With a bang, a pebble rolled to the foot of the green branch.
Cuizhi was startled and subconsciously lowered her head to look, but before she could see clearly, someone behind her suddenly stretched out a hand and covered her mouth and nose!
Cuizhi was shocked, whining and struggling, trying hard to break the man's arm with her hands, but the man behind her was very strong, and she couldn't break free at all, and was dragged all the way to the shadow of the corner...
Zhuoxiangyuan.
Heng Wu made the bed and said, "Our first day in Wei Mansion has passed peacefully."
Li Qingyi took off two earrings and said with a smile, "It's too early for you to be happy."
Heng Wu was confused: "Did I miss something?"
"Is that girl named Cuizhi back?"
Heng Wu went to the door and asked, then came back and reported to Li Qingyi: "I'm not back yet... Miss, is something wrong? How about I ask someone to go out and look for her? It's getting late."
Li Qingyi nodded: "Let me ask."
Heng Wu quickly called the girl who came with Cuizhi today, "Cuizhi went to the third wife's yard and hasn't come back yet. You are familiar with all the places in the house. Go out and look for something. Don't worry. "
The girls took the order and went quickly.
Not long after, a little girl came in panting and reported, "Miss Li, Cuizhi..."
"Still silent!"
The second lady's voice came, and the girl immediately swallowed the words she was about to say, and stood aside calmly, "Second lady."
Li Qingyi quickly stood up and saluted: "Second Madam, it's so late, why are you here?"
The second lady's eyes lingered on Heng Wu's clothes for a moment, and she said with a smile: "That girl named Cuizhi accidentally fell into the pond with her hairy hands and feet. I was afraid that you would be scared if you knew about it, so I came to see you."
Li Qingyi exclaimed: "Why did you fall into the pond? Are you okay?"
"She's fine, don't worry. She just choked on her saliva and was frightened. I called her family over and took her out of the house to recuperate. Tomorrow I'll pick out someone with smart hands and feet to help you."
Li Qingyi said quickly: "As long as everything is fine, thank you Madam Second for thinking about me."
"As long as you are a little girl, you are not scared. The third brother and sister are the same. You are asking the girl to choose a pattern at such a late hour!"
Li Qingyi said warmly: "The third lady is also afraid of wronging me, so she is anxious to add something to my place."
After hearing this, the second lady looked at her intently, patted her hand, and said happily: "Good boy, you are really sensible. Then you can go to bed early, I will go back first."
"Second Madam, walk slowly."
After closing the door, Heng Wu's face turned pale, "Girl..."
Li Qingyi said with a sullen face, "Ask Han Jiang to come in."
Heng Wu quickly called someone in.
Han Jiang, who has always been steady, couldn't help but feel a little disobedient at this time: "The slave was listening to the noise outside the courtyard at the girl's request. When there was chaos in the pond, the slave clearly heard that the green branch was drowned! But just now the slave was casual I dragged a few little girls to ask, and they all said that Cuizhi was not dead, he just choked on the water and was sent out of the house to recuperate!"
"This is a gag order from the government, telling them not to tell the truth to us!"
Heng Wu's legs felt a little weak and he almost fell to the ground.
"It was dark just now, and Cuizhi's figure is very similar to mine. Someone must have regarded her as a slave, so they killed her..."
Jianlan helped her up, and now she understood, "Is there someone who wants to attack some of us? The girl just asked Cuizhi to change into Hengwu's clothes. Didn't she expect that?"
Li Qingyi snorted coldly, "You are the loyal and powerful people around me. If they want to control me, they will naturally break my arms first. You are equivalent to my eyes and ears. Without you, I will be blind. In the future, they will say What is what is.”
Heng Wu was almost killed, and his voice was trembling: "It's only our first day here, but they are so cruel..."
Silan said bitterly: "It's just because it was just the first day and everyone thought everything was fine, so they relaxed their vigilance. It couldn't be easier to take action!"
Li Qingyi clenched his palms tightly. In the previous life, Hengwu was like this.
Even if she avenged Heng Wu later, she would not be able to save Heng Wu's life.
How could she let Heng Wu get into trouble again in this life?
And that Cuizhi was just a wallflower who had fallen into disgrace. He had bullied her a lot in his previous life.
This time, she was used to pay for Heng Wu's life, which was regarded as repaying the debt from the previous life.
Heng Wu asked: "Girl, why did the Wei family do this? What is the purpose of the princess bringing you here? Tell the servants something, so that we can know better in the future and help the girl take precautions!"
Li Qingyi took a long breath, calmed down, and said to the girls: "You are all smart girls, and you must have noticed it today. My mother is surrounded by enemies, and Wei Shicheng has gradually become cold to her. She doesn't want to lose her status. Power, that’s why he took me here.”
"Bring the girl here...is it possible?" Heng Wu was halfway through his words, feeling frightened and sad at the same time, and couldn't continue.
Isatis was even more angry and burst into tears: "She is the girl's biological mother after all, how could she be so cruel!"
Li Qingyi sneered, "She's not cruel, and she wouldn't have left my father and me to marry a young and romantic top scholar, right?"
Heng Wu thought about it, "Everyone in the Wei family is a pot of fire in the open and a knife in the dark. Who is paying attention to what happened today?"
"The one who ordered people to be sent to Zhuoxiang Courtyard was Mrs. Wei. The one who sent Cuizhi to serve was the Second Madam. The one who came to ask people out was the Third Madam. Tell me, whose idea is this? "
The girls looked at each other.
Han Jiang hesitated and said: "Perhaps they just want to make us unsure, so they act like this... Or maybe everyone in the Wei family has the same idea and is cooperating with each other?"
"Anyway, you just need to know one thing." Li Qingyi looked at them and said in a deep voice: "Everyone in this Wei Mansion is our enemy!"
There was an innocent soul in the pond of the Wei Mansion, but this incident did not affect anyone in the manor.
The Youth Banquet is approaching, and all the houses have begun preparations early, and the Wei family is no exception.
The eldest princess of Deqing, apart from the emperor, is one of the only people in the royal family who has the right to speak. She can represent the royal family. Everything that happens at the Youth Banquet, and even every word said, will flow to Beijing. every corner.
If you can get a compliment from the eldest princess of Deqing, your reputation will be spread and your net worth will be doubled.
The daughters of the Wei family came over and asked Li Qingyi to help them choose jewelry and clothes, and their words were full of intimacy.
On the night before the Fanghua Banquet, Li Qingyi called Heng Wu over and said, "Don't forget to bring the two identical clothes I asked you to prepare when you go to Chonghua Palace tomorrow."
"Don't worry, girl, I've already packed the things you'll need tomorrow."
