Chapter 444: Blame others for your own sins
Leng Xian even despised his incontinent mother, otherwise he would not have moved from Zhongshun's hut to Peng Lu's house.
At this moment, he faintly smelled the disgusting smell on Yin again, and Leng Xian couldn't help but frown.
He raised his hand to block Yin who was about to come forward, and said calmly: "Stand further away and let Zhongshun serve you."
As he spoke, Leng Xian stood up, walked to a chair nearby and sat down, further away from Yin.
"Zhongshun, go fetch some water and help me wash up." Leng Xian ordered.
"Yes, my lord!" Zhongshun agreed, turned around and ran out with the empty copper basin.
That’s right, the copper basin is empty…
Zhongshun had previously fetched a basin of water and used it to pour on Leng Xian to wake him up.
At this moment, Zhongshun had no choice but to go out to fetch water again.
When Zhongshun brought the water back, Leng Xian first took a cup and scooped out some water, rinsed his mouth briefly, and spit it out on the ground outside the house;
He turned back, washed his face with the water in the basin, dried it, and ordered Zhongshun: "Help me change my clothes!"
"Yes!" Zhongshun agreed habitually.
But after agreeing, Zhongshun just stood there in a daze without moving.
Leng Xian looked at Zhongshun with confusion and dissatisfaction, "What are you doing standing there like an idiot?
Hurry up and bring me clothes to help me change my clothes!"
Zhongshun stood there, blinked, blinked again, looked at Leng Xian, and stammered: "My Lord, I can't change... change my clothes!
Lord Marquis... Lord Marquis's official robe..."
Leng Xian knew of course that the Marquis's mansion had been robbed, and nothing was left!
Not to mention the official robe, even the casual robe he usually wore at home was gone!
I have been wearing Lu Jie'en's clothes these days.
Leng Xian sat down on the chair with a dull expression, and remained silent for a long time.
Yin, who was pushed aside by Leng Xian in disdain, also knew that Leng Xian now disliked her. Yin knew it very well, but she didn't necessarily come forward to cause trouble.
At this moment, listening to Zhongshun's words, Yin also thought of...
Yes, Leng Xian has to go to the palace to attend court.
The official robes are gone... the elegant robes are gone...
He couldn't... he couldn't enter the palace to meet the emperor wearing a servant's clothes!
But think about it again, what would be the problem if I didn’t wear servants’ clothes?
Could it be possible... that I will enter the palace wearing this undergarment and pants that are so short!
Yin looked at Leng Xian's dark face under the light, and clenched her hands tightly, trying to give herself some courage...
"My Lord, at this point... I can't care about all these things anymore!
Besides, the Emperor and the Marquis’ colleagues all know that our mansion was robbed.
Things are different now than they were in the past, so please just make do with it, my Lord!"
After Yin finished speaking, she stole a glance at Leng Xian, who still had a gloomy face, thought for a moment, and then continued, "My Lord...why not wear Steward Lu's robe to the court?
In this way, maybe the emperor would see it... and maybe he would feel more pity for the Marquis!
perhaps……
perhaps……"
Yin Shi didn't say the rest, but Leng Xian understood that it was nothing more than that the emperor would be more sympathetic when he saw her miserable and embarrassed appearance, and the reward she gave would be more generous...
At this point, what else can Leng Xian do?
"That's all!"
Leng Xian had no choice but to tell Zhongshun, "Just bring me the robe I've been wearing these days!"
Zhongshun listened to Leng Xian's instructions and hurried to the clothes rack on the side, subconsciously reaching out to the clothes rack...
Then, Zhongshun was seen standing there with his hand stretched out.
Last night, when I helped the Marquis to get to bed, I hung that robe on the hanger with my own hands.
And at this moment... the clothes hanger is empty, without even a piece of cloth!
Where is the trace of that robe?
Just now, I had soaked the Marquis and was only focused on finding clean inner clothes for him to change into, and I didn't really notice whether the outer robe was on the hanger.
At this moment...
"My Lord, that robe... that robe... why... why is it missing?
Last night…last night I clearly…clearly hung my robe here…”
Zhongshun's lips trembled, his eyes looked at Lengxian, his hands trembling, and he pointed at the empty clothes hanger...
Leng Xian and Yin looked in the direction of Zhongshun's finger...
There was nothing on the hangers.
The three of them scanned the room together...
On the bed, on the table, on the chair...
It was a small room, and after a quick glance, I looked around and there was no trace of the robe anywhere!
If things in the house are inexplicably lost, usually people's first reaction must be that a thief has come in and the things have been stolen.
But at this time, Leng Xian didn't even think about whether a thief came in...
He just felt a chill on his back, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head...
The Ghost of Fu Baozhen...
definitely is!
It must be Fu Baozhen's ghost...
She is coming……
She didn't ask for my life, but...she took away the clothes I was going to wear when I went out today...
she……
Is she deliberately playing a trick on herself?
Does she want to go to the palace to meet the emperor in dishevel?
She wants to convict herself?
She wants to use the emperor to take revenge on herself?
……
It must be like this...it must be!
Fu Baozhen was such a gentle and virtuous woman, how could she become so vicious after becoming a ghost?
She actually used this method to cause trouble and annoyance to her husband!
She actually harmed herself in this way!
