The carriage was fast, bumpy all the way, Chunliu's head hit a hard object, and he woke up in pain, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Yun Xiu lying on the side, and he didn't have time to shout for help, like goods, he was thrown into the dark alley and fell unconscious.

The north wind is whining, and the sky is gloomy, and it looks like it will rain or not.

Ling Xiao thought that Yun Xiu would go out today, afraid that it would be inconvenient for her to be a month old, so he rushed back from the Privy Council half an hour early.

The housekeeper's mother-in-law was preparing a meal, and when she saw that the door of the main house was open, she thought that the eldest grandmother had returned, so she hurriedly went in to greet her: "Grandma, the meal is almost ready, should you heat it first, or add two more dishes." “

"Hasn't Grandma come back yet?" Ling Xiao walked around from the hall to the Huxia Hall, frowned and asked, "Did you not come back for a day, or did you come back and go out again?" “

The housekeeper's mother-in-law was unexpected, stunned, and said respectfully, "Back to the little marquis, the eldest grandmother hasn't returned yet, and the slave has already sent someone to Qi Mansion to ask questions, and it is estimated that it is time to go back." “

As he was talking, the little guy ran in from the courtyard gate, panting and said, "Mom! Mom! Oh no! “

"What's the matter," the housekeeper lifted the cotton curtain. reprimanded, "The little marquis just came back, what are you yelling about!" Something that doesn't have rules. “

"Ask him to come in and say." Ling Xiao's voice came out.

The little maid responded, stepped into the house, and said hurriedly: "Back to the Hou Ye, the little one went to Qi Mansion to find the eldest grandmother, they said that the eldest grandmother had left early, but our carriage was parked at the door, and the coachman thought that the eldest grandmother and the third grandmother of Qi were talking to themselves, and they had been waiting outside, and everyone was frozen." “

The housekeeper asked, "Where is the spring willow next to the grandmother?" Do you see? “

"No, I didn't see the little one." The little girl shook her head and cried with a sad face, "Mom, look at what you asked, what's going on with the eldest grandmother." Not to mention Chunliu, we all cheered up and waited for fear of making a mistake. “

Ling Xiao didn't speak, the corners of his mouth sank slightly, he got up to take his coat, and explained: "The rice is hot, the earth dragon is warm, everything is as usual for grandma, I will go to Qi Mansion, if someone comes back, ask her to eat first, don't wait for me." “

The housekeeper's mother-in-law squatted down to receive the order.

Ling Xiao picked up the horsewhip and left quickly.

When he found Qi Yuheng, the couple was eating.

"Rare guest," Qi Yuheng asked someone to add a pair of dishes and chopsticks, and two wine cups. "It's just right for you to come, let's have a drink, and I'll send you back after drinking."

"The wine is left," Ling Xiao said with a straight face, "Yun Xiu is gone, and the girl who followed her is gone, and after leaving your side, she didn't go back." “

Yun Ying was stunned when she listened, "Xiuxiu didn't go back?" No, the seventh sister said to send her, and the two sisters went together. “

Qi Yuheng was also stunned: "Yun Shu is here?" “

"Well, she said that she offended the eighth sister and asked me to take the lead in making peace, my mind is all my own sisters, so it's okay to talk about it." Yun Ying said, looking at Ling Xiao, "Yun Shu is thin and out of shape, it is estimated that there will not be many days, she knows it in her heart, and she still said that there are some things not to say, I am afraid that I will not have a chance in the future." “

A dying person has regrets to confess, human nature.

Ling Xiao couldn't think of who he had a grudge with for a while, "Forget it, you guys eat, I'll go to Yunfu and ask the Seventh Girl." “

Qi Yuheng gave Yun Ying a look, and said kindly, "I'll go with you, after all, the eighth sister went out of Qi Mansion, and the person is gone, we are also responsible, I knew this was the case, we should have called the carriage of Qi Mansion to send her." “

"Yes, yes, don't worry," Yun Ying took two cotton coats and one for Qi Yuheng, "I'm with you, after all, Yun Shu hasn't left the pavilion, so it's easier for me to find her." “

After finishing speaking, the group of three went straight to the new house in Yunfu.

Yun Yushi had a reception, so naturally Yun Zixuan received the guests, and when he heard what he meant, his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes, and he jumped to his feet and shouted: "What do you mean?!" Relying on the large number of people, I'm a bully, isn't it?! Yun Xiu is gone, what's the matter with my sister! “

Ling Xiao stared at him, his gaze was sharp, like a frost knife cutting through snow, revealing a faint murderous aura.

