The oath of rebirth not to be a concubine

Chapter 7 Assassination
With a bang, the masked man in black, who was trying his best to dress up, jumped out of the window, and then clanked... Twice, and two more arrows pierced the bed. It is the key position.

There was no room for hesitation at the critical moment, I quickly left the bed, put the porcelain vase and tea set by the bed on the ground, and at the same time picked up the small crossbow placed by the bed.He didn't care about tying it to his arm, and pulled the ring of the control mechanism hard.

After all, the small crossbow was only the size of a palm, and the pulling force was too great, directly breaking the ring and the silk thread. Fortunately, this thing is very sensitive, and the mechanism was activated when the thread was broken.

Swish, swish, three powerful arrows shot straight out.

The man dressed in black reacted extremely quickly, turned back on the spot, and easily dodged the three arrows.But he didn't expect that there were three arrows following him, he managed to dodge two of them in a hurry, and the other pierced his calf with a puff.

I heard him grunt, his body retreated a few steps uncontrollably, and there was a faint smell of blood in the room.

I know the strength of the crossbow. It can pierce a thick tree trunk 50 meters away, not to mention a flesh and blood body. Even if his leg bones are not broken, he may be injured.

"Miss, what are you doing?" At this time, Lu Zhu heard the sound and came to the window, saw the situation in the room through the moonlight, screamed in fright, and shouted, "Ah! Come quickly, there are assassins." , there are assassins!"

In the dead of night, this voice echoed around the general's mansion, the man in black was startled, jumped out of the window like a flying fish, climbed onto the roof in two steps, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

After all, this is my backyard, and no one would come here with a loud voice on weekdays, although it is different now, but by the time a group of people arrived, the assassin would have gone miles away.

The housekeeper was very serious, and sent someone to re-check the inside and outside of the courtyard, clean up the blood and debris in the house, and asked Luzhu to ask about the situation.

During this period, the maidservant who was the mistress of the house also came, saying that the mistress suffered from a headache at night and could not see the wind, so she sent her to see me.

In the middle of the night, I was not injured. After the housekeeper gave me a lot of comfort, he left a few servants to guard me. One of them had a knife on his waist, and he seemed to be Lianjiazi.

Lu Zhu blamed herself very much, and kept saying that the accident happened because she didn't guard the door, and she insisted on keeping vigil by the bed, but she couldn't hold her back, so she let her go.

Everyone dispersed, and the small courtyard returned to calm. I lay in the newly changed brocade quilt, but I still couldn't fall asleep.

The person who came here attacked fiercely, clearly wanting my life, if it wasn't for the small crossbow beside me, I would probably have entered the realm of hell again at this time.

Although he was bullied on weekdays, he had never been murdered.

I live in a small courtyard, and I don't have any enemies. The only possibility of getting into trouble is that I am too sharp today, and I get in the way of people's eyes.

The moonlight penetrated through the window, and the ground was cold.

I got up and sat up, wrapped my small body in the quilt, and leaned against the end of the bed.

If anyone was offended, the third lady should have made me very angry today. I clearly remember the burning look in her eyes when Su Huo carried me out.

However, the person who wants to kill me today should not be her.Everyone in the mansion knows that I offended her. If something happens to me, she will be the first to escape suspicion. She is not so stupid.

Could it be that she is the head of the house?

I have lived in a broken courtyard for many years, and even the maids in the mansion dared to come and make things difficult for me, so she naturally turned a blind eye.

Now that I have taken the limelight, I will go to Qinglan Pavilion in a few days to learn literature and martial arts with her daughter, so she will not be happy.

but……

As the mistress of the house, she is naturally responsible for allowing me to be lonely for so many years.

Today, the old general didn't say a word about what happened before, so she was smart enough to make amends quickly. If something happened to me on this wave, she would naturally be responsible for a lot.

She should, and she wouldn't be in such a hurry to do something to me.

Who is it that wants to kill me?

Suddenly, I thought about it and asked Lu Zhu, "Did something happen in the backyard after I walked all afternoon?"

The girl Luzhu was sitting with her eyes wide open, listening to my question, she immediately replied, "Miss, this afternoon in the backyard, I have been busy decorating our yard, and nothing else happened."

I asked again, "There is no dragon fish at the second lady's side, so there is no movement?"

Luzhu said, "Miss, this servant has really paid attention to it. The second lady did not respond at all. In the evening, she even rewarded Fang Fang from the kitchen with half a tael of silver, saying that the sweet sugar water was delicious."

No, this is absolutely wrong!
The second wife is tricky, even worse than the third wife.

Yesterday, the servant took the wrong soup, and she was so angry that she was made to kneel down. The dragon fish she liked was gone, and she drank the sugar water quietly, which was not like her style.

