Chapter 110: Secrets
Lin Yingxue actually had doubts in her heart for a long time.
Just looking at Cui'er's fate, you can know how vicious Song's methods are, but after Liu'er betrayed Song, Song didn't move Liu'er, until now Liu'er talked to her about the secrets of the year, Lin Yingxue knew why Song would just let Liu'er go.
It's a long story, before Liu Er followed Lin Yingxue and the Song family, she was actually the maid ring next to the second lady of the Lin family, although she was still young at that time, she already had a very good set of actions, so she was also quite liked by the second lady.
It's just that the scenery on the face is of any use to this little girl born in a poor family? At that time, Liu'er's father had already left the two sisters, but their mother was seriously ill and needed a lot of money to see a doctor and take medicine every day.
At that time, Liu'er's sister was still young, and the family was supported by Liu'er alone, but her meager monthly expenses and the master's reward were not enough to support the crumbling family, and it was at this time that the Song family found Liu'er.
"I know that you are in urgent need of a large amount of money to treat your seriously ill mother at home, and I can give you this money, but you must do something for me."
This is the original words of the Song family when she found her, Liu Er said that she had really reached the end of the mountain and the water at that time, and she was desperate, so she was forced to agree to the Song family helplessly.
At that time, the Song family was just a little aunt, and there was only one daughter under Lin Yingling, and at this time, the first second lady had no children under her knees, and because of a miscarriage, she was now making a small month.
According to what Song said at the time, she hoped that Liu Er could help her do something in the medicine of the second lady, so that the second lady's body could get better later, so that she could use this time to give birth to a son before the second lady.
At that time, Liu Er was thinking, even if the Song family could get pregnant before the first second lady and give birth to a male fetus, but when the time came, it was not necessary to hold the child to the knees of the first second lady, who had no children and no daughters for the time being, so what was the use of the Song family rushing to give birth to this child?
Maybe there was a trace of luck in her heart, maybe she was desperate at the time, she chose to deliberately ignore the wrong thing in this matter, in short, after repeatedly confirming with the Song family that the medicine she helped the Song family mix in the medicine of the first second lady would only make the first second lady temporarily unable to conceive, she had the courage to do it.
But the final result was still beyond her expectations, after the second lady drank the bowl of medicine that had been added by her hand, she suddenly collapsed and almost died! Although in the end, the doctor tried his best to save the life of the first second lady, but the first second lady almost became a wasted person, and could only rely on decoction every day to continue her life, and she lived in the world.
And this situation only lasted for two years, because in the third year, the first lady died. As for Liu Er at that time, in order to survive, she had to secretly defect to the Song family, and helped the Song family do many shady things.
But because of the matter of the first second lady, she has been guilty to this day, and she will never be able to forgive herself!
Lin Yingxue also knew what happened later, and the Song family gave birth to Lin Yingsheng smoothly, and became the most likely person to become the second lady in the second room.
“…… But at this time, the second master's favorite person is actually the fifth miss, your mother, Aunt Xiang. At this point, the guilty look on Liu Er's face gradually faded away, and was replaced by a more complex look, such as distress, regret, or other emotions.
When Lin Yingxue heard this, her heart was also tight, but she didn't show any emotion on her face for a while.
Seeing that Lin Yingxue's mood was quite calm, Liu Er also continued: "In fact, if nothing else, only the second lady has a son under her knees in several concubine rooms, and it is reasonable that this lady's position can't get out of her palm, but the second lady sees that the lord has been slow to make her his wife, and he loves Aunt Xiang a lot......"
"The second lady was worried about extraneous branches, so she made another move on Aunt Xiang......" After saying this, Liu Er found that Lin Yingxue's mood finally fluctuated significantly, she didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly continued: "But at that time, the second lady had just passed away, and the slave maid was transferred to Zhongyun Courtyard to serve, and the second lady was not very at ease with the slave maid, so the matter was not handed over to the slave maid, but to someone else." Therefore, the slave and maid did not know much about this matter. ”
This is the reason why the Song family has not attacked Liu'er, because Liu'er knows too much, if she forces Liu'er to be anxious, Liu'er may jump over the wall in a hurry and poke out all the dirty things that the Song family has done, and then the Song's position as the main mother that she won with great difficulty will not be able to keep it.
And if the Song family didn't deal with Liu'er, Liu Er didn't have the courage to tell these things, because if he didn't say anything else, he would say that Liu'er helped the Song family drug the second lady, and he didn't know that it would be enough for Liu Er to die several times.
The relationship between Liu Er and the Song family has broken down because of this connection, no one dares to act rashly, but Liu Er has told her these things now, which is equivalent to putting her life in her hands, because if she wants to find out the truth about the year and bring down the Song family, Liu Er will inevitably be implicated at that time......
