"Miss, let's go back quickly. ”

When the moon was full, it was the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, the midnight evening breeze was cold to the bone, the candle flame in the lampshade was flickering, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, Li Lian hugged her shoulders, a little apprehensive in her heart, and looked at Shi Zhaoyang who was kneeling on the side with a complaint in her eyes, seeing that she ignored it, she endured it and said: "Miss, didn't the master say that we would not be allowed to worship the lady, if this is seen by the lord and the lady, my heart will be uncomfortable." ”

Shi Zhaoyang knelt expressionlessly, and took the time to reply to her: "I know that Daddy and Mrs. don't like it, don't worry, it's the middle of the night, Daddy and Mrs. are asleep, and they won't see it." Finally, he handed a stack of money and food to the brazier that was swaying in front of him.

Li Lian looked at it from behind, and always felt hairy in her heart, so she put down the lantern in her hand, stepped forward and grabbed Shi Zhaoyang's wrist, frowned and said: "But today is the big day when the little young master was born, if others see him gossiping about the young lady, wouldn't it be separated from the mother-daughter relationship between the eldest lady and the lady." ”

Shi Zhaoyang looked at her slowly, "Where did the mother-daughter relationship come from?" asked him.

Li Lian's eyes widened, and she said to her indignantly: "Miss's words are too ungrateful, since the death of Mrs. Xian, it is obvious to all how good Mrs. has been to Miss, how can you be so ungrateful Miss." Li Lian's eyes flashed with contempt and sarcasm.

This is not her own daughter, she is still not familiar with it, Mrs. has worked hard for so many years, and she has sold her countless faces, she is still so ignorant, thanks to Mrs. She did not really treat her, and she also made a lot of benefits for the eldest lady, otherwise how could she spare her Shi Zhaoyang.

Shi Zhaoyang looked at the brazier in front of him, and the corners of his mouth pressed down slightly.

She doesn't say anything on weekdays, but that doesn't mean she really doesn't know anything.

Li Lian sneered at her everywhere that she didn't know what to do, and she became a lobbyist for the eldest lady with her maid for more than ten years. She turned a blind eye because she didn't want to care.

The eldest lady Qian and her biological mother Qin Ru are close friends in the boudoir, Qin's mother's family is the Taifu of the Yuan Kingdom, when Qin Ru met Shi Zhaoyang's father Shi Yao, Shi Yao was just a tanhualang, after Qin Ru got married, Shi Yao relied on the help of the Qin family to climb to the position of Xiangguo.

It's just that since the new emperor came to the throne and the Qin family was down, the status of the Qin family in the Shi family has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The illness came like a mountain, and after less than a month, the Qin family died.

Shi Zhaoyang was only six years old at the time, and even though he was uncomfortable, he still couldn't say a word when he saw his father welcome Qian into the door immediately after the filial piety period.

The status of the Qian family's mother family is not high, and at first it was just an eight-rank official, but Qin Ru and the Qian family met unexpectedly, and at first sight, the Qin family took the Qian family all the way to climb to the position of a five-grade petty official, and the Qian family also married a five-grade official in Beijing not long after Qin Ru became a family.

Qian's husband died suddenly in less than a year after marrying her, and Qian was ridiculed at that time, after all, her husband had such a dirty disease, and Qian was widowed at a young age, so there were some gossips, Qin felt sorry for this close friend, so he often invited her to sit at Shi's house.

A few days after Qian's husband died, Qian was found to be pregnant, and this posthumous son was the last hope of the husband's family.

It's a pity that the in-laws are old, and because the only son died suddenly too sad, the body is dragging more and more down, the child in the Qian womb was more than eight months old, the husband and wife passed away together, and they didn't even see the face of this good grandson, and they left the shop and land deed money and silver that they had saved over the years to the good grandson.

The child was not born, the money naturally fell into the palm of the Qian family, and the child was not a baby boy that the husband's family thought of after birth, but a beautiful girl.

Qian's eldest daughter's name is Gao Chuchu, only a month older than Shi Zhaoyang, Shi Zhaoyang and Gao Chuchu before the age of six were not in a good relationship, she only felt that this Miss Gao was too precocious, and the expressions of her and her mother were also very weird, and later Qian remarried her father Shi Yao, Gao Chuchu changed her name to Shi Hanyan, and suddenly replaced her as the eldest lady of Xiangguofu, and she didn't see anyone all day, and Shi Zhaoyang got along with her even less.

When Shi Zhaoyang was seven years old, he had his first half-sister, Shi Mingzhu, the third lady of the Shi family.

Now Shi Zhaoyang is twenty-eight, and Shi Mingzhu just passed his ninth birthday a few days ago.

