Banyue jumped up in shock, and a servant girl rushed in from outside and hit her, and the two fell together, rolling on the ground and tearing like crazy.

"Miss, run!" Ban Yue grabbed the maid's hair with both hands and pulled it stiffly, and raised her head to cry to Ruan Qingzhi.

Ruan Qingzhi had been restrained by her mother-in-law, and she couldn't even stand up, let alone escape.

What's more, there are two little maids with lanterns next to them, and there are a few small maids guarding the door...... Ruan Biyun actually brought seven or eight people, not including the two secret guards that Ruan Wenzhong spent a lot of money to buy for her a few days ago.

The people haven't left the cabinet yet, and this travel battle has already caught up with the concubines in the palace!

Ruan Qingzhi quickly estimated the situation at the moment in his heart, and he did not panic.

When a large handful of rice was stuffed over, she didn't hide, opened her mouth and bit her mother-in-law's fingers fiercely, quickly turned her head and spit it out, and then took advantage of the chaos to rush forward, the person did not stand up, and her wrist had slipped out of her mother-in-law's palm.

The mother-in-law hurriedly stretched out her hand to catch it, and Ruan Qingzhi had already bent over and rushed out, slamming into a little maid holding a lantern in front of her.

The little maid panicked and hurriedly threw the lantern out, and the person was already thrown to the ground by Ruan Qingzhi.

Ruan Qingzhi fell to the ground and picked up his toes, and the lantern flew straight towards Ruan Biyun.

The maids and ladies present screamed in unison, and the secret guards at the door rushed in and whipped down the lanterns, trampling them out with three feet and two feet, and rushed towards Ruan Qingzhi with a fierce momentum.

"Don't come here!" Ruan Qingzhi pushed the servant girl away, turned over and sat up on the ground: "I still have something to say to your master!" ”

The dark guard hesitated to stop, Ruan Biyun waved them back, looked at Ruan Qingzhi and said, "Sister, I didn't expect you to be martial arts." ”

Ruan Qingzhi glared at her, with a fierce light in his eyes: "If I know martial arts, I should kill you at this moment!" ”

Ruan Biyun squinted her eyes and looked at her for a while, then smiled: "That's right." Sister, you hate me and resent me for many years, haven't you? ”

Ruan Qingzhi shook his head, and his gaze gradually returned to softness: "Between sisters, there is nothing to hate. Yun'er, the lantern didn't hurt you just now, did it? ”

Ruan Biyun was stunned.

Ruan Qingzhi lowered his head and smiled, leaning on the corner of the wall and sitting firmly on his knees: "I knew you were going to kill me since I was a child, and I am not surprised that I am in this situation today." But Yun'er, I still have a few words to say, and it's not too late for you to listen to me before you start. ”

"Say it." Ruan Bijun sat down on the pyre.

Ruan Qingzhi raised his head and looked at her: "You came to kill me tonight, my mother may know, but my father must not know, right?" You're afraid that my bad reputation will hurt you, so you want to kill me in front of my father, and claim that I died of a violent illness, right? ”

Ruan Biyun hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Yes." It's good for you and me. Sister, I am the future queen, I cannot have a discredited sibling. ”

Ruan Qingzhi said with a smile: "So, it wasn't you who made rumors about me and the young master of the Yu family. ”

Ruan Biyun frowned, her expression was already a little impatient: "Sister, let's get down to business!" ”

"Okay," Ruan Qingzhi sat up straight, "Then get down to business!" Yun'er, think about it: can you think that your reputation is related to the future of the Prime Minister's house, how could your father not think of it? Do you think that your father is not afraid of long nights and dreams, and is not afraid that I will affect your reputation? ”

Ruan Biyun was silent for a long time, and then slowly stood up holding her mother-in-law's hand: "What do you want to say?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi sat still and said calmly: "I want to say that my father must have a reason to do this if I let me live for three more days." It's not hard for you to kill me tonight, I'm just afraid that the consequences may not be something you can afford. ”

"Huh!" Ruan Bijun finally sneered, "I really don't believe it, what consequences in this world I can't afford?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi looked up at her and smiled: "Okay, I said it wrong, there is nothing that the future queen mother can't afford." But I still advise you to think again, at least to consult with your father before making a decision. - You must know that the queen is not easy to be, a queen born as a concubine of the prime minister and a queen born as a sin girl, the status, prestige and attitude of the husband are very different. ”

Ruan Biyun was stunned.

