As dusk approached, the sky grew darker, and the cell became even colder. Due to the suddenness of the incident, before the maids could bring warm clothes for the second lady, she was escorted away by the officials, so that she had to wrap her body in a quilt to keep warm. The second lady tried her best to endure the musty smell that emanated from the futon, and her face was full of displeasure. But when she saw Ning Yue, who had changed into dirty old prison clothes and shivered with cold, returned to the cell, her tightly knit brows stretched, and a smile appeared on her lips. In exchange for secretly helping Ning Xue get rid of her marriage with the Duan family, the second lady was somewhat hesitant, but when she asked Mo Niancong if the government had a clue about the real murderer, his somewhat embarrassed look made her determined to act according to the plan. Fortunately, I have read countless people, otherwise I would have been fooled by the bluff of this great man. Once the events of the day are revealed, Xiao Yue will be able to completely exonerate herself, and I, I'm afraid, will be entangled in this murder case from now on, until these unconscious officials arrest the real murderer! But will there be such a day? In this way, years of hard work have been in vain. Thinking of this, the second lady couldn't help but feel angry, and her hands hidden in the quilt pulled the handkerchief in her hand fiercely, as if she wanted to tear it in half to vent her hatred. The carefully cultivated chess piece has to be discarded, not to mention, this chess piece is still ......

After settling down, the second lady showed a friendly smile, turned to look at Ning Yue, and said in a gentle voice: "Xiaoyue, after a few months, I thought that you would have no fixed place to live and no meals, but now that I see that you look very good, I think that there are nobles to help, and I can finally feel at ease." ”

Ning Yue was stunned for a while after hearing this, remembering the second lady's desperation for herself, she couldn't help but burst into tears, and asked, "Second lady, you and I are in prison, life and death are unpredictable, how can you say it with peace of mind?" ”

"A mother has nothing more to ask for as long as her children are well. Xiaoyue, how I have treated you along the way, you should be very clear. The second lady did not feel guilty at all.

"Since the second lady cares so much for Xiaoyue, why do you blame me for the murder?" After speaking, Ning Yue couldn't help but sob.

Hearing Ning Yue's words, the second lady immediately buried her face in the quilt, choked up and said, "The matter has come to this point, no matter how I justify it, it is just in vain...... It's just that...... If there is no other way, I will never be willing to let you bear this grave sin...... Xiaoyue, will you believe me? ”

Ning Yue believed that it was true, hurriedly stood up, walked to the wooden fence between them and pleaded: "Since the second lady has a hard time, why don't you tell it all, Master Mo is kind-hearted and will definitely be treated lightly." Otherwise, even if the government has the ability to reach the sky, it will be difficult to find the real culprit and return you and me to a clean slate. ”

"If this matter were just about me, I wouldn't have been ruthless enough to involve you that day." The second lady raised her head to look at Ning Yue, her eyes glistening with tears.

"Could it be...... Is it because of the second miss? Ning Yue asked cautiously.

"Xiao Yue, you and I can see how weak Xue'er's body is now, and she has suffered great changes recently, and she has lost all hopes. If she were to be put through prison at this time, wouldn't it be a desperate sight? Speaking of this, the second lady couldn't cry.

Ning Yue was anxious and sad when she heard this, and asked with tears in her eyes, "Second Miss, what's wrong with her?" ”

"Cher...... Xue'er is about to marry the dead young master of the Duan family......" the second lady cried.

The second lady's words shocked Ning Yue like a thunderbolt from the sky, and for a while, she was speechless.

"No wonder you don't believe it, when I first learned of my master's decision, how could I believe it. Looking back on the past, the lord insisted on leaving your mother and daughter in Ningfu to take care of him, regardless of his career and future, which can be regarded as a great deal of affection and righteousness. It's a pity that Peach Blossom is still unbelievable, now he puts the emperor first in everything, in order to repay the emperor's kindness, his own life can be easily abandoned, not to mention Xue'er's happiness! The second lady reprimanded excitedly. No matter how much our mother and daughter pleaded, he only said that his mind had been decided and could not be changed. Poor Xue'er washes her face with tears all day long, and if it weren't for the fact that she still has a trace of concern in her heart, she may not be able to live......"

Seeing that the second lady was crying so much, Ning Yue couldn't help crying. "Don't be sad for the second lady...... The second lady is blessed and will definitely be able to get through the difficulties......"

"How can I not be sad when Cher is alone and I can't be by her side...... I'm afraid that Cher will ...... if she leaves me Woo woo...... "The second lady buried her face in the quilt again, and the sound of crying came intermittently through the quilt, which sounded extremely desolate.

The second lady's life is hanging by a thread now, even if there are a group of maids serving by her side, but after all, it is still not as good as the second lady's meticulous care all the time. For the sake of today's plan, I can only ask Master Mo for extrajudicial mercy and let the second lady go back, after all, Brother Qi said that she is not the murderer of Young Master Duan, as long as the real murderer can be found, her confession is no longer so important......

Ning Yue wiped away her tears and was about to open her mouth to say what she was thinking, but the second lady took the lead and asked softly: "Xiao Yue, can't you look at the various benefits that Xue'er and I have done to you in the past, and confess your sins to Master Mo, so that I can go back to the house to take care of Xue'er as soon as possible?" ”

After Ning Yue heard this, she felt cold, her face was hot, her hands were cold, her whole body trembled, and she couldn't speak for a long time. At this moment, a long flute sound came from outside the narrow skylight, which made Ning Yue's heart suddenly calm down. A white dove, flapping its wings awkwardly, stopped on the skylight, cooed a few times, and then squinted motionless, as if intoxicated by the sound of the flute. Ning Yue snuggled up to the thatch, closed her eyes, and quietly listened to this soothing music, burning tears flowing down the corners of her eyes. I can't remember how many times, the sound of the flute woke Ning Yue from the haze of pain, and as the flute drifted farther and farther away, the sadness and sadness in her heart became more and more blurred. Brother Qi and Goo are still waiting for me, I want to live, live, and reunite with them......

After that, every evening, the sound of the flute would sound, and it would play for about two hours before it stopped, and so on for several days, and suddenly one day, the flute did not come as expected, and it never sounded again.
