Demons?!

Duanmu Chao and Xiao He were both shocked, and the couple subconsciously looked at each other.

Xia Jin continued: "Madame said that since the fourth girl fell into the water six years ago, she has completely changed as a person, and it is clear that she was possessed by the ghosts in the water when she fell into the water. Madame went to Daoyuan Temple to find Huang Tianshi and asked for a few rune papers, wanting the eldest girl to drink rune water for the fourth girl...... Exorcise the evil ......"

Xiao He's brows were tightly locked together, and there was a look of sudden realization on his face.

Xia Jin cried as she spoke, and two lines of tears slipped down the corners of her eyes, "There is something evil in the Duanmu family, and I am afraid that it will harm the mansion if it spreads it." Madame, she also wanted to protect the reputation of the Duanmu family, so she asked the slave maid to look at the wind, saying that she said it to the eldest girl. ”

The slave and maid stood far away, and at that time they heard the lady and the eldest girl arguing fiercely. Later, the eldest girl left. ”

"When the slave ran to find Madame, I found that Madame had fallen into the water......"

"It's the slave's fault!" Xia Jin kowtowed to Duanmu and the couple repeatedly, and after a while, she knocked her forehead into a bruise, "If the slave doesn't go away, Madame, she ...... She's not going to ...... either."

There is a way, the son is silent, and the strange power is confused.

Duanmu Chao was a little frightened when he heard it, but he didn't fully believe in this kind of god and ghost thing.

Xiao He was convinced, clenched his fists and said indignantly: "I see! ”

"I'll just say, that Duanmu Fei in Changfang was obviously a fool before, why did he suddenly become smarter, and he was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting!"

"She must be possessed by a ghost!"

Xiao He's eyes widened, thinking that he had lived in the same place with a resentful ghost for several years, there was fear, disgust, apprehension, and resentment.

Duanmu Chao heard Xiao He's words, and he also felt that it seemed to make some sense. How can a person suddenly go from being a fool to a genius?!

Thinking about it carefully, his father Duanmu Xian also slowly leaned towards the long house after Duanmu fell into the water...... Maybe he's been bewitched by demons!

Yes, it must be!

Duanmu Chao said hatefully: "Qi'er kindly warned her, Duanmu Jun just doesn't believe Qi'er, why do you want to push Qi'er into the water!" Anyway, they're cousins too! She's so ruthless! ”

The more Xiao He thought about it, the more he felt that his daughter was not worthless, and he cried silently, "Qi'er, why is she so stupid!" It's Duanmu Fei who is haunted by resentful ghosts, what's the matter with her! ”

"Why should she bother with the gossip of the long's room! It's good now, I've put my life on the line......"

Xiao He scolded incessantly, crying and shouting.

Xia Jin knelt on the ground, still pinching her handkerchief and sobbing, her body trembling like a delicate flower in the wind and rain, as if she was uneasy and panicked.

Duanmu Chao's head began to hurt again after being quarreled by Xiao He's family, raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, and said: "Now even my father is fascinated by that demon, and he believes in her, even if we go to tell him, he will not believe it if he is afraid, but will think that we are crazy!" ”

Xiao He grabbed Duanmu Chao's wrist, "Master, you can't just forget it!" Our Qi'er is too wronged! ”

Duanmu Chao was upset and said casually: "What else can I do?!" "My father is the first assistant, and Duanmu Fei, the demon, is about to marry the emperor......

Duanmu Chao felt frightened just thinking about it, and felt that Duanmu Fei would not be the reincarnation of Daji to harm Dasheng, right?!

Yang Xuyao sighed and said helplessly: "Yes, you can't go to report to the official." ”

As if he had caught a piece of driftwood in an instant, Xiao He eagerly echoed: "Yes! Go to the officer! Let's just say that Duanmu Jun murdered his cousin, and then make Duanmu Fei a demon public! ”

Once these two ugly things about the Duanmu sisters are publicized, she wants to see what kind of fate the sisters will end!

Xiao He said that it was wind and rain, and he stood up in a hurry, wanting to rush out.

"Don't mess around!" Duanmu Chao hurriedly reached out and grabbed Xiao He's right wrist and clenched it tightly, for fear that she would come nonsense.

After all, this is a private matter of the Duanmu family, whether it is a demon in the Duanmu family, or the sisters of the Duanmu family cannibalism, it is the reputation of the Duanmu family that is bad! No matter where I go in the future, I'm afraid that I will be poked and poked!

