When Mrs. Han finished speaking, the snowflakes that had stopped for a long time began to dance between the sky and the earth again.They are like pulling cotton and rubbing wadding, white and clean, not like this world.

When Bai Muzhuang returned home, he was a little drunk.Because after going down to court, I went to the restaurant to have a few drinks with a few good colleagues, and now my face was slightly red, but my eyes were very bright.Facing the snowflakes flying all over the sky, he got off his horse and entered the door, a figure suddenly rushed out, startling him.After a closer look, it was Lan Xiang.Bai Muzhuang suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked: "What are you doing here? I'm back, so I will go to see Hong'er, but I don't need you to stay here." Having said this, he couldn't help but speak coldly. down.

Women and Taoists, sometimes they just have too many thoughts, which is a bit annoying.He thought so.

Amidst the falling snowflakes, Lan Xiang was trembling, her face turned blue, she said hoarsely with trembling lips, "Master, hurry up and see the girl for the last time."

"What?" Bai Muzhuang clearly heard the other person's words, but it was difficult for him to understand the meaning. "What are you grinning about? Is Hong'er angry because I came back late?"

Lan Xiangmu replied blankly: "...the child is not kept, and the girl can't hold on anymore. Master, let's go. It's late, maybe it's too late..."

This time, Bai Muzhuang finally understood Lan Xiang's words, he stretched out his hand abruptly to push her away, and ran towards Chunhong's yard.Because he ran too fast, he almost fell into the snow.Until he came to the familiar gate of the courtyard panting, but suddenly he didn't dare to take another step forward.It seems that if this step is taken, something will be broken.

The cold wind whipped snowflakes straight at the person, and the lantern hanging by the door shook violently, with mottled light and shadows.Stepping on the broken light, he stepped forward and walked into the room filled with the smell of blood.He seemed to lose sight of the other people in the room, and for a moment, he could only accommodate the faintly breathing woman on the bed.

It was originally an outstanding orchid in the valley, but it fell into his hands, and he actually raised her until it withered...

He closed his eyes in pain, and opened them again quickly.He walked slowly to the side of the bed and half-kneeled on the pedal, held her cold hand, and called out, "Hong'er, I'm back..."

He called several times in succession, but Shu Hong didn't respond at all.Bai Muzhuang's heart twitched, and he quickly stretched out his hand to test her breath.Between the touch/hand, it's icy cold.His knees softened immediately, and he fell to the ground, tears streaming down his face.

She didn't wait for him to come back.

After crying for a while, Bai Muzhuang raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears, and asked the little maid who stood by and huddled together: "Before Hong'er left, what did you say, and did you call anyone?"

The little servant girl stammered and replied, "It's just... I've been calling my mother all the time, and it hurts..."

Bai Muzhuang asked, "Didn't you call me?"

The little maid said: "No."

Hearing this, Bai Muzhuang couldn't help being stunned, and after a while he said: "Hong'er must have called me, maybe you overheard it for a while."

The little servant girl lowered her head, and replied in a voice like a mosquito: "This servant is flustered, maybe I did hear it wrong for a while..."

At this time, Lan Xiang also rushed back. Seeing that the water shield had passed away, she couldn't help touching the bed and weeping loudly like a cuckoo crying blood.Bai Muzhuang couldn't bear to listen anymore, so he walked out.In the outside room, Mrs. Han was sitting on the kang, wiping her tears with a silk handkerchief.

Bai Muzhuang walked to the other end and sat down, silent.Mrs. Han raised her red eyes to look at him, and said, "Since Puhong has no luck to serve the master anymore, it is because she does not have this fate. Don't be too sad, master, take care of yourself. Alas, I have pity on the child in her womb." ..."

Bai Muzhuang didn't say anything, and after a while, he opened his mouth and said, "What's going on? Why does a good person disappear after half a day? Just tell me what happened in detail. There's something to hide."

When Mrs. Han heard the words, she told the things one by one.When Bai Muzhuang heard this, he couldn't help being furious. He patted the table and said, "Why did you eat a bowl of porridge and get sick? There must be something wrong with the porridge! Who made the porridge, who passed through it, and gave it to me. check!"

Mrs. Han said: "The porridge is made in their own small kitchen here. Only the cook and Lan Xiang passed by. I have already ordered the cook to be arrested and locked up in the firewood room. I will wait for the master to come back and interrogate her." .”

After hearing Madam Han's words, Bai Muzhuang's anger calmed down a little, he nodded to her and said, "Madam is doing well, thanks to having you here."

Mrs. Han wiped her eyes again with a silk handkerchief, and said: "It's a pity that no matter what I do, I can't get back the lives of Chun Hong and the child. Alas, I also know that she is the master's most beloved person, If it can be exchanged for the safety of her and the child, even if I lose ten years of life, I would be willing. It's a pity that good fortune tricks people..."

