The old lady took it and took a sip, but she couldn't relieve the fire in her heart, sighed heavily and put the cup on the low coffee table, and said, "I really hurt that evil obstacle in vain!" ”

"Who would have thought that? The old lady is angry, and it is important to take care of her body. Aunt Chen persuaded on the side.

"If his father had found out, he would have strangled her to death, hey, I'm still soft-hearted." The old lady sighed again.

The sighs and hesitations all showed that the old lady cared about her granddaughter.

Indeed, Zhu Bi has always been her most valued granddaughter.

After all, it's a concubine.

But Zhu Bi disappointed her again and again, and now she is doing such an obscene and shameless thing.

Whether it was her intention or not, no one else would care about this.

Aunt Chen is the old lady's confidant, so she doesn't know the pain and infinite loss in her heart at the moment.

"Old lady, this is all providence, doesn't the old lady have a granddaughter?" Aunt Chen meant that she lost one and another seven girls.

The old lady sighed and said, "It's a pity that it's a concubine, and the biological mother is too lowly, so it's not a good life after all." ”

Aunt Chen comforted: "I don't think the seventh girl looks like a concubine at all, she looks like the granddaughter of the old lady, and it shows that the son of the family is interested in the master of Anting, and he may have a good life." ”

"I hope so." The old lady picked up the cup again and tasted the second cup of tea, "The tea is a good tea, but unfortunately it is cold, and it will not taste good." ”

The old lady was in a bad mood, and the fifth princess was not around, so everyone in the Lingmoss Courtyard was contemplating and holding their breath.

When Zhu Xuan and Mrs. Ding stepped into the door, they heard the old lady's sigh, and Zhu Bi's shouts of grievances came from time to time in the ancestral hall.

The wolf howl on the side of the ancestral hall is strange if you don't sigh when you hear it.

Mrs. Ding also sighed and said: "Old lady, I still can't bear it, Changle hasn't even understood what the old lady meant, and he is making a big deal of it there." If the prince knows, even if the old lady wants to protect her, I am afraid that it will be difficult. ”

A word reminded the old lady, and the old lady turned back to Aunt Chen and said, "Tell her to shut up!" If you speak again, don't live. ”

Sure enough, this trick was very effective, and after a while, the ancestral hall was quiet.

"Old lady, the sixth sister did this kind of thing, remembering her first offense, it is better to spare her." Zhu Xuan verified Zhu Bi's fornication from the side.

Mrs. Ding took Zhu Xuan's hand, secretly admired her for being completely black, and said with a smile in her mouth: "Yi'an, the mistake your sixth sister made this time is not something that the old lady can forgive." It's only right for your girl to take care of herself. Did the old lady hear about it? The son of the Ming family invited Yi'an to participate in the banquet of celebrities. ”

Finally there was something that made the old lady happy.

The old lady smiled rarely, and said, "It's rare, when?" ”

"The son of the Ming family sent a greeting sticker at noon, saying that it was the morning after tomorrow, and this time, Yi'an will also bring its own halo of celebrities." Mrs. Ding said with a smile.

Yi'an didn't know about this yet, and asked, "Please post it?" Why didn't I see it? ”

"It's delivered to your room, and you'll see it when you get back." Mrs. Ding smiled, and then turned to the old lady and said, "Old lady, don't worry, Yi'an's makeup will be wrapped around me the day after tomorrow, and my daughter-in-law will take care of it herself." ”

The old lady smiled and nodded.

Zhu Yu was very reluctant.

At the last banquet, Uncle Ming hinted that he would rather be a heroic concubine than a mediocre wife, and raised himself very high.

She would rather be a wife than a concubine.

Now I don't know what the intention of inviting her to play is, although I didn't say it verbally, but I have decided to write a letter of rejection in my heart.

Just thinking about it, the old lady's face suddenly sank again, and said, "How do you think about Changle's matter?" ”

"Old lady, the rules are very clear, but after all, the pavilion master is the granddaughter of the old lady, and it is human nature to be reluctant, so it is better to close it first, first, to see if she has repentance, second, to slowly check the bottom of the small forest, and third, to avoid the limelight, which is good for the pavilion owner."

The old lady nodded, looked at the sky outside, the sky was gradually darkening, a layer of dark clouds hung over the Pei Wang's Mansion, and another heavy rain was coming.

When it was dark, the courtyard was quiet and only the croaking of frogs and insects could be heard.

In the middle of the night, when I couldn't see my fingers, two maidservants walked towards the ancestral hall with a palace lamp.

Zhu Bi, who had just fallen asleep on the mat, suddenly woke up, lying on the floor and listening to the footsteps slowly approaching, his eyes full of infinite fear.

She stared at the door in fear, watching as the motionless door slowly creaked open......

Zhu Bi's mood at the moment was like the candlelight blown away by the wind in the ancestral hall, beating strong and weak.

