Spring River Flower Moon Night: Set of 2 Volumes

Chapter 96: Deep Courtyard (5)
Governor Yang trembled with anger, "Just because of this, you harmed Liu Er and made her unconscious for three years?"

Xiao He glanced at Governor Yang and said, "That's right, it's because of this..." She pointed at Fei Xiao viciously and said, "We are all of the same age, why should she be rich and well-fed, why should she be Pampered? Why is this world so unfair?"

"What makes me hate the most is that three years ago, Mr. Liu's family came to propose marriage, but just seeing her face, he was so fascinated... I like him so much, but he didn't even look at me." He said, lowering his head and wiping away his tears, "Humanity: The song is wrong, Zhou Langgu, I waited beside him, the tea was poured out, but he had no time to look at me..."

Everyone was stunned by the jealousy in the girl's eyes and her self-pity. No one thought that these little things in life would make her murderous.

"What about you, miss, you thought Mr. Liu was stupid and refused this marriage. Did you know that he became depressed and became ill later, and he couldn't afford it, and died in autumn?" After she finished speaking, she sneered twice, "You Killing my sweetheart, I want you to suffer like him, so I found a way to harm you."

Wang Zijin couldn't help being startled when he heard that, Liu Er didn't even have the character Liu Gongzi in his memory, but he almost lost his life because of this jealous maid.

Governor Yang was very angry when he heard this, "Xiao He, you, you are too vicious..."

Unexpectedly, Xiao He continued to sneer, "I'm afraid I'm not the only one who is vicious? The girl has become like this, someone is as happy as me."

Her eyes were like knives, and she kept aiming at Fu Rong, the concubine's wife.

"Furong? What's going on here?" Governor Yang looked at his wife not stupidly.

"No, nothing." Furong replied tremblingly, her tone full of fear.

At this moment, Xiao He suddenly rushed towards Fei Xiao on the bed as if she had gone crazy, and screamed: "Even if I die, I can't leave you alone in this world."

Presumably she saw that there was no good end for her, and she wanted to drag the hated person into the water.

This happened so quickly that Governor Yang and his wife were stunned in fright. Wang Zijin yelled "No" and went to stop him, but he only caught a corner of his clothes.

Seeing Xiao He grabbing the steel knife and throwing herself on the bed, everyone couldn't help being dumbfounded.

"Liu'er!" Governor Yang yelled loudly, almost fainting.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xiao He's body threw herself on the bed, it bounced back lightly like a rag, and fell to the ground.

She saw a look of fear on her face, but the sharp knife went somewhere. This happened too fast, how Xiao He made a move, and how the knife was taken away, but no one saw clearly.

Xiao He pointed to the depth of the curtain and said tremblingly: "You, you are not a girl, who are you?"

As soon as she said this, Governor Yang and Fu Rong were both taken aback, but they saw that the curtain was lifted, and Fei Xiao, dressed in white, walked out of the bed with a smile on her face.He was playing with a dagger between his long fingers, which was exactly the one Xiao He took just now.

Seeing that he had been exposed, the prince hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "This is a friend of mine. Thanks to his help, the truth of this matter came to light."

The other three couldn't help being dumbfounded when they saw Feixiao's and Liu'er's identical faces.

Fei Xiao bowed to Governor Yang and his wife, "Xiaosheng's surname is Hu, and he has learned some Taoist spells. I hope you two will not take offense."

Seeing this, Governor Yang was sweating profusely, and hurriedly asked, "Where is Liu'er? Where did you get Liu'er?"

Feixiao smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I'll return Liu'er to you right now." He walked up to Fu Rong, "Madam, please give me the magic doll, and I'll wake Liu'er right away."

Fu Rong turned pale with fright, and asked tremblingly, "Liu, Liu Er, will she really wake up..."

"Fu Rong, give him the doll quickly..." Governor Yang scratched his head anxiously, wishing his daughter would recover quickly.

Now that the matter was over, she had no choice but to hand over the doll to Fei Xiao tremblingly.The prince was inexplicably terrified when he saw her, and was very puzzled. Could it be that this lady doesn't want Liu'er to wake up?

Fei Xiao picked up the puppet and chanted a few incantations, wisps of white smoke rose from the paper talisman on the puppet, and it burned out of thin air.After the talisman paper was burned, Feixiao stretched out her long fingers again, and pulled out a strand of black hair from its body.

"This is what took away Liu'er's soul, it's all right now." He said with a relaxed smile.

Wang Zijin also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but almost at the same time the doll was destroyed, he heard a soft and piercing voice behind him.

"Mr. Liu, does this tea taste good?" I saw Xiao He sitting on the ground, holding tea in his hand, smiling on his lips, revealing the tenderness of a little girl, and talking nonsense.

"What's the matter?" Governor Yang was terrified, and quickly asked Fei Xiao.

Fei Xiao sighed for a long time, and said: "Usually casters fight with their own lives. Now that the spell is broken, all the spells will be transferred to the caster."

"Mr. Liu, don't get burned..." Xiao He said, as if wiping the spilled tea for someone she couldn't see, her eyes were full of love, as if Mr. Liu whom she adored was right in front of her.

