Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 186 The second step

"What a coincidence?" The voice from above was sinister, clearly not believing her.

"It's no coincidence, it's the servant girl who risked her life," Su Yi quickly raised her hand, "In order to break free, the servant girl's hand was ground into a bloody mess, almost exposing the bones."

She didn't dare to look up, so she didn't see Uncle Yu looking sideways.

"The maid overheard the lady talking to her personal servant girl, and when she wanted to pass on the eavesdropping news to Su's mother, she found that Su's mother could not be found. After two days, she found out that Su's mother was being tortured by the lady. The maidservant was confessed. Mother Su didn't know the news that the maidservant brought now, and the lady didn't know that the maidservant was eavesdropping. This news must be of great use to Uncle Guo!" Su Yi spoke impatiently.

"Oh? What's the news?" Uncle Yu raised his eyes.

"I heard from my lady and her maid that Daoist Zhang sent news that my uncle Guo's sword wound has not healed, and told my lady to rest assured that they will definitely delay the trip and enter Beijing later than my lady." Su Yi said.

When Su Yi's words fell to the ground, it seemed that all the sounds in the study stopped abruptly, and the silence made people panic.

Su Yi raised her head in confusion, but Uncle Yu Guo didn't say a word, what does that mean?Is this news important or not?

She raised her eyes and saw that before the person sitting had opened her mouth, the person standing not far away did burst into laughter, as if what she said was not a secret, but a ridiculous joke.

The man almost burst into tears, "Uncle Guo, Pindao has been by your side for many years and has been loyal to you. This is obviously the little lady's scheme to sow discord, you won't believe it?"

Hearing this, Su Yi's face turned pale, and she looked at the sitting person, and saw that the person was also grinning, and raised her hand to stroke her beard, but the movement of raising her hand was a little stiff, as if the shoulders were not stretched. Comfortable in general.

"How could I believe her words? This is a divorce plan. If I believe it, I really am so much older than her!"

Hearing this, Su Yi felt a little unsteady, and hurriedly knelt down: "Everything I said is true, I really escaped with my life, and it was definitely not arranged by Mrs. Shen to provoke Uncle Guo!"

Yu Tai's eyes fell on Su Yi's pale face, the half-smile expression made Su Yi's heart feel like a thunderous drum.

"Uncle Guo, you must trust the servant girl! Everything the servant girl said is true!"

"No one says you're lying," Yu Tai said slowly, "You're just a fool who betrayed his master!"

Su Yi shivered, a little afraid to hear the next words.

"It's useless to keep such a stupid thing." While speaking, Uncle Yu slowly raised his head and looked at the person standing there. "What does Daoist Zhang think is the right way to deal with her?"

Hearing this, Zhang Mingzhi chuckled, "Uncle Guo Mingjian, Pindao has no second thoughts about you. Your sword wounds have been bad all the time, but it was the trick of that little lady! Pindao has been doing his best for you all the way. Heal the wound. Uncle Guo gave this little maid to the poor, and he trusted the poor."

Yu Tai nodded, "Of course I trust the Taoist priest, no matter how the Taoist priest treats her, I won't ask any more."

Zhang Mingzhi cupped his hands and bowed, "Thank you uncle Guo for your trust."

Su Yi heard the words, limp on the ground, without a trace of blood on her face, she shook her head again and again, "It's not like that, it's not like that...she doesn't know that I'm eavesdropping, she didn't let me out on purpose at all, what I said is true It's all true..."

She said in a panic, but Zhang Mingzhi pulled her up from the ground by the collar, as if he was carrying a chicken, he easily threw her on his shoulders, and carried her away.

"Uncle Guo, you have to believe me! I was eavesdropping outside the woods, and Mrs. Shen didn't know! How could she let me hear it on purpose? If she let me out of the house on purpose, how could she let me meet the night watchman again? Are you not afraid that I will not see Uncle Guo, that I will be imprisoned or wandered to other places? Uncle Guo..." Su Yi struggled on Zhang Mingzhi's shoulders, her eyes bulging out Red bloodshot.

Yu Tai has been sitting upright, sipping the tea in his hand, without saying a word.His deep eyes fell on Su Yi's pale and terrified cheeks, if it was really a way of alienation, why didn't he use Su Yi to tell Mama Su directly, and then Mama Su passed it in?Why bother?Su Yi is stupid, but what she said is not unreasonable...

If Mama Su said this, it is not enough to believe it, but now...

Zhang Mingzhi felt that she was too noisy, so he raised his hand and tapped an inch below her ear.

Su Yi felt sore, and opened her mouth again but couldn't make the slightest sound, her eyes widened in horror, and she kicked with hands and feet.But her resistance, in Zhang Mingzhi's view, was like a child's play.

"Lady," Dan Xin stepped forward, knelt down beside Shen Xiniang, lowered her head and said in a low voice, "They said they saw Su Yi's corpse."

Hearing this, Shen Xinniang stopped mixing the dyes and looked over.

Dan Xin's complexion was not very good, she frowned and said: "I heard that her death was... miserable."

It's more than miserable. Her corpse in the back mountain was completely naked. The blood from her lower body stained her two thighs, and there was almost no good meat left on her upper body.I heard that some internal organs leaked out from the lower body.

Dan Xin shuddered when she thought of the news brought back by the reporter.People outside Fang, shouldn't be very indifferent, how can they be so cruel?

