The wicked girl

Chapter 161 Death of Swallow Grass ([-])

However, before she left, news came from outside——

Mrs. Ye ordered the second lady to be grounded.

For a while, people in Yekui's yard were panicked.It was only about an hour since they came back from Jingci Temple, but Mrs. Ye had already decided to ground her.It seemed that things were probably even more surprising than she had imagined.

"Second Miss..." Qin Sang stared at the closed door and called her in a low voice.

Ye Kui's complexion turned white and then blue, and said, "No way!"

Qin Sang knew that she had seen through her own thoughts, so she had no choice but to swallow the words she hadn't said yet.

"This is a matter of the mansion, even if I ask Pei Xiaojiu, it won't help." Ye Kui shook her head slowly, her voice lowered.Turning around, she suddenly swept all the tea sets from the pear blossom wood round table, and the porcelain shattered to the ground.The tea splashed everywhere, and the slightly astringent fragrance slowly spread in the air, with a shocking astringent taste.

"Go and wake Miss Fifth up." She stood up straight, twisted her tea-soaked sleeves, and ordered in a deep voice.

Qin Sang was taken aback by her action, hesitantly said: "Second Miss, this..."

Ye Kui frowned, her fingertips were cut by the splashed debris, and dark red blood drops "slapped" down.Her voice became deeper and deeper: "Go and bring the person, I have something to ask."

Those servants who were sent by Mrs. Ye to guard her would not be Qin Sang's opponents at all, but at this moment, she didn't have time to figure out anything, so rushing out rashly would not do any good.She could only take one step at a time, step by step towards the buried truth in a nonchalant manner.

"Second Sister..." Ye Mingwan's eyes were still red and swollen, and he walked towards her in a nonchalant manner.

Ye Kui looked at her, full of eagerness and fear, but could only force himself to calm down, let himself slow down and soften his voice to talk to Ye Mingwan, "Fifth Sister, what happened these days?"

When Ye Mingwan heard this, she was so anxious that tears were about to fall again, she shook her head and said, "Second Sister, I really don't know what happened."

"Don't cry...don't cry yet..." Seeing her crying, Ye Kui's eyelids twitched, "tell me everything you know."

Ye Mingwan sobbed, recalling the events of the past few days.

After He's group left Ye's house, Yancao obeyed Ye Kui's words and ordered everyone not to go out at will.At first, it was no different.Until that day...

Ye Mingwan bit her lower lip lightly, with a guilty expression on her face, "It's my fault... Someone sent me a newly purchased hair oil that day. I don't like the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus, so Sister Yancao went to change it for me... "

"What happened next?" Ye Kui's face turned pale.

Qin Sang, who was listening quietly, couldn't help clenching his fists.

Tears glistened in Ye Mingwan's eyes, and he said in a hoarse voice: "She never came back."

A pair of eyes as black as lacquer fell on Ye Mingwan, and Ye Kui frowned more and more tightly.Although Ye Mingwan was crying all the time, her words were always coherent, and she remembered the time and place clearly, so it could be seen that she was not lying.

But how could Yancao disappear after changing the oil in the bottle?
This is Ye Mansion, not some mean streets and back alleys where rogues and ruffians keep wandering around!How could a maid who had lived in the mansion for many years go out like this and never come back again?This kind of thing, no matter who you tell it to, I'm afraid it will be weird, right?

Ye Kui suddenly thought of a point, and asked anxiously, "Since that's the case, how do you know that the swallow grass is dead?"

Although the person did not come back, since Ye Mingwan made it clear that Yancao was no longer alive, it must be from someone who got the news.

Sure enough, Ye Mingwan didn't hesitate at all, and said: "When I went out to look for larkspur, I met Sister Qingzan who was next to the elder sister, and she told me quietly."

The big maid next to Ye Mingyan?
Ye Kui got up abruptly, eyes filled with frost, and continued to ask: "Everyone in the house knows that you don't like sweet-scented osmanthus, why would grandma ask someone to give you sweet-scented osmanthus oil?"

"Ah..." Ye Mingwan gave an "ah" in surprise, and then said in doubt, "After you left, my grandmother was not in good health and kept resting. I heard that the eldest sister helped to deal with the affairs in the house. This batch of heads The oil was also sent by the eldest sister."

It's Ye Mingyan again!
Ye Kui stopped talking, fixed her eyes on the vague figures outside the door, and said in a low voice: "Since that's the case, after Qingzan told you that Yancao was dead, didn't you send someone to look for it? Let's go and see what happened?"

The seven-year-old child hastily defended: "I've looked for it! I really sent someone to look for it! But...but..." Her voice weakened involuntarily, "They're all gone... none of them came back ...I was so scared that I didn't dare to ask anyone to go out and look for it..."

There was a sudden silence in the room.

None of the three spoke.

After a long time, Ye Mingwan pulled Layekui's still wet cuffs and said, "Second Sister, I heard something before you came back."

