Nongmen Shenjue

When a group of fairies gather, it is natural to talk about the past and the present.

When mentioning the life in the Fairy Temple, I feel a lot of emotion. It is inevitable that some people think of the dead Sun Yuzhu.Everyone else knew that San Niangzi had a good relationship with Sun Yuzhu, so naturally they wouldn't say it in front of her, but Feng Xiuying wanted to stab her heart.

"Sister Yuzhu got a good marriage back then, how many people envied her, who knows that she couldn't think about it, what a pity." Feng Xiuying said so, her eyes swept towards the third lady, quite mockingly provocative.

The third lady suddenly became angry.

She didn't believe that Feng Xiuying didn't know about Sun Yuzhu, but she said so on purpose, and she wouldn't even let a dead person go.

"Yuzhu is unlucky. It can't be compared to Mrs. Xu. I heard that you have a pair of children. Why don't you show them to us? The children raised by your rich and noble families must be smarter than Yuxue. The mud monkeys of our poor families are better than you." No. By the way, how old is the child? Does it look like a father or a mother?"

The third lady talked like a cannonball, and the surroundings were quiet all of a sudden, only Feng Xiuying kept her face, but her hands tightly clutching the handkerchief gave away her emotions.

Someone immediately made a siege: "The children are young, and they are tired from traveling for days. It's time to take it easy. See you later when you are free."

"Yeah, we haven't seen each other for many years, so it's time to catch up. Sister Feng, the material of your clothes looks really nice. Are you from the south?"

The topic was changed, Feng Xiuying was flattered, and her complexion improved.

Mrs. Li quietly tugged on San Niangzi's sleeve: "Why bother to compete with her."

The third lady walked to the side, resentful: "I just don't like her hypocritical appearance. After all these years, her mouth is still so hateful, Yuzhu is dead..."

Mrs. Li sighed and didn't want to say much.

The luncheon was held in the garden, and the third lady regretted attending the banquet after listening to all kinds of hypocritical chatter and jokes.If you are in a bad mood, you will inevitably be greedy for drinks. Afraid of getting drunk, you drink a few more cups of strong tea and want to go to the toilet halfway.

He asked a little girl to lead the way and went to a corner of the garden.

Just after entering the latrine, I heard someone calling the little girl outside: "Are you serving at the banquet? Are you done with your wife?"

"Never. My wife is just in the right mood, I'm afraid it will take a while." The little girl replied, obviously knowing each other.

It sounded like the one who came was also a maidservant, a little older.Hearing this, she couldn't help complaining: "It's really unlucky. I was working in the house today, and the third grandma from the Tang family came, and she seemed to have something urgent to see his wife. Our wife's temperament is in the middle of her head, and she disturbed her. Don't take your anger out on me!"

Having said that, he stomped his feet to report.

The third grandma of the Tang family?

The third lady suddenly realized that Tang Youjun was the third son of the direct descendant, and the third grandma was referring to Tang Youjun's wife, Qian Shi.

Qian, Feng...

When the two got together, the third lady thought of the dead Sun Yuzhu again.

After coming out of the latrine, she didn't bother to go back to the banquet, so she just asked the little maid to tell Li Shi that she had to take a step first.After leaving the garden, he turned around for some reason and found a servant to inquire about Feng Xiuying's whereabouts.

"I have something to do first. Mrs. Xu is not at the table, so I have to say something." This was the excuse made by the third lady.

"Mrs. Xu is meeting guests in the back hall."

The back flower hall is in the garden, but it is separated from the banquet area by a rockery pond.There are two ways to go to the flower hall, either from the wooden bridge by the pond, or from the bottom of the east courtyard wall.A piece of green bamboo is planted on the side of the courtyard wall, and a winding path is paved with cobblestones, which can lead directly to the flower hall.

This was also before the banquet, Feng Xiuying led the crowd to enjoy the flowers and turned around the garden.

She avoided people's attention and walked through the bamboo forest. Seeing that the flower hall was close at hand, she couldn't get close.Feng Xiuying received guests in the flower hall, and there were several servant girls waiting outside the flower hall, some from the Xu family and some from the Tang family.If she goes out from the bamboo grove, there are only two bushes, which can't hide her at all, and she will definitely be discovered.

