"Purple Bamboo Forest?!" Fu Ling's eyes widened, "Miss asked Zizhu Forest what to do?"
Seeing Fu Ling's expression changed, Qin Wan's eyes turned and hesitantly said, "I vaguely remembered that there is a purple bamboo forest in the mansion...but I can't remember where..."
Fu Ling said nervously, "There is indeed a purple bamboo grove in the mansion, on the northeast corner of the inner courtyard, but that place is a forbidden area in the mansion, miss, please don't go there."
Qin Wan raised his eyebrows, "Forbidden place? How do you say that?"
Fu Ling glanced out of the window, and said in a low voice, "Miss, you should know that the master in our house is very affectionate, and the aunt is very affectionate. It is rumored that the second aunt in our house hanged to death in that purple bamboo forest eight years ago. It was originally a beautiful place in the mansion, but since then, Zizhu Forest has become a forbidden place, and some people say that the place is haunted by ghosts."
Fu Ling shuddered, "Let's not talk about the masters now, even the servants will not go there."
A few days ago, Fu Ling said that Qin An, the head of the third house of the Zhongyonghou Mansion, was romantic by nature and took in many concubines. Now there are four Aunt Guang in the mansion. Qin Wan frowned, and suddenly sneezed uncontrollably .
Seeing this, Fu Ling hurriedly grabbed Qin Wan, "Miss, come in and change your wet clothes, your body can't afford to torment now, Miss Fifth and Miss Six are really vicious, even though you know Miss just fell into the lake, you can still play tricks on Miss like that today!"
Qin Wan obediently went into the inner room to change clothes, but his thoughts did not stop.
The bamboo branch is fresh green, the fracture is thick and broken, and the stem has purple spots, it is undoubtedly the purple bamboo.
Fu Ling said that the purple bamboo forest is in the northeast corner of the inner courtyard. From the northeast corner to Banyue Lake, it is impossible for purple bamboo branches to appear at the bottom of the lake for no reason.
Could it be that Miss Jiu was killed in that purple bamboo forest
Miss Nine is timid, so why would she go to a forbidden place where there are rumors of ghosts
Qin Wan was full of doubts in his heart, but he had no choice but to go to Zizhu Forest to find out what happened immediately.
First, she had just been lifted from the grounds, so she just ran to Banyue Lake, and even ran to the Purple Bamboo Forest. If Miss Jiu was really killed in the Purple Bamboo Forest, this trip would definitely arouse the suspicion of the murderer. Second, Fu Ling would not let her go .
"In the past few days, has anyone been spying on us outside the courtyard?"
After changing clothes, Qin Wan leaned on the low couch by the window and asked.
Fu Ling was making tea, and snorted softly, "It's too much! A few days ago, when the ceremony was not over, the maidservant went to get food at the gate of the courtyard, and Mrs. Liu in the kitchen asked how you were doing. The maidservant saw it clearly. Behind her Followed a group of people…”
Qin Wan coughed twice, "How do you answer?"
Fu Ling sighed, "Speaking of which, Lady Liu is the only one who treats us better in this mansion, so I'll tell the truth, although the young lady narrowly escaped death this time, she seems to have hurt her head and can't remember clearly."
Qin Wan suddenly realized that it was strange that the murderer hadn't been seen these days, but it turned out to be because of this reason. The murderer probably thought she had lost his memory and relaxed his vigilance.
This gave her more time.
"Cough, cough, cough." Thinking Qin Wan, she couldn't help coughing again, she said inwardly, she might have caught a cold.
"At this moment, the lady coughed many times. The lady must be sick."
Fu Ling became nervous, "My maidservant, please go to Aunt Liu to ask Aunt Liu to help us get some medicine from the master of the pharmacy in the mansion, but it's just that it's really expensive to ask for medicine from the mansion, and there are not many things left by the lady." file..."
Qin Wan frowned when he heard this. Is this how the servants in this mansion are taking advantage of their masters and servants
"Can't you go out and buy it?"
Fu Ling smiled wryly, "Miss Fifth and Miss Six's personal servants were able to leave the mansion, but the servants and Miss were stopped when they wanted to go out. That was two years ago. Since then, Miss has never mentioned the matter of leaving the mansion. , we are really not as good as servants."
