Ye Jingsheng left, leaving Xiao Shi stunned in place, stunned for a long time before asking Jinxiu beside him: "What does he mean?" ”

Jinxiu said: "The slave maid thinks...... The old man seems to have a hard time, and it sounds like Xichun forced him to do so. ”

Xiao's two eyebrows furrowed tightly, his excitement gradually calmed down, and his reason was regained.

Yes, it was forced by Xichun, otherwise no matter how confused Ye Jingsheng was, it would be impossible to fall in love with the maid beside Ye Wenyan.

At the beginning, the two of them did something, and even the old lady didn't know about it, but Xichun knew it clearly, because that thing was done with Xichun's assistance. But a maid, how to persecute the master? Even if she knows everything, isn't she afraid of being killed?

"Madam, let's go back and talk about it!" Jinxiu reminded in a whisper, "Xichun is still locked up in our courtyard!" ”

Xiao hurriedly returned to her Huayu Courtyard, which was very well built in the past, and was almost the richest place in the mansion except for the old lady's Fulu Courtyard.

It was built in this way in the past to show the status of the housewife, and now it has been moved in by the Xiao family, which once made her very proud.

"Go cook a bowl of soup and send it to that girl, she hasn't eaten all day, don't starve to death in our yard." Xiao Shi instructed Jinxiu, saying that people could not starve to death, but quietly handed over a packet of powder in his hand.

Jinxiu has followed Xiao for many years, so she naturally understands what this means, so she didn't say anything and retreated silently.

Hee-chun was locked up in the firewood room in the backyard, tied hands and feet and gagged, and no one came in to see her all day.

She almost thought that Xiao was going to starve her to death, but at this moment, Jinxiu came.

It was very dark in the firewood room, and Jinxiu held a lamp in her hand, and there was only a candle head left on the lamp, which swayed as if it was going to be extinguished.

She felt very frightened, and subconsciously stepped back, and soon found that Jinxiu was still holding a bowl of things in her hand, and her fear was even greater.

The gag cloth was pulled out, and it was so stuffed that she couldn't quite close her mouth all at once, and her cheeks ached.

"Hungry, aren't you?" Jinxiu whispered to her, "Second lady has pity on you, let me bring you a bowl of porridge." Drink it, it's going to be cold in a while. ”

Xichun was frightened, shook his head desperately, and at the same time gritted his teeth and said, "I don't drink!" Don't fool me, I know what you're trying to do. This set of second masters and second ladies has already been done once, I am clear, don't want to use it on me. Jinxiu, go back and tell the second lady, either nod your head and let the second master accept me as a concubine, raise my identity, and let me be clothed and fed from now on, or wait to bear the anger of the fourth lady and the eldest lady's family. ”

Jinxiu put the bowl on the ground, still calmly persuading her: "Why bother? If you don't drink it, I can pour it, and everyone of you is dead, and that thing will fall into the coffin with your death, and no one will know about it again. Xichun, Xichun, what is good for you to let me say, if you took the money and left, now you have already lived a prosperous life, how could you fall into such a situation. You can't be too greedy, you can't be greedy, and what you are greedy for is your own life. ”

"Greedy for my life?" Xichun stared at Jinxiu and sneered, "Don't worry, no, I know their people like that, how can I let myself follow the old path of that person." Go back and tell your master, if you want to kill someone, I have left evidence and witnesses, and once I die, that person will hand over the evidence to the fourth lady. So they had better pray that I live well, because only if I live, that thing will always be a secret and will never be known. ”

Jinxiu left, how did the bowl of porridge get in and how did it come out, and then she fell under the tree and melted in the snowdrift.

Xiao Shi was furious because of Xichun's words and smashed a room of things. Jinxiu really had no choice, so she had to persuade her: "Madame, at least the second master was really forced, not that he wanted to take Xichun as a concubine." No matter what others do, the relationship between you and the second master has not changed. ”

Xiao Shi thought about Jinxiu's words for a while, and finally had some comfort in his heart. She said to Jinxiu: "You go and invite the second master, be more respectful, and invite him to Huayu Courtyard for dinner." ”

Tossed to this hour, dinner is useless, both the master and the subordinates are very hungry.

Jinxiu hurriedly went to invite someone, but unfortunately he didn't invite him, Ye Jingsheng had already gone to Liu's Qiaocomb Courtyard.

Xiao Shi was so angry that he smashed again, and only stopped when there was nothing left in the house at the end.

"Go ahead! I can go for a while, and when the time comes, I don't have to get up and talk to Ye Wen for the first seven. I don't believe it, if he doesn't show up for this kind of thing, Ye Wenyan can spare him? Xiao snorted coldly and went to the front yard with Jinxiu.

There is still a big funeral at home, so there is no need to go out to buy funeral things, there are many ready-made.

Xiao asked the cook to cook a few dishes, and cut some white cloth ribbons and sent them to the people in the house, telling them to tie them around their waists. A brazier was placed in Xuming Hall, and a stack of burning paper was placed on the side.

