Chapter 1 The maiden returns home

Daxiang Xuande for nine years. The imperial capital of Chang'an, the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The sun warmly sprinkled a golden glow, divided the flowers and brushed the willows, and fainted out circles of light.

Murong Xun knelt on the cold bluestone floor, there was a tingling pain in her knees, she lowered her head, and the green silk like a waterfall fell from her ears to the floor, blocking her face, and also blocking the cold and murderous aura in her eyes from time to time, making her whole person look gentle and obedient, like a sheep without any harm.

In front of him was a tightly closed door, blocking the eyes of the world's peeping eyes, and I don't know how sinister the owner inside was at the moment. All around is the sound of people pointing and whispering, all indifferent and stagnant silence. Before long, I watched the door open, and a middle-aged woman in her forties walked out in the dim light and shadow, wearing a half-new embroidered liuyun skirt, combing the latest Jinyun fragrant sideburns of a woman in Beijing, with a serious expression, and the corners of her eyes slightly raised, looking sharp and mean.

Walking in step by step, she picked up Murong Xun's chin, her eyes flashed with a faint resentful light, and said with a slight mockery: "The appearance is a little similar to that fox girl, even the sassy and energetic on her body have a taste!" ”

After a pause, the woman smiled again: "The master has gone to the northwest and has not come back, your identity is to wait for the master to come back and make a decision." Until then, you'll have to stay in the house first! Her index finger swept across Murong Xun's fair face, leaving a clear red mark, her lips were close to her ear, and she said in a cold and mocking tone: "From today on, you are the lowest slave in our Murong Mansion!" ”

The woman waved her hand, and a girl in a pink shirt stepped forward and said respectfully, "What do you have to say, Madame?" ”

The woman said: "Chun Tao, take this little slut down!" She looked at Yahuan with deep eyes, and said, "Make a good arrangement!" ”

With that, the woman walked away slowly, supported by the other two maids.

At this time, Chun Tao straightened her chest, glanced at the people in the courtyard with a smile, and said, "Everyone can hear clearly, from today on, this person is the lowest cheap maid in our house, saying that if you dare to give her a good face, you will not be able to get along with your wife, you know?" After a slight pause, Chun Tao looked at Murong Xun on the ground condescendingly and said, "Don't get up yet, follow me!" ”

Murong Xun lowered his gaze and smiled faintly, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, overflowing with coldness. got up, and in the indifferent eyes of everyone, he left with the big girl who called the spring peach.

Chun Tao is the confidant of the eldest lady, and the eldest lady often only needs a look, and she already knows what to do. At this moment, Chun Tao took Murong Xun to the front of a dark and damp little black house, pointed to the room in front of him and said, "You live here for the time being, take a little rest and start working, and later, Hui Niang will come and tell you what to do, you are not allowed to be lazy." Also, don't leave this courtyard casually, don't scare the noble young masters and young ladies in the house, you know? ”

Murong Xun nodded lightly and said lightly, "Got it!" ”。

Murong Xun's nails scratched across the mottled walls, overlapping with a small piece of blurred light and shadow in his memory, as if it was here that the poor woman had been discovered to have committed adultery. And now, the eldest lady let her live in the place where her mother had been humiliated, which shows that the cancer in the eldest lady's heart has not improved because of her mother's expulsion, but has become more and more serious.

Stepping into the room, a musty smell that had not seen the sun for a long time broke into his nose, Murong Xun wrinkled his nose, put the burden on his shoulders at will, gently touched the dust on the old bed, and a sneer bloomed on his lips, "What kind of master really raises what kind of dog!" ”

At this moment, the gate was pushed open recklessly, and the old and dilapidated gate creaked, like an old man approaching his twilight years, just like this lifeless Murong Mansion. Murong Xun turned her head and glanced lightly, she saw a middle-aged woman standing at the door, her face was crossed, she looked very fierce, she glared at Murong Xun, and shouted loudly: "New here, start working when you have enough rest!" ”

The corners of Murong Xun's mouth twitched slightly, smiling a little cold, a little mysterious, and slowly walked in front of the woman, raising his eyebrows and saying, "Hui Niang? ”

The woman's eyes narrowed, she took a half step back, and wondered, "You know me?" ”

Murong Xun took a step forward, put his head close to the woman's ear, and said softly: "Of course, eight years ago, because of your shameless betrayal, an innocent and poor woman died tragically in a foreign land!" So, today, you too will die, and it is your right to forgive your sins! ”

The woman's pupils shrank, and she only felt a chill hit her back, and exclaimed, "What did you say?" ”

The willow branches are clinging, and the flowers are vibrant. Between the flowers and willows, I saw a woman with busy footsteps shuttling through it, running towards the Shangliu Pavilion where the eldest lady lived.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw the eldest lady sitting calmly on the Taishi chair drinking hot tea, raising her eyes and gently glancing at the panicked woman in front of her, a trace of disdain slowly rose from her eyes, and scolded: "Panicked, what happened?" ”

The woman is about thirty years old, wearing a purple fringed long skirt, with a graceful posture and a slight posture, it is Murong Hua's third aunt.

