It is not easy to be the fourth master's wife

Chapter 94

After a night of upside-down, Zhou Ting got up first, and Yinzhen tossed and turned several times after drinking, obviously lying still when he heard movement.

Zhou Ting put on her robe, sat in front of the mirror and combed her hair. She picked out the rouge that Yinzhen had given her from the box. Just as she was thinking about whether to pick it out and wipe it on, she saw him open his eyes and look at her, put down the small porcelain box and stood there. Get up and walk over: "It's too late to apologize."

Yinzhen hugged her over and took a sniff: "Wipe the one I picked?" His fingers wrapped around her hair, and her eyes showed her unpainted appearance.Zhou Ting leaned on his shoulder with a slight smile, and put her ear against his ear: "I changed it as soon as I got it yesterday, didn't you hear it at night?"

The box has Yinzhen's personal style, all the boxes and jars are painted with patterns, the plum blossoms on the powder box are especially carefully carved, it is a good object to play with.

Yinzhen took a deep breath towards her neck: "I can smell it there at night, so I can smell it from yours." Zhou Ting blushed, and stretched out her hand to pinch the palm that was wrapped around her waist. He retorted in his mouth: "If you hadn't been tormenting for a long time, I would have..." He gave him a sideways look and stopped talking.

After drinking last night, it was unavoidable that Meng Lang would be more aggressive, and the demands he made were not serious, and the whole room was filled with sweetness, and the two of them just leaned against each other, and they could still smell each other's scent.Zhou Ting put all her body weight on Yin Zhen's body, with one leg resting on the bed and the other leg resting on her feet, her skirt couldn't cover her ankles, revealing a pair of feet.

The nails were coated with a layer of oil, and they were shiny in the morning light. Yinzhen recalled how he held and rubbed his feet last night and said, "This year's election, you can take a closer look with Erniang."

Zhou Ting was leaning on him, her feet were swinging up and down, and she put the soles of her feet on Yinzhen's calf to make gestures.Hearing what he said, his body froze slightly. Seeing her stop moving and turn to look at her sideways, Yinzhen suddenly laughed silently, and waited for a long time until she gave a muffled "um".

He slapped her soft buttocks with his hands, and pressed his lips against her ears: "Where did you think? Huh?" The hot air from her mouth blew into her ears, and her body that was still stiff just now became soft again. Wang Shui.Zhou Ting knew that she had lost her mind, and her heart was slightly hot. She pushed Yinzhen's big palm around her waist with her fingers, and pressed his hand to her chest.

"Didn't knead enough yesterday?" Opened her mouth and gnawed on the small and white earlobe, Zhou Ting kicked him, and acted like a baby with her face flushed: "Don't you think it is jumping fast?" There was light in her eyes , really shimmering like a puddle of water, I thought he wanted to pick a concubine.

Yinzhen clasped her neck and pressed her upper lip, poking her tongue into her teeth and sucking softly. Su Peisheng's voice sounded outside: "Master, Gege Niu Hulu from the East Yard disappeared last night."

Zhou Ting's tongue was sucked, and he rubbed the red pistil on one side of her chest. She fell limply on Yinzhen's body and hooked his waist with her instep. She was stunned when she heard this, and then she came to her senses.

Yin Zhen didn't seem to hear it, two hands were in full swing, and she was punched on the back by a powder fist before letting go of the sweet tongue. Zhou Ting took a breath and wanted to sit up, but the hand pinched her waist. Let go, so I had to raise my voice and ask: "What's going on?"

Su Peisheng's voice paused, and he lowered his head and swallowed: "I reported it in the middle of the night last night. I didn't dare to alarm the master. The slave went to see it. She was already cold." It just didn't mention how she died. , Zhou Ting frowned and turned around to look at Yinzhen.

Seeing his expression of indifference, he bit his lips and called out: "Manao, come in and change my clothes." Others only thought she was crazy, but Zhou Ting knew she was not crazy. It's already cold.

After hearing this, Yinzhen had no choice but to let go of the hand that hooked her waist, put his clothes on and sat on the kang, Ma Nao came in before Zhou Ting called her a second time, and said to Zhou Ting, "Yesterday In the middle of the night, the lady in the east courtyard came to report, I thought I would always return it to the master..." The more I spoke, the voice became softer, and I glanced outside.

"You don't need to use this kind of thing to disturb your master's sleep." Yinzhen put on his regular clothes, walked over with the belt and handed it to Zhou Ting. Zhou Ting was in a mess, but she took it and tied it for him. Yinzhen watched She was really worried, and raised her hand to rub the center of her brows: "It's the Chinese New Year, so there's nothing to do, just pack it up."

Zhou Ting glanced at him and nodded, but the doubts in her heart became more and more serious. Why wasn't he surprised at all?The little girls set up a table of dishes, Zhou Ting always felt that something was wrong, holding chopsticks for a long time to move.

