During the dinner, Qingxue was completely absent-minded. Her thoughts were already in the sky. She didn't even hear what Qianfan and her cousins said. She just sat there blankly. The two cousins put vegetables into her bowl, and she took a few bites. When there was no one to take the food, she only ate white rice, like a puppet on strings. After dinner, she stood up and said goodbye to everyone, then walked straight into her dormitory and sat in front of the desk, dumbfounded. Suddenly, tears flowed down silently. Why did the fairy brother in the paradise last night turn into my cousin-in-law today? He was so gentle and amiable last night, comparing me to a peach blossom elf, but today he is so cold and aloof, treating me like a wisp of air? Qingxue couldn't understand. She supported her chin with her hand and leaned lightly on the table. The tears in her eyes were like broken pearls, falling down uncontrollably. "I'm afraid that dusk will turn dusk again, and I won't be in ecstasy if I'm not in ecstasy. The new cry mark presses the old cry mark, and the heartbroken person recalls the heartbroken person... Is all this a dream like a mirage?" Qingxue, who was talking to herself, couldn't help but feel sad. Come on, I can't let it go for a long time.
In the following days, Qingxue seemed to be a different person. She changed from her usual lively and active nature and became much quieter and calmer. She walked with Xinlan every day to relieve her boredom, and asked some questions about the pregnancy, such as whether the nurse was suitable and whether the wet nurse had been found. She also said that on the day of delivery, she would be with her from beginning to end, and the first person her nephew would see was her cousin. At noon that day, Xinlan, who was tired during pregnancy, was taking a nap, while Qingxue stayed in her Xiuyuan, holding a book of poems in her hand and flipping through it casually. Suddenly, her attention was attracted by one of the poems. Startled in her heart, she took out the plum blossom paper in her hand and began to write, only to see that she wrote: I will never miss lovesickness in my life. The body is like duckweed, the heart is like flying catkins, the air is like gossamer, and there is a lingering fragrance in the air. I hope that the rich wanderer will do it. When does the syndrome come? When the lamp is half dim, when the moon is half bright. After writing, she held the pen in one hand and held her chin in the other, looking out the window in trance. At this time, she heard Zimeng calling her outside, so she quickly put down her pen and ran out... When she returned to the room again, she sat in front of the desk and drank a cup of tea, her eyes falling on the plum blossom picture just now. As she was writing the paper, she suddenly discovered that someone had added a few new lines below her original handwriting. The writing seemed very strong and powerful, and she wrote: When will we meet each other on a blind date? I feel embarrassed at this moment and night. Entering my lovesickness door, you know my lovesickness is painful. Long lovesickness comes from long memories, but short lovesickness comes endlessly. If I had known that it would be such a troubling thing, why would I not have known each other in the first place. After Qingxue chanted, she couldn't help but think to herself: Could this be his handwriting? What was his intention in writing these lines? Could it be that he was taking the opportunity to express his feelings to me... From this point of view, his heart belongs to mine. The hearts are actually the same, they fall in love with each other just like when they first met. Thinking of this, Qingxue couldn't help but put the plum blossom note on her chest. Her eyes were clearly full of tears, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. She really cried with joy after the rain and the sky cleared up.
Before she knew it, more than half a month had passed, and Xinlan finally showed signs of giving birth. In the early morning of that day, her amniotic water broke, and she began to have more severe labor pains. The two stable women who had already stayed here earlier rushed to the delivery room in time and hurriedly ordered people to boil hot water for later use. Both Qingxue and Zimeng wanted to stay in the delivery room to accompany them, but the two stable women would not agree to anything and kept saying: "It is unlucky to have blood in the delivery room. You two are rich ladies who have not yet left the palace, so you must not do this." Yeah." Qingxue wanted them to be accommodating, and she and Zimeng continued to beg, but they were pushed out of the door without explanation. In the early morning of April, when it was warm and cold, Qingxue felt extremely depressed. She walked alone to Lanxin Pavilion not far away and sat down. She felt the cool breeze and calmed down a little. She couldn't help but put her hands together. She prayed softly: "But please Buddha, please bless cousin Xinlan, so that mother and child can survive this crisis smoothly." However, Xinlan's painful and low moans could still be heard from time to time in her ears. For some reason, Qingxue felt uncomfortable listening to it. My back felt cold for no reason, and I couldn't help but shiver. "I will definitely do it." Qianfan walked into the pavilion from the outside and said as he put his light cyan cloak on Qingxue's place. Qingxue, who had her back turned to him, was startled for a moment, then calmed down, tightened the cloak on her shoulders with both hands, turned around and said lightly: "Thank you, cousin-in-law." "Qingxue, how are you doing lately? "It's still this magnetic voice that makes people love and hate it. "Second Master, do you wish me good or bad?" Such a sharp tone shocked her.
