Early in the morning, Ji Yunyi was called to the palace.

The tortoiseshell came in to change the dressing for Gui Mingyue's hand.

When Gui Mingyue saw the tortoiseshell, she remembered and said, "I asked you to go and show the fifth and seventh aunts last night, how is it?" ”

The tortoiseshell snorted, patted her head and said, the slave forgot about it.

Gui Mingyue's hand was burned last night, and the tortoiseshell only thought about making her scalding ointment.

"Then let's go and see, don't delay." These two aunts are not very old, and they have rarely been sick, so it is not a big problem to come this time, and it must be delayed to stay in bed all the time, Gui Mingyue said again: "Bring more nourishing medicinal herbs." ”

"Yes, Grandma."

The tortoiseshell went back and packed up the medicine box and walked out.

I met Ning Xiang who hurriedly entered the door.

"Oh, why are you in such a hurry?" This temperament is very similar to Sister Qian'er, and she is worthy of being a little maid working under Jin Qi'er.

"Grandma Da Shao, Sister Qi'er, there is an accident in the house," Ning Xiang originally shouted loudly, but then after thinking about it, she lowered her voice again, and said mysteriously and nervously: "Fifth Aunt and Seventh Aunt, go." ”

"What?" Gui Mingyue was shocked and stood up from the chair: "Go?" How could it be ......"

"Is the news serious?" Jin Qi'er hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Ning Xiang's arm and said.

Ning Xiang nodded vigorously.

"I heard I went there last night." Early this morning, it was swept up with grass and pulled out and buried.

Gui Mingyue still couldn't believe it, and muttered: "Impossible, even if the two aunts go, why is there no movement in the entire mansion." ”

"Grandma, you are naïve," the sixth aunt who spoke was holding her stomach and looking tired, and said self-deprecatingly as she entered the house: "It's just two unfavored aunts, and in this house, the most important thing is the aunt." ”

"Blame me," Gui Mingyue sat down dejectedly and said, "I was careless, thinking that the left and right were not a serious illness, so I didn't pay attention to it." ”

"Grandma, it's the slave who forgets things, if you want to punish me, don't blame yourself anymore." The tortoiseshell wiped a handful of tears and said, these two lives are gone, how can she not blame herself.

"Hey, don't blame yourself, it's not your fault, it's ......" The sixth aunt looked at the private, stopped talking, and her face became more and more pale.

Gui Mingyue knew what she meant, and immediately ordered a few maids to guard the door, but she helped the sixth aunt into the inner room.

"Sixth Aunt has something to say?" Gui Mingyue opened her mouth and asked, "Is it related to those two aunts?" ”

The sixth aunt wrung the handkerchief in her hand, tears flowed out, and she choked up and said, "I don't know either, but they definitely didn't die of illness!" Someone killed them......"

Gui Mingyue's heart froze, she clenched the sixth aunt's words tightly, and asked, "Speak slowly, don't worry, why did the sixth aunt say that they didn't die of illness?" ”

The sixth aunt nodded, wiped away her tears, and hated the scene she had not seen this morning.

These two aunts lived in a courtyard, and because they were not favored, the courtyard was in a remote place.

Although the sixth aunt does not deal with the fifth aunt who loves to be greedy and cheap, she has a good relationship with the gentle and taciturn seventh aunt, and the sixth aunt sometimes goes to their yard to sit down. And the sixth aunt rarely went after she became pregnant, and after the two of her were sick, the grandmother next to the sixth aunt reminded her to go less, for fear of being too sick to herself.

Early this morning, the sixth aunt suddenly couldn't sleep, and she had a bad premonition in her heart, so she hurried to the courtyard. As a result, I was looking at several small maids in the outer courtyard who were hurriedly cleaning up the corpses of the fifth and seventh aunts.

The little girls told the sixth aunt that the two aunts suddenly fell ill last night and went together.

The seventh aunt's has already been swept away by a roll of broken grass, and the fifth aunt's over there has indeed exposed half of her body.

Holding back the fear in her heart, the sixth aunt stepped forward to take a look.

With just that glance, the sixth aunt was suspicious.

Because she saw that the fifth aunt's exposed arm was actually black and green, as if she had been poisoned!

The little maid on the side also immediately showed a lot of panic, and when the sixth aunt wanted to take a closer look in the near future, he stepped forward and wrapped him.

The sixth aunt returned to the courtyard in despair, and the more she thought about it, the more scared she became, and she didn't dare to stay in the courtyard.

At the moment, if there is still a clean land in this Hou Mansion, there is only the West Courtyard, so she came to the West Courtyard in three steps and two steps.

After listening to Gui Mingyue, she was silent.

I don't know what I'm thinking.

The sixth aunt walked around the house.

"I'll go to Master Hou, maybe he will remember that the fifth and seventh aunts once served him......" The sixth aunt said and walked out again.

Gui Mingyue grabbed her.

"You have a body, don't run around anymore, you also said, the most important thing in this house is the aunt, do you think the Hou Ye will take care of it?"

"How's that to be?" The sixth aunt muttered in despair.

