By the time they returned to Li's Mansion, it was past noon, and everyone was tired, hungry, and afraid. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Shuci first sent the old lady back to Mingshoutang, and explained to the Yao family the original situation before returning to Fufeng Yuan safely. Lan Xin is directing her mother-in-law to add hot water to the bath bucket, and Xue Xin adds some spices mixed by Mu Yun to the bath bucket. Seeing Li Shuci coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward to wait for a change of clothes.

"Qingge and Mu Yun are also tired, hurry up and rest, there are a few blue hearts here. ”

Mu Yun didn't care whether the tea on the table was cold or hot, he poured a cup of cow and drank it, and waited for the mother-in-law to go down, closed the door, and then said: "Tired is not tired, but I was really shocked by the ruthlessness of the woman in the Lian family, is she really stupid or fake stupid, if it weren't for the girl asking me to replace most of the fire oil she brought, the entire Lingxin Nunnery would have been burned down...... If we hadn't given her the aftermath, she wouldn't have died several times back and forth......"

"Lian is just an ignorant woman who doesn't leave the door, and if she had a little bit of proportion in her heart, she wouldn't have ended up in such a situation. Now that Shen Wenhe doesn't care about her, she has no backbone, and when she leaves the inner house, what other clever means can she have?" Qingge sighed, still apprehensive about last night's fire, and said uneasily: "Mu Yun, can you erase all the traces of that fire oil?"

"Don't worry, the piece that was poured with fire oil burned vigorously, and it was mixed with snow water, it was not very obvious, I rubbed it with grass ash and re-covered the soil, and then mixed it with snow water, to ensure that no one found out. Mu Yun patted his chest, with a look of confidence that I am doing something, squeezed his eyes at Qingge, and said: "I just said that the girl is still soft-hearted, it is better to simply let the Lian family burn Li Shuqiao and the Zhou family to death, lest this pair of femme fatales and mothers and daughters harm people again and again, which is not good for the third room." ”

Li Shuci sat in the bathtub and breathed a sigh of comfort through the screen, she knew that Mu Yun was worried about Li Shuqiao's use of Shen Hong and assassination of Li Shuci, but this matter was just a drop in the bucket for killing her son. She will not let Li Shuqiao die so happily, she wants Li Shuqiao to deeply understand that after the pain she once suffered, let her die clearly and regret not being at the beginning! If you want to make a person suffer, death is not the best way.

She sighed: "First, the Li Mansion is not an ordinary small family, if there is really a death, it is difficult to guarantee that things will not make a big fuss, and there are too many people who pay attention to it, which will cause some unnecessary trouble." Second, if someone really dies, the hatred in Lian's heart will probably turn into fear, which will not benefit us. And now, not only will Lian not be afraid, but will also intensify her efforts to find opportunities to vent the bitterness and hatred in her heart. ”

"You people's hearts are bent and bent! How long is it? Forget it, you still have to think about these troubled things. I'm happy to step back into the background and just be a free-spirited accomplice......" Mu Yun sighed as he shook his head with wide eyes. After saying that, he staggered back to his room to rest.

Several girls looked at each other, crying and laughing: "What is this ......?"

At this time, Yuebai came in lightly from outside and asked in a low voice, "The girl hasn't slept yet, has she?"

As soon as Xue Xin nodded, she heard Li Shuci's voice coming from behind the screen, and Yuebai hurriedly said: "Girl, the people in each room have been injured a little, and now they are busy, and the people in the house are talking about last night's fire, and it is not difficult to inquire." The eldest lady has woken up, and now she can only lie on the bed, her right cheek and back are burned, and she may not be able to get off the ground for a year and a half. ”

"The eldest girl is not as serious as the eldest lady, but the bare arms and feet are more serious. When the eldest lady entered the house, the eldest girl covered her face with her arms and fell unconscious. The hair was burned when the eldest lady desperately took her out, and the hair could still grow, but the arms and feet were bound to fall scars. ”

Xue Xin and Lan Xin served Li Shuci to dress, and when they heard this, they gasped, it was not a trivial matter for the girl to leave such a scar on her body. Li Shuci said quietly: "The poor aunt is desperate to save her, but she may not be able to exchange Li Shuqiao's gratitude." ”

Yuebai agreed: "What the girl said is right, the eldest girl didn't care about the life or death of the eldest lady on the way back, and actually desperately looked for a mirror!"

Several people present were stunned when they heard this, and Li Shuci sneered: "What a good heart!"

Qingge also simply refreshed and changed her clothes, took the cotton cloth in Xue Xin's hand, wrung Li Shuci's hair, and said, "The frost white has made plum blossoms, and the girl eats less to pad her stomach before sleeping." ”

Li Shuci nodded, looked at the plum branches inserted in the celadon vase, and said with a smile: "Frost white is really full of tricks to eat here." ”

After half a month of cold weather, the weather finally cleared. The green branches and plums in the backyard, the plum blossoms, the Taige palace powder, etc., compete to bloom, the plum blossoms are overflowing with cold fragrance, and the residual snow is embellished on the petals of the red and pink pink, a piece of enchanting and charming.

