Weifu Zichen Pavilion

In the jade-colored fragrant cloud gauze tent, Yuan Xi tossed and turned and couldn't sleep steadily, closing his eyes and dreaming the same dream, and in the dilapidated house of the prince's mansion, a woman with blood-soaked eyes was suffering*, and the hem of her skirt was stained with blood. The woman was dragged to a mass grave, side by side with a blackened corpse, her own grandmother. Two black dogs with blood-red eyes ran up and fought for her body. She heard the woman's whisper, and there were only two words repeatedly: Revenge! Wonxi recognized this woman as herself!

Yuan Xi screamed, and the cold sweat had already wet his bedclothes. Ling'er held a lamp and put it on the table in front of her, and lifted the tent lightly: "Miss is not good, something has happened." ”

Yuan Xi came back to his senses and found that he was still lying in the bedroom of the Zichen Pavilion of the Wei Mansion. She rolled over and sat up, "What's the matter?"

"Lotus Pond! Someone drowned in the Lotus Pond!"

Yuan Xi was shocked, the lotus pond in the mansion was only six feet deep, how could it drown people?! Yuan Xi fixed his mind and asked, "Who is it?"

"It's Hua Sui, Aunt Yu took her to meet the old lady and passed by the lotus pond. Xu is dark road slippery, she suddenly fell in, two people to pull, but can't pull it. It was as if there was a water ghost below, and it sank to the bottom of the water with a whirl......"

"Quickly call someone to take the lamp, and I'll go and see. Regardless of the slippery road after dark, Won-hee was in a hurry to get dressed. Ling'er shook her head: "Miss doesn't have to go, Aunt You said that the dead girl is unlucky, hiding from the old lady and the old lady, and asking someone to drag her to the mass grave overnight to bury her." ”

"You ......" Yuan Xi shuddered.

In Xianghanxuan, Aunt Yu and Cheng Yong sat left and right, with sad faces. Seeing Yuan Xi come in, Cheng Yong hurriedly gave Yuan Xi a seat. Yuan Xi saw that everyone was depressed, so he smiled and said, "Why are my aunt and eldest brother so worried?"

Aunt Yu sighed: "I originally thought that although there is no physical evidence for what Hua Sui said, the old lady is wise, and maybe she can call the shots for us and secretly rectify the You family." I can't imagine that there is no more than a witness now. ”

Cheng Yong sneered: "I really know people and faces, but I don't know my heart, if it weren't for my own experience, who would have believed that our Wei family had such a heartbroken thing!

Ling'er turned his face away and didn't speak.

In the past, Cheng Yong was seriously ill, and his family was alienated from Yuan Xi, and even Ling'er suffered a lot of grievances. Cheng Yong took an orange and handed it to Ling'er, and said with a smile: "In the past, we were deceived by the You family, and you also suffered a lot, so please ask Ling'er girl to give me a chance to reform my ways?"

Although Ling'er is straightforward and fast-talking, she is also a child's heart, and she laughed when she was coaxed by Cheng Yong, and shrank behind Yuan Xi: "Miss, auntie, look at the eldest young master, is it a compensation to be a girl with us, where can I afford it." ”

Yuan Xi laughed for a while and asked, "I heard that Aunt You threw the flower spike out last night?"

Aunt Yu sneered: "No, at first she hid it from the old lady, but when she got up this morning, the old lady didn't know who to listen to, saying that the flower spike was strange and pitiful, and rewarded her with twenty taels of silver for the funeral." No, it's also called You Shi to deduct it. Our housekeeper grandmother, even the dead can be skinned again, what a good means!"

Ling'er listened to it for a long time, and sighed: "The old people say, how can you always stand by the river without getting your shoes wet, why does this Aunt You always do things like this?"

The three of them all fell into a deep thought, yes, why didn't there be a clue?

The autumn wind and autumn rain were dripping all night, a lone lamp was lit overnight, and when the candles burned out, the sky had just been brightened. Ling'er rubbed her sleepy eyes, put on a small coat and entered Yuanxi's room. Yuan Xi was still sitting at the table, and his eyes were slightly green.

Ling'er hurriedly took a jacket and put it on Yuanxi: "Third Miss, why did you sit here for a night?"

"How did you say that You Shi got rid of the flower spike without knowing it?" Won-hee rubbed his eyes.

Ling'er disagreed: "I don't think it matters how Hua Sui dies, in my opinion, Aunt You will never dare to despise you anymore." Let's knock on the mountain and shock the tiger this time, and see if she dares to stumble in the future!"

Yuan Xi is a person who has died once, so naturally he can't think so simple like Ling'er. Yuan Xi still doesn't give up, no matter how cautious You Shi is, doing so many bad things, is there really no trace of it? This is impossible!

Ling'er poured rose juice into hot water and soaked the handkerchief to let Yuan Xi wipe his face: "Third Miss, don't stay up so late." In two days, it will be a family banquet, and then the whole house will attend, and the shopkeepers in the house will also bring the young lady to the banquet. ”

Thinking of her previous life, every time she had a family banquet, Yuan Jia was dressed up brightly, as if she was the concubine in the house. And before every family banquet, the fourth lady in the house, Yuan Jie, has to send a girl to the door to borrow the east and the west.

