"Your father, like you, is a scourge, and my life has been ruined by your father and daughter."

Yu Shu met Aunt Cui's hateful eyes, a little inexplicable, but when she thought about it, she suddenly realized - it turned out that Aunt Cui didn't look down on Father Yu's poor talent at all, what she was thinking about was the second young master!

and then connected what Aunt Cui had said before and after, and Yu Shu guessed the truth of this "bad fate":

Aunt Cui admired Yin Shilang when she was young, and she wanted to be a maid in the room and be an aunt to the young master in the future, but her thoughts had already been seen by the young grandmother, so she lost her innocence with a little action.

Aunt Cui was taken advantage of by Yu's father, and she didn't dare to make a noise, who knew that Lu Dao would be secretly knotted once, but in the end she still pierced the window paper and let the master send it to others.

Yu's father took Aunt Cui back to his hometown in the south and gave birth to Yu Shu, a child who had no matchmaker.

"No wonder my mother has always disliked me." Yu Shu showed a wry smile, not only did he not like it, but he was simply disgusted.

Fortunately, she is not the original owner, otherwise she would not have died sadly if she knew the thoughts of her biological mother.

Aunt Cui turned her head and acquiesced in her words, she really didn't like this daughter, if she hadn't been pregnant with her back then, she could still continue to stay in the Yin family and stay in the capital, how could she live a hard life with Yu's father.

"Does my mother think that if you don't get pregnant with me, you can still stay in the Yin family."

was guessed by Yu Shu's idea, and Aunt Cui snorted coldly.

Yu Shu sighed, the woman in front of him. Not only stupid and pitiful, but also ridiculously stupid.

It seems that it is difficult for her to sober up without much effort.

"Didn't you think that if you continue to stay in the Yin family, you can only be a maid who serves people for the rest of your life?"

"It's better to be a maid than to be unsightly." Aunt Cui was full of resentment, "What is wrong with me compared to the prisoners in that cell." ”

"It's far from right, they sleep on hay mats, you sleep on soft beds, and they eat bran pickles. You eat fish and white rice noodles. They are frightened, and you are asking for trouble. ”

Yu Shu said, looked at Aunt Cui's dull face, and thought about it. Again:

"Last time, I went to Yin Shilang's mansion to look for you. The one I saw, Mrs. Yin. Do you think she's doing now? ”

Aunt Cui said in a sullen voice: "People are dignified Mrs. Squire, how can it be bad." ”

"Is my mother envious?"

Aunt Cui didn't answer, but the sour look said it all.

Yu Shu asked her again: "Then you have been an aunt to Master Ji San for all these years." How are you doing? ”

"What's good," Aunt Cui said a little aggrieved, "I'm a widow who entered the small door, and there are two of you children behind me, and I've been bullied." ”

"Then if it weren't for me and Xiao Xiu, you wouldn't be a widow, would it be better to enter the Ji family to be a child?"

Aunt Cui thought about it for a while this time, and pouted: "That's not going to be easy, those girls in the master's backyard are ghostly." ”

"Then in the Yin Shilang Mansion, there is only one Shilang Lady, and there are no other aunts?" Yu Shu asked with renewed effort.

"Of course there is," Aunt Cui spent a few days in the Shilang Mansion and inquired about some things.

Yu Shu smiled, bent one leg, and leaned in front of Aunt Cui:

"Master Ji's wife died early, you have been in the Ji family for all these years, and you don't even have a lady to govern you, and you are still suffocated and aggrieved. In the Yin Shilang Mansion, there is a lady who raises her eyebrows, and there are many aunts, if my mother did not follow my father back then, but stayed in his house, would it be better now? ”

Aunt Cui is elm brain, and she can't knock it out, but Yu Shu combed it out one by one, and she listened to it somewhat.

Yu Shu asked her, she also asked herself, there was really nothing like that, she stayed in the Yin family, liked the second young master, and became a person in the room, what will the future be like?

When she asked this, Aunt Cui was stunned.

After a long time, she lightly beat the spirit, came back to her senses, and looked at Yu Shu's smiling face in front of her, with a kind of dazed feeling like waking up from a dream.

"Has my mother figured it out?" Yu Shu held Aunt Cui's cold hand, "If you don't have a father, without me, will your life be better?" ”

"I, I" Aunt Cui avoided Yu Shu's gaze, her heart was inexplicably weak, and her mind was a mess, as if she understood, and she seemed to be more confused.

However, Yu Shu didn't ask any more, she held Aunt Cui's hand, bent down and sat at the foot of her bed, and said slowly:

"Mother doesn't like me and doesn't matter, it's okay for you to scold me, say I'm not filial, but you have to know, I am your daughter, the meat that fell from your body, we are mother and daughter, not enemies, and we can't go back to meet with cold eyebrows, after all, who can hurt whom? I came here today just to tell you that now that your daughter has the ability, our family of three does not need to send people under the fence to see people's faces and live. ”

"In a few days, I will move my mother's household registration from the Ji family, I got a big house in the north of the city, and it will be repaired immediately, and I will take you to live with you when I turn back, and there will be small repairs, when the time comes, you will be the wife of our Yu family, isn't it better than being an aunt and maid to others?"

