Chunying didn't know how long she cried before she gradually calmed down, but her heart seemed to be empty, and when she looked up at the sky, she was also at a loss.

Will Qing'er die? Looking at the current situation, it is almost certain, but she was just trying to get the third young master's affection at first. The person who leads this conspiracy behind the scenes should be the pervert of the second young master, right? Will he be punished?

Chunying knows very well in her heart that even if the second young master is really punished, it will only be an understatement to scold a few words, at most a beating, but he will still live well in the future, with fine clothes and food, and enjoy wealth and prosperity, maybe when the third young master inherits the family business, he will not be able to continue to be prosperous, but since he wants to take the imperial examination, once he is in high school, it will be a splendid future. No one will blame him for using a little maidservant, and the poisoning incident, a few family members of the Hou Mansion must also hide it, right? Cannibalism is not a good reputation.

Chunying secretly gritted her teeth, hating the second young master and the many girls, the dog man and woman, who were insidious and vicious, they would have retribution sooner or later!

After calming down, she began to pay attention to her surroundings, and found herself standing in the corner of the wall where she had heard Zhou Nian's sigh, not far in front of her was the passage leading to the garden, and through the hollow carvings on the wall, she could see the bamboo forest on the other side.

She ran the garden the other day and always walked here. The road, probably used to running, subconsciously went here, and then looked at the food box in his hand, which was also subconsciously organized. Thinking that she hadn't been to Zhumeng Villa for a few days, and she didn't want to go back to Huanhuaxuan, she simply decided to go to the garden.

Anyway, the wife is busy dealing with many girls now, and she has no time to take care of other things.

There are still ten meters from the entrance of the garden. I saw five or six mothers-in-law gathered at the door, including the mother-in-law whose niece was on an errand at the second young master's place. They exchanged heads and ears, not knowing what they were discussing, Chunying walked lightly to the bush near the left, only to hear the mother-in-law known as "Sister-in-law Zhu" say with a smug face: "...... Bad luck at last! That goblin, who has been arrogant in front of us all day, has finally suffered retribution! ”

The mother-in-law next to her also echoed: "It's not. Is it? It's just a second-class girl, waiting in front of the young master, calling us at every turn, what's going on now? As soon as the wife spoke, she was beaten and thrown out half-dead. It's a pity that only one of her was punished, and it would be comforting if Mrs. beat up all those goblins! ”

Chunying gritted her teeth secretly when she heard this. No wonder Jia Baoyu in Dream of Red Mansions will. said, when a girl gets married, she becomes a fish-eyed, Qing'er is so miserable, these mothers-in-law are still gloating, it's really hateful!

Not only was she angry when she heard it, but the other woman standing by the door looked like a woman. It's also a little unsightly, and he interjected with a smile: "Two sisters-in-law, I advise you to say a few words, it's not just the people of Huanhuaxuan who are unlucky today, the wife is asking someone to take the girl of Yingyuetang, I wish my sister-in-law not to worry about her nephew?" ”

The "wishing sister-in-law" immediately stretched her face: "Nonsense! It's obviously the third young master's. The girl's hands and feet are not clean, what does it have to do with the second young master?! ”

The woman contemptuously. glanced at her, sneered at the corner of his mouth, and put on a face of "I know but I just won't tell you", so angry that the "sister-in-law wish" blushed.

A strange daughter-in-law came over from afar and said in a loud voice, "What are you doing here?" My wife is calling people to go, so give me some sharpness in my hands and feet! ”

A mother-in-law asked curiously, "Didn't you say that the wife was judging the house thief?" What do you do? ”

The daughter-in-law said impatiently: "Are you only one of the thieves?!" No one can get rid of suspicion! My wife is waiting for a question, why don't you go quickly?! ”

"Sister-in-law Zhu" said with an ugly face: "Who is investigating the thief with such fanfare?" Isn't Mrs. Mo confused? The old lady will not follow! ”

"The old lady went to King Jing's mansion, the marquis is not at home, and now only the wife is in the mansion." The daughter-in-law glanced at her, "Auntie be neat, if you are innocent, you will come out early, and your face will look better, right?" ”

Several mothers-in-law had different expressions, and the daughter-in-law knew it when she saw it, and went with a sneer, and the mother-in-law looked at each other a few times, and walked slowly in the direction of the main courtyard, leaving only a younger one to stay.

