Rebirth of the concubine's scheming

Chapter 93

There was a patter of rain in the sky, and the people on the street were all rushing home. No one paid attention to the carriage that had been parked for a long time in the alley and the driver who had been lying dead in the carriage for a long time.

As the sky gradually darkened, Qing Ya and other places in Gu's mansion became a little anxious. The young lady left for an afternoon and didn't come back. She went to the young master's yard in person. What to eat, I said I would go to Nanshi to bring some back, but I haven't delivered it yet.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, Qing Ya took an umbrella and went to the gate to wait. Seeing that the young master and the third master had come back, but the lady was not coming back, Er Dong took the food box from the kitchen and came to the gate, "Miss never I've never come back so late, Sister Qingya, should I go to Nanshi to see, maybe it's raining too much, Miss wants to come back later."

"You go to Madam's place, and send two people to go together." Qing Ya remembered that when Yin Huan went out, she asked Miss Cheng to go to Qianyu Pavilion to look at jewelry, "I'll go to Qianyu Pavilion to see." After finishing speaking, Qing Ya Bud rushed into the rain with an umbrella.

At night, the lanterns on both sides were extinguished by the rain, the road was muddy and wet, Qing Ya looked at the carriage that occasionally hurried past, and even glanced at it, it was not Gu Fu's.

When we arrived at the entrance of Qianyu Pavilion, the rain had already soaked half of our trouser legs, and there was no customer in the shop. Shopkeeper Chen and two shop assistants were checking out, and when they saw Qingya put away their umbrellas and came in, they were stunned for a while before they realized, " Miss Qing Ya, but Miss missed something."

"Shopkeeper Chen, what time does the lady leave in the afternoon?" Qing Ya didn't care about the wetness of her feet, she knew the lady's temperament, she wouldn't go home so late without saying hello.

"Miss sent Miss Cheng out and got into the carriage by herself." Qing Ya's heart sank after hearing what the shopkeeper said about the time, hoping that Er Dong and the others could find the lady who was hiding from the rain in Nanshi.

"Thank you, shopkeeper Chen. Maybe it's because the lady hid from the rain and returned home later. I'm too impatient." Qing Ya smiled, opened her umbrella and went back to Gu's house. It was already half an hour later when she arrived at Gu's house. , Mrs. Mu sat on a chair in the Bauhinia Court without saying a word, seeing her come in like this, "Hurry up and change your clothes first."

"Ma'am, Miss left Qianyu Pavilion in the evening." Qing Ya hurriedly changed her clothes and came back and said, Mrs. Mu nodded, and Gu Yixin and Er Dong came back after a while, Mrs. Mu suddenly got up, but There was no familiar figure behind Gu Yixin.

Gu Yixin held the gold bracelet that fell from Yin Huan's hand in his hand, his face was slightly gloomy, "Auntie, please come with me."

Mrs. Mu's heart sank immediately, and she walked out. A carriage was parked in the backyard of Gu's family. The heavy rain hit the roof of the carriage vigorously. Gu Yixin tore open only half of the curtain, and the driver's body suddenly appeared in the carriage. , Siqi hurriedly supported Mu Shi who had fainted for a while, Mu Shi looked at the feet protruding from the carriage, and asked in a trembling voice, "Where is Yin Huan?"

"Auntie, we went to the shop selling pickled fruits in Nanshi. He said that Seventh Sister had been there, but when we left, it was still dark and it wasn't raining at that time. We looked for it on every road in the house. After searching again, I finally found this carriage in an alley, and Seventh Sister and her maid were gone, only this bracelet was left."

"Madam! Madam... wake up!" Mrs. Mu collapsed down...

Yin Huan heard the sound of heavy rain beating on the tiles outside the house, and the sound of the wind sweeping the branches. She slowly opened her eyes and found herself leaning on an old wooden bed. , I was relieved to see the two people dressed in good condition.

Turning his head to look at the door, it was already pitch black outside the window made of wooden bars, and in this silent night, everything around him seemed terrifying.

Yin Huan called out to Xi Nuan softly, but there was no sign of waking up. Gu Fu should know about his disappearance at this time, but how would they find him in this weather.

The heavy rain seemed to wash away all the evidence, and it kept washing the car marks on the road. Apart from the sound of rain, Yin Huan heard no other sound. Yin Huan walked to Xi Nuan's side and gently pushed the straw.

"Miss..." Xi Nuan slowly opened her eyes, Yin Huan helped her up to the bedside, "Xi Nuan, do you remember anything?"

Xi Nuan shook his head, "After they stunned the lady, they dragged me into the car together. After a while, another person also used that thing to stun me, and I don't remember anything after that."

"Then did you hear what they said?"

"It seems to be asking whether you want to bring me with you, and one of them said to bring them all, lest I go back and report the news." Xi Nuan thought for a while and said, Yin Huan got up and walked to the window carefully to take a look outside, his heart sank suddenly, then Outside the window under the heavy rain, there is a large forest, and they seem to be in the attic, Yin Huan is leaning against the wall, if it is just kidnapping and extorting, why did they kill the coachman so cruelly, no one should be left behind Report the letter to pay the ransom?

It's not asking for money, it's asking for life.

Yin Huan squatted by the wall, hugging her knees and thinking, there are many people who don't like her and are jealous of her, but there are not many people who hate her enough to kill her, and there are still her portraits handed over to the kidnappers. She didn't go out to recover from her injuries, they must have been waiting for a long time.

"Miss." Xi Nuan yelled, and Yin Huan signaled her to keep quiet. She had to figure out who would get the most benefit in this matter. After she died, the mother would not adopt the child. Except for Aunt Qian, no one would have such great hostility towards this matter, but Aunt Qian died.

