The character design of the Flower of the High Ridge has collapsed

Chapter 13
Poinsettia smiled evilly: "Little junior sister, it is not advisable to carelessly underestimate the enemy."

There was surprise in Jiang Youzhi's eyes: "Senior brother!"

But looking at his lively appearance, he couldn't help asking: "Aren't you seriously injured and will die soon?"

These days, the capital doesn't like him, who was appointed by Emperor Wen of Zhou to be the first-rank Taibao and the supervisor of the Qintian Supervisor. Hearing that he won't be cured for a long time, he almost set off firecrackers in the streets and alleys to celebrate.

Poinsettia waved a finger left and right: "It's just a gimmick, I heard that you went to Dali Temple, little junior sister."

Jiang Youzhi nodded: "My blind cat ran into a dead mouse, and the corpse dumping on the river beach and the prisoner's resentment were all done by one person."

Poinsettia put away the folding fan: "You think the murderer's well-designed wound is very man-made, it must be a doctor or a butcher."

Jiang Youzhi nodded when he heard this.

"This is the cleverness of the murderer. Through the extreme design of the knife edge, people mistakenly believe that he has a morbid hobby for cutting wounds."

Hearing this, Jiang Youzhi was a little confused.

"The point is that the murderer attached great importance to the abdomen of the corpse. If there were no stones, it might be a coincidence, but it would not be a coincidence if the stone was engraved with a talisman."

Only then did Jiang Youzhi suddenly realize: "That's right, the corpse's lower limbs are severely swollen. Although soaked in water, it should be the same as the upper body. Then, it is pregnant."

Poinsettia took out a Dao Talisman from her sleeve and handed it to her: "Little Junior Sister is really smart."

After the person left, Jiang Youzhi was holding an unknown Dao talisman, which she had never seen before, and every stroke and every stroke was weird.

In the next few days, the entire Pei Mansion was busy.

The reason was that Mrs. Pei was about to return home. The old lady fell ill a year ago and sought out famous doctors, but the treatment did not improve after a long time. So Emperor Zhou Wen found a house for the old man in the south of the Yangtze River.

It didn't take half a year before I got sick. I wanted to go back to my home on the third day of next month, but I didn't know why the date was brought forward.

When this day came, all the maids and servants in the mansion stood inside the gate of the mansion, waiting to tidy up.

Prime Minister Pei even stood on the steps of the mansion gate, looking forward to it.

The pear-wood carriage carved with golden begonias came to a stop, and a group of maidservants in moon-white short coats, water green and armor held their breath, and stood with their hands down.

Four maidservants came straight down from the carriage, and invited the old lady out. She was dressed in a dark blue silk jacket with dark flowers, riches, honor and double happiness. Luxurious and eye-catching.

The Yingying and Yanyan who surrounded the old lady were by no means from a poor family, they were all like flowers and brocades, the bracelets on their wrists jingled when they walked, and their manners were generous, as if they were brought up by the rules of young ladies.

Prime Minister Li stepped forward and said respectfully, "My son has seen his mother."

Although the old lady's face was quite majestic, she hadn't seen her son for half a year, she helped him up with a kind smile: "Okay, okay, let's go home first."

In the second carriage, a beautiful woman dressed in Dai Cui came down, followed by two girls who looked like young ladies, no more than fourteen or five years old.

After entering the hall, the old lady chatted with her son enthusiastically for a while, then Prime Minister Li was called away by a guard because of his busy schedule.

Standing behind Mrs. Shen, Jiang Youzhi realized that Mrs. Pei had been indifferent to Mrs. Shen since she entered the mansion.

The old lady took a sip of tea and said to Mrs. Shen: "I'm not here these days, it's hard work for you to take care of the family."

What she said was not enthusiastic, but somewhat serious, Mrs. Shen was still respectful: "Mother loves you, this is what a concubine should do."

Suddenly, a childish voice came: "I heard that two months ago, there were servants in the house who were assigned to the house for less than a month, and they made trouble at Daddy's place, and almost stabbed Daddy!"

This is Pei Yuyun, the third young lady of Aunt Su's sect. She was originally a daughter of the outer room. After the death of her biological mother, she has been raised by Aunt Su.

Aunt Su on the side quickly touched her arm lightly: "Yuyun, don't be presumptuous!"

Then he said to the old lady: "Old lady, it is my concubine who is not good at teaching, please don't punish Yuyun."

The old lady was obviously displeased when she heard this: "This girl really has no rules, she should learn from Yuzhi."

Second Miss Pei Yuzhi is gentle and generous: "Grandmother, Yuzhi will help my sister."

Mrs. Pei nodded in relief. She loves this granddaughter the most, and she does things transparently.

Jiang Youzhi was silently looking at Aunt Su at the moment, this woman obviously did it on purpose.

I heard that Aunt Su came from a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, and her family became the richest man in the Zhou Dynasty with the help of a cloth shop. After getting married to the Pei family, she even used money to buy an official position for her younger brother.

In the 15th year of Shunde, it coincided with the Battle of Yingmen. His younger brother made a contribution in escorting Emperor Wen of Zhou.

Aunt Su brought in a sandalwood box. After opening it, she got up and handed it to Mrs. Shen: "Madam, I personally chose this bracelet for you. I hope you don't dislike it."

It was a fine white jade bracelet, but Mrs. Shen suddenly changed her face. Aunt Su turned a blind eye to it and handed her the sandalwood box involuntarily.

"This white jade supports people, coupled with the eldest lady Konggu Youlan, it is really a perfect match."

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Shen couldn't refuse, but she just thanked her with a little embarrassment: "Then I would like to thank my sister for her kindness."

Jiang Youzhi looked at Mrs. Shen's unnatural appearance, and felt a little angry at Aunt Su from the bottom of her heart.

The reason is that Mrs. Shen's elder brother was investigated for embezzlement a few years ago. At that time, a cellar full of raw white jade stones was found. Aunt Su was obviously deliberately exposing Mrs. Shen's wounds.

Aunt Su didn't seem to intend to let Mrs. Shen go easily, so she acted unintentionally: "In the past six months since I went to the south of the Yangtze River, there have been twenty letters from Ji Lang every month. I'm really afraid that he won't be able to concentrate on government affairs, so that he won't be able to sleep day and night. .”

Mrs. Shen's eyes added a trace of loneliness: "Master treats my sister with deep affection, which is touching."

After the pleasant exchange of greetings was over, Jiang Youzhi helped Mrs. Shen out of the hall.

Mrs. Shen is a virtuous person, she does not fight or grab, and treats herself very well, she cannot swallow this breath in her heart.

Then he said to Mrs. Shen: "Ma'am, that white jade bracelet just now is really natural and beautiful, can you borrow a twig to see it?"

Mrs. Shen smiled softly: "Look."

Jiang Youzhi happily opened the sandalwood box, and caressed the bracelet carefully.

The nanny beside Mrs. Pei passed by, Jiang Youzhi heard the sound of approaching footsteps, a cunning flashed in his eyes, and suddenly he let out an "ah".

There were blood beads oozing from her fingers, Mrs. Shen asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Youzhi smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing, I broke my hand somewhere."

Seeing such a scene, the old mother felt a little skeptical, so she said to Mrs. Shen: "Mrs., this white jade bracelet is of perfect color, can I feast my eyes on this old servant?"

Mrs. Shen readily agreed, and ordered Jiang Youzhi to hand the bracelet to the nanny.

Mammy took the bracelet and turned it around slightly. When she saw the objects on the inner wall, her eyes suddenly tightened.
