The maid Azhen is an orphan adopted by the Pei Mansion. She has been with Jingwen since she was ten years old, taking care of her daily life.
The two are not sisters, but they are better than sisters. Jing Wen never treats Azhen as a servant and talks to Azhen about everything that matters to her.
Jing Wen doesn't go out much on weekdays, and the only person who cares about her in the huge Pei family is her personal maid Azhen.
Jingwen's mother died of illness before Jingwen could remember. The current wife of the Pei Mansion was Pei Luogang's second wife. Mrs. Pei was an introvert, and Jingwen had no feelings for her, and she could not speak a few words on weekdays.
Azhen helped Jingwen into the carriage and took her back to Pei Mansion.
Jingwen's room is well-decorated, with various large and small ornaments. The most conspicuous one is a bookcase against the wall. There are rows of poems, poems and poems on it, and of course Jingwen's favorite collection of Jianghu from various places.
Story novel.
A faint scent of sandalwood lingers in the room, but rouge and gouache are rarely seen in the girl's room. Jing Wen usually doesn't like these.
…
Wei Laojiu accepted Shimen's employment and sneaked into Pei Mansion to look for the Tianyun Mountain sect's martial arts genealogy.
Performing Qinggong, he touched the ground with his toes and landed firmly in the courtyard of Pei Mansion.
Wei Laojiu, who had already explored the layout of the Pei Mansion, was quick and skillful in searching without wasting any time.
Pei Luo placed the martial arts manual in his study. A sophisticated lock securely placed the martial arts manual in an iron box.
Strangely enough, Lao Jiu found this small iron box without much effort.
There are no valuables in the study, they are all placed normally. This iron box is locked, which makes it particularly eye-catching.
Jing Wen woke up.
Jingwen: "Azhen!"
Azhen took a nap from the chair next to her. When she heard Jingwen's voice, she got up and walked forward: "Miss."
Jing Wen was in a daze: "I am, how..."
Azhen: "Miss, you don't even know that you were drunk and talking nonsense. It was the children around Chang Shisan who spread the word and asked Azhen to pick you up."
Jing Wen sat up: "It's full of nonsense? What did I say?"
Azhen said in a long tone: "Brother Chang, Brother Chang, I didn't stop shouting. I don't know how many times I shouted!"
Jing Wenruo said indifferently: "What kind of nonsense is this? This is what I mean, do you understand?"
Jing Wen shrugged slightly, crossed her hands, stretched, and straightened her hair.
"Zhen, let's go for a walk and get some fresh air."
The two of them were walking under the courtyard, with wisps of moonlight falling, and the shadows of the trees lying quietly on the ground.
A few birds chirping could be heard, making the night particularly quiet and endearing.
Jing Wen: "Azhen, you said it would be great if I could really marry him in the future. You and I will go to Tianyun Mountain with him and meet those heroes in the world without looking up."
Azhen looked at Jingwen with a silly smile on her face: "Miss, then you are not the gang leader's wife! Commanding the heroes."
Jing Wen waved her hand: "I'm not interested in ordering the heroes at all. I only want to order one person, and that's Brother Chang, haha!"
The two chatted and laughed, frightening away the birds perching in the trees and frightening away the sleeping insects on the ground.
Suddenly a dark shadow flashed out!
Wei Laojiu had already succeeded, successfully opened the lock and stole the martial arts manual.
Even if you want to burn the martial arts book, you can't light an open flame in the night, as this is too eye-catching. Moreover, it is strange that Lao Jiuzang has selfish motives for claiming that the martial arts book has been destroyed, and he can just report it to Shimen. There is no need to let the martial arts book disappear. To Tianyun
Wouldn't it be a good thing to get such an important item from the Shan sect quietly?
Jing Wen pulled out the silver hairpin from her bun and struck hard at Wei Lao Jiu!
Azhen shouted: "Someone, come quickly, someone..."
Wei Laojiu dodged and accurately grasped the flying silver hairpin.
