The Sick Beauty in the Republic of China

"Shen Sheng going to take a look?" Wang Luan gently pulled Qi Chensheng's hand, thinking that since the matter happened in Qi Longxun's yard, he probably didn't want to interfere.

"Whatever she does," Qi Chensheng supported Wang Luan's shoulders again, and combed his hair for him in the mirror: "If Aunt Ji is fine, I still have to trouble her about Huang Fu yesterday... Now that the person is lost, it is simply not our turn to worry."

It's good to think like this. After both of them were fully dressed, they asked Feng Shan to bring breakfast. They planned to go to the pool outside before the heat in the early morning. Unexpectedly, the little steward beside Qi Mojun, Feng Jing Hastily closed the door.

"When the second young master came back yesterday, I was checking the accounts outside. Come here early today to say hello to you and the new wife." Feng Jing is also in his thirties, and he can be regarded as Qi Mojun's confidant. smiley.

Wang Luan looked at him sideways, and when he heard that he was one of Qi Mojun's subordinates, he also smiled politely.

Qi Chensheng didn't like Feng Jing's set very much, and continued to feed Wang Luan's bird's nest porridge, and said lightly: "Guard Feng is a busy man, and he still made this trip just to say hello to me?"

"What did the elder brother ask you to do, tell me."

It was not embarrassing for Feng Jing to be exposed, and he pointed in the direction of the East Courtyard with a poignant smile: "What the young master means is...the matter over there, let you go and have a look."

Qi Chensheng frowned, and Feng Jing immediately said: "Young master knows that you don't want to talk to him, but the old man's birthday is just around the corner, and the young lady passed by a few days ago, so I really can't see anything."

"It's fine if they're messing around in their own room, but in case something really happens—you'd better go and have a look, so you can rest assured."

"Understood." Speaking of this, Qi Chensheng also understood that what the elder brother meant was that he wanted to use the matter of the East Court to show himself a good face in front of the old man.After all, it is a family, leaving each other a step down.

"I'll go take a look later."

So the matter was settled like this, Feng Jing checked the accounts outside, and left soon.But they also left a little girl named Huan Yingtao to wait for their orders.

Wang Luan was fed another half bowl of porridge by Qi Chensheng, and after the two of them rested, they took the little girl Yingtao and went to the east courtyard without further delay.

When passing by the East Courtyard in the car before, Wang Luan still felt that the area occupied by this place was not small. If it was only for Grand Master Qi Longxun to live in, it should be quite spacious inside.

But who would have thought that after actually walking in with Qi Chensheng, he felt very depressed.Within a few steps, there are courtyard walls separating them, and the artificial hills and ponds that should be used as the background are also scattered, which really ruined the good courtyard.

"Back then, the old man thought he was the eldest son, so he assigned the east courtyard to him alone." Qi Chensheng held Wang Luan in his arms, and at some point he had the gentleman's staff in his hand, and smiled sarcastically as he walked, "I haven't come in for a few years. After that, he really didn’t waste this place.”

"Second Young Master, follow me." The little girl Yingtao was also considered to be a bold and prudent girl, listening to Qi Chensheng's words, she just pretended not to hear her and led them to the path.

After three turns and two turns, the three of them finally came to the small courtyard. Before they approached, Wang Luan saw that the courtyard door was only half-closed, and he could predict the panic and haste when the previous person left.

"Second Young Master, this is here... After Aunt Ji gave birth to Ninth Young Master, she visited the courtyard alone." Ying Tao walked in front and opened the courtyard door for them, her expression was really not very good.Even though she was considered a brave person, she didn't want to enter such a courtyard.

Naturally, Qi Chensheng could see that, so he didn't want to embarrass her here, after all, if he brought her in, it would be a burden if something happened to him: "Just wait outside the door."

After hearing this, the little girl Yingtao glanced at him gratefully, but Qi Chensheng just supported Wang Luan and walked towards the courtyard.

After experiencing the previous incidents, Wang Luan actually made preparations in his heart, but when he really walked into this courtyard, he still felt inexplicable.

This kind of inexplicability does not come from some kind of strangeness, but on the contrary, everything is too ordinary.

The pomegranate trees by the courtyard wall were still blooming red flowers, scattered scattered on the ground.Birds came and pecked at the figs under the window, and when they saw them coming in, they hopped away.

The main room is short, and there are three or two swallow nests under the eaves, but the door is half open at the moment, and the furnishings inside can still be seen vaguely.

Wang Luan and Qi Chensheng looked at each other, pushed open the glass door, and walked in.

The room is not very big, there are only three small rooms on the left and right. Walking inside, you can see the bed with the tent of many children and many blessings. There is an embroidery shed at the foot of the bed. Wang Luan bent over to pick it up. Look, there are a few koi fish embroidered on it, about the size of a bellyband for a child.

Although he is not proficient in this, but he can also see that the stitches are very messy, either because the embroidery work is too poor, or because the embroidery is restless.

