The sky was getting darker and darker. Some of the nursing staff outside the Green Smoke Garden were playing leaf cards with their colleagues, while others began to take a nap under a certain eaves corner.
Everyone is lazy in their own way, and they can be regarded as extremely careless about the vigil. After all, the Zhou Mansion is in a state of turmoil, and everyone thinks that the Zhou Mansion is about to be disbanded, and there is no old housekeeper. Without the constraints, how can a group of people have the intention to continue to interfere in the Zhou family's troubles.
However, even if they were closely guarded, as long as they did not enter the house to patrol, Wang Cai could actually take away Zhou Yaoniang smoothly. After all, he came down from the back mountain. There is no defense in the back hill.
Although Xinghua didn't plan to leave with Wang Cai, she still followed Wang Cai to the backyard cautiously.
Several maids and women in the backyard were fast asleep.
So they don't have to worry about running into them.
Wang Cai left a rope on the wall of the backyard. The rope was directly connected to the big camphor tree above, so Wang Cai only had to climb up the rope.
However, it was Zhou Yaoniang who was in trouble. After all, she was still unconscious at the moment and could not take the initiative to climb out of the yard.
But this is not difficult for Wang Cai.
He glanced at Xinghua, then whispered a few words to Xinghua, and then climbed up the back mountain first.
After Wang Cai climbed up the back mountain, the first thing he did was to immediately throw the rope he had just climbed to Xinghua. After Xinghua took the rope, she immediately tied it to Zhou Yaoniang. After getting the rope, she just fixed Zhou Yaoniang's shoulders first. When everything was ready, she pushed Zhou Yaoniang towards Wang Cai.
She pushed hard, Wang Cai tried hard to pull her up, and Zhou Yaoniang was also pushed up little by little.
However, when Zhou Yaoniang was about to be sent up, a scolding sound suddenly came from not far away, "Who is there?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Cai was so frightened that he almost sent Zhou Yaoniang down again. Fortunately, he grasped the rope tightly at the critical moment.
At this moment, Xinghua quickly blew out the candle.
There are no stars or moon tonight.
Without candlelight, people would not be able to see clearly.
Suddenly, the people in the corridor could no longer see clearly what was going on here.
Although she held a lamp in her hand, the weak light could only illuminate the little path under her feet.
Before she came over, Xinghua immediately picked up the extinguished light and headed in her direction.
Xinghua deliberately let her hair loose, and her disheveled hair slowly floated in her direction.
The old woman wanted to go to the other side to see clearly what was going on there.
She didn't want to think that she had just stepped down the steps when a white-clothed Ah Piao suddenly appeared in front of her. A Piao in white had long flowing hair, and her hair basically covered her face.
No one could see clearly what was behind her hair.
The autumn nights are very cold, and the cool wind blows through the yard. It's even more heart-wrenching.
The woman didn't have time to see clearly what happened to Ah Piao. She screamed, and then she was so frightened that she threw the lamp and hid in the house.
As soon as she returned to the house, she immediately closed the door heavily, and she only used her back to hold the door silently.
Others were awakened by her actions. Some people couldn't help but cursed, "You can't let anyone sleep. Why are you making such a big noise this late at night?"
The reprimanded mother-in-law just said in a daze, "There is... there is a ghost!"
"What's the matter?" someone asked in a daze.
The woman immediately said, "There is really a ghost in the yard! When I was getting up to go to the toilet at night, I saw the ghost dragging something. I didn't see clearly at the time, so I thought someone was stealing something. So I reprimanded the ghost at that time."
"But after that, a female ghost in white suddenly appeared next to me. She seemed to want to do something to me. I ran back immediately. If you don't believe it, why don't any of you come with me to see it again?
Do you know if I lied? ".
I don’t want to hear what the mother-in-law said, but someone is really curious. A maid jumped down and said, "If there are ghosts these days, let me go and see with you!"
As soon as the voice fell, the maid went down.
When the others saw the maid going down, they followed her curiously and said, "I'll go and see the excitement too."
After a while, the four people in the room fell asleep. Everyone just wanted to go outside to see what the ghost looked like.
However, when they arrived at the courtyard, Wang Cai had already carried Zhou Yaoniang to the back mountain, and Xinghua had also returned to the courtyard early.
So when others came out, they saw nothing.
They held candlelight for a while, but the courtyard was empty.
Therefore, those who made a false alarm only blamed the woman for making a fuss and disturbing their sleep.
In the end, only the woman was still insisting that she had really seen a ghost. However, no one saw any movement, so naturally no one believed her.
The mother-in-law stood at the door and talked for a while, but she also felt that maybe everything just happened was just her illusion.
