Chapter 27: The Maniac

"The people you brought back, look at it yourself! The younger sister of the Red Lotus Fort Fire Protector, I think I've already opened the net. Bian Che threw a word to Qi Niang, and went back to Qianji Building overnight.

Lan Shang lost her heart overnight, and cried in her room for a long time, Qi Niang encountered such a situation, and she didn't know what to do for a while. It turned out that Bian Che had known Lan Shang's identity for a long time, but he still let her stay. But now Bian Che must not want to see Lan Sheng again.

After a long time, Lan Sheng broke the silence between the two first, and she smiled self-deprecatingly: "Sister, are you very satisfied with such an ending?" I finally don't have to stay with the landlord anymore. ”

"I've never thought of it that way. Lan Shang, Bian Che is not worthy of your reliance, I will help you find a good family......"

Lan Shang interrupted her with a sneer, "Hmph, good family, who else wants me for someone like me who has lost his innocence and has something to do with the assassination organization?" Without the landlord, I can only live alone. ”

Lan Shang's words stabbed Qi Niang's heart hard, she shook her head and said, "Lan Shang, don't say that, you are still young, and there are still long days to come......"

But I heard Lan Sheng mocking, "When did Seventh Sister become more innocent than me, my sister has the protection of the landlord, of course she is not afraid of anything, what about me, nothing, can you take care of me for the rest of my life?" ”

"I'll take care of you if you want."

"I don't want to!" Lan Sheng suddenly screamed, staring at Qi Niang's face as if facing a wicked person, "If I have a choice, I don't want to have anything to do with you at all, if you don't intervene in my life, maybe I can still live a good life with my father, even if I am poor, we won't complain much." And after you came, we trembled all day for fear that others would find out about our existence, and my father and mother were killed on my birthday, all thanks to you! But I also want to thank you for letting Pavilion Master Jiang cure my eyes, so that I can see your hypocritical face, you always say that you treat me as a sister, but in fact, you don't care about me at all, and you never care what I'm thinking! Do you know what they say about me behind my back? Say I'm a vixen, I won't compete with you for favor, and say that the landlord is good to me, all because I'm your sister! If you hadn't brought me to the Kim family in the first place, how would I have been so humiliated by them! ”

Qi Niang listened to her words in a daze, she never thought that Lan Sheng would hate her so much. Lan Shang's words pierced her heart like ten thousand arrows, and she couldn't refute it, "Lan Shang, no matter how much you hate me, I will definitely avenge your parents." ”

"Revenge? How can you avenge me? You don't even know who they are. Lan Shang looked at her, her laughter was sharp and mean, and even her eyes began to turn into disgust. If you don't want me to hate you more, leave me alone for a while. ”

Qi Niang closed her eyes painfully, and said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow." ”

She walked out of the room with a pale face, but saw Yu Mingyang standing in the courtyard outside pacing back and forth boredly, as if she had been waiting for herself for a long time. However, she didn't plan to talk to anyone now, so she walked away in a detour, but Yu Mingyang stopped herself with a smile.

"Little Seventh Girl, I know you're in a bad mood, but I do have something important to tell you." Yu Mingyang was anxious, and reached out to grab Qi Niang's arm.

Qi Niang stopped and quietly withdrew her hand, "What's the matter?" ”

Yu Mingyang's face sneered, and he said mysteriously: "It's about Miss Lanshang, I think Miss Xiaoqi must be very interested in this matter, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Qi Niang couldn't help frowning, and followed Yu Mingyang to Xueqiu's nest, as soon as she entered the firewood room, Qi Niang smelled a fragrance, because the spice had just happened, her heart "chuckled", and she had a bad premonition.

Snowball slept very deeply, and did not wake up by the arrival of the two men. Qi Niang subconsciously touched Xueqiu's body temperature.

"Little Seventh Girl, don't panic, this cat is just more sleepy. Did the little seventh girl notice that something was wrong with this cat these days? ”

"Snowball's appetite isn't very good these days." may be because she was frightened last time and hasn't completely recovered from it, Qi Niang couldn't help but feel nervous when she thought of what Lan Sheng said to her.

"I found an interesting thing two days ago, when I passed by the firewood house at night, I happened to see Miss Lanshang coming out of the firewood room, she said that she came to see the snowball, but I remember that Miss Lanshang didn't seem to like this cat, how could she suddenly come to see it in the middle of the night for no reason? So I sneaked in and took a look, and found that there was leftover food in Snowball's food box, how did Miss Lanshang think of feeding the cat in the middle of the night? I remembered what the veterinarian said, saying that the cat had eaten unclean food, which caused drowsiness, and in the long run, it would lose its appetite, be malnourished, and get sick easily. It just so happened that Miss Lanshang was not here today, so I came to the firewood room again to take a look, and saw that a little girl who usually stayed next to Miss Lanshang came in with a food box, and Miss Xiaoqi wanted to know what it was? After saying these words, Yu Mingyang smiled at himself.

Qi Niang subconsciously looked at the food box in the corner and didn't find anything strange.

"Little Seventh Girl doesn't need to look at it, I saw that the contents of the food box were not suitable for cats, so I immediately changed them. Here's the food box that the guy brought. As he spoke, Yu Mingyang opened the wooden barrel on one side.

Suddenly, a strange pungent smell rushed into the nasal cavity, Qi Niang glanced into the barrel, and her stomach suddenly turned over, and there were pieces of bloody carrion inside, and there were some hairs on it, Qi Niang quickly recognized it as the dead stray cat outside the courtyard. Strangely, a few days have passed, and there is not a bit of rancid smell, but a strong smell of spices.

