The more Yao Ruoshui thought about it, the more frightened he became, his throat was itchy, he coughed lowly, and the original excitement on his face disappeared without a trace in an instant, and the cuckoo was about to blow out the candles in the house, when he saw that Yao Ruoshui was a little strange, he immediately walked over quietly, and saw that she was struggling, as if she was out of breath, and finally a little panicked, and hurriedly dropped the lantern in her hand, and asked anxiously: "Madam?" What happened to you? ”

Yao Ruoshui's eyes widened, pointing at her who hadn't said a word for a long time, her hand tightly grasped the corner of Du Juan's clothes, her expression was full of hideousness, her mouth was wide open, and she spit out a few words silently, Du Juan was frightened by her current appearance, and said anxiously: "I'll call the doctor immediately, madam, you are waiting here." ”

wanted to wipe away Yao Ruoshui's hand pulling her, but unfortunately Yao Ruoshui's hand was so strong that the cuckoo didn't move for a long time, so she had to cry: "Madam, if you let go, the slave maid will immediately ask for a doctor for you." Du Juan was really a little panicked in her heart, if something happened to Yao Ruoshui, she would not end well as a slave at that time, she was in a hurry, she had strength all over her body, and pushed vigorously, Yao Ruoshui was pushed back to the couch by her, muttering two words in her throat, Du Juan was in a daze, how could she take care of so much, and ran out in a hurry.

Yao Ruoshui looked at the girl who ran away, she only had hatred in her heart, her eyes stared at the direction of the cuckoo's departure, her heart was full of unwillingness, her body trembled, and she couldn't support it, her hand hung down on the quilt, and there was no sound in the room.

The cuckoo ran to the door, didn't hear any movement inside, she was a little panicked, the whole yard was quiet, she suddenly felt scared, Yao Ruoshui also fell in the house with a lantern that she didn't have time to take, and the light in the room flashed, shining on the cuckoo's heart in this dark night.

She pursed her lips, gritted her teeth and walked back, and whispered in her mouth: "It's okay, it's okay, I'll take the lantern and ask the doctor to come over, and then it'll be fine." ”

Quietly leaned into the house, and when he saw Yao Ruoshui's hideous appearance when he died, he was so frightened that the cuckoo fell straight back, and a scream sounded in the silent courtyard, "Ah......" The night watchman in the house was suddenly alarmed.

The cuckoo didn't care about any lanterns at this time, and ran out in the general style, but after a while, she returned to the third aunt's yard, and the third aunt saw her coming back in a panic, afraid of being discovered, so she immediately dragged her into the house and scolded: "Cuckoo, what's the matter with you?" Asked you to run an errand for so long to come back? What do you think? What is Yao Ruoshui's reaction? ”

The cuckoo's whole face was white, there was no blood on his lips, and there was no god in his eyes, as if he was frightened by something, the third aunt gently pushed her a little, and she came back to her senses, grabbed the third aunt's hand and cried: "Auntie, aunt, Mrs. is dead, Mrs. is dead, what should we do?" ”

The third aunt was so startled that she took a few steps back, heard the noise outside, quickly closed the door, and hurriedly grabbed the cuckoo and asked, "What's wrong?" I'm not telling you to tell her the news, you damn girl, have you done anything else? ”

The cuckoo shook his head in panic, "No, the slave didn't, the slave didn't do anything...... "When she got to the back, she just lowered her head and broke her thoughts, seeing that she was so useless, the third aunt threw her away, and whispered to the maid outside: "Go and invite the fifth lady over." ”

The cuckoo in the house just sat on the ground, the whole person lost her former demeanor, and the third aunt was also a little panicked, seeing Su Dongxuan coming, the whole person immediately had a backbone, and asked people to take the cuckoo down, and she took her daughter's hand and cried: "Xuan'er, my aunt did something wrong, what can I do now?" Even if your father had gotten the news, your grandmother wouldn't have let me go. ”