Qi Yuheng was worried that Erwu would be beaten, so he hurriedly blocked between the two of them, and said politely: "Big brother, we didn't say what Yun Shu did to Yun Xiu, so let's ask, has Yun Shu come back?" Just give it a word. “

Yun Zixuan was extremely uncooperative and flicked his sleeves, and said impatiently, "I don't know!" “

Ling Xiao grabbed the horsewhip on the square table and got up without saying a word.

"You, you, you, what are you going to do!" Yun Zixuan took a few steps back, "Beating people in my house, is there a Heavenly Principle King Law?" “

"Hey, forget it, forget it, he's the eldest brother." Qi Yuheng stopped, turned his head and said to Yun Ying, "You hurry up and go to the backyard to have a look, don't really do it later, alarm the old lady, there is no good fruit to eat." “

Yun Ying called a mother-in-law to guide the way and left in a hurry.

Ling Xiao endured the anger in his stomach and sat down again, Qi Yuheng also sat down, Yun Zixuan saw that the other party was Lian Jiazi, and found the farthest position to facilitate escape.

The three of them sat in the flower hall and did not speak, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

Qi Yuheng felt embarrassed, coughed lightly, and eased the relationship: "It's the first time you two have met, big brother, this is the Marquis of Zhongyi, and he must have heard of it in the capital." “

Yun Zixuan laughed dryly twice, clenched his fists perfunctorily, "Look up for a long time." “

Ling Xiao snorted coldly: "The false courtesy is waived, you remember to return the one hundred taels of silver tickets that Yun Xiu borrowed from you and return them as they are." “

"The dignified Hou Mansion, there are still a hundred taels missing?" Yun Zixuan relied on Qi Yuheng to be there, and he was happy, "I'm not afraid of people laughing off their big teeth when it goes out." “

Speaking of this, he remembered something, "By the way, my father subsidized a lot of gold to the Ling family, Master Ling, you are a noble person, how forgetful you are, this one hundred taels is not much interest." “

As soon as the words fell, a teacup flew over, approaching the door, and heard Yun Zixuan scream, the whole person slid down from the chair, squatted on the ground, covered his face and howled: "You! You! You! It hurts me! “

Qi Yuheng knew that he would stop doing it.

He advised Ling Xiao: "Point to point, point to point." “

As he spoke, he walked to Yun Zixuan's side again and squatted down: "Big brother, are you okay?" Why don't I see where the injury is? “

Yun Zixuan raised his face and let go of his hand, revealing a dark blue eye. The other eye couldn't be opened, and he was still howling: "I'm going blind!" “

Qi Yuheng couldn't hold back, laughed out loud, and comforted him, "Big brother, it's okay, go back and get a warm egg and roll it, just two or three days." “

After giving the sweet dates, he squeezed the person again: "However, you have to be glad that the little marquis has a cup in his hand and not a knife, otherwise your head is like a gourd string, and the death is ugly. “

Ling Xiao said disdainfully: "There are fewer draws." “

"You!" As soon as Yun Zixuan jumped to his feet, he saw the other party pick up another tea cup, immediately deflated, and said to Qi Yu Heng, "You still sit on his side." “

As soon as Qi Yuheng sat down, Yun Ying rushed back, and when she saw Yun Zixuan's dark blue eyes, she became more and more anxious: "How old are the three of you, add up to the ancient years, and you are only so old, how can you be like a child, just beat when you say it?!" “

Yun Zixuan suffered a loss, and said as if complaining: "Second sister, it's not my fault, Master Hou will strike first." “

Yun Ying sighed, "Big brother, people are angry, you are used to being at home on weekdays, when do you know to be considerate." “

Yun Zixuan was anxious, "I can't do it if I don't understand!" “

"Okay, okay, one less word," Qi Yuheng and the mud, "Hurry up and get down to business, Yun Shu is not there?" “

Yun Ying said angrily: "No, not even the orb beside her." “

"My sister is gone!" Yun Zixuan suddenly had a reason to take three points, and shouted with a stiff neck: "You are still looking for someone to ask me for, and you are still beating me!" How to calculate this account! Don't talk about being ugly today, don't want to go out from the gate of Yunfu! Someone! Seal the gates! “

"Who dare!" Ling Xiao Huo Ran got up and shouted, pointing at Yun Zixuan with a horsewhip, "If you dare to put you under house arrest, I will raze the entire Yun Mansion tomorrow!" “

Yun Zixuan was stunned by the sudden roar, and listened to Qi Yuheng's whispered persuasion, "Big brother." The green-headed knife in the barracks is at the disposal of the eighth brother-in-law, don't be stupid, Yun Xiu's stomach is the blood of the Marquis of Zhongyi, and if you go on a business trip, you will be charged with framing the imperial family, and the killing is light. “

"Really, really?" Yun Zixuan came back to his senses and pursed his lips, "Eight, the eighth brother-in-law is so powerful?" I thought??"

