"Miss Seven, I found it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" Tong Hai's slightly thick voice trembled slightly.

Su Ximei looked up, and the deep valley seemed to be shrouded in darkness, but he couldn't be seen from a distance of more than ten zhang. The valley was silent, and as soon as Tong Hai's words came out, it seemed to come from the void, and there were echoes echoing in the valley.

The four of them followed the sound and stopped at a ditch in the woods ahead.

Tong Hai was already in the ditch, and when he heard the sound of walking above, he looked up solemnly, and his eyes were already red.

"Seventh Miss, Third Sister-in-law—"

Su Ximei waved her hand and motioned for him not to say anything. Mother Tong saw the big broken wine vat in the ditch, and the head and severed limbs next to the wine vat, and she understood everything.

How could the second lady be so ruthless! The eldest lady is also her eldest sister!

There is also King Ling, the eldest lady is his wife, the original oath, the original white head is not separated, why did it fall to such a point?

There were exclamations from the two girls in her ears, and Tong's mother fainted crying.

――――――――――――

The two girls helped Tong's mother back to the carriage. Su Ximei found a well-lit place on the mountain, and buried the eldest sister's body under the soil with Tong Hai.

Su Ximei kowtowed three times in front of the grave, and her expression was calm from beginning to end.

Maybe people who don't know will think that she is cold by nature, but Tong Hai can see that Miss Seven is a person who values love and righteousness.

On the way back, Tong's mother woke up. Su Ximei only explained in a few words, and didn't mention today's matter again.

At this time, it was already dark, and the lord of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Zheng family, and the young ladies had not returned to the house, and the mansion was deserted than usual.

Tong's mother said a few words to the mother-in-law who watched the corner door and left with Tong Hai.

The three of Miss Seven's master and servant also returned to the courtyard of the northwest chamber. Chen's mother was busy instructing the mother-in-law in the kitchen to prepare the meal, and Ling Xiang brought a hot cotton handkerchief to Miss Seven to clean her hands.

But Miss Seven has not said a word since she came back, and she is also distressed in the eyes of these people.

After a simple meal, Ling Xiang served Miss Seven to wash and rest.

Yuan Xiang wanted to say something, but Ling Xiang shook her head, extinguished the wick, and exited the room.

Su Ximei listened to the door close and opened her eyes.

The moonlight outside the window sprinkled on the ground, which seemed to cast a light veil over the room.

Hazy but it made people's thoughts clearer, Su Ximei turned around and looked at the blackiron box at the head of the bed, and had another thought.

The weather was clear for several days, but the next day it began to drizzle.

A servant woman came to the courtyard at dawn to spread the word.

"Miss Seven, the eldest lord asked you to come over."

Su Ximei nodded and said with a smile: "I'll go with my mother here." ”

It was still raining outside, and it looked gray, and the servant woman who was carrying the message walked in front with an oil-paper umbrella and a lantern, and Ling Xiang followed behind with an umbrella and serving Miss Seven.

When she arrived at the main room in the middle courtyard, Ling Xiang took off Miss Seven's cloak and waited outside the door with the servant.

"Seven girls, did you go to the Lingwang Mansion yesterday?"

Su Ximei raised her feet and stepped in, and before she could reach the house, she heard Zheng's concerned inquiry.

"Yes, Mother." Su Ximei calmly met Zheng's eyes.

"Who gave you this guts!" A stern voice sounded, and Su De's face was calm, and his gaze fell coldly on her.

Su Ximei's expression was calm, and she stepped forward to salute Su De and Zheng, as if she hadn't heard his reprimand.

Zheng looked at her anxiously.

"Seven girls, how can you go to the Lingwang Mansion in private? You used to listen to the old man. She couldn't wait to say, "Why didn't you listen this time?" ”

Last time, she quietly put Zheng together, how could Zheng swallow this breath.

Su Xin was already arrogant, she lost her face in front of so many young ladies in the Lingwang Mansion yesterday, and she, the third sister, had to come back to complain about her mistakes.