The third aunt was distracted, Su Dongxuan didn't know what to say, she had been persuaded to do it before, but now there was only one way to go, and she held the third aunt's hand tightly and said: "Auntie, don't worry, it'll be fine, Daddy, I'll go and say, you put a hundred hearts, with Xuan'er, you won't lose your life, and then admit your mistake with Daddy, he will definitely forgive you." ”

"But...... But ......" The third aunt's tears were still flowing in the corners of her eyes, and after hearing Su Dongxuan's persuasion, her heart finally calmed down, and she asked anxiously later: "Xuan'er, what is the method?" Are you going to beg your big sister? ”

"No, you don't have to worry about this matter, auntie, stay in the yard with peace of mind, my daughter will go to my father's trip, my aunt will have a good rest tonight, and my daughter will come to see you tomorrow." Su Dongxuan was about to go out as she spoke, but the third aunt immediately stopped her and said, "Xuan'er, you will come over later, if you don't tell your aunt a quasi-letter, how can I sleep." ”

Su Dongxuan thought about it, so she nodded, and asked the other maid of the third aunt to take good care of her, and she picked up the corner of her cloak, and a little maid in front of her was holding a lantern, and the group went to Su Hong's study.

When he arrived, the housekeeper was reporting the cause of Yao Ruoshui's death to Su Hongyu inside, and brought the lantern found in the house, Su Dongxuan said softly to the little maid guarding the door: "I want to ask to see Daddy." ”

"Miss Five, wait a minute, the slave will go and report it." He turned around and knocked on the door of Su Hong's study, Su Dongxuan stood quietly outside the door, and saw a good-looking maid come out of the house, saluted Su Dongxuan, and said softly: "Master, please come in." ”

Su Dongxuan walked in alone, the housekeeper stood beside Su Hong, she first saluted Su Hong, "Xuan'er has seen Daddy." ”

"Is there something important to do at this time?" Su Hong didn't raise his head, he waved his hand at the housekeeper, the lantern that the cuckoo left in Yao Ruoshui's courtyard was kept, Su Dongxuan's eyes glanced at the red lantern, and then he bent his knees, knelt in front of Su Hong, and begged in a low voice: "Daddy, Xuan'er begs Daddy to spare Aunt Auntie's life, and Daddy wants his daughter to do whatever her daughter wants." ”

"Oh, it seems that you already know the news of Madame's death, are you also involved in this?" Su Hong squinted her eyes and looked at Su Dongxuan, who was kneeling and crying below, she slowly shook her head and said: "Daddy, what do you know if your daughter participates now, as long as you know, your daughter will listen to you in the future, and the daughter you said to enter the palace also agreed, just ask you to spare your aunt this time." ”

Su Hong saw that she wiped away the tears on her face, with a straight face, looking quite imposing, the previous softness disappeared in an instant, the pen in his hand rubbed quickly, after a while, he put down the pen in his hand, and the paper on the table was still only written with a static word, got up and walked in the direction of Su Dongxuan, bent over to help Su Dongxuan up, patted her shoulder and said: "Daddy agreed, this incident is as if it never happened, your aunt's life is spared, but the maid's life cannot be spared, do you understand?" ”

Su Dongxuan nodded heavily: "My daughter understands, but it's up to her father to deal with it." She can only save her aunt now, and the rest of the people can only burn a few more pieces of paper money for her during the Qingming Festival, and besides, it is also the honor of the girl to die for the master.

Su Hong saw that Su Dongxuan understood the general situation, and nodded slowly: "It's good that you understand in your heart, go back and rest today." ”

Su Dongxuan blessed her body, exited the study, saw the housekeeper waiting outside the door, nodded at him, and then walked back with the help of the maid, the housekeeper bent over and went in, and saw Su Hong's expressionless face and ordered: "Dispose of this lantern, and the maid next to the third aunt, deal with it together, all the people in the house keep their mouths shut, only saying that Mrs. is getting weaker and weaker for a while, and she is gone tonight, and the funeral will be done in the next few days." ”
