Xie Ci closed the door softly, and the grandmother next door was already asleep.

He wiped his face, rubbed the mask in his hand, and pulled out a thin strip of rice paper from the cuff of his sleeve.

[Tonight, the thieves will do murder and looting in Duanfu, please come quickly. 】

There is no payment, but the hairpin flower is obviously from the woman's hand.

Xie Ci stretched his shoulder, his right shoulder was still in hot pain, and he quickly pulled some gauze and applied some scalding medicine, and finally lay down.

The girl he rescued in Duan's mansion today felt very much like the woman he had seen in his dreams.

The women in the dream were older, but their eyebrows and eyes were exactly the same.

In the dream, she looked lonely and arrogant, sitting on the high golden hall, but her eyes were all dead and silent, a line of tears slipped down her eyes, but her face was as smooth as a porcelain sculpture.

And in his dream, he is the traveler who trekked through mountains and rivers, full of knives and blood.

He looked at her in his dream and wanted to ask, "Who are you and what's wrong with you?" ”

But again and again, he suddenly woke up and saw the light of day.

Xie Ci closed his eyes, listening to the sound of the rain outside, his shoulder ached faintly, and he gasped steadily.

A young man's lighthearted smile was revealed.

In any case, this is the first time he has saved people since he did the fast hunt.

And met the old man in his dreams.

Until there was a knock on the door, a carp turned over and opened the door.

I saw two colleagues wearing fast hunting clothes standing at the door, one of them said: "Thank you, last night the only daughter of the widow on West Street hanged herself, and her mother was going to remarry. The neighbors want to erect a virgin monument for her, and the widow is so troubled by her daughter's death that she is about to hit the wall, and someone has reported to the official, let's go and see. ”

.

A square table separates Duan Ling'er from the golden silk nanmu bed, and there is a medicine box on the table.

An Niang found a small agarwood incense burner from the cabinet and lit a stove of incense crumbs.

Duan Ling'er had red eyes, the drizzle blended with the swallow mud, the blue screen window of the lotus wind building had long since faded and there was no new yarn to change, and the fine spring rain outside the screen window fell to the ground, looking like a silver needle in the medicine box.

When the rain stopped, Shen opened his eyes.

Shen hesitated for a moment, recalling that terrifying dream, the raging fire that burned the stars in the sky, and he fell into the smoke, watching the fire invade, but he couldn't move.

I saw my daughter Duan Ling'er scream: "Mother", bounced up from the chair, and threw herself into her arms.

The mother's warm breath suddenly came, and Duan Ling'er cried bitterly.

Alive, mother and brother are still alive.

Nothing has happened yet, and her life can be restarted.

Shen's face originally had the posture of listening to cicadas at night, but the eye waves that circulated in the past had been mixed with infinite remorse, winding and winding on her face, and turning into a love shackle.

The perennial depression has made this person as dim as an ancient tree, and he can no longer make a trace of waves.

Shen stretched out his hand, hugged his daughter, and rubbed her forehead.

I saw that the child was in tears, and the forehead and eyes of the little man were red and swollen.

She reached out and gently stroked her daughter's hair, her eyes full of love: "Ling'er, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Mother, Ling'er almost lost you last night."

Duan Ling'er's eyes were full of moisture, and her mother's eyebrows looked indistinct.

An Niang, who was still shocked, tried to rub her tired eyes that had not been closed all night, and stammered clearly what happened last night, and her frightened expression gradually spread to Shen's hibiscus face.

After An Niang finished speaking, the chaotic spring rain had already wet the old leaves that had not fallen last year, and in the courtyard of the lotus wind building, the new sprouts of grass and trees and green bamboos appeared frequently, and the garden was mixed with the smell of earth, all of which were fragrant.

After hearing what happened last night, Shen's hands trembled slightly, she touched Duan Ling'er's face several times to confirm that the daughter in front of her was intact, and then straightened up and saw that her son Duan Yu was still sleeping peacefully on the chaise longue, so she exhaled.

The children are well.

It turns out that those are not dreams, they are all real.

"Why does the second housekeeper and Mrs. Heping want to harm us?" Duan Yu, who was on the chaise longue next to him, had just woken up, and he sat up, his handsome face facing his mother and sister, looking at them blankly.

Duan Ling'er was stiffened by her brother's question, where was the second housekeeper and the peaceful mother-in-law who harmed them?

I am afraid that the command of the overall situation is far away in the imperial capital of the capital.

