Li Wan was startled when she saw the word "kill", she gathered herself together, and sent Suyun to call the housekeeper Lin Zhixiao's house, and asked her if there was anyone named Wan in her family.

Lin Zhixiao's family didn't understand what it meant, but they still answered seriously: "Back to grandma, of course there is no such word in the master. The wives, grandmas and girls in our family don't carry such words. As for the maids and women, I haven't either. I noticed that someone called this word, of course, it may also be the old lady, I am getting old, and the newly added little maid and daughter-in-law couldn't think of it for a while, so why don't I take the roster to see."

Everyone hurriedly took the roster, searched it several times from beginning to end, but still couldn't find it.Many family members and daughters-in-law are called by their husband's name, and some maids have changed their names because of the master's taboo, but they never remember them one by one. until then.

Li Wan's heart was on fire, and there was another situation in Yihong Courtyard.Baoyu, who was originally healthy, suddenly suffered from the same symptoms as Jia Lan, and pinching people is no longer a problem. Mrs. Wang is no longer just sighing and mourning, she is going to pick her heart and cry like hell, Jia Zheng Jia amnesty sent people to invite high-ranking people everywhere, and the mansion became even more chaotic.

Mother Jia heard that she was going to have a look, but she couldn't get up because of her serious illness, so she had to hold Yuanyang's hand and cry bitterly: "Is Zheng'er's house going to be destroyed? What a crime we have done. Such retribution will come to them! God, if you take Baoyu and Lan'er away this time, my life will be meaningless. Anyway, my old bones are worthless, so you can take me for their lives!"

Yuanyang and the others hurriedly comforted Jia's mother, saying "it's okay, it will be slowed down", and at the same time sent people to inquire about the news.

Li Wan stared at the lonely Fairy Bu in the room, and said in despair: "You said that the name of the person is Wan, but there is no such name in our house, tell me where to find it! Could it be that the person is a dead person, even the name Has it all turned to ashes?"

After finishing speaking, Li Wan's heart skipped a beat, and he stood up abruptly as if thinking of something.

Wait, dead?Turned into ashes?

It was a long time ago, when she was walking through the garden and returning to her room, she overheard a person talking to herself: "Hua'er, you just rely on your beauty, so you have so many names, all of which are memorable." Can’t stop. I only have one name, but no one has ever called it seriously. When I was a child, my parents didn’t call me by it. When I got married, my husband didn’t call me by it. My mother-in-law and sister-in-law didn’t even look down on me... I’m worse off than a dead person. There is a name on it. Master is not master, slave is not slave, what am I?"

After the past receded, Li Wan finally understood why he couldn't find out that person, because that person was neither a serious master nor a slave!After figuring this out, the real identity of that person was immediately clear in Li Wan's mind.She didn't have time to inform her superiors, and rushed to the place where the man lived with a group of maids and women.

Aunt Zhou just came back from Aunt Zhao, her legs were sore and her ears were numb, so she asked the little maid to pour tea to drink, and she leaned on the kang to rest tiredly.

Just now, after hearing Aunt Zhao's constant applause and applause, I knew that Baoyu and Jia Lan's illnesses were not serious, and my heart was full of worry, and a little bit of... pleasure.

Aunt Zhou suddenly opened her eyes and smiled.

As for Jia Huan, don't worry, there will be times when you are unlucky.

The little maid was lazy, and it took a long time to bring a cup of tea, then put it on the table and left.Aunt Zhou has long been used to it. She reached out to take the tea, but found that the tea was completely cold.

The furnishings in the house are not shabby, but they are hopelessly desolate, with a bit of gloom and bleakness. It is the end of summer, but the house is full of autumn early, it feels like a big yawn Bringing tears to the eyes.

It won't be long before two people will be carried out here to be buried, right?Aunt Zhou put down her teacup and was about to pick up her shoes when the door was suddenly pushed open.

She didn't inform the maid, so she wasn't surprised.But after seeing the person coming, she, who was always calm, couldn't help but trembled.

"Where is it?" Li Wan's voice was also trembling, the two women looked at each other in horror, Aunt Zhou was speechless for a while.

"What did Grandma say?" Aunt Zhou stood up, forced a smile, and said, "Grandma rarely comes here, and the little hoofs are just lazy, so hurry up and pour..."

"Enough!" Li Wan roared angrily, "Give me that thing quickly! I have no grievances with you, why did you kill my Lan'er!"

Aunt Zhou's face turned pale all of a sudden, and she sat back down.Seeing this, Biyue hurriedly shouted: "What are you doing here? Search all over here! Take out all the pickled things, but if you can't find them, you have tossed the land. If someone asks, we will go back to your wife." They go!"

Those women were eager to make a sound, and rushed in in a hurry, taking advantage of the chaos and hiding some valuable things.The maids were careful and checked everything. Aunt Zhou gradually regained her composure. She watched indifferently, as if all this had nothing to do with her.

Li Wan ordered people to guard Aunt Zhou, while he personally participated in the search.Finally, two dolls were found on a bed board under Aunt Zhou's pillow, with Jialan and Baoyu's birth date on the back of the white paper, the dolls were full of black needles, and there were burn marks. Next to the rag doll is a group of green-faced ghosts with fangs, each holding a fork in the shape of an assassin.

