Li Shenlan was helped by Bang Chun to sit on one side, and the captain ordered someone to find Liu Xiang's identity. After waiting for only half a cup of tea, the next person led Xiao into the door.

As soon as Xiao entered the door, he saw the Tai Lieutenant sitting on top of him glaring at him, and even Mrs. Li, who had always disliked form, stared at him with resentment.

On the way here, I heard that the second lady was poisoned, and Xiao was thinking about how to justify himself all the way.

"The poison in Shen Lan was given by you." Tai Wei was not in a questioning tone, and everyone could see that this was determined to be Xiao Shi's doing.

But the Xiao family pretended to know nothing, and the person stood straight, and when he saw Li Shenlan, he even ran to her side to ask about his body.

"Why does Aunt Xiao care so much? When Li Mingyue was sent out of the house, I was afraid that I would reverse black and white with you, so that you would go to great lengths to put me to death! ”

Li Shenlan didn't want to give Xiao a good face at all, she thought that Li Mingyue was the daughter of the Taiwei, and since she had been driven out of the mansion, Li Shenlan wanted to give up. It's just that now Li Mingyue can instruct Xiao to poison herself, and her life is almost gone, so she naturally doesn't have to be merciful.

Seeing that Li Shenlan led the conversation to Li Mingyue, Xiao immediately changed his face, and stopped saying the words of concern on his lips.

"Second Miss, what are you talking nonsense, the concubine knows that you have been poisoned, and she hurried to visit, how can you say that it is poisoned by Yue'er!"

"Did I say that?" Li Shenlan didn't look at Xiao either, she lowered her head and stared at her toes, listened to Xiao's quibbles, raised her eyes and looked at her coldly, and said in a low voice, "Aunt Xiao is afraid that she is a thief, right?" ”

From Xiao's point of view, she couldn't tell what was going on with Li Shenlan, who was so whispering that she felt a little frightened. Raising his eyes to look at the Tai Lieutenant, the Tai Lieutenant was a little less angry, but his indifferent eyes made Xiao Shi feel like he was looking at himself, acting?

"Old ...... Master, don't listen to the second lady's nonsense, the concubine is really here...... came to visit the second lady. That poison, there is no evidence to prove that it was done by the concubine! ”

As soon as Xiao's words fell, before the Taiwei could speak, Xu on the side chuckled.

"Sister Xiao is not honest when she says this, you come to visit the second lady, can you take a look at the second miss's body? Besides, if you are really worried about the body of the second lady, we have been here for a long time, and we will not see you coming. The master doesn't order someone to pass on you, I'm afraid you're going to rest, right? ”

"Aunt Xu, what do you mean!"

"Enough!" Taiwei couldn't stand Xiao's clumsy acting skills for a long time, and when he saw the two of them arguing, he put the tea cup on the table heavily. For a while, everyone didn't dare to come out, and there was only the echo of the tea cup touching the tabletop in the room.

"You don't have to quibble anymore, you came to beg me that day, I agreed to let you send something to Li Mingyue in consideration of the past feelings, but I didn't expect to make you two embarrassed!"

Xiao Shi still wanted to quibble, but before she could speak, Taiwei threw a letter in Xiao's face. The letter was nothing else, it was the news that Li Mingyue gave to Xiao Shidi that day, which made her look for a colorless and tasteless poison and an opportunity to poison Li Shenlan.

"Sir! It's not ......"

"Isn't it? You can deny it, but the willow fragrance behind you doesn't dare to deny it. I can remember clearly this wind identity card in my hand, who is the third household in the suburbs of Danxi, Liu Xiang dares to forget! ”

Liu Xiang, who had been kneeling behind Xiao's family, was stunned when she heard this, and then desperately begged for mercy and confessed, and everyone heard in the words that the Danxi people in Taiwei's mouth were Liu Xiang's father and sister who were nursing outside.

It is said that since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve, and Taiwei threatened Liu Xiang's father and mother, and Liu Xiang didn't care about Xiao's entrustment at all, and immediately recruited a clean one.

From Liu Xiang's words, I learned that after receiving Li Mingyue's letter that day, Xiao gave himself a bag of silver and went to a fruit shop on East Street. The owner of the shop is a distant relative of the Xiao family, and he will naturally do things when he takes the money. Then Liu Xiang took a basket of sweet fruits, and Liuxia, who was deliberately waiting to go out, pretended to bump into him, causing Liuxia to go to buy the poisonous fruits prepared by the shop owner early in the morning.

Every word Liu Xiang said, everything is very detailed, so that people can believe it even if they don't believe it. Seeing this, Xiao Shi also breathed a sigh of relief, and sat on the ground silently weeping, trying to get the Tai Lieutenant's attention and ask for some mercy.

But after listening to Liu Xiang's words, Taiwei looked at Xiao Shi with an indifferent expression.

