After Gao married the prince, the sick and weak concubine lost her horse

Chapter 296 Chapter 296
Shen Qingci thought about a few days ago, when she came over to the gazebo in the back garden, she saw Mrs. Yu and Sun Zhiyue getting along fairly well.

Moreover, at that time, Sun Zhiyue's expression did not show any clues, and her body was also healthy.

This person...why did he disappear?
The point is, it's still at her own home.

When Shen Qingci looked at Sun Zhiyue before, it wasn't that he didn't know anything about what Sun Zhijing was planning, and even she and Sun Zhili might be Sun Zhijing's errands.

Since we are in the same group, how could there be such a sudden change.

Moreover, it was obvious that her method of death was unusual, and Biyu Bitao seemed to have been frightened stupid.

Shen Qingci asked: "Why not? Sudden illness?"

The two maids shook their heads repeatedly, but refused to disclose more information.

Shen Qingci walked to the window, glanced at the servant who was guarding far outside the courtyard gate, and closed the window as soon as he raised his hand.

There is only a half-open door, so you can see the outside scene, but it is difficult for people outside to get a glimpse of the inside.

Shen Qingci lowered his voice and said: "I'm just curious, let's forget it after hearing it, I won't spread it everywhere, if you know the inside story, you may as well tell me, I will never mention it to other members of the Sun family."

Hearing this, Biyu and Bitao showed hesitation.

In the end, it was the bold Biyu who turned her head and glanced outside, then moved closer to Shen Qingci and said in a slightly lowered voice: "I heard that you are...bewitched by an evil spirit."

"Yesterday, the fifth girl came back from the outside and was not very well. I heard from the people in Qingfangyuan that she was frightened. At that time, she even invited the doctor to take a look."

"It's just that she is young after all, and the doctor didn't say anything else. In addition to the heavy rain last night, not many people know about it."

"I never thought that she would suddenly get up in the middle of the night last night, talking nonsense, and tormenting the maids around her. Finally, it subsided. The maids were so tired that they fell into a deep sleep. Unexpectedly... When I got up early this morning, I saw Miss Wu hanging on the beam..."

This kind of thing is a secret no matter who it is.

Because of the commotion last night, many people in the Sun's residence knew about it, but when they heard that it was a bewitching, and the people disappeared like that, everyone's expressions changed, and the masters above had already died. It was ordered to block the news, so no one would dare to mention this.

To the outside world, it was only said to be a sudden and serious illness.

Just like what Shen Qingci said before.

If it wasn't for remembering Shen Qingci's kindness of saving her in front of Sun Zhijing before, Biyu would not have dared to speak out.

"Miss Zhou, the slaves are just talking about it to you. It's fine if you've heard it, but don't say it's the slaves who said it."

Biyu was terrified, and did not forget to wink at Bitao beside her.

Shen Qingci nodded, turned around and grabbed a handful of golden melon seeds from his bag, and shared half between them.

She was kidnapped by Gu Qiuli this time, so she didn't bring any jewelry, and those things are too eye-catching, and they are not suitable for rewarding people right now.

The things in this package were prepared by Sheng Tingye's people later.

This weight is not light, especially for maids like them who only have a few dollars a month.

Jasper and Bitao were naturally flattered.

Biyu had also benefited from Shen Qingci before, so knowing that Shen Qingci was generous, although she was pleasantly surprised, she was not too surprised.

On the other hand, Bi Tao, holding the golden melon seeds in her hand, didn't recover for a long time.

Shen Qingci smiled, and kindly reminded: "Everyone is innocent and guilty, I rewarded you with other large banknotes or jewelry, but it will cause you trouble, but the golden melon seeds are not bad."

"You just hide it well and don't reveal your wealth easily. If you have the opportunity in the future, you can redeem yourself and go out to start a small business, or marry someone to add makeup to the bottom of the box. It's better than being a cow and a horse in this mansion."

After these few days of getting along, she certainly could see how strict the Sun family was with their servants.

If the family is capable, how can they sell their daughter into this tiger and wolf den.

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the two maids who were ecstatic over the golden melon seeds just now turned red.

