"How?" Won-hee tied his cloak and followed Ju Xiang out of the courtyard.

Ju Xiang was sweating profusely, and her voice was crying: "Now the house is in chaos, the old man vomited blood, the eldest young master also fainted, Aunt Zheng burned herself, and the second lady cried hysterically." The old lady and Aunt Yu were scared to death. Third Miss, you said that this Aunt Zheng is too, she will die if she dies, and she will create so many sins at the end of her life. ”

Yuan Xi covered her mouth and coughed twice, and Ju Xiang hurriedly stepped forward to support her: "Third Miss, the Wei family can only rely on you at this time, don't fall down." ”

Yuan Xi waved his hand and called Zhong's mother: "You go to serve the prince, if the prince wakes up and asks me where I went, you will say that I will go back to Weifu." ”

Ling Er had already fallen asleep, and when she heard that Ju Xiang was coming, she hurriedly got up, her hair curled in a bun and followed: "Now I'm afraid that the eldest young master will wake up and blame Miss, Lan Yu's matter, Miss has done her best, if it weren't for Lan Chengjie's own sin, how could things have become like this?"

Ju Xiang sighed: "The problem is that Aunt Zheng put all the responsibility on the third lady, but the eldest young master believed it again, and Aunt Zheng is dead at this time, and there is no proof of death." Unless the living Lanyu is sent to the eldest young master, I really don't know how to solve this misunderstanding. ”

As soon as Ju Xiang was in a hurry, her mouth was like a cannon, and she kept asking: "Then again, Third Miss, where did you get Lan Yu? Is she dead or alive, can you come to see the eldest young master?"

Yuan Xi shook his head and stood in front of the carriage: "No matter whether Lan Yu lives or dies, she can't see her eldest brother." ”

Ling Er looked at Ju Xiang melancholy: "You don't know, the way Miss Lan is paralyzed on the bed, we all feel distressed when we meet in Pingshui, not to mention the eldest young master and her...... Alas, it would be bad if the eldest young master saw her appearance and had to keep her by his side. ”

Yuan Xi held Ju Xiang's hand and got into the carriage, the night breeze was blowing, and it was bitterly cold. Yuan Xi wrapped his cloak tightly and couldn't help sighing, this year is really bad.

Won-hee leaned against the wall of the car, closing his eyes and recuperating. In the past few days, in order to take care of Rong Zhan's injury, she has also been a lot haggard, and her body has been unable to withstand it for several days, and she always feels cold.

Ling'er leaned over to Yuanxi's side and held her hand, only to feel like she had touched a piece of ice. Ling'er hurriedly rubbed her hands for her: "Miss, are you cold?"

Yuan Xi shook his head: "Just help me boil some chai for a while." ”

Ju Xiang asked, "It's not good for the third young lady to come in?"

Ling'er nodded: "It's still not that Zhao Shangshu, who went around in such a big circle, just to frame the third miss." Not to mention his own life, he also injured the prince. The young lady is busy taking care of the prince these days, and she makes a mess of eating and sleeping, thinking that she has a cold. ”

Ju Xiang stuck out his tongue: "This Zhao Shangshu is also ruthless, and he is willing to give up his own life." Zhao Shangshu is dead, what should Concubine Zhao do? Her father tried to frame the crown princess, then she is the daughter of a criminal minister, and the prince did not divorce her?"

Ling'er flattened her mouth and looked at Yuan Xi, Ju Xiang understood, so she didn't ask anymore.

The fire in the firewood house has been extinguished, and the people are busy loading the charred bricks and tiles into the cart and pulling them out of the house. After half an hour the two servants cried out, and the crowd came around with lanterns, and in the pile of bricks there was a black round rumbling thing, which was soft when poked with a stick.

Dig up Aunt Zheng's charred corpse, everyone understands this. But who is going to carry this thing out is a problem. First of all, this Aunt Zheng is a wild man's *, no one wants to touch her, this kind of person feels cheaper when he touches it. Besides, people have been burned like this, and they will be sick to their stomachs when they look at it, let alone dig it out. The soft cooked meat rubbed a hand of minced meat, and just thinking about it can disgust people to death.

It was like this for half an hour.

According to Wei Dongshu's instructions, Yuan Yue shouldn't have come to see it, but the person who died was her own mother, flesh and blood. Xiang'er couldn't resist her, so she could only help her to walk to the firewood room, and heard from a distance that the people said that the body had been dug up, so Yuan Yue quickened her pace.

Xiang'er stepped forward and stopped: "Second Miss, don't look at it, what if you are scared?" ”

Xiang'er thought that when these subordinates found Aunt Zheng, they would quickly wrap them up with something and carry them aside, but who would have thought that they wouldn't even move. Yuan Yue stood aside and watched for a long time, only to feel the pain of a pinprick in her heart. The mother was not favored when she was alive, and she ended up like this after her death, so can you not sigh and cry as a child?

Xiang'er looked at Yuan Yue cautiously, and when she saw the red bloodshot in her eyes, she knew how much she hated.

"Get out of the way, I'll dig!" said Yuan Yue suddenly.

When everyone heard Yuan Yue's voice, Hula lala knelt down: "Second Miss, this thing is very dirty, you must not touch it!"

This thing is still very dirty? Yuan Yue only felt that a burst of anger sprayed from her abdomen to the top of her head, and she gritted her teeth: "Xiang'er, this person can't speak, give me a slap on his mouth!"

