Chapter 135 Where is this?
Chapter 135 Where is this?
"Where am I?"
A ray of dazzling sunlight penetrated Daiyu's face. She slowly opened her eyes and found herself in a strange place.
She suddenly remembered that she and Xiaoling were cleaning the woodshed today, and accidentally saw a dressing table with exquisite carvings that made her love it.
Unexpectedly, she accidentally touched it lightly and fell into a bottomless pit.
When she came to, she found herself lying on the ground in a small courtyard.
Suddenly, she heard a sound of light footsteps. Daiyu quickly closed her eyes to see who was coming.
All I could hear was the man's old voice, his small steps, and the rustling sounds on the leaves.
"Hey, let me see, why is there a girl coming into the courtyard?" An old woman walked out of the house and came to Daiyu.
"Girl, girl, it's too cold for you to lie on the ground!"
As the old man spoke, he bent down and looked carefully at the beautiful face. Suddenly, he was surprised to find that it was a face as beautiful as a flower.
Daiyu was lying there, and when she heard the old woman's voice, she wanted to get up, but she was afraid that she would offend her.
After all, this was a completely unfamiliar place to her, and the identity of the old man in front of her was unknown.
So she decided to remain silent, closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
In this way, you will not put yourself in an embarrassing situation and you can also protect your own safety.
"Why is there a girl here?" the old woman said to herself, she seemed a little confused and curious.
But no matter what, she decided to help the girl into the house first.
So, she gently shook Daiyu's shoulders, trying to wake her up: "Miss, Miss, wake up!"
Seeing that the old woman in front of her had no hostility, Daiyu could only gently open her eyes and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, mother-in-law, I offended you!"
The old man looked at Daiyu carefully and suddenly found that her eyes and eyebrows looked like an old friend.
She smiled and said, "Get up quickly. The ground is cold. Let's go inside."
Daiyu then slowly stood up from the ground, brushed off the dust on her body, and then slowly swept her eyes over the old man and the courtyard beside her.
The old lady in front of me is over 60 years old, but she is still energetic, her eyes are as bright as stars, revealing a kind of determination and wisdom.
Although her face is covered with wrinkles and has gone through the vicissitudes of life, it cannot hide her youthful beauty.
There were a few silver strands on her hair, but they were carefully combed neatly by the old woman and neatly tied up at the back.
"Mother-in-law, can I ask where this is?" Daiyu looked around the strange courtyard and found that there was no one else here except herself and her mother-in-law.
"Haha, girl, I'll tell you after a while!"
The old woman couldn't help but look at Daiyu's hands after she finished speaking. Suddenly, she blurted out, "Her hands were just like yours back then, with slender fingers and no bones!"
A strange courtyard, a strange old woman, Daiyu felt a little confused. Where was she?
There are still a lot of things going on in the mansion. If she disappears now, what will she say if the First Lady comes to ask Xiaoling for someone?
When Daiyu thought of these things, her face instantly became filled with sorrow.
Hey, who will protect my two little girls now?
The old woman saw Daiyu's annoyed expression and said hurriedly with a smile, "Come on, go inside with me. Wait in your room and I'll cook for you."
Daiyu had no choice but to follow the old man into the room. Looking at all the unfamiliar things, she could only wait and see how to get out.
"Tell me, tell me quickly, where did you hide Yu Fujin?" The eldest concubine looked at Xiaoling seriously, as if she wanted to cut her into pieces.
On this day, the old woman came to the woodshed to deliver food on time as usual, but this time something was unusual.
She called several times, but no one came out to receive the food.
"Miss Xiaoling, Mrs. Yu, come and get your meal!" The old woman shouted loudly outside the door.
However, the room remained silent, with no response.
The old woman was very confused and waited for a while, but still no one came out.
She began to worry, so she hurried to find the first wife to report the situation.
The first wife was thinking about finding time to "meet" the second wife in the next few days. After hearing what the mother-in-law said, she immediately took her to the courtyard.
After she arrived, she winked at the maid, who immediately called out, "Fujin Yu, Xiaoling, come out and get your meal!"
The old woman called out several times, but it was very quiet inside. Still no one responded, and no one came out.
The eldest wife couldn't help but feel puzzled. This was the backyard of the palace, which had been sealed off for many years. People rarely passed by here, so few people knew about the path leading outside.
So she ordered the maid to open the door with the key.
As soon as she opened the door, she found that the originally messy courtyard had been tidied up at some point, and it no longer looked as eerie and scary as before.
She took the maid to Daiyu's room, but saw Xiaoling sitting in the room in a daze, as if her soul had been taken away.
The eldest wife could only gently ask her, "Xiaoling girl, where is your Yufujin?"
Xiaoling still sat there motionless, not saying a word.
The eldest lady asked several times, but she still didn't say anything.
The first wife was instantly furious, thinking that she was pretending to be a ghost and scaring people, and had secretly sent the jade wife away.
"Tell me quickly, where did you hide Yu Fujin?" The eldest concubine stared at Xiaoling, determined to get an answer.
Xiaoling finally came to her senses and quickly knelt down, crying, "Grandma, please have mercy on us! Our Jade Lady is missing!"
"Lost? Stop pretending with me. How could a living person be lost?" The eldest lady looked at her angrily, wishing she could cut her into pieces.
She had already made up her mind to give Concubine Yu a good beating while the prince was not at home. Now it was a good idea. She had been in the woodshed for two days but couldn't find her.
"Cailian, take her to my room, I want to interrogate her carefully!" After saying this, the eldest lady left angrily.
Xiaoling thought, what should I do? The girl is missing, and I will be taken to the first lady. How can I contact Xiaowan? Who can help me pass the message?
Before she had time to think, Cai Lian and several maids took her away.
"Miss Yun, let's go." Zijuan pulled Xiangyun into the carriage.
But Xiangyun stood there in a daze, looking towards the capital.
Ever since she separated from Daiyu that day, she had been waiting in the hotel every day for Daiyu to come and see her, but after such a long time, there was suddenly no news of Daiyu.
"Sister Lin, the long pavilion and ancient road know my longing for you, and the cries of wild geese know my blessings, but I really want to see you." After Xiangyun said this, she followed Zijuan into the carriage.