They couldn't tell that Shen Qingci was thinking of them out of good intentions.

Compared to the clever Biyu, the taciturn Bitao burst into tears, choked up and said, "The slave girl was originally a girl from a good family, but during the time of natural disasters, there was a famine at home, and my younger brother was seriously ill and couldn't afford to hire a doctor. In desperation, Ah Yecai sold me into the Sun family."

Even if it is unavoidable, but the practice of selling one to save the other, as the one being sold, I feel somewhat resentful in my heart.

What's more, over the years, the family conditions have gradually improved. Except for asking her for monthly money from time to time, no one has ever mentioned the matter of ransom for her.

It was Shen Qingci, an outsider, who considered her so much.

At the end, Bi Tao could hardly cry, but she was afraid of being heard by the guards outside, so she raised her hand to cover her mouth with all her strength, and leaned her body behind the door as much as possible so that no one outside could see her.

Bi Tao also talked about the last time she was rescued by Shen Qingci.

At the end, the two of them held the golden melon seeds and knelt down towards Shen Qingci: "My maidservant, thank Mrs. Zhou for her great kindness!"

Shen Qingci, who won over the hearts of the people, stepped forward with a smile and supported one with one hand.

"Okay, okay, be careful that there are people watching outside."

"Just like what Biyu said to me just now, just pretend it's not the case."

Biyu Bitao quickly got up and put away the golden melon seeds, and quickly wiped away the tears on her face, for fear that people outside would see it.

The torrential rain has stopped, but the sky is overcast, and it seems that the next squall is still brewing.

After Shen Qingci had breakfast, he stepped out of the house: "I've been in the house for two days, it's so boring, I'm going out for a walk, by the way..."

Go and see Sun Zhiyue.

The Sun family would definitely not let her see people.

As a guest, Shen Qingci should go to express condolences.

Sun Zhiyue lives in the Qingfangyuan to the south.

Because she has not yet left the cabinet and is a junior, according to the customs, it is not appropriate to make a big fuss about her funeral.

But in the Qingfang Courtyard, there was also a summoning show, and the maidservants in a courtyard were dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, and the crying could already be heard from a distance.

Some craftsmen transported the timber and built coffins in the yard.

Before Shen Qingci approached, he was stopped by someone.

"Miss Zhou, the mage said that the time for the fifth girl to go is not good, and she is afraid of bumping into others, so no one can get close except for the maids in her yard."

Yu called Shen Qingci to a stop from afar.

Although Shen Qingci's kick was heavy, it didn't kill him. Apart from the gash on the back of his hand, Sun Zhiyan's body was fine.

Therefore, seeing Shen Qingci again, Yu Shi was able to put on the gentle and friendly face before.

Shen Qingci sighed and said: "Since the person has gone, my Madam mourns."

It's fine if she doesn't talk about it, but as soon as she mentioned it, Yu's eyes were red and she couldn't help wiping away tears.

"Although this child is not my own, I have always regarded it as my own. The relationship between our wife and I is also very good. I never thought... I never thought... How come heaven and man are separated forever..."

Yu Shi cried sadly.

Shen Qingci spoke a few more words of persuasion, and finally she regained her composure.

"By the way, Mrs. Zhou, I only realized what happened on that day after the fact. It was the fault of my foolish son. The poor mother at that time lost her mind when she saw her son was injured, and almost offended Mrs. Zhou. , and please Miss Zhou don't care about me like I do."

Saying that, she bowed to salute Shen Qingci.

Shen Qingci hurriedly raised his hand to stop, "It's all a misunderstanding. Madam is also eager to love her son, and she was also kept in the dark. Moreover, I am living in your house now, and I have already accepted Madam's great kindness. It is too late to be grateful. How can I be grateful?" There might be resentment."

Hearing Shen Qingci's words, Yu Shi was slightly relieved.

Over there there was a manager waiting for Shi Yu to make a decision, so Shen Qingci exchanged a few words with her before getting up and leaving.

A garden that has been under heavy rain is like a new life.

