Chapter Seventy-One: The Situation (Part II)

Zhang's mother promised loudly, and suddenly talked about the pearl brown rice soup, the sudden temptation, and the final retreat.

One out after another, one ring after another.

If her reply at that time was a little hesitant and resentful, would she have been able to drive out this large group of people in the courtyard immediately, leaving her alone!

She was guarding against Mrs. Tai and He Yan.

And just because she knew that He Yan forced the eldest lady to death, why didn't they guard against her!

Unprovoked in my mind, Mrs. Tai leaned on the chaise longue with a faint expression, holding a half-old book in her hand, with a pair of tortoiseshell glasses on the bridge of her nose

Xingzhao shuddered involuntarily, and the suffocating chills and despair seemed to wrap her, and she raised her hand slightly, only to find that she had no strength around her body at all.

Lianyu stepped forward, hugged Xingzhao from the side, lowered her voice, and whispered in a low voice: "It's good that you know in your heart, you can't say anything, you can't say anything." ”

Lian Rong looked at Lianyu, and then looked at Xingzhao with a blue face, crying with a handkerchief on her sleeve, full of confusion, and could only repeat a few words: "What's wrong, what's wrong"

Thinking of the eldest lady when she passed away, Xingzhao's sadness, Lianyu's calmness, and Huang's mother's strange injury, after all, her voice gradually became smaller, and in the end, only a whimpering cry remained.

"Grandmother wasn't afraid that I would know what was going to happen." Xingzhao grabbed Lianyu's arm and smiled bitterly, "This is a temptation. It's not a demonstration -- I'm like a trapped beast, vulnerable to a high-profile display of strength. Only by their mercy and their own compromise were allowed to survive. ”

It is impossible for the ultimate decision-maker and helmsman of the Lin'an Hou Mansion to allow an unstable factor to survive in their own camp, at least not with dignity.

Lianyu lowered her head and counted the green bricks in the flower hall. The heart is very chaotic, the death of the eldest lady is like the introduction of gunpowder, burning little by little, even the thin veil covering the ugliness has been lifted, and the estrangement and hatred between the father and the son are slowly expanding, and no one knows what will become of it in the end.

There was no light in the flower hall, it was dim. White silk and plain silk hanging everywhere fluttered everywhere.

The unspeakable silence of the room was shattered by a breathless voice.

"Four girls!"

Xingzhao's eyes lit up, and as soon as he looked up, he saw the lotus leaf running out of breath and opening the curtain and coming in.

"The mother-in-law guarding the second gate didn't allow me to go out, saying that the world was chaotic outside, and the house was also chaotic, and a ban was issued from above, and the little maids in the inner courtyard were not allowed to go out casually, and it was not okay to visit the door, not even to go to Zhuangzi to see their parents!"

The lotus leaf hand is clenched into a fist. "I secretly stayed there, and no one else was allowed to enter or leave except for a few mothers-in-law and stewards. I took a plate of jade cake and put it on, and the woman was relieved - in the morning, Mrs. Yao's mother in Mrs. Tai's room came to the concierge and said, 'The girls in the inner courtyard are absolutely not allowed to go out.' Correspondence must also be handed in and carefully examined before a reply can be made.' also asked her to 'watch the door well', and there was a reward for watching it. ”

Xingzhao's heart was cold. The lady will cut off her hands and feet, blind her eyes, and pierce her ears.

If you don't have any contact with the outside world, you can't communicate, you can't find out the truth, and you can't even protect yourself.

Mrs. Tai is forcing her to accept it with a smile, just like there is a coptis on the table for you to swallow, and you are not allowed to say bitterness!

Xingzhao laughed out loud and looked at Lianyu standing beside him sadly: "The intelligence of the He family is all used here. ”

Lianyu's heart suddenly sank.

"We're going to get out." Xingzhao's complexion gradually faded, and through the window lattice, he could see a boxy, dim sky, and remembered the words of the Empress Fang in his heart, and shook his head gently: "Hibernation? No, dormancy only makes others more rampant. I have lost my mother, and I can't afford to lose you anymore. ”

Today, Mrs. Tai can be pitied for a while because of her forbearance, so what about the future?

She couldn't bet on Mrs. Tai's infrequent softness, Mrs. Tai still had a trace of pity for her, if He Yan made a move, she couldn't imagine what the consequences would be.

"Go and invite the three girls to Huaishan Garden." Xingzhao instructed Lotus Heart, and Lotus Heart went as promised.

Xingzhao only then had time to take off the shoulders draped on his body, revealing the plain white jacket he was wearing, turned around and walked towards the warm pavilion, and at the same time turned sideways and told Lianyu and Lianrong: "You two have been with me for the past few days, especially Lianyu." ”

From Ying Yi's secret conversation with He Yan to finally witnessing the eldest lady drinking poison, except for Xingzhao, no one in Huaishan Yuan knew better than Lianyu.

A trace of remorse flashed in Xingzhao's heart, why did she tell Mrs. Tai the truth at that time, her thought almost put this gentle but resolute and brave woman in danger.

Lian Rong nodded stunned, and didn't care about being scared by the general, so she hurriedly walked out, saying that she was going to tell the small kitchen to stew ginseng and chicken soup to make up for Xingzhao.

Lianyu understood what Xingzhao meant, sighed softly, and stood beside the desk with her sleeves on her face as usual to polish the ink.