Suddenly learning of such an important matter, Lin Yingxue's mind was a little confused for a while.
- She was still young when her mother died, and even after she was reborn, she always thought that her mother died of illness, and she never suspected anything else because of this, but she never thought that there was such a deep inside story hidden after this incident!
"I see." After going through so many things, Lin Yingxue's ability to bear it was far from what it used to be, and the shock and resentment brought to her by this news were quickly suppressed by her, because she had to stay calm at all times, so that she could return to the imperial city smoothly, and she could successfully find a way to bring down the Song family!
Liu Er originally wanted to ask Lin Yingxue what she planned to do with this matter at that time, but it can be seen that Lin Yingxue did not plan to talk more about this matter, so she had to swallow what she wanted to say for the time being.
After the three of them had dinner with heavy hearts, it was not early, and after a day and a night of traveling, it should have been the time to fall asleep, but because the words that Liu Er said before had been echoing in Lin Yingxue's mind. Yes, she was clearly extremely tired, but it was difficult to fall asleep after tossing and turning.
stayed up like this until the second half of the night, and Lin Yingxue fell asleep in extreme sleepiness and sleepiness.
However, this night of sleep is also very unsteady, in the middle of the night, Lin Yingxue only felt that the room suddenly became hot, and the hot sweat that kept coming out of her body quickly soaked her whole body clothes, her whole person was like soaking in a pool of hot water, and the sticky and greasy feeling on her body made her feel very uncomfortable.
But no matter how hard she tried to open her eyes, her body never responded, the feeling was like being pressed by a ghost, obviously her consciousness was awake, but her body was still unable to move.
“…… Miss, Miss ......" There seemed to be someone in her ears shaking her body violently, and the anxious call in her ears gradually became clear, and the moment before she woke up, the sense of restraint on her body quietly faded like a tide, and Lin Yingxue opened her eyes suddenly!
The first thing she saw was Liu Er's anxious face, and then the smoke rushing in from outside the door made Lin Yingxue startled, "What's the matter?" She hurriedly got up from the bed, but because of her lightheadedness, she almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Liu Er, who was standing on the side, hurriedly helped her to support her, and she barely stood firm by the bed.
"Miss, there's a fire outside, let's run!" The thick black smoke was so thick that Liu Er couldn't even open her eyes.
Lin Yingxue was shocked, and her first reaction was to think that someone had deliberately set the fire, otherwise the fire would not have spread so quickly, and looking at the thickness of the smoke outside and the temperature at which people were almost roasted in the house, Lin Yingxue's heart sank inch by inch.
"Let's go." couldn't waste every minute of time, and with Liu Er's support, the master and servant walked quickly towards the door.
As soon as Ran went out, a dark shadow flew in the direction of the two, "Ah! Liu Er immediately screamed in fright, and after the two avoided it, they fixed their eyes to look, only to see that it was actually a person who flew towards them just now, but the person was dressed in black, and his whole body was tightly covered, only a pair of eyes with a frightened look were exposed, and at the neck of this person, there was blood flowing down, soaking the black clothes into a dark red color.
This man is obviously dead, and the person who did it moves neatly and kills with a single sword!
Lin Yingxue frowned and looked up again, only to see Leng Yue standing not far from them and fighting with a few men in black.
No wonder after such a big incident, it was not Leng Yue who ran over to save her at the first time, but Liu Er, it turned out that the killer had sneaked in by taking advantage of the chaos, if there was no Leng Yue's block, she and Liu Er would probably be dead now.
"Go from the other side." Although Leng Yue had her back to Lin Yingxue and the others, she seemed to have eyes behind her back, and she didn't look back.
Lin Yingxue nodded, and looked around, the room they lived in was on the second floor, and there were stairs on both sides to go downstairs, but at this time, the stairs on the east side had been blocked by the killers, if Leng Yue didn't solve those people, they wouldn't be able to go downstairs from that side. As for the staircase to the west, the tongue of fire had climbed up the handrail, and the wooden handrail and staircase seemed to collapse at any moment, but according to their current situation, there was no other way to go.
"Let's go!" Lin Yingxue immediately pulled Liu Er towards the west stairs, in order to prevent the fire from burning Lin Yingxue, Liu Er tried hard to protect Lin Yingxue behind her, and the scorching temperature made the master and servant feel like walking in an oven.
The water in the body was evaporated little by little by the high temperature, and the two of them gradually lost their physical strength, and when they walked halfway up the stairs, a little flame rushed to Liu'er's body, and then Liu'er's clothes quickly burned, "Ah! There was another scream, and Liu Er's movements gradually increased in the panic, and the already crumbling staircase could not withstand the tossing of the two of them, and broke away from it at once.
With two bangs, Lin Yingxue and Liu Er fell down the broken stairs heavily, and the sharp pain from their bodies made them not ease up for a long time.
