The rain became heavier and heavier, until night fell, it was still raining heavily. A few flashes of lightning appeared and disappeared in the sky, and a few muffled thunders were occasionally heard, which made people feel unusually depressed and made Shui Muyao become more and more restless.
Aunt Liu's illness was insignificant to anyone in the house, especially the maids and women who had been whipped by her. The eldest lady and the third lady wished she would die of illness. Although Shui Lianyue did not want to pay much attention to it,
Because her mother's kindness showed up again, she simply sent Hongying to the next door to see if Zhuge Ling had returned.
Seeing that after dinner, Zhuge Ling still didn't come back, even Shui Lianyue murmured, suddenly remembering what the evil man said last night, the master hasn't come back so late, could it be related to what happened recently?
As time passed, the rain outside the house was still raining. Hongying hurriedly walked in with an oil umbrella, but her face was panicked. She glanced at Shui Muyao first, handed the umbrella to Qiaocui, and hurried towards Shuilian.
Yue, leaned over and whispered.
"The eldest lady and the third lady just went to Muyan Pavilion and found that Shui Muyao was not there. Not only did they have people beat the maid who was guarding the door, they also sent many people throughout the house to search for her whereabouts. When I came back, I vaguely saw them
I'm on my way to Lanxiang Pavilion, and it looks like I'm in trouble again." [
Shui Lianyue was startled for a moment, then looked at Shui Muyao indifferently, and waved her hand to signal Hongying to step aside. Shui Muyao, on the other hand, seemed to have noticed something. With her identity, she was on pins and needles all day long. Her sensitivity
Natural improvement.
She thought for a moment, then with difficulty showed a faint smile on her pale face and said: "I think I'd better go back and see my mother first. I've been out for a day and I don't know if my mother has eaten on time. If the master comes back,
Please say a few words for me."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shui Manyao walked straight out of the door without waiting for Shui Lianyue to speak. Shui Lianyue didn't say anything to stop her and allowed her to leave.
The fourth lady on the side looked at Shui Muyao's weak figure, running in the rain, faltering, and couldn't bear to look at Shui Lianyue, and said softly: "Now that Aunt Liu has stepped down, how can you say that Yao'er is also your biological sister?"
, What's more, what's the difference between the current eldest lady and Liu Ruoyan back then? No matter how much you hate, it's all over. If you have to be merciful and merciful, why do you have to be so ruthless?"
"Yes, miss, if she goes out now, she will definitely meet the eldest lady and her gang on the way. Right now, the eldest lady is eager to grab Aunt Liu's pigtails and pinch her hard." Hongying also couldn't bear it. She just passed by the garden.
At the same time, she clearly heard the tone of the eldest lady's order to the servants, and she was obviously angry, as if she could eat Shui Muyao in one bite if she were in front of her.
Shui Lianyue glanced at Hongying in astonishment and said jokingly: "I don't know when you cared so much about Shui Miyao"?
"Miss, you know that's not what I meant," Hongying defended hastily. After seeing that Shui Lianyue was not really angry, she lowered her head coquettishly.
Shui Lianyue smiled faintly, then looked at the silent Zhuge Gurong and asked, "Rong, what do you think?"
Zhuge Gurong sighed softly and looked at the damp ground outside the door. The heavy rain was splashing water droplets on the ground. It had been raining for a day. When he saw it covered the steps, there was a look of worry on his face.
After watching for a while, he turned his head to Shui Lianyue, smiled and said, "If you are so worried about it, why bother asking me again?"
Shui Lianyue was slightly stunned after hearing Zhuge Gurong's words, and then smiled and said: "Just go, there's no need to beat around the bush."
While talking, Hongying asked Hongying to get a coat and put it on, holding an oil umbrella and a lantern, and went out with Hongying.
Not far after leaving Lanxiang Pavilion, I saw a group of people gathered together. Although the rain was loud in my ears, I could still vaguely hear Meng Qiuhe's angry shouting from the crowd.
The two looked at each other, walked over quickly, and pushed aside the crowd. They saw Shui Muyao lying on the ground covered in mud. Her whole body was shaking. There were faint blood stains on her cheeks. From time to time, there were maids kicking her around.
Hit twice.
"Stop", there was a cold shout, and everyone turned their attention to Shui Lianyue. Meng Qiuhe was also slightly startled, and his face turned pale, but when he saw that the person who came was Shui Lianyue, he then returned to his original state and glared at her, slightly
He said majestically: "It turns out to be the Fourth Miss. It's raining so heavily today. If you don't stay in Lanxiang Pavilion to take care of yourself, why are you running out?"
Her words were slightly caring, but Shui Lianyue didn't take it to heart. She ignored Meng Qiuhe and asked Hongying to help Shui Muyao quickly, and then handed her a cloak to wrap her up. At this time, Shui Muyao was originally
Her frail body was already shivering from the cold, and her face was extremely pale. When she saw that the person coming was Shui Lianyue, instead of crying aggrievedly, she smiled happily at her while trembling.
"You're here after all." As soon as she finished speaking, Shui Muyao fell into Hongying's arms and fainted.
"Come here, send her back to Muyan Pavilion." Meng Qiuhe ignored Shui Lianyue. When he saw Shui Muyao fainting, he sternly ordered the maid next to him.
"I'll take you back to Lanxiang Pavilion. Madam, you don't have to worry anymore." Shui Lianyue held an umbrella for Hongying and the two of them. She just looked at Meng Qiuhe indifferently and said, then turned to leave.[
Meng Qiuhe originally did not want to have too many conflicts with Shui Lianyue. She knew that Shui Lianyue had contributed a lot to Aunt Liu's downfall. Moreover, her master had not left yet, and she had not yet secured her position as eldest lady.
But in front of so many maids and women, Shui Lianyue's attitude was clearly embarrassing for her, and suddenly, a surge of anger arose in her heart.
"Stop", Meng Qiuhe shouted, Shui Lianyue stopped and turned around, but before Meng Qiuhe could speak, she said coldly: "Your position as eldest lady is not easy to come by, just cherish it.
, don’t make me unhappy.”
As soon as the words came out, everyone present, including Meng Qiuhe, stood dumbfounded, watching helplessly as Shui Lianyue and Hongying's backs faded away, while the maids and women around them did not dare to say a word.
It wasn't until a long time later that the rain became heavier and heavier. Meng Qiuhe half-squinted his eyes and shot out a faint murderous intention. He flashed in an instant, "Oh Shui Lianyue, I'm toasting like this without having to eat the penalty wine. I'll give you some thin noodles. You
