Chapter 188: Rat Guts and Snake Heart
In recent days, the two girls of An Ning and Firecrackers will go to Zhaoxi Pavilion to scare the eldest lady every night.
Aunt Mo also began to get nervous, thinking that the West Garden was really haunted.
"Could it be that the other day I asked Mr. Yin and Yang for advice, and the method of excessibility was unsuccessful? The ghosts of Aunt Xin and the Pearls are still here? ”
Cheng Nianxi sat at the foot of the bed with a quilt, staring at every corner of the room with wide eyes.
Before, she had nightmares every day, and even nightmares from time to time, and she couldn't move her hands and feet.
I just thought that Aunt Xin and Zhuque came to beg for her life together, so she hurriedly sent someone out to ask for some rune paper back.
Whenever the clouds cover the moon, they will burn to them, and once they almost caused a fire in Zhaoxi Pavilion, so they did it.
She knows that she is like a remnant flower that is gradually withering one petal at a time, and there will never be a day of rejuvenation.
But she still has to take care of Chengfu, her family, and the safety of the people she wants to protect the most, and she can't fall yet.
At least, it can't fall before Qi Xiaoyun!
"You say, with such a rat guts as the eldest lady, you still dare to harm people one after another?"
An Ning looked at Cheng Nianxi's madness every night, and really didn't understand:
"Looking at her appearance, she doesn't look like some ferocious person, a hundred ghosts are inviolable, and the gods and Buddhas are disrespectful,
Obviously scared to death, as if he was ashamed in his heart, how could he be so ruthless? ”
"Maybe it's because she can't help herself, maybe the evil is not in the face, the rat is gallant, maybe her viciousness will always prevail
Her remaining good thoughts and fears are why she repeatedly resolves and kills people without blinking. ”
Firecrackers replied thoughtfully.
"Anyway, no matter what, whether it is forced or deliberate, she always has to pay the price for what she has done!"
A few days later, news came out from the West Garden that the eldest lady was seriously ill and needed to recuperate, and all the care of the back garden was temporarily handed over to the second lady.
"You say, if we go on like this, we won't really scare Cheng Nianxi to death, right?"
When the firecrackers entered the door, An Ning was incense for the old lady.
She just came out of the little master's room and sent a new pillow modeled after the old lady's old pillow, saying that she had found that the old lady's pillow had been opened.
So I took it back and sewed it up privately, and the little young master also had a fresh head for two or three days, telling her that since she was holding the pillow, she couldn't dream of her grandmother.
It's better to stuff the pillow in the cupboard and keep it safe, or you can treasure it.
Seeing him say this, Firecrackers didn't mention much joy in his heart, this pillow is far inferior to the old lady's pillow in terms of fabric and stitches.
As long as the little young master takes a closer look, he will find the clues, the old pillow is evidence, she naturally can't return it to him, so she can only move the flowers and trees to deceive the little young master first.
"Huh? What did you say? ”
Firecracker thought about the pillow and didn't listen to the peaceful muttering in his ears for a while.
"I said, if we go to the West Garden like this and pretend to be a ghost, will we scare Cheng Nianxi to death?"
"It shouldn't be ....."
Firecracker shook his head: "I always feel that there is something strange about this matter....."
"What's wrong? What other tricks does Cheng Nianxi want to come up with? ”
"I don't know, maybe I'm too sensitive, after all, in the face of an opponent like the eldest lady,
It's really not okay to be on the lookout from time to time. ”
"That's right!" An Ning nodded approvingly: "Who knows if she will suddenly have some moths." ”
In order to collect evidence for the old lady's death, Firecracker proposed to go out of the house to Guangmaotang to find Le Liujiang, hoping to get more things about the soul withered grass from him.
In the future, he can also be invited to testify for the old lady, but after listening to Anning, he was hesitant, and seemed to have doubts, but under the repeated questioning of firecrackers,
She still went to Guangmaotang with firecrackers, and as expected, on the first day, Le Liujiang refused her request and told her,
He would not tell her anything about the Soul Withered Grass again, let alone testify for them.
"What is this! You are a healer! There is no essential difference between punishing adultery and eliminating evil and curing diseases and saving people! ”
"My hands only care about saving people, not harming people!"