Fortunately, Qian Fan didn't care, he just looked at her and said: "Qingxue, are you blaming me? In fact, these days, I often go to Shili Peach Grove to hang out, hoping to meet you again, but I didn't. Yes." "We will accompany cousin Xinlan there to enjoy the flowers every now and then, but we didn't see you there." Qingxue looked ahead and said with a gloomy expression, "But so what if we did, you and I In what capacity should we get along with each other? It is said that we have found a paradise to avoid the Qin Dynasty, and the peach blossoms are blooming again in the spring. Do not send the flowers flying with the flowing water, for fear that fish and men will come to ask about it." Qianfan took a step closer, stared at her and said: " Qingxue, I want to walk into your heart, is that okay?" "That day, you regarded me as a wisp of air, but now that you want to walk into my heart, I don't understand, which one is the real you?" Qingxue Said softly, somewhat sadly.
"The real test of a person's cultivation is not to reveal his true feelings, but to know how to restrain himself. Why don't I want to express my heart to you as if there is no one else around? But I know better that cherishing your reputation is what a gentleman does. So I just I can secretly leave a poem on your plum blossom paper and take the opportunity to express my pain of missing you." Qianfan said with a sincere face. His sincere words and fiery eyes couldn't help but touch Qingxue's heart, so she softened her voice and said, "But... you and I can't hurt cousin Xinlan." "With how much she loves you, she will definitely not mind. You and her work as one husband; the two sisters take care of each other, isn't it the icing on the cake?" Qianfan said without thinking. As soon as she said this, Qingxue blushed with embarrassment and said coquettishly: "Don't be sentimental, who said..." Before she could finish her words, Xinlan's extremely sad scream suddenly came to her ears. The sound instantly tore through the silent night sky, frightening the two of them so much that their hearts jumped.
Qingxue quickly ran to the delivery room in three steps and two steps at a time. She kept looking inside and asked anxiously: "Cousin, how are you? Cousin Xinlan?" Zimeng, who was also extremely anxious, asked He stepped forward and hugged her arm to seek strength. When she noticed the light cyan cloak on Qingxue, she first felt that the cloak looked very familiar, and then she suddenly felt lost. Finally, the door of the delivery room slowly opened with a creak from the inside, and a woman stumbled out with a baby in her arms. She said to Qianfan in a trembling voice: "Second Master, my little daughter... as soon as she was born. I'm out of breath." "What did you say?" Qianfan opened a corner of the swaddling clothes with trembling hands. He saw that the baby girl's face was purple and her lips were tightly closed. Qianfan stretched out his hand and poked under her nose. She was no longer breathing. At his feet He grinned and almost fell down, but fortunately Zimeng, who was standing aside, caught him in time. "Brother-in-law..." She looked at him sympathetically and wanted to speak out to persuade him, but she shed tears before she could speak. "What's going on? Didn't you two categorically claim that you are experienced and confident? How do you explain it now?" Qingxue asked with a cold face. Another Wen woman in the delivery room heard this and hurriedly ran out, knelt down and kowtowed in front of Qian Fan and said: "Second Master, it's really none of our business. We have all tried our best. It's the little daughter who is not lucky. ah."
