Chapter 44 Dead! (plus more)

This time it was Liuli's turn to be speechless.She asked Rui'er to go back to see her, naturally because she wanted to see Rui'er's choice, and of course at the same time, she was also looking at Aunt Su's choice.If Aunt Su had kept Rui'er, it meant that Aunt Su didn't need Liuli, and she would never hope to get a favorable opportunity from Aunt Su.

But Rui'er came back later, which showed that Liuli had something to use compared to Aunt Su, which was definitely good news for Liuli.

As long as a person has a place to be used, he will never be trapped in a desperate situation.At the beginning, she pushed her to the position of the ninth girl of He Fu, because she had such a plan, right?After all, it is much more convenient to use a Nine Girls in the mansion.

So, even if the road is covered with snow tonight, she will still come.

However, it sounds so absurd that a concubine who she doesn't even want to get involved with comes forward to promote the position of steward of the big kitchen, but now Liuli can hear that Aunt Su did it on purpose, she was testing her, and it was also because of Yin Rui To seek justice for her, Cheng Yingniang wanted to stand in that position, she took ten thousand steps back and said that even if Liuli could do it, she would inevitably offend Mrs Yu, and her road ahead would be even more difficult. Aunt Su was forcing She is against Yu Shi.

But the great thing about this woman is that she has already decided that Liuli will be her knife voluntarily. The helplessness in life often lies in the fact that sometimes you have to jump down when you know that your feet are a trap. clear.

Liuli was silent for a long time, then sighed, and said: "Since my aunt has spoken, Liuli should bite the bullet and take it."

Sure enough, Aunt Su smiled slowly, "You are a smart boy."

Liu Liqiang smiled, feeling very depressed.

Aunt Su looked at her with a smile, but didn't care.

The main hall was empty and deserted, Liuli waited for a long time without seeing any more from her, so she stood up: "If Auntie has nothing to say, Liuli will leave."

Aunt Su sat still and nodded.Liuli hesitated for a while and then stopped: "It's freezing cold, Auntie, please go back to the room earlier."

Aunt Su's smile disappeared, she shook her head, and slowly opened the scriptures.

Liuli paused for a moment, then hesitated and said, "I just saw Madam Wei burning the ghost paper outside the house. Could it be that today is an important day?"

"Today?" Aunt Su stopped her hands and looked at the front with a sad face, "Today is indeed an important day that I will never forget... You go back! Get that matter done as soon as possible, don't ask about anything else."

Liuli quickly said yes, and walked out of the inner hall lightly.

Hearing the sound of the door, Heng Wei and Rui'er who were keeping warm next door came out to welcome her, Rui'er hurriedly covered her with a big cloak and said, "But are you finished?"

Liuli nodded.Heng Wei glanced at the inner hall and asked, "Where is Auntie?"

Liu Li said: "My aunt is still paying respects to the Buddha, so Madam Heng can go in and have a look."

But Heng Wei sighed, shook her head and said: "Rui'er is good to go back with the girl." Saying that, she handed out the umbrella under the door to Rui'er and the others.

Liuli guessed that it was inconvenient to talk, so she walked out of the courtyard along the curved corridor.

No wonder Aunt Su asked her to come here tonight, she would be here regardless of whether Liuli would attend the appointment or not, Liuli was a little glad that she finally found Aunt Su's bottom, but when she thought of that impossible task, she couldn't be happy again.

All the way back to the Xiaokua courtyard with the cloak hanging in the snow, the courtyard was quieter than before, and Nanny Li's snoring had stopped.Rui'er was afraid that Liuli would get cold, so she lightly brewed ginger soup with boiling water on the stove, let Liuli drink a big bowl, and drank a bowl herself.

Liuli felt as if a stone had been pressed in her heart, she didn't say much, Rui'er only thought she was tired, and after she went to bed, she tucked up the quilt for her, then turned off the light and went out.

The entire east side of Xiaokua courtyard is covered with Liuli's territory. She lives in the three main rooms in the middle, Rui'er and other three maids live in the two side rooms on the right, and the left side room is also front and back. It was vacant before. After it was finished, she packed up the front room and let her live in it. She thought it was too small, so she gave her the inner room as well.

Rui'er came out the door, a sudden coldness pushed her back, she hurried to the threshold, stretched out her hand and pushed the door open, a unique smell of charcoal rushed to her face along with the warmth.

There was no light in the room, so Cuiying must have fallen asleep.A pot of charcoal fire was burning beside her bed, the fire had not been extinguished, and there were still sparks flickering under the ashes.Rui'er looked for flint to light the lamp based on the light of the fire, the lamp seemed to be afraid of the cold, a big bean huddled in the lamp holder, as if it was about to go out when she spoke.

The doors and windows in the room were also tightly closed, Rui'er remembered Liuli's words, and quickly opened the side windows a little.Turning around, she saw Cuiying facing the inner wall, already asleep, Tian'er thought she had gone to the hut, there was no one on the bed.

Rui'er was so sleepy that she fell asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow.

The next day, it was time for Tianer to wake up early, and Liuli Maozheng had to get up, and those on early duty had to prepare hot water and clean clothes in advance.

Rui'er woke up at [-]:[-], saw that Tian'er was sleeping soundly, knew that she was too late for warmth, and was afraid that no one would wait for Liuli to get up, so she thought about it and got up by herself.

After carrying the water to the corridor, seeing that the charcoal basket was empty, he went into the house again and asked Cuiying for the key to the storeroom to get the charcoal.

Cuiying lay quietly on the bed, still maintaining the sleeping position from last night.

Ruier patted her lightly: "Sister Cuiying!"

Cuiying didn't move.Rui'er came close to her and patted again: "Sister!" Cuiying still didn't move.Rui'er mustered up her courage, and put one hand on her shoulder: "Sister..." Before she finished calling "Sister", she couldn't open her mouth anymore, and Cuiying, who was only wearing obscene clothes and trousers, touched a piece of her hand. It's cold, and it's as stiff as a rock!
Rui'er was shocked, and quickly turned her over...

Liuli didn't fall asleep until dawn, and was suddenly awakened from her sleep by a scream. She opened her eyes in a daze, and another scream came from the next door: "Come here! Dead!"

Liuli recognized Tian'er's voice, and immediately sat up. There was no clothes on the bedside, so she took the big cloak that she couldn't collect last night and put it on indiscriminately.Called "Rui'er", Rui'er didn't answer, but someone in the next room started crying again, and Nanny Li on the right also got up, yelling "What's the matter, what's the matter" all the way, and rushed towards the three maids like the wind. Rushed to the house where he was.

When Liuli arrived, Rui'er sat on the ground with her eyes wide open, crying blankly, while Tian'er paced back and forth, muttering non-stop: "He's dead! He's dead! She's dead!"

Li Momo patted her thigh in a daze and said, "What the hell is going on? How could he die... How could he just die like this?!..."

And on the wooden bed in front of them lay Cuiying curled up in a strange posture!

Liuli stepped forward to snort, then pinched her cheeks, shivering inexplicably.

- really dead!
