Hsu Mansion.

The fire in Jingyi Courtyard was about to be extinguished, and the embarrassed Xu Shen ignored the dissuasion of the old lady Xu behind him, and walked towards the main courtyard with a long sword with red eyes and murderous eyes.

Old Madam Xu staggered after Xu Shen, she seemed to be ten years old overnight, with her hair disheveled, her clothes messy, and even traces of being burned by fire.

"Shen'er, you stop!" Old Madam Xu was anxious and tired, no longer as graceful and noble as before, and shouted in a hoarse voice.

Xu Shen, who was walking farther and faster in front of him, didn't seem to hear it, turned around the verandah, and soon disappeared.

Old Madam Xu was so frightened that her hands were shaking, "Hurry up, you guys don't care about me, catch up first, you must stop Xiangye, don't let him do stupid things!" ”

Immediately, a mother-in-law answered and hurriedly chased after her.

Old Madam Xu cried out with tears streaming down her face while leaning on crutches: "God, what the hell is going on? Old lady, you must bless Shen'er in the spirit of heaven, don't let him ruin his future and ruin the reputation of our Xu Mansion! ”

Old Madam Xu's terrible shouts did not reach Xu Shen's ears, in fact, Xu Shen now, he can't hear anything in his ears.

He carried a long sword, and rushed into the main courtyard in the panic and frightened shouts of the maid, and everyone saw him rushing over like a terrible ghost asking for his life, and no one dared to step forward to stop him, and they all screamed and dodged around.

These maids and daughters have only been bought in the house for a long time, and not only do they not have much deep friendship with the Liu family, but because of Liu's increasingly eccentric and mean temper, these maids and women are very afraid of her.

Because of this, Xu Shen rushed in like a god, and killed in front of the Liu family as if he had entered a no-man's land.

Liu was dressed in red and was sitting quietly at the dressing table to make up.

Hearing the movement behind her, she didn't look back, her fingers firmly pasted the gold leaf on her forehead behind her forehead, and then she slowly turned around and looked at Xu Shen, who was approaching with a long sword in his hand, with a look of slaughter and pain.

She stood up, the thin silver tassel hanging from the purple mandarin duck hairpin on her bun cut a beautiful arc in the air, and the red lips painted with bright red lipstick were small and beautiful.

She didn't seem to see the cold glittering long sword in Xu Shen's hand, and looked at him with a smile: "Husband, I look good when I'm dressed like this today?" ”

She turned around slightly, and her bright makeup and bright red skirt set off her bright light, which made people almost unable to open their eyes.

However, no matter how gorgeous she dressed, Xu Shen's disgusting and hateful gaze did not change in the slightest.

In a hoarse voice wounded by smoke, he asked harshly, "Why do you do this?" ”

As if she hadn't heard, Liu raised her hand, revealing a snow-white wrist, touched the delicate purple mandarin duck hairpin on her head, and asked Xu Shen with a chuckle: "Does the husband remember this hairpin?" This is when you and I got married, you asked someone to send it to my house, I was happy to see it, and I was reluctant to wear it on weekdays, for fear of damaging it in the slightest - you see, is it still the same as it was at the beginning? There is also this dress, you say that I have a white complexion and look good in red, but I always feel that the housewife is too glamorous and frivolous. ”

"Since you entered the Xu Mansion, Xiangxiang respects you and respects you and treats you as a real relative! What did you do to her? Kill her again and again! Liu Qiaoqin, I only hate that I didn't kill you in the first place! Xu Shen's eyes were red with hatred, and he approached Liu step by step.

After Xiangxiang woke up, he should have killed her to prevent future troubles!

Liu, who was still smiling, heard this, as if he had heard a big joke, and laughed. She smiled and bent down, as if she couldn't stand, and could only hold on to the dresser to stabilize her body.

"Respect me? That little slut really respects me and respects me, how can he shamelessly seduce my husband and her brother? I hate me for digging out my heart and lungs, treating her like a sister, that shameless slut, that's how she repays me? I only hate, I didn't burn her sooner! After laughing maniacally, Liu said with a hideous and twisted face.

