Exiting the small garden is a winding verandah.

There are lush vegetation on both sides of the verandah, and from time to time there is the sound of dripping night dew.

In addition, there was no movement, whether it was the chirping of insects or the chirping of birds, it was as if they had been wiped out and disappeared.

"Miss, where are you?"

"Miss……"

The maid walked in front and shouted, looking around from time to time. Occasionally she would climb up against the beauty on the verandah, lean forward and push aside the grass and trees, and carefully observe the situation inside.

Pei Ling stayed far behind, keeping a considerable distance, and constantly using pillars, railings, etc. to hide his figure, ensuring that even if the other party suddenly turned around, he would always be able to avoid his sight.

After exiting the verandah, you are faced with a hexagonal garden door. After entering, you can see the green brick paved floor, towering ancient trees, and many flowers and plants hanging down the rockery, making it look extremely prosperous and lush.

The maid walked along the winding path, shouting from time to time: "Miss, where are you?"

During the whole process, she didn't look back once, as if she didn't notice anyone following her at all.

Suddenly, the maid's screams stopped.

Pei Ling hid immediately, but after waiting for a moment, he didn't see the other party turning around and walking back. He couldn't help but feel something in his heart. Did the other party find "Miss"?

So, he looked around to make sure there was no one around, then walked out of the hiding place and groped forward.

Behind the rockery, I saw a gorgeous house.

At this moment, a lamp was lit inside, and the bright candlelight shone outside through the window lattice, projecting two figures, one sitting and one standing, on the fan.

The sitting bead is surrounded by greenery, and the steps are swaying. In the middle of the night, the hairpin ring has not yet been removed.

The one standing with her hair in a flat bun was obviously the maid just now.

"Madam." The maid seemed to bow her knees and said respectfully.

The lady asked calmly: "Where is Xiang'e? Have you found it?"

The maid whispered: "My maid is useless. I have searched the whole house and can't find the lady."

The lady asked: "Where did Xiang'e last appear?"

The maid said: "When I return to Madam, I will be in the embroidery upstairs."

"At that time, the young lady said she wanted to embroider a parrot and asked the maid to get a parrot cage to make a pattern. The maid took the parrot and returned upstairs, but the young lady disappeared..."

Pei Ling squatted half-crouched, using the skirt panel under the fan to hide her figure. Listening to the voices coming from inside, she immediately knew that the girl the maid was looking for had a maiden name of "Xiang'e", and the person who was asking the question was sitting there.

, is the mistress of this house, and should also be the mother of her current identity.

At present, "Xiang'e" didn't know what happened and disappeared from the embroidery building. However, the conversation between the mistress and the maid sounded very calm for some reason, as if the missing person was not the young lady, but a lost item.

Ordinary items...

After listening for a while, seeing that he couldn't get any more information, Pei Ling prepared to leave quietly.

But at this moment, a gust of cold wind blew through, and suddenly a chill hit his whole body. He quickly covered his mouth with force, but his weak body still couldn't suppress a violent cough.

"Cough cough cough..."

The conversation between the lady and the maid in the room suddenly stopped.

Pei Ling's expression changed, this body is too weak!

Just now, I didn't feel anything after following along all the way, but now, after catching the cold, I can hardly even stand firm!

"Zheng'er, why are you here?" Madam's voice came out immediately from inside. Immediately afterwards, the door was opened, and a woman dressed as a matron in gorgeous clothes walked out quickly with two maids.

.

The faces of these three people all wore masks that looked like iron. Judging from their figures and attires, the two maids serving the lady were one of the ones he was following just now, and the other was there to deliver medicine to him.

That one.

Seeing that his maid was here, Pei Ling looked calm. In this situation, he must not panic!

The inheritance of "curses" is nothing more than curses and disputes.

Among them, Zhengdao... is to pretend to be someone else and replace everything including his fate!

His current identity is the young master of this house.

The more perfect your performance is, the safer you will be now!

Thinking of this, Pei Ling forced himself to salute and said, "I've seen my child...cough cough cough cough..."

