Chapter 88: A Snowy Night
VIP chapter content,
"Goo, goo-" The clouds covered the moon, and the low cooing of the owl suddenly came from the dark night, and Li Shuci seemed to have been poured countless coldness from top to bottom, and the cold hair was rooted in the roots. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info and Huan'er, who was standing behind Li Shuqiao, had weak legs and knelt directly on the ground, Li Shuqiao frowned with anger: "What are you doing with little hooves!
Huan'er maintained a kneeling posture, bowed her head to the ground, and was so frightened that she almost cried, "Auntie...... Girl, Huan'er knew that she was wrong, but the owl's call was unknown, so ......
"Oh?" Li Shuqiao seemed to be suddenly interested, and asked, "What's unknown?"
Huan'er's body trembled slightly, Ping'er hadn't come back since she went out yesterday, maybe she was dead now...... The eldest girl's temperament is becoming more and more uncertain, she is only fifteen years old, and she really doesn't want to end up like this...... She swallowed her tears back into her stomach and said, "Huan, Huan'er heard from the old people that the owl will smell the smell of the dying person, and will fly to the window to watch, if it sees the person's face clearly, it will take the person's life......"
Huan'er said, her body trembling uncontrollably. Li Shuqiao's eyebrows raised, and even Mama Lian had already lowered the gauze curtain on the couch, blocking the old woman's body. The lights hanging under the eaves of the porch flickered in the wind and snow, and the candles that had been replaced gave a dim and dim glow, and the few people in the room were all lost their silhouettes and blurred in the light. Only Li Shuqiao, who was sitting near the candlestick, still had clear eyebrows: "What are you talking about! Grandmother Jiren has her own heavenly appearance, how can an owl take it away?"
"Yes...... It's the slave who talks a lot...... "Huan'er stepped aside, hid into a dark corner, and didn't dare to make a noise to attract the attention of others."
Li Shuci frowned tightly, and the owl ...... It's this owl again......
"Madam!" In the Xiangyuan Temple, Yuan Shuang bowed respectfully in front of the Shen family.
Shen's eyebrows lowered, looking at the fluttering emerald green shoots in the tea cup and said lightly, "Are you ready?"
Yuan Shuang said: "The girl who knows martial arts next to the fifth girl was injured by the eldest girl before, and the injury was very serious. The water in the courtyard of the five girls could not be splashed, and they could not find any useful news. However, even if she was unharmed, Yuanshuang was confident in subduing that girl. ”
Shen Shi was wearing a blue cloud pattern dress, a pair of cold phoenix eyes rose slightly, and she reached out to stroke the broken hair on her sideburns, she still likes the dry and refreshing taste of her hair, and she doesn't like things like osmanthus oil. Zhou stood aside, and when he heard this, he couldn't help asking, "Mother, what are you ......?"
Shen glanced at her and said, "Since you have made a move, it is naturally better to kill two birds with one stone." ”
"Murder?"
"Why? don't dare?" Shen glanced at Zhou and said.
Zhou's never dared to show the slightest disobedience to this mother-in-law. But he still asked hesitantly: "Mother, killing the five girls at this time may bring a lot of trouble." How do you explain it to the outside world?"
"Who said that she was going to kill the five girls? She's just a little girl who hasn't grown up yet, why worry?" Shen put down the teacup, his slender white fingers rubbing his handkerchief, "Yao's seems to be weak and incompetent, but it is Sanfang's biggest weakness. ”
"Kill Yao? but...... Yao just died. Li Weiqing will definitely not give up, although he has a plain temperament, but he is very powerful in front of the king, if he is in a hurry...... "The Zhou family still feels that this matter is too risky, since the Yao family has been involved, why not wait for the fair and honest treatment."
"Now that the situation is compelling, we can't afford to wait any longer. Only by taking it by surprise can you win with one blow. If they are on guard, it will be even more difficult to find an opportunity to do so. I categorically can't let them have any chance to turn over, how many good things have you done to me this year!" Zhou's body shrank for a while, Shen sneered, and Feng's eyes were full of coldness: "Yao's poisoning of his mother-in-law aroused suspicion and became the target of public criticism, and it is reasonable to commit suicide in fear of crime for a while." Even if Li Weiqing investigates afterwards, the person is already dead, and what if the situation is turned around, the Shen family is not easy to mess with. The Yao family is dead, but the children are on the side, how much force can Li Weiqing put in? I don't believe that he dares to break the net?"
"That's what Mother said. ”
Zhou's back was still slightly shrunk, and his eyes were a little red. When she returned to her courtyard, she was completely relaxed, "I haven't slept well these days!" I wanted to take advantage of my master's absence to catch a few more Lan family's mistakes, but I didn't expect her to be a thoughtful person, and several temptations were actually prevaricated back by neither soft nor hard. ”
Mama He stepped forward and gently rubbed Zhou's head, and said: "Those trivial things, it's just to catch more of Lan's mistakes, so that things are more logical, if not, forget it, once this incident comes out, I don't believe that Lan's can still hide from it......"
She thought she was smart, but she didn't know that she had already calculated it. Caught by someone, and you still want to tear it away? Dreaming!" I thought it was a simple thing, but it was full of troubles, which made Zhou feel more and more powerless. How could she be willing to be an abandoned woman? Let a fox dove occupy the magpie's nest.