I wonder if Su Yi regretted it when she was tortured to death?Regret that you betrayed your wife for your own glory and wealth?Regret that in order to climb up, climb back to the position next to the lady, plot against Zhou's mother, regret betraying the lady again and again for money?
"Understood." Shen Xiniang was silent for a moment before slowly speaking.

Dan Xin nodded, bowed and retreated.

Shen Xinniang pushed forward the dye she was mixing, as if she was out of mood.He raised his head and looked at the leaves outside the window, silently lost in thought.

Fang Yan did as he said, no matter how busy the business was, she would come back as soon as possible every day and have dinner with her.

Even if she has to go to other things after dinner, she will definitely appear in front of her during dinner.

"The net has been cast, and now, it's time to cast the bait." After the two finished eating, Shen Xinniang said slowly while taking the handkerchief handed over by the maid to wipe Fang Yan's hands.

Fang Yan looked up at her, "Did the maid you let go die?"

Shen Xinniang nodded.

Fang Yan lowered her eyes, "Who do you want to attack?"

"I want to meet Lu Bei."

"The eldest disciple of Huo Shan's Jingming sect, among the five guardians around Yu Tai, he is the only one who can rival Zhang Mingzhi." Fang Yan nodded slowly, "It's just that he is sensitive and suspicious. If you go to see him, I'm afraid you won't be able to win his trust. .”

Shen Xinniang said: "People always have weaknesses. As long as you grasp his weaknesses, there is no city defense that cannot be broken."

Fang Yan took the veil from her hand, and still gave it to the maid beside her. Looking into her eyes, she said, "Although that's the case, people have ulterior motives. If you go to see him, you may be in danger."

Shen Xinniang frowned slightly, "Dangerous?"

Fang Yan held her hand, "I don't want you to be in danger, you can't see him."

Hearing this, Shen Xinniang didn't speak in a hurry, she was silent for a moment, and then said: "I don't mind seeing him, but now there is such a suitable time to split the believers around Yu Tai, how can I let it go?"

Fang Yan lowered her eyes, and her eyes fell on her fair and long fingers. Her wrists were very thin and looked soft, but only after having played with her would she know that she was the most resilient, and her slender fingers were by no means weak.

"What are you going to do?" Fang Yan asked softly.

"You don't allow me to see him, I just don't see him. There is another person who can be trusted." Shen Xinniang said.

Fang Yan frowned slightly when he heard this, his face was a little displeased.

"Fang Yan, men shouldn't be too narrow-minded." Shen Xinniang said suddenly.

He raised his hand to hold her hand, exerted strength on his shoulders, brought her into his arms, hugged her lightly, and smelled the fragrance of her hair, "It depends on what it is."

Shen Xinniang sighed softly, "I've already said it, I'm to blame for that..."

"I don't want to hear it." Fang Yan interrupted her, "I will find a suitable person from the Huoshan faction, and it will be easier to win the trust of Lu Bei."

"That's good, but Huoshan is not close, and it will take a lot of time to go back and forth. The suitable candidate cannot be determined overnight. When it is time to find a credible person, the time has already been delayed." Shen Xinniang leaned in his arms. Said slowly.

Fang Yan didn't speak.

Shen Xinniang gently held his hand back, "You say, don't allow me to see Lu Bei, I will promise you, not only in danger, but not to see him. Now there is a suitable candidate, but because of a little past, you are arrested Don't let it go, isn't it a little too much?"

Fang Yan looked down at her, "Do you think I'm too much? Am I narrow-minded?"

Shen Xinniang suddenly wanted to laugh, but her face seemed to be used to being expressionless, "Then what do you think?"

"Ziyang is untrustworthy." Fang Yan reached out and slid his hand over her small nose, "You can't use him lightly."

"He and Zhang Mingzhi's younger brother, Huang Shuaiyin, came from the same school, and they don't know what their relationship is among them. However, when they met at the inn, Zhang Mingzhi was afraid of him. It may be speculated that the relationship between the two is not good." Shen Xinniang said slowly. Slowly analyzed, "Later, when Ziyang returned as a real person, he must have met Huang Shuaiyin, but he didn't say anything, and he didn't clean up the family. Do you think he and Huang Shuaiyin have a lot to do with each other?"

Fang Yan nodded slowly, "Even so, so what?"

"If Master Ziyang has a very close relationship with Huang Shuaiyin, but now Huang Shuaiyin is close to Zhang Mingzhi of the Maoshan Shangqing faction, there must be a rift between the three of them." Shen Xinniang said, "Use this suspicion to make Lu Bei believe in Master Ziyang, and if Master Ziyang can help Lu Bei and further gain Yu Tai's trust, surpassing Zhang Mingzhi's current status in front of Yu Tai, do you think the five guardians around Yu Tai can still get along in harmony?"

"This is just our wishful thinking. If it is implemented, there will be unpredictable changes." Fang Yan frowned, stroking her soft and smooth long hair, "I will not allow you to see Lu Bei, and I will not allow you to see Master Ziyang." .”

"Fang Yan, how can you be so unreasonable?" Shen Xinniang sat up from his arms, looking straight at him with black and white eyes.

"Do you realize now that I'm unreasonable?" Fang Yan chuckled lightly.

Shen Xinniang looked at his slightly pursed lips, knowing that such arguing was meaningless, both of them became stubborn, and the final result would definitely be a big fight.Now they are not children anymore, even if they disagree, they can't decide the winner with their fists as they did when they were young, and make all the servants laugh at them.

She snorted softly, got up and walked inside.
