Chapter 74 The Poor Man

Lu Luo's voice came from the door, "Miss, are you up yet?"

Xiao Muyan quickly took off the coat on her body, before she said to Luluo, "Come in."

Luluo pushed open the door and walked in a few steps. She walked to the bed and said, "Miss, it's already noon, Madam asked me to wake you up for something to eat."

Xiao Muyan nodded, and then asked: "Last night, I was really exhausted. It's unexpected that I fell asleep until this hour. How is everything in the mansion today?"

Luluo shook her head and said: "You don't know, the third lady went to the second lady to plead for mercy, but the pleading failed, and finally she seemed to be crazy for a long time, saying that she would wait for the master to come back to make decisions, but today the master made the decision early in the morning. Chao, it was already noon and she didn't come back, the third lady was wronged and made a big fuss, and finally had no choice but to go back to her yard."

Xiao Muyan nodded, her tone was flat, "But you didn't disturb your mother, did you?"

Luluo thought for a while and said: "No, but the third wife is really pitiful, she is a nameless concubine, and she only gave birth to a daughter like Miss Fourth, and she was expecting this daughter to be famous and marry well. People, now that there is such a commotion, Miss Fourth's reputation has spread, and there is no possibility of turning over again."

Xiao Muyan smiled lightly and said: "After all, the third madam is married to my father. I believe that my father will definitely not take his anger on her because of the matter of the fourth miss. As long as she keeps herself safe, she can live comfortably in the rest of her life."

Luluo replied in agreement: "Miss, you are right, and in the final analysis, this matter was committed by the Fourth Miss herself, and she can't blame others. It's really unbelievable that a lady in the boudoir would do such a thing."

Xiao Muyan thought in her heart that if Luluo knew that Xiao Muyi was originally trying to frame her, but was betrayed by her way of treating him in a different way, she would be even more indignant.As the saying goes, a poor person must have something to hate, Xiao Muyi's current fate is all due to her own doing, no wonder other people have half of it.

Xiao Muyan suddenly remembered one of the key people in this matter, and asked unconsciously: "Then Xiao Muyi's personal maid, Luzhu, how is it now? But she was punished?"

Luluo's complexion changed, and she said slowly: "That Luzhu is pitiful, she was dragged to death by the second lady's words early this morning, after all, she has nothing to do with Miss Fourth, let alone she is still The accomplice, presumably the Second Madam is also trying to make an example to other servant girls in this mansion, and I am afraid that no one will dare to cause such incidents in the future."

Xiao Muyan had expected the ending of Luzhu long ago, but she didn't realize it so quickly. Although she felt a little emotion in her heart, pity for the enemy has always been cruel to herself, let alone being so obsessed with Luzhu. people.

Xiao Muyan said: "Let's not talk about them, what we have to do right now is to take care of ourselves and not make any mistakes. Now we only hope that Xiao's mansion will restore calm as soon as possible, and don't affect the innocent."

Lu Luo's eyes lit up and she said: "Miss, you are right. I don't expect our orchid courtyard to be so rich and prosperous. Now I only hope to live in this courtyard in peace, and you and your wife will live happily ever after."

Xiao Muyan looked at Luluo, the light in her eyes fluctuated slightly, and there was a tinge of warmth in her heart. Although she knew that Luluo's thought might be just a luxury for Lan Yuan on the edge of the cliff, she didn't want to break Luluo's Mind.

All she has to do is to make this come true. She must protect Lan Yuan and the two women in Lan Yuan.

Xiao Muyan smiled and said: "You girl, didn't you come to ask me to eat? After talking for a long time, I'm really hungry, so hurry up and lead the way, or the food will be cold, but I won't be able to taste your taste." Great workmanship."

Luluo smiled sweetly, turned around briskly, and walked out with cheerful steps. She smiled and said as she walked: "Miss, look at my brain, how can I be hungry for you, miss? Today I am yours!" For the few favorite dishes, Madam may be in a hurry."

Xiao Muyan and Luluo stepped out of the house one after the other, and about to step out of the threshold. A ray of sunlight passed through the deep twilight and projected onto Xiao Muyan's beautiful face. She stopped slightly, raised her eyes and looked at Hang The setting sun that was about to set was as bright as a ball of dazzling fireball.

The red rays of light are refracted into the black eyes, reflecting the radiant and translucent rays of light, and the floating clouds like cotton wool are swimming in the sky full of rosy clouds.

Luluo noticed that the young lady didn't keep up, she couldn't help but stop and turn her head, and asked in puzzlement, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Muyan smiled suddenly, her eyes were full of rosy clouds, she said with a smile: "It's just that I suddenly feel that this world is really beautiful."

Lu Luo was amused by these words, "Miss, what nonsense are you talking about? You grew up here since you were a child, and you only feel beautiful now?"

Xiao Muyan shook her head with a smile, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Yes, your lady and I are really stupid."

The two chatted and laughed and went to the small hall to eat. After dinner, Xiao Muyan returned to the boudoir, changed into night clothes, and tied her black hair into a ponytail.She tied the dagger tightly to her calf.

When night fell completely, Xiao Muyan set off for Chaomu Courtyard.

It was a dark night with no wind, and the Xiao Mansion tonight was even quieter than usual, as if it was a harbinger of a storm coming.

Xiao Muyan was like a butterfly flying in the dark night, and she landed in Chaomu Courtyard swiftly.The sharp eyes glanced at the situation in the yard. The defense was strengthened tonight than usual. The whole yard was extremely brightly illuminated by torches. Dozens of guards patrolled back and forth in groups of three.

Xiao Muyan judged that Xiao Tianyi was indeed very suspicious. It seemed that he had already realized that what he said last night was eavesdropped, that's why the blood jade was hijacked on the way to the court this morning.

But even if there are so many guards, she has come, so there is no reason to go back to the house immediately.The nimble black eyes looked around, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the tall roof.

The main house of Chaomu Courtyard was built three tiles higher than ordinary houses, and there was no moon or star tonight, the night sky was dark and gloomy, and the roof was like a black curtain that could not be seen, and from the perspective of the guards in the yard, there was no You can't see the top of this roof, which is the best place.

Thinking of this, like a black cat, she jumped up, climbed from the wall to the roof very quickly.Xiao Muyan leaned over slightly, and lay down on the roof. She took off the dagger tied to her calf, and carefully pried up a piece of roof tile with the sharp blade.

She put the roof tiles to one side, and leaned over to look into the house. There was only one candle burning in the house, and with the bright torch outside the door, it looked even more dim.
