"Girl! Big things are wrong! The boat didn't even have time to put away the umbrella, so it was still under the porch, and slammed open the door and rushed into the house. Lan Zhou looked at her with disgust: "What are you doing, the girl has an injury on her body, and she just fell asleep for a while!" ”

Shizhou said "oops", "Something is wrong!" ”

Qing Ruxu didn't sleep soundly, and dreamed of the scene of his murder, which was woken up by the sound of the two of them, and he gasped for a few breaths with palpitations, and asked out loud: "What's wrong?" Come in and talk back. "Because she was injured, she was ordered by the old lady to come back to rest, and she didn't know the situation in the Songhe Hall at all, and the chaos on the side of the Jingyou Pavilion naturally didn't spread here.

Shizhou entered the inner room and said, "It's the Jingyou Pavilion......" Before she finished speaking, Qing Ruxu straightened her neck suddenly, pulling the wound on her shoulder and gasping in pain, "Xiao Song ran away again?" ”

Shizhou has maintained a stunned look on his face since he heard the news, and he was even more shocked at this time, "She's dead!" ”

"What?"

The room was full of people froze, but Xiong Bao'er was the first to ask: "When I came back in the afternoon, I was still alive, why did I suddenly die?" ”

"It was said that the second girl was forced to die and broke into the quiet pavilion, and the mother and daughter had an argument inside, I don't know if it was a mistake or deliberately, the hairpin in the second girl's hand was pierced on Xiao Song's chest! Now the house is in chaos! ”

Qing Ruxu took a deep breath, still unable to believe it, "Help me up, I want to see it myself!" ”

Lan Zhou said: "Girl, you are still injured!" It is better for the slave and maid to go over and inquire carefully, and come back to tell the girl. ”

Qing Ruxu shook her head, insisted on getting up and putting on her clothes and went out. Everyone knows her character, and it is not complete. Lan Zhou found a thick head canopy again, so as not to get drenched in Qing Ruxu's wound.

The quiet pavilion in the heavy rain was particularly embarrassed, and many people gathered outside the courtyard in twos and threes, either frightened or curious. There was a lot of talking. "Just now when I passed by here, I heard a quarrel inside, it seems that the second girl is coming?"

"I saw the second girl rushing in despite the obstruction! With a hairpin in his hand, his neck is bleeding! ”

"Didn't you say that Madame was sick and was afraid of passing it on to others, so she wouldn't let anyone come closer? Why does the second girl have to see Madame? ”

Listening to her question, a maid next to her whispered: "The mother-in-law who was serving the lady inside suddenly screamed after the second girl went in, and ran out after a while, with 'murder' in her mouth!" ”

Qing Ruxu stood behind everyone and frowned when she heard this. Lan Zhou said loudly: "What are you doing here!" It's all gone! ”

When everyone turned around and saw Qing Ruxu coming, they hurriedly bowed their heads and saluted, but they didn't dare to speak anymore, and they walked away. Qing Ruxu entered the Jingyou Pavilion with a solemn face, and the old lady, Qing Hong, the third lady and Song Ting'an were all inside. And Qing Ruchu was pressed by the two mothers-in-law on the Luohan bed next to her at this time, and her body was still twitching involuntarily, obviously frightened.

Leng Lingyu was removing the porcelain piece that had been pierced into her back, and she didn't seem to feel any pain.

The old lady hurriedly said: "Why is Xu Er here, who is so deaf to God, you still have injuries on your body!" ”

Qing Ruxu bowed to everyone and said, "Grandmother, how can I not come." "It's about her biological mother, it's about the person who poisoned her, how could she not come.

The old lady sighed: "Good boy, grandmother is afraid that you will be scared, so don't go over to see it." ”

Qing Ruxu shook her head, she had even experienced her own death, how could she be afraid of other dead people, not to mention that she killed someone with her own hands last night...... Step by step, she walked towards the inner room, the door of the inner room was already open, and when she walked to the door, she saw Xiao Song's feet.

Further inside, Xiao Song's death appeared in Qing Ruxu's field of vision.

She couldn't help but clench the handkerchief in her hand, and shivered fiercely, she was really dead, Xiao Song was really dead! The golden hairpin was still tied to her chest, reflecting the yellow light of the candle flame, as if to show off that it had ended this life!

Qing Ruxu looked at Xiao Song's round eyes, a feeling of discomfort welled up in her stomach, she retched, and turned out of the inner room. Lan Zhou cast an inquiring look, and she waved her hand: "I'm fine." ”

Outside, Leng Lingyu had already taken out the fragments on Qing Ruchu's back that had been pierced into her clothes, and said: "The porcelain porcelain piece is relatively blunt, so the injury is not serious, but I suggest that the second girl be sent back to Du Ruoge first, and take off her clothes to treat the wound so as not to become infected and festering for a long time." ”

Qing Hong frowned and nodded, found someone to put on a dress for Qing Ruchu, and sent her back to Du Ruoge first.

"Daddy, what should I do?"

Qing Hong and Song Ting'an glanced at each other, and they were silent. After a moment, Qinghong opened his mouth and said, "I think, it's better to take this opportunity to put this matter on the bright side." ”

………………

The wind swept the ground, and the rain poured.

