Bianjing little doctor

Chapter 558 Strange Old Woman
Shen Guangdong thought about it, shaking his head.

"This person acts upright, advances and retreats with evidence, does not stick to trivial matters, and has the attitude of a modest gentleman who excels at others. He is very respected on the twelfth floor."

Fu Jiuqu smiled.

No emotion could be seen under the calm face, but Shen Guangdong felt displeasure.

He didn't like to listen to Kua Yudu's words.

Shen Guangdong hesitated for a moment, and said with an apologetic smile: "Yu Du didn't find out anything wrong, but his mother gave people a sneaky feeling of hiding her head and showing her tail."

Fu Jiuqu looked at him, "Have you found anything?"

Shen Guangdong stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes slowly.

"This Yu family comes and goes alone. Except for Yu Du and Yu Mei, she never sees strangers, and rarely communicates with her neighbors. She almost never leaves Mill Lane, and hangs around her house all day long. But she is extremely cautious, and she must be careful when going out. Lock it carefully, sprinkle incense ash on the corners of the windows in the courtyard, and don’t rush to open the door when you get home, but sit on the eaves and watch, and you have to wait at least a quarter of an hour before entering the house..."

He paused, frowning.

"Also, the saponins in Yu's back basket have never been sold. First, the mill alley is remote, and few people care about it. Second, even if someone comes up to ask the price, she just ignores it and doesn't even raise her head. Obviously It's not intentional to sell..."

Having said that, he glanced at Fu Jiuqu for a while.

"In these few days, the only person she has ever answered is the daughter of the princess of the county."

It's not strange that a woman with deep burns to the point of disfiguring her face and being burdened with such a case dared not behave in an upright manner. The blame lies in her behavior, which makes people suspicious.

Fu Jiuqu said: "Calm down, if you don't see a rabbit, don't scatter the eagle."

Shen Guangdong cupped his hands, "I understand the humble job."

Seeing that Fu Jiuqu was silent, Shen Guangdong said again: "There will be a performance on the twelfth floor tonight, prepared for the half-year festival. Yu Du will be on stage with the musicians. Is the king interested in going there together?"

Fu Jiuqu: "No need. You send someone to keep an eye on them and report anything."

Shen Guangdong nodded in response.

He said again: "Humble job actually wants to take this opportunity to get into Yu's house in Mill Lane and find out what's true."

Without Yudu at home, without an eye and an eye, the timing is just right.

Fu Jiuqu grasped this case very tightly, and Shen Guangdong thought he would not refuse, but unexpectedly, Fu Jiuqu pondered for a moment, but still shook his head.

"I have something important tonight. You can arrange it, don't startle the snake..."

Shen Guangdong glanced at Fu Jiuqu's suddenly ambiguous expression, and slowly cupped his hands.

"Yes."

This season is so hot that it seems to melt the whole city.

At the intersection of Mill Lane, an old pagoda tree shaded the scorching sun and was blooming desperately. The white buds exuded a sweet fragrance, covering the alley cool and dark.

A haggard woman with a bent and thin body was sitting on the blue brick steps, her face was mostly blocked by the blue and black cloth scarf on the straw hat, so she couldn't see clearly.

She has been sitting here for a long time, and everyone passing by will see her.

People she knew stayed away from her, not daring to take a second look at her grimace.

People who don't know each other occasionally approached her to see what she was selling, but when they touched her face and hands like chicken feet, their eyes flicked away quickly, and even more timid children screamed in fright, as if they had seen a ghost. run away...

After most of the day, no one bought the dried saponins in her back basket, only a curious and bold person asked the price, but the old woman seemed to be asleep, with her head down, sitting motionless. On the low stool, he didn't raise his head until the man left, staring at the long alley with no expression...

As if, expecting her buyer.

At nightfall, the old woman put on her pannier, walked slowly along the cobblestone path, and returned home.

Gently placing the pannier under the eaves, she sat down.

Looking at the way he came, he was silent as usual.

The night shrouded the sky, making the humble house even lower.

Every house in the alley was lit up, only the house behind the old woman was pitch black, like a lonely grave.

After sitting there for an unknown amount of time, the old woman patted the bluestone steps, squatted down and pushed the door open, then closed it behind her back.

"I am back."

The room was empty and no one responded.