The mother-in-law next to her suddenly changed her face, walked over quickly, and whispered: "I heard that the master quarreled with the people of Yushitai two days ago. The people of Yushitai will repay their eyes, and they will have to pull the pigtails of our prime minister's house......"

The laws of Nanqi are strict, and even if a biological father kills a child, it is a felony. Usually no one checks it, in case someone is really targeted, a concubine who died in vain is enough to pull the prime minister off the horse.

What's more, if the people of Yushitai want to get to the bottom of a thing, there is nothing they can't find out. What about the future queen, do you really think they don't dare to check?

Ruan Biyun suddenly broke out in a cold sweat when she thought of this.

Ruan Qingzhi leaned against the wall and stood up: "Yun'er, it's almost the third shift, you should go back early to rest, if you sleep late, your eyes will be swollen when you get up early tomorrow." ”

"Thank you, sister," Ruan Biyun gritted her teeth and barely squeezed out a smile: "Sister should rest earlier." ”

Ruan Qingzhi looked at her and smiled.

Ruan Biyun walked very fast, and with her long list of maids and maids, she disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Of course, the door to the firewood room was still locked. The poisonous food was still on the wooden board, and there was a faint aroma coming out.

Ruan Qingzhi couldn't stand the fragrance, so he had to find a thin wooden stick to dig a hole in the ground, and bury the food with dishes and chopsticks.

When he was done with this, he was so tired that he collapsed in the pyre.

Banyue finally came back to her senses, covered her face scratched by the maidservant and came over, her eyes lit up: "No wonder you are so confident, it turns out that you still have hole cards!" Why did I forget, there is still the Imperial Observatory staring at the back of the master! So Miss, we can't die, can we? The old lady's poisoning can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye that it has nothing to do with us, no matter how bold the old man is, he will not dare to kill us unjustly, otherwise how can he explain to the Yushitai? ”

"You're thinking too much!" Ruan Qingzhi sighed and closed his eyes: "Yushitai doesn't ask about every case. My father killed me in the ancestral hall, and in front of the whole clan, the charges were clearly listed, and the family law was implemented above board, and there was no reason for Yu Shitai to interfere again. ”

"But!" Banyue was anxious, "As long as you investigate this case a little, you can see that there is something greasy!" ”

Ruan Qingzhi nodded: "That's true." But for no reason, why did Yushitai come to 'check it out a little'? Yu Shi Zhongcheng is not my grandfather! The Imperial Historical Observatory is in charge of the affairs of the imperial court, not responsible for investigating the shortcomings of the family! ”

Banyue was completely wilted when she heard this.

Ruan Qingzhi was stunned for a moment after he finished speaking, and unexpectedly remembered the jade plate that the original owner had lent Yu Zhongqian.

Goshidai ...... It doesn't seem like a far-fetched place?

It's just that she is no longer free, even if she has a way to meet Yushi Zhongcheng, it is in vain if she can't get out of this firewood room.

"It's still up to you!" Ruan Qingzhi let out a long sigh, found a comfortable position in the pyre, and closed his eyes.

It's not easy to fall asleep in such a place.

The night after mid-autumn was already cold, and it was really painful to be plagued by hunger and pain from the wounds on his body. The master and servant hugged each other and curled up in the corner of the pyre, listening to the chirping of autumn insects inside and outside the firewood room, listening to the large and small mice coming and going on the beams and the foot of the wall, and the time became extremely difficult.

At the fourth watch, the sound of insects in my ears suddenly stopped. Ruan Qingzhi immediately opened his eyes and sat up: "Who's outside?!" ”

Banyue sat up in a daze and rubbed his eyes: "Someone is here again?" Is the second miss still going to kill us? ”

Ruan Qingzhi didn't answer, picked up a wooden stick and walked to the door, leaning sideways against the wall and looking nervously at the crack in the door.

Sure enough, there were people outside.

Ruan Qingzhi saw the broken wooden door move slightly, and a ...... slowly crept in through the crack of the door Pancake?!

No matter how you look at this scene, it feels a little terrifying: the moon is dark and the wind is high, the remote firewood house, the helpless girl, the masked man with a ghostly heart, and the poisonous cake......