The third lady stopped hesitantly.

I can't tell what happened just now, like a ghost, what secrets can I spy on in other people's homes?

At the moment, the interest is fading, and I plan to leave.

As soon as she turned around, there was a sudden bang in the rear flower hall, as if someone had smashed the porcelain.The maids, big and small, looked at each other outside, but they didn't dare to go in rashly, they all stopped at the door.On the other hand, the two maidservants were more respectable and asked inside.

It just so happened that all the maids turned their backs to her, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The third lady moved faster than she thought, and when she regained her senses, she had already walked around to the side window of the flower hall.This flower hall was probably built for the purpose of escaping the summer heat. It is very spacious and has many large carved windows.The third lady glanced inward, only a little figure could be seen, but the voice was very clear.

"Missed for a while, sister Feng, don't mind." There was no sincerity in Qian's apologetic words, and she said with a half-smile: "I heard from my natal brother that this year's goods are late? Last month's goods are not available now. deliver?"

Feng Xiuying's voice was lower, but she didn't give in at all: "Sister Qian, our family's business affairs are all managed by men. I only take care of the house and take care of the children. It's useless for you to tell me about the outside affairs."

"Sister Feng, there's only you and me in this room, so there's no need to make such nonsense. Let me tell you, sister Seven will be back at the end of the month. I can wait here, but sister Seven can't wait."

Feng Xiuying didn't speak for a while before she said: "I have to ask my uncle."

"Don't keep me waiting." Mrs. Qian got up and walked out, thinking of something, stopped: "Sister Feng, you husband and wife are both smart people, don't do stupid things. Besides, this business has been discussed long ago Okay, let's play by the rules."

After waiting for Mrs. Qian to leave, Feng Xiuying was so angry that she smashed all the tea trays in the tray.

"Rules? Bullshit rules! Not enough greed! Too much bullying! Bitch! Shameless bastard!" Feng Xiuying was furious, and all kinds of country swearing came out.

The third lady didn't dare to stay any longer, seeing that the maids were attracted to her attention again, she hurriedly showed her traces deliberately, pretending that she just came from the bamboo forest path.

Immediately, a servant girl came up to ask her.

The third lady still used the previous excuse and said she wanted to say goodbye to Feng Xiuying.

"This... Madam is a little uncomfortable."

"Then I won't bother you, pass it on for me." The third lady was eager to leave quickly.

Leaving the house in a hurry, it was smooth in one breath.

Recalling the eavesdropping words in the flower hall, it seemed useless, it was just a business dispute.However, "Seventh Sister"?According to the internal ranking of the Tang family, the seventh younger sister refers to Tang Wanmei.Could it be that Tang Wanmei got involved in the business of the Xu family and the Qian family?Taking advantage of the power of the county prince's mansion?

Seeing that it was getting dark, Yu San stood at the gate of Caiyi Bureau several times and looked up and down, but he still couldn't see any familiar figure.

Mrs. Li stood at the door of her shop and raised her voice to ask: "Third brother, Alan hasn't come back yet?"

Yu San nodded anxiously: "I've searched all over the town, but no one has seen her. Could something happen? It's almost dark."

"Why don't you look for it?" Mrs. Li also became worried. The word "find" this time meant to find some people.

Mrs. Li came back after eating, and it was still noon at that time, she felt that it was boring to stay there, and the third lady left again, so she came back early by herself.Passing by the Caiyi Bureau, I was going to talk to San Niangzi by the way, but who knows that she is not there, Yu San said that she has not come back.

At that time, the two of them didn't think much about it. They knew that the third lady was in a bad mood recently, and it was broad daylight. Maybe she went to look elsewhere, or she was delayed talking to others.

In the middle of the afternoon, Yu San was a little worried, so he searched around, but couldn't find it.

In this way, I endured until this time, the sun has gone down, no matter what happens, people should come back.Yu San felt that something was wrong, and was afraid that San Niangzi would have an accident, but although the town is small, there are many mountains, and there are many outsiders, he cannot do it alone.Fortunately, they usually get along well with their neighbors, and they are willing to help anyone in trouble. They quickly gathered a dozen people and divided them into two parts.