He heard A-Zhen shouting, "Whoosh!" The silver hairpin penetrated her throat. The half-sentence of A-Zhen's unfinished words never got a chance to be uttered.
The moment when Wei Laojiu looked back and took out the silver hairpin, Jing Wen could vaguely see the cover-up wrapped around his eyes through the moonlight.
Azhen's voice suddenly stopped, and Jingwen looked back and saw that blood had flowed from her throat and stained her collar.
Azhen's staring eyes were staring straight at Jingwen's face, it was a kind of pain on the verge of death!
Jingwen panicked and immediately hugged Azhen who fell down. Azhen's throat was congested and she couldn't say a word.
Jingwen's trembling voice was almost tearing: "Azhen! Azhen! Azhen!"
Azhen's breath just...disappeared.
Azhen is dead.
Died in Jingwen's arms.
The servants of the Pei Mansion gathered around, and strangely enough, Lao Jiu had disappeared without a trace.
Jingwen's body trembled and tears rushed out of her eyes.
"Azhen"
"Ah, Jane"
Pei Luo ran over. Azhen was lying in Jingwen's arms, with a silver hairpin stuck around her neck.
Pei Luo was shocked: "Wen'er, Azhen, what happened? Who did it!" Mrs. Pei followed closely.
"Wen'er?"
"Wen'er?"
Jingwen remained motionless and lost her mind.
The person I was talking and laughing with just now is losing his warmth little by little.
The girl who grew up with him...is gone.
She had never seen a dead person, let alone Azhen.
She almost collapsed!
In his mind was Azhen's last look as she stared at him in agony.
Jing Wen looked pale and could not hear Pei Luo's call, but Azhen's "Miss" call kept coming to her ears.
Pei Luo: "Wen'er!"
Jing Wen fainted and fell into Pei Luo's arms.
Pei Luo took Jing Wen back to the room. He ordered someone to prepare a coffin and lay Ah Zhen properly.
Pei Luo asked: "What happened just now?"
The servant replied: "The little people heard Miss Azhen shouting "Someone is coming" and "Someone is here", so they hurriedly came over to check, but they found nothing, and Miss Azhen also..."
Did someone break into Pei's house?
Peiro guessed.
If this is really the case, then what is this person doing? Peluo was worried and came to the study to look at the iron box.
To say that the Pei Mansion can recruit masters who come and go freely, it must be inseparable from these three martial arts books.
Peiro looked at the iron box. The lock on it was intact and seemed untouched.
He took off the key from his waist and opened the lock box above. There was nothing in it!
Pei Luo probably already understood that someone sneaked into the house and stole the martial arts book. Azhen shouted, "Kill the thief quickly."
It’s just that such a sophisticated lock has been opened before. Shouldn’t the first reaction of an ordinary little thief when seeing a lock be to take away the box? From this point of view, it would be easy for someone to open this sophisticated lock.
.
The thief showed no mercy and directly took Azhen's life.
Pei Luo panicked: What kind of person is he, eyeing the martial arts book?
…
Wei Laojiu took the martial arts manual with him and sent a message to Shi Huachun: the martial arts manual had been burned.
Shi Huachun has arrived in Ping'an Town. He originally wanted to take this opportunity to disguise the matter as if Pei Luo had secretly lost his martial arts book.
If Pei Luo didn't know that the martial arts book was missing and couldn't hand it over to Chang Shisan, then Chang Shisan would definitely think that Pei Luo was playing tricks on him. The relationship between the two families naturally became tense, and Shimen took the opportunity to kill Pei Luo.
It won't be a problem to win over the family.
However, at dawn, Shi Huachun had already heard the news that a thief had been recruited in the Pei Mansion and someone had died.
Shi Huachun cursed in his heart: Blame Lao Jiu is so successful that he fails more than he fails! Everyone is dead, Chang Shisan will never think that Wu Pu is Pei Luo's deliberate trick again!
It seems that if the competition for marriage continues, then I really have to take action myself!
