Dreaming back to the Qing Dynasty: Die Luo Chuchen

Chapter 170
"What's up?"

Germa nodded, and looked outside worriedly.My heart moved, and I couldn't help asking: "You know what's going on, don't you? Where did Xiu'er go? Why isn't she here?"

She nodded again, as if she was very nervous, and finally spoke in blunt Chinese after several deep breaths, "Ma'am, Miss Xiu'er is Madam's entourage, I don't know whether I should say it, but I know Madam is a good person. "

"It's okay, you speak slowly." I persuaded patiently.

"Yesterday Xiu'er asked me where Zarile lived. I wondered what she wanted to do with Zarile. Later, when I was on duty at night, I saw Xiu'er leave the palace and go to Zarile's tent..." Xiu'er went to find What is Zarel doing?I became suspicious.Geerma continued: "...stayed until very late and didn't come back. Her clothes were messed up, and her face was not right. As soon as she came back, she entered the madam's bedroom. Not long after, I saw the adults come out with her. Let's go to the study together."

It seems that they really have something to hide from me... I went to the table and poured a cup of tea and sipped it. Listening to Geerma's words, I thought to myself, this Xiu'er is usually well-behaved and docile, doesn't she seem very scheming.

"This morning, I heard that Zari was strangled to death."

"Zari strangled to death!" I was extremely surprised.

She nodded, shaking all over. "I am his concubine, and I was sent to dispose of the corpse. He, he died horribly... Thank God, this devil finally deserved to die!"

It would be good if Zari strangled to death, so as not to worry about the note being leaked by him.I suddenly remembered that Xiu'er had begged Galdan to be her master last night, presumably because of the death of Zarile, no matter what her purpose was, she had done me a good deed.Xiu'er has a lot of face, to be able to move Galdan to kill such a big man.I really underestimated her.

"Is this what you want to talk about?" I asked lightly, these things didn't matter much to me at all.

"Ma'am, in the morning Galdan took people to the trading yard, and Xiu'er followed. I heard from the soldiers that they were going to arrest a Han merchant. It seems to be the place where Madam often goes..."

Catch Han merchants!The tea in my hand fell to the ground, my expression changed suddenly, I grabbed her by the shoulder and asked nervously: "Is it true? Are you sure? He, they really went to arrest Han merchants?"

"Yes, ma'am."

My heart was beating so fast, and my mind was so confused that I couldn't concentrate for a while.All right, why did Galdan suddenly lead someone to arrest Han merchants?Do you know something?I clutched my chest, a little out of breath.No wonder the atmosphere is not right today, so something really happened...

There must be a connection between Xiu'er's mysterious departure from the palace in the middle of the night, Zarile's accidental death, and the series of events that occurred today.What role does Xiu'er play in it? What is she going to do with Zarile?And the bruises on her body...

Countless questions hit me head-on like a huge wave, which made me feel a little bit untenable.

"Ma'am, are you okay?" Geerma hurriedly stepped forward to help me, "Ah, your hands are so cold! My little one, go get you some clothes!"