Yu San, Mrs. Li and the others walked along the way of eating banquets during the day.

Wen Jixue left Feixian Town and would not be back until two or three days later, when Mu Qingyan took Jiao Li out for dinner, he happened to see the backs of Yu San and the others.Coupled with the discussions of people in the shops on the street, it was only then that San Niangzi had an accident.

Everyone thought something must have happened.

If San Niangzi really went somewhere, she shouldn't even leave a message.

Mu Qingyan paid attention until it was dark, and Yu San and the others came back.A group of people walked in a hurry, especially Yu San, who carried himself on his back, rushed directly into the medical hall.After I went in and asked, I found out that the person carrying it was San Niangzi, who was found in a ditch in the middle of the mountain. The ditch was full of weeds and thorns. people.

When the third lady was found, she was unconscious, with blood all over her head, but she was still alive.

Mu Qingyan inquired about the exact location of the accident, and brought Jiao Li to look for it.

From the conversations of the townspeople, he knew that the third lady was invited by Feng Xiuying to a banquet during the day, and the place where the banquet was held was the house in the middle of the mountain.The third lady left the banquet early, and all the servants in the house saw it.According to the normal route, she should go down the mountain along the road, but she found that the place where San Niangzi was located was on the upper right side of the house. The place was a bit out of the way, with many gullies, weeds and thorns. It was relatively deserted, and no one usually went there. .

Time went back to noon, and I saw that the third lady had left the house, and she was indeed going down the mountain.

But someone stopped her.

It was a servant girl who trotted up to catch up: "My lady, stay here, my wife has something to tell my lady."

The third lady frowned, although she was puzzled, she stopped.

Soon, Feng Xiuying appeared.

"Sister Sun, let's talk in another place." Feng Xiuying smiled, as if she was very kind.

The third lady became more and more suspicious: "What can't I say here?"

Feng Xiuying's smile deepened: "Sister Yuzhu's matter, it's not appropriate to talk about it here?"

Sun Yuzhu was San Niangzi's weakness, and immediately followed Feng Xiuying to a remote place.In broad daylight, the third lady had a lot of self-control, she didn't believe what the other party dared to do, and she could still run no matter how bad she was.

Feng Xiuying brought only one maid.

"What do you want to say?" The third lady asked directly.

Feng Xiuying stared at her, and suddenly asked: "Have you gone to the flower hall? Overheard me talking to Mrs. Qian?"

After all, San Niangzi was not from a deep city, she was suddenly questioned, her eyes flashed, her lips were pursed, nervous and guilty.However, she immediately suppressed her emotions and bluffed: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"No need to lie. We all know the relationship between you and me. It is reasonable for you to leave the meeting early, and I am quite surprised that you will even come to the meeting. So, you will go to say goodbye on purpose? I have seen the flower hall window Son, there are trampled footprints there, and no one has been there but you."

Because Feng Xiuying was in a fit of anger, the maid didn't report the visit of the third lady immediately, and only heard about it when Feng Xiuying called the maid to clean up the house.At that time, she felt strange, because the behavior of the third lady was unreasonable.

In the past few years in the Xu family, Feng Xiuying has always been careful, and she has to think of a few tricks for simple things, so this time she is naturally thinking carefully.She came out and saw that the third lady came from the bamboo forest path. The servant girl was careless and negligent. After walking around like this, she found the footprints under the window base.

Because flowers and trees are planted around, watering is required every day, and it is next to the base of the wall, avoiding light, and standing on the ground for a long time can still leave a faint mark.This mark is only half of the forefoot, so it can be seen that the focus is on the front half. If someone is lying by the window and padded their feet towards the house, it will be easy to understand.Normal people would never do this kind of thing, and no one would stick to the wall and walk.

The footprint of that foot was that of a woman.

Feng Xiuying is almost definitely the third lady!

She didn't know when he came and how much she heard. She told Qian Shi many secret things.Even if it is relatively obscure, but if the private matter is heard by the deadly enemy, can you be at peace?

"How about we make a deal?" Feng Xiuying spoke out again: "I'll tell you what happened before Sun Yuzhu's death, and you forget everything you heard today. How about it?"

