"What are you playing with?"

Liu Yuanwai impatiently pushed open the door. He wanted to be angry at Frost again, but when he saw the bright red liquid flowing from the bed to the floor, he panicked.

"You... What's the matter with you!? He lunged forward, grabbed her long hair, and dragged it hard.

"Called... Call the doctor... Beg... Please—" Frost frowned in pain. She groaned sadly, begging in her heart for a little kindness from the person in front of her.

"Bad luck!" Liu Yuanwai scolded angrily, turned around and slammed the door again.

There was a look of despair in Frost's eyes. Myself... Is this considered gone?

Her eyes were full of sorrow, and she gently stroked her abdomen, which she didn't know if it was because of the pain caused by the man's beating, or because the child was gone, and hung her head numbly.

Shuang'er felt that her whole body was gradually weak, and she collapsed on the bed, staring blankly at the big red surroundings, and slowly lost consciousness.

Well...

When she woke up, she found herself still lying on the familiar and unfamiliar bed, and her abdomen still ached.

Scold... It turns out that last night's was not a nightmare...

Frost smiled self-deprecatingly. She turned her head and found that she had a silver thread wrapped around her wrist at some point. The bed curtain had been lowered, and there were two figures outside, as if they were talking about something.

What are they talking about?

Never mind... I don't want to worry about it anymore. Yesterday's blood... Should be... Right? Hehe... Why? Why? I'm supposed to be happy... Hate... Who should I hate... Who should I blame... Or rather, it's all self-inflicted...

Gently, she covered her eyes with her other arm.

The tears in the corners of his eyes, unstoppable flowing, soaked the pillow under him.

...

"How is she?"

Liu Yuanwai asked unconsciously.

"Back to my lord, my wife was extremely emotionally unstable, and she was hit hard in the abdomen, and the fetus in her womb... Alas..."The old doctor really thought that it was a concubine in a certain room outside Liu Yuanwai lying on the bed, so he said so.

"A fetus in the womb? Is she pregnant? Liu Yuanwai asked strangely.

"Yes, are you—" The old doctor was stunned. He subconsciously felt as if he knew something terrible.

He glanced at the bed a little uncomfortably, and then looked at Liu Yuanwai, and only felt funny in his heart. Could it be that this lady was stealing people outside and was bumped into by Liu Yuanwai, and she was beaten like this in a fit of anger? And then I felt that I couldn't go, so I invited myself?

As everyone knows, all this is just wishful thinking on the part of the old doctor.

Liu Yuanwai didn't notice his expression, just frowned and thought about something.

This woman actually

Pregnant? Does she know it herself? Why would she be so willing to replace the girl named Xiyan so willing to die? What is the relationship between the two? Also, what is the background of this woman's husband?

None of this is known.

If the man knew that he was in a fit of rage and let him go, wouldn't he be looking for himself desperately?

The man didn't have any identity, so he sent away a few dollars. If there are some powerful people... It's troublesome.

"That's... "When the old doctor saw Liu Yuan's fugue, he thought that he was angry because of his words. He asked Liu Yuanwai in a trembling and frightened manner. "Do you want to protect your lord?"

"Whatever." Liu Yuanwai waved his hand indifferently, suddenly woke up, and asked, "What did you say?" Paula-sama? What do you mean? ”

"That's... Because of the lack of blood and energy of the lady, coupled with the lack of children, she is emotionally unstable, and she is on the verge of life..."The old doctor swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Is she going to die?" Liu Yuanwai was taken aback.

It's nothing if a person dies, but what is the background of this woman, I don't know. If there is such an unknown death in this house... According to the Law of the Great Beam... I'm going to lose my life...!

I haven't lived enough!

"Yes, it's just a matter of the next few days. Of course, if you are willing to spend a lot of money on some tonics, maybe Madame has a chance to live. ”

"Alright, I got it. You go first! That's right! Go to the account office to get the money, and you are not allowed to spit out a word about today's affairs. Otherwise... Hello for yourself. Liu Yuanwai threatened him viciously.

"Old... The old man understood. The old doctor's hand shook in fright, and the silver thread fell off Frost's wrist and fell to the ground.

He felt the pulseless silver thread, but he was stunned.

He turned his head to look at the silver thread and smiled. It turned out to be falling to the ground, that is, how could you not feel the pulse beating.

The old doctor packed up the things he was carrying, lifted the medicine box, bowed slightly to Liu Yuanwai, and slowly walked out of the Liu Mansion Courtyard.