Outside, a flash of light suddenly crossed the boundless night, illuminating the faces of the two people who pushed the door in, like the black and white impermanence of the underworld was about to ask for their lives.

Zhu Bi trembled when he saw his body, "You, who are you-"

Her words trembled with fear in her eyes.

"The maidservant girl was ordered by Mrs. Guo to send the girl on the road." One of the slaves replied in a loud voice.

Then there was another thunderclap, boom, and another flash of light flashed across the sky, illuminating the small bottle of eagle crane with long neck in the hand of the other handservant, like lightning in the dark night.

"You say nothing! My mother was reluctant to let me die. You are deliberately spreading false information. Zhu Bi subconsciously took a few steps back.

How could her mother call her dead, no way, something must have gone wrong.

"Madame said, family ugliness should not be publicized, you can only spare Madame if you apologize with death." The two maidservants closed the door of the ancestral hall and pressed closer.

Zhu Bi was so frightened that she got up and wanted to escape from the corner gate behind, but one of them grabbed her by the arm and pulled her to the ground at once, the strength was so great that Zhu Bi was taken aback, obviously the maid had skills, her mother had never seen these two people around, and she had no skills, she suddenly came to her senses, and said: "You are not mother's slaves at all, who sent you-"

"Mrs. Guo said that you have lost all your face, you can only give you up, you are afraid of death, we will give you a ride, and when you say that you commit suicide in fear of sin, you will believe it." One of the handmaidens snorted coldly.

"You say that my mother would never do such a thing, you dare to commit it!"

The two maidservants looked at each other, and one of them sneered: "Don't talk nonsense, just kill her!" ”

Zhu Bi was startled, and was about to call for help, but the other eye was quick, reached forward and pinched her throat, her mouth was open, but she couldn't make a sound, she was so anxious that her legs screamed and kicked, and her hands were rowed.

At this time, the maidservant girl behind grabbed her hands, both of them had great strength, Zhu Bi did not have the slightest power to resist, and was subdued in an instant.

In a panic, Zhu Bi looked at the maidservant in front of him, and there was a fierce look in his eyes.

Her eyes were popping out as she watched the vial pour into her stomach......

In the night, the lightning bolt slowly stabbed into Zhu Bi's heart like a sword of revenge......

"Madame! It's raining, so let's go back and come back tomorrow morning to see the pavilion owner. The voice outside the door was getting closer and closer, like a dawn, slowly rising, but Zhu Bi could only listen to the will of heaven.

"No, I always can't sleep well, I want to come and have a look."

The door was pushed open, and Mrs. Guo was surprised to see that her Changle had a red mark on her neck, lying on the ground and vomiting.

"Changle, what's wrong with you?" Mrs. Guo stepped forward and hugged her.

Zhu Biwa cried out and complained: "Mother, why did you come, Changle almost died, and those two people fled from behind." ”

"Ah, someone is going to kill Changle?" Mrs. Guo held Zhu Bi's face and asked with palpitations.

Zhu Bi hid in Mrs. Guo's arms, and Aunt Chen was also shocked here, Mrs. Guo was right, she didn't worry about coming over and taking a look, otherwise the owner of Changle Pavilion would die.

"Mother, those people want to kill me, and they say that they are your orders, and they want to fake my suicide, saying that I committed suicide in fear of crime, and no one will hold me accountable, they are holding poison, and my daughter will almost not see her mother." As he spoke, he whimpered and cried.

Mrs. Guo was also taken aback, and said angrily: "Who is so bold? ”

Aunt Chen was very sober here, and said, "Pavilion master, can you see what those two people look like?" ”

Zhu Bi nodded and said: "They are very fierce, they look like they want to kill me, they say that they are my mother's maidservants, but they have never seen them, and their accents don't look like locals, but like people from Dongwu Kingdom." ”

Soochow?

Mrs. Guo was stunned, how could she have anything to do with Dongwu, and who did Changle offend?

No, or rather, who did she offend.

"Madam, could this be a spy sent by the enemy country to deliberately sow discord between our country and Soochow?" Aunt Chen reminded.

There is such a possibility, and I can't take care of these for the time being, and Changle's safety is the most important thing.

The rain outside was very heavy, lightning and thunder, and the only one candle lit in the ancestral hall was extinguished at this moment, leaving only the two palace lamps of Aunt Chen flickering there.

Mrs. Guo wanted to take Zhu Bi back to Rongjiao Courtyard, but Mrs. Chen obstructed: "Madame, no, the old lady let the pavilion owner think about it here, it is already tolerant, and without the permission of the old lady, bringing the pavilion owner back will harm the pavilion owner." ”

Mrs. Guo also wept and said, "Then what should I do, I can't just watch Changle die here." ”

"Madam, let's send two more people over to protect the safety of the pavilion master, so that the old lady won't say anything." Aunt Chen said.

