Chapter 111 The Strange Maid in Black



"Today I deliberately told Zhang Xiulin that I was from Mengjiazhuang. She seemed familiar with the name Mengjiazhuang." Su Qi had a smile on her lips. The niece of a prefect was familiar with the remote mountain village.

There must be something fishy going on.

An invisible pair of hands tied these things together.

Su Qi could feel that they were touching upon other people's secrets.

The two talked for a while before returning to the backyard.

night.

Su Qi, Gu Beijing, Gu Beiting, and Gu Xiaoyue accompanied Zhang Xiulin for dinner. Gu Beihe only came to the Gu family compound during the day and would go back with Gu Beiyao and the others at night.

The black-clad maid ate in silence with Bai Zhi and the others in the kitchen. Xia He spoke to her but pretended not to hear.

After dinner, she went straight back to the guest room where Zhang Xiulin lived.

Zhang Xiulin was very curious when she saw a plate of green vegetables on the table.

"Su Qi. How come you still have vegetables here? How can you grow vegetables when there are no hot spring villas in Yun County?" Zhang Xiulin asked curiously with a frown.

Zhang Xiulin hadn't eaten any vegetables for a few days, and she was in a good mood when she saw the green leafy vegetables.

While talking, he had already taken several bites.

Su Qi scooped a spoonful of soup and mixed it with rice. She put down the spoon and raised her eyebrows.

"Who said there are no hot springs in Yun County? How could there not even be a hot spring in such a large area like Houshan?"

Zhang Xiulin shook her head confidently, "Impossible. Although the mountains here are vast, there are no hot springs. There is a cold pond, but it's impossible to grow vegetables there."

Gu Beiting and the other two girls lowered their heads and said nothing.

While eating quietly, the three of them always felt that the girl who came at night was very strange.

There was an indescribable hostility in his body.

Su Qi pondered Zhang Xiulin's words carefully. There is a cold pond but no hot spring.

Such an affirmative tone.

Then Zhang Xiulin must come here often.

Zhang Xiulin seemed to realize she had spoken too quickly and stole a glance at Su Qi. She was relieved to find that her expression remained unchanged, the same as before.

After dinner, Zhang Xiulin made the excuse that she was tired and wanted to rest.

She went back to the guest room to rest.

In the night.

Whether it is Mengjiazhuang or in the forest behind the mountain.

Under the cover of darkness, many people want to take this opportunity to conduct transactions that are not easy to detect.

However...

The naughty moon hid and pulled out the crazy Snow Lady.

The north wind howled all night.

Another snowstorm.

Gu Beiheng looked at Su Qi returning to her room after taking a shower, and a strange feeling surged in his heart.

The scene on the wedding night is not very clear.

But now he wants to have it again... Moving his lips, Gu Beiheng said in a hoarse voice:

"Qiqi, you look so beautiful today." So beautiful that he wanted to do something...

Su Qi was wearing a red pajamas, with her loose hair covering her delicate neck.

The tender skin is faintly visible between the hair and the red clothes.

Su Qi raised her eyes and chuckled, but the smile froze on her face. How bold her jokes were before, how cowardly she was now.

Gu Beiheng's thoughts were all expressed on his face. Su Qi couldn't pretend not to see it.

The candlelight exploded.

The sound of wind outside the window suddenly began to howl.

Su Qi smiled slightly, "Beiheng. The weather has changed. Let's bring Dabao and Erbao over to our room."

Gu Beiheng sighed helplessly. The weather was against him, and he just wanted to do something good.

Is it really so torturous?

So charming!

A young and energetic body will be ruined sooner or later.

Gu Beiheng walked out and brought Dabao and Erbao in. Su Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s not that she doesn’t accept Gu Beiheng, she just feels that the two of them still need a little more effort to become a natural couple.

Su Qi arranged the bedding, letting Dabao and Erbao sleep in the middle while she curled up on the inside of the bed.

Xianghe lit the kang in the east room.

