The legend of Dukang

Outside the window, the night is thick.

"Auntie, save me!" In the simple and stuffy woodshed, Jade was no longer as glamorous as it used to be, her hair was disheveled, and five red finger prints were very obvious on her pale cheeks.All the accessories on his body have been stripped off, leaving only his luxurious clothes, dim in the dim candlelight.

"Shh! Keep your voice down." Mother Zhou hurriedly covered Fei Cui's mouth, looked outside the door, paused for a while and was relieved when no one came in, "I ran out secretly without telling Madam, the guards have been arrested. I have spent, and I don't have much time. Please explain to me clearly what is going on."

"Auntie, it's really not my fault, uncle, I was wronged!" As if she had just realized her situation, Fei Cui cried while grabbing Zhou Mama's clothes.

"What's the matter with that bowl of ebony soup!" Zhou Ma held Fei Cui's shoulders tightly and shook her vigorously: "You will pay for your life if you kill someone! Fei Cui, you have to think about it carefully!"

"Auntie, I was wronged, I didn't know that licorice is poisonous!" Fei Cui cried anxiously, "That's Aunt Zhao's prescription, I just followed it."

"What? Zhao Wanru?" Zhou Ma quickly sat on the haystack, looked at Fei Cui and said, "What's going on here, you start from the beginning."

"Yes." Fei Cui calmed down her breath, and then said slowly: "The black plum soup made by Aunt Zhao is cool and refreshing, and I like it very much. It's a pity that only Aunt Zhao knows the recipe and never tells others. A cook secretly wrote down the ingredients used by Aunt Zhao when she was making ebony soup. I wanted to use it to please the uncle, but who knows..."

"It must be Zhao Wanru who is playing tricks behind your back, deliberately giving you a prescription that can poison people to death!" Zhou Ma gritted her silver teeth, shaking with anger, she looked down at Fei Cui who was still crying, and said: " Did you make this soup yourself?"

"Well, this recipe cost so much money, how dare my niece leak it out. But during the middle of the boil, I was afraid of the heat, so I let Xiaohua see it for a while." Fei Cui sobbed.

Zhou Ma rolled her eyes and said to Fei Cui: "Saving your life is the most important thing, tomorrow you will insist that the soup is poisoned by Xiao Hua."

Fei Cui raised her head to look at Mother Zhou, and asked uncertainly, "Is this possible?"

"I can only try it if it's okay." A hint of calculation flashed in Zhou's mother's eyes: "Tonight, I will find a chance to blow wind in Mrs. Side's ear first. Tomorrow you will cry when you see Mrs. Side, saying that Xiaohua wants to seduce the uncle and you will be killed." Catch it, so I hold a grudge, and poisoned the uncle in order to get revenge on you. She is a powerless little girl, and she can't do anything!"

Jade was silent for a while, but still nodded, but there was always a trace of panic in her eyes.She looked up at Mother Zhou, and asked hesitantly, "Then, what will Mrs. Side do with Xiao Hua?"

Zhou Ma's eyes darkened, and she blamed: "What time is it, and I'm still worried about these things, it's important to protect yourself!"

Fei Cui quickly bowed her head to admit her mistake: "Auntie taught me a lesson!"

The aunt and nephew made up their minds together again, and prepared their speeches for tomorrow.Zhou's mother just picked the weeds stuck to her clothes, got up and went back to the main house.

As soon as she entered the door, Zhou's mother felt that the atmosphere was not right. Li Shi, who had been half-dead and comatose, was sitting on the main seat, and a row of maids stood behind her. little flower.

Zhou's mother stared and thumped in her heart, and quickly squeezed out a smile to meet her and said, "Madam is not feeling well, why don't you lie down and rest."

Mrs. Li ignored Zhou's mother, and looked at her coldly for a while, until Zhou's mother broke out in a cold sweat, and then asked coldly: "It's so late, what did you do?"

"Here." Zhou's mother paused for a moment before she smiled and said, "I see it's getting hot again tonight. I'm afraid Madam won't be able to rest well, so I want to go to the ice cellar to get a few pieces of ice to relieve Madam from the heat."

"Oh!" Mrs. Li replied lightly, looked at Zhou Ma's empty hands and asked, "What about the ice?"

"Hehe, it's too dark, the servants can't see the way clearly, I want to come back and get a lamp before going there." Zhou Ma said dryly.

