It was Zisu who was calling, and she had returned to the secret passage from outside. I wonder if the turmoil outside has subsided?

Yu Qi and Sanxi had not yet come out of the place of the lantern worm at the moment, and stopped because they heard Zisu's call. When he heard this, he hurried out of the stone door and returned to the secret chamber.

Seeing Zisu holding a candle lamp, panting and rushing in.

At this point, Zisu was shocked by the scene in front of him, and with his mouth open, he was watching Yu Qi and Sanxi hurriedly push the stone door.

Yu Qi thought that Zisu had brought someone in, and when she came out, she quickly closed the door to cover people's eyes and ears. But the stone door seems to be stuck, and no matter how you push it, it won't move.

Sanxi was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and said, "Girl, what should I do?" ”

Yu Qi was relieved, spread his hands and stood by the door, then calmly faced Zisu and said, "Sister, people also came in?" ”

Zisu said: "No." "Slowly walked towards Yu Qi, but his eyes were fixed on the stone gate." You've just just gone in? ”

Yu Qi nodded and said, "I'm in." I can't close the door right now, I thought someone from outside had come in! ”

Zisu raised the lamp and wanted to stretch it in, but Yu Qi hurriedly pulled her away and said, "There's something inside, it's weird and scary." My sister helped me figure out a way to close this door. ”

When Zisu heard this, there was a "buzz" in his ears, and he said hurriedly: "What is it?" Are you all okay? ”

Yu Qi nodded, his face full of helplessness. Suddenly I thought of the bracelet on my wrist, and pulled it out again.

Zisu saw it and said, "Is this bracelet opened?" ”

Although Zisu asked, he looked down at the round groove on the ground.

Sanxi said: "We just came, and the girl didn't open it for a long time." That is, when the bracelet was placed on the top, it was opened. Why can't I close it now? ”

These words reminded Yu Qi. Without thinking, she removed the bracelet and placed it in the groove the same way she had done before.

I saw that the bracelet was put down, and it was sucked by the groove, and there was originally a circle of water on the groove, and in an instant, the water seeped into the stone, and there was not a drop left. Immediately after, I heard the sound of "la-la-la-la" chains, and the stone door "coo-coo" pulled and closed.

The three of them involuntarily retreated, stunned as the stone door closed automatically.

The door was slammed shut, and the chamber was restored to its original state, with no seams in sight.

Zisu saw that the two of them were still stunned, she rushed to the trough where the bracelet was placed, squatted down and took out the bracelet, and pulled it quickly.

In this way, the three of them panicked and blew out the wall lamps on the wall.

The three of them ran out of the secret passage. When he arrived at the exit of the mirror flower Xie wing, Yu Qi calmed down slightly.

Zi Su said: "Huiyuan's marriage is messy enough. It's all thankful, not because of you, and it's not for you. ”

Yu Qi wondered: "Why is that? ”

Zi Su said coldly: "It's a blessing that it's none of our business, where do you still have the heart to worry about others else?" I didn't ask and didn't want to ask. ”

Here, Zisu is not unwilling to inquire, nor is he unaware of the reason, but he just refuses to say a word about Zhuangfu.

Yu Qi listened to the results well and relaxed his mood slightly.

Out of the secret passage.

There was a commotion of people outside.

Zisu and Sanxi worked together to close the secret road button, Yu Qi walked to the window, looked out, and said strangely: "Everyone has come to live in Shouzhong?" Why is it so noisy? ”

After closing the secret passage, Zisu clapped his hands and sighed: "There is still trouble, the girl can go back to the room with peace of mind!" It's rare to meddle in other people's business. Listen to me, and leave far away, so that you can stop right and wrong. Since then, this village has been afraid of peace. ”

With an "ah" sound, she heard that there was something in Zisu's words. Therefore, Yu Qi begged and asked, "My sister will tell me, what is going on outside?" ”

Zisu pondered for a while before saying, "The girl is dirty, I'll go boil water." Let's wash it first! ”

That's right, I just went through all kinds of dangers inside, and I almost died without returning, and in that place, where can I come well? Looking at Sanxi, she didn't say anything with tears on her face, her hair was messy like weeds, and her head and face should be the same.

