The autumn breeze is slightly cool, the leaves are rustling, and the night is quiet like no one's land.

And at Song Jiayao's door, Zhang San was pacing anxiously, but he didn't knock on the door after all, after all, she was a woman with a deep boudoir, and she was a lady from an official family, although she had a gentle personality on weekdays, and she treated them very well, but Zhang San was afraid that someone would make a fuss.

However, now that he is in a hurry to tell Song Jiayao the news, it is about her mother.

Just when Zhang San was at a loss, Song Jiayao's courtyard door creaked open, and when he looked over, it was Song Jiayao.

"Second Miss." Zhang San hurriedly called.

Song Jiayao was a little strange, everyone went to bed at this point, why was Zhang San still here, he only found him after checking the door, I don't know how long he stayed.

Zhang Sanyi introduced martial arts, and there were no polite words, and when he saw Song Jiayao coming out, he was no longer entangled, and hurriedly said: "After Jin Niang died, you asked me to find out what poison she was taking, and I will check it immediately. ”

Song Jiayao was a little familiar when she heard this name, and she always felt that she had heard this name, but she couldn't think of where she had heard it.

Without waiting for Song Jiayao to think, Zhang San continued: "I heard the old people say that the eldest lady seems to have died of this poison. ”

No wonder it's so familiar, this is what she heard from a maid next to her mother when she was a child, she was still young at the time and didn't understand anything, but she just wrote down the name, and Song Jiayao's brain exploded.

Seeing Song Jiayao like this, Zhang San wanted to step forward to comfort him, but because of the difference between men and women, he had to give up, and said: "I know that the second lady is uncomfortable, please hurry back to the house, this matter has to be discussed in the long run, and it is inconvenient for me to stay longer, I am afraid that someone will look at it, you have something to do tomorrow, just call me directly." ”

After Zhang San finished speaking, he left, wanting to say more, but he didn't say it after all.

Song Jiayao, who heard the news, still needed some time to digest, and she didn't even move her footsteps for a while, and it was still the little maid who swept the floor that Xiaoqing woke up before calling her back.

Seeing that Song Jiayao was a little unwilling, Xiaoqing was frightened, thinking that she was possessed by some soul, someone said that on the night of the full moon, people with special physique will be possessed by people with grievances, thinking of the different temperament between the previous miss and the current miss, she concluded that she is a person with a special physique.

Thinking of this, Xiaoqing suddenly lost her mind, and after thinking for a long time, she got up from the bed, took a candle, and lit a pile of burning paper.

Song Jiayao, who came back to her senses, saw Xiaoqing holding burning paper in her hand and wanted to step forward to stop her, but saw that there was a person shaking in the firelight, and Song Jiayao immediately calmed down.

It turned out to be her mother, Song Jiayao was surprised and wanted to ask, but she couldn't say a word, the person in the firelight smiled, did not speak, held a pill in her hand, and pointed to the people around her.

Although neither of them spoke, but they figured it out, Song Jiayao understood that her mother told her that if she wanted to know the secret of the pill, she could ask her confidant before.

At that moment, the fire was extinguished, and nothing but ashes were left behind.

Song Jiayao rushed to the ashes over there, trying to find something, but couldn't find anything, turned around and snatched the candle in Xiaoqing's hand again, wanting to light some more, but couldn't light it anymore.

"Miss, wake up, wake up."

"Xiaoqing, don't shake it, I'm sober."

Xiaoqing on the side was relieved at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Miss, how are you?" ”

After all, I heard the old man say that after being possessed by a soul, his body will be very weak, and now Song Jiayao must be the same, so he hurriedly asked.

Seeing Xiaoqing's anxious eyes, Song Jiayao hurriedly explained: "It's okay, I just saw my mother." ”

"Miss, are you really possessed?"

Hearing this, Song Jiayao couldn't say it well, she didn't believe in this, after all, this was all a thing without any basis, but what happened to the mother in the fire just now, could it be her own imagination, but it was too real.

But now it's not about thinking about this, it's about my mother's grievances.

By the way, her mother asked her to find the maid who served her before, and she seemed to have been sent back to her hometown after her mother's death, her hometown seemed to be in the Jiangnan generation, and she remembered that she always told herself about water.

"Xiaoqing, you sent someone to pack my things, I'm going to go out tomorrow."

Xiaoqing was apprehensive about this assassination, so naturally she would not let Song Jiayao go.

"Miss, don't you know how dangerous the outside world is, why do you still go out?"

"Zhang San said that the poison of the pill seems to be the same as the poison in my mother's death, and I want to check it."

After hearing this, Xiaoqing didn't speak, but asked directly: "How to check?" ”

Song Jiayao just wanted to say that her mother told her to find her personal maid just now, but she felt that Xiaoqing didn't believe it, so she omitted the others and said directly: "I want to go to the maid next to her, she should know." ”

"You mean Liu Niang?"

