The three masters and servants returned to their original places, looked at the alley, and were silent for a while. Apparently, the three of them had been deceived by the old woman.

At this time, there was a passerby, Feng Zheng hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

The woman pointed to the alley, "You keep walking forward, and there is a big locust tree in front of the door that is the Li family." ”

Pointing the way, the woman looked at them curiously, "But who are you?" ”

Feng Zheng thought for a while and said, "We are distant relatives of the Li family. ”

"Does he have any relatives?" The woman sighed, "Look at what you are wearing, you must be a rich family, since you are relatives, then help their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, it's too pitiful." ”

With that, the woman turned and went home.

The three of them walked to the big locust tree according to the woman's instructions, but they saw that the door of the house was locked with an iron lock, and it was rusty, and it was evident that it had not been opened for a long time.

Feng Zheng said angrily: "That woman won't lie to us too, right?" ”

Zijin was speechless, "Probably." ”

The three of them stood in front of the door for a while, and when they were about to leave, they heard a movement inside.

"Brother Xiang, eat pancakes at noon, okay?"

"Your favorite thing to eat is that it costs oil and noodles."

"Yesterday I bought a few fat chickens, made some money, and bought rice, flour and oil. But I have to save it, Wenxiu's brush is bald, and I have to buy him a new one. ”

Hearing the voice inside, the three masters and servants looked at each other.

Feng Zheng said: "This door is rusted like this, how can there still be people living inside?" ”

"yes, and there are at least two of them." Zijin said.

Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "Listen carefully, the woman is actually talking to herself." ”

Feng Zheng and Zijin listened for a while, and sure enough, only one woman spoke.

"Wenxiu, come out and breathe, don't keep staring at that book, your eyes are going to be bad."

Zijin's eyes rolled, "So this is the woman in the tall man's mouth who went crazy because of the accident between her son and her husband?" ”

"It should be."

The three of them stepped back, thinking about how to get in, when smoke suddenly rose from the courtyard, and a woman's cry for help was heard.

"Brother Xiang, the fire is burning! Come and help me put it out! ”

The crazy woman really lit a fire to cook, and even burned the fire outside!

The flames could already be seen outside, and the madwoman's exclamation could be heard.

"You two go over the wall and save people!" Liu Yunxiang said busily.

Feng Zheng and Zijin hurriedly climbed over the wall, Liu Yunxiang was standing outside, and when he was worried, he saw the old woman selling braised chicken running over. When she came to the door and saw the smoke, she groaned.

"You madman, just burn my old bones!"

As she spoke, she threw her burden on the ground and went in a circle to the side of the east courtyard wall. Liu Yunxiang followed behind, only to find that the east courtyard wall of this house had collapsed, and there was no need to walk the door at all.

Zijin pulled the crazy woman, and Feng Zheng quickly extinguished the fire.

The old woman stepped forward, first looked at the madwoman and was not injured, and then beat her angrily, "How many times have I told you, don't go out, let alone light a fire to cook, why don't you listen!" ”

Looking at the burned kitchen, the old man was even more anxious, and beat the crazy woman.

"Mother, I was wrong, I want to make a flatbread for Brother Xiang. Brother Xiang likes to eat, and he can eat three at a time. ”

Hearing this, the old woman whimpered and pulled the madwoman aside, "You, you can't go on like this. ”

The madwoman's face was blackened, and the old woman wrung a veil to wipe her face.

"I'm old, what will you do when I leave?"

"Xiang'er is dead, Wenxiu is also dead, don't worry about them, let's live our lives."

No matter what the old woman said, the madwoman was still immersed in her own world, and kept muttering: "Brother Xiang is tired from work, he wants to eat baked bread." If Wenxiu reads well, he will definitely have a great future in the future. ”

Feng Zheng and Zijin retreated to Liu Yunxiang's side, and the three masters and servants were all embarrassed when they saw this.

The old woman coaxed the woman into the house, and then looked at Liu Yunxiang and them.

"Thank you just now." The old woman is humane.

Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "Actually, let's find the two of you who have something to think about......

"By the way, that chicken is salty, I'll return the money to you."

Saying that, the old woman took out the broken silver that Feng Zheng had given her earlier and wanted to return it to Liu Yunxiang.

Liu Yunxiang retreated, and the old woman deliberately interrupted her, probably guessing that they might have to ask about her son and grandson, but she didn't want to mention it again.

Liu Yunxiang followed this and asked, "You accidentally put too much salt, right?" ”

Speaking of this, the old woman was a little angry, "My daughter-in-law here, her brain is not very clear, when I braised chicken, she kindly went over to light a fire for me, and I guess she added a handful of salt while I was not paying attention." ”

"Didn't you buy much today, did you?"

"I sold you one, and a neighbor bought one, and when he turned around, he went to me on the street, saying that he couldn't eat it salty. I also barred people for two sentences, and the result was a taste, and it was really. Hey, there are five of them, but it's a big loss. The old man frowned deeply as he spoke.

Looking at the situation in this family, the life of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law should be very difficult.

"We bought all five braised chickens." Liu Yunxiang said.

"You can't eat it salty."

"There are wolf dogs in the house, and they share the food."

Liu Yunxiang asked Feng Zheng to take out the silver and give it to the old woman, although the old woman was a little embarrassed, she still caught it.

"Then thank you, lady."

"I know a little about your family's affairs, if you still want to avenge your family, I can make your decision." Liu Yunxiang said.

The old woman looked at Liu Yunxiang, and then shook her head, "We are not wronged, we will ...... I just want to live. ”

Liu Yunxiang didn't persuade her anymore, only said that if the old woman repented, she could go to the Lingyun Grain Shop, and the people over there would send her news.

When leaving, the old woman wrapped the braised chicken and gave it to Feng Zheng. Seeing that Liu Yunxiang had gone away, but looking at the back, he felt that this woman was not simple.

"Where is your wife?" The old woman asked.

Feng Zheng smiled, leaned closer, and whispered.

When the old woman heard this, her eyes widened with astonishment, and she was speechless for a while.

"So my wife said that she can avenge your family, but it's not a lie."

On the way back to the palace, Liu Yunxiang asked Feng Zhengke to show his identity to the old woman.

"Got it." Feng Zheng replied while driving the carriage, "It's just that I don't know if she will go to the Lingyun Grain Shop." ”

Liu Yunxiang rubbed his forehead, "The people all know that it is King Suping who is now presiding over the government, and the Yangguo Mansion is friendly with him, and the emperor and the queen mother are just decorations, but see if this old woman is willing to fight." ”

As soon as he returned to the palace, a guard came to report that the Duchess of Zhenguo and the second lady Xue had entered the palace to ask for a meeting.

"Why did the two of them come here all of a sudden?" Zijin frowned, "But they all know you, as long as they see you, they will definitely be able to recognize you, or don't see each other." ”

Liu Yunxiang also thinks so, especially that Second Mrs. Xue has no sense of proportion, once she knows about it, she will definitely publicize it. She was about to refuse, but another guard came to report that the two ladies had actually fought at the gate of the palace.
