The sun is thin and dusk, and the lights are scattered in the foothills.

The warm and spacious room is lit up with several four-corner gauze lamps, and three faint figures are reflected on the golden screen. After some careful dressing, Nangong Eyue looked radiant, while Mozi was frowning because of the heavy bun.

Several sparrows flew into the courtyard through the lacquered corridor, their messy figures intertwined on the pink walls. The maple trees planted in front of the courtyard are old and red. And Eizuki's gaze crossed the red maple on the fence and looked at Qingyuan Mountain in the sunset from afar.

"From now on, you two will be people from my Lanxi Fang. Yu Linglong instructed: "If the rules of this place are broken, you will be driven to the Qinglou." Do you know?"

After hearing this, the young Emi gently pulled Mozi's sleeve, then knelt down and bowed her head, and replied respectfully: "But according to my mother's orders, the slave family will not dare to disobey." ”

Fortunately, the jade is exquisite. However, in just two or three years, Nangong Huiyue became the Oiran in Lanxi Fang under her careful training. And although Mozi is not good at singing and dancing, she has become a handmaiden who is quite popular with the guests.

"Mom, there were so many girls in the car at that time, why did you choose me and Mozi?" asked Eizuki suddenly putting her arms around her neck.

"Because your disheartened expression is exactly the same as I used to be. Yu Linglong replied calmly: "If you are bought by the bustard to do the skin and meat business in the brothel, you are destined to not be able to live in the world. ”

"Mom's heart is so good, and the slave family is willing to serve you for the rest of your life. ”

"No matter how good a daughter is, she is going to get married, why do you stay with me all the time?" Yu Linglong slowly took out Eiyue's death deed from her sleeve and burned it into ashes in the lantern beside her. Seeing this, Ezuki suddenly asked in surprise, "Mom, why is this?"

"I thought that before I died, I would entrust everything in Lanxifang to you, but now I can't. Yu Linglong suddenly wept, and said sadly: "Last night, Wang Yu sent someone to propose marriage, and I have already agreed." Wang Yugui is the seven generals of Taichen, and he is full of glory. Even if you are accepted by him as a partial house, it will not disgrace your identity. ”

"But mother, the slave family already has a heart. ”

"Who is it?"

"That person is Liu Yu'an, the one who wears a tanuki mask all day long. Eizuki replied, "Yesterday, it was he who fought desperately to save me from the siege of demon beasts. And when I was on Qingyuan Mountain, the person I met was also him. Although he is not yet in love with me, I have decided not to marry him. If Wang Yu comes to force his relatives, the slave family is willing to die. ”

"Silly girl, what's so good about that boy, is it worth loving him so much?"

"Mom, if someone is engraved in your heart, you can't forget it in this life. ”

After hearing this, Yu Linglong held her wrist and paced for a moment, and asked, "Who else has seen you come back?"

"Except for Moko and Xingchun, there is no one else. ”

"In this way, the matter will be easy to do. Yu Linglong hurriedly ordered: "Huiyue, hurry up and take off your clothes." I will send someone outside the city to find the corpse of a disfigured woman, so that I can fake the illusion that you died in that demon tide yesterday. Now Yuharu is delirious, and no one will believe what she says. And Mozi and I will be tight-lipped about it. Now, you have to follow that kid and run away overnight. It's just that from now on, you will never go back to this Lianyue city. The world is big, and there will always be a place for you. ”

"Mom's ......"

"Silly girl, if you don't want to marry, can you still be forced to be a mother? In fact, I've always treated you as my own daughter!" Then Yu Linglong burst into tears for her and ordered: "Okay, you should be happy for such a happy event, why do you need to cry?"

However, at this moment, Yu Linglong looked through Ezuki's shoulder, and suddenly saw a serpentine head figure quietly retreating from the side of the lattice door. There was a faint sound of trolling tiles above the roof, causing them to tremble involuntarily.

A moment later, shattered tiles fell from the roof. A snake demon suddenly burst out of the top, poked its head through the gap in the oak rafters, and spat snake hyacinths at them.

"You old disguster, but you're quite scheming. If it weren't for the fact that Lord Seven sent me to send Miss Koharu back and secretly monitor the workshop, how would I have known that you had such a plan?"

Yu Linglong immediately picked up the lantern beside her and smashed it at the other party, and hurriedly urged her to say, "Huiyue, you should get out of here quickly." And Nangong Huiyue shook her head weakly and asked in a sad tone, "What about you, Mom?"

"I'll try to get out, you hurry up, if it's too late, it's too late for you to escape." Yu Linglong grabbed the silver scissors in her hand and rushed towards the snake demon.

The snake demon was so angry that it flew down from the lacquered zhu fang, and opened its mouth to bite her. The tip of the knife that stabbed at the other party was resisted by the black scales of the snake, and the anger in the snake demon's eyes suddenly rose sharply.

Nangong Huiyue, who ran to the lattice gate, suddenly turned her head and happened to see the snake demon holding Yu Linglong's arm with her mouth, and slowly took out the short knife about a foot long from behind her waist, and the cold knife light reflected the tears in the corners of her eyes. Seeing this, Ezuki knelt down with tears in her eyes and pleaded bitterly to the other party, "Don't...... I'll just go with you, you can just let my mother go!"

However, as if he hadn't heard, the snake demon had green tendons on his arm holding the hilt, and stabbed into Yu Linglong's chest several times in succession, and the splashed blood stained the lattice door red.