After saying these words, looking at Aunt Cui's expression, there was no resentment at all, only thinking.

"Think about whether what I said today is right or not," Yu Shu stood up, "I'll go back first, and I'll come back to see you in two days." ”

As he spoke, he squeezed her warm hand again and let go.

Aunt Cui stared at Yu Shu's back and walked out of the room, as if something was blocked in her heart.

***

After Yu Shu left Aunt Cui's place, he did not go home, but went to the Wangji Building alone.

I said a few words of "heart-to-heart words" to Aunt Cui today, whether it moved her, Yu Shu didn't know how to say, but she herself missed her relatives again.

Her parents and younger brother in another world far away, she couldn't know if they were doing well or not, so she could only silently wish them safe in her heart. Not even a person to talk to.

At this time, she missed Xue Rui's company very much.

"Ugh."

Yu Shu sat on the terrace on the third floor, cross-legged, looking up at the star-studded night sky overhead from the wide open patio.

When she came to this world, she was originally a rootless person, because of Yu Xiaoxiu, because of Jingchen, because of Zhao Hui, and because of Xue Rui. Even because of Ji Xingxuan. Whether it's love or hate, love and hatred, with these bonds, she wants to live harder and more.

Reminiscences. She would feel like she was in a dream. Blessings and curses. Life and death, she can count others, but she can't count herself

It was late at night. When the wind rose, Xiaoqing carried a lantern, lightly opened the curtain outside the patio, and walked in.

Seeing Yu Shu lying on her back on the soft couch, I thought she was asleep, but as soon as I got closer, I found that she had her eyes open.

"Girl, it's not early, go back to your room and rest."

"Hmm."

Yu Shu sat up and rubbed his neck.

Xiaoqing stuck the lantern next to the railing and crouched down to put her on shoes.

The two went downstairs one after the other, and in the corridor on the second floor, they heard the backyard door ringing.

Yu Shu stood still, looked downstairs, and saw that at the end of the shadow wall, someone ran to open the door, and vaguely heard talking, and after a while, two black shadows came out.

Yu Shu thought it was Xue Rui who was back at first, so he approached the horizontal bar and asked Lu Xia:

"Is your son-in-law back?"

Gui Qi heard the question downstairs, so he raised his head and said, "The girl didn't sleep, it's someone sent by the eldest prince, so the little one will take him up." ”

Yu Shu wondered, what could it be at such a late hour?

Guiqi led people to the tea hall on the second floor, Xiaoqing took the lamp, Yu Shu sat on the chair, and when he saw someone coming in, he recognized it at a glance that it was the little guy next to Xue Rui, named Baode.

Baode saluted Yu Shu, stepped forward in three steps and two steps, took out a note from the collar of his shirt, and handed it to Yu Shu.

Yu Shu looked at the familiar font on it, when one line was written in detail, the year, month and day were clearly a person's birthday, and the other line only wrote one day-

June 11.

Her eyelids jumped, and she looked up and asked, "What else did my eldest brother tell you?" ”

Baode said: "Childe said, when the girl saw this note, she knew what to do." ”

Yu Shu frowned, of course she understood what Xue Rui meant, what was written on this note must be a dead person's eight characters, and it also stated the day of the person's death, so Xue Rui asked her to calculate why this person died.

Do the math, Xue Rui has been away from Kyoto for seven or eight days, saying that she went out of the city to investigate the case, but she didn't hear any movement about the case.

What could be a case so tricky that left him stranded?

Yu Shu had a bad feeling that Xue Rui was probably in trouble.

"Where is my eldest brother now?"

***

Pei county

That night, Xue Rui was sitting in a room on the top of the second floor of the restaurant, with several confessions on his hand, which were recorded by the suspects before and after the murder of the imperial historian Zhou Qi.

Zhou Qi received a secret order from the emperor half a month ago, and went to Liangguang to secretly investigate the sale of illicit salt, and the four guards accompanying him were not weak, and the prisoners were under their noses, and they must have been carefully arranged, and they knew Zhou Qi's whereabouts well.

This case is not difficult to solve, Xue Rui has even deduced which murderer is, but he has no clue about the instigator behind the scenes.

With his extraordinary intuition, he had a hunch that if this case was not handled properly, maybe even he would have to be planted in it.

Therefore, he did not startle the snake and alarm the prisoners, but only asked the local county government to close the restaurant, not allowing the news to spread, and then let the people he brought keep an eye on a few suspects, waiting for them to show their feet.

However, the other party was really calm, for a few days, there was no wind at all, Xue Rui didn't want to act rashly, so he could only spend it with them.

When it was almost dawn, Xue Rui felt a little sleepy, put down the pen, and was about to go to bed to lie down for a while, when he heard a sound in the corridor outside the door, and after a while, there was a knock on the door.

"Son, the little one is back."

Xue Rui heard that it was Baode's voice, so he closed his clothes and looked out of the door: "Come in." ”

Baode pushed the door in, Xue Rui was about to ask, but saw him turn sideways, give way, and a person walked out behind him, wearing a thin green shirt, carrying a small divination box on his shoulder, picking it up, smiling black and white-

It's not Yu Shu, who can it be. (To be continued......)
