"Shh

The young lady gave Xiaohuan a hard look, and Xiaohuan nodded, biting her tongue lightly with her teeth.

"Miss, he's ......"

"He's a guest I've invited, you go out and keep an eye on it, don't let anyone come over. If my uncle asked, he would say that I was not feeling well and had already rested. ”

Xiaohuan nodded, first glanced at the black-robed man, and then looked at Xing Ruyi and the fox who were following behind the black-robed man. When I went out through the door, I closed the door of the room.

The young lady turned around, looked into the eyes of the black-robed man and asked, "Do you have a token on you?" ”

The black-robed man didn't say a word, just nodded slightly, and then pulled out something from where it was close to his chest. A delicate small jade pendant with a small seal engraved with the word "Su".

The young lady's eyes were red, she turned around, walked quickly to the dresser, took out a small jade pendant from the drawer, and handed it to the black-robed man.

"Plain ...... Su Niang? ”

The black-robed man excitedly called the young lady's maiden name, and his two hands unconsciously stretched forward, but he didn't dare to make any further intimate moves.

"I know that person is not you, even though he looks exactly like you, but I know in my heart that it is not you." Su Niang walked to the black-robed man with a soft mutter, and looked at his eyes carefully: "It's these eyes." Even though he has the same eyes as you, I can't see myself in those eyes. You're my husband, my true husband, aren't you? ”

Su Niang said, wanting to lift the cloak of the black-robed man.

"Nope! No way! I'm afraid, I'm afraid to scare you. ”

"Don't be afraid! What could be more terrible in this world than your disappearance? Besides, I still guard a fake husband all day long. I knew he was fake, but I couldn't tell him. ”

"I'm sorry, Su Niang!"

"It's okay, I know, it's not that you won't come back, you just won't come back. Over the years, I have worked very hard and waited very hard. Especially, when I was facing him, I wanted to die countless times. But I'm not reconciled, I always feel like you'll come back. Well, you have to tell me why you can't come back.

Xianggong, let me see what you look like, okay? ”

The black-robed man still wanted to stop Su Niang, but looking at her reddish eyes, he could only let her gently take off her cloak.

The black-robed man closed his eyes, he thought he would hear the screams, he would hear Su Niang make a strange sound, but there was none. Su Niang just calmly brushed his wrinkled face with her hand, and then said softly: "It turns out that this is what you look like when you get old." ”

"Su Niang—"

"Surprised, right? Why didn't I panic when I saw you? Su Niang smiled faintly: "It has been more than ten years since you left." For such a long time, don't say that you will be old, but I have also changed. Besides, I haven't seen anyone who grew old overnight. I've seen it, so I know that it's not that you don't come back, you just can't come back. ”

"Su Niang." The black-robed man called Su Niang's name and took her into his arms: "Tell me, tell me what happened at home?" What about the father-in-law? Also, who is that person who looks exactly like me? ”

"Don't worry, I'll tell you, I'll tell you."

Su Niang took a deep breath, pulled the black-robed man to the table and sat down, and at the same time dimmed the light of the lamps and candles in the room.

"You two must be friends with my husband. Have a seat! ”

"Madame is more calm than we thought." Xing Ruyi said, holding the fox's arm: "Let me introduce myself first, my surname is Xing, and the small character is Ruyi." This is my husband, surnamed Yin, a famous minister. The name was a bit awkward, so I gave him an alias called Fox. ”

"It turned out to be Mr. Yin and Mrs. Yin." Su Niang nodded: "Madame just said that she didn't expect Su Niang to be so calm, Madam was wrong, Su Niang is not calm, but she has seen many such things over the years, and she is used to it, and it is no longer strange." ”

"Accustomed to it?" Xing Ruyi showed a strong interest in these four words.

"Accustomed to it." Su Niang's expression became extremely unnatural: "It's been too long, and Su Niang doesn't know where to start for a while." ”

"Let's start with him—" Xing Ruyi pointed to the black-robed man, "Let's start with your father-in-law leaving home." ”

Su Niang glanced at the black-robed man and nodded: "That year, my husband went to Beijing to take the exam, and when he left, my husband and wife had an agreement that no matter what the result was, he would rush back as soon as possible." For me, if my husband can go to high school, I will be happy, and if I don't win, it doesn't matter. My family has a small property, and my father only has one daughter, so it is not impossible for my husband to come back to help with the family business.

Before my husband left, I gave him one of the pair of kodama pendants left by my mother. I hope he carries it with him, and misses it all the time. At that time, I didn't know that my father disliked his husband's origin. ”

"You said you didn't know it then, but that means you knew later?"