"Child, where is my child?" Xinlan's miserable cry came from the room. When Qingxue heard it, she had no intention of continuing to hold her accountable, and rushed into the room with Zimeng. Xinlan was lying weakly on the bed, her face was so wet that she couldn't tell whether it was tears or sweat. Her eyes were blurry and her face was haggard. She had clearly just experienced a life and death catastrophe. Qingxue and Zimeng couldn't help but feel distressed when they saw this, and quickly stepped forward to wipe away their sweat and comfort them. At this time, Xinlan grabbed Qingxue's hand, stared at her and asked eagerly: "Where is my child? Come over and show me." After hearing this, Qingxue and Zimeng just looked at each other, not knowing how to answer. . "What's wrong, where is my child?" Xinlan pushed herself hard and wanted to sit up. Zimeng hurriedly stepped forward to support her and persuaded: "Sister, don't be anxious, take care of your own body. Ah." "What happened? Which one of you two can tell me?" Xinlan looked at Zimeng and then at Qingxue. They both looked like they were hesitant to speak. She already had something in her heart. I had an ominous premonition. At this moment, Qian Fan walked in. He was feeling burned inside, but at this moment he could only pretend to be calm. After sitting down on Xinlan's bedside, he stroked her hand and said slowly: "Xinlan, you must Listen calmly to me. Our daughter, who has no fate with us, has... gone to the Paradise of Paradise." "Nonsense, Second Master, you must be lying to me. I clearly heard her crying just now. How could it happen in the blink of an eye? Just... this is impossible, this is simply impossible!" She widened her eyes and shouted in disbelief. "Don't think so much," Qianfan cautiously consoled her, "Take good care of yourself first, and you will have children in the future." But how could Xinlan hear these words? He got up, and then suddenly fell heavily on the bed.
By the time Xinlan woke up, two hours had passed. And the royal wife, Shui Hanshuang, finally came to Lanxu Pavilion to visit Xinlan. After all, it would be unreasonable if she didn't show up again. At this time, she saw that Xinlan had woken up, and quickly said with pretending concern: "Sister, you have finally woken up, but I am so worried about my sister. You must be more open-minded. You are still so young. There will be many things in the future." The chance to have a child and taking good care of your body are the top priority, you know." Xinlan shook her head and said with great reluctance: "I don't believe my daughter is gone like this, let me see her, let me see One glance." As she spoke, she struggled to get up. Shui Hanshuang hurriedly held her down with both hands, and said half-consoling and half-accusing: "This is the truth. You have to accept it. Besides, if you are so messy, aren't you letting Qianfan do it? I feel even worse." Shui Hanshuang said as he looked at his husband, Qianfan stood aside and pursed his lips tightly and said nothing. Qingxue couldn't stand listening anymore. She looked at Shui Hanshuang and said coldly: "How can this be called being reckless? How do you, who have never been a mother, know how difficult it will be for a mother to lose her child?" My heart is broken, my heart is broken, my lungs are torn, I wish I could exchange my life for my life, just hope that she can live!" "Alas~ Where did you come from, a wild girl, why are you so uncultured and unobstructed!" Shui Hanshuang glared. Zu Qingxue asked sternly. "She is not a wild girl, she is my cousin. Qingxue is right. You have never been a mother, so you will not understand my feelings." Xinlan naturally tried her best to protect Qingxue. "That's wrong. Although I have never given birth to a child, I am still the legitimate mother of that child. I feel sorry for her and feel heartbroken when I learn that she died in infancy." Shui Hanshuang said with a sad face. But Qingxue noticed that her clothes were still gorgeous, her makeup was still exquisite, and even her sadness was just right, neither less nor more. Therefore, Qingxue did not believe her words and said reluctantly: "In this case, you should be more considerate of your cousin's mood and agree to her request! Otherwise, wouldn't it just prove that you are showing off?" Qingxue Xinlan was quite pleased with Xue's argument. She looked at Zimeng again, only to see her tidying up around the room, not knowing what she was tidying up. In fact, Zimeng was just taking the opportunity to secretly look at Qianfan, feeling that she was content just staring at him silently like this.
