Hibiscus Flower West Moon Splendid

Chapter 12 How Deep is the Courtyard (2)
Aunt Zhou looked at the two of us looking at each other and weeping, and sighed full of pity.Seeing no one around, she secretly said to us: "She is also a poor person. The head of the family only knows how to drink and gamble, and whenever she finds money, she will secretly go to whoring women outside the village. She is only a daughter like Xiangqin. She is also pretty, and she was already a girl in Uncle Qing's house, but it's a pity that people are not as good as God, and the uncle went to the capital to marry the princess." She sighed again, "We women are just looking forward to the princess. The son and daughter can be pampered by the master, and one day they will climb a high branch, and their own life will be easier. This parsley also has a hard life, and finally won the favor of the second lady in the past two years, and it is a big deal to be able to enter the palace with the second lady His honor and favor, he was born..."

I suppressed my tears and wondered, "What's wrong with Bisheng?"

Aunt Zhou looked around and said to us in a low voice, "Our Second Young Lady's name as empress has been repealed!"

"Why is that?" Biying and I were shocked.This matter is no small matter, the new emperor dared to refuse the marriage, there are only two reasons, either favoring others, or jealousy.

"I'm a woman, so I didn't understand. Just now the old man came to cry and said that the Dou family, the original wife of the new emperor, also made great contributions to the chaos. That Dou Lihua is so beautiful that she gave birth to a couple a few days ago. Twins of a dragon and a phoenix, and she is also the niece of the Empress Dowager. The new emperor already loved Dou Lihua, and now he has the imperial decree of the Empress Dowager, so he proclaimed to the world that Dou Lihua was the queen. Her son is now the prince. It seems that Our second young lady can only be the imperial concubine."

It turned out that the new emperor favored the Dou family, and the Dou family not only had the imperial edict of the empress dowager, but also the Dou family's southern army who was able to fight against the original family's northern army.Since Xi Zong chose the Dou family and regretted the marriage with the Yuan family face to face, the Yuan family would have to do so if they didn't want to.

I was stunned, and Mrs. Zhou said again: "It's a crime! Whose parents are willing to let their daughter be a partial house? But there are good things. Our wife has worked hard for the past few years, and I don't know how many babies have been lost. The doctor said that there is no hope, and I don't want to be pregnant again. Now, it has been five months, so I advise the girl to be patient if she can, lest someone make up the two of you in front of Madam."

Biying and I thanked Aunt Zhou, and went back sullenly.

A few days later, Biying went to Aunt Zhou's house to tie the jade pendant that Yu Feiyan gave her.I was taking a nap in the house, when the girl Zhenzhu from the purple garden hurriedly sent me to the purple garden.I just woke up, and asked Ms. Pearl dully why she called me.That Zhuzhu was known for her cold face, but today her face was even colder, and she didn't even know it.

When I arrived in the upper room, the long-lost fragrance of lilies filled my nostrils, and the exquisite pendulum clock was still bright and dazzling.

Sitting on the kang was the bejeweled Mrs. Yuan, wearing a sable Zhaojun suit on her head, a peach red flowered jacket, a big red crinkle silver mouse skin skirt, pink, glossy and fat, sitting there upright, with one hand pressed Holding Weilong's lower abdomen, holding a small copper fire chopstick in one hand to shake the ashes in the hand stove.The world-famous Mr. Liu stood expressionlessly on the edge of the Kang, holding a small lacquered tea tray with a small oiled paper bag on it, which looked familiar.

I invited Ann, and knelt on the ground respectfully, Madam didn't answer, she just picked the ashes in the stove.After a long time, the pain in my back from the long-term clothes made me unable to straighten up, and the sweat slowly flowed down my forehead.

Madam slowly raised her head and looked at me sharply.My heart skipped a beat, could it be that Lian Rui's family made a small report on me?
She sneered and said, "What a beauty who sleeps in Haitangchun! Do you think I don't know what you did?"

I was startled, and raised my head, "Mujin doesn't know what Madam is asking?"

"I have always treated you little five righteously. You relied on your two righteous brothers to prosper and your younger sister to be favored. You have no respect for your elders and bullied a senior woman. Now you are bullying me with your nose and face? In my stomach Your child has no grievances or enmities with you, you dirty little whore, how can you make someone drug me?"

Sure enough, this is inextricably related to Lian Rui's family, but I drugged the child in her stomach, so what's going on?

I hastily argued: "It was wrong for Mujin to talk back to Mrs. Lian last time, but Mujin would never dare to use medicine to harm the unborn son!"

Mrs. Yuan snorted coldly.

Liu Yansheng handed me the tea tray and said coldly, "Do you recognize this thing?"

I saw that there was a small pile of dark things in the oil-paper bag, which were the gadfly that Mr. Zhao had given to Biying a while ago.I replied honestly: "If Mu Jin is not mistaken, this should be the Gadfly."

