Long Song Fenghua: The Demon Queen Confused the King's Heart

Chapter 373

After slowly drinking a cup of hot tea in his hand, Mrs. Ru got up and entered the bedroom.

She put down the bed curtain carefully, put her palms on the wall, tentatively, groping over it bit by bit, touched a bump, pressed hard, and the originally flat wall suddenly spread out, revealing a secret passage.

The secret passage is very deep, pitch-black, with cold wind seeping out, staring at the secret passage, like a lady smiling coldly.

In the Liu Mansion, everyone has secrets, everyone thinks that others don't know their secrets, but in fact they may not, but her secret, except for her favorite daughter Liu Nian'an, even Mrs. Liu doesn't know about it.

Picking up the oil lamp by the bedside, Mrs. Ru carried her shoes, and cautiously entered the secret passage. The light illuminated the slightly steep dark stairs, and Mrs. Ru moved down step by step.

The closer you get to the bottom of the secret room, the stronger the smell of fishy smell becomes, like Madam covering her mouth and nose, even though she has smelled it for so many years, she is still not used to the smell.

The bottom of the secret room is not too big, there is a water tank in the middle, the water tank is tightly covered, and cages made of thin wire and rows of glass bottles are piled up on the surrounding walls.There are rustling noises coming out of it constantly, if someone who doesn't know gets close, they will definitely be terrified when they see those things clearly——

Whether it's a thin wire cage or those large or small glass bottles, what's inside are not colorful poisonous snakes and centipedes, spiders that are bigger than a baby's fist, and shiny scorpions are also writhing restlessly in the cages. with.

If you look more carefully, it is not difficult to find that all the cages and utensils have not been put into a single bit of food, and the poisonous animals who are hungry will start killing each other when they are hungry, biting and devouring the same kind It is from this that the stench permeating the air comes from his limbs.

In the corner of the secret room, several pots of huge and white flowers were planted, which Liu Nian'an gave to Mu Changge that day.It has a very special habit, it can tightly wrap the insects close to the petals in the flower core, until midnight, when the whole flower blooms, and the poisonous insects wrapped inside will be spit out intact .

Mrs. Ru's gaze swept over all the things in front of her one by one, and finally landed on the water tank in front of her.

She approached slowly, pressed the lid with both hands, as if she had made great determination, and then opened the lid vigorously. When she tremblingly held up the oil lamp and shone in, her face was immediately full of disappointment anger—

"Trash! It's all trash! Useless things!" Mrs. Ru gritted her teeth and cursed viciously, and the cover in her hand was also smashed to the ground by her force, "It's all trash... trash!"

At the bottom of the water tank, several corpses of poisonous insects of different shapes lay ferociously in every corner. All the poisonous insects were dead, and none of them survived. When the water tank was opened, only the stench of poisonous insect corpses overflowed.

Mrs. Ru supported the water tank with one hand, bent down and retched a few times, she couldn't figure out what went wrong, the method of raising Gu was obviously stolen from Mrs. Liu, but why, why she I have been secretly raising Gu for more than ten years, but I have never succeeded once!
Sitting slumped on the cold floor, Mrs. Ru's mind kept echoing Mrs. Liu's words just now, and suddenly felt a mass of humiliation spontaneously.

Could it be that Mrs. Liu asked her to settle accounts with her own ability, because she was sure that she would not have that ability!

"Do you think...without these things, I can't help my Nian'an breathe a sigh of relief!" Madam Ru gritted her teeth desperately, "Without these...I will definitely make her pay the price!"

In this gloomy secret room, the curses whispered by the lady are more chilling than the piles of poisonous insects...

In the past few days, the news of Liu Nian'an's insanity had spread throughout the Liu residence. If Madam wanted to hide it, she couldn't hide it. Every night, Liu Nian'an's heart-piercing screams would cut through the night, far away. It spread far and wide, spreading to every corner of Liu Mansion.

However, except for Mrs. Ru, everyone in the Liu Mansion turned a blind eye to Liu Nian'an's madness. The eldest lady went crazy, but no one investigated the reason for her madness.It seems that everyone can see through the truth, and it seems that everyone is avoiding the truth.

"Have you noticed that there are a lot fewer people coming to our courtyard these days."

On this day, the weather was fine, and Mu Changge stood in the courtyard, looking at a plum tree in the corner, and casually mentioned it to Suyu.

Suyu was holding the scissors and was trimming a potted plant. Hearing this, she said with a smile: "It's not that the freshness has passed, and those who don't come should be afraid of the scorpion, right?"

"It's all right, there are so many scorpions."

"Yes, we're not afraid if we are there. Miss, there's also some powder for repelling insects."

Just as the master and servant were chatting, a pretty maid appeared in front of the courtyard gate. Seeing Mu Changge standing there, she bowed to her and said, "The old ancestor sent the slave over here. Second Miss, please go over there."

