The early morning sun casts mottled shadows through the windows, and now it is early spring in March, but the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Jinling is still full of coolness.

Outside the window, a woman in a dark skirt was looking through the window at the girl sitting in the room.

At this time, the eyes that were always fearful and flattering in the past have changed their previous shrinking, and they are seriously looking at all this.

What's there to look at in a palm-sized place? The woman pursed her lips, the disdain on her face unobstructed.

The events of that year can be said to have caused a sensation in the entire Jinling City. The second lady of the Qiao family, the richest man in Jinling, is unmarried and pregnant, even if the people are now civilized, it is still despised to be unmarried and pregnant, so this alone is enough for the Qiao family to raise their heads. What made the Qiao family lose face was still to come, and when they were pregnant in October, the melons were ripe, and no one came to the door to ask to marry the second miss of the Qiao family. The second lady of the Qiao family became the laughing stock of the whole Jinling City. Not long after, a member of the Qiao family said that after getting drunk, he leaked his mouth, saying that the second miss of the Qiao family, the man who was addicted to his identity, had already married a wife in his family, and he appeared once after the child was born, but he glanced at it and said "The eight characters are not good" and did not want it together with the second miss of the Qiao family.

I am afraid that only the parties themselves know whether it is true or false, but it is an indisputable fact that the second miss of the Qiao family has never asked for marriage. The good-faced old lady Qiao was furious because of this and wanted to expel the second miss of the Qiao family and the child from the house, but at the critical moment, the old lady Qiao was soft-hearted and saved.

It's just that since then, within two or three years, the second lady of the Qiao family and Mrs. Qiao passed away one after another. The rumors spread, and the child's "bad characters" statement was lifted again, and Mrs. Qiao was angry and sent the child to Bother Village to fend for himself, but within a few years, Mrs. Qiao also died of illness.

This time, Master Qiao, who was in charge of the house, suspected that this child was stubborn and did not dare to ask for it. The critical time was that the eldest lady of the Qiao family, who married into the Fang family, took pity on the child and took it when she was young, but because of the "eight-character kin", she couldn't stay by her side to raise it, so she sent the child to Zhuangzi in the suburbs, and this raising was ten years.

The girl in the house is the child of the "eight-character Keqin", with her mother's surname Qiao, and her single name is a word.

A hint of ridicule flashed in the woman's eyes: Their Fang family didn't say that they cared about the two mouthfuls of rice, but this child was "too hard", and the second elder of the Qiao family and the second miss of the Qiao family were restrained, who would dare to catch it? In the past, it was just for the sake of Qiao's to make up for the gap in the public middle school every year, and not to worry about this child. But this time Qiao's own accident happened, who still wants to be contaminated with this "broom star"? After all, a good trip to get married actually got into a lawsuit, no wonder they think about it, it's really that this child is too evil.

Standing at the door, she coughed twice, and without waiting for a reply, the woman went in.

"Miss Joe." After she entered the door, she didn't even bother to say hello, and said bluntly, "The matter has been made very clear, the eldest lady and the eldest lord have been involved in a lawsuit in the capital, and our family really doesn't dare to keep you anymore." Xuanzhenguan has already been sorted out there, please forgive Miss Qiao. ”

This is the second lady of the Fang family, and Miss Qiao, who also married into the Fang family, is a concubine, because of the second lady of the Qiao family back then, she often watched the jokes of the eldest lady of the Qiao family, that is, Mrs. Fang, behind her back. Now that Mrs. Fang had an accident, she couldn't help but jump out.

The girl sitting on the chair didn't cry and beg as she imagined, she just nodded slightly when she heard this, and then said, "Okay, since the Fang family has even prepared a place for me to go, I naturally don't have any opinions, just ......"

Knowing that this broom star didn't let go so easily, Second Lady Fang sneered, and a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes: However, with her here, this broom star doesn't want to take away the slightest benefit.

The girl sitting on the chair didn't continue to say "just", but reached out and pulled down the neckline of the high-necked jacket before continuing to speak: "It's just this...... How are you going to solve it? ”

There was a bluish and purple strangulation mark on the slender plain white neck.

Second Madam Fang was stunned for a moment, then reacted and sank her face: "Miss Qiao's self-hanging is something that the servants and servants in this village know. ”

Make a fuss about hanging yourself? I've seen stupid, I've never seen anything so stupid.

When the news of the accident between Mrs. Fang and Master Fang came, Miss Qiao cried and said that she had caused her aunt, and she found a white silk and hung it on the beam of the house from nowhere. Later, when her personal maid Hongdou found out, she heard that she was out of gas, but she didn't know why, and she woke up again after a while.

really responded to the sentence "Good people don't live long, and disasters will last for thousands of years", and they can't die by hanging themselves, and their lives are very hard.

"Second Lady Fang may not have seen it clearly." The girl pressed her neckline to the end as she spoke, and the purple strangulation marks on her neck circled around her neck, showing it at a glance.

"I heard that Lord Yin Zhen, the governor of our Jinling City, retired from Dali Temple, and I think it was a self-hanging wound or a murder strangulation mark." Her voice was soft, but the words she uttered were shocking.

The bruise wrapped around the neck, and no matter what kind of hanging, it couldn't hang such a strangulation mark, but it was not much different from the bruise of being strangled to death.

Second Lady Fang had also understood at this time, and her face changed slightly.

She remembered that there seemed to be such a thing: when the news of the accident between Master Fang and Mrs. Fang reached Jinling, her good sister-in-law also brought a message "Don't tell Ranran", it really hurts such a broom star more than her niece! She was in a hurry, but she was not as good as her good sister-in-law, so she asked her to tell the broom star the news as soon as possible, but the person who brought the message came back and said that the broom star wanted to hit the pillar at that time, but fortunately they stopped him. This attitude of wanting to die and live made her even more angry, and she seemed to say at the time, "What are you doing in your way?" The next time, if the broom star finally figured it out, not only should you not stop it, but you should also help a bunch of "something."

