Chapter 118, Death Without Repentance

The brothers talked for a while. Thinking that Bai Mei was kicked a lot just now, she was a little relieved, in case she died, the clues would be all broken, and she went to see it again.

Afraid of the rumors, Bai Mei has been moved to the cellar by Xie Chengzhong. Mingche and Mingjing went down to the cellar, and a haystack was placed in one corner, and Baimei lay on it weakly, covered with an old quilt, so that she would not freeze to death.

Seeing Mingche come in, Baimei ****, tears flowed down, her face was full of sadness, and she no longer saw the resentment just now, she wanted to struggle to pull Mingche's robe, but she had no strength, and looked at Mingche with a few low sobs.

"Does the general know? Everything the slave does is for you. On the day of Miss's wedding, the first person who saw the general was a slave maid, and the first person to fall in love with the general was also a slave maid, not a young lady. The slave knows that her status is low, and she only hopes that one day she can share a bowl of thin porridge from the young lady to make your room, but everyone praises the gentle and kind grandmother, but she can't tolerate anyone. ”

Mingche looked at this woman who had been with him for several years with mixed feelings. A woman whose deceased wife treats her extremely well can't tell whether she loves or hates. After being silent for a while, he said: "Actually, the young grandmother never asked me to spoil her, because I didn't want others. Who do you have to blame her? How did she treat you with half a cent? ”

Bai Mei shook her head, her eyes full of resentment: "Everyone knows that she has never treated me lightly, but she obviously knows that I like you, why does she want to marry me off, I serve her so wholeheartedly, and she can't even be your roommate?" I waited and waited, waited for her to be gracious, and waited for you to take care of me, but I waited until I was twenty-four years old to become your concubine. ”

Mingjing sneered: "Could it be that the sister-in-law is kind to you just to let you rob her husband?" She has selected so many good people for you, is it because you yourself put the wife you are marrying in the Ming media and you don't want to be a concubine, and you still have the face to blame her for mistaking your youth? Didn't she leave a last word for you to get your wish in the end? She asked you to take care of Shu'er, how did you treat Shu'er? What face to blame others? ”

Bai Mei didn't respond to his words, but looked at Ming Che pitifully: "General, no matter how bad I am, I have served you wholeheartedly all these years, haven't you ever been moved?" If I just say a few outrageous words out of the ordinary, will the general beat me to death? General Mingjian, I have been by the general's side for the past few years, how do I know what happened in the house? How do you know what the nurse will do to Shu'er? The slave is really wronged, beg the general for mercy! If the general doesn't believe it, please send the slave back to Xie Mansion, I will definitely live up to the trust of the eldest young grandmother and the general, and take care of Shu'er wholeheartedly from now on! ”

What a cheeky woman! Without waiting for Mingche to get angry, Mingjing kicked her hard and scolded: "You woman, you are really shameless!" My eldest brother and I still have good thoughts about you, so we came to take a look. You don't repent, and you still say that you are so pitiful! You quickly recruit who is the accomplice, or even if the eldest brother doesn't do it, I will let you die without a place to bury! ”

Bai Mei closed her eyes, curled up in a ball and shrunk in the corner of the wall without saying a word, looking at her with disgust: "Give you a night of time to think, and think about what you and your accomplices have done!" If you don't tell the truth tomorrow morning, I may not let you live or die! ”

After speaking, He Mingjing stepped on the wooden ladder and walked out of the cellar, because there were not too many people in the cellar, Xie Chengzhong was waiting for them on it, and when he saw them coming out, he asked carefully, "Master, what are your orders?" ”

Mingche nodded: "Let people watch her, lest she do anything bad to me again!" Especially pay attention at night, she was kicked by me a lot, be careful not to let her die so soon, if it is really cold, put a charcoal basin, I still have important things to ask her. I'll go back to the general's mansion later, and the third prince will live here at night, and I'll discuss with him in time if there's anything to do. ”

Xie Chengzhong responded one by one. Mingjing stayed, and Mingche went back to his home. When they arrived at the General's Mansion, everyone was surprised to see that Aunt Bai had not returned, and Mingche sent someone to summon Mama Zheng, the steward of the inner courtyard, and said that she had something to explain.

Mama Zheng also heard that Bai Mei did not come back together, and came to the main hall in disbelief, and said slowly: "Today, Aunt Bai and I went to Xishan to send the son Guanyin Temple, and after reading it, the host said that it was a male fetus, and said that it was difficult for me to have an heir, and the child was not easy to survive at all, especially in the first few years of the General's Mansion, which had a great impact on the fetus, if she really wanted to give birth safely, Aunt Bai would stay away from the General's Mansion from now on, and live in another rented place until the child was born, and said that everyone in the General's Mansion was not allowed to go to disturb, Even I can't visit her often, and find another blessed person to serve her, lest I run into conflicts. ”

Mama Zheng said "ah", it took a long time to react, and she was extremely unwilling, who didn't know that the general was not young, but he didn't have a son, if Aunt Bai was pregnant with a male fetus, the status of the child after birth would definitely be different, if she could go to serve, she would not be treated differently?

