Pseudo master, she just wants to live

Chapter 278 Brazier

Ye Feng howled and tore the oiled paper on the window, whirring.

Fang Yao was lying on the hard wooden bed tossing and turning, the events during the day disturbed her sleep, and she finally felt a little sleepy, when suddenly there was the sound of footsteps outside again.

The sound came towards her, accompanied by a low, urgent cry.

"Master! Master Fang!"

Father Gouwa, who was watching the night in the next room, went out, "Master, my master's son is resting right now, you are in the middle of the night..."

"Don't talk nonsense, quickly call your master."

Fang Yao opened the door and looked at the second young master of the Duke's Mansion with disheveled hair on the opposite side expressionlessly, "Second young master, what's the matter with you staying awake in the middle of the night."

The second young master turned pale and said, "Something happened, something serious happened..."

Something went wrong.

A Li, the servant girl of Yiping County Lord, died in a strange manner, her abdomen was swollen like a woman who was pregnant for ten months, her face was blue and purple, her eyes widened in horror, as if she saw something terrible before she died.

The Yiping County Lord's wing was full of people, the County Lord had red eyes, and cried to Fan Chen who came to inquire about this matter: "At Maoshi, I was about to rest, she suddenly opened the door, I looked Seeing that her complexion was wrong and she couldn't even stand upright, she hurriedly helped her to lie down, but after a while, she, she..."

Needless to say, everyone knows what happened.

Fan Chen frowned, "Has your maid eaten anything at night?"

"Ah, I just ate some porridge and side dishes from the station, and we all ate it..."

The county magistrate of Yiping said, his eyes widened suddenly and he said, "Ah, I told her to throw it away..."

"What was lost? But what was the food?"

The Yiping county magistrate turned pale, shook his head and said, "No, it's nothing."

This obvious concealment made Fan Chen unhappy, and he wanted to ask again, but the head of the Golden Pavilion stopped him, "The county lord was frightened, Master Fan should not ask any more questions, she is just a maid anyway, What are you doing to make such a big fuss?"

Fan Chen pursed his lips and said nothing.

The chief of the Golden Pavilion is a member of the national teacher, everyone can see that the national teacher obviously does not want to make a fuss at this time, and dare not say anything more.

Everyone echoed a few words casually, and rushed to leave.

Although the matter ended without a problem, the impact did not end.

The entire inn was disturbed, and Fang Yao was no longer the only one who didn't want to sleep at night.

Early in the morning, it was still dark.

Fang Yao's team left the post station, and there were already several carriages parked on the official road outside.

There was a thin layer of white snow outside the carriage, apparently waiting outside early in the morning.

Fang Yao opened the curtain, and the cold wind rolled the cold and hard snow particles whistling, hitting her face with pain.

She squinted her eyes and looked out, through the dim light of the lantern, she found that as soon as their convoy left, the carriages followed.

A lot of people came out of the gate of the post station not far behind. One of them looked up and walked a few steps quickly, then stopped abruptly.

Fang Yao looked at that person, sighed inwardly, lowered the curtain again, and closed the window.

She sat cross-legged in the carriage, and there were three braziers in the carriage, all of which were placed under several bed boards and blocked with something.

Each pot was burning very vigorously. Once the doors and windows of the carriage were closed, only a few ventilation holes were left. The space in the carriage was not large, and it became warm in a short while. From the perspective of body feeling, it was estimated that it could reach [-] degrees.

Rhubarb was so comfortable that he curled up beside the bed, squinted his eyes, and wagged his tail lazily.

But soon, the tail behind it paused, and its ears stood up the same as yesterday, and then, a low growl that was similar to when it was threatened was released from its throat.

Fang Yao slowly ran along the fur on its back, as if being comforted by her, Rhubarb lay back on its stomach again.

Second Young Master's voice sounded outside.

"Master, my third sister and I are here."

"Ah."

"It was agreed last night, the three of us will ride in a carriage, shall we?"

Fang Yao responded lightly again.

It is estimated that the strange death of the servant girl A Li made the second young master frightened, so he found Fang Yao himself, and he had to follow her side for the rest of the journey, refusing to leave half a step.

With her consent, the second young master heaved a sigh of relief, opened the curtain of the car first and got in, couldn't help but surprise and said: "Ah, it's so warm in your carriage."

Fang Yao just smiled and said nothing.

"Third sister, your hands are frighteningly cold, just come in to warm them up."

The second young master turned around to pull Yiping county master, as soon as the latter came in, Rhubarb immediately jumped up and barked a few times, scaring the second young master to straighten up and hit his head.

"Damn beast, I hit..."

He cursed angrily, suddenly remembered something, and endured it.

"Second young master, don't be surprised, my dog ​​is afraid of life."

Fang Yao exerted a little force on Da Huang's shoulder bone with her small hand, and although Da Huang was still grinning, she really retreated to her feet again and lay down slowly.

Although the second young master had a bad face, he didn't say anything, and called his third sister to sit on the other side of the car.

The carriage creaked again, and Fang Yao took the lead with folded arms, leaned back, and dozed off with her eyes closed.

The second young master originally wanted to take the opportunity to get close to her, but when he saw this, he kept his mouth shut. After a while, he tilted his head and fell asleep in the corner of the carriage.

Fang Yao smelled the familiar light fragrance from the tip of her nose, which was the smell from the incense burner.

It's also... the fragrance that I smelled on the national teacher that day.

There is a shallow slit in her squinted eyes, which are covered by thick black eyelashes, so she is not afraid of being discovered.

Fang Yao's eyeballs turned slightly towards the direction where the Yiping County Lord was sitting, and her heart skipped a beat.

She could always feel that the county lord was looking at her, but she didn't expect the other side to look at her so grandly.

Especially those big pupils, with a faint gray inside.

Fang Yao frowned, thinking that she might as well restrain the county lord of Yiping as soon as possible, and force her to question her, but thinking of her speculation that she had been pondering all night, she still endured it.

In the carriage, except for the long and short snoring of the second young master and the creaking of the charcoal fire, the whole journey was very quiet.

During the pause to rest, Fang Yao took out the chicken drumsticks, dried mutton and white flour steamed buns prepared by Gouwaniang and the others, and ate them with salty pickles when they were hot.

The second young master, who was awakened by the scent with his mouth open, looked hungry.

"Second Young Master, the county lord, can you eat some too?"

Fang Yao asked not very sincerely.

"Ah, thank you Master."

The second young master didn't notice Fang Yao's perfunctory politeness, so he picked up the contents of the oil paper bag very bluntly, and started to eat.

However, the county magistrate of Yiping shook his head, and said with a grim expression: "Ah Li is gone, I can't eat."

The second young master also remembered what happened last night, his appetite was greatly reduced, and he was worried that he would also eat something unclean. He suddenly became worried and frightened, silently put down the half-bitten chicken leg in his hand, and said melancholy: "I can't eat it either. .”

Fang Yao raised her eyebrows, this is the best way, so under the drooling eyes of the second young master, she shared the food with Yang Gao and the others.

The motorcade outside is getting longer and longer, and it is getting closer and closer to Tianqi Mountain.

It was already quite hot in the compartment where the three braziers had been burning for a whole day.

The second young master and Fang Yao both opened up the thickest coat outside, the former looked at the Yiping county magistrate who was still sitting still, and said curiously: "Sister, you take off the outer cloak because you are so hot. It looks like your ears are so red that they are about to bleed."

The county magistrate of Yiping was puzzled at first, then his gray eyes widened, and he got up abruptly and pushed open the lattice door.
