frivolous princess

Chapter 142

"Third Sister, what do you mean?!" Shangguan Miaoyu hopped angrily, and subconsciously took a peek at the old lady, but the old lady didn't look at her, as if she didn't care much.She blushed and stared at Shangguan Fuxue.

Shangguan Fuxue gave her a comforting smile and said, "Fifth Sister, don't panic, I'm just curious."

Master Shangguan Miaoyu grabbed Shangguan Miaoyu and said, "Third Sister, don't get me wrong. Fifth Sister has always been paranoid, but also has a quick temper. She will get the wrong meaning, and that's why she has such a big reaction."

Shangguan Fuxue smiled, "Fifth Sister is filial, of course I won't misunderstand. But since this wood rhinoceros claw stick belongs to the previous court, I'm afraid it will cause some unnecessary troubles, I think you should keep it for yourself."

Shangguan Miaoyu paused, and hurriedly said to the old lady: "Grandmother, you must not listen to Third Sister! This thing was found by my granddaughter so hard, what trouble can there be?!"

The old lady looked a little tired, looked up at her, and slightly raised her hand, "Your third sister is right. This is something from the previous dynasty. Your father is the first-rank general of the country at that time. How can you keep this?" Something? Let’s take it and deal with it, so as not to cause future trouble!”

Shangguan Miaoyu didn't expect the old lady to say this, and she wanted to defend herself anxiously, but was stopped by Shangguan Miaoshi next to her, pleading guilty: "Grandmother is right, Fifth Sister was careless and didn't think of the advantages and disadvantages involved. , almost made a big mistake! Grandma, please don't take it to heart!"

Shangguan Miaoyu was still a little unwilling, it took so much effort to get this thing, she worked so hard to please the old lady, so that she could have some hope in her future life.Unexpectedly, these thoughts were dismissed by Shangguan Fuxue with a few words.

Shangguan Miaoyu burst into tears and knelt down in front of the old lady, "Grandmother, I was wrong before! I don't know right from wrong, let Liang's family know!" She cried, put the wood rhinoceros claw staff on the ground, and then repeatedly He slapped himself a few times.

She didn't hesitate at all, even a little ruthless, everyone present looked shocked, but Shangguan Miaoshi didn't hold her back this time, just looked at her fixedly.

The old lady suffered from liver depression, some chest tightness, and dizziness.Seeing her crying bitterly, not only did she have no mercy, but even more depressed.She said impatiently: "Okay! Are you going to let me live?! I'm not dead yet, why are you crying?!"

Shangguan Miaoyu was obviously taken aback by the reprimand, she held back her tears, hurriedly and tremblingly kowtowed on the ground again and again, she kowtowed four times by coincidence.Since ancient times, there has always been a saying that "there are three gods and four ghosts". Knocking four times in a row is clearly an act of worshiping ghosts.

The old lady felt tight in her chest, she sat up in anger, raised her hand and slapped her, "You bastard! You're going to curse me to death, aren't you?! Pull me out! I don't want to see this bastard!" The man was obviously short of breath, he rubbed his chest and coughed again and again, his head became dizzy, and he fell back on the bed.Still gritted his teeth and scolded: "You are like your crazy mother, talking crazy all day long! How can my Shangguan family have such a careless thing like you!"

Shangguan Miaoyu suffered repeated setbacks and was stunned by the old lady's beating, Shangguan Miaoshi hurriedly saluted the old lady and said in panic: "Old lady, my Fifth Sister is not sober today, I will take her back to rest right now! "As he said, he tried to drag Shangguan Miaoyu out.

"Wait!" the old lady shouted, she stared fiercely at Shangguan Miaoyu, still angry.Shangguan Miaoshi paused, turned back hastily and tremblingly, the old lady continued: "I don't need this bastard to pay my respects in the future, just stay in my courtyard, don't come out without my permission!"

Master Shangguan Miaoyu was pulling Shangguan Miaoyu, his face was a little pale, and his head was covered with cold sweat, he pressed Shangguan Miaoyu's head obediently, nodded to the old lady, and replied: "Grandmother, Fifth Sister will not mess with you again." Grandma is angry."

Seeing the madam's distraught look, everyone rushed to persuade her not to get angry, but none of them helped Shangguan Miaoyu.

Shangguan Fuxue asked Mother Su to take Qingxin Pills for her to take, and comforted her for a while before she finally calmed down.

At this time, the old lady asked: "I heard that last night, the account room was burned down?" The old lady opened her eyes slightly and looked at her.The old lady was getting old and was prone to illness, but this illness made her look much older.She is not yet sixty, but her face is already wrinkled, and she is older than those old people of the same age that Shangguan Fuxue knew in her previous life.

This made Shangguan Fuxue feel a little sore in her heart. In her previous life, she didn't feel the warmth of family affection. In this life, it is rare to have a grandmother who is connected by blood by her side, so she couldn't help pouring her affection into it.She could tell that this grandmother had greatly changed her attitude towards her since the Lanting Ya meeting, and her feelings for her were also pure family affection.Even between her and Liang Muhua, this grandmother turned to her more.

