After leaving the small garden, there was a winding corridor.
The veranda was surrounded by lush vegetation, and the sound of night dew dripping could be heard from time to time.
Apart from that, there was no other movement. Whether it was the chirping of insects or the chirping of birds, they all seemed to have been erased and disappeared.
"Miss, where are you?"
"Miss ..."
The maidservant shouted as she walked in front, looking around from time to time. Occasionally, she would climb up the beauty couch in the veranda, lean over the grass, and carefully observe the situation inside.
PEI Ling followed far behind, maintaining a considerable distance and constantly using the pillars and railings to hide his figure. This was to ensure that even if the other party suddenly turned back, he would be able to avoid their line of sight at any time.
After exiting the veranda, there was a hexagonal garden door in front of them. After entering, they saw that the ground was paved with green bricks, ancient trees towered into the sky, and many flowers and plants drooped down on the rockery. It looked extremely prosperous and luxuriant.
The maidservant walked along the winding path, occasionally shouting, " "Miss, where are you?"
Throughout the entire process, she did not look back once, as if she did not realize that someone was following her.
Suddenly, the maidservant's voice stopped.
PEI Ling immediately hid, but after waiting for a moment, he did not see the other party turn back. He could not help but have a thought. The other party had found the "miss"?
Thus, he looked around and made sure that there was no one around. He then walked out of his hiding place and fumbled his way forward.
Behind the fake mountain, there was a beautiful house.
At this moment, the lights were lit inside. The bright candlelight shone through the window lattice and projected the figures of two people, one sitting and one standing, on the fan.
He was sitting in the middle of the night, still wearing his traditional Chinese clothing.
The one standing had her hair tied up in two straight buns. She was obviously the maidservant from earlier.
"Madam." The maidservant bent her knees and said respectfully.
Madam asked calmly,"where's Xiang 'er?" Did you find it?"
&Quot; I'm useless, " the maidservant said in a low voice. &Quot; I've searched the entire house, but I can't find the young lady. &Quot;
"Where was Xiang 'er last seen?" the madam asked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Madam, it was in the embroidery building," the maidservant replied.
&Quot; at that time, miss said she wanted to embroider a parrot and asked me to get the parrot cage for the drawing. I took the parrot and went upstairs. Miss was gone ... &Quot;
PEI Ling half-squatted and used the skirt skirt under the fan to hide his figure. Hearing the voice coming from inside, he instantly knew that the young lady the maidservant was looking for was called "Xiang 'er," and the person sitting and asking the question was the mistress of this house, which should also be the mother of his current identity.
For some reason, Xiang 'er had disappeared from the building, but the conversation between the mistress and the servant girl was very calm. It was as if the one who had disappeared was not a miss, but an ordinary item ...
After listening for a moment and seeing that he could not get any more information, PEI Ling prepared to leave quietly.
However, at this moment, a gust of cold wind blew past. Instantly, the cold spread all over his body. He quickly covered his mouth, but his weak body could not help but let out a violent cough.
"Cough, cough, cough ..."
The conversation between the madam and the servant girl in the room suddenly stopped.
PEI Ling's expression changed. This body was too weak!
He didn't feel anything when he was following them, but now, after the cold, he couldn't even stand properly!
"Luan 'er, why are you here?" The madam's voice immediately came from inside. Immediately after, the door was opened and a woman dressed in a magnificently-dressed matriarch quickly walked out with two servant girls.
These three people all wore masks that seemed to be made of fine iron. From their figures and attire, one of the two maidservants who served the madam was the one he had followed just now, and the other was the one who had gone to deliver medicine to him.
Seeing that his maidservant was also here, PEI Ling's expression was calm. Under such circumstances, he definitely could not panic!
The inheritance of "curse" was nothing more than curses and the path of conflict.
The fight for Dao ... Was disguising as someone else and replacing everything, including their life Providence!
His current identity was the young master of this house.
The more perfect his acting was, the safer he would be now!
Thinking of this, PEI Ling forced himself to bow, " "I've seen it before ... Cough cough cough cough ..."
