"How do you know?" Xing Ruyi blinked his eyes: "Oh, I almost forgot, you are a nine-tailed fox spirit, and there is nothing in this world that can hide from you." Well, I'll tell you all. Sister, she was indeed poisoned, and it was a hook kiss, under normal circumstances, she would definitely die, but who called her lucky, met me, I helped her seal her heart in time, and used silver needles to force out most of the toxins in her body, so it was a good way to protect her life. ”

"Since she is alive, why did you leave her in the Wang family and let her marry the youngest son of Li Tai, the squire of the military department? Ruyi, what exactly are you thinking? Will it get yourself in trouble? ”

"Don't worry, I've arranged it all and won't cause myself any trouble. As for why she left her sister in the Wang family, she deliberately contributed to her secret marriage with Li Hu, because she and Li Hu were originally destined in their previous lives. When I rescued my sister, I went to the underworld, and I also took a look at her past and present lives in your name, and then I found out that she and Li Hu were actually married in a previous life, but unfortunately, I didn't get any good results in that life. In this life, the two of them have no fate or separation, but they make mistakes, or it can be said that God intends to fulfill it, so that the Wang family can do such a thing.

I wasn't sure that I would be able to save my sister at the time, so I didn't stop the marriage between the Wang family and the Li family. As for the next thing, if my sister is willing, she will keep this secret marriage, anyway, she will not have a long life and there is no marriage between her and others, if she is unwilling, I can also help her cut it off, and if I want to come to Li Hu's ghost, I don't dare to pester my sister in front of me. ”

"Yes, my Ruyi is the most fierce ghost in the world!" The fox scratched the tip of Xingruyi's nose and said seriously: "Actually, you don't have to explain anything to me, you know, the reason why I asked you is because I am worried that the things you are in charge of will bring you danger." The fox looked into Xing Ruyi's eyes, "Also, you know that I am a fox fairy, so if there is something dangerous, you can leave it to me." ”

"I know that if it's really dangerous, I'll look for you. It's just that this thing is very easy to do, so I want to do it myself. Xing Ruyi said, calling Yin Yuan, who was still gnawing on the chicken legs: "Go and tell Brother Chang, this Wang family's crime is not to death, Qiaoqiao and her sister are still alive." ”

"Why? It is better for this kind of wicked person to die. ”

"It doesn't matter if she dies, let's look at Wang Laifu's face. Such a kind and honest man, he can't make him too uncomfortable. Xing Ruyi patted Yin Yuan on the back: "The so-called evil is rewarded with evil, and good is rewarded with good, don't you think that for the Wang family, it is more punitive to be guilty alive than to die for a hundred?" Besides, her longevity is not over, even if we don't let her go today, we can exchange a chance in the future, so why not leave this favor to Brother Chang. ”

This time, Yin Yuan didn't refute, he gnawed on the chicken legs, stepped on his calves, and got into the crowd. After a while, Chang Tai walked out with Yin Yuan in his arms, and when he saw Xing Ruyi, he only asked, "Are they all alive?" ”

"Well, alive."

"You saved it?"

"Well, I saved it."

"Okay, I'll go and tell the lord and let him be punished lightly, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped."

"It's exactly what I want, there's Brother Lao Chang."

There is no superfluous conversation between the two, what you want to ask, I know, I answer, even if you don't know, you won't ask. This is probably the most beautiful relationship in the world, that is, you believe in me no matter when, where, and under all circumstances.

Xing Ruyi's nose was a little sour, she sucked hard, thinking that it was time to help Chang Tai find someone she liked.

The girl who married in the dark was chosen, the day of the burial was set, and the matter of the youngest son Li Hu was finally about to fall. Li Tai's hanging heart also let go a little. He gently bowed his forehead, stood in the courtyard for a while, and finally chose to go to the lady's room.

Li Tai's wife is also from an official eunuch's family, although his father-in-law is no longer in the court, his protégés and disciples are in important positions. Although he gave birth to a younger son, his body is delicate, and his illness is crooked, but the only eldest son is also where this lady is, so whether it is from the future or personal feelings, Li Tai still has some affection for his wife.

Since the lady gave birth to her youngest son, she has devoted herself to worshipping the Buddha, and she has become much less concerned about the affairs between husband and wife, and as for Li Taina's concubines, she doesn't care about them. Those concubines, no matter what their conduct, will not take the initiative to provoke this eldest lady, the reason is very simple, because they know that although the lady seems to be unfavorable, in fact, her status is difficult to shake.

Right now, there are many things in the house, and those concubines have also put away their tails and are low-key people one by one. Li Tai felt bored, and he cared about his dead youngest son, so he spent most of the past few days in his wife's room. Mrs. Li's side neither expressed joy nor was she very cold, it seemed to be near but not close, and it seemed to be far away from it, but it made Li Tai feel comfortable.

When he entered the room, he smelled a strange fragrance, although the smell was not strong, but it faintly provoked his nerves. When I looked up, I saw that the lady, who had always only been willing to sit in front of the Buddhist altar, changed her mind tonight and sat in front of the vanity mirror. With his slender back and long black hair, he suddenly seemed to be back in the years when he had just gotten married.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that the estrangement between the lady and him is not all because of the health of the youngest son, but because he took the first concubine back at that time. When the lady held their little son all day long, worried that she could not eat or sleep, he excused himself to be upset, and stayed in the concubine's room all day long, drinking and having fun with her, and rejoicing all day long. When he got tired of it and remembered his wife again, she had been chanting Buddha behind closed doors for two years, and she didn't even give him a smile.

