Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 353 Exciting!

what!
Hearing the alarm sent by the system, Wen Shu was startled and looked around.

She was in a miniature version of the alley right now, except for the corner when she came in, there were walls on three sides, and it was impossible to get out.

And the 'alley' is empty, there is no place to hide at all.

Hearing the sound of footsteps in front of his ears, Wen Shu stomped his feet anxiously, after much deliberation, there was only one way.

A few seconds later, two figures turned around the corner, they were Mrs. Zhao and the maid.Seeing that the alley was empty, Mrs. Zhao frowned and looked at the maid next to her.

"Did you see that person coming this way with your own eyes?"

"Yes."

"Are you sure it's not from the family?"

"No, she's not wearing the clothes of the mansion, she should be a foreign guest, looking at her back, she's still a young lady."

While talking, the two had already walked to the wooden door.Wen Shu, who was hiding behind the wooden door, breathed a little less nervously.

"It shouldn't be." Mrs. Zhao looked at the empty alley, "When we came here, we deliberately walked lightly. If she really came here, there would be no time to hide."

The maid was silent, and murmured: "Either she turned a corner in front of the main hall and didn't come in here."

"Didn't you say that you saw her enter here with your own eyes?" Mrs. Zhao was a little angry.

The maid hurriedly lowered her head and said: "I just watched her and Wang Momo turn this way from a distance, remembering the eldest lady's order not to let outsiders approach this place, so I hurried to tell you, I didn't see her enter this place with my own eyes. Alley."

Mrs. Zhao glanced at her, then walked towards the wooden door.

Sensing that the other party was pacing by the door, Wen Shu's whole heart was raised in his throat.

Don't come in!
Otherwise, given her current situation, she would die if she entered.Behind the door where she was standing, there were no flowers and plants, and there was nowhere to hide even if she wanted to hide.

She probably wouldn't come in, right? Chu Hong didn't mean that Mrs. Zhao's cousin had never visited her in the yard since she entered the mansion.

Then I hope she doesn't come in now.

Just when she was yelling in her heart that people from outside should not come in, so that she could not die, at this moment, the people in the building didn't know why they wanted to come out for a walk.

You said, on such a hot day, there is nothing to do outside.

There is no such thing as blowing the cool breeze in the building and eating an ice bowl.

Hearing the pair of master and servant in the building going down the stairs, Wen Shu felt her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

Those on the outside want to come in, and those on the inside want to go out, and she is caught in the middle. It's true that the left is dead, and the right is dead.

Just when Wen Shu was thinking about what excuse he should find when he was smashed later, so as not to appear so clumsy, Mrs. Zhao outside finally spoke.

"Forget it. Thinking about it, I really turned a corner at the main hall and went elsewhere. Let's go back."

"Then here?"

"Later, you will find two off-duty guards at the flower hall to prevent others from entering by mistake."

"Yes."

Hearing the two people's voices and footsteps fading away, Wen Shu felt like he was pardoned.

At the moment when the people in the building were about to come out, they stepped out of the wooden door.

Because the action was too hasty and the strength was too great, the wooden door trembled twice when it was closed back.

This scene happened to be seen by Wang Momo who had just left the small building.

She immediately frowned and murmured softly, "Why does the gate seem to have moved? Could it be that someone has been here?"

Just after running out, Wen Shu, who was leaning against the door and hadn't left yet, raised his heart again upon hearing this.

Mrs. Zhao and the maid hadn't gone far, so she didn't dare to go out immediately, fearing that the other party was cheating on her, but in fact, she didn't leave at all, and waited for her to throw herself into a trap at the corner.

"Maybe Mrs. Zhao wanted to see me, but she didn't dare?" A woman's voice sneered from inside.

After saying that, she heard her giggle, wanton and insolent.

"Auntie, please keep your voice down. After all, we are dependent on others. It really made the eldest lady angry, but there will be no place to live."

"She dares." The woman raised her voice sharply, then giggled again, "Don't talk about her, just ask that Minister Zhao to see if he dares."

