"I'm not!"

Yun Xi struggled for a moment and looked back into Old Madam Luo's eyes.

"I don't believe in revenge. If there really is revenge for the unjust souls in this world, how can those bad people who do evil be free? How can there be a good person in this world who does not pay for his life and will be a disaster for a thousand years. ”

After speaking, Yun Xi bent down to pick up the lantern that fell on the ground and quickly rushed out of the dark room. When she arrived at the door, she saw a beam of cold light stabbing towards her abdomen, she subconsciously blocked it with the lantern in her hand, the lantern swept to the man's arm, followed by the candle flame to light the lantern, and then burned the man's sleeve.

In the firelight, Yun Xi saw that the person was actually the grandmother in front of Mrs. Luo, and what she was holding in her hand was a dagger. Fortunately, the dagger was not long, and Mama was not a trained killer, otherwise it would be difficult for her to escape the secret attack she had just made.

When Mrs. Luo heard the voice, she also walked out of the dark room, and when she saw the grandmother with her sleeves burned by the fire, she only asked coldly: "Why are you here?" ”

Mama slapped the flame on her arm and said to Mrs. Luo: "As long as this child in her womb cannot be born, as long as she dies here, all problems will be solved." ”

"I said it!" Mrs. Luo stared at Mama and said word by word: "I want her to be safe and give birth to the child in her womb smoothly." Also, I don't like others to help me make up my mind, you are the old man next to me, you should know my temper the most. If you think the Luo family can't tolerate you, you can just talk to me. ”

Mama extinguished the candle on her arm and quickly knelt down at Mrs. Luo.

"Old lady, you know, the old slave didn't mean that. Everything the old slave did tonight was for you, old lady. Old Slave ...... The old slave really can't bear to look at the old lady, you embarrass yourself and wronged yourself. Young master, he can't understand your thoughts, but the old slave knows in his heart that the old slave just feels sorry for you. ”

Old Madam Luo glanced at her and did not speak.

Yun Xi pursed her lips and said to Old Madam Luo: "The words that were said in the dark room were the words of the daughter-in-law. If the mother-in-law is no longer difficult to be a daughter-in-law in the future, the daughter-in-law will be regarded as if nothing happened tonight. In the future, I will also work with my husband to be filial to my mother-in-law. ”

Old Madam Luo glanced at the night outside the ancestral hall and said, "It's not too early, you should go back!" ”

After speaking, he lit a lantern resting in the corner of the wall and handed it to Yun Xi's hand.

By the time they came down the mountain, it was already three days later. The process of taking medication and healing is thrilling, and as for the result, it will take a while to observe to be determined. Right now, judging from Xing Ruyi's pulse alone, everything is going more smoothly than expected. In addition to the fact that his body was a little weak, the chaotic air currents in his body were finally controlled.

There was only Ah Niu in the Ruyi rouge shop, and when they came back, they asked about Ruyi's condition first, and then talked about another thing.

Just three days ago, that is, on the night when Ruyi and they went out to see a doctor, the old lady of the Luo family hanged herself in her ancestral hall. The first person to find Mrs. Luo's body was the servant of the Luo family who was responsible for cleaning the ancestral hall. According to the servant, every other day he had to go to the ancestral hall to sweep, and that day was the day of cleaning, and he got up early in the morning. When I walked to the door of the ancestral hall, I felt that something was not quite right, because half of the door of the ancestral hall was open.

When he came to the door, he saw something stained on the threshold, and when he looked through the door, he saw a burning lantern thrown on the ground not far away, and beside the lantern there were some fragments that had been burned by the fire.

Just as he squeezed to see clearly, he slammed open the other half of the door. Then, he saw Mrs. Luo hanging from the beam.

"Good manner, why did this old lady Luo hang herself in the ancestral hall?"

As soon as he came down from the mountain, there was such a bizarre story to hear, and it was still related to the Luo family, it was difficult for Xing Ruyi not to cheer up. Fortunately, she is only physically weak, and her ability to think is still there. At this moment, he was leaning on the fox, frowning slightly and looking at Ah Niu.

"Where's Big Brother Chang? We haven't seen him come out since we entered, and he must not be in the rouge shop. Could it be that he was called to Luo's house by the people in the government? If Brother Chang was called to the Luo family, it would mean that the death of this old lady Luo was not pure. ”

"How does the shopkeeper know?"

Ah Niu asked with interest.

"It's very simple, if you hang yourself, Mrs. Luo only needs to be in her own room, why do you want to run to the ancestral hall at night? Could it be that she was afraid that after she died, Master Luo would not put her tablet in it, so she ran to occupy a seat before she died? This is obviously a bit counterintuitive.

But again. If there is something hidden in this ancestral hall or Mrs. Luo is particularly fond of it, it is possible to run to the ancestral hall and hang herself. The former wants to use his death to remind others that this ancestral hall is unusual, and the latter is because of some obsession of his own. But the question is, why did this old lady Luo commit suicide? ”

"The shopkeeper is the shopkeeper, and a few casual words have said a lot of points. No wonder, Brother Chang will say that you are a natural master of solving crimes. ”

Ah Niu said, Chong Ruyi stretched out a thumb.

