Brocade clothing

Chapter 273
Mrs. Liu hummed softly: "Go, bring me the apricot-yellow skirt that I brought after I got married."

Mammy said worriedly: "But if it's cold today, Ma'am, your body..."

Mrs. Liu waved her hand: "Go as soon as you are told, don't talk nonsense. After you get it, tell all the servants to go back. No matter what you hear, don't come to the main wing." Because the weather is still cold at this time, the room The inside is dyed with silver charcoal, and the incense burner in the corner is burning with spices, but it is so stuffy that people can't breathe.

Anxiety flashed across Mammy's eyes, and she knelt down: "Madam, let the old slave stay here, at least I have someone to take care of me!"

Mrs. Liu looked at her quietly: "What? Is what I said no longer effective?" After she finished speaking, she began to cough again, and Mammy's face changed, and she dared not say anything else. I got up and went to find clothes with red eyes.

It's just that so many years have passed, and the dress is already a very old style, but because it is well maintained, the color is still bright. The nanny walked over holding it, and when she came close, she couldn't help but shed tears. Tears fell from her head and she knelt on the ground, "Ma'am...you must take care of yourself."

Madam Liu lowered her eyes, looked at the dress, and sighed softly, "Please wait for me to change."

After changing into this dress, Mammy found that Mrs. Liu was even lighter than when she was married back then. She had grown back a little in the past few days, but what?

Mrs. Liu was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, calculating that the time would be almost there, she waved her hand: "Go down."

Mammy seemed to say something, but Mrs. Liu's sharp gaze in the bronze mirror on the other side couldn't say anything.

Madam Liu waited for the room to regain calm again, then picked up the comb and combed her hair slowly. After an unknown amount of time, the door outside the screen rang. Madam Liu sat still, looking at the woman in the bronze mirror. Because of eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddha in Nian, her face has no expression, only a pessimistic and compassionate kindness is left, but only she knows how much hatred and resentment she has in her heart. The blood on her hands these years probably The number is countless, but she has never regretted it.

Not long after, there were footsteps behind him. Uncle Liu Guo gradually appeared in the bronze mirror, with a dark face, and his whole body was in a state of rage and gloomy. When others looked at Uncle Liu like this, they would have been too frightened for a long time. But Mrs. Liu didn't seem to see it, she turned around slowly, raised her eyes, and looked at Uncle Liu Guo, who had a dark complexion: "Master, you are here." Her voice was like a comment, slow, but With a trace of nostalgia.

Uncle Liu Guojiu's originally extremely resentful eyes fell on Mrs. Liu, he was slightly stunned for a moment, frowning as he looked at the apricot-yellow skirt on her body, which made her skin more fair, his eyes flickered , but couldn't help but look cold: "You are the one who asked Yu Xiaochu to kill Chen'er?"

Mrs. Liu sat there, laughing: "Master's words are wrong. What do you mean I asked Yu Xiaochu to kill her? It is clear that she committed the death herself, bought the murderer, and later assassinated the court official to kill herself. How could it be that I am a murderer in the mouth of the master?"

Uncle Liu Guo was so angry that his chest heaved violently: "Your maid has already said that you were the one who went to find someone to tease Chi Luan. If not, how could Chi Luan think of insulting Chen'er? If Chi Luan didn't do that, what would Chen'er do?" Would you pay someone to kill someone?"

Madam Liu looked at the irritable Uncle Liu Guo expressionlessly: "Then, Master wants me to watch her ruin Master Yu?"

Uncle Liu Guo was speechless for a long time, and finally said angrily: "Chen'er is your daughter, how can you be so cruel, a mother?!"

After hearing his words, Mrs. Liu smiled mockingly: "Master, if you say this, you are not afraid of getting angry. Is she my child? Wasn't my child killed by you a long time ago? "

Uncle Liu Guo was shocked, and looked at her madly with anger: "How many times do you have to let the old man say it, it's an accident! An accident!"

Mrs. Liu smiled mockingly: "Oh, it was an accident." But she didn't believe a word.

Uncle Liu Guo also understood the meaning in Madam Liu's eyes, and gritted his teeth: "Why did you do this?"

Mrs. Liu lowered her eyes, and after a long time, she slowly said: "It's nothing, I just can't see how similar your family is, and I... can only be with the Buddhist hall so often, as I said back then," she raised her head and looked Seeing Uncle Liu Guo's changed expression, he said word by word: "I'm not doing well, and it will definitely ruin your family, and cut off your children and grandchildren."

Uncle Liu Guo took a deep breath, walked quickly a few steps in anger, raised his hand suddenly, and slapped him across the face: "Bastard!"

Mrs. Liu was weak, she was overturned on the ground, tilted her head, and spit out a mouthful of blood. Uncle Liu probably didn't expect that he would be so ruthless, his eyes flickered, and he wanted to reach out to help her, but he thought that this woman would be so ruthless. He did so many things that he didn't know without his own knowledge. He gritted his teeth and watched the other party stand up slowly, staggering as if he would fall down the next moment.