In the middle of the night, several figures jumped in from the outer wall and went in two directions, merging into the night like swimming fish.
Li Weiqing was ordered to go to various prefectures and counties to inspect the post-disaster reorganization, but he was not in Beijing at this time, and when Li Weiqing received the message and rushed back, it would take two or three days. Yao's eyes were red and swollen, and he finally fell asleep from sleepiness. Mu Yun hid on the beam, his eyes wide open, listening to the movement outside. The serious injury had just healed, and her physical strength had not yet fully recovered, and as time passed, she began to feel tired. Suddenly, there was a slight noise overhead, as if someone was jumping lightly on top of the house, and his steps were as light as a cat.
Mu Yun frowned, fortunately the girl warned the green pigeon, otherwise she would have landed tonight! She glanced at the person lying on the bed, and jumped off the beam.
At this time, there were already seven or eight figures standing outside the house, holding the cold blade in their hands, and Yuan Shuang's feet moved down, and in the blink of an eye, they were already under the window. After listening for a moment, he turned around and made a quick gesture to a few people behind him.
Yuan Shuang pushed the door in, and when he looked up, he saw a woman with a cloak and a snow-white shirt hanging on the roof beam, and was stunned, could it be that the Yao family really couldn't bear the humiliation of this suspicion and hanged himself?
At this moment, the woman hanging from the beam suddenly hung upside down, and a handful of powder was sprinkled on everyone. Yuan Shuang bore the brunt of the blow, and in the chaos of waving, Yuan Shuang only heard the door behind him slam shut. There was a burning pain in her eyes, and in a blur, the person lying on the bed had gotten up, and a long sword was stabbed straight at her throat...... How is this possible!
Yuan Shuang immediately decided: "Do it!" Then leaned back and dodged the fatal blow.
The few people in black who were originally stunned woke up like a dream, but they were also partially contaminated by the medicinal powder, their eyes were all uncomfortable to varying degrees, and the lethality was greatly weakened......
Li Shuci kept watch in front of the old woman's couch all night without closing her eyes, Li Shuqiao also stared at her eyes without sleep, and after the girls waited for their respective masters to wash, Zhou went into the inner room. "Qiao'er, five girls, how is the old lady?"
Li Shuci saluted, Li Shuqiao stepped forward, his eyes showing worry: "Mother, grandmother is still ......"
Zhou's eyes turned red, "How can this be good." He turned his head and said to Li Shuci: "Ah Ci, I believe that your mother must have nothing to do with this matter, the old lady is sick at this time, how can she not be by her side as a daughter-in-law, if there is anything unexpected for the old lady...... Don't you regret it for the rest of your life? Why don't you go and ask the master to relieve your mother's ban!"
Li Shuci's eyes were already bloodshot, and when he heard Zhou's words, a sourness surged up, but it was not because of Zhou's words. She concluded that something would happen in her mother's yard last night, and although it had been arranged, she was still terrified. Coupled with the old lady's situation, this night was really difficult...... She followed Zhou's words and said: "What the eldest aunt said is that Ah Ci is still young and doesn't know what to do, so I ask the eldest aunt to make the decision for me......" said two lines of tears flowing down her cheeks, looking even more haggard and pale.
Zhou personally wiped Li Shuci with a handkerchief and said, "Don't worry, you can follow me to find the master." ”
After such a major change in the family, Li Yu naturally took leave at home, and when he saw the Zhou family coming, he stood up suddenly and asked, "What happened?"
Zhou Shi saluted steadily, she has always regarded herself as a housewife in front of her elders, and she is used to being a good person. Speaking for Yao's at this time is just her usual style, and no one will feel abrupt: "Father, the third brother and sister are mellow and gentle, and the daughter-in-law believes that she will never be able to do such a rebellious thing, and if the mother is in such a situation, if she can't take care of her, the third brother and sister will probably have to bear the charge of unfilial piety......"
If he didn't know the truth, Li Shuci would almost believe that she was really interceding for Yao! Li Yu looked at Li Shuci's haggard face, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and said: "Since this is the case, let Yao come out first." I have already ordered someone to investigate thoroughly, and I want to find out who is doing it, and it will be revealed in a few days!" Zhou secretly wondered in his heart, this time he ...... I'm afraid the Yao family won't be able to get out!
"I'll go see Huilan first. "Hui Lan is the old lady's maiden name, and Li Yu hasn't called his wife like this for a long time, I'm afraid he doesn't even remember himself.
It was still early, and the girl in Yao's yard couldn't help but be stunned when she saw Zhou, "Big lady, you ......"
"Can your lady get up?"
The girl naturally knew what happened yesterday, and at this time she only came to Xingshi to ask about the crime, so she was a little scared at the moment, and said cowardly: "Madame came back last night and was not in good spirits, so she drove the slaves and maids out, and hid in the room alone, and has not been out of the room until now, and the hour is still early, and the slaves and maids dare not go in to disturb......
Li Shuci half leaned on Xue Xin, almost fainting from crying, looking like a little girl at a loss. A trace of worry rose between Zhou's eyebrows: "Don't be sick, right?" After that, he stepped forward and knocked on the door......
She even imagined Yao's slender body hanging from the beam, his face bruised...... said in my heart: If you have a different position, if you want to blame, you will blame yourself for not having a good life......
