Su Shi saw Ling Xiu'er turn her head and look at Zhang Si with concern, and took out a money bag from her body: "Master Zhang, today is really a burden to you." Let you be implicated for no reason, you probably can't go back to work in the Mao's dyeing workshop now because of me. I don't want to go in my heart, you always have to use money, I still have a sum of money here, you can accept it, I will compensate you. ”

"No, no, no, I can't ask for it!" Zhang Si kept refusing: "How embarrassed am I to take the money you gave!" Isn't this a real bribe from you? Besides, you must have spent a lot of silver taels for the Mao family's dyeing workshop, so you should keep the money yourself. This Maojia dyeing workshop is not in charge of them, and when Boss Mao is well, I can still go back to work, so you don't have to worry about my old bones. ”

Ling Xiu'er saw that he insisted on refusing to accept the money bag, so she had to give up for the time being. She muttered: "Yes, Shopkeeper Mao is a good person, and I also hope that he can cheer up quickly." ”

But she knew in her heart that the shopkeeper Mao had experienced such a big blow, and he would probably be slumped from now on. It was she who ruined Boss Mao's half-life efforts, and she was the sinner of the entire Mao family's dyeing workshop.

As for this money, since Zhang Si refuses to accept it now, then she will find another way to make him accept this money.

Su Shi was worried that she had suffered too much blow, and wanted to comfort her a few words, but Ling Xiu'er had already opened her mouth to send off the guest.

"You don't have to worry about me, the most important thing at the moment is to embroider the clothes worn by the old princess at the birthday banquet quickly, I still have a lot of work to do here."

Su Shi couldn't help it anymore, so he had to tell her, "Then you should also pay attention to rest, don't get tired." ”

Ling Xiu'er's usually smart eyes were now hollow, losing their former brilliance, nodding mechanically, and closing the door.

After that, Ling Xiu'er locked herself in her room and concentrated on the clothes she wore during the old princess's birthday banquet, and the food brought by the Su family for several days, she only moved a little, and several times, the Su family did not see any traces of her eating.

What she didn't know was that Ling Xiu'er not only locked herself in her room, but also put her heart in a cage, and every day, guilt was tormenting her, like a heavy burden, pressing on her heart.

If it weren't for her, the shopkeeper Mao would not have been so angry that he vomited blood, and if it weren't for her, the shopkeeper of the Mao family would not have faced the crisis of being beheaded.

Ling Xiu'er deeply felt that everything was his fault, because the source of everything was her.

Su Shi looked at the tea and rice without thinking, and embroidered flowers all day and night, Ling Xiu'er, she was really worried that if she continued like this, her life would be lost!

Su Shi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, Ling Xiu'er couldn't listen to her words, and Ling Xiu'er's husband was not here at this time, so he wrote to tell him that when he came back, I was afraid that Ling Xiu'er would have burned his body and bones.

Su Shi thought about it, so it seems that the only people who can persuade Ling Xiu'er to move are the people of Zhang Mansion. Thinking of this, the Su family hurriedly sent someone to Zhang's mansion and told Zhang Ze about the matter.

Hearing Su Shi say that Ling Xiu'er had locked herself in the room for the past few days, embroidering all day long, Zhang Ze was really worried. If it weren't for the fact that Su Shi couldn't stand it and forced her to eat so many bites, Ling Xiu'er was afraid that she would be the first person to die because of embroidery.

"You hurry up and persuade her, Cao Yu is not here, and I can't persuade her, so you can try it." She doesn't eat, drink, or sleep like this, even an iron man can't support it. This is Su's original words, in his words is undisguised worry about Ling Xiu'er, and his brows are locked because he can't persuade Ling Xiu'er. I don't know where Ling Xiu'er's stubborn temper came from, no matter how you say it, it's useless.

Zhang Ze didn't say a word when he heard this, and immediately came to Ling Xiu'er's small courtyard, sure enough, the door of Ling Xiu'er's house was tightly closed, and Su Shi was going to find Zhang Ze, so he put lunch at Ling Xiu'er's door, and the food was cold, but obviously he hadn't moved.

Su Shi sighed, took the meal away, and prepared to prepare another hot one for Ling Xiu'er. Su Shi took the food, tilted his head towards Ling Xiu'er's house, and motioned for Zhang Ze to hurry in and talk to Ling Xiu'er.

"Knock knock." Zhang Ze knocked on the door.

"Sister Su, I know, I'll eat it later." Ling Xiu'er thought that Su Shi was urging her to eat, so she opened her mouth and came, without raising her head, and her hands were still busy.

Because she hadn't been in the water for a long time, Ling Xiu'er's voice sounded a little hoarse and weak. Zhang Ze didn't say anything when he heard it, and directly pushed the door open. The light outside the house shone in, and Ling Xiu'er narrowed her glasses a little uncomfortably, and naturally her hands stopped.

"Brother Ze, why are you here?" Ling Xiu'er adapted to the light, opened her eyes and found that the person standing at the door was Zhang Ze, she couldn't help but be a little surprised, but then she also thought of something, "Did Sister Su call you over?" Sister Su is really, I obviously don't have anything. ”

Ling Xiu'er said that Su Shi, in fact, she also knew that Su Shi cared about her.

"Xiu'er, you can't embroider anymore. You have to rest right away, you don't see how pale your face has become. Before Zhang Ze came, he thought that Ling Xiu'er's state would definitely not be good, but when he really saw her, Zhang Ze's voice couldn't help but become serious.

Ling Xiu'er looked terrible. She was originally fair-skinned, but now she looked sickly pale, her whole face was not bloody, and her eyelids were still glowing with black blue, and she knew at a glance that she had not had a good rest. The originally ruddy cherry mouth dried up and peeled. The bun is no longer exquisite, Ling Xiu'er only uses a simple wooden hairpin to coil up her hair, and she doesn't care if some hair strands are not coiled in.

"Brother Ze, I'm fine. I must finish embroidering the old princess's dress immediately, or it will be too late. With that, Ling Xiu'er picked up the needle and thread again.

Seeing this, Zhang Ze immediately took two steps forward and forcibly dragged Ling Xiu'er up. I don't know if it's because Ling Xiu'er can't sit for a long time, plus she hasn't eaten or drunk embroidery for the past few days. Zhang Ze pulled her up, Ling Xiu'er shook her twice, and a fishy smell welled up in her throat. Ling Xiu'er covered her chest and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of black blood.

The black blood happened to fall on Ling Xiu'er's embroidery, and the originally lifelike fairy crane immediately changed. The white feathers of the crane gradually turned black, and sharp teeth grew out of its long, sharp beak. The crane slowly turned black, and became an unknown monster, and was about to break out of the rags.

Rao is well-informed Zhang Ze was also stunned when he saw this magical scene. Ling Xiu'er saw that the situation was not good, and wiped the blood from the cloth with her hand, and the change of the crane stopped instantly. Ling Xiu'er knew that Zhang Ze must have seen it, but she didn't know how to tell him.
