"Girl, the paper is here." Qingyue lifted the curtain and came in from outside the door, holding a large roll of paper in her hand, this kind of rough paper doesn't look very good, but it is the best to be a paper person.

"The steward didn't say anything?" Yu Xi didn't raise her head.

"The steward didn't say anything, only that there wasn't much left, and if the girl wanted it, she had to go outside to buy it first." Qingyue said with a grin.

"Where's the ribbon?" Yu Xijiao put down the pen in her hand.

"I also took a few ribbons, and like before, the stewards didn't say much." Qingyue said, the housekeeper's mother-in-law has a very good attitude, and she didn't embarrass herself because of her own girl.

"Girl, the slave thought that the steward would reprimand the slave, but I didn't expect the steward's attitude to be so good." Qingyue said and took out a Buddhist scripture from her cuff.

"I heard that the girl also copied some Buddhist characters, and the mother-in-law in charge also took a copy to the slave maid, saying that the lady went to ask for it before, and it was to make a talisman, and after doing it, it was sent to a famous temple, and it was placed in front of the Buddha to worship for a period of time, and when it was taken back, it would be effective."

Yu Xijiao stretched out her hand to take it and looked at it, a very ordinary Buddhist scripture is the kind that persuades people to be kind, but she can't see anything.

Most of the amulets in Beijing are asked for by themselves, but some of them are made by themselves, and then sent to the Buddha to worship for a period of time, the latter will make people feel more sincere, and they will also feel that the Buddha will be more protective.

There is also a special ritual worship, which is more solemn and often makes people feel that there is also a sense of warding off evil spirits.

"Who did Madame make amulets for before?" Yu Xijiao asked casually.

"It was said that it was for Mrs. Qianfu, but I didn't inquire about any specific slaves and maids." Qingyue said with a smile, she asked like this at the time, and her mother-in-law didn't hide it, she asked her and said.

Yu Xijiao's long eyelashes flashed twice, and her eyes fell on the Buddhist scripture in front of her again, no matter how you look at it, it is a very ordinary Buddhist scripture, and she reached out and touched the cover.

"Qingyue, you go and bury some shredded paper and rags tonight, it should be almost done today." Yu Xijiao commanded, and the Buddhist scriptures were accepted.

Qingyue answered and went to Mama Xu to help.

The three masters and servants are also considered skilled workers, and when it comes to night, they are almost done, after dinner, after Yu Xijiao perfected the paper figure, she mixed the excess paper and ribbon together, and let Qingyue wrap it up and bury it in the place where she was buried yesterday.

It's good to bury it and let it rot.

In the Yaoshui Pavilion, the other maids and mothers-in-law have already slept, only the lights in the main room are flickering, and the clear moon comes out of the middle room, and the shadows are long under the lights.

Closing the door of the main house, Qingyue was carrying a small package in her hand, all of which were some cut waste paper and some different ribbons.

Transferred to a tree in the backyard, it was buried here yesterday, and it is still buried here today, Yu Xijiao has been very careful about this matter, and deliberately let Qingyue come to bury it at night, just for fear of any accidents.

Qingyue was also very careful, after burying all the papers, she came back again, and after the door was closed, there was a voice coming out of the main room, which seemed to be tidying up, and then Qingyue freshened up for Yu Xijiao.

Mama Xu came in from outside, looked out the window, lowered her voice and said, "Girl, it's Yan'er." ”

"Who?" The wet wipes in Qingyue's hand fell into the basin.

"It's Yan'er." Mama Xu looked at Qingyue and said in a deep voice.

"This ...... How can it be? Qingyue was almost speechless in shock, and opened her mouth, this was too unexpected, she could guess Nian Chun or Nian Xia, but she definitely didn't guess Yan'er's rough maid, "Yan'er is so pitiful...... How could she be staring at the slave, could it be a coincidence? ”

"After you went out, this girl came out of the room, turned to the back, and then came back secretly, and she came back, and you came back, one after the other, not much time apart." Mama Xu said.

"Auntie...... Girl? Qingyue looked at Yu Xijiao with blank eyes.

The corners of Yu Xijiao's lips hooked, "Where I buried it yesterday, are there any traces of anyone moving?" ”

"No, the slave and maid have seen it deliberately, and they were very careful when they were buried yesterday, and they paid more attention today." Qingyue hurriedly shook her head, and when she went to bury it today, she deliberately checked it carefully for a long time before burying it.

Yu Xijiao sat down at the table, reached out and took the Buddhist scripture placed on the side, and shone it on the light.

"Qingyue, why do you believe in Yan'er's maid ring so much?"

The slave maid thinks...... She is pitiful, her biological mother is such a person, and she usually cares about work, so it can't be her. Qingyue bit her lower lip.

She really didn't believe that Yan'er would be a person who stared at her buried shredded paper tightly and plotted against her, but today the girl asked Mama Xu to stare at herself early in the room next to see if the black shadow she said yesterday was true.

