It's only been half a day, Guangdan came in with ginseng soup, and said softly to Xiao Rongyue's side: "Yan in the small kitchen has begged for an errand to watch the fire, and the flower mother who burns the fire has a stomach, she just went up from the handyman two days ago to help the small kitchen, and she has only followed a few cooks to wash and cut in the past two days." ”

Xiao Rongyue glanced at the ginseng soup: "Then call her in." ”

Guangdan's face was grim and he agreed to go down.

When they came in again, Sanqi and Camellia also came in with a few rough envoys, standing on both sides of the outer hall of the main house and watching Yanlai come in.

Yan Lai was thin, with thin eyebrows and thin eyes, and walked in with his neck bent, and he trembled a little when he saw those few people, and when he saw Xiao Rongyue, he bowed down.

Xiao Rongyue stared at her carefully and smiled: "Am I so scary?" When he saw me, he knelt down. ”

Yan Lai's voice also trembled: "Lady, maid, maid......"

"I called you to reward you." Xiao Rongyue waved his hand, and Guangdan took the ginseng soup out and put it in front of Yan Lai, "This ginseng soup was stewed by you watching the fire?" The stew is good, so if I want to reward you, I will reward you with this ginseng soup. ”

She smiled lightly and looked at Yan Lai intently: "You can use it here." ”

Yan Lai was inexplicably frightened, and dared to glance at the ginseng soup, but he quickly took two steps back, as if he had seen something terrible, his face was white and gray, and he kowtowed desperately to Xiao Rongyue: "The lady spares her life, the lady spares her life......"

When Camellia and Sanqi heard her begging for mercy, they immediately became angry and glared at her with gritted teeth.

Xiao Rongyue laughed out loud and didn't speak, just watched her begging for mercy and kowtowing, knocking until her forehead was broken and swollen, and her face was full of tears, so she slowly ordered: "She refuses to accept this reward herself, you can help her." ”

Sanqi couldn't help it a long time ago, called the mother-in-law to step forward, pressed Yanlai tightly, pinched her hands and feet to restrain this, don't turn her face to pry her mouth open, and the mother-in-law led by the mother-in-law picked up the bowl of ginseng soup and poured it in without saying anything, let Yanlai cry and struggle in vain, after all, it was fed without a drop.

By the time the mother-in-law let go of her hand, Yan Lai was already crying and almost nauseated, and she was soft on the ground like a puddle of mud.

"I said at the beginning that the people who follow me will not be wronged, and the monthly money is enough, and there is only one thing that must not be committed, that is, I have two hearts." Xiao Rongyue looked at Yan Lai's appearance, but there was no pity in her eyes, she was cold.

Yan Lai couldn't say anything to beg for mercy, and desperately picked his throat, trying to spit out the ginseng soup poured in, but he was still held down by his mother-in-law.

"Pull it down, and when the attack is over, send it to the government office." Xiao Rongyue waved her hand and asked her mother-in-law to drag Yan Lai out.

Looking at Yan Lai's appearance, Camellia was frightened: "Lady, then the rest of the maids will be buried." ”

"Keep it, such a good thing, they will enjoy it in the future." Xiao Rongyue said coldly, she doesn't know what magnanimity is, she only knows karma, whoever sows the sin should suffer it herself.

As soon as the day dawned in mid-autumn, the gate of Dufu was opened as soon as it was opened.

A few sturdy mothers-in-law in Qiu Shiyuan carried a door panel, shouting to open the door, and the maids and servants followed the noise and shouted to go out to report to the official, and the few gatekeepers were also familiar with them, looking at the broken bamboo mat on the door panel as if it was covered with a person, and suddenly startled: "What's the matter?" Could it be that someone is going to die? ”

Mother Zheng, who was following behind, cried with a sad face, and stomped her feet again and again when she heard someone asking: "Something is wrong, yesterday Yan from the small kitchen in our garden helped the lady stew ginseng soup, and her eyelids were shallow, and she secretly ate a few bites by herself, who knows, just ...... After hiding in the lower room and making trouble all night, the lady was so frightened that she fell ill and ordered us to carry it to the official. ”

She kept her feet as she spoke, waving her hands and shaking her head with those few: "I can't wait, someone is dead, it's important to go to the government first......"