"Don't think so," Qi Yuheng patted him on the shoulder, "Big brother, now that there are no four people in the two families, reporting to the official is not a trivial matter, you know what to say, now it is the right thing to find the person first." “

"I, I??"

Yun Zixuan didn't dare to say it, Yun Shu saw him for the last time and told him again and again, if he revealed half a word, not only would the plan fall short, but his father would be furious, and not only their brothers and sisters would be implicated at that time, but the little lady in Yangzhou would also be implicated, according to the clan rules, they would all worship their ancestors with three lives.

Stretching out the head with a knife, shrinking the head is also a knife.

Yun Zixuan has no way out, but he never expected that the eighth brother-in-law is a ruthless character, no wonder last time he was detained in the restaurant, the other party saw a hundred taels of silver tickets and immediately released him, it was not that money could make ghosts grind, but that he underestimated the status of the Qi and Ling families in the capital.

"Brother, do you know anything? You're talking! Yun Ying saw him spitting. said hurriedly, "Shu'er and Xiuxiu's bodies can't withstand tossing and fright, do you have to ask me to invite my grandmother to come before I can tell the truth?!" “

"I really don't know anything!" Yun Zixuan squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, as a turtle with a shrunken head, "I don't get close to the seventh sister on weekdays, and my father said that the seventh sister is a big girl, so I told me not to go to the boudoir." “

"You're a wreck!" Yun Ying was angry and couldn't argue, and she didn't care about her face and scolded, "What do you know besides spending time drinking and visiting kilns!" Which of our brothers and sisters is not better than you! Cheng Ri takes the eldest son and calls himself the eldest son, I bah! Yun Zixuan, Yun Xiu is the sister of my mother's compatriots! She has to have three long and two short, I will return to the clan tomorrow, please elders, they will abolish your mother! I do what I say! “

After speaking, he was puzzled, and rushed up to shave Yun Zixuan's ears, but was stopped by Qi Yuheng.

"You dissipate your anger, dissipate your anger, and if you continue to make trouble, you really mess with your grandmother."

"Grandmother is coming!" Yun Ying was so angry that tears flowed out uncontrollably, and she stared viciously at the man who was squatting on the ground without saying a word, "If it weren't for Yun Shu's terminal illness, I would never have pressed Xiuxiu!" What kind of thing is your sister, the color of an aunt's belly, and she deserves to be compared with her relatives?! Our relatives are superior! Seeing the third brother and the ninth brother on the family tree, your eyes are hot, and you want to kill all your relatives! “

"Second girl, the two aunts are both distinguished guests, why are you so out of shape?" Coldly, Fang's mother's calm voice came from under the porch.

Qi Yuheng finished thinking about it, the old lady must have known that the flower hall was lively, and sent Fang's mother to come, he pulled the corners of his mouth, "Mom, Yun Ying is angry, don't tell your grandmother, make her old man unhappy." “

"The second aunt is the most reasonable," Fang's mother blessed the group in the house, "Eighth aunt, the slave met you in Yangzhou, but I didn't expect the second time to meet on this occasion, the old lady asked the slave to convey the disrespect on her behalf, and said that if you have any demands, go to her old man's house to explain it." “

"Please grandmother to rest and recuperate, it is inconvenient for my grandson-in-law to bother," Ling Xiao said respectfully, got up and said goodbye, "I'll go find someone first." “

Qi Yuheng saw that he had withdrawn, and also said goodbye: "Please ask my mother to tell my grandmother, saying that there is no big deal, please ask her to recuperate at the old man's house, and everything is based on health." “

As she spoke, she walked out.

Yun Ying refused, "I'll stay here and wait for my father to come back, so as not to let this wretch talk nonsense." “

"If the second girl wants to stay, just stay," Fang's mother withdrew from the door, "You go to the old lady's house with the slave to rest, the flower hall is cold, not as warm as the house." “

Ming, supporting Yun Ying and Yun Zixuan.

"Second brother-in-law, I, I'm with you!"

Yun Zixuan was panicked, he was in the nest, naively thinking that Yun Shu was just a few ruthless words, at most he made a small fuss, trying to be happy, but he didn't expect that the situation had already exceeded expectations.