The next scene is unimaginable.

Ruan Qingzhi clenched the wooden stick in his hand and took two steps back, his eyes staring at the yellow and fragrant cake, frightened.

At this time, an impatient voice suddenly came from outside the crack in the door: "Do you want to eat or not?" Don't eat I'm gone! ”

"Night Cold?!" Companion Moon jumped up in surprise.

Outside the door, Ruan Qingzhi had already thrown down the wooden stick, stepped forward and grabbed the baked cake and stuffed it to Ban Yue, and at the same time asked urgently outside, "How many cakes did you bring?" We're all going to starve! ”

"You deserve to starve to death!" Ye Han cursed viciously outside the door, but the baked cakes were stuffed in through the crack in the door one after another, and there were six of them.

"Enough is enough!" Ruan Qingzhi was overjoyed, "Ye Han, you have such a good conscience!" ”

Banyue sneered, and when she hurriedly leaned in front of the door and looked out, there was no shadow of the cold outside.

Ruan Qingzhi smiled and returned to the pyre with a few baked cakes and sat down, eating happily. When Banyue was still full of emotion for the cold night's "knife mouth tofu heart", she had already eaten the two baked cakes.

Banyue, who came back to her senses, realized the crisis, and hurriedly snatched her share and started eating.

Ruan Qingzhi nibbled on the last baked cake, and looked at the little girl with a smile on her face: Now it's right! Eating is the first priority in life, and what to do is to think about whether a stinky man is really angry or fake, has a conscience or has no conscience!

……

Of course, it turns out that Ye Han is still very conscientious. Thanks to him, Ruan Qingzhi and Banyue were neither hungry nor thirsty in the next two days, except for being a little bored, they really didn't suffer much grievances.

Guan Chai Fang can still have such treatment, Ruan Qingzhi is a little suspicious: maybe she is not a mourning star in this life, she is still a lady of heaven blessed by the phoenix, right?

It seems that the dead man in Yehan is actually her lucky star!

The night before worshipping the ancestors, Ruan Qingzhi refused the barbecue and water bladders that Ye Han stuffed in, and the companion Yue chatted with thirst and hunger until the second half of the night, and after dawn, his face was pale and haggard, his eyes were dark, his lips were chapped, and he was miserable.

Jin personally brought her mother-in-law over, and was very satisfied when she saw the image of her master and servant.

At this moment, the ancestral worship in the ancestral hall is nearing the end, in addition to the people of the Prime Minister's family, Ruan Qingzhi's second and third uncles, as well as the five cousins and uncles and their families who are also in Shangjing, knelt in a courtyard.

When the juniors finished kowtowing to the last head and laying out the last glass of wine, and stood up with each other, the Jin family walked in with Ruan Qingzhi, the master and servant who were tied into zongzi, and said loudly: "In addition to worshipping ancestors, there is another important event in the Prime Minister's Mansion today, and I want to ask you uncles to witness!" ”

This is a link that has not been disclosed beforehand. Everyone was surprised, dozens of pairs of eyes looked at them together, staring at Ruan Qingzhi's master and servant up and down, and there were many discussions.

The Jin family ordered someone to kick Ruan Qingzhi and Banyue to the ground, turned back to Ruan Wenzhong and said, "Master, come on!" ”

Ruan Wenzhong looked tired with two dark circles under his eyes: "In front of the ancestors, I have no shame to speak." Let this obstacle speak for itself! ”

Ruan Qingzhi laughed scoffed.

Jin was immediately furious: ", what are you laughing at?!" ”

Ruan Qingzhi straightened his back and looked at her with his head raised: "I laugh at you singing a big drama in the ancestral hall, deceiving the living and the dead, even the ancestors will not let go!" ”

"Shut up!" Ruan Wenzhong snapped, "How can the ancestors allow you to talk nonsense in front of the spirit!" ”

Ruan Qingzhi narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly: "Don't talk nonsense?" Then I have nothing more to say! You don't have anything to say, let's go our separate ways! ”

Ruan Wenzhong was so angry that he pressed his chest when he heard this, and he couldn't speak for a long time. The people in the courtyard watched the excitement very happily, and they couldn't stop chattering.