She fumbled for the fire bag, lighted it gently, lit the oil lamp, and walked towards the dark inner room with her hand, her steps were still slow, but her face was more accommodating than ever, the face was distorted by the burnt There was even a treacherous smile on his face.

"I am back……"

She repeated it again, as if speaking to a family member.

But there was clearly no one in the room.

The old woman walked to the bed step by step, held the oil lamp for a while, and suddenly sighed.

"Hey, I haven't been at home with you all day, are you angry?"

She hung the oil lamp on the eaves and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"It's hard to be alone at home, isn't it?"

No one responded.

Shen Guangdong hid under the window sill, slowly raised his head...

The old lady sat there, caressing the quilt tenderly, patting and rubbing it from time to time, the slow movements, like treating a beloved treasure, and her eyes showed a state of obsession.

Looking at the unknown void, telling her love.

The bean-sized flames flickered and flickered, the light was horribly dim, and that strange scene was inexplicably terrifying, making Shen Guangdong shudder and his hairs stand on end...

Master Zhizhou and his wife have been fighting for a long time.

Fu Jiuqu was busy with the official duties in the front hall, and he didn't go to other places except Jinfengyuan. Xin Yi spent most of his time raising babies in Tianshui Pavilion, and he didn't care about trivial matters. exhausted.

Xin Yi leaned on the beauty's couch, listening to the two stewards report through the screen, lazily said:
"Let them go."

What a pleasure to have the rare opportunity to lie flat.

If it was her, it would probably be the same.

Xin Yi understands servants, but the steward doesn't understand her.

"You mustn't do it, my lady."

The steward knew that Xin Yi was pregnant and was alienated by her husband, which made her depressed and restless, but she was also very anxious because of this, and advised Xin Yi one by one, asking her to show the momentum of being the mistress and manage the house for the county king. , When the child is born, there is a chance to win the heart of her husband.

Yan Guanshi said: "The so-called husband and wife quarrel at the end of the bed, most of them are for the children. No matter how hard-hearted people are, there is no one who does not love the children. When the little master is born, the county king's heart will soften half. Pregnant with Liujia and working tirelessly to arrange family affairs and manage the back house in an orderly manner, how can there be any anger?"

He Guanshi hurriedly picked up, "Strict management is right, the lady must not relax, if you really lose the heart of the county king because of this, then it will be too late to regret..."

The two stewards are earnest.

Xin Yi looked at Geng Mo and sighed.

"If the county king's people don't come, what's the use of my heart? Forget it, I understand what you two mean. You are right, the responsibility of managing the house will be entrusted to you..."

"Miss..."

The two stewards spoke out in unison, heartbroken.

"Don't be so negligent."

Xin Yi: "Go back and get busy, I'm tired and want to rest for a while."

"Ugh!"

After a long sigh, the steward bowed his hands and said goodbye.

After the sound of footsteps disappeared, Xin Yi slowly got up and called Taoyu to prepare water for a bath.

After a while, I made an appointment with Fu Jiuqu to meet her. If she didn't tidy up early, the maids wouldn't go down to rest. They stayed here, so they couldn't talk.

She was heavy and moved slowly, and it was an hour after she got ready to lie down.

However, Xingyuan and Taoyu refused to leave for a long time, and wanted to watch her fall asleep, and Xin Yi said something nicely, and then sent everyone away.

Clean up the room.

Xin Yi was really tired, he lay down for a while, and then forced himself to get up.

As soon as he lifted the curtain, went to open the window, a figure appeared in front of his eyes, rushed in like a tiger, pushed her body to the side, closed the window, and extinguished the light.

It was suddenly dark.

Xin Yi was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"Hush..." Fu Jiuqu gently took her into his arms, suppressing his voice, "Those dogs are following me..."

damn thing?
Xin Yi was taken aback, and was about to ask who he was talking about, when suddenly there was a burst of neat footsteps outside.The voice sounded like the guards of Tianshui Pavilion. They surrounded the courtyard and moved neatly, without giving Fu Jiuqu a moment to breathe...

Then, there was a knock on Xin Yi's door.

Boom boom boom!
Xingyuan called outside.

"Is the lady asleep? Guard Duan said that an assassin broke into the Tianshui Pavilion and asked if the lady is okay?"

　At the beginning of the new year, I caught a cold again. After taking medicine, my mind was dizzy all day (covering face)...

　　Sisters take good care of your body, it's too hard to be sick