Yan'er was very pitiful, but Mama Xu couldn't be wrong, Qingyue's back couldn't help but start to break out in a cold sweat, thinking that it could be that she was dazzled yesterday and let the girl follow with a false alarm.

"Poor people don't have people to hate? If this world can be divided into black and white so simply, how can there be so much right and wrong. Yu Xijiao raised her eyebrows, and suddenly her hand stopped.

"Mama Xu, bring me a pair of scissors."

Mama Xu turned around and went inside, found a small pair of scissors in the sewing kit that she had just packed up, took them out and handed them to Yu Xijiao, and said uneasily: "Girl......"

Yu Xijiao shook her hand, reached out and took the small scissors, and cut the corners of the cover of the Buddhist scriptures, and then cut them in other corners.

Putting down the small scissors, he reached out and groped for the cover a few times, and suddenly felt a piece of cloth from inside.

The cloth is folded up, and it is stuffed in the gap of the cover, and the gap is also glued, if you don't cut the cover, it is impossible to find a small piece of cloth in it.

The cloth was spread out under the lamp, and there were dull spots on it that looked like bloodstains, and the rest were some strange handwriting, which made people look shocking and chilled.

Qingyue's voice was trembling, and her feet were soft: "Aunt...... Girl, this ...... What is it? ”

Yu Xijiao took a deep breath, following the train of thought last night, she had been thinking, thinking that if this matter was really like what she thought, it must be more than this, and there should be some necessary triggers or strong identification conditions.

Just a few buried paper and ribbons, even if there are more things, are not enough to show that he is practicing witchcraft.

So, that's the most powerful proof.

took a deep breath, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes under the light, Qian was so vicious that he not only wanted his own life, but also the lives of everyone around him!

"Girl?" Mama Xu's voice was also a little trembling.

Yu Xijiao picked up small scissors and cut the two corners of the outer cover of the back, revealing a blood-colored cloth inside.

The spots on this are real bloodstains.

Witchcraft! This is what Yu Xijiao suddenly woke up to last night.

No matter which house is involved in witchcraft, the best way is to first control people, and then keep the secret, and put to death those who may leak the secret.

It is absolutely impossible to say what is left, and it is not directly contaminated with witchcraft.

"It's going to take us here...... All of them were put to death. Yu Xijiao said quietly.

"Girl...... Be...... Is that one? Mama Xu had already guessed something, and when she heard Yu Xijiao say this, although her face changed greatly, she still insisted on alluding to it.

"Yes, this is a scripture that is said to be an evil curse." Yu Xijiao said word by word, raised her eyes to look at Qingyue, who was already trembling and speechless, and Mama Xu, who was holding on, "But if this matter is found to have something to do with us, it is impossible for a few of us to survive." ”

"Master Hou...... Hou Ye is the girl's biological father. Mama Xu exclaimed, although she knew that things were not good, she didn't expect things to be so big.

"So what? Even if it wasn't for him, for the sake of other children, he had to get rid of me, not only did he have to get rid of it, but he also had to get rid of it quietly, so that no one could find out, and get rid of all of us involved, so that no one would find out that this matter had something to do with the Xuanping Marquis Mansion. ”

Yu Xijiao sneered.

"The eldest princess...... The eldest princess will protect you. Mama Xu trembled.

Yu Xijiao shook her head: "This kind of thing, my father won't let others know, when I can know, you and I will already lose our lives, even if my grandmother feels sorry for me again, what can I do?" ”

The magic of witchcraft is also heard of among the people, but in fact, for the royal family, it is even more terrifying, the best way is to bury everything, so that people do not find out that this matter has something to do with their own house, otherwise they may drag the entire house to follow the funeral.

"Girl, ma'am...... How dare you do that? Mama Xu finally relented, gritted her teeth and said hatefully, "She is not afraid that she will also be involved." ”

"She must have other plans, and this matter can't be related to her, and maybe even for this matter, her father feels that she has been wronged." Yu Xijiao said softly, stretched out her hand to light the cloth, lit it and threw it on the ground, watching the cloth burn to ashes in the firelight, this kind of thing is the bane if it stays, and it can't be left anyway.

Everything disappeared in the firelight, and the faces of the three masters and servants flickered in the firelight, but none of them spoke.

Finally, everything was burned out, and Qingyue had already reacted at this time, taking a broom and sweeping away the ashes.

"Girl, what shall we do now?" Putting down the broom, Qingyue asked in a choked voice, at this time she would never say if she was wrong.

Almost, at this time, let alone seeing Yan'er, even if she saw Mama Xu secretly following her, she would truthfully report to the girl.

Thinking that she almost hurt the girl because of her own negligence, Qingyue's face was as pale as snow, and the girl's affairs could not tolerate the slightest negligence.

"Qingyue, send the other paper and ribbons back tomorrow, and tell the steward that we have finished making them, and we will not do them again in the future, and we will no longer need this kind of paper and ribbons."
