Zheshu

Chapter 9

Zi Yuan woke up from the cold, and when she woke up, she saw a raging fire in front of her eyes, and she was soaking naked in the stinky water tank behind the house.

"what--!"

She screamed, and the nun in charge thought it was coming from the house when she heard the sound, and looked at the crowd sneeringly: "You all remember clearly, our Su Mu Gongfu is no better than those pheasant gates outside. , whoever breaks our rules will fall into the fire, and no one will dare to save it."

The maids and women next to her all lowered their heads, Shen Qing had already turned out of the window, waiting for an opportunity behind the water tank, but this woman had a loud voice, so she heard clearly.

After Ziyuan finally calmed down, when she turned her head, she saw Shen Qing who was squinting her eyes and looking ahead. Before she could react, she was frightened and hurriedly covered her chest, which was only wearing a bellyband, and shouted loudly: "What are you doing? what!"

Shen Qing glanced at her indifferently, and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Of course I'm saving you."

Shen Qing's eyes were only bent, and Ziyuan looked at the cunning in her eyes that could not be concealed, her brows twitched: "I won't help you..."

"As long as you do me a little favor." The corners of Shen Qing's mouth slightly curled up, thinking that she would kill her just like that, which was a little worse.

When the house was almost completely burnt down, the woman in charge turned her head and went outside, slapped her thighs and shouted: "Hey, why did you come here? Hurry up and put out the fire, the princess is still inside. If she dies like this in the Qiucaoyuan, Our lord has committed a serious crime..."

The boys waiting outside rushed in one after another, but when they entered the courtyard, they were stunned and hurriedly covered their eyes with their hands and peeked through their fingers.

"Whatever you look at, everyone has corns in their eyes!" Zi Yuan cursed fiercely while wrapping in the coat Shen Qing gave her.

The woman in charge rushed in when she heard the sound, and when she saw Ziyuan intact, her face darkened immediately: "Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to serve the princess in the house?"

Zi Yuan was a little timid looking at this woman, but remembering Shen Qing's words, she hurriedly smiled and said: "Isn't this servant serving the princess, the princess said that she was very hungry at night, so we looked for wild fruits in the backyard, who would have thought that the princess would stumble I fell unconscious, and my servants accidentally fell into the water... When I woke up again, I saw that the house was burned." She said while feeling sad, and hurriedly said: "Hurry up, go and see the princess, she Still dizzy."

When the woman in charge heard this, she quickly sent someone to check, and then stared at Zi Yuan suspiciously: "There is no one in the room?"

"Who? Who?" Ziyuan looked puzzled. She really didn't know who was in the room. The mother-in-law stared at her for a long time but didn't see anything unusual, and then yelled at the boy beside her: "What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and put out the fire!"

After the mother-in-law finished yelling, Shen Qing had already been helped out by the missing maid, her hair was messy and her face was pale, she looked at Ziyuan nervously as soon as she came out: "Why haven't you told everyone to run away?"

Zi Yuan was stunned, based on what she knew about Shen Qing, she was about to make a fool of herself.

The old lady stepped forward suspiciously, and looked at her with a smile on her face: "What does the princess mean by that?"

"Run, run!" Shen Qing stepped forward and grabbed the old woman's wrist with her wet and cold hands, and said in a low voice, "There is... a ghost... There is the ghost of the second lady!"

It would be fine if Shen Qing talked about others, but when the second lady was mentioned, the woman and the people around her immediately widened their eyes and turned pale.

The wind at night was also very cooperative, blowing into people's necks, making people shiver with cold, just as they were talking, the voice of the servant came from inside: "I didn't find anything!"

The woman in charge knew that there must be a man inside, and she felt that the surroundings were getting colder and colder, and the shadows of the dancing trees were like ghosts.She glanced at Shen Qing who still had blood on her face, pushed her away suddenly, and ran away with her without looking back.

Ziyuan was also frightened and sat on the ground with limp legs, trying to crawl outside with difficulty, looking like an evil spirit chasing her.

Shen Qing heaved a long sigh of relief, but before explaining to Zi Yuan, she saw Sang Rou, who was still gentle during the day, appeared at the gate of the courtyard and looked at her with murderous intent.
