Chapter 1: The Cellar Plays Dead
It was a cold and snowy winter, the north wind squeaked the bare branches, and the wind in a low-lying cellar was constantly beating against the cold and hard stones. 8
The cellar is not large, and there is only a narrow room under the stone staircase, the room is made of cold stones, and the door is made of cold and hard wooden pillars, and there is a fist-sized gap between each two wooden pillars, and people outside the door can clearly observe the situation inside.
There were two women standing outside the door at this moment, one of them supported the other woman who was obviously older, and her eyes glanced at the cellar that was motionless, and her back was curled into a ball, swallowing foam, and said cautiously: "Madam, why is she motionless, will she ...... He's dead? β
The older woman was dressed in a gorgeous silk dress, and her eyes narrowed when she heard this, and she said lightly: "It's okay to die, save me from sending dog food every once in a while." β
The young woman was dressed in a maid's suit, and her eyes were disgusted when she touched the surrounding environment, and she could only speak steadily after taking a breath, "But her grandfather is a dignified Chinese scholar and waiter, wouldn't it be ...... if he asked the lord for someone."
"What if he came to ask for someone, who in Kyoto doesn't know that the eldest lady of Rongfu is suffering from a serious disease, but she is fifteen years old but has a pale face and gray hair, and she can't look at people?" The woman who is called Mrs. is the side room of Rong Huatian, the servant of the current fourth rank of the ministry, I saw her sneer, and then said: "The scholar and the servant in the family are high and powerful, and the wives and concubines are rich in children, but I am afraid that I have long forgotten that his deceased concubine has a daughter." 8 Besides, even if he remembers that he has this granddaughter, he is afraid that it will be too late for him to get rid of the relationship in a hurry! β
"Even so, the young master ...... over there"
"This is not a problem, I have been raising the rabbit cub for a few years, if it is really a white-eyed wolf that is not well raised, I will have to twist his neck sooner or later!"
"Madam, the master also has to explain it. Although it is said that the lord has never been this daughter, but no matter how she says it, she is the daughter of the Rong Mansion, if the outside world knows that the lord ignores the concubine, he is only afraid of damaging his reputation, and it is not easy to look forward to a four-grade is not able to give it down. β
The Rong woman muttered, "You, open the lock and go in, if you don't die, you should spend an extra portion of the food for the dogs, and if you die, bury her here." β
"Huh?" The maid was a little hesitant, how unlucky it was to kill someone.
Lady Rong glared at her angrily, "Don't go yet!" β
The maid bit her silver teeth and opened the lock that had not been opened for so many years. But, it's strange to say that this lock hasn't been opened for a long time, and it should be rusty and difficult to open, but who knows that it will be opened as soon as the key is inserted. She exhaled in her heart, but she didn't dare to resist Madame's words, so she had to shrink her body and slowly approach the motionless body......
The fingertips approached the wings of the nose, and it was cold. "Ah, ma'am, she, she's out of breath!"
Lady Rong twisted her eyebrows, "Can you be careful?" β
The maid didn't want to be angry with the dead again, so she nodded violently, "Probe!" β
Lady Rong pursed her lips, thought about it and decided to go in and check it herself, but after walking two steps, she found that the curled body moved, and the maid screamed, "Ghost, ghostβ"
Mrs. Rong thought of something, she was furious, raised her slap and walked closer, "Okay, you dead girl dare to pretend to be dead to Mrs. Ben, see if I don't kill you cheap girl!" β
