Chapter 24 Zhu Zixin's Strategy
Guihuayuan, in the second aunt's room, Honggu is reporting the news she just heard to the second aunt.

"Oh? What did the master say?"

When Second Aunt heard this, she asked anxiously.

"The master said he didn't know either."

Hong Gudao, after finishing speaking, she looked at Second Aunt with a solemn expression.

"Do you think the master is telling the truth or a lie?"

The second aunt asked back.

"The slave does not know."

Aunt Hong answered honestly.

"It's been a few days since we moved to Guihuayuan after Madam died. You know, I sent someone to turn the place upside down and didn't find those things. If it wasn't for that bitch who hid Get up, I can't find it!"

As Second Aunt spoke, she grabbed the handle of the chair vigorously with her hands, wishing she could break the armrest of the chair, her tone was full of resentment.

"Oh! This servant understands! Husband... No, that bitch has a lot of tricks. This servant feels that she called you to the bedside before she died, saying that she wanted you to keep the dowry for that little bitch for her. It's coming, l's coming, but suddenly died, the servant was very sorry for you at the beginning, but now she understands that she didn't tell you where those things are hidden, she, she did it on purpose!"

Honggu suddenly wakes up from a dream, and she has a great understanding.

The second aunt gave her a helpless sideways glance, and said just now: "Even the master doesn't know, so where can those things go? This Hou's mansion is such a big place, could it be that she can hide them in the sky?" ?”

"That's right, that little slut kept telling Madam that you should give her the dowry. Didn't you not eat mutton, and instead caused a lot of trouble?"

Since Madam died, Miss Hong was called Madam Second Yiniang in a place where no one was around.

But at this time, the flattery was not a random slap, it was good that Hong Gu didn't say this, but when she said it, it made the second aunt angry, and she gave her an annoyed look.Seeing this, Hong Gu immediately felt that she had been flattered on the horse's hoof, she hurriedly shut her mouth, lowered her head, and silently made a gesture of slapping herself.I just hate myself for talking too much.

"Okay, that bitch has a lot of tricks, I don't blame you if you don't understand some things, go and pass on my words, let that person keep an eye on it, maybe that little bitch knows where the things are Yes, there is nothing more than one reason for her to do this, and that is the thief shouting "Stop the thief."

Second Auntie glanced at Hong Gu, then said softly.

"Yes Yes."

Hong Gu kept saying yes, and in a hurry, she obediently went down again.

Time passed quickly, and after reading the words in the small book in Dongli Garden for a day, I realized that it was getting late.

Zhu Zixin stood up, stretched, and called, "Xiao Cui, light the lamp."

"coming."

Xiaocui hurriedly responded, and went to light the lamp. Zhu Zixin felt her legs were numb from sitting, so she turned around and wanted to walk around. At this moment, she suddenly noticed a figure reflected in the window behind her.

Maybe it was because the candle was lit up just now, but the man didn't notice it at all.

The corners of his lips curved slightly, Zhu Zixin put the small book in his arms, deliberately pretended that he hadn't seen anything, walked to Xiao Cui and said, "Xiao Cui, I'll tell you a secret, you must never tell it to anyone. !"

Hearing this, Xiaocui's whole body tensed up immediately, and the hand that put the lampshade involuntarily shook a few times before she turned around and asked, "Xiao... Don't worry, miss, even if you risk your life, Xiaocui will Never dare to tell anyone!"

"Of course I don't worry about you, otherwise I won't tell you this secret, but you still swear, as the saying goes, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case, in case one day you are accidentally caught People arrested, and then, and then they forced you to speak out, then...you think so?"

As Zhu Zixin spoke, he glanced out of the window from the corner of his eye, and saw that the shadow was almost stuck on the window. It seemed that he really wanted to know what she wanted to say to Xiaocui.

Xiaocui didn't know what it was, so she hurriedly raised a hand and said: "If the servant betrays the young lady, I will let the servant strike five thunders from the sky, and I will die badly. If I die, I will go to the [-]th floor of hell."

"Okay, okay, I believe you!"

Zhu Zixin saw that he had done enough, so he said again.

Next, she deliberately leaned over to Xiaocui's ear as if to say something.

As a result, the person outside the house became even more anxious, so he stuck his head out again, but he still couldn't hear a single word.

"Miss, I didn't hear what you said."

At this time, Xiao Cui also said hastily.

It turned out that although Zhu Zixin leaned over to her ear, he only muttered for a while, but he didn't say anything useful.

Looking out of the window again, Zhu Zixin felt that the time had come, so he said, "Oh, your hearing is really bad, forget it, there are no outsiders here, so I'll just say it."

After finishing speaking, he pretended to open the door and looked around, then turned around and came back, closed the door, and said again: "Be careful, be careful that the walls have ears."

"Miss, can I speak now?"

Xiaocui's curiosity had been fully aroused by Zhu Zixin, and she asked anxiously.

Zhu Zixin nodded and said, "There is a rockery in the back garden, do you know?"

Xiaocui nodded repeatedly.