"What do you know? That child has already been laid to rest. How can I show her that I have to dig three feet into the ground and dig out the body?" Shui Hanshuang stared at Qingxue and said loudly. "When did it happen? I didn't know anything about it, so why did I take it upon myself?" Qianfan asked in surprise. "Just an hour ago, wasn't I afraid that you and your sister would be greatly shocked after meeting you? Especially my sister, who is weak after giving birth. How could she withstand this?" She defended herself. Hearing this, Qianfan nodded thoughtfully, and then gently persuaded Xinlan: "We are all for your own good, so don't get into trouble anymore." "No, this is most likely true. She wants to cover up others' eyes and ears." The more Xinlan thought about it, the more she realized that this matter was fishy. She couldn't help but sit up suddenly and pointed at Shui Hanshuang and said, "It must be you! Shui Hanshuang, you must be the one who killed my daughter. Why do you feel like this? Vicious!" Everyone present was shocked by her deafening words, and everyone stood there dumbfounded. Fortunately, Shui Hanshuang's reaction was quite quick. She stood up hurriedly, took a few steps back, and shouted in a high voice: "Hua Xinlan, you're probably going insane, it's obviously you." You are so immoral and incompetent that your child will never see the light of day, and yet you want to entrust someone to someone else for no reason!" "You are the one who is wicked! You must have done something to cause my daughter to die in vain! Shui Hanshuang, If you are honest, then swear by the prosperity and disgrace of your mother's family!" Xinlan said with grief and indignation. When everyone heard what she said, they couldn't help but look at Shui Hanshuang with suspicion.
Shui Hanshuang, under the gaze of everyone, felt a huge and invisible pressure, and couldn't help shouting to Xinlan angrily: "If the oath is useful, why do you need to judge! I advise you, speak up There must be evidence, otherwise it will be a false accusation." At this time, Qianfan held Xinlan's hand and said slowly: "Xinlan, you must be too tired to be so dazed and have random thoughts. The top priority is to take a good rest. , let’s forget about the rest for now...” Xinlan interrupted him and asked unwillingly: “I’m not thinking wildly, Second Master, I’m just asking you, do you believe her or me?” “There is no rule without rules.” , Everything must be based on evidence, and I only believe in evidence." As soon as she said this, her heart felt like it was falling into the ice cellar. She looked at Qianfan and asked disheartenedly: "In other words, if no evidence can be found, Will you let our daughter die in vain?" Qianfan said with a solemn face: "How can it be in vain? You can rest assured that I will investigate, but there is one thing. Before I investigate clearly, I can't I hope someone doesn't have the wrong target." After that, he walked out without looking back, Shui Hanshuang followed him hurriedly, and before going out, he didn't forget to turn around and glare at Xinlan fiercely.
The sky outside was getting darker and darker, and dark clouds were pressing in from all directions. Then a strong wind came, and several pots of orchids outside the house were blown around. Along with the strong wind came rumbles of thunder and heavy rain. For a moment, the whole world seemed like All soaked in water. The weather was so bad for the next few days, as if God was also weeping for the poor baby and all the misfortunes in the world. It is true that if the sky is sentimental, the sky will also grow old, and if the moon is full without hatred, it will always be full. Xinlan, who was exhausted both mentally and physically, suddenly had a high fever that day and kept talking nonsense. Qingxue and Zimeng had been taking good care of her, but they wished they could take away her pain, whether it was the pain in her body or the pain in her heart. Zimeng asked his servants to inform the second master of Xinlan's condition. Qianfan felt mixed emotions after learning the news. In the afternoon, after Xinlan fell into a deep sleep, Qingxue came to the suite and sat at the desk, continuing to copy Buddhist scriptures. She had been copying for several days in a row. While copying silently, she felt that her boredom was gradually getting better. It became quiet. She was so focused on copying that she didn't even notice when Qianfan came in and walked to her side. "What are you copying?" Qianfan asked softly. Qingxue listened but deliberately did not even raise her head. After a while, she said quietly: "If the Buddha can really save people, I hope he can make the souls of the dead find peace and happiness, stay away from the troubles of the world as soon as possible, and stop lingering on the human world."