Seeing this, the Jin family had to stand up, pointed at Ruan Qingzhi and said loudly to everyone: "This matter is embarrassing, but it is related to the Ruan family's voice, and we dare not hide it - this girl is the eldest daughter of my prime minister's mansion Qingzhi, she did two big mistakes a few days ago, and today in front of the whole clan's fathers and elders, my prime minister's mansion wants to kill this evil girl and clean up the door!" ”

When the words "clean up the portal" were spoken, everyone was shocked.

It's also strange that they are clumsy, they really didn't see that one of these two little girls in coarse cloth clothes was actually the daughter of the prime minister's house, and they couldn't see that a thirteen or fourteen-year-old thin little girl could do anything hurtful and unreasonable, and it was worth treating it so solemnly as "cleaning the door".

The Jin family was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, cleared his throat and said loudly: "Our Ruan family is a benevolent family, if it weren't for the heinous crime, the master and I wouldn't be so ruthless!" Tell your uncles and uncles to know: Ruan Qingzhi, the rebel daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, was ruthless, and actually murdered the old lady with a highly poisonous Acacia, although later his conscience found out that he helped the old lady detoxify, but the Prime Minister's Mansion could not tolerate such a heinous thing! ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole house was in an uproar.

Poisoned! Murder of my grandmother! How can a girl at such a young age have such a vicious heart! I'm afraid this little girl is the reincarnation of a demon, right?

Thinking of this, everyone immediately thought of some rumors: it is said that the pair of sisters from the Prime Minister's Mansion are born and restrain each other, one is the destiny of the heavenly phoenix that blesses the people with the auspicious body, and the other is naturally the disaster star of the fierce god who breaks through the door and destroys the household!

Such a monster, how to keep it!

At that moment, the Manchu clan was indignant, and the men of each family automatically stepped forward to protect the women and children behind them, pointing at Ruan Qingzhi and starting a crusade in unison.

Ruan Qingzhi listened quietly, without justifying or struggling, as if he had accepted his fate.

Jin smiled with satisfaction, slapped his face to signal everyone to be quiet, and continued: "In addition to this capital crime of murdering her relatives, there is another thing that is even more difficult to talk about - this evil obstacle she actually hides a man in the inner courtyard, and secretly survives!" ”

The crowd exploded in an instant.

It's worth it! When the prime minister's mansion and the poetry heirloom family, there was such a dirty thing in the house, will the clansmen still have the face to go out in the future? Can the daughters of the clan still marry?

"You must kill this little brute!" I don't know who roared in a thick voice.

The sound of echoing in the courtyard rang out loudly, deafening.

"Kill her! Kill her! The crowd shouted in unison, and rushed out of their chests full of righteous indignation, eager to tear their throats.

Kim didn't interrupt, and waited quietly for a while before hearing the shouting gradually thin.

She was a little unsatisfied, walked slowly to the offering table, and said in a deep voice: "My lord and I never thought that such a thing would happen to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Now that things have come to this point, it is impossible for this daughter not to die! So the old man thought about it for a long time, and finally made up his mind: today he will kill the wicked girl in this ancestral hall, which can be regarded as a wake-up call for the younger generations of the clan, so that they know what they can do and what they can't do! ”

I don't know who shouted in the crowd: "Xiangye killed his relatives with righteousness, it should be like this!" Such a vicious and shameless obstacle cannot be left! ”

shouted out the crowd of echoes, and the current courtyard was another round of excitement.

The little servant quickly carried the bench over, and the family with the stick was already in place, just waiting for Ruan Qingzhi to lie on the stool, he could beat her with a stick and a stick until her skin and flesh were blurred until she died.

The two mothers-in-law rushed over and lifted Ruan Qingzhi and were about to press it on the bench, but Banyue cried out beside her.

At this moment, Ruan Qingzhi gritted his teeth, shook off the two mothers-in-law, stepped on the bench and puffed up his chest: "With the moon, don't cry!" ”

Jin was immediately furious: "Cheap maid, do you still want to rebel?" ”

Turned his head and scolded the mother-in-law again: "Didn't you two eat?" Can't even hold down a little slut? ”

The two mothers-in-law didn't dare to say much and hurriedly came forward to catch Ruan Qingzhi, but they were secretly muttering in their hearts, complaining that the other party was lazy and unwilling to contribute.

Of course, the miss just now was an accident, otherwise could it still be broken free? How can a sick and crooked little girl get so much strength!

