The weather is getting warmer, and there is no more snow, and the snow on the eaves melts and melts down, so you have to pay attention to your head before you go out.

The grass and trees on the street seem to have life again, and when the snow melts, the sun shines exceptionally well, and the thin cloak is only worn in the morning and evening, and only in cold weather will it be worn all day.

Su Yingxiao is still grounded in the family ancestral hall, and is personally watched by Qiu Li every day kneeling on the futon to copy scriptures and pray sincerely, but he doesn't like to go to school and study, and he didn't learn half of the ones that Mr. taught at the beginning, so that the handwriting is crooked, and even Qiu Li, a slave writer, is easier to recognize than him.

The hand-copied scriptures were sent to Chang Xizhai, and the old lady frowned at the word and couldn't recognize it for a long time, and said that grabbing an insect on the ground and dipping it in ink on its paws were more pleasing to the eye than Su Yingxiao's words.

"Asking him to copy the scriptures is to calm him down, but if you look at what he wrote, isn't this just an errand? Just burning this sutra to the Buddha is afraid that it will provoke the Buddha's anger. The old lady half-jokingly said.

"Mother, don't blame, that child is not a weapon, it is indeed a shame to be able to write such words, or go back and let him copy two more sheets a day, the right is to practice calligraphy, one is to calm down, and the other is that he dares to poison the eldest lady, just those punishments for the son feel that it is not enough."

The old lady nodded, "It's already a punishment to let him freeze in the ancestral hall for three or nine days, it's not good to freeze people to death directly, now I'm satisfied with copying the scriptures, and you can do the rest." ”

"Got it, Mother."

Su Yao walked out from the door, and Qinglian covered the water dripping from the eaves for him.

The old lady is getting older and her body is becoming less and less tough, according to her own words, the old man celebrates the New Year, and the year is less than a year, so Mama Zhou is worried that she will be affected by the wind and cold, and it is not easy to treat the disease in this weather, so she did not arrange for someone to go to the thick door curtain.

In Yu Hongyuan, Su Yao tasted the pastries made by Liu He and talked to Su Wanyao.

"Is your mother's health better? I've been raising it for a few years, but it's rare to eat a bite of the food she made. ”

"Thanks to the third lady, she has been carefully cared for, and the eldest lady often takes care of her mother, and her grandmother also shelters her daughter and mother in Changxi Zhai, otherwise I am afraid that my mother will not be raised so quickly."

Su Yao took the dim sum and motioned to Su Wanyao to taste it too, "Your mother's craftsmanship is very good, when she first entered our Su family, she made this for me and your grandmother every day, and then the Cao family couldn't see it, so she lied to me and said that she had another reason, and I also believed in the Cao family at that time." ”

Speaking of this, Su Yao sighed.

"It's all over, and my father doesn't have to blame himself."

"The eldest lady has a good nature, but at least she has the protection of her mother's family, the third lady is a straightforward character, she has always fought with the Cao family, and she is not scared at all, your mother has no one to shelter and take care of, she has been bullied by the Cao family for so many years, and now I regret it when I think about it, alas."

A heavy sigh seemed to change the taste of the pastries.

Out of Yu Hongyuan, Su Wanyao felt a little cold, the sun was about to set, and it was getting dark, no wonder...

"Mother Liu, you are an old man who serves my mother, did she have any festivals with the Cao family before?"

Mother Liu smiled, knowing that there were some things that should not be said to Su Wanyao, but after all, people asked, as a slave, can you still deliberately conceal and deceive?

"The girl doesn't know, the problem of your lack of in this womb is to sit down in the mother's womb, at that time, the fourth lady was bullied by the second lady, and she couldn't eat anything when she was pregnant with you, the eldest lady was worried, and sent people to Tianningxuan every day to send tonic medicine and food, but Cao's said that she wanted to nourish her body, and stopped all those foods back to her Yingxia residence, this is still a trivial matter, before she was pregnant with you, our lady also washed the feet of the second lady."

Su Wanyao paused, stopped as if she was about to say something, but after all, she didn't say anything, shook her head slightly and left.

There are a lot of people who are to blame for this matter, Cao Qianlian is to blame, Su Yao is to blame, the maids who take care of Liu He and Liu's mother are to blame, and Liu He is also to blame.

I have a big belly, even if I can't deliver food to me, then I won't go out and ask for it? The maid should knock on Yu Hongyuan's door and tell Su Yao that Ning Xuan can't even afford to eat.

And Liu He has been cowardly for so many years, Su Wanyao knows that her mother was even more cowardly to the dust before giving birth to her.

But after so many years, who can really blame it? At this time, Su Wanyao only hoped that Liu He would be safe and sound, and after she and Bai Chusui got married, she could make Liu He's waist a little harder.

At the same time, one thing Su Wanyao thought about day and night was to make Cao Qian die a good death.

In the stillbirth of her younger brother, she hadn't even seen what it was like outside, and Su Wanyao remembered that her mother was not in good health, but she was hit by a knife and fell into the water and almost died, all of which was done by Cao Qianlian.

