Chapter 144

Seeing that he couldn't stop it, the man in black muttered.

"What did you say?"

Xiao Cui couldn't hear what he said, so she couldn't help asking.

"Nothing. I'm going up."

The man in black shook his head hastily.

After speaking, he flew up the tree.

"Hey, what's your name?"

Under the tree, Xiaocui asked loudly.

Until today, she didn't know that there is actually someone from the prince in Dongli Garden. Before that, she always thought that she was the only one here, so she was inevitably a little scared at night. However, after knowing the existence of this person, can she Don't be afraid anymore?

However, Xiaocui's words were not answered.There was silence in the trees.

This is the most basic requirement of being a hidden guard. Once hidden, he is not allowed to speak casually unless called by the master or in an emergency.

"Forget it, since you don't say it, I won't ask, but, can you listen to me?"

As Xiaocui spoke, her expression became sad again. She slowly sat under the tree, hugged her knees, and said as if talking to herself: "Xiaocui lost her relatives when she was free. When she was begging for food, she met Ren Yazi. Later, I was sold to the Hou's Mansion. Fortunately, I met my wife. She saw that I was about the same size as the young lady, so she asked me to serve the young lady. The young lady has always been very kind to Xiaocui, just like a sister. , Xiao Cui felt that she had found home..."

Xiao Cui kept talking, kept talking, as if she was tireless.Although she couldn't see it, the complexion of the man in black on the tree kept changing with her tone. Sometimes, he nodded unconsciously.

"Miss said that as long as she is here, Xiaocui will not be wronged in the future. At that time, Xiaocui was touched, and at the same time, she secretly swore in her heart that in the future, she must swear to protect Miss and do my best. Able to serve the lady! But... the good days have not passed a few days, and the lady..."

Having said that, Xiaocui buried her head in her knees and began to cry.

The man in black on the tree couldn't help being moved. Several times, he wanted to jump down from the tree to comfort Xiaocui, but he held back.

Xiaocui cried enough, and said again: "I don't believe that Miss is dead. Let me tell you, don't tell others! If you don't speak, I will take it as your consent. If you tell others in the future, I will definitely I won't spare you!"

After a pause, Xiaocui continued: "The bracelet on the wrist of the dead body belonged to the young lady, but a few days before the young lady disappeared, the young lady had already given the bracelet to the madam! Xiaocui knew everything, but Xiao Cui didn't dare to say it, if Xiao Cui did say it, she might not be able to wait for the lady to come back! The corpse must have been brought by the master to pretend to be the lady. So, he doesn't want Miss anymore! Huuuuuuuuuuu......"

A surprised expression appeared on the face of the man in black. He felt that it was necessary for him to tell the prince the news, but when he thought of Xiaocui's words, he began to struggle!He is a member of the prince, and he sticks to it here, and he is doing things for the prince. It stands to reason that he should tell the prince if he knows such important news.But just now Xiaocui also told him that he can't tell other people, what should I do?
The man in black struggled for a while, looked at Xiao Cui, and finally suppressed his eagerness to move, and continued to quietly lurk on the tree to listen to Xiao Cui's words.

After crying for a while, Xiaocui went on to say: "I am here, every day, my heart is full of hope, thinking that the lady will come back suddenly, but every day is full of despair, young master sees me pitiful, originally wanted to bring I'm leaving, but I'm afraid that if I leave, what should the lady do if she can't find me when she comes back? Therefore, Xiaocui can't leave! I don't dare to leave! Every day, I'm like a lonely ghost, in this place. I went in and out of the fenced garden, no one talked to me, no one comforted me, told me, will Miss come back, or..."

Xiaocui suddenly raised her head, looked at the moon in the sky, and said, "Or, Miss, did she go back there?"

Speaking of this, Xiao Cui thought to herself, instead of letting her believe that the young lady fell into the hands of the bad guys and would be worse than death, or was simply killed, then she would rather believe that the young lady returned to her own world.

However, where is she?

The moon was very round and the night was very bright. Tired of talking, Xiaocui hugged her knees and looked at the moon in a daze. After a long time, there was no more sound.

The man in black felt strange, and looked down, only to see that she was already asleep.

Maybe it's because of her posture, maybe it's because she still has something in her heart, she slept very dishonestly, her mouth kept moving, and she didn't know what she was saying.

Seeing that the weather was too cold, the man in black was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he finally landed lightly, carried Xiao Cui back to the house, put her on the bed, covered her with the quilt, and couldn't help but take a few more glances. He walked out of the room softly, closed the door gently, and then returned to his post.

At this time, it was already midnight, and he looked in the direction of Guihua Garden, he was afraid that a good show was about to be staged!
Naturally, who would dare to disobey the prince's order?
Inside the Changcui Pavilion, the silence was a little scary, but the leaves on a big sycamore tree moved quietly at this moment, and then, a black shadow quickly went to the room where the second aunt lived.

