Chapter 421: Lies (2)
Remember [Wind and Rain] in one second, and read it for free without pop-ups!
The moonlight is just right, and there is a breeze blowing under the corridor, blowing a faint fragrance of cinnamon. It's a pity that the faint cry spoiled the atmosphere at this time.
Aunt Yuan stood in front of the window and listened carefully for a long time, and the voice seemed to come from outside her yard, not looking for a corner where no one was looking. "Suxiang?"
She pushed the door and walked to the porch and shouted again, but no one answered, not only Su Xiang, but the whole courtyard was quiet as if she was the only one. "Looks like I'm too lax with you on weekdays! How dare you be so lazy and slippery! But this would not be the time to teach a lesson, she carried the lantern under the porch, and followed the direction from which the voice came.
Behind the courtyard is the back garden of the house, and the sound is coming from somewhere. The light of the fire in the lantern flickered in the night wind, and Aunt Yuan followed the garden path all the way.
She just killed Zhong there today.
Thinking of this, she paused, and a chill poured in from the top of her head, and flowed rapidly all over her limbs.
She subconsciously took a step back, but gritted her teeth and stood still, when she was alive, the Zhong family was her subordinate, could she be afraid that she would not succeed if she died!
Aunt Yuan snorted coldly: "I want to see who is pretending to be a ghost here!" ”
Through the heavy flowers and trees, Aunt Yuan stepped on the shadow of the lamp and came to the pond, the pond was lined with lotus winds, and the green lotus leaves spread out, filling the small half of the pond. Most of the remaining pond was pitch black, with only the slight flickering of the sparkling waves of the moonlight.
The cry had disappeared on her way to come, and there was silence in the garden, except for her standing by the pond with a lantern. She looked around and sneered: "You have the ability to pretend to be a ghost, why don't you dare to show up and be a shrunken turtle!" ”
Before she could finish speaking, the calm water suddenly rippled, as if something was hiding underneath and was floating.
Yuan's breath froze for a moment, and she broke out in a cold sweat, and she took a step back in horror, staring straight at the dark water.
The ripples grew larger and larger, and at last there was a sound like a tidal wave, and then a wet figure floated up from inside.
Aunt Yuan's hand shook, and the lantern fell to the ground and went out, and then the figure became clearer in the darkness, and even a face as white as paper could be seen under the wet hair.
That's Chung!
Even if the facial features are blurred in the dark, how can Aunt Yuan, who has been fighting with the Zhong family for more than ten years, not recognize it! And that dress is clearly the one she wore when she drowned!
"Ghosts! Ghosts! Yuan's voice trembled and went out of tune, and Fang Cai's momentum disappeared in an instant, and he didn't care about his legs becoming weak, and stumbled back in a dark garden.
Fortunately, not far from Tinglan Courtyard, Yuan fell twice, rolled the dust all over his body, and threw himself into it.
When I came out, I didn't realize it, but Aunt Yuan was standing in the silent courtyard all around, only the two lanterns under the eaves of the porch swayed gently in the wind, emitting a dim light, no matter how you look at it, it feels seeping. Aunt Yuan shouted angrily and frightenedly: "Someone! Where are they all dead, why don't you come out and serve in a hurry! ”
Aunt Yuan ran to the next person's room and slammed the door a few times, but the people inside didn't react at all. Frightened and angry, she kicked the door unlocked, and opened it.
Aunt Yuan stepped in, but saw that several bedding inside were neatly folded, and no one was sleeping at all. She only felt that her brain was wooden, and she was stunned on the spot. What about people? Where have all the people gone?
"Step on ...... ......The sound of kicking and tapping footsteps came from behind him, as if the body of the person coming was extremely heavy, and his feet rubbed the ground hard.
Aunt Yuan gritted her teeth and turned her head suddenly, and saw Zhong standing in the middle of the courtyard drenched in a wet body, dragged by the skirt where she walked by, and pulled out a long trail of water by her skirt.
"You ......" Aunt Yuan's body trembled involuntarily, and her teeth chattered uncontrollably. The hair on her sideburns was lifted by the night wind, and it was itchy and trembling on her face and ears, making her feel more and more creepy.
"It's so cold in the water...... Zhong Shi spoke, his voice like an invisible thread, entwining every inch of Aunt Yuan's nerves from the inside out in the dark night. Let her head and toes be pierced by a bone-piercing coldness, and the chill stuck to her skin inch by inch, difficult to dispel.
"Don't come here!" Aunt Yuan retreated in horror and said forcefully: "It's your fault, it's your own fault!" ”
Zhong Shi laughed gloomily and said, "You have done so many unfortunate things, you will go to hell sooner or later, why don't you come down and accompany me now!" ”
"You talk nonsense! I didn't have ......"
"Didn't you?" Zhong's voice was soft and light, but the coldness was even worse than Fang Cai: "Aren't those words you said to the third lady a bad thing?" ”
"I ...... It's none of your business! Yuan's voice seemed to be squeezed out of his throat, and he was difficult and sluggish: "Besides, I didn't tell a lie, Gongsun Xian was not her biological in the first place, but was brought back from the outside!" ”
"But you misled the third lady, making her think that Gongsun Xian was born in the old man's outer room, and in order to let the children in the outer room have the status of the main room, you will not save her children when they see death......" Zhong grinned weirdly, and said quietly: "The sixth lady suffered in vain, and the death was wronged, and you were resentful in your heart, and you have long been waiting for the opportunity to take revenge, and you want to disturb the restlessness of the house." ”
When Yuan heard this, he didn't know which word he was angry about, so he no longer defended, and said: "Hmph, why are you living comfortably one by one, but my daughter died in vain, no one pities her, I, as a mother, naturally want to do something for her!" Now I have nothing to look forward to, nothing to fear! If you die today, they won't be able to escape tomorrow! ”
Her words were tragic and crazy, and Zhong felt furious in his heart, and he could hardly act. But as a "ghost", she can't be intimidated by the other party, so she can only sneer: "I'm afraid you don't have this opportunity......"
