Chapter 63: Darkness

Zhou Ningyue saw Zhou's mother sitting on the ground, and exclaimed: "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”

She ran over quickly, and her face turned white all of a sudden: "Mother, are you injured?" What's going on? ”

Zhou's father reprimanded his daughter with a cold face: "Don't shout in the middle of the night, let the neighbors hear what they think?" ”

"But my mother is injured." Zhou Ningyue lowered her voice and cried.

Mother Zhou stood up with Zhou Ningyue's support, and comforted her daughter warmly: "Mother is fine, it's just a little burning, just apply some cool ointment." ”

Father Zhou swept away the shocked subordinates, and said in a deep voice: "Chunya, clean up here, and the others go back to sleep, it's nothing." ”

There are not many people in the Zhou family, a porter, a cook, a maid, and a servant woman doing rough work.

Chunya was the only little maid, and after listening to the master's explanation, she cleaned up, and the other three didn't dare to ask more, so they went back to the house silently.

"Yue'er, you can go back to the house too." Father Zhou looked at Zhou Ningyue, who was crying.

Zhou Ningyue didn't move: "I helped my mother take medicine and then sleep." ”

"No, go to sleep." Mother Zhou stroked her daughter's hair with her uninjured hand, and her voice was gentle, "Obedient." ”

Zhou Ningyue looked at her mother who was in pain, and then at her frowning father, and finally nodded and walked to the west wing.

"Let's go inside." In the inky night, there was a cool voice from Zhou's father.

The courtyard gradually fell silent.

Next to the pyre, Xin Yu was motionless, and a storm was set off in his heart.

What does the dialogue between Zhou's father and Zhou's mother mean?

Zhou's mother said that she killed Queen Xin, and the paper money was burned for Queen Xin.

Empress Xin...... Pomelo ......

No matter how staggering that speculation may be, when all the information is put together, it will naturally come to the surface.

Her mother seems to be the Queen Xin in Zhou's mother's mouth......

Xin Yu didn't care about digesting the stormy emotions, and came to the window of the main landlord's house with light movements, and listened through the cover of the plantains.

The lights in the east room were on, and from time to time there was a woman's inhalation, which should be Zhou's mother dealing with burns on her hands. Other than that, it's silence.

It wasn't until a long time after the lights went out that the conversation between the couple sounded again.

"I know you're uncomfortable, but you also think about our family, think about Yue'er, no matter how uncomfortable you are, you have to keep it in your heart, don't do this kind of thing in the future."

"Zhou Tong, aren't you guilty at all?"

Zhou's mother's emotions were not resolved because of the accidental injury: "You said that the one who has not given up looking for the queen mother for many years, and has been vacant in the middle palace just waiting for the queen mother to come back." As a result, he sent someone to kill the queen's mother...... If I had known this, I shouldn't have told you that the woman I met on the way to Beijing seemed to be Empress Xin......"

"What's the use of talking about this now, I'm just a small hundred, how do I know that the boss originally planned to do so. Can I not report such a big thing to the authorities? It's the one who kills, and it's Lord He who is the killer, you and I are making trouble, once there is any rumor, can we have a good end? ”

After saying so much in one breath, Zhou Tong's tone softened: "Susu, you just don't think about it, think about Yue'er." Although our family is not very rich and noble, we also raised Yue'er as a pearl in the palm of our hands, can you bear to watch her suffer, even-"

Zhou's mother seemed to be persuaded and didn't say anything more.

Zhou Tong let out a long sigh: "Sleep, forget about this when you get up after sleeping." Our family is in the capital, and the good days are ahead. ”

Zhou's mother was still silent.

After that, Zhou Tong didn't speak anymore, and after a while, a slight snoring sounded sound.

The wind blows the plantains, and in addition to the sound of snoring, there seems to be a faint sound of sobbing.

Dark clouds drifted in the sky, obscuring the bright moon, and the courtyard became pitch black and there were no fingers visible.

Xin Yu slowly got up, moved her numb legs, and stumbled towards the courtyard wall.

The girl who stood in the dark and raised her head slightly, for the first time, noticed that the wall of the Zhou family's courtyard was so high that she jumped up and fell down for the first time, but fortunately she didn't make any movement.

Xin Yu breathed slowly, used all his strength to mobilize his hands and feet that did not listen to the command, climbed the wall again, and jumped out.

The long street was empty, and there was darkness as far as the eye could see, and the girl in black walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow, as if stepping on a mire.

I don't know how long it took, but the eyes that had adapted to the darkness finally saw the outline of the Green Pine Bookstore.

The sleeping bookstore was no different from other houses, but it made the girl with a frozen expression blink slightly.

A light in the east courtyard was still on for her, and Xiaolian heard the knock and quickly opened the door.

"Girl-" The latter words came to an abrupt end when she saw Xin Yu's pale face, and Xiaolian was flustered, "Girl, what's wrong with you?" ”

She had never seen a girl look so depressed!

"Little Lotus." Xin Yu shouted.

"Girl, you say." Xiaolian unconsciously had tears in her eyes, and her palms were full of sweat in panic.

At this moment, she was extremely aware that the girl had already become her backbone before she knew it, and it was her confidence in facing various situations.

"Xiaolian, get me some hot water, I'm a little cold, I want to take a dip."

"Okay, okay, you wait."

Xiaolian moved quickly to prepare the hot water, and Xin Yu immersed herself in a large wooden barrel, exposing only above her shoulders.

Xiaolian's gaze fell uncontrollably on her shoulder.

The skin on the shoulders is like snow, and the red birthmark in the shape of a drop is particularly distinct.

This is the basis for Xiaolian to be sure that the person in front of her is not her girl, but at this moment, looking at the girl huddled in the bathtub, she feels that she coincides with the figure of her girl.

It turned out that when the girl was sad and helpless, she was the same as an ordinary girl.

"Xiaolian, you go out, I want to stay by myself for a while."

Xiaolian wanted to speak and stopped, but finally only answered yes and retreated silently.

Only herself was left in the small room, and Xin Yu blinked softly, letting the tears fall and smashing into the hot water.

The limbs warmed, and the stiff mind began to turn slowly.

She knew since she was a child that she didn't have a father.

The mother said that her father was a poor boy, and they started from scratch and created a large family business. But after her father became the landlord, he changed his mind, and he said that he would have a couple for a lifetime, and he quietly raised several outer rooms, and even had children when his mother found out.

In disappointment, the mother took the personal maid away and gave birth to her.

When she was married, her mother asked her if she wanted to go to her father, and if she wanted to go, she would not stop her, but she refused.

She didn't want such a father.

Now she knows that the mother of her Jingchai cloth skirt is the queen's mother, and her father is the saint of today.

Her father lost his mother more than ten years ago, and killed his mother more than ten years later.

And Lord He, who has helped her many times, and Lord He, who likes to read quietly, is the knife that cuts at her mother.

What a ridiculous truth.

Xin Yu's whole body sank into the water and cried silently.

Look at the title of the book, Golden Branch, Golden Branch, Golden Branch! Are you just reacting now? In the past few days, the child has suddenly fallen ill and hospitalized, and I hope that the manuscript can be supported, and I will try to use the gap code words as much as possible, and strive to keep changing. A few days ago, the second child had a high fever, and he barely slept at night for two or three days, and his biological clock seemed to be affected, and he had insomnia until three or four o'clock every night, and now the eldest was hospitalized and began a new round of torment. There are old and young, and life is filled with fixed trivialities and various emergencies, and it seems that because of this, I have long loved the free and pure work of code words. Thank you for meeting you.
