211. There is a debtor who is wronged
Su Luan wore this dark cloak and stood in the shadow of the bamboo forest in Xiyuan, quietly in front of a bystander.
The bell had been planned for the morning, and crept to the bottom of the cloister.
The north wind was blowing, and the doors and windows made a faint clicking sound. The bell grabbed the skirt of the wind as strong as a flag with one hand, and hooked the other hand violently towards the window lattice.
With a bang, the whistling north wind swooped down on the window lattice like a beast pounced on it, and poured into the chamber while it was whirring.
Sleeping in the wing room were the two old women brought out by Jiang Hongxuan from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the two of them were so frightened by the sound that they woke up suddenly, hurriedly lifted the quilt and put on their jackets, and pulled their shoes out of bed. As soon as he came out, he was shivered by the cold wind that poured in.
The two of them looked at each other, both of them looked blank, leaned to the window and looked into the cloister outside, only to see that the lanterns in the courtyard had been extinguished by the night wind, and there was no one outside. The only thing I could see was the shadows of the trees swaying in the wind, showing their teeth and dancing their claws, and swaying together.
Mrs. Zhang yawned and wrapped her jacket: "The wind is so strong tonight that even the window can be blown open, close it quickly!" It's too cold......"
Mrs. Li frowned: "I just felt as if I saw a figure." ”
Mrs. Zhang leaned to the window, looked left and right, and glanced at her: "Where is there a figure, I think you are sleepy!" Hurry up and go to bed, this young lady is very capable, and now our wives are all detained by her, and we have to be a little tighter these days. ”
Mrs. Li nodded and muttered, "Maybe it's my eyes that take ......."
As she spoke, she reached out and closed the window.
The two of them lay back on the couch, the chill on their bodies had just dissipated, and when they were drowsy, there was a loud "bang" from the window outside.
The two of them were excited, first glanced at each other, and then hurriedly turned over and got out of bed.
Mrs. Li looked at the corridor with her brain probed, but it was still empty. She felt a little apprehensive in her heart, licked her dry lips, took two steps back, and pulled the sleeve of her mother-in-law: "Something is wrong!" I bolted that window shut just now, how can it still be blown open by the wind?! ”
"You said you bolted the window?!" Mrs. Zhang stared at her.
Mrs. Li nodded, her eyes full of surprise: "You say, we shouldn't be in trouble with evil, right?!" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a white shadow flash in the courtyard, so fast that people could almost think that it was an illusion. She was stunned: "You...... Did you see that?! ”
"See what?!" Mrs. Zhang followed her gaze and found that there was nothing.
"I saw a figure just now, that'...... The bun ...... It's clearly the eldest lady's often combed hairstyle! Mrs. Li's voice trembled a little, and after speaking, she chattered: "Bodhisattva bless!" Bodhisattva bless! ”
Mrs. Zhang frowned, pulled her, leaned out and looked outside, where is there anyone?! Not even a ghost!
She retracted her body and said with two points of disdain: "I think you are the one who hit the evil spirit!" Where is there any figure, and the eldest lady, how many years has the eldest lady been dead, and it shouldn't be this time to come back if you want to take revenge! Besides, this injustice has a debtor and a master, you and I are just slaves, and the eldest lady can't find us! ”
"But......" Mrs. Li hesitated, "but I really saw it!" It's over there in the bamboo forest! ”
Mrs. Zhang glanced at her, and glanced towards the bamboo forest in disbelief, and this glance almost scared her guts. Cool Record Literature
"That's ...... That's ......" she gasped and stumbled with all her words.
At this moment, the white shadow shook violently, and then floated to her eyes, and the night wind blew the broken hair on her forehead, and her eyes were half-blind, deep and hollow.
As she got closer and closer, there was a clang, and the door that had been closed was suddenly blown open by the wind.
The two of them, who had lost their shelter, were suddenly frightened, and couldn't help but take a few steps back, leaning against the base of the wall, trembling all over.
Just when the white shadow floated to the door, Mrs. Li knelt down suddenly, clasped her hands, and prayed in a trembling voice while kowtowing: "Miss, spare your life, miss spare your life!" The old lady has never done anything that can't stand you, there is a debtor and a master, if the eldest lady has a grievance, go to the second lady! Right! Go find the second lady......"
As soon as the words of mercy fell, the originally fluttering white shadow was first stunned, and then gradually drifted away.
Mrs. Zhang stared, clutching her throbbing chest like a drum, and said in surprise: "Gone?!" ”
Mrs. Li's shoulders collapsed, she breathed a long sigh of relief and nodded.
The two of them collapsed on the ground for a long time before they got up and closed the window and door.
In the bamboo forest, Su Luan hooked his lips and smiled, and patted the bell on the shoulder approvingly: "Well done!" That's what you want! ”
The next day, the news of the haunting of Xiyuan spread in the mansion.
Mrs. Li carried a basin of freshly washed clothes, and hurriedly walked to the yard, and saw Mrs. Zhang hurriedly asking, "What happened last night, but you told someone?!" ”
Mrs. Zhang glanced at her, shook her head, covered her mouth and said in a low voice: "I heard that there was a disturbance at the other end of the people's room last night, and many people saw it......"
When Mrs. Li heard this, her face turned pale, her hands couldn't help shaking twice, she swallowed and salivaed: "I just said that the eldest lady died strangely back then, no, she really came back to take revenge, how is this good......"
Mrs. Zhang's eyes flickered, and she froze: "You and I didn't go through the things of the year, and after that incident, Ruyi got married." In my opinion, where is that person married, I'm afraid that the second lady will give ......"
Seeing that she was open-mouthed, Mrs. Li hurriedly tugged on her jacket sleeve: "The master's business, it's not something that we subordinates can talk nonsense!" ”
Mrs. Zhang glanced at the family who was sweeping the snow last night, and hurriedly slapped herself in the mouth, and said: "Yes, yes, my wife, my stinky mouth, I really should be beaten, I should be beaten!" ”
And it was not only the family in the courtyard who heard the conversation between the two people, but also Qin Xiang who was standing around the corner. She happened to be standing under the porch, and naturally heard the words of the two of them clearly. For a while, a chill arose in her heart, her fingers unconsciously clutched the cuffs, and her eyes became in a trance.
What happened back then......
Wishful......
No! Those have nothing to do with her! She didn't do anything!
She took a deep breath and hurried into the room, closing the door tightly. She clutched the hem of her clothes tightly with her hands, trying to calm her frantically beating heart, but the feeling of weakness was like an invisible hand, firmly grasping her, making it impossible for her to break free.
