Chapter 23: The Sorrowful Concubine of Cui Mansion (21)

Walking out of Zhangjia Village and returning to the carriage, Meng Hui still felt cold for Cui Yuying. Living in this family that treats human life as a mustard and has no family affection and moral values, everyone around her can watch her murder without making a sound.

Cui Yuwei panicked and frightened for a while afterwards, did a few rituals, burned a few incense sticks, and was able to happily accept the convenience that this murder brought to her. She may have thought that the murderer was Cui Da before, but judging from her later performance with Aunt Li, she must have known the truth.

Doesn't she know that half of the reason why Aunt Li killed Cui Yuying was to pave the way for her marriage? She knows it in her heart! It's just that, like Aunt Li, she thinks that Cui Yuying is blocking her way, and it is natural to kick away the roadblock.

There is also the shameless Cui Da, if it weren't for his ill intentions, malicious harassment and coercion, Cui Yuying would not have died at all. But he had no regrets afterwards, he should have gone to the Qinglou to visit the Qinglou, he should have drunk flower wine and flower wine, but he was only worried that his jade pendant and Ruyi knot would be found.

Except for not wanting to be mistaken for a murderer, Cui Da didn't worry about anything else at all. He is not afraid of the news of molesting his sister-in-law, in his opinion, even if the whole city knows about it? He doesn't plan to take the official career in the scientific examination, this is just a romantic matter.

But no matter how hard-hearted Cui Yuwei and Cui Da are, it was Master Cui who made Meng Hui feel the chill down his back the most.

Before, because he was irritable and irritable, he wrote absurdity and shamelessness on his face, so Meng Hui didn't care about him at first, he just thought he was an ordinary ancient scumbag, and at most he would do things to exchange his daughter for money.

What I didn't expect was that Master Cui's ruthlessness far exceeded the limits of human beings, and it was much more gloomy than it looked on the surface.

He doesn't like Cui Yuying, usually ignores it, and doesn't find out the truth after death, which just shows his disgust for this concubine. But when he knew that the person was killed by Aunt Li, for the sake of face and money, he could actually live as if he didn't know anything and lived as usual.

Even the panic shown by Cui Da and the fear shown by Cui Yuwei did not appear on him at all. The death of a daughter is like losing a hair to him, or the hair on someone else's head, which can't make him look at it or think about it for a moment.

When Meng Hui mentioned Cui Yuying in front of him, all he got was a look of extreme disgust, as if he had heard something dirty and ruined his breakfast.

Meng Hui ironically thought that the Wang family, who had targeted, suppressed, and exploited Cui Yuying all year round, became the only one who did not participate in this murder case.

"Girl, let's report to the official! I'll go back and pack all my belongings, quietly leave the house, and we'll leave Kyoto after reporting to the official! As soon as Ning Zhu thought of going back to Cui's Mansion, she felt that they were drilling into the lair of the beast, which was a place where people eat people and didn't spit out bones, and she didn't want to go back.

Ning Lu was already timid, and when she heard that Cui Yuying's death involved so many masters, she was so frightened that she trembled when she thought of Cui Fu. "Yes, let's escape, if Aunt Li and the second girl knew that the girl was investigating this, they would definitely find a way to harm the girl!"

Meng Hui is calmer than them, in addition to the task that must be completed, there is also the anger caused by modern thinking, which makes her unwilling to let go of this family easily.

"Reporting to the official that Aunt Li killed someone and letting the official arrest her away, the impact is too light."

"Master Cui stayed on duty at most, and finally fell into the fault of not governing the family strictly; Cui Yuwei avoided this period of limelight, and she could marry a white family far away; As for Cui Da, as long as Master Cui has the heart to help, marrying a wife and having children will not be delayed. ”

Meng Hui didn't know the criminal laws of this dynasty, but she knew that her aunt was half a slave, and a slave and maid couldn't kill the whole family.

Cui Yuying's death was not caused by Aunt Li alone, Cui Da was not retributed, and this task could not be completed at all. What's more, she ran away with her feet crossed, and after Cui Yuzhen returned to her body, how could she beg for a living outside?

"What are you going to do?" Ning Zhu forced herself to calm down, even if she was beating a drum in her heart, she was still willing to seek justice for Cui Yuying. "Or according to the original plan? Lian'er won't bite us back, will she? ”

Meng replied: "Yes, according to the original plan." Lian'er hates Cui Yuying to death, she doesn't need to believe her, just believe her hatred. ”

Ning Zhu nodded, Ning Lu knew that she couldn't change their minds, took a deep breath, and silently accepted the arrangement.

It was already dusk when I returned to Cui's Mansion, and the remnant sun finally came out of the clouds and mist, sprinkling the light that had been hidden for two days. Sunset was as red as blood, and the three people walking in it felt depressed.

Obviously, they have walked countless times, but the condensation and condensation beads feel so strange that they seem to have to grit their teeth in order to walk back to the yard safely.

"Condensation, go rummag through your belongings, see how much money you have left, and then look for bits and pieces that you can come up with."

"Yes." Condensation answered, and ran into the house in small steps.

Meng Hui then instructed Ning Zhu: "You go and see what Hongying is doing, and if she happens to be idle, give her a breath as planned." ”

"I'll go." Ning Zhu put down her burden and quickly left the hospital.

Meng Hui fell on the beauty couch, thinking about the condensation beads, and couldn't calm down. After a while, Condensation came over with two shriveled purses, making her feel even more powerless.

"That's all?"

"That's all."

Forty dollars, two broken silver grains of bad color, five outdated silver hairpins, and two earrings are all Cui Yuzhen's belongings. Meng Hui picked it and instructed Ning Lu: "Don't use the silver money first, pick two passable hairpins, and then put on a pair of earrings, wrap them up and give them to Hongying when the time comes." ”

Ning Lu's heart was dripping blood, but thinking about it, it was about the future of his girl's marriage and the death of the eldest girl, so he gritted his teeth and nodded to do things.

*

Hongying sat in the room, taking pictures in front of the bronze mirror, and she was upset to watch those young girls and sons play in Wenfu yesterday.

She is one of the best looks in Cui's house, but Master Cui took advantage of it, but he didn't even let her aunt do it. She knew that if there were three aunts in a family like Cui Fu, it would indeed be bad to spread it. But what's the use of just being a room? Unable to get any benefits, Bai and Wang were separated from each other.

Thinking of Wang, Hongying pouted again. This master followed in vain, and said that her mother's milk was raised, and her conscience was eaten by dogs, and she didn't think about her future at all.

and her mother, who only knows how to persuade her to be patient and conceive a child before she can calculate, but is the child so easy to conceive? "Hmph, the second girl is such a person, but her luck is so good, what blessings can't you enjoy when you climb the eldest prince? My life is not good, and I can't even be an aunt. ”

After complaining a few words in her heart, Hongying suddenly heard the sound of condensation beads outside the door, her brows furrowed, and she said without looking back: "What are you doing here?" ”