She herself felt bored. After talking for a while, she went back to sleep.
The next morning.
The sky just started to light up, and people got up in a hurry.
However, when they were cleaning the outer courtyard as usual, Xinghua came out in a hurry. She only said to the others, "Have you seen Miss?"
Everyone naturally shook their heads.
Xinghua then shouted to the door, "The lady is missing."
After the words fell, someone came in to check at the door, only to find that Zhou Yaoniang was really missing.
Some people were panicked, while others curiously asked, "Xinghua, weren't you the one who always stayed by the lady's side? You should tell me honestly whether you hid the lady?"
However, facing the man's question, Xinghua just said helplessly, "How could I hide the young lady? I am resting in this yard like you, I am locked up in this yard like you, where do you think I am going?" Go hide people!"
While the people in the green smoke garden were arguing endlessly, Fang Yue'er came belatedly at this time. She was wearing more colorful clothes today. They were all Zhou Yaoniang's clothes and jewelry. Even one of her maids only had a Followed by a maid.
Looking at her posture, people who don't know may think that she is the mistress of the family.
Fang Yue'er Shi Shiran stood at the door and said, "What are you arguing about here?"
Seeing Fang Yue'er coming, the people in the room, including the nurse outside, didn't dare to speak.
No one wants to take on this responsibility.
Only Xinghua looked at Fang Yue'er with piercing eyes and said, "Madam is missing! We can't find her."
Hearing this, Fang Yue'er naturally didn't believe it, "How is that possible? This yard is surrounded like an iron barrel. Xinghua, aren't you playing some tricks on me?"
However, facing Fang Yue'er's question, Xinghua just said seriously, "What I said is true. My wife is really missing. Otherwise, what do you think they were arguing about? If you still don't believe it, you can go and see for yourself." "
Facing Xinghua's serious look, Fang Yue'er looked over with suspicion.
Then entering the house, she saw that the house was empty.
Her first reaction at the time was whether Xinghua had hidden the person.
Therefore, the look she looked at Xinghua at the moment was not very polite: "Xinghua, where did you hide your wife?"
Faced with Fang Yue'er's question, Xinghua immediately said angrily, "You asked me where I hid the person, and I also want to ask you where you hid the person? Madam has been recuperating well in her own yard. Why should I hide her? Besides, you and my uncle have fenced off this yard. Even if I want to hide people, where can I hide them?"
Hearing Xinghua's words, Fang Yue'er felt that what the other party said made sense, so she stopped questioning Xinghua. She just ordered the people around her to quickly search for Zhou Yaoniang's figure in the yard.
The current situation is naturally nothing.
What she got was just when Fang Yue'er was curious about where Zhou Yaoniang had gone.
The woman who was frightened by Xinghua last night suddenly stood up tremblingly and said, "Mrs., must she have been dragged away by a ghost?"
Fang Yue'er just sneered after hearing this, "If there are really ghosts, they should drag you with them."
However, the woman then said, "Miss Yue'er, what I said is true. I really saw those ghosts. I bumped into a ghost last night, and the ghost took something with him to the Langshan Mountain behind!" Now that I think about it, I suspect that ghosts might have taken the lady away."
Hearing this, Fang Yue'er seemed to remember something, and she immediately walked towards the back mountain.
After roughly seeing the terrain here, she only took a closer look at the traces of new soil falling on the ground.
In just a moment, she finally understood everything.
She directly said to Xinghua, "Come here, take this girl into custody!"
Then she just said to the other team of guards, "Hurry up and take a team of people to search the Langshan Mountain behind."
Xinghua wanted to speak at the moment, but Fang Yue'er just told Xinghua to shut up immediately.
"You think I will be fooled. You must have hooked up with an outsider last night and sent your wife away on purpose. Although I don't know what your intentions are, there is no way I can keep you, a treacherous girl like you. "
After she finished speaking, without waiting for Xinghua to defend herself, she immediately ordered the people around her to gag Xinghua's mouth, and her hands and feet were tied up.
After doing this, she couldn't talk or run.
Everything can only be left to her and Xu Tianyi to reverse right and wrong.
And looking at such apricot blossoms, Fang Yue'er felt very happy.
She dropped the sentence "Waiting for the master to be punished."
Then she went to the house.
After entering the house, Fang Yue'er's upright and awe-inspiring face completely disappeared.
She couldn't wait to enter the inner room and open the dowry in Zhou Yaoniang's box.
White silver, sparkling jewelry.
Fang Yue'er was very excited when she saw it.
It's all hers! It's all hers!
And now that both the master and servant were gone, Fang Yue'er felt that she would be the mistress of Green Smoke Garden from now on.