Then Huiyue stepped forward in despair, hugged Yu Linglong, who was kneeling in a pool of blood, and suddenly cried bitterly: "Why is this ......happening?"

The snake demon walked to the red gan outside the lattice door with his hands behind his back, and replied coldly: "The Seven Generals have instructed that anyone who obstructs this family business must die. ”

"If even I die, I'm afraid you will not be able to escape the blame. Edukee's hands gripped the blood-stained silver scissors, closing her eyes and preparing to kill herself. "In this way, I can also avenge my mother. However, at this time, the other party suddenly said: "That's true." It's just that I'm not the only one who will suffer when the time comes. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"If you commit suicide today, I will go to the general to ask for guilt, and tell the truth about your fornication with Liu Yu'an. The snake demon suddenly sneered and said, "The general is a very possessive person, and he will never allow his beloved things to be touched. Besides, you are the only woman to whom the general has bestowed a name, which shows that his love for you is extraordinary. If the general knew about this, he would definitely be furious. At that time, not only will your crush be killed, but even the girls in Lanxifang will die. Even if you don't want to live, you have to think about them. ”

After hearing this, Nangong Huiyue was moved, staring at the blood stains on the floor and thinking. Just as the heavens and men were at war in her heart, the snake demon slowly stepped forward, snatched the silver scissors from her hand, and continued to persuade: "Miss, forget all the sad things. In a few months' time, the General will have set foot in the Northlands once again, and the Dark Demon Clan will once again bow down to us and offer countless treasures to congratulate us.

"When the time comes, you will become the most favored lady of the Seven Generals, and the more than 50 million people of Rinzhou will respect you. Even if you order someone to divide my five horses, the little one will be as happy as a glutton. However, until then, I hope that the young lady will be patient.

"From now on, I will stop the idea of elopement and self-harm. That's all for the little ones. Everyone's net worth and life, the whole department of the young lady's thoughts. ”

It began to snow in Lianyue City, and silver makeup was smeared on Qingyuan Mountain. Mozi put away the colorful bamboo bone silk umbrella in the fine snow, and slowly walked into the Gufang Pavilion with the word "Xi". Then she pushed open the hidden lattice door and shouted, "Sister, I'm back." ”

Nangong Huiyue in front of the mirror platform has a little powder on her face, and her hair is particularly beautiful. After Ezuki opened her mouth to support the half-hunched old woman who opened her face, she smiled and asked Moko, "Where did you just go?"

Moko took the ivory comb handed by Ezuki, combed her hair draped on her back, and replied, "I went to my mother's grave and told her the news that you were about to get married. ”

"The scene now reminds me of the past. "It's just that when we first entered Lanxifang, my mother combed our hair for us." ”

"It's so nostalgic to think about. Mozi said, "Although our life was hard at that time, we lived a carefree life in the end. ”

"yes, it's just that we can't go back. Tears fell from her eyes, and she replied: "My mother is obviously such a loyal woman, but I didn't expect that in the end, it would be impermanence due to fire." It would have been nice if I had arrived earlier that night. ”

"The world is unpredictable, how can you blame your sister?" Mozi said, "I should have gone with you at that time." It should be uncomfortable for you to face such a scene alone. ”

"Why do you have to suffer this? I have to bear such a painful experience. ”

"My sister is always like this, she takes care of everything herself. Mozi suddenly said, "I have come all the way, and I have seen that the people in the market are cold, and the situation is not as good as in previous years. Since the death of my mother, only a few deceased people have been left in the community, and the rest have been scattered. If she is still alive, I don't know how to feel when she sees Lanxifang become like this?"

"My mother was sold to Yunzhou since she was a child, and she has long since broken off contact with her hometown. He also has no sons and half daughters, so there is no successor to this huge industry. Otherwise, Lanxi Fang is the brainchild of my mother's life, how can anyone be willing to let it go on like this?" Huiyue replied: "According to the laws of the imperial court, it will not be long before this Lanxi Fang will be placed under the jurisdiction of the City Lord's Mansion. Fortunately, the lord of the castle took care of his old relationship with his mother, and did not embarrass the sisters in the street, and abolished the past death contract and let them regain their freedom, but did a good deed. ”

"That's just as well. Although the lord of the castle is mediocre and brave, his heart is not bad. ”

"Mozi, you can bring me the vermilion lacquer inlaid jade treasure box for me. ”

"Where?"

"Well," Eizuki said, gesturing, "it's in the chest of drawers." ”

"This?"

"Well, open it. ”

Mozi looked at the dazzling array of jewels and asked with a slight hesitation, "Sister, what is this?"

"Haven't you always liked these gold and silver jewelry?" said Huiyue softly, "After I get married, I will return to Rinzhou with Wang Yu." These things were meant to be given to you on the day you got married. If you think so, I'll leave it to you now. ”

"Why can't I go to Rinju with my sister?" Mozi wrapped around her waist from behind and sobbed, "My mother has died, is even my sister going to abandon me?"

"Silly girl, you are no longer the maid of Lanxifang. "In this world, there are still many beautiful things waiting for you, and it is better than you staying by my side for the rest of your life." From now on, I hope you will live as you wish. This is also the wish of my sister. ”

"But ......"

"Okay, today is my big day, let's not talk about it. After the two hugged each other and cried, Huiyue touched the palm of the foam on her shoulder, and ordered: "The sedan chair for the kiss is almost here, hurry up and dress up for me." ”
