Chapter 240: Juxiang Pillow (8)
"This ghost is not necessarily brought by the eldest lady, but it must have something to do with the eldest lady." Xing Ruyi tugged at the corners of her mouth: "The hell is the nurse after the eldest lady enters?" The eldest lady fell ill and became blind, also after she got started. The third young master was injured and fell into a coma, and all of this happened after the eldest lady entered. Is all of this just a coincidence? ”
"Although these happened after my sister-in-law entered the door, there is no necessary connection between them, and my sister-in-law has rarely walked out of the yard between her and her eldest brother since she entered the door, so Jing Liang doesn't think these things have anything to do with my sister-in-law."
"Second Brother Su misunderstood, didn't Ruyi mean that? In this series of incidents, the eldest lady is also one of the victims, so Ruyi's thoughts are just the opposite of you, Second Brother Su. ”
"What do you mean?"
"Someone has done something behind her back, and it's very likely that these things are directed against the eldest lady. I once asked Liu Er, after the death of the eldest lady, can this house still be peaceful? Liu Er told me that after the death of the eldest lady, there were no more rumors of haunting in the house, except for the incident of shallow coma. ”
"Ruyi girl, you may be thinking too much, our Su Mansion doesn't have those miscellaneous things." Su Jingliang said, secretly relieved.
"Maybe Second Brother Su is right, there is no connection between these things in the first place." Xing Ruyi said, bowing her head: "Ruyi traveled this time, she was originally returning to her hometown with her husband, and she didn't bring many medicinal materials. Therefore, I have to trouble Second Brother Su to go out to help Ruyi purchase some, shallow diseases, and they still need to be carefully recuperated. ”
With that, he took out a piece of paper that was written slowly and handed it to Su Jingliang.
Su Jingliang didn't even look at it, and directly put it away.
"Miss Ruyi, don't worry, these medicinal materials will be delivered by noon at the latest!"
"Trouble Second Brother Su!"
"Where is it, it should be our Su family's troublesome girl." After Su Jingliang finished speaking, he hesitated a little, and added: "Just now, the girl will talk to me, and in a few days, my eldest brother should come back." He has a deep affection for my sister-in-law, although these words are nothing, but they are listened to by this person who is very affectionate, I am afraid that he will think more. ”
"Second Brother Su, don't worry, Ruyi just called you out, and these words are just to talk to you."
"That's good!" After Su Jingliang finished speaking, he said goodbye to them and went out to buy medicine.
The fox squinted, "You said those words to Su Jingliang on purpose, right?" ”
"No, I just called him out, and it's always a little strange if I don't talk a few words nonsense." Xing Ruyi made a playful grimace: "It's almost time, if there is really that thing in this courtyard, it should be brought out at this time." ”
"If the bell knows that you use soul-attracting incense for her sister-in-law, I'm afraid that she will never recognize you as a wishful aunt from now on." The fox shook his head: "Be careful later." Although from Siniang's mouth, I know that there is nothing malicious in that thing, but the ghost's mind is always difficult to guess, you use soul-attracting incense to lure her, but I am afraid that she may not be happy by herself. ”
"Can she be happy or not? Since she dared to make trouble in this courtyard and found Siniang's head, she should have the consciousness of being beaten. ”
Xing Ruyi is very protective of shortcomings, especially for those who care about himself, and it is a little unreasonable to protect his shortcomings. The fox had no choice but to let her go. Anyway, with his own presence, that little ghost can't make any waves.
Returning to the room, Xing Ruyi couldn't help but shudder.
Seeing this, the fox hugged her in his arms, and then instructed Li Mao, who was waiting outside, to go to the carriage and get a thick cloak for Xing Ruyi.
In the room, the bell had fallen asleep at the head of the bed because of the effect of soul-attracting incense. Siniang's breathing is also very even, it seems that she didn't have any nightmares this time.
As the fragrance of the soul-attracting incense became stronger and stronger, the shadow that suddenly appeared in the room became clearer and clearer, and finally showed the appearance that Siniang had described to them in the morning. It was a slightly old face, with strange twisted facial features, which did not look natural, but as if it had been affected by an external force.
Xing Ruyi thought about it carefully, well, it was very similar to the kind of picture that appeared when he was naughty when he was a child and pressed his face against the glass. When the ghost saw Xing Ruyi and the fox, he was taken aback at first, and then slowly took two steps back, "Are you the mage that Miss found?" I beg you, don't take me, I have never repented of what I promised Miss, I have not told anyone about those things. I just want to get out of here! ”
"Miss? Could the young lady in your mouth be the fourth young lady of the Su family, Su Qianqian? Xing Ruyi didn't expect things to go more smoothly than she imagined, she hadn't asked anything yet, but the old ghost said it himself.
The old ghost nodded, and took a step back, apparently trying to escape.
"Since we can lure you out, we are completely sure that you will not be able to escape, so we had better sit down and talk. Oh, in addition, I'm not a mage invited by Su Qianqian, just a passer-by who has nothing to do with your Su family and happens to be passing by here. Please come out because you scared my family last night, so I need to ask you properly. Of course, I'm a more enthusiastic person, if you have something unspeakable, you can also talk to me, if I'm in a good mood, I can help you. Well? Nurse! ”
"You? How do you know I'm a nurse! ”
"It's very simple, because there is only one old woman who has disappeared in this Su Mansion so far, and that is Su Qianqian's nurse who can't see anyone alive or dead. In this world, how can there be a real person who does not see people alive and dead without seeing corpses. I can't see anyone alive, I can only say that this person is hiding. You are the nurse of the Su family, and you are also the wife of the former housekeeper of the Su family, and most of your children are also on errands in the Su family, so I can't think of any reason for you to hide, or even stay away from the Su family.