The mother is not the father's favorite concubine, and she has no ability to threaten anyone in the Duan Mansion.

Get rid of his mother and brother and leave only himself, and the ultimate goal is only his own person, this face.

In the past, Duan Ling'er thought that the eldest lady raised herself as a natural mother's benevolence to a concubine who lost her biological mother, and now that she has lived a lifetime, she looks back, compared to the concubines who have long been separated from the eldest lady in the main mansion in the capital, she is far away in Yangzhou and has outstanding appearance, and she is the best candidate to cultivate into a sharp knife.

The best way to take his youngest son and make him willingly recognize him as his mother is to get rid of all the ties of his younger son.

Duan Ling'er lifted her skirt and stood up.

With a mother and brother, every winter, even if Xiao Su did not order someone to send charcoal, the three of them huddled together, they still felt warm.

With a mother and brother, even if he lives in an ice cave, his heart is like a slight fire on the plain.

In the previous life, the kinship was weak, so I knew what should be cherished the most.

In this life, I, Duan Ling'er, will never let you kill them.

Duan Ling'er moved to the Hehuan mirror, her shadow was cast on the blue gauze cabinet, and a water rhino comb landed steadily on the dressing table.

Tsai carefully looked at the face in the mirror: bright eyebrows and eyes, and ice and frosty skin.

It doesn't take long for the color of the face to bloom.

Everyone says that a woman's hue is the best, but who is rare in the Jiuqu Pond in the capital, the small gold mountain in the Great Liang Country, who wants to be the charming partridge and become the enchanting Luan Feng? In the previous life, the dancing and singing voices were not as good as the voice called by the mother and brother - "Ling'er".

"Sister?" Duan Yu took the tea handed by An Niang, and the incense burner beside him spit out cigarettes slightly, the smoke was swirling, and the back of his head still had a paralyzing tingle, and the whole person was still dizzy.

Duan Ling'er turned her head, her eyes flashing with light, and she said softly, "I know what they are for." ”

.

In the Dongxiang courtyard of the sixth aunt Xiao Su, the Huang family couldn't wait for the maid to report, so he opened the curtain and walked into the inner wing.

Xiao Su also woke up from a deep dream, and his face was still a little sleepy, and when he heard that the next person had come to report that the mother-in-law and the second housekeeper had been burned to death by Duan Ling'er's order with his own hands, his cheeks were red with anger, like a drunken peach.

Now that they saw the Huang family, the two of them hadn't said a few words, and suddenly listened to the next person report again, and learned that the Shen family was not dead, and immediately "made an uproar" and smashed a blue and white tea cup on the case.

Stinky girl! What a bold man, dare to deceive his aunt!

I thought I only needed to caress the corpse and cry and make a show, but who knew that those two people were not dead?!

"The dead girl deceived us like this, and she was heartfelt." Huang was angry and annoyed, gritting his teeth.

Xiao Su snorted coldly: "What are you cheating? When did she say that people were dead? Just say it's resting on a wooden plank. This 'shelving' will make you and me go around. ”

"And the drugged lotus leaf porridge, which is obviously the porridge of our ninth medicine room, but we drank it clean ourselves! She Duan Xiaojiu set fire to death and burned the second housekeeper and Mrs. Heping! Sixth sister, I don't have any close people anymore, only a nurse like Mrs. Ping is left, and the nurse also listened to your arrangement to do this, sixth sister, you have to be the master of my nurse! Huang cried and whimpered, wanting to seek justice for his nurse Ping.

Xiao Su was too lazy to pay attention to her, and he also lost the right-hand man of the second housekeeper, so it would not be so convenient to do things for his mother's Su Mansion in the future.

Now that he has lost his henchmen, but he has not even been able to do the wood-like Shen family, how can he return to the capital?

Thinking of the eldest lady's face, Xiao Su shuddered.

Yes, no matter how much she hates, she can't do anything to Duan Ling'er, what the eldest lady wants is Duan Ling'er's cherry sandalwood mouth, Qiong Yao's pink nose, and what she wants is Duan Ling'er's face that is already a white pear flower at a young age, and a light willow waist.

This girl, but her little Su can't move!

The more Xiao Su thought about it, the more angry he became, and even the celadon plate containing the fruit was thrown out, and the plate fell to the ground and immediately shattered into porcelain gravel.

With the sound of shattering, even more unbelievable news came - Duan Ling'er was disfigured.
