Chapter Seventy-Two: The Price

Autumn leaves.

The county lord not only knows everything about his family, but he even knows about Akiba.

Hongmei Zilan looked at each other, while Mo Ju and Cuizhu looked cold.

"Hanlu, take the life of Autumn Leaves in exchange for the position of the big girl next to the housewife, are you happy to sit every day?"

"County Lord, I, I'm ......"

Hanlu looked up sharply, her eyes full of fear.

"How are you?" Lieyun bent down and looked into Han Lu's eyes, "Are you trying to say that you never thought of harming Akiba's life, that day you deliberately made Akiba mistake the time to boil medicine for the lord of this county, just to drag Akiba off the seat of the big maid so that he could take the position yourself?" “

Han Lu wiped the tears or snot on her face with her sleeve and nodded for a while.

"Hehe," Lieyun opened his eyes and stopped looking at Han Lu's embarrassed appearance, "but you don't kill Beren, but Beren will die because of you." Autumn leaves were sold by your aunt overnight, so you must have been happy at that time, right? Presumably you have long forgotten how Autumn Leaves took care of you in every possible way, only looking forward to how it would be to be a big girl by the side of your mother, and how you should be proud when you return to that dilapidated home, and finally be able to pay off your drunkard father's gambling debts, no longer have to worry about being afraid that someone will knock on the door in the middle of the night, your mother can no longer dictate to you, and you finally have the ability to let the only brother who is good to you live a well-fed and clothed life. “

"Hanlu, am I right?"

Han Lu only felt as if he had been stripped naked, his head had been dissected, and his every move and thought was exposed to the scorching sun, and there was nothing to hide. couldn't help but tighten his collar with his hand, and Hanlu's kneeling body curled up, looking thinner and thinner.

Hongmei was unmoved, but a trace of unbearability flashed in Zilan's eyes, but she remembered that the poisons that Lieyun had taken in the past year were all from the hands of Han Lu, and Han Lu was even more ungrateful and harmed people's lives for her own selfishness, which suddenly turned into hatred and spit.

Cuizhu swept over Zilan and nodded secretly. The county lord has a deep hatred of blood, and the enemy is extremely powerful, as the person around the county lord, he must not be soft-hearted when he should make a move, otherwise one wrong step may lead to the consequences of a catastrophe.

Lieyun looked at the cold dew that was as weak as grass and crawling on the ground, but there was no trace of pity in his heart. I didn't think about harming Autumn Leaves, but when I said that the position of this big girl was exchanged for Autumn Leaves' life, Han Lu didn't show the slightest surprise and surprise. It can only be said that the dead cold dew of autumn leaves has long been known or predicted.

And knowing that someone died because of herself, and that person was like a sister to herself, Han Lu could still be her big girl without changing her face, and even became Cheng Jinsi's confidant, this person is really too scheming, and his heart is really vicious.

Fighting a snake does not die, but suffers from it, such a thing Lieyun will not do.

"Then do you know why Akiba, as an aunt's henchman, lost a small life just because he delayed boiling medicine for the lord of the county, and only once, he was discarded by his aunt without hesitation regardless of the friendship between master and servant?"

Han Lu trembled and looked at Lie Yun's condescending gaze, and felt in a trance that the eyes that usually looked as bright as falling stars in the sky seemed to have turned into two dark and deep whirlpools, which were about to suck people's souls.

Han Lu lowered her head and didn't dare to look at it again, her voice was as low as a mosquito, "Go back to the county lord, because that medicine is very important to the county lord's body, Mrs. really cares too much about the county lord in her heart, even though Sister Akiba waits in front of Mrs. all the year round, and has a lot of merit for Mrs. to do things, but no matter how much she can compare to the county lord's phoenix body and gold, if you don't punish it wantonly, someone dares to commit it again in the future, and it will still hurt the county lord." That's why the lady reluctantly sold Sister Akiba. It's just that I didn't expect that Mrs. loves the county lord more than her own daughter, and she actually ...... Sister Akiba"

"You have been with your aunt for a long time, and you walk around in front of your aunt's eyes every day, do you really think that my aunt loves me more than her own daughter?"