"Xiao Jinxiu, I told you since the day you took you into the mansion, don't touch my bottom line. In this Captain's Mansion, you can fight openly and secretly, but you must not kill people or disrupt my plans. ”

The lieutenant said calmly, the voice was not cold, and when he heard it, he even felt a little scared. It's like in the dark night when you can't see your fingers, there are ants crawling on you, itching you densely and eating you.

After so many years with Taiwei, they all said that the person who knew each other best was the person next to him, and Xiao naturally knew what Taiwei's tone meant at this time.

"Master, it's the concubine's fault, it's all the concubine's idea! But the second lady is resentful of Yue'er first, and this matter really doesn't care about Yue'er's business! ”

In the end, Xiao was still excusing Li Mingyue.

Taiwei also ignored it, but just raised his voice to order, and decided that this play was also the end of Xiao's.

"Come on, today is the happy day of Shen Lan's selection, and it is customary not to see blood, so first lock the Xiao family in the firewood room, and tomorrow morning, give yourself to suicide. Although Liu Xiang is Xiao's dowry, she doesn't know how to dissuade her master, and she also helps her to abuse her and break her leg to drive her out of the house! ”

Seeing Xiao Shi enter a puppet with a broken thread and be dragged out of the door, Taiwei also felt tired and tight, and asked Li Shenlan to rest early and prepare to go back to his yard.

Seeing this, Xu followed behind with Li Yunqi, who was already asleep, and said casually: "Sister Xiao is really confused, don't be angry, don't you say that you want to pick up the third lady back at dinner......

"What to pick up, it's not too much to stay in Zhuangzi for the rest of your life!"

Taiwei said angrily, and at this time, he didn't look at Xu, and flicked his sleeves and went out. The Xu family achieved its goal, it didn't matter if Taiwei was angry or not, and everyone left Xiaoyuxuan.

After everyone left, Li Shenlan finally sat down on the chair with a sigh of relief. Because of the poisoning, although there is no worry about life after the detoxification, but after sitting here for a long time, the wind blows, and my head is still dizzy.

"Miss is not feeling well, hurry back to bed and rest." Bang Chun worriedly helped Li Shenlan.

But Li Shenlan shook her head, raised her eyes to look at Liuxia who was still kneeling on the ground, and stretched out her hand to signal her to come to her.

"Am I treating you badly?"

Hearing this, Liuxia hurriedly knelt on the ground again, and kept kowtowing to Li Shenlan, but the skin on his forehead broke in a few clicks.

"The young lady treats the slaves and maids very well, and the slaves and maids are treated like masters. Miss, the slave maid is really an unintentional mistake this time, the slave maid doesn't dare, she doesn't dare anymore! ”

"The four of you were sent to my house together, and I know that you are a simple-minded person for the past six months, so I believe that you were just taken advantage of by them for your loyalty. However, stay in the summer. ”

Li Shenlan was halfway through speaking, and felt that it was necessary to remind them, otherwise if everyone wanted to stay in Xia and be used like this, then they would not know how they would die in the future.

"You can do it once, not twice. If the next time something happens because of this, don't say it's someone else, it's me, the first one can't tolerate you. ”

Li Shenlan's voice rose several degrees when she said this, the four of them had never seen Li Shenlan so stern, and they all knelt in front of them and swore loyalty.

"All right, I am also tired, go down. Bang Chun came in and cleaned up for me. ”

In the bedroom, Li Shenlan was sweating when she was asleep, and Bang Chun was changing her underwear again.

"Xiao Shi corresponds to Li Mingyue every few days?"

Bang Chun stopped what he was doing and thought about it for a moment and replied, "It is estimated that it will be sent once in five days, but the Xiao family only begged the master to go a while ago, and now it is estimated that he has sent two or three letters." ”

"Two or three ......"

Li Shenlan stood there with empty eyes, letting Bang Chun tie the button for herself, but what she was thinking about was the content of Li Mingyue's letter to Xiao.

However, two or three times, the Xiao family had already discussed with Li Mingyue to poison himself, and the mansion knew exactly where his father and mother lived, except for Taiwei and Bang Chun, there was only Li Mingyue. Will Li Mingyue also tell Xiao about this? Or does Lu Xin also know that the original address was not checked by Lu Xin's people?

So will Li Mingyue use the Xiao family to intend to harm her father and mother together with Lu Xin? Anyway, Li Mingyue can even kill herself, and she still cares about a pair of inconsequential old men?

"No, do you know where Guan Xiao's firewood house is?"

Bang Chun didn't expect Li Shenlan to ask this, and he was stunned for a moment before replying, "I know, the people who make mistakes in the house are all locked up." ”

"Take me there, and I'll ask her if there's anything else besides today. can communicate with Lu Xin, Li Mingyue's only channel is Xiao's, if she doesn't know the existence of her father, I can rest assured. ”

The two hurriedly found the place where Xiao was imprisoned, and Bang Chun was afraid that someone would come, so he stayed outside the courtyard, leaving Li Shenlan alone to go in to see Xiao.