Qi Yu Heng calmed down, beckoned to him, and said to Ling Xiao: "We split into two ways, find Yun Xiu and send him back to the small mansion, I can't find it before the time, and we will meet in the small mansion." “

Ling Xiao said okay.

In the winter of the capital, the cold is heavier at night, most of the shops close early, and the cold wind sweeps through every street and alley, blowing the dilapidated wooden doors creak.

Chunliu woke up from freezing, she opened her eyes dizzily, her teeth were cold and chattering, her face was sticky, and she wiped it with her sleeve, only to find that it was all blood.

She didn't know where she was hurt, she felt the pain and torture all over her body, staggered up, held on to the wall and gritted her teeth, and moved forward step by step, until she saw the vermilion lacquer gate of the small house, and finally the remaining consciousness collapsed, and she fell straight down.

Ling Xiao and Qi Yuheng made an appointment to go back to the small house.

The housekeeper's mother-in-law followed the footsteps of the two and reported in detail: "Little Hou Ye, Chunliu came back alone, all of them were traumatic, broke his head, was thrown in the dark alley, blew the cold wind for most of the day, and was in a high fever. “

Ling Xiao lifted the cotton curtain and got in, "Does she know where she was thrown?" “

"The servant asked," said the housekeeper respectfully, "Chunliu was so sick that she couldn't remember anything, but she said that the Seventh Girl wanted them to get into the carriage first, and then someone covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and when she woke up halfway, she was thrown out of the carriage." “

Qi Yuheng asked, "Did she see the Seventh Girl?" “

The housekeeper's mother-in-law shook her head, "Third Master Qi, my eldest grandmother, plus three girls, suddenly someone attacked from behind, and they were scared to death, and no one could take care of anyone at the moment." “

"Fortunately, it proves that they are all in the city," Qi Yuheng turned to Ling Xiao and said, "If you want to go to the outskirts of the city, you won't throw Chunliu out alone." “

Ling Xiao pondered for a moment and asked the housekeeper's mother-in-law, "Have you received a ransom letter or something?" “

"No," said the housekeeper, "the gate of the courtyard has not been opened since you went out, except when Chunliu returned. “

"Revenge?" Qi Yuheng speculated, "Revenge on you or revenge on the old man?" If you want to take revenge on you, what will you do by kidnapping the seventh girl? To take revenge on the old man, there is no need to tie up Yun Xiu, Yun Xiu is now the Ling family, doesn't tying her up mean offending the Hou Mansion? Weird. “

Ling Xiao always felt that something was wrong, "You called Yun Zixuan, I have something to ask him." “

Qi Yuheng was afraid that he couldn't help but make a move, so he stopped, "Ask about this kind of thing, or I'll come, you think about where Yun Xiu might go, and I'll say hello to the ruffians, they are more familiar with the corners of the capital than us, and they are searching like a net, don't worry, there will be news in an hour." “

The cold wind howled in the streets, accompanied by the rhythmic sound of bangzi, was particularly bleak and lonely.

Yun Xiu frowned, half-dreaming and half-awake instinctively protecting her lower abdomen, moved her frozen feet, and found that her ankles were tied together, she got up and wanted to untie them, but was blocked by her big belly.

His gaze returned to himself, he was well dressed, a cloak and a thick cotton suit were missing, and under him was a broken quilt, and straw was pressed under the broken quilt.

A weak sound came from the dark corner, like a human and like a wounded beast, Yun Xiu stood up and stared with bated breath, subconsciously looking over, but he couldn't see anything clearly.

"Awake?" The wooden door was pushed open, and the north wind rushed in with a chill, and then it was blocked out of the board.

"What do you want to do?" Yun Shu turned to ashes, and Yun Xiu could recognize it, she asked vigilantly and angrily, "What is the intention of tying me up?" “

"Are you scared?" Yun Shu's face was pale, her two eye sockets were deep, and she was skinny. In the dim moonlight, like a wandering wild ghost, looking at the mad.

Yun Xiu sneered: "Why should I be afraid? When have I ever been afraid of you? I think you're disgusting! “

"Say it as if you're not disgusting with me." Yun Shu's voice was hoarse, and she said calmly, "I just don't understand, what's worse than you?" Aren't you just a cousin? What else? “

"This is fate, you have to admit it!" Yun Xiu fought back sharply, "Who asked you to give birth to your aunt's belly?" Grandmother just hates Ding Meisheng, so she hates you! If you want to blame your little mother for not teaching her well, she gives her father eye medicine every day, or just give birth to a firstborn son, what about the eldest son, your good brother is not even as good as a wreck! “