Hearing the ridicule in Lieyun's words, Han Lu opened her mouth, but she couldn't make a sound.

Yes, if the lady really treats the county lord like a daughter, how can she be affectionate to the county lord in person, but when she returns to Rendeok Temple, she doesn't mention it, how can she always mention the county lord with joy on her face, although she has a smile on her face, the hand hidden under the table is bruised, and she wants to crush the Jinpa?

"Sister Akiba lost her life, not because she delayed boiling medicine for the county lord and committed the crime of ignoring the county lord's body," Han Lu showed a wry smile on his face, with a known sadness about his fate in his eyes, "It's that there is something wrong with that bowl of medicine." ”

"Smack, smack, smack." Lieyun clapped his hands, "Hanlu, you are really a smart person, and it is not in vain that the county lord saved your life on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival." “

"Mid-Autumn Night ......"

Han Lu muttered, it turned out that he had fallen into the hands of the county lord as early as the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, no, everyone in Cui Mansion had fallen into the hands of the county lord. The incident that night was the bureau set up by the county lord, and although he had already felt that something was wrong, he still couldn't escape it after all. And the call I heard at the gate of the Songhe Hall seemed to come from the mouth of Akiba, and it must have been the handiwork of the county lord.

Hanlu raised her head and looked at the girl in front of her, who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, "The slave and maid know that they are guilty, can you ask the county lord to solve the slave's confusion before punishing the slave and maid, what is wrong with that medicine, let the slave and maid die." “

"That medicine is not a cure for a disease, but a poison that can kill me!"

Lieyun said a word lightly, but it smashed down towards the cold dew like a thousand pounds of heavy stones, fast and fierce.

Hanlu opened his mouth widely, as if he was about to cry out "ah", but he couldn't make a sound for a long time, only gasping rapidly, like a fish out of water, desperately slapping the shore with the tail of the fish, trying to find another way to live for himself.

No wonder, no wonder!

No wonder Akiba lost his life just because of a bowl of medicine; No wonder Madame must make that bowl of medicine herself every day, and then watch the county lord drink it with my own eyes; No wonder the county lord has drunk the medicine for the past three years, but his body has not improved!

It turned out that the medicine was not used by the lady to treat the county lord for all her life, but like that poisonous ant, it was going to slowly eat away at the county lord's life!

And he actually boiled the deadly poison with his own hands, and gave it to the county lord with his own hands, for a year!

I hate that I tried my best to get rid of Autumn Leaves and get the position of the big girl next to Mrs., I thought I would be able to be a beautiful man in the future, but who thought that I would send myself to the point of no return with my own hands!

The fishtail gradually stopped struggling, and the look in Hanlu's eyes slowly disappeared.

With a "bang", Han Lu slammed his head at the feet of Lieyun, with such great strength, as if he was about to smash the bluestone slab in front of him, "The slave almost harmed the county lord, and the sin is heavy, and it is not a pity to die ten thousand times." It's just that the slave and maid have to dare to ask the county lord for mercy, and other people's slaves and maids can't take care of it, but the slave's younger brother is still young and doesn't know anything, and he begs the county lord to let him live. The slave and maid will be cattle and horses in the next life, and then come to repay the county lord. “

Time passed slowly, bit by bit, and the room was silent, and the needle drop could be heard.

Dense beads of sweat appeared on Hanlu's forehead, and finally converged into one and flowed down the corners of his eyes. The sweat entered his eyes, and he stung painfully, and Hanlu's hand lying on the ground was clenched tightly.

"Don't worry, I won't embarrass your parents, let alone your brother."

I don't know how long I knelt down, Han Lu felt that her body couldn't help but tremble, and suddenly the heavenly words of Lie Yun suddenly came to her ears.

But Hanlu didn't have the slightest joy in his heart, what would be the price behind not being embarrassed.