Something flashed in Yin Huan's mind, if she died, then her marriage with Young Master Su would not work, even the imperial decree would not allow him to marry a dead person, then others would have a chance...

Yin Huan was taken aback by his flashing thought, murdering her own life in order to marry Su Qianmo, wouldn't this be too risky, but it wasn't that sister Cheng said before that the Seventh Princess was instigated to come here It seems that it is because of him that he makes trouble for himself.

Tired of squatting, Yin Huan stood up and looked out the window, when suddenly a person appeared in front of the window, looking down at her, Yin Huan's heart trembled, and he clasped his hands behind his back trying to keep calm, and said for a long time, "Who asked you to kidnap me?" Yes, how much he has done to you."

The man just looked at her deeply, Yin Huan said again, "How much money he pays, I will double it with you."

"1000 taels, he bought your life, we don't accept your payment." The man said slowly, "So you should just stay here."

Yin Huan watched him turn and leave, without even a chance to stop, Xi Nuan behind hurried over to support her, "Miss."

Buying her life, her life was worthless in the previous life, but in this life someone will pay a high price to kill her, shouldn't she laugh, it's much more valuable now.

"Miss, what should we do?"

"If you're lucky, you won't die. If you're unlucky, Xi Nuan will die with you." Yin Huan turned to look at her apologetically.

Xi Nuan shook her head, "Miss will not die, the young master will come to find you and save you from leaving."

Yin Huan listened to the heavy rain, even if the elder brother wanted to look for it, there was no trace after the heavy rain, maybe the employer couldn't wait for her to die, those few people didn't do anything, they were just waiting for someone to come down command?

"Miss, why don't we escape, you go first, Xi Nuan pretends to be you and stays here." Xi Nuan pulled her to another window, Yin Huan pointed to the shed under the window, and stood up. A man dozing with his head bowed.

"How come they didn't think of what we can think of." She was also afraid, if she was afraid, they could let them go, but here, it would be useless in front of them.

The dilapidated house gradually began to leak water. Yin Huan looked at the puddle slowly forming on the straw pile, picked up a chipped cup from the table beside him, washed it against the low water, and took a full cup Settle on the table.

"Miss, what is this for?"

"Drink." Yin Huan took two more cups and put them away in the same way. She didn't want to freeze to death and starve to death before being killed. She wanted to thank her second sister. In her previous life, she was often locked up in the woodshed and had nothing to eat , It is just like this to catch the rootless water to survive.

Yin Huan kept busy, kept looking for something that could catch water, and didn't let herself stop. Once she stopped, the fear in her heart would entangle her crazily. There were murderous robbers outside, and she and Xi Nuan With no strength to restrain the chicken, he could do nothing but wait for rescue, not even escape.

It was getting brighter, and the rain stopped in the middle of the night. Yin Huan forced himself not to think about how dirty the roof tiles were. He looked at the sediment in the cup, filtered it, drank a cup, and looked out the window. The sky is getting brighter and brighter, it's really funny, the rain has stopped now...

Lin'an City, which has experienced a heavy rain, is full of beauty everywhere, but the atmosphere in Gu's mansion is very tense. The brothers of the Gu family divided into several ways to find clues, and braved the heavy rain to inquire all night. At that time, a few carriages were running out of the city in the rain. They ran very fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye. The carriages were not official.

Gu Yixin glanced at his second brother, "Have you gone to Cheng Cheng's house?"

"I've been there. Miss Cheng arrived home not long after she left Qianyu Pavilion." The disappearance of Miss Gu's family is not something that can be publicized everywhere. Seeing that Miss Cheng was not clear about it, Gu Yishou didn't say much, "Brother, if Kidnapping Seventh Sister to ask for money, why no one came to deliver the letter."

"The coachmen are all dead, so they shouldn't be asking for money." Gu Yixin shook his head, "Since I heard the news in the north of the city, you go to the suburbs in the north of the city to have a look, and come back as soon as you have news."

After thinking about it for a while, Gu Yixin decided to go to Cheng Mansion again.

Cheng Bi'er stayed up all night last night, and the second young master from Gu's family who came to inquire was too strange. He asked her when she would arrive home. Could it be that something happened to Yin Huan who left the shop at the same time as her.

As soon as she heard that the servant came to report to see the young master of the Gu family, Cheng Bier quickly asked someone to invite him in, and the first thing she said when they met was, "Did something happen to Yin Huan?"

Gu Yixin frowned, and looked at her thoughtfully, "Does Miss Cheng know anything?"

"What can I know? Yesterday, the second young master of the Gu family came to ask me when I would be home, so I wondered if Yin Huan hadn't returned home. If you came back early in the morning, something must have happened to Yin Huan!" Cheng Bi'er started walking around the room after speaking. , muttering words in his mouth.

"The coachman was killed, and both Yin Huan and the maid are missing." Gu Yixin caught a glimpse of the bracelet in her hand that was exactly the same as Yin Huan. He had heard from his wife that such a bracelet was only given to her closest relatives by Seventh Sister. She also has one, but the pattern on it is different, so she pondered.

"What did you say!" Cheng Bi'er suddenly asked loudly, "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and find someone."

"I only know that the kidnapped carriage is heading towards the north of the city. There is nothing suspicious in Lin'an City. It rained heavily last night." Seeing that she didn't know, the anxiety on Gu Yixin's face should not be feigned. When he wanted to leave, Cheng Bier stopped him. "Brother Gu, I'm just guessing, you can go to the Qi Mansion to see about Yin Huan's disappearance."

Gu Yixin paused, then nodded lightly, "Thank you, Miss Cheng."

After Gu Yixin left Cheng Bier and stood there for a while, with a look of confusion on his face, he finally made a decision, ran back to his room, picked up a brocade box on the shelf, and soon went out, got into the carriage and said, " Go to the Prince's Mansion!"...
