Just when Second Master Ruan didn't know what to say, Second Mrs. An let go of Second Master Ruan's collar a little dejectedly, and her body slipped to the ground as if there was no support.

A tear fell down Mrs. An's cheek.

Second Lady An sat on the ground in despair, and muttered hoarsely, "I hurt Bai'er...... If I hadn't insisted on giving birth to him back then, he wouldn't have suffered so much since he was a child, and he was disliked by his own father...... I hurt Bai'er......"

Second Master Ruan seemed to have been hit hard, and he couldn't say anything.

……

Nothing seemed to happen that night.

However, as soon as the sky was bright, the door of the main courtyard of the second room was banged.

Second Master Ruan did not rest inside, but slept in the study. It's just that, because of something on his mind, he slept very lightly, and as soon as the panicked knock on the door sounded, he almost immediately got up and sat up, his mouth was dry, and he had a sense of foreboding in his heart.

The second master Ruan slept with his clothes together, and he didn't have time to change any clothes, so he took a coat and went out.

The wind and snow are still raging outside, and it is snowing endlessly, and the path in the yard has accumulated a lot because no one shovels snow in the middle of the night.

It was Nguyen Hung who slapped the door.

His eyebrows and hair were covered with snow particles, and his face was pale with panic.

Second Master Ruan sighed in his heart.

Sure enough, Ruan Xiong opened his mouth with a hoarse voice and a crying voice: "Master...... Condolences ......"

Second Master Ruan only felt that the world was spinning for a while.

If it weren't for Ruan Xiong's quick help on the side, I am afraid that he would have fallen into the snowdrift.

Second Master Ruan pushed Ruan Xiong away, and ran to the side courtyard of the second room with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

On the side yard, there was silence.

Second Master Ruan even ran away with a shoe, unaware, a lot of old people, and they have always paid attention to appearance, just like that, one foot wore shoes, and the other foot only wore knee socks, and rushed into the side yard.

The one who stayed here to serve Kong Chuhua all night last night was not only Ruan Xiong, but also another little maid.

The little maid was kneeling under the hall, her body trembling like a dustpan, and she didn't dare to say a word begging for mercy.

Second Master Ruan entered the room, but slowed down, and he approached the bed step by step, as if he was afraid of waking up the person on the bed.

Kong Chuhua's face turned blue, and he lay stiffly on the bed with his eyes closed.

Second Master Ruan took a step by step, staring at Kong Chuhua deadly, Rao is he walked very slowly, and finally arrived at the bedside.

Ruan Er's hand trembled slightly, and he touched Kong Chuhua's hand.

Icy cold.

I went to touch Kong Chuhua's carotid artery again.

There was no movement.

The sad floodgates in Ruan's heart seemed to be opened all of a sudden, and he hugged Kong Chuhua and cried out of shape.

The Pingguo Mansion seemed to be awakened all of a sudden.

First the subordinates in the second room, and then it seemed like a chain reaction, and many of the subordinates who were on duty in the morning were woken up by the movement in the side yard in this bright morning.

Many people know that the illegitimate son of the second master yesterday is gone.

Mrs. An is another owner of the second room, she was also woken up by the movement outside, she was sad and sad last night, and fell asleep very late, so when she was woken up, she was very unhappy, her face was gloomy, she sat on the bed, and asked the maid irritably: "What time is it now, how is there chaos outside." ”

The maid peeked at Second Mrs. An's expression, and did not answer her first question, but cautiously replied to the second question first.

She knew that after hearing this answer, Madame must not be in the mood to bother with the first question.

“…… The one in the side yard is gone. ”

Gone?

When Second Mrs. An heard the news at first glance, she was stunned for a long time.

The one in the side yard, she naturally knew, was the illegitimate son brought back by the uncaring man, Kong Chuhua.

What does it mean to be gone......

He's dead?!

Second Mrs. An suddenly lifted the quilt, got off the bed at once, and stood on the pedal, her expression couldn't tell whether she was happy or sad, she just stiffened her face and asked one after another: "That little cub is dead?!" Really dead?! ”

The maid nodded cautiously, and said cautiously: "...... The lord has passed. ”

Second Mrs. An didn't want to care if Second Master Ruan had passed at this time, her mind was full of one thing, that little cub died like this?!

There is no one who can replace her Bai'er anymore?!

"Hah! Ha! Ha! Second Mrs. An looked up to the sky and laughed three times, her hands clenched tightly into fists, "It's good to die!" ”

The maid hurriedly looked at her nose and nose, pretending not to hear.

Second Mrs. An was very excited, she was struggling in the room with her sleeping shoes on, and the excitement on her face was overflowing: "Actually dead?!" He's dead?! …… He's dead?! ”

I kept repeating the words.

The maid thought in horror, Second Madam, don't be crazy......

……

No matter how noisy it was outside, it was quiet inside the Fuhui Hall, and it wasn't until the time to get up normally that Fang Hanniang slowly woke up.