"Hmm!" Su Niang nodded: "After my husband left, life has become a lot more difficult, and I am trying to get by almost every day." Spring goes to autumn, cold and summer alternate, and a year has passed in a blink of an eye. At first, I could still hear from my husband, but then he didn't hear from him.

My father told me that after my husband entered Beijing, he hated the poor and loved the rich, and became the son-in-law of an official in Beijing. I refused because I had an argument with my father about this and was imprisoned by him for a few days.

At that time, my father was very resolute and insisted on marrying me no matter how hard I begged. Just when I was determined to die, things took a turn for the worse. Husband, he's back. ”

"The husband in your mouth is referring to the uncle who lives in the mansion right now?"

"Hmm!" Su Niang nodded: "My husband is back, I am happy, and my father has no reason to let me to someone else." Just when I thought that I could live with my husband Jun Ansheng from now on, I realized that something was not quite right. First of all, Daddy's attitude towards her husband. From all kinds of contempt in the past, to submissiveness, he seems to be very afraid of my husband. Then, it was my husband's attitude towards me, which I always felt a little unfamiliar. ”

"After a year of separation, it is normal for husband and wife to be a little estranged."

"Yes! Mrs. Yin was right. At first, Su Niang also thought that the strange feeling was because she hadn't been with her husband for a long time, but later I found out that this was not the case. Although that person looks the same as his husband, his speech and demeanor are different in many aspects. A person, even if he is away from home for a long time, it is impossible to abandon the original me. ”

"Su Niang is a careful person."

"It's not that Su Niang is careful. This feeling should be a woman's instinct. Su Niang believes that if he is the next day, the gentleman next to Mrs. will change his appearance, and Mrs. will be able to recognize him at the first time. ”

"That's right." Xing Ruyi glanced at the fox and said in his heart, isn't this just a different face.

"One day, about half a year later, I got up early to deliver soup to my father, and overheard a conversation between him and the housekeeper. Daddy asked the housekeeper to check the details of Fujun, saying that he suspected that the person who came back was not my husband at all. From the conversation between my father and the housekeeper, I learned that as early as when my husband went to Beijing to take the exam, my father ordered the housekeeper to find someone to put my husband to death.

In a panic, I broke the medicine bowl in my hand and was found by my father. Daddy panicked and ordered the butler to drag me into the room. It was only under my constant questioning that I told everything about it. The housekeeper said that according to his father's instructions, he was originally going to look for the killer in the rivers and lakes, but by mistake, he met a master who knew Taoism, so he asked the master to help deal with his husband. As for the method used, he didn't know, but he heard from the little guy sent out that the matter was done, and it was absolutely impossible for the husband to come back in this life. ”

"What is the matter with what the lady just said about taking things for granted?"

"That was later. Since I was told the truth by my father, I have more doubts about my husband's identity. At that time, my heart was not as calm as it is today, and I was seen by the fake husband. Although he didn't show anything, soon after, the housekeeper in the house disappeared, followed by his father, who was seriously ill and dragged on for a while, and also died. ”

"Is it your fake husband's hands and feet?"

"I don't have any proof, maybe it's all just a coincidence." Su Niang sighed: "In addition to Xiaohuan, there is also a girl named Xiaoyuan by my side." Madoka's temperament is different from Xiaohuan, she is more attentive and calm. I was already suspicious of the fake husband at the time, so I asked Madoka to help investigate secretly. Results ......"

"The result?"

As a result, Madoka was accidentally bitten by a snake as she passed through the garden. She forced herself in front of me, and before she could finish her sentence, she swallowed. What's even more terrifying is that after she took her last breath, her hair turned white and her face quickly sunken. It's like suddenly changing from a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl to a seventy or eighty-year-old woman. ”

"Does your fake husband know about this?"

"Yes." Su Niang nodded: "Even if I want to hide it, I can't hide it, at that time, my father and housekeeper are no longer there, and he is in charge of all the big and small things in the house." I knew I couldn't hide it, so I let Xiaohuan expand the matter, and I pretended to be frightened and "sick" for a while. ”

"And after that?"

After that, many people disappeared in the house one after another. reported to the official, but the government didn't find anything. I know in my heart that nine times out of ten, these things are inseparable from my fake husband. But what can I do as a weak woman? I can only investigate secretly and try to keep it as quiet as possible. In a flash, he even pretended to be all these years. If you hadn't shown up today, I'd probably be used to it. ”

"Madame is right."

Xing Ruyi had just finished speaking, and then he heard the sound of pushing the door. Xiaohuan walked in with a nervous face, and said in a low voice: "Oh no, my uncle is here!" ”