"There is a hole in the rockery."

Zhu Zixin said again.

Xiaocui nodded again hastily, and asked anxiously, "Miss, what exactly are you going to say?"

"Don't worry! This matter is too important, I have to make it clear."

But Zhu Zixin intentionally teased the person outside the window. After finishing speaking, he suppressed the smile in his heart, coughed twice, and said again: "After entering the hole, it's actually very big inside. I..."

After a pause, she purposely looked around again, and saw the black shadow shrinking suddenly, then she said again: "I buried something inside."

"Oh, miss, what's that?"

Xiao Cui couldn't wait to ask.

"Anyway, it's a very important thing, as long as you know it, don't ask too much, I will tell you when it's time to tell you."

After Zhu Zixin finished speaking, he quickly ran towards the window, opened the window, and saw a black shadow quickly passing the wall.

There was a smile on the corner of her lips, and then she went back to the room, pretending nothing happened, and continued to read the little book.

It was Madam's note, recording a story she never knew.

What the dead Zhu Zixin didn't understand until his death, is clearly in this little book.

That's why she insisted on going to Zhu Jing for a dowry.

Thirteen years ago, Cai Yun'er, the daughter of General Cai, who was in her prime, met Zhu Jing, the son of Zhu Cheng, then Jinyang Commander, during an outing.Fall in love with him at first sight.

After returning home, after inquiring in every possible way, I learned of Zhu Jing's life experience.She begged her mother to broker the marriage.

Cai's mother is also eager to love her daughter, and Zhu Jing is indeed a good-looking talent, Wentao Wulue, is a versatile person in both civil and military affairs, so she agreed.A matchmaker was invited to negotiate a match.

Zhu Jing's father, Zhu Cheng, was naturally very happy, and agreed immediately.Unexpectedly, Zhu Jing had already had another girl in his heart. That girl was born as a commoner, clothed in Jingchai, so naturally she didn't dare to tell her family, but the two of them had the same heart and deep feelings, and they couldn't help themselves. payment.When Zhu Jing learned of this, the girl was already pregnant.

He naturally refused to agree, and begged his father to withdraw from the marriage with Cai's family. Unexpectedly, Zhu Cheng was offended. In a rage, he locked him at home and was not allowed to go out. He personally took someone to the girl's house to fight Seeing that the Zhu family was powerful and powerful, they forced the girl's family to promise not to associate with Zhu Jing again. After he left, the whole village knew about things that no one knew before. People point and point, and then... She couldn't stand it anymore, so she threw herself into the river!
Seeing this, Zhu Zixin also felt sorry for the girl, but Cai Yun'er couldn't be blamed for it, she didn't know anything at all, Zhu Jing put all the blame on her head, it shouldn't be too much!

No wonder the situation between the husband and wife came to that kind of situation. Thinking about it carefully, it is indeed embarrassing.

The story is not over yet, but Zhu Zixin still has one important thing to do.

Thinking of this, her eyes became sharper, and she said coldly: "Xiao Cui, sleep!"

After speaking, he walked to the bed, kicked off his shoes and went to bed to lie down.

After finishing this series of actions, Xiaocui just realized it, and hurriedly ran to lower the bed curtain for her, and blew out the candle.Backed away lightly.

Lying quietly on the bed, Zhu Zixin didn't get up until she was sure that Xiao Cui had fallen asleep, put on the black clothes, and walked towards the Guihua Garden without a sound.

In Guihua Garden, Miss Hong was serving the second aunt with medicine. Zhu Zixin leaned over the roof and looked down. Seeing that everything was as she expected, the corners of her lips curled up. After the second aunt fell asleep, the room A thing slowly fell from the top, with a hook on it, it circled around Hong Nu's hair, and then snatched away a hairpin in her hair, but Hong Gu didn't know it at all, and covered it for Second Auntie. Good quilt, put down the bed curtain, and then went to the outer room in peace.

At this time, Zhu Ziqi hurried all the way to the second aunt's door in a panic, knocked on the door and said, "Mother, open the door, my daughter has something to say."

Seeing this, Hong Gu ran out in a hurry.

"Second Miss, Madam has already fallen asleep, what's your business, let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Honggu, get out of the way, I have an urgent matter to find my mother, it is very important."

Aunt Hong glanced at the room through the window, and whispered: "Madam has not been able to sleep well recently, and just drank soothing soup to sleep, if Miss wakes her up at this time, I'm afraid she won't be able to sleep well tonight." .”

"This……"

Hearing this, Zhu Ziqi walked around anxiously, and said helplessly, "In this case, I will tell you about it, but you must keep it a secret, and tell her immediately when my mother wakes up tomorrow. Don't miss a moment, remember?"

"Miss, don't worry, this servant will definitely pass on your words."

Only now did Honggu realize the seriousness of the matter, her expression immediately became serious, and she responded.

"Aunt Hong..."

With a cry, Zhu Ziqi looked around, then leaned over and whispered something in Hong Gu's ear.Hong Gu's face was surprised for a while, happy for a while, and then nodded again and again in agreement.
