The Rongxi Hall was full of joy, and the laughter of the women in the room could be heard from afar.

The old lady was surrounded by a group of old and young ladies in the middle, telling some old and fresh interesting stories, and the wrinkles were stretched out a lot.

Now that Li Ningshuang is no longer presiding over the feed, the reception of visitors is handled by the Lin family, and at this time she also sat on the side with the old lady, saying a few words from time to time, but playing the role of enlivening the atmosphere.

It's just a matter of the princess's birthday, and these dignitaries and wives have more or less heard about it.

Seeing that she used to be an aunt, she could control the internal affairs of the Yongding Marquis Mansion, but now that she has become a lady, her status has declined, and she will have some thoughts in her heart, and she will not be as polite as the Lin family and the Zhou family.

And the ladies of the Duke of Qi used the excuse that Mrs. Li was unwell, so several nephews came to visit with gifts.

Li Ningshuang originally replied that her mother was sick and wanted to go back, but she was accused by the old lady of not knowing the truth of marrying her husband.

had no choice but to endure the grievances and stay in the Yongding Marquis Mansion to be angry.

At this time, without the help of her mother's family, she naturally couldn't stiffen her waist, and she sat in the room, watching the people coming and going, and she only had to force her face to laugh.

At this time, the grandchildren's women, Duanmu Qing had not come over, Duanmu Su and Princess Fu Zhen went out, and only Duanmu Zi and Duanmu Bi were present.

The women in the aristocratic circle are all determined by a common fate, that is, high marriage.

No matter what status they occupy in their mother's family, when they reach the age of marriage, they will be like a trade item and become a tool for marriage.

And how good this tool is is also an important indicator of how good or bad they are in the future.

Although Duanmu Zi was originally a concubine, but now that Li Ningshuang has been corrected, no matter what her mother's status is, nominally, she is a genuine concubine.

And there is an aunt like the queen, an aunt like Yi Zhaoyi, an excellent mother like the Yongding Marquis Mansion, and the most important thing is that she was born with a beautiful face and moonlight, known as the first beauty in the world, and her future will be limitless.

Therefore, although everyone knows that today's protagonist is not her, but the eldest lady who has always been a little mysterious, no one has snubbed her.

Duanmu Zi stood here, forgetting for a moment what kind of occasion this was, these famous ladies looked at her as if they were looking at a dazzling princess.

She heard the praises coming over her like a tidal wave, a feeling of being overwhelmed by sweetness.

It seemed like she hadn't enjoyed such pleasure for a long time.

Since the queen's birthday, she seems to have been pressed by Duanmu Qing in everything, and in the end, it will always be her own humiliation.

I don't know when she started, she began to be a little afraid to appear on big occasions, for fear that Duanmuqing would do something and make her make a fool of herself in public.

At this time, Duanmu Qing was not there, and this feeling of being held high by others came again, and it was still the same as before.

Thinking of this, the hatred in Duanmu's purple eyes flashed, why is there Duanmu Qing, why is she like her nemesis?

couldn't help but turn her face to look at the old lady, and just saw her talking about Duanmuqing to Mrs. An Yibo with a smile on her face, with a proud look on her face, as if it was a treasure in her hand.

Once upon a time, the old lady's smile was also for her, at that time, Duanmu Qing was not the current Duanmu Qing, she was just a little sparrow hidden in the corner, and she was the most dazzling star in the Yongding Marquis Mansion.

Thinking of the past, the thorn in Duanmu Zi's heart pierced even deeper, all the way to the bone marrow, deep into the soul, and it was a feeling of hatred and pain.

It would be nice if there was no Duanmu Qing in this world, and how good it would be if there was no her......

Such thoughts were out of control, as if they had been dormant in the depths of their minds for a long time, when a hole was opened somewhere, and those vicious things began to gurgle and gurgle outward.

"Why can't the young girl come over?" After a topic ended, the old lady suddenly realized that the protagonist of the inner courtyard had not yet come, and hurriedly asked in a loud voice.

"I've already sent someone to invite the eldest lady." Purple Kite replied with a smile, for the eldest lady, the people in Rongxi Hall are very fond of it, they are generous, and the most important thing is not pretentious, such a thing as accompanying the old lady to breakfast, rain or shine, everyone has long been used to it.

"It's still early! The old lady was so worried. Aunt Qin said with a smile.

Because of Duanmuzhu's relationship, her status is naturally different from that of ordinary aunts, and the eunuchs and concubines who came to the Yongding Marquis Mansion naturally know that they are also very polite to her, so it is very normal for her to come out and sit on this occasion.

When it was lively here, an inconspicuous little girl quietly slipped in, walked to Duanmu Zi's side and quietly pulled her sleeve.

