Shen Yulou sat in front of the dressing mirror, and a peerless and charming face was reflected in the mirror. However, at this moment, there was no expression on this world-famous face. It was like an iceberg that had been silent for thousands of years, making it inaccessible.
Even her personal maid Qing Zhi could only lower her head and stand on one side, not daring to make a sound to disturb her.
After a long while, Shen Yulou finally spoke: "You did a good job today."
Qing Zhi lowered her head in a low voice: "Qing'er refused at first, but it was my servant who spent a lot of effort to get her to surrender."
Naturally, Qing'er didn't commit suicide by throwing herself into a trap, but Qing Zhi strangled her to death with white silk, and then pretended to commit suicide by throwing herself into a trap. In this way, what happened next would be so logical.
Now Qing'er's body has been dragged away and buried, and the matter has settled with Qing'er's death.
Shen Yulou looked at himself in the mirror and asked without looking back: "Did Sixth Sister know about what happened before?"
"The girl is talking about the lotus pond?"
Shen Yulou nodded slightly.
Qing Zhi just shook her head: "My servant is careful and does not attract attention from others. Even if someone finds the stones on the lotus pond, there is no evidence. As for picking lotus..."
She paused for a moment, then continued: "Cailian only thought that she was doing things for the fourth girl, and had no idea that it was your order, girl. Even if she retorted, she couldn't betray the girl. If the girl is still worried, maid
It can make Cai Lian never speak again."
"No need." Shen Yulou just waved his hand, "Since Sixth Sister has kept her, she must be of some use, and there will be good things to watch in the future."
"Young lady, do you think... Miss Sixth is targeting the girl today because of what she knew about the past?" Qing Zhi pondered for a moment, then added, "Maybe Miss Sixth just wants to find a way to escape."
Shen Yulou closed the dowry, stood up, and said, "Let's go to Rongxueyuan."
Qing Zhi raised her head in shock: "Girl, it's already so late, not to mention it's raining so heavily."
However, Shen Yulou walked away without looking back. Seeing this, Qing Zhi had no choice but to pick up her umbrella and lantern and quickly follow Shen Yulou.
…
Melting Snow Courtyard.
The rain was so intense that all the pear blossoms on the tree in the courtyard withered under the heavy rain, and even the originally strong and straight branches continued to tremble in the strong wind and rain.
"I don't know what happened today, but it rained so heavily." Dan Shafang came in from outside the house and put away her umbrella, but she was already mostly wet. She shook her sleeves and said, "Hua Qing and Qing Ya
We are already in the yard now, and the four girls can't embarrass them."
Chensha was changing clothes for Shen Fengxu.
Chen Fengxu took off her original complicated clothes and wore only a moon-white middle coat. There was no hairpin on her head, only silk-like green silk hanging around her back. She nodded and said, "Well, Hua Yan also received it."
Are you at home yet?"
"My maid has brought the flower inkstone in the afternoon."
What happened today was naturally unexpected by Shen Yuxiang.
She originally wanted to let Hua Qing steal something from Shen Fengxu, but she didn't expect that what she got from Hua Qing in the end was Shen Yulou's personal belongings. If the trick didn't work, she would definitely deal with Hua Qing, but now Hua Qing and Hua Qing
The inkstones were all in the Rongxue Courtyard, and Shen Yuxiang was helpless.
"The maid named Qing'er must be dead, right?"
"Yes." Dan Sha was slightly concerned, "My maid just saw the steward sending someone to put Qing'er into a bag and drag her away. What happened today has nothing to do with Qing'er..."
Qing'er was so innocent that she was dragged out by Shen Yulou to take the blame and die. She was also the eldest girl in Jinfang Courtyard, but her death was so unclear, which makes people feel as sad as a rabbit dying and a fox dying.
In the high gate compound, the lives of maids and servants are always so worthless.
"What happened today has nothing to do with the girl..." Chensha spoke.
As he was talking, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the courtyard door, one after another, not urgently nor slowly.
Dansha couldn't help but be startled: "It's so late, who else will come?"
"Whoever it is, please open the door first." Chen Fengxu shook his head slightly and looked up out of the window. However, his view was obscured by the rain, and he could only vaguely see the withered flowers and leaves all over the courtyard.
Cinnabar went away in response.
The person who came was none other than Shen Yulou.
Qing Zhi stood behind Shen Yulou, with most of the oil-paper umbrella in front of Shen Yulou. She was already soaked, and water could almost be squeezed out of her clothes. However, despite this, the rain was heavy, and most of Shen Yulou was already soaked. .
Shen Fengxu was a little surprised and hurriedly stood up to greet her: "Why is eldest sister here?"
As she spoke, she pulled Shen Yulou into the house, then turned to Dansha and said, "Quickly go and ask the kitchen to bring a bowl of ginger soup to warm up my eldest sister."
Shen Yulou was led into the house by Shen Fengxu. Chensha had already moved the stool. After Shen Yulou sat down, Fang raised his head and looked at Shen Fengxu carefully.
Tonight, her clothes were not as complicated and gorgeous as those at the family dinner in the evening. She only wore a thin middle coat, but her temperament was even more outstanding. Although she was only eleven years old, she had already revealed her world-class charm with every glance and smile.
If she has the hair and the hair, I'm sure her appearance will not be inferior to anyone's.
Thinking like this, Shen Yulou already spoke: "What happened today must have scared Sixth Sister."
"That's not true." Shen Fengxu just smiled slightly, "On the contrary, it is really worrying that the eldest sister was slandered by others. I was worried about the eldest sister. Fortunately, Qing'er threw herself into a trap in time and saved the eldest sister. of innocence.”
She deliberately emphasized the word "timely".
"A few months ago, I gave you the jade bracelet." Shen Yulou raised his eyes and looked directly at Chen Fengxu, as if looking into the heart of Chen Fengxu through those dark eyes.
Shen Fengxu smiled.
Yes, this is something both of them know very well.
But she tilted her head and asked with a half-smile, "Really? I didn't know. Why didn't the eldest sister say anything at that time?"
Shen Yulou also smiled, her smile was very warm and warm, she just heard her say: "The thief is bent on slandering Liu Mei, how can I just sit idly by and ignore it? Besides, Liu Mei does not have a loyal maid like Qing'er by her side. son."
Unfailingly loyal...?
For some reason, the two of them were clearly smiling, but the air seemed to have suddenly cooled down, making people shudder.
On the side, Chensha and Qingzhi couldn't help but look at each other, and both closed their sleeves, feeling as if they were in the coldest month of winter.
"Sister, did you come here on a rainy night just for these few words?"
"I don't blame you." Shen Yulou just said.
"Oh?" Chen Fengxu raised his eyebrows slightly, "What do you mean, eldest sister?"
Shen Yulou stood up, took a step forward, walked to Shen Fengxu, and just smiled slightly: "Even if you have the intention to harm me, you are still my sixth sister."
The distance between the two was so close that Shen Fengxu could almost smell the scent of Luhexiang on Shen Yulou's body.
So she turned her head and said, "Then Feng Xu will thank eldest sister first."