"Yo! It's a big deal, just send a servant girl to go. Is it necessary to trouble Mama Zhou to go in person?" Yue'e said coolly.

Seeing Yue'e's words, Zhou's mother immediately put on a straight face: "Aunt Yue'e, what are you talking about? The slave has been serving Madam for decades, and she has always done her best! But take a piece of ice, why make such a fuss?"

Yue'e was not intimidated by Zhou's mother, she walked up to Zhou's mother gracefully, and raised her hand.

"What are you doing?" Thinking she was about to make a move, Mother Zhou took a step back vigilantly.

Yue'e smiled slightly, stretched out her hand and twirled a weed on Zhou Ma's shoulder, and said: "I just sympathize with you because you are old, and I am afraid that you will not see the road clearly and fall, why are you making such a fuss? Look at this body Those who know think you have gone to the ice cellar, those who don't know think you have rolled into the grass nest!"

Zhou's mother suddenly broke out in cold sweat, and said awkwardly: "Maybe it was accidentally touched by Tianhe."

"Hey, the grass that can touch your shoulders is tall enough!" Yue'e seemed to be amused by herself, and she covered her mouth and smiled coquettishly.

Zhao Wanru said to Xiao Hua who was still kneeling: "In front of Mother Zhou, repeat what you just said to Madam."

"Yes." Xiaohua gave Zhou Mama a resentful look, and said: "Since Aunt Fei Cui fell out of favor, she has been complaining and cursing the old man for liking the new and loathing the old, and having no conscience. She also said that one day, sooner or later, she would dig out the old man's heart and see if it is true." Red is black!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Before Xiao Hua finished speaking, Zhou's mother was so angry that her eyes were red, and she was about to rush up and tear her up.

Yue'e stopped in front of Xiaohua, and said with a half smile: "Hey, Madam Zhou, the madam is not angry, why are you in such a hurry! Let this girl finish her sentence, she will kill or kill her! "

Looking up at Mrs. Li's cold gaze, Mama Zhou had no choice but to hold back, and stood aside embarrassingly.

Zhao Wanru continued: "Since you know that Fei Cui has a grudge against the uncle, why didn't you say so earlier?"

Xiaohua kowtowed again and again: "My servant thought that what Aunt Fei Cui said was angry, but she didn't take it seriously! Today, my aunt specially boiled my uncle's favorite ebony soup, and asked my servant to wait on the road that my uncle passed by. I must drag him to the lotus garden Come on. The servant girl thought that my aunt had figured it out, but who knew that my aunt was so bold and poisoned the uncle to death! The ebony soup was made by Aunt Fei Cui herself, and everyone in the kitchen can testify! Get out! This matter really has nothing to do with slaves! I beg my wife to be clear!"

"Since you know that the uncle's death was caused by Fei Cui! Why didn't you expose her in the Hehoe Garden today?" Yue'e shouted.

"Damn the maidservant! Damn the maidservant! The servant girl was also shocked at that time! Besides, Aunt Fei Cui is the master of the servant girl, so the servant girl was confused for a moment!" Xiao Hua's big eyes were filled with tears instantly, and she said sobbing.

"Then why did you come here to expose Fei Cui again?" Mother Zhou asked coldly.

Xiao Hua straightened her kneeling spine, stared at Zhou Mama not to be outdone, and said: "There are many mosquitoes at night, and this servant is afraid that Aunt Fei Cui will be wronged in the woodshed, so I want to secretly send her some incense and food. Who knows... …Who would have heard that Aunt Fei Cui had a secret conversation with Mother Zhou in the firewood room, and wanted to blame the servant who killed the uncle. The servant knew that she would do her best to serve the master and never neglected it, but the aunt treated the servant like this! Please also ask Madam to be the master of your servant!" Xiao Hua fell to the ground and cried bitterly after finishing speaking.

"You, you spitting blood!" Mother Zhou pointed at Xiao Hua, speechless with anger.

Li Zhu said abruptly: "Even such a good girl can have the heart to frame her, she is so heartless! Fortunately, God has eyes! If Xiaohua didn't miss her master and happened to come across this conspiracy, she might be sent to the government as a scapegoat tomorrow." !"

