MTL - Don’t Learn Mandarin Ducks-Chapter 17 Be a slave, don't lie
For the next few days, Li Jingyun did not step into the main house again, and the daily meals were brought for her by Badou.
"Have you offended Young Master Yin Zhang?" Ba Dou was really puzzled, "It was fine before."
"No big deal." She smiled.
He won't take it seriously, and she won't take it to heart.
"But the young master has not been in the house." Badou was embarrassed, "If the general asks, what should the servant say?"
Badou was humbly taught, and sent the tableware back to the kitchen.
Huayue looked out the window, the wind blew the trees, the light and shadow swayed, for a moment, she felt that she saw a piece of clothes.
If you look closely, there are only green trees in the same color as the clothes.
Shaking her head, she pulled the quilt over her head.
The rain in Jinghua has not stopped, and it has been raining for three days. The rain falls on the windowsill and ticks, disturbing the beat of Konghou.
A jade fan stretched out from the window to catch it, and the rain splashed on the carvings, dyeing the front placket with dark flowers.
Li Jingyun didn't care, just leaned against the flower window and smiled: "It's a pity that there is no sunny day, otherwise you can watch the unique flower hairpin and colorful fan dance in Qifenglou."
Li Jingyun turned around and said, "I'm used to being sloppy, how can I suffer in the training ground? There is a big brother at home who is loyal to the country. I hide behind him, and I always have two points of leisure to steal."
"Oh?" Zhou Heshuo got up and took two steps forward, his deep and sharp eyes showed, and looked at him fixedly, "Bengong heard that you have a happy event with the Han family recently, and plan to beg."
"What, I'm not happy?"
"How can this be wishful?" He sat beside him angrily, he shook his head, "I can't live with Han Shuang, but my parents insisted on this marriage, and let me I will accompany her to the temple fair, and what jade pendant should I give."
Zhou Heshuo's eyelids moved slightly and asked softly, "Did you send it?"
"No, I didn't see Han Shuang that day, and the jade pendant was gone."
Zhou Heshuo was silent, his eyes fell on the man in front of him, three points of suspicion and seven points of confusion.
But at the moment, it seems that is not the case.
"On the second day of the fourth lunar month." Zhou Heshuo opened his mouth, paused, and then softened his tone, "The moon was big and round that day, and I was watching in the palace, but I was thinking of you. Come on, I don't know where you are going."
"The second day of April?" Li Jingyun pinched his fingers blankly, "I was still grounded by my father at that time, where can I go to have sex?"
Leaning on the back of the chair, he muttered angrily: "There is no wine, there is no beauty, the dog in the house is still alive, I play with it for a while and then go to sleep ."
Smiling but not smiling, Zhou Heshuo took a sip of tea.
"Your Highness." The guard's voice came from outside the door, "The third son's friend is here."
Zhou Heshuo nodded, put down the teacup and got up and said, "Since your friends are getting together, I will not disturb them, so as not to restrain them. There is a nine-stringed phoenix below, I will go and listen."
"His Royal Highness walk slowly." Li Jingyun stood up and saluted.
When they were far away, he faded his smile and rubbed his eyebrows wearily.
Xu Changyi and Liu Chenghe came in and saw him sitting intact, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"The Lord is gone?"
"Well." Li Jingyun raised his eyes, "How is it?"
Li Jingyun nodded and rubbed her stiff neck: "I almost killed my father."
"It's beautiful." Li Jingyun hummed, "What kind of deceiver are people who eat royal meals? As long as there is a flaw, none of us today want to put their heads back. neck."
Xu Changyi smiled: "The third master is omnipotent, how can he fall on this small ridge."
The two talked for a while, Liu Chenghe remained silent, Li Jingyun looked at him sideways and raised his eyebrows: "What do you think?"
Frowning in embarrassment, Liu Chenghe asked, "What kind of person is that maid next to the third master?"
Like a thief."
Thinking of the way she was avoiding and resisting that day, he felt a fire in his heart, and he wanted to buy ten Baolai Pavilion hairpins and break them one by one in front of her, so that she would know what it was angry.
Liu Chenghe paled: "That's over."
"What?" Li Jingyun tapped the strings of the table, "Can you finish what you have to say?"
Liu Chenghe glanced at him, scratched his head and added, "It's in your yard."
The ink pupil froze slightly, and Li Jingyun reacted for a while before realizing who would be taken away in his yard.
