Xia Ruixi buried his head in the quilt and let the tears flow wildly. In her previous life, it was not that she had not been moved, nor that she had not invested in her feelings, but there were always too many unavoidable and unpredictable, and in the end, every relationship ended without a problem. Mixing around, she will be older, and when she realizes that age is not waiting for anyone, everything is no longer in her control, and people will not only pick her education, household registration, job, appearance, economic conditions, but also her age.

When she was reborn, she thought that she had come to this world as a chance given to her by God. Although she is also a leftover girl, she is so much younger, and the conditions are not bad, she can rely on the love of Mr. and Mrs. Xia to choose the one she is satisfied with, who knows that with all her efforts, everything is still not in her control.

Chun'er and Wan'er barely suppressed the panic in their hearts and knocked on the door: "Miss, Miss, get up quickly, something happened." ”

Xia Ruixi wiped the tears on his face and sat up: "Come in, what's wrong?" I heard someone yelling just now, what is it called? ”

"It's the mother-in-law who manages the yard, she said, it's dead."

"Dead?" Xia Ruixi rolled over and got out of bed, "Who is it?" ”

Wan'er said: "I don't know, the slave will go out and ask?" ”

Before Xia Ruixi asked people to go out to find out what was going on, someone had already come to report to her the whole story. It turned out that the mother-in-law who was in charge of the flowers and trees was drawing water from the well to water the flowers as usual today, but she smelled an indescribable stench, she thought that some cat or dog accidentally fell into the well and drowned, but she didn't care, just let people fish it out. Who would have thought that it was Yan'er who had disappeared for several days and everyone thought she had escaped!

Yan'er's body was soon wrapped in a quilt and carried away by Master Xia, and buried in a mass grave on the outskirts of Beijing, and the final result was nothing more than a thin-skinned coffin. When Xia Ruibei heard about this, she cried so much that she lay in bed for two days without eating, and when she got up, she went to Yan'er's grave to burn a few buckets of paper, praying that she would be a good person when she came. The subordinates said in front of the master and the housekeeper that they didn't expect the third lady to be so affectionate and righteous.

Behind the scenes, everyone was speculating about the cause of Yan'er's death, and given that those days were so chaotic, no one saw how Yan'er died. Some people say that she hid here in tears because she missed the dead letter and accidentally slipped down. Some people also said that when they saw Yan'er's head wound, it was estimated that they happened to bump into the thief who sneaked into the house to steal, and was killed and thrown into the well to destroy the body. There are also people who say that the third lady is a cat crying mouse fake compassion, she usually treats her subordinates badly, often beats and scolds her subordinates, everyone can see it, maybe, Yan'er is unbearable to be bullied by her to jump into the well.

Xia Ruixi is also speculating about the cause of Yan'er's death. The statement that Yan'er accidentally fell into the well because she missed Xin'er, who died, is obviously untenable, at that hour, even she didn't know what Xin'er's life and death were, let alone Yan'er as a girl? If it is said that Yan'er committed suicide because she was not able to be abused, she didn't believe it, although Yan'er was taciturn, her temperament was extremely tenacious, and she hadn't heard how Xia Ruibei beat and scolded her in the past few days. Regarding Yan'er's head injury, she specially asked Master Xia, but was perfunctorily rushed back to the room by Master Xia.

Next, someone said that on a moonlit night they heard the singing and crying of a young woman, and when they followed the sound, they saw that it was Yan'er sitting on the edge of the well, and when she saw someone going, she turned around and jumped into the well. The statement of Mi'er, the little girl in Xia Ruibei's room, added credibility to this statement, Mi'er told people mysteriously: The third lady has nightmares every night, always calling Yan'er in her dreams, sweating profusely, and her face is white and scary. When she went to wake up Miss Three, Miss San always looked at her with a creepy gaze and asked her what she heard, and she replied that she heard Miss Yan'er, and Miss San would yell and drive her out. Mi'er finally concluded that the third lady was ghosted.

For a while, the haunted thing spread throughout the Xia family's courtyard, and people were so panicked that no one dared to go to the back garden in broad daylight. For this situation, Master Xia quickly resorted to thunderous means, first took Mi'er, who spread rumors, and a few mothers-in-law who spread rumors, and beat them all half to death, Mi'er admitted in front of the whole family that she made up everything about the haunting. The others also said that they had all listened to Mi'er, and had not seen any ghosts with their own eyes.

Of course, these people were punished more severely, and then Master Xia ordered someone to add two girls named Lan'er and Xiang'er to Xia Ruibei at a high price, and filled in the well where the accident occurred. As time passed, everyone gradually forgot about the docile and taciturn Yan'er, and the haunting was over.

Xia Ruixi was sensitive to find that after this incident, Master Xia's eyes changed when he looked at Xia Ruibei, and he was a little more sad and disappointed, and he had to educate Xia Ruibei to be broad-minded and honest at every opportunity. Xia Ruibei also looked helpless and frightened when she saw Master Xia.

Xia Ruixi, who had been watching the changes in the situation, came to the conclusion at this time that Yan'er's death was inseparable from Xia Ruibei. And the reason why Xia Ruibei killed Yan'er should be that Yan'er bumped into something that didn't change - except for the fact that Xia Ruibei betrayed herself, there is nothing worth killing Xia Ruibei. After Xia Ruixi figured it out, she was scared into a cold sweat, in order to cover up the truth of this matter, Xia Ruibei can kill a Yan'er, so next, will she also harm herself? I can't hold my breath anymore, so I show her face every day.

Xia Ruixi couldn't sit still anymore, looked for Master Xia, and didn't say much else, so she told Mu Fei what she had told her about seeing Xia Ruibei and Zhao Mingtao talking that morning. She didn't say it explicitly, but she understood what she meant. Blood ties are a strange bond, and in most cases, even the most upright and selfless person will become uncalm, and his first consideration is not justice, but the interests of his relatives. For example, Yan'er's case is the best example, Master Xia knew that Xia Ruibei killed Yan'er, but he still quietly covered up the past for her.

Xia Ruixi didn't doubt Master Xia's love for her, but this matter involved his other daughter, who was connected by blood, broken bones and tendons in the same way, and Master Xia was sandwiched in the middle, which was the most difficult one to do. Xia Ruixi didn't want to embarrass him, just wanted to tell him the truth of the matter, remind him, and let him take precautions, so that the same thing would not happen again in the future, bringing ruin to the whole family.

Master Xia's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he looked at Xia Ruixi in disbelief, trying to find a trace of joking on her face. But he was disappointed, Xia Ruixi's eyes were clear and calm, there was no resentment, just a factual narrative.
