Chapter 499 Morning Dew (Part 1)
The darkness before dawn.
The gate of Daohongxuan slowly opened a crack. Qingwen cautiously poked her head out, and seeing that there was no one around, she hurriedly opened the door halfway and urged a few times in a low voice like a thief.
Ping'er stepped out of the door with a calm face, followed by Lin Hongyu who was behaving stealthily. Almost at the moment when the two stepped out of the door, the ebony door creaked and closed tightly.
Seeing that there was no way to retreat, Lin Hongyu gritted her teeth in hatred, walked down the stairs with her back hunched , and without caring whether Ping'er was following her or not, she swung her long, weak legs and ran towards the aisle of the second gate like flying.
She didn't pay any attention to it when she was crazy last night, until she woke up in the morning and found that Sun Shaozong had used her underwear as a rag to clean up!
If it's just used on yourself, it's okay to just grit your teeth.
But there are also Sun Shaozong and Ping Er's...
Therefore, Lin Hongyu hesitated again and again, but still couldn't make up her mind to put on the dirty underwear. She couldn't find anything to replace it for the time being, so she was actually going into battle topless. So every step she took, she felt her heart trembling, for fear that someone would see her current predicament.
She walked in the dark, one step deep and one step shallow, in the alley between the two gates. When she saw a gatehouse looming in the distance ahead, Lin Hongyu suddenly paused. Her already extremely nervous face revealed a hint of despair.
This was because the two vermilion lacquered doors under the gatehouse were now tightly connected together, and it looked like this road was blocked no matter how you looked at it.
Oops!
Lin Hongyu then remembered that the north gate between the two gates was only opened during the day and had to be locked from the inside at night!
What should I do now?!
Lin Hongyu looked back in panic, wanting to find Ping'er to discuss a strategy together, but there was no sign of Ping'er in the narrow and dark alley.
Damn it!
This bitch is so calm and collected despite her well-dressed appearance!
Lin Hongyu gnashed her teeth until they made a clattering sound, secretly thinking that if she really couldn't avoid this disaster, she would definitely drag Ping'er to accompany her to make a fool of herself.
But after she had thought over the method of revenge seven or eight times, Ping'er still didn't come up.
It's almost dawn, why hasn't she come yet?
Is he stalling for time on purpose to make fun of himself? !
The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. Lin Hongyu even went back the same way to look for Ping'er. However, when she looked at the sky that was about to brighten, she really couldn't muster the courage to turn back.
Just as he was leaning against the vermilion lacquered door, hesitating, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps coming from inside the door, followed by the sound of the door bolt being shaken.
Why are you open so early today?!
Lin Hongyu was startled at first, but then she was overjoyed. She tiptoed and hid behind the bushes, ready to wait for the person who opened the door to leave before running back home in one breath.
After a while, the red lacquered door opened halfway, and a figure poked his head out from inside. He looked around a few times and suddenly whispered, "Come out, it's me."
"It's you?!"
Lin Hongyu jumped out from the bushes, dumbfounded and said: "You...how could you..."
It turned out that the person who opened the door was none other than Ping'er, whom Lin Hongyu thought was still lagging behind.
Facing her shocked look, Ping'er simply said calmly: "The keys to the inner courtyard are all in my hands. It's not easy to find a corner door to get in."
"Then why don't you take me with you?!"
Thinking about how scared she had been just now, Lin Hongyu suddenly became furious. She came out from behind the bushes, roaring, and was ready to pounce on Ping'er and fight her to the death.
Ping'er just glanced at her indifferently, turned around and went back to the inner courtyard.
"you!"
Lin Hongyu stomped her feet angrily, but in the end she didn't dare to make any big noise , so she could only grit her teeth and follow Ping'er.
The journey was safe and sound.
When they arrived at Xiyun Pavilion where Jia Lian and his wife were staying, Lin Hongyu saw Ping'er calmly asking them to open the door and went straight to the main room where Wang Xifeng was. After a moment's hesitation, she turned around and went to the inner study where Jia Lian was staying.
Let’s not talk about Lin Hongyu.
Ping Erh pulled aside the curtain and entered the main room, where she saw the second-class maid, Sister Shan, yawning and adding hot water to the wash basin. She casually said, "Go back to the west wing to wash up. I'll be here."