The jade bone fan tightened, his face sank, and after a while, he reached out to cover his eyes.
—This is what she taught Ba Dou, and he was listening outside the window, half-dead. But the anger returned to anger, and she didn't immediately put her back in the office.
It's good now, it's too late to put it back.
Li Jingyun got up and walked out.
Xifenglou is a big place, the three-storey eaves are hung with lanterns with red background and gold thread, in the hall, birds and swallows dance and smile constantly, the shopkeeper with abacus wears a string of The gold and silver jewelry brushed past him and bumped into his hand lightly.
Li Jingyun continued to walk forward with no expression on his face, reaching the second floor, turning his palms, a key lying quietly, just enough to open the door in front of him.
Zhou Heshuo is next to him.
I'll let you go back after asking."
The little maid in front of him was frightened, and crawled in front of him, her small body shaking like a dead leaf in the wind.
Zhou Heshuo laughed: "Don't be afraid, I'm old acquaintance with your master, and I won't hurt you."
Sure enough, the little girl calmed down a bit, raised her head timidly, and glanced at him quickly.
The weak and helpless eyes are like the clear rain outside the house.
Zhou Heshuo paused, his tone softer: "Just three questions, you can answer them."
Huayue lowered her eyes, the hands in her sleeves were pinched white. She never expected to see this person in this way, and what she didn't expect was that he looked kind and kind now.
The red walls and yellow tiles of a long time ago were full of fire, and this face was covered in blood, hideous and mad. But in a flash, his eyes softened and he asked her with a smile, "Have you seen this jade pendant?"
The white jade mandarin duck pendant was handed over, Zhou Heshuo looked at it, and saw the maid raised her eyes and stared at it, a hint of surprise in her eyes, and then lowered her head: "See... I have seen it, yes The lady picked it for the son."
Nodding slightly, he asked again: "Then do you remember when this thing disappeared?"
She trembled and spoke with a weeping tone: "Remember, this jade slave servant remembers it best."
Li Jingyun wiped her face and pointed a small crossbow at Yin Huayue with the hole in the wall.
He knew that slaves could not be trusted, no matter what kind of slaves, they would betray their masters for their own lives.
The East Court doesn't need a valet, it didn't need it before, and it won't need it in the future.
pursing his lips, he squeezed the organ with a slight force.
"...that day, I met Miss Han to offer incense, and when the son came back, there was nothing on his waist." The little maid shrank her shoulders, and her voice was full of fear, "Young master thought it was a slave move. The hands and feet, almost... almost drove the slave out of the East Courtyard."
Glancing at Yupei again, she whispered aggrievedly: "It turned out to be here."
"..." The hand that fastened the mechanism froze, and then slowly loosened.
Li Jingyun stared blankly through the small hole, and saw Yin Huayue sitting timidly and shyly, with tears in her eyes, helpless and pitiful, how could she still be calm in the house looks like.
Women's tears are the most confusing things, Zhou Heshuo softened his heart, lowered his body and squatted in front of her, shaking the white jade mandarin duck and asked, "When the second day of the fourth lunar month arrives at Hai, what will you do? Is my son in the house?"
Remembering for a moment seriously, Huayue nodded lightly: "Yes, he was playing with the dog in Xixiaomen...and was almost bitten by the dog. Many people saw it at that time, and the slaves were also there. ."
The doubts in my heart disappeared, Zhou Heshuo pursed his lips, and rubbed his brows in reproach. He glanced at the maid in front of him, suddenly crouched down in front of her, loosened his fingers, and Ren Yupei fell into her arms.
She raised her eyes in confusion, and she happened to meet Zhou Heshuo's gentle gaze.
"It's a small matter." He wiped the tears from the end of her eyes with his fingers, and smiled gently, "It's not worth your crying."
Who can stand this? With a hundred slaves standing in a row, His Royal Highness can penetrate ninety-nine hearts with one arrow, no matter who is eating, at this moment, they are willing to go through fire and water for His Royal Highness, no matter what.
Zhou Heshuo is very confident, he is very familiar with this trick, and he has tried everything. In this way, this maid will not complain to Li Jingyun, and his suspicion and speculation today will not hurt the two friendship.
Sure enough, the little girl in front of her blushed, and she dared not look at him again, and turned her head away shyly. She should have got up and said goodbye, but she didn't move, she just stayed in front of him like this, wanting to stay with him longer.
