East Courtyard.

The eldest lady Gu is worshipping the Buddha, kneeling on the futon, playing with the Buddha beads while silently reciting the scriptures.

Incense was burned in front of the table, like a silky Buddha incense, which made people feel calm.

Outside, the maid Sheng Xiang walked in, and when she got closer, her pace slowed down again, and she didn't dare to come forward to disturb, but just stood aside quietly.

Half an hour later, the eldest lady raised her arm, and Mother Xu quickly helped her up, and the eldest lady asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The maid Sheng Xiang respectfully reported, "Steward You asked people to inquire outside, no one said anything about the fourth young grandmother, and the news was only that the fourth young grandmother was in poor health, and the incident that night did not spread." ”

The eldest lady's expression was indifferent, and Mother Xu helped her sit down, and she said, "It seems that Jian Xiu's punishment on that day is still effective." ”

After the eldest lady spoke, Mother Xu immediately said, "They are all people in this prime minister's mansion, and no one dares to turn their hands outward, for fear of dying." The host family can rest assured. ”

In the room, after a moment of silence, I heard the eldest lady Gu Shi say, "Mama Xu, do you think Ji'er is really in evil body?" ”

The tone was relaxed, and those who didn't know thought that the eldest lady didn't care at all.

The maid Sheng Xiang didn't dare to speak, and Xu's mother also frowned.

The eldest lady tightened the Buddhist beads in her hand and looked at Mother Xu, "Although you don't say anything, in the eyes of everyone, Yi'er is still evil, isn't it?" ”

The corners of Xu's mother twitched faintly, and she said what she thought in her heart, "The old slave thinks maybe there is a little bit, otherwise how could there be such a red light that day." After a pause, Mother Xu said in a low voice, "How can a human body emit such light." ”

The eldest lady's eyes sank visibly.

Although I am afraid that this matter has really not been spread out, but when the eldest lady went out of the east courtyard, she always saw the maid standing in the shade of the tree in the mansion and talking to each other, and when she saw her, she was busy silencing, and her face was full of evasive heart.

The eldest lady was even more angry when she saw it, "Isn't the punishment of the fourth young master that day heavy enough!" ”

The maids shrank their brains and did not dare to reply.

Fuli On the observation floor, the wind is a little strong, and the veil is flying, but the scenery is excellent, and the beautiful scenery of the entire garden can be seen from afar. Even though the snow is everywhere, the plum blossoms are still in full bloom.

Liu Piao's brows were slightly twisted, and he looked at the garden with a gloomy expression, his eyes were not focused, and he didn't know what he was looking at.

She was thinking about how to deal with Ling Yunyi when she teamed up with Feng Siying, but she hadn't thought about it yet.

After watching the observation tower for a while, Liu Piaoyi planned to go back

Qinghui Garden, just as he was about to leave, there was a stampede on the stairs

Sound.

Following the prestige, I saw the third brother Min Xiu stepping up the steps, Liu Piaoyi's expression was a little unnatural, and he smiled lightly at Min Xiu, who had already come up, and saluted, "Third brother." ”

Min Xiu saw her alone on this observation tower, and deliberately walked up.

"It's so cold, why are you staying here? What are you thinking? ”

"I didn't think about anything," Liu Piao's eyes dodged, and then asked him, "Didn't the third brother also come out." ”

Min Xiu smiled dumbly, "I also have nothing to do." ”

Thinking about that night, Min Xiu, like everyone else in the house, was very puzzled by the Miss Liu in front of him, and also guessed that she had fallen into evil.

Min Xiu always wanted to ask, but he couldn't ask when the words came to his mouth, for fear that Liu Piaoyi would not be happy with his question, so he was silent for a moment and still didn't ask, but said, "Yi'er's body is not easy to blow cold wind outside, so it's better to go back and rest early." ”

Min Xiu looked at Liu Piaoyi, his eyes flashed, and it was a little meaningful.