"Don't pat me on the back, you can tell me, what are the points in what I just said?"

Xing Ruyi rubbed his skull, and swept towards Aunt Lu with a pair of pitiful eyes.

"Aunt Deer, can you make me stutter first? I don't know how the retreat is closed, but if I haven't eaten anything for the past three days, I will become another unsolved case in this Yun family gathering. I have all the titles that can be diffused by others: The prosperous Tang Dynasty, the female shopkeeper of the Ruyi Rouge Shop starved herself to death! ”

"Boom!" The fox stretched out his hand and knocked on the door of Xing Ruyi's head: "Don't talk nonsense, let alone say that dead word casually." ”

Xing Ruyi stuck out her tongue, Aunt Lu shook her head and went to the small kitchen. Naturally, the old beggar followed.

Yin Yuan didn't treat himself badly, he didn't know where he found a bag of dried fruits, and at this moment he seemed to be in a posture of continuing to listen to the story.

Xing Ruyi stretched out his hand at Yin Yuan, but Yin Yuan shook his head with a smile: "My mother is recovering from a serious illness, and it is better to eat less dried fruits." ”

Xing Ruyi lay weakly in the fox arms, and the tail of his eyes picked: "Ah Niu, please continue your story, right?" Otherwise, the shopkeeper of your house and I will only feel more and more empty and lonely in this belly. ”

Ah Niu wanted to laugh, but under the gaze of Xing Ruyi's pitiful eyes, he could only hold back the smile.

"The shopkeeper just said that if the old lady of the Luo family wants to hang herself, she can do it in her own bedroom, or even in her own yard, and there is no need to choose the ancestral hall at all. The reason why she chose the ancestral hall was because there was something hidden in the ancestral hall or something that Mrs. Luo particularly preferred.

Ah Niu also inquired in private, and the old lady of the Luo family didn't seem to have any other hobbies, but she liked this ancestral hall very much. Even if it is not the time of the sacrifice, I often take my grandmother with me to sit in it for most of the day. ”

"You don't say I haven't remembered yet. When I talked to Luo Fu and Yun Xi before, I seemed to have heard them mention it. In the Luo family, if you are reprimanded by Mrs. Luo, the place you choose will usually be this ancestral hall. I originally thought that this was just a lot of rules for big families. In addition to being eerie and terrifying, the ancestral hall is also more serious, and it is suitable for setting rules for juniors. Now, thinking of what you just said, I really think that this old lady Luo's preferences are a little different. ”

"Do you want to know why this old lady Luo's preferences are different?"

"Why?" Xing Ruyi glanced at Ah Niu: "Okay, you little Ah Niu, it's just been a year, and you have learned to sell with the shopkeeper." Hurry up and say that when your shopkeeper is hungry, he usually has little patience, but he has a big temper. ”

"The reason why the old lady of the Luo family likes that ancestral hall so much is because she hides something in the ancestral hall, a dark room."

"Dark room? In this big family, it seems to be quite normal to have a few dark rooms and dark compartments. Especially for this kind of business and business, not only do they have a lot of valuable things at home, but they also have a lot of cash and silver tickets, and it is normal to hide them in order to prevent them from being stolen or taken privately. After all, not all business people can be as big as me, and the silver ticket is casually placed on the table. ”

"Mother's heart is not big, but forgetful."

Yin Yuan didn't care about the relationship between mother and son at all, and pierced her with a single word.

Xing Ruyi snorted lightly, and urged Ah Niu to say: "Hurry up and tell me, what is hidden in the dark room of the Luo family's ancestral hall?" Gold and silver jewelry, or full of silver tickets? ”

"The shopkeeper is a real money fan!" Ah Niu said, gesturing in mid-air. Although Xing Ruyi looked at it seriously, he didn't see what he was comparing to. As soon as he wanted to ask, he heard Ah Niu say: "If there are gold, silver, jewelry and full of silver tickets hidden in the ancestral hall of the Naluo family, there is no need for our family master to come forward." There is a woman hidden in the dark room of the Luo family ancestral hall, and it is still a woman who has been dead for more than ten years. I heard from the people who came back from the excitement that the work in the government office was verified on the spot, saying that when the woman died, she was already pregnant with Liujia. In the tea bowl in the darkroom, some black dirt was also found, which was speculated to be some kind of poison. For though the woman was dead, her body was not decomposed, and no fatal wounds were found on her body. Presumably, it is more likely that he was poisoned. ”

"Who is the deceased, can you find out?"

"You don't have to look it up at all." Ah Niu waved his hand: "When the old man just said that the woman who died in the dark room was a woman who was pregnant with Liujia, the old man of the Luo family was blindfolded in an instant, and his body swayed. If it weren't for Young Master Luo and Young Lady supporting them, everyone would have thrown themselves to the ground. Without waiting for the people in the mansion to ask, Master Luo stumbled into the dark room, and with just one glance, he cried and called out a name - Xi'er! Guess the shopkeeper, who is this guy? ”

"The person who can make Master Luo cry and call out his name is either his relatives or his beloved. This person died in the dark room with Liujia in her arms, and the old lady of the Luo family especially loved this ancestral hall, so it can be inferred that this deceased must be the concubine of Master Luo! ”