Hearing these words, Bai Muzhuang looked at Han Jieying with more gentle eyes, held her hand and said, "I, Bai Muzhuang, can have you as my wife. I am so lucky..."

On the second day, the snow fell even harder, and the weather became bitterly cold.The poor servants have to get up early in the morning to clear the snow and make a way for everyone.All of them hunched their necks and arched their backs, looking like shrimps.The small pond in the back garden has long since formed a frozen lake, smooth as a mirror.There are a lot of icicles on the rockery, which are strange in shape and not enough to see.

Second Sister You was lazy by nature, and there was no rule in the White House that concubines had to get up early to pay their respects to the wife, so she was even more relaxed, sleeping until after breakfast time before getting up.There are three charcoal pots burning in the house, making the whole house as warm as spring.She sat facing the mirror, combing her long black hair by herself.Huakai hurried in and out, instructing the little maids to bring breakfast.Not long after, the warm aroma of the millet porridge that had been boiled all night filled the room.

With a casual bun, Second Sister You walked slowly to the dining table and sat down, and said to Huakai: "There is such a heavy snow, and the road is very slippery, you don't have to go to the kitchen to eat, just follow me here Let's eat together."

Hua Kai responded with a smile when she heard the words, and sat down beside her.After serving the porridge and vegetables for Second Sister You, I also scooped up a bowl of porridge for myself, and ate it in small bites.The rule of not talking when eating or sleeping doesn't work for them. After eating a few mouthfuls, Second Sister You asked, "Is there any progress over there?"

Hua Kai swallowed the food in his mouth, and replied: "It's been a night of trouble, and the master and wife will rest in the morning! Fortunately, today is a holiday, otherwise the master would have to go to court after staying up all night, so he wouldn't be tired." broken."

Second Sister You picked up a piece of Sanxian Shaomai and brought it to her mouth, took a bite, and then said after eating, "Have you found out what's going on?"

"It was said that the cook was bad. She hated Chun Hong for accidentally preventing her daughter from being picked to serve by the eldest girl. That's why she did it." Hua Kai replied.

"Such a trivial matter is worth two lives?" Second Sister You said calmly, "I'm afraid the truth of the matter may not be so."

Hua Kai widened her eyes when she heard the words, and said in surprise, "Auntie means that the cook didn't do it?"

Second Sister You smiled without answering, and said, "After that, how did the cook deal with it?"

"It is said that the master got angry and asked her to pay for her life. He wanted to drag her out on the spot and beat her to death. However, she was persuaded by the madam. It was alarming to say that it was a big fanfare, so the master handed her over to her , she dealt with it quietly. What Madam said is not unreasonable, so the master agreed." Hua Kai sighed and said, "I'm afraid that the cook is dead at this time."

"That's not necessarily true." Second Sister You said.

Hua Kai asked: "What does Auntie mean?"

"Look at Madam's intention, she wants to save the cook's life. It seems that her heart is not dark yet..." Second Sister You said meaningfully.

"It's so dark..." Huakai frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly realized and said in shock: "What does Auntie mean, this thing, this thing was done by the madam?"

Second Sister You laughed and said, "Young children can be taught."

"Then, why did the cook plead guilty?" Hua Kai stammered.

Second Sister You said, "The cook is Madam's, she's just a scapegoat."

Hua Kai heard that she couldn't eat any more, put down the bowls and chopsticks, and said, "Why did Madam act like this? It's not like the master doesn't have concubine sons and daughters! Why just can't tolerate water shield..."

"Probably because Chunhong acted too freely and touched the madam's inverse scales." Second Sister You said: "I heard that before I entered the mansion, the master was actually twenty years old in one month. Sleeping in the red house. She dominates the master like this, how can the madam tolerate it? That's why I was brought up to sing against her. At that time, the madam probably didn't have the intention of killing her. But She was pregnant again, and this was the straw that broke the camel's back..."

"Is it because of this that you want to kill someone?" Hua Kaixin was pure-hearted, and had never experienced such a thing before, so she couldn't help but couldn't accept it for a while.After Second Sister You enlightened her a few words, she also let go.This kind of thing has to be thought out by the parties themselves.When you want to bloom, that is, when the flowers bloom and grow up.Sometimes, people don't grow up gradually, but grow up in an instant.

Growth will inevitably be accompanied by doubts and pain, and finally acceptance.Accept your own imperfections and accept the imperfections of the world.

Chunhong did not have a clear identity, so the funeral was extremely simple.In the end, they were not buried in the ancestral grave of the Bai family.Bai Muzhuang bought her an underground burial in a beautiful place outside the city, but it was only a few days, so there was no sorrow anymore.