She also stared at Xu Shen with hatred, and even the green tendons on her white neck were clearly visible.

"You like that little slut so much, why didn't you rush in and die with her? When you get to the bottom of the Yellow Spring, you may be able to make a pair of mandarin ducks, but no one will come to break you up at that time to embarrass you! Why don't you die? Why don't you die! Ha ha! ”

Liu Shi laughed wildly again, suddenly raised his arm and pointed, and pointed his finger painted with bright red Kodan pointed directly at Xu Shen: "You are afraid of death!" Xu Shen, you are also a villain with the wrong mouth. Who pretended to be so affectionate and desperate? It's really so affectionate, so like, you just let her go! Why don't you go along? Aren't you crazy in love with her? Hahaha, your love is nothing more than that! ”

She looked at Xu Shen with contempt and madness in her eyes, "Isn't that slut fateful?" Even though she is dead, she can still be rescued by you with witchcraft, and now I have burned her to ashes with a fire, and she is not even skinned, I think what else can you do? ”

Xu Shen's eyes were even redder, his face was as white as paper, the masseter muscles on his cheeks were raised high, and he stared at Liu Qiaoqin, who was crazy in front of him, with a thick sadness and hatred in his eyes.

"You hate me? Why do you hate me? Liu Qiaoqin sneered, as if she was tired of laughing, she sat down on the dressing table, "It was your Xu family who came to propose marriage, and Shili Red Makeup welcomed me into the gate of Xu's mansion." It was you Xu Shen who told me on the wedding night that you would pity me and treat me well. It is also you Xu Shen who asked me to be filial to my mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and you said that my sister and mother died early, which is very pitiful, and I will always be considerate everywhere. She was sick, and it was I who guarded her. The servants in the house bullied her and stepped on her because of her mother-in-law's attitude, and I was the one who stood up for her. Because you Xu Shen said that she is our family, I have no doubt that we will treat each other wholeheartedly-"

She suddenly became calm, as if the previous grievances had disappeared with the wind, she looked up at Xu Shen and smiled, that smile was not as hysterical and crazy as Fang Cai, but there was no business, obviously there was a gorgeous and unparalleled beauty in front of her, but it gave people the illusion of a twilight year.

"But what do you give me in return? It is my husband who deceives me and deceives me, and it is the slut I regard as my sister who turns his back on me. ”

"You're wrong, Xiangxiang never knew my feelings for her." Xu Shen finally spoke again, and after the sharp hatred in his body gradually faded, the whole person seemed to be overwhelmed and took a step back, the long sword in his hand fell to the ground, and he said in a dumb voice: "The person who deceived you and deceived you is me." ”

Liu Shi smiled lightly, looking at Xu Shen as if he was pitying and mocking: "She doesn't know? If she didn't know, how could she deliberately damage her body, just to stay in the Xu Mansion, just to not marry someone else? ”

Xu Shen was stunned.

"The last time she fell into the water, you always thought that I pushed her into the water, right?" Seeing his stunned expression, Liu couldn't help but smile again, she raised her hand and pressed the corner of her forehead, as if she was a little tired, "Actually, it does have something to do with me, I found the secret that she is always sick repeatedly, and asked her why she is like this?" She panicked and ashamed, and somehow jumped into the lake—"

"She ......" Xu Shen staggered back again: "She jumped down by herself......"

"You can also think that I forced her to jump, anyway, it doesn't make much difference now." Liu laughed again: "Now, you can't save her anymore." Xu Shen, the first person to be sorry for me is you, and I can be regarded as avenging myself, and so far, I have no regrets. ”

In her faint smile, there seemed to be a sense of relief.

Xu Shen seemed to feel something, his black eyes shrank suddenly, and he hurriedly walked towards her.

Liu suddenly coughed, and when he opened his mouth, a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Her body is like a begonia flower in full bloom, from extremely gorgeous to withering and falling in an instant, and the blood that continues to flow out of her mouth stains her red clothes, poignant and poignant as if she is not a real person.

