Chapter 89

Seeing that she was obedient, Mrs Liu felt a little at ease, but she was afraid that she would go against the grain, so she said to Mammy Du:

"My daughter is naughty, and I have to work hard and keep an eye on her."

The eldest princess was thoughtful and had a panoramic view of the expressions of the mother and daughter.

Madam Du smiled and agreed, and asked Yao Shouning to go out with her through the side door.

Yao Shouning breathed a sigh of relief when she thought that she didn't have to go out through the main entrance. She still had many questions in her heart, but unfortunately she didn't dare to ask rashly, for fear of causing suspicion from the general's mansion and revealing her secret. .

Madam Du talked to her as she walked, Yao Shouning was still a little wary at first, and wondered if the reminder from him and Lu Zhi that day made the people in the general's mansion deliberately test him.

But later, when I saw that Mammy Du asked about trivial matters in the family, I felt that there was nothing to hide, so I answered them one by one.

"I heard that there are three brothers and sisters in the Yao family?"

Yao Shouning nodded, and Mammy Du said with a smile:
"The eldest son is studying at Gu's Academy. The eldest miss is happy and doesn't have much time to go out. I think that Miss Yao has a cheerful personality. She should be very boring at home on weekdays, right?"

The Yao family was involved in the case, and the people in the General's Mansion naturally knew the situation of the Yao family very clearly.

The 'eldest miss Xijing' in the middle of Du Ma's words refers to a very euphemistic saying that Yao Wanning was ill.

"Now that Miss Su comes, I can be your company."

Su Miaozhen was not here, and Yao Shouning could hardly hide his dislike for her.

However, there is no need to tell outsiders about the grievances between cousins, so he immediately said:
"It won't be boring, and I usually read books and the like. My eldest brother often buys some for me. Occasionally, my mother will allow me to go out, go shopping and play, and visit friends."

She was still young, and although she thought it was a good cover, just avoiding mentioning 'Su Miaozhen' was enough to make Mammy Du realize the rift between her and Su Miaozhen.

"That's true."

Madam Du's eyes flashed and she nodded:
"The eldest princess likes you very much, and maybe she will often invite you to come to the mansion to play."

Yao Shouning felt that what she said was just polite words.

Mammy Du smiled and saw that she clearly didn't believe it, but she nodded obediently, then looked up, stretched out her finger and said:

"arrive."

Looking in the direction of her finger, Yao Shouning saw a lake in the distance.

The lake was clean, and on the other side of the lake, there was a hidden garden opposite the covered bridge where the two stood.

The gate of the garden is in the shape of a round arch, and you can vaguely see the scenery in the garden from the inside of the gate.

"Let's sit in the garden for a while. Later, when the eldest princess and Mrs. Yao have finished talking, they will come together and tell you something."

At this time, Yao Shouning's mind was no longer on the conversation with Mammy Du, because in her eyes, the courtyard in the distance was dark, slowly rising from the sky, making her scalp tingle.

Her eyelids, which were already twitching non-stop, now twitched even more quickly.

Judging from Mamma Du's words and demeanor, she didn't bring her here for no reason, I'm afraid she was ordered by the eldest princess.

"What did the eldest princess talk about with my mother?"

She held back her heart palpitations and asked.

"Last night, I found the body of the groom who was driving for Miss Su. The princess guessed that Mrs. Yao must have many questions in her heart."

Madam Du replied with a smile.

It means that the eldest princess invited Mrs. Liu over today, and in addition to having something to say, she is also willing to answer Mr. Liu's confusion.

But the Yao family is clearly the one who owes favor, and the eldest princess has a noble status. Why is she so condescending?Could it be that there is something else you can't ask for?
Yao Shouning felt alarm bells in his heart, his back was numb, and he asked again:
"I want to ask Mammy, where is that place?"

Madam Du turned her head to look at her, seeing her lips pursed tightly, her little face seemed to have lost its blood, and she couldn't hide the fear in her eyes.

