The three of them took their children into Chuzhou City and found a clean inn to live in. Seeing that the child was so hungry that he cried, Tang Qiqi went out to buy food for him, but he didn't come back after dinner.

Wen Ember went to the broken temple alone to deal with the woman's funeral, and only Liu Xunyin and the child were left in the inn. She asked the shopkeeper for a bowl of goat's milk, fed the child, and carefully scrubbed his wounds. After confirming that there was no serious problem, she patiently coaxed the child to sleep.

There was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door, Liu Xunyin opened the door curtain, and saw Wen Ember standing outside the door blowing the river breeze, and his back looked very lonely.

"Young Master Wen, you're back. ”

"Girl looking for sound. Wen Ember turned around, his eyes full of sadness.

"Is it dealt with?"

"Hmm. Ember nodded slightly.

"What are you thinking?" Liu Xunyin walked up to him.

Wen Ember looked into the distance: "Why didn't she ask the child if she wanted to die for the child." Perhaps, he didn't want to live either. ”

Liu Xunyin knew that he was thinking of his senior sister and hugged him gently. Ember's chest was thick and strong, and his heartbeat was powerful. But only Liu Xunyin understands that he is not as invincible as he seems.

Wen Yan's throat moved: "Looking for sound." ”

"Huh?"

"Nothing. He let down all his guard and rested his chin gently on her soft shoulder. Liu Xunyin has a light aroma of bluegrass, and she seems to be able to forget all her worries by her side.

"It seems to be a mission to find the secret left by my senior sister. Wen Ember muttered, "All along, I have used it to support my life. But I don't know what I'm going to do when I'm done. ”

"It's a foregone conclusion, and instead of dwelling on grief, it's better to accept reality. As long as people live, there is always a way to go, right?" Liu Xunyin comforted softly.

"Hmm. Ember replied softly.

The child cried in the room, and the two lifted the curtain and walked back to the room. Liu Xunyin gently patted the child's chest and coaxed him to sleep.

When you see him, you will think of when Qinghe was born. I was four years old at the time, and I spent my days playing with him at the cradle. My mother has a big heart, and I didn't come back after going out for a long time, so I went to Uncle Yuan to ask for milk and fed him little by little. In the blink of an eye, Qinghe has reached the age of adulthood. Liu Xunyin said with a smile.

Wen Ember walked over, leaned over to look at the immature face in the cradle, and couldn't help but reach out and touch it, and the child's fleshy little hand held his fingertips. His heart moved, and he turned into a little tenderness.

"I'm afraid it's ......inconvenient to take the child all the way," Wen Ember frowned, "I can't guarantee that I can protect him thoroughly." ”

"Don't worry, I will take care of the child, and you can just get busy with business. Tang Qiqi came back from outside, holding a rattle and goat's milk in his hand: "The officers and soldiers posted notices on the street: The murderer committed suicide by throwing his child into the river, and the head of the Zhang family is kind-hearted and will not be investigated." It's ridiculous. ”

"Qiqi, why have you been there for so long, but what trouble have you encountered?"

"Sister Xunyin, I'm fine. Tang Qiqi smiled and said, "During the day, I inquired about the Xia Zhang Mansion on the street. The old man of the Zhang family, whose original surname was Xu, was a poor talent, who lived on the meager income of the imperial court, and later joined the Zhang family, and even changed his surname. This Mrs. Zhang is good at taking care of the family business and has a strong personality. Her younger brother Zhang Dong was out and about, and returned to Chuzhou in the year of marriage, but no one dared to marry because of bad conduct. ”

"In order to maintain the reputation of a gentleman, he treats human life as a mustard and kills at will. The child's mother is also pitiful. Liu Xunyin shook his head.

The child coughed faintly, and she quickly reached out to check the child's pulse.

"How is the child?" asked Tang Qiqi nervously.

"As long as you take care of it, you won't leave the root of the disease. It's just that the scar on his forehead is too deep, and I'm afraid it won't heal completely. Liu Xunyin took out the ointment from the package and gently dotted it on the child's face.

"It's okay for a boy to have a little scar. Tang Qiqi smiled and said, "It's good that your life is fine." ”

After resting for two days, the three of them added some clothes to the child and planned to get up and set off. When I walked into the street, I saw an endless stream of carriages coming and going, rolling up dust in the sky.

"What's going on?" Tang Qiqi asked, stopping a passerby.

"Mrs. Zhangfu married her brother, the bride is a rich lady in Jinling, and it is said that it took several carriages to bring the dowry, and the pomp was very large. The little guy shook his head: "This Zhang Dong son, he can only marry a foreign lady." ”

"It's Zhangfu again. When the little girl left, Tang Qiqi sneered: "As soon as my wife and children died, I couldn't wait to marry." I want to see how the self-proclaimed kind-hearted Zhang family raised this brazen brute. ”

"Qiqi. Liu Xunyin grabbed her: "Don't make trouble." ”

"Sister Xunyin, let me stay for another day, I can't swallow this breath. Tang Qiqi said.

Liu Xunyin looked at Wen Yan, and he nodded slightly.

The night wedding banquet was very lively, Wen Yan took the two of them into Zhang's mansion with light skills, and Tang Qiqi disappeared in a blink of an eye, and he couldn't find it everywhere.

"Miss Tang has kung fu on her, it's fine. Ember comforted.

Halfway through the banquet, the butler sent a dance formation to cheer up, and everyone let out a cry of amazement.