The youngest young master of the Shi family was born at noon today, Shi Yao was forty years old before he came to the first son-in-law, naturally he was very happy, the Shi family invited a lot of people to come to eat and drink, the banquet was not long over, Shi Zhaoyang estimated that Shi Yao and the Qian family had been busy for a day and had slept about early, so they came to the backyard to burn paper for the Qin family.

Everyone only knows that today is the day when the little master was born, but they know that today is also the day when her mother died.

Shi Zhaoyang couldn't help but feel sad for his mother, probably Shi Yao had long forgotten that there was such a lady.

Shi Zhaoyang burned all the money and food he brought, and then rubbed his sore knees and stood up.

Li Lian was already drowsy on the side, Shi Zhaoyang pulled the lantern in her hand expressionlessly, and when she came back to her senses, she reminded her lightly: "Let's go." ”

Li Lian was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, and scolded her for being troublesome in her heart, seeing her walking leisurely, she didn't care that she was already sleepy and couldn't come back to her senses, and suddenly said: "Miss, you go slowly, the slave maid will go back to lay the mattress for Miss first, this late autumn and early winter is cold, don't freeze Miss." ”

After saying that, he ran out of the smoke and disappeared.

Shi Zhaoyang didn't care whether she was playing tricks or was really afraid of being cold, and it couldn't be the second possibility, Shi Zhaoyang walked slowly to his yard.

The corridor of Shifu extends in all directions, to the right is her own courtyard, and to the left is the courtyard of Mrs. Qian.

Today, the Qian family gave birth, Shi Yao must have stayed with other concubines, Shi Zhaoyang thought about it, and the embroidered shoes under his feet turned in a different direction.

No matter how she is a titular stepmother, she still has to go and see if she has a younger brother, so as not to fall into other people's tongues in Shifu.

When Shi Zhaoyang arrived, the family guarding in front of the courtyard disappeared, and the auspicious red lanterns hanging on both sides of the plaque at the courtyard gate had two dim red lights, but it was a little infiltrating, Shi Zhaoyang sighed, and was about to walk in with the lantern.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the evil wind came from nowhere, the lantern in her hand and the candle in front of the door were all extinguished, and there was darkness around her.

Shi Zhaoyang was not afraid of the dark, so he simply dropped the lantern in his hand and put it aside, and walked towards the main house step by step.

The main house was brightly lit, and two figures appeared on the papier-mâché window, one man and one woman.

Shi Zhaoyang strolled forward, and was about to speak, when he heard the woman in the house say slowly: "Master, you see that this child has also been born, and it is the sister-in-law that the master has been looking forward to for many years, and the concubine body has given the master such a big surprise, when will the master promise the concubine be fulfilled?"

"What's the hurry. Shi Yao pecked the tea in his hand, "Since I promised you, I will naturally handle it, but this matter still needs to be done slowly, and when I bring the military power in Qin Xu's hand, I will discuss the matter of moving Qin Ru out of the Shi family ancestral hall." ”

Shi Zhaoyang's knocking on the door froze, his lips pursed, and he quickly walked behind the pillar on the side, leaning against the door and listening.

"Qin Xu is a somewhat capable person, but he has to put a little more effort into it. Qian leaned on the head of the bed and looked at Shi Yao angrily, "It's all your fault, I was merciful to that Qin Ru's subordinates at the beginning, and I actually gave his Qin family a chance to recover, which caused me to be subservient to Shi Zhaoyang all these years." ”

Qian's age is thirty, and his appearance is still very amorous, and the coquettish Shi Yao's heart softened, and he coaxed her again and again: "Yes, yes, it's all my fault, I just wanted to make others suspicious if I did it too much, but I didn't expect Qin Xu to be a ruthless person who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger." ”

"No matter what, I will definitely destroy him this time, my Qian family has been suppressed by his Qin family for so many years, I must give my father and mother this bad breath. Qian gritted his teeth and pushed Shi Yao again, "It's all because of your idea, which made me so aggrieved in the early years." ”

"If not, how can you and I rise so fast. The corners of Shi Yao's mouth pursed into an indifferent smile, "Without the help of Qin Ru and the Qin family, as well as that high-ranking official, how can we have you and me today." ”

Seeing him with a smug face, Qian laughed at him playfully: "Aren't you afraid of retribution?" You have lost Qin Ru, and I have lost Gao Yuan, if they come to ask for their lives......

"Heh!" Shi Yao sneered, "Anyway, I want her Qin Ru to stay in the Shi family ancestral hall for more than ten years of incense, Shi Zhaoyang is still alive and well, she should be grateful to me, not to mention, my Shi family also has a master of exorcism, if she dares to come, I will tell her to be reincarnated!"

#

Shi Zhaoyang stood outside the door, the broken hair on her forehead covering her scarlet pupils.

