116. Chapter 116 The Girl Grinding Her Nails With a Dagger
The Zi family's courtyard is so large that it took a while to reach a courtyard gate with a towering gate.
On the white jade steps, the guards stood solemnly, and on the purple jade plaque were two large gilt characters - "Purple Garden".
This is where the head of the Zi family lives in the past, and it is also the most luxurious place in the entire Zi family.
On the steps, a Zi family guard wearing leather armor saw Zi Xiaoshan and immediately walked up to him, "This must be Miss Zi Tong. The master of the house ordered her to be taken directly to the study."
"I got it." Zi Xiaoshan agreed, and led Zi Tong into the yard, and went directly to the study room with Moxiangzhai hanging in the backyard. He signaled her to wait, and went in first to report. He came back a moment later, smiling.
Help Zi Tong lift the amethyst curtain hanging in the study room, "Miss Zi Tong, the master of the house invites you to come in."
Nodding, Zi Tong stepped through the door, while Zi Tu naturally stayed outside.
Entering the hall, no one was seen.
"Come in!" A gentle male voice came from the inner room, and Zi Tong walked straight in. Sure enough, he saw Zi Qiong, the head of the Zi family, standing in front of the window with hands tied. When he heard her footsteps, he immediately turned around and looked towards her, "Come back.
Already?"
"Thank you for your concern, Patriarch. Zi Tong just came back today. I wonder what the Patriarch would say if he came to see Zi Tong?" Zi Tong asked in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.
Zi Qiong's eyes slowly looked from her head to her feet, and then from her feet to her head, "There's nothing special, I just want to see you and see how tired you are, so I thought you'd have to work hard to find medicine, so go back to Lengyue Pavilion and rest early.
, the pavilion has arranged two maids for you, just ask them if you have anything to do, and if you have any problems that cannot be solved, you can come to me at any time."
You came to her in such a hurry because you just wanted to "see her"?!
Zi Tong glanced at Zi Qiong suspiciously, trying to get some clues from his eyes, but she didn't expect that he had turned around and looked out the window again, as if there was a flower there that she couldn't get enough of, and raised his right hand to look at her.
Waved.
"Purple Eyes Resign!"
A series of previous events have long shown that the head of the family obviously treats him somewhat specially, but it seems that he doesn't want to say it yet.
Anyway, since he didn't want to say it and she didn't ask, she wanted to see how long he could endure it.
Zi Tong turned around and walked out of the room. Listening to her footsteps getting further away, Zi Qiong slowly retracted her gaze.
"This girl looks exactly like you, indeed!"
Zi Tong walked out of the study, and Zi Tu took her to Lengyue Pavilion, introducing Lengyue Pavilion all the way.
"Except for the Purple Garden, it is the most beautiful garden in the entire main residence of the Zi family. In spring, wisteria flowers bloom, and in autumn, you can watch the moon at the lake..." After turning around a corridor, Zi Tu raised his hand and pointed forward, "Look, miss, that's where it is."
.”
Zi Tong looked up and saw a very elegant garden not far away. On the Moon Gate hung a plaque of Lengyue Pavilion, with wisteria coiled above it. This was the time in spring when the wisteria flowers were blooming. Looking from a distance
, piled up on the gate tower like purple snow, it is very pleasing to the eye.
It's a pity that what accompanies the beautiful scenery is not the pleasant music, but the screams, wails and cries of women.
Zi Tong raised her eyebrows, and with a sway, she had arrived in the courtyard. She followed the sound and saw the courtyard not far away.
Under the purple vines not far away, Ziyun sat elegantly on a wooden chair. Two young waitresses were in front of her, and another girl in a blue dress was sharpening her nails with a dagger.
The two maids were kneeling on the ground, their whole bodies trembling.
