Chapter 070: Safflower Drink (12)
Lihua was stunned for a moment, she looked at Xing Ruyi in a daze, as if she was reminiscing, and seemed to hide some unspeakable secrets.
"Is it Duan Niang, or Ying Hong?"
"Yinghong...... Yinghong is a ghost! Lihua suddenly shouted: "She is hiding on Duan Niang's body, and every late at night, she will come out to scare me." It is because of her that I have an unstable fetus and take medicine. I have been very careful, and every time I take the medicine, I will ask the maid to show it to the doctor, and only take it after confirming that there is no problem. But why? Why does my child still ......"
"You killed Yinghong, right?"
Xing Ru thought that Lihua was in an abnormal mood, so she didn't ask her about falling from the building, but turned the conversation to Yinghong.
"She blackmailed me, and she knew the secret between me and the doctor, so she asked me to give her a lot of money. I gave her some, but she wasn't satisfied. She is a liar, and she clearly values Duan Niang's affection and righteousness, in fact, what she values is only Duan Niang's trust in her, and she wants to use this trust to seek more benefits for her. ”
"That's all Yinghong told you?"
"How could she tell me this?" Lihua curled the corners of her mouth in a sneer: "I overheard it." She told the other maids that she didn't want to stay in the Sheng family to be the personal maid of the eldest lady at all, she just wanted to get out of this cage and be free. ”
"But as far as I know, this Yinghong was bought by the Sheng family. Such a girl, even if she dies, she will die in the Sheng family, right? ”
"That's right, Yinghong was bought. However, she was not bought by the Sheng family, but by Duan Niang's family. It is said that such a girl, even if she dies, can only die in the master's house. But there is another situation, that is, the girl is deeply liked by the master, and the master is soft-hearted for a while, so he may return the deed of sale to her.
I know Duan Niang. On the surface, it looks like nothing, but in fact, it is very soft-hearted. This Yinghong is loyal to her on the surface and dedicated to her duties, but whenever there is an opportunity, as long as she moves her mind a little, Duan Niang will return the deed of sale to her.
No matter how bad it is to stay in the Sheng family, there is always food and clothing. But once you go out, you have to earn your own food, drink and clothing. Yinghong, a woman, how can she earn so much money to live and live, that's why she came to my yard to threaten me.
Originally, I didn't want to deal with her. This girl who can be bought with money can naturally be settled with money. But I didn't expect that this Yinghong's appetite would be so big, she seemed to eat me, and threatened me again and again. I didn't dare to tell the master about this, and most of the savings in my hands had already been given to the doctor, and there was no extra silver to give her.
I don't want to kill her, I'm just forced to let my subordinates teach her a lesson. I never thought that this Yinghong would be so unbeaten, and he lost his breath after only a few strokes. In a hurry, I just wanted to get the courtyard that the master gave me, so I asked my subordinates to take advantage of the night to quietly bring her over.
I thought I'd bury her properly when the limelight passed. I never thought that the matter would be discovered by the master so quickly. ”
"Then do you know that this Yinghong was still alive when you threw it into the well?"
Lihua shook her head.
"I don't know! I really don't know! At that time, she was beaten motionless, and I panicked, so I asked the personal girl to take a look. The girl told me that she was out of breath and that I didn't have time to think about it. If...... If only I knew she was still alive......"
"What would you do if you knew that Yinghong was still alive? Will you let her go? ”
Xing Ruyi asked. Lihua raised her head and looked at her, half speechless. Yes, if she knew that Ying Hong was alive at the time, would she let Ying Hong go? No! She won't! Because at that time, she had no other choice.
"Having said so much, Yinghong's death was caused by you."
"Yes! I killed her. But she was also killed by her lack of greed. Although she is a maid, Duan Niang treats her well. If she is willing to stay for a few years, Duan Niang will inevitably find a good husband for her and marry her from the Sheng family. ”
"If the Sheng family doesn't have you, of course she can wait. But Lihua, you forgot. Since you started, the Sheng family has almost no chance for Duan Niang to speak, let alone when she, the eldest lady, is in charge. Her master is still suppressed by you, she is a maid, what chance can she wait? Of course, she had to plan for herself in advance, and make a move that was risky but worth the risk. ”
"So, or is it because of me?" Lihua took a few steps back: "No wonder she is so angry. No wonder, she turned into a ghost and refused to let me go. ”
"You just said that Yinghong always takes advantage of the middle of the night to scare you?"
Lihua nodded: "Since her death, I have been a little uneasy in my heart, and I am always worried about when this matter will be known by the master." Although I have always been arrogant and willful, I am actually very afraid of the lord in my heart. I also know that the reason why my lord spoils me, gets used to me, and lets me be left to me is not because I am his wife, but because my father is doing things for his master.
