If it is really as Xiao Dong said, Bai Chuxi has already left the camp, then he will be able to return to the imperial city in less than a month or so.

Thinking about it, the corners of Rong Changning's mouth couldn't help but rise, but it fell quickly, as if she didn't want to let people know how happy she was in her heart: "You put this in the warehouse first, and see if the lotus lamp is tied." ”

"Huh." Xiao Dong packed his things and was about to leave with a basket full of them, and when he met Xiao Qiu coming over and Xiao Dong nodded and pushed aside to let Xiao Dong go over first, and then came to Rong Changning: "Miss, Master Hou asked you to come over." ”

"What? Do you want to ask for a doctor? It's good for my father to go and ask for it himself. ”

"I said I had something to discuss with Miss."

Rong Changning raised his eyebrows, and he probably understood what he meant. The family has invited too many doctors in the past year, and I am afraid that my father will not be able to go again.

Knowing that he was friendly with the daughter of the Zhao family, he wanted to ask himself to ask Imperial Doctor Zhao to take care of Rong Yu in private. Rong Changning asked, "How sick is the little boy?" ”

"I started to talk nonsense, and the waiters said it was weird and terrible. Aunt Xu was also desperate, and she began to pray to God and worship Buddha, and she was also planning to go to Haihui Temple to do a ritual. ”

"......" Rong Changning suddenly laughed, making people unsure of what she meant, Xiaoqiu asked, "Does the young lady want to go to the main courtyard to have a look?" ”

"If I don't look at it, I will say that I have a terrible headache and can't get up."

"Then what if Master Hou calls the eldest lady? Do you want to tell the eldest lady? ”

"It's just a wind chill, and the Xu family is shouting to ask for a doctor when the sky falls. The eldest sister listened to her father the most, and she learned that she would meet her. There you go. ”

"Yes, the slave went first."

In this way, Xu Yunqiao is about to hold on. Rong Changning raised his slender arm and rubbed his eyebrows, and the white jade bracelet slid from his wrist to his arm.

At the same time, Rong Changning was also a little worried about whether Rong Changning could stand it. If Xu Yunqiao hadn't associated this matter with himself, what would he do? Could it be that I still have to remind her?

Wait a little longer, she won't be able to hold on for a few days.

Xiaoqiu went back to the people in the main courtyard according to what Rong Changning said, and Rong Chuan heard a handful of tortoise shells smashed on the ground in his hand: "Did she really say that?" ”

Xu Yunqiao spread out to the side, looking into the distance with empty eyes. She no longer made noise, no more noisy, and no longer cried, but she was more determined in her speculation. No matter what Rong Chuan said, she had no intention of listening to it anymore.

On the night of Aunt Yao's death, Rong Changning's weird smile filled his mind as he stood in the Lujia Courtyard. She shook her head secretly, it seemed that even if the Holy Imperial Doctor came, he would not be able to cure Rong Yu's illness.

In the end, without waiting for Rongchuan to call her, she left the main courtyard in despair, leaving the courtyard where Princess Yonglu Xiao Jingyu lived and ended her life, and it was also the courtyard she longed to move in......

On the Midyear Festival, a dojo was set up in the imperial city, and people went to worship their deceased relatives during the day, and went to Fengjiang to release river lanterns at dusk. There are several plates of white steamed buns neatly placed on the fork in the crossing, and people originally come and go, but as night approaches, it gradually tends to be deserted.

Rong Changning stayed in the house all day and didn't go anywhere. took Xiaodong to the ancestral hall to turn out the clay basin, knelt in front of the ancestral tablet and burned paper money.

The dim reddish firelight illuminated Rong Changning's side face, and the silhouette fell on the wall.

The door remained open, as if it had been left for someone. She slowly tossed the paper money into the pot, and watched as they were consumed by the fire, turning to ashes and falling at the feet of the flames.

Xiao Dong looked out along the crack in the door and saw a figure: "Miss, it seems that someone is coming." ”

Rong Changning stared at the flames, and didn't say a word. Finally heard the door squeak and was pushed open, Xiao Dong saw Xu Yunqiao standing behind with his fists clenched and his mouth pursed, put down the things in his hand and got up and exited the ancestral hall, leaving her and Rong Changning alone inside.

When he got outside, he raised his hand and called Xiaoqiu: "Go and tell the people who are working outside to disperse." ”

"Huh." Love Net

Inside, Rong Changning continued to burn paper money without waves, and after hearing Xu Yunqiao's voice for a long time, he asked first: "Auntie is so tough, don't you have to kneel when you see the ancestors of the Rong family?" ”

I don't know if it's smoked or firelight, Xu Yunqiao's eyes are red. Even though she was full of stubbornness that refused to admit defeat, she still knelt on the cushion beside Rong Changning and asked bluntly: "It's you, right?" ”

Rong Changning threw the paper money in his hand into the fire: "There's no reason, what do you say?" ”

"It must be you, so Yu'er will be seriously ill."

