When Xiao Yue came to tap the door of the courtyard, Wei Che happened to go out. Ye Ruo was pulled out of the yard by Xiao Yue in a hurry, she trotted with a puzzled face, and Xiao Yue, who was running in front of her, panted as she ran, telling her the news.

"Fifth Miss, Madam... Madame fell overboard, as if she was dying, and she said she wanted to see you. ”

Ye Ruo was slightly startled, her brows furrowed, and she couldn't help asking, "How did you fall into the water and tell me all the things that happened when I was away." ”

On the way, Xiaoyue told Ye Ruo everything that happened, focusing on the fact that Mrs. jumped into the lake after the master was taken away and Secretary Zhou died, and said that Mrs. and the master were really in love, and she also babbled and asked Ye Ruoduo to comfort and comfort Mrs.

Ye Ruo couldn't help but smile sarcastically, this is for Lu Sichang, it is obviously because of Zhou Li, who is grief-stricken and desperate for death for the death of Zhuma, and in the eyes of outsiders, it has become a deep love for the couple, which is really ironic.

When the two of them stood at the door, they found that the other wives and young ladies in the courtyard had been standing outside the door for a long time, and it seemed that they also knew the news that Shen Xiuzhi was dead.

As soon as Lu Fengqing saw her, she showed a very faint smile, and her mother-in-law Cheng Meifeng also bowed slightly, her face was full of uneasiness and fright, obviously she hadn't recovered from the fright just now. Pei Die hugged Aze and wiped his face, without giving Ye Ruo a trace of his eyes, Ye Ruo didn't care, they had already torn their faces, and there was no need to talk about the past.

"Fifth Miss, you can count it, Madame must see you, she said that she can't swallow her last breath if she doesn't see you." Xiaocui, a dowry girl who has been with Shen Xiuzhi for decades, is now in her thirties, but she has not yet married. When Shen Xiuzhi went crazy just now, she was going outside to buy spring clothes, but she didn't expect that when she came back, her wife was no longer good.

Xiao Cui looked at Ye Ruo with complexity, it was very clear that Madam and Miss hated this Fifth Miss, but she didn't expect that when she was dying, the last person Madam wanted to see was actually her.

She opened the door and watched Ye Ruo slowly walk in, sighing in her heart.

Ye Ruo didn't know what Shen Xiuzhi could explain to her, or when she was dying, she knew that her relationship with Shen Xiuzhi was not good, both sides were disgusted with each other, and it was already a miracle to be able to live under this roof together.

There was a pink gauze curtain hanging in front of the bed, like a girl's bedroom, Ye Ruo gently opened the gauze curtain and saw Shen Xiuzhi lying lifeless on the bed. She looked at the top of the bed fixedly, she didn't know what she was thinking, she was very focused, so focused that Ye Ruo couldn't help but look at it with her sight, it was just a carved phoenix picture, what was there to look at?

"You're here." Shen Xiuzhi suddenly spoke coldly, startling Ye Ruo.

But she still nodded, found a chair and sat down, her tone was not indifferent, after all, she was already a person with half her body in the loess, and she didn't need to fight again.

"What do you have to say to me, I don't think I have much friendship with you."

Shen Xiuzhi was not angry, but chuckled, if she was usually high-flying and domineering, she would have sneered at Ye Ruo a long time ago.

"Don't worry, I hate you as much as I do, just as you hate me." Shen Xiuzhi turned her head lightly, and looked at Ye Ruo fixedly, when the little girl grew up, time was really wasted, "I want to make an exchange with you." ”

"Exchange what? I don't seem to have anything to exchange with you. Ye Ruo raised her eyebrows, and her eyes were full of doubts, did she have anything that Shen Xiuzhi could want?

Shen Xiuzhi sat up slowly, she panted and took out a folded note from under her pillow, and handed it to Ye Ruo with a trembling voice.

"What is this?"