"You can't eat the fried liver too often." Yinzhen never mentioned the matter of Niu Hulu, knowing that Zhou Ting didn't move his chopsticks because there was no dish he wanted, and pointed to the agate: "You can't either." Let alone your master, that oil is big."

After Yinzhen said that, Zhou Ting naturally wouldn't bring up the topic in front of him, and took a silver spoon to dig a mouthful of bird's nest porridge: "It's not for this, it's not a child anymore. What's the matter with the little election that I just said?" Son?"

"Nersu also called you uncle and grandma. Khan Ama has already made plans. I'm afraid I can't get rid of the Cao family. You are always the elder. Wait for the girl to enter the palace and take care of her." The care is false, It's true to win over Naersu, with all these prostitutes, King An's family is already Yinhu's back garden, and King Ping is always powerful but he is a junior, so he can walk around without a trace.

Solving Niu Hulu's family is just like crushing an ant to death. What Yinzhen is worried about is Fuquan's family. He should have died two years ago, but he doesn't know why it has been delayed until now, and his illness is still recurring.Fuquan said good things about Yinhu when he was dying.It was these two things that made Yinzhen dare not take the initiative to show intimacy.He frowned secretly in his heart, this was the first time he encountered something wrong after he came back.

At this time, Zhou Ting didn't have time to think about why Kangxi pointed out a girl from Baoyi's family to a mother. She was always thinking about the cause of Niu Hulu's death. The two had different thoughts in their hearts, and the meal was rather dull .

Yinzhen was about to go out, and the eldest girl and the second girl were hugged by the nanny. The two young ones woke up early every day. Ever since Yinzhen heard the sound and carried them back, they came every morning. Visit their Ama, and he is absolutely not allowed to go out without a hug.

Seeing the two daughters, Zhou Ting couldn't help thinking of what he said last night, her ears were hot and the corners of her mouth couldn't stop smiling. Yinzhen, who was half a week old, was holding one in each hand, and he even weighed it: "After hugging like this for a few days, I feel that my hands are getting stronger."

Zhou Ting smiled and punched him, the eldest girl drooled on Yinzhen's shoulder, the second girl patted Yinzhen's face with her little paw, and made a sound in her mouth, Zhou Ting hugged her and poked her like an apple with her finger Round face: "Ah, it's been so many days, why don't you know her name is Er Niang?"

Yinzhen was overjoyed, and turned to the big girl and said, "Look, your mother-in-law is jealous."

Zhou Ting was caught by the two daughters, and instead of sending Yinzhen out of the house, he walked all the way and asked Su Peisheng who was following him: "Did you do it clean?"

Su Peisheng lowered his head, and his voice also lowered: "Don't worry, master, there is no room for mistakes."

Over there, Zhou Ting put her two daughters on the kang, turned her head and asked, "What did Mr. Su say when he came back?"

"It is said that Niu Hulu Gege suddenly went crazy yesterday, so the wives had to tie her up and put her on the bed. When Taoer let her go, she bit her and tore off a piece of meat to drive her out. When adding charcoal to the house, I found that the person had already passed by, and Mr. Su said that he died from inhaling too much charcoal."

Hearing this, Zhou Ting stood up and wrapped herself in the fox fur, and asked Aunt Wusu to stay and look after the child. She took the people to the east courtyard, where the mother-in-law waited tremblingly. Taoer saw Zhou Ting coming and knelt on the green On the brick floor, Zhou Ting saw that her arm was swollen a lot, pointed at her and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Tao'er was so frightened that her teeth chattered, and she knelt in the snow and shivered like an autumn leaf: "When I got up in the middle of the night to add charcoal, I wanted to tuck the quilt for Gege, but the bed was already cold when I touched it." She screamed immediately When I got up, the women were still cursing when they came in, and it was only when they saw that something serious happened.

Just as Zhou Ting wanted to enter the house to take a look, she was stopped by Manao: "This place is unlucky." There were messy footprints in the yard, and the windows were tightly closed.She also lived in a side room in the east courtyard, a small room with no windows open, could it be that she was really poisoned by carbon monoxide?But Yinzhen's reaction was too calm.

"What about people?"

"It's already packed." The leading woman replied: "Eunuch Su took the little eunuch to dress up and carry it away. We didn't even come to change the clothes for Gege, saying it was a bad luck."

Zhou Ting narrowed her eyes and stopped asking again, turned her head and glanced at the hut again, lowered her eyes: "Give me fifty silver." Then she turned her head and went out. It's not normal, how can she report these things to the police?