"Satsuki? How are you? ”

Duanmu Zi, who saw the little girl, was a little surprised, "Why are you here?" ”

"I'm just here to tell Miss that today I can make the person she hates the most disappear, please rest assured."

After speaking, he blinked his eyes, and went out again with a smoke.

Duanmu Zi was left stunned in place, and she didn't come back to her senses for a while, but then she thought, isn't the person she hates the most Duanmu Qing? Don't......

Is there really a way to make Duanmu Qing disappear?

Such a thought exploded in her mind, and the whole world was bright, and it was full of light for a moment, Duanmu Zi felt that her fingers were trembling, and an abnormal flush appeared on her face.

It was the excitement in her blood that was screaming wildly, and she couldn't calm down at all.

And as time passed, Duanmu Qing did not appear for a long time, as if to confirm her conjecture.

Even Duanmu Bi on the side felt that she was a little unusual.

After chatting with everyone for a while, the old lady also felt that too much time had passed, so she sent a few more people over to ask.

Two people went out in a row, but they haven't come back, which makes her face look a little unpleasant.

"Old lady, old lady is not good, dead!"

I don't know which yard it is, I don't care about the occasion, I stumbled and fell on the floor of the house, panicked.

"What's the matter? Make it clear! Lin was afraid that the maids were ignorant and said the wrong thing, which frightened the old lady, and immediately sank his face and scolded.

Lin's reputation in the house is still good, and after she presided over the feed, in many ways, it was obviously much fairer, and everyone was very convinced.

Hearing her words at this moment, the two little maids calmed down a lot, "Return, eldest lady, we just saw a dead person in the rockery on the way here." ”

"What nonsense? How can a good person die? ”

The old lady has a good ear, and she has already heard it clearly, so she hurriedly scolded at this time.

"It's true!" For fear that the master would be angry and that she would suffer, one little maid didn't dare to speak, and the other only dared to whisper.

"Where's my pearl?" The wife of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites was like a blank sheet of paper at this time, and she couldn't help but scream in surprise.

At this time, it was Duanmu Zi who was most excited, and she could clearly hear the beating of her heart in her chest. Is this true?

"Grandmother, let's go and have a look! Whether it's true or not, it can always calm the hearts of the ladies. ”

Duanmu Zi frowned slightly, not without worry.

At this time, not everyone was in the Rongxi Hall, and there were some people hanging out elsewhere, because the relatives here would inevitably be worried, and when they heard Duanmu Zi's words, they all nodded in agreement.

If there is a murder on such a day, no matter what, the reputation of the Yongding Marquis Mansion will not be good, and the old lady naturally hopes to spread it.

Originally, he wanted to drag everyone down with words, and then let the Lin family secretly deal with this matter.

Who knew that the wife of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites would suddenly call out such a sentence, and it would be impossible for people not to look at it.

Following the two little maids, the group walked out of Rongxi Hall.

From afar, I saw the little maids and mothers who were in a circle over there, all of them were very nervous, pointing and pointing towards the rockery.

At this moment, a bunch of people also came from the front yard.

Duanmu Junduanmu Yi hurriedly walked over with Duanmu Cangduanmuhe, his face was very serious.

"Mother, why did you come out?"

The old lady glanced at her son, although she was not happy, she also knew that it had nothing to do with her son, and shook her head, "Go ahead and take a look." ”

That circle of people, seeing that the old lady and the Hou Ye had come over, automatically branched out a way.

Even so, everyone still couldn't see what was inside, and it happened to be blocked by a rockery that came out horizontally.

The old lady was supported by Duanmu Jun and Duanmu Yi and walked forward together, and everyone else followed.

Duanmu Zi clenched his fists tightly, and the expression on his face was stiff like a tight mask, as if he would fall off if he moved.

She saw the nervous expressions on the faces of the little girls in front of her, saw their horror, and there was something in her blood that was screaming arrogantly.

Her footsteps followed the people in front of her, little by little, but there was a sense of vanity, as if she could not step on the ground under her feet.

It's just that longing, longing for the result in the deepest part of my heart.

"Grandmother, father, third uncle, why are you all here?"

A voice like a clear spring came from behind the crowd, with some doubt, and some confusion.

Duanmu Zi only felt that there was a scorching thunder exploding above his head, and the rumbling shock made his brain hurt.

And this voice fell on her ears, and suddenly it was like a ghost, with a cold feeling that seeped out of hell.

But soon, she reacted, things must have changed, but obviously everyone is dead, so who will die?

After a simple explanation to Duanmuqing, the old lady took Duanmuqing's hand and said solemnly, "Let's go and have a look." ”

Duanmu Qing also restrained the bright smile on his face just now, looked serious, and followed everyone forward.

It wasn't until the man lying on the ground was completely exposed to everyone that everyone screamed.
