After a sleepless night, Su Yunyao had a terrible headache, but now it is no worse than the pain in her heart.

She pinched a plain silver flower hairpin and inserted it into her bun, but she didn't wear it, and her earrings only had two pearl pendants.

Su Fu lost a child, and he shouldn't be dressed too flamboyantly, but overnight, Su Yunyao lost not only a maid who has been by her side since she was a child, but also her younger brother.

Chang Xizhai is still messing around, and the old lady's body looks tough on weekdays, but in fact, she just has a good face, and a slight illness is a serious illness.

And Tian Ningxuan's side is even more chaotic, the fourth lady has to hover between life and death all the time, she naturally can't go there to add chaos.

After thinking about it, Su Yunyao picked up the colorless lipstick and gently applied it to her lips with her index finger, so that the chapped lips finally had a trace of moisture after a night.

"Lisheng, accompany me to Yu Hongyuan."

God seems to know that last night was not good at home, and today can be regarded as a backdrop, not only cloudy, but also a little cold wind.

Yu Hongyuan is near Chang Xi Zhai, and as soon as you enter the door, you can feel that it is a house of books, with brushes and inkstones, ink ingots and several plain paper booklets on the table.

Su Yao was lying on the chair at the moment, his head was gently hung in a fist with one hand, his eyes slightly closed, and he looked tired.

It can be seen that he also didn't sleep all night.

"Daddy." Su Yunyao asked Lisheng to stay outside the door, and carried the food box into the door by herself.

Su Yao opened his eyes and looked at her, closed his eyes again, and the force in his hand was lighter, but he didn't stop, "Why are you here?" ”

Su Yunyao approached, took out the dishes in the food box, and put them on the table, "Last night's murder should have made Daddy not rest well, if you don't eat something now, your body will not be able to stand it." ”

Su Yao smiled, put his arm down, and sat down looking at the food on the table.

Rice porridge with clear soup and little water, two refreshing pickles, a small plate of bean paste rolls and a plate of almond tofu.

Looking at the food taken out of the food box one by one, Su Yao's eyes were a little difficult to figure out when he looked at his daughter.

It's just a child who hasn't reached the end of his life, but he didn't expect to do things very well. It stands to reason that a dead person should not be too extravagant, he should be restrained in eating and dressing, and he has not slept all night, and he will eat big fish and meat early in the morning, which will inevitably be nauseous and unpalatable.

Su Yao nodded with satisfaction and took the chopsticks handed by Su Yunyao.

"Last night, it was the maid named Lixi next to you who protected the fourth lady, I know, I have arranged for someone to bury her, and gave her family some silver money to make gold, if there is no her, let alone the child of the fourth lady, even her life will not be saved."

It seems that my father knew.

Su Yunyao sat opposite Su Yao, put some tofu on his plate, and said in a choked voice, "There is something that my daughter didn't tell her father, because it will inevitably make her father sad, but if you don't say it, won't it encourage that person's bad intentions?" ”

"What's the matter?" Su Yao was a little confused, "Whose bad intentions did you promote?" ”

"Last night, when my daughter saw Li Xi and the four ladies, Li Xi told me that the villain was going to the child of the fourth lady, daddy, think about it, our family property has not been lost at all, what is the villain here for? Why hurt? ”

Su Yao's chopsticks stopped in mid-air, and after a while, he withdrew his hand, "What do you mean, there are thieves who have passed through those gangsters?" ”

"It's just my daughter's humble opinion." Su Yunyao's eyes were red and swollen, and her voice was hoarse, which made people feel distressed when they looked at it, "My daughter just thought, if my father doesn't find out this time, this kind of thing will only be more and not less in the future, then the thief has tasted the sweetness, and he will not stop, my younger brother is already stillborn, this kind of thing is simply terrible!" Moreover, our Su family has a big business and so many dependents, isn't it because the thief will disturb the inner court? I'm afraid that the family will not be peaceful in the future. ”

"That's what you said." Su Yao took a sip of porridge, "I have already reported this matter to the official, it is their business to check the people outside, and as for the affairs in the house, it is time to check it." ”

Su Yunyao nodded, and got up with a little hesitation, "Daddy, let's rest for a while after breakfast, if you don't rest well at night, you will inevitably get dizzy, and your daughter will go down." ”

Su Yao raised his hand and motioned for her to go out.

Although this conversation went well, Su Yunyao knew in her heart that her father was a person with a louder official reputation than anything else, if there was a thief in the house, even if he found out, he would not punish him wantonly, after all, it was a matter of face.

Unless... Su Yunyao looked up at the sky that was blocked by the clouds, and felt that she could only pin her hope on the people outside, as long as they caught the villain, they didn't worry that they wouldn't confess the thief, even if her father deliberately covered it up, she would be powerless.

But it's that easy to catch someone? They were dressed in black and turned into the house with their faces covered, even Qingsi and the four ladies didn't see their looks, as long as they found a hidden place to change into their night clothes after going out over the wall, and then put on the clothes of ordinary people, and hid in the crowd, then no one would find them.

Su Yunyao understands that avenging Li Xi is as difficult as ascending to the sky.