Although Shanjie was eager to curry favor with Wang Xifeng, she did not dare to neglect the orders of Ping'er, the second in command, so she quickly responded and retreated with her head lowered.
After Shanjie left the room, Ping'er immediately locked the door, walked into the northwest bedroom, and step by step to the hibiscus tent, calling out "Second Madam" in a light voice.
Wang Xifeng was sleeping soundly under the quilt of Yunjin. When she heard the familiar call, she answered vaguely and asked lazily, "What time is it?"
Who knew that after asking, no one responded for a long time, but there was some sound of clothes rustling in front of the bed.
Wang Xifeng was puzzled, and finally opened her eyes a little and glanced outside the hibiscus tent, but she saw that Ping'er in front of the bed was half a head shorter, with only her neck and head exposed, and her expression was more solemn than ever before.
Wang Xifeng was startled and thought she was having a nightmare until she subconsciously sat up on the bed and saw clearly that Ping'er was kneeling on the ground.
"You little hoof!"
She patted her chest in fear and said angrily, "What's the matter with you making such a fuss so early in the morning?!"
Before she finished her words, Ping'er hit her head heavily on the ground. Even if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, you can guess that there is at least a bruise on her forehead!
"you!"
Wang Xifeng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Could it be that you caused some trouble with my aunt?!"
Last night Jia Lian lied and said that he was afraid that his sister would be frightened, so he sent Ping'er to serve her, which is why Wang Xifeng made such an assumption.
Thinking that Jia Yingchun was very likely pregnant with the eldest son of the Sun family, Wang Xifeng also became nervous. She threw away the quilt in her arms, bare her two long legs like jade pillars, stepped on the red sandalwood pedal, and said anxiously: "You have always been steady, why are you so confused about this matter? Tell me quickly, has your lady been hurt by you?!"
Ping Er raised her head and looked Wang Xifeng in the eye. She said, "To reply to Second Madam, I did not see Aunt last night."
Never seen it?
Then why did Jia Lian lie?
Could it be that the two of them wanted to do this behind my back...
That's not right. Although she has tried every means to obstruct the relationship between Jia Lian and Ping'er in the past two years, Ping'er is Jia Lian's wife after all. Even if he had sex with her behind her back, it doesn't seem to be a big deal.
What is the reason for Ping'er's current behavior?
Just as she was puzzled, Ping'er said calmly, "I actually spent the night in Daohongxuan yesterday."
"Diaohongxuan?"
Wang Xifeng murmured the place name again, and couldn't help but widen her eyes: "You said you spent the night in Daohongxuan?! But...but didn't Sun's Erlang stay in Daohongxuan yesterday?!"
Seeing that Ping'er did not deny it, Wang Xifeng was even more shocked. She thought to herself, no wonder this little bitch came to her early in the morning to "burn incense and kowtow", it turned out that she had done such a heinous act!
She stood up and paced back and forth on the sandalwood step. Suddenly, she kicked Ping'er on the shoulder and cursed with gnashing teeth, "Bitch! I thought you were a worry-free person, but I didn't expect you to be such a fickle and promiscuous woman!"
Without waiting for Ping'er to kneel down again, she asked anxiously, "Does anyone else know about this?"
When Ping'er heard this, she knew that she was intentionally trying to cover up her affair, and she couldn't help but feel a little warm in her heart. However, thinking of her purpose today, she still maintained a dull expression and said, "Qingwen, Master Bao, Xiaohong..."
Every time Ping'er mentioned a name, the annoyance on Wang Xifeng's face increased a little, especially when she heard the word "Xiaohong", her face became even more furious, and she wished she could go up and strangle this stupid little bitch to death!
Now that Lin Hongyu is trying her best to please Jia Lian and regards Ping'er as her biggest competitor, how could she possibly hide the secret for her?
In this case, even if I want to protect Ping'er, I'm afraid I'm powerless to do so.
Thinking of this, the anger on her face was mixed with a bit of determination.
Who would have thought that at this moment, Ping'er said the last name: "And the Second Master, everyone knows."
Wang Xifeng's fury suddenly turned into astonishment. She almost thought there was something wrong with her ears and asked in a trembling voice, "Who else did you say?!"
"And there is the Second Master, Second Master Lian!"
Ping Er raised her head even higher, looked directly into Wang Xifeng's eyes, and said coldly: "It was he who asked Xiao Hong and I to stay in Dao Hong Xuan to serve Master Sun!"
