The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 791 Seventh Brother
Brother Qi did not wait for that day.

Three months later, on his way to escort a bodyguard, he was surrounded by hundreds of bandits and died with a sword through his heart.

No one knew that the day before Seventh Brother died, she went to Seventh Sister-in-law's room to talk and saw that Seventh Sister-in-law had made a new flower dress. The dress was so beautiful, with flowers embroidered on it.

Sister-in-law Qi saw that she couldn't look away, so she encouraged her to try it on and took off her human skin mask.

When she saw herself in the mirror, she was so beautiful that she woke up laughing from her dreams at night.

The fortune teller was not lying. If she were a woman, the Han family would suffer a bloody disaster.

Seventh Brother is dead.

She was the one responsible for his death, leaving behind his seventh sister-in-law and a nephew who had just turned three years old.

She personally carried him home, placed him on the door panel, wiped off the blood stains on his body bit by bit, and put on clean clothes.

My father lost his son in middle age and was devastated. He didn't pay much attention to the affairs in the castle. It was at that time that the chaos was laid.

She should have killed herself with a knife, but Sister-in-law Seven said, if you die, who can we orphans and widowed mothers rely on?

She didn't dare to die.

The person who escorts the escort will leave a message to his family before each escort trip.

What Seventh Brother said that day was no different from before——

Twelve, I will leave the house to you. Take good care of it and I will be back soon.

She couldn't wait until Brother Seven came back;
She turned herself into Brother Seven.

He took care of his seventh sister-in-law and his nephew, became his father's right-hand man, and finally became the new head of the Han family after his father died.

She could no longer tell whether she was a man or a woman. She didn't even want to see the face under the human skin mask.

Every glance reminds her: you are a sinner.

Fast forward three years, and the Han family is flourishing under her hands;

Every New Year's Eve sacrifice, she would look at the memorial tablet of Brother Qi and say in her heart: Brother Qi, don't worry, I'm not in trouble.

But at the age of 22, in the eyes of outsiders, she always has to start a family and start a career. She can't have a family, so she can only hide away for a while.

"If it doesn't work out, just marry me. As for the child..."

Li Buyan thought for a while, "Anyway, your nephew is getting older, and the Han family's business will always be handed over to him in the future. You can fool him by saying that I can't have children."

Han Xu glanced at her: "Just now at the dinner table, Mr. Pei looked at you in an unusual way."

Li Buyan hummed: "It's just your sharp eyes."

"Just after you left, the steward of the Pei family came."

Yan Sanhe: "The Pei family helped Mr. Pei find a match."

Li Buyan raised an eyebrow: "Yan Sanhe, are you planning to be a matchmaker?"

"No, I'm just telling you."

"Don't tell me."

Li Buyan's voice suddenly dropped.

"Life is short, and you can be wronged in anything, but the heart cannot be wronged. If one day, Pei Xiao can make me think about him in the morning and at night, I will not care about anything, I will only hold him tightly in the palm of my hand."

"That's beautiful!"

A rare smile appeared in Han Xu's eyes for a thousand years, "Yan Sanhe, you lose this game."

Yan Sanhe: "..."

Little Master Pei, I can only help you so far.

……

The arrival of Han Xu made the atmosphere in the other courtyard not only gloomy, but also a little more subtle.

The subtlety lies in his relationship with Li Buyan.

When Li Buyan took a walk, he followed behind; when Li Buyan practiced martial arts, he helped him with moves; when Li Buyan cooked, he stoked the fire in the kitchen.

Featured a companion.

And Li Buyan often showed the charming look of a little woman in front of Han Xu.

Little Master Pei became visibly silent.

He often stood motionless in his yard for half a day, listening to the bustle across the wall.

Xie Zhifei didn't dare to look at the emotion in his eyes, so he silently prepared a few jars of good wine to drink with him at any time.Unexpectedly, after waiting for a few days, Pei Xiao didn't get drunk, but instead he said -

Things in the Zheng family can't just be like this. Go talk to Yan Sanhe and find a way to set up a trap to catch the killer.

Xie Zhifei looked at his slightly pointed chin and nodded silently.

But it's not that easy to set up a trap. Yan Sanhe and Xie Zhifei studied in the study for several days, but they couldn't come up with a way.

While the other courtyard was in desperate situation, all the generals and soldiers from the Ministry of War to the three major battalions were in dire straits.

What is a war horse?
Just like food, they are all national.

Bu Liu got angry and the corners of his tongue and mouth were ulcerated.

According to the late emperor's plan, he should lead the troops north to attack the Tatars at this time.

Now that I can't move, the delay of the fighter plane is a trivial matter. If the Tatars get a glimpse of the truth, the consequences are really unimaginable.

For three days in a row, Prince Zhao Yishi was called to the imperial study by the new emperor for questioning.

The most serious incident was when the furious new emperor directly smashed the memorial.

The cover page of the memorial passed across the corner of his eyes, leaving a long red mark. On the early summer day, Zhao Yishi's heart grew colder little by little, and it was so cold that he felt stiff to the bone.

No one would have thought that on the official road at this moment, there was someone who had been traveling through thick and thin, eager to return home, and had already killed three horses in a row.

No one could have expected that with his return, there would be no peace in Sijiu City.

……

The first year of Taikang, April 28.

Less than five o'clock.

There was a knock on the door of the other courtyard.

Zhu Qing waited for a while outside the door. Seeing that no one opened the door, he simply jumped up, climbed over the high wall, and went straight to the inner house.

After a while, everyone in their sleep heard a shout:
"Miss Yan, Third Master, Little Master Pei, I'm back, things are clear."

The lights in the wing suddenly turned on, and Li Buyan walked out with a lantern. At first glance, he didn't recognize the person in front of him was Zhu Qing.

I saw that he had a sloppy beard, his mouth was full of gashes blown by the wind, his clothes were in tatters, and he looked like he had emerged from the soil.

"I'll get you hot water and food right now."

"Miss Li, don't be busy, just give me a drink of water."

Zhu Qing's voice was hoarse as soon as she opened her mouth, "The matter is urgent, I must tell Miss Yan immediately."

"I am here."

Yan Sanhe put on his clothes and walked out, "Stop saying anything, light the lamp in the study, boil water to make tea, and ask Tangyuan to go to the kitchen to get something to eat."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Zhifei and Pei Xiao rushed over one after the other, followed by Ding Yi and Huang Qi who were supporting each other.

Xie Zhifei felt extremely distressed when he saw Zhu Qing's appearance, and gently pinched the back of his neck with his hand, "Thank you for your hard work."

Zhu Qing glanced at Ding Yi and Huang Qi, and knew that a lot of things must have happened during his absence.

"Master, let's get down to business."

"go!"

……

Entering the study, Zhu Qing didn't have time to wait for the water to boil. He directly picked up the cold tea that had been left overnight in the teapot and drank a few sips.

Putting down the teapot, he took out a jade ring from his arms and put it on the desk.

Everyone looked hesitant.

Xie Zhifei: "What's wrong with this finger ring?"

Zhu Qing: "Third Master, Miss Yan, look carefully at the carvings on this ring finger."

Xie Zhifei picked up the ring finger, looked at it for a few times, but didn't see anything interesting, so he quickly handed it to Yan Sanhe.

Yan Sanhe felt that the carvings on it looked familiar, but couldn't remember where he had seen them before, so he couldn't help but look up at Zhu Qing.

"Miss Yan forgot, Beicang River."

Beicang River?
Yan Sanhe suddenly changed his expression: "The carvings on this are kapok."
