Chapter 273: The True Face of Zhang Zishan
Cheng Zishan quietly sneaked into the old lady's courtyard, stood in the corner, and listened quietly to the movements in the house.
The room was brightly lit. The old lady was in panic, and her waving hands were reflected on the window paper.
The exclamations from inside rose and fell, and to Cheng Zishan, they sounded like music.
She was satisfied. After listening for a while, she turned around and walked back, even her steps became much lighter.
This vicious old woman deserves it!
When she returned to the yard and entered the house, she suddenly felt something was wrong.
When she went out, there were clearly many candles lit in the room. Why is it so dim now?
She became alert, pulled out the dagger from her sleeve, and walked slowly to the door of the inner room.
Through the beaded curtain, I saw a person sitting in the dim light and shadow.
He was wearing black clothes and a black robe, and a beast-head mask on his head.
The candlelight fell on the animal head, casting a huge shadow on the ground and the wall.
Cheng Zishan's heart trembled and he quickly put away the dagger.
"Tianshi!"
Cheng Zishan was surprised and delighted, and hurried forward to greet him: "Master, why are you here?"
Yu Shengsheng's heart was pounding under the hood - as expected, Cheng Zishan knew the Heavenly Master.
Yu Shengsheng didn't say anything.
She asked Jin Baobao to buy a voice-changing pill at a high price this afternoon, and now her voice is as deep as a man's.
I'm not saying anything now, not because I'm afraid Cheng Zishan will see through it, but because only silence will create more pressure, making Cheng Zishan more uneasy and then revealing more information.
Sure enough, when Cheng Zishan saw that she was silent, the smile on her face faded and she began to feel uneasy.
"The Heavenly Master is blaming the believer for not getting the land?"
Cheng Zishan sighed, "I didn't expect Cheng Ziheng to be so stupid. He was about to get the money, but he couldn't bear to part with it and caused so much trouble."
"Don't worry, Master. I will find another way."
After Cheng Zishan finished speaking, she saw that the Taoist priest still didn't speak, and her forehead was a little sweaty.
Seeing that it was almost done, Yu Shengsheng said coldly: "You are in the Su family, what can you do?"
Cheng Zishan smiled lightly, her smile full of sarcasm: "These people in the Su family are all idiots. They really think I want to marry Su Yanshu."
Yu Shengsheng's heart shuddered. Could it be that not?
Cheng Zishan lowered her voice and said, "Thanks to your advice, I came to the Su Mansion. I was planning to do what you said and have something happen with Su Dingqin or Su Yanshu so that they can't deny it."
"I didn't expect that Fu Qingyin would show up and ask the emperor to grant us marriage."
Cheng Zishan chuckled twice: "It saves me a lot of trouble."
"What Su family, what Buddhist temple, they are just my temporary place to stay. Once I have done the job for you, I will leave this broken place."
Yu Shengsheng nodded slowly: "Do you still remember what errand I asked you to do?"
"Of course I remember. I dare not forget it for a moment. However, the picture is really hard to find, and I don't know who has it."
Looking for pictures? Yu Shengsheng secretly took note, but he didn't know what pictures to look for.
But you can't ask this question directly.
"This map is extremely important. You should know this. Do you remember what I told you?"
Cheng Zishan bowed and said, "I remember."
"Tianshi," she said in a deep voice, "I think there is someone in this mansion who needs to be paid attention to. She is the most difficult to deal with."
"Who?"
"Yu Shengsheng," Cheng Zishan said softly, "She is the daughter of the Su family who was stranded outside. She grew up in the countryside and doesn't know the rules and etiquette. She is disliked by the Su family, and even her biological mother doesn't like her."
Cheng Zishan walked to the candle and flicked it gently. The candle flame popped and the light suddenly became bright.
The light reflected the smile on her face, which was cold and gloomy.
"She is superfluous in this world, so I suggest..."
Yu Shengsheng said calmly: "Kill her?"
Cheng Zishan tilted her head to look at her: "Killing her would be too easy for her, it would be better to sell her. She is a lowly person, so it is only natural for her to do lowly things."
"You are the one who decides this matter. Today we are only here to discuss the mission."
Yu Shengsheng's emotions did not change with her words: "What do you think about Cheng Ziheng's death?"
Cheng Zishan smiled and said, "He's already dead, what can he think? He's just stupid, who can he blame?"
"Su Zhiyi told me at the time that Cheng Ziheng had died, and she was expecting me to be very sad. What a smartass you are."
Cheng Zishan chuckled a few times.
Yu Shengsheng looked at her. She was completely different from her usual stupid and fearful self.
I'm afraid that no one in the Su family knows about Cheng Zishan's condition, or rather, no one in the Cheng family is aware of it.
"Do you still remember what I said to you when you first met me?" Yu Shengsheng lowered his voice, revealing a bit of dissatisfaction.
Cheng Zishan lowered her eyes and said, "The first time I saw you was when I went to burn incense. I was filled with sorrow. I was only worried that the Duke's Mansion would decline and I would not be able to find a good match or a good marriage."
"It was the Heavenly Master who told me..."
Yu Shengsheng's heart was slightly moved. Burning incense? To Hongyuan Temple? Hongyuan Temple again.
She was still waiting for Cheng Zishan to continue speaking when Cheng Zishan suddenly stopped.
Cheng Zishan fiddled with the candle flame again, tilted her head to look over, fire flickered in her eyes and a sinister smile.
"Have you asked enough questions, Yu Shengsheng?"
Yu Shengsheng's breathing was slightly choked, and his hands were clenched together in his wide sleeves, and sweat instantly seeped out.
Calming down his mind, Yu Shengsheng asked coldly: "What are you talking about?"
Cheng Zishan chuckled: "Why, you don't admit it?"
“How dare you!” Yu Shengsheng shouted coldly, without moving a muscle.
Cheng Zishan's smile faded slightly, and she became a little doubtful.
"you……"
After a while, Cheng Zishan covered her mouth and laughed again.
"You don't feel a bit weak? Do you feel that your mind is clear but your hands and feet don't obey you?"
Cold sweat broke out on Yu Shengsheng's back, and she secretly tried it under the cover of the loose black robe.
That’s true, my hands and feet don’t quite obey me.
Her eyes flickered towards the candle flame that Cheng Zishan had flicked twice.
Cheng Zishan noticed it and nodded and admitted readily: "Yes, just now, when I was flicking the candle, I put a little bit of scented powder in it."
"As for what kind of scented powder it is, you can feel it now. This scented powder is very precious. It can make your mind clear, but it just can't control your body."
"It allows you to clearly see how you are being treated, but you are powerless and can only be slaughtered."
"How is it? Isn't it interesting?"
Yu Shengsheng asked: "How could you do such vicious things?"
"Vicious?" Cheng Zishan shook her head. "I don't think so. As long as it can hit an opponent, it is a good thing. How can it be vicious?"
"What do you want? Kill me?"
"Of course not, I just said it," Cheng Zishan stepped forward and took off her hood.
The animal head was taken off, revealing Yu Shengsheng's stunning face.
Cheng Zishan's eyes flashed with jealousy: "I really hate your face."
"But some people will like it."
Yu Shengsheng's expression was tense: "This is the Su Mansion, where can you take me? You can't get out."
"Who said that?"
