Chapter 17
That slap hit Wen Qing on the face.
The eldest lady is an elder, so Wen Qing naturally cannot fight back, nor can he grab the eldest lady's wrist like before.
After all, she was a woman, so Wen Qing just stepped forward and stood in front of Wen Yao.
Wen Yao heard this sound clearly in his ears.
She was startled and subconsciously stared at Wen Qing's back with wide eyes, a little more disbelief in her eyes.
The scene of Wen Qing standing in front of her felt very familiar to her. A senior brother in her organization had also protected her in this way.
The training of mercenaries is very difficult and dangerous. She acted without permission many times because of disobeying orders. The leader who was still in charge of them at the time punished her more severely, and her senior brother took the punishment every time.
of.
The coldness in Wen Yao's eyes became more and more serious. She could allow others to hurt her, but she would never allow others to hurt those around her.
She pinched her fingertips and took a bead from the hairpin in her hand.
Just when the doctor was so angry that she wanted to extend her hand and continue to hit, she flicked her fingers, and the doctor felt a numbness in her legs. She had used too much force when hitting the person, and her body lost balance for a moment.
Wen Qing avoided subconsciously, and the eldest lady fell directly to the ground. There happened to be a table in front of her, and her head was bleeding in the blink of an eye.
The maid at the back was shocked and immediately stepped forward to help the eldest lady up. The eldest lady covered her head. When she saw the blood on her hands, she rolled her eyes and fainted.
This time, the backyard is even more messy.
Wen Qing frowned slightly. After all, this incident happened because of him. He took out a medicine bottle from his arms and handed it to the nanny next to him: "Put this on Madam."
The nanny raised her head and glanced at him, with a look of disgust in her eyebrows.
But she didn't say anything else and put the medicine away impatiently.
Wen Qing took back his hand and sighed slightly.
When he turned around, he found that Wen Yao, who was still standing in the room, had disappeared.
He narrowed his eyes, with a hint of worry in his eyes, and quickly stepped out to look for traces of Wen Yao.
At this time, Wen Yao had already arrived in the front yard. There were several well-equipped guards stationed outside the courtyard gate, with sabers hanging on their waists, looking very mighty and serious.
Wen Yao narrowed her eyes, and there was a bit more fierceness in her eyes. When she came back this time, she also wanted to find clues in this mansion, as well as evidence that someone else had killed the original owner.
The Prime Minister's Mansion is so big that it is really troublesome to find the house where the original owner lived. Her memory is not very clear, so she can only search through servants.
Looking past the door of the living room, he saw two maids walking out carrying teacups, lowering their heads and muttering.
"His Royal Highness Dongwang is really handsome. I dare not raise my head to look at him."
"How dare you raise your head? I feel frightened even when I get close to him. I heard that our young master made a mistake, and Prince Dong is here to investigate the crime."
"Since the eldest son became the commander-in-chief of the imperial court, hasn't he always done a good job? Why does King Dong want to cause trouble for him?"
"That's true, and judging from the Prime Minister's face, he looks very bad. It must be King Dong who has made an attack..."
The two people passed by the flower bed in front of Wen Yao, so Wen Yao heard their words clearly.
It seems that the Prime Minister's Mansion and King Dong are not dealing with each other in the first place, and this time Mo Dongliu came here just because the weasel was uneasy about paying New Year's greetings to the chicken.
However, she didn't have a good impression of the Prime Minister's Mansion. This big family just used the former Wen Yao as a prop in exchange for benefits. There was no love for half a day, and she wished they could bite each other.
The two of them were carrying tea, and they were bound to go to the dining room. Wen Yao happened to be a little hungry, so he planned to go there for a bite to eat.
Following them all the way, the two maids obviously knew a lot of gossip about the mansion, and they spilled it out like they were pouring beans, without noticing that anyone was following them at all.
"Then why does the third prince, who is so handsome and an heir to the emperor, fall in love with the idiot second lady? Not only is she stupid, but she is also very ugly. Every time she sees her face, she is always dirty, and she doesn't know what she has smeared on her face.
stuff."
"When you mentioned this, I remembered that one time I went to the backyard to deliver food to her, and she actually lay on the ground and fought with a wild dog for food. It really made me laugh. I heard that her mother had a good background and was just dead.
For more than ten years, this mansion has not allowed him to mention it."
"Hey, I heard from others that her mother was very sinister back then and poisoned our wife."
"So vicious?"
The two maids said nothing to each other and directly described Wen Yao's mother as a heinous woman. Wen Yao remained calm. When the two maids walked to the corner, Wen Yao patted them.
Shoulder.
The two of them turned their heads curiously.
Wen Yao didn't give them a chance to see him clearly and punched them in the eyes one by one.
The force was precise, leaving no chance for the other party to react. The two maids immediately screamed and fell to the ground, covering their eyes in pain.
Wen Yao clapped his hands, left the two of them and left.
Someone in the kitchen heard the sound and chased after them with a few people, but they looked around and saw no one. When they saw two maids lying on the ground with bloodshot eyes, they quickly asked: "What's wrong with you two? What happened?"
?"
The two maids were crying and couldn't speak clearly: "I don't know, we were walking here, and suddenly someone hit us. We were so anxious that we didn't see clearly who it was."
When the kitchen manager heard this, he couldn't help but frown and said, "I think you have offended someone by accident. Go back."
Wen Yao took advantage of what happened with the two maids at the door to attract everyone's attention. At this time, they had arrived in the kitchen, and her eyes immediately fell on the exquisitely plated tea cups placed next to them.
She squinted her eyes and smelled it. She had never eaten this thing before. Although she had been a mercenary for so many years, she lived a life of licking blood with the tip of a knife every day, and she really didn't enjoy it much.
These were all freshly served in the kitchen, and no one had touched the chopsticks yet. Wen Yao opened the lid and took a curious sip.
The rich aroma hit her face. The chef in this mansion was really good. The sweet-scented osmanthus porridge was rich and soft, which was her favorite taste.
Wen Yao has a sweet tooth, and she especially likes that kind.
She frowned slightly and was about to take another sip when she heard footsteps coming from outside.
"Send the sweet-scented osmanthus porridge prepared for Dong Wang quickly. This is made by the chef specially hired by the Prime Minister from the Baixiang Pavilion in the city."
Wen Yao quickly dodged and hid, leaving the bowl of porridge he had just drank intact in its place.