There was jujube kernel porridge sent by Aunt Yu for breakfast, which was quite delicious. While eating, a little girl serving tea in Zichen Pavilion came in to reply, Ling'er had a cold face, and reprimanded: "Can't you see that the third lady is eating?

Yuan Xi gave Ling'er a look and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Back to the third lady, it was the fourth lady who sent Ju Xiang to borrow something. ”

Yuan Xi snorted faintly, as expected. Fourth Miss Yuan Jieping is the most greedy and cheeky, if she doesn't come to borrow something for ten days and half a month, it won't look like her. Ling'er became more and more unhappy: "In Chengri, I borrowed this and that, as if the house didn't give her monthly money." is still a young lady, and she loves to be greedy for such cheapness. borrowed so many things, and didn't see any favors, as if our third lady owed her. ”

The tea maid waved her hand again and again, signaling Ju Xiang to stand outside, and she could hear everything. Ling'er was afraid that Ju Xiang wouldn't be able to hear it, so she deliberately raised her voice: "Borrowing so many things, I don't necessarily have to say a good word about our third miss, who is caught talking bad about the third miss on weekdays, don't look at others and don't know!"

In the previous life, Yuan Xi did not eat less of Yuan Jie's cheeky losses, and the old lady kindly rewarded the exotic pearl powder, she had to go to half a box without face and skin. Her skin was dark, and she couldn't use it illegally, not only did it have no effect, but it gave birth to a lot of pimples. Therefore, Yuan Jie said that the third lady's things were all cheap and inferior goods, which made everyone in the house think that Yuan Xi was a shoddy master. After that, Yuan Xi was reluctant to borrow her things, so the reputation of the third lady for promoting narrowness gradually spread in the mansion.

The injustice of the previous life has not been avenged, will he come to tie the knot again in this life? Suddenly, a spiritual light flashed, and Yuan Xi made a calculation in his heart. Although the relationship between Yuan Jie's mother and Aunt You is very stiff, Yuan Jie is still very stubborn about You Shi, and she runs to You Shi's room twice in three days, which can be regarded as an excellent dog leg next to You Shi. You Shi's matter, Yuan Jie knows seven or eight out of ten. Why don't you make a fishhook with her and lure out the big fish of You's family?

Yuan Xi was overjoyed, and said with a smile on his face: "What is she going to borrow this time?"

"Back to Miss, they want to borrow satin to tailor clothes. ”

Ling'er was stunned for a moment, it is said that before every family banquet, the house gave each young lady five pieces of satin, which were all good materials for tailoring. In the past, it was just enough to borrow some gold hairpins and silver bracelets that she didn't have to make some decent, but this time she even borrowed satin. Ling Er sneered: "Where do we have any good things for the third young lady? Doesn't someone like to talk to the eldest lady on weekdays? Why don't you look for the eldest lady to go now?"

The tea girl was pestled like wood, and she didn't dare to come out.

Yuan Xi put down the spoon and ordered: "You tell Ju Xiang to wait, I'll choose a good horse for the fourth sister." ”

Ling'er was reluctant, thinking that the third lady was too good-tempered, and she didn't say much, so she only pouted. Yuan Xi smiled: "I didn't give her your things, why are you pouting?"

Ling Er was angry, and snatched the fabric from Yuan Xi's hand: "Miss, she took advantage of you and slandered you." If you don't care about it, you still have to give her such a good thing at this time, and pass it on, people still think that the third lady is the best to handle, and the begging person will not come to our Zichen Pavilion one by one?"

She actually compared Yuan Jie to a beggar for food. Yuan Xi pursed his lips and smiled, this metaphor is very vivid.

But Yuan Xi had another calculation in his heart: "Although Yuan Jie is black-hearted and thick-skinned, it is still a disease of fur after all." The top priority is to deal with You. Didn't you say that you don't leak? This loophole is so that I can find it. ”

Ling'er was puzzled and pointed out the door: "Miss is saying that Miss Fourth is the loophole?"

Yuan Xi smiled: "Yuan Jie soaks in You Clan's every day, and she knows You Clan's affairs best." Didn't You Hide the murderer tightly? Then I'll let Yuan Jie show me the murderer's finger. Yuan Xi took a tribute satin and handed it to Ling'er: "Give this to the fourth sister." ”

Ling'er was puzzled, opened the satin and took a look, and laughed: "Miss, although this satin is of the highest grade, it is not used to make ...... I see, you want to make Miss Four make a fool of herself in public. ”

Yuan Xi smiled: "It's just a small reason. When you say Yuan Jie is in a bad mood, where do you like to go the most?"

Ling Er pondered for a moment and exclaimed, "Of course it's the lotus pond, but miss, I still don't understand what you said." ”

Yuan Xi's fingertips stroked the smooth satin and said with a smile: "I just want her to go to the lotus pond, wait and see, soon, the murderer behind the killing of Hua Sui will surface." ”

Ling'er listened to Yuan Xi's words, but she didn't understand, and she turned over the satin and looked at it a few times, but she couldn't figure out any clues. Yuan Xi rolled up the satin and said: "You personally send it to the fourth sister, just say that this is the best, in our Great Chu Country, only those official wives above the second grade can use it." ”

Yuan Xi took out a phoenix inlaid with red jade from the box, sealed it in the box, and handed it to Ling'er: "Give the phoenix hairpin to the second sister, and say that she will wear it at the banquet." ”