"I'm messing around?" Xiao He seemed to be trampled on a sore foot, and shouted hysterically, "Our daughters are about to be killed, if I don't help her get justice, who will help her!" You still say I'm messing around?! ”

"That's not what I meant......"

Duanmu Chao frowned and tried to explain, but was interrupted by Xiao He's rough voice: "Then what do you mean?" You are always timid in doing things, I think you are afraid of your father-in-law! ”

Duanmu Chao's face was even more ugly, his son-in-law was still here, but Xiao He slapped himself in the face in front of his son-in-law.

At this time, Yang Xuyao persuaded loudly: "Mother-in-law, my father-in-law is reasonable, and it is better to act cautiously." ”

"The last incident has made my grandfather unhappy, and I sent my father-in-law to such a poor countryside as Hongxian County, Longzhou, and my son-in-law is afraid that if I anger my grandfather again, I will ...... at that time."

As soon as Yang Xuyao said this, Duanmu Chao's eyes lit up, and his heart moved.

Last time, he took advantage of the Ministry of Rites to hire Duanmu Fei and ran to beg his father, and his father arranged an errand for him to go to Hongxian County, Longzhou to be a little acquaintance.

When he received this withering order, Duanmu Chao almost went crazy.

He was originally a fourth-grade Beijing official, but now he has been relegated to such a poor and remote place to be a fellow acquaintance from the fifth grade, where is this for him to run errands, it is his father who is punishing him and humiliating him!

Of course, Duanmu Chao didn't want to go, but the official document of the Ministry of Officials had already been issued, and if he didn't go, he would offend the people of the Ministry of Officials, and then I was afraid that there would be no good errands.

Duanmu Chao has been worrying about this matter for the past few days.

He also thought about begging his father again, but he also knew that his father might not be so easy to help him again.

Maybe this incident can be a turning point!

If my father gets angry and loses his errands, it will be a good thing for him.

What's more, it would be even better if the father was willing to give himself another good errand as a condition in order to calm down the scandal of the long house!

Bang bang bang!

The more Duanmu Chao thought about it, the more excited he became, and his heart beat faster. And he can also take this opportunity to get justice for his daughter.

When Yang Xuyao saw Duanmu Chao's appearance, he knew that he was tempted, and a strange light quickly flashed under his eyes.

Xia Jin, who was kneeling on the ground, raised her eyes and glanced at him without a trace, lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, and continued to kneel.

Xiao He shook off Duanmu Chao's hand angrily, and his voice became even sharper, "Duanmu Chao, you are thinking about your little errand!" ”

She was like an enraged lioness, and she couldn't wait to go to Jingzhao Mansion to complain, but she was stopped by Yang Xuyao after only taking two steps.

"Mother-in-law, listen to your son-in-law again." Yang Xuyao persuaded Xiao He angrily, "Qi'er is still in a coma now, and when she wakes up, she will definitely see her father." ”

Thinking of his daughter Duanmuqi lying on the couch, Xiao He stopped and pressed down again, his eyes filled with tears again.

Xiao He sat down on the circle chair beside Duanmu Chao in a dejected manner, twisting the Buddhist beads and reciting the Buddhist scriptures with words.

Suddenly, a little girl in Tsing Yi ran into the house panting, and curtled at Yang Xuyao and said, "Third son, the doctors of Qianjin Hall and Rejuvenation Hall are here, and they have already entered the door!" ”

"Please, please!" Yang Xuyao perked up and hurriedly said.

Duanmu Chao and Xiao He were also distracted, and they all looked out of the house expectantly.

After a while, another maid came in a hurry with two old doctors with gray hair and medicine boxes.

Xiao He was so anxious that he hurriedly stepped forward to greet the two doctors: "Two doctors, you must save my poor daughter." ”

"The old man will do his best." The old doctor said politely, no one dared to pack the ticket.

"Inside, please."

So, Duanmu Chao and his wife hurriedly led the two doctors into the inner room to see Duanmu Qi.

Yang Xuyao silently fell at the back, looking at the panicked backs of Duanmu Chao and his wife, his eyes were deeper, and his whole body exuded an inexplicable coldness.

It's not time yet.

The sun set outside quickly, and when night fell, lanterns were lit inside and outside the house, illuminating the inside and out, as if it were day.

Duanmuqi's condition was very bad, from afternoon to dusk to night, a total of more than a dozen doctors came one after another.

