Sang Xuanyue returned to the Rose Garden, almost collapsed.

Su Xin and Dong Xue saw that their master and servant all looked like they were in a state of despair, so they curiously gathered around and asked questions. Even Qing'er, who had been concentrating on reading in the yard, couldn't help but open her curious eyes and listen to her sister with her ears open.

Sang Xuanyue just smiled and waved his hand, "Walking this way, I'm too thirsty, let me drink some water to moisten my throat first." By the way, I forgot to drink the medicine after breakfast, is the medicine still warm on the stove? ”

As soon as she said this, she immediately attracted everyone's attention. Whether it is Su Xin or winter snow and spring rain, they don't care about asking their masters and servants about their experiences. They were busy preparing warm water for Sang Zhuyue, and brought the medicine that had been warm on the stove, and Su Xin still muttered, "I haven't forgotten it before, but I don't know what's wrong today, so I forgot it all to the back of my mind." I only remembered when the girl went out, and I was originally going to chase the girl back and let you drink the medicine before leaving. But I thought about it, it was too late to ask the old lady to say goodbye, so we didn't chase you. ”

Sang twisted the moon lightly and drank all the black decoction in one go. The medicine looks very bitter, if Qing'er drinks the medicine, he will make a fuss when he takes a sip. On the other hand, Sang Twisting the Moon was as if he couldn't feel the bitter taste, and drank it all in one go.

She didn't feel bitter, the maids were different, Su Xin hurriedly stuffed a candied fruit into her mouth, and joked, "Give the girl a sweet mouth too." ”

Sang Xuanyue smiled and ate the candied fruit, checked his younger brother's study this morning, and answered his brother's questions by the way.

Her level is indeed not high, but in this situation, she is not at ease to send her younger brother to study in a private school. Wang Xu will not let go of the slightest chance to catch her, that woman is completely crazy.

Now she only hopes that Lord Wang can notice this earlier, because she is afraid of the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion and restrains the Wang Xu clan; Or maybe Uncle Wang found his eldest brother, and they had a backer again......

Otherwise, she would never let her brother out.

Sang Xuanyue went back to the house to study, and Qing'er was also asked by her sister to go outside for a walk and rest.

A few maids got together and talked privately about going to Heyan Hall.

Su Jin directly threw out a bomb, "We saw Mrs. Gu." "I didn't say anything about Hou Ye when I saw him, just in case there would be more right and wrong.

Chunyu heard the words "ah", and immediately understood why Su Jin and the girl looked like they were about to collapse. She had palpitations in her heart, "Mrs. Gu is a little ......" in her eyes is uninhabited, difficult, mean and bitter, in short, all derogatory terms are used on Mrs. Gu, it seems to be very appropriate.

But Chunyu naturally didn't dare to say these words, but the expression on her face was really indescribable. Even Dongxue had a look of "Why did you meet Mrs. Gu?" It's too unlucky."

It's no wonder that Chunyu and Dongxue are changing colors for Mrs. Gu, but Mrs. Gu is too irritable and harsh. The maids walked loudly, spoke loudly, made the tea hot and cold, and kneaded the strength lightly, anyway, as long as one did not agree with her, Mrs. Gu beat and punished and knelt, and deducted people's monthly money, these operations are simply commonplace.

Su Xin was taken aback by the hints of spring rain and winter snow, but Su Jin said, "It's been almost a month since we came to the house, but I've never heard of Mrs. Gu being so ......."

arrogant, stingy, moody, unclear rewards and punishments...... The character of the master that people don't like the most, Mrs. Gu has all of them.

Chunyu explained in a low voice, "This is not it, last time I was embarrassed by Master Hou, Mrs. Gu was 'seriously ill'." I heard that Mrs. Gu was quiet during this time, and she had been staying in the house, so she was afraid that the Hou Ye would show her stuff when she came to visit. "The result is good, Hou Ye didn't go at all.

Then, Chunyu mentioned why Mrs. Gu, a married girl, had been staying at Hou's mother's house and not leaving.

- Has her husband's house been raided?

Su Jin interjected at this time, "What crime did the adults of Mrs. Gu's family commit?" ”

Chunyu said, "You should have heard of that. The girl is from Huizhou, right? "The girl Sang she is serving now is a cousin with the third lady. I heard that Miss Sang grew up in her uncle's house since she was a child, that is to say. Miss Sang is also from Huizhou. And Mrs. Gu married to Lingzhou before.

Lingzhou and Huizhou are two state capitals in close proximity, and the same Linghui River passes through the two state capitals.

Chunyu continued, "Mrs. Gu's father-in-law was the governor of Jiangnan earlier. ”

The Governor of Rivers is responsible for the dredging, repair, grain collection, river management, and public security patrols of all rivers in his jurisdiction.

As a result, Mrs. Gu's father-in-law was a corrupt official, and he swallowed more than half of the money allocated by the court for water conservancy. The rest of the remaining silver, after passing through the layers of hands, was finally used in the river, less than one-tenth of the original. I heard that many rivers are built with rice bran, and there is no clay or cement, so how can the rivers be flooded? As a result, a torrential rain directly broke the embankment, flooding 10,000 acres of land on both sides of the river, not to mention causing hundreds of thousands of deaths and injuries to the people.

In such a large casualty incident, according to the laws of the imperial court, it is not too much to marry and behead the entire aunt's mother-in-law's family. However, because the Wang family fought the world with Taizu in the early years, the children and grandchildren of the family were almost dead, and now they can't bear to let the Wang family die, so they confiscated all the illegal gains of the Wang family, and strictly ordered the children and grandchildren of the Wang family within three generations to go out of office, so the matter was gently exposed.

Chunyu sighed in a whisper about this matter, Dongxue and Su Xin were both indignant, only Su Jin was stunned in his heart......

At this moment, the closed door of the west wing was suddenly pushed open from the inside.

Su Jin hurriedly got up and ran over, "Girl." ”

Sang Xuanyue pushed her away and walked quickly in front of Chunyu, her face was pale, her whole body trembled, and her body was shaky. Almost holding on, he gritted his teeth and asked Chunyu, "What happened to you in that year?" ”

Chunyu and several people were frightened by Sang Twisting Yue's appearance, Su Xin had followed Sang Twisting Moon since she was a child, and almost after the girl asked this question, the familiarity she had just heard about it came out of her mind again.

Su Xindeng also looked at Chunyu, grabbed her arm and asked, "Chunyu, think about it, when did this incident you said happen?" ”

Chunyu was really frightened, and these two were all stunned.

She instinctively felt that she had said the wrong thing, so she hesitated and didn't want to speak again. In the end, Dong Xue thought for a moment and said, "Mrs. Gu brought Miss Wang to the house five years ago, at that time I remember that some mothers-in-law said that they thought that Mrs. Gu would return to her parents' house as soon as the Wang family fell into trouble, but who knew that Mrs. Gu would last for almost ten years before coming back." If you do this in this way, the incident of the levee burst happened about 14 or 5 years ago. ”

Fourteen, five years ago.

Fourteen years ago, to be more precise.

In that sudden rainstorm, the water level of the Linghui River soared, and the embankment burst in an instant. A monstrous flood swarmed out, flooding all the fertile land and people around it, and the corpses were strewn all over the field.

Sang twisted the moon's body heavily, and the whole person fell straight down.

She was covered in sweat, and her face was not much different from that of a dead person. She breathed weakly, and her whole body fell straight back.

"Girl!"

Su Xin and Su Jin rushed over to catch her, but her chest was filled with a thick dead air at this moment, which made her heavy, and Su Xin and Su Jin didn't support her, she fell straight to the ground.