The third lady didn't believe that Feng Xiuying would trust her, but she didn't investigate for the time being, but asked about Sun Yuzhu.

"You said."

"I know you blame me for Sun Yuzhu's affairs, but to be honest, I really can't blame me for her affairs. I quarreled with her and said some nasty things, but she is not so angry. Besides, She didn't run out the morning before the accident, she left the temple the night before, and I followed secretly.

Unexpectedly, she went to Feixiantai to meet someone, that is Tang Youjun!You said that she is really stupid, people don't want her anymore, and she is still pestering her like this.After the two of them talked, I found out that she had a secret knot in her womb, and she couldn't complain about being manipulated to death.I watched her knelt on the ground begging Tang Youjun, but Tang Youjun said that her parents and elders had to obey her marriage affairs, and she could not decide on her own.Tang Youjun also said that if she was asked to abort the child, the Tang family would make up for her with another marriage.

Later I learned from the Qian family that the Qian family knew about Sun Yuzhu.At first, because of the child, the Tang family wanted Sun Yuzhu to start as a concubine, but the Qian family disagreed.The Qian family said that their daughter cannot be wronged, so neither Sun Yuzhu nor the fetus can be kept, including the two housewarming girls beside Tang Youjun.People made inquiries clearly, but if the Tang family did anything wrong, the marriage would be dropped.

Waiting for Tang Youjun to leave, his mother came again, so he was worried that his son would follow.What his mother said was much worse, she wanted Sun Yuzhu to give birth immediately, and if she got sick again, she would voluntarily withdraw from the engagement on the grounds that the illness was difficult to support.If she doesn't listen, the news of her pregnancy will spread, and the dirty water won't be poured on Tang Youjun.

Do you understand what this means? "

The third lady was trembling with anger.

I can't blame Yuzhu for seeking death, the Tang family is so shameless, they don't talk about relatives at all, they obviously want to force Yuzhu to death!

"This is my real aunt!" The third lady couldn't imagine such a vicious person.

"The Tang family only looks glamorous, but they are actually just a bunch of greedy and despicable villains!" Feng Xiuying once admired Tang Youjun, and she was flattering and flattering to the Tang family, thinking that being able to enter the Tang family would be the best life.But when it comes to the Tang family now, it's hard to hide their hatred and hatred.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in those irrelevant things." The third lady left behind a word, turned around and left.

But she didn't see the malice flickering in Feng Xiuying's eyes.

Feng Xiuying picked up a stone, took two quick steps to catch up, and slammed it hard on the back of the third lady's head.

The third lady fell down with a muffled grunt.

Feng Xiuying was gasping for breath, she was also a little nervous, she looked around a few times, and beckoned to the servant girl.Together, the two dragged Feng Xiuying into the ditch, then tested the third lady's breathing, and found that she was still angry, grabbed the stone and smashed it again.When it was about to smash for the third time, there was a barking of dogs in the distance.

Feng Xiuying turned her head to look, and saw a big yellow dog rushing towards it, baring its teeth and growling.

"Ah!" Feng Xiuying and the servant girl were terrified, they threw a stone and ran away, for fear of being bitten by a dog.

As soon as the two of them ran away, the dog became more and more attracted and chased after them fiercely.

Feng Xiuying was used to being pampered, and on the way down the mountain again, she fell down without noticing, the whole body rolled, and stopped when she hit a tree.Although the person didn't faint, he was frightened and terrified. After rolling so many times, his mind became dizzy and his body felt sore.

Seeing that the dog was about to rush over, the servant girl screamed and hugged Feng Xiuying tightly.

"Rhubarb, come back!" a man shouted sharply.

The big dog stopped and looked at the master and servant, wagging their tails and returning to the master.

The man stood far away and saw his dog chasing him, but he didn't intend to apologize or make compensation, so he took the dog and left.

Feng Xiuying didn't care about whether the third lady was dead or not. With the help of her maid, she went back in a mess, and asked the doctor after lying on the bed.

Mu Qingyan noticed that the big dog wanted to hide in San Niangzi's ditch several times, but the dog's owner thought the big dog was still trying to make trouble, so he yelled and forcibly took it away.Anyway, it was the appearance of this dog that saved San Niangzi's life.