Mrs. Liu raised her head, took the veil and wiped away the blood stains from the corner of her mouth: "Why, you look very angry, are you going to kill me? Kill me, and you can bring in all your outer rooms gone."

Uncle Liu Guo was so angry that he raised his head again, but seeing the blood dripping from the corner of the opponent's mouth, he didn't wave it any further: "You...you can do it yourself!"

Uncle Liu flicked his sleeves and was about to leave, but at this moment, Mrs. Liu's very soft voice came from behind: "Back then, do you remember what you said when you went to Xiao's house to ask me to marry you?"

Uncle Liu's footsteps stopped suddenly, and the hand stroking the door frame didn't move for a long time. He gritted his teeth: "I've forgotten it a long time ago!"

"Really?" Madam Liu murmured, looking at Uncle Liu's receding figure, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, as if nostalgic, but also as if she was laughing at herself: "... But I still remember, you said you and Others are different, you said that you would take me to see thousands of mountains and rivers, enjoy thousands of miles of peach blossoms, you will make my children and grandchildren happy forever... But, you didn't do a single word. You... a liar..."

Mrs. Liu covered her mouth and coughed suddenly, her face was getting whiter and paler, showing a sickly dead blue, where there was no trace of rosiness before, as if she had aged day and night, she spat out a mouthful of blood, and leaned on the door frame , slid on the ground, looked at one place, and fell down slowly.

Because Mrs. Liu had ordered that no one should go to the main wing if they heard the noise, so she waited until midnight. After all, the worried nanny went to take a sneak peek, but as soon as she passed, she saw Mrs. Liu who was already cold all over.

Mammy was terrified, and screams suddenly rang out, piercing the silent night sky of the Liu Mansion: "Ah—come quickly!"

In the study room on the other side, Liu Guoshu, who had been there since he left, was standing in a hidden compartment wiping a memorial tablet, when suddenly there was chaos outside, followed by the butler's messy footsteps, patting the door frame outside: "The master has an accident. There is a big accident in the main courtyard. You should go and have a look..."

For some reason, Liu Guoshu's heart skipped a beat. The tablet he was holding tightly in his hand almost slipped to the ground. He hugged it, and then put the tablet back. There were only a few words on it: the spiritual tablet of my son Liu Nianxin.

He settled down, thinking that he was thinking too much, he closed the secret compartment, walked over to open the door, his face was extremely ugly: "What's the matter?"

But the housekeeper's face turned pale with fright: "Master...you should go and have a look, Madam, she's afraid...to die..."

Uncle Liu Guo froze all of a sudden, and it took a long time before he tugged on the butler's lapel: "What did you say?!"

It was the second day that Chu Qing got the news of the Liu family's accident. After she said goodbye to Mrs. Liu, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Mrs. Liu's last words were not very right. When Li Tianxiao came over to tell her the news, she was very surprised: "You said Mrs. Liu was dying of illness? But I saw her before..."

Yu Kuifeng said: "Probably because of force, this Mrs. Liu is also a ruthless character. I heard that after Uncle Liu knew that Liu Chenyue did it on purpose, when he went to find her, she wore Uncle Liu's clothes." The clothes in the color I like the most. Speaking of which, Uncle Liu and Mrs. Liu were really an enviable pair back then, but later... after hearing that Mrs. Liu had a miscarriage, Uncle Liu suddenly brought Liu Deqian back and said it was his. Son, when Mrs. Liu was about to be raised as a son, the two of them seemed to be falling apart..."

Chu Qing couldn't help but said: "How do you know?" Calculated according to his age, was he born at that time?
Yu Kuifeng said: "I don't know, but some people know. There are various versions in the market, but it is more said that Uncle Liu Guo was afraid that Mrs. Liu would not treat his illegitimate child well, so he made it on purpose. Lost Madam Liu's child. However, Madam Liu has not shown much in these years, she is quite magnanimous. Later, I heard that she gave birth to another daughter, Liu Chenyue. At first we thought Liu Chenyue was really Mrs. Liu gave birth, I didn't expect, this is not true, Mrs. Liu could not give birth a long time ago."

Chu Qing thought of the small Buddhist hall in Liu's residence, and had a headache: "What's wrong with Mrs. Liu?"

Yu Kuifeng said: "I didn't find out, it's probably more serious. I heard that I have been vomiting blood, and I can't stop it. In addition, I seemed to be frozen last night. I haven't woken up yet. I have already invited several imperial doctors to the palace. , My brother has already been invited over, I guess... I don’t know if I can make it through."

Chu Qing thought to herself, it seems that Mrs. Liu knew that her time was short, so she made all the calculations. When she thought of what Mrs. Liu did, she didn't know whether to sympathize with the other party or those who were killed by her. of innocent lives.

Li Tianxiao probably sensed that she was in a bad mood, and comforted him, "Since this is her own choice, don't worry about it too much, everyone has their own destiny."

Chu Qing knew it, but she still couldn't help feeling that for Mrs. Liu, she lost hope a long time ago and felt that life was meaningless.
