After Gao married the prince, the sick and weak concubine lost her horse

Sun Zhijing frowned slightly, and said in a tone that could not hear joy or anger: "Is it possible for a weak girl to escape from the Sun's residence under your nose?"

The black shadow bowed and said, "This subordinate is guilty! But..."

"Not to mention that the outer courtyard is heavily guarded, even the outside of the mansion is full of our spies. She will definitely not be able to escape the Sun's mansion, but what the subordinates are worried about is that she has gone to a place she shouldn't be... If she sees it, she shouldn't look at it. of……"

Sun Zhijing's eyes turned cold.

He stroked his cuffs, calmly, and wrote lightly: "If she really sees something she shouldn't see, Lin Yu should go to the Nether Valley in time."

The black shadow hesitated: "What does the master mean?"

Sun Zhijing seemed to think that this subordinate was very stupid, he rolled his eyes at him, and said impatiently: "There is no use value, what are you keeping?"

After speaking, he turned around and left without looking at the two behind him.

The black shadow received the order, turned over and went up to the courtyard wall, and went from courtyard to courtyard to search for Shen Qingci's whereabouts.

The remaining Yu Shi, who was still in shock, was even more frightened by this sentence and his legs went limp.

You know, "Zhou Shi" is Lin Yu's wife anyway.

Lin Yu was not only from a noble family, but also had an official position. With the status of "Zhou Shi", Sun Zhijing could kill him at will, let alone someone like her.

Especially the phrase "things of no value" made Yu seem to see his end.

She didn't know how she stumbled out of the garden, let alone that after she left, Shen Qingci also climbed over the wall and went directly to the Huxin Pavilion.

Shen Qingci originally wanted to withdraw, but what she just heard made her hesitate.

Not to mention that she doesn't know how the guards outside the Sun Mansion are, she can't leave rashly.

The "things you shouldn't see" that the man in black said had already whetted her appetite.

What is the secret of the Sun Mansion that Sun Zhijing tried every means to hide it?

Intuition told Shen Qingci that this might have something to do with Sun Zhiyue's death.

Anyway, Sun Zhijing had already made a killing intent on her. If he could act for a while, he would delay for a while.

She climbed over the ridge of the roof a few times, and while there was no one around, she landed on the courtyard wall closest to the Huxin Pavilion.

Biyu was already waiting there with her cloak in her arms.

Seeing that she hadn't come over for a long time, he was going to look for her, and happened to bump into Shen Qingci.

"Miss Zhou, why did you come here? The slaves are going to look for you."

Just as Shen Qingci was about to respond, he suddenly felt a branch not far behind him swaying slightly.

The shadow responsible for following her has arrived.

Shen Qingci sighed as if nothing had happened: "When you walked forward, I realized that I didn't know the way, so I chased after you. I never wanted to see you disappear through the small bamboo forest. It's so dangerous that you took me with you that day. Those who have been to the garden over there, I wandered around from there, and finally came across."

She pointed to the garden where the Sun Mansion had a banquet that day.

There should be no secrets there, and just like the garden where she overheard Sun Zhijing and Yu's secrets before, there are no servants to clean it today.

On the surface, she explained it to Biyu, but she actually explained it to that black shadow.

Since she didn't go to that "shouldn't go place" and didn't see "shouldn't see" of course, there's no need to kill her immediately, after all, one more thing is worse than one less thing.

The black shadow couldn't make up his mind, so he would definitely go back to Sun Zhijing to make a decision.

Sure enough, the aura soon disappeared.

Shen Qingci casually glanced at the place where he hid just now, it was still shaking, but the person hiding behind had disappeared.

Biyu naturally didn't know Shen Qingci's thoughts, she put on a big cloak for Shen Qingci, and said: "It's the negligence of this servant, if I knew it earlier, this servant should turn around and look for Mrs. Zhou."

Because of Shen Qingci's righteousness to save the siege before, Biyu treated her with a lot of sincerity.

Shen Qingci smiled faintly: "It's okay, I don't blame you."

There was no one in Huxinting.

Although it is early spring, the weather is still a bit cold. Coupled with the torrential rain for several days, even the surrounding air seems to be wrapped in moisture and coolness.

Shen Qingci took Biyu and walked across the covered bridge.

The wind pouring in from all directions made people tremble.

Shen Qingci was wearing a big fashion, but he didn't feel too cold.

Sit down on the stone bench in the pavilion, and you can see the whole lake pavilion at a glance.

Shen Qingci sat where Sun Zhijing sat that day, and turned around to look at the place where she came that day.

The willows on the shore have already begun to twitch, and with some evergreen pines and cypresses as cover, it is not easy to see people coming.

In addition, Sun Zhijing and the servant beside him had their backs to her direction, and she and Biyu walked very lightly and slowly when they were guilty of treachery. If they were just ordinary people, it would not be so easy to spot them and turn their heads to look at them. They are.

Shen Qingci asked casually: "Your eldest son has studied martial arts?"

Biyu shook her head: "I was sold into the mansion at the age of eight, and I have never heard of the eldest son practicing martial arts. He has been trained by the master as an heir since he was a child, and he is something to learn in the business field and in the accounting office. If you can’t even learn, how can you find time to practice martial arts?”

Shen Qingci nodded: "Yes."

After making sure that there was no one else around, and speaking at such a distance, even if there were people on the shore, Shen Qingci lowered his voice and asked Biyu: "You said earlier that something was wrong when the fifth girl came back from outside. Do you have any advice?" I heard where she has been before?"

