On the day of the Qing'er incident, Li You made it clear that no one in the courtyard was allowed to say a word outside, although people couldn't help but talk about it in private, but most of them were still measured, and they didn't dare to chew their tongues outside Huanhuaxuan.

Now that my wife has the news, even the details are clear, and it is obvious that someone has informed. Although it shows that this person has made meritorious contributions, looking at the face of the third young master, he doesn't seem to think so. Everyone knows in their hearts, the third young master has been a kind little master since he was a child, and the first time he sent such a big fire to deal with the people below, he hid it from his superiors, and suddenly he was inserted by his wife, and his face was really a little unbearable. What must have annoyed him even more was that there were people in the girl who dared to disobey his orders and report to his wife without authorization, such a person, even if he had a bad face in his wife's face, he had to find out.

Lan Xiang and the others obviously thought of this, and they all hung their heads and stood aside, not daring to speak. Chen'er felt Li You's burning gaze falling on her, looked left and right uneasily, panicked in her heart, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Third Young Master Mingcha!" I...... I didn't tell the truth! Li You narrowed his eyes, the corners of his mouth sneered slightly, and Chen'er was even more scared: "It's true!" I really don't! She couldn't help crying, pear blossoms brought rain, but found that Li You was unmoved, she was even more panicked in her heart, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Manru showing a mocking gaze on the side, so she rushed over and grabbed it resentfully: "She did it!" It had to be her! I saw her go to the courtyard that night! ”

Manru sighed and said in a low voice: "Chen'er, you told your wife about the matter, and you exposed the conspiracy of the instigator, and you have made meritorious contributions, how can the third young master blame you?" Don't panic, the third young master is not confused, and he won't punish you. She raised her eyes and quickly glanced at Li You, lowering her voice even lower, but she could still make the people around her hear clearly: "Don't pull other people in, it was the third young master who told Sister Lan Xiang to send something to Mrs. that night, and because Sister Lan Xiang was tired, she changed me." The third young master has always been filial, when did he not go to his wife? Which one didn't bring four or five people with you? Why bother talking about this? ”

Chen'er stared at her with two eyes, and joy gradually appeared on her face: "That's right, someone goes to the wife's courtyard every day, it must be their secret, the third young master, ......"

"Enough!" Li You glanced at her in disgust. eyes, I only felt that I didn't want to stay in this courtyard for a moment, "Mrs. has already rewarded you, I won't say more, since you have been promoted to the second class, you will be honest in the future!" Then he cried out, "Lu'er, Manru, come in with me!" With that, they strode into the backyard, and Lu'er and Manru hurriedly followed, and the latter turned his head to look at Lan Xiang before leaving.

Chen'er watched them leave in a daze, uneasy. Turning to Lan Xiang: "Sister Lan Xiang, Third Young Master, this is ......"

Lan Xiang glared at her with hatred. Eyes, said helplessly: "I've done everything, it's too late to regret it, you can do it yourself in the future." After bypassing her, he wanted to go back to the room, but was pulled by Chen'er: "Sister Lanxiang, I really didn't tell you!" Why don't you believe me anymore?! ”

Lan Xiang frowned and stared at her and held her hand: "Others don't know, but it's back. That's it, I obviously asked you to clean up the paper sachet that day, and now that the thing is in the hands of my wife, you will naturally hand it over. Don't panic, Mrs. has already spoken, the third young master will never let you out, you can work with peace of mind, and when he is angry, I will say good things for you. After saying that, he beckoned Chunying: "Come here, I have something to tell you." ”

Chunying looked at her in a daze, her brain hadn't woken up yet, and Shi'er pushed her. As soon as she answered, she slowly followed Lan Xiang into the backyard.

Chen'er was so anxious that she stomped her feet on the spot, glanced at everyone, and everyone scattered in a hurry. , but the glances at her were meaningful. Chen'er couldn't help but be full of grievances, she definitely didn't tell the truth, but she was unwilling to see Qing'er escape responsibility, so she quietly hid the "evidence of the crime", planning to find an opportunity to teach Qing'er a lesson, but before she could take action, her wife sent someone to ask her, and she had to hand over the things. She didn't know how her wife knew about it, but it wasn't what she said!

