Concubine like a house

Chapter 66
These words pinched Zhuoyan's weakness, she gritted her teeth: "You are cruel! Since you found me today, it is God's will, I will let you watch a play."

Watching a play again?Before Chuxiu could react, Zhuoyan said again: "They are coming soon, you hide!"

hide?where to hideThere are lotus ponds on all sides, green shade on the left and right, and I am dressed in white, so it is too eye-catching to hide!

Chuxiu was thinking, but felt a resistance from behind, she staggered two steps forward, before she could stand still, she was pushed hard again.The moment she fell into the lotus pond, Chuxiu heard Zhuoyan say behind her: "Hold on to the rope and don't show your head."

There are several paddle ropes tied to the bank of the lotus pond, which are used to tie small boats to salvage dirt.Chuxiu was pushed into the lotus pond by Zhuoyan, he took a few sips of water after thumping, and managed to grab one of them.She was so choked that she coughed twice, grabbed the rope and scolded: "Zhaoyan, what are you doing?!"

"Shut up! People are coming!" Zhuoyan stood on the bank above Chuxiu's head, the hem of the cloak was hanging down along the bank, almost wet the pond surface, almost covering Chuxiu's entire face.

Chuxiu didn't know why, he took off the cloak covering his face with one hand, and was about to open his mouth to reprimand again, but he heard Zhuoyan's trembling voice say: "Third Aunt, Fourth Aunt, you are here."

Fourth aunt?Is it Luanqing?Chuxiu couldn't help pulling himself together, and leaned his body against the bank.Two filth boats were tied here, which provided her with just the right place to hide.Leaving Xiuxiu, he didn't care about getting wet all over his body, he held the oar rope tightly with both hands, and listened carefully to the movement on the shore.

"Are you shaking? Zhuoyan, why are you shaking?" Luanqing hadn't spoken yet, but the third aunt Wenxian had already asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhuoyan stood still, deliberately blocked Chuxiu in the lotus pond behind him, and said angrily: "It was you who conspired to kill Lord Hou, right?"

"What are you talking about? Zhuoyan, you can't talk nonsense." Wen Xian said with a bit of grievance and surprise, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Nonsense?" Zhuoyan wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to laugh, he didn't know whether it was fear or anger, his voice was still trembling, "Third Aunt, don't pretend, you bribed the ruffian to kill the second master, and pretended to be the second master Getting drunk and making trouble, right?"

"You did the second master's death?" This time, it was Luanqing who shouted loudly, "You clearly promised me, so stop here!"

The voice fell, and no one answered for a long time.After a while, I heard Xian's voice faintly, very strange and cruel: "That's right, I did it, Yun Qi is a fool, death is not a pity."

"He took the blame for you! He even became a useless person! You still refuse to let him go!" Zhuo Yan raised his voice, it should be deliberately for Chuxiu to hear, and then choked up, "Third Aunt! You are too vicious !"

"It's only because Erfang's mother and son are too stupid to be used by me." Wen Xian sneered on the shore, completely gone from her previous gentleness and tranquility, "Guess who is responsible for the Gu worms that were found from Jinlutang that day?"

Before anyone could react, Wen Xian had already asked and answered: "Luanqing put it in quietly. Heh! Didn't you expect that?"

"You are too ruthless!" Zhuoyan could only say in hatred.

"If you want to be cruel, you're not bad." Wen Xian smiled again in a flat tone.

Hearing this, Chuxiu felt cold all over his body, and his heart was colder than the biting pond water.turn out to be……

"What are you going to do? What are you going to do!" Chuxiu was thinking to himself, when he suddenly heard a scorching exclamation from the shore.She felt the figure above her head move two steps, as if avoiding some attack.

Immediately afterwards, Luanqing's shout quickly sounded: "Third Aunt! Don't!"

However, it was too late.The sound of a sharp blade piercing the flesh came out loudly, and before the scorching scream came out, someone covered his mouth and nose with his hands.Chuxiu could only hear her miserable and painful moans.

"Plop", a heavy object fell into the water, splashing water on the lotus pond, making Xiu's face flirtatious.But he didn't dare to move when he came out of Xiuxiu, he could only bite his lips as hard as he could, lest he would cry out in surprise.Burning face in the lotus pond is struggling on the water surface, the dagger at the throat is glowing with dazzling silver light...

