"Dead?" Peony was shocked when she heard this, and her face instantly turned pale. She rushed over and tried it under Xiao Lingxiao's nose, and sure enough, she was out of breath.

How could it be! When the eldest lady gave her the packet of medicine, she clearly said that it would take a few days to see the effect, how could she die after eating it?

At this time, Bao Rong'er pulled the peony to the door of the house with a frightened face, and said in a low voice, "This is terrible." There are only three of us in the courtyard, and now that the eldest lady is dead, you and I are afraid that we will not be able to escape the blame! I can only find a way to seek the protection of Abbot Xuan, Peony, what can you do? Will they kill you to pay for the eldest lady's life? ”

As soon as Peony heard this, the whole person fell into an ice cave. She ran to Xiao Lingxiao's side in a panic and looked at it carefully, making sure that Xiao Lingxiao was really out of breath, so she gritted her teeth and ran outside.

When Bao Rong'er saw her leaving, she didn't chase after her, but she just grinned, turned around and asked, "Miss, do you think this girl will run away?" ”

When the words fell, Xiao Lingxiao, who was lying on the ground, suddenly opened her eyes, got up with a smile and slapped off the dust, just holding her breath and tricking the peony over, without using the power of the divine wolf, which made Xiao Lingxiao very satisfied. Xiao Lingxiao had long expected that the food sent by Peony was poisonous, so she just made a show and didn't eat it at all.

"The dog that bites someone to death will definitely return to the owner first, and even if she wants to escape, she can't get out of the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

After saying this, Xiao Lingxiao glanced at the candle flame on the table, casually raised her hand to knock over the candlestick, watched the flame grow bigger little by little, and then walked slowly outside with Bao Rong'er. Xiao Lingxiao had already asked Bao Rong'er to secretly get a lot of lamp oil to spill in several rooms, so when they came to the corridor outside the courtyard, they looked back and saw that the rooms in Rongliu Courtyard were already on fire.

At this time, she heard the sound of chaotic footsteps in the distance, Xiao Lingxiao turned her head to look, and saw a group of maids and ladies surrounding several richly dressed ladies hurrying over, and Peony also followed in the crowd.

Through the light of the fire and the light of the lamps on the cloister, Xiao Lingxiao saw the face of the woman in the lead. She looked to be in her thirties, with a simple golden hairpin in her neat bun, and the five years did not seem to have left much mark on her face, the corners of her eyes were slightly raised, and the arrogance in her eyes did not diminish at all. This is the eldest lady who blinded her back then.

The eldest lady came to Xiao Lingxiao with her eyebrows tightened, glanced at Rongliuyuan, and asked in disbelief, "Peony told me just now that you were dead...... What's going on? What's going on in the yard? ”

Xiao Lingxiao glanced at Peony, who was already scared stupidly, with a cold face showing an angry look, and asked the eldest lady, "Mother, didn't you instruct Peony to set fire to my Rongliu Courtyard?" ”

"Set fire?" The eldest lady's body was shocked, and she hurriedly asked her subordinates to put out the fire.

The people rushed to extinguish the fire in a panic, but Xiao Lingxiao and the eldest lady were still standing in the corridor and confronting each other. The eldest lady looked at Xiao Lingxiao's deep eyes with firelight, and a hint of foreboding immediately appeared in her heart.

"Silly boy, walking water in the house is also a common thing, and the people are too careless, how can it be said that I instructed someone to set the fire." The eldest lady was slightly reproachful in her tone, stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Lingxiao's hand, and comforted her softly, "As long as you're okay, Lingxiao, your mother didn't take good care of you before, don't blame your mother." Now that you are well ailed, and it is convenient for you to move around, from now on you will go to your mother to sit and sit more, and you will have more contact with your younger brothers and sisters. ”

As she spoke, the eldest lady motioned to a few people behind her, and the two young women standing there came over reluctantly.

"This is your second sister Huanyu, that's your third sister Huanxue, do you remember?"

Xiao Lingxiao glanced at the two women opposite, they were twins, they looked exactly the same, the facial features on the goose egg face were very exquisite, and the whole person was carefully carved like the most skillful craftsman. Xiao Huanyu looks more like a big lady, with incomparable arrogance in her eyes, while Xiao Huanxue has a cold feeling of rejecting people thousands of miles away, as if she despises all living beings, and people can't help but retreat.

Xiao Lingxiao didn't remember the faces of these two people, but she wouldn't not remember what they had done to her. For so many years, the two of them have come to Rongliu Courtyard to bully Xiao Lingxiao, they all look like ladies on the surface, but only Xiao Lingxiao knows what these two people actually are.

"For so many years, I can only hear the voices of my two sisters, but now when I see them, they are very different from what I imagined." Xiao Lingxiao smiled lightly and said coldly, "What my mother said just now is right, my illness is cured, and our sisters should move around more in the future, I still remember the games that my two sisters played with me in the past, and we can have more fun in the future, right?" ”

In the past, Xiao Lingxiao was blind and dumb, and was often chased and beaten by the two of them, and when Xiao Lingxiao knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, they let the maids ride on her and crawl around.

Xiao Lingxiao has not forgotten these things.

Xiao Huanyu and Xiao Huanxue heard Xiao Lingxiao say this, their faces turned pale, and they subconsciously turned their eyes to the eldest lady.

The eldest lady couldn't help but be shocked when she heard Xiao Lingxiao's words.