Yuan was aroused, and he actually stepped forward, glared at Zhong's pale and wet figure and said, "Even if you want my life today, it's okay!" I'm a ghost in the future, and I won't necessarily lose to you! I'm going to get you out of the way! Destroy the Gongsun Mansion and destroy the family! “
Zhong Shi looked at the Yuan family in front of her, and the previous desire to take revenge gradually faded, and she felt that the Yuan family was crazy.
"Yuan! You're not small! Gongsun Jingxiu's voice came, and he was followed by the third lady. The subordinates of Tinglan Courtyard also walked out of the surroundings one after another, and they didn't even dare to breathe!
Yuan Shi turned his head suddenly, looking at him in shock, "Master? Then she looked at Zhong standing in the middle of the courtyard, suddenly understood something, and said angrily: "You are not dead!" You're all together to lie to me! ”
The third lady looked at her and shook her head again and again, and said: "Ying'er's matter, it happened suddenly, I know that you have never been able to accept this matter, but you shouldn't blame others for this matter, let alone make a fuss about the fifth child!" ”
Although Gongsun Xian was not born to the Tan family, she was also raised by her, and her affection was extraordinary. When she heard Yuan reveal something, her heart was suffocated and she almost collapsed!
"Needless to say. Let people send Yuan's family to the family temple overnight to cultivate their self-cultivation! ”
Gongsun Jingxiu's cold words made everyone in the courtyard shrink their shoulders, and Yuan's family was even more like being struck by lightning, "I'm not going!" I don't want to be locked up there for the rest of my life! ”
But her words were no longer heeded.
The two mothers-in-law with big shoulders and round waists stepped forward, gagged, tied their hands, and carried her down directly, without leaving her half a penny.
Such a moth must not remain in the family.
Zhong turned his head to look at her figure struggling under the servant's hand, and couldn't help but shrink into the shadows. But Gongsun Jingxiu's gaze still swept towards her. "The sins of heaven are forgivable, but the sins of oneself cannot be lived! If you didn't provoke the Yuan family, how could this happen today! ”
"Master, madam, the concubine is wrong, and she is willing to be punished......" Zhong went through today's ups and downs, and he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he quickly admitted his mistake.
Gongsun Jingxiu glanced at the Tan family and said, "You can do it." ”
Tan Shi thought of her misunderstanding of her husband, and couldn't help but show self-blame and shame. "Just let her think about it behind closed doors for a month."
Hearing this, the Zhong family hurriedly thanked him, Gongsun Jingxiu was noncommittal, and everyone left one after another.
……
In the Yunluo Courtyard, everyone was still packing up the things to be brought on the road for Gongsun Lan.
When Yuan's news was reported here, everyone's reaction was very flat, only Yuexi said: "I didn't expect the matter to be solved so easily, thank you Zhong, if it weren't for her, Miss would have to pay more attention to it." ”
Twilight is worried about how to put Gongsun Lan's usual tea set into the only box she asks to bring! After listening to Yuexi's words, he was impatient: "Yuexi, you come and help me!" ”
Yuexi looked at her speechlessly and said, "Miss has said it, if you can not bring it, you won't bring it." ”
"How's that going to work? Although the young lady is going to the border, she can't mix with a group of big men to drink tea in a coarse porcelain bowl, right? I've heard that in the barracks, it's not that exquisite. ”
Twilight Rain also said on the side: "This cage really can't bring much things, I'm afraid I'm going to wronged Miss." ”
Yuexi couldn't say anything, so she had to come over to help, but she couldn't do it after trying a few times, and she couldn't put those tea sets in at all. Gongsun Lan walked over, took out a tea cup from the set of light flowers and birds tea set, and said, "Just bring this one." ”
Twilight and Twilight looked at each other and had to compromise.
"This time, I will follow me alone, and you will all stay in the house." Although Gongsun Lan is not a minister of civil and military affairs, he has also attracted a lot of attention. This time I went out, and the quieter the better.
She looked at the appearance of a few girls who wanted to speak and stopped, and said: "You are in the house, although Lei Cheng helps them, but they are outsiders after all, they can't come often, you guard the yard and try not to conflict with other people in the house, but when you have to, you don't have to endure it, go directly to the old man Gongsun, he won't care." ”
"Miss, why worry about us, up and down in this house, how dare anyone trouble our yard. You better take care of yourself, don't be careless. Twilight said with some disgust, not worrying that Yuexi would follow Gongsun Lan out by herself.
Gongsun Lan nodded with a smile, and said, "Duchun and Li Chaosheng, it is still good to find their whereabouts." ”
"Yes, the slave knows!"
"It's a pity that I can't watch Twilight and Lei Wu get married."
Twilight and Twilight glanced at each other and said with a smile, "They say that this cup of tea must be toasted no matter what time it is!" ”