However, what ushered in was disappointment again and again, after each doctor checked the pulse, shook his head again and again, saying that he was not optimistic, and some people even hinted that the Yang family should prepare for the funeral as soon as possible, so angry that Xiao He made the doctor beat the doctor out of the way.

This night, the Yang Mansion did not turn off the lights all night, and Duanmu Chao and Xiao He also stayed at the Yang family and did not go back until dawn the next day, Duanmu Qi still did not wake up, and even his breath became weaker.

Duanmu Chao sat with Xiao He all night, and he didn't close his eyes all night, and at dawn, he left Xiao He in Yang's house, and went back to the two-room house alone, planning to change his clothes and then ask Duanmu Xian to ask Duanmu Qi to ask for a doctor.

However, as soon as he changed his clothes, he ushered in an official document from the ministry, in which he asked him to go to Hongxian County, Longzhou within five days to report.

For Duanmu Chao, this official document is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.

"Deceive people too much, just deceive people too much!"

Duanmu Chao threw the official document on the ground fiercely, and the anger in his heart surged up.

"Father...... I really don't think about the relationship between father and son at all......" Duanmu Chao's voice seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth, and the green tendons in his neck appeared from time to time.

Duanmu Chao was too disappointed in Duanmu Xian.

At this time, Duanmuxian couldn't wait to drive the couple out of the capital, and his thoughts were obvious.

Not only did he shield Duanmujun's ruthless girl, but he was also afraid that the couple would seek justice for their daughter, so he simply drove them out of the capital without doing anything.

It's just too much.

Duanmu Chao clenched his fists tightly, his chest rose and fell violently, and said to himself, he doesn't believe it, there is no justice in this world!

Duanmu Chao took several deep breaths before calming down a little and ordering, "Prepare the carriage!" ”

"Yes, sir." Chang Sui hurriedly went to prepare the carriage.

After a cup of tea, the carriage carried Duanmu Chao to the palace, and Duanmu Chao planned to go to Wenhua Hall to find Duanmu Xian.

However, he didn't have a chance to enter the Wenhua Hall at all, and he was stopped outside the palace gate by the forbidden army.

"Leisure people, etc., are not allowed to enter!"

The forbidden army would not give Duanmu Chao any face, no matter what he said or not, he was unmoved.

Duanmu Chao could only press and wait outside the palace gate, and waited for more than half an hour, only then did he see Duanmu Xian and You Junji, who were wearing purple embroidered crane official uniforms, come out of it slowly.

"Father! Father ......" Duanmu Chao shouted excitedly at Duanmu Xian.

This second child still hasn't given up, and wants to "blackmail" himself in this way! Duanmu Xian frowned slightly, he ignored Duanmu Chao, and said to You Junji: "Let's go." ”

"Father!"

Duanmu Chao wanted to rush over to stop Duanmu Xian, but before he took a step, he was rudely stopped by a spear in his chest.

"The palace is important, no noise!" A forbidden soldier said coldly to Duanmu Chao.

It is inevitable that there will be other officials coming in and out near this palace gate, and they can't help but cast strange glances at Duanmu Xian and Duanmu Chao.

Duanmuxian quickly got into the carriage.

You Junji, who was following behind, paused, glanced at Duanmu Chao with embarrassment, and sighed in his heart while getting into the carriage: Duanmu Xian is good at everything, but he didn't raise his son well! For example, his second son is inevitably too stupid.

Originally, with the new emperor's attention to the little girl of the Duanmu family, as an uncle, as long as he is smart, he will inevitably ascend to heaven in the future, but he has to make a fuss!

"Father! Father! ”

Duanmu called a few more times unrelentingly, and watched Duanmu Xian's carriage gallop away.

From beginning to end, Duanmu Xian didn't even give Duanmu a look, as if he was air.

Duanmu Chao stared at the distant carriage with hatred, his heart was as cold as ice, and hatred surged: his father was really shielding Duanmujun!

Duanmu Chao stood there quietly, motionless like a stone carving.

Officials passing by, whether they knew him or not, all took a detour.

I don't know how long it took, Duanmu Chao got into his own carriage again, intending to go to Yang's mansion, however, the carriage was stopped halfway through.

"My lord, it's not good!"

A young man in Tsing Yi came on horseback, looking anxious.

The carriage stopped next to a teahouse on the side of the road, and Duanmu opened one side of the curtain and looked at the little guy, chuckling in his heart, with a sense of foreboding.

