Aunt Zhu and Grandma sat on the top seat.

Her fingers kept sliding over the beads.

In fact, her skin was so good that she couldn't tell that she was an old woman at all. If you put on a gorgeous dress, some people believe that she is only forty years old.

"Mrs. Shizi doesn't want to ask Mingxue about it, right?" Aunt Zhu's grandmother got straight to the point.

"Mingxue is your girl. You used to spoil her extraordinarily. Now that something like this has happened to her, my aunt and grandmother don't feel good, right? Chu Yuqin said.

"Huh." The corners of Aunt Zhu's mouth rose. "Mrs. Shizi really overestimated her old body. The old body has been beautiful before, and I don't know how many people have flattered me. To put it mildly, after so many years of intrigues, I haven't learned anything else, but I have cultivated the ability to see people. Mingxue's girl is stupid, and she can be coaxed by a man in just a few words. I already knew what she did. The reason why I don't pick it out is because I don't value those things outside the body. Later, I left her to let her know what regret is. Sure enough, the man didn't treat her sincerely, and she regretted it. ”

"She asked me for help to get rid of the man. I didn't pay attention, not because I still hated her, but because I was the master and she was the servant. The master let her die, she couldn't live. Her life is still in my hands, but she wants to use me. Could it be that she really thinks that after serving me for a few years, I should be very different from her? It's time for her to face reality, too. ”

"Grandma is right. Mingxue is sorry for you first, you can't be too much to her. Chu Yuqin didn't hold on.

Her gaze rested on the painting opposite.

"This painting is a little bit special. But I can't say anything special. Chu Yuqin said.

Aunt Zhu's grandmother looked over: "This was given to me by someone else." The painter is not a master, and there is nothing special. If Mrs. Shizi can see it, the old body will give you away. ”

"So I've thanked my aunt and grandmother." Chu Yuqin smiled. "Besides, I really like this painting. I don't know who is the person who gave my aunt this painting? ”

"An ordinary person who is no longer there, and no one knows his name." Aunt Zhu said, "Is there anything else that Mrs. Shizi has to do?" If not, I won't leave you here to eat. When the old body is old, he likes to be pure and pure, and he doesn't like to be disturbed by others. ”

"It just so happens that the concubine is looking for Mrs. Shizi for something, so why don't you go and sit with me for a while!" The third aunt played a round next to her.

Chu Yuqin smiled: "That's very good." Then let's take our leave. ”

Aunt Zhu and Grandma sat there motionless.

Chu Yuqin and the third aunt walked out of the door.

When passing by the courtyard, Chu Yuqin's eyes stayed on those vibrant flowers and plants.

"Grandma likes to be clean, and there is only one old grandmother in the yard to serve her. Who takes care of these flowers and plants? Chu Yuqin walked to the corner and squatted down to pick a flower.

The third aunt said, "I don't know either. I haven't heard that my aunt and grandmother have a separate arrangement of gardeners here. ”

"Go back and ask." Chu Yuqin said: "Grandma has only one servant here. The old servant is in charge of cleaning everything here. Three meals a day are brought in. Even if you can't get close to it, the people who deliver the food always have some connection to this place. ”

With that, she stood up.

Suddenly, my feet slipped and my body fell.

"Be careful." The third aunt grabbed her. "Look, the flowers should have just been watered here, and the mud is still wet, so be careful."

Zhu Xue hurriedly supported Chu Yuqin and tidied up her mud-stained skirt.

Chu Yuqin took the handkerchief from Zhu Xue's hand and looked carefully at the dirt on it.

"What's wrong?" The third aunt said.

Chu Yuqin looked back at Aunt Zhu's door.

I happened to see Aunt Zhu's condensed eyes.

At that moment, cold sweat broke out on her back.

"Nothing. Let's get out of here! Chu Yuqin said.

The third aunt didn't know why, so she followed her out of Aunt Zhu's yard.

"What's wrong? What the hell? The third aunt said.

"Hell, it might be." Chu Yuqin frowned. "Qiu Yin, you send Aunt Zhu's painting to our room and put it away."

"Yes." Qiu Yin took the painting just now, and now seeing that Chu Yuqin was so cautious, he immediately took the painting and walked back.

"What the hell is going on? You look scary. The third aunt said.

Chu Yuqin looked at Zhu Xue next to him: "Is the handkerchief you helped me wipe the mud just now still there?" ”

Zhu Xue nodded: "Yes." The flowers on this handkerchief are embroidered by Sister Qiu Yin, I like it so tightly that I am reluctant to throw it away. Although it is a little muddy, it can be used when you go back to wash it. ”

"Bring it and I'll take a look." She said.

Zhu Xue handed the handkerchief over.

"What's wrong?" The third aunt saw that Chu Yuqin had a little red mud and put it between her noses. "Isn't this red clay? Is it still blood? ”

"You sniff." Chu Yuqin handed the handkerchief to the third aunt's nose.

The third aunt frowned: "Don't say it, it's really a bit bloody." It's just that you can't determine anything by smelling anything you put on the ground. Maybe we smelled it wrong. ”

"So put it away first, and check it after you're sure!" Chu Yuqin said, "I'm going back first." Auntie really has something to look for me? ”

"No, it was just a casual excuse." The third aunt said, "Then I'll go back too." ”

After separating from the third aunt, Chu Yuqin returned to the bedroom.

There was a handkerchief stained with mud on the table, and next to it was the strange painting.

She looked at the painting closely, fiddling with her handkerchief from time to time.

"Qiu Yin, you send this handkerchief to Hou Ye. He knew how to heal, and he must have known whether the red clay on this handkerchief was ordinary red clay or something else. Chu Yuqin said suddenly.

"Madam, the slave also knows some simple medical skills, why don't you ask the slave?" Zhu Xue said.

"You haven't spoken since then, do you have something to say?" Chu Yuqin looked back at her.

"Madame has finally noticed the existence of the slave." Zhu Xue came over. "This mud smells a little bloody, but it's just the smell of chicken blood."

"Just the smell of chicken blood?" Chu Yuqin raised his eyebrows. "You just knew?"

"That's right! It's just that the third aunt is there, and the slave and maid can't say anything. Madam, although the third aunt is now an ally with you, she has never had a permanent friend in this world. Zhu Xue said: "Don't say some things in front of her." ”

"You girl taught me a lesson." Chu Yuqin smiled. "Alright. I understand what you're saying. What to say and what not to say, I also have a sense of proportion. I also deliberately said these words to her today. After all, there are things that still need to be used by her. ”

"Madame wants to borrow her mouth to tell Grandpa Guo these things?" Autumn Yin guessed. "That's right. This time it was the new favorite of Grandpa Guo. ”