As for the dead body, it is most likely that the body was hidden by the perpetrators. Your soul appeared here, and you just said that you just want to get out of here, so I guess your body must have been hidden here by the murderer. This room has a courtyard, it is a relatively special existence in Su Mansion, although it is a guest room, but there are no guests staying all year round, and those who can hide you here must be people inside the Su family. Yes and no? ”
The nurse nodded again.
"Okay, now can you tell me how you were killed? Is your murder related to Su Qianqian? ”
The nurse hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.
"Don't worry, what you and I said today is unknown to others. Besides, you have been killed, can you still expect the murderer to spare your family, your children? If she had the heart to let you go, you wouldn't be standing here talking to me, would you? ”
The nurse kept her head down, not knowing what she was thinking. Xing Ruyi swept her eyes at the soul-attracting incense, most of it had already been burned, and when the incense was burned, she might not be willing to come out to see them if she wanted to find the nurse.
"Are you worried about Su Qianqian? If so, there is no need to, because Su Qianqian's current situation is not much better than yours. She was in a coma and has not woken up yet, and the reason why my family and I appeared in the Su family was also at the request of the second son of your Su family to treat Su Qianqian's illness. Of course, it is I who cures the disease, and it is up to me to decide whether or not to cure it or not, and to what extent. So, can you rest assured? ”
"Miss is unconscious?" The nurse was slightly taken aback, and opened her somewhat deformed mouth and said, "I know who killed Miss, it's the third son!" ”
"Su Jingrui?" Xing Ruyi's eyes dimmed.
"Miss, she has always liked the eldest young master, since the eldest lady entered the door, she has been very unhappy, and always comes to me in private, how can I make the eldest young master hate the eldest lady? I persuaded her not to have that kind of thought, although she was not born to the old lady, but in the end, she was raised in the Su family, and she was also raised in the Su family since she was a child, and the brother-sister relationship between her and the eldest young master cannot be changed by others. But Miss, she didn't listen at all. ”
"Su Qianqian is not the child born to Master Su and Mrs. Su?"
"That's right! The young lady was bought from outside by the master. I remember that it was the third anniversary of my young lady, oh, the young lady I am talking about is my original young lady, that is, the cousin of the old man, the former eldest lady of the Su family. Because the master turned his back on her, she chose to commit suicide, and even when she returned to the soul, her soul did not come back, and she was very decisive.
But the old man still has affection for Miss Cousin, and he goes to worship her every year. That year, many places were devastated. On the way back to the Su family, the old man met a poor mother and daughter. The old man was soft-hearted, so he gave them some silver, but the mother didn't want the silver, so she begged the master to take away the baby girl in her arms, saying that even if she was brought back to our house to be a maid, it would be better than starving to death with her.
The old man originally refused, but when he saw the face of the baby girl, his heart relented. Because this baby girl is very much like a young lady, especially those eyes. The old man married a wife, and then took a concubine, and all of them were sons, and there happened to be a lack of a young lady, so he brought the baby girl back and fed her as the fourth lady of the Su family. I don't know if it's deliberately arranged by God, Miss Qianqian, not only does she look more and more like Miss Cousin, but even her temperament is a little similar, and she is also very close to that yard. Although Madame didn't say anything, she still had a bit of a grudge against Miss. ”
"Could it be that this shallow really has something to do with the deceased cousin of your family?"
"Probably not, it's just a coincidence! On the day that Miss Cousin committed suicide by hanging the beam, we were all there, although we didn't go in, but the master came out with her body. At that time, the old man was very sad and very sad, and even the funeral of Miss Cousin was done by him, and even the lady could not ask and touch his hands. Because of this incident, Miss Cousin's mother's side and the Su family have also broken off contact, let alone sending a baby girl over, it doesn't make any sense at all, right?
Besides, Madame, she actually suspected the origin of Miss Qianqian, and she also secretly called me over to inquire, and I told the truth. Madame also sent someone to investigate the woman who gave Miss Qianqian to the lord back then, but it was a famine year, and I don't know if that person is still alive or has already died, so naturally I can't find out the clue. ”
"Su Qianqian is becoming more and more like your cousin, and there is also a possibility, that is, your lord deliberately wants to make her exactly the same as the cousin of the year, because he misses the old, and in his selfish heart, he hopes that person is still alive."
"Listening to the girl say this, there are some possibilities. Because Madame didn't like Miss, I took care of her after the lord brought her back to the house. At that time, I had just given birth to our youngest son, so I became the lady's nurse by the way. Usually teach the young lady the rules, and the people who teach the young lady to read are also the masters themselves, this kind of treatment is not experienced by the other three young masters in the house. Because of this, Miss Qianqian is very favored in the house. ”
"What about you? Since Su Qianqian is very favored in the Su family, as her nurse, your identity should be unusual. Besides, even if she likes her eldest brother and is not born to Mrs. Su, what does it have to do with your murder? ”