"You know?"

Song Jiayao was a little surprised, but she didn't expect Xiaoqing to know.

After all, they are all subordinates, and many things are still easy to inquire about, not to the master, and to say everything in private.

"I heard them say that after the death of the eldest lady, the second lady did not forgive, and even asked her to accompany her to the funeral, saying that she died of medicine, and the lord was also very fond of the second lady at that time, and listened to everything, but only this matter, the lord did not listen to her, gave Liu Niang some silver, and sent her away."

Seeing Xiaoqing's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Song Jiayao asked, "Do you still know something, hurry up." ”

Today's young lady's expression was serious, Xiaoqing was really scared, and she didn't care about anything else, so she said directly: "The reason why they said that the lord spared Liu Niang was that the lord and Liu Niang had a leg and was discovered by the eldest lady, so Liu Niang wanted to kill her and replace it herself, and the eldest lady treated her like a sister, but now she has ended up in such a field, this Liu Niang is really a white-eyed wolf, and she plays a good card very badly." ”

Song Jiayao thought about Xiaoqing's words, like a perfect lie, and she couldn't find a single flaw, but she firmly believed that it was a lie, relying on her mother's vision.

What is the truth, she still wants to know that her mother's revenge will be avenged in the end.

"Xiaoqing, do you know where Liu Niang lives?"

Xiaoqing thought for a long time and said: "It seems that I haven't returned to my hometown, and there are no people in my hometown, it is said that I went to a temple, and people said that I went to pray for the eldest lady." ”

"Do you know exactly?"

Song Jiayao was a little impatient, after all, this matter was about her mother, and the truth was in front of her, so she couldn't help but get nervous.

Xiaoqing shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, anyway, it's a very small village in the north of the city, the kind that won't be discovered, I'm afraid that someone in the house will retaliate." ”

"I'll look for it tomorrow." Song Jiayao made up her mind.

Seeing this, Xiaoqing still stopped him and said: "I am a first-hand witness to the incident of the White Horse Temple before, I know how dangerous this is, I have the right to speak, I can't let you go to death." ”

"The matter of the White Horse Temple was arranged by Wang Xi, with this incident, presumably she didn't dare to move again for the time being, and this time we set off earlier, she didn't have time to prepare."

Xiaoqing saw that Song Jiayao was determined, so she said, "Then I'll go with you." ”

"Don't go, your wounds aren't healed yet."

Xiaoqing looked at her injuries and no longer insisted, just like her, she had to be taken care of all the way, and she was still held back when she encountered danger.

It's just that the young lady goes out alone, it really can't be reassuring, now Song Anguo and Nangong Jin are not around, how can this be good, Xiaoqing suddenly remembered Zhang San, this person's performance in the White Horse Temple is really heroic, and he can be trusted.

"Miss, if you have to go, why don't you take Zhang San with you, after all, the road is difficult."

Song Jiayao thought about it and felt that it made sense, now she first wants to protect herself, if she dies, there will be no one to avenge her mother.

Thinking of this, Song Jiayao turned around and said, "Tomorrow, I'll go find Zhang San to escort me, you can rest assured." ”

Hearing Song Jiayao say this, Xiaoqing was relieved and got up to pack Song Jiayao's luggage.

This woman is no better than a man when she goes out, and there are more trivial items, these things are taken care of by Xiaoqing on weekdays, and now although she is injured, she can't be idle, and she can't trust others.

Packed up, it was already late at night, Song Jiayao was lying on the bed, her mind was full of her mother in the firelight, and her eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to her mother.

While thinking about it, I entered the dream.

By the time Song Jiayao woke up, the sky was already bright, and Song Jiayao didn't ask the time, and hurriedly got dressed.

The maid in the courtyard had already put the food on the table, because Song Jiayao didn't eat much on weekdays, so the maid only took some osmanthus cake and made some flower tea.

Song Jiayao stuffed an osmanthus cake into her mouth, drank a sip of flower tea, and breakfast was over.

At this time, Zhang San also came to ask for a meeting.

"I was looking for him, but he came quickly."

Song Jiayao got up and saw Zhang San coming in, and she didn't say much about etiquette, but said straight to the point: "Second Miss, I thought about it all night and felt that you must be investigating this matter, so I came over as soon as possible." ”

Song Jiayao was very pleased, but she didn't expect Zhang San to take her own affairs very seriously, thinking that when the matter was over, it would be okay to introduce Xiaoqing to him, but now it is inconvenient to mention this matter.

"I've already thought about it, go find the maid next to my mother, she lives in the north of the city, but the specific location is not clear, I have to inquire all the way, you go back and pack your bags."

"I'm a rough man, the sky is covered by the earth, it's enough to put some silver in exchange for some food, I don't need any luggage, I can set off at any time, and I have arranged all the soldiers, once the second lady has any changes, they will also notify me."

"I have a heart."