Regardless of Chen'er's heart. What is the taste inside, Chunying is full of bitterness at the moment, her eyes can't help but glance at the blood-stained ground, and her mind keeps imagining how Qing'er is now.

How does Lan Xiang know how she is feeling at the moment? just said lightly: "Although you and your sister have made great contributions to this matter, but you have also seen the current situation, if you report it to the third young master truthfully, he may be angry, you are not better than Chen'er, you have the words of your wife to protect you." Many people have been driven out today, and if there is one more of you, no one will say anything, so it is better to hide it. Don't worry, I know in my heart that I will never lose you, what do you want, just tell me and listen? ”

Chun Ying's heart was in a mess, and she just said dryly: "Sister Lanxiang...... What will happen to Sister Qing'er? She's not going to die, is she? ”

Lan Xiang's face sank: "It doesn't matter to us whether she is dead or alive!" What are you mentioning her for?! ”

"But......" Chunying sniffed, "she was also deceived, wasn't she?" She didn't think about harming the third young master, even if she was wrong, she wouldn't be guilty of death, right? ”

"What? Are you dissatisfied with your wife's disposition?! ”

Seeing Lan Xiang's gloomy face, Chun Ying regained her senses slightly: "No...... How so? She secretly glanced at Lan Xiang before whispering: "Mrs. has already beaten her, even if she has been punished, she didn't say that she must die?" But now that the weather is so cold, she is injured and sick, and she is dressed so thinly, and she has not taken away her clothes or anything, in case of any complications......"

Lan Xiang interrupted her with a sneer: "Then she deserves to die!" If she hadn't been confused, where would this have happened?! The third young master was almost killed, even if she didn't know it, she was an accomplice! Mrs. was merciful, so she didn't directly ask for her life, which is already cheap for her! Could it be that she is still offered as a bodhisattva?! You girl pity her, don't you want to be kicked out and be her companion?! ”

Chunying hurriedly lowered her head and sniffed desperately, suppressing the tears that were about to fall from her eyes.

Seeing this, Lan Xiang pouted: "Be honest with me!" Don't think that if you make a little contribution, you are qualified to talk to me big! If you want to buy people's hearts, you have to use them on people who are worth buying! Besides, don't forget, Qing'er has today, it is thanks to your secret blessing! If you have told the secret, why should you pity her?! ”

Lan Xiang left after scolding, never mentioning the merit reward again, Chunying raised her sleeves and vigorously wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, took a few deep breaths, and then gradually calmed down and returned to the front yard.

Shi'er, Rong'er, Xiaoling, Xiang'er and others gathered in the corner of the verandah to talk quietly, and when the former saw Chunying approaching, he ran to pull her: "What's the matter?" Your eyes are red, Sister Lanxiang is scolding you again? ”

Chun Ying shook her head, smiled reluctantly, and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

Shi'er looked at it or so, and pulled her back to the group of little girls with a mysterious face, and said in a low voice: "We're talking about Chen'er!" Last time, she told the secret, and this time, looking at this posture, it must be her! ”

Rong'er said angrily: "She got her wish today!" Second class! I was a year ahead of her, so why ......"

Xiao Ling hurriedly pulled her sleeve: "Be quiet!" Her house wasn't far from here, and she was packing her bags to move to the backyard, so beware of her overhears! ”

"What do you hear?" Rong'er glanced contemptuously in the direction of Chen'er's room, "If she has dignity in front of the third young master, even if she is a little girl, I have to be afraid of three points; But now that the third young master is obviously tired of her, even if she is promoted to a higher level, it is only a few dollars more than me in monthly silver, what am I afraid of her? ”

Shi'er said: "Although she committed the taboo of the third young master, she was promoted by her wife herself, and the third young master is not good to her, those housekeepers will definitely give her some face, why do you offend her?" If she wants to embarrass you, she only needs to give you a few drudgeries, or find an opportunity to withhold a few dollars of silver, and it will be enough for you. We've offended her before, so let's be careful. ”

Although Rong'er was unwilling, she also admitted that Shi'er was reasonable, so she had to swallow it alive.

