Where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes.

Where there are rivers and lakes, there will be disputes.

or happy enmity, or open and secret fighting, or conspiracies, or non-rumors, there are all kinds of people, all kinds of strange.

In the fifty-first year of the Taichang calendar, the imperial court was in danger, the martial arts rose strongly, Confucianism used literature to mess with the law, and chivalry violated the ban with martial arts, heroes in the world emerged, officials and businessmen colluded, and thieves rose up, vowing to seek the supreme throne of the world.

The world is chaotic, and everyone is in danger.

The Duan family is a martial arts family, guarding the grandmaster's mound for generations, and is famous in the martial arts with the family tradition of learning the "Book of Life and Death".

It's night.

"Crackle!"

The precious celadon vase was thrown off by a touch of flower sleeves, and with a crackling shard shards scattered all over the ground, bursting out, almost ruining the flower-like face of a girl in blue.

A beautiful woman with a jade bead hairpin on her head, wearing a brocade robe with a hundred flowers, and a cold and glamorous appearance, is having a look of anger on her face at the moment, and it seems that she is going to choose someone to love it in the next moment!

In front of her, there was a group of maids and women of different ages trembling, kneeling on the ground and not daring to make a sound.

"Say, where has the young master gone? ”

The expression on the woman's face was majestic and fierce, and her tone was cold and unmistakable.

The blue-clothed maid at the bottom, who had just been splashed with ceramic shards, almost fell to the ground when she heard the words.

At this moment, a stream of blood was sliding down her forehead, converging on her chin, and staining her clothes.

She trembled, tears mixed with blood on her face, and her voice trembled:

"Return, return...... The young lady's words, the maid was not on duty yesterday and went to bed early, I really don't know where the young master went....."

"Liar!"

The beautiful woman with an indifferent face shook her hand again, the cup on the table crackled and fell to the girl's arm, the hot tea made her green onion and jade ten fingers hot and white and foamed, she endured the severe pain, and did not dare to say a word, but the woman raised her eyebrows and sneered:

"You actually said you don't know! Hehe, you bold girl, you want to climb the young master's bed, don't think I didn't notice it before! Don't you like to ask people about the young master's movements the most? Why, this young master will be lost, you don't know!"

"The young lady spares her life! The servant girl is wronged! The servant girl is wronged! The servant girl doesn't dare, the servant girl is just the posture of Pu Liu! I really don't dare to think about the young master!"

The blue-clothed maid's apricot eyes widened, and she immediately fell to the ground, she used her head to beat the hard floor desperately, and the stone slab was knocked with a bang, and after a while, her head was covered with blood.

She pleaded bitterly and begged for mercy:

"Madam, the young master is a man of heaven in the world, and his wife is a match made in heaven, lend ten guts to the maidservant, and dare not give birth to such a rebellious thought! Madam, the maidservant can swear to the sky, if the maid knows the whereabouts of the young master at this moment, she will call the maidservant girl to thunder and thunder!

"You really don't know anything?"

"Really! The servant girl really doesn't know anything!"

"Hmph, since you don't know, there's no use in keeping it...... Mama Zhang, drag her down. ”

A grandmother immediately stepped forward and cautiously probed: "Young lady, should you go to the firewood room, or?"

"Do you need to ask?"

The woman glanced at the grandmother, suddenly turned around gracefully, pulled the hem of her clothes, and slowly sat down on the main seat, at this time she seemed to be a little calm, but her mouth spit out cruel words:

"As is customary, throw her into a water prison. ”

The Duan family water dungeon is naturally more than a literal water dungeon, the water dungeon is placed underground, in addition to the cold and gloomy iron frame, it also raises poisonous snakes, giant scorpions, crocodiles, and strange pythons!

When the blue-clothed maid heard this, her eyes rolled, and she fainted directly.

The grandmother seemed to be a little unbearable, but she didn't dare to put her beak in front of the master, so she quietly exchanged glances with another mother-in-law opposite, and the two of them took a few steps forward and immediately dragged the fainted blue-clothed maid out.

Seeing that this girl was dragged down, the face of the woman called the young lady on the main seat eased a lot, she raised her hand lightly, carefully evaluated the purple dancardamom on her fingertips for a while, opened her lips lightly, and said:

"It's late, Ah hairpin stays, everyone else, go down." ”

Those maids and maids were immediately relieved, but they didn't dare to behave too blatantly, and they made a neat confession, and went down lightly.

Only a cold-faced maid in pink clothes remained, her face was expressionless, and in front of the woman who was walking slowly, her voice was cold and her eyes were flat: "Young lady." ”

The young lady was not surprised by her attitude, but looked eager, and asked, "How is it, has there been a result?"

"Mrs. Hui, Lan Kou'er really doesn't know about the young master's disappearance this time, but she has asked the eldest lady's personal grandmother about someone before, and the maid feels very suspicious. ”

"Oh? ”

The woman's palms clenched slightly, and the sharp fingertips pierced into the abdomen of the palm.

"It's Miss Cousin who used to stay in Chunnanyuan last year. ”

......

When the sky was bright, the woman in scarlet clothes took Wen Shu out of the cradle, and her biological mother Yue Huan'er followed crookedly behind.

It wasn't until she walked out of the door that the woman beckoned the groom to carry all the luggage that had been placed in advance to the back seat, and watched Yuehuan'er sit on it with her own eyes, and finally hugged Wen Shu and jumped into the carriage.

The road in the wilderness is not good, the carriage is clattering all the way, Yuehuan'er has just given birth, her body is weak, and she feels more and more dizzy at the moment, she can't help but beg: "Sister, I really can't stand it, can you let the coachman slow down." ”

"No, if you don't leave Dongcheng before evening, you and Xiaomin won't be able to live!"

Yuehuan'er shut her mouth suddenly, no matter how uncomfortable her body was, she never mentioned that the carriage would slow down.

Yuehuan'er is the distant cousin of Duan Zhengqing, the eldest young master of the Duan family, and last year, the Yue family fell into the middle of the road, so their family traveled thousands of miles to the Duan family in Dongcheng.

The Yue family was also a famous family before the disaster, Yuehuan'er was born with a beautiful appearance, and was good at calligraphy and painting, and could sing and dance, when the young lady of the Duan family was pregnant, she quickly looked at her cousin Duan Zhengqing.

Even under the mediation of the eldest lady of the Duan family, intentionally or unintentionally, she did something reluctant!

The Yue family is the old lady of the Duan family, and the old lady has the meaning of helping her niece, and the eldest lady, as a daughter-in-law, naturally has everything.

She didn't like her son's wife, Yan Linglong, Yan Linglong is a young lady of the official family, and her ancestors have been palace doctors for three generations.

The reason why I married Duan Zhengqing is because the old lady of the Duan family has a life-saving grace for the eldest master of the Yan family!

At the time of banditry and epidemic, Yan Fusheng, the eldest lord of the Yan family, was ordered to go to Pengdu to treat the people, but he was caught and robbed by the roadblockers.

Yan Fusheng thanked the old lady of the Duan family for saving his life, and promised that the two families would marry their only daughter to the Duan family's son, and if he died in the future, the entire Yan family would return to the Duan family with Yan Linglong!

As soon as the Duan family heard that the other party was Yan Fu Sheng, the Holy Hand of the Medical Dao, he immediately clapped his hands and agreed!

The Yan family has been practicing medicine for three generations, and there is a pharmaceutical mastery handed down by the ancestors, if he can merge into the Duan family in the future, it will definitely greatly enhance the strength of the Duan family in the rivers and lakes!
