When Ling'er trotted to the outside of Mrs. Jiang's courtyard, Osmanthus was standing at the gate of the courtyard talking to the old lady Zhong. Ling'er couldn't get too close, so she could only hide from behind the tree and watch from afar.

Mrs. Zhong couldn't see any change in her expression, she turned back to the courtyard and said a few words, and after a while, a sturdy middle-aged servant woman came out and left in a hurry, seeing that the direction she went should be her own courtyard, most likely to verify the news.

Mrs. Zhong said a few more words to Osmanthus and then turned around and entered the courtyard, Osmanthus quickly glanced over here and followed in.

Although Ling'er had only been to the old lady's courtyard once, she had already figured out the situation in the old lady's courtyard after entering the house for a few months. There are five subordinates in the old lady's courtyard, in addition to the old lady Zhong who guards the door, there are four middle-aged servants in the courtyard.

In addition to serving tea, water, laundry, cooking, and serving the old lady, these servants also had to chop wood and carry water, and cook rice and vegetables.

Although the old lady was very harsh on these servants, for some reason these servants were quite heartfelt to her, so that Ling'er had spent a lot of time to buy one of them but never succeeded.

Even if you can't buy it, you have to find other ways to get in, it is said that there is a dog hole behind the flower bed in the northwest corner of the yard to get into, Ling'er avoided pedestrians and turned to the northwest corner of the yard, turned over the grass and looked for a while, and sure enough, he found the dog hole.

It's a pity that the dog hole is a little small, and her current size may not be passable, and I don't know what the situation is in the courtyard, if she gets caught in it, it will be a shame.

She looked around and saw a large tree beside her. Its branches stretched over the courtyard wall, and it was thick enough to bear her weight.

Thereupon. Ling'er pulled up the corners of her skirt and tied a knot, and went up the tree with a few quick strokes, and she could see everything in the courtyard clearly by sitting on the branches. A servant woman was washing clothes by the well under the big tree, and two servant women were scooping rice by the kitchen opposite, and then another one went out, as long as these three were solved, there would be Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Zhong left in the courtyard.

All three were in the courtyard. It's not the same place, and it's a little difficult to solve the problem that they haven't spoken out. Ling'er thought about it for a while, and slid down the tree to pick up a lot of small stones. It's been a long time since I've practiced, and I don't know if I can make it.

She stared at the maid who was washing the laundry below and was about to start, but there was a knock on the door at the gate of the courtyard, and several servant women stopped and turned their heads to look.

"Open the door. Aunt Chung. The slave is back, open the door quickly. ”

Several servant women glanced at each other, and they all stood up and were about to open the door, when Mrs. Zhong came out of the upper room: "I'll open it." ”

Several servant women went back to do their own work, and Mrs. Zhong opened the courtyard door, and sure enough, it was the servant woman who went out before, and Mrs. Zhong asked, "How is it?" Any news? ”

The servant woman flashed into the courtyard: "Auntie, there is news." Several doctors came to Miss Xiaobai's yard, and Mrs. also passed. The slave maid followed the lady into the lady's boudoir, and saw the lady lying motionless on the bed through the tent, and heard the doctor say that she was bleeding from all her seven orifices, and most of them were hopeless, and the young grandmother was crying very sadly by the bed. ”

Mrs. Zhong sneered: "Hmph, only her kind of person who can't get on the stage will get mixed with that wild girl." ”

Osmanthus came out from under the eaves: "Granny Zhong, the slave family is not wrong, right?" When will you give the slave what you promised? ”

Mrs. Zhong narrowed her eyes slightly, and said lightly: "Wait, the old slave will go and ask the old lady." ”

Mrs. Zhong walked to the upper room, and Osmanthus stood in the courtyard and watched, but she didn't notice that the servants who had worked before had stood up and approached her. When Osmanthus found out that it was too late, several servant women suddenly pressed her to the ground, pulled a headscarf and stuffed it into her mouth, and some servant women tied her with ropes.

After a few breaths, the osmanthus didn't have time to scream, and was gagged and tied up and thrown in the middle of the yard. Osmanthus was frightened and whimpered and screamed as she struggled hard.

"Hmph, just because you're a little slut, you want to take a thousand taels of silver from me? Think beautifully! "This voice is clear and bright, isn't it Old Lady Jiang?

I saw her step by step from the eaves of the house, looking at her steady steps, neatly dressed and rich, how could she have a half-sick and messy image?

She walked a few steps away from the osmanthus and stood still, several servants hurriedly lifted the chair out and put it behind her, and the old lady Jiang sat down comfortably and exhaled softly: "Alas, the old woman can finally relax!" ”

Mrs. Zhong echoed: "Old lady, in fact, you should have made a move a long time ago, just such a yellow-haired girl, who is your opponent?" You pity her and count it as your half granddaughter, but she is pressing us step by step to make us unable to live in peace, so it's no wonder we are ruthless. ”

Mrs. Jiang sneered: "I wanted to let her go, but she came to the door by herself." Mrs. Jiang paused, and asked a little uneasy: "Sister, are you sure that girl is dead?" Don't jump out like last time......"

"Sister, don't worry, the doctor said that she was bleeding, if she can still come back to life, it will be hell!"

Old Madam Jiang nodded: "Okay, it's best to see her corpse with your own eyes." ”

"This ...... Sister, there are a lot of people in that yard, and it's inconvenient now, so when there are fewer people later, the sister will go there in person. ”

Old Lady Jiang nodded: "That's fine." ”

Mrs. Zhong looked at the osmanthus on the ground: "Sister, what should I do with this little slut?" ”

Mrs. Jiang glanced at her lightly: "This slut dares to negotiate terms with the old woman, and dares to poison the master, this kind of person is also a scourge to stay, poison her to death and throw her to the mass grave." ”

Osmanthus was so shocked that her face turned white, and she struggled desperately to writhe but to no avail. Several servant women came up with expressionless faces, carried her to the well like a broken sack, and Mrs. Zhong took out a small porcelain bottle from her arms and handed it to one of the servants: "Pour it on her." ”

The servant woman took the porcelain vase, and the other people pressed her hard, pried her mouth open with a hairpin, and saw that the venom had reached her mouth, and the osmanthus pupils narrowed and almost despaired.

There were a few soft sounds, the porcelain vase fell to the ground, and the servants jumped to their feet in pain, looking around in horror.

Old Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Zhong were also startled, and looked around nervously: "Who?" Who's playing tricks? Come out for me! ”

Ling'er regretted that she didn't hit the key point when she popped out a few stones, and sure enough, she became rusty after not practicing for a long time, but these servants had to be put down first.

She broke a thick stick from the tree and simply removed the branches and leaves to use as a weapon. The noise she made caught the attention of the people in the courtyard. Everyone looked up and was startled when they saw her face clearly, especially Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Zhong, who were so frightened that their faces turned white.

"You...... Are you a human or a ghost? (To be continued......)
