Thinking of this, Qiulian scanned the people in the courtyard. The only ones in Yuege who knew that Pu Yue was missing were the four of them. She thought that it was impossible for the four of them to spread the news, so there might be someone with eyes in the courtyard.
.
Otherwise, for more than a month, no one has come to Yuege to disturb her, so why did the second lady come to visit today when the seventh lady disappeared?
But Qiulian had no time to think about it, so she and Dongxue could only stand in the yard with pale faces. When the servants saw that the first-class girls in Yue Pavilion didn't say a word, they lowered their heads silently as if they hadn't heard, and continued.
Do what you have to do!
But the knocking on the door continued, knocking clearly and unhurriedly on the Yue Pavilion door, as if knocking on their hearts.
Outside the door of Yue Pavilion, Mu Wanqiu had a stern expression on her face, and there was even more hatred deep in her eyes. This morning, I received news that there was some movement in Yue Pavilion, and it seemed that Pu Yue's little hooves had disappeared.
Although this kind of news cannot be called certain, Mu Wanqiu would never come so arrogantly in the past. However, an imperial edict conferring marriage completely shattered her sanity.
After knocking on the door for a long time, there was no movement at all in Yue Pavilion. What does this mean? I'm afraid that Pu Yue's little hoof is really not in Yue Pavilion...
Imagine that the legitimate daughter of a dignified protector of the country leaves the mansion privately on the second day of her marriage or stays out all night.
What does this mean?
The explanation is self-evident. If you lose your virtue before getting married, no matter how strong she is, she will not be able to defeat the imperial power.
So Mu Wanqiu didn't worry anymore, and ordered the person to knock on the door unhurriedly.
She raised her voice more and more gently, "Girl Yue, open the door. The second aunt is here to see you. I think you just got married yesterday, so I'm here to talk to you about the marriage of my daughter's family."
"Yue Yatou? Yue Yatou?..."
As time passed by bit by bit, Qiulian and Dongxue's faces turned pale and almost turned transparent. Their feet were so weak that it was difficult to even stand, so they could only support each other.
The two of them knew that shutting the door like this was not a long-term solution. Even if Chuntao invited the old man, they would not be able to explain without Pu Yue. However, at this moment, Mu Wanqiu's patience probably gave out, and she shouted sternly
Yang Yang said, "Pu Yue, did something happen to you inside? Someone is coming, please open the door for me quickly."
In Yue Pavilion, Qiu Lian and Dong Xue were both startled, seeing the despair in each other's eyes. However, the next second, a small voice came from behind them, and they both looked back.
For a moment, the two people seemed to be crying and laughing, and their faces were all colorful. Finally, they both covered their mouths and shouted in unison, "Master!"
Pu Yue glanced at Qiu Lian and Dong Xue coldly, raised her hand without saying a word, and did not instruct them to open the door. Instead, she stood at the door leisurely and raised her lips to the courtyard door with a cool smile.
When she came back from the city, she did not stop on the way but went straight back to the Protector General's Mansion. However, when she thought that she had left under the cover of night, it was obviously impossible for her to enter in such a bold manner.
So, she chose to sneak in through the back door. With her tricky skills, she still seemed to be in a deserted place even in the early morning. However, looking at the people surrounding Yue Pavilion from a distance, Pu Yue's eyes narrowed slightly.
