Hearing the rumors, Zhiruo's subordinates, who were painting the costume design drawings for Ni Xiangju, paused: "She really has good intentions!" No matter how selfish and despicable Ruqiu is, as a mother, her love for her daughter is still emotional.

However, Zhiruo will not sympathize with her because of this, everyone's path is their own choice, and they have to pay the price for their choices, Ruqiu and her daughter's current "pathetic and pitiful" is completely caused by herself, this is what people often call the cycle of cause and effect.

Rudong didn't understand: "Good intentions? Everyone outside is saying that her daughter is pitiful and will not be reincarnated." If Ruqiu really feels sorry for her daughter, she will not choose to commit suicide because she is afraid of living a hard life. "Isn't there at least a time limit for exile? Twenty years later, I can still see my daughter, and when I die, there will be nothing. It's just to go to the northwest to farm, and it's not like an official or something, it's already good.

Zhiruo smiled faintly: "Originally, she was the eldest daughter who was not to be seen, and she no longer had her own mother, or in the increasingly dilapidated Qingyuan Marquis Mansion, what kind of life did you say the child would have? "Premature babies are already frail, and it's normal for them to die accidentally.

Rudong nodded straightly: "Mmmmmmmm, that's what is said outside, and some people say that Old Lady Qiu doesn't like that granddaughter in the first place, and she will definitely not let her grow up well and dangle in front of her." Although she was angry at what Ruqiu did, Niuniu was still a nursing baby, and Ruqiu's evil deeds should be retributed to Niuniu, and she still felt very miserable.

Zhiruo put down the pen in his hand and leaned back on the wide and soft back of the chair: "So, Ruqiu knows this better than anyone else, so she chose to commit suicide and leave a bloody note on the wall." "Ruqiu is indeed a very scheming and strategic person, but unfortunately, his heart is not right.

Rudong's eyes widened, pondering Zhiruo's words: "According to what you said, girl, Ruqiu should leave a blood letter to threaten the Qiu family, for example, if the Qiu family doesn't treat Niuniu well, she will come back to ask for her life or something." ”

Ruchun couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Come back and ask for your life?" Hehehe, I think Rudong, you just watched too many big dramas! People Ruqiu herself is not afraid of retribution for doing bad things, and naturally knows that these are useless to the Qiu family, and if you are afraid of retribution, you will not be so vicious and do so many bad things. "The Ji family even dared to do something like colluding with mountain bandits in a vain attempt to ransack Meizhuang, what else would they be afraid of?

Zhiruo also looked at Rudong with amusement: "For some people, retribution is too far away and too illusory, and what can really make them afraid is only the things that can affect their vital interests immediately in reality." Ruqiu herself is such a person, she knows best what people like them want and fear, and she has been under the same roof with Qiu's family for so long, so she naturally knows how to seize their life. ”

Ruchun reacted first: "I understand, what the girl means is that Ruqiu knew that she committed suicide the day before her exile, and left a blood book in the prison, and the content of the blood book will definitely be passed out, when everyone is gossiping about how Niuniu will be mistreated in the Hou Mansion and when she will reunite with her mother, the Qiu family will not dare to abuse and even kill Niuniu, because they want to be famous" The reputation of the Hou Mansion is bad enough, and it will be really bad if you toss it again.

Zhiruo smiled approvingly: "That's it, Ruqiu is the most calculating, but this last calculation may be the most successful and justified of all the calculations in her life." ”

Rudong finally figured out the twists and turns: "I see, no wonder the girl said that Ruqiu has good intentions." ”

As Zhiruo said, the Qingyuan Hou Mansion was really put on a set by their embroidered aunt before she died, which made it even worse, and the atmosphere of the Qingyuan Hou Mansion, which was already cloudy in the past few days, has become more and more dull.

Knowing that Aunt Xiu asked to see Yin Zhiruo for the last time, and that the prefect's government sent someone to Meizhuang, Qiu Yiran knew that Aunt Xiu was acting according to his previous request, and she was immediately full of expectations.

There is no way, if you really take out a fine of 50,000 taels, even if it includes Mrs. Tai's private house, the Qingyuan Hou Mansion will still be completely hollowed out, and the silver given by the Xu family (nearly half of it has been used to purchase a dowry sent to the Xu family), the mother's dowry, and the Zhuangzi that supplies the rice and grain of the Hou Mansion will be gone. What kind of income will the Hou Mansion rely on in the future? Will it rely on pawning jewelry, objects, or something to go outside to buy rice and grain, until Xu Yuanniang marries in?

However, if Aunt Xiu could really deceive 20,000, 30,000, or even 50,000 taels of silver from Yin Zhiruo, he would not have to face these headaches, so that he could do his best to deal with the various unfavorable situations that the Hou Mansion was currently facing.

I have to say that Qiu Yiran is still very confident in Aunt Xiu's scheming and methods, for Niuniu's sake, he believes that she can play this last trick very well.

However, the people he sent to guard the door of the prison never waited for Yin Zhiruo's figure, let alone someone from Meizhuang who sent a silver ticket to the Hou Mansion.

A night of anxiety and annoyance made him barely close his eyes, but early in the morning he heard that Aunt Xiu committed suicide in prison and wrote on the wall in blood, the content of the blood book seems to be Aunt Xiu's last words to her daughter Niuniu, but in fact, it is to spread out the situation of Niuniu, the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, in front of everyone, which is still a very unbearable situation. This is tantamount to indicting the Marquis of Qingyuan Mansion and his Qiu Yiran for ruthlessness and viciousness in public. Tiger poison still doesn't eat children, he Qiu Yiran can't even tolerate and protect his own daughter, isn't this equivalent to scolding him for being a beast?

Because of Aunt Xiu's crazy blood book, their Hou Mansion once again became the focus of gossip.

Qiu Yiran was not very surprised by Aunt Xiu's death, he once thought that Aunt Xiu was likely to use death to calculate Yin Zhiruo, Aunt Xiu is not a person who can endure hardships, and now her body is damaged by the cold poison, so death may still be a relief for her, better than drinking wind and eating sand in the northwest for 20 years, not to mention that a death can be exchanged for Niuniu's safety?

Now, Aunt Xiu is indeed calculating with death, but the person who calculates is him Qiu Yiran.

At that moment, Qiu Yiran felt like lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot...... No...... The feeling of smashing his head, he threatened Aunt Xiu with Niuniu's future situation, he wanted to stimulate all of Aunt Xiu's abilities to fight to the death, but what he didn't expect was that Aunt Xiu didn't calculate Yin Zhiruo in the end, but used all the means to use him.

Ji's is also so angry that she jumps to her feet, she hates Aunt Xiu very much, naturally she won't treat Niuniu well, not to mention that Niuniu is not her granddaughter at all, she is not, why keep it?

But now that Aunt Xiu is so troubled, not only can she not kill Niuniu, but she also has to protect her from being killed by Xu Yuanniang when the time comes, how can she swallow this breath?R1152