In Su Mansion, the words of the eldest lord are the rules, and if you dare to go against the meaning of the eldest lord, you will dig your own grave and beg for good fruits to eat.

Zheng's came to watch a good show early in the morning, and by the way, he added fuel to the fire.

"The daughter did not disobey her father." Su Ximei's calm face was already full of grievances at this time, and two crystal tears hung on her eyelashes, looking so pitiful.

"Father, my daughter just misses her eldest sister, my eldest sister has been married for many years, and I think my father misses my eldest sister very much." Su Ximei said, raised her sleeve and wiped the corners of her eyes, she really looked like she was sick with longing.

Sure enough, Su De's expression was not as stern as before, although he was ruthless and unrighteous for the reputation of the Su family, but there was at least a trace of guilt in his heart, after all, the eldest sister was his first child and his eldest daughter.

"Then you can't leave the house without permission." Su De frowned and looked at her, but his tone was softer, "You want to go see Hui'er, you can arrange it in advance for your father." ”

The eldest sister was locked up in the firewood room, how could he, as the eldest lord of the Prime Minister's Mansion, not know?

He was just talking, and if she did, he would find some other excuse.

The corners of Su Ximei's mouth tugged, with a hint of imperceptible coldness. However, her eyes were full of tears, and her face was full of sadness, but she couldn't see half of the disrespect.

"The eldest sister has a deep friendship with her daughter, in the past, her mother took care of her daughter, after the death of her mother, the eldest sister took on the responsibility of taking care of her daughter, after the eldest sister got married, her daughter missed her very much, and yesterday Brother Xuan's full moon, father and mother were busy with the affairs of the second sister, and the daughter did not dare to disturb, so she advocated to go to the Lingwang Mansion without authorization, and asked her father to punish her."

These words were heartfelt, and after listening to what she said, Su De's eyes flickered slightly.

The word "mother-in-law" refers to his original wife Zhao.

At that time, he was only a doctor of the Eight Grades and Five Classics of the Hanlin Academy, and he had just accumulated a little family business, and the Zhao family was noble, and he was the eldest daughter of Zhao Guogong, the marquis of the First Rank. But the Zhao family did not look down on him, and since marrying him, he has carefully helped take care of his family business.

But—

He thought of something, and the expression on his face changed.

After a while, he waved his hand and sighed: "That's it, you are also worried about the eldest sister, you have this heart, and you are very happy to be a father." ”

Zheng on the side secretly gritted his teeth, but he didn't expect that this girl would convince the master in a few words, and thought that she could watch a good show.

I really underestimated her before!

Su Ximei's voice was choked.

"Father, my daughter is ashamed." She sobbed lowly, her face full of shame, "Since the eldest sister married into the Lingwang Mansion, she will send someone to send some hairpin jewelry or something every year, but this time when my daughter returned home, all those hairpin jewelry were gone, and the eldest sister's mind was finally let down by her daughter, and even the orchid green crested hairpin that her mother gave to her daughter could not be found." ”

Before Miss Seven was sent to Yizhuang, those hairpin jewelry were still there, but after coming back this time, the courtyard in the northwest wing was empty, and the shabby clothes from the past were thrown out, and even the head and face sent by the eldest sister and the child's mother were gone.

Before the eldest sister got married, although she didn't have a lot of money, she would still pick a few decent jewelry for Miss Seven every year, and later when the eldest sister got married, she would send Tong's mother back with some slightly more expensive jewelry.

Although Miss Seven is not welcomed in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she still has a few jade bracelets and hairpins that she can handle.

Zheng squinted hatefully, and the knuckles of the cuffs were white when he pinched the cuffs with one hand.

The position of "mother-in-law" should have been hers, but this dead girl called another woman as her mother-in-law in front of her.

So what is she?

What's more, that woman is a dead person, is it possible that she can still crawl out of the grave and compete with her for the position of the master mother?

Amusing!