Leliujiang still didn't raise his head.
"How can this be harmful? It's just that Mr. came forward to identify the soul withered grass. ”
"I don't want to accompany you!"
Le Liujiang still replied indifferently.
"Leliujiang, don't be too ....."
An Ning, who had been standing aside without saying a word, finally couldn't help but speak.
"Am I excessive? It's you who is too much, and you are not allowed to bring outsiders to my Guangmao Hall in the future. ”
Le Liujiang raised his hand and ordered at the door.
"Sending off guests."
"Yes......"
When you hear this, you can only step in and respectfully ask the firecrackers and tranquility to leave.
"Sure enough, it's a weirdo!"
Firecrackers really can't think of any reason for him to refuse, is it because he doesn't want to be implicated?
"I thought it was a miracle doctor, but it turned out to be just a gallant mouse......
"It's not that he's timid, it's just ....."
There seems to be a word of suffering in tranquility.
"Just what?"
But she didn't think so, could it be that there was some earth-shattering secret?
"It's just that he has a strange temperament and is not good at words."
"What a reason for this! To condone sin is to disregard human life! ”
The firecrackers rolled their eyes.
"Okay, okay, let's go back first, we'll always think of a way."
The two returned to Hengfu, and Pear Blossom was waiting in the East Garden.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?"
Firecrackers saw her anxious.
"The second lady is not feeling well....."
"Okay, I'll go back with you."
When she followed Pear Blossom into Zhaoxi Pavilion, the second lady was lying on the couch sighing.
"Madame....."
"Oops!" The man on the couch didn't seem to hear it, but still lamented loudly.
"Oops! It's so uncomfortable for me to die, so it's better to let me die......"
"Madame, what's the matter?"
Firecracker turned his head and asked Ruyu behind him.
"I don't know, it's been like this since I woke up in the morning, and my stomach is bloated."
"Have you asked for a doctor?"
"Please, it's no big deal, the pulse is normal, maybe I ate a little too much for dinner last year."
"Then what is she still crying and shouting about?"
The firecrackers were puzzled.
"I don't know, I think I miss you......"
Ruyu snickered on the side, isn't her wife the best at acting?
Although I am scolding these days, I am always looking forward to the day when firecrackers suddenly appear at the door.
"Ma'am, Firecrackers are back to see you."
Rika walked over to the bed.
"Who? Who's back? ”
The second lady seemed to come back to her senses, her eyes glanced in the direction where she was standing, and then she spun around.
"Yo, do you still know to come back? I thought some people were taking root in the East Garden....."
When the slave heard that the lady was unwell, she hurried over....."
"I'm fine, what can I do, even if there is anything, I can't bother you."
"Madame, what are you talking about, the slave maid is also from the South Garden."
This person is also cautious, why is he still thinking about it now?
"Hey, since you're back, let's have a good chat, there's nothing you can't get over, right?"
Granny Zhou on the side saw that the master and servant were still deadlocked, and hurriedly interjected to come in to relieve the siege.
"I'm hungry and haven't eaten since morning......
The second lady suddenly covered her stomach, looking like she was about to faint from hunger.
"The slave maid went and made some food for the lady."
Firecrackers understood that this woman must have missed her fruit tea and pastries.
As soon as she left, Second Mrs. Qi's stomach was no longer swollen, and her arms were gone, so she sat up from the couch with a sigh.
Looking at her back, he hooked the corners of his mouth proudly.
Granny Zhou looked at this pair of masters and servants who seemed to be enemies, and shook her head helplessly.
Her young lady has been married into Hengfu for more than ten decades, how can she still be like a child?
How can this be?
The firecrackers went back to the small courtyard to make pastry soup and fed the second lady.
The relationship between master and servant has finally eased somewhat.
Early the next morning, she got up and went to the East Garden to call the young master to get dressed and get up, because today was the first day that the new teacher entered the house.
I have to let the little master leave a good impression on Mr., she urged the little master to go to the study, and she planned to clean the house for him.
And took the opportunity to take away the old pillow, in case it was discovered by the playful little master one day, that is, it couldn't be explained.
She opened the wardrobe and was about to put a cover on the new pillow, but she didn't want to have no pillow in the cabinet except for a few sets of clothes from the young master.