Ye Ruo took it suspiciously, and opened it under the signal of Shen Xiuzhi's eyes, and what caught her eyes were five big characters, which pierced her nerves.

"Lu Ze runs tonight."

Ye Ruo looked up at Shen Xiuzhi suddenly, pinching the note excitedly, his voice trembling a little because of anger and excitement: "Where did it come from, what kind of note is this!" ”

Shen Xiuzhi looked at her faintly, and her bloodless lips lightly raised: "If you promise me one condition, I will tell you." ”

"I promise."

Shen Xiuzhi smiled lightly: "Don't agree so quickly, you haven't listened to me yet." ”

Ye Ruo slowed down for a moment, and her mind slowly calmed down, yes, she didn't know what Shen Xiuzhi's conditions were, and if it was a requirement for her to die together, it would be useless for her to know the secret of this note. She calmed down excitedly, and said calmly: "What conditions." ”

Shen Xiuzhi's body leaned forward slightly, and she looked at Ye Ruo's eyes seriously.

"I want you to promise me to let Qianqian live."

"You can use her for any of your purposes, and you can even make her your retinue, if you don't mind if she's an idiot. I just hope that she can live, she is a child now, please protect her instead of me. ”

Ye Ruo's eyes turned cold, she looked fixedly at the pleading that never appeared on Shen Xiuzhi's face, and spoke coldly.

"Why are you looking for me, you know that I hate you."

Shen Xiuzhi was so persistent that she half leaned over, her eyes, which had lost their brightness, were still looking at Ye Ruo persistently, waiting for her to nod.

"Because it's only you, only you are the most real in this family, and no one else deserves it."

"Where's Emerald."

"She can be freed after I die, I don't want to bind her anymore, she has been with me for almost half her life, I want her to live her life in peace."

Xu is a dying person, and his words are also good, at this moment, Ye Ruo felt that Shen Xiuzhi was very pitiful, this was a mother's pleading.

She clutched the note in her hand, tightened it slightly, and finally nodded, looking at Shen Xiuzhi's eyes seriously: "I promise you." ”

In an instant, Shen Xiuzhi seemed to have fulfilled her long-cherished wish, she fell on the bed without strength, and looked straight at the top of the bed.

"This note was found in the master's study five years ago, I thought it could be used as a bargaining chip for the upper position, but I didn't expect to become the housewife effortlessly, and this note was also sealed by me."

"I'm pretty sure, the old man only went to catch Pei Die in the middle of the night when he saw this note, and he wanted to keep Lu Ze."

Ye Ruo listened quietly, her eyes were a storm of hatred, and she wanted to tear that informant apart.

"Who wrote it?" At the beginning, even she didn't know anything about her brother, and when she saw Lu Sichang rushing out with the servants, she was curious and instigated to follow, who could know her brother's plans and intentions.

Shen Xiuzhi shook her head, she was so weak that she couldn't say a complete word, she seemed to know that she was about to leave, and showed a relieved smile.

"Ye Ruo, if you were my daughter, I would still like you. After I die, I want to beg you to bury me and Zhou Li together, although I know it's delusional..."

Ye Ruo looked at Shen Xiuzhi muttering like a nightmare, and quietly did not interrupt her.

"Be careful of Lu Fengqing and Pei Die, these two women I always knew they were not simple. That man in your yard isn't your entourage, he's your look-alike, right? How can such a handsome man be a subordinate, if you like him, you have to work hard to persevere, don't give up for various reasons, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life. ”

Shen Xiuzhi's voice became softer and softer, and in the end, her voice was as thin as a mosquito. Her eyes closed slowly, and she couldn't open them until the end.

The heavy breathing stopped, and the room was so quiet that you could hear a pin dropping it.

Ye Ruo stepped forward slowly, pinched the note in the palm of her hand, the quilt covered her head, and a tear fell from the corner of her eye, but it was only that.

You go to see Zhou Li, may you be safe and happy in your next life, and you will be happy with each other.

Let's go, Mrs. Zhou.
