A group of maids were waiting outside the door. They all had dark circles under their eyes and were running around anxiously. As soon as they heard the door ring, they all stopped and lowered their heads, not daring to look up.
"Where is your master? Why didn't you come back last night?" Hua Xiaogu said with a hint of laziness in his voice, and he was obviously still sleepy.
The maids looked at me and I looked at you, but none of them dared to come out and speak.
They are just ordinary second- and third-class maids, and they don't have much interaction with the young master on weekdays. The only caring servant around the young master, Tianlu, is not here at the moment.
It was a night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber, and the bridegroom stayed away all night long. It would not sound good if this was told. If it reached the ears of the madam, maybe all the slaves in the yard would be punished!
But at this moment, Hua Xiaogu didn't think so much. She scratched her head, frowned and turned back, muttering to herself: "Is it possible... I'm so drunk that I don't dare to come back?
?Tsk, it’s really not a worry, I have to look for it.”
Hua Xiaogu took care of herself and did not let the maids outside the door, who had been frightened for a long time, come to help. She sat in front of the mirror and neatly pulled her hair into a woman's bun. This
It was also one of the lessons for educating her grandma. Fortunately, Hua Xiaogu lived up to her command and could at least manage her hair. She looked around at herself in the mirror, then picked a quiet and pleasing hairpin and inserted it into her hair, fixing it.
After tying her hair into a bun, she stood up and walked out the door.
While it's still early, I have to find Tian Lanqing quickly. If I delay the tea ceremony for my parents-in-law, I'm afraid Lan Qing will be taught a lesson by his wife.
Hua Xiaogu walked out of the yard and walked to Tian Lanqing's study without thinking. The thought of "Did he find another woman" had never occurred to her, and she had never thought about it instinctively.
As soon as she stepped into the study room, she saw the two brothers sitting opposite each other, both of them looking serious at the moment.
"What's wrong?" Hua Xiaogu felt strange. She walked into the study and looked around at the faces of the two brothers: "Is it possible that you just sat face to face like this all night?"
Tian Lanqing seemed to suddenly come to her senses, and quickly raised her head to look out the window. Only then did she know that it was almost dawn.
He looked at Hua Xiaogu with an apologetic look, his lips pursed tightly.
Hua Xiaogu's heart skipped a beat, and then he hesitated and asked softly: "...What happened?"
"The magpie was captured by the government." Tian Languang blurted out in a hoarse voice.
"What?!" Hua Xiaogu was startled. She walked in front of Tian Languang in two or three steps, her eyes widened, and she was extremely nervous: "What happened?"
How to do how to do!
She had long advised Magpie not to get so much human blood on her hands! Even those who died on her hands were deserving of death, and the government had never been able to control matters in the world, but if the horse made a mistake, who knew?
Who and what kind of trouble will I get into?
"She didn't do it!" Tian Languang raised his head, with a sad look on his face: "Miss Qingyue of Zuihua Pavilion died, and the old madam sued the government, saying that Magpie was the only one who had a grudge against her."
Hua Xiaogu's heart was shocked. She sat numbly on a chair nearby and didn't say a word for a long time.
Difficult to handle.
It's too difficult to handle.
Magpie was originally a person in the world, so no one would be surprised if she said she killed one or two people. But how could that girl die? How could it be related to Magpie?
"When were you taken away?"
"Last night." Tian Languang's voice was a little hoarse: "At the last moment, someone from the government came."
Hua Xiaogu clenched his fists: "How could she be arrested? It wasn't her fault. She should be arrested for nothing! Doesn't that mean she's admitting it?"
"She said she couldn't affect your wedding." Tian Languang's voice was a little weak. He lowered his head, feeling extremely frustrated: "I should have stopped her."
Tian Lanqing sighed and said: "The matter has not been decided yet. We have to go to the government to inquire clearly. If we want to prove Magpie's innocence, we must at least understand the whole thing."
Hua Xiaogu nodded and stood up: "I'll order the carriage and we'll be out in a moment."
"Sister-in-law," Tian Languang raised his head and looked at Hua Xiaogu: "You... haven't worshiped your ancestors yet."
On the first day of the wedding, the bride will be brought to worship the ancestors and inform the ancestors of the Tian family that the Tian family has a new member.
Not to mention ancestor worship, it's so early in the morning and they haven't even served tea to their parents-in-law yet!
Hua Xiaogu bit her lower lip and looked up at Tian Lanqing.
"Let's go visit our parents first. We can't let them know about this for the time being, so as not to worry them. Lan Guang, you are impulsive, so don't go out for now. I'll ask Tian Lu to go out and find out the matter clearly. When the ancestor worship is over, we
Let’s meet here and make the next step.”
After Tian Lanqing finished giving instructions, he turned his head and glanced at Tianlu, who had big dark circles under his eyes. Tianlu bowed silently, then bowed and left.
Tian Languang lowered his head and said nothing. After a while, he raised his head and glanced at his eldest brother: "I'm not impulsive, but can I go and see the magpie first? She is a girl after all, and she was caught in prison..."
Tian Lanqing glanced at him for a few times, seeing that her younger brother seemed to have grown up a lot overnight. She couldn't bear to say anything more and just nodded silently.
Then, the newlyweds left the study, leaving Tian Languang alone, silently touching his chest and taking out a strand of hair.
Let's talk about Magpie. The three people in Tian's house were very anxious, but Magpie didn't care. Although it was the first time she came back to the prison cell, she seemed to have been mentally prepared for so many years in the world, and she lived very comfortably.
.
After waking up naturally from his sleep, the magpie rolled over from the straw, rubbed his nose, and raised his eyelids to look at the food handed in from the middle of the prison bar.
"Hey, buddy!" Magpie said, calling out to the prison officer who was delivering prison meals. She opened her mouth and showed what she thought was a kind smile: "When will I be tried in court?"
The prison guard looked back and saw the woman in red in the dark cell, smiling strangely at him with her white teeth exposed, and he suddenly shuddered all over.
Edi Niang, is this the legendary magpie that people in the world call ghosts seeing sorrow?
It’s really oozing!
"No... I don't know!" the prison guard said, and quickly got up and walked out.
The magpie felt bored, stood up, and leaned next to the prisoner. His nose moved and his brows furrowed.
It smells rancid, and only a few wilted green leaves can be seen in a bowl of turbid porridge. Is this edible?
She was a little disgusted, turned around and sat back, and began to laugh at herself: It is indeed difficult to go from luxury to frugality! I am afraid that her mouth has been spoiled by that boy Tian Languang.