"What's the matter?" Ye Kui asked seriously.

Ye Mingwan pursed her lips, and said in a low voice: "They said that Yancao hooked up with the boy in the stable, and was discovered during a private meeting..." After she finished speaking, she shook her head and said, "I don't understand them. What are you talking about, but I heard that someone seems to have died over the stable."

Before Ye Kui made a sound, Qin Sang couldn't help cursing: "A group of bastards who have been gossiping all day long! How could Yancao be with the stable boys!"

She was originally a barbarian, and since she was a child, she felt that since she liked each other, her status was unimportant.But Yancao served Ye Kui together with her, and Yancao's girl couldn't hide what was on her mind. She had already told her that she had taken a fancy to Ruan's mother's youngest son who was serving Ye Shu!If it weren't for the fact that Ye Shu and Ye Kui were almost strangers, she would have told Ye Kui about it long ago, right?But now, some people actually said that she was secretly giving and receiving with the boy in the stable.

This is a big joke!
Ye Kui even raised his eyebrows and sneered, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Stable boy, I want to go and see who is dead!"

After she finished speaking, she had already picked up the round stool and smashed it towards the closed door.

The two women guarding the door were startled, and shouted exaggeratedly through the door: "Oh, my second lady, what are you going to do? The old lady can say, there is no order from her, what are you doing?" , don’t even want to go anywhere!”

Ye Kui sneered from behind the door, her depression was hard to get rid of, but it became more and more unbearable.

What calm down, what take your time, are all left behind by her at this moment!Regardless of what happened to Swallow Grass, if she really died, then of course she would die like a lamp. Whoever dares to pour dirty water on her should first ask her, the master, if she agrees!

"Open the door for me." Ye Kui sneered.

The two women at the door looked at each other, and hearing the cold voice inside, they couldn't help thinking that Qin Sang was still locked inside, and immediately became a little scared.But after thinking about it, there is such a big lock hanging on the door!It's not a fly inside, can it still fly out from the crack in the door?

Thinking of this, one of the women with a tumor on her neck laughed loudly, beat her chest and stamped her feet, "Second Miss, if you really want to figure it out, you might as well tell the old lady yourself!"

Suddenly there was no sound from inside the door.

"Huh? Why is there no sound?" The other woman pushed the one next to her, wondering.

"Ghost knows! Maybe I'm tired, didn't I just come back from outside!" The woman with the tumor on her neck said disapprovingly.

"laugh--"

Suddenly, the two women's eyes widened, and they stared at the blade that came out of the door in disbelief.

Chilling light.

The two subconsciously backed away.

The woman with the tumor was still stubborn: "I said, second lady, who are you scaring? The lock on the door, such a broken sword can cut it! Besides, the old lady ordered you to ground yourself, so you just stay there , don’t you think you’re not ashamed enough?”

She used to serve Aunt Dou's mother-in-law. Knowing that Aunt Dou's death had something to do with Ye Kui, she also thought that because of Aunt Dou's death, she was relegated to work as a rough envoy to make ends meet.Isn't all of this Ye Kui's fault?

Before she knew it, she had already attributed the inexplicable growth of the tumor on her neck to Ye Kui.

As soon as she thought about it, she complained, and now she had the opportunity to taunt Ye Kui through the door, of course she would not let it go.

"You're a good lady, but you do everything you can. If you don't learn how to embroider and make clothes, you'll be screaming and killing all day long. Oh, let me tell you, you're almost like that wanderer! It's no wonder that the girl who grew up outside doesn't look like a big lady! I look like this, and so does the servant girl I keep! No... Ahh—" The voice stopped suddenly, and the mother-in-law with the tumor rubbed her face. Crossing his arms, he glared dissatisfiedly at the woman next to him, "Why are you screwing me so well?"

The old woman pointed at the door tremblingly, "Look for yourself!"

"Is it really going to fail? You stay here, I'll go find the old lady!" Seeing that the sword was approaching the lock, the woman with the tumor was afraid that the person inside would cut herself first when she came out, so she hurried away. .

Only two steps away, she heard a loud noise from behind.

"Life!" The woman who was left behind screamed, "Second Young Miss is going to run away—someone come——"

The woman with the tumor, Sa Yazi, was about to run away, but a cold hand grabbed her by the back of her collar. Regardless of her struggle, she was dragged back to the door.

Ye Kui stepped on her heart, and said condescendingly: "Tell me, what happened to swallow grass?"

"Ouch... Please forgive me, Second Miss..." The mother-in-law Tuozi cried and begged for mercy, but what she got in return was Ye Kui's even more merciless kick, which made her envious of her knocked out companion. In this way, she shouldn't have said so much just now, "I don't know anything, Second Miss... this old slave really doesn't know anything..."

Yan Ran smiled.

The cold mask on Ye Kui's face suddenly cracked, but the face underneath became more ferocious, "One more nonsense, and I'll chop off one of your fingers!"