The cloak on his body had already been wide open, and the cold wind poured into his chest, Shi Zhaoyang had never felt so cold, as if he was soaked in ice water.

I've never felt so hateful, and my chest is about to explode with anger.

Shi Zhaoyang slowly stepped out of the courtyard door with stiff steps, and the road ahead was dark.

Shi Zhaoyang looked back at the plaque at the courtyard gate, the exquisite courtyard was once his mother's residence, and his mother also died of illness here - in the house where the two of them were!

Shi Zhaoyang clenched his hands, whether the two of them had no fear or deliberately wanted to humiliate Qin Ru, they were able to live in the courtyard where she lived before her death with peace of mind after killing her!

Teardrops the size of beans fell from Shi Zhaoyang's dry eyes, and they were dried on his face by the cold wind after a few breaths, and he felt painful.

Shi Zhaoyang lowered his head.

Not afraid of the dead?

Is the living afraid?

#

When Shi Zhaoyang returned to his yard, it was already ugly.

As soon as Shi Zhaoyang touched the door bolt with one hand, the back of his head slammed to the ground, and Shi Zhaoyang didn't even have time to turn around to take a look, so he slammed down in front of the door and lost consciousness.

The taste of cold water from head to foot in winter is naturally uncomfortable, and Shi Zhaoyang regained consciousness when he landed, but his head was still groggy and there were still some ghosts in front of him.

"Awake?" Shi Zhaoyang stared at him fixedly, only to see that it was a pair of embroidered shoes, and the delicate and meticulous stitches were the only one in the Shi Mansion who could wear them.

Shi Zhaoyang's gaze gradually moved upward, and as expected, he met Shi Hanyan's beautiful face and looked at her condescendingly.

Shi Hanyan looks like Qian's, and has a charming atmosphere, but she prefers plain clothes and white shirts, but she really has a bit of a breeze and moon, not close to the noble temperament of the world, and countless men in Beijing are fascinated by her temperament.

It's just that she has never been close to herself, what is this stuffy stick now?

Shi Zhaoyang thought carefully before eavesdropping on others, but before she could think deeply, Shi Hanyan kicked her in the chest.

Shi Hanyan looked delicate, but this foot really didn't spare any strength, Shi Zhaoyang was tied up by the five flowers and fell to the ground bluntly, gritted his teeth and endured the pain and said: "Shi Hanyan, I have no grudge against you, why did you sneak attack me so ruthlessly late at night!"

Shi Zhaoyang shouted loudly, wanting to attract others, Shi Hanyan hooked the corners of his mouth, walked to her face, and kicked her, "When death is coming, what kind of scheming are you playing." ”

"You heard the conversation between my father and my mother in the main courtyard just now. Shi Hanyan interrupted her words and said firmly, "The affairs of your mother and the Qin family are all carefully planned by the two of them. Shi Hanyan straightened his sleeves and said slowly: "You know about it, then I'll tell you something you don't know." Your cousin Qin Xu will soon be divided by five horses on the charge of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and your mother's tablet will also be removed from the Shi family and become a wandering ghost, and your Qin family will have no chance of rising!"

Shi Zhaoyang's face was as earthy as earth, and Shi Hanyan was so sure, either she saw it, or she had already determined it from the bottom of her heart, not to mention that she knew this matter so clearly.

I'd rather kill by mistake than let go, I'm afraid she will be in a catastrophe today.

Shi Zhaoyang's head began to be chaotic again, she bit the tip of her tongue violently, trying to sober up a little, but she choked her jaw and had to raise her head to her.

Shi Hanyan looked at Shi Zhaoyang's face carefully, as if he wanted to carve this appearance into his heart, Shi Zhaoyang saw dense hatred and killing intent from Shi Hanyan's eyes, and even if Shi Zhaoyang wanted to break his head, he couldn't figure out why Shi Hanyan hated himself so much.

"Your face is really beautiful...... Shi Hanyan muttered, "When you die, there will definitely be a lot of lonely souls and wild ghosts who love you, a beautiful female ghost who died early, I remember that you are the most innocent, then I will kill you." ”

Shi Hanyan moved his left hand and covered Shi Zhaoyang's mouth, Shi Zhaoyang's head hurt very much, his eyes were already blurry, and he couldn't break free at all, only noticed a sharp pain on his face after a few breaths, extending from the left forehead to the right side of his face, penetrating his left eye and the tip of his nose, and the sticky blood stains covered his eyes.

"Ahhh

"Shi Hanyan - I will never let you go......!"

Shi Zhaoyang's broken body was held up suddenly, Shi Hanyan covered her mouth with one hand, her cold lips pressed against her ears, and her extremely cold and smug voice trembled

"Don't dream, you lost Shi Zhaoyang...... Die, this time, I won. ”

The cold well water gradually covered the mouth and nose.