Obey Zisu's words and go out. Out of the room, Yu Qi remembered that he also had a lamp before, blew it out on the side of the gourd stone, and put it there, but he forgot to bring it out when he came out at the moment.

Yu Qi was shocked: "It's broken, the lamp I brought in is still inside." ”

Zi Suman said nonchalantly: "Girl, do you still want to go in?" ”

Sanxi shook his head vigorously: "If you don't go in, I won't go in if you kill me." ”

Zisu was puzzled: "What did you see inside?" But just like that time, there was ......"

That time I strayed in, saw a strange scene, got a strange flower, and bumped into a big black snake. It can be described vividly.

Yu Qi was in a mess and shook his head.

Sanxi said: "There are people inside, people whose whole bodies are frighteningly white." Girl, you must hold her and don't let her go again. ”

Seeing Yu Qi's face, Zi Su knew that it was not the time to talk about in-depth research at the moment, so he reached out and grabbed her, and said, "Just now I saw that it was dark there, who noticed where your lamp was." Girl, don't think about it, and said, this big house is not just you and me, maybe others take it in, and if we investigate it, we will deny it to the death, and we are afraid that we can't rely on it? Since it is secretive, they may not dare to interrogate the public. ”

It's not wrong to think about Zisu's words. Yu Qi only opened his footsteps and followed out.

Turning out of the mirrored courtyard, the commotion outside became clearer, and the sky reflected a translucent firelight.

At this moment, Shouzhong Curie is brightly lit inside and out, as bright as day.

Zisu asked Sanxi to help Yu Qi into the room to rest, and went to serve water by himself. Waiting for Zisu to bring water in, Yu Qi had already changed her clothes, and she was seeing her urging Sanxi to change too.

Zisu put down the water, took the hand towel and soaked it in water, wrung it out and handed it to Yu Qi. On the other hand, he said, "The water is boiling, girl, wait, wipe your face first." ”

Yu Qiwan smiled, took the hand towel, and wiped it on his face a few times at will.

Zisu thought she was wiping it casually, so she reached out to get the towel again, helped with the tidying herself, and said, "I know that the girl won't give up if she doesn't go over." So, I don't have to make it too clear, the girl has to go over and see, why not wait for someone over there to come and ask for it? ”

Yu Qi took Zisu's hand and looked at her: "Why?" Hurriedly urged: "Sister doesn't have to play dumb riddles with me, even if it's none of our business, we are under this roof, how much I know in my heart, and it's good to know." My sister didn't say anything, I went, in case I said something that shouldn't be said, wouldn't it be a slap in the face? ”

Zisu put down the hand towel, picked up the orchid finger, and gently poked it on Yu Qi's forehead: "I'm really afraid of you!" People really want to avoid it for you, and you don't have good intentions, so you have to get together to dye your whole body in ashes. I'll just tell you......"

Zisu was going to tell Yu Qi, but unfortunately, the voice of bamboo came from outside.

Zhu'er snorted: "Where is the girl?" "The person has floated in, just in time to interrupt Zisu's words.

In a blink of an eye, I saw Zhu'er's sorrowful face, came in to see Yu Qi, saluted first, and then said: "The old lady asked me to come over and see the girl, is the girl okay?" ”

Yu Qi got up, went to help Zhu'er's hand, and said with concern: "Sister Zhu'er, I'm good." How are the old ladies and ladies? ”

Zhu'er's eyes were red, and tears fell.

Yu Qi hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe it for her, and wanted to help her sit down and talk. Unexpectedly, Zhu'er refused, and said hurriedly: "The old lady blamed herself for being in a hurry, and she didn't come over to ask the girl for a while." I just settled the affairs of Dongfu, and it was almost midnight when I thought of the girl. If the girl is good, I will go back and say a word to the old lady. ”

Yu Qi refused to let go of the bamboo: "What the hell is going on?" The old lady asked me to come back, and when I heard the chaos, I was so frightened that I didn't dare to go out. Oh, by the way, how is Huiyuan in Dongfu? Because the second half of the sentence was wrongly titled, Yu Qi straightened up again: "How is the sister-in-law?" ”

Zhu'er shook his head: "The eldest master was arrested." ”

Yu Qi was stunned, and the handkerchief fell from his hand to the ground.