Remembering that he didn't see Bai Mei, he hurriedly asked, "What about Aunt Bai?" Is she not going back to her home? ”

Mingche was still expressionless: "I'm afraid of accidents." I borrowed a friend's Zhuangzi outside the city, and let Aunt Bai live directly when I came out of the temple, and now Steward Xie has there to take care of it, and the Zhuangzi is quiet and neat, and it is best to raise a baby. ”

Mama Zheng said unwillingly: "But it's all served by people I don't know, can Aunt Bai get used to it?" According to the old slave's view, it may be better to choose one or two honest and useful people from the old people in the house who are well aware of the habits of the aunt, and then choose a blessed person from the outside to serve. The old slave has a humble opinion, and asks the general to decide! ”

Ming Che was expressionless, and said lightly: "I asked the host about this, she said that except for Aunt Bai's personal girl Yinhong, no one in the General's Mansion has to follow, Aunt Bai herself proposed to let Granny Lu from the County Bo Mansion accompany her, I have already sent someone to pick her up, I will come to Jinyang in the near future, you just take care of the inner courtyard, and you don't have to worry about the rest of the things." You go down and tell Yinhong, let her pack up Aunt Bai's usual clothes and supplies, and send her over in half an hour, there are all kinds of things there, just the usual things. ”

Mama Zheng lost the opportunity to serve and flatter Baimei, although she was extremely unwilling, she couldn't. I had to step back and tell Yinhong to prepare.

Yinhong has always been Bai Mei's henchman, usually relying on Bai Mei's support, in the house to be windy and rainy, I heard that she is the only one in the entire mansion who is qualified to serve, it is very proud. Thinking that Aunt Bai's status is not what it used to be, and she will definitely follow suit, she packed up a little bit of her and Bai Mei's common things, and waited for Mingche to send her over.

Half an hour later, Mama Zheng came to urge her to leave, saying that the general had arranged for someone to send her, and now she was waiting outside the door. Let her go quickly, preferably before dark.

Yinhong happily asked the little girl to take the burden and send her to the car, Mama Zheng looked at the silver-red, yellow-yellow hair and freckles on her face with envy, and couldn't figure out how this colorless girl could be so trusted by Aunt Bai and valued by the general. After walking a few steps, he finally unwillingly pulled Yinhong, and said with some embarrassment: "The old slave has been serving Aunt Bai for the past few years, she is not used to the old slave, can the girl talk to Aunt Bai after she passes, and the old slave will also pass?" ”

Of course, Yinhong knew her thoughts, and secretly sneered at her for being old, thick-skinned and stingy, wanting to let herself intercede, and not being willing to give away things, and not wanting to compete with herself for the master's favor after the past, she was not so stupid.

smiled and said, "What's the problem, I wish my grandmother and I could be a companion, but it's her business whether my aunt wants to or not!" ”

Mama Zheng was secretly happy and thanked her repeatedly. Coming to the gate, two expressionless guards were waiting, one leading the horse, the other standing next to the carriage, Yinhong saw their cold faces, a little scared, and hurriedly boarded the car, Mama Zheng wanted to step forward and say a few words, the carriage had already left.

After a while, the carriage went out of the city, the speed was getting faster and faster, Yinhong was torn tightly to the cloth belt used to stabilize the roof of the car, but she didn't dare to say anything to stop it, I don't know how long it had been driving, it was already dark outside, the car had not slowed down, she was already bumped and couldn't stand it, and couldn't help but say: "Stop!" ”

The car finally stopped, and the guard who drove the car asked impatiently, "What's the matter?" ”

Silver-red lifted the curtain and saw that it was pitch black outside. A dim crescent moon, a few cold stars twinkled and flashed, the surrounding wilderness was uninhabited, and I could hardly hear the barking of dogs, and I was a little frightened, and said timidly: "When will it arrive?" Didn't you say you had to get to Zhuangzi before dark? I also have to serve Aunt Bai. ”

The other party's voice still didn't have half emotion, and said coldly: "What's the hurry? When it arrives, it will naturally call you! Yinhong didn't dare to say anything more, and let the carriage continue to gallop.

After another hour or so, the carriage finally stopped, and suddenly there was a barking of dogs, and Yinhong had already been tossed upside down, and she took a breath, and just leaned against the wall of the carriage to rest for a while, and the outside impatiently urged her.

Yinhong struggled to get out of the car, but she almost couldn't stand, looked around slightly, and suddenly wondered, what kind of Zhuangzi is this, an old house is almost the same, although you can't see anything clearly at night, but the old wooden door and low wall, how can it not look like the Zhuangzi of a rich and noble family, the general will not find such a place for his aunt to raise a baby, right?

The door creaked open, and a tall and thin man came out with a lantern, nodded to the two guards, looked at Yinhong scrutinically, and quickly said in disappointment, "Such goods? ”

One of the guards said dissatisfiedly, "What's wrong with this kind of goods? Isn't it good to give it upside down? Here, this is ten taels of silver, the general ordered to sell far away, it is better to sell it to the south, and then let her come back, if someone finds her here, she will not spare you! ”

The tall and thin man took the silver and answered without repeating it, grabbed the silver red sleeve and pulled it in, the silver was so frightened that his voice changed, and he asked what was going on with a crying voice.

One of the guards said coldly: "The general ordered, saying that the unborn little boy is the life of fire, you are the life of water, it will hinder him, let you sell you as far as possible, you are allowed to take your baggage, go quickly!" ”

After speaking, he took out a coarse cloth bag from the carriage and stuffed it to Yinhong, one jumped into the carriage, the other turned over and got on the horse, and walked away without looking back, leaving Yinhong who was paralyzed on the ground.

On the 21st, I went home late and missed the update, so I must make it up today!