"Is the world really so unworthy of nostalgia? Do you only believe in Buddha but not yourself? Don't you believe that the results of many things can be changed as long as you try your best?" After hearing this, Qingxue slowly raised her head. She turned her head, but her face was filled with tears. She asked softly with tears in her eyes: "Can it really be changed? Can man defeat God?" Qianfan sat opposite her, held her hands, and said firmly to her He said: "Please believe in your own eyesight and my feelings for you. To me, it is precisely because you are so beautiful in this world that it is worthy of my staying and lingering." His eyes were as deep as Qingxue couldn't help but be fascinated by the sea. She whispered softly: "But I'm so afraid that all this is just a mirage." "You know, since I met you, I understand what gold is. When Feng Yulu meets, she will win countless things in the world." Qianfan stared at her and said infatuatedly, "I only hope to walk into your heart, clear the clouds and mist for you to see the sky, and keep the clouds to open to see the moonlight." Hearing this, Qingxue couldn't help but stretch her brows, smiled softly and said: "Everyone has been searching for him for thousands of times, in the wonderland of Taoyuan, but that person is here, surrounded by the shadows of sails." As soon as these words came out, Qianfan was extremely happy, and he held his praises Holding Qingxue's snow-white hands, she was about to kiss her passionately when she saw Zimeng suddenly walking in from outside. Qingxue quickly retracted her hands, her expression slightly unnatural. However, Zimeng didn't seem to notice it. She called her brother-in-law and went straight to the side room to take care of her sister.
Qianfan and Qingxue also walked into the wing room together. They saw Xinlan on the bed looking haggard and not sleeping very peacefully. Qianfan touched her forehead with his hand. It was still very hot. Seeing this, Qingxue brought a spare basin of cold water next to her. Just as she was about to help Xinlan change her facekerchief, Qianfan said, "Let me do it." I saw him soaking the facekerchief completely in cold water, twisting it gently a few times, and then gently covering it on Xinlan's forehead. "What did the doctor say?" "It's just prevarication to say that my sister is weak after giving birth and she is too worried." Zimeng then thought about it and asked Qianfan, "By the way, brother-in-law, how are you doing with your investigation?" , is there any progress?" Qianfan shook his head and sighed: "No clue." "Are those two stable women not suspicious at all? On that day, they said nothing to let Zimeng and I stay in the delivery room. I think Ba Cheng has something secretive in his mind, so he thinks we are in the way." Qingxue couldn't help but said with doubts. "You two are just girls in the boudoir. You have never experienced childbirth. Staying in the delivery room is just adding trouble. It is only human nature for them to behave like this." "Do you mean that I am too suspicious and making a fuss out of a molehill?" Qingxue He asked unconvinced, and at the same time looked aggrieved. "I didn't mean that. If there is any offense in what I just said, please forgive me for my unintentional mistake." Qianfan said with a compromised hand. Before Qingxue could speak, Zimeng looked at Qianfan and said softly: "Brother-in-law, you have lost weight a lot these days. You must take care of yourself. My...sister needs you very much at this time. "Yes." Qianfan nodded slightly, "You should also take care. Taking care of Xinlan in recent days has been really hard and tiring." "We are close relatives of flesh and blood whose blood is thicker than water. No matter how tired we are, it is our duty. ." Qingxue smiled faintly and said firmly. Qianfan met her gaze and said slowly and reluctantly: "Then I'm leaving."