The speaker knew that he was speechless, and without waiting for Xiang'er to make a move, he opened his bow left and right and slapped more than thirty times. Yuan Yue looked coldly at the kneeling subordinates on the ground: "What are you still kneeling for, why don't you bury Aunt Zheng's body quickly?"

Who dares not to listen to the words of the second lady, with this sentence, the subordinates no longer dare to prevaricate, they don't care about being disgusted and afraid, so they found an oilcloth or something to wrap Aunt Zheng's body and put it in the car.

Xiang'er tugged at Yuanyue's sleeve: "Second Miss, do you want to take another look?"

Yuan Yue shook her head: "She is ruthless to me and my father, and she won't care about this look." ”

Xiang'er has been with Yuanyue for a long time, and she knows these sorrows between Yuanyue and her mother, and she knows that she can't solve them. tightened the placket of Yuanyue's clothes: "The third lady is coming back soon, do you want to see it?"

Xiang'er knew that she would definitely agree, because over the years, Yuanyue's pain only dared to be revealed in front of the third lady alone. Xiang'er didn't turn her head, wiped away her tears, and said gently: "Miss, let's go to the front yard." ”

In Xiang Hanxuan, Aunt Yu quietly wiped her tears from a red candle. Cheng Yong was still lying unconscious on the couch. The doctor concocted the medicine, but he couldn't pour it in a mouthful, and he couldn't pry it open.

Ju Xiang led Yuan Xi to Xiang Hanxuan in a hurry, and when Aunt Yu saw Yuan Xi, she jumped up and hugged her: "Yuan Xi, what do you say this can do? That Lan Yu is almost going to torture my Cheng Yong to death." ”

Aunt Yu's tears wet Yuan Xi's shoulders, and Yuan Xi hurriedly helped her to sit down and said, "Auntie, you can't rely on others to solve this matter, you can only rely on the eldest brother to solve it himself." ”

Aunt Yu grabbed Yuan Xi's hand: "That Lanyu?"

"She's not dead yet, but she can't be allowed to see her eldest brother. She is now in Guiyunzhou, she is very safe, she can't just take her back just to see her eldest brother, right? She is a fugitive, if someone finds out, there is really only a dead end. ”

Aunt Yu sighed: "I understand this truth, but Cheng Yong can't even pour oral medicine now, and I'm afraid that half of him is dead." I think that even if we tell him about Lanyu, he may not believe us at this time. Didn't you see it, the way he was angry with your father just now, it's terrible, I've never seen Yong'er's look. ”

Yuan Xi hugged Aunt Yu: "Don't worry, it'll be fine." By the way, how is Daddy?"

Aunt Yu shook her head: "It's not good." The root of your father's illness lies in Cheng Yong, and if Cheng Yong is not good, how can your father be well? Now that he has an old lady with him, he can finally relieve his heart. ”

Ju Xiang brought a bowl of chaihu to Aunt Yu's room: "Third Miss, it's just boiled, can you drink it while it's hot?"

The medicine tasted very bitter, and Yuan Xi still drank it in one go.

Feeling warmer, Yuan Xi put down the bowl: "I heard that my father drove Yuan Jie away, so I must know Yuan Jie's life experience." Aunt Zheng's affairs can't be spread outside, and those servants and maids who do things have to keep their mouths shut, and it's still the same rule in the past, each person will be rewarded with two taels of silver. But if anyone leaks the news, they will be dragged out and killed. ”

Aunt Yu nodded: "I'm afraid that Yuan Jie won't be able to keep it by herself." ”

Yuan Xi lowered his eyelids: "Do you know where Yuan Jie went?"

Aunt Yu sighed, she just didn't know. I don't know what happened to the master, so he drove Yuan Jie away in a moment of anger, why didn't he think about it at that time, if Yuan Jie's life experience leaked out, where would the Wei family's face go?

Seeing that Aunt Yu didn't speak, Yuan Xi suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart, and called Ju Xiang and said: "You quickly ask someone to look for it on the street, whether it is a teahouse, a tavern or a theater, as long as it is a place where people can live, go and find it, and you must find Yuan Jie before dawn." ”

"Wait," Aunt Yu thought for a moment and said, "It may not be in the teahouse theater, Yuan Jie doesn't have any silver on him, I'm afraid he can't go to these places." ”

"Then go to some land City God Temple, Hualiu Lane or something like that, let's go. ”

Ju Xiang responded: "I'll go tell Shopkeeper Lin." ”

Speaking of which, Yuan Xi hasn't seen this Uncle Lin for many years, and when he got married, he also specially asked someone to give him a red gold carved statue of the two immortals. Fortunately, Shopkeeper Lin has been in the same state, and he is a human face in the capital, so it is most suitable for him to do this.

When Yuan Xi stood up, he felt a little dizzy, and stood on the table for a while before he recovered. Aunt Yu stroked her shoulder: "You kid, although you are young, you can't spoil your body like this? If you are sick, you have to be healed, and you will be fooled after drinking chaihu? If the prince knows, he may not be in a hurry to get angry." ”

Yuan Xi hurriedly covered her mouth: "Auntie, don't tell him." His wound was just right to protect me, but don't talk about these things, if he was in a hurry, it would be terrible if he collapsed the wound. Besides, I don't have anything to do, I just feel a little cold, and it's just right to drink chaihu. ”

Aunt Yu touched her cloak, and she didn't feel that it was too thin, so she said: "I remember that the old lady rewarded your second sister with a fox fur cloak, which is the most cold-resistant, but your second sister's one is old." Ming'er, I'll ask them to collect a few more pieces and give you the winter. ”
