"So-"

Xing Ruyi took a sip of tea.

"What difference does it make when I tell you and when I don't. Even if I knew that the skin was red, even if I knew that the skin was peeled off by Mrs. Yuan, so what? I didn't kill people, I didn't peel off my skin, even if I changed my face for Mrs. Yuan, I still used people's money to do things for others.

As for the skinned red, it seems to me that it is just a dead life. She betrayed her mother and seduced her master, she deserved to die, and as a maid who was pawned and sold into the house, her life and death were originally up to Mrs. Yuan, even if she was an adult in your family, she couldn't say anything. I, an outsider who runs a rouge shop, have no position to accuse Madame.

Mrs. Yuan is at fault, the fault is that she should not have killed innocents online, and she is today, which is also her retribution. ”

"You, it's not like Ruyi I know."

"That's where you've never seen the real me." Xing Ruyi put down the teacup: "I'm not an innocent and kind little girl, let alone the kind of gentle and considerate homely woman." In my heart, there is no absolute good or evil, and there is no absolute standard or framework in my style. To put it bluntly, I do things only by whether I like it or not. ”

Liu Sheng's eyes dimmed, and he pointed at Mrs. Yuan and said, "It's not too early, let's change her face." ”

"Madame, please!"

"Help me, help me change my face quickly." Mrs. Yuan grabbed Xing Ruyi's arm tightly and handed her the cheeks.

"According to the rules in the shop, I have to ask Mrs. again, does this cheeky lady really want to change?"

"It's going to be changed, it's going to be changed."

"Madame doesn't regret it?"

"No regrets."

"Madame, are you afraid of pain?"

"What?"

"This face change is different from the last time. Last time, I peeled off my wife's own skin, and my face was loyal to my wife, and I would not struggle to resist. This time, it was to remove the red skin from the lady's face, and the face must be unwilling for the sake of himself. When the skin is removed, the lady will suffer the same pain as Yan Hong. Ma'am, do you regret it? ”

Madame Yuan raised her eyes, and there was a hint of fear in her eyes, but that fear was quickly replaced by resoluteness.

She clenched her fists slightly, closed her eyes, and said, "I'm not afraid, for the sake of the master, I'm not afraid of anything." ”

"Why bother? In this world, Master Yuan is not the only man. ”

"But in this world, there is only one person I love, but the master." Mrs. Yuan said bitterly: "Just think that I owe him in my last life, and I will repay it in this life." ”

"Even so, that wishful thinking can only fulfill Mrs. Xing Ruyi glanced at the magpie and Liu Sheng, "Time is tight, let's change your face here." Magpie, go back to the backyard, and don't come out without my summons. As for you, whether to go or stay, to see or to avoid, it's all up to you. ”

"Let's get started!" Yanagi stood, motionless.

Xing Ruyi pulled out a sharp knife, the tip of the knife was extremely sharp, she leaned over slightly, and aimed the tip of the knife at the contour of Madame Yuan's jaw.

Xing Ruyi's movements were very fast, and his technique was very good, almost in the blink of an eye, a complete face was rested on the table. What appeared in front of Yanagi was a bloody face, and the facial features on the face were twisted with pain.

Even if he is fast, even if he is used to seeing life and death, and he is used to seeing all kinds of dead corpses, he is still not strong enough to face such a cruel picture. He turned his back and forced down the uncomfortable feeling in his throat, and his eyes swayed, and he was a little dizzy.

"If it's uncomfortable, spit it out."

Xing Ruyi packed up the skin he had taken off and handed it to Liu Sheng along with the confession written by Mrs. Yuan.

Yanagi looked up, his eyes filled with infinite fear.

"I don't think you'll want to see me anymore." Xing Ruyi lightly hooked the corners of his lips, but there was no smile on his face: "Remember, the skin in this brocade box is alive and cannot be taken out." After the case is heard, you will take your face to Yizhuang and return it to Yanhong, and the haunting of Yizhuang will naturally disappear. As for that Miaomiao, don't worry, she'll be fine. ”

Liu Sheng nodded, took the brocade box, and his gaze fell on Mrs. Yuan. When he saw Mrs. Yuan's face, he had the feeling that everything he had just seen was a fantasy.

On the second day after Mrs. Yuan was taken away by Liu Sheng, a man with a slender figure and a ruined appearance, who had wrapped himself in black clothes all over his body, appeared in front of the palace gate. He called himself Liu Wugen, a former associate of Yuan Ji Buzhuang, and hid after the fire in Buzhuang. He said that Mrs. Yuan was wronged, and the side room of the Yuan family was skinned by him, and he told the location of the skinning and the hiding place of the skinning tools on the spot.

He also admitted that he did the murder of the Yuan family. The maid who died in Mrs. Yuan's bedroom was killed by him, and his purpose was to disturb people and help Mrs. Yuan fulfill her own wish.

