Chapter 18: The Old Man (7)

"Smack-" After ticking the name of Chunyu on the household register, Yuan Zhize closed it heavily, and the expression on his face became more and more solemn.

"Is it really that serious?" I looked at him in confusion, my heart pounding.

"Don't you know?" Yuan Zhize raised his head and stared straight at me and said, "According to the criminal law of our dynasty, the punishment for concealing household registration without authorization is confiscation of family property." She's just a maid with a very low status, how could your father risk having his family property confiscated and let her replace a dead subordinate?"

"Could it be that my father is troublesome..."As soon as the words came out, I realized that this reason was not reliable at all, the government was so strict in its investigation, and the slightest carelessness in the family property would be confiscated, and there must be nothing more troublesome than this.

Yuan Zhize paced back and forth in the house, figuring out the mystery of this: "It stands to reason that this spring rain has lived in your family for nearly ten years, and the government has repeatedly checked the household registration for such a long time, but it has not found anything strange in it, your family has suffered a catastrophe, she was able to get away with it, I am afraid this cannot be explained by coincidence, there must be some story behind this woman!"

"You mean to say that the reason why my father did this is to hide something for her?" Seeing that he transferred his suspicion to the old man, I couldn't help but be a little nervous, and hurriedly defended: "My father is dedicated to kindness, is willing to give, and has never done anything bad, and besides, Chunyu has always had a good relationship with me, and he doesn't seem to be a bad person..."

Yuan Zhize waved his hand and said, "I'm just guessing, maybe you can solve the secret of the bloody case through this question." "Could it be that the spring rain has something to do with this bloody case?" I was suddenly shocked in my heart, and gasped. Yuan Zhize whispered a few words softly in my ear, I thought about it for a while, and nodded in agreement.

"Miss, the water is already boiling. With a slight knock on the door, the timid voice of Chunyu sounded outside the door. "Okay, I'll be right over. I glanced at Yuan Zhize, and then walked out quickly.

The water temperature is just right, carefully remove the clothes, slowly dip the body into the warm bath, as if a burst of electricity through the body, the muscles of the whole body are relaxed, and the fatigue of the journey is also washed away without a trace.

Close your eyes comfortably, enjoy the rare relaxation during the journey, the spring rain thoughtfully sprinkled a few petals in the water, the fragrance of the flowers and the hot water vapor are entangled, making people intoxicated without noticing.

"Miss, the clothes you want to change into have already been taken. Chunyu's slender figure was projected on the tent, and I lazily replied, "Take it in." ”

Through the hazy water vapor, Chunyu walked in slowly, at this moment she was no longer as depressed as before, although she was just wearing an ordinary slave's clothes, but she could still set off her delicate figure. The complexion on his face is much better than before, but a few scars are still a little eye-catching.

"Huh?" When she helped me sort out the clothes I had changed, she was suddenly stunned, and her eyes were straight, as if she had seen something new.

"Miss, what is this?" asked Chunyu as she carefully lifted a thread pendant. I looked at the half of the little tiger hanging at the end of the line, and remembered the old story of mistaking him for a piglet: "This is given to me by the prince, how is it cute, right?"

"Well, it's really cute..."Chunyu rubbed the half of the little tiger in his hand, and seemed to love it. Taking advantage of this effort, I carefully looked at the spring rain in front of me, and muttered to myself in my heart, will this spring rain really be involved in my family's door destruction?

It was already half an hour before I got dressed, and when I opened the tent, a cold wind blew, and I couldn't help but shiver, but fortunately I wrapped a bath towel around my head, otherwise I would have caught a cold tomorrow.

It was pitch black outside the house, and the whole world was immersed in silence, only the sound of beeping and peeling wood burning came from time to time between the stoves, and she walked over curiously, and saw the dark stove in front of the spring rain was looking at the fire beating in the hearth, under the light of the fire, her face was flushed with a faint red, and she was unaware of the already steaming stove.

