"Yingniang!"

Xing Ruyi didn't have time to stop it, and the gossip mirror hidden behind the door plaque fell to the ground together with the gilded word "Yang Mansion". The gossip mirror, made of brass, fell on the steps in front of the door and made a "bang" sound.

The yellow light that shrouded the green branch disappeared in an instant. The green branch glanced at Yingniang, turned into a wisp of black smoke and drilled through the crack in the door.

The door of Yang's Mansion opens from the inside. The housekeeper stood at the door, looked at the black-clothed Yingniang and said, "You're finally back!" ”

"Yes! I am back! ”

As soon as Yingniang finished answering, the butler's head was cut off from his neck and rolled to Yingniang's feet with a grunt. Green Branch, tilting his head, stood behind the butler's torso and said, "Kill!" Kill them all! ”

"There is a grudge to repay the grievance, there is a revenge to take revenge, you want to collect debts, I don't object, but Yingniang, you can't kill innocents indiscriminately."

"Madame thinks this man is innocent?" Yingniang pointed to the head of the housekeeper on the ground and said, "None of the people killed by Yingniang are innocent. ”

Yingniang said, turned around, and at this time she had changed her face. This face has not been seen before by Xing Ruyi, but according to what the housekeeper said just now, the Yingniang in front of him is the real Yingniang.

"I met him when I was 16 years old."

Yingniang took off a piece of jade pendant on herself, and in the middle of the jade pendant, there was an engraved word "Yang".

At that time, he was just a broken scholar, with no good land and no money, and he made a living by writing on the streets. I am the second lady of the Yan family, my brother, an official in the court, although it is just an inconspicuous petty official, but in the eyes of the family, it is already a glorious lintel. My father was in business, and before my mother married my father, her family owned a dyeing workshop, and she was also the daughter of a merchant's family. Although my family is not considered rich and expensive, it is better than the current Yang family. ”

"That is him, is the deceased Master Yang?"

Yingniang nodded.

"Like Miss Yang today, I also had a marriage contract at that time. It was only because I met him and was bewitched by him that I begged my father and mother to help me return the marriage contract. I thought that from now on, I could stay with him for a long time, but I didn't expect that he would lie to me. Not only did he lie to me, but he also killed my whole family. ”

"What the hell is going on?"

Xing Ruyi asked Yingniang while giving the fox a look, allowing the fox to enter Yang's house to stop the slaughter of Green Branch. Yingniang should have known Xing Ruyi's intentions, but she didn't stop it, but stood in place, looked at the housekeeper's head, and continued to talk about the past related to herself.

Eighteen years ago, Yingniang was still the second lady of Yan Mansion, Yan Ying.

One day, when I took the maid to the street to buy rouge, I met the deceased Yang family master who was selling calligraphy and painting for a living. At that time, he was still a young scholar in his prime.

Although Yan Ying was born in a family of businessmen, she has studied with her husband since she was a child, and she is also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. When she took the maid past Yang Sheng's calligraphy and painting stall, she was attracted by his calligraphy and painting.

Originally, she just wanted to buy a calligraphy and painting, but she was targeted by a scoundrel who passed by. The scoundrel was so light-hearted that he even had to move his hands and feet on the street. Although the maid tried her best to protect her, she was a woman after all, and she couldn't resist it at all. At the critical moment, Yang Sheng stood up, he not only helped up the maid who was pushed to the ground, but also protected Yan Ying.

is a very old-fashioned talented and beautiful woman, but she was met by Yan Ying. In addition, this "hero" who stepped forward in times of crisis is still a handsome gentleman who is quite literate, and Yan Ying, who has just turned sixteen, lost a heart in an instant.

Since that day, Yan Ying has always used the time to go shopping to his calligraphy and painting stall. At first, it was simply to buy some calligraphy and paintings as a reward for his rescue. As the two of them spent more and more time together, they gradually talked more. From poetry to poetry, from painting to painting style, and even the people who paint, they can always talk very speculatively.

Once a woman falls in love, she will have no scruples. In order to be able to be with Yang Sheng, Yan Ying begged her father and mother to withdraw from the marriage that had already been set for her. Because his brother was an official in another place, Yan Ying's father and mother even promised Yang Sheng that as long as he joined the Yan family, the Yan family's property would be his.

But this Yang Sheng seems to be a nerd brain, he actually rejected Yan Ying's father's proposal, and was bent on gaining fame. Yan Ying couldn't resist him, and his father and mother also felt that it was good to take the test, so they personally prepared a coil for him, and also found him a small servant to serve him, and asked him to accompany him to Beijing to catch the exam.

That little guy is the future butler of the Yang Mansion, and he is also the one who just died at the feet of Yingniang.

