The westernmost part of the capital is a large residential area along the Yuxiu River, and if the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty is divided into residential areas according to the hierarchy, the northernmost area is the area where the nobles lived, and the southernmost area is where the common people lived, but the westernmost part is the merchant with a little surplus silver.

Although these people have some silver in hand, but their status is not high, naturally they can't live in the northernmost place, and in the south, they disdain to be in the company of the poor people in the south, so they live in the westernmost part of the Yuxiu River, and over time, the courtyard here is also built everywhere.

Although it is not as grand as the courtyards such as the prince's mansion and the minister's mansion on the back, it is also a clean courtyard with a small garden behind the two entrances and two exits, and it is very comfortable to live in.

In addition, the mobility of the merchants is large, but after Chu Yue got the benefits of Xiao Mu's side, he asked someone to buy a slightly secluded courtyard here, and there was a plum forest from the back door, and then he went inside to the Yuxiu River, which was very beautiful.

At night, the westernmost hall out of the courtyard was lit with candles, and the mourning hall that had just been set up had no one to mourn except for kneeling Chu Yue and others, Liu's coffin stopped in the middle, and Chu Yue knelt in front of Liu's spiritual seat wearing linen and filial piety, burning paper one by one.

She looked at the ashes in the brazier that swirled with the wind blowing in the doorway, and the tears in her eyes had been dried away, but her heart was a little worried.

I don't believe in the ghosts and gods, but she also seems a little confused through the things she crossed this time, I don't know if Liu's soul has met her real daughter after arriving in another world, whether she will dislike herself for being a liar and deceiving her most sincere feelings as a mother.

Chu Yue took a hard breath and whispered: "Mother, don't blame me, I will take care of my brother, I will, believe me!" ”

The jade wings and the red note on the side knelt there, and it was really uncomfortable to hear it, and I was about to say a few words of comfort, but I didn't want to hear footsteps outside, and then it was Zhang's mother who walked in slowly with a small package, but knelt in front of Liu and cried.

Jade Wing and Red Note looked at Mama Zhang's appearance but their hearts flashed a complicated color, they didn't expect that Mama Zhang would not follow them out of the Prime Minister's Mansion before, and now what does it mean to worship their old master by night?

Chu Yue turned her face sideways and looked at Zhang's mother, who was already crying, and finally sighed and said, "That's it, you can go back!" Lest it take too long to let those people in the Prime Minister's Mansion know, it will be a troublesome matter! ”

After listening to Chu Yue's words, Mother Zhang couldn't cry and said, "Second Miss, the old slave is really not a thing!" It's just that the old thing in the old slave's family and the two sons are working in the Zhuangzi of the Xiangfu, if the old slave follows the second lady away, the family will not be able to live! The old slave is not a thing! The old slave is not a thing! My aunt is really good to the old slave......"

"Mama Zhang!" Chu Yue looked at Mama Zhang's gray hair but slapped herself in the face, but it was very pitiful, she hurriedly helped Mama Zhang up from the ground but looked at her and said: "Mama Zhang doesn't have to be like this, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, I have left Xiangfu now that I have no relationship with Xiangfu from now on, it is really not suitable for you to drag your family to follow me, I am now also a person who is open-minded, life and death are also between this line, but I can't let you take risks with me at such an age!" ”

Chu Yue paused and looked at Mama Zhang and said: "But then again, Mama Zhang is the person next to my mother after all, and now that the tree has fallen and scattered, if you want to keep safe, you should go to work in Zhuangzi as soon as possible." Although the bitterness is a little bitter, there are not as many twists and turns as there are in the mansion, you can listen to my words and leave as soon as possible! ”

Mother Zhang endured the sadness in her eyes and nodded, but she raised her hand and held Chu Yue's hand tightly and whispered, "Second Miss, take care, there is still ......"

She settled down, but said in a hoarse voice: "Second Miss, pay attention to some Xue Ping beside Aunt Zheng!" The old slave has taken his leave! ”

Chu Yue's eyes were slightly cold, but then she saw Mama Zhang fleeing in a hurry, and suddenly her heart sank to the bottom, but she was born with endless desolation.

Her two hands clenched tightly and then let go again, in the end, she still suppressed the slight tremor of her body, but she slowly knelt in front of Liu's coffin and smiled bitterly: "Mother, I didn't expect it, right?" The person who harmed you is also the one who gave Ze Ge'er a glimmer of life! ”

Jade Wing and Red Note were confused when they heard Chu Yue's words, and they didn't know what Mother Zhang had whispered to their master just now, and the master actually let out such an emotion.

"Master?" The two girls are really sad and feel that everything is so messy now, and they are at a loss and can't find a clue.