Xu Shenfei pounced and caught her fallen body.

He stretched out his hands and hugged Liu's body tremblingly.

She was covered in blood, as if the blood in her whole body was about to flow out of her mouth, and drops of blood gathered at Xu Shen's feet.

Liu Shi looked at Xu Shen who was close at hand, and his face finally showed surprise and helplessness because of her.

She smiled, but her eyes slowly lost focus.

"So be it." Her voice was as light as a breeze, but a small smile tugged at the corner of her mouth.

"Ah Qin? Aqin! Xu Shen's heart was in turmoil, obviously he wanted to kill him with his own hands a moment ago. really died in front of him, but he was all messed up, "Don't sleep!" Don't close your eyes! You look at me, what the hell have you eaten? Come on, come on! Call the Imperial Doctor! ”

He reached out and covered her mouth, which was bleeding from the water, but the blood was still pouring out of his fingers, but in an instant his hands were red.

But the man in his arms did not say anything again.

"Someone, call the imperial doctor to hear it!" Xu Shen shouted with all his might.

The clear night sky suddenly dimmed, and the moon, which radiated the clear moonlight, was gradually obscured by the clouds and disappeared.

Xu Shen's knees suddenly bent and he knelt straight on the ground.

He burst out laughing, tears rolling in his eyes.

Eventually, the laughter turned into a whining voice.

……

Wen Xiang heard the news of Xu Xiang's wife's death in the middle of the night, she was frightened at that time, and asked Song Nanzhou with a blank face: "Xu Xiang's little brother, ...... He killed his wife? ”

Because the Liu family set fire to Xu Wenxiang, Xu Xiang's little brother killed her in a fit of rage, and then announced that she died of illness to hide her eyes?

Song Nanzhou went out just now, Wen Xiang only went to the toilet when he went to the toilet, but when he came back, he heard such a big news, and she almost flew out of the sky.

"Liu committed suicide by taking poison." Song Nanzhou lay back on the bed and said to Wen Xiang who was placed on the head of the bed: "It must be the poison that was taken after setting the fire." ”

Wen Xiang was in a complicated mood and couldn't speak for a long time.

"How?" Song Nanzhou didn't understand her silence.

Wen Xiang sighed: "Why is she bothering?" ”

Song Nanzhou said lightly: "Love is deep, hate is cut." ”

"No matter what, you shouldn't put your life on the line." Wen Xiang still has no way to understand Liu's extreme approach, "Hate because of love, is she hating Xu Wenxiang or Xu Shen?" ”

Song Nanzhou was silent: "Naturally, both of them hate." ”

"Then why didn't she simply burn Xu Shen to death?"

"Even if you die, you don't want to fulfill him and Xu Wenxiang?" Song Nanzhou guessed casually.

Wen Xiang was stunned, is it possible that this is the truth?

She felt inexplicably very heavy and didn't know what to say.

"The Liu family has received the news and is rushing to the Xu Mansion at this time."

"Little brother Xu Xiang is in big trouble this time, right?" Wen Xiang couldn't help but worry.

The daughter of the Liu family died in Xu's mansion, and she still died of poisoning - although she committed suicide by taking poison herself, it seems that Xu Xiang's little brother has never dealt with her own Yue's family, and this time it will definitely make a big fuss.

"Not necessarily." Song Nanzhou said lightly, "Xu Shen is investigating the Liu family, and he has a lot of evidence of the Liu family's crimes in hand. ”

Wen Xiang gasped, "He wants to use this to threaten the Liu family not to make trouble?" Unless he destroys these incriminating evidence, the Liu family, who jumped over the wall in a hurry, will never easily let go of this opportunity to make trouble, and maybe he will drag Xu Xiang's little brother with him to ...... to death."

"What are you worried about, Prime Minister Xu must have planned this matter, and wait for the news."