Qixiang stood outside Merlin, looking at Mei Bai who was cleaning the garden in front of her, her shoulders shrunk slightly, she walked over hesitantly, and said softly, "I'll help you." ”

Before, Li Shuqiao and Shen Hong conspired to plot Li Shuci at the Liufang Literary Conference, and Qixiang tried to drag Li Shuci under the instruction of a mysterious person in order to save her brother's life, but she didn't get the opportunity. Li Shuci didn't pursue her too much afterwards, nor did he kick her out of the house, but demoted her to a rough girl, washing and sweeping the floor in the yard all day long.

Qixiang carefully avoided her work like a frightened bird, and did not dare to show her face easily, for fear that the five girls would be in a bad mood and remember the wrong thing she had done before, so she would be knifed. But several months have passed, and the fifth girl seems to have forgotten what happened before, never mentioned it again, and did not trouble her family, but she was even more uneasy because of this, and she gradually understood in her heart that she did not deserve to die, but Li Shuci would not let her go easily, and kept her under her nose and stared at her all the time.

Mei Bai glanced up at her and said with a smile: "Don't dare to bother my sister." ”

But there was no superfluous word.

"Sister, where is it, you and I are just rough girls, and it is appropriate to help each other. Qixiang smiled embarrassedly, saw that Mei Bai was silent, and said: "In this cold winter, my hands are frozen outside, I have a good snow jade paste, go back and apply some, and I won't get frostbite." ”

Mei Bai looked up at her for a long time, and said, "The girl treats her subordinates generously, and the Zitang powder she appreciates is also quite useful, is my sister useless?"

Qixiang didn't dare to use what Li Shuci gave at all, and sneered: "Hmm...... Not...... Not yet, I'll keep it...... My sister and Shuangbai Yuebai entered the house together, why did the two of them always come to the girl and let you be a rough girl?"

Mei Bai finally stopped the broom in her hand, smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "Although the three of us entered the mansion together, what does it have to do with what we do? Besides, as subordinates, we naturally follow the orders of our masters to do things." Isn't it normal for me to do some rough work when I'm clumsy?"

Qixiang was about to say something, Mei Bai turned around and was about to leave, Qixiang grabbed Mei Bai's sleeve and said hurriedly: "Do you remember Green Ju?"

Mei Bai was pulled by her, so she had to turn back. Said: "Didn't Lu Ju get the grace of the master and go out of the house?"

"That's just a façade, she ...... She's dead...... I, I saw it with my own eyes. Qixiang's eyes were flustered with a hint of fear, she subconsciously shook her head, said, pointed to the plum tree over there, and said, "That's it, right there, even the bones have melted and turned into blood......

Qixiang's face turned pale, her voice trembled, she got up at night to go to the thatched house that night, who knew that she was unintentionally seen...... "It was the big grinning girl in the fifth girl's room, who poured the body of Lu Ju out of the sack, dug a pit, sprinkled medicinal powder on the corpse, and Lu Ju ...... It's just a little bit ......."

It had been a long time, but she was still terrified when she remembered that scene, which was why she had been terrified all day long, for fear that one day she would be quietly melted away like a green chrysanthemum.

Mei Bai was stunned, and subconsciously looked at the plum tree, Li Shuci likes strange flowers and plants, and there are no less than 20 kinds of plum trees in the plum garden. It was a thousand cinnabar trees, and the flowers were hanging tremblingly on the branches, as if they had really been taken care of and nourished, and the pink petals were particularly bright and eye-catching against the white snow. Mei Bai frowned slightly, looked directly at Qixiang, and interrupted her: "What nonsense is my sister talking about? Sister must have read it wrong, or she had a dream at night, don't scare yourself anymore." It's freezing, so go back to the house and rest. ”

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Qixiang stood stunned in place, she didn't expect Mei Bai to react like this, she just wanted to find someone to help her spread the news to her family and ransom her out. Although the fifth girl did not trouble her or treat her harshly, she cut off all contact between her and the outside world, and even when she met with her family, someone followed her all the time. She felt that she could not stay in this mansion any longer, and when she thought of the death of the green chrysanthemum, she was terrified and sleepless day and night, she wanted to leave, and she did not want to stay here for a moment.

The fire at the Reishin Nunnery was finally concluded by accident, which was expected by everyone. The big stone in Lian's heart suddenly put it down.

Coming out of the old lady's room, he moved very slowly, as if he was walking, and his steps were light. Recently, she has been in a much better mood, and she is not angry or sad when she sees those concubines who are triumphant and sometimes provocative in front of her. It's like seeing rows of dead bodies, and I don't think about it at all.

Jiang Shi followed behind her, looking at Lian Shi suspiciously, I don't know why she suddenly got better in the past few days? After thinking about it, she leaned over and bit her handkerchief and said with a weird smile: "It seems that those little concubines are really good at serving people, and the second sister-in-law has nothing to do, so she spends some time on herself. ”
