"What's the point of such a quibble?" There was anger in Mrs. Gu's deep voice.

"Yes, that's a quibble. In the future, once the matter is exposed, the Dong and Liao families can tell the truth, and they will say that you are all in the dark. But if you want to quibble, you must argue to the end. There is a saying called sin of desire. Shu E's hand hung down at her side, clenched tightly, and her short nails were firmly pinched into her palm. Only such a sharp sense of pain can make her ignore the uneasiness in her heart: "At that time, everyone is talking empty words, saying that you don't know anything, what real evidence is there?" Even if the saint is angry, he can still clearly judge the situation, Cao Fu betrayed a serious crime of bullying the king, and the Dong and Liao families must also be ineffective in investigation. ”

Mrs. Gu's dark eyes were full of anger, and she stared straight at Shu'e. After listening to Shu E's words, she seemed to see what terrible Shu E had become in front of her, and she couldn't help but retreat backwards. It's just that her steps were messy, obviously distracted, and she actually took two steps back, and her vest touched a magnolia tree.

"What's more, the two girls in the Shou'an Hall didn't say it that day, after such a long time, it was too late to say it." Shu E gently unfolded the painful palm that was pinched, and suddenly let go, the pain was even more obvious, and she couldn't help but hurriedly shake it up again: "If you don't report it, you are also a bully." So at this moment, Mrs. Dong, the so-called handle in your hand is like a double-edged sword, harming others and yourself. So Shu'e has to dare to persuade your wife. ”

"You say." Mrs. Gu said coldly.

"Thinking about it, Dong Liao and the two girls are both smart people in ice and snow, although they have been aware of it on the day they entered the palace, they have been hiding it until today and never mentioning it. Mrs., why don't you fulfill this intention of Qinghe County? This matter has come to this point, although the old lady of Cao Mansion is powerless to recover, Mrs. Dong, it is difficult for you to do anything. So Shu E is here, not only to persuade you, but also to beg you-" Shu E said hardly, but she didn't dare to look into Mrs. Gu's eyes, so she had to sweep her eyes away from Mrs. Gu's face, move elsewhere, and continued: "Take a step back as soon as possible, Master Dong has been promoted to Beijing, and the gentleman of Qinghe County is quite favored. ”

Mrs. Gu glared at Shu E angrily, without saying a word, but the look in her eyes was very strange. For a long time, the two of them just stood silently.

Suddenly, she heard the footsteps of people walking all the way in the night, and Shu'e wanted to ask Mrs. Gu to find a place to hide quickly, but she saw her standing motionless and silent.

Shu E turned her head slightly sideways and saw the people who had been in the night carrying lanterns from far and near. Then the lantern in the east corner of the garden was lit, and then the footsteps did not enter the back garden, but walked from east to west, and the lantern in the west corner was lit.

The footsteps slowly faded away, and from beginning to end, Mrs. Gu just stood silent. Shu E couldn't help but admire this aunt's calmness in her heart, such a calm bearing was far beyond her reach.

Shu E looked back at Mrs. Gu, only to see that the anger on her face had calmed down, her eyebrows furrowed, and she smiled at herself: "You don't let me interfere, but it is reasonable." It's just that I still have the last doubt. ”

Shu E listened to Mrs. Gu's gentle tone, although with regret, but there was no hostility, knowing that she had been persuaded by herself, she was very happy in her heart, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Mrs. Dong, please speak." ”

"Who are you? Who did you learn this smart and sharp spirit? Mrs. Gu lowered her head and adjusted the belt around her waist, looked up and asked.

"Mrs. Dong is missing? I am Cao Shu'e, and when I was a maid in this house, my name was Xiao She'er. Shu E also said with a straight face: "As for the smart and sharp spirit, I came here when I was six years old and got it from Cao Mansion, and I am sure of it." ”

"Good, good." Mrs. Gu smiled slightly, turned around and walked towards the wall.

"Mrs. Dong stays." Shu E hurriedly caught up with two steps and shouted.

Mrs. Gu looked at Shu E and said with a smile: "Mrs. Anguo doesn't give up, she must see where I came from, right?" ”

Shu E was slightly stunned, and Mrs. Gu was so shrewd, so she also smiled: "If you find out the way you are coming, you can fortify." ”

"Mrs. Anguo always thinks that I have the intention of harming Shuyan?" Mrs. Gu walked forward with Shu'e.

"Shu E is willing to believe that Mrs. Gu is a good intention." Shu E sighed softly.

Mrs. Gu stopped talking, just sighed softly, and led Shu E around behind a few big trees, and around the edge of the wall, Mrs. Gu suddenly stopped.

It was behind the big trees planted next to the wall, and it was also the place where the wall around Shuyan's hut met with the back wall of Cao's house.

The walls look the same, but I don't know what the mystery is.

Mrs. Gu looked at Shu E, who was puzzled, stretched out her hand and pointed to the place behind the tree, seeing that Shu E couldn't look carefully, she took two steps back and walked behind Shu E.

As she got closer, Shu E gradually noticed that there was something unusual about this small piece of wall. Shu E stretched out her hand tentatively and gently touched the wall, but it was empty under the tentacles! Shu E was secretly frightened in her heart, and she almost couldn't help but scream, and she couldn't help but lean in and look inside.

Although her vision was blurred, the strange scene in front of her still made Shu E exclaim.

Behind the tree, there was a wall about a foot wide and waist-high, and it turned out to be a hollow. It's just that if it weren't so close together, it would still look like a wall.

Shu E tentatively stretched out her arm further, and when she stretched out less than a foot, she actually touched the wall again.

However, this made Shu E even more puzzled in her heart, although Cao Mansion and Dong Mansion were built against each other, but there was no such a close distance, when Shu E climbed on the tree and saw Shuyan that night, she could see it clearly, it was clearly about a foot away.

Shu E thought about it for a while, and already understood the truth, she was shocked and sighed, and couldn't help but feel a little angry: "It's not unusual to say it, it turns out that a small half wall has been built here, which just covers the entrance of this cave." At first glance it looks ......"

Shu E suddenly felt that there was a lotus-colored thing in front of her for a while, and before she came back to her senses, her neck was slightly cold, followed by a tightness, and she only felt itchy in her throat, and then there was a suffocating feeling of being oppressed.

Instinctively reacting, Shu E went to pull the thing on her neck behind her, her fingers just touched, and the moment of calcium carbide firelight, Shu E suddenly remembered that when Mrs. Gu was talking to herself, she had straightened the belt around her waist.

The suffocation in the throat was far less than the suspicion in her heart, Mrs. Gu was so stubborn, but she was suddenly persuaded by herself and changed her mind; Mrs. Gu turned to leave, and chased after herself, and she suddenly asked herself if she wanted to see the way she came; And when she walked behind the tree, Mrs. Gu showed herself how to show her, and by the way turned around and stood behind.
