XXXVII: Murder

I saw Xiao Ling wearing a moon-white thick cardigan, and Xiao Qi wearing a dark blue robe embroidered with dark flowers, one was as warm as jade, and the other was luxurious and handsome.

Su Huiyao saw the two of them like this, and only resented why Su Peiyao's life was so good, although her mother died early, who made her love the old lady? In the past, she loved like a baby, and the good family of Changjun Wangfu was also given to her by the third sister.

It's really infuriating.

Su Yunyao didn't want to care about the gossip of others, the fifth sister accompanied her mother to socialize, so she played with the tenth sister, holding a rabbit lantern in her hand, and Su Moyao in her hand a sheep's head lantern.

However, Su Moyao's lantern was pasted by herself a few days ago, probably because of her inexperience, the two horns on the head of the sheep's head lamp are glued together, the tip is not sharp and round, and the good sheep's head is like a bear's head.

"You made this lantern yourself?" Xiao Qi leaned over and asked.

The two of them were startled, first saluted, and then replied, "Exactly." ”

Xiao Qi looked down at the lamp in Su Yunyao's hand, then at Su Moyao's, and couldn't help but smile, "I don't know if the sheep's head lamp in the hand of the tenth girl is or what?" ”

Su Moyao blushed for a while, and said embarrassedly, "There is more paste on the lantern paper, this is already the best one made, and I can't even look at it from the side." ”

She is a real person, where do you want to know why Xiao Qi chatted with them? Naturally, he couldn't think of his thoughts about his eleventh sister.

"I heard that the two girls were born from the same child, and it will be the same day when the time comes?" Xiao Qi seemed to ask casually, but Su Yunyao understood it at once.

Without waiting for her to stop her, Su Moyao said quickly, "Isn't it, my eleventh sister came out with half a pillar of incense, and I will do it together." ”

"When was that? At that time, your Su family and my Xiao family will be a family, so let my mother bring our brothers to be lively. ”

"Sister Dongjiu is going to be in time for this year, and Sister Eleventh and I should be in the spring next year."

Xiao Qi wanted to ask something more, but when he saw Su Yunyao pulling Su Moyao, the posture of running away made Xiao Qi laugh.

He became more and more interested in this eleventh girl of the Su family, although she was not very old, it was not difficult to see that she was very smart, different from her sister, and everything was like a mirror in her heart.

But next year, it will be timely, and when the time comes, let her mother come forward, and think that the Su family will be willing to let her marry into the Changjun Mansion as a concubine.

Everyone gathered in front of the banquet after a while, eating and drinking and saying a few words from time to time, there are not many Xiao family, only two sons, and no elders, so it is not nervous for the Su family.

If it was really like this for Xiao Naixiong and the Yang family, it would be quite nervous, for fear that the etiquette would be inconsiderate and snub the distinguished guests.

Although it is said that they are about to become in-laws, but the Changjun Wangfu is everyone, not an ordinary small family, if something really does something wrong and annoys them, it is not good.

After eating, everyone went to the bridge and the lake to enjoy the moon for a while, the autumn wind was hard, and it was impossible to bear it if you wore less.

"Girl, I'll go back to Qinzhuxuan to get you a thin cloak." Li Xi said, "It will definitely be colder than this moment in a while, and I will get two more for the fifth and tenth girls." ”

Su Yunyao turned her head to look, and no one looked at her, so she promised, "Go, come back soon." ”

The moonlight was very soft, although it was much brighter than usual, but it was not like daytime, and it could not completely illuminate Su Mansion.

Lanterns are lit every other stretch of the lake to prevent anyone from falling into them.

Li Xi walked carefully with the lantern, and on the way she also met Liu He, the fourth lady of the Tingning Xuan, she had just come out of the Tingning Xuan, and the dress on her body was no longer the one she was wearing on the banquet, it seemed that she should have come back to change.

"Say hello to the fourth lady."

Liu He nodded, "It's to get clothes for the eleventh girl, right?" ”

Li Xi replied: "The fourth lady is really smart!" The slave and maid looked at the cold wind, and thought that it would be cold for a while, and worried that it would freeze the girls. ”

Liu He smiled lightly, "Go, don't delay." ”

Qin Zhu Xuan and Tan Ning Xuan are not far away, but after turning two corners, Liuyun Zhai of the three ladies passed by in the middle, and Tan Ning Xuan is close to the courtyard wall, and Qin Zhu Xuan is on the right side of Tan Ning Xuan, leaning inside.

Li Xi held three thin cloaks, held a lantern in one hand, and tried her best to illuminate the road under her feet, and saw that she was passing by Liuyunzhai, but heard a scream.

That voice was the voice of Qingsi, the maid beside the fourth lady, Liuhe, and it was she who was guarding the side of the fourth lady.

"What's wrong?" Lixi asked as she shouted, trotting towards the place where the sound came from.

The backyard and the front yard are not close, if the fourth lady really fell and touched it, Su Yao and the others in front would not find out immediately.

Li Xi didn't know what to do for a while, and asked again, "What's wrong with the fourth lady?" ”

The lantern illuminated the front, and Li Xi saw a masked man in black forcing Qingsi into a corner, and before Qingsi could shout the next sentence, he drew his knife and stabbed her in the stomach.

But the fourth lady disappeared.

The lantern in Lixi's hand fell to the ground in fright, and she quickly covered her mouth, her legs were sore, and she couldn't walk.

And the man in black obviously noticed her, and the hand that was tugging at the green silk hair let go, and he turned around to chase after her.

Even if he was scared to the extreme, this life-threatening matter should still run, Li Xi picked up the lantern, still holding the clothes of a few girls in his arms, and ran to the front yard with all his strength, shouting "Help!" as she ran! There are gangsters who commit murder! Come on! ”

The gravel road on the ground stumbled, and one of them tripped and fell without paying attention, and she hurriedly got up, not caring that the lantern was still thrown on the ground, and lifted the skirt with one hand and continued to escape. The man in black has been following behind him, but there is a gap in physical strength between men and women, and it is easy to catch up with Lixi.

There was a glimmer of light in front of him, and there was a blocked voice, Li Xi thought it was the Su family's family, so he shouted, "Come on!" There are gangsters in the house! ”

But who would have thought? When she ran closer, she found that it was another masked man in black, pinching Liu He with one hand and blocking her mouth with the other.

"What do you do!" Li Xi threw down the clothes in his hand, ran over and hit the man in black with his shoulder, and the man in black didn't expect that there would be someone else here, and thought that everyone in the house was in the front yard.

Liu He's expression was flustered, her face was blocked and bloodshot, and she was almost strangled to death, and the man in black on her body was knocked away by Lixi, so she was saved and took two breaths.

"Today, none of you want to live!" The black-clothed man said in a hurry.
