"Aman's death, really has nothing to do with you?"

"It's related, how can it not be related." The old lady groped her way to a place with a cane, and slowly sat down: "As the gentleman said just now, I have the intention of committing murder, and I also have the process of committing murder, and I have a heart to want the life of Aman, Nizi, but I didn't expect that before my poison was poured into her mouth, she was already sick and died." The rice pork thing, I also admit, I did it, and I put a lot of effort into finding those rice pork. But this meat is not as powerful as the legend, I have been feeding Aman since she was five years old, and after eating it for more than ten years, she is still alive and kicking, and there is nothing wrong with her. Later, I learned that this rice pork has to be eaten raw, but normal people, who would eat raw meat. ”

The old lady was also honest, although this rice pork has parasites, but in the process of cooking at high temperatures, it is possible that all these parasites will be killed. In addition, even if this is infected, there is a probability problem, Chen Aman may be lucky and escaped one disaster after another. Or, she was infected, and the parasites also entered her body through the rice pork, but the symptoms were not obvious and could not be diagnosed in detail.

In any case, Chen Aman is dead after all, and he died in the calculations of this stepmother.

"What about Master Chen, is it really as you just said, was he killed by you?"

"Yes! My old woman has lived to this age, what else is there to lie about. The old lady stretched out her hand and touched the soil on the ground: "He is buried here, under the land on which I sit." ”

"Don't you like my dad? Didn't you dream of marrying him? I'm dead, why can't you just keep my dad and live a good life with him? Chen Aman was also anxious, she walked quickly to the old lady: "Although I don't remember you, I remember that my father and my mother, that is, my stepmother, have a good relationship." You're lying to us, aren't you, you're not my stepmother at all, and what you just said isn't true. My dad wasn't killed, he died right? If he died in vain, why have I never seen him in my house? ”

"Why should I lie to you little girl?" The old lady groped and stood up: "If you don't believe what I just said, you can dig up here and see if your father is buried underneath!" ”

"I'll dig it, I just want to see if there's anyone buried under this kitchen." Bai Ze rolled up his sleeves, picked up a shovel that happened to be in his hand, and walked to the place where the old lady was standing.

"On that day, the weather was gloomy and gloomy, and there was a gust of wind in the yard from time to time. I was worried about my husband's health, so I went to the kitchen and wanted to make him a bowl of ginseng soup to drink. I was guarding the stove to make soup, but the girl from Koharu suddenly ran in. When she saw that there was no one else inside or outside the kitchen, she threatened me with Aman's affairs, saying that she knew all my secrets, and asked me to give her money, and that I should send her out of the Chen family. Who am I? How could I be threatened by a girl? I pretended to agree, and while I was talking to her, I quietly took a knife from the board over there. The knife, which is used in the kitchen to cut meat, is unusually sharp. I saw the right moment and slashed at her neck, and she immediately stopped talking. ”

"Koharu?"

"That's right, Koharu, the little girl who is by Aman's side and serves her. The rice and pork I made for Aman were all served by her. I promised her that as long as I became the true wife of the Chen family, I would set her free, and by the way, I would give her some silver taels. This girl is not greedy enough and deserves to die. ”

The old lady snorted coldly and continued.

"My head is okay, the knife directly wiped Koharu's neck, and she didn't bleed much before she swallowed directly. Outside, I'm still doing a funeral for Aman, and I can't let Koharu's body lie in the kitchen like that, let alone drag Koharu's body out in front of people all over the yard. It just so happened that there was a lot of dry wood piled up in the kitchen, so I thought I would hide her body first. Coincidentally, I had just dragged her in, and was about to clean up the blood on the ground, when the master came in. ”

"Master Chen won't come to the kitchen to find Xiaochun, right?"

"How is that possible? Xiaochun is a girl, why does the master want to look for her. The lord is here to find me. When she saw that I was not in the front yard, she went to the backyard to look for me. I was so happy that I told the master that I was making ginseng soup for him. Unexpectedly, he raised his hand and beat me, and said that I had no heart, that Aman was dead, and that I, a mother, were still in the mood to boil ginseng soup in the kitchen and drink it. I was both aggrieved and angry, I asked my lord, why am I not in the mood, I am just Aman's stepmother, not my biological mother, Aman is dead, why should I be sad? Aman is dead, isn't it just right, I can give birth to another one for the master. If the lord wants a daughter, I will give birth to a daughter, and if the lord wants a son, I will give birth to a son. If one is not enough, then give birth to two, anyway, the Chen family has a big business, and no matter how many children they have, they can afford to raise it. He said I was crazy, and he actually said I was crazy. ”

"You do seem crazy!" Bai Li looked at the old lady's crazy appearance: "If you weren't crazy, you wouldn't have said such things when Aman stopped working." ”

"I'm not crazy, I'm happy, I'm happy. Ever since I married into the Chen family, I have been suppressed by this Aman everywhere. The old man opened and closed his mouth and closed her mouth. Although I have the name of Mrs. Chen, in fact, I am the same as that Xiaochun, I am Aman's girl, the girl who stays by her side to serve her and take care of her three meals a day. Aman is dead, my good days are coming, why should I be sad, why should I be sad? I'm happy, I can't suppress the joy in my heart, and I can't wait to share my joy with others. ”

The old lady stared at the excavated pit on the ground, and under the loess, there were already traces of white bones.

"It's a pity that the master doesn't understand my happiness, just like you, thinks I'm crazy. He hit me and yelled at me to wake me up. Then he saw the blood on the ground and asked me what was the matter. I've said it, and I've said it all. He scolded me and said he was going to arrest me and take me to the officials. I looked at his face, strange, extremely unfamiliar. He is not the master I remember at all, not the gentle and very good man I remember. I hate him, I want him to disappear, I want the old man I remember to come back. So, I took the knife and slashed at his face. You'll all know what happened after that. I first dragged the old man's body to the dry firewood, and put it with Koharu's, and after the family was done and everyone left, I dug a big pit in the kitchen and buried him and Koharu on the spot. Ridiculous, right? I also think it's ridiculous, the dignified old man of the Chen family is actually buried with a little maid. ”

The floor of the kitchen was dug open, and in front of Bai Li were the bones of a man and a woman. Although many years have passed, the clothes of the two can still be clearly distinguished. The one on the left does look like the old man of a big family, and the one on the right is obviously a girl, and she is not very old, fourteen or fifteen years old.