The few people who were dumbfounded and watched this group of people go out in a hurry, and it took a long time to remember, and hurriedly sent the news to Chunhua Garden.

After hearing the rumor coming in, the ginseng soup in Pei's hand smashed to the ground, and most of the skirt was splashed wet and he couldn't take care of it: "What did you say?" The handmaid who watched the fire died? What about Shaw? Where is she? ”

The mother-in-law who replied leaned over: "The lady is fine, but she was so scared that she fell ill, and told Mother Zheng to report to the official." ”

Pei's body staggered, and he couldn't get up for a long time, but Du Lan next to him was anxious: "Quick, let people chase it back, today is mid-autumn, how can such a thing happen!" ”

The mother-in-law had a bitter face: "I'm afraid that this time I'm already in the market, I'm afraid I'm going to ...... when I chase it back."

You can't chase it back! What's more, what's the reason to stop!

Du Lan was so anxious that he shot the case directly: "Auntie, didn't you say that Mrs. Xiao has already arranged it properly, why did it become like this!" ”

Pei Shi easily breathed a sigh of relief, but he was weak, and his face was like gold paper: "How do I know, how will I die ......?"

Duran quickly interrupted her: "Ah Niang, I'm afraid this matter is not good, I have to report it to the official seriously, I can't say what will be found, Ah Niang still made plans earlier." ”

She waved her hand to retreat left and right, and whispered to Pei's family: "If it really makes a fuss, A-Niang has to insist that it has nothing to do with this matter, and you must not admit it, that thing was sent by the Xiao family, and she also poisoned her stepdaughter ruthlessly, so she can't involve us." ”

She was afraid that Pei Shi couldn't help but be frightened, and if she was confused for a while, something would happen.

Pei Shi nodded again and again, gritting his teeth: "Her business has nothing to do with me, I haven't fallen into her hands for anything." ”

said so, but I was still scared in my heart, and when I thought of the previous incident of the Yin family, I only felt terrified, why things are not going well these days, and the officials are constantly changing.

The restless Pei family and Du Lan's mother and daughter only felt that life was like a year, and they never felt that there was such a difficult day, and they didn't even have the intention to arrange the family banquet in mid-autumn, but they just hastily instructed the housekeeper's mother to take care of it, but they paid attention to the news of Qiushiyuan and the mansion.

It's just that it hasn't been noon yet, and the news of the government has not come, but there are guests in the house.

Seeing that when He took Du Yu to greet the three clan elders outside the door, Pei's face was darker than the bottom of the pot, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times before he squeezed out a sentence: "What are you going to do?" ”

He didn't look at her, but respectfully saluted the three clan elders: "Uncles, please come into the house, Lang Jun is very sick, and he has had a headache since he was injured that time, and he can't come to greet him in person, and I hope the uncles will forgive me." ”

The first one was the oldest in the Du family, Du Anzhi, the cousin of Du Kui and his brothers, and he was still a little unsteady standing on crutches and supporting the child, and when he saw the He family, he frowned: "Yi Lang's daughter-in-law, what did you ask Erlang to go to the clan and invite a few of our old people over?" also said that something big happened in this house, what is going on? ”

Pei's eyes glared angrily, today is mid-autumn, the second room is restless and stays in the room, guarding Du Yi, who is sick and dying, and Du Yu, the son of Du Yu, who is not successful, actually went to the clan, and invited the clan elders, is it possible that he still wants to make trouble!

She stepped forward with a stiff face: "Uncles, what's going on, the second brother and sister asked Erlang to invite you to come, but they didn't tell me, today is mid-autumn, and it's really rude to work so hard for you to hurry......

Du Kui hurried over from Aunt Dai's courtyard, and was also surprised to see these three, so he didn't bother to ask more, so he politely invited them to sit down in the main hall first.

Sitting down and eating a cup of tea, Du Anzhi stroked his gray beard and looked at He Shi with a frown: "Daughter-in-law Yilang, what are you going to do here?" What's the big thing you're talking about? ”

He pulled Du Yu over, and knelt in front of several clan elders: "Let's invite Sanfang to come over, there are some things that my nephew and daughter-in-law really can't help but say, if you don't say it again, I'm afraid this house will be ruined!" ”

Pei's heart trembled, staring at the bitter and hateful He family, and an ominous premonition came to his heart.