I saw that the third aunt looked at the eldest lady and stopped talking, opened her mouth a few times but didn't know where to start, and hurriedly walked around the house a few times, and then came to the eldest lady's side, and said with a worried face: "I heard that Murong Xun's little slut is back!" ”

The eldest lady gave a gentle sigh.

The third aunt lowered her eyes and rolled her eyes, and said, "I didn't kill their mother and daughter together back then, and this little slut won't come back to us for revenge at this moment!" It's been eight years, where do you say she has been in the past few years, why didn't she come back early, didn't come back late, but came back when Shan'er got married? Why didn't you drive her away and let her come back? ”

The eldest lady's eyes flashed, revealing a little coldness and murderous aura, she closed the lid of the teacup fiercely, and said coldly: "If I can kill her the first time, I can kill her the second time!" Avenge? Hehe, I want her to live until then! ”

The eldest lady helped her hair bun and continued: "Fortunately, the master went to Shanxi, and it is not the right time for this little slut to come back, so she is unlucky!" We're going to get rid of this trouble before the master returns! ”

The third aunt was too steady and steady, and then said, "Are you paying attention?" ”

The eldest lady smiled coldly and said, "It's easier to kill her than to pinch an ant to death!" But I won't let her die so happily, I'm going to torture her to death slowly to vent my hatred! I'm going to put all the humiliation I have suffered on her! That's why I didn't chase her away! ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Chun Tao running in in a hurry, and when the two ladies saw each other, they looked at the appearance of the eldest lady, thinking that there was something to report.

The eldest lady said softly: "Let's say, the third lady is not an outsider!" ”

Chun Tao said: "Madam, something happened!" Just now, a little guy said, Hui Niang, Hui Niang committed suicide by throwing herself into a well! ”

The eldest lady was startled, the blue and white porcelain teacup in her hand was heavily placed on the table on the side, stood up, and said hurriedly: "What's the matter?" Could it have something to do with that little slut? ”

Chun Tao said: "Fifth Miss...... No, although Murong Xun was also at the scene, everyone watched Hui Niang commit suicide by jumping into the well! Before she committed suicide, her sanity seemed to be a little abnormal, saying that she was sorry for the fourth aunt, and the fourth aunt came back to take revenge on Yunyun, and now the people in the house are panicking, and they all say that the ghost of the fourth aunt is back! Ma'am, you'll have to figure it out! ”

The eldest lady smiled coldly, staring fiercely at a certain place, but did not speak. At this time, the third aunt on the side couldn't sit still, her face was a little embarrassed and impatient, she walked to the eldest lady's side, and said, "This, what is this!" Why did it happen at this stall! She clasped her hands together and muttered to herself: "Fourth aunt, I'm sorry for you, if you want revenge, look for me, but it's none of Shan'er's business......"

"Smack!" The third aunt was slapped back half a step back, only to see the eldest lady looking at the third aunt with hatred, and said coldly: "This point was frightened? It's that slut's ghost back, and I'm going to tell her to never be reborn! You give me a little bit of courage, Shan'er married the prince of Daxiang, the royal family and nobles, and once she marries the past, she will be the princess above 10,000 people under one person, if something happens to your mother at this time, she is afraid that it will be disgraceful to marry! ”

mentioned the marriage of her daughter, who was regarded as her life, and the third aunt stabilized her mind a little, stroked her chest and said, "You're right, you're right!" I can't mess around at this time, Shan'er is everything to me! ”

"Ghosts?" The eldest lady stroked the trimmed and rounded nails painted with cardamom red, "You can't fight me when you're a man, and you can still stir up the wind and waves when you're a ghost?" I just want to see if you're a 'ghost' or if I'm a great person! And it's been eight years since what happened back then, and the damned people are almost dead, what can she do to me? ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw that the third aunt couldn't help nodding, "Yes, yes, it's been a long time since the incident, and even if the master investigates the things of the year, he will definitely not be able to find out anything!" ”

But Chun Tao on the side heard this, but her face changed, and she secretly glanced at the eldest lady's expression with apprehension, and she already secretly had an idea in her heart.

The eldest lady snorted coldly and said to Chun Tao: "Pass the order, and if you dare to spread rumors, cut your tongue and drive you out of the house!" ”

The jade hook hangs high. The moonlight is faint. I saw a thin figure leaning by the window, and the white light shirt looked more and more unreal in the silver moonlight, like a trance and soft dream, like a free and melancholy wind.

Murong Xun combed his black hair like a waterfall with one hand, but his eyes were empty, and his whole body was filled with a cold air like the top of a snow-capped mountain.

The past is repeated over and over again in front of my eyes. All love and hate will be re-enacted, and in the face of the blade of vengeance, all will be blurred and bones will be lost. Even if this is a double-edged sword that hurts others and hurts oneself, since you have chosen revenge, there is no room for regret.

Murong Hua, the left minister of Daxiang, the great sage of Hongru, the minister of the humerus? You will know how selfish, cowardly, and stupid you are, and how dirty, filthy, and rotten the Murong family and even the entire Daxiang Dynasty you have worked so hard to support are!

Murong, Huangfu, Li family, Shangguan, the four major families that control the fate of Daxiang, in front of that invisible hand, who can be alone?

"Who, come out!" Murong Xun's gaze changed, cold and resolute.

"It's me!" As he spoke, he watched a black shadow slowly step into the bleak moonlight.