Mu Changge stroked the folds of his clothes, "Let's go."

This is rare, since the day she entered the Liu Mansion, Mrs. Liu has never taken the initiative to find her, and today is the first time she has encountered it.

When he arrived at Mrs. Liu's place, Mu Changge realized that not only Mrs. Liu was in the room, but Master Liu and Mrs. Liu were also there. When she entered with the maid, the three of them were talking with each other.

"Changge is here, come and sit next to our ancestor." Mrs. Liu motioned for her to come over with a smile, and sat beside her, "You will not be short when you come back to Cangde, your uncle's colleagues all know now You have returned to the Liu family, such a beautiful and beautiful girl, it is not easy to just hide in the mansion forever."

"We were discussing just now, and it's time to lead you to meet people everywhere. I was afraid that you would be offended by mentioning it hastily, so I brought you here and asked if you would like to. If you are afraid of life, then Just let it go, it's not something important, you have to see it."

Mu Changge smiled, "Thank you ancestor for being considerate, this is not an important matter, just follow the arrangement of the ancestor."

Who would have thought that before she finished her sentence, Mrs. Ru's voice came in along with the sound of the door curtain.

"Are you afraid that you don't have to meet? Changge is the upright second lady of our Liu family. According to the rules, she should be allowed to show her face. If you are afraid of strangers, you have to cover up and hide in the mansion. What does it sound like?"

Mrs. Ru entered the room unhurriedly, and said again: "Mother, don't blame your daughter for talking too much, you know, our Liu family blood has come back in a legitimate way, I don't know, I don't even see her face all day long, I don't know How to guess."

"What my aunt said is that Changge just needs to follow the old lady's arrangements." Mu Changge responded politely, with a just-right smile on the corner of his mouth, so that no one could find a trace of fault.

Today's strange things are all gathered together. Mu Changge remembers hearing Yuzhi say that Madam Ru only gets close to two people in this mansion, and one of them is naturally Liu Nian'an, whom she regards as the jewel in her palm. It's Mrs. Liu.

In the past, if there were other people present, Mrs. Ru would definitely not come. If she wanted to come, she would only pick a time when Mrs. Liu was alone. Today, knowing that Liu Rongzhen and Mrs. Liu were both there, they also came. This is unprecedented. First time.

Mrs. Liu looked at her with a smile on her face, "Is Nian'an better?"

"It's nothing to read Anben, but it's just that I was frightened earlier." Mrs. Ru's smile sank, "Listen to the doctor, take a few more doses of calming medicine and you'll be fine."

"That's good." Mrs. Liu nodded, and said, "Since Chang Ge has no reluctance, then the two of you will see when the time is right."

Mrs. Liu asked about Liu Rongzhen and his wife, but it was Mrs. Ru who answered her.

"In a few days, it will be the day when Prince Su is going to hold a banquet. Since Prince Su sent us a post in the Liu Manor, isn't this the most suitable opportunity?"

Mrs. Liu was taken aback, and said with a smile: "You never cared about these things, why do you remember clearly this time?"

"I don't want to care about it this time, but Prince Su said clearly this time that he wants to invite all the people in our Liu Mansion. If I don't go, wouldn't it be a disgrace to Prince Su? How could it be because of me alone? , and offend him by implicating the entire Liu family." Mrs. Ru said wearily, the disgust in her expression was extremely obvious.

"Look at what you said, Prince Su has been eating fast and reciting Buddha these years, but he is a very compassionate person, why do you have to blame the whole Liu Manor for you to shirk it all by yourself?" Mrs. Liu smiled again, "However, you If I go this time, it will save me a lot of trouble, and it will prevent me from having to prevaricate one by one, why is Mrs. Liu in our mansion always missing."

Madam Ru's expression darkened immediately, she got up very displeased, and said in a cold voice: "It seems that sister-in-law thinks that I have caused you a lot of trouble before, and it will not happen in the future."

After finishing speaking, without even a word of farewell, Mrs. Ru pulled her face and walked out on her own.

Mrs. Liu didn't say a word, but there was a bit of embarrassment on her dignified face.

"She has always been like this, but I have wronged you." Mrs. Liu said, after being disturbed by Mrs. Ru, Mrs. Liu also lost interest, "But the date she mentioned is indeed suitable, I will tell you later Let Madam Li go to the Changge room to write down her stature, so that she can rush to add new clothes, our young lady of the Liu family must not lose her identity when she is away from home."

"Changge thanked the old ancestor." Mu Changge bowed again and responded.

"These are all easy to handle, but..." Mrs. Liu frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Ancestor, when the day is held by Prince Su, is the ancestor really relieved to let Wanru go? If she is really allowed to go Go, I feel a little uneasy in my heart..."