Chunying watched them leave in the corner, and only then came out, she was angry and sad in her heart, and she was about to enter the garden, but she saw the mother-in-law who stayed behind walking out of the vigil hut, looked left and right, and sneaked away.

Chunying was a little puzzled, where is this mother-in-law going? But she quickly put the thought aside and went into the garden. It was just right that there was no one to guard her, and she saved herself the effort of making excuses.

The bamboo forest in the garden is still the same, perhaps because the weather is too cold, the owners of the Hou Mansion are not interested in visiting the garden, and the servants who sweep the garden are lazy, and the dead leaves accumulate a thick layer, and even the snow and mud are mixed together, and no one cleans them up. Chunying walked forward on the withered leaves, only feeling that she was in a gloomy mood.

There were still fifty or sixty meters away from Zhumeng Mountain Residence, and Sanqing appeared in front of her like a ghost, with a straight face and a sudden grin. If it was usual, Chun Ying would have jumped up in fright, but today she waved at him listlessly, and reluctantly pulled the corners of her mouth: "I'm here......"

Sanqing blinked, watching her walk towards the mountain residence, with a puzzled look in his eyes.

Chun Ying walked into the house and saw Zhou Nian sitting behind the desk reading a book, so she put the food box on the chair next to her and whispered: "I brought a few steamed buns today, Young Master Nian will treat them as dry food......

Zhou Nian raised his head from the book, and surprise flashed in his eyes: "Chun'er? You haven't been here in days. Didn't you say you wouldn't be here for a while? ”

"I'm afraid you'll starve, and my wife has something to do today, so I'll take the opportunity to come over." Chunying kept her head down, wanting to boil water to make tea as usual, but found that there was tea in the pot, it was still hot, and then took a closer look, the pot was not the original white porcelain, but now it is blue and white, which is obviously more advanced.

Zhou Nian walked over and said with a smile: "Thank you for thinking about it, now that three meals a day are delivered on time, I can't be hungry." The utensils in the house have also been replaced with new ones, and the Hou Ye personally watched the changes, and I used them, and they were still handy, but I always felt that they were not as good as the original habits. Did Brother Yu call you here today? He hadn't come to see me in a few days, what was he doing? ”

As soon as Chunying heard this question, she felt uncomfortable in her heart. Zhou Nian noticed the change in her expression, and shook her hand: "What's wrong?" But what happened? ”

Chunying shook her head: "No ......" She felt as if her throat was blocked by something, and she couldn't continue.

Zhou Nian hurriedly walked a few steps closer, looked sideways, and saw Chunying's red and swollen eyes, and couldn't help but be taken aback: "Are you crying?" For what reason? Something happened to Brother You?! ”

"Three...... Third Young Master...... Very good......" Chunying replied reluctantly, but tears fell uncontrollably, "It's someone else......" She couldn't say it anymore, squatting down and hugging her knees and crying.

Fang Supa handed it to her, she raised her head, saw Zhou Nian looking at her gently, and said, "Wipe it, if you have anything sad, you might as well tell me." ”

Chunying took the handkerchief, and suddenly had an urge to talk, but she had some scruples in her heart: "Third young master...... If you say that, don't tell ...... Others ......"

Zhou Nian smiled bitterly: "Don't worry, even if I want to say it, there is nowhere to say it?" But...... If it's a private matter of Brother You'......"

"It's not a private matter!" Chun Ying interrupted him, feeling that she really needed a little venting, otherwise she would be overwhelmed by remorse.