Chu Yue raised her eyes and looked at the red note and said, "Red note, on the day of the accident, you went to the street to get medicine for my mother, did Mother Zhang accompany Luyixuan?" ”

Hongjian nodded but cried and said: "At that time, Monk Yunhai asked me to go out to grab medicine, and before leaving, I also asked Zhang's mother to take good care of my aunt, but I didn't want Zhang's mother to temporarily take someone to the back garden to pick my aunt's favorite fruits." It was at this moment that the second master had an accident, and then a rough girl who didn't enter the inner hall on weekdays shouted out loudly and said that the second master had killed someone, and at that moment the aunt ...... My aunt was frightened, and all seven of her orifices were bleeding! ”

Chu Yue closed her eyes fiercely and said slowly: "It really happened when Mother Zhang left, and a rough girl shouted out so loudly to take my mother's life!" Hehe! Good calculation! Good calculation! Even my mother's closest people have calculated it! ”

"Master?" The two girls of Jade Wing and Red Paper were taken aback, and looked at their own masters, after all, Mother Zhang had followed her aunt since she first entered the house, where did she think that Mother Zhang was actually the ghost who betrayed her aunt!

"How could she do that?" Jade Wing's voice trembled angrily, "Auntie is really kind to her, why is she doing this?" ”

Chu Yue smiled bitterly: "Presumably she doesn't want to do this, but Zhang's mother has a young son who is a gambler, this is her weakness, and now she must have taken a great risk when she tells me about Xueping!" Zhang's mother doesn't have to worry about this matter now, this woman will be cut off in the future! ”

"Master! Master! The little maid Shunzi walked quickly to the outside of the mourning hall.

"What?" Chu Yue hurriedly turned around and looked at Shunzi standing at the door, as well as the woman in white clothes behind Shunzi, who was thin and weak standing in the evening breeze as if she was going to go with the wind at any time, she couldn't help but tremble after touching Chu Yue's sharp sight.

To be honest, Chu Yue really doesn't like her when she looks at Wang Cui'e now, she looked at her pitiful at the beginning, but now she is angry when she looks at her!

If it weren't for the fact that she got Aunt Zheng's instructions to come to Brother Shangze and want to poison him, I am afraid that she would not have been able to make so much trouble this time, but even so, Chu Yue was still a little angry, although Wang Cui'e did not poison at the last moment, but she really didn't like her!

"What are you going to do?" Chu Yue's voice was extremely cold, the news revealed by what Zhang's mother said just now already made her very upset, but at this time, this woman appeared here with a ghost, and she was even more disgusted in her tone.

Wang Cui'e's body shrank slightly, but she still mustered up the courage to tremble, walked to Liu's coffin, knelt down with a thud, and kowtowed three times to Liu's spiritual position.

Immediately, she slowly got up and didn't say anything, just knelt in front of Chu Yue, but she didn't mean to leave at all.

Chu Yue laughed angrily at this woman's operation, and then looked at her coldly and said, "Miss Wang, what do you mean?" ”

Wang Cui'e's voice trembled slightly: "I...... I...... It was the second master who was harmed and went to death row, it was me who ...... It was I who killed my aunt, and I will follow the second miss in the future, if the second miss needs me to do something, I will never give up! ”

Chu Yue raised her eyebrows, she really didn't know what kind of brain circuit this woman was, she couldn't beat or scold this woman now, and killing her to vent her anger was just a pawn of the main messenger behind the scenes!

Chu Yue looked at her and said upsetly: "You have now sold yourself as a slave to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the slave status is not in my hands, what are you doing with me?" Besides, no matter what you do now, it's useless to say anything, and staying on my side is also making trouble, please leave, I'm afraid I'll be angry when I see you every day! I'm really busy right now, I don't want to see you! ”

Wang Cui'e raised her eyes sharply and looked at Chu Yue in front of her, but her eyes were slightly stained with tears, she pursed her lips and slowly knelt down at Chu Yue and said, "I know that the second miss doesn't want to see me, but if the second miss needs me, ......"

"Let's go!" Chu Yue said coldly, "And I'm no longer the second lady of the Chu family now, you should stay away from me!" ”

Wang Cui'e knew that she would really be shameless if she stayed by Miss Chu Er's side any longer, but she didn't expect that her original move would actually harm so many people, Rao is that she can't say that it is harmful in her life, even those cats and dogs in Zhuangzi can't bear to hurt her, where did she think that she would eventually become such a sinful person as she is now.

She had mustered up the courage to sneak out of the Prime Minister's Mansion before, and she just wanted to stay by Chu Yue's side to forgive her sins, or what she could do to help, but now she had to slowly retreat, and that cold and beautiful woman still hated her.

After Wang Cui'e left, Chu Yue was really tired, like a bow that was almost full, and at the end of the strong crossbow, she was really afraid that she would accidentally break it.

Seeing that Chu Yue's face was a little ugly, Jade Wing hurriedly said: "Master, why don't you rest for a while, I and the red note are guarding the matter of the spirit, and it is not a way for the master to go on like this!" ”

Chu Yue's heart is now extremely chaotic, although he is sleepy, he can't sleep at all, he can't sleep but he is uncomfortable, he was about to say something but he didn't want to hear footsteps behind him again.

Before Junzi could say anything, the man had already walked past him and walked in front of Chu Yue step by step.