"Chunyu, what are you doing?" My sudden appearance surprised Chunyu a lot, his hand shook, and several pieces of burning firewood jumped out of the fire, Chunyu hurriedly leaned over to pick them up and throw them back into the fire, and then said in a panic: "The slave wants to help the prince burn some footwater..."

Seeing her at a loss, I couldn't help laughing: "Why are you so distracted? The water has already been boiled." Chunyu suddenly reacted and hurriedly got up to fill hot water.

"Ouch!" Before she could fully stand up, her body suddenly bent violently, as if she had been hit hard, and her whole body trembled.

I walked up quickly to support her and asked with concern, "What's wrong, what's uncomfortable?"

Chunyu's face was a little deformed because of the severe pain, but he still comforted me with a smile: "Miss, I'm fine, the wound on my back still hurts a little, and now it's healed." ”

Well, how could it be. Seeing that there was no one else around, I couldn't help but say it to her, no matter what three seven twenty-one, she took off her clothes, and couldn't help but be stunned in place, and the whole person was a little overwhelmed.

Chunyu's back was densely covered with bruises and bloodstains, which made people feel shocked.

"What's the matter, didn't I give you medicine, why is it useless?" When I saw her covered in bruises, I had already given her a bottle of external medicine, but she was useless, and I was both heartbroken and angry when I saw her miserable appearance.

"Slave... The wound on the back can't be medicated, and the hand can't reach it..."Wanyun endured the pain and broke free from me, and put her clothes back on, looking like she didn't care. Seeing the way she looked, I was really angry and pulled her out of the stove.

"How is it, does it hurt?" I carefully scattered the powder on Chunyu's wound, and every time I sprinkled a little, I could clearly see the muscles on Chunyu's back trembling slightly, presumably the taste must be extremely painful, Chunyu just snorted a few times and did not answer.

"You stupid girl, if you can't reach it, tell me, can't I help you with the medicine?" Seeing her in such pain, I complained with some hatred.

"How dare the slave bother Miss..."Chunyu lay on the bed, her eyes closed, enduring the labor pain in her back, and snorted freely.

"What kind of words is this, aren't we good sisters in the first place? Besides, now that everyone is gone, there are only two of us left..."Thinking of the deceased relatives, I felt that my eyes were sore and swollen, and I secretly wiped away my tears with my sleeve, and lowered my head again to give her medicine.

"It's different now," Chunyu didn't notice my gaffe, and said to herself: "In the past, Miss was in the boudoir, and there was nothing to fight at that time, but now Miss is already a lady, how can a slave and maid..."

Could it be that after a person's status changes, even the previous feelings will also change with it? A trace of sorrow suddenly rises in my heart. I turned Chunyu's body, looked directly into her eyes and said word by word: "Chunyu, no matter who I become in the future, you are my good sister." ”

Chunyu seemed a little surprised by this, looked straight at me and didn't speak, and nodded stunned for a while. Looking at the spring rain in front of me, I couldn't help but have mixed feelings in my heart, secretly scolding myself for being so conscienceless, this girl was busy all day for me, and even after the accident at home, although she was penniless and faced the danger of being beaten, she still resolutely went up the mountain and wanted to guard the tomb for the deceased. As for me, I am still suspicious of her, Feng Xiaoxiao, how can you bear to hurt her? Thinking of this, my hands couldn't help but tremble a little.

Seeing that Chunyu was already asleep, I gently tucked the corners of the quilt for her, turned around and closed the door of her room. Stepping on the fallen leaves all over the ground, I returned to the bedroom with the hot water boiled by the spring rain.

"I'm back, how is it, have you found anything?" Yuan Zhize was reading the secret report from the side court, and when he saw me enter the door, he hurriedly got up to greet him, and his words were eager.

I stared at Zhize in front of me, didn't answer his words, and after calming down for a while, I said solemnly: "Zhize, can you promise me one thing?"
