Master Lu replied to Xiaohu in a more firm tone: "Can this kind of thing be true or false?" Of course it's true! As he spoke, he inadvertently knocked the lid of the teapot to the ground, and immediately a maidservant came in to clean it up. Master Lu seemed to say to Master Su unintentionally: "If you don't believe it! You can ask this maid in my family if the woman sent by the Xi family is dead! ”

The maid who was changing the teacup heard her master's words, her whole body stiffened, and then she was naturally busy with her own affairs. Seeing that Master Su didn't intend to ask her what she meant, he bent down and retreated. Hurriedly ran to the backyard, and only stopped in front of the old lady's main house, strolled forward to the main house and said, "Madam! The old man asked if the woman sent by the Xi family was still alive? ”

After a while, a cold voice came from inside: "Dead! ”

The maid then turned away and walked towards the front yard. As soon as she came out of the second door, two mothers-in-law went out of the backyard wife's house, all the way to the dilapidated house where the woman sent by the Xi family lived. Chen Minhong, who was guarding the house, saw the two mothers-in-law enter the house with ropes, and knew that what the owner was worried about had finally come.

Ding's sister-in-law's daughter-in-law can only lie in bed now, because she has not been able to eat meat and salt for a long time, and her physical functions are strictly out of balance. Now it has reached the point where she will faint when she stands, and she has to lie in bed every day, because the Lu family does not let her die well, and someone watches her every day, and forces her to continue to drink and brush water, so it has not reached the point of dying in bed and no one knows.

The old woman who has been guarding her is really pitiful when she sees her, and every time she secretly feeds her with the brush water from the master's rice pot. The masters eat polished rice, and the water from the pot is much better than the water from the people's pot. If it weren't for the kindness of this woman. I'm afraid that the Lu family will have the ability to prevent her from dying, and I'm afraid that I won't have this surviving life at this time.

But they said that the two old women who came out of the old lady's house had just entered the house and tied a rope with a noose around the neck of the woman who was lying on the bed and could not move. He was knocked out from behind with a knife in his hand.

Xiaohu and Master Su outside also happened to force Master Lu to take them into the backyard to find someone. Master Lu thought very simply, at this time, he was not afraid that Master Su would go into the backyard to find someone. Even if he had found the woman, he would have hanged himself.

It's a pity that it backfired, and under the leadership of General Liu Zi, intentionally or unintentionally, they found the residence of Ding's sister-in-law and daughter-in-law without any further effort. As soon as I entered the door, I saw two mothers-in-law lying on the edge of the bed on their knees, and Sister-in-law Ding's daughter-in-law was lying on the bed with a knotted rope around her neck. Anyone can see what is going on in this situation. But Xiaohu didn't speak, just stood quietly outside the door and waited for Sister-in-law Ding to come over.

Because they haven't seen Sister-in-law Ding's daughter-in-law, they can only take it away if Sister-in-law Ding comes to confirm it. Seeing Xiaohu standing outside with an expressionless face, Master Su didn't say anything to accuse Master Lu. didn't understand what Xiaohu meant, so he had to stand outside with Xiaohu without squeaking. Master Lu saw that the two of them were standing there without any expression, and he wanted to open his mouth to explain and quickly shut up. He has already lived a fine life, so he naturally knows how wrong it is. It's better not to ask him anything. You don't have to say a word. After all, this woman is his own concubine, is it dead or alive or is it not a word from his main family?

Ding's sister-in-law followed Xiaohu to arrange the guards who picked her up and hurried to Lu's house, and was taken to the backyard, Xiaohu saw her coming, and said, "You go in and have a look, are you still alive?" "The actual intention was to let her see it, but it was her daughter-in-law.

It is really not an exaggeration for the woman lying on the bed to be called a skeleton by the Xi family's cook, and Sister-in-law Ding couldn't recognize this as her own daughter-in-law, or if her daughter-in-law called her mother weakly. to confirm that this is indeed her daughter-in-law. In order not to be seen by the Lu family, Sister-in-law Ding had to endure the pain. took off the rope sleeve around his daughter-in-law's neck, and gave her daughter-in-law all her clothes and quilts, and then went out to report to the owner: "The owner! People are still angry! ”

After Xiaohu got confirmation from Sister-in-law Ding, he said to Master Lu: "Since the person is not dead, has Master Lu already figured out how to deal with it?" ”

Master Lu still didn't give up and said: "This woman is really not sent by the Xi family, this is my family's maid who made a mistake, and she was sent here and locked up because she was punished." ”

Master Su finally spoke at this time: "Master Lu! Whether it's or not, you just let it go! What good is a dying person to you? ”

Since Master Su has spoken, Master Lu really feels that it is not wise to have a hard top, so he nodded helplessly and said, "Then Lu will obey Lord Su's wishes!" After speaking, he instructed the two mothers-in-law who had woken up: "Go to Mrs. and bring this woman's deed!" ”

Mrs. Lu failed to get a son because she wanted to borrow this woman, and the hatred in her heart has not been eliminated, and now she wants to let this woman go free, she is a thousand and ten thousand disagree. gritted his teeth and said coldly to the mother-in-law who was speaking: "No! Let's just say that the Xi family didn't give it! ”

"Yes! Wife! ”

"It doesn't matter if you don't have a deed, Master Lu can write a statement with the official, and the official will indicate in this woman's new household registration that the original deed is invalid due to loss."

