"I-"

"Bang!" Just as the old lady opened her mouth, ready to refuse again, the basket she had just placed on the stove fell to the ground. The old lady was startled and hurriedly turned to look, but there was nothing in her cloudy eyes.

"What happened?" The old lady asked, in an eager tone.

"That basket you just put on the stove is off."

"The basket is off! How could this good basket fall? ”

"Oh, I misused the word, it wasn't dropped, it was thrown down. That person, you know too. ”

"Chen ......" The old lady first looked around, and then listened to it: "Chen Aman, is it Chen Aman?" ”

Without waiting for the old lady's voice to land, Bai Li gave Chen Aman a look. When Chen Aman nodded, he was already clinging to the old lady's body.

The cold entered the body, the old lady first snorted, followed by a weak legs, and knelt on the ground with stiff limbs: "Little ...... Miss, yes...... Is that you? I'm Xiao Xia, I'm your personal maid Xiao Xia! ”

"Natsu-chan?" Chen Aman took a step back, squatted on the ground and looked at the old lady's back: "I don't remember that there is a maid named Xiao Xia next to me." ”

"It's okay, I'll ask her." Bai Li walked up to the old lady and squatted down like Chen Aman: "Aman is here, and she told me that she doesn't remember that there is a maid named Xiao Xia next to her." ”

"I'm not lying, I'm really not lying, I'm Xiao Xia, I'm really the personal maid next to Miss." The old lady said in a loud voice, "I have something to prove it...... Prove that I'm not lying. ”

"What's that?"

"Famous brand, but all the people of our Chen family have an identity brand." The old lady trembled and took out a wooden sign from her arms, and wrote the word Xiaoxia on the wooden card.

"There are indeed two words Xiao Xia on this wooden plaque, but these two words don't prove anything, especially the relationship between you and Chen Aman."

"I-" The old lady pursed her lips, "Yes, the girl is right, this wooden sign alone does not seem to confirm what I said, let alone my own identity." But I am indeed Xiao Xia, the former maid of the Chen family, and the maid next to Miss Chen Aman. If the girl doesn't believe her, she can go to the government office and ask. Xiao Xia was originally the daughter of a sinner, and she was bought back by the Chen family to be a girl, and there should be a record in this official mansion. ”

"I'll look into what you said." Bai Li stretched out his hand and helped the old lady up from the ground: "In front of Aman, can you tell me why you sent these rice pork to her?" ”

"I-"

"Don't want to say it, or can't you say it?"

"It's not that I don't want to say it, it's not that I can't say it, but when you ask this girl, I don't know how to say it and where to start." The old lady glanced in the direction of the stove: "That's right, what was in that basket was indeed rice pork, but it was not Xiao Xia who wanted to send it, but someone sent it to Xiao Xia's house, and threatened the life of Xiao Xia's grandson, asking Xiao Xia to send this rice pork to the Chen family's old house." The man said, "This rice and pork is not for people to eat, but for ghosts, and it is for ghosts." That ghost is none other than Xiao Xia's former master, the late young lady of the Chen family, Chen Aman. ”

"Ghost worshippers?"

"Yes, that's what the man said." The old lady nodded: "I didn't believe it, I lived to such an age, I have seen a lot of all kinds of people, but I have never seen a ghost, and my young lady has been dead for many years, even if she becomes a ghost, she will not stay in this house forever, right?" Also, the Chen family's old house has been abandoned for many years, and I have never heard of rumors of haunting here. But believe it or not, I still have to take care of my grandchildren's lives. As a last resort, I had to obey the man's orders. ”

"Who's that guy?"

"I don't know!" The old lady shook her head slightly: "My eyes have been half-blind for a long time, and my ears are not particularly useful. I could only hear the man's voice, but I couldn't see him. Judging from his voice, he should be an old man like me, but he walks very softly, and he doesn't look particularly old. I estimate that this person should know martial arts, and he should be a legendary martial arts master. ”

"Martial arts master? Have you ever seen a martial arts master? ”

"I've seen it! Saw one when I was younger. The man was always dressed in black, and had two things hanging from his waist, one a saber and the other a wine gourd. His hair was messy and he looked like a beggar. But he can fly, and when he beats people, he only drinks and does not draw his sword. Back then, he was the one who drove away the horse thieves who were chasing us. There was a clear light in the old lady's pupils: "I was looking forward to meeting him again in my lifetime, but I didn't want to wait for decades." I guess I won't see him again until I die. ”

Looking at the old lady's appearance, Bai Li knew that this topic could not continue any longer, and if it continued, it would be a young girl who was rescued by a certain hero of the rivers and lakes, and fell in love, but had to marry someone else's somewhat sad unrequited love story. She coughed lightly and led the conversation back to Chen Aman.

"Since you said that you are Aman's personal maid, then how did this Aman die, you should always know, right?"

"Yes."

"How did you die?"

"I was killed by my wife." The old lady squinted her eyes: "My lady is not the biological mother of the young lady, but the continuation of the master." ”

"Stepmother?"

"That's right, in the name of our small family, it is the stepmother. My young lady's biological mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to a young lady, and the old man was grief-stricken, but he couldn't bear to see that the young lady had no mother, so he invited a matchmaker, searched the whole city, and found a woman who looked a little similar to the first lady to continue to be his wife. Because of the first lady, the lord doted on the young lady, and he couldn't see the young lady being wronged a little. When the new lady first entered the door, she didn't think there was anything, but when she learned that the old man had put the medicine to avoid children in the ginseng soup she drank every day for the sake of the young lady, she had a grudge against the old lady and the young lady."

"Is your master lame? If he doesn't want to have any more children, he clearly told your new wife, why do you hide it from others and do things in the ginseng soup that people drink every day? Even if it were me, I wouldn't be able to figure it out. ”

"How can this old man's thoughts be guessed by those of us who are subordinates." The old lady shook her head lightly: "I only know that since Madame learned about this, I can't tolerate Miss anymore." But Miss is the master's heart, lose it, can't lose it. Kill, can't kill, even if it's assassination, you need to have a safe way. ”

"So, this new lady of your family thought of eating this sick rice pork for your young lady?"

"Yes!" The old lady nodded: "If you can't kill it, then you can only make the young lady sick." As long as the young lady is sick, the new lady is sure to persuade the old man to let her give birth to another child for the Chen family. As long as she has this child, the new lady will be able to use the means to divert the master's attention to this child, and then make the young lady fall out of favor. Even if she doesn't die, she can wait until she is older and find someone to send out, and the huge property of the Chen family will fall into the hands of the new lady. ”

"It's hard for this new lady of your family, this rice pork, but it's not easy to find." Bai Li couldn't help but sigh at the horror of people's hearts.
