Chapter 590: The Maid’s Unimproved Relative

The place where Shao Yanru and Qiu Yu met was in a Buddhist temple not far away. This was the Buddhist temple closest to the courtyard. There were two lights hanging at the door of the small Buddhist temple. It was dark at night, and it was very dark. There is nothing conspicuous about these two lamps.

When Yu Jie helped Shao Wanru come here, Shao Wanru couldn't walk anymore. She stretched out her hand to press her feet and looked at the Buddhist temple, feeling a little hesitant.

"Miss, let's go in and sit for a while and then leave in a while. Your leg is hurt. It's not convenient to keep walking like this!" Yu Jie stretched out her hand to support her and said, Shao Wanru leaned half of his body on her. Although he walks with a slight limp, he wouldn't notice it if he wasn't paying attention in the dark.

Besides, there's no one around here.

"It's too dark inside, and we don't have any lights!" Shao Wanru said as he looked at the closed door.

"Miss, we just want to take a rest and don't want to do anything. It doesn't matter if we sit inside. If you are afraid, I will tell you a few stories. When the lady is done resting, we will leave and go back!" Yu Jie supported Shao Wanru and advised. .

After moving his half-hanging feet, Shao Wanru thought for a while and could only say: "Okay, let's sit down for a while and then leave!"

"Yes, we will sit down for a while and then leave. Don't worry, Miss!" Yu Jie helped Shao Wanru into the dark hall and then disappeared inside.

A man in black flashed past, looked at the main hall, and slipped in through the door of the main hall where the two people entered without making a sound.

How could the two women in the inner courtyard notice him? The man in black was lying on the beam of the hall, looking down, but he didn't notice that there was another shadow like smoke coming in behind him at the door. the main hall, and then disappear into other beams.

It was very dark in the main hall. Shao Wanru held Yu Jie's hand and walked a few steps and didn't want to leave.

Yujie helplessly helped her to sit in front of a stool behind the gauze curtain. Shao Wanru's heavy breathing could be heard in the darkness.

I don’t know if it’s because of fear or because my feet hurt.

The front of the Buddhist hall was covered with veils, but there was still a gap in the corners of the Buddhist hall. Yu Jie settled Shao Wanru, and then she casually sat on the corner of the pulled gauze curtain.

She originally came out of the temple and felt particularly at ease here.

After sitting down, he smiled and said, "Miss, what kind of story do you want to hear?"

"Whatever, as long as it's festive!" Shao Wanru's breathing had calmed down at this time, and she thought softly and said softly.

"Whatever! Think about it, slave. Oh, yes, is it possible to tell a story about the number one scholar?" Yu Jie asked with a smile, her voice was particularly clear in the darkness.

"Of course it's possible, just tell me!" Shao Wanru's voice sounded thin and gentle in the hall.

"Okay, that slave said it, please listen carefully..." Yu Jie's voice was also very low. There were only two people in the hall, so it was quiet. The louder the voice was, there was some echo, and it deepened in the night, making people scared. Mood.

Yu Jie's voice was not loud and her speech was very slow. She didn't know if she wanted to recall something. She would stop and think for a long time from time to time. This period of time was a blank period. Fortunately, Shao Wanru still listened very carefully. Even if Yu Jie Jie did not interrupt her when she was silent.

In fact, this story is not pleasant at all. It is pieced together and seems to be impossible to put together in a short time, so you have to think about it carefully. It is just a trick to deceive a lady from an aristocratic family who has no knowledge.

The two men in black on the beam were quite disapproving.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from outside the Buddhist temple, which immediately broke the tranquility here. The footsteps of the visitor were hurried, and it could be heard that they were coming here. The maid's voice stopped immediately. The master and the servant seemed a little panicked, and the maid stood up. He squeezed to his master's side.

It was dark at night, so it was inevitable that the two women would be a little panicked.

The door of the main hall had not been closed since they entered. This time it was pushed open a little further, and a man strode in. After entering, he walked directly to the front.

He walked to the Buddha statue in the middle, took out the fire folding bag, illuminated the scene in front of him, and lit a small Buddhist lamp.

Immediately there was a bright area in front of the Buddha.

The man in black looked at the man below cautiously. His back was turned to this side, and he couldn't tell who it was for a while.

He didn't look back, he just looked at the Buddha statue in front of him quietly, with his hands behind his back, motionless.

Aren't you here for a private meeting with Miss Shao Wu? The man in black looked at the two masters and servants behind the veil in the corner. In the dim light, he could vaguely see that the master and servants over there were hugging each other nervously. They didn't look like they were men coming for a private meeting. Yiren feels like he can’t understand!

It's not that something will happen to Miss Shao Wu today. It's either her or the maid next to her. But now that the man has appeared, why don't you step forward? Is it possible that you are still waiting for something?

Or is it that things are not as the master ordered?

The man in black lay motionless, his eyes sliding over the back of the man in front of the Buddha statue and the two masters and servants in the corner, his eyes showing deep contemplation. At this time, he would naturally observe even more motionlessly.

