In addition to beauty, she also has a mold

Chapter 28 Deception
Hearing the movement, Liu'er ran in happily: "Girl, you finally woke up."

"Ah."

She responded muffledly, her voice dry and hoarse.

Liu'er hurriedly searched for a new teacup in the cupboard, and rejoiced at the same time: "Fortunately, the girl was not murdered by villains, it's really great!"

Xiao Yu was leaning on the head of the bed, not fully conscious yet, and didn't care what she said.

She just wants to drink saliva.

After serving her the tea, Liu'er said that she was going to report to Young Master, but she temporarily stopped her.

"Girl, the young master misses you in his heart, but the birthday banquet cannot be without him. Therefore, the young master reminded me that as soon as the young lady opens her eyes, let the slaves go over to report."

"I know."

Holding the teacup, she regained consciousness.

"Liu'er, in the mansion...is there anything unusual?"

Liu'er seemed to know what she was thinking, so she replied: "Miss, don't worry, the birthday party is as usual."

As soon as I heard this, I knew it was my brother who taught me.

She waved her hand: "Go."

"Yes."

After Liu'er left, she endured her injuries and dressed neatly. After a brief wash, she went to the courtyard to breathe.

When Chu Zhijiang came, he saw her in a daze at the mess.

Seeing that she was dressed neatly, she couldn't help frowning: "Since you are injured, you should lie down on the bed."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu raised his eyes: "Brother, I only suffered a slight injury to my arm, not a broken arm or leg."

Besides, in the Qinglong Mountain before, the senior brother was extremely strict with her, even if she was injured, she must not be lazy, why did she become pampered after she descended the mountain.

From what he heard, Chu Zhijiang also realized that he was making a fuss out of a molehill.

Xiao Yu smelled heavily of alcohol, so he poured a cup of tea and handed it to him: "For grandfather's birthday banquet, brother really worked hard."

Chu Zhijiang was stunned, he thought his junior sister would ask about the back garden, but he didn't expect her to care about him.

"It's what a senior brother should do." He replied.

He didn't think deeply about it, actually, Xiao Yu's words concealed a layer of deep meaning.

From Liu Er's mouth, I learned that the birthday banquet was still going on smoothly, that is to say, the matter in the back garden was suppressed, and the guests in the front yard didn't know about it.

You know, it wasn't a kitten or a dog that died in the back garden, but a person.

Gao Shuyan died.

Even if she was only a concubine, if she died normally, she would be buried at home, but she died in the back garden of the governor's mansion.

If this matter is publicized, some people will make a big fuss if it is not guaranteed.

Chu Zhijiang observed the chess game and asked, "What is Junior Sister thinking?"

Picking up the Bai Zi that had just fallen, Xiao Yu frowned, and replied, "I was wondering who the murderer was."

Thinking of the injury on Junior Sister, Chu Zhijiang blamed himself. If Liu Er hadn't found out in time, Junior Sister might have...

Secretly clenched his fists and squeezed out a smile.

"Junior Sister, don't worry, the murderer will definitely not escape!"

"Ok?"

Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows, could it be that the senior brother already knew the whereabouts of the murderer?

Twisting the white piece in her hand, he easily broke the mess in front of him, he raised his eyes again, and replied: "The hidden guards of the young master have already started the investigation, presumably there will be results in a few days."

Staring at the mess, Xiao Yu felt mixed feelings.

The senior brother didn't know that she was hurt by Gao Shuyan, so he didn't know the grievances between them, nor her true identity.

What is Zhao Wuling's intention to intervene in this matter?

She forced a smile and said: "That's really great, but when it comes to Young Master, when I was in Jiangning, I didn't know that his status was so noble. Seeing him today really surprised me."

"Yes."

"At that time in Jiangning, he sat at the same table as Master, you and I, behaved elegantly, and spoke extraordinaryly, and Master praised him very much."

He smiled awkwardly: "To be honest, I was not convinced, but what he said at the banquet today really supported my Chu family a lot. Such a young man has such courage I really admire him for his dedication and self-cultivation.”

Senior brother is so lofty and self-reliant, to be able to make him say the word "admiration" in person shows that Zhao Wuling must be a good person.

She echoed, "Today is indeed thanks to him."

But Chu Zhijiang said: "It's also thanks to Junior Sister that you rescued me. That person had some grievances with me, so he deliberately did it at the banquet."

"I see."

She has been wondering why the man made things difficult for senior brother in public. It turned out that he had formed a grudge and intentionally said those words to provoke senior brother, deliberately trying to keep him from stepping down.

"It's nothing, Senior Brother treats me so well, I just relieved Senior Brother's little worries, it's nothing to mention."

"Do not."

Chu Zhijiang looked solemn: "It's not a little worry, there are so many guests today, but if something goes wrong, my Chu family will be confirmed."

Therefore, the matter of the dead in the mansion must not be revealed.

"Brother, I know."

"But Junior Sister, don't be so impulsive again in the future."

He reminded him by ear: "Senior Brother promised Master that he will take good care of you. Before you return to Jiangning, Senior Brother does not want you to have any accidents."

He could see Master's love for his junior sister, so why not him.

When the murderer fled over the wall, he wished he could chase him out immediately, but behind him was the huge Chu family, so he couldn't show any strangeness in front of the guests.

Therefore, it can only be handed over to the dark guard.

Xiao Yu nodded his head, which is considered to be a response.

"It's good to see that you are all right. Don't blow the cold wind here. There are still some guests who haven't been sent. Senior brother has to go to work for a while and come back later. If you are still sitting here..."

She urged helplessly: "I see, senior brother should hurry up, I'll go back to my room later."

"it is good."

Chu Zhijiang stood up in satisfaction, but when he was about to leave, Xiao Yu hesitated and said, "Senior brother, how is she now?"

After getting along with each other for many years, he immediately understood who he was talking about.

"Killed with one sword, there is no possibility of survival."

Xiao Yu pursed his lips, not knowing what it was like.

"Then her husband..."

"It's just a concubine whom Lai Chongxi brought in. He didn't care, and he didn't want to collect her body, so my grandfather ordered someone to bury her."

From the moment Gao Wenliang chose a literati style and abandoned his own flesh and blood, Gao Shuyan's fate was doomed.

After all, ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

Seeing her gloomy expression, a trace of doubt flashed in Chu Zhijiang's heart: "Junior Sister, do you know her?"

She shook her head: "I don't know."

"Today, I went to the back garden to hide for peace. It happened that she also came here to relax. It's a pity that she died like this alone."

Hearing this, Chu Zhijiang put away his doubts, and comforted him: "Junior Sister, don't think too much, once the murderer is apprehended, justice will be given to her."

"Ah."

"Go back to your room early and rest."

"it is good."

Senior brother left, she sat in the courtyard for a while, then got up and went back to her room.

She has concealed too much from her senior brother, and she has too much guilt. Senior brother treats her like a relative, and in this life, she has nothing to repay.

Because of her injury, the matter of sword practice was postponed, except for reading and sleeping, two days passed in a flash.
