When they arrived at the gate of the outer courtyard, Wyeth was a little excited.

An Ning got out of the carriage, and Wyeth waited for a while before coming down.

She held the girl's hand and took several deep breaths before calming down.

An Ning nodded at Wyeth and said to the attendant behind him, "Knock on the door." ”

A mother-in-law went over and knocked on the door.

"Who?"

Soon, the voice of a mother-in-law came from the courtyard.

The door creaked open, and a woman about forty or fifty years old poked her head out to look.

The people brought by Wyeth put the mother-in-law in a pile, and the two attendants pushed the door open and invited An Ning and Wyeth in.

When the door opened, I could see the courtyard.

This small courtyard is not large, and you can see it almost at a glance.

The yard was paved with bluestone, a big tree was planted, and there were a few flowers and plants, and there was nothing next to it.

Behind the tree, you can vaguely see five main rooms, with side rooms on both sides, and three upside-down seats at the entrance of the courtyard.

This courtyard has white walls and gray tiles, which is a very ordinary small courtyard, and there is nothing special about it.

It's just that when the people in the house heard the movement and came out, it added a lot of style to the courtyard.

Under the porch, Bai Mei stood there holding a girl's hand.

She is about the same size as Wyeth, but she is thinner and thinner than Wyeth, and she has a feeling of weakness.

She was wearing loose clothes, and she looked even thinner.

Her face is very small, a palm-sized face, and the facial features on that face are delicate and perfect, especially a pair of eyes that are extremely long, full of water, but those eyes are very calm, and there seems to be no trace of waves.

Wyeth looked at Bai Mei, and Bai Mei was also looking at Wyeth.

An Ning pulled Wyeth: "Go in and say." ”

The two of them entered, and the attendant quickly closed the courtyard door.

Wyeth stood in the courtyard: "Where is Baimei? Which is Baimei, call her over." ”

Bai Mei walked over slowly, her figure swayed when she walked, and she looked very beautiful.

An Ning looked at it carefully, and indeed as Xiao Qing and Xiao Zhu said, this Baimei's every move seemed to be measured with a ruler, and there were norms everywhere, and when she took a step, the step distance was the same size.

Her steps were very steady, and she walked without the hem of her skirt swaying.

Bai Mei walked in front of Wyeth and bowed down: "The concubine has seen his wife." ”

When she said this, she was not reluctant, her face was still the same calm, and every word she said was about the same size, and her voice was sweet, but there was no trace of emotional fluctuations.

An Ning frowned.

Wyeth saw Bai Mei like this, and thought that Bai Mei was not convinced by her, and she was a little angry.

Before she could speak, An Ning stopped her.

An Ning dragged Wyeth behind him, reached out and quickly grabbed Bai Mei's wrist when she was defenseless.

After a while, An Ning let go and looked at Bai Mei with a complicated expression.

"Third sister-in-law. ”

Wyeth still had fire in her heart, she wanted to scold Bai Mei a few words, but An Ning stopped her: "You take someone out, or find a quiet place to stay, I have something to say to her." ”

Wyeth has always been obedient to An Ning, and when An Ning said this, she couldn't refute it, so she took her subordinates out to find a teahouse to drink tea.

An Ning said to a few of Baimei's subordinates: "You guys also go out." ”

Those subordinates were stunned, and they didn't know what to do.

They didn't dare to fight with An Ning, after all, they knew that this was the wife of the third master, if they offended An Ning, I am afraid they would not be good, but it was impossible for them to leave Bai Mei alone.

Bai Mei said to the mother-in-law: "You guys go out, what kind of character is the third wife, how to deal with a person like me, don't worry." ”

Then the woman went out with her subordinates.

When everyone was almost gone, Bai Mei said to An Ning: "The third lady should come into the house and sit." ”

An Ning waved his hand: "No need, it's not cold yet, just sit in the courtyard." ”

There are two stone piers under the trees in the courtyard, and An Ning and Baimei each sit on one.

Bai Mei sat down, and An Ning asked her without hesitation: "It was very hard before, right?"

Bai Mei was stunned for a moment.

She thought that An Ning was going to embarrass her, or say something ugly, but she didn't expect An Ning to say such a sentence when she opened her mouth.

She waited for a while before she said softly, "I don't know what the third lady is asking." ”

An Ning smiled: "You probably don't know, the third master and I both know medical skills, I gave you a pulse just now, your body is extremely poor, it can be said that your body is in tatters, let me tell you this, if you don't care, you won't live for five years." ”

Bai Mei didn't find it strange at all.

She hung her head, her expression was calm, and her voice was light: "I am low, as cheap as a mustard, what is the difference between living and dead." ”

An Ning's eyes narrowed slightly: "Are there many people like you?"

Bai Mei was silent.

An Ning suppressed his voice: "Don't feel strange, I have seen people like you earlier, those big families look at the scenery on the surface, how much dirt is inside, I'm afraid no one can say clearly, they are in order to win over people, in order to cultivate the dead, they are a little bit of a desperate person, I look at your appearance, and then I have just taken the pulse, I know that you and I have seen the same kind of people, you say that you are human, but in fact they are just tools." ”

An Ning's words hit Bai Mei's heart straight to the heart.

Her face fluctuated a little, and there was a hint of pain in her eyes.

An Ning continued: "You have been cultivated since childhood, you were given medicine when you were young, in order to make your skin fairer and your body more beautiful, you used a lot of tiger and wolf medicine, and then year after year, day after day training, how to walk, how to salute, what to say, how to laugh, how to cry, all have to be trained, day after day, you have become a person without emotion, everything is in line with the rules, and the heart has long died. ”

As soon as she finished saying this, Bai Mei sat in a daze, tears rolling down her eyes.

"How many of you are like this?"

An Ning suddenly asked again.

Bai Mei subconsciously replied: "There are a lot, all of them in a Zhuangzi." ”

She realized what she had said, and a look of horror appeared in her eyes.

"What does the Zhang family want you to do?"

An Ning then asked.

Bai Mei didn't want to say it, but she couldn't control herself, she looked frightened and wanted to cover her mouth, but even if she covered her mouth, she still said it: "Let me envelop the fourth master, it's best to go into the fourth master's backyard, if you can, send some news back to the master's family." ”

Bai Mei said it fifteen and ten.

After speaking, her face was pale, her face was as dead and silent, and she looked at An Ning in horror and sadness.

An Ning laughed: "Fourth, come out." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Xiao Jin walk out of a side room.

Xiao Jin looked at Bai Mei with a complicated expression, and after a while, he wiped his face: "Third sister-in-law, what should I do with this woman?"

Bai Mei smiled.

She knelt down in front of An Ning and snorted several times in a row: "Please ask the third wife to execute me." ”