Before he finished speaking, he coughed violently again, and a strong sense of weakness came over him. For a moment, Pei Ling felt like stars were rising in front of his eyes, and the world was spinning. He immediately became unsteady and fell to the side.

The mistress and two maids immediately stepped forward and supported him with all their hands and feet.

"Take Zheng'er back to your room!" the mistress immediately ordered, with obvious anxiety in her tone.

The two maids said respectfully: "Yes!"

They carefully picked up Pei Ling and walked towards the way they came.

The mistress followed closely beside her, her bun swaying slightly rhythmically with her steps, making her look even more dignified.

During this process, Pei Ling's mind was still clear, but he couldn't use any strength in his body. If any one of the three masters and servants wanted to harm him, he would not be able to fight back.

While Pei Ling was panting, he was thinking rapidly in his mind.

The mistress in front of him is his mother. When he almost fell down just now, the nervousness and anxiety she showed did not seem to be fake. She should be very concerned about his son. As long as his identity is not exposed,

The other party should be trustworthy!

After a while, he was sent back to his original house.

After entering the bedroom, the howling wind stopped and it felt much warmer immediately.

Pei Ling's complexion recovered slightly. At this time, two maids, under the command of the mistress, helped him lie down on the bed.

After placing a pillow for him and covering him with a brocade quilt, the maid stepped away knowingly.

The mistress came forward, sat on the edge of the bed, and asked, "Zheng'er, are you feeling better now?"

Pei Ling said in a weak voice: "Mother, I have something that I want to tell you alone."

The only person he can trust now is this mistress. Naturally, he wants to take this opportunity to explain to her the fact that the maid wanted to kill him just now, so that he can take the opportunity to get rid of a future trouble!

When the mistress heard this, she nodded slightly and immediately nodded and said, "Okay."

With that said, she raised her hand to tuck Pei Ling into bed, then turned around and told the two maids, "You guys go down first."

The two maids bowed their knees and said, "Yes!"

They were about to leave when the mistress glanced at the medicine on the table and said immediately: "Wait a minute."

As she said that, she stood up, walked to the table, picked up the medicine, took a sip with a spoon, then shook her head and said, "This medicine is already cold enough. Take it down, heat it up and bring it back up."

"Yes, madam." The two maids agreed and took the medicine out.

"Bang."

The door was gently closed.

After such a delay, Pei Ling felt exhausted like a tidal wave. His eyelids felt like they weighed a thousand pounds and he couldn't help but want to close them.

The voice of his mistress rang in his ears: "Zheng'er... Zheng'er..."

Pei Ling wanted to answer, but his weak body did not move at all, and he felt sleepy, but he still did not respond.

Keng!

A slight sound of a sharp blade being unsheathed suddenly sounded in my ears.

Pei Ling woke up suddenly and did not dare to open his eyes immediately, and suddenly let out an earth-shattering cough.

"Cough cough cough cough cough cough..."

The mistress put the dagger away instantly.

At this moment, Pei Ling slowly opened his eyes and said, "Mother..."

"Zheng'er, what is it that you need to talk to mother about alone?" the mistress asked with a soft voice and a loving face.

"..." Pei Ling paused for two breaths, and then said, "My child, I don't want to take medicine..."

"No!" The mistress immediately shook her head, "That medicine is for you to treat your illness. If you drink it, your illness will slowly get better."

Pei Ling said weakly: "My child knows..."

The mistress asked softly: "Is there anything else?"

Pei Ling immediately shook his head and said, "No more."

Hearing this, the mistress nodded, and then said: "It's getting late, you should go to bed first."

"Medicine, my mother has already sent someone to heat it up."

"I'll bring it over as soon as it's ready. Don't worry."

Pei Ling nodded: "I understand, kid."

As he spoke, his eyes slowly closed again.

The mistress nodded slightly, seeing that he seemed to have fallen asleep, then stood up and walked out the door.

"Squeak."

"Bang."

The door opens and closes.

After confirming that he was the only one left in the room, Pei Ling immediately opened his eyes, and his face became extremely ugly for a moment.
Chapter completed!
