Chapter 177: The Return of the Dead

Running all the way, Qu Youying finally returned to Xiangling Town ten days later and returned to Qu's house.

After saying goodbye to Mu Jingzhu at the door, she went back to her yard.

Xiaoshu was very happy to see his master who had been away for a long time coming back, but he was good at observing words and feelings, and knew that Qu Youying was very tired, so he asked someone to prepare hot water.

After Yun Shu waited for Qu Youying to rest after bathing, Xiaoshu asked Yun Shu about what had happened during this time.

"There are too many things that have happened, and I don't know much about some things, Miss has something to hide in her heart and don't say it, so the mood is good and bad along the way, these days, tell the people in the yard to pay attention to it, don't do anything that affects Miss's mood."

Xiaoshu nodded, "I see." What about the Purple Pavilion? ”

Qianxi pretended to be Shui Junyu and followed Jiang Tong away, but Yun Shu didn't tell Xiaoshu about this, only said that Qianxi and Xie Xiaoer would not come back in a short time.

But she didn't expect how to explain to the Purple Pavilion, so she frowned, "That's it, when the young lady wakes up, I'll ask her again." ”

"Okay." Xiaoshu yawned when she saw her, and said thoughtfully, "You're tired too, go and rest, just ask me to go if you have something." ”

Yun Shu smiled and said, "With you, I'm relieved." You wait for Miss, and if she wakes up, tell me in time. ”

"Okay."

Yun Shu yawned and went back to his room to rest, while Xiaoshu moved a stool and sat in front of Qu Youying's room and waited.

It wasn't until after sunset that a sound came from Qu Youying's room.

Xiao Shu was excited, and when he was about to ask someone to prepare dinner, he saw Yun Shu come out.

She took a basin of water and went to Qu Youying's room.

At that time, Qu Youying was sitting at the head of the bed, looking at the darkness outside, in a daze, Yun Shu screamed a few times in a row before she reacted.

"Miss, what's wrong with you? Is there something uncomfortable? ”

"I'm fine. It's just a dream. ”

Qu Youying shook her head, there was still a light sweat on her forehead, she was frightened in her dream just now and was awakened.

She doesn't remember the specifics of the dream very much, the only thing she remembers is the wooden candle in the dream, and the last look at her eyes.

It was a ruthless ferocity, as well as a strangeness that had never been seen before, and a strong murderous aura.

As if between them, never acquaintance, just enemies.

When she was awakened, she thought of that night, hearing his conversation with outsiders, she knew that he was not really Mu Jingzhu, and she also knew his true purpose.

Recalling what Xi Fengyi said to her, she had a question in her heart, did Xi Fengyi know that Mu Jing Candle was not really Mu Jing Candle from the beginning?

But if that's the case, why didn't Master tell her directly?

Yun Shu was in a daze when he saw her say a word, and asked with some concern, "Did you have a nightmare?" Your face is very bad, do you need the slave to ask the doctor to come and take a look? ”

"Don't." Qu Youying shook her head and pointed to the table, Yun Shu immediately understood, poured her a glass of water and handed it over, she took it and drank half a cup, and then said, "How is it in the second room?" ”

"I don't know, the slave maid went to ask Xiaoshu to inquire."

"Okay."

Yun Shu turned around and retreated, went to find Xiaoshu, and then entered the room with dinner and gave Qu Youying a meal.

When Xiaoshu came back from inquiring about the news, Qu Youying only ate a few bites.

"Miss, the master has always been with Aunt Sun, her mood has not yet stabilized, one will say that you killed the second miss, and the other will say that the second miss is not dead, she will come back. Therefore, the second lady let the housekeeper handle the affairs of the second lady's death, and the master also asked his subordinates to inform the young lady, these days, tell you not to meet with her, so as not to stimulate Aunt Sun. ”

"What do you mean that Miss has stimulated Aunt Sun? The death of the second lady has nothing to do with my young lady, and what I don't like to hear is that her own life is not good, and what does it matter to my young lady. ”

Because the second room has always been aimed at this side, Yun Shu has never looked at them unpleasantly.

When Qu Qiluo was found dead, Aunt Sun kept accusing Qu Youying of killing Qu Qiluo, including on the way back, as long as she saw Qu Youying, she would pounce and go crazy.

So Qu Qingyang said that they would go separately, and he and Aunt Sun took Qu Qiluo's charred corpse back to Xiangling Town first, while Qu Youying and Mu Jingzhu arrived half a day behind.

"Okay Yunshu, after all, it's her daughter, she has always put all her expectations on Qiluo, and now that Qiluo is dead, she must be extremely sad, plus she already looks at me unpleasantly, so she will naturally blame me, since my father told me not to see her, then it will be gone. But these days, the house is doing things, and you tell the people in our yard to pay attention, and if you need help, you can go, but just do things and don't gossip. ”

"Got it!" Although Yun Shu agreed, thinking about it, it was still worthless for Qu Youying, and couldn't help but say, "Miss, you are just too kind-hearted, so you will be bullied." ”

"I'm kind?" Qu Youying took a chopstick dish, and grinned when she heard the words, with a hint of self-deprecation, but she didn't continue, ate a few bites of rice, seemed to remember something, and said, "By the way, Xiaoshu, you take my suppen to Ziyouge tomorrow." ”

"Is there anything to explain to Miss Thousand Rhinos?"

In fact, Qianxi didn't have any explanation when she left this time, but Qu Youying always felt that one day, she would still return to Ziyou Pavilion, so even if Ziyou Pavilion was not there for a while, it still needed to operate normally.

The people in charge of things are all Qianxi's henchmen, which is more reliable, so Qu Youying repaired a book, only saying that Qianxi went out to wander and the return date was undecided, telling them to do their own thing, and Ziyouge must operate as usual.