Chuxiu saw Zhuoyan's eyes asking for help, but the latter didn't have time to say anything, his body twitched violently on the water surface a few times, and finally calmed down.Only the blood gurgling from her neck stained the surrounding water red, and then gradually disappeared, blending with the water color.

Before Zhuoyan's body sank to the bottom of the water, Chuxiu saw her ferocious expression frozen forever, which was extremely frightening.Watching a fresh life disappear, this feeling will never be forgotten in Chuxiu.What's more, there are still two dead bodies.

"You are too cruel!" Luanqing's voice came again, and she shouted at the third concubine, Tai Wenxian, "First, the old Hou Ye and Tai Furen, and then the Hou Ye. Now even the second master who is taking care of you is not letting go." However, I also killed Zhuoyan!"

"If you don't kill her, it will be you and me who will die!" Wen Xian's voice came coldly, and she was standing where Zhuo Yan had stood just now, exactly on top of Chuxiu's head.

At this moment, Wen Xian only needs to lower her head to see Chuxiu hiding behind the boat.But she didn't, she just turned around to look at Luanqing, and said coldly: "You helped me once, and there is no way out."

Luanqing took a deep breath: "If it wasn't for the third master...I..." On the day of interrogation in the criminal hall, Yue Wan confessed that Zhuo Yan had an affair with Yun Qi.In order to exonerate Wenxian, Luanqing hastily sneaked into the Jinlu Hall, and added the heart-killing Gu worm to Yunqi's elixir, hoping to prove Yunqi's crime.

I thought that the pharmacy of Jinlutang was remote, and she would not be found if she sneaked in secretly, but just as she thought about it, she saw Yun Xian bringing someone over to search the garden.Luanqing didn't want to be suspected by him, but also thought that Yun Qi was a hungry ghost, so she unbuttoned her clothes and messed up her temple hair, pretending to be molested, and ran out openly.

Yun Xian really wanted to be wrong, not only did not ask her why she appeared in Jinlutang, but instead took great pains to cover up the matter, and even specially asked her to meet her a few days ago, warning her not to have a different heart.

At that time, Luanqing was very sweet in her heart, at least Yun Xian was willing to protect her, even if she was used by Wen Xian, she would be happy with it.When she discovered Wenxian's trick by accident, she chose to keep silent again and again, and even pushed the flames to blame Erfang. In the end, it was all because of Yunxian... But I don't want to, now she is helping the evil, and she can't get away anymore.

"Third aunt, the second room has blocked the crime for you, why do you want to kill them all?" Luanqing asked with ups and downs of indignation in her usual indifferent tone.

"Chuxiu's heart was merciful, and he spared the lives of the second wife's mother and child. Who knows if there will be any changes in the future? From the beginning to the end, Yun Qi did not admit that it was him who laid the heart-killing Gu, and always insisted that he did not have time to do it. In case Xie Badan and Chu Xiu has become suspicious, and if we investigate this matter thoroughly, how can my third wife survive?" There was no sense of guilt in Wen Xian's words.

"How could the third master have such a cruel mother like you!" Luan Qing shouted angrily.

"Oh? It was my cruel mother who gave birth to him. Didn't you fall in love with him too?" Wen Xian teased without changing her face, "If that wasn't the case, why didn't you expose me when you found your senior brother? Instead, you kept quiet Going to Jinlu Hall to give false testimony? If Xianer hadn't mentioned it to me later, I wouldn't have known it, but you already knew about it."

Up to now, Luanqing can only sigh regretfully.The so-called "Warlock of the Rivers and Lakes" that the Second Aunt was looking for back then was none other than a member of the Jiang clan and her senior brother.Last May, when she was entrusted by Yunci to return to Jiangdi to find an antidote to love poison, she accidentally reunited with this senior brother who had been separated for many years.

The two talked about their recent situation. Luanqing mentioned that he was in the Yunfu, and the senior brother was only willing to reveal that he had been entrusted with a lot of money twice to poison the two Li Xinhous!Moreover, he has already taught the method of planting the heart-killing Gu to the second employer——

A seemingly gentle woman with a cinnabar red mole between her eyebrows spoke sweet and soft words.Isn't this the third aunt who is it?
Luanqing was recalling the whole story, but Wen Xian "giggled" and laughed again: "I have to thank that idiot Hua Wuying! She was the one who found your brother first, and she said she was a charlatan! I have no choice but to follow suit, please Your senior brother poisoned you a second time, and then put the blame on Erfang..."

