Chapter 24: Playing the Devil
The 100-day banquet can be described as extremely lively, the rewards in the palace are constantly sent, and the officials below follow suit and come to the door one after another, and the gifts received by the Rui Wangfu are almost unfillable.
Sister Yu's pink carving is jade, and she loves to laugh when she teases, which is very cute.
Jiao Niang remembered that when she and Rou Niang were teasing Sister Yu in Hua Meiniang's bedroom, Lord Rui came in unexpectedly, she turned around suddenly and crashed into the deep eyes.
There was a chill for no reason, and the girl hugged her arms and pulled away from the memories of the past.
Hearing footsteps walking in, Jiao Niang turned around, "Are you ready?"
Shui Xiang nodded and approached her, she was holding a tray in her hand, and in the tray was a bowl containing a blood-red liquid, "This is the chicken blood that the slave just stole from the kitchen, no one saw it." ”
Jiao Niang dipped her fingers in the mirror, wiped them in the corner of her eyes, her lips, today she pounced on a thick layer of powder, as white as wallpaper, and the rolling blood beads broke through the ravines on her face, like a ghost from hell, terrifying and terrifying.
She spread her hair in a bun and draped it messily, changed into a long coat with small flowers on a white background, and soaked her hands in the ice water for a while, before she walked out of the room and walked softly towards the third aunt's room.
Entering the house, Shui Xiang bolted the door to the outside, and only the moonlight that came in through the hollow out of the window gave the room a little light.
I saw a person lying on the ground, Qing Huan was standing next to her, Jiao Niang waved at her, and she hid in a dark corner.
Jiao Niang squatted down, patted the face of the person lying on the ground, and called softly: "Mother Li?
Mother Li was dizzy, half-asleep, half-asleep, when she heard the call, frowned, and opened her eyelids in a daze for a long time, "Who?"
Jiao Niang lowered her head, deliberately lowered her voice, and followed her aunt's voice, "Mother Li, look at who I am?"
As soon as she opened her eyes, the room was dark again, and Mother Li rubbed her eyes before it gradually became clearer.
"Ahh......h Who are you?" She was so frightened that she couldn't see the seven spirits.
Jiao Niang approached her with a weird smile on her face, "You take a good look and see clearly, why haven't you seen me for so long, you don't know my old master?"
"Are you...... Are you ......" Mother Li first looked at the clothes she was wearing, and then looked at her face carefully, and her eyes were as big as copper bells, so frightened that beads of sweat burst out on her forehead, "Three...... Third aunt, you are the third aunt. ”
"Mother Li finally remembered me, I thought that you followed the new master, and you had already forgotten about me, the old master. ”
Jiao Niang is a little like the third aunt, and then she deliberately dresses up, there are no tens, but six or seven points of similarity.
In addition, during this time, Jiao Niang has been adding nerve-disturbing drugs to her bird's nest, which makes her have nightmares and confusion, and it is not surprising to regard her as a third aunt.
Mother Li was so frightened that she stepped back, got up with her hands and feet, turned around and hit the screen, the third aunt on the screen seemed to be a real person, she saw the smile of the person in the painting gradually become hideous, stretched out her hands from the painting to grab her, screamed in fright, and begged for mercy.
"Mother Li, what have you done to be so afraid of me?" Jiao Niang came from behind her in a deep voice.
Mother Li suddenly came back to her senses, and collapsed directly to the ground, trembling like a sieve, "Slave maid...... The slave and maid have no ......"
"No, then how did I die?" said the lady and grabbed her hand.
The coldness transmitted by the hands seemed to seep into her limbs from the skin, and Mother Li hurriedly shook off Jiao Niang's hand and wanted to scream, but found that she couldn't scream at all, as if she was choked by her throat.
She curled herself up in a ball, hugged her head, and only repeated, "It has nothing to do with slaves and maids, and slaves don't want to, they really don't do slave things." ”
Jiao Niang forcibly tore her hand away and forced her to face her, "You dare to say that it has nothing to do with you, if it has nothing to do with you, why are you so afraid of me, and you let me spare you something." Look at your hands, they are stained with my blood, do you remember?
Mother Li cried bitterly, she didn't even dare to look at Jiao Niang, she turned her face away and closed her eyes, "I don't want to, I don't want to, someone forced me to do this." She said that if I didn't do what she said, she would kill me and my whole family. ”
Jiao Niang moved her face and said closely, "So you killed me?"
Mother Li just cried.
"What did she make you do?"
"She gave me a packet of realgar and told me to add more to your daily medicine. At first, I didn't dare to do it, for fear that it would be revealed. She said not to worry, there was already a little realgar in the third aunt's prescription as medicine, but the amount was added, and others couldn't detect it. ”
is so poisonous and delicate, with such a method, even if someone is suspicious and checks the slag, he will not suspect anything.
"Who is that person?" Jiao Niang's eyes were scarlet, and it seemed that the blood on her face really came out of her eyes.
Mother Li's wrist was almost pinched by her and did not return blood, and her face became more and more pale, "Yes...... Be...... It's ......"
Jiao Niang's anger erupted from her chest like raging magma, "Who?
"Yes...... It's a big ......" Li's mother's trance suddenly woke up, "No, I'...... I don't know, I can't say, she's going to kill me, she's going to kill my whole family, I can't say. ”
Suddenly, she pushed Jiao Niang away, ran to the door, and slapped the door frame, but she couldn't open it, her back was against the door, and she slid to the ground little by little, "Third aunt, let me go, let me go." I really didn't mean to kill you, and I had no choice but to kill you. ”
Jiao Niang approached her step by step, and there was a strange ethereal hint in her voice, "Let you go? Then why did you ever think of letting me go? Since you don't say who instructed you, I can only put this account on your head and drag you to hell with me." When you get below, pull out the root of your tongue, cut your fingers, fry and peel the skin, and I'm not afraid that you won't tell the truth!"
"No, no, don't come here, don't come here!" Mother Li's screams soared into the sky, waving her arms wildly, "I don't go to hell, I don't go to hell!"
"If you don't want to go to hell, you go to the master with me now, repeat what you just said to him, and tell him who instructed you, otherwise, I will pull you down now." ”
Mother Li was frightened and nodded again and again, "Okay, okay." Then he shook his head, "No, no. She was completely stupefied, repeating "good" and "no" over and over again.
At this time, there were three knocks on the door, and it was the people in the house who came back.
Jiao Niang's fierce gaze passed over Mother Li, raised her face to let Qing Huan open the door, and as soon as the door opened, Mother Li seemed to see the sun, and crawled out of the yard with a shout.