"It's better to be cautious. The news from the official family is still pending. Before that, we still have to rely on the Zhao family."

"Okay, okay, my ears are numb from hearing this. As long as she doesn't come to provoke me, I don't bother to talk to her." After a pause, the woman said lazily: "There is nothing wrong with this garden." It’s so pretty, it’s better to blow the air upstairs.”

You just know!Wen Shu outside the courtyard almost rolled his eyes to the sky.

However, officials?
How could this matter have anything to do with the officials again?

"It's not a problem for the young master to be noisy every day. In my opinion, if you don't take him to meet the old couple, after all, he has helped raise him for so many years." The voice of Wang Momo sounded again inside.

"Stop it quickly." The woman said angrily, "I'm his own mother. It's inevitable to break up and cry at the beginning. Isn't it better these two days? Isn't the day busy for nothing?"

Nanny Wang sighed and didn't say any more.

The master and servant stepped on the stairs again and went up with a patter.

Wen Shu waited quietly for a while, but didn't hear the two talking again.Remembering that when Mrs. Zhao left just now, she said that she would send someone to guard the entrance later, she didn't want to wait any longer.

After using remote scanning to confirm that there was no one around the corner, Wen Shu quickly left the alley.After turning to Zhengtang Flower Hall, I followed the path to the shade of a tree not far away.

She thought, if someone really asked later, she would say that the weather was too hot, and she hid in the shade of a tree for a while to cool off.

Because the sound extraction time limit has not yet expired, she can still hear the sound within a 500-meter radius.

When she was hiding behind the door just now, she not only heard the movement in the building, the voice of Mrs. Zhao outside the door, but also the chattering of the little ladies under the flower stand.

It's just that at that time, she mainly concentrated on listening to the voices in the building and Mrs. Zhao's words outside the courtyard, and took the initiative to eliminate all these "interfering information".

Sitting under the shade of the tree at this time, the tension was relieved, and these voices became more and more clear.

She heard someone asking about her, the voice was a little strange, and she didn't know who it was.But she could recognize the voice of the person who answered, because she had just spoken not long ago.

It was Deng Ying.

Fortunately, inquiring is not a private matter, but to inquire about what she likes.

Wen Shu couldn't help wondering, did that person think that Deng Ying knew her very well?He even asked her about her preferences.

She originally thought that Deng Ying would say she didn't know, or clarify that she didn't know her well.Unexpectedly, the other party agreed without hesitation, and said that she likes to read casual books, especially chatting with notes.

After hearing this, the interrogator asked her if she had any other hobbies.Only then did Deng Ying say that she had known her not long ago and only knew this.

The person who asked the question thanked him and said nothing else.

At this time, there was movement in the flower hall. The maid who had been here before really brought two people to guard not far from the corner.In order to deceive others, they each held a tea tray with some pastries on it.

At first glance, it is just an ordinary duty, convenient for guests.

Only Wen Shu knew the true meaning of their presence here.

However, Zhao Fu's protective and defensive attitude added to Wen Shu's doubts.

Why is the Zhao family so afraid of outsiders knowing about this outer room?

Could it be because of Zhao Shilang's clear reputation.

Hmm. Probably not.

Because if you really want to protect your reputation, wouldn't it be better not to let the outsiders in from the beginning, isn't it tiring to cover up like this now?
Also, Mrs. Zhao's attitude is also strange.

She is a wife in the main room, what is she so afraid of an outside room?
Moreover, from what the woman in the courtyard said earlier, it seemed that not only Mrs. Zhao did not dare to provoke her, but even Zhao Shilang wanted to give her three points.

This is not the confidence and attitude that an outsider should have.

It would be unreasonable to say that he returned to the family for Shunzi, an 'illegitimate child'.There are many ways for a big family to recognize the blood, and it is not necessary to bring the outsider into the house.

So this reason is not valid.Moreover, they also mentioned officials in their previous discourse.

What does this have to do with officials?

Just when Wen Shu was puzzled and the system's voice extraction time was about to reach the end, the master and servant in the yard spoke again.

What he said made Wen Shu's mind buzzing.