"Really?" Li looked at her daughter with scorching eyes, Da Ge lowered his eyes and shook his head slightly, unable to bear to look at her.Mrs. Li was imprisoned in the South Courtyard, and the use of it was not low. Although it was not as convenient as in the past when holding onto power, but the role of Fang Fujin was there. Trapped her, she is now so haggard all because the bottom of my heart is hard to calm down.

When Mrs. Song was imprisoned, she gloated at her misfortune, just like Mrs. Song laughed at her behind her back when she fell out of favor.She just pretended she didn't see Song Shi kneeling in the yard performing the play, it would be great if she could make trouble out of Yinzhen, if it doesn't, it's not her fault.

Yinzhen really never came again, waiting and looking forward to it, Hongyun Hongshi and Da Gege's birthday Fujin had a banquet and came down to appreciate things, but no one sent a message to tell her to go out.Mrs. Li knew that it was time for her to go out. It turned out that she was still expecting her son to grow up and get married and run an errand to take her out, or when her daughter got married, she would go out sometime, but she knew it was impossible when this winter came. up.

The leaves fell off one by one, and her body and bones were withering day by day like the flowers and plants. She had to cough several times when she said a word, and she couldn't get out of bed when she was huddled under the thick quilt. Three charcoal pots were burned in the house , even though the doors and windows were closed tightly, she always felt a chill go straight to her bones, the cold made her teeth chatter, and she couldn't sleep well all night.

She doesn't have many jobs anymore, as long as she thinks about it, she will not be reconciled, and now she doesn't know what she did wrong, what exactly did she do to provoke Yinzhen's disgust, and she didn't even have a chance to confess.

When Mrs. Song came to see her, she didn't want to see her very much. What else could she do, to see her own jokes?If you really want to compare Li Shi, she feels that she is more than a hundred times better than Song Shi. At least she was once favored so much that she dared not embarrass her face to face when she was spoiled by the main room.

Mrs. Song came to sit for so long every day, and she talked endlessly. She only said that she had offended Fujin and wanted to kneel down and chant scriptures to atone for her sins. Fujin himself believed in this, and he would definitely feel her sincerity.

She talked day after day, making Mrs. Li want to drive her out of the house, as if she knew what she was thinking. With a smile on her lips, Mrs. Song said softly: "Some people recite the scriptures seriously, while others recite crooked scriptures." When I was a child, I heard that people’s hair can be used to make magic.”

The string in Li's mind snapped. He clearly knew that this statement was nonsense, but he couldn't help thinking about it over and over again.At night when I couldn't sleep, I stared at the shadow of the tree whose branches were bent by the snow outside the window, and stared at it all night long.

If she finds the evidence, then the master will change back. He will no longer look at her coldly, call her name again, and listen to her grievances and hardships.The two sons will return to her, and the father will stay with her forever, maybe she can conceive another one, and the past glory of the South Courtyard will come back, and the official position of the father is just a matter of words son.

The more Li thought about it, the deeper the smile on the corner of her mouth became. The golden phoenix flowers painted on the autumn-colored curtains were blooming beautifully one by one. She suddenly felt warmth in her hands and feet, and her whole body burned.

She knows Song's temperament very well, isn't she making such a big detour just to make her stand out?Girls and servants are unreliable, but she still has a daughter who can do things.After such a long time, she still has the same temperament, and she is very happy for a long time if others eat meat and can share some broth.Although he looked down on her, he was the one who benefited the most from this matter.

"How could it not? Are you sure you've searched for it all?" Mrs. Li stared straight at her daughter, and when she spoke anxiously, she supported the bed and coughed, her fingers like dry branches were on the bed, and her hair was disheveled.Big Ge quickly sat down and patted her on the back: "I've searched carefully, and there is no trace."

"Then it's not in the Buddhist hall." Li Shi stopped coughing, and his eyes fell on the distance in a daze. If it wasn't in the Buddhist hall, where else could it be?Isn't it the place where grandpa goes every day?Her eyes lit up with hope again: "Go to the house, go to the house and look for it!"

Da Gege was dumbfounded: "Emiang, this is a taboo thing!"

Pomegranate shrank outside the door and did not dare to go in, pointing to Jasmine to take the charcoal basin in to add charcoal, Jasmine knew that Pomegranate was trying to avoid suspicion, so she sneered, "I have always taken care of Sister Fang Fujin, why don't you dare to go in today What's the use of getting rid of it at this time, when something happened, everyone couldn't escape, so they gave Shiliu a sneering look, then threw back the curtain and went in to add charcoal.

Putao was speechless, moved his feet and finally stood on the snow-fallen corridor. The brocade on the two of them was newly made this year. It was thick and warm, and could block the cold for a while, but the bottom of their hearts were already completely cold. They looked at each other silently, and their eyes fell on the icicles on the tiles.

It was the same as in the past, but some things were still different. How could there ever be such a thick snow in their yard?