After doing this, Qu Youying withdrew from the two of them, sat alone in front of the window, looking at the lonely night, her thoughts drifted far away, and she didn't know when she would fall asleep in the end.

When she woke up the next day, she found herself in bed.

Yun comfortably pushed the door in and saw that she was awake, so he waited for her to get up.

"Did you help me go to bed yesterday?"

"Last night? Nope! Miss, you said you don't want to be disturbed, so the slave and maid are always outside, and no one enters your room during this time. ”

Qu Youying frowned, if it wasn't Yun Shu, could it be someone else who entered her room?

For no reason, she thought of Mu Jing Candle.

I remembered that in the past, every time she quarreled with him, or encountered something on her mind, she watched the night in the middle of the night, and finally slept in front of the window, he would always carry her to bed.

Sometimes he would leave before she woke up, and sometimes he would wait for her to wake up, and then count her down well, and finally under her roar, Shi Shiran left.

So, last night, was that you, Jing Candle?

She thought about him in her heart, and there were many, many questions she wanted to ask him, including his identity, what he did in Shuifu, and some problems in Shuifu that had not really been solved.

However, despite all the things she cared about in her heart, she hadn't gone out for the past few days, let alone had any contact with him.

Just because she didn't want to think anything about him because of something she overheard that night, since she chose to believe him, she would believe it to the end.

Unless, if he is really cheating on her, then she will make her own choice at that time.

On the third day, it was the day of Qu Qiluo's funeral, because Qufu was also a famous family in Xiangling Town, so many people came, including Mu Jing Candle.

He came with Mu Zhifu, and after the incense, Mu Zhifu went to Qu Qingyang to talk, and Mu Jingzhu went directly to Qu Youying's courtyard from the mourning hall.

At that time, Qu Youying also happened to be accompanied by Yun Shu and Xiaoshu to the mourning hall, and when she saw Mu Jingzhu coming from a distance, she was stunned at first, then smiled slightly, and strode over.

"Jing Candle."

Mu Jingzhu saw that the smile on her face was still the same, but it was obviously not as pure and flawless as before, he knew in his heart that she was because of the matter of Shuifu, so he would be like this, so he didn't look for her in the past few days, he wanted her to rest and adjust.

"How's it going to be at home?" He waited for her to walk in, raised his hand, and touched her cheek affectionately, "You have lost a lot of weight these days. ”

"That is, how can it compare to the comfort of home in the wind and sun outside." Qu Youying pouted and said, "You have to make up for me." ”

Seeing her acting like before, Mu Jingzhu smiled helplessly, the hand that touched her cheek, pinched it, pinched the flesh on her cheek, and said, "Do you want to make up for it?" All the way back from here, I don't rely on you for anything, I should eat, I should play. ”

"Hmph, if you didn't have a ghost in your heart, would you treat me like this?"

As soon as these words came out, Mu Jingzhu's hand paused slightly.

Qu Youying immediately noticed it, blinked, and quickly changed the topic and said, "The hour is almost up, let's go to the mourning hall." Although my father told me not to go, after all, I am a half-sister, and I don't want to be gossiped about, let's go! ”

She took the initiative to take Mu Jingzhu's arm and walked towards the mourning hall.

The fleeting black surge in Mu Jingzhu's eyes also disappeared when she turned around.

The two of them didn't go late, but when they passed, there was a commotion in the mourning hall.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know, go check it out."

Mu Jingzhu clenched her hand and strode over.

The people in the mourning hall were all shrunk aside at the moment, and there was a large distance in the middle, staring at the women in that distance.

She was dressed in patched clothes, her black hair was only curled up with a hairpin, her figure was thin, and she looked very thin from the back.

At this moment, she was standing in front of the coffin in the mourning hall, looking at that side, silent.

Qu Youying casually pulled a domestic servant over and asked, "Who is this person?" ”

The servant seemed to be frightened, and after seeing that the person who was asking was the eldest lady Qu Youying, he swallowed his saliva, pointed at the woman, and said tremblingly, "That person, that person seems to be the second miss." ”

"Kira?" Qu Youying was surprised, "Isn't she dead?" ”

"Who said I was dead?" The man seemed to hear Qu Youying's voice, turned around, and said, "Or do you want me to die?" ”

Although she was in shabby clothes, with slight scars on her neck and hands, she looked very embarrassed, but that face was indeed Qu Qiluo.

Qu Youying, Mu Jingzhu, and Yun Shu were all stunned, especially Yun Shu, who was so shocked that he pointed at her and said, "Are you the second miss?" But weren't you burned to death? ”

When they came back this time, in addition to bringing back Aunt Sun, they brought back the charred corpse to Qufu together, after all, it was Qu Qiluo, according to the family rules of Qufu, anyone who died must be brought back to the original place, even if it was a rotting corpse or ashes.

Therefore, after the people of Shuifu embalmed the body according to Qu Youying's method, it was transported back.

But how could the originally dead woman still appear alive?

And that simple sentence obviously blames Qu Youying's death on Qu Youying, even if it is not, it will make people feel that this matter has nothing to do with her.

But these words were heard by Aunt Sun, who happened to be in a hurry.

"Kira, Kira, my daughter!"

Aunt Sun saw her standing in front of the mourning hall from a distance, and she broke free from Qu Qingyang's support with a scream, stumbled over, and hugged the man.

"My good daughter, it's great, you're not dead, it's great, it's great, it's great, my Kira is back, it's back."

Qu Qiluo was hugged by her, her eyes couldn't help but red, and tears flowed down one by one, looking aggrieved, just like Qu Qiluo before.