"You, you..." Seeing that she couldn't speak to the crowd, Mama Zhou quickly knelt on the ground and crawled to Li Shi's feet, hugged Li Shi and said, "Madam, I have served you for so many years, don't you know about my servant? My lord is a slave after all." Look at the big one, how could the servants harm the uncle!"

At the mention of Su Qiubao, Li's tears fell down again.

Not to be outdone, Yue'e said: "If you are not guilty, why did you secretly go to see Fei Cui without telling Madam! Right now I have a group of people who can prove that you and Fei Cui framed Xiao Hua, and dare to die without pleading guilty! Do you want me Call the guard outside the woodshed!"

Seeing Yue'e's aggressiveness, Zhou's mother knew that something was wrong, so she hugged Li and cried, "It's all because of Fei Cui's confusion, and this servant is also worried about the death of the uncle, and wants to ask the whole story of Fei Cui's incident. As for blaming Xiao Hua, it's really not I hope Madam will be able to see clearly what the servant girl thinks!"

In order to protect herself, this old woman gave up Jade so quickly!Yue'e was so angry that her teeth itched.

"Ma'am! The uncle was raised by the servants, and he is closer than his own son. If you say something that shouldn't be said, the servants have always treated the uncle as their own child. How could you harm him! Take ten thousand steps back Said, the three nieces of the servant are all married to the uncle, and they have counted on him for the rest of their lives, and the servant is for himself, so he will not do such a foolish thing!" Zhou's mother hugged Li and cried heartbroken.

Zhao Wanru saw that Li Shi was also a little loose, and quickly persuaded: "Ma'am! After all, Fei Cui is Mother Zhou's niece. Now that something happened, it is normal for Mother Zhou to worry about it. Since Fei Cui made the mistake alone, there is no need to implicate others. Please forgive Zhou Mama this time!"

Mrs. Li nodded, and said to Zhao Wanru, "I'm tired too, I'll leave this to you!"

"Yes." Zhao Wanru was delighted, and quickly gave the girl behind Li a wink.

The little girl didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly helped Li Shi into the house with Zhao Wanru.

Zhou's mother knelt on the ground with her whole body collapsed, as if she had walked through the gate of hell.

Yue'e gave Zhou Ma a bitter look, snorted coldly, and chased Zhao Wanru with Lizhu.

Zhao Wanru left after Shi Li took a rest.As soon as she left, the sleeping Li opened her eyes and tiptoed out of bed.

Seeing her like this, the girl on night watch outside was frightened out of her wits: "Ma'am, what are you doing! Are you in a daze, servant girl, please go and invite Aunt Zhao!"

Mrs. Li grabbed the girl, covered her mouth, and whispered: "Hush! Don't make a sound."

The girl was so frightened by her weird behavior that she dared not breathe.

Mrs. Li listened carefully to the movement outside the house, and it took a long time before she let go of the girl, and said softly: "Where is Zhou Mama? Tell Zhou Mama to come in!"

The girl felt relieved, and crawled out like a shit.After a while, Zhou's mother rushed into Li Shi's bedroom in a hurry. Seeing Li Shi sitting on the bed with dull eyes, she rushed over and kowtowed: "Ma'am, this slave is really wronged!"

Mrs. Li grabbed Zhou's mother and said frantically: "That bitch wants to kill me! That bitch wants to kill me!"

Zhou's mother originally thought that Mrs. Li called her in to ask her teacher to inquire about her crimes, but seeing her babbled indistinctly, Zhou's mother was in a daze: Is Madam crazy?

Mrs. Li continued to mutter: "She killed Zhang Qiushi, and she killed my son, and I will be next! You, hurry up, call Rong An back, call Rong An back!"

Zhou Ma seemed to have grasped something in an instant, and hurriedly said: "Yes! This servant will let Wang Wu invite Second Master Rong back!"

Yunshangju

"Sister is really calculating, she talked to Xiao Hua in advance, and put on such a good show in front of Mrs. Side! Mother Zhou doesn't know how to cry now!" Yue'e said and laughed.

"It's Mama Zhou who is an old woman who did the evil herself." Li Zhu Yingying added: "When I went to find Xiaohua, she was still unwilling to betray the master!..."

Yue'e interrupted her and continued: "It's not because I counted the time well. When I pulled Xiao Hua over, it was just in time for Zhou Ma and Fei Cui to discuss how to take her as the scapegoat. Even if Xiao Hua doesn't want to, she still has to think about herself! Hahaha Ha ha!"