The white spirit flags rolled endlessly in the storm, and the entire Qing Mansion was white and quiet, shrouded in dense horror and slaughter. The panic still did not subside, except for the sound of rain, no one made the slightest sound, and the people running under the corridor all subconsciously put their toes on their toes, as if a little loud sound could wake up the coffin without looking at the corpse.

Xiao Song's death was sudden, everything had to be prepared from scratch, but the third lady was also extremely capable, and when the sky was flooded with the first dawn, everything was prepared.

The Song family was the first to arrive, but most of them didn't know why, they only knew that the house was robbed in the middle of the night, and Xiao Song got up to check that he was stabbed to death by the thief. Of course, Qing Ruxu would not come to kneel to kill his mother's murderer, and he was injured on his body, and he did not come out at this time, claiming to be frightened.

In the yard, the paper money was smashed by the rain and fell into the muddy water before it could fly. The third lady couldn't be busy alone, so she called Qing Ruxu's aunt Lin to help, "Sister-in-law, the county lord of Yongping and the Duchess of Rongguo will come in a while, don't send them to one place to sit down." ”

Because of Lin Yi and Xue Zhun's affairs, the Rongguo Mansion and the Xuanping Marquis Mansion had a very unpleasant quarrel, and the Lin family obviously knew about the festival between the two of them, and said, "Don't worry, I know." ”

When the lord of Yongping came, the mourning of the Qing Mansion had already begun.

Eight-year-old Qing Rudui knelt beside the coffin and wept while putting the paper money into the brazier, and the tongue of fire licked and devoured them until they burned to ashes. And Qing Ruchu was greatly frightened, and knelt there in a daze, unable to speak, motionless like a clay puppet sculpture. Someone stuffed a handful of paper money in her hand, and she didn't react.

Everyone thought that she was stimulated by the murder of her mother, but it did not arouse suspicion.

After the county lord of Yongping finished offering incense in front of the spirit, the Qing family thanked her, and the county lord of Yongping was very polite: "The incident happened suddenly, you must still have something to do, so you don't need to accompany me here." "Although there was some unhappiness before because of the matter of asking to marry Qing Ruxu, it has not yet reached the point of not getting along, let alone such a big event.

The third lady hurriedly said, "It's my business." ”

The county lord of Yongping entered the small hall and sat down, and Xuan Pinghou asked Qinghong about what happened. Knowing the cause and effect, he said with some anger: "In the capital, such an unbelievable thing can happen, what kind of bold bandit dares to enter the house of an important minister of the imperial court to commit murder!" ”

Qing Hong was silent, his eyes turned to look at the coffin placed in the mourning hall. "I have reported this matter to the emperor and asked the Imperial City Division to assist in investigating this case." claimed to the outside world that Xiao Song was killed by thieves, so that he could justifiably find suspicious people in the capital.

Xuan Pinghou heard him mention the Imperial City Division, his eyes flashed, and he said, "If there is anything you need help with, please let me know." ”

Qing Hong arched his hand and said, "Thank you." ”

In the mourning hall, the green smoke of gas in the brazier swirled around, making people feel uncomfortable. Seeing that the rain was getting lighter, many people gathered under the corridor to talk, talking about Xiao Song's death and being shocked by the robbers' audacity. Only the Duchess Rongguo stood aside with a dejected face and interjected unintentionally, her face did not look very good, her cheeks were sallow with a little shriveled, and the thick rouge could not cover it.

The wife of the Qin family saw her from a distance when she came out of the mourning hall with incense, walked over and pulled her aside, and asked, "It's not that you haven't been well these days, why did you come so early?" With your complexion, I'm afraid you'll have to take care of it for a while. ”

The Rongguo Mansion is the laughing stock of the entire capital, and recently Lin Sanye has also gone out separately, making a lot of noise. Mrs. Qin originally disdained to associate with a bad family like the Rongguo Mansion, but she was okay on the face and had a few contacts, but Qin Siyuan was demoted three levels before because of the murder of the Zhao family's tofu shop, and she was also a little excluded because of this, so she didn't care about picking at this time, and it was better for someone to talk than to stand there awkwardly.

Moreover, the Lin family and the Qin family, because of the opposition between Concubine Chen and Concubine Hui, are incompatible. Now there is a conflict between the Lin family's big house and the third room. The Qin family must take advantage of a loophole and reach out again to stir up this troubled water. Of course, Mrs. Qin wanted to approach the Duchess of Rongguo and inquire about the affairs of the Rongguo Mansion.

Fortunately, Duchess Rongguo didn't have any heart, and she didn't alienate her because of Qin Siyuan's affairs, she gave her a look on her face and said: "You don't know about the pair of bad things in my family, I am angry while recuperating, and if I can't keep up, eighty percent of them are about to die!" ”

Last time, she had a big quarrel with Rong Guogong because of her son Lin Yi, and Rong Guogong was taken to the front of the palace and scolded, and Sanfang was determined to part with Rong Guogong. Rong Guogong was completely disgusted with her, and deliberately went against her, intensifying his spoiling of his concubine and killing his wife, Rongguo Mansion is now in a miasma, how can she be good!

Mrs. Qin was startled when she heard her say such depressing words: "How did it come to this point?" Or is it because of that Aunt Qiu? ”

"Hmph, that little slut, if I die, I will definitely pull her on my back!"