As he spoke, he walked towards the door, with Qingxue and Zimeng following behind to see him off. Suddenly Qianfan remembered something, so he stopped and turned around. Unexpectedly, Zimeng was following him too close. At this moment, he suddenly turned around, and Zimeng ran into his chest unpreparedly, smelling him. Zimeng just wanted to indulge in the aura on his body and was not in a hurry to avoid it. Qianfan pushed her away gently, and then looked at Qingxue innocently. When Qingxue saw this, she pouted and turned her head to the side, pretending to be disdainful. "By the way, I'm going on a long trip tomorrow, so I have to worry about you two here. If anything happens, you can go to Bishui Pavilion to discuss it with Hanshuang." Qianfan told them. "Okay, we understand." Zimeng responded obediently, while looking at his handsome face greedily, feeling that she could never get enough of him. However, Qianfan did not pay attention to this, and only looked at Qingxue affectionately. There were still many things on their minds that they had not yet confided in, and many lovesicknesses that they had not yet expressed. At this moment, they could only remain silent. How could this situation not be the case? It was so sad that the two tried their best to comfort each other, even if they managed to squeeze out a smile, but in the end there were still tears in their eyes.
It was a dark night, silent and eerie. The wind outside howled coldly. From time to time, you could hear the rustle of leaves blown by the wind. It was already midnight. The silence outside was terrifying, and the darkness seemed to swallow everything. On a small mound, Xinlan was kneeling on her knees digging something with bare hands. She dug until her hair was messy and her hands were bloody. Fortunately, it had been raining heavily in the past few days, so the soil was much softer than before. Not long after, she finally dug out a soft object, which turned out to be a swaddling clothes wrapped around a baby. She opened a corner of the swaddling clothes with trembling hands, and suddenly her whole face changed. First she shook her head in pain, and then her eyes A fierce gaze burst out from inside. It turned out that she tried every means to find out where her daughter was buried, and secretly dug up the body alone at midnight in an attempt to find evidence to testify against Shui Hanshuang. At this moment, Xinlan couldn't wait any longer. She ran all the way to Bishui Pavilion with her baby in her arms regardless. It was a rather grand attic, with red and blue tiles and layers of pavilions, which reflected the noble status of its owner. Therefore, it was midnight, and the servants were all fast asleep, so Xinlan rushed straight into Shui Hanshuang's wing. "Shui Hanshuang, get up quickly, I have something to ask you!" Xinlan shouted angrily. Shui Hanshuang was startled in her sleep. She sat up and asked, "Who is so bold?" She fumbled for the candle beside the bed and lit it. Then she shined the candlelight on Xinlan's face, only to see Xinlan's eyes. There was an uncontrollable anger flashing inside, and his teeth were clenching like a frightened lion. Shui Hanshuang had never seen Xinlan look like this before. She had always been gentle and submissive on weekdays, but now she was uncharacteristically weird. Could it be that... Thinking of this, Shui Hanshuang said in a panic: "Midnight. , you don’t want to rest, what you did here is really inexplicable!” “How can you still sleep peacefully after doing such an outrageous thing, Shui Hanshuang, do you still have a conscience and do you have humanity?” Xinlan asked sharply. "I'm too lazy to talk to you, a crazy shrew like you, come here!" Shui Hanshuang shouted towards the door. "Am I crazy? I'm a shrew? Then who are you? An inhumane executioner! Come here, open your eyes and see clearly!" Xinlan said while grabbing her and pushing her face straight. When he reached the swaddle in his hand, he saw clearly visible and shocking five finger prints on the baby girl's face. The death state was so terrifying and eerie that Shui Hanshuang, who had always been bold, couldn't help but tremble with fear.
"Tell me, did you bribe Wen Po to do this murder for you? I asked myself that I have never sinned against you, and I have always been cautious. Why are you unwilling to give me a way to live?" "It's ridiculous, why? You insist that it was me who instigated it?" Shui Hanshuang denied it. "Now that the evidence is irrefutable, you still want to deny it!" Hearing this, Xin Lan was furious. As he spoke, he put down the baby clothes, and then suddenly stretched out his hands and strangled her neck. Shui Hanshuang was not prepared. She only felt that her neck was being strangled tightly and her breathing became increasingly difficult. She tried her best to shout: "Someone... help, hurry... someone is here!" When Xinlan saw this, she tried her best. Shui Hanshuang pinched hard with all his strength. Naturally, Shui Hanshuang didn't want to wait for death, so he also used his own hands to break Kai Lan's hand, but it was of no avail. Just when she felt out of breath and about to die, her two personal maids finally arrived in time and immediately stopped Xinlan. Shui Hanshuang first gasped for air, then stroked the neck that was pinched so painfully, and said through gritted teeth: "That's unreasonable! I almost died in the hands of a crazy woman like you just now. Today I won't If I ask you to pay me back ten times, I will not call Shui Hanshuang! Pan'er, slap her hard in the face. As long as I don't shout, you will never stop. Do you hear me? Why are you still dawdling there? !" Seeing that her master was angry and furious, Pan'er had no choice but to walk up to Xinlan, shine a light on her face, and slap her from left to right.