"At the moment, we only know that they were killed, but we don't have any clue who poisoned them. Some things can only be checked slowly. Gui Mingyue looked at the sixth aunt who was pregnant, and sighed: "What you have to do now is to keep the child in your womb." ”

Although Gui Mingyue didn't want to think like that, but in such a place, my aunt had her own children, so she could be regarded as having a magic weapon to settle down.

Like the fifth aunt and the seventh aunt, even if they have a charming appearance when they are young, they will grow old one day, and the marquis, who is always in the arms of the concubine and the newcomer, will one day forget the old man completely.

In the end, Gui Mingyue instructed the tortoiseshell to prescribe a prescription for the sixth aunt to calm the mind and raise the baby, and instructed her not to tell the story of this morning for the sake of her own life.

Then the two went to the main courtyard together and greeted the eldest lady.

The two of you are better, and you are both late together. The eldest lady snorted coldly and sarcastically, seeing the two who were late, her eyes were slightly cold when she saw the sixth aunt, and the sixth aunt couldn't help but shudder.

Gui Mingyue shook the palm of her hand that was in a cold sweat.

"The eldest lady atonements, it's all to blame on the daughter-in-law, when I had dinner last night, I burned my hands, and the medicine was delayed early this morning." Gui Mingyue said.

"Oh? Burning your hands, I heard that the girls below you are first-class loyal protectors, how could they let the master burn their hands, it seems that the rumors are not credible, it is better for me to choose ......" Mrs. Ji said with a flash of light.

"This, blame the daughter-in-law, I made the eldest young master unhappy for no reason last night, and the eldest young master didn't notice it for a while, so it burned the back of the daughter-in-law's hand." Gui Mingyue hurriedly interrupted her words.

If you want to stuff people around me again, no way!

At the moment, he can only use Ji Yunyi as a shield.

Oh, it turned out that I was burned by the moody young master, and several aunts present, including Mrs. Ji, couldn't help but show a look of watching a show on their faces.

This will end up in a few days, and it is also appropriate, after all, the nature of the eldest young master is difficult to change.

"Grandma hurt her hand, sit down." It was the fourth aunt who spoke, and there was a look of schadenfreude in her eyes. The third aunt next to her was a little concerned and worried, and pulled Gui Mingyue to sit down together.

"The eldest young grandmother is late, and your hands are burned, what are you burning again?" Mrs. Ji said politely.

The sixth aunt stepped forward and replied, "The concubine felt a little heavy this morning, so she went to find the tortoiseshell girl next to the eldest young grandmother and showed her...... It's late to even involve the eldest and youngest grandmothers, so please punish the eldest lady. ”

"I don't dare to punish you, now you are a noble person in this mansion," the eldest lady continued with a smile: "Dare to ask the sixth sister who only went to the eldest young grandmother this morning?" How did I hear that you went to another place before dawn? ”

When the sixth aunt heard this, she only felt that the flesh and blood in her body were not her own, and her body shook so much that Gui Mingyue hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

It's her! It was the fifth and seventh aunts who were poisoned to death by the eldest lady.

Even if there is no evidence, and she has not seen it with her own eyes, but from what the eldest lady said, and the cruel eyes she looked at herself, the sixth aunt guessed that she was the murderer.

"Say it." The eldest lady pressed forward step by step.

The sixth aunt was covered in cold sweat, but fortunately, Gui Mingyue, who was caressing her, pinched her palm hard, and quickly wrote a few words in her palm.

"Yes...... The concubine was in front of the west courtyard and went...... I went to the courtyard of the fifth aunt and their ......," the sixth aunt said tremblingly.

Mrs. Ji's face was a little hideous, but her voice was slow and slow: "Oh? I don't know what the sixth aunt saw in the yard? ”

The sixth aunt swallowed her saliva and said: "At that time, the sky was not yet bright, and the body was inconvenient, so the concubine didn't see it clearly, but she only knew that the two aunts were and went to ......."

Mrs. Ji was obviously relieved, and then looked at her suspiciously for a long time.

The sixth aunt's face was natural, but in fact, her whole body was already cold, if it wasn't for Gui Mingyue's caressing, it seemed that she would faint to the ground next.

It wasn't until the sixth aunt was about to lose her breath that the eldest lady's gaze was retracted.

"The fifth aunt and the seventh aunt went last night, and the sisters don't know yet." Mrs. Ji turned her head to the other aunts who were already stunned and said, "Because I went with a bad disease, I didn't disturb everyone, but the courtyard of the third child is the closest to them, and Su Rili is closer to them, so I should have heard the movement." ”

The third aunt, who had been bleak and silent since she came this morning, slowly stood up at this time, and said: "It's all because the concubine has not been in good health these days, and she hasn't been to the courtyard of the fifth sister and the seventh sister for a long time. ”

There was grief in his voice, his eyes were full of tears, and his already thin body was even more shaky, and several aunts couldn't help but shed tears together.

There was a burst of sobbing in the hall, and the eldest lady also wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and sighed for a long time.

When Ji Yunyi came back at noon, Gui Mingyue told him about it.

"I always feel that the third aunt knows about this."

Although the third aunt couldn't see the clue from what she said or her sad eyes, Gui Mingyue had a strange feeling.
