Chapter 35 Xue's tragic death and occasional murderer
Fang You woke up in a daze when he heard the knock on the door, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Shi Nian standing in front of her door with a frightened face. Then following the direction of Shi Nian's finger, she saw Xue Shi lying in a pool of blood.
When Fang You and Shi Nian rushed to the door of Xue Qi's room, the man in black was about to use his sword to assassinate Xue Qi, who had been stunned by the incense. Seeing the situation, Fang Yu drew his sword, threw down the scabbard, and stabbed the man in black before he could hurt Xue Qi.
Who knew that Shi Nian saw that the man in black was going to kill Xue Qi, so he couldn't help but exclaim, and when the man in black heard it, he hurriedly turned around and turned around to block the sword that Fang You stabbed over.
However, to Fang You's surprise, the man in black seemed to pause when he saw her, and then he didn't have any intention of fighting her, so he broke out of the window and disappeared into the night.
Fang You was anxious about the safety of the Xue clan and Xue Qi, so he didn't catch up again.
The two of them helped Xue up first, and Xue's body was full of blood, and he was already angry, "Go and take a look...... Ah...... Come ......," she said, pointing to her son in the room.
Fang You hurriedly got up and ran to Xue Qi's bedside, seeing that there were no injuries on his body, and tested his snort, so he turned back to Xue Shi and Shi Nian and said, "He's fine, it's just that he fell into a coma for the time being." ”
Xue Shi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Fang You's words, and his straight body softened.
"I'll go find a doctor!" Fang You looked at Xue's appearance, and as he spoke, he prepared to go out.
"Wait...... Wait a minute. Xue's face turned pale and his breath was weak, "I'...... I can't do it, Ayu, you come here, I have something to say. ”
"You should go to the doctor first." Fang Yu said anxiously.
"Look at ......" Xue pointed to his neck that was bleeding from Shi Nian's fingers, and said, "It's too late, Ayu, come here, I have something to say to you, I can't support it anymore." ”
Fang You looked at her like that, held back his tears, squatted beside her, and choked up, "Auntie, you say." ”
After Xue muttered a few words in her ear, his arm hung down and he swallowed. Shi Nian and Fang You didn't seem to have reacted yet, Xue was dead, and the two of them were just in tears.
"Auntie, auntie, wake up." Shi Nian cried.
Fang You looked at Xue Shi who had closed his eyes, his mind was blank, hating that he couldn't save her, and now the person in this world who could make her feel as warm as a mother disappeared forever. She hugged Xue tightly, like the hug Xue gave her last time she went home at night, but now the Xue family in her arms has gradually lost her temperature, and she will never open her mouth to call her name again.
Xue Qi opened his eyes and rubbed his groggy head. He felt sleepy, as if he had slept for a long time. looked out the window, it was already very bright, strange, why didn't A-Niang come to call her when she was late today, and why was it so quiet today? On weekdays, A-Niang has already started cleaning the yard.
Fang You and Shi Nian saw Xue Qi who had just left the room, and the two of them hurriedly turned their backs, he would always wake up and always know about it.
"Sister Ayu, Sister Shi Nian, what's wrong with you?" Xue Qi looked at the strange two and rubbed his eyes, "What about A-Niang?" Why don't you see her, is A-Niang getting up late today? ”
"Ah Qi......" Fang You finally mustered up the courage to walk up to Xue Qi.
"Sister Ayu, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying? There is still a blue circle under the eyes, did you not sleep well last night? Xue Qi interrupted her and asked with concern.
"Ah ......" Fang You didn't answer him, but grabbed his shoulder and said, "Auntie, she ......"
Xue heard her say that she was A-Niang, and when she saw that the two of them seemed to have cried, she noticed that something was wrong, so he walked quickly to Xue's room and said, "What's wrong with A-Niang?" Is she sick? ”
"Ahh......h She's asleep......" Fang Yu said dumbly behind him.
Not long after Xue Qi entered Xue's room, Fang You and Shi Nian heard his heart-rending "A-Niang", and the two of them were also sad, crying outside the house.
"How so? How could he only kill that Xue Wan alone? Meng Shi said angrily when he heard Meng Chang's words.
Meng Chang was also pacing back and forth in the house, "Who knows that there is also a person with strong martial arts in that family, and this time it is bound to startle the snake." ”
"It's better to send someone to assassinate again." Meng Shi said viciously.
Meng Chang glared at her and said indignantly, "Do you still think I haven't been exposed enough?" These are extraordinary times, and this is the time when this should not have been done! ”
"Brother mean you're afraid they'll find out about you?" Meng Shi worried.
"I'm not afraid of that...... They can't find me here yet. Meng Chang said.
"So what is my brother worried about?" Meng Shi said curiously.
"You don't care about that." Meng Chang said.
"So what do we do next? You can't just let them start looking up, right? Meng Shi stared at Meng Chang and asked.
Meng Chang stood up and motioned to Meng, and Meng put his ear in front of him. Meng Chang muttered a few words in her ear, and when Meng heard this, he nodded with a smile.
