Chapter 64 There is an Assassin
"Cao Chunxi, you..."
Mrs. Mo didn't expect Chunxi to contradict her directly. Just as she was about to get angry, Shen Qingchi interrupted her quietly: "Mother, it's getting late. Let me accompany my sister-in-law to change clothes first."
"Why should she accompany you? She is much more familiar with this place than you."
Mrs. Mo directly pulled Shen Qingchi away, and the maid kneeling on the ground immediately said: "This servant will take Madam Shen to the guest room to change clothes."
"OK."
Chunxi smiled and followed the maid leisurely.
The Wei family has very strict rules. On days like today, all the servants are on high alert and dare not cause any trouble. The tea splashed on her was obviously intentional.
Could it be that Miss Xiao Er has come to bring her wealth again?
Chunxi pondered secretly, and soon she came to the guest room specially provided for female members to rest.
As soon as she entered the room, the maid went back to get clean clothes.
Chunxi quickly scanned the room and found nothing unusual. Just as she was about to take a closer look, the door suddenly creaked open and Wei Lingze walked in.
He was newly married and had been promoted and appointed by His Majesty. Today he wore a scarlet brocade robe embroidered with a pattern of two dragons playing with a pearl in gold and silver threads. He wore a jade crown to hold his hair up and a belt of the same color to show off his narrow waist. Even his hair was full of vigor and vitality.
Could it be that this guy sacrificed his brain in exchange for the healing of his legs? Wasn’t that slap last time enough to wake him up?
Their eyes met, Chunxi was surprised and puzzled, but Wei Lingze's eyes flashed with amazement.
Xiao Qinghe is extremely beautiful. Few people in Hanjing can compare to her, and Chunxi is certainly no match for her.
But no matter how beautiful a person is, you will get tired of them after seeing them for so many years.
Before, Chunxi was always dressed as a maid in front of Wei Lingze, and at most she would occasionally wear a silk flower on her head as decoration. But today, Chunxi had her eyebrows trimmed, applied makeup carefully, and wore pearl hairpins and earrings. The contrast was quite big from before, which caused a certain visual impact on Wei Lingze.
Wei Lingze curled his lips and was about to go forward to discuss the pros and cons with Chunxi. As soon as he took a step forward, Chunxi shouted, "Help! There's an assassin!"
Chunxi used all her strength to shout, her voice as loud as a lion's roar. Wei Lingze's eardrums were buzzing, and the surprise he had just felt disappeared instantly.
His face darkened and he ordered in a cold voice, "Shut up! If you call them over, I'll say you seduced me. Let's see if they believe you or me!"
The Wei and Xiao families had just gotten married, and this scandal happened. No matter who took the initiative, the blame would definitely be put on Chunxi.
Wei Lingze was fearless, but Chunxi was not frightened by his words. Instead, she shouted even louder: "An assassin is killing people! Help!!!"
It doesn’t work!
Wei Lingze's eyes were gloomy, and he quickly stepped forward to cover Chunxi's mouth. The next moment, Chunxi grabbed his arm and bit it hard.
Chunxi has very good teeth and bites very hard.
Wei Lingze had the illusion that he was bitten by a wolf cub and a piece of his flesh would be torn off. With anger surging in his chest, Wei Lingze pushed Chunxi away arrogantly.
Chunxi slammed heavily against the wall. Wei Lingze thought she would behave better after feeling the pain, but she immediately got up and jumped out of the window nearby.
"stop!"
The female guest rooms and the male guest rooms are not far apart, and rows of low evergreen shrubs are planted in between to enhance privacy.
Chunxi's body was very agile. In the blink of an eye, he ran forward quickly through the bushes.
Just so disobedient.
Chunxi, you forced me to do this!
Wei Lingze went to the back garden with a gloomy face, and had already come up with countless plans in his mind to ruin Chunxi's reputation.
"Wei Lang?" Xiao Qinghe came over with the Crown Princess and was surprised to see Wei Lingze. "The Crown Prince is here, why are you still here?"
Today's promotion banquet was specially held for him, and he should be entertaining guests in the front yard at this time.
Wei Lingze was not flustered at all. He took two steps forward, grabbed Xiao Qinghe's hand, and said gently, "I came to see you."
The Crown Princess and Xiao Qinghe were close friends. Before she married into the Eastern Palace, Xiao Qinghe and Wei Lingze were in the prime of their relationship. Seeing this, the Crown Princess smiled and joked, "He'er has already married Young Master Wei and she's not going to run away. How can you bear not seeing Young Master Wei for just a short while?"
"I'm worried about tiring her out."
Wei Lingze nodded, confirming the fact that he doted on his wife.
However, Xiao Qinghe couldn't help but curl his fingertips slightly, wanting to pull his hand away.
Just now she saw Wei Lingze from a distance. Wei Lingze came from the guest room for female relatives to rest.
He shouldn't be there.
He also had a wound on his arm. Although he quickly covered it with his sleeve, Xiao Qinghe could still see the teeth marks on it.
The other party seemed to have bitten very hard, with sharp teeth marks and blood.
All the wives of prominent officials attending the banquet today are from prominent families. It is obvious who Wei Lang will have an argument with and get bitten by.
Xiao Qinghe cut off his thoughts and didn't dare to think too deeply about what had just happened in the guest room.
In the back garden, Yun and Madam Xiao were accepting congratulations and praises from everyone.
Wei Lingze is young and promising with a bright future, while Xiao Qinghe is also talented and beautiful, and good at managing the household. The marriage between the two families is indeed a model of marriage between contemporary aristocratic families.
The appearance of Wei Lingze and Xiao Qinghe together brought the atmosphere to a climax, and the crowd's praise for them even overshadowed the arrival of the Crown Princess.
Many of the unmarried young ladies from aristocratic families present also expressed envy.
It would be great if they could marry a talented and loving husband like Xiao Qinghe.
Xiao Qinghe had already calmed down. Facing the praise and envy of the crowd, she remained calm and courteously led the Crown Princess to her seat first.
Wei Lingze's gaze did not follow Xiao Qinghe, but was searching for Chunxi's figure in the crowd.
However, after searching around, nothing was found.
Where did she run to?
Wei Lingze frowned. Many people noticed his abnormality. Yun said solemnly, "Ze'er, why are you here?"
Wei Lingze immediately retracted his gaze and said softly, "I was worried that He'er was too tired today, so I came to check on her."
This answer made everyone even more envious. Yun smiled and said angrily, "You really have forgotten your mother now that you have a wife. Don't worry, mother has long regarded He'er as her own daughter, and mother can't bear to burden her."
Yun's words further elevated Xiao Qinghe's status in the Wei family.
Madam Xiao showed a look of relief and praised Wei Lingze. Then she said loudly, "Today, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce someone to you all."
Madam Xiao finished speaking and searched for Chunxi in the crowd. Before she could find her, Madam Mo came before her with Shen Qingchi. "Ah Xi has never seen such a big scene before, and she is clumsy. She accidentally bumped into a maid and got her clothes wet. She is in the guest room to change clothes, but she hasn't arrived yet. If you have any words for her, please ask Chi'er to bring them to her."
Xiao Qinghe clenched her palms. Sure enough, Wei Lang had just gone to see Chunxi.
Wei Lingze didn't find Chunxi among the women, and he had a bad feeling. He was about to leave when the steward suddenly ran over in a panic and whispered in Madam Wei's ear, "Madam, something bad has happened! There's an assassin in the mansion!"
Wei Lingze was standing next to Madam Wei and heard the steward's words clearly. He immediately gritted his teeth in hatred.
Cao Chunxi, you are so brave!