Zisu didn't say anything, and slowly squatted down to pick up the handkerchief for Yu Qi. At that time, Sanxi had already changed his clothes and walked out, and when he heard Zhu'er say that the eldest master was arrested, he asked, "Sister, why was the eldest master arrested all of a sudden?" ”

Zhu'er shook her head, either not knowing, or knowing that she would not speak.

took off Yu Qi's hand, and Zhu'er floated out to return to Shouzhongju.

At that moment, Yu Qi said to Zisu: "Let's go, let's go over and take a look." ”

Zisu stuffed the handkerchief into Yu Qi's hand, turned around and sat on the kang, and said coldly: "I'm not going!" ”

Yu Qi responded to half a sentence with "um", so he gave Sanxi a look. The master and servant went out one after the other, and also went to live in Shouzhong.

Out of the mirror flower Xie courtyard gate, the corner is the outer courtyard of Shouzhongju. When I got to the outer courtyard, I saw the girls coming in and out, and the servants and mothers were standing in the courtyard in layers and talking. For a while, I saw the eldest girl Zhuang Hu leading the girl in a hurry and walking through the crowd to go inside.

Yu Qi stopped his steps and took a few looks. Zhuang Hu walked by, they all saw each other, but Zhuang Hu pretended not to see her, and did not greet her. Yu Qi speculated in his heart that the sudden incident in the Zhuang Mansion seemed to be quite serious.

Approaching the pile of subordinates, the subordinates stopped talking and turned sideways to make way for Yu Qi. Fang was about to walk inside, and there was a jingle of beads behind him, and when he turned his head to look, he saw that Huiyuan was coming.

Huiyuan's phoenix crown and xia curtain outfit look like they are getting married today; At this moment, he is supported by a girl, followed by two mothers-in-law, and two attendants with lanterns on the side. Yu Qi wanted to turn around and greet her, but Hui Yuan hooked her head and frowned, but she didn't look at her. The two approached each other, Huiyuan took a step or two, and finally did not stop, and went to Shouzhong Ju.

At that moment, Yu Qi's heart was empty, and infinite sorrow poured out.

Yes, that person is not Huiyuan, not a person who lives and dies with her and has gone through all kinds of dangers! That person is now a rich and noble grandmother, and the whole house supports her.

But why does my heart hurt so much when I trust her again? So uneasy? Yu Qi thought silently.

Sanxi saw Huiyuan enter the longevity of the middle house, "hum", and said to Yu Qi: "The girl is so good to her, can't you think of today?" ”

Sanxi's words are quite ironic and extremely cold.

The corners of Yu Qi's mouth twitched slightly, and he had something to say in his heart, but he couldn't get half a sentence out. Some words are clearer than they are spoken, and some hurt, and they don't have to bleed to be painful.

Walk slowly in front of the crowd.

On the steps, it is the door of Shouzhongju, and now it is full of people, most of them are the servants of the big girl in charge of the affairs of the head of the house, they are slightly more concerned than the people below, and they dare not discuss, only stand on their sides, and listen to the masters inside.

inside.

The old lady sat in the hall, Zhuang Lu, Zhuang Qin, and Zhuang Yao sat down, and Zhuang Pu, Zhuang Jue, and Cha Shide stood on the side, and Cao's, the county lord, and Aunt Yi sat opposite each other, and Aunt Lixi, Aunt Yuan, and a group of girls and girls stood on the side. At the end of the row, Aunt Nazha and Aunt Dongfu sat on the Western stool of the concubine. Aunt Nazha stood next to her mother-in-law who taught etiquette, but she didn't see the exquisiteness, the little aunt in Dongfu only wiped her tears and cried, Zhuang Hu was on the side, with one hand on the shoulders of the little aunt, with comforting affection.