Shi Nian didn't want to go to Zi Miaotang's appointment again, but Zi Miaotang told her that it was related to the Xue family, so Shi Nian sneaked out.
"Miss Shi," Zi Miaotang looked at the tears on her face, and said very calmly: "I don't know if you want to go to the mansion for a meal?" ”
"If you have anything to say, say it right here." Shi Nian cried for a long time because he hadn't slept all night, and said in a hoarse voice, "You just let someone say that you know something related to Aunt Xue, what is it?" ”
"It's not good to talk here, Miss Shi should give me a face and go to the house with me, how about it?" Zi Miaotang smiled gently and dignifiedly.
Shi Nian stared at her for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go with you." ”
"I haven't seen you for a long time, how is Miss Shi?" When Meng Shi saw Shi Nian, he hurriedly greeted him and asked.
"Madam, I know you came to me," Shi Nian didn't care about any etiquette at this time, and said, "Madame, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly." ”
"I just want to buy some more cloth from the girl, and this time I'm willing to pay her double the silver taels." Meng Shi still said as if he was playing dumb riddles with Shi Nian.
"Forget it," Shi Nian said before going back, "I won't have any more dealings with the people of your mansion." "Aunt Xue is already dead, why do they still want her to kill the third sister again, this time she will not listen to them for the sake of silver no matter what.
"Did Miss Shi misunderstand something?" Zi Miaotang's tactful voice came from behind her, "If the girl doesn't want to sell us any more cloth, we won't be reluctant, just read that the cloth before the girl is so delicate, and A-Niang and I want to invite the girl to have a meal." ”
"Then it's even more needless." Shi Nian was about to leave when she heard this, but she was grabbed by Zi Miaotang, pulled her over, and sat down at the dinner table.
"We know that your Aunt Xue is dead......" Meng said in her ear. Shi Nian heard her mention Aunt Xue, as if she remembered something, by the way, this Mrs. Meng had asked her about Aunt Xue before, could she know something? Thinking of this, Shi Nian was ready to accompany Mrs. Meng to finish this meal.
"Miss Shi will sit here for a while, and I'll come when I go." Meng Shi got up as he spoke, and motioned to Zi Miaotang to let her go to the back room with her.
In order to find out something from her, Shi Nian had to sit here and wait. Suddenly, I heard two little maids chewing their tongues outside the door, and I heard one of them say, "Do you know? The one our master used to like, named Xue Wan, seems to have been killed yesterday? ”
"Really? How do you know? The other maid asked.
The maid then replied: "When I passed by the master's study a few days ago, I saw a man in black in the master's room, I was curious, so I went to eavesdrop for a while, guess what I heard?" The maid asked mysteriously.
Hearing this, Shi Nian hurriedly sneaked to the back of the door and listened carefully to what the two maids said.
One of them then asked, "What do you hear?" ”
"It is said that the master didn't know where he learned that Xue Wan had a child with someone else, so he planned to find someone to kill Xue Wan and her child out of love and hatred." The maid's voice raised a little and said, "I really heard about Xue Wan's death today." ”
"No wonder......" Another maid said: "Alas, the old man seems to be kind and kind on weekdays, but I didn't expect to be so ruthless." ”
Shi Nian was already very shocked when she heard this, it turned out that the old man of the Purple Mansion was looking for someone to kill Aunt Xue out of love and hatred, thinking of this, she didn't care what Meng and Zi Miaotang were going to do, when they would come back, so she hurriedly ran home, wanting to tell Fang You about it.
"That's right," Zi Miaotang saw Shi Nian's back running away, and smiled at the two maids who deliberately chewed Shi Nian's tongue and said, "Come to my room to receive the reward when the time comes." ”
The two maids thanked them and smiled and retreated.
"Mother, is this okay? Would that Shi Nian really believe it? Zi Miaotang suddenly asked Meng Shi with some concern.
"Don't worry, you can see how anxious she looks. Besides, if she were a smart person, would I still be looking for her? Meng said.
When Shi Nian returned home, she saw that the man who often came to Fang You was also there, but she didn't think too much about it, she ran directly to Fang You, and said breathlessly: "Ah...... Ayu, do I know who the murderer is? ”
At this time, Xue Qi, who was lying on the side of Xue's bed, heard this, and hurriedly came over with red eyes, grabbed Shi Nian's shoulder tightly and asked, "Who is it?" Who is it? I'm going to kill him!! ”
Fang You also hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" ”
Shi Nian gasped twice, and then said, "Yes...... is the lord of Zifu, and he is Zi Miaotang's father. ”
"What?" When Fang You and Wei Qinghuan heard this, they were all shocked. Xue Qi couldn't stay for a moment, seeing that he was about to go out to find Zi Xiangzhi, ready to kill him to avenge his mother.
Fang You saw that he was violent, and he must not have been able to listen to anything at this time, so he stunned Xue Qi with a knife in his back, and after Wei Qinghuan carried Xue Qi back to the room, he asked Shi Nian, "Where did you know that?" ”
"The maid of the Purple Mansion is there." Shi Nian said.
