Shengshichun

Chapter 4 It’s you, madam!
"You stop for me!"

The man was still threatening from behind.

But, how could he keep Liang Ning?

"Really!"

At this time, another breathy and worried voice came from behind, but it was a vaguely familiar female voice.

"Where are you going, Zhen'er?"

Liang Ning was sure that this voice had been heard somewhere before her accident.

Before she could turn around, a series of tiny footsteps had already caught up to her.

The visitor was a woman in her thirties, well-dressed, and her facial features were very beautiful. One could easily imagine how outstanding she must have been when she was young.But her face was haggard and her figure was very thin, but she didn't look like a pampered wife from a wealthy family.

An idea came to Liang Ning unconsciously. She just felt that this face should be rounder and fuller, and her eyes should be gentler and calmer, and should be full of a deep and gentle power.

She looked at her carefully, then was stunned, and then she suddenly held the other person's arm: "It's you!"

The woman was nervously paying attention to the man and girl chasing after her, and did not pay attention to her expression.

Upon hearing this, she turned around in surprise: "It's me, Zhen'er, what's wrong with you?"

I don't know if it was because she was not looking well in the first place, or it was Liang Ning's misunderstanding, but I felt that the woman's face was gradually turning pale under the repeated words.

However, Liang Ning was so immersed in surprise that she automatically ignored who the "Zhen Er" in the woman's mouth was.

"Madam! We met that night, don't you remember me?"

Her mood was agitated, not only because that night itself was unforgettable, but also because at this moment when her mind was full of chaos, a living person with whom she had interacted finally appeared!

She saw this lady the night she picked up the dagger.

In order to facilitate her care, the house she chose for Xu Yin was specifically located in Qingquanfang, which is across an alley from Liang's house.

Because of the proximity, even if she had to help her two widowed sisters-in-law and her eldest nephew-in-law Su Xing'er manage the General's Mansion, which was experiencing a series of changes during the day, she could still find time to see him at night.

But that night, as soon as she entered the gardenia alley between the two houses, she smelled the smell of blood.

Years of living in the northwest have trained her to be on guard. She groped quietly to avoid the smell of blood. She saw that the alley was extremely quiet, and blood was flowing everywhere in the side alley. Two people were lying motionless on the ground, and blood was flowing from them. gurgling out.

It was the 16th year of the founding of the country. Although the borders were unstable and the country was in ruins, the founding emperor overthrew the regime and established a new dynasty because he was dissatisfied with the tyranny of the previous dynasty. Therefore, after the founding of the country, the emperor and his ministers were united, and the government and the opposition were very divided. stable.A murder like this in the dark night can be regarded as a strange news that shocked the whole capital.

The dead were a middle-aged man and an eight or nine-year-old child.In front of the child fell a candied haws with more than half of it left. The man's face was filled with fear, and one arm was still holding half of the child's body. His palm was relatively delicate, which showed that he was not a Lianjiazi.

They were wearing clothes of good quality, and the mutton-fat jade pendants around their waists and the gold collars around the children's necks were still there, which made it certain that the murderer was not looking for money.In the man's arms was Dazhou's road guide. Although most of it was stained with blood and his name was no longer visible, he could not be someone with a shady identity because he could get the road guide and openly walk on the streets of the capital to buy candied haws. .

Having seen many soldiers who died tragically in the northwest, Liang Ning was in awe of life and always had compassion in her heart. She closed the man's open eyes and put the candied haws back into the child's hand.

Then she accidentally discovered the dagger engraved with complicated patterns under their bodies.The dagger also showed a cold light under the weak moonlight after the rain, which was obviously not an ordinary thing.

As soon as I took it in my hand, footsteps suddenly came from both ends of the alley, light and fast!

Of course, this moment of right and wrong cannot be exposed.

Her only way out was to jump up to the high attic windows of the houses on both sides.But her sudden intrusion will most likely cause panic, and then the same will be revealed.

At this critical moment, a window suddenly opened at the window of a nearby house. Someone eagerly stretched out half of his upper body to wave to her. Under the dim light, a round and nervous face looked like this. , suddenly appeared in sight!
There is no other choice.Liang Ning held the dagger in his hand and jumped forward without thinking.

The window was closed at the same moment she landed, and in the alley below, the footsteps stopped in the side alley opposite!
The people in the room led her to the screen before she slumped down in a chair in exhaustion. Liang Ning used the light to see her face clearly, and they naturally started talking to each other later.So even though the face of the woman in front of her was no longer plump and her expression was no longer as down-to-earth as before, she recognized that they were indeed the same person!

Since then, there have been no rumors about the murder on the streets, and Xu Yin insisted on asking her for the dagger several times. Judging from the fact that what happened that night must be related to an unusual person.

And in that situation, as a weak-minded woman, the lady took the risk to let the stranger Liang Ning in for safety. It was really a commendable act of kindness.

To say that this was Liang Ning's savior might be an exaggeration, but without her help, there is no doubt that Liang Ning would have been involved in the murder.Therefore this is also her benefactor!

At this time, the anger in Liang Ning's heart had calmed down for the most part, and she even smiled.

"I left in a hurry that day because I was afraid of hurting my wife, so I forgot to ask my wife's surname. I didn't expect that we were destined to meet each other again now."

At that time, neither of them inquired about each other's identity, simply because they all had the same scruples in their hearts.But Liang Ning was grateful and remembered her deeply.

However, when the woman heard this, she looked even more shocked, and her face became as white as paper!

"Zhen'er, I am mother! You, don't you recognize me anymore?!"

Mrs. Fu held her hand tightly, feeling dizzy coming up in waves!
Two-quarters of an hour ago, she got the bad news from Cheng Kong. After asking for a fortune in the Buddhist hall three times, she was told that Fu Zhen would not survive more than three days!
"She was destined to be like this. My condolences to the donor."

Cheng Kong's words almost made her faint!
As for Chengkong later sighing and saying: "Madam, I have a kind heart. Although this road is dead, maybe destiny has other arrangements. I don't know." It can only be said that as a monk, I have a compassionate heart. Under mercy, A gift of comfort to her!
——Any other arrangements? !

He, an eminent monk who could predict the fate of a country, said that this road was dead and her daughter had no way to survive!What other plans could fate have for that day? !
She stumbled out of the Buddhist hall, but she didn't expect that Fu Zhen, who she had asked to wait outside, would look like this after not being seen for a short while!
Not only did she look at everything with cold eyes, but her whole body was full of hostility, as if the god of death had come to the world!
Although I still have intimacy and joy for her as my mother, I no longer recognize her!
She doesn’t even recognize her own mother!

She had long heard that there would be some abnormal phenomena before death. Could it be that bad luck was just around the corner? Is this the end of Fu Zhen's life?

"They are all good daughters you gave birth to!"

Just as Mrs. Fu's heart was filled with boundless grief, Fu Yun, who had been chasing her, suddenly slapped her in the face, and she roared with curses: "It's you who indulged her and protected her that made her so disrespectful of her elders!
"You were so used to her that she took advantage of her frailty and disability, and now she dares to kill her own sister in broad daylight! And she dares to turn a deaf ear to my father's words and turn a blind eye to me!
"You raised such an unfilial daughter, Ning, what kind of aunt are you worthy of being?!"