"20 years later, you're doing the same old trick again!" Luan Qing didn't wait for Wen Xian to finish, before she continued, "You knew that Yun Qi went to my senior brother and wanted to poison Lord Hou, so you just let Yun Take action. And you yourself have learned the method of killing the heart, taking advantage of my return to Jiangdi to find the antidote to the poison of love, and put Hou Ye and Chuxiu to death!"

"You guessed it all, why do you still ask me?" Wen Xian looked very calm, "If Xian'er hadn't told me before going to Jiangdi that you are homesick and must go all the way together, I didn't know you were going to intervene again! But it’s okay, you are a wink, and you like Xian’er, otherwise, I will definitely eradicate your future troubles!”

"The most poisonous woman's heart!" Luan Qing finally couldn't help getting excited, "You poisoned two Li Xinhous back and forth, it's really..."

"Really what?" Wen Xian interrupted Luan Qing, feeling resentful, "If I'm not ruthless, what will Xian'er do? Before Xie Badan married, how much old Hou loved me! But then everything changed. Now, a man's oath is the most unreliable! And Yunci, he is a useless person, why should he become the Marquis of Lixin? Isn't it based on his bloodline! As long as he dies, Yunqi dies, this position is my envy !"

"But you made a wrong calculation. The suggestion of the Shunshi faction was not adopted. Mrs. Tai became the adoptive heir of Lord Hou." Luanqing said what she was thinking, "In the future, will you still harm the eldest son Yuncheng?"

"Harm? Huh!" Wen Xian sneered again, and did not answer directly, she just said, "Just look, sooner or later I envy the Yun family! When Yun Li betrayed me, I will never let him be happy after death." !"

"Third Master and Miss Mu Ge will be chilled if they know what you have done." Luan Qing sighed softly.

"As long as you don't tell me, how would Xian'er know? Even if he knew, would he still be able to confess me as his own mother? Isn't it all because of him that I have been planning for 20 years? How can Xian'er compare to Yunci?" What Wen Xian said was indignant.

Luanqing didn't answer for a long time, and then sighed after a long time: "Back then, I thought that it would be okay to blame Yun Qi, but I thought he was vicious and deserved to be blamed... I didn't realize it, but now I have it It was stained with blood, and let Zhuoyan die twice." She couldn't hide the guilt in her words.

Hearing this, Wen Xian pretended to comfort her and said: "Don't worry, Xian'er is not unintentional to you. As long as you keep the secret, when he becomes Li Xinhou, you will be able to be with him in a legitimate way. I will never stop him at that time on."

"Are you so kind?" Luanqing had already seen through her, "If the third master becomes the Marquis of Lixin, you will have no time to maintain his reputation, so how can you allow him to have an affair with his concubine? You are worried that I am good at poisoning , I was afraid that I would poison you, so I dare not punish me lightly, otherwise how could I survive to this day?"

"No, Xian'er likes you, and I will consider keeping you alive." Wen Xian denied, "Luanqing, I know my son best, he is a person with one heart and one mind. Since you two have this fate, we are together On a boat, you might as well..."

Wen Xian's trick was not finished yet, but there was a sound of footsteps coming from a distance, it seemed that there was more than one person coming.Wen Xian and Luanqing looked at each other, and they both silently kept silent.

But at this time, after listening to the conversation between the two concubines, Chuxiu was so frightened and angry that she almost fainted.She could only clenched her teeth tightly, for fear that she would not be able to help but lash out.

She heard the footsteps getting closer... At the same time as she stopped, Zhu Ying's voice sounded at the right time, with a bit of anxiety: "I have seen the two concubines. I wonder if you two have seen the madam?"

"Ma'am?" Wen Xian immediately replied, "I've never seen it before." After saying that, she was afraid that Zhuying would not believe it, so she added with a smile: "I walked and chatted with the fourth aunt too, and walked to Jingyuan without paying attention. See you madam."

If Wenxian hadn't revealed her true colors just now, Chuxiu would have been deceived by that gentle tone!A bone-piercing chill hit her in bursts, and her limbs and bones were in pain, as if she had been soaked in pond water and lost consciousness.