She sat at the head of the bed in a daze, leaning on the big pillow, slowly waking up.

Qiu Zhu looked solemn, stood on the edge of the bed, and whispered to Fang Hanniang: "Girl, the second master's illegitimate son is gone at night." ”

Fang Hanniang seemed to wake up suddenly, her mind suddenly sobered up a lot, she looked sideways at Qiuzhu in some surprise: "It's gone?" ”

Nowadays, medical skills are not very developed, and a small illness like a cold and fever, if it is not good, it can kill people.

Not to mention that the weather is abnormal this year, and many children and the elderly from poor families have difficulty standing on their feet in such a cold winter.

Regarding Kong Chuhua's death, Fang Hanniang didn't think it was a surprise.

She sighed deeply: "It should be very sad to think about the second uncle...... That Kong Chuhua can also be regarded as my cousin, and if he opens a mourning hall in the mansion at that time, he will have to send a memorial ceremony. ”

Qiu Zhu nodded.

It's just that Fang Hanniang can't be sure, an illegitimate child like Kong Chuhua has not been recognized by the Pingguo Mansion, and I don't know if he can set up a mourning hall in the Pingguo Mansion?

If it is set up, it can be regarded as another form of recognition that he is the son of the Pingguo Mansion......

Fang Hanniang guessed in her heart, and asked Qiu Zhu casually: "Do you know when you died?" ”

Who knows, Qiu Zhu's voice was a little tense, and she replied: "...... I don't know when, the two people who served the little boy, one was the second master's long-term follower Ruan Xiong, and the other was the third-class maid Bailing. Last night, both of them fell asleep, and when they woke up, the little boy was gone. ”

Fang Hanniang's hand that was about to pick up the clothes suddenly stopped, and she turned her head to look at Qiu Zhu in shock: "Asleep?" ”

Qiu Zhu nodded a little uncomfortably.

That little maid, named Bailing, is also the son of the head of the house, three years younger than her. When she was a child, when she didn't come to serve the old lady, she often took the little girl to play the games that the little girl liked to play.

Right now, she actually fell asleep while on duty, or just in time for the death of her seriously ill master, which is really indescribable. Not to mention that Bailing has no good end, thinking about it, Bailing's family will be kicked out by the government.

Qiu Zhu thought like this, and suddenly knelt down for Fang Hanniang.

Her voice trembled slightly: "Girl, the slave wants to beg you, open up the net for Bailing's family." The slave knew that Bailing would not escape punishment, but her family ...... She has been paralyzed in bed for almost ten years, and she has a ten-year-old brother with a brain problem, all relying on her and her wife to work as errands in the house to subsidize the family. According to the rules of the house, Bailing's family will definitely be kicked out...... But if they are kicked out, they will have no way to live...... Their family is all kind-hearted, please save Bailing's family......"

Qiu Zhu didn't mention Bai Ling, probably knowing that Bai Ling was reproaching him.

Qiu Zhu kowtowed, Fang Hanniang was a little afraid when she heard it, she hurriedly lifted the quilt from the bed and helped Qiu Zhu up, and looked at Qiu Zhu's forehead carefully.

Although the floor in Fang Hanniang's house was covered with blankets from the Western Regions, they were not spread everywhere. Qiu Zhu is a solid eye again, when he kowtowed, he picked the slate and brick ground knock, and in a few moments, his head was already red, and blood oozed slightly.

Fang Hanniang's face was a little not good-looking.

Qiuzhu burst into tears and said: "Girl, the slave knows that the slave and maid said this, and she also broke the rules, which made the girl embarrassed, girl, don't be angry." However, the slave and maid knew that if the family was kicked out, there would really be no way to live...... The family had to die......"

Fang Hanniang sighed: "Sister Qiuzhu, I'm angry because you don't care about yourself like this. Bailing's matter, I don't know what the situation is at the moment, and it's not good to meddle in the affairs of the second uncle's room, if it is really because of her negligence that the child died, it makes sense for the second uncle to deal with her according to the family rules. But I promise you, if the head of Bailing's family is kicked out of the house because of Bailing's affairs, I will take a hand...... I bought a small village outside the city, and I saw that the terrain and geology were quite suitable for growing grapes. When the time comes, I'll settle Bailing's family over there. ”

Qiu Zhu was overjoyed, she didn't know how to thank Fang Hanniang.

"Girl, girl is really a bodhisattva!" Qiuzhu wanted to kowtow to Fang Hanniang again, but Fang Hanniang grabbed her, and said helplessly: "Sister Qiuzhu, don't see me like this." Don't be like this, go and help me twist a hot handkerchief, I will put it on my face first, and I will always feel uncomfortable on my face after burning charcoal all night. ”

Qiuzhu wiped her tears, answered loudly, and went to twist the veil.

Fang Hanniang exhaled slowly, but there was one thing in her mind.

Two vigils, both asleep at night?

It's also too coincidental.
