Sheng Chong and God Investigate the Princess

Chapter 4
Steward Zhou hurriedly replied, "Shen Botou, because of the haunting, the maids dare not live here, so they carried the unconscious Second Miss to the eldest lady's yard. The eldest lady just married the son of the county magistrate at the beginning of the year. Most of the time it's empty."

"En." Yayoi responded, and then went straight to Yingluo Pavilion.

"Catcher Shen!" Steward Zhou was anxious, "Aren't you afraid of going there alone?"

The woman's cold back still walked forward.Ah Qi bluffed Housekeeper Zhou, "Isn't there still me!" and followed quickly.

Butler Zhou felt that Shen Toutou was too bold to be a woman, so he sighed in bewilderment, and the slightly aged figure turned around and slowly walked out of Yingluo Pavilion's courtyard.

"Miss!" Ah Qi was still a little scared, and followed Yayoi closely, "What are we going to do?"

"Of course I want to see how Zhou Yanyan fell." Yayoi's quiet and stern voice had a strange and calming power in the twilight.

The door on the first floor of Yingluo Pavilion was open, the layout inside was very simple, there was only one reception table, and some sweet and fragrant flowers and plants were placed.On the west side, there are steps winding upwards. The wooden stairs are exquisite and simple, leading to the carved screen at the stairs on the second floor.

Yayoi went upstairs, bypassing the screen that exudes rich wood and sandalwood, and it was Zhou Yanyan's boudoir.The curtain on her bed was raised and hung on the silver hook next to her, the bedding was a bit messy, and the dressing table next to her was scattered with dowry.The door is opened on the south side, and when you push the door out, you can see the railings just now when you entered the courtyard, and you can lean on and look at the large lantana trees in the night.

"If you don't grab a maid and ask, how do you know where Zhou Yanyan fell from?"

In the dark night, a man's deep and pleasant voice came out of nowhere.Yayoi was startled, and frowned, while Aqi screamed directly.

"What's your name!" Yan Hongjing who was following Duan Sinan was a little impatient, Shen Misheng was calm and alert, why did she, a maid, always make such a fuss?

He has selectively forgotten that an hour ago he pointed to Shen Misheng's nose and said that she didn't know good from bad.

Yayoi fought back mercilessly, "Master Duan's bodyguard, if you suddenly ran out in such a dark and haunted place, normal people would be scared to death."

Duan Sinan's peach blossom eyes glowed in the twilight, and he laughed softly, "I don't think you look like you were scared to death."

"What are you doing here?" Yayoi looked down at the carved fence, with a sense of alienation in his tone.

"I just joined the yamen tomorrow, and I'm staying at Zhou's house today." Duan Sinan leaned lightly on the railing, his red dress was more enchanting and brighter than lantana flowers against the backdrop of the lanterns in the yard.

"Join the yamen?" Yayoi was slightly taken aback.

"Don't you know? The emperor sent an envoy to watch the wind and serve as the county captain temporarily for three months." Duan Sinan tilted his head to look at her.

Yayoi was really surprised this time.The county lieutenant is in charge of the militia and yamen in Fuliang County. If she is required to work for such an unpredictable person for three months, she might as well go back and marry the dying son of Pingwanghou's mansion!

Fortunately, she quickly accepted this fact, so the astonishment only flashed over her body.

"Why do you want me to be an official in Yingzhou?" Duan Sinan thought Yayoi couldn't speak anymore, but she didn't expect her to mention this matter again.

"Of course it's for the sake of the court." Duan Sinan smiled, "It's not a long-term thing for a talent like you to stay dormant in Fuliang County. If you are afraid of your father, I will protect you, so you can rest assured."

In the twilight, the silhouette of a lone bird flies by under the moonlight.The slightly cool wind blows, and the pungent and fragrant scent of lantana flowers surrounds the surroundings. Duan Sinan's eyes reflect the bright red brocade robe with the fragrance of flowers, and the ripples that appear give Yayoi a little illusion.

She was in a daze for a second, and she believed it.

She didn't even know who he was, and she didn't know how he knew about the discord in her family, but when he said he would let her rest assured, she was really relieved.