Regarding the matter of the third lady eavesdropping, after thinking about it for a while, it has something to do with Mu Qingyan.

If he hadn't brought up the old story again, San Niangzi would not be sensitive, let alone do such a dangerous and impolite thing.

But she didn't know what secret she heard that made Feng Xiuying dare to kill people in broad daylight?

In addition, Feng Xiuying was chased by a dog and injured in embarrassment, but she didn't settle the score with the dog's owner, probably because she was afraid of exposing the matter of the third lady.

Mu Qingyan deliberately walked around the side of the house, and let Jiao Li sneak in for a while.

Feng Xiuying is the hostess, so people will naturally talk about it when something goes wrong.Sure enough, Feng Xiuying only said that she slipped and fell when going down the mountain, and didn't mention the dog at all, so she just suffered from being dumb.Now people are lying on the bed, recovering from their injuries, and they may hold back their anger in their hearts.

Waiting to return to the town, Yu San had already brought San Niangzi back home.

The third lady was seriously injured. After wiping off the blood on her head, she found two wounds, which were obviously caused by a blow.The wound was treated and the medicine was applied, but the person did not wake up. The doctor was not sure whether it was all right or not.Usually, in this case, you have to prepare for the worst.

Yu San, a grown man, wept bitterly.

If it wasn't for the fact that it was already dark, he would have reported to the police.

However, there is a security chief in the town, who patrols the security every night. Although Feixian Town has a large population of foreigners, there may be petty theft, and there are very few vicious incidents of wounding and killing.San Niangzi is not only the proprietress of the Caiyi Bureau, but also a fairy girl who had an accident on a nearby mountain. Since San Niangzi has always been popular and has no enemies, people think about themselves, so it is inevitable that everyone will be in danger.

The security chief heard the news and came to understand the whole story, and began to check suspicious persons from house to house that night.

Mu Qingyan can't tell the truth either, mainly because the Xu family has a special status, and the town is basically controlled by Tang and Lou. If he mentions Feng Xiuying rashly, let alone how this matter will evolve, the purpose of his trip will be thwarted. .

There is no rush.

Back at the inn, after thinking about it, I told Jiao Li: "Look, go to Yu's house and ask Yu San what he needs. Just say that the third lady has helped me, and I want to express my gratitude. If the third lady needs anything Medicine, or a good doctor, I can help."

Injury to the head is indeed very dangerous. If one remains in a coma, according to the current medical skills, the person will soon be unable to hold on.

Jiao Li was a little worried: "The young master..."

"I won't go out." Although Mu Qingyan didn't think that something would happen, he was more cautious.

Jiao Li knew that he would do what he said, so he left with confidence.

Mu Qingyan analyzed Feng Xiuying's actions and her fierce response to being secretly spied on.What secret can she have with Qian Shi?But from another perspective, if it is the husband's family of the two of them, it will be different.Xu Shaoyang was quick to find his way, the Qian family, or the Tang family, it was the same.

He also remembered that Xu Shaoyang had anonymously commissioned him, and he didn't care about it at the time, but now he is a little interested.

What is so important?But he didn't dare to say it out loud.

Could it be related to what Xu Shaoyang did in private?

While thinking about it, I suddenly heard movement outside the window.

The inn is a "back" structure, with a building in the front, a building in the back, a courtyard in the middle, and kitchen stables on the left and right.He lives on the second floor of the last building, and the back wall is also the courtyard wall, so the back alley is outside the back window, and there is no excuse for being naked, so it shouldn't be...

Is there a thief?

The town is conducting an inspection tonight. Although it is certain that the "real culprit" who murdered San Niangzi will not be found, it may not be possible to alert other Xiao Xiaoxiao.

Thinking of this, Mu Qingyan took out the dagger from under the pillow, removed the scabbard, and revealed the cold blade.

The windows are open, and the night breeze is blowing, which is relatively cool.

Only a few bangs were heard, and finally a wooden stick as long as an arm was thrown in, with a rope tied in the middle of the stick, and when the force was withdrawn from the outside, the stick just happened to be stuck in the window.This is a completely homemade flying claw!

Hearing the sound of climbing, a face appeared.
