The second lady Cao Shi said in a trembling voice: "This, this, how did the third young master become like this......"

"Second lady, second lady, save the third young master......" Aunt Huang grabbed the sleeve of the second lady Cao, like a drowning person grasping the last life-saving straw, and screamed: "Save the third young master, please the imperial doctor, the imperial doctor......

……

Night.

2 bedrooms, Wenxiu Temple.

The room was silent.

The second lady Cao looked tired and was sitting in front of the dressing table with her eyes closed.

Mother Feng gently helped the second lady Cao to disassemble the bun, and then skillfully massaged the head of the second lady Cao.

It's been a long time.

"Hey!" The second lady Cao let out a long sigh and finally opened her eyes.

Raising her hand, the second lady Cao Shi motioned to Feng's mother to stop her movements, and sighed: "In this ear, I finally can't hear Aunt Jiang's screams." ”

Because the third young master Wei Zheng was injured, the second lady Cao was the wife in charge of the Zhenguo Hou Mansion, and secondly, out of selfishness, she had to stay in Ning Yiju for a long time, during which Aunt Huang's non-stop screaming and crying almost made her faint......

"Madame, why do you have such a heart? Everyone in the house knows that you are sick now......" Feng's mother said: "Besides, the person who beat the third young master like that is Mrs. Tai, that is the matter between Mrs. Tai and Aunt Huang, and Sanfang...... Whether the third young master is dead or alive, and what does it have to do with our second room...... Madame has been affected this time, and I don't know if Aunt Huang can return this kindness......"

The second lady Cao Shi was silent, thinking to herself, she is not uncommon, whether Aunt Huang can repay the favor, as long as what Aunt Zhang said can be done, then she can do whatever she wants......

Mother Feng saw that the second lady Cao was silent in thought, so she didn't dare to say anything more, and pinched her shoulders for the second lady Cao, but her heart was very uncalm.

Mother Feng has served the second lady Cao for half her life, and it can be said that the subtle changes in the second lady Cao's heart cannot hide from her eyes...... Since the second lady Cao suddenly agreed to help Mrs. Leng yesterday, Mother Feng has keenly noticed that the second lady Cao has something important in her heart......

In the past, if the second lady Cao had anything, she would definitely discuss it with Feng's mother, but this time, Feng's mother deliberately provoked the conversation several times, and the second lady Cao had no intention of talking to her...... Thinking of the growing suspicion of the second lady Cao after Yun Shi's betrayal, Feng's mother couldn't help but be shocked, and secretly thought, Mrs. Fei didn't even trust her now......

The room was silent for a long time.

"Didn't she eat from the kitchen today?" Second Lady Cao suddenly asked.

Feng's mother immediately reined in her thoughts and said, "I said that I had a bad appetite, and all the meals sent by the kitchen were returned intact." ”

didn't eat the food in the kitchen of the second bedroom, but this doesn't mean that the person didn't eat, for this, Feng's mother is very clear, and the second lady Cao is also very clear.

"Humph!" The second lady Cao snorted coldly, her tone full of disdain and coldness.

"Ma'am." Dong'er's voice sounded outside the curtain.

"What's wrong?" But it was Feng's mother who asked out loud.

"Second Miss asks to see you." Dong'er said.

Mother Feng raised her eyebrows and hurriedly looked at the second lady Cao.

The second lady Cao nodded.

"Please come in, Second Miss." Feng's mother said.

Soon, the curtain was lifted, her face was a little pale, and Wei Xian, who was seriously blue at the moment, walked in.

"I've seen my mother." Wei Xian respectfully saluted the second lady Cao.

"Excuse me, excuse me." The second lady Cao said with a smile.

Wei Xian straightened up, and slightly blessed Mother Feng on the side.

Mother Feng just bowed her head.

"Why did you come here at this point, but what's the matter?" The second lady Cao asked.

Wei Xian raised her face, she gritted her teeth tightly, with a fight on her face that seemed to be a broken boat, reflecting her abnormal face, which looked a little crazy under the light.

……

Early summer, night.

In a brightly lit alley, a song and dance are leveling, and the sound of silk and bamboo laughter is endless.

This is the famous Pinjin Cave prosperous lane in the capital, both sides of the alley are all different specifications of the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, the largest Qinglou Wanhualou in the capital is in the middle of this flower lane.

Passing through the splendid Wanhualou, next to its back door is a long and dark alley, and then walking through this long and wide silent alley, there is a place called Crescent Alley.

Although Crescent Lane is very close to the bustling alley and has a nice name, it is a dark, narrow slum alley.

Unlike the bustling alleys where sheng songs are boiling, Crescent Alley is very quiet at this time.

Suddenly.

A terrible cry sounded, and then a woman's fierce curse sounded in the alley, and then, in the midst of the wailing and cursing, the sound of the door being opened, and then the crying and cursing came to the middle of the alley, and in the silence of the night, it resounded in the ears.

Some of the other residents in the alley opened the door, and some pushed open the window, and by the cold and bright moonlight, Gu Du looked at the four noisy people in the alley.

