Ah Hai walked over, squatted next to Yu'er's stone head, lifted the collar, saw the strangulation marks on her neck, and said to the grandmother next to the voice: "She has a fresh strangulation mark on her neck, and it looks like she was strangled to death!"

After hearing this, everyone rushed to the difference, and the grandmother said, "Carry the corpse to the side and cover it, and report it to the master!"

As soon as the words fell, Ah Hai frowned and got up and said, "Didn't they already know?"

As soon as Ah Hai's words came out, Su Muning knew what to stare at him.

"Don't disobey orders!"

Ah Hai could only turn around, but while turning around, he glanced at Su Muning and walked out, "Yu'er, if you die like this, what are you doing when you come back!"

Su Muning listened to the crying voices of the slaves and maids and followed, grabbed Ah Hai's wrist and said, "Sister Yu'er can't just die, there are traces of being strangled, that is, someone strangled her, shouldn't we find out?"

Ah Hai said coldly: "Shangfang has already ordered to kill her, and the master will definitely bury her, don't do useless work!"

"He still has a child in his belly, we must find out the truth, we have to avenge her unjustly killed!" Su Mu Ning said anxiously.

Ah Hai looked at Su Muning slowly and said, "We can't tell the master!"

"What?"

"If it's not for the crime of rebellion, you can't report your master if you are a slave, don't you even know this? This is the law of the land. ”

"What is the reason, then who will protect us!"

Ah Hai gritted his teeth and said, "Without anyone, no one will protect us!"

After hearing this, Su Muning was not only angry, but also felt incredible, and her face trembled slightly: "But, we can protect each other, even if the country abandons us, the master can whip us at will, we ...... We can protect each other, too!"

Ah Hai's eyes moistened again when he heard what she said, but said, "She's dead."

In this way, Ah Hai notified Ding Lan, and simply put Yu'er's body on a straw mat and covered it with a white cloth, she stood next to Yu'er's voice and said to many slaves: "Su Muning, Ah Xu come here!"

The two looked at each other and walked over, and Ding Lan ordered again: "Kneel!" The two of them obediently knelt beside Yu'er, signaled Ah Hai's eyes with their eyes and looked at Yu'er, Ah Hai understood the meaning and squatted down to lift the white cloth, and those slaves and maids turned their heads and didn't dare to look.

Ding Lan grabbed Su Muning's hair and approached Yu'er's already gray face, and said viciously: "Take a good look, this is the end of robbing other people's men" As she spoke, she let go of her hand and continued: "If you don't want to be like this in the future, it's best to behave in a proper manner."

Su Mu looked at this jade, and his heart was indignant, and it was the country's management of favoritism.

On the other side, Pu Hanmo put Hou Xiaru on the bed and covered it with a quilt, and sat at the dining table thinking about Su Muning and his father crying bitterly.

Ding Lan also reprimanded them in the cellar: "What strange things happen in the lower room every day, you have to be responsible for all this that happens, and step down from the position of the first maidservant!"

Mama was surprised when she heard this: "Madam!"

Ding Lan ignored her and continued: "Even if the first maid is dismissed, of course the first slave will be removed from the post together, so Hai Xun and Ah Hai will step down from their positions from today!"

She said this, and Ah Fei, who was standing on the side, secretly rejoiced.

"So, from today onwards, Mother Shan is Ah Xu's mother will accept to be in charge of the inner house, and Ah Fei will be in charge of the outer house!" Ah Chun: They rolled their eyes when they heard it.

Ah Hai said: "Madam, let me be responsible for everything alone, Mama didn't do anything wrong!"

Ding Lan scolded angrily: "Think about what you have done recently, you didn't kick you out of the house, you two should be thankful!"

On the side, the mother said timidly: "I'm sorry madam, the villain is not ready to be the first maidservant, I still have a lot of shortcomings"

Ding Lan smiled and said: "Who is born to be the leader, you will grow up in this position and adapt quickly!"

Mother Shan listened flustered, Ding Lan continued: "Remember to buy the corpse!"

Ah Fei on the side said obediently: "Yes, madam, don't worry, I will definitely pay attention to the discipline of the next room after I take office!"

Ding Lan breathed a sigh of relief and left.

Ah Fei stood in the middle with his head held high, touched his beard, and said to the people in the lower room: "The men come and carry the corpse together!"

Seeing that everyone was not moving, Ah Fei stomped his feet and threatened: "What are you doing, didn't you hear Mrs. say that I am now the first slave?"

What he said, Mama walked between them, and the mother said to Mama, "Mama, don't worry that I'm not qualified now......"

"Do as Madame says," he said, and walked away.

"Mama...... Axu's mother could only shout helplessly at her departing back.

After Ah Hai saw that Mama was gone, he squatted down and covered Yu'er's face with a white cloth, and this is how they buried Yu'er in the mass grave on the hill.