After saying this, she didn't pay attention to it anymore, if it weren't for the broom star suddenly mentioned, she would have forgotten about it.

At this glance, I suddenly felt a little worried in my heart: in the past, those "clever people" helped her do some things that were inconvenient for her to come forward, and she also allowed it, but she didn't expect that even such a thing as hanging herself would ...... Although I don't know if it was their hand, it is estimated that eight or nine are not far from ten.

There are many people who know about this matter, if it is a big ...... Second Lady Fang's forehead was unconsciously covered with cold sweat, and at this time, she was afraid that it would be too late to think about sealing her mouth.

This broom star is also a fuel-efficient lamp, not noisy or noisy, and now it will shake this thing out. The third daughter-in-law who has always been at odds with her is outside the courtyard, and the girl named Hongdou is already waiting outside the village, if you can't see this broom star, it will definitely make trouble, and Xuanzhenguan has already said it, how to seal it is full of loopholes. Although this broom star is not dead, but she wants to make trouble, the Fang family has been a scholarly family for generations, and she must not be able to afford to lose this person, and her divorce is still small, and she may be punished......

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, Second Lady Fang gasped, and her heart was full of resentment: just say that this broom star can't be touched, and whoever touches it is unlucky!

But...... Second Madam Fang rolled her eyes, since this broom star asked so, it seems that she doesn't want this matter to make a big fuss, and the top priority is to quickly coax this broom star away, and it is better to be out of sight. Second Madam Fang coughed and sneered, "What do you want?" ”

"I'm going to take the identity of the red bean."

All the people in this Zhuangzi were sent by the Fang family, and in the past, this Zhuangzi was taken care of by Mrs. Fang, and the deed was in the hands of Mrs. Fang, but nothing happened. But as soon as Mrs. Fang's front foot had an accident, someone on her back foot took advantage of her hanging herself to "help", lest she die quickly enough, which shows what the people in this Zhuangzi are thinking.

Hongdou is not the same as the people here, this girl was specially bought by Mrs. Fang to take care of her, and it has nothing to do with the Fang family, it doesn't matter if the deed is placed with Mrs. Fang in the past, but this time, her master has been driven to Xuanzhen Temple, and this girl will naturally go with her, and there is no reason for the deed to stay in the Fang family anymore.

It turned out to be a girl, Second Lady Fang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes." ”

"I still want money."

"No way!" Second Lady Fang refused without thinking about it.

Qiao Ran chuckled twice, and was not in a hurry, her fingers fell on the table and tapped, and her voice sounded softly, "The richest man in Jinling of the Qiao family, my aunt made red makeup when she married into the Fang family. In comparison, although the Fang family has a reputation as a scholarly family, they boast of being high-minded, treating money as dung, and my aunt is in charge of all the expenses in this day. For example, the second lady's cloisonné brocade jacket is at least three hundred taels, do you want me to help you calculate how much money your Fang family's good scholarly door will cost my aunt in the first year? ”

Second Madam Fang's face was extremely ugly, of course she knew the intention of this broom star to say a lot, and it must not be a small amount when she opened her mouth. After a little weighing, he gritted his teeth and said, "How much do you want?" ”

"Two thousand taels."

Rao was prepared in his heart, but as soon as this amount came out, Second Mrs. Fang was still angry: "You are a girl's family, what do you want so much money for?" I'm not afraid of being robbed when I go out! ”

"It's your business whether you give it or not, it's my business whether you can keep it or not, and I don't bother with the second lady." Qiao Ran pushed the words back without being soft or hard, and her soft voice was a lot harder, and she didn't seem to have much patience.

Second Mrs. Fang's angry headache: The girl's voice is soft and good, Fang Cai has already seen her good color outside, and now that she faces it, the amazing feeling brought by that good color is more intuitive. is obviously such a pleasing appearance, but the words and deeds can be angry. Sure enough, all the cowardice and shrinkage were pretended, and when the sister-in-law was not there, she showed her true colors.

"Where did I get so much money?" Second Madam Fang snorted coldly with a straight face.

The girl raised her chin, revealing the bruise mark on her neck, and said, "Second Madam Fang, I am a cheerful person, and I hope you are too." ”

Second Lady Fang didn't think about it and said: "I don't know who you heard the news that I have money in hand, and all the needs of the Fang family are paid from the public, and your aunt also knows this, the Fang family is not separated, so we have ...... on hand."

"Do you want to recite the accounts that the second lady lied about to the third lady outside?" The girl seemed to be a little impatient, and looked at her, "The second lady really thinks that I made a casual offer?" The accounts you have lied about add up to two thousand taels! ”

Mrs. Fang, who can deter such a concubine and allow the Fang family to accept a child with "bad characters", has never been a simple person, this is the number calculated by Mrs. Fang, not to mention it in the past, in the end, it was just for Qiao Ran, a child, to stay here.

"You ......"

"If I keep grinding any longer, if I change my mind...... Presumably I shouted here, and Third Lady Fang would be happy to know about the problem with this account. The girl reluctantly touched the armrest of the chair, "When the time comes, I just want to stay in this Zhuangzi." ”

……

The matter was finally negotiated in a way that the two sides tore their faces, and at the moment when they were about to go out, the girl suddenly stopped, turned back to look at the woman sitting in the room: "Second Mrs. Fang, give you a piece of advice." ”

Second Lady Fang looked at her with a frosty face.

The girl didn't care, just smiled and said, "You can't talk nonsense." ”

casually saying it may be a human life, such as the girl who was "hanged" by them.

She's not the Miss Qiao who hanged herself.