"It's not your turn to comment on him!" Yun Shu couldn't stand for too long, sat on the wooden chair and panted, and said sarcastically, "My brother is even a wine bag and a rice bag." The father still raises him, what about you, pregnant with the child, the in-laws are still not satisfied, tsk, it's really pitiful. “

"Shut up!" Yun Xiu narrowed his eyes and said angrily, "I can get married, have children, and live a fulfilling life in my life, what do you have?" If you are dying, you will not stop, and you will be a scourge of heaven and earth! “

"I am the scourge!" Yun Shuer got up, knelt on the ground with no physical strength, climbed forward a few steps with all his strength, grabbed the edge of the satin-embroidered cloak, his fingers trembled, and he laughed piercingly. "It's such a rich material, I'm afraid it won't be long before I wear it."

Yun Xiu vigorously pulled back his clothes, and said, "What do you want to do?" “

"Why?" Yun Shu raised her head suddenly, her eyes were full of madness, staring at the exquisite face, and said word by word, "I, want, pull, you, accompany, bury!" “

"You're crazy," Yun Xiu shook his head slowly, protecting his stomach, and instinctively moved back, "You're really crazy, stay away from me." “

As she spoke, she rolled over and crawled towards the door, but was grabbed by the ankle by the other party.

"Let it go!" Yun Xiu struggled desperately and shouted sharply, "Get out!" “

Yun Shu couldn't catch her person, so she grabbed the cloak tightly, and while tearing, a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted on Yun Xiu's body, and then her body stiffened and fell down on her side.

It all came without warning.

Yun Xiu's heart was stunned for a long time, and then he heard Yun Shu's throat breathing like a bellows, each one faster than the other.

"Eighth sister??" She suddenly cried, her thin fingers scratching the blood on the ground, and said unwillingly, "I?? I still have, a good year, I don't want to die??"

"You?? Do you remember, when you were a child??" Yun Shu said with all her strength, "We, looking at my father?? Only eat chicken legs for the eldest brother and the third brother, I say to you?? Why, we're not sons??"

People are about to die, and their words are good, about that.

Yun Xiu looked at her, and suddenly felt sad, they had grown up under the same roof, after the same childhood, and suffered the same injustice, she also thought about why she was not a son, and where was she worse than the eldest brother and the third brother?

"But you have a grandmother?? My little mother, little mother??" Yun Shu's voice became weaker and weaker, "In the crack??" Survival. “

Speaking of which. She chuckled, "You'll never experience it in your life??"

"That's enough, don't talk about it." Yun Xiu surrendered, she was strong because she didn't want to face the unbearable pressure in her heart, "I thought that after the second sister got married, you would become my best sister, but I was wrong." “

"Why do you slander me and frame me in front of my father again and again?!" She cried and asked her, "When you are old, your parents are together, and I only have my grandmother!" Have you ever felt my sadness! “

"I'm going to die??" Yun Shu sneered, "Let's let me, I understand you??"

"That's it," she said angrily, "before I leave, I'll give you two gifts??" The first piece. Xie Zongren is not dead, the second one??"

Yun Shu looked at the broken window and said with relief: "The time has come??" Should I go?? This hell on earth, leave it for you to savor it slowly??"

After saying that, the light in her eyes slowly disappeared, leaving only a ball of dead air.

"Seventh sister? Yun Shu? Yun Xiu's mind suddenly emptied, crawled over, with tears in his eyes, and patted her, "What do you mean when you say Xie Zongren is not dead?" What's the second gift?! You speak, speak! You're talking! “

She almost screamed at the last sentence.

At the same time, the wooden door was vigorously kicked open, and a group of torches came in, illuminating the dilapidated house.

For a while, all kinds of conjectures appeared in everyone's eyes.

Yun Zhidong only saw Yun Shu lying on the ground, out of breath but not in, her legs were weak, she fell to her knees, and shouted desolately: "Shu'er! Oh my sister-in-law! “

"Xiuxiu, Xiuxiu, are you okay?" Ling Xiao untied the rope on her ankle and found that she was confused, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with you?" Isn't it uncomfortable? “

"Ling Xiao, she's taking revenge on me," Yun Xiu's gaze stayed on Yun Shu's face and muttered to himself, "Revenge with my life, I lost, I completely lost this game." “

"The seventh girl is dead, what nonsense are you talking about?" Ling Xiao picked her up, touched the wet skirt, spread out his palm, it was not blood, and he had a premonition, "Xiuxiu??"

Before the words fell, Yun Xiu felt abdominal pain, and the whole person leaned on his arms, and his face changed: "Ling Xiao, I, I seem to be about to give birth." “
