Chapter 1259 Suspicion (5)

On the way, he met the shopkeeper Situ again, but he was not on the second floor at this time, but was talking to a guest in front of the door of the hall. When he saw Liu Xi, Situ was surprised: "Why did the eunuch come out again? Where are you going?"

Liu Xi said: "The queen is worried that Madam Mo Shao is suffering in the manor, so she asked the housekeeper to send her something!"

When the two were drinking before, Liu Xi had told Situ about Xiangyun. Situ sympathized with Xiangyun's experience. He believed that Xiangyun was a kind and straightforward woman. She could sympathize with a few tears of a liar and run out to argue with him. How could such a woman kill a fetus in her belly? This is absolutely impossible.   It must be that the concubine in the mansion was very scheming and used such a vicious method to frame her. Unfortunately, her husband did not know how to judge people and failed to let such a good woman get the love and respect she deserved. Instead, she suffered such a great injustice!

Hearing Liu Xi mention the word "hardship", he frowned and said, "Does she live a hard life there?"

After asking, he realized that his words were a bit abrupt. She was the young lady of the Duke of Liguo's mansion, and he shouldn't have asked about it. If he wanted to know whether she was living well, he could just go and see her when it was dark. Why did he say it out loud to make people suspicious? Most importantly, it would also damage her reputation!

So, without waiting for Liu Xi to answer, he bowed and said, "You go quickly. I have something to do here and can't chat with you!" Then he started talking to the guest again.

Liu Xi shrugged his shoulders indifferently, sat on the shaft of the cart, and went straight to the manor...

...

After dinner in the evening, the originally very good weather suddenly blew and the sky became dark. Cui Wen was afraid of rain, so she asked Cui Lu and Cui Ping to put away the clothes that were drying, and then closed the windows and moved the flowers, and there was a flurry of activity.

Xiangyun also came to the yard and brought in two pots of calming flowers sent by Liu Xi of Caiwei Sect. As soon as she entered the house, a heavy rain began to fall, and the sky became darker. Xiangyun ordered Cuiping to hold up the lamp, take her needlework basket, and make purses to pass the time.

Her embroidery skills were not good, and the things she made were ugly. This unfinished pomegranate-shaped purse in her hand could only be identified as a pomegranate if you looked carefully, otherwise it would be mistaken for a badly wrapped bun at first glance.

The heavy rain lasted for half an hour, and then it stopped and the sky became dark. Xiangyun put down her needlework, stretched her body, asked the maids to bring water to wash, and lay down early.

However, Xiangyun was always upset and couldn't sleep, and as a result, she felt sleepy even though she was tired when she went to bed too early.

Cuiping was on duty tonight, but Xiangyun didn't want to disturb her, so she tossed and turned and endured it for a long time before she finally fell asleep.

Just as she was sleeping, a short scream suddenly came from outside, which startled Xiangyun. She got up from the kang and was about to go down to see what was going on. The door curtain was opened and several men with their faces covered broke in.

Xiangyun was scared and broke into a cold sweat. Her heart was beating violently. Oh my God, there were bandits breaking in!

She was terrified and quickly climbed onto the kang, took out a pair of scissors from the needlework basket, and pointed them at the dozen men who broke in.

"Stop, don't come over!"

The bandit in the front laughed: "Oh, you are quite brave, you didn't cry when you saw us, and you dared to call us. However, I advise you not to waste your energy, resistance will only make you die more miserably, you'd better obey us and serve us well, maybe we can spare your life!"

The people in front of her not only want to kill her, but also insult her, let her bear the infamy after death.

Xiangyun was angry, hateful and afraid, and asked with all her might: "Who sent you?"

The leading bandit took two steps forward and walked to the edge of the kang, and said as he got on the kang: "Even if you know, what can you do? Anyway, you won't survive tonight!"

As the bandit said this, he had already forced Xiangyun to the corner where she was curled up.

Xiangyun saw the bandits coming and the other dozen people were about to get on the kang. She thought quickly and shouted, "I'll give you money. I'll pay you double what your employer gave you, as long as you let me go!"