Qin Wan's eyes darkened, "You won't let out the gate of the house?"
Fuling was quite upset with Qin Wan and said, "Miss came to the Qin mansion in the past few years, and the number of times she went out of the mansion can be counted on one's fingers. In the first two years, the old lady brought the lady with her to worship the ancestors at the Buddhist Temple during the New Year's Eve. In the past two years, she forgot The lady looks like... "
Qin Wan stood up and began to pull her hair.
Fu Ling stared blankly at Qin Wan, "Miss, this is going to..."
"Go out and buy medicine."
Not to mention going out to buy medicine, after so many days of waking up, it's time for her to visit Jinzhou City.
Fuling didn't expect Qin Wan to do what she said, and when she came back to her senses, Qin Wan had already put on her cloak and went out. Fuling hurriedly followed, although she was a little nervous, but looking at Qin Wan's straight back, she felt uneasy in her heart. Dispersed, and a little excited.
Exiting the courtyard gate, headed south all the way, then turned to the west, and arrived at the west gate where the servants of the Qin family's family came in and out.
Before approaching, the gatekeeper was stunned in surprise.
The news that Ban Yuehu pushed Miss Six into the water had just spread, and they never thought that Miss Ninth was going to leave the house. Subconsciously, they stopped Qin Wan.
"Miss Jiu, you are not allowed to leave the mansion without Madam's order."
"The old lady can't help me, but you dare to stop me?"
Qin Wan wore a moon-white veil skirt and a cloak with moon-white orchid branches of the same color. She raised her chin slightly and looked at the young concierge with gloomy eyes. Her voice was not loud, but every word fell heavily on the ground. Concierge heart.
He knew that the old lady had lifted the restraint in the west backyard, but Miss Nine had been staying in her own yard in peace, and he was not sure what the old lady meant.
The concierge hesitated, and then looked at Qin Wan, but saw Qin Wan's thin figure was as straight as a bamboo, and his aura was overwhelming. It seemed that if he stopped again, he was disobeying the old lady's order!
The concierge became tense, and was immediately at a loss.
Seeing them like this, Qin Wan walked out calmly, the two gatekeepers looked at each other, and no one dared to step forward to stop them.
Qin Wan walked out of the mansion, and one of them came to his senses, "Quickly report to the old lady!"
After finishing speaking, the concierge wiped the sweat off his brow and looked in the direction Qin Wan left.
This, this is that cowardly Miss Nine
Walking on the street outside the Qin Mansion, Fu Ling couldn't restrain her excitement and said, "Miss was so imposing just now, they were so scared that they didn't dare to talk back. Miss was not like this before, why did you..."
"After all, if you die once, you can't be as useless as before."
Qin Wan answered, Fu Linghong nodded, "Miss, it's great to think so. Miss is a serious master, but she didn't like this in the past. Today..."
Qin Wan has done two things today, one, pulled Qin Shuang down the lake, and two, forced her out of the house.
These two things are very different from the kind and cowardly Qin Wan in the past.
"It's like this in the world. If you know you are kind, they will get worse. If you know you are fierce, they will shrink back in awe." Qin Wan said, looking at Jinzhou City under the warm sun.
Jinzhou is in the south of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it takes one month to go to the capital on a fast horse. It already belongs to the border towns. Even so, Jinzhou is an important town in the south, with a majestic city and prosperous agriculture and commerce. Looking around, the continuous cornices and bucket arches show the majestic atmosphere of Jinzhou City.
Walking along the main street outside the west gate, it didn't take long to arrive at an extremely lively market. Qin Wan didn't intend to be busy, so he looked for any medicine shops beside the street. After looking around, he only saw restaurants and teahouses with carved beams and painted buildings.
Just as he was wondering if he should change the street, Qin Wan suddenly found that there were many people surrounded on the street ten feet ahead.
"Miss! What happened there?!"
Poria has a lively temper, and she has not been out of the house for the past two years, so now she is very interested in anything new when she is outside.
Seeing her curious eyes, Qin Wan walked over.
As soon as they approached, a young girl's anxious cry came from the crowd, "My old lady is ill! I beg some kind person to help find a doctor—"
Qin Wan frowned and entered the crowd.