When the prince saw her like this, he couldn't help feeling sad, maybe it was good, the memory of this vicious girl had stayed in the happiest moment of her life.

Just when everyone's eyes were on Xiao He, a leisurely female voice sounded from behind the screen.

"The hibiscus flower in the past is now a rootless grass. How long will it be good to serve others with sex..." Furong trembled out of thin air, while Wang Zijin and Governor Yang looked excitedly at the screen.

I saw a beautiful girl with long hair shawl and wearing a white veil nightgown, struggling to come out from behind the screen.

Wang Zijin saw that she had been ill for a long time and had already forgotten how to walk, so he hurried up to help her.

But Fu Rong took a step back, with a stiff smile on her face, "Liu'er, are you awake?"

Liu Er leaned on Wang Zijin, without even looking at her, her bright eyes could only linger on Wang Zijin's delicate and elegant face, "My lord, I know how you treat me, thank you so much... ..."

"Liu'er, you're finally healed! I've been worrying about you for my father these past few years..." Governor Yang burst into tears and wanted to help his daughter.

"Father, didn't you feel sorry for my mother?" Unexpectedly, Liu'er looked at him with tears in her big bright eyes.

"Liu'er, what do you mean by that?" Governor Yang asked.

Fu Rong, who was standing behind him, quietly turned her head away, her face ashen.

"My mother died suddenly overnight, don't you have any doubts?" Liu'er raised her head, staring at Fu Rong with a pair of wonderful eyes, the hatred in her eyes almost gushed out.

"Liu'er, what do you know? Hurry up and tell Dad." Governor Yang urged again and again, his cheeks turned red due to the ups and downs of emotions.

"This is a secret I've kept for ten years. I wanted to tell you after I got married, but now that someone has plotted against me, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to tell my father if it drags on..." She cried out of breath , said to Governor Yang, "When I was seven years old, my mother was seriously ill..."

"That's right, your mother died because of that wind and cold."

"That day, Xiaohe cooked the medicine and put it in my room. I didn't know what to do. Everyone thought that there was no one in the room, but they didn't know that I was hiding under the table."

"And then..." Governor Yang asked tremblingly.

The hearts of Fei Xiao and Wang Zijin were also mentioned in their throats, and the night was full of tension.

"I saw the door was pushed open, a pair of shoes embroidered with peony flowers walked to the table, stopped for a while and then backed out, and the news of mother's death came out that night..." Listening to Liu'er's description, Wang Zijin went to the table again. Thinking of what I saw in the illusion that day, the peonies on the embroidered shoes were as frightening as flowers from hell.

Liu'er couldn't take it anymore, and burst into tears, "But I was too young at the time, and I didn't realize until I grew up that my mother was poisoned to death..."

"Then, who is the owner of the embroidered shoes?" Governor Yang asked tremblingly, as if he had aged a lot in an instant.

"Father, at this time, do you still want to protect her? Mother treats you so well, is it just because she is old that you abandon her like a piece of trash?"

Governor Yang suddenly felt struck by lightning, and looked at Fu Rong tremblingly.

She loves to wear embroidered shoes the most. Peonies, peonies, and white orchids all bloomed on her embroidered shoes. In the past, he was extremely infatuated with her jade feet, but he never dreamed that this elegant and unique hobby would become evidence of crime. .

"Furong..." Governor Yang burst into tears without saying a word, and he was unwilling to admit that she was the murderer of his wife.

"Master...I'm sorry for you." Fu Rong was already sobbing, obviously acquiescing to the crime.

"Fu Rong, why is this?" Governor Yang burst into tears.

Furong cried bitterly to Liu'er, and said softly: "At the beginning your mother pushed me too fast. I was born in a brothel, and no one in my family knew about it, but she didn't give me a chance to be a man again, saying that if I didn't get me If I was kicked out of the house, she would let me die with the master, and even force me to drink poison, so that I would not be able to have my own children for the rest of my life..." She cried even more sadly, "Yes, I am a kabuki, but so is a kabuki Humans also have the right to strive for happiness, but she wants to deprive even this bit of happiness."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Governor Yang with tears in her eyes, "And if the master is to be killed because of me, it's better to let me die..."

"Then you poisoned my mother? Doesn't my mother have the right to live?" Liu'er sneered, tears filled with hatred, "And what about my happiness? What right do you have to take it away?"

Fu Rong tremblingly said: "In the past ten years, I haven't had a good day. This crime is like a big stone, pressing on my heart every day. I treat you like my own child, and I have never treated you badly..."

"Do you think that I won't hate you?" Liu'er cried, "I will never forget those embroidered shoes and my mother's black face when she died."

Governor Yang burst into tears for a moment, took Fu Rong's hand and said, "Fu Rong, why are you so confused, what should I do?"

"Father, you know the truth, so you still can't bear to report it to the government?" Seeing that Governor Yang's heart softened, and the light in her beautiful eyes suddenly faded, she held Wang Zijin's hand tightly, and said decisively, "I, I will marry the king right now. Young master, I will never come back from now on, to fulfill you as a couple of gods and immortals. I will never forget that my mother also married you at the most beautiful time, but ended up in such a miserable end..."

