In the Sibeile Mansion, the Fujin Wulanala clan lives in the main courtyard, the Li family, the Song family, and the Wu family naturally have their own courtyards with a certain weight in the hearts of the four elder brothers, and the rest of the concubines, the Gao family and the Chang family live in a courtyard, and the Zhang family and the Wang family live in the courtyard opposite them.

The courtyard where Zhang and Wang live is called Moth Mei Courtyard, which is taken from the meaning of turning Moth Mei.

It is both Momei Courtyard, and the Zhang family and the Wang family in the courtyard were naturally once beauties, but when he saw the Zhang family who was dragged to the front, the fourth elder brother couldn't believe his eyes, he subconsciously looked in the direction of the courtyard where the Song family lived, as his first and second woman, the Zhang family and the Song family are the same age, and they should both be twenty-five years old this year, but then look at the emaciated and haggard figure in front of him, and then look at the withered yellow and old face, it is clearly an old woman of forty or fifty years old, where is there still the shadow of the beautiful beauty in the past?

Only from Zhang's still beautiful willow eyebrows, the fourth elder brother can vaguely recall the days when he used to paint thrushes.

The two sturdy old ladies pushed Zhang to the ground and lay down on the cold green bricks. The sound of his knees hitting the ground clearly came into the ears of the fourth elder brother, making him subconsciously clench his fists.

"Master, people have brought it, you see?"

Gao Beyong's voice recalled the fourth elder brother's reason, and he took his gaze away from the thin figure on the ground with some difficulty, and landed on the ground in front of his toes, "Zhang, you ......"

Why have you become so old, so emaciated, why did you betray me, where is Ru Hui now?......

Countless questions wanted to be answered, but looking at the young and bright woman on the ground, all these kinds of questions were stuck in the fourth elder brother's throat, and he couldn't spit it out.

The fourth elder brother is stuck, whether it is Gao Beyong or the two old grandmothers, no one dares to squeak, as the fourth elder brother is silent for a longer time, the air slowly becomes stagnant and more and more depressed, Gao Beyong and the two grandmothers have begun to break out in a cold sweat, but the fourth elder brother is still just looking at the ground in front of his toes, in the study, it becomes audible for a while.

No one expected that the one who broke the stagnant atmosphere would be Zhang lying on the ground.

"Lan'er hasn't seen her master for two years. Zhang's propped up the ground, straightened up with difficulty, looked up at the fourth elder brother, and then fell back to the ground weakly: "Lan'er knows what the master wants to ask, but Lan'er doesn't know much, probably the Ru family should still be in the mansion, but Lan'er doesn't know where the people are locked up...... Lan'er was dying, and those people took the opportunity to buy the manpower in my hospital to do things for them, and when I was half asleep, I heard a few words, and I had this speculation......"

Speaking of this, Zhang's was already out of breath and out of breath, and the fourth elder brother finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he stood up from the chair suddenly, walked to Zhang's in a few steps, picked her up from the ground, and put her on the couch where he usually rested on the side of the study, and at the same time waved his hand to let Gao Beyong withdraw a few times.

Gao Beyong got Zhang's words, and got the signal of the fourth elder brother, so he naturally knew what he should do later, and led the two strong men out of the study quickly, gritted his teeth and lifted those subordinates who were waiting for Zhang's to another courtyard, ready to knock their mouths one by one with a qiē method.

In the study, he placed Zhang's on the couch properly, fed Zhang's a glass of water with his own hands, and the fourth elder brother moved a chair to sit in front of the couch.

"You take a break. Reaching out to pull out a few strands of hair scattered next to Zhang's cheeks, looking at Zhang's lifeless face, the fourth elder brother couldn't bear to put his face away, "Why is it like this?"

yes, how did you get sick like this?

Zhang stared at the painted beams on the roof with some blankness: "This disease has been delayed for two or three years, sometimes good and sometimes bad, it has been dragged, and there is no big change, until the middle of last month, my illness suddenly worsened somehow, I fell asleep for ten hours a day, and the other two hours have been groggy, and I have not been awake for a while, Lan'er thought, maybe it's the limit." ”

"You ......" The fourth elder brother wanted to comfort Zhang with some difficulty, but found that no matter what he said, it seemed empty, Zhang had been sick for more than two years and nearly three years, but he only went to see a few times in the first days, and then he was busy, and gradually forgot about her, until he didn't even think about it in the past two years, even if he remembered, he just told Fu Jin to take care of her a little, but he ......

“…… I always thought that Fujin took good care of you. The fourth elder brother's voice became a little hoarse because of excessive suppression, and he reached out to hold Zhang's hand hanging on the couch, which was once so soft and white, but now it was only a layer of skin and bone, as if he could pinch it apart as long as he used his own strength.