Lisheng whispered on the side, "The eldest lady has woken up for a while, can the girl go and see?" ”

"Let's go to Su Ning Yuan."

Qin Manhuai only felt dizzy when he got up in the morning, and was about to get up and make up after drinking a bowl of calming medicine, but was stopped by Su Yunyao.

"Mother, you haven't slept all night, you finally rested for a while, why did you get up so quickly?"

Qin Manhuai sighed, "This sick family, scared and scared, who else can carry this mess?" ”

"Mother don't worry, you just sleep, what's the matter your daughter will help you keep an eye on it."

"How's that going to work?" Qin Manhuai ignored her and turned around to ask Qiu Yue to change her clothes.

"What's not to do?" Su Yunyao said seriously, "My daughter's maid has been with her daughter for so many years, and her daughter should seek justice for her, since the thief in the house is well hidden, then the daughter is looking for clues, the time is long, there will always be a day to avenge her, mother, you are the lady of the main room, naturally you have to work with your husband with one heart and one mind, even if you catch the thief, what can you do?" It's just that he obeyed his father and suppressed the matter. ”

"What nonsense is this kid talking about?" Qin Manhuai reprimanded.

She also knew that there were thieves in the mansion, otherwise what were the two of them doing when they entered the mansion? Is it as simple as hurting people?

But she didn't want her daughter to get involved, not only because she was an enemy of the thief, but also against her husband.

"Mother, my daughter is older, I know how to protect myself, and I know that it's time to share your worries, you just have to rest, there is nothing to do in the house at the moment, and when the fourth lady is out of danger, my daughter will come and tell my mother, okay?"

"No, no, no." Qin Manhuai couldn't rest assured, "You are a girl who has not yet started a family, and you have no reputation when you spread it?" Hurry back to Qinzhuxuan to rest, see that your eyes are boiled, your throat is dumb, Qiuxia, go to the kitchen and bring a bowl of pear juice to moisten Yun'er's throat. ”

Su Yunyao couldn't help her mother, so she had to go back to Qinzhuxuan.

Su Moyao woke up for a long time, her voice was hoarse and she couldn't speak, Su Yunyao gave her the pear juice in her hand to drink, Su Qianyao woke up a little late, she has always been in bad health, she was frightened again last night, and the nightmare was serious, and the maids who hurt her carefully guarded her, for fear that something would be wrong.

"It's really pitiful." Su Qianyao looked at the breakfast on the table and only felt tasteless, and her heart was empty, "And our younger brother who hasn't even seen each other, I'm afraid that the fourth lady will be sad." ”

"What can we do to make up for the departed, but the living are different." Su Yunyao put down the porridge bowl in her hand, "The twelfth sister has always been in bad health, and now that the fourth lady's life hangs by a thread, I am afraid that she will also be poisoned." ”

"Hanging by a thread?" Su Moyao was startled, and although her throat was swollen and painful, she asked, "Didn't you say that the child was born last night?" ”

"It's true that she was born, but the fourth lady woke up for a while at night, and when she learned the news that the child didn't survive, she fainted again, and pulled the wound on her shoulder. Su Yunyao told her two sisters the news that Lisheng inquired about in the morning.

Su Qianyao nodded in agreement, "The twelfth sister is indeed not safe, why don't you take her to Qinzhuxuan?" ”

The other two agreed.

The vine leaves beside the fifth girl and the willow buds around the tenth girl went together, and Su Wanyao, who was in a very bad state, couldn't stop trembling, and the eyes that looked at everyone seemed to be aggressive.

She was not like this in the past, which shows that she was very scared.

In the stillbirth of her younger brother, her mother suffered another knife wound, where did she experience this at a young age? I'm afraid it won't be able to slow down for a while.

Last night, Qin Manhuai wanted to take Su Wanyao to Su Ning Yuan, but she didn't want to, she only wanted to protect her mother. When she came, she asked the doctor, and the doctor said that Liu He's life was saved, and she heard this as if she couldn't hold it anymore, and collapsed in Ye Zi's arms, so she came to Qinzhuxuan.

Lisheng took a small bowl of porridge and handed it to her, she drank half a bowl, and the rest couldn't be drunk no matter how much her sisters persuaded her.

Because of her poor health, she only eats a little on weekdays, not to mention that she has no appetite at the moment, and it is normal for her to eat.

Su Yunyao asked Lisheng to go down and put her hand on her shoulder, she could feel her tremble for a while, and then she calmed down.

"Don't worry, the fourth lady is fine." Su Yunyao patiently tucked the broken hair on her sideburns for her, and said in a low voice, "There are sisters to protect you, and the eldest lady and father are in charge of you, don't be afraid, it will be fine." ”

Su Wanyao raised her head to look at her, lowered her head and buried it between her two arms, and didn't speak for a while, only the sound of sobbing from time to time.

A great sense of loss and fear of remorse may be something that people must experience when they grow up, but Su Yunyao is unwilling to let this kind of thing teach Su Wanyao to be strong, and she may not know the feeling of losing her relatives, but after a few years, she has already regarded Li Xi as a sister, so why not lose her relatives?