After the ups and downs of the Cao family, Su Yunyao and the magpie got in touch, and the magpie sneaked out to see Su Yunyao in the evening.

"If you have anything to say, Eleven girl, you just say it."

Su Yunyao didn't speak, her hand reached into her sleeve and took out a letter, and handed the letter to the magpie.

"This is someone else who gave it to our girl, you look carefully." Lisheng said.

The magpie opened the letter for some reason, first with joy, then with shock, and in the end, her sadness Su Yunyao seemed to be able to feel it, her hands were trembling, but her face quickly regained its composure.

"Sure enough, he died..."

"You guessed it?" Su Yunyao asked.

"The second lady has always told the slave and the maid the news of Xinglang, and told the slave and the maid that Xinglang is doing well outside, and the slave and the maid guessed at that time, if it was good, the second lady would have arranged for the two of us to meet."

As he spoke, a tear trailed his calm cheeks.

The magpie raised his hand to wipe away the tears, but the other eye slipped a tear, and he couldn't wipe it clean, until finally the magpie squatted on the ground, covered his face with his hands, and almost fainted from crying.

From beginning to end, Su Yunyao watched from the side, didn't speak or move, just told Lisheng to pick up the cloak and put it on for the magpie.

"The Cao family wanted to marry you to the head of the snake before, or rather, wanted you to use your body to serve those who did things for her, right?" Su Yunyao sat on the stone slowly, there was no sound of insects around, quietly.

After a while, the magpie nodded, but did not say a word.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Su Yunyao continued, "Later, when she found out that you and Xinglang were in love, she had a plan to use Xinglang's life to blackmail you to keep a secret for her and escape my father's torture, right?" ”

"The reason why the second lady didn't send the slave and maid to the evil ghost cave is because the slave and the maid know too much, rather than she can't control it, it is better to watch it from time to time, she knows how important Xinglang is to the slave and the maid, and the slave and the maid have full authority to resist the torture of the lord, so that the lord will trust her."

Su Yunyao nodded knowingly, "I've guessed this, after the seventh sister entered the Hengwang Mansion, her maids Xiaodie and Xiaohui didn't go with her, but stayed in Yingxia Residence, what happened to them?" ”

"Xiaohui was sent once, the torture was not good, when she came back, the slave maid just looked at it and cried, at that time Xiaohui also had the idea of suicide, and then she got used to it, every time the second lady sent her out, she no longer refused, because as long as she refused, she would be beaten violently, and now the snake's head has been purified, and she can finally live like a person. As for Fluttershy, the eldest lady arranges a family affair for her on a whim to help her get out of the second lady's control, and the second lady can't resist it, and Fluttershy is lucky. ”

"It's not that Fluttershy is lucky, it's just that she's smart." Su Yunyao looked at the magpie seriously, "I asked my mother to arrange for Fluttershy's family affair for her, otherwise Fluttershy and Xiaohui would have ended up now." ”

The magpie looked at Su Yunyao with wide eyes, a little surprised, and finally smiled bitterly twice.

"Eleven girls have great skills and protect Fluttershy, but they can't protect Xiaohui and the slave Xinglang..."

"Right now, I only ask you, do you want to join me to avenge your Xinglang?"

She looked at Su Yunyao again.

"Although your Xinglang committed suicide, but he died very unwillingly, I don't dare to guess what kind of treatment he experienced before he died, you can see from that letter, the only thing he feels indebted to is you, I hope you don't do bad things to protect him, and now you are still obsessed? The Cao family has no backer, and she can't live long. ”

"Slave... Is it possible to avenge Xinglang? The magpie's tone was trembling.

"Absolutely." Su Yunyao held out her hand to her, "What I promised Fluttershy was to protect her and arrange a good family affair for her, I did it, I promised you, I can do it, in fact, I don't need to win you over at all, after all, Chang Zhuoxing has nothing to do with me, but Fluttershy doesn't know as much as you, you have served the Cao family the longest." ”

"In fact, the slave and maid don't know much, and the second lady guards against the slave and maid in many things."

"Okay, then I'll ask, and you can answer it. Fluttershy says that before her big brother gets married, there will always be a man in and out of Yingxia House, and every time he comes in the middle of the night, sneaky, no one has ever seen his face, do you know this? ”

The magpie nodded, "The slave knows that the person is Chen Liao, an old acquaintance of the second lady, and she usually does all the harmful things through Chen Liao." ”

"In those years before, you and Du Juan often shipped silver money and jewelry out in the middle of the night, but they were all given to Chen Liao?"

"Yes, the money was given to Chen Liao's subordinates, and only when they gave the money did they agree to do things for the second lady."

"Then Chen Liao can spend the night in Yingxia Residence?" Su Yunyao asked again.

The question was very sensitive, and the magpie was stunned for a moment, but still answered.

"He lived in Yingxia a few times, the slave maid didn't see it with his own eyes, two times he heard from the cuckoo, and one time he met Chen Liao in the second half of the night when he came out of Yingxiaju."