For no reason, why did Sun Zhijing kill Sun Zhiyue?
Shen Qingci guessed that most likely it was Sun Zhiyue who broke some of his secrets.

Hearing this, Biyu's face was as pale as paper.

She shook her head first, hesitated for a long time, then approached Shen Qingci a little bit, lowered her voice and said: "Miss Zhou, to be honest, the fifth girl came back from outside and was bewitched by the evil spirit, she just said it to the outside world, in fact..."

Speaking of this, Biyu faltered for a long time, but refused to continue.

Shen Qingci patted her hand, "Don't worry, I will never spread the word."

"I know it might be embarrassing for you. I'm afraid I'm sorry for your master, so just pretend I didn't ask."

Biyu shook her head, and quickly denied it: "It's not anything else, it's because the servant is worried about Mrs. Zhou."

Shen Qingci was puzzled: "Worried about me?"

Biyu nodded: "That place is a taboo for the people in the house, and it can't be mentioned at all. The servants are afraid that Mrs. Zhou will find out, and accidentally get burned..."

Shen Qingci sighed: "So that's the case, but I'm naturally curious, half of what you said made me unable to sleep."

Seeing Biyu's hesitation, Shen Qingci continued: "You said that place, but Renhetang?"

As soon as the words fell, Biyu's face changed, and she quickly waved her hands: "Miss Zhou, no, no, no, no! No!"

Although she categorically denied it, her expression already showed the answer.

Shen Qingci guessed that it was also Renhetang.

The secret still lies with Sun Huai'an, the Patriarch of the Sun family.

When she met Yu Shi and Sun Zhiyan who were visiting Sun Huai'an on the corridor before, when Sun Huai'an was mentioned, Yu Shi's expression was already abnormal.

If it is true as what you heard in the garden just now, as Yu said, Sun Huaian's "severe illness" was caused by Sun Zhijing.

Now that Sun Zhijing has completely controlled the Sun family, it is said that with his ruthless temperament, there is absolutely no need to keep Sun Huai'an.

In other words, even if Sun Huaian was dead, it would not have much impact on Sun Zhijing's current status in the Sun family and in Miaochuan. Since no news of his death was announced, he should still be alive.

Sun Zhijing was able to poison Sun Huai'an, and he would kill his sister Sun Zhiyue as soon as he said it, but such a person did not take Sun Huai'an's life, and he was imprisoned in the Renhe Hall on the grounds that he was seriously ill.

why?
Shen Qingci raised her hand and tapped on the table, which was her habitual action when she was thinking about problems.

She raised her eyebrows and looked at Biyu, and said in a low voice: "Since I already guessed it, it's okay if you tell me more, and I won't talk to others, let alone get close to that Renhetang, don't worry."

Hearing her reassurance, Biyu felt a little relieved.

She lowered her eyes and said in a very low voice: "It's true that Miss Wu has been bewitched by an evil spirit since she returned from Renhe Hall. That place is very evil, and someone heard screams coming from inside in the middle of the night before... ...But Madam and Eldest Young Master have a ban, the master is recuperating inside, and no one is allowed to disturb him for any reason."

"Even the small courtyards next to Renhe Hall are not allowed to live in. Numaids... Numaids used to be the last girls who served in the madam's yard. One time, sister Chuntao, who was in charge of delivering meals to Renhe Hall, was unwell and called the servants. I went to accompany my wife on an errand, but my wife is obviously so delicate, but she asked her servants to wait from a distance, and went to Renhe Hall with a heavy food box."

"Although we are far away, the servants can vaguely hear the screams inside... No one dared to tell this matter when the servants came back. They planned to rot in their stomachs."

"Miss Zhou, just listen to it, don't inquire about things over there."

Even Biyu, who has never seen anything in the world, can see that Sun Zhiyue's dead colleague and Tang are inseparable, let alone Shen Qingci.

She patted Biyu's hand, "Don't worry, I will never say anything."

After blowing the wind in the pavilion for a while, I became more energetic.

Shen Qingci gathered the cloak on his body: "Let's go back."

Even though she had hinted that the shadow following her hadn't gone where she shouldn't have been, she wasn't quite sure whether Sun Zhijing wanted someone to continue killing her.

Therefore, along the way, she pretended to be a little lack of interest on the surface, but she was actually very vigilant about everything around her.

After leaving the Huxin Pavilion, she felt the aura of that black shadow.

However, that person had no intention of doing anything along the way.

He didn't know if he planned to let her go, or if he wanted to find another opportunity to kill her.

It wasn't until Shen Qingci returned to Jinxiuxuan that the man once again hid himself on the opposite roof, Shen Qingci breathed a sigh of relief.

But before she sat down to think about the countermeasures, she heard Bi Tao report: "Ms. Zhou, Eldest Young Master, please go to the study."

Sun Zhijing's study is located in Yiyuan, and Sheng Tingye has reminded her before that there are many experts there.

Here, she saw that the situation was not right, and she was able to run, if Sun Zhijing wanted to kill her in Yiyuan...

I'm afraid that if I don't die, I will peel off my skin.

But let it go and withdraw?

Knowing that the crux of the problem lies in Renhetang, leaving just like that is obviously not Shen Qingci's style of doing things.

Take a gamble.

She responded, turned around and went into the inner room to change into a plain white skirt and a rabbit fleece jacket, and then went out with Bitao.
