The Demon Concubine of God

Kui'er was a child. Although she was a bystander to those murders, she couldn't really explain it clearly. She only knew that one person died and the other was arrested. It was said that both of them had their hands and feet broken and became disabled. Shen Wen asked her about the details of what happened. She grabbed her head and looked around anxiously, saying, "Oh, don't ask me. I don't know anything about this. Anyway, you just need to be careful. I'm leaving now."

Kui'er ran away, so Shen Wen had to leave as well.

Shen Wen walked in the direction of the big kitchen. The big kitchen was very large, with a vegetable garden where vegetables were grown, chicken and duck cages, and a pig pen. Shen Wen deliberately went into the big kitchen to take a look. It was past dinner time, and the cooks and maids who were cooking had gone back to rest. Only a woman who was watching the fire was left. Her eyes were blurry and she seemed to be deaf. She did not respond when Shen Wen called her from behind.

Shen Wen left the kitchen and walked along the vegetable garden to the back. There was a bamboo forest behind it. There was a courtyard behind the bamboo forest, and it was a large courtyard with a high gate. There was a gatehouse in the courtyard. Shen Wen sneaked to the door and listened inside. The gatekeeper inside was talking.

Through their conversation, Shen Wen realized that the owner of this courtyard seemed to be called Master Chen. He invited a group of distinguished guests to the courtyard for a drink today, but heard that Master Ji was ill, so a group of people went to see Master Ji first.

After listening to this, Shen Wen planned to go around to the back and climb over the wall to take a look inside. She thought that this Master Chen might be the person she was looking for. But before she left, she heard the following conversation inside:

"Hey? Do you think our master will fulfill his wish this time and bring the Chu sisters from the Waterside Tower here?"

"You! Forget it. The Chu sisters are famous prostitutes. If you force her to do something like this, unless she is willing, it will be troublesome if people find out. Not to mention anything else, Master Shi will turn against our master."

"No... last time... didn't you hear what our Master Chen said? He also boasted to us about how soft and attractive this little sister Chu was?"

"That was when Master Shi took the elixir and became unconscious. He was so regretful afterwards that he has ignored Master Chen until now."

"Then why did our Master Chen come here so happily this time? Didn't he say he wanted to play with a new person?"

"Hehe... He is just a newcomer. It was Madam Xu who sent someone to tell Master Chen about him, and she also gave him a large sum of money."

After hearing this, Shen Wen gave up the idea of ​​entering the yard. She felt it necessary to meet the woman named Aunt Hua and find out who Madam Xu was.

Shen Wen returned to the way he came and found the way back to Shuixie Tower based on his memory.

After entering the north gate of the Waterside Pavilion, he turned to the northwest gate. After exiting the northwest gate, there was a wide canal. As Xiaohong said, there were indeed small boats on the canal. Shen Wen got on the boat and rowed west. At first, he rowed against the current, which was very strenuous. After rowing for a distance, the water changed direction and began to flow north. The water flow was very fast. Shen Wen felt that there was something wrong with the water flow, so he did not change direction and followed the water flow to the end. He found that he had arrived at the north gate of the Ji Mansion. When the water flowed to a distance of two miles from the mansion wall, it dispersed and gathered into the artificially dug canal. The canal was dug very ingeniously, divided into three above-ground canals and five underground canals, each of which flowed under the wall and concealed itself. On the surface, there was only one large canal, and it would not break down the wall. Shen Wen guessed that there should be a river behind the wall.

Shen Wen's shoes were covered with mud, making it difficult for her to walk, so she squatted down to take off her shoes and scraped the mud with a stone. She squatted down just behind the bushes. At this time, she heard a group of footsteps passing by, led by a woman who was talking.

"Listen carefully, everyone. When you leave this room, don't tell anyone about what happened today. If you tell anyone, you should know what will happen to you, even without me telling you."

A man behind him said quickly, "Yes, yes, yes... We will definitely not tell anyone."

The woman said "hmm" in dissatisfaction.

Immediately, a clever one said, "We are a group of beggars who came to the Ji Mansion to beg for food. We heard that the Ji Mansion had free porridge, but we didn't know the rules and went to the wrong place... went to the wrong place..."

The woman then said "hmm" in satisfaction.

The woman stood by and watched the group of people leave the north gate, and then she breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, another woman came behind her and said to her: "She has gone out to deliver a letter to the master, let's go back."

The woman nodded.

Just listen to them talking

"The girl hesitated. I think we should just kill the troublemaker, so that she won't go crazy and ruin our good deeds."