Huiyuan stood far behind Zhuang Hu, quietly, hanging his head. But her red body was so eye-catching that Yu Qi saw her as soon as she reached the steps.

At this time, everyone was silent.

Yu Qi entered through the door lightly and went to the girl's pile. Before he could stand still, he heard the old lady lament.

Zhuang Lu got up and said, "Why haven't you come back yet?" Raising his hand to the person outside: "Go and see again, see back, hurry up and run to the old lady to say." ”

The servant outside answered "yes" and went quickly.

Rest, the old lady said, "Who sent Lao Fujin?" ”

Cao Shi got up and replied: "I let Guiyuan and Fei Jiu go, and I have assigned the heads of all the houses in the East Mansion, and the wives and grandmothers in the mansion who have heads and faces have been assigned to send them." It's not enough, and I transferred the people in the outside businessmen, so I know it! The old lady need not worry. ”

The old lady nodded: "Then who will stay and take care of Dongfu now?" What did the doctor say? ”

Cao Shi paused and looked towards Zhuang Hu.

Zhuang Hu came out and said: "Mrs. woke up, she was worried about the old lady, and she was worried about the old lady, so she asked me to come over to see, she felt fine, and said that she wanted to come to worship the old lady, I comforted me on my own, and didn't let my wife come." ”

The old lady said, "That's how it should be." Your wife does not know what sin she has suffered, and she has received these retributions. It's too late, so if you're pregnant, go back! You can't help with these things, and it will be confusing to be here. ”

The crowd listened, but did not move.

The county lord said: "Everyone is afraid that the old lady is too worried, so it's better to stay with you." I wonder how the uncle is now? ”

The old lady was reminded and looked at Huiyuan.

Hui Yuan snorted, raised his chin slightly, and replied: "Uncle is still drunk and lying down, so let me pour sobering soup." I vomited a little and now I'm asleep. ”

The old lady snorted, "What are you doing on this big happy night, you are still running here for the bride." Uncle is asleep, and your mother-in-law doesn't know that she is guarding her when no one looks at you? Alas......"

These words clearly blamed Huiyuan for misconduct, and everyone heard it, but they were not angry. Huiyuan raised his eyes slightly to look at Zhuang Hu, then hooked his head again, and the tears couldn't stop falling.

Zhuang Hu turned to the side slightly and said to Huiyuan: "What the old lady said is that sister-in-law should go back first!" ”

In this way, Hui Yuan Qi took a few gifts and was helped out by the girl's mother-in-law.

Judging from those words and deeds just now, it was not that Huiyuan was willing to come, it must have been Zhuang Hu who signaled her to come, and the tears on her face were wronged. Yu Qi looked at the back of the crowd, and naturally thought so in his heart.

As soon as Huiyuan left, the housekeeper and Si'er ran in from outside, wiping sweat and panting. Entering the hall, he bowed down and reported: "Old lady, not only the eldest lord of our house, but also the adults who handled the foreign education case a few months ago have been detained. ”

Zhuang Qin fidgeted and said busily: "Did you ask out?" ”

The housekeeper said: "The people from the criminal department didn't dare to say it, but only told the Lord to ask for it." said that the Queen Mother made an edict early the day before, and this matter was not handled suddenly. ”

Zhuang Yao said coldly: "It's no wonder that during the banquet, the posts were all down, and the people of the more than ten prefectures did not come under the pretext, and someone dared to know the news in advance." Old lady, if you want me to say, you have to go out and ask the queen mother. ”

The old lady said angrily: "How to ask? For people, it's an errand for official business! But what kind of official business is wrong? Did you ask about it? Where is the eldest lord now? What to do? Did you ask any of these? ”

The housekeeper was anxious and couldn't reply.

The old lady patted the case: "Confused things!" ”

Here, the outside reported: "Beizi has arrived." ”

In a blink of an eye, I saw Su Yuan coming in a hurry, and a small guy in front of him was invited with a lantern. Seeing this, everyone hurriedly rushed to meet them.