It won't be so easy to escape if they catch them again. Ruan Qingzhi dodged the two mothers-in-law, and then rushed out with an arrow and jumped onto the offering table.

This can be regarded as a hornet's nest, and several uncles and uncles standing in front of him suddenly burst into a rage, and even Ruan Wenzhong, who had been worried all the time, finally couldn't help but rush over.

Ruan Qingzhi narrowed his eyes and smiled coldly, and opened his mouth: "It's best not to come over, otherwise I'll kick the incense burner down!" ”

Although the incense burner is not a great thing, it is also a great disrespect to the ancestors to do this kind of thing when worshipping the ancestors, and everyone is a little hesitant at the moment.

Seeing this, Ruan Qingzhi straightened his waist again, glanced condescendingly at everyone, and sneered: "Ruan clan, are they all fools?" The execution of the prisoner by the imperial court still has to be tried in three sessions with complete evidence, and you only listened to a few lies from a certain poisonous woman and clamored to kill me, are you really not afraid of reviving your ancestors and ancestors? ”

The people of the clan were scolded in the face by a junior, and they were all so angry that they were smoking, and they couldn't stop scolding angrily.

Ruan Qingzhi didn't care either, and waited until everyone was almost scolded, and then she opened her mouth leisurely: "My father and mother want to kill me, it is naturally because my daughter is not a good girl, and it is not a pity to die." However, mother, in order to kill a daughter she doesn't like, she makes up lies to deceive her ancestors, is it a bit excessive? ”

Her voice wasn't loud, but somehow everyone in the huge courtyard could hear it clearly.

Especially the kids who were crammed into the corner. In such a chaotic situation, it is rare for them to hear a sentence so clearly, and of course they inevitably become interested. So several children shouted in unison: "Lie to your ancestors? Who lied to the ancestors? ”

There was no place for children to speak in the ancestral hall, and the adults of each family were busy scolding. The chaos in the courtyard is no longer the atmosphere that Kim created before.

Ruan Qingzhi smiled and looked down at the Jin family: "Mother, I want to avenge my grievances." ”

Jin Shi trembled with anger, stretched out his hand and pointed at her and was about to scold again, Ruan Qingzhi had already spoken again, and his voice resounded clearly throughout the courtyard: "You say I have an affair with someone? Mother, take a good look at me! Look at how tall I am? Do you remember how old I am? I only turned 14 last month, and I won't be there until next year! You can't forget that I'm still a kid just because you've never hugged me or hurt me, right? These fourteen years...... Tiger poison doesn't eat children, you're ......."

As soon as these words came out, many women sighed.

Ruan Qingzhi raised his sleeve and wiped it on his face, laughing as if he was crazy: "You said that I had an affair with someone, but you asked someone to come for a physical examination!" You won't! Where do you not believe me, you know everything, you just want to find an excuse to kill me! But I just want to ask: What am I hindering you? ”

Ruan Wenzhong walked over quickly and scolded in a low voice: "Evil obstacles, shut up!" ”

Ruan Qingzhi jumped up and down on the offering table, avoiding a few of the little guys who tried to drive her down, and continued to ask in a sad voice: "Fourteen years! I live alone in Xifang Garden and eat bran vegetables, my clothes are mended and my illness is mended, no one asks if I drown, no one cares, what did I say? Have I ever been jealous of your fine clothes and food? Have I ever argued? My sister often followed more than a dozen people when she went out, and I only had a nurse and two maids there, and they were all set on fire to death! Or my grandmother felt sorry for me, and sent me a little girl who didn't have two teeth to me, and she didn't know anything and stumbled and stumbled with me from the age of eight to the present! ”

"What are you talking about?" Ruan Wenzhong was furious, "Every drink and food you eat is given by the Prime Minister's Mansion, you should know how to be grateful!" ”

Ruan Qingzhi was also very angry, and jumped on the offering table: "What am I talking about?" I saved a beggar the other day, and he himself was willing to be my servant to protect me, and you didn't need to spend money on him, nor did you need to pay him a month's money, why can't you tolerate it, and you will make up such a disgusting charge of 'fornication' to slander me! If you say that having a male servant in my yard is fornication, then what about my sister's six or seven in the yard, what is she? Having an affair with eight men at the same time?! ”