Yu Mingyang immediately re-covered the bucket and said: "The carrion is mixed with the fragrance that cats like, I don't know what spices are used to mix it, combined with tonight's events, I found out that Miss Lanshang is a master of perfumery." It's really a real person who doesn't show his face! ”

Yu Mingyang sighed for a while, but Qi Niang heard the deep meaning. She was sick to her stomach and quickly carried Snowball out of the firewood room.

Yu Mingyang hurriedly chased out, "Little Seventh girl, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, I'm just a little uncomfortable, you invited the vet for the first two days, thank you." Before Qi Niang could say anything to Mingyang, she hurriedly left with a snowball.

The next day, Qi Niang sent Lan Sheng to Jingshui Village, and Lan Sheng did not go directly back to the original house, but took a small amount of luggage and stood in front of the grave on the edge of the cliff for a while.

She suddenly said, "Seventh sister, thank you for sending me back." Or the most intimate place that I am familiar with. Although it is deserted, I still have my father and mother with me. ”

Qi Niang was silent, watching Lan Shang's gaze become alienated and very complicated.

Feeling the indifference behind her, Lan Sheng smiled indifferently, "Seventh sister, this may be the last time we will meet, and I want to share my secret with you." ”

Lan Sheng turned around, and Qi Niang noticed that Lan Sheng was dressed more grandly than usual today, and her dark hair was full of all kinds of hairpins, all of which were bought by Bian Che, but she didn't see the one she gave to her on her head every day before. Because there are too many decorations, her already small head looks a little bulky. The goose egg that could be blown was also smeared with delicate makeup on his face, and his clothes were wearing gorgeous purple silk skirts, as if he was willing to wear all the glory and wealth he had obtained in the Jin family's courtyard on himself.

Lan Sheng showed a childlike smile, but under the cover of heavy makeup, it was difficult for Qi Niang to distinguish between real and fake. Lan Sheng said in her usual soft voice, "Seventh Sister should already know about spices." Originally, I didn't want to do anything to my sister's beloved cat, but the landlord was distracted by my sister, and I couldn't do anything to my sister, so I had to pity the cat. I know that the landlord has always disliked me, and he said that I was Lan Yi's sister, and if it weren't for my sister's sake, I would have died. Since that day, I have been jealous of the seventh sister, so I secretly added some special spices to the landlord's meal, a spice that makes men want to stop women, so the landlord naturally asked for my body. The landlord was very good to me, everything depended on me, I thought I got him, but slowly I found out that his heart was not in me at all, and his kindness to me was all done for my sister. I don't know why, probably, he doesn't know. After Lan Shang said this, her eyes were full of sadness and resentment.

"I have had a soft spot for spices since I was a child, probably an innate talent, and although my family was very poor and couldn't afford to buy spices, I learned a lot about how to make spices from books. When I was twelve years old, my chance came. Lan Shang's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said, "At that time, the old woman of Red Lotus Castle searched for beautiful and intelligent teenage girls to be granddaughters in poor houses, and I was found by their people, and I was reluctant to go with them. But their conditions were too tempting, saying that as long as I went, they would be able to make our family have no worries about food and clothing. It happened that there was a famine at that time, and my father and mother agreed to them without telling me. I heard that I like spices, so they sent someone to send a box of Helan incense, saying that they would pick me up in a month. ”

Qi Niang's heart gradually burst into a coldness for some reason, and a strikingly similar scene from the past appeared in front of her again, Hua Nianyun and the fourteen-year-old her first meeting, her life changed.

"Seventh Sister still thinks Lan Yi is my own sister." Lan Sheng said that, her smiling eyes swept to Qi Niang's face, and seeing Qi Niang's eyes widened, Lan Sheng seemed to be very satisfied, "Lan Yi has no blood relationship with our family, she is just a little beggar who almost died that my father and mother rescued." After my father and mother decided my life without authorization, a thought also came to me spontaneously. I begged them to adopt Rani so that they wouldn't be lonely when I was gone, so they did adopt Rani and made her my sister. I gave everything to Lan Yi, I ate and wore everything with her, Lan Yi is grateful to our family, and I see that she is eager to make us cows and horses in the next life. One day, Lan Yi and I went out to pick wild vegetables, and we were confronted by some little ruffians, and they called Lan Yi a wild seed, so I went up and pushed the boy who was in the lead, and the children threw stones at us and beat us with sticks, so that my head was bleeding and I fell unconscious. Later, I heard that I had a high fever and when I woke up, my eyes couldn't see. Originally, I just wanted Lan Yi to feel guilty about me and go to Red Lotus Fort instead of me, so I found a few boys who liked to bully Lan Yi on a daily basis, and told them that if they did what I said, I would find an opportunity to drug Lan Yi and let each of them touch Lan Yi. Hahaha, I didn't expect those hooligans to really agree. This time I don't have to leave my father and mother to go to that ghost place, which is exactly what I wanted, but Lan Yi didn't think so, she thought she had hurt me, and cried that she would go to Red Lotus Fort instead of me. My father and mother couldn't help it, so I asked Lan Yi to dress up like me, but Lan Yi was already sixteen years old at the time, and she couldn't be fooled at all. But God treats me well, I didn't expect Lan Yi to have martial arts, and the people of Red Lotus Fort took a fancy to her at once. ”

Lan Sheng smiled and leaned back, almost unable to control herself, "Yes, I found those people, who knew that those stupid people were too ignorant of the severity of their actions, and they didn't know how to stop in moderation." Oh yes, my blindness was also caused by myself, I secretly added sulfur to Helan incense, and I didn't practice it myself, but I hurt myself, which is also self-inflicted. Fortunately, there are Seventh Sister and Jiang Pavilion Master, who healed my eyes. Lan Sheng trembled with laughter.

Qi Niang's body trembled violently, her eyes seemed to be red as bloodshot, her hands were white, and a few words burst out of her mouth: "You madman!" ”