Before he could finish speaking, he coughed violently again, and a strong sense of weakness attacked him. For a moment, PEI Ling only felt stars in front of his eyes, and the world was spinning. He immediately lost his balance and fell to the side.
The mistress and the two maidservants immediately went forward and supported him.
"Bring little Rou back to her room!" The matriarch immediately ordered, her tone revealing obvious anxiety.
"Yes!" The two maidservants replied respectfully.
They carefully lifted PEI Ling up and walked back the way they came.
The matriarch followed closely by his side, the hair bun on her head swaying rhythmically with her steps, making her look even more dignified.
During this process, PEI Ling's mind was still clear, but he could not exert any strength. If any one of the three wanted to harm him, he would not be able to fight back.
As PEI Ling panted, his mind was racing.
The matriarch in front of him was the mother of his identity. When he almost fell down, the anxiety and anxiety she showed did not seem to be fake. He must be very concerned about his son. As long as his identity was not exposed, the other party should be able to trust him!
A moment later, he was sent back to his original house.
After entering the bedroom, there was no more chilly wind, and it was much warmer.
PEI Ling's complexion had recovered slightly. At this moment, two maidservants helped him to lie down on the bed under the mistress's instructions.
After arranging a pillow and covering her with a brocade quilt, the servant girl tactfully retreated.
The mistress came forward and sat on the side of the bed. She asked, " "Luan 'er, are you feeling better now?"
"Mother, I have something to tell you in private," PEI Ling said in a weak voice.
The only person he could trust now was this mistress. At this moment, he naturally had to take advantage of this opportunity to explain to the other party about the servant girl trying to kill him just now. This way, he could take the opportunity to get rid of a future trouble!
When the mistress heard this, she nodded slightly and immediately said, " "Alright," he said.
As she spoke, she raised her hand to tuck in the corner of PEI Ling's blanket. Then, she turned around and instructed the two maidservants, " you two can go down first. &Quot;
"Yes!" The two maidservants knelt down and replied.
Just as they were about to leave, the mistress saw the medicine on the table and said, " "Wait a moment."
She stood up and walked to the table. She picked up the medicine and tasted it with a spoon. Then she shook her head and said, " "This medicine has already cooled down. Take it down, heat it up, and then bring it up."
"Yes, Madam," The two maidservants agreed and took the medicine out.
"Bang!"
The door was gently closed.
After being delayed for a while, PEI Ling felt fatigue wash over him like a tidal wave. His eyelids felt like they weighed a thousand pounds, and he could not help but want to close them.
The matriarch's voice rang in his ears, " "Little Rou ... Little Rou ..."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPEI Ling wanted to answer, but his weak body did not move at all. His sleepiness was overwhelming, but he did not respond for a long time.
Buzzzzzz!
Suddenly, he heard the soft sound of a sharp blade being unsheathed.
PEI Ling suddenly woke up and did not dare to open his eyes immediately. He immediately let out an earth-shattering cough.
&Quot; cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough ... &Quot;
The matriarch immediately put away the dagger.
At this moment, PEI Ling slowly opened his eyes and said, " "Mother ..."
"Luan 'er, what's the matter that you want to talk to mother in private?" The matriarch's voice was soft and her face was filled with love.
&Quot; ... &Quot; PEI Ling paused for two breaths, then said, " I don't want to take medicine ... &Quot;
"No!" The mistress immediately shook her head. &Quot; that medicine is for you. Drink it, and your illness will slowly get better. &Quot;
"I understand ..." PEI Ling said weakly.
"Is there anything else?" the matriarch asked gently.
"No," PEI Ling immediately shook his head.
Hearing this, the mistress nodded and said, " "It's late, you should sleep first."
"Mother has already asked someone to heat up the medicine."
"I'll bring it over when it's done, don't worry."
"I understand," PEI Ling nodded.
As he spoke, he slowly closed his eyes again.
The mistress nodded slightly. Seeing that he seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, she stood up and walked out of the door.
Creak. &Quot;
"Bang!"
The door opened and closed.
After confirming that he was the only one left in the room, PEI Ling immediately opened his eyes, his expression turning extremely ugly.
She couldn't sleep tonight!