When Yang Sheng went to Beijing, the two had an agreement that no matter whether he had obtained fame or not, he would return on the agreed date and marry her. But what Yan Ying didn't expect was that Yang Sheng had been gone for two years, and there was no news. At that time, Yan Ying was 18 years old, and in the eyes of others, she was already an old girl who couldn't get married.

Just when her parents persuaded Yan Ying to let her choose another family business, something happened to the Yan family. First, his brother was impeached anonymously and sentenced by the emperor to be beheaded. She and her parents didn't even have a chance to see her brother for the last time, and when they arrived at the place, they could only follow to collect his brother's body.

After my brother died, my mother fell seriously ill and barely survived until the spring of the following year, so she followed. At that time, Yan Ying was already nineteen years old and twenty years old. When the peach blossoms landed, she finally waited for Yang Sheng. He also changed his name, and he was no longer the thin white-faced scholar he was when he went to Beijing that day, but became more and more like a person in the business field. And with him his wife.

Before Yan Ying had time to question him why he had betrayed the marriage contract between them, the Yan family was raided by an official surnamed Su on charges that she had never even heard of. As the daughter of the Yan family, she was sentenced to be confiscated into the army, but it was Yang Sheng who came forward with his wife to make peace, and she was retained. Afterwards, she learned that Yang Sheng's wife was the sister of the official surnamed Su.

"Then did you ask him afterwards why he broke the marriage contract and married her?"

"I asked, and he said that the reason why he didn't come back on time was because he had a serious illness on the way to the exam, not only missed the start of the exam, but also almost lost his life. If he hadn't met his wife, he wouldn't have come back alive to see me. I was old, but my mind was still pure, and I believed what he said. But it turns out that these are just nonsense that he made up to deceive me. He married her because he was inflamed and unkind, and even betrayed my brother and ruined our Yan family in order to please that woman's family. ”

"What do you mean......"

"The person who anonymously reported my brother was him, and his wife's brother, the official surnamed Su, was promoted to the third level by taking advantage of my brother's affairs. However, he didn't end well. On the way to his post, he was killed by bandits. ”

After Yingniang finished speaking, she sneered three times.

"What about you? How did you get to where you are now? ”

Yingniang gritted her teeth fiercely and said, "It's because I'm stupid." The Yan family was raided, and overnight, I changed from the second lady of the Yan family to a homeless person. In desperation, I could only follow him all the way from my hometown to Yangjiaji. originally thought that even if he married someone else, he would accept me as a concubine, but from beginning to end, he didn't mention it. I'm like one of his roommates, nameless and pointless.

I was in the same situation then as the green branches are now. I believed him, I waited for him, I thought that as long as I had his child in my womb, even if his wife did not agree, I would be able to enter the door of his Yang family. After all, he and I are also engaged. But I never expected that on the day I learned that I was happy, he personally brought me a bowl of saffron and asked me to beat the child.

I begged him, I knelt on the ground and cried and begged him, but he said that he also had his helplessness, and then poured the bowl of medicine into my mouth regardless of it. I thought that would be the most tragic time in my life, but I didn't expect that more tragic was yet to come. When I woke up, I found myself in a small sedan chair with my hands and feet tied.

I struggled to get out of the sedan chair, only to find that it was a small forest, and there was no one else except the people who carried the sedan chair. They told me that it was the lord and wife of the Yang family who ordered them to send them to their relatives. They also said that the lord and wife of the Yang family pointed out a good family business for me.

I didn't believe it, I begged them to take me back to Yangjiaji, and I wanted to ask the man personally why he did this to me. But those people didn't care at all, they looked at me crying with a smile, and even ...... a trace of hatred in Yingniang's pupils: "They even insulted me." Those are the same people I skinned before. Madame said, "Aren't they all damned!" ”

"It's damned, but I remember that one of the deceased, more than a decade ago, was a child."

"What about children? When I was insulted, he hid behind a small tree. I looked at him with pleading eyes, hoping that he would help me to call some people over, but he didn't move the whole time. If the heart is so cold, what's the use of living? Besides, when he grows up, he is still a scourge, and when I kill him, I also do a good thing for the hundreds of people in the Yang family. ”

"Are you married?"

"Can I not get married?" Yingniang looked at me, her eyes were red: "At that time, I was a weak woman who had no ability to resist, I had no choice, and I didn't have a choice at all." Those people, after bullying me, threw me back into the sedan chair, and I was like a puppet that had just been torn apart and sewn together with needles and threads, and they carried me all the way from Yangjiaji to Gaojiazhai.

When I arrived in Gaojiazhai, I knew why those palanquin drivers did something to me. Because they know that the person I'm going to marry is a dead man, and my husband's family doesn't care what I've been through. The husband who was personally selected for me by the lord and wife of the Yang family was lying in a coffin of mahogany, and his whole person was rotten and unlikely, only the clothes on his body were new. ”

"Ghost Marriage!" Xing Ruyi gently spit out two words.