Liu Wugen also said that all this was voluntary because he wanted to repay the favor. Back then, when Yuan Ji Buzhuang caught fire, he was almost burned to death by the fire because of snooze, and it was his wife who rescued him from the fire regardless of his safety. Madame is right, it is he who is wrong, he is willing to bear all the blame, and he is willing to pay for his life.

Liu Wugen was sentenced to beheading, and Mrs. Yuan was released after a few days of detention due to lack of evidence. When I walked out of the mansion, the first thing I did was to go back to find Master Yuan, but the courtyard of the Yuan family was empty, and what Mrs. Yuan saw was still the box of silver taels on the table.

Some people say that Master Yuan went to the monastery and became a monk who ate fasting and recited scriptures. Mrs. Yuan looked for him for a long time with the box of silver, and scattered all the gold, but she never found him.

The two things that Xing Ruyi gave to Liu Sheng, Liu Sheng did not submit. He knew that if the adults believed in the matter of peeling, Ruyi and her Ruyi rouge shop would be inseparable. If the adult does not believe, then his submission becomes meaningless.

He returned the face in the brocade box to Yan Hong according to what Xing Ruyi said, and instructed Lao Chen to burn the brocade box and Yan Hong's body as soon as possible. Chen Miaomiao recovered, and soon after, under Lao Chen's arrangement, she married an honest and generous farmer and lived a plain but happy life. Occasionally, there will be a woman in red who falls into a dream, can't see her face, and is scared and panicked. But every time she panicked, there would always be an arm next to her who silently hugged her.

Lin Hu came out of prison, and the first thing he did when he came out was to go to the Ruyi Rouge Shop to beg for food, and looked at the big-bellied Xing Ruyi, so he rolled up his sleeves and went down to the kitchen by himself.

The affairs of the Yuan family began in an almost absurd way, and ended in an almost absurd way.

Afterwards, the magpie once asked Xing Ruyi, why did he put bellflower in the cloth bag for Mrs. Yuan, and did the bellflower really work?

Xing Ruyi smiled and said: "The bellflower can't make Yanhong afraid, and what Yanhong is afraid of is not the bellflower, but the person hidden behind the bellflower." ”

"The guy hiding behind Kikyo? Is it the doctor who treated Mrs. Yuan? ”

Xing Ruyi shook her head, but did not answer her.

Except for Xing Ruyi, probably no one in this world will know that Yan Hong had admired a boy of her age before she got along with Master Yuan. The boy's family is a medicine collector, and he often picks a large handful of bellflower when the bellflower blooms and gives it to Yanhong. Later, Yan Hong fell in love with Master Yuan, who was more considerate and coaxing, and the boy followed silently and went to Yuan Ji Buzhuang to be a young man. The fire was set by Yan Hong, and it was the young man she was going to burn to death, and she was worried that the young man would tell her about her past. The young man saw her, and he knew that Yan Hong wanted him to die, so instead of fleeing, he handed over a well-dried bunch of bellflower flowers before the fire broke out.

Yan Hong fled with mixed feelings, and every year after that, she dreamed of that scene, of the boy, of the bouquet of bellflowers.

What Yan Hong didn't know was that the boy was not dead, he was found by Mrs. Yuan, Ning Xin, who had returned to the warehouse to rescue the fabric, and braved the fire to rescue him from the fire. This is also the truth why he was injured more than Ning Xin. His love with Yan Hong is gone, but he owes Mrs. Yuan the love, and he has to pay it back.

He personally removed Yan Hong's face and handed it to Mrs. Yuan, but in his selfish heart, he couldn't bear Yan Hong to die like that, so he put Yan Hong's body outside Luoyang City. What happened after that, that's what the big guys know.

Everyone's mind is complicated, Yan Hong is like this, Mrs. Yuan is like this, and so is the disfigured young man.

On the night Liu Wugen was beheaded, Xing Ruyi's leg began to cramp again.

She opened her eyes with difficulty, trying to adjust her sleeping position, but was completely awakened by the pain of churning in her lower abdomen.

"Hmm......" She took a deep breath, looked at her stomach, and muttered to herself: "Little fox, do you want to come out?" ”

As if in response to her, the feeling of pain became clearer and clearer, and Xing Ruyi knew that this was a labor pain, a signal that the little fox was about to be born. She held the edge of the bed hard and called out the magpie's name, but in her heart she cursed the fox.

"Stinky fox, dead fox, it's all this time, why haven't you come back. Listen, listen to me, if you haven't appeared before the child is born, I won't pay attention to you for the rest of my life. I swear...... I swear, I'll take our kids and hide them so you can't find them. Not...... It hurts, why does it hurt so much to have a baby? ”

Xing Ruyi subconsciously clenched her fists, and when she was about to smash the bed, her hand was clenched.

"Ruyi—"

It's a fox, it's the voice of a fox.

She opened her eyes, looked at the familiar handsome face in front of her, almost subconsciously slapped it, and said in a voice that was sobbing in pain: "You dead fox, do you still know to come back?" ”