"You don't understand. Chu Yanqiu is very capable, and our master is very afraid of him. That's why he asked us to use Hua Jieyu as a cover to divert Chu Yanqiu's attention. Let her make trouble. The more she tries to commit suicide, the less suspicious we will be. Chu Yanqiu, oh Chu Yanqiu, who asked this infatuated woman to be so crazy."

Sudden.

The woman who was sighing noticed that someone was eavesdropping, so she shouted, "Who is it? Come out!"

Shen Wen raised his left hand sheepishly, gradually poking his head out of the bushes and said, "Sorry... I was just cleaning my shoes, I didn't mean to eavesdrop."

The woman was stunned when she saw Shen Wen, and then she looked at the woman behind her, and asked in confusion: "Miss Shen? Is it really you? How come you... "

She quickly put down her guard and reached out to take Shen Wen out, saying, "Who brought you here? Do you know how dangerous this place is? Come on... hurry and leave here with us first."

So Shen Wen followed them and left.

The two women were named Xianglan and Xiaojiu.

Xianglan is older and looks reserved and steady, while Xiaojiu is younger and more lively but always pretends to be mature.

So even though Xiaojiu looked aloof, she couldn't hide her inner thoughts. For example, she was closest to Shen Wen at this moment, and she frequently glanced at Shen Wen secretly. Every time Shen Wen asked a question, she answered it very quickly.

Shen Wen asked them their ages, names and which families they came from. Shen Wen also asked, "Just now I seemed to see a group of beggars. How did they get to Ji's house? What are they going to do?"

Xiao Jiu replied: "Of course they did something bad. Girl, you have to be careful. They came for you, so if someone tricks you out next time, you have to be careful."

Shen Wen said: "Oh, you are talking about your mistress, Aunt Hua, right? I just heard her say something like Hua Jieyu is crazy and crazy."

Xiao Jiu chuckled and said, "Really? Did we say that? I'm afraid Miss Shen heard it wrong. We will not slander our master."

Of course you have the right to say this, because Hua Jieyu is not her master, so how can you say that she has slandered her master?

Shen Wen suddenly glanced behind Xiao Jiu, and she was stunned for half a second...

She saw a big tail...

Then it disappeared like an illusion.

Shen Wen looked at Xianglan again, but she didn't.

At this time, they heard a man's voice talking to himself in a tree not far away.

Xianglan and Xiaojiu looked at each other and hurriedly said to Shen Wen, "Miss, it's safe here. Next, you just need to walk back along this road and you will reach the outer wall of the opera house. The young master in the eldest master's room is playing on the tree. You should hide away from him because he has a erratic temper. We can't let anyone know that we are here. We will leave first."

So the two of them picked a hidden road and left first.

When Shen Wen arrived under the tree, she saw a young boy holding a fox and waiting under the tree, looking at her.

Shen Wen walked over and teased, "It turned out to be a little fox holding an old fox."

The fox ancestor rolled his eyes at Tong Xianyu in her arms and thought to himself: You are old. My fox clan has a longer lifespan than you humans. According to the lifespan of my fox clan, I am only twenty-four or twenty-five years old.

The little fox laughed and greeted Shen Wen affectionately.

Shen Wen said: "You came here just to see me?"

The little fox said, "Yes, it's almost time for dinner. I'll treat you to dinner."

Shen Wen followed the little fox to the garden. There was a slope in the garden. On the slope was a pavilion called Mantian Pavilion. It was elegant and spacious, and people could sit inside and enjoy the view. It was very comfortable.

Two people and a fox arrived at the Mantian Pavilion, where food was already laid out on the stone table.

Shen Wen looked at the dishes and said, there were boiled chicken, roasted chicken, braised chicken, braised beef, beef jerky, and a bowl of milk dessert. She asked, "Are they all meat?"

The little fox stretched his neck to smell the aroma of meat and replied, "Yes, these are all your favorite foods. Am I generous?"

That's what you like to eat, okay? Who doesn't know that foxes love to eat chicken?

Shen Wen looked at the little fox and then at the old ancestor. After thinking for a while, he asked, "I was talking to a little girl just now, and I found that she had a strange thing. Do you want to know?"

The little fox asked curiously: "What's the strange place?"

Shen Wen leaned close to the little fox's ear and whispered, "I saw that she has a tail like a fox."

After hearing this, the little fox laughed and said, "You mean Xiaojiu? She is the same person as me. Just now, the ancestor played a trick to remind you that she is one of ours."