When Xingming came over, Xingzhao just finished copying a chapter of "Chinese", and only then did he raise his head after the last stroke of the word "policy" was written.

Xingming was wearing a moon-white Hangzhou silk Zou gauze jacket, only wearing a pair of lilac silver ear plugs, Fan Dai was not applied, and he personally came in with a pot of Junzi Orchid curtains, and when he saw Xingzhao's originally round face was so thin that he could faintly see the pointed chin, the original close-fitting jacket could still be drilled straight into it by the wind, and his eyes were red.

"The maid in the house doesn't know what to do if the windows are closed and the people are cold?" He took away the pen in Xingzhao's hand again, and endured crying and blamed: "Your body is not good, don't you know how to rest?" Still copying, want to go to the imperial examination to be the champion? ”

One sentence after another, although it was a reproachful tone, it made Xingzhao feel warm.

Xingzhao pursed his lips and smiled. According to the words, he closed the book and pouted at the gentleman Lannu: "How many pots of flowers and plants has the third sister sent here these days?" First is the green calyx. Then there is peony, and then there is this gentleman's orchid. What are you going to send next time? ”

"The green calyx is Ling Han who blooms alone, the peony is the gentleman in the flower, and the gentleman orchid lives in the valley without inferiority" Xingming said as he spoke, and tears came down: "Obviously, all the hydrangeas have exploded, and the hydrangeas are blooming.

Xingming cried so much that he couldn't cry, Xingzhao pursed his lips, and stepped forward with a handkerchief to wipe her tears. pursed her lips and smiled bitterly: "Third sister, don't cry, Grandma is getting better easily, don't come to recruit Grandma again." ”

As soon as Xingming heard this, he sniffled desperately, choked and cried, and wiped his face indiscriminately, after the eldest lady passed away, she was uncomfortable for a long time, not to mention that the eldest lady's housekeeper has always been a bowl of water. What is the example of her own daughter, she is what kind of example, and she said that her friendship with Xingzhao is sad for the eldest lady. is even more sad for Xingzhao.

Xingzhao shook Xingming's hand, with a little hesitation, but finally made up his mind. asked her slowly: "The maid in my room can't get out, so I want to ask if the girl in your house can still go out of the house?" ”

Xingming was stunned. He sobbed twice and shook his head: "No! Today was supposed to be Kim Mei's fake. She went to the second gate and turned back again. But the mother next to the mother seemed to be able to go out of the house, and when she went to ask Mrs. Tai for peace, Mrs. Tai was still saying, "I'm afraid that the maids around the little lady are out of proportion, and it's an eventful time, and I'm afraid that the servants of the He family will cause trouble outside, so I simply issued a ban." ’”

Xingzhao's heart sank, and no one around Xingming was allowed to go out, in this family, she only Xingming could be trusted.

The mother next to the second lady, can she command the move? Whether the second lady will help Mrs. Tai or will help her, the answer is not to be thought about.

Once she has a stir, will she drive out a room of girls in Huaishan Garden, or will she ask Queen Fang for help!

Xing Ming couldn't understand why Xing Zhao could ask this, so he lowered his head and asked in a caring whisper, "What's wrong with you?" What's missing? Let the mother-in-law of the priest go out and buy it right away, right? Powder? Glutinous rice dumplings? Or do you want to go out to the western suburbs to worship your aunt? Didn't you just come back from your ancestral grave? ”

The speculation finally came true, and he was forced to this point, but Xingzhao calmed down, shook his head, and diverted his words: "My chest is tight, and I feel strange, so I want to say a few words to others." ”

Xingming sighed, took the copper scissors and trimmed the pot of poppies placed on the kang, and chattered in his mouth, as if as long as Xingzhao had something to think about and something to say, he could forget the pain of his biological mother's death.

Xingzhao leaned on the cushion and put a warm felt blanket on his legs, receiving all the comfort and comfort unique to Xingming.

The second lady is now strictly controlled, it is not easy for Xingming to come out for a trip, and although the rumors in the mouths of the servants in the house do not dare to spread too many rumors, they can still faintly hear these sounds, the world is originally a hot stove fighting to burn, and no one burns the cold stove, as soon as the eldest lady passed away, Brother Jing did not come back, and people left tea and cool, leaving a little lady whose mother family was declining alone. The people who came to Xingzhao's side turned out to be full of stars, but now they are full of people.

Not long after Xingming came, a mother-in-law came from the East Cross Courtyard to urge her to go back.

Xingming was reluctant, and looked at Xingzhao apologetically, Xingzhao didn't care, and personally sent her to the door of Huaishan Garden.

After dinner, Xingzhao picked up the pen and continued to copy the book, but his mind was crackling with calculations.

Externally, the connection was lost, and internally, Mrs. Tai's coercion and temptation were used, and the preventive measures on all sides were very good.

She can only escape, she even feels sincerely disgusted and disgusted with the He family, what should she do if she wants to escape?

Malinger? Will the judge of the Tai Hospital send the news to the Fengyi Palace?

Recklessly? Even Mrs. Zhengfang could only pour a bowl of medicine down, and nothing came out.

Crying and begging?

Xingzhao sneered, she died once, her heart died again fifteen days ago, no matter how stupid and stupid she is, she will never be blind again!

There was silence inside, and suddenly I heard the immature voice of the little maid outside: "Mother Zhang is here!" (To be continued......)