When Master Lu heard Lord Su's words, he felt that this man who came with Master Su was likely not only not simple, but also had a lot of momentum. Otherwise, this Master Su would not have pressed himself as a local snake so much, but went to curry favor with a stranger passing by in a foreign country. Thinking of such a powerful relationship, he didn't dare to follow his wife's wishes to detain this woman's deed, and immediately said with a smile: "It may be that the insider has forgotten that the Xi family has given the deed, so Lu Mou will go and let the insider find it." Please wait! ”

After he finished speaking, he walked quickly to the main house where his wife lived, and the old lady was leaning on the soft couch and smoking dry tobacco, and a maid helped her pinch her shoulders and a maid helped her beat her legs.

"Take out the woman's deed! Master Su helped that person everywhere, and Master Ben didn't look right, so it was better not to offend those who couldn't afford to offend because of a lowly slave. ”

The old lady who was smoking a dry cigarette did not speak, but beckoned the maid standing beside her to go to the inner room and take out the box specially containing the deed, and then she sat up straight, took out a large string of keys, and found one of them to open the box. She couldn't read herself, and she couldn't find out who was who, so she nodded her chin and motioned to Master Lu to find it by herself. Master Lu quickly picked out the deed he was looking for, folded it, took it in his hand and trotted back to Master Su.

Liu Zijiang, Chen Minhong and the other two guards had already tied up the stretcher, and Sister-in-law Ding and the mother-in-law who was guarding her daughter-in-law carefully lifted her daughter-in-law and put her daughter-in-law on the stretcher with the quilt.

Seeing that Master Lu finally took out the deed, after he saw clearly that it was indeed the deed of Ding's sister-in-law and daughter-in-law, Xiaohu took out a silver ticket of five hundred taels from his pocket and handed it to Master Lu in front of Master Su. Said politely: "Please ask Master Lu to write a book of concubines!" Please also ask Master Su to be a witness for both of us, my relatives and the Lu family will not be related to each other in the future. ”

Master Su smiled and nodded: "It's easy to say!" Say! ”

Master Lu just pondered for a moment, and then ordered his subordinates to take the pen and paper to the front hall, and the three of them went to the front hall, and Sister-in-law Ding followed behind with the guards carrying a stretcher.

As soon as they returned to the inn, they were busy looking for a doctor, and when they saw the second girl with the children in the inn, they saw Xiang Kun's mother, which was regarded as seeing the real sense of the skin. She thought she was hard enough, but she couldn't hold back her crazy tears.

"Sister-in-law Ding! I'm afraid that she won't be able to let Xiang Kun and Zhenzhen see her like this, and I'm worried that she will scare the two children! ”

"Nope! This is their mother-in-law, how can you not take a look! Sister-in-law Ding cried and shook her head.

Erya didn't argue with Sister-in-law Ding, took out the milk powder for the children, asked Xiao Er to brew a bowl of boiling water, and handed it to Sister-in-law Ding: "You feed her!" The doctor will have to wait a little longer to arrive. ”

Sister-in-law Ding hurriedly took it with both hands: "Thank you, the lady of the owner!" I'm in a mess now, and I can't think of what to do for a while, but I let the lady of the proprietor suffer. ”

"You're welcome, hurry up and feed her and give her nutrition."

"Hey! Good! You are welcome! Sister-in-law Ding fed her daughter-in-law spoonful by spoonful, and before the bowl of milk powder was finished, the doctor came over.

"How?" As soon as the doctor took the pulse, Sister-in-law Ding asked urgently. The doctor who closed his eyes and carefully checked his pulse for a while before opening his eyes smiled at several pairs of eager eyes: "It doesn't matter! It's just too empty, and you can raise it back by slowly recuperating. It is best to cook porridge with clear chicken soup, eat small and frequent meals, and make up for half a month to recover. In the past month, the diet should be lighter and not too oily. ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that there was no danger to their lives, and even Xiang Kunniang, who was not very sane, smiled.

After seeing off the doctor, everyone went back to their rooms. Leaving only Sister-in-law Ding to take care of her daughter-in-law, Sister-in-law Ding leaned close to her daughter-in-law's ear and asked, "Xiang Kun and Zhenzhen are playing with the little masters in the yard, do you want to meet?" Seeing the daughter-in-law's confused eyes, she suddenly remembered that her daughter-in-law didn't know that the two children already had big names, so she whispered again: "Xiang Kun and Zhenzhen are the names given by the owner to the two children, and the owner also gave the two children the status of good citizens." Because they were worried that our family was a slave and a servant would affect the children's future lives, the owner also gave the two children a fatherless and motherless orphan. You have to remember that you can't let outsiders know that you are the mother of these two children, you just need to take care of the two children secretly, and you must not let anyone catch the handle. Otherwise, if Xiang Kun has the ability to be admitted to the Jinshi and become a senior official in the future, someone will harm you to him. Understandable? ”

Xiang Kunniang's tears flowed down the corners of her eyes into the sideburns on both sides, shook her head invisibly, and said weakly: "Mother! I understand that the future of my children is important, and as long as I can watch my two children grow up safely, I will die without regrets. ”

Sister-in-law Ding comforted her daughter-in-law while wiping her tears: "As long as you don't say it, it's okay to let people grab the handle, you can actually take the two children if you want to." There are many widowed women in the town of the owner, and they can all recognize their godsons and goddaughters and raise them by their side. When you go over, you will live with them, and you will say that you are a widow or a woman, and you will not say anything else. It just so happens that the two children are also studying in the town, and you will say that you like these two children, and that no one will suspect you if you are close to the children and care for them. ”

Xiang Kunniang listened to her mother-in-law's words, her face showed a look of joy, and her smiling face exuded a raw light. (To be continued.) )
