Early the next morning, Pear Blossom Ruyu went to the South Park early.

When Firecrackers took the imperial doctor back to South Park, Grandma Guo had already gone out of the house again.

"Why did you bring the Imperial Doctor again?"

The second lady had just finished drinking the tonic soup and was half-lying on the couch to rest.

"It's also good to ask the imperial doctor to come over and call the pulse regularly."

Firecrackers draw the curtain shut.

"It's only the old lady you said......"

Qi smiled faintly.

"The old lady also remembers the lady in her heart, where is the use of the slave to invite?"

She tucked the corners of the quilt for Qi's family, and went out to call the imperial doctor in.

"Madame's pulse is stable, and there are no signs of impropriety, so you can rest assured."

When the firecrackers heard this, they were relieved that Guo Nanniang really didn't dare to do it.

"That's right, now the second lady's body is in her conditioning, if something happens before she gives birth,

It is also difficult for her to escape accountability, so naturally she needs to wait slowly for the opportunity to get out. ”

Waiting for the second lady to sleep, the firecrackers stood aside, watching the sun set soon,

Pear blossom Ruyu should also come back, Guo Niangniang went out early today, and she will definitely come back before the sun sets.

The firecrackers instructed the maids and headed for the front yard.

When passing by the West Garden, I saw Yan Zheng squatting at the door with his hands on his knees, his body shaking, and a whimper came out of his mouth.

When Yan Zheng was in the West Garden, she had a good relationship with her, even if she was out of the West Garden, every time Yan Zheng saw her,

Still nodding with a smile on her face, she was also relieved a lot.

Now watching Yan Zheng cry, she must have been bullied, she should have comforted her,

It's just that the gate of this West Garden is her forbidden place, and she should never stay here.

Just when she was struggling.

"Firecrackers?" I don't know when, Yan Zheng raised his head and looked at her with tears in his eyes.

Okay, I can't shake my sleeves and walk now.

"What's wrong with you?"

She asked, suspicious.

Yan Zheng couldn't help sobbing again when she heard her ask, although her eyes were still red,

But a smile barely hung on his face.

"No.... It's nothing.... It's just that I've been a little tired lately. ”

Seeing that she didn't want to say much, Firecracker comforted her and wanted to turn away.

"Firecracker ....."

"How?" She stopped.

"Yes...... Can you walk with me to the backyard? ”

Yan Zheng looked around cautiously.

"To the backyard?"

The backyard has now become a forbidden place for her.

Looking at Yan Zheng's slightly red and swollen eyes, she nodded hesitantly.

The two of them walked towards the backyard one after the other, and Yan Zheng only followed behind her and did not speak.

When she got to the stable, she caught up with the firecrackers and walked side by side with her.

She naturally knew that Yan Zheng's purpose in doing this was to avoid suspicion, after all, she was so unwelcome in the West Garden.

The two walked under the tree, and Si Yanyin saw Si Yanjin who had just come out of the stable to feed the horses.

She was so frightened that she immediately stopped, turned around and blocked in front of the kite.

"What's wrong?"

Yan Zheng was stunned by her.

"No, let's just talk about it here, don't go ahead, the stables smell weird......"

"Good ......"

Yan Zheng glanced at Si Yanjin, who was looking over not far away, thinking that the firecrackers were heard by him.

"Firecrackers, since you left the West Garden, my life has become much more difficult....."

"What? Are they making things difficult for you? ”

"That's not ......"

Yan Zheng shook his head: "It's just that you're not here, no one is with me to talk to, and those people always pay attention to your bad words in front of me,

I don't want them to turn their faces, so I can only avoid suspicion everywhere. ”

"So what's going on today?"

"Since the death of Aunt Daxin, the eldest lady's temperament has changed greatly, and sometimes it is simply unreasonable,

Now even the number of times the master goes to the West Garden is much less, and the eldest lady is still in front of people, but she is weird and tricky in the back. ”

"Quirky?" Firecrackers are incredible.

In any case, she could not associate the words "eldest lady" with "eccentric and tricky".

"yes, I can't think of any words to describe her for a while, anyway.

On weekdays, I always lock myself in my room.,According to the alley who cleaned Zhaoxi Pavilion last time,

There is often a strange smell in the Zhaoxi Pavilion, like a very strong smell of medicine, and like the smell of burning paper. ”

"Burning paper? The eldest lady won't lose her mind and go crazy, and actually burn paper in Zhaoxi Pavilion at night? ”

"I heard ....."

Yan Zheng looked left and right for a while before quietly leaning into her ear.

"I heard that it was the eldest lady who did not intercede for Aunt Xin at the beginning, and she was ashamed of her, since Aunt Xin died in the prison of the Criminal Department,

The eldest lady often had nightmares and couldn't sleep at night, and she ordered us to throw away all Aunt Xin's clothes and jewelry.

Do not stay in the West Garden, for fear of being contaminated. ”

"It's not strange that dead people's things are thrown away, and they are thrown away, right?"

Firecrackers said, this Aunt Xin is a murderer, and the eldest lady is naturally in a hurry to clear up the relationship!

