Hua Jin picked up the chopsticks, stayed on top of the dishes, and finally put the chopsticks back in their place.

Zhitao saw Hua Jin put down his chopsticks and stepped forward, "Fifth girl, isn't tonight's dish the same as your appetite?" ”

"Zhi Tao, the last time we helped my brother choose a little girl, I remember you said that Uncle Qin Bing was a dart master in a dart game?"

Zhi Tao nodded, but his face was puzzled, "Fifth girl, did Qin Bing make any mistakes by the side of the fourth young master?" ”

Hua Jin shook his head, "Then are you familiar with Qin Bing?" ”

"Well......" Momo paused, "It's not ripe." Seeing the slightly disappointed expressions of the five girls in his house, he immediately added: "Although I am not familiar, am I not the self-acquainted character?" ”

Hua Jinwaner, "Then you can play to your strengths and help me inquire about something." ”

Zhi Tao also laughed, "Fifth girl, what's the matter?" ”

Hua Jin beckoned to Zhi Tao, Zhi Tao leaned over and approached the edge of the kang, and Hua Jin whispered a few words in her ear. Zhitao listened to Hua Jin's words and nodded constantly.

When Zhi Tao stood up, Hua Jin instructed again: "Wait until Zhao Bo comes back tomorrow on errands, and let him come into the inner courtyard to see me." ”

"Yes, Fifth Girl."

"Also, don't tell my brother just yet."

"Fifth girl, Zhitao understands."

When everything was arranged, Hua Jin had the heart to pick up the chopsticks again.

But before the dishes could be clamped, Bai Tao hurriedly walked in, "Fifth girl, something happened in the main room." ”

Bai Tao's temperament has always been calm, Hua Jin didn't know what happened to make her so panicked, but her heart jumped, "What happened?" ”

Bai Tao's face turned a little pale, "Yes...... It's Sister Yuping, she's ...... A lot of blood was shed. ”

"So what's going on now?"

"The second lady has already sent someone to ask for a doctor."

Hua Jin nodded, "Go and inquire more." ”

After Bai Tao lifted the curtain and went out, Hua Jin's eyes couldn't help but fall on the embroidered picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water on the door curtain.

In this era of male superiority and inferiority of women, it is just a good wish to envy only mandarin ducks and not immortals.

After all, she lives in a courtyard, and Yuping is also very kind, and she has no ability to protect more people now, so she only prays that Yuping's fate will not be too miserable.

There was not much appetite left, Hua Jin only drank half a bowl of porridge, ate two mouthfuls of food, and then ordered Yanran to withdraw the dinner.

As soon as a cup of tea was served on the kang table, Bai Tao hurriedly opened the curtain again, his face was as white as a piece of paper, and his hand half-hidden in his sleeve kept trembling.

Hua Jin's heart sank and looked at Bai Tao, "What's wrong?" ”

"Jade ...... Yuping ...... She ...... "Bai Tao was so frightened that she couldn't speak.

Yan Ran hurriedly poured a cup of hot tea for Bai Tao to drink, and her emotions slowly calmed down, "Sister Yuping, she ...... She died, and I saw that the mattress under her was stained red with blood, and it was ......"

Hua Jin only felt that his heart jumped twice, and he couldn't help but look out the window, "How could you die?" ”

"The doctor said that Sister Yuping had a body, but she didn't know that she died of a miscarriage." Bai Tao's voice was still trembling.

Abortion? Blood collapse? Hua Jin was stunned.

In most cases, the maid in the room is a pawn of the lady of the main house, and if she gave birth to a son before the main room, it would be a miscalculation. So Hua Jin knew that Du's mother would send Yuping a bowl of avoidance decoction every time.

Hua Jin looked at Bai Tao, "But are there any details missing?" ”

Bai Tao shook her head, "When Sister Yuping was ill, she was planning to serve her wife for dinner, but now the main room is in a mess, and I can't find out anything." ”

Hua Jin couldn't help but sigh, "Second master, does he know?" ”

"The second master lost his temper."

Yuping has just opened her face and been a girl for three months.

Although the second master and Yuping are not a pair of real lovers, now should be the time for strong love, not to mention that Yuping already has the blood and blood of the Zhang family in his stomach.

Hua Jin told Bai Tao and Yan Ran, who was standing on the side, in a deep voice, "I'm afraid there will be chaos in the courtyard for a while, so be careful in the past few days." ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhi Tao lifted the curtain and came in from outside, and saw that the atmosphere in the room was a little wrong, and couldn't help but look at Huajin.

Hua Jin was also concerned about the situation on his brother's side, "I met people, did it go smoothly?" ”

Zhitao nodded, "I made the girl's meaning clear, and they said that the news would be sent back tomorrow." ”

Hua Jin was about to open his mouth to ask again, but a heart-rending cry suddenly came out in the courtyard: "Second lady, spare the slave maid!"

Bai Tao and Tao glanced at each other, but heard Yanran say, "Isn't this Sister Yulu's voice?" ”

Then, everyone in the room held their breath and listened carefully to the movement outside.

The hoarse and trembling voice shouted again: "Don't kick me out, I don't want to harm Yuping's life, my parents are still waiting for my monthly silver to cure the disease!" ”

There was a moment of silence, followed by Du's mother's angry voice, "Ill-intentioned, and indirectly harmed the heirs of the Zhang family, it is already an extrajudicial mercy not to send you to prison." If you know today, why bother in the first place. Drag her down for me! ”

The crying voice had gradually turned into a feeble sob, getting weaker and weaker......

Suddenly, the voice became sharp again, as if to vent all the unwillingness, "Why not me?" If it were me, I would be better than Yuping's ......"

Immediately followed by a muffled sound of "bang", which could be heard clearly even in the room, Hua Jin couldn't help but gasp.

"Mother Du...... The dead girl hit the pillar...... "A woman shouted in a rough voice.

"Why don't you go down and see if you can save it, if you die again......" There was a mess outside.

After about a quarter of an hour, the outside gradually subsided, but the darkness and silence brought by the fall of night were even more frightening.

Hua Jin looked at Bai Tao and Zhi Tao, who were by his side every day during this time, and Yan Ran, who was only ten years old, and knew that they must be concerned at this moment.

At this time, the curtain of the east room was opened again, but it was Lingxiang who was not on duty tonight who came in.

After Ling Xiang came in, she first saluted Hua Jin, and then said: "There was a mess outside just now, and the slave maid was afraid of disturbing the five girls, so she came to take a look." ”

Lingxiang left the impression on Hua Jin during this time that she was steady and clever, and when she came over at this time, she must have something to say.

Hua Jin didn't sell Guan Zi either, and asked her bluntly: "Lingxiang, what happened outside?" ”

"Fifth girl, the slave maid happens to live next door to Yuping and Yulu, just now when Mother Du sent someone to interrogate Yulu, the slave maid accidentally heard one or two." After speaking, Ling Xiang raised her eyes and looked at Hua Jin, and the white peach peach and Yanran standing beside her.

"There are no outsiders here, so you might as well say it if you have something to say."