Under the cover of night, all this happened quietly.

Like a fallen leaf, the black shadow landed outside the window where Second Aunt lived. He just stretched out his hand and pushed it lightly, and the window made an extremely weak "bang", and he pushed it away easily. Then, the black shadow With a "whoosh" as fast as lightning, he flew into the room, somersaulted on the ground, stood up straight, and walked over to find the place on the bed.

The second aunt fell asleep soon after she came back from the Guihua Garden, and now she is sleeping sweetly, with a satisfied smile on her middle-aged face, it seems that in her sleep, she is very happy. Smile at today's victory!

The man in black stretched out his hand and pushed her on the shoulder. For a master like him, killing a sleeping person was not too challenging.

The second aunt opened her eyes in a daze, she was suddenly terrified, she was about to scream,
At this moment, the door was suddenly opened, and Zhu Zichan pushed the door open. Seeing this scene, she immediately shouted: "Come on, come on, there are robbers, there are robbers..."

Unexpectedly, his actions would be exposed, the man in black was startled, and hurriedly flew out of the window.

At the same time, someone knocked on the door of the Hou Mansion with a "dong dong dong".

In the originally silent Hou's Mansion, a commotion suddenly resounded.

Zhu Jing was lying on the bed in the study at this moment with his eyes open in a daze, when he heard the voice, he asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

"Go back to the master, it seems that there are thieves coming to the house."

"I asked who knocked on the door in the middle of the night?" Zhu Jing asked again.

"Master, it's Prime Minister Wang and his wife!"

"..."

"Hmph! They still have the face to come!"

Hearing this, Zhu Jing suddenly stood up and walked towards the door, as if he had never heard about the thief entering the house.

"Master...Master...Someone wanted to kill my concubine just now, Master..."

As soon as he walked out the door, he saw Second Auntie stumbling over...

"Come here, take Second Aunt home."

But Zhu Jing didn't even look at Second Aunt, and gave instructions while walking.

When he arrived at the door, seeing Prime Minister Wang and his wife standing there, Zhu Jing cupped his hands lightly and said, "I don't know why the Prime Minister came to my Marquis Mansion in the middle of the night, what's your business?"

"Master Hou is very polite!"

The prime minister also bowed his hands, and the prime minister's wife also saluted at the same time.

"Master Hou, I heard that Madam made a mistake. Tomorrow you are going to soak her in a pig cage. Is there such a thing?"

Prime Minister Wang didn't beat around the bush, and asked the first sentence.

"Hehe... this is a family matter, it seems that it's not the prime minister's turn to take care of it, right?"

Hearing this, Zhu Jing immediately changed his face and said.

"Master Hou, you can't say that! Chu Hong is my cousin, no matter what, she is also my relative. If you want to sink her into the pond, you have to give us an explanation, right?"

The prime minister's wife also said angrily.

"Okay, although this is my family matter, since the two of you want to explain, I will give you an explanation, please!"

Zhu Jing made a gesture of invitation, and then led the way.

The prime minister and his wife followed behind him, and they soon arrived outside the demolished house of the Hou Mansion.

"Open the door."

Zhu Jing said to the guard at the door.

The guard didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly opened the door.

They walked in, only to see Chu Hong sitting in front of a firewood pile, and a young man was sitting opposite her.

"What's going on here? Chu Hong, you must tell me clearly today!"

The prime minister's wife was the first to ask.

"Cousin, what's the use of saying anything now? I just want to die soon!"

Unexpectedly, Chu Hong no longer had the desire to defend herself.When encountering this kind of thing, she knew that even if she jumped into the Yellow River, she would not be able to clean up.

"Who are you? Why are you with us Chu Hong? Tell me, how did you lie on the same bed?"

The prime minister's wife looked at Gu Ming again and asked.

"Hmph, I'm reading the books of sages and sages, and I think I've never done anything harmful to nature, but now I'm in a whole world, and I can't justify myself, so what's the use of reading? If you want to kill or cut, it's up to you!"

Gu Ming actually had an expression of resignation, his tone was lonely, and he said calmly.

"you!"

The prime minister and his wife came here overnight just to save them, but now they heard what they said, but they didn't know how to speak.

"Did you hear that? They have already acquiesced. I wonder what else the Prime Minister and Madam have to say?"

Zhu Jing asked unreasonably.

While speaking, his eyes were fixed on Chu Hong's face all the time, but seeing that her face was as yellow as wax, and her whole body had lost weight, he couldn't bear it. The jealousy and resentment couldn't help gushing out again, wishing to spurt fire from his eyes.

He turned his face away angrily, and walked towards the door, while walking, he said: "If the prime minister and madam have nothing else to do, please go ahead, the old man is going to rest."