Liu Piaoyi smiled slightly and half-bent over, turned around to get off the observation tower, Min Xiu suddenly called her, "Wait." ”

Liu Piaoyi stood still and looked back at him, with some doubts in his expression.

Min Xiu smiled and said, "Yi'er, don't care about other people's eyes, you are still you, not some evil spirit, I believe in you, and I believe in what I see." ”

Liu Piaoyao looked at him with a smile, his eyes were sharp and sharp, and it seemed to be able to pierce him to the bottom of his heart. He said so on his lips, but did he really think so in his heart, Liu Piaoyi didn't fully believe his statement.

"If Ji'er really has a demon in his body, what will happen to the third brother?!" Liu Piaoyi stared at Min Xiu tightly, and Min Xiu did not shy away from looking at her. He frowned, and when he heard this, he suddenly became cold.

He didn't answer, his eyes flickering, and he didn't expect her to suddenly ask such a question.

After a moment, Liu Piaoyi smiled, smiled indifferently, and turned around again and walked downstairs.

Min Xiu's pestle was in place, and half of it was in his own silence.

——————————————————————

In another mansion, the military department gave Zhang Xiang's mansion in the incident, although Zhang Xi'an is dead, and the slaves and maids in the mansion have also been dismissed a lot, but it is still a big family.

Since the death of her husband, Mrs. Zhang has been sullen in the house, depressed and sick, and rarely goes out.

Outside, a maid ran in and said happily, "The eldest prince is back!" ”

Zhang Chifeng, Zhang Momo's elder brother, Zhang Xiang's eldest son. The deputy general of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry Battalion, because the military camp was busy, after Zhang Xiang's death, he wanted to reply to the letter, but the emperor rejected it, and this time the emperor specially ordered him to come back. After Zhang Chifeng received the will, he rushed back without stopping.

Hearing that her son was back, Mrs. Zhang's haggard face was full of smiles, overjoyed, and her eyes were hazy with tears.

After Zhang Chifeng returned home, he ran directly to his mother, knelt down on his legs, and called out sadly, "Mother." ”

Zhang Momo on the side stroked the tears on her face, as if the sadness of many days suddenly exploded, "Brother, our Zhang family is now only in charge of you." The death of my father cannot be passed so unclearly......"

Zhang Chifeng's eyebrows were sharp, and his tone was hard, "Mother, don't worry, my son will definitely find out the murderer and avenge his father." ”

Mrs. Zhang said lovingly, "All the way back, the boat is tired, let's go and rest first." As he spoke, he picked up Zhang Chifeng with his own hands.

Zhang Chifeng knelt in front of the spiritual seat of his father in the sect hall for several hours, his heart was sad and sad.

The next day, Zhang Chifeng went directly to the Jinyi Weidu Command Envoy to meet Jian Xiu. The purpose is clear, and Jin Yiwei is asked to make every effort to investigate and deal with his father's case. even looked at Zhang Jianxiu in a high-profile manner, saying that his father, as an official of the imperial court, was killed in the mansion, which shows that traitors are rampant in the capital. despised Zhang Jianxiu as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he actually made the capital unpeaceful, and thieves were everywhere.

The sneering Jian Xiu is worthy of his identity.

Zhang Chifeng is a general who leads the troops, and Jian Xiu is not slack, but his composure makes Zhang Chifeng sneer.

His father died tragically, Zhang Chifeng sarcastically mocked Jian Xiu with an angry face, saying that he was negligent, "At the foot of the world, thieves are rampant, and you, as a commander, have not even done a good job in the security of the capital, whether you are not responsible for this duty or do not value my father, so there is no clue at this time!" ”

Zhang Chifeng asked Jian Xiu with red eyes.

Jian Xiu's face was calm, what Zhang Chifeng said was right, since Zhang Xi'an was killed, his Jinyi guards have been scouting everywhere, but there are no clues. Even if Jian Xiu knew in his heart that it was the White Lotus Sect that was doing it, he had not found the whereabouts of the White Lotus Sect.