Danxin finally found Zhuying!How much she wanted to say hello to Zhuying, but she was afraid of scaring the snake.What's more, Zhuoyan's body is still in the lotus pond, if she speaks out at this moment, I'm afraid that Wenxian and Luanqing will conspire against her and make her a scapegoat for killing Zhuoyan!

After thinking about it, Chuxiu's consciousness became blurred again, and his hands holding the rope gradually became weak.She bit her tongue hard, forcing herself to stay awake.

Zhu Ying's voice came from the shore again: "In that case, don't bother me. If you two see Madam, please let me know."

"Has Madam disappeared?" Wen Xian's tone was slightly worried, "The Madam disappeared just after the second master died... Could there be some conspiracy in the middle?"

These words hit Zhuying and Danxin's heart, the latter stomped his feet anxiously, his voice was already crying: "I knew that Madam should not be left alone..."

Zhu Ying was also very anxious in her heart, but her face was still calm, and she did not forget to say a few words of comfort.

There was another "swish" footsteps, and Zhuying walked far away, and Chuxiu could vaguely hear him talking: "Keep this matter a secret for now, if you report it to Mrs. Tai, you are guilty of dereliction of duty." It's inevitable..."

This sentence can be heard even in the water when Chuxiu is out, and the two concubines on the shore naturally heard it too.

"It turned out that I was indifferent and dereliction of duty, and lost Chuxiu." Wen Xian seemed to be talking to herself.

Luanqing remained silent and didn't answer, Wen Xian gloated: "On the day Xia Yanran died, it was Zhuoyan who lost her; this time she lost her indifferently, do you think there will be trouble?"

"You are not worthy to be the third master's mother!" Luanqing rebuked angrily upon hearing this, "I'm going to help find Mrs. Xiu, and I will not accompany you."

"Why, do you think I did it?" Wen Xian asked suspiciously, "You suspect that I moved out of Xiu?"

The short silence showed Luanqing's attitude, but she answered quietly: "I'm sorry for the old Hou Ye's kindness to take in, and I'm sorry for the old Hou Ye's trust... If something happens to Mrs. Chuxiu because of you, Let's confront Mrs. Tai! Third aunt, don't blame me for tearing my face!"

"Are you threatening me?"

"It's indeed a threat. If you want to kill me, come and taste my poison first!" Luanqing sarcastically said, "Third Aunt, I've been walking a lot at night, so be careful of encountering ghosts."

After Luanqing finished speaking, there was no sound for a long time, and Chuxiu guessed that she had left quietly.After a while, Wen Xian also sneered and walked away from the lotus pond with light steps.

At this point, Chuxiu felt a burning pain in his hands. Because he had been soaked in water for a long time, the palms had begun to peel.But she still didn't dare to let go, she was afraid that if she let go, she would sink into the bottom of the water just like Xia Yanran and Zhuoyan and never come out again!

Going out of Xiuxiu to look at the lotus pond with slightly rippling waves, I remembered what Mrs. Tai said, that Yun's century-old wealth is hidden under it!It was also because of this that this place was completely abandoned to hide people's eyes and ears, and it was chosen by the murderer one after another as the place to commit crimes.

The anger and hatred in Chuxiu's heart reached an unprecedented level, even worse than when he dealt with Yunqi's mother and child!She warned herself not to let go!Can't be dizzy!Let alone die!Otherwise, Yunci's soul will never rest in peace!

There is also Yun Cheng, and Mrs. Tai... If the truth is buried here, they will be murdered!Yunfu's foundation will be taken away by a bastard!Being controlled by a vicious concubine!
Chuxiu braced herself up, she believed that someone would come back soon.At least tomorrow morning, when Zhuo Yan's body floats up from the lotus pond, she will always be discovered!

The sky gradually dimmed amidst the torment and waiting, and in the dusk, Chuxiu tasted the bloody taste from her mouth, and it was she who bit the tip of her tongue.In fact, the bone-chilling chill and the pain on the tip of the tongue were nothing, and the burning pain in the palm of her hand was also negligible. She just became weaker... More and more, unable to hold on...

When the sky was full of stars, Chuxiu finally lost all strength.Yun Ci's face seemed to appear in front of her eyes again, with a celestial appearance, smiling and slowly stretching out a hand towards her.

Yunci, is that you?Are you coming to take me away?I finally waited for you!Don't take knights lightly, and beauties don't take alliances lightly. This time, we depend on each other for life and death!