Xiao Lingxiao looked at the smoke rushing into the sky, and said to the eldest lady with a smile, "Five years ago, I saw things that I shouldn't see, so a fire blinded my eyes, and today this fire burned down my residence again, it seems that I shouldn't go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion." What do you think you should do, lady? ”

Xiao Lingxiao's words made the eldest lady's heart tighten suddenly, what she was most afraid of Xiao Lingxiao mentioning was the incident five years ago.

In this prime minister's mansion, there are too many things that cannot be known by others, especially those things that happened to Xiao Lingxiao. The eldest lady was secretly ruthless in her heart, before Xiao Lingxiao turned over, she had to die!

Xiao Lingxiao felt the murderous aura emanating from the eldest lady, and just smiled slightly, while Bao Rong'er beside her clenched her fists, as if she could rush up and bite these people's throats at any time, Xiao Lingxiao signaled her not to act rashly, and Bao Rong'er lowered her head with a muffled snort.

Rongliuyuan was burned down, and Xiao Lingxiao naturally had to be arranged to live elsewhere. The eldest lady thought about it to the end, and decided to let people clean up the Qinghe Courtyard for Xiao Lingxiao to live in.

It would take a few days to clean up the yard, so the eldest lady kindly took Xiao Lingxiao to her own yard to live temporarily.

Although the courtyard of the eldest lady is not the main courtyard, it is also spacious and spacious.

"Ling Xiao, you stay here for two days, everything is up to your mother. After two days, the Qinghe Courtyard will be cleaned up for you, and you can pick a few maids to follow you. ”

Hearing the eldest lady mention the maid, Xiao Lingxiao immediately took over and asked, "Mother, it's really strange that Rongliuyuan is walking in the water, what do you want to do with that peony?" ”

The eldest lady's expression froze, Peony is her favorite personal maid, she was slapped by the woman next to Xiao Lingxiao before, and the eldest lady was already very distressed, but she didn't expect her to poison Xiao Lingxiao and go wrong. As for how this fire started, the eldest lady knew that nine times out of ten it was Xiao Lingxiao's means.

"Peony is not thoughtful in serving his master, and I discipline him less. I'll go and find out about it myself. In other words, Xiao Lingxiao, don't ask any more questions.

Xiao Lingxiao naturally knew that the eldest lady wanted to protect the peony, but she would not let go of the person who poisoned herself. Although Peony was instructed by someone, since she did it, she had to bear the consequences. When she returned to the wing room with Bao Rong'er, she heard Bao Rong'er gritted her teeth and said, "Master, we might as well give them a dismount!" ”

Xiao Lingxiao saw that she showed a mouth full of sharp wolf teeth, thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Be careful, the account between me and the eldest lady should be calculated slowly, don't startle the snake." ”

Bao Rong'er grinned, flashed and disappeared.

The next morning, as soon as the eldest lady got up, she heard a maid come to report in a panic that Peony was dead. When the eldest lady followed the maids to the back of the courtyard and saw the broken corpse, the eldest lady couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine, and stood there for a long time, and it took a long time to come back to her senses.

Although the eldest lady confessed that the body of Peony was secretly disposed of, and no one was allowed to go out, Xiao Huanyu and Xiao Huanxue still quickly got the news and came here.

"Mother, this must have been done by Xiao Lingxiao!" Xiao Huanyu's beautiful face was full of anger, she was so angry that she kept turning in circles in the inner room, clenching her fists fiercely, and said angrily, "This cheap girl can't stay!" Mother, we have to find a way to get rid of her! ”

Xiao Huanxue sat next to the Nanmu round table, her expression was still cold, she raised her eyes to look at her sister, and said in a cold voice, "Xiao Lingxiao has been in the wing room in her mother's courtyard all night, not to mention that she is just a weak woman, I am afraid it will not be easy to kill people here without hiding from the world." ”

"It must be her! Who else but her! Xiao Huanyu gritted her teeth and glared at Xiao Huanxue and roared.

Xiao Huanxue glanced at her, and turned to the eldest lady and said, "Mother, we may have underestimated Xiao Lingxiao, she came back from the dead and disappeared for so many days, maybe something happened." ”

The eldest lady frowned when she heard this, let out a long sigh, and said for a long time, "The old lady and the old man only left her behind for the sake of the fourth prince, and they don't plan to pay attention to her, so there is still time to get rid of her." Neither of you is allowed to meddle in this matter, and I will do it myself when she moves back to Qingheyuan. ”

When Xiao Huanyu and Xiao Huanxue left the courtyard of the eldest lady, they happened to see Xiao Lingxiao coming out of the wing.

Xiao Lingxiao stood there with a smile and looked at the pair of twins who were as beautiful as porcelain dolls, and immediately distinguished that it was Xiao Huanyu who glared at her fiercely, and the one who looked at her coldly as if she was thoughtful was Xiao Huanxue.

As if nothing had happened to the peony, Xiao Lingxiao stayed in the courtyard of the eldest lady for three days, and the Qinghe courtyard was cleaned up. Before leaving, the eldest lady chose a first-class maid and a first-class mother for Xiao Lingxiao, four second-class maids, and a lot of rough maids and rough mothers, because Rongliuyuan went to the water, Xiao Lingxiao's pitiful belongings were all gone, so the eldest lady specially arranged for Xiao Lingxiao to have some clothes and jewelry, and brought them to Qinghe Courtyard.

After settling down, Bao Rong'er checked the clothes and jewelry one by one, and finally came to a conclusion, shabby.

Xiao Lingxiao agreed with this conclusion very much, so the two discussed it and decided to find an opportunity to go out and get some silver back.