As soon as Zhu Bi heard this, Mrs. Guo was about to leave, she couldn't help but turn pale, and begged: "Mother don't leave me, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that they will find me again, I'm afraid that I will die, and I won't see my mother again." ”

"My Changle, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, my mother will send two girls to accompany you, my mother can't be here, your grandmother has seen it, it's even more unfavorable to you, you be strong, don't be afraid." Mrs. Guo wept and comforted.

"Mother, those two can do martial arts, Mother, they will strangle me." Zhu Bi didn't care, only grabbed his mother's arms, and refused to let go.

Mrs. Guo was a little embarrassed, and kept whispering comforting to her back.

Aunt Chen persuaded: "Pavilion master, let go quickly, Madame leaves, the pavilion master can live, Madame will send two more people to protect the safety of the pavilion master, this time those two will never dare to come again." As he spoke, he tore Zhu Bi's hand away.

Mrs. Guo's heart was sad, and she didn't dare to be too vocal in the middle of the night.

After all, the Lingmoss Courtyard where the old lady stayed was very close to here, and it was a big deal to wake up the old lady.

She got up and said to the maidservants on the left and right: "Tonight, you will accompany the master of the Changle Pavilion, remember, you must not leave the pavilion master for half a step, otherwise you are the only one who asks." ”

Although Zhu Bi was accompanied by two maidservants, he still had nightmares from time to time and was suspicious.

He did not settle down all night, until he fell asleep at dawn the next day.

That night, another astonishing secret happened that disrupted Mrs. Guo's plans.

Before Mrs. Guo went to visit Zhu Bi in the ancestral hall, she had already issued an order to send a person with extraordinary skills, Xiao Yu, to the firewood room in the back to kill the tied up Xiao Linzi.

Xiao Linzi is no longer of any use to Mrs. Guo, but has become evidence of Changle's adultery, and only by destroying the evidence can people slowly forget about it.

The old lady will turn a blind eye.

Who knows, that Xiaoyu didn't come back overnight, and Mrs. Guo was in a worried mood and waited for news.

Mrs. Chen comforted Mrs. Chen and said that Xiaoyu was a person with extremely high martial arts skills and would not miss, but Mrs. Guo was still a little suspicious, so she went to the old lady's house to ask for peace, but Xiaoyu had not come to return to her life.

Mrs. Guo was suspicious in her heart, so that she was a little out of shape in front of the old lady, and the old lady was very dissatisfied, and said, "Last night, did you go to the ancestral hall to see Changle?" ”

Mrs. Guo said worriedly: "Old lady, last night someone dared to pretend to be in my name and want to kill Changle, old lady, you must be in charge, if I hadn't arrived in time, Changle wouldn't have seen the old lady today." ”

The old lady's face sank and said, "Who is so bold and dares to go to the ancestral hall to harm people?" ”

"Old lady, what Madame said is true, if we hadn't arrived in time, Lord Letting would have died." Aunt Chen echoed on the side.

Mrs. Ding said with a smile: "The old lady hasn't executed Changle yet, but it's just Guan Ancestral Hall, why should Mrs. Guo make something out of nothing?" Who in this mansion doesn't know that the lord of Le Ting is the princess's daughter, who dares to bully her like bullying the seventh girl? ”

Mrs. Guo stared at her with hatred in her heart: Don't be complacent too early, wait for Changle to be rescued, and I will take good care of you.

Just thinking about it, the mother-in-law who was in charge outside hurriedly ran in and said, "There is a dead person in the old lady's firewood room!" ”

Mrs. Guo got up from the couch with a hint of victory in her eyes, and said, "Who died?" ”

Before the old lady could speak, she was interrupted by Mrs. Guo, looking back at her gaffe, and becoming more and more disgusted.

"It's a maidservant, I don't know it's from that courtyard, the maidservant doesn't dare to make a loud noise, so I'll report to the ladies first."

Mrs. Guo almost fainted, how could it be a maidservant, could it be Xiaoyu?

With a frightened look on her face, she asked, "Are there any other casualties?" ”

"Madam, there is only one maid in the firewood room who died, come and ask the old lady to show me what to do."

Mrs. Ding showed a faint smile on her face, and helped the old lady and said, "Do you want the old lady to go over and have a look?" ”

The old lady said, "Which yard did the dead person belong to?" ”

The housekeeper shook her head and said, "The maidservant looks very raw, unlike the one in our house." ”

"That's weird." Madame Ding thought for a moment and suddenly realized, "Could it be an assassin?" ”

The old lady frowned: "The dead person is unlucky enough, Mrs. Guo, you go and check whether it is suicide or homicide, if someone in our house commits suicide, throw it to her Lao Ziniang, it is someone outside, and hand over the body to the government." (To be continued.) )
