Chapter 208: Death
Uncle Qiang also frowned: "Girl, you can't go, who knows what that Ruqiu wants to do?" That is a white-eyed wolf who has forgotten his righteousness, and will bite you hard if he is not careful.
Different from the entanglement and indignation of the strong uncles, Zhiruo smiled indifferently and said to Rudong: "Don't pay attention to her, you go and tell the mother-in-law and ask her to help transfer the message to Aunt Xiu of Qingyuan Houfu, I have never been interested in other people's secrets." By the way, the newly made dried fruits, candied fruits or something, let people pick out two boxes and four colors, and bring them to Mrs. Lin to taste. "There are a lot of fruits in spring and summer, so I asked Aunt Qi, who is good at making pickled fruits and candied fruits, to put a lot of them in the cellar with a few mothers-in-law who can make these, preparing pastries to be decorated with snacks, as well as for satisfying cravings and giving gifts in winter. I don't know how to do it, but there are many varieties and patterns I have eaten in modern times, but it has given Aunt Qi a lot of inspiration, and they are stunned to make candied fruits and dried fruits with more patterns and better tastes than elsewhere.
Rudong also didn't approve of Zhiruo going to see Ruqiu, but he was a little worried. She felt that if Ruqiu wanted to see Zhiruo at this time, she must want to exchange the so-called secret with Zhiruo, so there was no need to lie. Otherwise, even if Zhiruo is deceived and she can't tell why, what's the point?
Zhiruo shook her head and smiled: "She didn't have any secrets, I met her in the past, and there was a secret." Have you forgotten the last time Ruxia had to go into the Zhuangzi to speak? It has made the mystery and mystery plausible, outsiders can't tell the truth from the false, the person concerned is inexplicable, and there are even words of suffering. She didn't know what Ruxia was going to do that time, but it wasn't until she recalled the disappointment and surprise on Ruxia's face when she saw her, as well as the naked hatred in her eyes when she was dragged away by her parents, that she slowly smacked her aftertaste.
Rudong remembered the truth that Zhiruo had analyzed for them, and suddenly opened his mouth, quickly answered, and left in a hurry, the mother-in-law was still drinking tea in front of her at this time, waiting for a reply, and Aunt Qiang accompanied her.
After walking a few steps, the excited Rudong suddenly stepped down, uh, why didn't she understand what Ruqiu's "secret" had to do with Ruxia's last request for help?
If you can't figure it out, you don't want to, Rudong shook his head, anyway, the girl is smart, and the girl's decision will not be wrong. It doesn't matter if she Ruqiu has any secrets, she still doesn't worry about the girl if she really goes, what if that Ruqiu goes crazy and hurts the girl?
In their opinion, Ruqiu is just dying, she is an inner courtyard maid, what great secrets can she know?
However, the case of Lost Butterfly Qixiang has just been concluded, and the third daughter-in-law of Niu tried to climb the eldest girl and Meizhuang in the court, although she failed to succeed, but it also created some gossip after dinner. If Miss Hou goes to see Ruqiu again at this time and listens to any secrets, I am afraid that those gossips will become more and more intense, and all kinds of suspicions will become stricter, which will have a very bad impact on the girl's reputation.
So, even if the girl wanted to go, they would object. It's really not good, it's also like what Governor Lin built, just send someone to it.
If she knew what the two Qiangbo and Uncle were thinking, she would be ashamed again, she really didn't think about it as deeply as the Qiangbo and the Uncle, because she knew very well that Ruqiu really didn't have any "secrets" that could threaten her or tempt her, and in this life, Ruqiu didn't have the opportunity to know the envelope. Not to mention Ruqiu, no one knows about it except herself, not even Ming Ze. Because, the time has not come, there is no need.
In the dark and cold prison, Ruqiu was anxiously looking out on the doorrail, she really didn't know the bottom of her heart, would Yin Zhiruo take the bait? If Yin Zhiruo didn't come, would the Hou Mansion be angry with Niuniu?
Ruqiu really regretted it, very, very regretted, if she didn't have a ghost to fall in love with Qiu Yiran and wanted to be Qiu Yiran's concubine, how could she have fallen to this point now?
If Qiu Yiran is what she hates the most now, then the second one is Yin Zhiruo. If it weren't for Yin Zhiruo's ruthlessness and unrighteousness, not only did he not give her dignity and any dowry, but he also gave her deed of sale to the Ji family, making her inferior as soon as she entered the Hou Mansion, where would she need to dig out her mind to earn money? How could she cooperate with Ruxia to get some Butterfly Qixiang? Not to mention that she would not end up being assigned to the northwest now. With her declining body now, I'm afraid that she will die if she doesn't get to the distribution place......
What makes her even more helpless is, what about her niuniu?
Before the public trial, Qiu Yiran specially told her that the Hou Mansion now has only one large Zhuangzi for the rice and grain of the entire Hou Mansion, and even if the emperor does not punish the Hou Mansion this time, it is inevitable to punish a large sum of silver. If you sell the Zhuangzi, you can't make up the silver taels, and you will only be able to rely on Xu Yuanniang's dowry to live and repay debts in the future.
