The sky is gradually darkening, and the courtyard is first lit up, illuminating the bluestone road.

This time I also had dinner, the hookah rinsed her mouth, but a girl came in with a copper basin and a curtain, waiting for her to clean her hands, and when she wiped it clean, the hookah felt that her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier.

Thinking that it was a tiring carriage in the morning, I sat in front of the makeup and ordered the hosta to come in and wash with her.

When she was helped to sit down, Jade only turned her head to look at the delicate face floating on the bronze mirror, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.

I only felt that this face was getting more and more haggard, and I looked at the pair of almond eyes under the hookah willow eyebrows, and the thin lips were pale.

She was afraid that the Shen family would notice it in the morning, so she only carefully put on the lead, but now she wiped it off and it was as white as a piece of paper, which made people feel distressed.

Looking at it, Jade Yu only felt red-eyed.

Thinking that he heard the sigh, the hookah subconsciously glanced at the jade, as if he saw her thoughts, and only hooked the corners of his lips in a funny way: "I think today's makeup is excellent, but it makes you lose your mind." ”

Although she said this, there was still a bitterness in her heart that she couldn't explain, she had always been a steady one, and she only hid it with a smile.

Jade came back to her senses at this time, looking at the hookah like this, she barely pulled out a smile that was more ugly than crying, only turned around and secretly wiped her tears, and continued to help her unload her hair accessories.

Then he helped her sit on the kang, this time the hosta also came in with hot water, only to see the two silent, then stared at the hookah with round eyes, she was simple-minded, only felt that she had just returned home, I was afraid that I was not used to it, so I didn't think much about it.

The hosta soon showed a smile on her face, put the copper basin on the head of the kang, rolled up her sleeves and tested the temperature of the water, only felt that the temperature was right, so she took off her shoes and socks for the hookah and washed her feet.

The three people in this room were silent.

I don't know how long it took, the hookah took off his clothes and was about to go to the kang, only to hear the sound of knocking on the door outside.

When the hosta probe went to take a look, he couldn't figure out who would visit late at night, so he just opened the door and welcomed a mother-in-law in.

When the woman saw the hookah, she saluted respectfully for a while.

The hookah was also surprised, raised her eyes to look at her, and motioned her to get up, but she only looked the woman up and down with straight eyes.

Seeing that she was a little flustered on her face, as if she was in a hurry, she only accompanied her, and then said a long story short: "This will disturb the girl's leisure, and there is nothing to do, our girl only said that the third girl may be able to make up her mind, and the old slave came to call without authorization, and only took the girl to take a look." ”

Shisha was puzzled in her heart, thinking that this mother-in-law was a face-to-face, but she seemed to have seen it somewhere, and only after thinking about it carefully, she realized that this was her second sister Shen Shuixuan's nurse Mother Liu.

Seeing that she looked flustered, as if she had something important, she hurriedly asked the hosta to put on her clothes and follow her.

——

The road is not easy to walk at night, and the lights under the corridor are extremely dim, so I am in a hurry to walk at that time, and I forgot to hold the lamp.

This woman's steps are very fast, the hookah only follows quickly, and there are a few times when she almost trips, and the jade on her side is also distressed, and she just wanted to scold, but was stopped by the hookah first.

At night, the cold wind poured into the clothes, making the cloak on the hookah rustle.

When she finally arrived at the place, the hookah didn't care where it was, so she only raised her foot and stepped over the threshold to follow her in.

When I got to the courtyard, I saw that the lights were on in the main room, and when I stepped into the inner room with the curtains, I heard a burst of crying.

The hookah hurriedly raised his eyes to look, only to see a maid kneeling on the ground, her body trembling uncontrollably, her body faintly imprinted a little crimson, and she only begged for mercy on her mouth.

How could the hookah have seen such a scene, and he only felt uncomfortable for a while, dizzy, and only squeezed the handkerchief tightly, and turned his head away.

Before he could recover from it, he listened to a familiar female voice in the hall, swallowed his saliva, and subconsciously raised his eyes to look.

I only saw that it was Sun who was sitting in the hall, she changed her clothes, and wore a peony-colored long brocade dress on her upper body, turning thousands of green silk into a fallen horse bun, just a simple oblique hairpin carved jade white hosta, embellished with pearl hair, and Sui jade pendant hanging from her ears.

Holding a cloisonné enamel hand stove in her hand, she closed her eyes slightly, and there was a maid on the side who beat her shoulders for her, without powder, as if she was called up after sleeping.

Looking at the people outside, he only raised his hand to signal the girl on his side to step back, changed the gentleness of the morning, only raised his eyebrows in disgust, and glanced at Liu's mother next to the hookah.

Xu Bu hurriedly said: "It's not a shame to have a bad thing in your own house, you have to make it known to everyone?" ”

When Mother Liu heard the voice, she didn't dare to say much, so she just stood quietly aside.

Sun turned to the hookah banquet and smiled: "Sister Yan has returned to the house, so that you can see the joke." ”

The hookah's eyes swirled for a while, and she didn't dare to look at the blue and purple girl who was beaten on the ground, only showing a pale smile, trembling and blessed with Sun's blessing, and I didn't know what to do for a while.

