Xia Ruan looked at the jade pot on the table and was slightly stunned.

I saw that in this bottle, a few blooming plum blossoms were sparsely inserted.

The room has a fresh fragrance and a hint of medicinal smell.

She didn't understand why Aunt Zhou would personally send these plum blossoms early this morning.

And coincidentally, Cuiyun didn't follow, saying that he was very sick.

Xia Ruan felt that something was wrong here, Aunt Zhou had never been a kind-hearted person, even if Cuiyun was sick and dying, then she was the one who could force Cuiyun to get up and work-

"Third Miss, it's not good, something is wrong."

Cuiliu hurriedly walked to Xia Ruan's side from outside the house, with a little panic in her expression, but she was afraid of startling the Li family, who was resting in the inner room, so she could only lower her voice. Her gaffe made Xia Ruan unable to stop thinking and pretending to be calm.

Xia Ruan smiled: "Don't worry, what scared you like this?" ”

Cuiliu glanced at the inner room and felt that Li didn't hear what she had just said, so she explained, "Cuiyu is dead. ”

How did Jade die? When Xia Ruan heard this, her heart couldn't help but sink, couldn't the eldest aunt finally hold it back? Or is this something else doing?

However, if Cuiyu died, Cuiliu should be elated in her heart, not as panicked as she is now, could it be ......

Sure enough, after saying this, Cuiliu shuddered, she leaned into Xia Ruan's ear, and continued softly: "She, she has hit the evil spirit." Mother Wang refused to let people take a closer look at Cuiyu's corpse, but I heard from my ninth sister-in-law...... Jade her...... The eyeballs are gone. ”

The ninth sister-in-law in Cuiliu's mouth, Xia Ruan knows the Tao.

The ninth sister-in-law often delivers food to the eldest aunt's house, and it is normal to occasionally hear about the things at the eldest aunt's house, and the ninth sister-in-law is a person who doesn't like to cause trouble, so she will tell Cuiliu about it, which is probably also a good intention.

Seeing Cuiliu's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Xia Ruan asked with a smile: "Why do you say this, it may be ......"

Cuiliu shook her head and vetoed the meaning of Xia Ruan's words.

Xia Ruan is always smiling on weekdays, and it seems that he doesn't care about anything. In fact, Cuiliu Zhilu said that the third miss is not such a mindless person.

The third lady is careful and has good eyesight, and it is impossible to hide the little things around her, but this time......

Thinking of this, Cuiliu raised her arm, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead with her cuffs, and then said softly: "A few days ago, Uncle Lu Dao didn't know where to get a cat back. This cat is extremely good-looking, and the uncle likes it very much. It's just that the cat didn't eat later, somehow. The uncle was in a hurry, thinking that this cat would not work. But no one expected that this cat would eat what Jade sent after the worst of them, and he was only willing to stay by Jade's side. As soon as the uncle was happy at that time, he rewarded a pair of jade bracelets. ”

Xia Ruan was not surprised when he heard this, but his face smiled a little lighter: "If it's just like this, where can it have anything to do with the evil spirit, Cuiliu thinks it's possible to ......."

"No, miss." Cuiliu hurriedly interrupted Xia Ruan's words and sighed, "But it's strange here, this cat was later taken care of by Cuiyu." But on the day we went to Xianyang, the cat suddenly died, and when it died, it is said that the eyeballs were gouged out. At that time, the uncle was angry, and Cuiyu was also frightened, and this fright became sick. The ninth sister-in-law said that Cuiyu was actually not sick, but an evil spirit, and she also heard Cuiyu crying in the yard, which was strange and infiltrating...... You say, when Jade died, she ...... with this cat."

Speaking of this, Cuiliu couldn't help but shudder, as if she had also seen the ghostly courtyard herself.

After hearing these words, Xia Ruan still looked calm: "You quickly forgot about this matter when you heard it." If you don't have anything to do, don't go to your aunt's side to join in the fun, just don't know what to do. If the ninth sister-in-law mentions it to you again, you won't be able to tell. Also, remember not to tell your mother about this, where can she listen to such unfortunate things now. ”

After hearing this, Cuiliu quickly nodded.

Xia Ruan Zhilu said that the matter here is not as simple as it seems.

The methods of the eldest uncle, she had learned in the past......

The matter of jade, whether it is an evil spirit, Xia Ruan is not sure. Because she can come back to life now, it's incredible.

But Xia Ruan is sure that there are other reasons for Cuiyu's death.

A few days ago, she vaguely learned from her father that her eldest uncle already wanted to take a concubine in his heart. However, the eldest aunt has been too strong all these years, and the strength of the Zhao family is there, so the eldest uncle can't say these words.

In fact, she somewhat understood that the eldest aunt was initially calculated by the eldest uncle.

The eldest uncle has been peeking at his mother's dowry all these years, but as a man, the affairs of the house are naturally handed over to his wife. The eldest aunt cares about the eldest uncle in her heart, so she has been doing her best to provoke the feelings of her father and mother over the years. But the eldest aunt never thought that the person next to her pillow would set a trap for herself.

Because in the past, she heard in Kyoto that the reputation of the eldest aunt was a little unbearable, and she had been provoking the feelings of her husband's second brother and sister-in-law, which eventually led to the destruction of the second grandfather of the Xia family.

When Xia Ruan heard this, he felt a little funny, and felt that this was all retribution.

Now it seems that it is not as simple as she thought back then.

The father has already taken a concubine, so if the eldest uncle also wants to take a concubine, there is an excuse.

And this week's aunt ......

After Xia Ruan thought about these things in his heart, he glanced at Cuiliu and comforted: "In a few days, you will go to the temple with me to worship the Buddha and add some sesame oil money." Don't take this to heart. As the saying goes, don't do bad things on weekdays, and don't be shocked when you knock on the door in the middle of the night. The matter of jade has little to do with us, so you don't have to think too much. ”

When Cuiliu heard this, she was stunned, and then smiled apologetically: "Miss, the slave maid knows what to say." ”

"Well, I've been working hard for you all these years, and I haven't let you have any idle time. But I still have to let you do ...... this matter. Xia Ruan sighed, "It seems that something is wrong with Xiyuan recently, if you have time, pay more attention to it." ”

She didn't clearly tell Cuiliu that she saw Cuiyun's abnormal appearance last night, but for some reason, she always felt that Cuiyu's death was not so simple, and it had something to do with Cuiyun.

Xia Ruan didn't know why, after hearing about Cuiyu, his heart gradually became a little uneasy......

"The slave and maid are not hard, the slave and maid have this matter in mind, and they will definitely do it properly." Cuiliu replied.

Xia Ruan had a light smile on her lips: "Remember not to alarm Aunt Zhou......"

Cuiliu sneered, but did not answer in a hurry, and said after a while: "The slave remembers." ”

Xia Ruan believes that there will be movement on Aunt Zhou's side soon.

After all, Cuiyu is Aunt Zhou's cousin.

Xia Ruan couldn't help frowning, and secretly guessed in his heart, who did this thing, and who did he want to destroy?