In that case, if Xu Yuanniang can't tolerate Niuniu, the eldest daughter, I'm afraid he won't be able to say anything. Besides, he can't always keep an eye on things in the backyard as a man, but Ji and Qiu Yanran, who can meddle to protect Niuniu, don't like Niuniu in the first place.
However, as long as Ruqiu can successfully blackmail Yin Zhiruo in the end and help the Hou Mansion get through this hurdle, he will definitely swear a heavy oath to promise that he can pass Niuniu to the second daughter of the patriarch.
The widowed aunt of the patriarch's family thought about the stepchild, and Ruqiu knew about it.
Qiu Yiran's unlucky clan sister was originally married well, but she didn't expect to meet bandits when she accompanied her husband to serve in other places, and her husband fell off the cliff and died, although she was finally rescued, but under the horror, she was almost five months pregnant and had a miscarriage, and she also fell ill, and she could no longer have children.
The husband's family blamed her for the disaster and forced her to leave on her own initiative......
The clan sister returned to her parents' house, but fortunately, her parents and brother loved her, but she could live and recuperate with peace of mind. Now that her body is well, she is also disheartened and doesn't want to marry again, anyway, the dowry industry she brought back is enough for her to have food and clothing for a lifetime, so she wants to inherit a girl from the clan and raise her, and recruit a son-in-law for her daughter in the future, which can be regarded as an old man to rely on.
Listening to Qiu Yiran's words, Ruqiu was moved at that time, she knew that she would definitely not be able to escape the blame, she was most worried about Niuniu, if Niuniu could pass on to the patriarch's daughter, then she really had nothing to worry about, even if she was sentenced to be cut after autumn, she could close her eyes with peace of mind.
As for blackmailing Yin Zhiruo, Ruqiu is only worried that Yin Zhiruo will not be fooled, and there is no psychological burden at all, which is all owed to her by Yin Zhiruo......
Time passed little by little, Ruqiu's hand on the door railing became colder and colder, in fact, she really had no bottom in her heart, she just heard some words when Qiu Yiran was drunk, guessing that there was something strange about the death of Yin Zhao and his wife, the overturning of the general's mansion in the north of the town, and there was something strange about Yin Zhao's nobles who seemed to be looking for something from Yin Zhao but did not find it.
She thought about it day and night, combined with the huge changes before and after Yin Zhiruo, wondering what Yin Zhiruo must know, the night Yin Zhao and his wife sent their four maids away and talked with Yin Zhiruo alone for so long, they must have said something secret......
These days, she thinks desperately, but unfortunately she has no clue, she really doesn't know anything about those things.
So, in the end, she could only think of the most vague and most reverie word "secret", she begged to see Yin Zhiruo for the last time, saying that there was a secret to tell Yin Zhiruo.
As long as Yin Zhiruo really has something to do with those things, or has some secrets that others don't know, or has also suspected the death of her father...... It's very likely that you can't help but take this trip.
As long as Yin Zhiruo comes, she has a way to make Yin Zhiruo jealous and obediently destroy the fortune and eliminate the disaster. Because Yin Zhiruo can't afford to gamble, she still has younger siblings and rich property.
Ruqiu was worried about Yin Zhiruo's refusal to come, and at the same time sorted out what she was going to say and the means she would use after Yin Zhiruo came......
Suddenly, there was the sound of unlocking and moving chains outside, and his eyes like autumn ashes instantly lit up again, and he ran back to the dry haystack to do it, closed his eyes slightly, forcibly suppressed the huge jump in his heart, and put on a calm appearance.
"Li Ruxiu," a broken voice shouted, it was Luo Pozi who was in charge of the felon's side, before Ruqiu gave her the only silver earrings of some value on her body, and promised to wait for Yin Zhiruo to come, and she would give her before she was willing to help deliver the message to it, help Ruqiu ask to see Yin Zhiruo for the last time, and also moved the third daughter-in-law of Niu who beat people like crazy to the next room.
Ruqiu was so frightened that she opened her eyes, "Mother Luo, what...... Gauze...... Mother Luo, Miss Yin hasn't come yet?"
"I'm sorry!" Luo Pozi spat heavily, "You slut, who do you think you are? And Miss Yin will definitely give a reward when she comes, and it's also a shame that my wife will believe your words as a cheap woman, I will give you eighteenth generation ancestor! Just such a slave who has betrayed his master, why does Miss Yin still come to see you? What kind of good place do you think this prison is, everyone is so rare that they come to play?"
Ruqiu's voice trembled, "Miss Yin refuses to come?" "She doesn't have time, it's really that the Autumn Queen still has time, but she will set off for the Northwest Exile early tomorrow morning."
Luo's mother took another sip: "Miss Yin said that she has never been interested in other people's secrets, so let you take your bullshit secrets to ......"
With a "poof", Ruxiu spit out a mouthful of blood and fainted backwards......
Early in the morning of the second day, news came out from the prison that the embroidered aunt of the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion who had been assigned had committed suicide by biting her tongue, and before she died, she wrote a line of words on the wall with blood: My poor Niuniu, my mother is sorry for you, my mother has taken a step first, and I am waiting to pick you up below.