Lizhu ignored Yue'e who was smiling prettily, looked at Zhao Wanru who was smiling and said, "Sister is far-sighted, knowing that Mother Zhou will definitely find a scapegoat for Fei Cui, otherwise they will really let her go!"

"That's right! That's right! That bitch Fei Cui couldn't please the old man by himself, but made us become widows, and even wanted to draw fire on us, he deserved it!" Yue'e said bitterly.

"Okay, okay." Zhao Wanru said: "Although Fei Cui is no longer a threat, Mother Zhou is still there. She must hate you two now! A dead camel is bigger than a horse, after all, Mother Zhou is beside Mrs. After so many years, sisters and sisters should be more careful." Zhao Wanru looked at Yue'e, and said carefully: "The aphrodisiacs in your room should also be dealt with quickly, don't be caught by Zhou Mama, lest she cause trouble in the future, Leave unnecessary trouble in vain!"

"Yes." Yue'e nodded quickly.

"Also." Zhao Wanru continued: "We are sisters anyway, and my sister doesn't hide some things. Now the uncle is gone, but the younger sisters are still young, and they have to think about their own future." Zhao Wanru coughed A voice: "I will just say what I said today, and you will just listen to it. My sister is old and has nothing to look forward to, and she will live with her son in the future. If my sisters want to stay in the Su Mansion, my sister will definitely not treat you badly! But sisters, if there is someone they like in the future, sister will not make things difficult for you! The master and the side wife are old and can't control so much. Su's mansion is not just the man, whether the sisters can climb another high branch depends on the sisters It's your job!" Zhao Wanru turned her eyes and gave them a meaningful smile.

Thinking of the graceful Wen Ruyu, Yue'e blushed immediately, and knelt down in front of Zhao Wanru to thank her: "Sister is really a living Bodhisattva! Thank you, sister!"

Seeing Yue'e knelt down, Lizhu also knelt down to thank her.

"Okay, okay! My sisters, why are you being polite!" Zhao Wanru helped them up with a smile, and said, "I'm going to send Fei Cui out of the mansion tonight, so as to save a long night and dreams. You and Fei Cui will enter the mansion together anyway, do you want to go?" Give her a ride?" Zhao Wan Ruyi said pointingly.

Yue'e understood, and immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, sister, my sister will definitely give the jade as a gift!" Yue'e turned to Lizhu and said, "Do you want to go with me?"

"How could such a good thing happen to me." Lizhu also smiled.

The two turned towards Zhao Wanru and turned to leave. Yue'e's excited voice sounded outside the house: "Jadeite may still be thinking about how to wrong Xiaohua. I didn't expect that it was not someone else who died, but herself! Hahahaha!"

Yue'e's voice gradually faded away, lost in the night.

Pei Er excitedly bowed to Zhao Wanru: "Congratulations, Madam finally got her wish!"

Zhao Wanru lay lazily on the beauty's couch, and said, "It's still close to success!"

Pei'er was puzzled: "Second master Zhang and the uncle are both dead now, and the two young masters in the mansion are both descendants of the wife. The wife can be worthy of the name of the mistress of the Su family, why is it so close!"

Zhao Wanru looked up at Pei'er and smiled and said, "Isn't there Su Qin in the mansion? He is also a member of the Su family!" Zhao Wanru's eyes darkened: "Now that the old man is dead, I don't believe he doesn't have such thoughts! "

"Madam, don't worry! The master and the wife will definitely not agree to him being the head of the house!" Pei'er comforted softly.

"After all, the master was married to the Su family. Now that his son is dead and Su Qin is Su Qingyu's bloodline, with so many eyes in the Su family, even for the sake of face, he might give up the position to Su Qin. As for the side lady...huh!" Zhao Wanru snorted disdainfully: "Without Su Qiubao, she is just a mad dog with no teeth, barking a few times!"

"Then, how does Madam plan to deal with Su Qin? Also him..." Pei'er asked tentatively.

Zhao Wanru smiled: "My brother just passed away, if he was caught having an affair with his concubine during the mourning period... Hehe, I believe he will have no face to stay in the Su family."

Thinking of what Zhao Wanru said about Lizhu and Yue'e just now, Pei'er suddenly realized: "Madam is really clever!"