Yayoi lowered her eyes, "Let me think about it again."

The colorful fallen flowers in the yard were blown to pieces by the autumn wind, drifting around, and there was clearly a cold whirlpool hidden in the tranquility.Yayoi remembered that when she was young, her aunt took her and Wanmei to the temple fair on March [-]rd, and she asked for a lottery.The Miao Zhu looked at her and said to her aunt: "There are causes in the world, so don't worry too much about it. The girl's good fortune has a deep line. Although this lottery is extremely dangerous, it is full of vitality. It depends on whether she can get out of her obsession."

She sighed softly.

Miss Zhou's Pingting Courtyard is not far from Yingluo Pavilion. Compared with the depression and silence of Yingluo Pavilion, the Pingting Courtyard at this time can be said to be overcrowded.More than a dozen maidservants were busy in the small courtyard, taking care of the unconscious Zhou Yanyan. Some made medicine and others served tea. The division of labor was clear and orderly.

When Yayoi and his party walked into the yard, it seemed even more crowded.

She entered the room and glanced at the unconscious Zhou Yanyan.The woman's face was pale, lying on the couch, she was as fragile as a porcelain doll, she was pretty and charming, with thin cherry lips, and between her brows there was a strange beauty intertwined with clarity and melancholy.It seems that the second young lady of the Zhou family cared about her appearance, her already beautiful face was painted with pink rouge and brightly colored lip balm, making it even more dazzling.

If such a beautiful woman has a delicate and straightforward temperament, she will be loved by everyone.

Seeing Duan Sinan, a maid hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Mr. Duan." It seemed that he was very familiar with him.

"Lianqiao, how is your young lady?" Duan Sinan asked Yayoi with a sideways look.

Yayoi didn't expect that he just said that he was not lying to himself by saying that he stayed at Zhou's house, and it seemed that he was still a distinguished guest.

"Back to my son, the doctor just left and prescribed a prescription for the young lady. There will also be a doctor's wife doing acupuncture and moxibustion for the young lady every day. When will I wake up... we will see how he recovers."

Forsythia seemed to be a smart person, she considered every word and spoke clearly without saying a word.

Yayoi's cold eyes flicked across her respectful face.

"Catcher Shen, Lian Qiao is Miss Zhou's big maid, do you have any questions?" Duan Sinan suddenly turned his head to ask her, in his peach blossom eyes, there was a romantic look that could not be blocked by the night .

Yayoi was deep in thought, defenseless, her heart skipped a beat, and she nodded.

Duan Sinan turned his body slightly, and let Lianqiao walk in front of Yayoi.Yayoi was condensed and solemn, her brows and eyes were full of desolation, although she still had the expression of the ancient well, but it made people frightened for no reason.

Lian Qiao lowered her head, heard the majesty and alienation in the voice of the woman in front of her, and asked, "When did you find out that your lady fell off the Yingluo Pavilion?"

She thought for a while, "Three quarters of the unitary hour."

"Was there no one else in Yingluo Pavilion at that time?"

This time Lian Qiao answered quickly, "Since the madam passed away, the young miss liked to be quiet, so she sent more than half of the servants in the Yingluo Pavilion, except for the caretaker nurses in the courtyard and the kitchen, the maidservants in front of her were only slaves and Dongqing. That's all. Holly's mother is sick today, and she took half a day off."

"Where were you at that time?" Yayoi took half a step forward slightly.

Forsythia hesitated for a while. "Slave servant... Slave servant is decocting medicine for Miss in the small kitchen at the back of Yingluo Pavilion."

"Decoction?" Yayoi frowned. "What's wrong with Miss Zhou?"

"Miss..." Lian Qiao paused, and quickly glanced at Duan Sinan not far away.

Yayoi took this little action into her eyes, and her eyes became sharper.

Even with her head down, Lianqiao could still feel the terrifying chill, she lowered her head even lower, and said submissively, "Miss...Miss has not been sleeping well recently, so I asked my servant to use lantana flowers with cinnamon, coptis and sage Wu Teng decocted for sleep."
