Chapter Twenty-Four: A Tragic Story

"This woman is really vulgar, even the place where she hides in the back house is so bells and whistles."

Looking at the carved dragon and flying phoenix on the vermilion lacquer door plaque and the door frame, He Hongyao couldn't help muttering in his heart.

Seeing Aunt Wu coming over with He Hongyao, two young and handsome young men immediately ran over.

A small servant hurriedly stepped forward to push open the vermilion lacquer door of Aunt Wu's residence, and the other stood with his hands down, waiting for orders.

"Go and make a pot of tea before the rain that I got before."

Aunt Wu didn't look back and instructed the little servant who was waiting for her, and then changed her tone of voice to He Hongyao with a smile and a groan: "Sister, please come in." ”

He Hongyao smiled and nodded.

With the door that was opened by the little maid just now, she had already seen that the furnishings in Aunt Wu's room were really extraordinarily luxurious.

He Hongyao knew that Aunt Wu brought her and Xia Xueyi to the back house of Luofang Courtyard, and without the permission of Aunt Wu herself, no one dared to enter or leave casually except for a few close confidants of Aunt Wu.

There is a long water pavilion isolated from the Luofang Courtyard in front of it, so the prosperity of the fireworks in front does not affect the tranquility and tranquility of the back house, which shows that Aunt Wu has been working hard in Wuzhou City for many years, and has accumulated a certain amount of property power.

Perhaps this is also the reason why Aunt Wu has been haunting Wuzhou City and is reluctant to go to other more prosperous and rich towns.

This room looks like a three-in-one entrance, and the first one may have been used by Aunt Wu to receive some guests that she could look at.

This room is not so much a small living room as a treasure room of exquisite opulence.

Aunt Wu may be strong in martial arts, and she is not afraid of anyone who dares to covet it, so even if she occasionally shows her wealth, she doesn't care about it.

He Hongyao silently glanced at the three walls of this room.

She saw all kinds of treasures carved out of high-quality mahogany, with a dazzling array of antique jade, as well as the huge Fang Ding jade bottle next to the couch, and the scroll Feng Ling Silk Duster contained in the Fang Ding jade bottle, and felt that the valuable things in the entire Wuzhou City were probably from Aunt Wu.

"Insatiable!"

In an instant, He Hongyao strictly gave a strict definition to Aunt Wu, who was full of smugness, in his heart.

"How? Red medicine, sister, I'm not bad here, right? Look at my carpet, do you know how much gold? Hee-hee, I don't know, right? Saying it scares you to death, 150,000 gold. ”

He Hongyao suddenly looked at the carpet under his feet that was a little dull in color, and blurted out, "150,000 gold?" ”

Aunt Wu smiled proudly: "Yes, one or two have never been less, not for the material of this blanket is more valuable, it is not easy to get it, it is a tribute from Huanyue to the emperor Lao'er......"

He Hongyao looked at Aunt Wu with some surprise, this woman is really arrogant, even the emperor's tribute dared to collect the emperor's tribute, and spread it on the floor of her room?

Aunt Wu was not humble to He Hongyao, she first sat down on a beautiful and luxurious couch, and raised a large-size embroidered shoe foot that only a Miao Jiang woman can have.

"Red medicine, just sit down...... I don't know how to steal this carpet from the bold gelding, no one dares to ask for it on the rivers and lakes, I want it, it is said that it was embroidered by a few ladies in the harem of Huanyue Kingdom. ”

"That country is also stingy, I don't know that people's palaces are spacious and large, Baba has made such a small carpet, it's really going to laugh to death, the emperor is not enough to spread it wherever he takes it...... But you see, it will be nice to spread it in my room. ”

He Hongyao listened to Aunt Wu's endless chatter, so she slowly sat down on a couch opposite her, thinking to herself, this woman didn't really call her over to gossip, right?

"It's good, and it's also thanks to Sister Wu, you're so bold."

Although He Hongyao wanted to talk to Aunt Wu well, I don't know why, obviously she wanted to flatter her, and there was still an obvious taste of sarcasm when she said it.

Fortunately, Aunt Wu didn't care, and said with a smile: "There is no money in this world that I dare not make, and I dare not use it, hehe-hee......" She suddenly covered her mouth with one sleeve, and a wicked smile appeared on her face.

He Hongyao could almost immediately conclude that the sentence she didn't finish must have been "There is no man she doesn't dare to play." ”

It's just that in front of a girl like her, she finally didn't say it.

An indescribable resentment suddenly filled He Hongyao's heart.

"By the way, Hongyao, when it comes to making money, you have thought about the business I told you about yesterday, do you want to do it? People are still waiting for a reply. ”

Aunt Wu looked at He Hongyao's face and immediately changed the topic easily.

She wasn't afraid that He Hongyao would be angry, she just didn't want to turn her face with her for the time being.

After all, she hasn't gotten Xia Xueyi to her bed yet, in case this little goblin deliberately lies to Xia Xueyi, and wants to run away, maybe Xia Xueyi will really follow her, it won't be fun.