I don’t know how long it took, or how many times she was slapped. At first, Xinlan felt a burning pain on her face, but then it gradually became numb, and her face had long lost consciousness. "Stop!" Following Shui Hanshuang's command, Pan'er felt as if she had received an amnesty and quickly stopped. Who knew that the hands she was hitting were also in severe pain. Look at Xinlan's cheeks, which have become extremely red and swollen, and there are still bright red bloodshot eyes hanging from the corners of her mouth. "Hua Xinlan, Hua Xinlan, you have slandered me several times, but today you actually want to strangle me to death. Tell me, are you impatient with life and want to go to hell to accompany your dead daughter?" Shui Hanshuang said. Face said sharply. "You ordered someone to kill my poor daughter before she saw the light of day. How could I let you go so easily! When the second master comes back and finds out about this, he will definitely give me an explanation. Then you Just wait to be divorced, you vicious and vicious woman!" Xinlan gritted her teeth and cursed angrily. "You want us to die together, right?" Shui Hanshuang walked up to her, looked at her from top to bottom, and said with a sneer, "Okay, before I am divorced, I will do one thing first, and that is to pull a girl." Your two sisters died together!" After hearing this, Xinlan couldn't help but look horrified, and said in a trembling voice: "What do you want... This is a grudge between you and me, it has nothing to do with them! "Who said it has nothing to do with it? That Qingxue just relies on her sharp tongue to oppose me. I will make it difficult for her to speak from now on. As for Zimeng, she always stares at Qianfan and can't get enough of it. She thinks I'm a fool, so I asked her to try what it's like to be blind. So, are you satisfied with my arrangement?" "You..." Xinlan was greatly frightened after hearing this. I can't speak any more. "Also, don't even think about sending them back to their hometown. If you encounter a few robbers on the way, you will lose more than you gain!" Shui Hanshuang continued to say with a threatening tone. "No! They are both innocent, and they have no intention of going against you. I beg you... don't hurt them!" Xinlan begged with a look of despair. "The so-called convenience for others means convenience for yourself. As long as you no longer insist on having your own way, I will definitely not kill you all." Shui Hanshuang changed the subject and said with a fierce face, "But if you dare to say a word about this matter to Qianfan, Just wait until your two sisters are worse than death." At this time, Xinlan, whose legs had already become weak, fell to the ground involuntarily. Although she was full of pain, she never shed a single tear. Shui Hanshuang squatted He lowered his body and looked at her and warned: "You are quite brave. After being beaten like this, you didn't say a word or shed a tear. If it weren't for your two sisters, you wouldn't beg me at all. I hope you will in the future You can take care of yourself, so that everyone can live in peace!" After seeing Xinlan reluctantly nodding in agreement, Shui Hanshuang breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled arrogantly, and the laughter was in the silent midnight. It sounds horrifying.