There was a ripple in Zhang's dead eyes, and she smiled hard, "The master hasn't changed at all, and he refuses to be a little suspicious of the people he trusts." Zhang's gaze fell on the face of the fourth elder brother, and he wanted to touch his sharp eyebrows and eyes as before, but he didn't even have the strength to raise his hand.

Zhang sighed, thinking that he wouldn't be able to live anyway, and there was no need to hide some words.

"Ye is still too willful, even if I am sick, I also know that Ye is very fond of the Ru family, and no one in the house can match it. That's it, as soon as the Anyuan is in affairs, even Fu Jin will not be allowed to interfere, and if the Lord does this, where will Fu Jin's face go? This is still the young age of the Ru family, if the Ru family grows up after a few years and really enters the mansion, where will the women in this mansion still have a place to stand? For this, it will be difficult for the Ru family to live. ”

After saying a few words, Zhang was a little gasping again, and curled the corners of his mouth with difficulty, as if he wanted to laugh, but he had no strength at all.

"I'm about to swallow my breath when I see it, so I dare to say such a thing to my lord, the women in this house are all pointing to my lord's life, and whoever is in my heart will live a beautiful life and live freely, otherwise I will be like me, even if I die in a corner, no one knows......"

"You ......" The fourth elder brother swallowed with difficulty: "...... Don't think too much, you can always get better. ”

Zhang smiled bitterly in his heart, knowing that the fourth elder brother said this only because of guilt in his heart, but now that she is going to die, this guilt for her just shows that her heart has not been completely wrong...... Good or bad, that's someone else's day, and it has nothing to do with her anymore.

Closing his eyes, Zhang didn't have the strength to say more, so he only said: "Master, take care, Lan'er, only wish, only wish, ...... next life"

Looking at Zhang's soft body, the fourth elder brother tried several times before he raised his hand and stretched out his finger to put it between Zhang's nose.

It wasn't until he felt the shallow but distinct breathing on his fingers that he didn't stop breathing, and the fourth elder brother softened on the chair as if he was weak, but after a little relief, the fourth elder brother immediately called someone to find the imperial doctor on duty in the house.

……

Ru Hui was woken up in her sleep.

Forcefully pushed open the sleepy eyelids, and what caught the eye was the fourth elder brother's bloodshot but still sharp eyes.

When I turned my eyes, I saw the familiar peony embroidered tent, but why did the fourth elder brother sit on the edge of her bed?

"Am I dreaming?"

Wasn't she in the dungeon before? How could she open her eyes and be in her own bed?

Looking at the little girl's ignorant eyes, thinking that the imperial doctor diagnosed that she had been overly frightened in the past few days and had never eaten or sold, and that she had lost all three of her essence, qi, and spirit, and that she needed to raise it for at least a few months to be raised, and she couldn't help but feel distressed for a while;

"Drink the medicine. The fourth elder brother took the medicine bowl from Xundong's hand a little stiffly and handed it to Ru Hui.

Ru Hui blinked, inexplicably, but still subconsciously took it and drank it in one gulp.

It's bitter!

The ignorant brain was suddenly awakened by a bowl of medicine, Ru Hui wrinkled her face in pain, quickly stuffed the medicine bowl into the hands of the fourth elder brother, and at the same time raised her head and shouted at Xun Dong who was standing on the side, "Water, water!"

Xun Dong glanced at the candied fruit in his hand, the girl didn't eat the candied fruit after drinking the medicine?

While thinking, he turned around and poured a cup of warm water that had been prepared on the dressing table and handed it to Ru Hui.

Gu Dudu drank several sips of water, and finally diluted the bitter taste in his mouth, Ru Hui breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back on the pillow.

"I seem to remember that I was imprisoned for three days?" Ru Hui was a little unsure: "Or am I sick and confused and dreaming?"

glanced at the fourth elder brother who froze because of his girl's questioning, Xun Dong didn't say a word, and retreated silently.

The fourth elder brother took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Ru Hui, who was looking at him with trust, and explained with some difficulty: "I have already disposed of a few slave masters who have betrayed their masters......"

Ru Hui looked at the fourth elder brother's tense face and blinked: "The slave who betrayed the master? Then I'm not dreaming, I was indeed locked up for three days?"

Facing those innocent eyes, the fourth elder brother found that the words he had prepared were completely unspeakable, but did he want him to say that he had no way to govern the mansion, and all the women in the mansion joined forces to imprison a ten-year-old child in a prison five meters underground, ready to starve her to death?

Or did he have no idea that even though the place where they lived now was his Four Belle Mansion, there was a cellar so deep underground, and it almost became a place for her bones to be buried?

The fourth elder brother stood up suddenly, ignored Ru Hui, who was looking at him expectantly, turned around and walked out of the blue yarn cabinet quickly.
