At the back door of the British Mansion, Zhu Luan was bound with his hands tied and boarded the carriage accompanied by two stout mothers-in-law.

Old lady Bai stood at the door with a cane.

"Nine girls, don't blame me for being ruthless." The old man looked at her indifferently, "When Princess Jinyang and Duan Erlang leave Huizhou, I will send someone to bring you back." ”

The girl in front of her looked at her calmly, and since the child said that he would not speak anymore, he really didn't say a word since.

For some reason, Mrs. Bai felt a little uncomfortable.

Living to this age, no matter how ruthless he is, he has done all the cruel things, and his heart has already been hardened and cannot be harder.

If this girl was still crying and scolding like before, Mrs. Bai might feel a lot better now. Now this kind of silent behavior makes people feel that the Zhu family owes her.

The girl didn't speak quietly, but her big eyes seemed to be able to speak, and they were bright and compelling.

After glancing at it, Old Lady Bai turned around and stopped looking at her.

It's really the last and the last is not worry-free.

"Send her away." Old Lady Bai sighed and waved her hand to the escort who was driving.

The wheels of the carriage turned, and it drove along the path towards Zhuangzi.

It wasn't until the sound of the carriage was completely silent that Old Lady Bai turned around.

"Old Chen's family, do you think I did something wrong?" Old lady Bai said lightly.

"No, the old lady is also thinking about the whole house," Mrs. Chen, who was standing beside the old lady Bai, raised her eyes to look at the old lady Bai, a trace of sorrow flashed in her eyes, and said with relief, "It's not easy for you, and when Miss Nine becomes sensible in the future, I think I will definitely be able to understand your hard work." ”

"Sensible?" Old Lady Bai suddenly smiled bitterly, "Why do I think she is sensible enough now?" Since the last time he walked out of the water, it was as if the child had fallen into an evil spirit. ”

"I don't even know this child anymore," she wondered, "do you think she was instructed or possessed by something dirty?" ”

"This ......" Mrs. Chen was also confused, "Miss Jiu's face is ruddy and her eyes are bright, not like she has been hit by dirty things." ”

"That's someone instigated," Old Lady Bai clenched her hand holding the cane, "I asked you to investigate the people around Jiu Yatou before, do you have any results?" ”

"The people who are close to her are almost dead," Mrs. Chen replied, "I haven't found anything special about the others, and I haven't even seen the Duke and Mrs. Guo after walking through the water, but ......," she muttered, "That little girl named Yuying was originally a rough girl who sprinkled and swept the outer courtyard of Qiushui Pavilion, and she has been left by Miss Jiu after she walked out of the water, and Miss Nine picked it up from outside back then, and she hasn't asked yet." ”

"Where's that little girl now?" Hearing this, Old Taijun Bai frowned, "Call her, I'll ask her personally." ”

……

……

In the firewood room, Yuying was dozing off against the pyre, and with a squeak, the locked door suddenly opened.

Pierced by the penetrating light, Yuying yawned and opened her eyes.

Mrs. Chen stood at the door with the backlight, her old face cloudy.

"The old lady wants to see you, come with me."

"Huh?" Before Yuying could react, two stout servants rushed in behind Mrs. Chen, and pulled Yuying from the ground and dragged her out of the firewood room.

Yuying scolded all the way and was dragged to the main courtyard of Shou'an Hall.

Old Lady Bai sat on the main seat with a majestic face.

"Say," she raised her voice, "have you seen anyone lately?" What's the unusual behavior? How did she find the entrance to the tunnel? ”

"Why should I tell you?" Yu Ying looked at Mrs. Bai with a strange expression, "I am Miss's person, and I will not divulge Miss's affairs to you." The little girl tensed her face, trying to make herself look righteous and awe-inspiring.