Wen Xiang hadn't recovered from this shocking news yet, "What...... And died? This is human life, how many people can't live if they want to, why do they die? ”

Song Nanzhou couldn't answer her question, of course he could hear that she was the person she said couldn't live if she wanted to.

He thought for a moment and asked Wen Xiang, who was obviously depressed, "Didn't you always want to know if the person who harmed Xu Wenxiang last time was the Liu family?" ”

Wen Xiang barely cheered up: "Is it her?" ”

Song Nanzhou told Xu Wenxiang about jumping into the lake by herself.

Wen Xiang was dumbfounded when she heard this, "So Xu Wenxiang is actually secretly in love with Xu Xiang?" Because she was afraid that she would not be able to see Xu Shen every day after she got married, she ...... Just toss your body repeatedly? ”

Her frailty and illness are the result of her own tossing?

Wen Xiang didn't know what to say.

When Liu discovered Xu Wenxiang's secret, he was naturally angry - think about it, the sister-in-law who he took care of with all his heart and soul secretly liked his husband, and all kinds of signs showed that his husband also liked his sister-in-law, this kind of double betrayal - it was good that Liu was not mad.

However, in the end, Liu set fire and committed suicide by taking poison, which still shows that Liu has actually gone crazy.

"Only if you are not in good health, you can't talk about marriage." Song Nanzhou's voice was low and slow in the dark, "Xu Wenxiang threw herself into the lake, in fact, it can be seen that she has no intention of hurting the Liu family. Because he was found out and ashamed, he would apologize with death? ”

Even Song Nanzhou didn't think that Xu Wenxiang's jumping into the lake was a scheming calculation, Wen Xiang remembered that time, she couldn't control her body and watched and felt Xu Wenxiang's farewell and reluctance to Xu Shen, and she also agreed with Song Nanzhou's opinion of Xu Wenxiang - she was not a bad girl.

Xu Wenxiang and Xu Shen, they can be regarded as very restrained in their feelings.

That time, Xu Shen hugged her and kissed her, and said ecstatically that he had finally waited - Wen Xiang guessed that Xu Shen might have been silently giving his feelings, but Xu Wenxiang did not respond to him.

And Xu Wenxiang would rather toss her body than marry her, and jumped into the lake in shame after the truth was exposed by the Liu family, and it is not difficult to see that she actually admires her nominal brother in her heart.

Wen Xiang didn't know what to say for their relationship, but there was one thing she still wanted to say: "It's hard to say that Xu Wenxiang is innocent, but that Liu, although she did something wrong, I think she is actually the most innocent one." ”

Song Nanzhou looked at Wen Xiang with a fool-like look: "How do you say this?" ”

"When Xu Xiang married Liu, if he was just a brother and sister to Xu Wenxiang at that time, then Xu Xiang cheated after marriage, was he the one who was wrong? If Xu Xiang already had unspeakable feelings for Xu Wenxiang before marrying Liu, then he would not be wrong but a scumbag - it is unforgivable to marry someone else even though he has love in his heart! ”

Song Nanzhou hooked his lips almost invisibly in the dark: "Therefore, no matter what, the three of them, Xu Xiang's fault is beyond doubt?" ”

It seems that the same can be said for the same? Wen Xiang was a little inexplicable, how could she convict Xu Xiang's little brother while talking? Just now, she obviously thought that Xu Xiang's little brother was also quite pitiful......

"Actually, there is another person here, she is really innocent." Song Nanzhou didn't give Wen Xiang a chance to sort it out, so he said again.

Wen Xiang's mind was messing up, and after hearing this, she simply threw away all the paste in her brain, and asked him curiously, "Who else?" ”

Song Nanzhou raised his eyes to look at her: "If it weren't for Xu Xiang's half-heartedness, Xu Wenxiang would not have jumped into the lake in shame and made life and death unknown, Xu Xiang would not have found an old monk to change his life in order to save her back, but finally brought the most innocent you here." ”

Wen Xiang was stunned for a moment, and almost wanted to slap her thigh: "It's not!" I'm the most innocent and unlucky one! The love, hatred, grievances, and grievances of the three of them, and in the end, I am the innocent wrongdoer. Alas! ”

So all of this is the fault of Xu Xiang's little brother?

