Chapter 7 Rolling Bead Curtain Disturbs the Frightened Soul

Chapter 7 “Beared Curtain” disturbs the shock

The abandoned courtyard where Liu Ruyan lives now is located near the dungeon of the Grand Marshal's Mansion. The dungeon of the Grand Marshal's Mansion has been no longer used to detain prisoners for many years. It was originally used by the governor of the previous dynasty to detain women or maids who made mistakes in the mansion. After the Du family moved in, they used it at first, but later the military government did not use the dungeon after it was improved. This time, Du Shengting was angry for the beauty and locked up his original wife Liu Ruyan and her personal maid in. This matter has spread throughout the Grand Marshal's Mansion.

Although the backyard of the Grand Marshal's Mansion was towering with high walls, the Night Patrol Team was not careless. After Captain Wang and his people took a closer look at the corners of the backyard, Dong Nuan pulled Liu Ruyan and Mint out from under the holly tree.

The backyard of Dashun's Mansion, which was bright and tall, was quiet. The sound of insects was ringing. The front yard of the pavilion of the courtyard was brightly lit and singing and dancing were rising. The rehearsals and the stage was prepared.

After this thrilling toss, Liu Ruyan was not sleepy, and her mind was filled with scenes she saw when she was stealing something in Zhuyuan.

Dong Nuan returned to the courtyard. After Mint served Liu Ruyan to wash and suppress her fear, she went to place the stolen clothes and jewelry and rouge and powder.

Liu Ruyan played with the original owner's flute. According to the news that Dong Nuan had found out, she looked up at the sky. It should be the time when Du Shengting returned from the Military and Political Department, so she gently played the flute in her hand.

"Engraved every eyebrows and heart, through thinking, the painting is stained with ink, and thousands of texts are yellow. The quiet window screen at night is slightly bright, and the sleeves are blowing and dancing in the dream. Lovesickness is in my heart, and I still have nostalgia for the pear blossoms. I am still waiting for the red makeup. I am leaving the beauty slowly haggard, ah the fragrance of rouge, who is the rolling pearl curtain for? Ah, I don't see Gao Xuan, the night moon is bright, and I feel embarrassed at this time... The drizzle falls into the early morning of early spring, quietly awakening the branches and buds, listening to the breeze, sighing the flowing water and the falling flowers are hurt, who is in the smoke and clouds..."

Du Shengting's car slowly drove into his "Tingju" in his separate courtyard in the Marshal's Mansion and opened the car door for him. Du Shengting stopped as soon as he left the car door.

"Where does the sound of flute come from?" Du Shengting looked at Zhong Ming and said.

Of course, Zhong Ming also heard the soul-stirring and long-lasting song.

The next moment, Zhong Ming seemed to think of something, "Young Marshal, I heard that he was preparing a program for tomorrow's banquet. Is anyone practicing the etude?"

Du Shengting frowned, with a strange look in his eyes. His sharp and dark eyes instantly became brighter than the stars in the night sky.

"What's the name of this song?" Du Shengting looked at Zhong Ming and asked.

Zhong Ming shook his head, "Young Marshal, you don't know, where will you know what the song is."

Du Shengting glared at Zhong Ming, "Yes."

"Get on the car." Du Shengting said, and the man had already gotten into the car.

Zhong Ming then got in the car and ordered the driver to drive.

The driver drove out of Shengju and said, "Adminton Zhong, where are we going?"

Zhong Ming didn't know where Du Shengting was going, so he looked at Du Shengting with his side, "Young Marshal..."

Du Shengting leaned his head and leaned against the back, closed his eyes to rest, as if he was intoxicated by the song. Even his cold and hard facial features relaxed, "Come around the mansion and see where the song came from."

The mansion of the Northwest King is as big as the emperor's harem. It is not that easy to find the person playing the flute in the middle of the night, but Du Shengting can accurately capture the general direction of the song and order the car to drive all the way to the northwest of the mansion.

"Young Marshal, you can't drive to the back. This is the backyard of the Marshal's Mansion. There are no people anymore. How could this person who can play a good song be here?" Zhong Ming advised Du Shengting.

Du Shengting slowly opened his eyes and looked outside the car. Isn’t this the entrance to the dungeon? But the song is obviously nearby. Isn’t it getting closer and closer!

"Continue to open inside." Du Shengting ordered.

The driver and Zhong Ming can only say that.

Suddenly, the sound of the flute stopped abruptly. The driver's hand shook, the car slowed down, and he walked slowly on the small road in the backyard, waiting for Du Shengting's order.

Du Shengting narrowed his eyes and stared at the dark courtyard in the backyard, "Let me see the manager of the backyard."

The people living in the backyard were all the lowest-level servants, with men and women passing through the high walls eight feet away. When the manager heard that it was Jiu Ye who met, everyone got up to take over. After a while, the manager and the servants in the backyard heard the sound of the flute and felt that it was nice and tight, but no one knew who was playing the music, let alone how could those servants play the music.

Du Shengting waved his hand, "Go and rest!"

The backyard was so nervous that it finally became quiet. Du Shengting hesitated and paced around there step by step. Zhong Ming and the driver followed him silently behind Jiu Ye.

The yard where Liu Ruyan and Mint lived was still as dilapidated as broken walls from the outside. The master and servant just cleaned up the yard and the house.

Suddenly, Du Shengting's footsteps stopped at the gate of the broken courtyard where Liu Ruyan lived.
