Plum Garden.
In the courtyard, Miss Qin Er, dressed in a plain white dress, was accompanying a young woman, comforting her softly.
The young woman's cheeks were red and swollen, her eyes were bloodshot, the corners of her mouth were blue, and her neck was covered with nail scratches.
With this look, it was no longer possible to tell that she was Yang Ping'er, the second wife of the Chengguo Mansion.
Qiu'er moved a chair.
Miss Qin Er helped her sit down.
Yang Pinger's face was full of anxiety and panic. As soon as she sat down, she immediately stood up and said in a hoarse voice: "Second Miss, where is Qingzhou? Let him come over quickly. I have something to say to him, and I have to go back quickly. , my small building is still waiting for me at home."
Qin Weimo looked at the door.
At this time, Luo Qingzhou looked solemn and walked in hastily.
Second Miss Qin quickly said softly: "Second Madam, my brother-in-law is here. If you have anything to say, you can tell him directly."
Then he turned around and walked into the room, saying to Qiu'er next to him: "Qiu'er, you and Zhu'er also come in, and you are not allowed to eavesdrop."
"Yes, miss."
Qiu'er agreed and immediately shouted to Zhu'er who had just entered the door.
Just as Second Miss Qin was about to leave, Yang Ping'er said quickly: "Second Miss, don't leave. You and the Qin family may need help with this matter. Qingzhou is a scholar, and he can't do it alone..."
Qin Weimo stopped, paused, and said to Qiu'er next to him: "Qiu'er, you and Zhu'er go in first."
"Yes, miss."
Qiu'er and Zhu'er, who had just returned, immediately entered the house and closed the door.
There were only three people left in the courtyard.
Luo Qingzhou walked up to Yang Ping'er, stared at the scars on her face and neck, frowned and said, "Second Madam, what's going on?"
Yang Pinger's face showed a touch of bitterness, and she shook her head: "It's okay."
Then, he looked around anxiously, approached him, and whispered: "Qingzhou, listen carefully. When I went to deliver morning tea to the eldest lady this morning, I heard her whispering to an old man in the room. Gu. I don’t know that old man, and I don’t know where he comes from. I heard him talking about graves, bones, and Feng Shui. I also heard the eldest lady gnashing her teeth and cursing... scolding the little bastard, saying that you will have bad luck. I will try it next autumn. If you don’t pass the exam...they also say that you...will have no children or grandchildren..."
After saying that, she suddenly grabbed his arm and whispered with horror on her face: "Qingzhou, she...may want to dig up your mother's grave, and then use your mother's bones to perform some vicious evil spell... "
Luo Qingzhou's face was gloomy and his eyelids were twitching.
Yang Ping'er quickly turned around and said to Miss Qin Er behind her: "Miss Qin Er, this matter may only bother you. Qingzhou's mother died young and there was no place to bury her at that time. She could only be buried in a desolate place far outside the city. Jiaoyeling, now he is the son-in-law of your Qin family, and he has been recognized by you. I think... if you are willing, you can help his mother find a better place. "
After saying that, he said with an embarrassed expression: "Of course, I know that Qingzhou, as his adopted son-in-law, is not qualified..."
"Second Madam."
Qin Weimo interrupted him softly: "Actually, since the last time my brother-in-law came back from visiting the grave, Weimo mentioned this matter to his father and said that he would rebury the bones of his mother in our Qin family's ancestral graveyard. At that time, my father and other uncles mentioned it, and everyone thought it was against the rules, but now... Don't worry, Weimo can guarantee that the bones of my brother-in-law's mother will be buried in our Qin family's ancestral graveyard. There are three villages surrounding it. , our ancestors are the ones who look after the tombs there, and no one will ever steal the tombs."
"Okay, okay, Second Miss Qin, if Qingzhou can marry into your Qin family and get you... I believe his mother's spirit in heaven will be very pleased and happy."
Yang Ping'er smiled and wiped her tears and said, "Okay, it's time for me to leave. I can't stay here any longer. If I'm discovered..."
Luo Qingzhou suddenly asked: "Second Madam, what are these scars on your face?"
Yang Ping'er smiled bitterly, waved her hand and said, "Stop talking, Qingzhou, you and Xiaodie live well here, I'm leaving."
Qin Weimo suddenly pulled her and said: "Second Madam, tell us what happened to the scar on your face and when it happened. This is very important."
Luo Qingzhou looked at her.
Yang Ping'er hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and then whispered: "After you left last night, I went to bring water to the eldest lady to wash her feet. I washed her feet well, but she suddenly picked up the water and splashed it on my face. ,then……"
Speaking of this, her eyes suddenly showed a look of fear and lingering fear: "Then she seemed to go crazy, beating, scratching and scolding me. I was so frightened that I knelt on the ground, not daring to hide or dare Say something..."
At this point, her body started to tremble slightly, and she continued to tremble: "After a long time, she gradually calmed down, and then she asked me to continue washing her feet..."
Qin Weimo looked at her with pity and said softly: "Have you been washing her feet?"