And Liu Yuanwai also parted the bed curtains to both sides, looked at Shuang'er who was lying on the bed, his face was pale, his breath was weak, and his eyes were full of resentment, and he smiled slightly: "You heard the doctor's words before, right?" I don't embarrass you, master, whether you go out by yourself or I send you out, you choose. Don't die here anyway. ”

"Phew! I'm not uncommon to live with you! Frost spat at him weakly. She held her stomach with one hand and the side of the bed with the other, slowly got up, helped the thing that could be supported, and moved step by step, towards the door.

Liu Yuanwai just looked at it coldly, and didn't have the slightest intention of stepping forward to help.

At this moment, a man covered in armor ran over and inadvertently bumped Frost's shoulder.

"Hmm!" Shuang'er frowned in pain, but didn't look back

Walking through the small trees, he walked out the door.

"I'm sorry." The man turned around and apologized, but Frost ignored him. "Huh?"

What an uncultured woman.

"Hu Guan, you're here! There's no good tea to entertain you here, old boy, and I'm going to ask someone to clean up the house. Liu Yuanwai laughed and stepped forward to shake the hand of the man known as Hu Guan.

"I'm not here for tea today." The man, known as Hu Guan, shook his head and took out a somewhat worn roll of yellow paper from his waist. "This is a document sent from there a few days ago, and I searched from house to house, but I couldn't find anyone who matched the appearance on the paper. Yesterday, it occurred to me that you have a lot of information here, so I came here to ask. ”

"Payment?" Liu Yuanwai looked at the yellow paper suspiciously, "I'll take a look, but there should be no result." By the way, this payment should have been a few months ago, right? It's so old. How did you get here? ”

The corners of Hu Guan's mouth twitched. "The person who delivered the document was delayed for some days because his horse fell a few days ago, and he broke his foot, so he sent it to the person who should have arrived on the fifteenth, and wasted a month or two in vain."

"I see." Liu Yuanwai nodded suddenly, "How about showing me?" ”

"Hmm. In other words, most of the people on the payment document were caught, but there were five people, and they couldn't find anything. So I came to these places to try my luck. ”

"What background do they have?" Liu Yuanwai likes to ask such a sentence. He always has to consider the other party's background, otherwise one day he will provoke someone he can't afford to provoke, and he won't know how he died.

"Hmm... Two of them were just civilians who made some minor mistakes and were locked in. There are three people with a bit of a big background, so I'll give you a heads-up first, so you don't get scared. Hu Guan spread out the paper, on which were the portraits of five people.

He pointed to one of the men with a handsome face, who looked like a scholar, and said, "This is the second prince of the former Northern Capital, named Xia Yujin." He pointed to a woman's head and said, "This is the maid of the second lady of the former Chaomu Shogunate." Another. He paused, pointed to the last one, even if it was just a stick figure, he could see a beautiful woman and said, "This is Miss Mu Er from the former Chao Mu Mansion." ”

For some reason, he concealed the fact that the maid was now the young lady of the Xiao family. After all, how can a maid become a young lady? Isn't it funny?

Hu Guan wanted to say something, but he subconsciously felt that there was no sound next to him.

He looked at Liu Yuanwai, who seemed to be in a state of stupefaction, and poked him: "What's wrong?" Has anyone seen it? ”

"I..." Liu Yuanwai was shocked when he saw the portrait for the first time.

The woman who gave birth yesterday looked seven or eight points like the maid in the portrait.

And that second lady... The appearance of the woman called Xiyan in the breeze is simply the face of the second lady who has grown up... This... Could it be this

Both of them were bumped into by themselves?

He twitched the corners of his mouth and looked at Hu Guan: "You... Don't you think the woman who just left is a little familiar? ”

"Familiar?" Hu Guan was slightly stunned. "No, you mean—" He glanced at the paper a few times before asking uncertainly, "Isn't it?!" ”

Liu Yuanwai nodded affirmatively.

"You've done a great job!" Hu Guan laughed, "Do you know! What was the result of these female prisoners' escapes? ”

"What is it?" Liu Yuanwai shook his head, "I really don't know." "No matter how well-connected he is, he can't reach into that gloomy prison.

"Hanging!" Hu Guan's eyes showed a gloomy gaze. "If you dare to escape from prison, you must bear the punishment after being caught!"

I'm a mother... Liu Yuanwai sat on the ground in fright. He was a little scared.

If you really marry that Xiyan... According to the Liang's method of sitting together, he will also be hanged... Thank goodness, thank goodness ...

He kept chanting in his heart, thanking Guanyin and the Buddha.

"That's it! Tomorrow you will wait to go to the vegetable market and see how the female prisoner is hanged! Hu Guan patted him on the shoulder and strode in the direction where Shuang'er had left.

Besides, Shuang'er, because of the severe pain in her abdomen and her physical and mental exhaustion, she did not leave Liu's Mansion far.

"The woman! Hold it! Behind her, there was an angry shout.