"Don't toast and don't eat and drink," Mrs. Chen sneered behind her, "Old Taijun asked you well, but you didn't answer, do you have to break a few fingers to learn to speak well?" ”

Yuying's eyes widened when she heard this, and she clenched her hand, "You...... How dare you ......"

"What don't you dare," Mrs. Chen's laughter became more and more eerie, "where do you think you are now?" She approached the little girl and broke her hand away, "These fingers are really beautiful, if you break your fingers one by one like breaking branches, I wonder if you will be as hard as you are now?" ”

As soon as the words fell, a small ball of paper suddenly rolled off Yuying's palm and rolled to the ground.

"What is this?" Mrs. Chen was surprised.

"Huh?" Mrs. Bai picked up a cup of tea and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"I don't know what this girl is hiding in her hand," Mrs. Chen picked up the paper ball on the ground and couldn't help laughing: "I thought it was a treasure, just a broken paper ball." ”

"Give it back to me," Yuying bounced off the ground, "this is what Miss left for me!" ”

Mrs. Chen dodged the little girl's outstretched hand. "Miss Nine left it for you?" Mrs. Chen glanced at the old lady Bai who was sitting on the top suspiciously.

"Take a look." Old Lady Bai spoke.

A mother-in-law held down Yuying, who was still struggling, and Mrs. Chen stepped forward quickly, holding the paper ball in the palm of her hand and handing it to Mrs. Bai.

The paper ball was soaked with sweat from the little girl's palms, dirty.

"Old Chen's family, you open it and show it to me." Old Lady Bai glanced at it and said with some disgust.

Mrs. Chen opened the paper ball, which was nothing more than ordinary straw paper, which had become crumpled, and the middle was full of pores and pits, and the edges of the pores and pits revealed scorched marks.

"It's ...... Words? Mrs. Chen didn't dare to take a closer look, and pinched it with her fingers and carried it to Mrs. Bai's eyes.

It is indeed a word, but it seems to have been burned out of fire, and it can barely be recognized by stroke by stroke.

Old Taijun Bai was old, and her eyes were a little dizzy, so she commanded, "Old Chen's family, you are literate, read it out and listen to it." ”

The pores burned out of the paper form two characters with somewhat complex strokes.

"This seems to be written as ......" Mrs. Chen flipped the paper over, squinting her eyes to meet the light and carefully identifying it.

"Ghost Bird?"

As soon as her words fell, a crisp sound was heard, the teacups on the ground shattered, the tea splashed, and the old lady Bai's own shoes were soaked.

What's wrong with the old lady?

Mrs. Chen was startled, she was busy looking, but she saw that the old lady Bai, who was originally sitting comfortably in the chair, stood up, looking stunned, and her hand was still empty.

Apparently not angry and smashed the teacup, but seemed to slip out of his hand.

"What's written on it?" Old Taijun Bai asked, and before Mrs. Chen could answer, she pointed to Yuying, who was pressed to the ground, and ordered, "Old Chen's family, you come and press this girl, and everyone else will go down." ”

It seemed that because of excessive nervousness, Old Lady Bai's hands trembled.

has been serving the old lady for fifty years, and Mrs. Chen has rarely seen the old lady so out of shape.

"This paper ......" Mrs. Chen took the crumpled note in her hand, only to feel that it suddenly became like a hot potato.

"Bring it," Mrs. Bai took the tattered note from Mrs. Chen's hand with trembling hands.

All the servants who were waiting around went down, and the door of the main hall of Shou'an Hall was tightly closed.

"How so? How would she know? Mrs. Bai looked at this note repeatedly, and the burned words were crooked, looking like they had been written in a hurry, and they were uglier than the words of the little doll.

But it was indeed recognizable that it was those two words.

It is these two words that constitute the nightmare that Bai Lao Taijun will never forget in this life.

It was like a fire burning on her heart, and Old Taijun Bai's already solidified mind suddenly collapsed.

"Bring me back that obstacle."

The old woman gritted her teeth and squeezed out this sentence from between her teeth.
