Red makeup against the world

Chapter 767 Don't Give Up

However, she has paid so much, what has she got now?Only got an ambiguous answer.

The more Chen thought about it, the angrier she became.

In her original idea, when she came back and asked lightly, she would see a servant with a panicked expression saying that Xu Wan had really been taken away!

Even, when they returned to the mansion, they saw servants like headless flies all over the house, because Xu Wan was really missing, and there was no one left.

She thought about all kinds of situations, and it was this goal that supported her through lonely days and nights.He is not even afraid of the day when he will be imprisoned in the Buddhist hall.

but!

When she has done all the things she promised, the ultimate goal has become so elusive.

No, no matter what, she must go and take a look for herself to be at ease.

Thinking of this, she turned over.Without changing his clothes, he put on a cloak and opened the door to go out.

Grandma Tian, ​​who was guarding outside, saw her and took a step forward, blocking her way.

"It's late at night and the dew is heavy, where does Madam want to go?"

"Zhiyuanju." Chen's face was no longer as calm and calm as before, and his face turned black: "Get out of the way!"

"The Empress Dowager has ordered that Madam should cultivate Buddha carefully in the Buddhist hall. If there is anything, this old slave can do it for Madam."

Glancing at Nanny Tian, ​​Chen thought, no way!Who doesn't know that you and Xu Wan are really together.Up to now, she only believed her own eyes.

"I have to go today. If you stop, I'll charge you with torture."

Nanny Tian didn't back down at all, she lowered her eyes and asked, "If you say that eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddha is abuse, Madam is accusing the Empress Dowager of being unkind?"

Chen choked for a moment, how could she answer these words.Saying yes, that would be disrespectful to the empress dowager.If you say no, you are not self-satisfied.

"Madam, what do you want to do in Zhiyuanju?" Seeing that she was silent, Nanny Tian took a step back and said, "The second young lady has gone to the palace, where there are only servants in the courtyard."

"If there is any order or something to bring, just ask the old slave to do it. I will definitely do it for Madam with all my heart and responsibility."

Chen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said: "There is a clump of evening chrysanthemums by the lake behind Zhiyuan Residence, which was planted by the Duke and I when we were newly married. I want to go and see if it is safe."

She made a good excuse, and naturally she had to go to see the flowers in person.

It's the end of autumn now, she doesn't talk about admiring the chrysanthemums, but only about remembering them.No matter how much Tianmao refused, it would be a little unreasonable.

"Ma'am," Tian Nanny persuaded, "It's getting late at this time. How about going to enjoy the scenery and wait until tomorrow?"

At this moment, Chen's heart is burning with anxiety, how can she wait?
Shaking his head resolutely, he said, "I thought of this flower when I first entered the Buddhist hall. It may be the instruction of the Buddha. I really can't feel at ease if I don't go and see it."

In order to confirm the guess in her heart, she even did not hesitate to bring out the Buddha.

Having said all of this, since she didn't leave the house anyway, Nanny Tian had no choice but to follow.Called Chun Shan and Madam Liu together, waited for Mrs. Chen to get dressed, they held up lanterns and walked towards Zhiyuanju along the flower path.

In the backyard, there are only some candles with windshields left along the way, dotted around.

It was another starless and moonless night, the autumn wind blew through the branches, and under the faint lights, it looked a little creepy.

Chun Shan tightened his clothes, and couldn't help slandering, what is Madam going to Zhiyuanju to do in the middle of the night?But she is a servant girl, so she can only obey.

Chen Shi didn't care about it at all, she had a mouthful of courage in her heart, which made her not afraid of the environment.

She walked faster and faster, expecting that a panicked Zhi Yuan would appear in front of her after a while.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her decision was right.They must have been unprepared for coming here late at night.Just to catch Yuanju by surprise, let's see how they can still cover up the fact that Xu Wanzhen has been taken away.

"Boom, boom, boom!" Nanny Liu stepped forward to knock on the door.

After a while, the rustling voice came out from inside, and someone asked: "Who is the one who doesn't sleep in the middle of the night?"

"It's ma'am."

"What?" The people inside were taken aback, quickly opened the door, and raised their voices: "The old slave pays homage to Madam." The movement of the courtyard door was transmitted inward, and the courtyard that had fallen into silence was lit up one by one.

Chen looked at the woman who opened the door expressionlessly, and asked, "When did you lock it, is the yard still safe?"

The mother-in-law was surprised, and replied: "If you go back to Madam, the Second Young Madam is not here, and the courtyard was locked in two minutes. Everything is fine."

Looking around her face, Chen was disappointed to find that her face didn't have the look she expected.

Maybe, because she is just a janitor woman, she has no access to such confidential information.

She continued to walk in, and there were little maids greeting her on the way.On their faces, there was only surprise at her coming late at night, without any panic, concealment, or dodge.

Madam Zheng came up with Bai Yao, and said with a smile, "It's late at night, why is Madam here in such a leisure time? If you need anything, just tell me, I will definitely do my best."

Mrs. Chen frowned, these nuns who came out of the palace were really annoying, they all spoke in the same tone.

Raising eyebrows and glanced at her, Chen said: "I came to see the chrysanthemum cluster by the lake. I planted it myself when I was newly married. Brother Xiang's daughter-in-law is not here, so I am afraid that you will not give your best."

When the words "Brother Xiang's daughter-in-law" were mentioned, Mrs. Chen stared fixedly at Madam Zheng's face, hoping to find a trace of stiffness in her expression.

However, Mother Zheng saluted calmly and said: "It turns out that the late chrysanthemum by the lake was planted by my wife herself, and even the second young lady didn't know about it. A few days ago, the second young lady praised the flowers blooming very well. So it turns out There are other reasons."

I don't know if it's because of a ghost in her heart, but Chen always feels that there are ironic questions in her words.

She is old and mature, and it seems that she can't get any useful information from her mouth.You should find a young person who has not experienced anything before, so that you can make a routine.

Looking left and right, she asked, "Who is waiting for Brother Xiang's daughter-in-law to enter the palace? The palace is not comparable to other places, and it needs to be extra careful."

Madam Zheng replied respectfully: "Returning to Madam, the two first-class maidservants next to the Second Young Madam are preparing to marry, so they brought a second-class maid Qingmai into the palace. Madam, you also know that you can't bring too many maids into the palace." manpower."

Mrs. Chen nodded, and said: "So there is such a happy event. What about the two maids who are going to marry, since I have caught up, I want to meet them."

Madam Zheng's heart is like a bright mirror, Mrs. Chen came to see if the flowers are fake, but to spy on the truth.

Don't let her see tonight, tomorrow she will come up with other tricks.It's better to let her give up as soon as possible!

"They were embroidering wedding dresses recently, so I didn't call for them just now. Since Madam asked, it's their blessing, so I'll let someone invite you."

　Suddenly found that it was recommended by the client's bookshelf, and temporarily added a chapter, la la la
