The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 457
In the dead of night, Cui Hengyue tossed and turned, but couldn't fall asleep.

She sat up abruptly, threw off the quilt and got out of bed, put on her coat and went outside.

Shui Rong was on duty tonight, she heard the movement, sat up and looked into the inner room, saw Cui Hengyue coming out, hurriedly put on her coat, got out of bed and lit the lamp.

"Yuanniang, do you want to drink water? Just call me, why get up?"

Cui Hengyue shook her head: "I can't sleep, go out and get some air."

Hearing this, Shui Rong walked in front of her and opened the door.

Cui Hengyue didn't go far, and sat down on a stone bench in the yard, resting her chin on her hand, staring at the moon in a daze.

Shui Rong hesitated for a while, sat down beside Cui Hengyue, and asked in a low voice: "What are you thinking?"

The yard was quiet.

Just when Shui Rong thought that Cui Hengyue would not respond to her, Cui Hengyue's doubtful voice came from next to her ear: "What kind of hatred would people attack a newborn child?"

Newborn baby?

"You're talking about...your compatriot brother?" Shui Rong asked tentatively.

Cui Hengyue nodded.

Shui Rong thought about it seriously, "It is said that a tiger's poison does not eat its children, and parents will not lay hands on their own children, but it is hard to say for others.

"If it's not crazy, then it must have been hurt too much and lost its mind, so it will attack the child."

frenzied?

Too much damage?

Cui Hengyue pondered over Shui Rong's words carefully, and told her the truth back then: "...if what A Chang said is true, where do you think I should start?"

Although she had been prepared for a long time, Shui Rong was still very surprised after hearing this: "Eda Zhong is dead, and almost all the people who knew the truth are dead.

"Even people who know a little bit of fur have been kicked out of the mansion, and now they don't know where they are. It takes too much time to find them."

She thought for a while: "Actually, there are people in the mansion who know the inside story, it's just that."

"It's just that they are all masters, so it's not easy to inquire about the news." Cui Hengyue followed her words.

What's more, they will definitely not say anything about their personal interests.

Cui Hengyue was a little melancholy, but had to think of a way: "Tell me, what if I start with Dafang?"

The eldest aunt is very good to her. If she asks, the eldest aunt will tell her, right?

Shui Rong scanned the surroundings, and after confirming that it was safe, she whispered: "This is the grievance between the third room and the fourth room. Even if the eldest room knew something, it was just a clue that leaked out afterwards. Maybe the eldest lady didn't know about it to you." many."

This is also true, after all Liu Yang is Cui Quan's confidant, and Liu Yang knows more than the eldest aunt.

"What about the second room?" Cui Hengyue analyzed: "The second room and the third room don't deal with each other, and they can't get used to the concubines, maybe they will know something.

"Also, the second aunt also gave birth that day. As the second son, the second master must have heard about what happened in the mansion. I can start with the second bedroom."

Cui Hengyue thought of a certain maid in the second room, and felt that this idea was very good.

However, Shui Rong poured cold water on her: "I heard that the second wife was greatly stimulated when she gave birth, and she had a row for several days, which disturbed the second room.

"The second master was busy taking care of the second wife at the time, how could he have time to manage the third and fourth bedrooms?
"Besides, the people around the second lady were kicked out back then, and now there are almost no old people from back then."

Cui Hengyue's expression became depressed: "The fifth house has always been ignored, and the people in the fifth house were there back then, which shows that they didn't know what happened back then.

"From this point of view, I can only start with the fourth room."

With that said, Cui Hengyue stood up: "I've decided, I want to visit the fourth room at night."

Before she finished speaking, she walked towards the room.

Everyone is asleep at this time, which is the best time to arrest people.

Although Shui Rong felt it was wrong, it was already the fastest way to find out the truth, so she chased after her: "Yuanniang, I'll go with you."

No need
Cui Hengyue habitually wanted to refuse, but changed her words: "Okay, go and change clothes."

The two put on night clothes and quietly left Jinglan Garden.

Shui Rong followed Cui Hengyue, watching her dodge the guards and hidden guards in the mansion with ease, Shui Rong knew that Cui Hengyue had sneaked into the fourth room more than once.

"What are you thinking about?"

Hand shadows flashed in front of her eyes, Shui Rong came back to her senses, and quickly explained: "It's nothing, it's nothing."

Cui Hengyue didn't delve into it, but reminded her: "You have seen the hidden guards in the mansion, you should not underestimate them, follow me closely, don't be distracted."

Shui Rong's expression froze: "Yes."

The two moved forward again, climbed over the courtyard wall and entered the fourth room.

"You go to the east, I go to the west, no matter whether you succeed or not, we will meet here after a stick of incense."

After Cui Hengyue gave her orders, she and Shui Rong acted separately.

After what happened that year, Sifang also experienced a great turmoil. Many servants died, and those who left the mansion left the mansion. Only Cui Yonglin and one or two people around Tian Han remained.

The first thing Cui Hengyue thought of was Yuyi and Mrs. Lu beside Tian Han. After all, they are women and people from the back house, so it should be easier to start.

Cui Hengyue thinks she can handle the two women who live in the back house.

Relying on memory, Cui Hengyue quietly went to Tian Han's room. She first hid under the window and listened to the movement inside. After confirming that the people inside were fast asleep, she opened the window and jumped in.

"Da Lang."

The person on the bed babbled in sleep, so frightened that Cui Hengyue stopped immediately, not daring to move.

She looked at the bed and saw that Tian Han just turned over, she was relieved immediately.

After waiting for a while, the person on the bed did not make any more movement, and then Cui Hengyue quietly moved towards the outer room.

As she expected, someone was on duty at night, and this person was Yuyi.

Lady Lu is a strong woman with great strength. Although she is not Cui Hengyue's opponent, she is most afraid of accidents and attracting outside guards.

Yuyi is different, thin and thin, a little younger than Tian Han, and also very timid, maybe Yuyi fainted from fright before she made a move.

Cui Hengyue laughed silently when she thought of this.

She stepped lightly, walked to Yuyi's side, raised her hand and knocked Yuyi unconscious.

Afterwards, Cui Hengyue picked up Yuyi on her back, carefully climbed out from the window of the inner room, and went straight to the meeting place.

However, just as she was about to reach the meeting point, a man in gray suddenly appeared and blocked her way.

"who are you?"

Cui Hengyue didn't answer, and shot directly.

The man in gray dodges swiftly, and goes around behind Cui Hengyue to grab Yuyi, but Cui Hengyue dodges her.

The two immediately fell into a fierce battle.

Cui Hengyue didn't dare to let go of Yuyi, she was afraid that if she put down Yuyi, the man in gray would snatch her away.

But with someone behind her back, she couldn't use it, and soon fell into a disadvantage.

Why isn't Shui Rong here yet?
Cui Hengyue was so anxious that she was sweating profusely, and when she was distracted, the man in gray grabbed the opening, struck with both fists, and Cui Hengyue flew out.

"Oh!"

Yuyi slammed into the tree hard and woke up from the pain: "Ah, it hurts so much, who is pressing me down."

Cui Hengyue knocked her unconscious again, and was about to take her away when there was a rush of footsteps.

"There are people over there, go and have a look."

It was Bai Xinyuan's voice.

Cui Hengyue looked at the man in gray, but saw him swiftly passing through the corridor and disappearing around the corner.

The footsteps were getting closer, Cui Hengyue made a decisive decision, left Yuyi behind, and left.

"Yuan Niang—"

Shui Rong ran towards her.

Cui Hengyue didn't have time to say more, so she pulled her up and ran away