Yang Ping'er said bitterly: "Yes, it has always been the case. I am a maid originally. I became a concubine after being favored by the master. In fact, I am not even as good as the maids around her... If it weren't for Xiaolou, I would..."
She shook her head, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said, "No more, Second Miss, Qingzhou, it's time for me to go, Xiaolou is still waiting for me at home."
After saying that, he wiped his tears and left in a hurry.
Under the setting sun, that thin back was full of exhaustion and heaviness.
In the small courtyard, it became quiet.
The breeze blows and the peach blossoms fall.
A girl in a plain white dress approached Luo Qingzhou and said softly: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, your mother's bones will be fine."
Luo Qingzhou looked at her and said, "Does the second young lady suspect something?"
Qin Weimo was silent for a moment and said softly: "Brother-in-law, Weimo doesn't know the second lady's personality, and she doesn't dare to guess and comment casually. However, if the eldest lady of the Luo family wants to discuss this kind of matter with others, she will definitely be very It’s secret and cannot be heard casually. And the eldest lady should know that the second lady actually sympathizes with her brother-in-law. Wei Mo could tell from some details last night, not to mention the eldest lady."
She paused and then said: "Also, although the eldest lady was furious last night, she probably wouldn't be so cruel to her personally. After all, the second lady is the second lady of Chengguo Mansion and the concubine of Mr. Luo. , if the face is injured like this, the servants will point fingers when they see it, and Mr. Luo will be angry when he sees it. The eldest lady is a person who respects the rules and saves face. Even if she wants to vent, she will not vent. On her face..."
Luo Qingzhou said: "So, the second lady thinks this is a painful trick?"
Qin Weimo frowned and said softly: "Brother-in-law, Weimo thinks that the second lady should be innocent. She didn't know that she was caught in the trap. The eldest lady first beat her severely to make her feel resentful, and then deliberately interacted with her. The old man's words about harming you were overheard by the Second Madam. The Second Madam sympathized with you and was angry about what happened last night, so she came to you. Seeing that she was beaten so badly, you naturally wouldn't doubt her. What's more, brother-in-law You should trust the second lady in your heart, right?"
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment and said, "Actually, the second lady has always been very kind to me and my mother behind our backs."
Qin Weimo looked at him and said: "Brother-in-law, Weimo feels that this should be the conspiracy of the eldest lady. Your mother's grave is buried in the barren mountains outside the city. As long as you hear the news, you will definitely rush out to protect her. They will even go to move the grave overnight. By then, in the wilderness, in the dead of night, and far away from the city, even if my brother-in-law goes, he may not be able to bring many people with him. That may be the time for her to take action. "
"Last night, her brother-in-law killed her nephew, ruined her plot, slapped her in the face, and forcibly took back the birth certificate. She was probably so angry that she lost her mind, so she wanted to take revenge on her brother-in-law at all costs. .”
"There are still a few people left in the Song family. I guess she has already contacted them. She may lie in wait outside the city tonight, just waiting for her brother-in-law to leave the city."
Luo Qingzhou said: "Second Miss, although I know it's a conspiracy..."
"But as a son of man, my brother-in-law has to go."
Miss Qin Er looked at him with soft eyes and said softly: "Brother-in-law, of course I want to go. When my brother-in-law's mother was buried, she was scrawled, so her brother-in-law must be sad. Now, she will definitely not let her get hurt in any way. Come on. Brother-in-law, please bring everyone from the Qin Mansion. Wei Mo will go and inform the second brother that there are still people there. Then, Wei Mo will ask his father to call all the warriors from the second uncle and the fourth uncle's family... "
Luo Qingzhou shook his head: "If the people of the Song family are not outside the city, but are lurking nearby, waiting for us to take the warriors out of the city, then the people who stay in the house will be in danger. I can't do this for It is necessary to ask all the people of the Qin family to leave the city together, and according to the city's rules and laws, it is impossible for all of us in the Qin family to leave here at once. So, Miss Second, don't worry about this matter, I Solve it yourself."
"Brother-in-law..."
Miss Qin Er frowned and looked at him with worried eyes: "Wei Mo knows that my brother-in-law is very powerful, and also knows that my brother-in-law will not let those bad people succeed. But... that eldest lady may have gone crazy, and crazy people do things. It cannot be judged by common sense. Weimo is worried about her brother-in-law, really worried..."
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment and said softly: "Second Miss, don't worry, if they really want to kill me, they will never dig a grave tonight. I will go to investigate the situation tonight, and then we will Act according to the situation.”
Miss Qin Er said: "Brother-in-law, exploration is also very dangerous. Does brother-in-law want to take Xia Chan alone?"
Luo Qingzhou shook his head.
The two stood in the courtyard talking.
The golden sunset fell on the two of them, giving them a beautiful glow.
The sky is full of sunset.
The evening breeze blew through the courtyard, and pink petals fluttered and fell on the two of them.
Song Ruyue led the maid to the door. Seeing this scene, she stood quietly at the door for a while before leaving silently.
The sunset fills the sky and the garden is filled with fragrance.
In the plum garden, there are flowers blooming in every season.