The sad crying was a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, who had a small melon seed face, and whose eyebrows and eyes looked very beautiful and soft in the moonlight, and she tried to go back while crying, but she was pushed and shoved by a woman in her thirties and forties, with a long face, and had to go forward......

Behind the soft girl and the long-faced woman was a middle-aged man who was slightly hunched over, the man raised his hand slightly, hesitantly stretched and shrunk, his eyes were worried and unbearable to look at the soft girl who was beaten and scolded by the long-faced woman, and the expression on his face was very sad.

Behind the middle-aged man, there was a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, who had his hands behind his back and looked at everything in front of him indifferently, with a very bored look on his face.

Seeing that she was about to get out of the alley, the soft girl was in a hurry, and she couldn't care about the fear in her heart, so she suddenly rushed back vigorously......

The long-faced woman's gaze was fierce, and she pulled and pulled vigorously, and threw the soft girl to the stone floor.

The soft girl screamed so badly that she couldn't move for a long time.

The middle-aged man was in a hurry, and with a "babbling" sound, he was about to step forward to help the soft girl.

The long-faced woman looked at the knife with one eye, and the middle-aged man's face stiffened, and he took two steps back.

"You damn girl!" The long-faced woman was very annoyed when she looked at the soft girl who was lying on her stomach, and stepped forward and kicked the soft girl fiercely.

The soft girl may have just fallen hard and still failed to ease her nerves, or she may have learned to endure after being beaten more times on weekdays, and just screamed in a low voice.

There was a whisper of chatter in the alley.

The long-faced woman looked around, very angry at being looked at what was happening at the moment, and in a blink of an eye she saw that the soft girl was still lying on the ground and did not move, her face was even more angry, and she stepped forward and made up two feet on the soft girl's body, and then she pointed at the soft girl on the ground and scolded: "You dead girl!" Why don't you get up for me, lie on the ground and pretend to be dead......"

The feminine girl sobbed, but did not move.

"Hah!" The long-faced woman sneered and said angrily, "What are you doing here?" Do you think you can play dead and not be sold? Ha! Ha! I tell you, I sold you today, tonight you are the girl of Wanhualou, even if you die, you will wait for me to take your money from selling yourself and die in that Wanhualou......"

After listening to the long-faced woman's words, the delicate girl could not help but cry loudly again, and her voice was very sad.

The long-faced woman's eyebrows were almost upset by the cry of the soft girl, and she kicked the soft girl fiercely, shouting, "You dead girl is the one who has a heart!" You just want me and your uncle to be embarrassed...... I'm going to kill you today! ”

As she spoke, the long-faced woman raised her foot and kicked at the delicate and feminine girl.

"Auntie!" The delicate girl hugged the long-faced woman's thigh, and begged with a mournful voice, "I beg you, auntie, don't sell me...... I will work, I will do any work, and I will serve you like a maid...... Auntie, please don't sell me......"

"You're still crying! Still crying! The long-faced woman didn't pay any attention to what the soft girl said, she just felt that the discussion around her was louder, and she secretly hated that it was because of the soft girl that she would be pointed out, and her heart was angry...... She wanted to raise her foot and kick the soft girl, but her thigh was tightly hugged by the soft girl, she struggled several times and couldn't get out, and her anger rushed to the top of her head, she clenched her fists with both hands, opened the bow left and right, and beat the soft girl's back like crazy, the "Bang! Boom! Boom! The sound of "Knocking Straight to the Heart".

"You little slut! You're the one who made your heart! You will save the face of me and your uncle! The long-faced woman cursed as she thrashed, "...... I told you a few days ago that I would sell you today, but you have been silent, but you made trouble for me today, and you still made trouble outside...... I'll kill you, black-hearted, white-eyed wolf! Raise you and repay my ...... like this"

The delicate and feminine girl was already pale, and her messy hair was sticking to the little face of the melon seeds covered with tears, which looked particularly sad and pitiful...... She still hugged the long-faced woman's thigh tightly, as if she had fallen into a kind of psychedelia, and did not feel the beating, but only knew that her mouth repeated the words of pleading.

Although Moon Lane is small, there are many people living there, and right now, those who stand at the door and look out, those who lie on the edge of the window and look out, and even those who come up close...... Everyone looked at the soft girl's eyes with some pity and couldn't bear it...... But no one said a word to the poor feminine girl.

The feminine girl was finally beaten and lost her strength, and slowly let go of the hand holding the thigh of the long-faced woman.

As soon as the long-faced woman's legs broke away, she immediately slapped her dress twice in disgust, and then, she stared fiercely at the soft girl who was crooked on the ground, and a sentence suddenly appeared in her heart: Stun her, stun her and carry her directly to Wanhualou......

Just as the long-faced woman lifted her foot, she was about to kick the soft girl's heart.

"Stop!" A sharp shout suddenly came from the mouth of the alley.

The long-faced woman was stunned, and looked with the others at the man who had spoken out.

The crowd at the entrance of the alley dispersed, and a gentleman in a warm and luxurious costume was standing there with an angry face on his face.

This noble son is Cheng Yunqing.