Wen Xiang, who came to this conclusion, was even more confused.

But it was rare for Song Nanzhou to stand on her side, and said that she was innocent, Wen Xiang almost looked at him differently, "Forget it, don't think about it, it's their grudge, I can't care about my death now, even if I want to." ”

Although he somehow came to the conclusion that Xu Xiang's little brother was the culprit, these days, Xu Xiang's little brother's care and love for her made Wen Xiang unable to ignore his situation. But no matter how anxious she is, no matter how worried she is about Xu Xiang's situation, her handless and footless ring can't help Xu Xiang.

But—

"Little Brother Shizi, why are you staring at Little Brother Xu Xiang?" Wen Xiang couldn't help but be curious, Song Nanzhou not only planted people in Xu's Mansion, but also kept an eye on Xu's movements at all times, Xu's population was simple, except for Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu, who were Xu Xiang's little brother, Song Nanzhou placed people into Xu's Mansion, it could not be for the women in the house who were not even willing to go out to socialize.

Song Nanzhou didn't answer and asked: "What do you think is the reason?" ”

Wen Xiang knew that he was not willing to answer this question. Secretly pouting, she won't dwell on this issue more.

Seeing that Wen Xiang stopped talking, Song Nanzhou turned over: "Sleep." ”

……

When everyone in the Liu family received the news, they made a fuss to the Xu Mansion where white flags and white lanterns had been hung. The Xu Mansion was full of plain water, and the servants wearing filial piety clothes saw that the Liu family rushed into the mansion angrily, and their expressions were quite calm, and they welcomed people in.

"My lord, my uncle, our old lady is waiting."

It was Scholar Liu and his sons who came, and after hearing this, Scholar Liu, who had an ugly face, asked coldly: "Your old lady is waiting for us, where did you go?" ”

"Where Xiangye has gone, how can these minions under us know? If you have any questions, you might as well ask our old lady. Although the minion looked respectful, this attitude of not being soft or hard made Scholar Liu frown slightly.

The sons of the Liu family naturally sensed that something was wrong and looked at their old father one after another.

Scholar Liu sneered: "My daughter of the Liu family died in your prime minister's mansion for no reason, so we naturally have to ask for a clear understanding!" Your old lady is a lady in the inner courtyard, it is inconvenient to see each other like this, and take us to your grandfather's study first, and wait for your grandfather to return to the house before talking. Let's go—"

As Xu Shen's father-in-law, Scholar Liu naturally knew where Xu Shen's study was, so he would take the lead in walking to the study.

The sons of the Liu family immediately understood what the old father meant, and the elder brother was gearing up, just waiting to enter Xu Shen's study, and destroy all the criminal evidence that was unfavorable to the Liu family!

Mrs. Xu, who was wearing plain clothes, rushed over surrounded by the maid and mother-in-law, "Master of the family, why didn't the lady of the family come over?" ”

Scholar Liu looked at Mrs. Xu, who was standing under the white lantern, dressed solemnly, although she was not wearing filial piety clothes, she also wore a small white flower on her bun. His eyes were red and swollen, and his face was full of grief and sorrow.

"Qiao'er and her mother heard the bad news, even if she was unconscious." Scholar Liu said coldly: "Since the old lady is here, the old man has to ask, where is my Liu Mansion against Xu Mansion, and where is my Qiao'er not against Xu Mansion, why did she die at a young age in Xu Mansion?" ”

As he spoke, his eyes were already red, and old tears flowed.