Madam Furong looked at Governor Yang, she smiled with tears, and her beautiful face showed a satisfied expression, "The happiest time of Furong is the days with the master. When I saw the master for the first time in the painting boat, I fell in love with him." Now that Furong has done something wrong, may the master forgive me?"

When Governor Yang heard her mention the past, he recalled the spring day when the two first met. The deep hatred seemed to disintegrate with the lingering spring breeze.

"Furong, no matter how many wrong things you do, I won't hate you..." Governor Yang sympathetically helped her straighten her sideburns, his eyes full of love.

Liu'er was shocked, and looked at Wang Zijin and Fei Xiao with a wry smile, "Please take me away, you two, I don't want to stay in this house any longer."

The tone is flat, but it breaks the heart.

Madam Furong turned to Liu'er, and said softly: "Liu'er, I'm sorry for you. Over the years, I have always had a heart of redemption. Although I am alive, I have never had a happy day. Even so, you have never been happy. Will you forgive me?"

Liu'er shook her head and smiled, "I won't."

Fu Rong's complexion changed suddenly, she smiled wryly and said to Governor Yang: "Fu Rong's hands are covered with blood, I'm afraid I won't be able to grow old with the master..."

"How do you say that?" Before Governor Yang could finish his question, Fu Rong pushed him away, picked up the dagger that Xiao He had dropped, and stabbed him in the stomach.

None of them expected that she would commit suicide suddenly, and they were all shocked. After they realized it, Fu Rong had fallen to the ground, blood gushing out, staining the brocade skirt red, and it was obvious that she would not survive.

I saw her spurting blood and looking expectantly at Liu'er's bright face, "Now... Liu'er, will you forgive me?"

Liu'er didn't expect that she would commit suicide and apologize, so she couldn't help being moved, but she still replied with tears in her eyes: "Do you think that I will forgive you..."

When Furong heard her say this, the brilliance in her beautiful eyes gradually disappeared, and she had a sad look on her face. When Governor Yang saw her, he hugged her quickly, "Furong, I will find the best doctor to rescue you right away." ..."

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to pick up Fu Rong, a gust of warm blood gushed out from the wound, soaking his clothes instantly.

Madam Furong stretched out a bloody hand and straightened his hair, "Master, look, my hands are covered in blood, I'm going to make amends, and now I'm leaving my master alone in this world. Master won't blame me, will he?"

Governor Yang was sobbing so hard that he shook his head vigorously.

Seeing Liu'er, she was extremely exhausted, and said to the prince, "Young master, take me away..."

Seeing this scene, the prince didn't know what to do, "Is this really true?"

"That's still false, I'm leaving now, I'm leaving soon..."

When Wang Zijin saw her resolute attitude, he looked at Fei Hong again, who nodded to him, this situation was really beyond his expectation, everything in the world was beyond his comprehension and control.

Wang Zijin had no choice but to pick up Liu Er and walk towards the gate.Governor Yang just hugged Fu Rong, who was dying, and didn't even look at his daughter.

Wang Zijin saluted him and said, "Governor Yang, Liu'er is coming with me..."

Fu Rong, who was about to die, just stared at Liu'er, but couldn't say a word. On her pale face, two lines of tears flowed down silently.Wang Zijin felt that she was very pitiful, and couldn't bear to look at her anymore, so he hurriedly hugged Liu'er and left.

Walking to the door, I saw Xiao He sitting on the threshold with her knees hugged and singing a song: "Altair is far away, a Han girl in the Jiaojiao River. There is a river full of water, and I can't speak... Mr. Liu, is my song good?"

One is crazy, the other is dead, it is a tragedy on earth.Wang Zijin couldn't bear to watch anymore, and left with Liu'er in his arms.After walking a few steps in the corridor, I heard Governor Yang shouting in the room behind me: "Furong!"

The voice was very mournful, and it echoed in the empty corridor for a long time. It was known that Mrs. Furong had ascended to heaven.

Liu'er hid in his arms, twitching like a cat, the prince said, "Liu'er, don't cry..."

"Who said I cried..." She replied carefully, unwilling to admit it.

Wang Zijin felt that the skirt of his chest was soaked by her tears, and the warm tears quickly cooled in the autumn wind, as if the cold had reached the bottom of his heart, making him feel that the square inch of his chest was like frozen ice, and he could not feel any warmth.

"Zi Jin, let's go back." Fei Xiao seemed to sense his chill, and patted his hand.

"Okay!" Wang Zijin nodded, holding Liu'er in the courtyard with falling leaves, and walked towards the quiet city of Yangzhou at night.

The courtyard behind is deep, like a huge tomb, trapping infatuated women. They picked up sharp knives or poison for the sake of love, but were buried by their own sins in the end.

Xiaohe's mournful singing seemed to be heard in the wind, this time she sang Li Houzhu's words: Rouge tears, keep people intoxicated, when will it be heavy?

People grow up and hate water.