Mrs. Yuan wept and said: "I have been in Yuan's house for seven years, and I finally got pregnant. Yan Sheng found out that someone put an extra gadfly in my anti-fetal medicine."

Liu Yansheng said in a deep voice at the side: "Gadfly, slightly cold in nature, poisonous. It can cure blood stasis, amenorrhea, and bruises, but pregnant women are forbidden to take it!"

I faintly felt that I was falling into a trap, so I forced myself to say calmly: "Mujin did buy a gadfly. It was Biying, Mujin's sister-in-law, who suffered from abdominal pain and asked the doctor to prescribe the medicine. There are thousands of people in this manor, Mrs. How can we conclude that this gadfly belongs to Hibiscus?"

Liu Yansheng said coldly: "Bring Yuan Wu."

Two strong disciple soldiers dragged a man with disheveled hair in. The man was dripping with blood from his buttocks to his calves, and he didn't have any good meat. It was obvious that he had been severely tortured.The man struggled to raise his head, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he could only vaguely recognize Yuan Wu.

I was so scared that I fell to the ground, covered in cold sweat.

Liu Yansheng said: "Yuan Wu, is this gadfly Hua Hibiscus giving you a letter to put in your wife's medicine?"

Yuan Wu didn't dare to look at me, and nodded his head with difficulty, spitting blood from his mouth.

"what do you say?"

I raised my head, and said calmly: "Mujin just feels sorry for Yuan Wu's sister who is also blood stasis and amenorrhea like Biying, but she can't afford a doctor, so she gave Yuan Wu the leftover medicine from Biying's food." , and gave him 50 taels of silver, I don’t know if Yuan Wu has returned to Madam.”

"Of course Yuan Wu has returned, and you still told him to collude with the letter in my room to give me medicine, do you forget? You bitch." The madam shouted loudly.

I looked at Yuan Wu, and saw that his eyes were empty, no different from a dead person.Liu Yansheng asked him in front of me, but he just foolishly said yes.

There are all the witnesses and material evidence, it seems that I am doomed!
I asked Yuan Wu: "Xiao Wuzi, who threatened you with your family, or did you torture yourself into a trick?"

Yuan Wu Wushen's eyes suddenly flustered, his lips trembled, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't make any sound, he just looked at me and wept in pain.

"Don't be hypocritical anymore. Hua Mujin, you once said that you were attacked in Xilin by someone. I'm afraid it was a trick of your suspicion. Quickly confess who is your master," Liu Yansheng's voice came from above, "In order not to Suffering from flesh and blood."

I looked at Madam and Liu Yansheng, "Madam, Mr. Liu, please clarify that Hibiscus followed Zhao Langzhong's prescription for gadfly, and because Biying had no one to take care of her besides me, I asked Yuan Wu to help me grab the medicine. Madame can send someone to the foot of the mountain to ask Langzhong Zhao to confront him."

"Hua Hibiscus, you blamed me for not treating you as well as Jinxiu, so you hurt me like this!" Madam sighed, "Actually, I planned to transfer you to Ziyuan as a servant tomorrow, but I didn't expect , you actually..." She continued to cry.

Liu Yansheng sighed, "Ma'am, don't feel sad for this kind of person who doesn't know what to do. Hua Mujin, we went to the city to look for Zhao Menglin yesterday, but he left Xi'an overnight. He must have seen things come to light. Absconded in fear of crime."

My head suddenly became dizzy, and my mouth felt parched, "I still have the prescription of Zhao Menglin's Siwu Decoction plus Gadfly in my room, please send someone to look for it, Madam."

The madam sneered, "Don't worry, I sent someone to search the house you left before. Yan Sheng, has Huai An come back yet?"

At this time, Huai'an, who looked like an iron tower, came in, holding a large pile of gold, silver, jewels, silk and satin, "Madam, these are all the suspicious items that Huai'an found in Huahibis House."

"Can a prescription be found?"

"Never found it."

"Lie!" I sneered, "Biying fell ill six years ago, and this year is just the Chinese New Year. I hid all the prescriptions and these jewels together, including the last one, a total of 56. If Huaian After finding these jewels, why can’t I find the prescription? Or did Huaian take someone’s money and destroy the prescription?”

Huai'an came over suddenly and slapped me hard, hitting me until my eyes were staring, my left cheek hurt, the smell of blood spread from my mouth, and finally the blood flowed out from the corner of my mouth.I maintained my smile and looked at Huai An, who was full of sternness, "My second brother treats you well, but you are jealous that my eldest brother and second brother are both from the army, younger than you, but a day earlier than you , Therefore, you conspired with others to frame me so as to hit my brother. If one day my brother finds out, you will die without a whole body."

Huai'an showed fear when he heard this.