Seeing his father choked, Uncle Liu immediately continued with grief and indignation: "My sister has always been strong, and she has never had a cough in Su Ri, how can she suddenly fall ill?" In my opinion, it must have been your Xu family who forced our sister to death! Today, your Xu family must give our Liu family an explanation, otherwise, this matter will not be over! ”

"That's right!" The second master of the Liu family also followed: "At this moment, the family members of the Xu Mansion are not in the mansion, and even the minions in the mansion don't know where to go. Old Madam Xu, you told us, what is Xu Xiang busy with at this time? Is that more important than his own dead wife? ”

"My lord, my uncle." Old Madam Xu looked solemn: "I understand the pain of losing your daughter and sister. But you can't just come to the door and say with red lips and white teeth, our Xu Mansion forced your girl to death. Everyone, please come with me—"

After Mrs. Xu finished speaking, she led the way with a cold face.

Everyone in the Liu family looked at each other and looked at their old father, Scholar Liu.

Scholar Liu's gloomy eyes stared at Mrs. Xu's thin but straight back, grinding his teeth and saying, "Then follow up and take a look!" ”

There were two coffins in the mourning hall that had already been arranged, and Old Madam Xu walked straight to one of them, tears flowed down her face, and her face was replaced by a sad face: "Please come and take a look." ”

Everyone in the Liu family didn't know why, Liu Siye couldn't hold his breath, took the lead and walked up, looked inside, and was suddenly frightened, "Mother", kicked back three steps, and was supported by his brothers.

Seeing that his face was as pale as a ghost, the Liu family hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" It's a little sister inside? ”

"No...... No. Liu Siye was trembling and couldn't say a complete word, his tongue seemed to be frozen in his mouth, and the scene just now kept coming to his mind, making him scared and disgusting.

Uncle Liu and Second Master Liu couldn't say why he came for a long time, the two looked at each other, and simply stepped forward together, looked at it, and quickly retracted his head, Second Master Liu couldn't bear to lie aside and vomited.

Uncle Liu finally stabilized, and he didn't make a fool of himself in public like his two younger brothers, but his face was still pale, and he pointed to the coffin and asked Mrs. Xu, who couldn't help crying: "This, this is the little sister?" ”

It's not that the little sister committed suicide by taking poison...... Yes, the fire in Xufu was seen by most of the capital. Could it be that this burned to death is ...... Xu Shen?

Master Liu was frightened by his own conjecture and his legs weakened, if the black and slimy corpse in the coffin that couldn't even be identified was really Xu Shen's, if Xu Shen was really burned to death by his own little sister, then the sky was really going to fall.

Xu Shen is a member of the first rank of the dynasty, and he is Emperor Jing's confidant, and their Liu family will definitely pay a painful price for this disaster!

"This is my poor daughter!" Mrs. Xu hid her face and cried bitterly, as soon as the handkerchief dipped in chili water touched her eyes, tears rolled out, she held the coffin with one hand, bent over and cried bitterly: "What did my poor child do wrong, why did he end up like this?" Lord Liu, ladies and gentlemen, you came to my Xu Mansion to seek justice for your girl, where should our girl go to seek justice? ”

Hearing this, Scholar Liu was not quite right, and after glancing at Da'er, Uncle Liu returned to him in a few steps and told Scholar Liu what he had just seen. Just now he thought that the person inside was Xu Shen, but this time after listening to Mrs. Xu's words, he knew that it was the girl from Xu's mansion who died, and his tone was a little more relaxed.

Scholar Liu frowned and said, "My daughter had an accident in your Xu Mansion, but your daughter had an accident in her own home. What does the old lady mean by this, is it not to push your daughter's death onto my daughter? ”

"You're saying I framed your daughter?" Old Madam Xu had red eyes and trembled with anger: "Boss, my Xu Mansion has reached this point, and I am still maintaining the face of your Liu family, and I only say to the outside world that the Liu family has a sudden illness." The real reason, you Liu family really don't know anything? The good daughter of your Liu family raised set fire to the girl of our Xu family, and then committed suicide in fear of sin! If you really want to seek justice, it is also our Xu family who is looking for your Liu family to seek justice! If Lord Liu is not afraid that things will make a big trouble, I will let people carry the corpse to the yamen to shout injustice - the merits will be judged by the yamen! ”
