The Peasant Girl's Glory

Chapter 122
Pearl wore a curtain on her head and looked at a young man in the dark.

This man was her cousin Chen Qing, and she followed him all the way, just to confirm what Zhang Xiuxian said to her.

Chen Qing was standing in front of a house knocking on the door. After a while, the gate of the house creaked open, and a beautiful looking woman came out.

The woman seemed very happy when she saw Chen Qing, and threw herself directly into Chen Qing's arms.

And Chen Qing was not surprised at all, as if he was used to being like a woman.

With a smile on his face, he raised his hand and hugged the woman tightly, and hugged her into the yard together.

The sun today is very bright. The sun shines on the begonia and golden hairpin on the woman's head, shaking Pearl's eyes.

Tears fell from Pearl's eyes, from one drop or two, to finally crying silently.

The begonia and golden hairpin belonged to her. She once jumped into the icy lake to pick up the handkerchief that had fallen for the lady, and the lady gave it to her.

She was always reluctant to wear it. Later, Chen Qing said that she wanted to save money to redeem her life. She was very moved at the time, so she took it out and handed it over to Chen Qing, hoping to save enough money for redemption with him and leave the house for reunion as soon as possible.

She was full of joy and looked forward to it forever, but now, the golden hairpin on the woman's head pierced her dream and pierced her heart into full of holes.

Shen Furong, who was not far away, glanced at Pearl who was crying silently, turned her head and said to Yu Zhonglou with a complicated expression:
"Sure enough, it's been a long time since the old people replaced the old ones. It's never wrong to sing in the play. You men are all heartless men. When you get tired of playing, you abandon them like scumbags."

Yu Chonglou, who was lying innocently, was immediately dissatisfied and clarified: "Slander, it's all slander, I'm clearly dedicated to my feelings, and I will never change until death."

Shen Furong glanced at him who was righteously speaking, "That lady Wang..."

"I really have nothing to do with her, I just treat her as my sister."

"I'm afraid people don't simply treat you as a brother."

Shen Furong poked a word, Yu Chonglou gritted his teeth and looked at her, and after a while he said, "That's her business, not me."

Shen Furong stared at Yu Chonglou, and was about to say something when she saw Zhuer walking back in a daze out of the corner of her eyes, and she hurriedly greeted her:

"Don't be sad, it's not worth it for such a man!"

Pearl nodded, raised her sleeves to wipe away the tears, and a firm light flashed in her eyes, "Okay, please send me back to Zhang Mansion!"

***

Zhang Xiuxian searched around the place where Pearl had disappeared for a long time, but couldn't find the shadow of Pearl, so she had no choice but to go back to Zhang's house.

But when she arrived at Zhang Mansion, she found something was wrong.

At this moment, the vermilion gate of Zhang Mansion was closed, and there was not a single guard in front of the gate.

She ordered someone to drive the carriage to the back corner door to enter, and found that the entire inner courtyard of Zhang Mansion was also dead, as if something serious was brewing.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiuxian's heart suddenly sank, and an ominous feeling came to her heart.

She turned around and wanted to leave immediately, but her arms were caught by two rough women who appeared out of nowhere.

She was shocked and shouted sharply: "Let go of me! What are you doing? This girl is the first lady of the palace!"

The faces of the two old women were expressionless, and there was not much turbulence in their words. It seemed that they only knew how to communicate:

"Eldest girl, the master has sent you to the study to ask questions. Please come with us."

Zhang Xiuxian looked at the two women with a pale face, and blurted out:

"Why is my father looking for me? I have to go back to the room and change clothes before I can go."

"No need, I'm afraid I can't wait!"

The two old ladies didn't give Zhang Xiuxian another chance, they directly grabbed her arms from left to right and dragged them towards the study.

……

Zhang Xiuxian felt uneasy all the way, going up and down, and when she was taken to the study, when she saw Pearl kneeling on the ground, her face changed greatly, and she felt terrified.

Hearing the footsteps, Pearl turned back and glanced at her calmly, as if she was already prepared, just waiting for her to enter the urn.

Zhang Xiuxian felt bad.

Her eyes swept across the house with different expressions of father, mother and uncles. She didn't have time to think too much, she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Pearl, her eyes widened, and she shouted:

"You bitch, you have done such evil things, and you were all tied up by Mrs. Liu, and you dared to run away halfway, making me look for it!"

Pearl lightly peeled off her fingers, "Miss, you don't have to act anymore, I have already handed the purse containing the fierce spider powder to the master."

"What purse? It's not mine at all!"

Zhang Xiuxian pretended to be calm, she wouldn't be foolish enough to use her purse for trouble. She bought that purse on the street, and there was no mark on it.

"You wicked obstacle, you dare to argue, Zhang Fu's face has been thrown away by you!"

When Master Zhang heard the words, he raised his hand and threw a stack of shopping lists and a stack of medicine shop bottom books on Zhang Xiuxian's face, "What else do you have to say?"

Seeing these things clearly, Zhang Xiuxian's brain suddenly buzzed, and her eyes went black for a while.

"No, Daddy, listen to my explanation, I was wronged..."

Zhang Xiuxian was completely panicked. She knelt on the ground and hugged Mr. Zhang's leg tightly, "Daddy, Daddy, my daughter is wronged, someone wants to harm her..."

"Someone hurt the big girl? It's the big girl who wants to hurt others, right!"

At this moment, Pearl suddenly raised her head and looked at Zhang Xiuxian with hatred in her eyes, "Miss, how did Ma Si die? You should know best!"

Horse four?

The eldest princess draws the boatman on the boat!

Zhang Xiuxian suddenly widened her eyes, her mouth opened slightly, and her face was incredulous.

At the beginning, she was worried that Ma Si would be arrested, and then confessed her, so she killed him in the jungle while Ma Si was unprepared.

But no one else was there, so how did Pearl know about it?
No, she couldn't possibly know!
Zhang Xiuxian shook her head and cried, "I-I don't know, I don't know what you're talking about, I don't know anything!"

Pearl smiled, stared at Zhang Xiuxian coldly, and slowly opened her palm: "Do you still remember this Dongzhu, eldest girl?"

On the palm of Pearl's palm is a huge and full Dongzhu, which is crystal clear, round and dazzling, reflecting the small "Xian" character on the Dongzhu.

This Dongzhu was originally a pair of two, but it was custom-made at Zhuyu Pavilion when she was born. Later, she had her embroidered shoes inlaid with gold towel wrapped in silk.

That day, when the Grand Duke hosted a banquet, she wore these embroidered shoes to the banquet in order to show off to others. When she didn't want to come back, she found that the Dongzhu on one of the shoes was gone.

She was vigilant at the time, and was about to order someone to look for it, but Pearl knelt in front of her to plead guilty, saying that she had returned from Huanyifang and accidentally dropped Dongzhu, who was off the line, into the water.

She also used this to severely punish Pearl, not wanting this Dongzhu to appear here at the moment.

And there are red traces on the Dongzhu, which seems to be dried blood.

"The eldest girl must not know," Pearl said slowly. "That day, the slave waited in front of the carriage for a long time. When the eldest girl did not return, she found it in the dense forest, and happened to witness the eldest girl kill Ma Si..."

"... After the eldest girl left, I held back my panic and walked quietly to Ma Si, wanting to see if he was still breathing..."