Therefore, Aunt Wu decided to find a way to tie He Hongyao first.

Yesterday, Xiaozhu from the Li Mansion came over again, and Aunt Wu didn't want to continue to mess with the Wu family's affairs...... She was so annoyed that the Wu family let go of her young and beautiful capital, and she had to go and fight with a bad old man in the Li Mansion; Isn't it just a family feud, you can't repay it openly, and you can't just do it secretly?

If she has to make a loss, she doesn't understand what these Central Plains women think in their hearts?

But she suddenly thought that He Hongyao would come over soon, so she said it casually.

I didn't want Xiaozhu to just leave on the front foot, and He Hongyao really came to see her in person.

He Hongyao frowned: "Sister Wu, you also know, the medicine that revives the dead is not said to be available, at least give me some time to prepare it, right?" ”

Without waiting for He Hongyao to finish speaking, Aunt Wu suddenly jumped up and applauded and smiled: "Oh, Hongyao, as long as you promise to take over this business, the rest is easy to say, you see that I am bright and quiet here, you don't want to go anywhere, just prepare it here with me, what do you need, you speak, it is far away in the sky, sister, I also have the ability to ask someone to hurry up and send it over three thousand miles quickly!" ”

He Hongyao hesitated: "This ...... It's not good to bother my sister, right? ”

Aunt Wu cut a voice: "What are you and I still seeing, I really told you, this buyer used to be kind to me back then, and it happened that she had the same surname as me, so we married sisters, she is now in great danger, and urgently needs your medicine to relieve misfortune, red medicine, you help her is equivalent to helping my sister and my ......"

He Hongyao couldn't help laughing when she saw Aunt Wu's anxious look: "I didn't expect my sister to be such a humane person." ”

Aunt Wu raised her hand and stroked the hair hanging down her cheek and said with a smile: "You don't know, I did a case recklessly in the Central Plains in my early years, and I was accidentally arrested and put in the official prison. ”

"My sworn sister was a little girl back then, and she saw her father interrogating me in the back hall of the official office, and when she saw that I was born like a flower and jade, she fell in love, and after her father left the court, she pestered her father to ask her father to let me go."

"But the case I did back then was a murder, I fell in love with a bastard man, and I wanted to marry him wholeheartedly, even if I was a concubine, it didn't matter, but I didn't expect that stinky man to play with my mother, while disgusting me as a female snitch, and even laughing with other women in bed with my mother......."

Aunt Wu said this, a self-deprecating sneer appeared on her face, "That bastard's martial arts are much higher than mine, I can only endure the humiliation and keep hiding by the side and listening to them make fun of me while doing things...... It wasn't until they were exhausted that I struck out on the spot. ”

"I didn't expect that bastard man to be so ruthless, when he was hit by my sword, he could jump up and fight with me, desperately trying to protect that slut, fortunately I came prepared, and first quenched the poison on the sword......"

Aunt Wu's emotions that she tried her best to understate finally became a little excited, and she had gritted her teeth when she said this, which shows how angry she was when she mentioned the events of the past.

"If it weren't for the poison on that bastard's body and died quickly, I would have almost been killed by him, but I was very injured by him, and finally called the government to arrest the cheap woman who escaped."

Although He Hongyao didn't like Aunt Wu at all, she thought that she had heard that Aunt Wu had been running to the Central Plains all the time, and even the position of the leader of the Five Poisons Sect was not uncommon, it might be related to this man.

But it turned out to be such a tragic end, which she had never heard of.

Therefore, out of instinctive righteous indignation, He Hongyao immediately said: "Sister Wu, even if the government intervenes, you are just killing a man with a weak heart, there shouldn't be any big crime, right?" ”

Aunt Wu smiled bitterly and shook her head: "It's not what you think, because this bastard man is not an ordinary Jianghu person...... He was a court general from a martial arts background. ”

He Hongyao couldn't help but pause: That's right, no wonder people dislike Aunt Wu for being a female snitch.

For an instant, I didn't know whether to gloat or sigh with sympathy.

Sure enough, a woman who put Lang in shape has a sad story in her heart.

"I killed a border guard, do you think, will the government let me go? I was summarily executed. Because the government was afraid that I was armed with martial arts, and that I would have other accomplices rob the prison, they wanted to kill me as soon as possible. ”

Aunt Wu laughed as she spoke.

And that kind of hysterical laugh.

He Hongyao knew what she was laughing at.

Aunt Wu laughed at her infatuation back then, it is conceivable that she has given up everything for the sake of the border guard, where are there any accomplices to rob her prison?

"Sister Wu, your sworn sister can actually ask her father to let you go?"

He Hongyao was a little curious, this official was really confused, just for the sake of his daughter's intercession, he let go of a murderous female snitch?

"Haha, how is that possible? Sister, you're too naΓ―ve......"

Aunt Wu returned to her previous bewitching form and laughed.