Seeing this scene, Li Wan wished to tear up Aunt Zhou with his own hands.An older woman wrapped those things in silk, carefully placed them on a plate and said to Li Wan, "Grandma, we still need to show these things to the ladies, let Ma Daopo come and see, she must have a way."

Li Wan nodded, the old woman went to please the woman who didn't touch the ground, Suyun was afraid that she would be unsteady, so she hurriedly followed her all the way.

Li Wan walked up to Aunt Zhou and slapped her hard.Aunt Zhou's cheeks flushed, but she just didn't feel it, and stood there in a daze, without any reaction.

Bi Yue hurriedly came up and said: "Grandma's hand hurts carefully, if she waits like her, the wife and master will definitely not spare her, grandma calms down, it's not worth it to save her body from getting angry." After finishing speaking, she spat on Aunt Zhou's face again: "You little wife with a dark heart! If anything happens to the two brothers, you and your family will pay for it!"

Not long after, Sister Feng rushed over with the help of Mrs. Wang.Mrs. Wang's eyes were burning, and without a word, she walked up to Aunt Zhou and slapped her a few times. She squatted on the ground slowly in pain. Mrs. Wang was still puzzled, and ordered: "Come some women, take her Take it to the yard and beat him with a big stick until he dies!"

As soon as the words fell, Jia Zheng came with many people.The courtyard suddenly fell silent. He glanced coldly at Aunt Zhou, and said, "Lock up this lowly maidservant and tell someone to keep an eye on her. Don't commit suicide. Lian'er, go ask her family and see what happened today. How to deal with it."

Aunt Zhou struggled and said, "There's no need to call my mother, they're all dead. I only reported for funeral leave last month, and I know none of you take it seriously."

Mrs. Wang cried and scolded: "I see that you are usually quieter and kinder than Aunt Zhao. How do you know that you are such a vicious bitch! Baoyu and Lan'er are two young children, you can do it, they ruined you! What, your conscience was eaten by a dog? We usually treat you well, but you are so ungrateful!"

Aunt Zhou was silent for a while, and said: "What kindness do you have to me? I was going to be released, but because I liked my honesty, I was allowed to be my aunt, and I was forced to die without asking if I would like to." My cousin. After Master Zhu died, I was pregnant with one. I didn’t know the gender, but my wife sent someone to push me and slipped it off. Which one of the masters, wives, young masters and misses in this mansion is not Jinyiyu For food, I'm not even as good as the favored girl in the hot house. My mother and I have no money to treat them when they are sick. You gave the beggar the 20 taels of silver, and you gave it once and refused to give it again. You can't eat it. You have raised eyebrows and low eyes. I thought about it, and I really haven't received any kindness from you all these years."

Mrs. Wang was so angry that she trembled all over: "At this point, you still want to splash dirty water with green mouth and white teeth! I didn't even know you were pregnant, when did I send someone to push you? Besides, I'm the one who doesn't tolerate people. Yes, why did Aunt Zhao give birth to two? I can be forgiven for being upset in your heart, how did his daughter-in-law offend you, and you didn’t even let her go! Are you not afraid that the dead will come looking for you? "

Aunt Zhou kept silent.Jia Zheng shouted, "Stop making noise. It's serious to break the witchcraft." Sister Feng said, "Go back to the master. The mother of Baoyu has arrived and is doing it."

After ordering people to look after Aunt Zhou, everyone rushed to the hall.I saw Ma Daopo dressed solemnly, muttering incense and ashes there, jumping up and down with great joy.I don't know how long she fiddled with it, but she finally erased the birthday paper and black needles on the doll, and after burning those things, a little maid came from Yihong Courtyard and said that Baoyu had begun to recover.

Li Wan sent someone to visit Jia Lan, but when he learned that Jia Lan was not improving, he panicked and hurriedly said to Mrs. Wang: "Madam, Aunt Zhou is really hateful. Lan'er is in danger, so please help him...for him." He pays with his life!"

Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth and said, "Why did I never want to end her? It's just that the master ordered this matter not to be spread outside, there must be something hidden, and we are discussing it inside. Before that, no one is allowed to touch her."

Li Wan had never killed anyone, not even a chicken. When she learned that the only way to save her was to stop killing, the torment of conflict in her heart was more tormenting than anything else.When she returned to Daoxiang Village, she saw that Jia Lan was only breathing out but not in, her eyes were slightly red, and she took a pair of scissors to go to Aunt Zhou's yard alone.

Before he got there, he saw Aunt Zhou's house burning into the sky from a distance, and many servants ran to tell each other: "It's flooded! Come and save me!"

Li Wan froze on the spot, and several women who looked like women hurried over with basins in their hands and complained: "I watched it carefully, how could it catch fire? It started from the outside, who doesn't have eyes like this."

The fire was not saved until dark, but fortunately Aunt Zhou's house was not connected to other courtyards, so it didn't burn too many places.Aunt Zhou was burned to death inside, so the Jia family naturally covered up the disaster caused by witchcraft, and no one was allowed to mention it again.Mrs. Wang ordered to throw out Aunt Zhou’s coke-like body wrapped in a broken mat. There was no memorial tablet on the mass grave, and Aunt Zhou’s wish was in vain. Until she died, no one remembered her real name. .