"If you doubt, why don't you go to your father and file a complaint? Isn't my aunt the most crying and soft-hearted? Isn't false accusation and planting the best at it? ”

“……”

Rong Changning put down the paper money in his hand, knelt on the cushion, and looked at the spiritual position behind the incense case and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's better for me to tell my aunt." You have no evidence, no reason to say that my illness is related to me. Then you dare not and cannot rush to your father. You are afraid that he will find it troublesome and trivial, and that you will be unreasonable and crazy and bite indiscriminately, and just because of your hatred for me, you will disturb the family and the house. ”

Saying that, Rong Changning breathed a sigh of relief: "Since this is the case, why does my aunt still suspect me?" Because this is how my mother fell ill at the beginning, and even if she recovered from the illness, she continued to linger on the sickbed, and finally quietly ended her life. Maybe the mother was really thin, but in the end she noticed something unusual. So I turned against you everywhere, seeking medical advice, and looking through all the accounts of the house and the prescriptions that my mother had used. You were afraid, so you instigated Rongxin to burn down the treasury where the account books were kept. Later, I also fell ill, and then later, I fell ill. So, do you suspect that I personally tested the medicine and tried the methods you used against my mother? ”

The words have come to this, and Xu Yunqiao has nothing to avoid: "You know everything......"

"I don't know."

"You don't know how you can make Yu'er like this?!" She shouted desperately, but she never dared to move Rong Changning: "You said you don't know?" Rong Changning, how can your good Hou Mansion daughter learn to sing music? ! ”

"You think I know." Rong Changning lowered his head, slowly turned his eyes, and looked at Xu Yunqiao's anxious and angry appearance, and hooked the corners of his mouth like a ghost.

Under the firelight, Rong Changning's smile was charming and terrifying: "You are so vicious and good at tricks, how can I admit that I know?" You and Ben didn't poison your mother, you used food and medicine to restrain each other. After you succeeded, your mother became more and more frail, so you control most of the things at home, which makes it more convenient for you to start. So you get even harder, until your mother has exhausted her last breath. But I'm curious, why didn't the imperial doctor from the palace find out? Later, I learned that it was because your daughter had been carefully and secretly changing the kitchen booklet. Although the imperial doctor felt strange, he had no way to verify it, and he couldn't say why. Didn't expect that, right? You are so stupid to give birth to such a shrewd daughter. ”

"So you do the same with my son? He's your own brother! He's only twelve years old, and he's always been respectful to you! How do you do it? ”

"I think he's my own brother. If I don't recognize him, he's nothing. If you want him to take Arro's place, ask me if I would like to. You can kill Ah Ruo for your son, and I can also kill Rong Yu for my brother. In this way, I don't have to worry about it anymore. ”

'Killing' her son came out of her mouth as if it were eating. In the past, Xu Yunqiao didn't believe that Rong Changning dared to ask for people's lives, but now Rong Changning is really daunting.

"You don't want to come to me, you don't want to kneel at my feet even if you die. It's just that you don't know when and where I did something to Rong Xun, so you came to beg me to stop. Rong Changning looked at Xu Yunqiao with embarrassed eyes: "But I'm only bent on killing him now, what should I do?" ”

Xu Yunqiao's extremely delicate hands were clenched into fists, and the nails were embedded in the palms and oozing blood. Rong Yu is her last confidence in this Hou Mansion, and it is also the only sustenance. At the beginning, she could be raised as a concubine, but it was also a mother and a son. All her hard work and patience were poured into Rong Yu.

Now that Rong Changning said that he wanted to kill Rong Yunqiao, he undoubtedly pinched Xu Yunqiao's throat, and he could decide her life and death between his hands.

"There are many ways to want your son to die, and why Lu'er is seriously ill, you know better than anyone else." Rong Changning stood up and patted the folds on the corner of his skirt: "Xu Yunqiao, since you entered the Hou Mansion, I can't remember how much trouble has happened, and I don't bother to remember." If you want to be healed, I'll show you the way. ”

Rong Changning lifted the black veil on his body, looked condescendingly at Xu Yunqiao on the ground, his blood-red lips opened lightly, and he told her as easily as if he was talking about today's weather: "You go to your father and tell me how you killed my mother, and how Rong Yu jumped off the pond to frame Ah Ruo." When you give it all to you, that's when you are healed. Otherwise, I will lose a thousand to myself, and I will destroy you eight hundred. All this ...... Including the pain that Rong Yu suffered, it was all caused by you. I'll just wait for you until tomorrow morning. ”

After saying that, Rong Changning simply brushed his sleeves away, pushed open the door of the ancestral hall, and the sound was not loud, which frightened Xu Yunqiao for a while. She looked back at Rong Changning's figure, closed her eyes in despair, covered her face and cried silently, and finally gathered herself into a ball and couldn't get up for a long time holding on to the incense case.

Outside the door, Rong Changning took Xiao Dong and Aunt Lin towards the Wanqing Courtyard without looking back, and the fire in the clay pot was not extinguished.

Rong Changning still had a straight face, and she still couldn't laugh until the end.

Midyear Festival, a hundred ghosts walk at night.

Will my mother's also return to the Hou Mansion to reunite with her?

If she saw Xu Yunqiao who was forced into a corner by herself, would she be very pleased?