She took a few deep breaths, and inadvertently found that Qing'er had a secret meeting with many girls, Qiuyu took her to tell Lan Xiang about the matter, Lan Xiang grabbed Qing'er and dealt with it lightly, someone secretly told her, Mrs. blamed Qing'er and so on before and after all the things were said, and when the matter was finished, her face was already full of tears: "I didn't know it would be like this, I originally thought that Qing'er was going to harm the third young master, so I told the matter, but Qing'er didn't harm the third young master, she was also punished, and she was about to be kicked out, and the matter should be over here?" But suddenly...... The wife came, said that she had been poisoned, and had her beaten half to death, perhaps by now...... Why? She is obviously a victim too...... She's just being taken advantage of......" she raised her sleeve to wipe away her tears, "Young Master, you say...... If it weren't for me, wouldn't she be so miserable......"

Zhou Nian pondered for a moment, sighed, and said, "Chun'er...... I don't quite understand, what are you regretting? If you hadn't told the Lanxiang girl about it, Brother You might have been killed, and you saved Brother You's life, why should you regret it? That Qing'er, although the sin does not lead to death, is not innocent, and it is precisely because she has delusions that she will be used, isn't it? Didn't she end up like this? ”

"But she didn't deserve to die?!" Chunying retorted, "It's the girl who deceived her, and she has been punished!" And...... Even if I didn't say it...... The third young master may not be poisoned...... That poisonous ash was mixed into the tea, and he only needed to take a sip to find out that there was a problem inside, and he would definitely not continue to drink it! ”

"How do you know he's not going to drink?" Zhou Nian moved a chair and sat down, "Maybe he was thirsty for a moment and drank it inadvertently?" Maybe it's so poisonous that it only takes one sip to work? In the end, instead of taking this risk, it is better to take precautions in advance, you know that someone is going to harm your brother, and there is nothing wrong with telling the truth. ”

Chunying felt a little better, but when she thought of something, her mood went down again: "Actually, I also told the third young master...... That's why he will be light on Qing'er later...... If I had told him at the beginning, it might have been nothing later......" she wiped her face again, "it was because I told Lan Xiang that it made a big fuss...... If you only tell the third young master, he will not be poisoned, and Qing'er will be fine......"

Zhou Nian smiled faintly, pointed to another round stool, and motioned for Chunying to sit down, Chunying sat down, and then he said, "Chun'er, you are a good boy, I understand what happened." Actually, you don't need to feel so guilty. Chunying wanted to refute, but he raised his hand to stop him and said, "You listen to me carefully." ”

Chunying obediently lowered her head and sat upright to listen to him.

"As I just said, it is your duty to report the matter to the principal maid when you find out that someone is going to be unfavorable to your brother. As for what to do with that ring, it is none of your business. She made a big deal out of it, it was her responsibility, no matter what her purpose was, after all, she would break her brother's face. It is precisely because you secretly informed Brother You of the truth that he was able to stop the development of the situation in time and save Qing'er. In this way, you are actually doing a good deed. ”

Chun Ying thought about it carefully, he didn't seem to be wrong, so she was right to tell the secret?

Zhou Nian saw that she gradually calmed down, so she continued: "Mrs. will take over this matter, according to your words, because someone is informing." It doesn't matter who that person is, or for whatever reason he would rather disobey the strict orders of his brother. After Mrs. knew the truth, whether she would be a light person or a strict death sentence for that Qing'er, it was not something that you little girl could interfere with, so why should you regret it? ”

"But ......"

"You kid, why do you put the blame for others on yourself? Instead of blaming himself for not telling the truth, it is better to blame the person behind the instigation, or the person who secretly told his wife, or even Qing'er herself, in the final analysis, they are the root cause of this matter, aren't they? ”

Chunying smiled a little embarrassedly: "Am I ...... Got the horns? ”

Zhou Nian smiled at her, she lowered her head in shame, remembering that she had just cried in front of him, she felt that her face was hot, and she hurriedly wiped it with a handkerchief, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the small characters embroidered on the handkerchief, and took a closer look, it turned out to be "Zisi", remembering that on the calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall, there was also this payment, so she casually asked: "Whose name is this Zisi?" ”

Zhou Nian smiled: "This is my cousin. After a pause, his expression became surprised: "Are you literate?" ”