Judging from her demeanor, she might have guessed who lived in the garden.

But why is she afraid?
Madam Du had doubts in her heart, but she still answered:
"It is the residence of the prince."

really!It was indeed the place where Lu Zhi lived!She knew that Lu Zhi had fallen for evil.

After Zhang Qiao died that day, the black gas that came out of his body penetrated into his body. Anyone who was injured by the snake demon and fell asleep, I am afraid it is fake.

Judging from the current situation, above the garden where he lived, black smoke was rising to the sky, shrouded in the sky above the garden, forming a dark cloud cover, which looked extremely dangerous.

Yao Shouning felt remorse and wanted to retreat, but there seemed to be another voice blocking her, as if there was another mystery inside.

"Why did you bring me here?"

She bit her head and asked, and Mammy Du replied with a smile:
"The calligraphy and paintings you sent that day are just here now."

Yao Shouning looked up at her, but saw that her eyes were dim and meant something. I wonder if the secret of calligraphy and painting had been discovered by them.

But for the sake of saying this, Yao Shouning hesitated again and again, so he had to endure the uneasiness in his heart, and reached out to hold Mummy Du's hand:

"Mom, I'm a little scared."

Her voice was soft and thin, and she firmly grasped Mammy Du's hand in the palm of her hand.

This action made Madam Du froze for a moment.

She is the eldest princess' close follower, and she fought with the eldest princess. She has seen heroic female soldiers, and she has also seen brutal and cunning spirits. In the general's mansion, she is quite prestige.

The servants and maids all feared or respected her, and few people dared to act like a spoiled child and get close to her.

The hand held in the palm of his hand was as soft as bone and delicate as congealed fat. The little girl who was only fifteen or sixteen timidly said that she was afraid. She held her hand tightly.

"Don't be afraid."

Mammy Du's eyes softened, and there was a bit of sincerity in her demeanor:

"This is the residence of the prince, and a large amount of fine armor is secretly guarded."

She said half-jokingly:
"Even if the monster becomes a spirit, it is not easy to break in."

Mammy Du originally looked a little stern, and she often followed the princess' side, looking very dignified.

This time, the tone has been softened to coax people, and it seems very believable.

At least Yao Shouning believed it, she lifted her skirt:

"Mammy, don't lie to me, I'm an honest person."

"...I won't lie."

The corners of Du Ma's mouth twitched slightly, but she was very sure:
"You come with me. If there is danger, I will protect you first."

Yao Shouning nodded, then crossed the bridge with her and walked towards the garden.

As I got closer, I saw that in the garden, there were actually a lot of bamboos planted along the walls, but for some reason, those bamboo forests had been cut down and destroyed, and the incisions were pointing straight to the sky, a bit sharp, like one after another rising into the sky. bamboo sword.

"This……"

The two held hands and entered the garden gate. Madam Du saw her puzzled face and took the initiative to explain:

"There was a snake in the house a few days ago. The eldest princess thought that the bamboo forest was too humid, and she was afraid that it was the main reason for the snakes, so she had the bamboo chopped down, and she was going to find another plant to plant."

While she was speaking, Yao Shouning heard a 'hissing' sound in her ears.

The voice came from above his head, almost as if to drown out Mummy Du's voice.

With a growing sense of unease, she blurted out:

"careful!"

As soon as the voice fell, on the garden gate above the head, a pitch-black snake head about the thickness of a wrist emerged from the top of the head and wrapped around the two of them from top to bottom like lightning.

And Madam Du was turning her head to talk to Yao Shouning, as if she didn't notice it.

The snake's head was the size of a fist, in the shape of an inverted triangle, with its mouth open and spitting out letters, it looked hideous, and it was highly poisonous at first glance.

Madam Du was talking, but when she saw this scene, her eyes sank. Leng might as well raise her left hand and catch the black snake with lightning speed.
