That night, because of Zhou Xiong's death, the Chu Mansion was shrouded in a strange atmosphere, and the happy atmosphere of the old matriarch's birthday earlier was also diluted a lot.
It was night, and Shuibi quietly returned to Huanhuaju.
"Master, this servant followed what you said, went to watch outside the old matriarch's courtyard, and found that the young master had just left her. Judging from his anxious expression, it is obvious that he has something important to discuss with the old matriarch."
"got it."
Ye Lingyue waved her hand, indicating that she knew.
Zhou Xiong's death, as his good friend and the young master of the Chu family, Chu Mu will definitely be implicated.
It was within Ye Lingyue's expectation that Chu Mu went to find Old Madam Chu.
Chu Mu is the young master of the Chu family. Because of his high talent, his mother, Chu Qin family, and father are both from the long family lineage. In the Chu family, they can be said to be second only to the old matriarch.
What Chu Mu said and the decisions he made, it can be said that one person can decide many things. He wants to discuss with the old lady to prove that he cannot make the decision.
Looking at the entire Chu Mansion, Chu Mu had no choice but to make decisions. There was only one thing, one person.
That's her... Ye Lingyue.
Hehe~ It seems that Chu Mu finally couldn't bear it any longer, and planned to get rid of this thorn in his side.
As for the Old Madam Chu, Ye Lingyue did not give much hope, especially since she knew that the old Madam Chu might have other plans for taking "Ye Lingyue" in. After losing the relationship, Ye Lingyue didn't expect Mrs. Chu to help her.
It has always been Ye Lingyue's creed that people do not rely on themselves, and heaven and earth will perish.
"Chu Qin and Ji Linlang, is there any movement?"
Ye Lingyue asked again.
On the old lady Chu's side, she had already been mentally prepared, but on the other side, Chu Qin's family and Ji Linlang had been eager to make a move, but they never did it.
Ye Lingyue wore those two sets of clothes twice, and there was nothing unusual about them.
This not only did not make Ye Lingyue feel relieved, but made him more vigilant.
It stands to reason that Chu Qin's temperament would never allow such an embarrassing existence like Ye Lingyue to appear at the old lady Chu's birthday banquet.
"Madam, there doesn't seem to be anything unusual. As for Ms. Ji, she is entertaining the distinguished guests in the house, especially getting very close to that Zhao Shaomen."
Shui Bi recalled.
But she was alone, and it was hard to avoid keeping an eye on both sides.
After nightfall, there were people patrolling outside the courtyards on both sides, so she retreated in fear of being discovered.
"You have done a good job, and you have worked hard today."
Ye Lingyue was very satisfied with Shui Bi's reaction.
The effect of the puppet talisman on Shui Bi became more and more obvious, Ye Lingyue thought about it, and then used it on Nanny Huang and the other two maidservants.
After Shui Bi retreated, Ye Lingyue walked up to the two clothes and took a closer look.
"What the hell happened to the pollen on it?"
Ye Lingyue weighed the clothes, but she was still worried.
"It looks like I have to go there myself."
Ye Lingyue thought about it, the Chu Qin family will definitely take action tonight.
She must seize the last chance.
Ye Lingyue immediately drew an invisibility talisman.
As soon as the talisman was on her body, she took advantage of the night and quietly left Mr. Huanhua.
The old matriarch's birthday banquet will be held tomorrow, and the whole mansion is decorated with lights and festoons, looking very happy.
Zhou Xiong's body was placed in a side courtyard, and Ye Lingyue found Chu Qin's courtyard all the way by relying on memory.
The courtyard where the Chu Qin family lived was named Xuyang Residence, and it was the residence of the Chu Qin family and Chu Mu's father, Chu Zhaoyang.
Compared to Chu Qin's bitterness and Chu Mu's success at a young age, Chu Zhaoyang is an honest man.
He has always been reserved and professional in the Chu Mansion, and he is very responsible.
To Ye Lingyue, the daughter-in-law, it is not considered harsh treatment.
As Shui Bi said earlier, there were many guards walking back and forth outside the Chu Qin family's courtyard, and the guard seemed to be very tight.
Ye Lingyue looked at the time, it was almost midnight.
The patrols of the guards are still very frequent, but fortunately she is carrying an invisibility talisman.
This kind of invisibility talisman of ninety-nine places is very useful in Cangmang Continent.
This is also thanks to the fact that the Cangmang Continent respects the inscriptions and underestimates the skills of other alchemists.
Ye Lingyue sneaked into Xuyangju without anyone noticing.
Chu Zhaoyang and Chu Qin's family have been married for many years, and the relationship between the couple can only be regarded as ordinary.
Chu Qin's family has a powerful personality. In the early years, Chu Zhaoyang had a maidservant who grew up with her. Chu Zhaoyang wanted to take her as a concubine, but Chu Qin's family refused no matter what. He collapsed and died.
It is said that when the maidservant died, the fetus in her womb, a baby girl, also died. One corpse and two lives, the end was very miserable.
It was rumored outside that the Chu Qin family invited sorcerers to conspire to kill the maidservant, but there has been no conclusive evidence.
Chu Zhaoyang made a big fuss over this, but in the end the old lady stepped forward and calmed down the matter.
Since then, Chu Zhaoyang has been living in a separate room with the Chu Qin family.
Chu Zhaoyang lives in the south wing of Xuyang residence, and Chu Qin's family lives in the east wing. Shui Bi told Ye Lingyue about these things earlier.
Ye Lingyue looked at the South Chamber, and saw that it had already been extinguished.
Looking at the east chamber, it was also pitch black, and it seemed that the Chu Qin clan had already rested.
"Could it be that the Chu Qin family really didn't have any conspiracy?"
Ye Lingyue was puzzled.
She hesitated for a moment, but still determined to trust her subconscious mind, and kept guard in secret.
If the Chu Qin family really had any conspiracy, they would definitely show their feet tonight.
Ye Lingyue secretly hid outside the east chamber.
Before and after dawn, there was still no movement.
Just when Ye Lingyue thought that she was going to return empty-handed today, she heard the sound of shuttle.
The sound came from a field of flowers behind the east chamber.
The sound came from far to near, and it came from the wall.
Although Ye Lingyue's eyesight is not as good as before, her spiritual sense is very good.
The spiritual thoughts spread quietly, and saw the wall of Xuyangju, and a yellow smoke rose.
Yellow smoke billowed, and a large cobra with a triangular head and the thickness of a bucket came out from within.
The cobra, spitting out the letter, made a hissing sound, which made people feel their scalp tingling for a while.
"The King Manduo Snake is extremely poisonous and a four-star celestial beast. This snake is a combination of a human and a snake, and it is suspected to be from the Sawu tribe in the Northern Territory."
The magic talisman in the body reacted quickly again.
It's just that the information that Ye Lingyue can get is only written in this way.
The Northern Territory, as Ye Lingyue remembers, is also one of the Lower Heaven Territories.
According to the records in the history of heaven, the Northern Territory is different from the Cangmang Continent. The Tiantian Territory is very desolate, half of which is the frozen surface, and the other half is the desert Gobi.
Speaking of which, when Ye Lingyue and Xi Jiuye fought side by side, the northern border when they first arrived in the northern border is somewhat similar.