There was another sound at the door. The footsteps were lighter than before, but there seemed to be more footsteps. There were two people. The man in black immediately heard the difference.

Shuqi appeared first outside the door. He looked at Qiu Yu who turned around in surprise in the hall, breathed a sigh of relief, then opened the door, and Shao Yanru walked in slowly.

The man in black on the beam frowned tightly. This scene was not worthy of any scene he had imagined.

It seems that it is not Miss Shao Wu who has a secret meeting with Prince Qing, but Miss Shao who has a secret meeting with Qiu Yu. The person below is known to the man in black, and his master has some secret reports about this person.

The left minister of the Ministry of Punishment is also the youngest son of Uncle Li Yang. He is also one of the sons of aristocratic families in the capital. He has a good family background and is a good person. Although he is serving in the Ministry of Punishment now, it is not because of his father's departure, but because of his real talents. The Ministry of Punishment, I heard it was the emperor’s intention.

Because he has a good status and is quite capable, this is why the master noticed him.

"Miss!" Seeing Shao Yanru slowly walking in, Qiu Yu stepped forward excitedly and bowed first.

Shao Yanru stopped and saluted Qiu Yu: "Master Qiu!"

Qiu Yu coughed, stepped aside, and moved her hand forward, "Miss, please!"

The light inside looks clearer.

Shao Yanru hesitated for a moment, but still walked inside. She preferred being inside to the dim light outside, where she could at least see Qiu Yu's expression and behavior clearly.

When he arrived in front of the altar, he turned around and said straight to the point: "Master Qiu, the matter of the two mothers-in-law has nothing to do with me originally, but..."

Having said this, she looked at Shuqi who was following behind her.

Shuqi took two steps forward, knelt down in front of Qiu Yu with a plop, kowtowed heavily, then raised his head and said: "Master Qiu, this matter is originally our Fifth Miss's business and has nothing to do with our Eldest Miss. , but this matter has something to do with the slaves, I hope you will spare them for the sake of the eldest lady and the fifth lady!"

"What does this matter have to do with you?" Qiu Yu was stunned for a moment, and then his face darkened. He was in the Criminal Department and had a sharp reaction to the case.

Shao Yanru didn't say a word, but only raised her eyes to look at him. Qiu Yu immediately realized that his face was too cold. He quickly took a deep breath, relaxed, and asked gently: "What happened? Seriously, could it be that you asked these two women to harm your fifth young lady?"

"Sir, how dare you, this servant? Even if you eat the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's courage, you wouldn't dare to do such a thing!" Shuqi shook his hands wildly and defended eagerly.

"What on earth is that?" Qiu Yu frowned. His original intention of coming today was to have a private meeting with Shao Yanru and ask about their relationship. It was really not a good thing to ask the maid of his sweetheart, but that's all. Now that he's here, he can't help but ask.

"Sir, I didn't know those two women at first, but after they came back, my grandmother came to see me and said that these two women are related to me, and one of them is my aunt's sister. , one is the aunt of the slave’s second aunt’s family, the matter between the two is just a personal grudge, and they don’t dare to think about anything. I asked the slave to beg our lady to settle the matter. The slave is kind, so she brought the slave over to talk about the matter. clearly!"

Shuqi wiped his eyes with a handkerchief, his eyes were red, and his voice was choked with sobs, "The truth is that slave's two relatives are not good-sighted. They are both from the countryside, and they don't usually understand the rules. Hit them if you want, scold them if you want, it seems like they are doing it themselves, but if they want to harm Miss Fifth, it is impossible."

Qiu Yu has also reviewed the matter between the two mothers-in-law. Although he feels that something is not right, he does not think it is a big deal. After all, no one was hurt. The only one, Shao Wanru, said that his foot was injured. In Qiu Yu's mind, It seemed like he was just pretending to be like this on purpose.

If he was injured, why didn't he go back and walk a long way?

He raised his head to look at Shao Yanru, only to see that Shao Yanru also gave him a deep salute: "I hope Lord Qiu can find out this matter and let the two of them go down the mountain early. Although Shuqi is my maid, I have also treated him in the past. Sister, if she is really scolded by her family, I will also be sad. As for the fifth sister, don’t they say that this matter can only be handled by adults!”

Qiu Yu was silent for a while after saying this. This matter was indeed not a big deal. As the owner of the suffering, Shao Wanru was not forced to deal with the matter. It was not difficult to let the person go like this. Seeing the beauty doing it for the people around him A maid came to plead for mercy, and Qiu Yu felt more and more pity for the person in front of her.

She is indeed a good girl with a kind heart and beautiful appearance, it is hard not to like her!

"This matter... I will deal with it right away. Since it is just a small misunderstanding, it cannot be anything serious. Miss Shao, just rest assured!" Qiu Yu reached out to help Shao Yanru.

Shao Yanruji stood up straight alertly.

After coughing lowly, Qiu Yu's face turned slightly red. This matter was just a matter of beginning, and what he wanted to say next was the focus!
