Xia Mansion, in the Yunquan Courtyard.

In the clean and tidy study, the man at the table sat quietly in front of the window, the book in his hand was not spread out a page, just quietly looking at the sunset that was gradually sinking outside, the golden afterglow was sprinkled in the bamboo forest, and a shy voice seemed to come from the rustling wind.

"Young Master Xia. ”

Xia Guxin suddenly came back to his senses, stood up nervously and turned his head, but he didn't want to stand in front of him but it was Xia Qianwei who looked surprised.

His throat couldn't help but feel astringent, and then he hid that wry smile, "The third sister just called me?"

Xia Qianwei looked at his appearance of suffering from gains and losses, and there was a sense of melancholy in her heart, "Big brother, do you think of Qin'er?"

At the mention of the poor woman, there was a moment of silence between them.

Xia Guxin's heart ached faintly again, his tired eyes seemed to be mixed with a touch of sad red, these days and nights, he always seemed to hear Liu Qin'er's voice in his ears, just like Fang Cai, thinking that the woman was back again.

Everyone thought that Xia Qianwei was cold and ruthless, but in fact, she and Xia Guxin both went to see Liu Qin'er on their last journey, but they were standing on the teahouse next to the funeral procession, watching from a distance.

“...... I hurt her. Xia Guxin's voice was a little dumb, Xia Qianwei didn't tell him the truth, so he thought that it was because he rejected Liu Qin'er that she accidentally fell into the lake in a trance.

Xia Qianwei's eyes flashed, and the hand in her sleeve seemed to tremble slightly, the person who really killed Liu Qin'er was actually her, so she had to endure this breath and send the people behind the scenes one by one to sacrifice Qin'er's spirit in the sky.

It is said to be atonement, but the sins of his own body can never be washed away.

"The eldest brother will leave the day after tomorrow, the dead are gone, and the living are like this. When Xia Qianwei said this, there was an inexplicable determination and coldness in her tone.

However, such comforting words sounded in Xia Guxin's ears, but they were like knives inserted into his chest.

He felt his heart still beating, looked at these empty hands, once wanted to regain his dream and chase hope, he once thought that he was the most pitiful person in the world, so he didn't dare to face Liu Qin'er's overtures.

said that there was a disparity in status, but in fact, he just didn't want to miss the opportunity again, and the word selfishness was nothing more than that.

The living are like this, but how unfair is this to the deceased?

Xia Guxin had a bleak smile on his face, and he seemed to have an uncontrollable feeling in his heart that was about to break the ground, but he didn't have the courage to think about it.

"County Lord!"

At this time, Aunt Su's worried voice came from behind her, and Xia Guxin immediately avoided his head, not wanting his aunt to find out about his strangeness.

Xia Qianwei quickly put away her thoughts and silently exited the study.

"Look at Aunt Su's expression, but what happened?"

At this time, where could Aunt Su still care about worrying about her son, she looked around for a moment before lowering her voice and asking, "I don't know if the county lord has heard about it......?"

Looking at Xia Qianwei's puzzled expression, Aunt Su became serious and continued in a deep voice, "The young lady of the Jiang family died violently in the mansion today, and I heard that it fell into the lake. ”

Hearing this, Xia Qianwei had a strange feeling in her heart.

She knew that the young lady of the Jiang family had only recently been married, and now that such a thing has happened, how can she not make people sigh?

Aunt Su's appearance was indescribably dignified, "Not only that, but the young lady of the Yun family is inexplicably crazy, and the young lady of the Qi family accidentally disfigured ......"

These familiar names made Xia Qianwei gradually realize the meaning of Aunt Su's words, weren't they the daughters of several military generals who had clashed with those civil servants and nobles for her in their own courtesies?

A gust of cold wind blew, and Aunt Su couldn't help but hug her arms, looking like she was palpitating.

Coupled with Liu Qin'er, who is good friends with Xia Qianwei, these noble girls who have a relationship with the county lord of Yongle have encountered disasters one after another, and now some terrifying rumors have spread in Beijing again, saying that it is because of ignoring the warning of the unjust soul, so the seventh lady of the Xia Mansion is here!

Even those who are related to the murderer will be affected!

The target of all the rumors is one person......

The ladies who came to participate in Xia Qianwei and the ceremony of Xia Qianwei began to panic, and they had already invited masters to exorcise evil spirits for themselves, for fear that they would also be contaminated with unclean things and be unlucky!

"The concubine knows this, the county lord is afraid that he will be unhappy, why don't we also invite a master to do a ritual service......?"

If once is an accident, what about two or three times?

Aunt Su is not afraid of death, she is worried that Xia Qianwei will be hurt.

However, the expression of the girl in front of her was unprecedentedly murderous, and this terrifying oppressive force actually shocked Aunt Su's heart, as if a pair of invisible hands were strangling her neck, so that she couldn't say a word.

"It's finally here......"

After a long time, Xia Qianwei opened her mouth with deep meaning, she looked at the green bamboo swaying in the wind, and a ghostly light fell on her cold little face, with an awe-inspiring coldness.

Liu Qin'er's death seemed to have touched some vicious curse, and such appalling tricks happened in Beijing one after another, it seemed that the other party's patience had finally run out, and he couldn't wait to declare war on her, but he didn't expect the people behind the scenes to be so ruthless.

This feeling is like stabbing a hornet's nest, Xia Qianwei clearly felt that the person wanted to kill her by surprise, but she also sensed the restlessness and anger in the other party's heart, and endured it for so long, as if she wanted to vent on those innocent people.

"The county lord means that these things are ...... by someone"

Aunt Su was so keen this time, Xia Qianwei quickly restrained her expression, and solemnly ordered, "Auntie, don't worry, you have to pay more attention to food and clothing these days, and the ghosts in our general's mansion will soon appear." ”

......

At this time, the news also reached the ears of the old lady.

"Bastard, I'm afraid that someone can't see Qianwei's goodness, so they make up such ridiculous rumors to ruin her reputation!"

How could it be so coincidental that the people who had the accident were all the guests of the day, and they were also the noblewomen who intended to show favor to Xia Qianwei.

In this way, who else will dare to get close to their granddaughter in the future?

was originally named the county lord, and there were already many people who were red-eyed, but I am afraid that there will be jealous people who will fall into the well next!

"Grandmother. A well-behaved voice came from outside the house, and the old lady frowned, and her expression softened a little when she saw the simple and soft girl stepping in.

"Xiang'er, you're not in good health, why don't you rest much?"

The old lady looked uneasy, Xia Xiang slowly stepped forward and poured a cup of tea for her intimately, "Xiang'er is here to discuss with grandmother and practice for the eldest brother......

However, the old lady looked like she had a headache, and Mama Lei on the side saw it and hurriedly beat her shoulders and pinched her back.

"The old lady is afraid that she has been tired lately, and she has no energy. The old slave thought that he might as well hand over this matter to Miss Nine to handle, after all, the eldest young master set off to Yingtian Academy, which was also a happy event. ”

"Well, it's rare that Xiang'er has this heart, so I'll leave this matter to you. ”

With the consent of her grandmother, Xia Xiang smiled quietly, and then glanced at Mama Lei meaningfully......