Qi Chensheng stepped forward and opened the small cabinet beside the bed, and saw that there were various talisman papers and talisman water stuffed inside. Most of them were of various colors, and they should have been obtained from different places.

"It seems... Aunt Ji really feels that she has been bewitched by evil spirits." Wang Luan walked up to Qi Chensheng and looked at the cabinet full of yellow paper fresh cinnabar charms. sex.

The whole room is only this big, so if you search further, you might not be able to find anything, and Qi Chensheng didn't feel the aura of holding a demon.

Just when they were about to leave, they heard another little girl's voice from outside: "Yingtao, just let me go in and meet the second young master."

"I really have something to tell him... Aunt Ji's fate is really her retribution."

What he said was interesting, anyway, there was nothing unusual in the yard, so Qi Chensheng simply embraced Wang Luan, intending to hear what the little girl could say.

As soon as the two of them walked out of the courtyard, the little girl who was stopped by Yingtao hurriedly jumped up and waved vigorously at Qi Chensheng: "Second Young Master, Second Young Master, I know about Aunt Ji!"

Wang Luan raised his eyes and looked at her. She was about the same sixteen or seventeen years old as Yingtao, but her clothes were very dull. She should be a rough envoy.

Qi Chensheng signaled Yingtao to let her go with his gentleman's staff, and waited until the little girl rushed in front of him, then looked down at her and asked lightly: "What do you want to say about Aunt Ji?"

The little girl had prepared a lot of words before, but after seeing Qi Chensheng's broken eyes, she couldn't speak, and lowered her head tremblingly: "I, I just happened to watch the second young master go this way, guess what? It seems that you are here to investigate Aunt Ji's treachery, that's why you came here."

Qi Chensheng didn't say anything, but just raised his chin to let her continue: "Aunt Ji, this is all retribution!"

"What did you say?"

"At first, I served Aunt Yu. Three years ago, Aunt Yu had a child and I fell into Aunt Ji's favor...so she changed her mind, and Aunt Yu lost her child."

"I've heard people say that she's been hearing baby ghosts crying recently, isn't that just retribution!"

Wang Luan looked at her with an angry face, almost gnashing his teeth with hatred, but he didn't say anything to her, but turned to Yingtao and asked, "Is it true that the story of Aunt Ji's rebellion is so widely spread in the East Court?"

Yingtao didn't expect Wang Luan to ask her this, but she quickly replied politely: "Many people know that there are many aunts and girls in the yard here, and the news cannot be kept secret."

Wang Luan nodded after hearing this, coughed a few times, and then turned his gaze back to the little girl who came to complain: "How do you know these things?"

The little girl had obviously already thought about her speech, coupled with Wang Luan's gentleness, she said without any burden: "It was my sister Xiangyue who said it."

"Back when our sisters came to the Qi family, I was assigned to take care of Aunt Yu, and my sister was under Aunt Ji's hands... But not long after Aunt Yu's accident, Xiangyue was kicked out by Aunt Ji for some reason."

"I asked her what was going on, and she secretly told me that it was she who saw Aunt Ji buying a talisman paper from a Taoist priest in the temple, which killed my master. Aunt Ji was afraid that she would talk nonsense, so she sent She kicked out."

The sun was gradually rising, but fortunately the place where they were standing was shaded by the courtyard wall, so it was not very sunny. After listening to the little girl's words, Wang Luan exchanged glances with Qi Chensheng in private, and then asked: "Then why are you Don’t tell others earlier, but tell us this?”

"We girls are soft-spoken, and even if we say it, someone will believe it—but now it's different, Aunt Ji has suffered retribution, and I thought that if I could meet a sensible person, I would tell the matter he."

"One is to complain for my sister, and the other is to help Aunt Yu and her unborn child to seek justice."

The little girl answered more and more smoothly, but Wang Luan just shook his head and sighed.

"You, why are you sighing?" At this moment, the little girl felt something was wrong, she took a peek at Qi Chensheng, and then said to Wang Luan: "What I'm telling is the truth, I'm not lying at all."

"The old things you said are probably true." Wang Luan stood there for a long time, feeling tired and his legs were a little weak. Fortunately, Qi Chensheng grabbed his waist in time and lent him strength: "But this last sentence is not true."

"I, I really did it to help Aunt Yu to seek justice... Her child was lost so pitifully..." The little girl's voice was a little weak, and she still wanted to insist on not changing her words, but the next moment she met Qi Chensheng and said coldly look.

Qi Chensheng knocked twice on the gentleman's staff seemingly unintentionally, and supported Wang Luan with one arm. The little girl's already stiff figure was reflected in her gray broken eyes. A short sentence cut off all her excuses: " You don't want to help her, you want to hurt her."

"It's true that Aunt Ji caused Aunt Yu to have a miscarriage, but if it's according to what you said—the one that Aunt Ji is hitting now is Aunt Yu's dead baby."

"You want to lead us to her, that's the truth."