Suddenly, I felt uneasy for a while, and I turned my head to sweep other corners of the house, only to see Shen Shuixuan standing far away in a corner, curled up, with a pale face.

I couldn't care so much for a while, the hookah glanced at Sun, and immediately walked with him, three steps and two steps towards Shen Shuixuan.

When I was about to hold her hand, I only felt cold to the touch, and even shivered unconsciously.

I think I was scared by the scene just now.

The hookah only held her in his arms, comforted her gently, and put his hand on her shoulder and half-stroked and half-patted.

waited for Shen Shuixuan to calm down, and then helped her slowly walk towards Sun's sitting.

After a pause, he calmed down, reluctantly pulled out a smile, and said: "Yan'er shouldn't care about so much, but even if you are here, you should ask more clearly, what happened in my second sister's house to make Ah Ji so angry?" ”

When Sun heard this, he only smacked lightly and put down the stove: "I wanted to close the courtyard and solve it by myself, but I didn't know that it alarmed my sister." ”

"And it's not a very important thing, it's just that the girl in Sister Xu's room has unclean hands and feet, and she stole the objects in the eldest lady's room, and she asked at night. Sun didn't speak, it was Mother Sun on one side who spoke.

The hookah's eyelashes trembled slightly, his brows were tightly locked, and then he glanced at Shen Shuixuan, and said softly: "Mom said that it is not a very important matter, and it is late at night now, such lynching and beating, if it alarms the people in the courtyard, it is not worth it, it is better to invite Grandma to see it." ”

There was a puzzling smile on Sun's face, and he carelessly helped his sideburns, and said, "Such a trivial matter can't alarm the ancestors, and if you want to come to the object and buy this thief who stole things." ”

Hearing this, the hookah's eyelids jumped slightly, he took a cool breath, and was about to continue to answer, but he was taken by Shen Shuixuan on one side: "Don't you slander people with empty mouths and white teeth, isn't it just that you are not happy to look at me in the morning, and you made up a nonsense story about stealing objects to blame the people in my courtyard, so as to understand the cruelty in your heart?" It's also a big lady, using such a subordinated method, I can't hold my breath more than me! ”

"Sister's words are wrong, how can I say that I am to blame, our eldest lady thinks that there are not enough things in the inner courtyard, in order to be angry with your little girl, and make trouble for yourself?" Without waiting for Sun to speak, Sun's mother sneered again, glanced at Shen Shuixuan, and said kindly.

Shen Shuixuan was a little angry, pushed Shen Shuisha's hand away, and scolded in a scolding tone: "Why is it that she is a second-class girl in my house?" Why isn't it in the third sister's house? Not from the little four rooms? Is the eldest lady dumb, barking at a livestock dog next to her? ”

This series of questions popped out of Shen Shuixuan's mouth, and every word was pierced into Sun's heart like a silver needle, and Sun only clutched the stove in his hand tightly, and his nails were so hard that he buckled off a piece of glaze.

"That's because the girls in your house are so well trained, they are all like you are so lawless! I also took good care of you because you were the daughter left by my sister, but what about you? Sun endured the anger in his heart, tears instantly appeared in the corners of his eyes, and he only pressed the handkerchief against his heart, and his chest rose and fell for a while.

This "sister" refers to the first lady Wang.

The hookah saw Sun's affectionate appearance, although he knew that he was deliberately pretending to be seen by others, but his heart still couldn't stop tightening, he only felt that his eyes were sore and swollen, he squeezed the handkerchief tightly, patted Shen Shuixuan on one side, and only told her to stop.

So he adjusted his breathing, pursed the corners of his lips, and still smiled faintly: "Ah Ji, don't be like the second sister, she is a straight intestine, and she doesn't like to speak." ”

After another pause, he only took a step forward, straightened his eyes and raised his finger to point at the girl on the ground, and whispered, "It's better to... It's better to solve the matter in front of you first, if it is in the middle of the night, and it is going to be left until tomorrow, then grandmother will definitely know. ”

These words seemed to remind Sun.

When she heard this, she only felt that this girl had always been sober-minded, so she carefully looked at the hookah's expression, and saw that her face was slightly red, as if she had exhausted all her courage and plucked up the courage to say it.

After looking at it, he sneered as if he didn't have it, thinking that this hookah was just a stupid wood that could not be done behind his back.

Sun's eyes gestured to Mother Sun on the side, and Mother Sun immediately understood, walked down quickly, and shouted fiercely to the mother-in-law who was around the maid to lift her up.

Seeing that half of the girl's face was blue, she was crying out of strength and fell down, but now she was dragged up by someone like this, she was a little stunned, and immediately cried and begged for mercy: "The eldest lady spares her life... Spare your life, big lady... The servant is wronged..."

only listened to the sound of crying, and the mother-in-law on one side slapped it again.

I only heard that the girl cried even more miserably, and called Shen Shuixuan again: "The second girl saved Yinchun, Yinchun was wronged!" ”

Shen Shuixuan was shocked and frightened at this time, and Fudong on the side couldn't stand it, and looked at her with a panicked face.

After a long while, Shui Xuan slowly swallowed a breath before he said in a trembling voice: "You... You're a trick! ”