Xiang'er said in a low voice: "Will Chen'er really take revenge on us?" We've all fought with her, and if we have to suffer because of this, I'd rather Sister Qing'er still be there, at least she won't deliberately embarrass us because of a little quarrel, at most she will say a few ugly words......"

Xiao Ling hurriedly pushed her: "Are you crazy? What is she doing at this time?! She did such a thing, it would be good to be alive, where can she stay?! ”

Rong'er also echoed: "Isn't it? When I thought that the third young master was almost poisoned, my heart was cold...... I heard that there was such a thing in other princes' mansions, because the young master was poisoned by someone somebody, and the maidservants of the entire courtyard had to be buried together! Why do you think Qing'er is so bold?! ”

Chun Ying couldn't help but speak: "She didn't mean to poison the third young master, she was also deceived!" ”

"Even if you're deceived, it's damned!" Rong'er's eyes widened and retorted, "Think about it, if Sister Lanxiang hadn't found out earlier, and the third young master really drank the poison, then what would have happened to us?!" ”

Chunying bit her lip and lowered her head. Several others were stunned by this assumption, and expressed their fear and happiness. Shi'er also sighed: "Fortunately, Sister Lanxiang stopped Qing'er, otherwise, not only would the third young master have an accident, but we would also be unlucky." Everyone agreed.

It's just that Xiao Ling raised an objection with some hesitation: "I think it...... Even if Sister Lanxiang didn't find out that Qing'er was making trouble, the third young master wouldn't have an accident. He drinks tea on weekdays, and even the water for making tea can be distinguished from that of Yuquan Mountain or the well in Dongfu, and the tea that has seeped ash is definitely not delicious, and the third young master only needs to taste one bite, and the whole cup will be poured out, how can he be poisoned? ”

The little girls looked at each other, and after a long time, Shi'er sighed: "Anyway, Sister Qing'er buried her life in vain this time!" Who told her to offend Sister Lanxiang and Chen'er in the past? Everyone sighed. Shi'er inadvertently turned around and saw Chunying biting her fist with a pale face, so she asked, "What's wrong with you?" Since then, my face has been bad, but I was scared? ”

Chunying reluctantly said, "No...... It occurred to me that I had more to do...... Come and go......" She turned back to the kitchen, staring at the already cooled stove, her mind at a loss. It was as if something was blocking her trachea, making it extra difficult for her to breathe.

Shi'er followed: "Are you really okay?" Why don't you go back to the house and rest for a while? I'll do it for you? She was followed by a villager, and she was also echoing.

Chunying smiled reluctantly: "No need......" She took the food box casually, opened the lid of the pot mechanically, put a few pumpkin steamed buns with a trace of heat in the box, covered the lid indiscriminately, and rushed out with her head down.

Shi'er screamed a few times in the back, but couldn't stop her, and the villager asked, "Is she scared?" The first time I saw someone being beaten on the board, I was scared! Shi'er shook her head, turned around and looked around the kitchen, a little puzzled: "What about Aunt Li?" Isn't she still there? ”

As soon as Chunying came out of Huanhuaxuan, she walked faster and faster. She kept her head down, dodging the others and walking straight ahead. She didn't know where she was going, she just wanted to leave Huanhuaxuan, the farther away the better. Shi'er and Xiaoling's words fell heavily on her heart like a hammer.

Walking to a secluded place, she couldn't hold back any longer, she fell in the corner and cried, tears kept pouring out, and her mind kept flashing Qing'er's desperate eyes and the blood-stained snow under her.

She already regretted it, she shouldn't have told her about seeing Qing'er and many girls, maybe if she didn't say it, the third young master would be fine, and Qing'er would not have ended up in this miserable end. It was because she had one more mouth that she caused such a big turmoil, and I don't know how many people were kicked out or resold because of this incident. Even though many people don't know that she is the culprit, the remorse in her heart still weighs her breathless.

What should she do......
