Xia Qianwei was punished, and the people in the courtyard listened with their ears pricked up, but they never waited for the loud noise.

The old lady asked Mama Lei to bring food over, but she was still stopped outside by the family, and everyone already knew that the general was determined to give up this daughter this time.

The sky was extremely overcast, and the heavy snow came suddenly, and the Bihe Courtyard where Xia Qianwei lived was soon covered with a layer of silver frost, with a desolate taste.

She sat alone at the window and waited all day, until the night was falling, when she finally heard the faint sound of footsteps outside.

At this time, the person who dared to disobey the general's order and stepped into her courtyard was either a charcoal in the snow, or a disciple who fell into the well, in terms of Miss Xia San's character......

Xia Qianwei couldn't help but smile.

"Third Miss, are you in there? I'm Aunt Su. ”

The unfamiliar voice made Xia Qianwei frown slightly, she remembered that Ruhua mentioned that there was an unfavored aunt in the house, but she had never seen it.

The door slowly opened, and a wave of anxiety came over me.

"Third Miss, you have suffered!"

Xia Qianwei was tightly held by a pair of rough hands, and in the dim candlelight, the thin yellow face jumped into view, she was slightly stunned, but the person who came turned around and closed the door neatly.

"Quick! eat something first, and those guys will be back later!"

“......”

This person is Aunt Su?!

Xia Qianwei's heart was full of suspicions, thinking of the other two aunts with slender figures and exquisite makeup, the woman in front of her was wearing a thin coarse cloth long skirt, with only a wooden hairpin pinned to her hair, and her simple appearance was even better than the servants in the backyard!

Without waiting for Xia Qianwei to say anything, she first wiped a handful of tears with the back of her hand and choked up, and then laughed embarrassedly.

"Look at me, I'm a worthless one. The third lady must be hungry, sit down!"

I saw that she opened the food box carved in her hand, and Xia Qianwei's eyes crossed a streamer, this Aunt Su is so simple, but the food box is a little dazzling?

Looking inside, there are small and delicate pastries on one side, and a few simple cornmeal steamed buns on the other, which are very different in appearance.

Seeing that Xia Qianwei didn't react for a long time, Aunt Su nervously raised her hand and touched her forehead, "Are you sick?" Third Miss, don't scare Auntie!"

You must know that she was punished in the past, Aunt Su secretly sent food over, Xia Qianwei always lost her temper and kept cursing and complaining, where would it be as quiet as today, she must have been frightened, right?

Xia Qianwei felt Aunt Su's sincere worries, if the relationship between the two is not excellent, or this person is too deep in the city and good at acting!

But the rude and willful third lady will get close to an unfavored and down-and-out aunt?

Xia Qianwei's heart moved, and she simply took out a silver needle generously and tried it on the pastries in the food box, Aunt Su in front of her didn't know why, until the silver needle gradually turned jet black, she didn't realize the difference, "This ......"

"Aunt Su, this pastry is poisonous. ”

Xia Qianwei dropped a sentence lightly, and Aunt Su in front of her jumped up suddenly, "What?!, this is a pastry given by the old lady, how can it be poisonous?"

She noticed that the woman in front of her was looking at her with a suspicious gaze, and she was immediately incoherent with anxiety.

"Third Miss, I didn't ...... I made a few steamed buns, and on the way I met a maidservant girl who said that Mama Lei had asked the guards to stop her, so she gave me the pastries and said that she would help me cover them up...... It's not my ......."

Aunt Su cried as she explained, and when Xia Qianwei heard it, she already had some thoughts in her heart.

Indeed, those rough steamed buns are non-toxic, if she hadn't lied, Aunt Su would have been used as a knife.

Seeing that Xia Qianwei didn't speak, Aunt Su actually knelt down towards her, "Third Miss believe me! Even if someone holds a knife to my neck, I won't ...... Otherwise, how can I be worthy of Madame's spirit in heaven?! I, I'm going to confront the old lady with pastries!"

She said that she really impulsively covered the food box, but was stopped by Xia Qianwei.

"Auntie, slow down! If you disobey your father's order to deliver food, you will be beaten to death with a stick, and if you slander your grandmother again, it will be a crime, and no one will be able to save your aunt at that time." ”

is so reckless and upright, no wonder this Aunt Su is not favored, in this cannibalistic mansion, it is really her luck to be able to live until now, or...... It's that some people don't see her as a threat at all.

"But, someone wants to harm the third miss! I'm so stupid, how dare anyone take anything given by anyone!"

Xia Qianwei understood that it was not Miss Xia San who had a relationship with Aunt Su, but Mrs. Yurong, who had passed away, so let me believe her for a while.

"Auntie are sure that the maidservant girl is from the grandmother's house?"

Aunt Su shook her head blankly, "I, I haven't left the bamboo garden for a long time, and the people in this house have changed one after another......"

Xia Qianwei knew in her heart, there was no quarrel with the world, the news was blocked, this Aunt Su didn't have a little heart, she really didn't even know how she died, Mama Lei couldn't come in, but the maid had the ability to help her cover up?

I'm afraid that the matter of my punishment was also revealed to her by someone with a heart.

"Auntie, don't worry, why don't we plan it, and go out in a while, the maid is afraid that she will find her aunt, so I'll say it when the time comes......"

At this moment, a pair of eyes were staring closely at Bihe Courtyard in the dark, until Aunt Su came out, and the maidservant girl immediately stepped forward to stop her.

"Auntie, has the third lady eaten?"

"Hey, the third lady is losing her temper, saying that she will eat later, but she can't be persuaded to do so. ”

It's okay to eat later, the third lady won't let herself go hungry anyway......

"Wait, where is this going, Auntie?"

The maid saw that Aunt Su was not going in the direction of Zhuyuan, so she immediately stopped her.

"Of course, I went to thank the old lady for the third lady, and begged for mercy by the way. ”

"Never!...... At this hour, the old lady has rested, Aunt Su treats the third lady really well, and the slave will convey it. Auntie, go quickly, it will be bad if the guards find out in a while!"

Aunt Su's hand in her sleeve couldn't help but tremble slightly, as the third lady said, this maid was not by the old lady's side at all, and she almost made a big mistake!

"Then, then I'll go back first, and let the old lady help tomorrow, but I can't starve the third lady!"

Looking at the back of Aunt Su leaving, the maid couldn't help but smile.

......

At this time, Wen, who was waiting for news in the house, changed the tea in his hand to cup after cup.

After a moment's effort, the maidservant girl had already quietly come in, knelt down in front of her, and truthfully reported Aunt Su's words.

"Heh, what an idiot! Tomorrow, are you going to collect Xia Qianwei's body?"

Wen's mood was very happy, this Aunt Su couldn't even take care of her own son, and she still wanted to help Xia Qianwei?

She gave a look, and the sturdy servant beside her immediately stepped forward and stuffed the maid with ingots of silver.

"Thanks...... Hmm?!"

Just as she was about to kneel down with the silver, her neck was instantly firmly strangled, and the maid watched in disbelief as Wen slowly stood up, leaving her indifferent back.

"Do it cleanly, I can see no blood. ”

“......”