Shangguan Fuxue smiled softly, "It's a pity that those ledgers were burned, I haven't had time to read them yet."

The old lady was obviously taken aback, she was a bit surprised by her answer, but she didn't care, "I heard that it was burned from inside?"

Shangguan Fuxue nodded, "The fire started right in front of my eyes, it's very strange."

The old lady was getting old and ill, her mental power was a bit weak, she couldn't think clearly, she just smiled softly and said: "Since it's very strange, you can go and investigate it." She hummed softly again, " There are so many strange things happening in this huge General’s Mansion, it’s time to investigate.”

Shangguan Fuxue talked with the old lady for a while, and glanced at the fifth aunt sitting next to her who seldom talked. She just noticed that the fifth aunt's face was not very good. She obviously got up from the lotus pond at night, and she was quite shocked. , and suffered some cold.She winked at Fifth Yiniang, and said goodbye to the old lady.

Fifth Yiniang came out in a hurry, but Shangguan Fuxue didn't speak directly, but gossiped all the way to the lotus pond.

It is the season of lotus blooming, and the lotus leaves are clustered with pink and white lotus flowers, which are fragrant and elegant, and there is only a pleasing scenery.It has nothing to do with those nasty things.

But Fifth Aunt looked at it, but she was startled for a moment, her face turned pale, "What did you bring me here for?!"

Shangguan Fuxue took a look at the people around Wu Yiniang, they knew the two maids, and they had been in the mansion for a while, so she said, "Fifth Yiniang, I heard that there are new maids in your yard?"

Fifth Yiniang was taken aback, "Are you talking about Xiaoyu?" She frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Xiaoyu was brought here by a distant relative of mine. I thought she was clever and clever, so I kept her here. What's wrong?"

Shangguan Fuxue didn't answer but instead asked: "Fifth Auntie, let me ask you again, did you fall into this lotus pond last night? Is this Xiaoyu the one who came to report the letter?"

Fifth Yiniang looked puzzled, "Miss San, why do you ask such a question? I fell into the lotus pond, of course the servant girl must find someone to save me."

Shangguan Fuxue glanced at her, "Then do you still remember how you fell into the lotus pond?"

Fifth Yiniang was even more surprised, she shook her head and said: "I remember when I walked to..." She said, took two steps forward, walked to a step, pointed and said: "When I came here, I The foot slipped and fell down all at once. And then..." She stopped talking, staring at the steps in a daze, as if she couldn't figure it out.

The lotus ponds of rich families generally have special designs, not only to look good, but also to ensure the safety of the owner when looking at the flowers.The steps are made uneven to prevent slipping.Looking at it now, there is nothing abnormal on the steps, but it is very clean, as if it has been carefully scrubbed.But the rich people always pay attention to meticulousness, and it is the season of appreciating the lotus, so it is not surprising that they are very clean.But why, Wu Yiniang was staring at the clean steps, a little surprised?

Shangguan Fuxue frowned, "Fifth Aunt, is there something wrong?"

Fifth Yiniang couldn't tell for a while, she just stared there and thought for a long time, "When I walked here yesterday, it was obviously very slippery, like..." She frowned as she thought about it, and said in surprise, "It's like It's like stepping on a piece of oil! It's extremely slippery!"

Shangguan Fuxue's face changed, "So, someone deliberately tried to harm you!"

Fifth Yiniang staggered in fright, she was a little unsteady, her face turned blue and white, she remembered something, and hurriedly said to Tao Rui: "Go back to the courtyard to see if that girl is still there?!"

"What?!" Shangguan Fuxue was a little surprised, "That little girl really did it?!"

Fifth Yiniang shook her lips, "It was hot last night, the little girl told me that the lotus was blooming, and that it was cool by the lotus pond, so I was moved and came here." She seemed a little unbelievable, "I think she was I rushed to find someone to save me, but I didn't think too much about it. Unexpectedly, she would be so vicious! If it wasn't for Tao Rui's cleverness, she took a bamboo pole and let me grab it, and those people came to rescue me."

Shangguan Fuxue smiled meaningfully, "Fifth Aunt, do you know? I was in the room with Silhouette yesterday, and I almost died."

Seeing her speaking calmly, Wu Yiniang's heart still jumped, "How do you say?"

Shangguan Fuxue said: "I was looking at the account book in the accounting room yesterday, but the candle suddenly exploded. The candle was specially mixed with poisonous powder and phosphorous powder, and when it exploded, a lot of poisonous powder was released. I think with Silhouette I ran out, but the door was locked. The two guards at the door also disappeared. Do you think it’s strange?”

Fifth Yiniang's face was pale, and she was already shocked enough to fall into the lotus pond, but she didn't expect her to be more thrilling than herself.

Shangguan Fuxue said again: "If I didn't know some medical principles, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stand in front of you and talk to you now. Now, the accountant's room has been burned into ruins, and there is not even a trace of it. Do you think it will be Did your maid do it?"

Wu Yiniang thought, Xiaoyu is only eleven or twelve years old, how can she have such complicated thoughts?She understood the meaning of Shangguan Fuxue's words, which obviously meant that the little girl was just an accomplice, and one could imagine who was behind it.