The dancer in the middle is dressed in a purple gauze dress with an extremely slender waist, and when she dances barefoot, she wears a delicate ring. A little cinnabar between the eyebrows, although it is a tulle mask, you can still see that the eyes are smart, charming and charming. The people present couldn't help but be stunned, including tonight's groom official, Zhang Dong.

"It's Qiqi. Liu Xunyin was surprised: "How did she ......?"

Wen Ember frowned and remained silent.

When the song ended, the dancers dispersed, and the two followed, but Tang Qiqi was nowhere to be seen. Wen Ember was thoughtful, and when he went back, sure enough, the groom official also withdrew.

"Let's go. Wen Yan grabbed Liu Xunyin's hand: "Miss Tang is afraid that she will go to Zhang Dong to take revenge." ”

People came and went in the mansion, and the two couldn't know the location of the wings. Liu Xunyin stretched out his hand to stop a maid: "Girl, where is the new house?"

"Are you ......" the maid asked vigilantly when she saw her face.

"I am the maidservant brought by the new lady, and the housekeeper told me to sprinkle more peanuts and longan under the futon...... When I first arrived, I got lost. ”

"...... in the West Courtyard" The maid's expression relaxed, and she stretched out her hand and pointed: "However, you will go back in an hour, otherwise you will die." ”

"Why?" Liu Xunyin wondered.

"Don't ask, just listen to me. The maid hurried away with a look of panic on her face.

Wen Shen Liu Xunyin and the two walked in the direction pointed by the maid, twisted the window paper in the room, but saw the bride sitting quietly on the edge of the bed, and there was no Zhang Dong.

"Where will Qiqi be?" Liu Xunyin looked at Wen Yan, who also shook his head suspiciously.

The two of them searched carefully through the backyard, only to see a room with a candle lit. At this point, they should all be busy at the feast. Wen Ember and Liu Xunyin walked over and heard a contemptuous sneer in front of the door.

"It's Qiqi. Liu Xunyin pushed open the door suddenly, only to see Tang Qiqi sitting at the table drinking tea with an indifferent expression. Zhang Dong on the bed stiffened, Liu Xunyin pressed his pulse in the past, but it was stagnant and frozen.

"Qiqi, you are too bold, this is Zhang's Mansion. Liu Xunyin asked anxiously: "Have you been treated by him?" ”

"Sister Xunyin, don't worry, he doesn't have the ability. Tang Qiqi said with a smile.

"Nonsense! That hasn't made him remember it for long. is so obsessed, and on the big day, he still messes with the dancers. Mrs. Zhang's angry knock on the door came from outside the door: "Zhang Dong, open the door!"

"Before I could go to her, she came to the door. Tang Qiqi said with a smile.

When Mrs. Zhang entered the door, Wen Ember reached out to cover the attendant's mouth and knocked him unconscious with his sword. Mrs. Zhang panicked and turned pale with fright: "Someone!

"If you shout again, I'll break your neck. Tang Qiqi said coldly.

"What do you want to do! This is Zhang's Mansion!"

"Mrs. Zhang, do you remember the mother and son who threw themselves into the river a few days ago, that is, the cheap maids you just said. Tang Qiqi squatted down and looked at her.

"She wants to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, and she deserves it!" Mrs. Zhang trembled: "What is your relationship with her!"

"It's none of your business. Tang Qiqi reached out and pinched her chin hard, pouring a bottle of medicine.

"What is this?" Mrs. Zhang clenched her throat and wanted to spit it out, but in an instant, her pupils dilated, and her face fell down like ashes.

"Mother!" someone outside the door exclaimed, and the three of them hurriedly chased out. A young child stepped on a stone and fell heavily to the ground, and when he looked closely, it was Mrs. Zhang's son.

"You!" the child cried loudly: "Mother...... Mother......"

Tang Qiqi stretched out his hand, wanting to gather cold poison in the palm of his hand.

"Miss Tang!" Wen Shen stretched out his hand to stop her: "Childish innocent." ”

"That's fine. Tang Qiqi took out a golden pill from his arms and stuffed it into his mouth.

"No, you can't. Liu Xunyin held her hand.

"If you don't die, let him hallucinate something. Tang Qiqi looked at the joyous wedding banquet in the distance: "Brother Wen, Sister Xunyin, let's go." ”

After ......returning to the inn, Liu Xunyin picked up the sleeping child in the cradle and said with palpitations: "After all, you and the child's mother are just a meeting in Pingshui. ”

"I have a relationship with this child, rather than let him grow up in hatred, it is better to avenge him first and cut the grass and eradicate the roots. ”

"The death of his mother is not only about the Zhang siblings. Wen Ember leaned against the door and said, "All the bystanders are executioners. ”

"There are too many indifferent spectators, and I can't control them. Tang Qiqi changed his usual routine and said solemnly: "I accept the evil nature of human nature, but I can't act without a bottom line, the Zhang sisters and brothers don't respect life, they are innocent of death, and one life is just one life." ”

"Today's matter, I want to come to Zhang's Mansion and I won't give up," Liu Xunyin looked worried.

"Sister rest assured. Tang Qiqi smiled: "I inquired." Since the last time Zhang Fu reported to the official to arrest people, rumors have been spreading in the city. If today's incident is spread again, it will only be said that the Zhang sisters and brothers were wronged and deserved. Master Zhang is a scholar, and his reputation is the most important, so he will suppress things. What's more, the two are arrogant, and he has long held grudges against them. ”

Liu Xunyin looked at the sleeping child in his arms: "Okay, the matter is over, let's leave tomorrow." ”
