Zhe Jinchun

Chapter 132

This small courtyard, just like the room that A Lie just left, is so quiet that it seems to be far away from the world.

But Ariel knew very well that after leaving this small courtyard, he turned around a few corridors and small paths, and he would see the bright lights in this vast mansion. Next to the candlelight time and time again, it is brighter than the stars in the sky.

He looked back at the end of the path.

What unfolded in front of his eyes was endless darkness. The candles and charcoal fires in the small courtyard had all been extinguished, and he could barely make out the outlines of the courtyard and the eaves with his eyesight beyond ordinary people.

The world in that person's eyes should be like this.

There is no light to be seen, only silence and eternal night.

Ariel lowered his eyebrows, turned around and looked at the bright lights in front of him, his lonely back was like falling dead leaves, he jumped up suddenly, and disappeared into the night like a light smoke...

****************
Before the end of the first month, the east wind has already brought warmth, giving birth to willows and green branches, and looking left and right, it is like a beauty full of flowers.

However, this season of early spring in Qingzhou City was a bit lackluster, and even the Taomujian outside Yunzhou City did not see the brilliance of Tuanfeijuxia.

Although the east wind is affectionate, it is annoyed that the rain comes late and the sky is always cloudy, so the flowers don't bloom happily, there are only sporadic clusters here and there, and it doesn't make a difference at all.

In the Qin family's courtyard, it was also silent and gloomy.

The east wind is passing through, and the spring is like a dream, but the closed door of the Qin family blocks this time from the door.The plum blossoms in the mansion have all bloomed, the vegetation has not yet grown, and the spring breeze carries moisture and warmth, lingering on the stone steps or corners of the eaves, and then turning away in a daze.

Mrs. Wu's gray hair seemed to be taken care of by the east wind in early spring, and it turned into snow overnight.

What she was most worried about finally happened.

Zuo Sikuang's eldest son, Zuo Yunxuan, was riding a horse a few days ago, but the horse suddenly went crazy. Zuo Yunxuan fell off the horse and broke his leg.It is said that if the broken leg does not recover well, it is likely to become crippled.

Now Qin Shifang is thinking about raising the second son Zuo Yunfei under his knees. As for the eldest son who is about to be disabled, if he can't raise him back after a year, he can only change his status as a concubine.

"Why can't she bear it any longer?" Mrs. Wu beat the couch vigorously, with anxiety and lament on her face, but more regret, "How can things be done in such a hurry? What should I do?" The more she spoke, the more anxious she became, and there were several deep lines on her forehead and the corners of her lips, making her look more and more aging.

The wind blowing from Dongxuan Pavilion is slightly warm, but whenever Qin Shifang thinks of all the dangers around her, her heart feels as if she is sinking in ice water, without any warmth.

"Ma'am, don't get distracted. This matter won't affect my aunt for the time being." Jiang Yu's soft voice came over. As she spoke, she went forward and continued drinking in Mrs. Wu's teacup. Some water, speaking in a calm voice: "Think about it, there are more than one or two children in the house, and it is not the same who is raised by the aunt? Thinking about it this way, everyone will think It was those few who did it, but my aunt was very clear about it."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wu's expression did not relax, her brows and eyes were still heavy.

What Jiang Ru said is correct, but all of this can only be established on the premise that Qin Shifang can do things cleanly.

Zuo Sikuang was not easy to fool, not to mention, Mrs. Wu was always worried that the person who administered the medicine was related to the Zuo family.

"If the Zuo family took aim at my aunt all of a sudden, it wouldn't be a bad thing." Jiang Yu seemed to see into her heart, and said in a timely manner.

Madam Wu raised her eyes, stared at her blankly and asked, "Why?"

Her expression was quite bewildered, obviously she really didn't understand what she meant.

When Jiang Yu saw it, she felt a little sour in her heart.

The so-called concern leads to chaos, she has always known how shrewd Mrs. Wu is.However, as she got older, Madam's mood was not as good as before, especially when she encountered something related to Qin Shifang, her reaction was slower than usual.

Suppressing the worries in her stomach, Jiang Yu reminded her softly: "If you take aim at the aunt when you come here, it means that the Zuo family has ghosts in their hearts."

Compared with the five or six concubines in the Zuo family, Qin Shifang was the least suspect, even a victim.If someone still suspects her under such circumstances, it means that that person at least knows about Qin Shifang being poisoned.

This sentence was like enlightenment, Mrs. Wu understood it all at once, and there was brilliance in her eyes, she said repeatedly: "Exactly, exactly, why didn't I think of it? Sure enough, you are right. This matter From the perspective of outsiders, it can only be caused by those concubines, and only those who know the inside story will suspect Ah Fang."

As she spoke, her face was relieved, the wrinkles on her forehead and the corners of her lips subsided, and a slight smile appeared on her indifferent face: "I heard that the old lady of the Zuo family just killed a concubine in the courtyard. Your maid, you know that my daughter is safe."

Jiang Yu nodded yes, and said with a smile: "The aunt is actually very smart, and she is always invincible with this trick."

Mrs. Wu nodded with a smile, and turned her gaze to the Boshan furnace.

The incense seals in the furnace exhaled green smoke, and waved a wisp of fragrance that seemed to be absent into the east wind blowing on the face.

The wind picked up a little bit, mighty like a banner, passing all the way from Dongxuan Pavilion, passing through the cold and silent gates of the Qin Mansion, swaggering in Qingzhou City, blowing the vegetation all over the city into a new green.

Qin Shifang looked away from the bronze sparrow incense burner, but out of the corner of her eye, she still caught a glimpse of that wisp of green smoke dancing enchantingly in the east wind, reminding her of the twisted and twisted waist of her concubine Liu Shi when she was walking. .

Qin Shifang looked at herself in the bronze mirror expressionlessly.

The woman in the mirror also stared at her expressionlessly.

The corners of her lips moved, leading to a very faint smile, sparse and gentle, like flowers painted in light ink on white paper, blooming on her lips.

Once upon a time, as long as she thought of those concubines, she couldn't hold back the soreness and pain in her heart; and as long as she saw those children, sadness and self-blame would always flash across her brows.

But, how good it is now, even if she thinks about Liu Shi in her mind, and fantasizes about her tactful Cheng Huan beside Zuo Sikuang, she won't feel any more sad in her heart.

Only the bone-piercing cold enveloped her whole body.

The smile on Qin Shifang's lips gradually widened, from lips to eyebrows, and then lowered his eyes.

The woman in the mirror was also doing the same thing, with a quiet and gentle smile, occasionally frowning slightly, and then she had a compassionate and kind look again.