Let me think about it...

Su Qingyue plotted against Su Qingliu, and she had a ghost in her heart when she went back, so she must tell her aunt about it.After Suhe told the second wife about the fish bone, I guess, the suspicion of her own daughter was probably brought to light.

Although the two wives also communicate with each other on weekdays, they also dislike each other secretly.With the suspicious personality of the second wife, although she is not sure that Yu was killed by the third wife, she must also hold a grudge.

With her mind, she naturally knows that if something happens to me, the third lady will be the first to be suspected.

Therefore, she did not move in the afternoon.

Therefore, she is likely to resort to a trick to frame the blame, kill me and put the blame on the third wife.

The person most likely to want to kill me in this courtyard is the second lady!
Thinking of this, a mouthful of anger rose in his chest.

If I guessed right, then I was really careless. I was just a tricky master when I was the second wife, but now I see that she is quite scheming.

The water in this General's Mansion is deep enough.

"Miss, are you asleep?"

Seeing that I was silent for a long time, Luzhu lowered her voice and asked softly.I replied lazily, so I didn't make a sound. She waited for a while, and then opened the door lightly. From the sound, she should be sitting at the door and guarding.

I stayed for a while, then turned to lie down, saw the small crossbow next to the pillow, and couldn't help holding it in my hand.

Thanks to having it today, it's a pity that the rope ring of the mechanism was pulled and damaged. This thing is so delicate and small, I naturally don't know how to repair it, and I'm afraid it will be scrapped.

With a dark sigh, he stuffed the crossbow under the pillow, and closed his eyes in a deep breath.

There is no evidence, I still don't know who wants to kill me, so let's wait and see.

I was also tired, and fell into a deep sleep, not waking up until the next afternoon.

When she woke up, Luzhu and two maidservants were already waiting beside her, serving water for washing.

The wind, rain and dew that Ji Yun often gave me yesterday really had a miraculous effect. When I got up, the wounds on my body had scabbed, and a few shallow wounds had healed, so I asked my mother-in-law to prepare hot water and take a comfortable flower bath.

Almost as soon as it was washed, the mistress asked someone to deliver a few boxes.Inside were some hairpin bracelets, and two sets of satin shirts of high-quality fabrics. Someone sent a special message that the mistress rushed to prepare them for me for the evening family banquet.

Luzhu thanked him for me, and after sending him away, she picked up a suit of brocade clothes and felt it left and right, almost crying.

After so many years with me, it was the first time for her to touch such a good dress. Who would have thought that the down-and-out lady of yesterday could wear brocade clothes again today.

Feeling a little uncomfortable, I walked over, took out two carved bracelets from the box, and put them in her hand, "Green Pearl, this is for you."

Luzhu hurriedly put the bracelet back into my hand, and said anxiously, "No, no, this servant can't take it. This is what the lady gave to the lady, and it's what the lady should have. The servant can't take it. The servant just needs to look at the lady. She is already very happy, and the nanny will be very happy if she is alive in the sky. Miss is so good now, so good..."

As she spoke, her eyes turned red and she burst into tears.I sighed softly, and asked her again, "Don't you think your lady has been acting strange since she woke up?"

"It's not surprising!" Lu Zhu shook her head resolutely, "Miss should be like this, and this should be my lady's appearance!"

She didn't sleep last night, there are deep black marks under her eyes, the face that was slapped the day before yesterday has not subsided, and there are teardrops hanging on her small face, she is really stubborn.

I was suddenly very moved, this little girl is really stubborn and makes people feel distressed.

"Miss, let me comb your hair." Lu Zhu wiped away her tears, and combed out one corner.

I nodded, I don't want to worry about whether she wants the bracelet or not, the future will be long, don't be in a hurry.

Drying my long hair, sitting in front of the bronze mirror, this is the first time I see my own face.

This is a very thin face, with straight eyebrows and eyes, but it has a childish expression, no matter how you look at it, it is just a child.

That's right, this body is only nine years old, so it's not just a child.

With a secret sigh, I slightly closed my eyes, and let the green beads toss on top of my head.

Because of lack of nutrition all year round, my neck is very thin, and my hair is also yellow and sparse, and any hairpins don’t look good.

There was no other way, so Luzhu let most of her hair loose, and only tied a flower bud loosely behind her head. She found a silver-bottomed magnolia flower hairpin with a diagonal belt, dusted some powder on it, and put on a brocade dress. Turning around, it can be regarded as delicate.

Cleaned up neatly, it was almost evening, I simply ate a few pieces of cakes, and the mistress sent someone over to lead me all the way to the front hall, to the family banquet in the general's mansion.
