Houmen Yixiang

Chapter 8 The Enemy Across the Wall
Begonia courtyard.

Reclining on the imperial concubine's couch, Jiang Shi, dressed in a crescent white coat, had not received any news for a long time, and suddenly his eyelids twitched, feeling uneasy.

"Chuntao, go and see if Nanny Zhou is back?"

"Yes, ma'am."

After half a cup of tea, footsteps sounded in the yard, it seemed that Nanny Zhou had returned.

Jiang was overjoyed and sat up.

"Chuntao, you go down first, my wife will be served by me tonight."

Sure enough, it was Nanny Zhou, but her voice was too heavy, which seemed a little wrong.

"Yes, Nanny Zhou." In Haitang Courtyard, apart from Mrs. Jiang, the biggest one is Nanny Zhou.

The door was pushed open, and just as Nanny Zhou stepped in, Jiang couldn't wait to ask, "Mommy, how are things going?"

Nanny Zhou closed the door casually, walked up to Mrs. Jiang, knelt down, and said guiltily, "I'm sorry Ma'am, but this slave is responsible for your trust."

It seems to be a failure!How could it fail?

Jiang's face darkened, "Let's listen carefully."

Nanny Zhou didn't hide anything, and told Jiang Shi everything that happened tonight.

After Jiang's hearing, his complexion was as dark as night, and after a while, he seemed to think of something, and soon he was relieved.

She helped Nanny Zhou up, and said gently: "It's not your fault, it's my lack of thoughtfulness."

Nanny Zhou stood up and said worriedly: "Madam, Young Madam seems to have changed."

Jiang Shi didn't take it seriously, "That day when Lord Hou was very angry and sent her to Zhuangzi, she begged me to intercede with Lord Hou, but I refused.

With her disposition, she must have held a grudge against me from then on, so what happened tonight was just a coincidence. "

"Then madam, what shall we do next?" Nanny Zhou was not as optimistic as Jiang's. After all, she had personally fought with Lu Xinyan and knew that she was not just a coincidence that Jiang thought.

But Jiang was always arrogant, so he could only follow her wishes.

"Don't worry, I've already laid out the back move."

After Jiang shi finished speaking, he looked at the flickering oil lamp on the table with his eyes, and there was a cold light dancing in it.

"Early tomorrow morning, you go and invite Dr. Li to the mansion in person, and tell the birthday banquet that there are too many people, just in case something happens to the old lady."

Almost forgot about it!Nanny Zhou was shocked, "Yes, ma'am!"

Fushouyuan.

There are two big red palace lanterns hanging under the eaves outside the courtyard, shining through the arse-colored tulle on the window, and a faint red light can be seen in the room, which is very strange in this silent night.

Beside the bed with carved mahogany frame, sat a maidservant in taupe-colored dress, with her head propped on her left hand, her eyes closed, her head was nodding like a chicken pecking at rice.

The cattail leaf fan that was originally held in the right hand had fallen to the ground at some point.

On the low stool beside the bed, there is a blue and white incense burner with twined branches, and the incense is burning in the burner, which is lingering around.

The fragrance is like Lanfeilan, which is very nice. Occasionally, a little breeze comes from nowhere, and the light smoke will float into the begonia-colored gauze tent.

On the bed, Feng's brows were frowned, his face was sweating profusely, his breathing was as fast as a cow's panting, his open mouth opened and closed, like a fish floating on the water, sucking in air vigorously.

Her hands tightly clutched the thin brocade quilt on her body, and the veins on the back of her old hands were bruised, as if she had been trapped in some kind of nightmare.

She is indeed dreaming.

She dreamed that when Zhuzhu came back from Zhuangzi, she encountered a pack of wild wolves twenty miles away from the capital.

Those wild wolves opened their green and fierce eyes and showed their sharp white teeth, roaring and rushing towards Zhuzhu.

Zhuzhu was so terrified that she only had time to let out two screams, and was torn to pieces in an instant, blood was all over the ground, and her intestines were exposed.

In the dream, Zhuzhu's big eyes popped out of their sockets, revealing an extremely terrifying expression, unwilling to die.

Immediately after the scene changed, Zhuzhu's grandmother and mother, Mrs. Lin and the former Mrs. Ankang, complained tearfully why she didn't take good care of Zhuzhu.

She tried desperately to explain in her dream, and wanted to beg their forgiveness, but the two refused to listen, and Tao broke up with her from then on, and Juechen left.

She chased after desperately, but found that her feet seemed to be entangled by something, and she couldn't move. She could only watch the two leave with hatred...

Feng Shi on the bed opened his eyes suddenly, let out a mouthful of turbid air, his clothes were soaked, as if he had been fished out of the water.

In the dream, Zhuzhu's screams before she died, and the rattling sound of wild wolves biting and tearing, kept replaying in her ears.

The heartbroken expressions of Mrs. Lin and the former Mrs. Ankang before they left flashed before her eyes one by one.

"Zhuzhu, Zhuzhu..." Feng wanted to open his mouth to call out, but his voice stuck in his throat.

She kept her eyes open like this, feeling her body was hot and cold, light and heavy, until it was almost dawn, and then she slowly closed her eyes.

-

Early the next morning, pomegranate yard.

"You little thief, why did you steal the dates from our mansion?" Xiao He's angry voice came from outside, awakening Lu Xinyan who was sleeping.

"I didn't steal it? What I picked were dates from our mansion!" A young boy's voice in the stage of changing his voice came, as ugly as a rooster.

Xiao He was filled with righteous indignation, "What is in your mansion? This jujube tree obviously belongs to our mansion!"

"Its branches and leaves extend into our mansion, and that part belongs to our mansion!" the young man quibbled.

"You...you are unreasonable!" Xiao He was about to cry from his anger.

"What's the matter with being unreasonable? Hit me if you have the ability! Lululu..." The boy seemed to make a few faces at her.

Xiao He wowed, "Miss, someone bullied me, come and help me teach him a lesson!"

Lu Xinyan sat up lazily, and was about to speak when a voice of a man she would never forget, whom she hated deeply, and who was so clear and sweet that she was about to die, sounded slowly at this moment.

"Little monkey, come back."

That voice was cold and calm, like a spring water formed by the white snow in Tianshan Mountains, chilling everyone who listened to it.

The boy seemed to have left, only Xiao He's triumphant voice was left, "Little thief, if you steal our dates again, I will let the lady beat you to pieces!"

If she listened to it normally, Lu Xinyan would touch her forehead and sigh, what does this little girl think of her, a vicious thug?

Is she that fierce?How can she be so fierce, and she doesn't know kung fu, at most she just ordered Qingtong to do it!

As for Qing Tong's strength, where did she accidentally hurt the other party, does it have anything to do with her?

It doesn't matter a dime!
But at this moment, all she could think of was that cold, pleasant, alienated voice just now.

It's really a narrow road for enemies. She never thought that the "enemy" she had been thinking of all this time lived next door!

It's only a wall away!
