Chapter 4402: Dark Moon and High Windy Night
That night, due to Zhou Xiong's death, the Chu Mansion was shrouded in a strange atmosphere, and the joyous atmosphere of the old lady's birthday earlier was also diluted a lot.
It was night, Shui Bi quietly returned to Huanhuaju.
"Master, as you said, I went to keep an eye on the old lady's courtyard and found that the young master had just left her. Judging from his anxious expression, it was obvious that he had something important to discuss with the old lady."
"got it."
Ye Lingyue waved her hand to indicate that she understood.
In Zhou Xiong's death, Chu Mu, as his good friend and the young master of the Chu family, would definitely be implicated.
Ye Lingyue expected Chu Mu to go to Mrs. Chu.
Chu Mu is the young master of the Chu Mansion. Because of his high talent, his mother, Chu Qin, and his father are also from the eldest family lineage. In the Chu Mansion, he can be said to be second only to the old lady.
What Chu Mu said and made, it could be said that one person could decide many things. He wanted to discuss it with the old lady to prove that he could not make the decision on this matter.
Looking at the entire Chu Mansion, Chu Mu had no choice but to make the decision. There was only one thing he could do nothing about, one person.
That's her... Ye Lingyue.
Haha~ It seemed that Chu Mu finally couldn't hold it any longer and planned to get rid of this thorn in his side.
As for Mrs. Chu, Ye Lingyue didn't have much hope, especially after she knew that Mrs. Chu might have other intentions for taking "Ye Lingyue" in. The complete decline of the Ye family was related to the Chu family. After the relationship ended, Ye Lingyue no longer expected Mrs. Chu to help her.
If a person does not rely on himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. This has always been Ye Lingyue's creed in life.
"Is there any movement over Chu Qin and Ji Linlang?"
Ye Lingyue asked again.
On Mrs. Chu's side, she had been mentally prepared for a long time, but on the other side, Chu Qin and Ji Linlang had been ready to make a move, but they never made a move.
Ye Lingyue had worn those two sets of clothes twice, and there was nothing unusual about them.
Not only did this not make Ye Lingyue feel relieved, it actually made her more vigilant.
Logically speaking, with a temperament like the Chu Qin family, they would never allow someone as embarrassing as Ye Lingyue to appear at Mrs. Chu's birthday banquet.
"There doesn't seem to be anything unusual on Madam's side. As for Miss Ji, she is entertaining the distinguished guests in the house, especially getting close to the head of the Young Master Zhao."
Shuibi recalled.
However, she was alone, so it would be difficult to keep an eye on both sides.
After nightfall, there were people patrolling outside the courtyards on both sides, and she retreated out of fear of being discovered.
"You've done a great job, and you worked hard today."
Ye Lingyue was still very satisfied with Shui Bi's reaction.
The effect of the puppet talisman on Shui Bi became more and more obvious, Ye Lingyue considered, and then started on Nanny Huang and the other two maids.
After Shui Bi withdrew, Ye Lingyue walked over to the two pieces of clothing and took a closer look.
“What’s going on with the pollen up there?”
Ye Lingyue weighed the clothes, still feeling uneasy in her heart.
"It looks like I have to go there myself."
Ye Lingyue thought about it,
The Chu Qin family will definitely take action tonight.
She must seize her last chance.
Ye Lingyue immediately drew an invisibility charm.
As soon as Fu got up, she took advantage of the night and left Huanhua Jun quietly.
The old lady's birthday banquet will be held tomorrow, and the entire mansion is decorated with lights and colors, looking very happy.
Zhou Xiong's body was placed in a side courtyard, and Ye Lingyue relied on her memory to find the Chu Qin family's courtyard.
The courtyard where the Chu Qin family is located is called Xuyang Ju, which is the residence of the Chu Qin family and Chu Mu's father, Chu Zhaoyang.
Compared with Chu Qin's acrimony and Chu Mu's youthful ambition, Chu Zhaoyang is an honest man.
He has always been diligent in his work in Chu Mansion, and he is very responsible.
Ye Lingyue, the daughter-in-law, was not treated harshly.
Just as Shui Bi said earlier, there were many guards walking back and forth outside the Chu Qin family's courtyard, and the security seemed very tight.
Ye Lingyue looked at the time and saw that it was almost midnight.
The patrols of the guards were still very frequent, but fortunately she was carrying an invisibility charm.
This ninety-nine-level invisibility talisman is very useful in Cangmang Continent.
This is also thanks to the fact that Cangmang Continent admires inscriptions and underestimates the skills of other alchemists.
Ye Lingyue sneaked into Xuyang Residence without anyone noticing.
Chu Zhaoyang and Chu Qin have been married for many years, and their relationship can only be considered average.
The Chu Qin family had a powerful personality. In the early years, Chu Zhaoyang had a maidservant whom he had served since childhood. Chu Zhaoyang wanted to take her as his concubine, but the Chu Qin family refused no matter what. Unfortunately, the maidservant died when she was in labor. Death due to hemorrhage.
It is said that when the maidservant died, the fetus in her belly, a baby girl, also died. One corpse and two lives. The end was very miserable.
There were rumors outside that the Chu Qin family hired sorcerers and conspired to kill the maid, but there was no conclusive evidence.
Chu Zhaoyang made a big fuss over this, but in the end the old lady came forward and calmed the matter down.
Since then, Chu Zhaoyang has been living in separate rooms with the Chu Qin family.
Chu Zhaoyang lives in the south wing of Xuyang Residence, and Chu Qin lives in the east wing. These are what Shui Bi told Ye Lingyue earlier.
Ye Lingyue looked at the south chamber and saw that it had already been extinguished.
Looking at the east chamber, it was also pitch black, and it seemed that the Chu Qin family had also rested.
"Could it be that the Chu Qin family really doesn't have any conspiracy?"
Ye Lingyue wondered.
She hesitated for a moment, but decided to trust her subconscious and hunker down in secret.
If the Chu Qin family really has any conspiracy, it will definitely be exposed tonight.
Ye Lingyue secretly hid outside the east chamber.
Around dawn, there was still no movement.
Just when Ye Lingyue thought she was going to go back empty-handed today, she heard the sound of a shuttle.
The sound came from a patch of flowers behind the east chamber.
The sound came from far to near, coming from the wall.
Although Ye Lingyue's eyesight is not as good as before, her spiritual consciousness is excellent.
The spiritual thoughts spread quietly, and they saw a yellow smoke rising from the wall of Xuyangju.
Yellow smoke billowed, and a large cobra with a triangular head and the thickness of a bucket spiraled out from inside.
The cobra spat out a message and made a hissing sound, which made people feel their scalp numb for a while.
"The Mandala King Snake is extremely venomous and a four-star heavenly beast. This snake is a combination of human and snake. It is suspected to be from the Shawu tribe in the Northern Territory."
The divine machine talisman in the body reacted quickly again.
But this is the only information Ye Lingyue can obtain.
The Northern Territory, Ye Lingyue remembered, was also one of the Lower Heaven Territories.
According to records in the history of heaven, the Northern Territory is different from the Cangmang Continent. That territory is very desolate, half of it is a frozen surface, and the other half is desert Gobi. The number of heavenly beings living in that area is also the smallest in the entire Thirty-three Heavens Territory.
Speaking of which, when Ye Lingyue and Xi Jiuye fought side by side, the Northern Territory when they first arrived was quite similar. 2k Reading Network) Book lovers, please pay attention!