"Enough." Madam picked up the lotus white jade cup on the table and threw it at my face until it shattered into pieces.My forehead hurt sharply, and blood was pouring into my eyes.I couldn't see Madam's expression, only heard her voice trembling with anger, "Do you think your brother-in-law is so crazy that he doesn't know who he is after becoming a mere fourth-rank official? I'm going to give it a try today." , If I touch you, will I die without a whole body?"

"Madam calm down." An extremely gentle voice came suddenly.

I tried my best to open my eyes, only to see a tall, stunning beauty with slender shoulders and thin waist, stepping out.She has handsome eyes and sculpted eyebrows, and she looks so fast, it makes people forget the commonplace, and she is indistinguishable from Jinxiu.Behind her were the smug Xiangxian and Lian Rui's family.

It seems that today my opponent is going to settle the account with me.Since this second lady has a lot of friendship with Song Minglei, she should have come to help me!

Yuan Feiyan said softly: "The madam is pregnant, why bother to have the same knowledge as her? Since she kept saying that she wanted to treat Biying's illness, why don't you call that girl named Biying to confront her, so that she can be convinced. "

My heart tightened, why did Biying get involved?The fear in my heart is getting deeper and deeper, is this Yuan Feiyan here to help me, or to harm Biying?

The madam took her hand and sighed, saying what about the child, why are our mothers and I suffering so much.

Yuan Feiyan may have thought of the loss of the queen, so she looked uncomfortable and said nothing.

Not long after, Biying was brought over and said Wanfu with a restless expression. When she saw my forehead bleeding, tears welled up in her eyes, "Mujin, what's wrong?"

Liu Yansheng didn't speak, he went up to grab her hand and felt the pulse, thinking with his toes, Liu Yansheng would also say that there was no blood stasis and amenorrhea, but that he just had typhoid fever.

"Yo, just now I wonder why this name sounds so familiar, she must be the little girl who stole the Feiyan jade pendant a few years ago." Madam suddenly realized.

The second lady moved lightly, walked up to the madam, served a cup of tea, and then sighed, "I really didn't expect that not only did she not repent, but now... Madam, for the sake of the general and Song Huwei, she never treated them Let it go lightly."

Biying turned pale and hugged me tightly.

I kept sneering.

Madam said sharply, "What are you laughing at?"

I knew that today's misfortune could not be avoided, so I became mad again, and before I died, I let out another breath of anger, "I laugh at the pity of Mr. Yuan Hou who has worked so hard, but the great work has not been accomplished, and the villains in the family have trampled on each other. Harm Zhongliang."

"The dead duck has a stubborn mouth. Drag it out and beat it hard. If you don't kill it, ask the old lady to lead it out of the village and sell it." Mrs. Yuan said, holding back her anger.

I was held up by two strong men.Biying burst into tears, and walked over to hug Madam's feet to beg for mercy, but Xiangqin stepped forward earlier, kicked her on the heart, kicked her off the couch, and sneered at her sideways, "Baby girl, Even your filthy body deserves to touch Madam?"

Biying vomited blood, lying on the ground gasping for breath, then turned to look at me, her eyes filled with ashes.

My waist and legs were fixed with a clamp, and the board hit my butt firmly. The pain gradually blocked all my words.

Just when I was in so much pain that I was thinking about how to reverse the case after torture, Biying suddenly shouted: "Madam please stop them, I have something to say."

Madam gave an order, and the blood-stained board stopped.I looked at Biying with tears in my eyes.

This noble and pure Biying, when she was accused of stealing and tortured with a cane, and her skin was bruised, she never begged for mercy, but now she bowed her head to others for me and suffered all kinds of insults.

I laughed out loud, feeling the sorrow of the little people, as expected, they are nothing more than ants, life and death are taken away in the hands of the powerful.

I was very sad and angry, and tried my best to say: "Biying, now people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat. There is no need to ask them anymore. Letting them beat me to death will also chill the hearts of many righteous people. I want to see if I become a ghost." , who else would dare to help the Yuan family take over the world?"

Biying looked at me with a sad smile, "Mujin, my family has fallen since I was a child. Both my parents died, and my only family property was taken by my uncle. My aunt sold me to Xi'an. I have seen all the cruelty of the world along the way, and I don't want to be punished." I was framed by someone, and I suffered from typhoid fever again. I wanted to die, but I took care of you and my brothers and sisters, so I survived to this day. I didn’t expect that I would not only be unable to repay you, but also drag you to this point. From this point of view, I can only, only I can form a grass ring in the next life."

I was so hurt that I couldn't speak, but I shouted in my heart: Biying, don't do stupid things!
She respectfully kowtowed to Madam, looked at Madam and said: "Madam, Mu Jin is a rare and kind woman who is kind and righteous, and she will definitely not do such a thing that hurts the Lord. Biying is willing to sacrifice this life Come to prove her innocence, Madam, please enlighten me." After she finished speaking, without looking at me again, she slammed into the stone pillar.

No one expected her to act like this, and it was too late to stop her.I hissed and called Biying's name, but I couldn't move.