"This is not the point, the point is that when several maids got up in the middle of the night, they all saw the fire in the Zhaoxi Pavilion,

I thought it was a fire, but when I walked outside the door, I was shocked to find that there were lanterns hanging all over the house. ”

"Lanterns?"

"Yes, and there was a flurry of chanting, as if it were chanting a mantra.

At that time, it was Aunt Xin's first seventh, and everyone didn't care, who would have thought of January,

Then another maid bumped into it! And now Mrs. has a habit, every time she is only allowed to go into Zhaoxi Pavilion to clean by herself,

As soon as I went in, it was a few hours, and when I came out, my expression was not quite right, and I only shook my head when I asked her.

On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the eldest lady rested after the New Year, and we drank a little wine behind our backs.

Lang'er told me that from the first time she entered the Zhaoxi Pavilion to clean, she swept out a lot of paper lanterns and rune paper from under the lady's bed.

Every paper lantern was covered with words she didn't recognize, and sometimes, chicken blood and feathers were found next to the closet.

The eldest lady gave her a silver to shut up, and disposed of the paper lanterns and chicken feathers quietly at night, so that no one could know about them.

The master told him a thousand times, but Aunt Mo just stood aside and said nothing, as if she ignored all this. ”

"Aunt Mo......"

Firecracker remembered Xiyuan's new aunt, she was really strange, and she didn't seem to be very close to the eldest lady.

She was transferred from Chengfu, and she should take care of her own lady in every way.

But when this Aunt Mo came straight into the house, she was like a secluded person, and she didn't want to come out in big or small things.

Now the eldest lady is also delirious, if it is really as Yan Zheng said, she is already almost crazy.

"I'm sick today, I wanted to go into Zhaoxi Pavilion for her to clean up, I thought as long as I didn't go under the bed,

I didn't expect it..... I didn't expect ....."

When Yan Zheng said this, his expression seemed to change a little excited.

"What didn't you expect?"

Firecrackers asked suspiciously.

"Unexpectedly, I saw blood stains on the bathroom screen, and a few silver needles and hair scattered on the ground.

I didn't dare to make a noise when I saw this scene, so I quietly went back to the hall, and hurriedly wiped it and escaped, and I don't know if the eldest lady saw it. ”

When Yan Zheng said this, he couldn't help but tremble a little again.

"Don't be afraid, she won't do anything to you, and you must not show your feet when you go back, just as usual."

Firecracker held her cold hands and said in relief.

"After talking to you for a while, my heart is much more stable, and I am no longer so afraid....."

Yan Zheng smiled gratefully: "We, poor children from a small family, where did we encounter such a thing?

I'm scared to death....."

"Don't worry, you have to tell her when you get better, don't look at what you shouldn't see, don't ask what you shouldn't ask,

Entering the Zhaoxi Pavilion, he was stupid and stupid, and everywhere he looked, the paper lanterns were just discarded straw paper.

The chicken blood in one place is just spilled tea, don't look at the eldest lady, let alone show timidity and curiosity,

As long as she takes care of the eldest lady's instructions, she can protect herself. ”

"I knew you weren't as panicked as we were!"

Yan Zheng's face was full of tiredness: "We are really tired and tired now, and we are terrified every day.

lest it anger the lady, and even more worried about breaking her secret. ”

"Don't be afraid, you just have to be as before, and now she is the one who is in the strange chaos behind her back.

Even if the East Window incident happens one day, the right and wrong of the people who fall behind the mouth is the eldest lady herself, and you will just turn a deaf ear. ”

"Good.... I see...."

The fear in Yan Zheng's eyes still faded a lot, and the firecrackers watched her leave,

When he turned around, he found that Si Yanjin had long since disappeared.

"Whew! OK! ”

From the moment she stepped into the backyard, she knew that Si Yanjin's eyes had been following her closely,

She was so frightened that she only dared to turn her back to him, not even to peek.

Presumably this guy must have been angry lately, right?

She always avoided him, wishing that she was ten miles away.

Si Yanjin saw that she had been leaving her back for him, and couldn't help but smile dumbly,

She came into the backyard herself, not him.

What to do to scare like this.

He just wanted to see her a few more times, after all, she had now given up on the big locust tree outside the courtyard,

But like a fool, he always waited for the candle in her room to go out before leaving.

Firecrackers left the backyard and met Ruyu and Pear Blossom on the way, hurrying towards the South Garden.

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Quick! Rush back to Nanyuan first, we have to expose Grandma Guo! ”

Ruyu tugged at the sleeve of the firecracker.

"Whistleblowing? Did you find the evidence? ”

She was a little surprised.

"Naturally, otherwise how dare we question her face to face!"

Rika also came to her side, and the two of them almost carried her away.

At this moment, Firecrackers felt that they were very much like Guo Nanniang, who was besieged by them left and right and went to South Park to crusade......

The three of them returned to the South Garden, and Grandma Guo seemed to have just entered the hospital, and she was walking to the door of Dounan Pavilion with the decoction.

"Stop!"

Pear Blossom suddenly opened her throat and roared, and the frightened Guo Niangniang almost knocked over the medicine bowl.