"Phew!"

The little maid grabbed the horse rope and stopped the horse in front of the carriage, panting and said, "The master of the in-laws is not good, and the third lady of my family ...... The third lady she ...... She's gone! ”

His daughter is dead!!

Duanmu Chao felt as if he had Coptis chinensis, his mouth and heart were bitter, his face was even pale, and he almost fainted.

Duanmu Chao's mind flashed like a marquee from the birth of his daughter: Wen Po hugged the baby girl in her arms and congratulated herself on having a daughter; For the first time, the daughter called him daddy in a milky voice; The daughter has been lively since she was a child, and her mouth is sweet, and she is smooth until the two sisters of Changfang come to the capital......

Duanmu Qi is his first daughter, and she was raised like a jewel in the palm of her hand, she was only eighteen years old, but she was killed alive by the big girl in the long room, and let herself taste the taste of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person!

The daughter died so unjustly, but his father still had to protect Duanmujun's girl!

He was not reconciled!

Duanmu Chao clenched his fists tightly, anger rising in his heart, almost drowning him.

There was silence in the carriage, and the streets outside the carriage were bustling with pedestrians coming and going, and a few vendors selling their wares at the top of their voices.

There were also a few young men dressed as scholars who hurried by, talking as they went:

"Brother Wang, hurry up, today there is a national priest wine to give a lecture......"

"Got it, you've said it a hundred times, we have to get a seat earlier, right?"

While the two scholars were talking, they entered the teahouse next to the carriage, and other students were also walking towards the teahouse here.

Duanmu Chao suddenly moved, looked at these students, his eyes fell on the gate of the teahouse, looking at those students who came and went, his eyes became deep little by little, like a bottomless deep pool.

"My lord! My lord! Seeing that Duanmu Chao had not spoken, the little girl in Tsing Yi called twice in a row worriedly.

Duanmu Chao finally reacted, retracted his gaze, and instructed the horseman: "Go to Jingzhao Mansion!" ”

He won't let the sisters go!

At the sound of the horseman's whip, the carriage moved away along the bustling and lively streets, occasionally staggering with some ornate carriages, most of which were bound for the banquet of the eldest princess of Anping.

At this moment, Duanmu Fei and Duanmu Jun have arrived at the princess's mansion.

The time written on the post is Shishi, and the sisters deliberately came half an hour early, thinking of helping Anping entertain guests.

Originally, Anping just wanted to use this flower-viewing banquet to pull out the thorns, but because of Duanmufei, she also had some expectations for this peony banquet and happily cleaned it up.

The princess's mansion has been busy for more than ten days, decorating the princess's mansion, and the maids in the mansion today are wearing a one-color pink embroidered peony dress, which is very compatible with the peonies in the garden.

As soon as the sisters arrived, Anping took them to the waterfront pavilion in the garden and sat down, and showed off with great interest:

"Scarlet, don't you think that peony boat is very good-looking? Exactly like you say, right? ”

"And look at that Peony Pavilion, this palace plans to let the musicians perform there."

"The peony platform next to the pavilion was just set up last night...... It's all done according to your drawings! ”

Duanmu Fei's eyes became brighter and brighter as he looked at An Ping's hand, his eyebrows fluttered with a smile, and he nodded frequently: "It's exactly the same as my drawings, no, it's more beautiful than my drawings!" ”

Anping took Duanmufei's hand and said with a smile: "Anyway, there is still time now, Fei'er, Jun'er, why don't we go around first." ”

Before she could finish speaking, a housekeeper came and said, "Your Highness, Mrs. Xinghe Bo is here with her daughter!" ”

An Ping frowned and glanced at the pot on the table, this is not yet time!

This Mrs. Xinghe Bo really has no eyesight, and she will disturb herself! An Ping said secretly unhappily, but since she opened the door of the mansion to entertain guests today, it was not easy to turn people away, so she could only say: "Bring people here." ”

Meaning, she's going to meet guests in this waterfront pavilion.

The housekeeper took the order on her knees and went away again.

An Ping looked at the distant back of the grandmother and stroked his sleeves, the corners of his red lips outlined a meaningful arc, and said: "Jun'er, Fei'er, I'm afraid that someone will have some demon moths at today's banquet." Scarlet, don't pay attention to them, just watch the show. ”

"Uh-huh." Duanmu smiled and nodded, very well-behaved and obedient.

Anping didn't say it plainly, she didn't know whether Duanmu Fei understood or not, she felt cute when she looked at the delicate face of the little girl.