Guan Xiao's firewood house is not eye-catching, it looks like it is in disrepair, and the window paper is broken. Li Shenlan saw that no one was guarding the door, and when she was puzzled, she saw two figures reflected in the candlelight in the house.

Li Shenlan hurriedly put away her steps and walked in quietly, only to hear that in addition to the Xiao family, the other one should have rested, Mrs. Li.

"You're here to see me off on my way?"

Listening to Xiao's words, it is obvious that Mrs. Li has just arrived. Li Shenlan estimated that she and Mrs. Li were estimated to be a front foot and a back foot.

"Naturally, how can I say that Aunt Xiao has also been in the house for so many years, and I, as the mother of the family, should come to give it away."

"Heh, hahahaha!" Xiao Shi laughed presumptuously when he heard this, but the next second he changed his tone, "Don't think I don't know, that cheap maid of the Xu family is your person." ”

"Oh?" Mrs. Li sneered and looked at the woman in front of her, and that look was clearly the only one that the victor had. "Xu is just a singer girl that the master looks at from the teahouse, how can she be my person?"

Xiao was not to be outdone, although his eyes were half-squinted, he stared at Mrs. Li's eyes fiercely, and he was unwilling to let go of a single detail.

"Didn't you arrange it early in the morning? Otherwise, how can a concubine give birth to a male under your authority? ”

Xiao Shi looked at Mrs. Li, and only wanted to step forward and kill this hypocritical woman now, but he was already a person who was about to enter the earth, so what else could he do at this moment.

"You tell me honestly, my first child, is it your handiwork." Xiao almost gritted his teeth and asked.

"How's it going? Isn't it? Mrs. Li still looked indifferent, looking down at Xiao with a high-ranking attitude.

"Sure enough, it's you! Childish and innocent, you ...... How can you be so ruthless! ”

Xiao Shi listened to Mrs. Li's words, and his eyes immediately turned red, and he looked like a ghost.

"Ruthless? Aunt Xiao is really interesting, who in this house doesn't know that you are the most ruthless person, and you don't even let go of my only daughter! ”

"Whew! Are you as stupid as everyone else, is that your daughter? If it weren't for her Li Shenlan who grabbed Yue'er's draft spot first, I wouldn't have touched her! ”

In fact, Aunt Xiao didn't believe that Li Shenlan was Mrs. Li's daughter, but then she thought that with her relationship with Mrs. Li, if she really got another daughter, how could she not know at all.

Mrs. Li looked at Xiao's appearance, and the smile on her face became bigger and bigger.

"Since you know that it's not, you should understand the master's intentions, it's your own stupidity."

After speaking, Mrs. Li looked around again, this firewood room is specially used to lock up sinners, it is full of dry grass and branches, because no one has taken care of it for many years, not to mention the cobwebs everywhere, the rats and cockroaches on the ground are even more bold, and they pretend not to see people when they see them, and they crawl around.

"This place is your final destination, and since you are going to die, I will tell you clearly, so that you can die.

Speaking of which, you made this end all for Li Mingyue, and blame me, I was taking care of the old lady's funeral and neglecting your belly, so that you gave birth to such a sinful obstacle. I knew that Li Mingyue would harm you to this field, I should have helped my sister finish her off. ”

Mrs. Li said it lightly, but the opposing Xiao was red and gritted his teeth, but the tears couldn't help but stay.

At that time, Xiao's first child was already full-term, but because Wen Po kept delaying the time, the child couldn't get out of the stomach for a long time, and when he came out again, he was already suffocated in the stomach.

When the fetus is stillborn, it is not only the child who dies, but also the mother.

Xiao checked for a long time, but they all said that Wen Po had delivered the baby well at that time, but she was weak and the child's life was thin. Xiao also knew that when he gave birth to Li Mingyue, he knew that it would not take so long to give birth to a child, so he doubted Mrs. Li.

"Hu Xuan, you are so ruthless! That kid should call you aunt even if he is left, but you just want him to die! You ......"

In a fit of rage, Xiao didn't know what to say to the poisonous woman in front of him, and suddenly rushed up and tore Mrs. Li, as if in this way he could avenge his child.

But Xiao is now just a prisoner, and Mrs. Li is not easy to mess with, seeing that Xiao is entangled and grabbed his wrist hard, and threw it aside. Xiao Shi was unsteady under his feet, and was thrown to the ground by Mrs. Li.

"For the sake of your recollection, I will tell you something interesting. At that time, the patriarch organized a competition for all the daughters of the right age in the clan, and the best one married the old man. It was I who manipulated the wagon in which you were on the road and caused you to be late for the election. ”

When Mrs. Li said this, she laughed out loud a little carelessly. Seeing Xiao sitting on the ground with a shocked face, Mrs. Li hooked her lips mockingly, turned around and opened the door to leave.

"Xiao Jinxiu, the patriarch decided to make you his wife from the beginning, but it's a pity that you yourself are late. Or rather, you don't deserve to fight with me. ”

"Hu Xuan! You poisonous woman! Slut! ”

The only one who answered Xiao was Mrs. Li's long run.