Speaking of which, he is really useless.

Zhang Chifeng angrily left Du Fusi in front of Jian Xiu.

Jian Xiu, who was sitting on the chair, frowned coldly, so that those subordinates didn't dare to step forward and say more.

When has this Buddha been scolded so badly?

Jian Xiu was not angry at the past, those subordinates were curious, and the commander had never been so silent, but Yao Zhi understood that the adult felt that he had indeed not done a little bit of success, so he let that Zhang Chifeng face it regardless of his face.

After Zhang Chifeng left, Jian Xiu, who had a gloomy face, suddenly lifted the teacups on several tables to the ground and smashed them to the ground.

This fall made the subordinates standing on both sides shiver.

"What are you doing! Look at the jokes of the officials, don't all go out to do things! Staring at his subordinates, Jian Xiu became angry.

Suddenly, everyone in the hall disappeared.

When Jian Xiu returned home, it was already nightfall. He saw Ji'er sitting on the soft chair, only raising his eyes and glancing coldly, and then lowered his head again, as if immersed in his own world, and saw himself like air.

That kind of look made Jian Xiu a little uncomfortable, and she always felt that she didn't care much about herself. This feeling made Jian Xiu's heart ache.

Stepping over, his dark eyes stared at Ji'er deeply, focused and condensed.

Liu Piaoyi slowly raised his eyes and glanced at Jian Xiu, so careless, so lazy and comfortable, so leisurely strolling. There is a touch of evil in the elegance. There is a touch of cunning in righteousness!

What kind of woman is this? Why is it so common to be puzzled? Jian Xiu felt that sometimes he didn't know her and couldn't see through her.

Liu Piaoyi stood up slowly, although her tall and slender body was wrapped in thick clothes, she was still so slender.

"Jian Xiu, are you okay?" Liu Piaoyu opened his mouth, his expression was quiet, but there was a trace of doubt in his eyes, and he suspected that there was melancholy in his expression.

"I'm fine." Jian Xiu's lips were slanted, drawing a faint arc, "Do you have something?" ”

"Me?" Liu Piaoyi smiled faintly, a little charming, but it had nothing to do with Fengyue, "What can Ji'er do?!" ”

She's fine, why is she so lonely just now, so cool, and she doesn't have a trace of enthusiasm when she sees herself. Jian Xiu was very puzzled in his heart, and stared at her for a moment.

"Have you ever eaten? If not, they will send food to bring them. As soon as Liu Piao's words landed, a person came in behind him, it was Lin Tian'er, and he was holding a tray in his hand. A bowl of fragrant shredded chicken noodle soup and two side dishes are delicate and delicious.

"Fourth Young Master, the dinner you prepared has been prepared." Lin Tian'er respectfully put the meal on the table.

Jian Xiu stared at Liu Piao's memory and said, "When I returned home, I asked Wen Si to go to the kitchen to do this." He took Liu Piaoyi's hand and said with concern, "Have you eaten?" ”

Liu Piaoyi pursed her lips lightly and smiled and nodded.

After Lin Tian'er put down the plate, he deliberately glanced at Liu Piao, and saw that the somewhat pale and haggard sick face more or less covered up the original beautiful appearance. It can be seen that Liu Piao's body is indeed a little sick after that night. Whether it was really a demon or not, Lin Tian'er knew it, but it was the medicine of the Lord. But why Liu Piaoyi has such symptoms, Lin Tian'er didn't understand it, and he was also very curious.

The Lord did not tell her, and she did not dare to ask, so she had to find out for herself. But Lin Tian'er didn't believe what those subordinates in the house said, and fell for the demon.

Liu Piao remembered that he was sick, and the Lord knew this illness very well. This is what Lin Tian'er understands most at the moment.