It's better to raise a girl! An Pingxin said, the smile on his gorgeous face was even bigger, and he grabbed a handful of fish food and sprinkled it into the small lake next to him.

The fish in the lake smell the fragrance, happily flick their tails, swim over like a hundred birds returning to their nests, and even leap up from the lake, creating a circle of ripples in the lake.

Duanmu pointed to the fish in the lake and said with a smile: "Your Highness, look, that fish looks the fattest, but it is actually so flexible that it squeezes away the other fish next to it!" ”

"That fish is really fat!" An Ping covered his mouth and chuckled.

The two talked and laughed, and the laughter like a guide drifted away with the wind, all the way to the entrance of the garden, and also to the ears of a mother and daughter.

"Mrs. Xinghebo, please."

The housekeeper walked in front to guide the mother and daughter.

The mother is in her early thirties, dignified and beautiful, wearing a gown with autumn fragrance and four seasons; The daughter is fifteen or sixteen years old, with fair skin, wearing a pomegranate red treasure vase peony carved silk gown, a green silk comb with a delicate and complex peony head, and a golden phoenix with ruby inlaid beads and hairpins obliquely inserted.

The mother and daughter heard the laughter from the Linshui Pavilion in front of them, and couldn't help but slow down their footsteps.

Mrs. Xinghebo's eyes flashed slightly, and she asked quietly: "Mama Xu, I don't know which girl is talking to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess?" ”

Mrs. Xinghebo came so early, just to let her daughter talk to Anping and please Anping, but she didn't expect someone to come earlier than them, and her intentions were obvious.

A touch of disdain flashed in Mrs. Xinghebo's eyes, and disappeared in a flash.

Mama Xu smiled and looked in the direction of Linshui Pavilion and said, "That's the eldest girl and the fourth girl of the Duanmu family." ”

Mrs. Xing and Bo were stunned for a moment, of course she knew that the four girls of the Duanmu family were not only the girls of the Shoufu family, but also the future queen.

The mother and daughter glanced at each other quickly, and their expressions were a little more restrained.

Mama Xu led the mother and daughter into the Linshui Pavilion and led the people to Anping.

"I've seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!"

The mother and daughter curtsy An Ping in unison, and the corner of their eyes looked at An Ping and the sisters without a trace.

"No courtesy." An Ping raised his hand lazily, and the red impatiens juice seemed to be shining in the sun.

The smile is shallow, but it gives people a sense of alienation.

Mrs. Xinghebo complimented An Ping with a smile: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen His Highness for five years, and His Highness seems to be more prosperous in the past." ”

She also sighed in her heart, there is a way, ten years in Hedong, ten years in Hexi, five years ago, who would have thought that Emperor Chongming's sister Anping would have a day to turn over, and she could have today's honor!

An Ping said lightly: "Madame doesn't seem to have changed much. ”

An Ping just casually greeted, but Mrs. Xinghe Bo was a little flattered, and said with a smile: "Where can I compare to Your Highness, I have given birth to a lot of white hair over the years, and these children have grown up one by one." ”

Mrs. Xinghebo consciously and skillfully led the topic to her daughter, "Your Highness, this is the little girl Zhou Lin, who has just reached Lu this year." ”

Zhou Lin took half a step forward, saluted An Pingfu again, and quietly glanced at Duanmu Jun in front of him.

Duanmujun wore a begonia red butterfly wearing a carved silk gown today, and a flying swallow bead hairpin was obliquely inserted on the meniscus bun, and the pair of black willow leaf eyes were brighter than the ruby embedded in the delphinium hairpin, the face was like white jade, and the lips were like painted vermilion, bright and compelling.

Duanmujun didn't pay attention to Zhou Lin, and fed the fish with Duanmufei, the sisters were face to face, whispering with a smile, pointing at the goldfish in the lake, smiling like flowers.

Zhou Lin subconsciously grabbed the handkerchief.

Before coming to the banquet, she and her mother inquired about Anping's preferences in advance, Anping has a cool and generous temperament, and likes bright and cheerful girls, so her mother specially prepared this dress and jewelry for her, trying to match Anping's preferences.

Unexpectedly, I saw Duanmujun sitting with Anping, also wearing a similar color, the other party's facial features were delicate and bright, as delicate as the peony flowers blooming in the garden, and he was forced to press himself by three points.

In comparison, he looks like he is acting in Dongshi.