It was almost early in the morning when Qingxue and Zimeng discovered Xinlan. They went out to search but couldn't find anyone. Unexpectedly, as soon as they returned to Lanxu Pavilion, they saw her passed out in the yard. She was unconscious, her cheeks were swollen, there were blood marks on the corners of her mouth, and her whole body was hot. , the two sisters who were frightened and frightened hurriedly worked together to carry her into the house. Looking at the injuries on Xinlan's face, Qingxue couldn't help but speculate suspiciously: "The injuries on cousin Xinlan's face must be related to Shui Hanshuang. Unexpectedly, her cousin's husband just went away from home, so she hurriedly suppressed her with her strength. "I'm dead." "This woman is so talkative and cruel, she actually does such a heavy hand behind her back." Zi Meng wiped Xinlan's wound and said distressedly, "But then again, how could she come here specially?" Come teach my sister a lesson." "Perhaps, cousin Xinlan has learned some of her ulterior secrets, and most of these secrets are related to my cousin's beloved daughter who died young," Qingxue said thoughtfully, "I am in a hurry. Then my cousin would run to Bishui Pavilion regardless and ask her to argue with her." Zimeng nodded in agreement, sighed softly, and said to the unconscious Xinlan: "Sister, how are you doing? You should discuss it with us before making a decision. How can you act so recklessly?" "What is tolerable and intolerable? If it were me, I would definitely seek an explanation from her immediately." Qingxue looked angrily. Unfair. "It's good to hate evil as much as you hate it, but sometimes you have to adopt a relatively roundabout way. Otherwise, if you don't achieve your goal, you may still alert the enemy at any time, and all your previous efforts will be wasted." Zimeng said with a clear meaning. "Then how do you plan to make a detour? Do you have an idea in mind?" Qingxue looked at her and asked eagerly. "If you want to take revenge on Shui Hanshuang, you can only achieve your goal by getting close to her first, pretending to be close to her as a sister, and making her let down her guard." Zi Meng said cautiously. It sounded like she had already I've thought about it carefully. "If you want me to pretend to be deeply in love with her sister, it would be more satisfying to give me a pot of poisonous wine." Qingxue blurted out. "Knowing that you are straightforward by nature and never willing to make mistakes, how could I make things difficult for you without knowing what is good and what is good? I would have to sacrifice my own life for justice." Zi Meng said helplessly. "What do you want to do?" Qingxue asked worriedly. Before Zimeng could reply, she heard Xinlan suddenly shouting in a straight voice: "No! Don't let Qingxue have a speech and make Zimeng blind... Please let them go..." Hearing this , Qingxue and Zimeng couldn't help but look at each other, shocked. "It's simply hateful!" Qingxue said, clenching her fists and hitting the edge of the bed to vent her grievances. Zimeng bit her lip, nodded slightly, and secretly made up her mind.
In the next two days, although Dr. Hu tried his best, Xinlan's condition became more and more serious. The high fever continued and she fell into coma from time to time. Qingxue thought to herself: Qianfan was traveling far away again. What to do? It would be unnecessary to consult with Shui Hanshuang. She must wish that her cousin would never wake up, so that she could sit back and relax. Alas, on the surface, Peach Blossom Villa is indeed a quiet and elegant place in the world, which makes people yearn for infinitely. However, people's hearts are old and there are endless disputes, so there is no way to escape from the world. She and Zimeng were so anxious that they didn't know what to do. They had no interest in eating and drinking, and were restless. Seeing that they were so worried, Liandie kept asking people for good advice. A well-intentioned person reminded her, why not go to the uncle. After all, he has power and plans, and can always turn the tide. So after Liandie returned to Lanxu Pavilion, she hurriedly told the two sisters this. After hearing this, Zimeng said hesitantly: "I heard that this uncle of the Mu family has always been arrogant, and he has always been on the same page with our second wife. If there is discord, I am afraid that if he is not willing to lend a helping hand easily, it will be in vain." Qingxue did not agree, and stood up and said firmly: "That is better than just sitting back and waiting for death, for the safety of cousin Xinlan , I am not afraid to face difficulties, let me go and meet this arrogant man." Zimeng thought to herself: I am afraid that her move will probably arouse the suspicion of her brother-in-law, because he is not aware of what happened in the past few days. For all these things, I just feel that she must have ulterior motives for being so roundabout, so should I try to persuade her... or forget it, she may not listen to my words, and there is a rift between them. Isn't it better, so that I can have a chance to replace her. It is obvious that I have been deeply in love with my brother-in-law for a long time, but Qingxue made a mistake and won his favor. I am not willing to accept it. I absolutely will not accept it! I can give up everything else, except the person I like...