Jinxiu said: "There is still a tablet left, and there is really nowhere to engrave it at this hour, so the slave and maid will ask the second master to write one!" ”

Xiao agreed.

The night scene was in full bloom very quickly, and Xiao Shi saw that he was dressed neatly, and his heart was finally a little more comfortable. But when I saw that the Liu clan and Ye Chulian were also following behind, the fire that had just been extinguished burned again.

"Such a big event, the concubines and concubines are not qualified to participate, let me go back to my own house and stay!"

Liu glanced at Ye Jingsheng, and when he saw Ye Jingsheng nodding, he saluted Xiao from afar, and was about to take Ye Chulian back.

But Ye Jingsheng pulled Ye Chu and said to her: "Since it is the seventh burning head, it can't all be us elders." Chu Lian stayed, he was a junior anyway, so he should be counted! ”

Xiao grinded his teeth and didn't say anything.

Ye Chulian stayed like this, and she also knew what she was doing to stay, so without saying a word, she knelt directly on the edge of the brazier and began to burn paper.

Xiao Shi instructed his subordinates: "Go and call the eldest lady, the second lady, and the eldest young master, and don't look at the time of day, and still have the mind to hide and sleep." They all came out to burn paper for their four sisters and gave them a good ride. ”

The subordinates went separately to invite, Jinxiu gently dragged Xiao Shi, lowered her voice and said: "Madam and Aunt Liu's mother are angry, and they can't talk about the first seven of Miss Four, we have to count on Miss Four!" ”

Xiao took a deep breath and nodded.

yes, you have to count on Ye Wenyan! She must heal her daughter's face, whether the child in her womb is male or female. Ye Wenyan is the only person she knows who can do it, and she can't offend everyone with the old lady.

Xu Mingtang was set up very decently, the kitchen made eight dishes, and the subordinates also used wooden sticks to build a small ladder at the threshold. This is the custom of the first seven, which means that the dead can enter the house by means of this ladder.

All the subordinates had white cloths around their waists, just like they did during the great funeral. Ye Chulian also burned the brazier very strongly, and said something in his mouth. Xiao Shi can't hear clearly, but it's the funeral after all!

Soon, Mu Shi also came with Ye Feiyu and Ye Qingmei.

As soon as the Ye Feiyu brothers and sisters saw that Ye Chulian was burning paper, they also walked over quickly and followed the burning. But the night didn't arrive, and Xiao Shi thought that he must be accompanying the old lady.

She was thinking in her heart, should the old lady come? If you don't come, Ye Wenyan will definitely be in a hurry, right? But if she invites her, the old lady will definitely blame her for being nosy when she is full.

After thinking about it, she still decided not to take this stubble, anyway, she did what she should do, and the old lady was not in her hands, and she couldn't blame her for the night Wen Yan.

Mu was helped by the maid and found a chair to sit down. Xiao Shi stepped forward with a smile on his face, sat on the side and talked to her: "Sister-in-law, let's see if there is anything wrong, I will immediately ask someone to change it." ”

Mu glanced at her, his eyes fixed on the smile on his lips, and asked Shaw, "Brother and sister look happy?" Is it a joy that my daughter is dead, and she is seven years old today? ”

She was a little excited, and leaned forward as she spoke, as if she was about to eat Xiao's.

Xiao hurriedly shrank back, and Danno hurriedly went to help his master, only to find that the eldest lady Mu was trembling all over, and her teeth were clenched and creaking.

Danno was scared, she had seen Mu like this once, and it was on the day the eldest master died.

But at that time, it was because of the death of her husband, why now? Although it is said that it is the first seven for Miss Four, this is just a trick that Miss Four came up with to toss people, she is still alive, she doesn't really want to go over the first seven, what's wrong with Mrs.?

Xiao also had the same idea, and she even asked: "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?" The fourth girl didn't die, this first seven is fake, but she is worried about the events of that day, so she came out to toss us like this. Look at you, why are you so excited as if you really died your daughter? ”

Unable to control herself at all, she shook off Danno and almost pounced on Shaw. A pair of arms stretched out and grabbed Xiao's neck.

She has been the head of the General's Mansion for so many years, even if her husband is dead, she has not lost such a temper, and now she feels that she is a madman.

But she had no choice, she couldn't control it, her daughter died, and the house was full of murderers from top to bottom.

The old lady, Ye Jingsheng, Xiao Shi, and Ye Hong, each of them are the murderers of her daughter.

She has endured it for many days, no one can understand her torment, no one can know that every night she can't sleep, as long as she closes her eyes, that beautiful and lively daughter will appear in front of her, calling her mother one by one.

Her hair fell down one by one, and everyone thought she was haggard because of her husband's death, but they didn't know that what she was really sad about was her little daughter from a little baby to an adult, and it was Yan'er who grew up in the palm of her hand.

She pinched Xiao Shi and said hoarsely: "Xiao Shubai, you killed my daughter, and I, Mu Qianqiu, swear, I will never die with you in this life!" ”