Yu'er was wrapped in a straw mat like a green onion roll, and Ah Hai and a manservant lifted the corpse and gently placed it in the digging pit, and Ah Hai put the straw sandals she wore in front of her beside the corpse, and the slaves shoveled up the dirt, following the cry of the maidservants.

Su Mu on the side said with tears in her eyes: "We, don't we even have a coffin when we are buried?"

Ah Xu on the side said: "That costs money, which master in the world would consider these for slaves!"

"Even so, can't we inform the adults of this?"

Ah Xu sneered and said, "Do you really think that adults will adjust this matter?" Sister Yu'er is all harmed by him today, what is really wronged, what did Sister Yu'er do wrong!"

"No matter how we are wronged, the national law scripture also stipulates that people like us cannot say any complaints!" Qing'er said.

"They say that the master is like our parents, that it is immoral to be a parent with a high incidence of children, and that they treat us like objects and want us to treat them like parents!"

Everyone bought Yu'er little by little, and Su Muning also raised her head to look at Ah Hai.

Ah Hai reported before returning to Mama's room; "We buried Yu'er in the mountains!"

Mama nodded and said, "You must be sad, forget the past!"

"I shouldn't have brought her, but I brought it, and now it's like this, and I'm sad!"

"This is life, it doesn't have to go the way we envisioned", turning his head and continuing: "Is the bait ready?"

"It has to be someone who won't harm our party and Su Muning trusts!"

Mama nodded in agreement and said, "That's it!"

"I'm thinking I'll do this bait myself"

Ah Hai said something, and Mama looked up at him.

In the early morning of the next day, in the Hou Mansion, the people opened the gate and swept the stairs of the gate.

And the maidservants got up and tidied up their clothes, "Prepare breakfast, hurry," the fat maid instructed, and two of the maidservants wiped the ground with rags, and the slaves of the subordinate house began to work again, but none of them spoke, and there was a dead silence in the subordinate mansion.

In the upper room, in Hou Yuanming's room, Hou Yuanming and Ding Lan sat side by side at the dining table, Hou Yuanming took a bite of the dish and took a bite, Ding Lan said; "Yu'er, she died last night, it seems that she was destined to be pregnant, but she was not born alive, when she gave birth, the mother and the child died!"

Hou Yuanming angrily slammed the spoon on the table and said, "In the end, madam, did you still do this?"

Ding Lan smiled and said: "What are you talking about, I even prepared red dates and brown sugar and the like, so that he can eat them after giving birth, and now these sugars have to be drunk by adults, what's wrong?" Not to your liking?"

Saying that, he smashed his mouth and continued: "It's a pity, I'm afraid you're going to have to drink kelp soup for a while!"

"I clearly warned you that if Madame moves Yu'er, I won't just forget it!"

"It's not me, it's God's will, is it my fault that the girl died when she had another child?"

Hou Yuanming trembled angrily, and the mother who was still helping to serve them on the side also clenched her fists.

Ding Lan said how to leave, came to the subordinate mansion, and said to the busy maidservants, "Have you taken all the tableware in the room?"

Ah Jin said: "The county lord has not woken up yet!"

"She'll have to freshen up before she wakes up, and get her some freshening water!"

Ah Jin bent down and said, "Yes!"

At this time, Su Muching was boiling water on the side and saw Ding Lan hurriedly turn around, bowed slightly, and turned around when he saw that Ding Lan didn't call himself, but Ding Lan looked at him: "Oh, Su Muching, you go and serve them in Hanmo's room!"

Everyone looked at her.

Su Muning bent down slightly and said, "Got it, madam!"

Ding Lan sneered and left.

Qing'er, who was doing other work, walked up to Su Muning after seeing Ding Lan leave, smiling in front of her, as if she was comforting her.

Su Muning scooped up the soup with a spoon, and Qing'er on the side hurriedly took the basin and said; "Miss, let me come, I'll bring it over!"

Su Muning snatched it and said, "You just had a conflict with the county lord yesterday, and now it's not good for you to go!"

Qing'er shook her head and said, "It's okay!"

Su Muning smiled reluctantly and said, "I'll go back when I go!" As he spoke, he turned around and took a breath, his tone stabilized, and he walked towards Hou Xiaru's room.

Qing'er could only look at Su Muning's departing back at a loss.

At this time, in the west wing, the sun shone obliquely on the tail of the roof ridge and also on the maple leaves in front of the courtyard of the wing. Hou Xiaru was lying on the bed sideways, the quilt was neatly covered on her back, and as soon as she turned around, her eyes opened suddenly, and she saw Pu Hanmo not far from herself, tidying up her clothes.

She raised her head slightly and peeked at Pu Hanmo, as a lady, she was even more ashamed when she remembered the drunken scene, lowered her head and muttered, "It's really true!"

She sat up and said shyly, "Husband!"

Pu Hanmo saw her wake up and said respectfully, "Oh, you're already awake."