The candle in Zhang Xiulin's room had long been extinguished. She and the black-clad maid had not yet gone to bed, and the two sat together in the dark night for a while.

Until the cold front arrives.

Zhang Xiulin shrank her neck and lay on the bed.

The black-clothed maid's eyes dimmed. "Miss, I'll take you to the back mountain."

Zhang Xiulin wrapped the quilt a little tighter and could hear the sound of her upper and lower teeth colliding with each other.

"It's so cold, go by yourself if you want to go. I'm not going to die."

Anger flashed in the eyes of the black-clothed maid, but she couldn't help shivering.

Finally climbed onto the bed.

Hiding in the quilt.

The people of Jinyang Prefecture were suffering terribly.

In Jinyang Prefecture, located in the southwest, many elderly people have never seen snow since they were young.

But now, after experiencing two snowstorms in just a few days, and then followed by high temperatures, they always feel that they are being played by God.

Alternating cold and hot, even winter wheat can't stand this kind of playing.

It was just dawn.

A long line formed outside Gu's Charcoal Shop in Mingfeng Town. Many people pulled out their thickest clothes and lined up to stock up.

Look at the vast expanse of white snow.

There was a smile in Gu Beiheng's eyes.

Looking at Dabao, Erbao, Zeng Wuji and others playing snowball fights on the ground, Gu Beiheng's mouth corners were always raised.

Yingyi came out of the tunnel wearing a thick leather coat.

Came to Gu Beiheng.

He lowered his eyes and whispered, "Master, I have discovered something."

Gu Beiheng nodded, "Let's go check it out." He then told Xianghe to wait for Su Qi to wake up and tell her he would be back later. He also told Xianghe to remember to add incense to Su Qi's heater.

After giving the instructions, he and Yingyi left.

It was almost noon when Su Qi got up.

There is nothing to do on a snowy day.

First, the familiarity of Gu Beiting and the other two with the Compendium of Materia Medica was tested.

Gu Beijing learned the best and was even able to ask some questions based on what he learned.

Gu Beiting is quite conventional.

Gu Xiaoyue was the worst student, she was still trying to learn to read. There were many characters in the Compendium of Materia Medica that she was not familiar with.

"Sister-in-law. I also want to understand these words, but I remember the arms but not the legs." Gu Xiaoyue had a headache. She preferred to be like Baizhi.

But Su Qi told her that she should learn literature while learning martial arts.

Su Qi walked over and took a look at the words Gu Xiaoyue said. This girl had learned to read half of a word and could never make a mistake.

"Xiaoyue, take your time. There's no rush. If you want to learn martial arts, you have to get up early every day." Su Qi would not refuse Gu Xiaoyue from learning martial arts. "Baizhi gets up early in the morning to practice martial arts. You can't let her accommodate your time."

Gu Xiaoyue clasped her hands together and chuckled:

"Thank you, sister-in-law. I will get up early starting tomorrow."

Xiang He came over with a heater in her hand and placed it in Su Qi's hands. "Madam, Miss Zhang said it was too cold. I sent a basket of diamond charcoal over. She asked if I could buy two fur coats for them."

"A fur coat? They only say there are cotton coats, not fur coats."

"I rejected her in the same way. In our mansion, only Madam and a few young ladies each have one." Xiang He said slowly, "That maid in black looks very strange. From what I can see, she doesn't look like a servant."

Su Qi nodded gently, "Just keep it in mind. What others do is their business. Let Bai Zhi watch quietly and don't let them see anything."

"Xiang He, think of a way to deliberately sell them a fur coat at a high price." Su Qi opened the heater in her hand, put a piece of agarwood in it, and closed the lid. "Just say you are making some money behind our backs."

"Yes. I'll go right away." Xiang He bowed and prepared to leave.

"Let Aunt Gu go over." The Aunt Gu Su Qi was referring to was Gu Xiuming's mother.

She is a smart person.

"yes."

There was a faint scent of agarwood in the room.