Once my father loses its use value, then my position in my lord's heart will also undergo some fundamental changes. I was afraid of this change, so I became more and more arrogant and unreasonable, and I was even afraid that the old man would be better to Duan Niang than to me. I can't wait to give birth to a son and a half daughter for my lord, hoping that in the future, my lord will be more tolerant of me for the sake of the child.
After Yinghong's death, I was always uneasy and didn't think about tea and dinner. My husband invited a doctor to come and see me, but I found out that I was pregnant. I don't know if it's because I have my own children, I am more and more scared. But the more you are afraid of something, the more something comes. On the night of the consultation, Ying Hong appeared.
She appeared in my bedroom soaking wet, her hair disheveled, pointing at my stomach like a demon and saying that she would never let the child in my womb be born. ”
Lihua said, looking down at her stomach.
"I was flustered, I was afraid, so I asked a Taoist priest to come and paste a piece of talisman paper on my door. But what I didn't expect was that the rune paper didn't work at all, and Yinghong still came every night, disturbing me so much that I couldn't live in peace. ”
"I finally got it." Xing Ruyi sighed.
"Girl, what do you know?"
"Yinghong originally wanted to take revenge on herself, but she didn't expect you to find a Taoist priest to come over. The talisman given to you by the Taoist priest is not useless, on the contrary, it works. Because of the existence of that rune paper, Ying Hong can no longer enter your room. In desperation, she had to find Duan Niang and lead Duan Niang to the dry well in the back garden.
Ying Hong knew Duan Niang's feelings for her, and she also knew that if Duan Niang knew that she was killed by you, she would definitely be indignant in her heart, and even want revenge. With the hatred that continues in Duan Niang's heart, Ying Hong can get on her body, and then use Duan Niang to get close to you. ”
"I see! I thought it was ......."
"You thought it was the Taoist priest's spell that didn't work, so you thought of holding Duan Niang by your side and trying to use Duan Niang to suppress Yinghong. didn't know that at that time, Yinghong was already Duan Niang, and Duan Niang was already Yinghong.
I checked the medication you were taking and there was nothing wrong with it, but on the cup you drank from, I found marks of safflower smearing. The portion is small enough to cause harm to the child in your womb. It was Ying Hong who really killed the child, or the yin ghost qi carried by Ying Hong. That breath, from yin to cold, will not be able to resist the child in your womb for a long time. ”
"Are you saying that my child is destined not to live?"
"Not really." Xing Ruyi thought of the child who died young, and his heart was full of feelings: "If you didn't fall from the building, with my ability, I can still try my best." If you're lucky, your baby will be born. Can it be ...... Lihua, at this time, is there anything else you can't tell me? ”
"It wasn't Duan Niang who caused me to fall from the building." Lihua finally opened her mouth.
"That's Yinghong?"
Lihua shook her head: "It's not Yinghong either!" In the girl's words, it is still a question whether the child in my womb can be saved. Yinghong, there is no need for her to choose this time to harm me. The person who really hurt me was ......"
Before Lihua could open her mouth, a white light came in from the door, followed by scattering Lihua's soul.
"Lihua!"
Xing Ruyi hurriedly stood up, but it was too late. Lihua is gone! Where she had just stood, there was a feather. The feathers were still fresh, as if they had just been plucked from a chicken or duck, and they still had the fishy smell peculiar to chickens and ducks.
There was a layer of white light floating on the feathers, which was a symbol of being cast by someone. Xing Ruyi hurriedly walked to the door, but did not see any suspects.
"Madame is hungry?"
When I went downstairs, I saw that the entire lobby was empty, and the shopkeeper was wiping the table. Hearing footsteps, he stopped what he was doing and asked.
"Has anyone been here just now?"
"Nope! The little one stayed in this lobby all the time, and no guest was willing to walk in except for one who came to the door from time to time. ”
"Master Sheng and Mrs. Sheng haven't come back either?"
"It turns out that Mrs. Sheng is asking Master Sheng and Mrs. Sheng. Our Yong'an City is not big, but it is not small. It will take a while to get back to the inn from the city. ”
"What about the people brought by Master Sheng? I asked the servants and the maids. ”
"Earlier, I left a girl, saying that I was waiting for you to come back in the store. But when Mrs. Fang Cai came back, the girl went out. said that he was going to reply to the old lady. Calculate the time, you have to have a little half a cup of tea. ”
"That girl knows where Yizhuang is?"
"She couldn't have known, and when I went, I drew a picture for her." The shopkeeper touched his head a little embarrassed: "From the inn to Yizhuang, the road is not difficult to walk." When you really don't know, just open your mouth and ask. In our city, there is only this Yizhuang, which everyone knows. ”
"And you've seen this?"
Xing Ruyi took out a feather and handed it to the shopkeeper.