Li Tai felt guilty in his heart, so he took more care of his youngest son, and because of his wife's cold face, he didn't want to see her more and more, and he was afraid to see her. If you think about it, many years have passed.

He sighed lightly, walked behind his wife, and saw a box of newly purchased rouge resting on her dresser, the name of which was very simple, the word "魄".

"Madame, why did you remember to dress up today?" After speaking, Li Tai hurriedly added: "I don't mean anything else for my husband, it's just that over the years, my wife has been plain and plain, and when I saw these things tonight, I was a little curious, so I just asked." ”

"Plain clothes?" Mrs. Li touched her face, and then looked into the bronze mirror: "When Hu'er was still there, he always said that I was too plain, and he said that if I wore makeup, I would look much better than his aunts." But at the time, I didn't care, and I didn't pay attention to the meaning of his words. Now that I think about it, he is afraid that I am not good-looking, that I am not close to you, that I have not been able to keep his father well, and that I don't care about anything, so that those aunts will compete for favor every day, and make this huge Li Mansion a miasma. ”

"These are all the husband's faults. If Madame doesn't like it, I'll scatter them tomorrow. Li Tai stepped forward and gently shook his wife's hand, and suddenly felt that these hands seemed to have never changed in the past ten years. Looking at the slightly painted face, it is still charming, and even the fine lines faintly appearing at the corners of the eyes seem to just add a few years of style to this face.

He leaned over and wanted to kiss lightly, but Mrs. Li withdrew her hand and stood up.

"The master misunderstood, the reason why the concubine asked the girl to buy this rouge was just to want Hu'er to take a look at his mother's makeup when he left. I want Hu'er to know that over the years, although she has been plain and plain, her concubine is not bitter physically and mentally. The concubine is unwilling to be close to the master, and she is unwilling to compete for favor with those aunts, not because the concubine can't compete for anything, but because she doesn't bother to fight at all, and she doesn't disdain to let the lord favor. ”

"Madame"

"If the master is sleepy, please rest in peace, the concubine still has to chant Buddha!"

Li Tai gritted his teeth, looked at the back of Mrs. Li who was about to leave, and suddenly pounced, and then ignored Mrs. Li's struggle, picked her up by the waist, threw her on the bed, and then bullied her and pressed down

This night, Li Tai did not dream of the little concubine who hanged herself, nor did she dream of the embroidered shoes that kept shaking in front of his eyes, but came to the Nai He Bridge in a leisurely manner.

He knew that before crossing the bridge, he had to drink a bowl of Meng Po soup, which was said to be made with forgetful water, and after drinking it, he could get rid of all the dust in the world. But he was powerful in the world, with mansions, countless wives and concubines, and the gold, silver and jewels in the treasury that he did not have time to enjoy and squander, and he did not want to forget these prematurely.

However, if he doesn't drink this soup, he won't be able to cross the Nai Ho Bridge, and if he can't cross the Nai Ho Bridge, he won't be able to reach Hades, and he will become a lonely ghost wandering in this world. If it is discovered by a ghost or a Taoist priest, it will be beaten and scattered. was hesitating, Meng Po sent over a bowl of soup: "Official, drink!" You are content enough in this life! ”

Li Tai took a step back, looked at the Meng Po soup that was as light as water, and said with a little regret: "If I die, my mansion will become someone else's, and those concubines, they will also become someone else's." And my money, which I haven't had time to spend yet. ”

"Those are all things outside the body, and they don't belong to the officials in the first place." Meng Po said faintly, and sent the Meng Po soup in her hand forward.

Li Tai made a fuss, he stared at those eyes that were not too big, and was furious: "Why doesn't it belong to me?" I earned the house by myself, I paid for the concubine, and even the silver taels in the treasury were saved by myself one by one. ”

"Dare to ask officials, how much is it to be an official for a year?"

"Is this what you should ask?" Li Tai said, blocking with his hand. The hand touched the bowl, and the bowl fell to the ground, and Meng Po soup was spilled on the ground.

Li Tai panicked, he was a little overwhelmed. Because after all, this is the territory of the underworld and belongs to the jurisdiction of the king of Hades, although this Meng Po's official position is not high, but after all, he is responsible for distributing Meng Po soup, which is a very important position, and he may be able to speak in front of the king of Hades. If you offend her, it's hard to know what the consequences will be.

He thought of various means to resolve the crisis in the yang world, and finally found a piece of jade and handed it to Meng Po: "This is the jade that is paid tribute by southern Xinjiang, which is not only very rare, but also very valuable. You take it, find a good errand again, don't sell Meng Po soup here. ”

Meng Po smiled and looked at Li Tai with a mocking gaze.

Li Tai became more and more flustered, looked left and right, lowered his voice and said, "Don't talk about this matter of breaking Meng Po Soup." It's just a bowl of soup, and you know that no one else knows. ”