The evergreen vegetation becomes more verdant after being washed with water.

Many bare winter jasmine trees have also pulled out their branches, coupled with the blowing wind, mixed with the earthy smell of the garden, it only makes people feel refreshed.

Just a little cold.

Shen Qingci only brought Biyu out.

The two came out from Qingfangyuan and went directly to the back garden.

There was still water on the gazebo chairs.

The servants of the Sun family are all busy with Sun Zhiyue's funeral. Even if there is no need for a grand burial, as the fifth girl of the Sun family, she cannot be buried hastily.

Therefore, no one cared about cleaning the back garden, and no one came at all.

Shen Qingci stood for a while, and vaguely heard footsteps coming from the south corridor.

She coughed dryly, and said to Biyu, "I'm getting cold, go get me a cloak."

After speaking, Shen Qing paused, and said again: "Send it to the Huxin Pavilion, the scenery there is beautiful, I will walk all the way there, and wait for you there."

Biyu, who had benefited from her, did her best, without a single complaint, immediately turned around and walked out from the crescent arch in the north, and walked towards Jinxiu Xuan.

Shen Qingci then followed out of the Crescent Arch.

But she didn't leave in a hurry, but bypassed the rockery, took advantage of a clump of asparagus as a cover, deftly shrugged off the shadow that was following her secretly, and then turned back to the garden unexpectedly.

After this movement, when she came back again, the footsteps from the south barely stopped at the exit of the corridor.

Shen Qingci made sure that there was no sign of anyone following her around, so she bent down and hid in the bushes at her feet.

The branches and leaves that had just rained were stained with water, and Shen Qingci just touched them slightly, and the water droplets splashed everywhere.

Thanks to her quick movements and sharp ears, and her hiding place is still some distance from the exit of the corridor, no matter how sharp-eyed the other party is, they can't see the bushes at a glance, let alone her hiding behind.

Only here did she hold her breath when she heard the footsteps stop.

There were two people who came, their footsteps were light and heavy.

If it was someone else, of course it wouldn't be worth Shen Qingci's trouble to listen to the corner, because she could vaguely hear Sun Zhijing's voice because she was far away.

Therefore, it is guessed that someone from Sun Zhijing came to this garden.

I don't know who he took with him.

But anyway, he couldn't get close to Yiyuan casually, and he couldn't think of other ways to find out about Sun Zhijing, so it wouldn't hurt to listen here.

Shen Qingci made up his mind, but the people over there had already opened their mouths.

"why?"

"It's you, right?"

As soon as this remark came out, Shen Qingci was a little surprised, but thinking about what he saw and heard in the Sun's family these few days, it was not surprising.

It was Yu Shi who spoke.

And her two questions... are they talking about Sun Zhiyue's death?

Before Shen Qingci could think about it, Yu Shi had already gritted his teeth and continued: "Who else has such abilities except you! How could she be possessed by evil spirits when she is so good!"

The voice just fell, but Sun Zhijing who heard it said coldly: "Yes, so what?"

Although it was already expected that Sun Zhiyue's death should be related to Sun Zhijing, Shen Qingci was still very surprised to hear the answer from his mouth.

Yu's reaction was even stronger: "She is your own sister!"

Hearing this, Sun Zhijing sneered.

"Mother may have forgotten that it is my own father who is lying in the Renhe Hall and cannot move."

Hearing these words, Shen Qingci's little heart almost jumped out.

She had guessed that Sun Huai'an's illness was something strange, but she never thought that it was Sun Zhijing's handwriting.

He was able to attack his biological father, his sister, who was a compatriot, and he did not show mercy to Sun Zhiyan and Yu Shi.

This Sun Zhijing... what kind of person is he!

Even the two ruthless brothers in the royal family, Sheng Tingjing and Sheng Tingzhao, were younger brothers compared to him.

Although frightened, Shen Qingci still held her breath, even if they were close at hand, she could see their figures through the gaps in the leaves of the bushes just by raising her eyelids a little, but she didn't know Sun Zhijing's identity Deep and shallow, and I don't know if he has a stronger master guard than her in the dark.

In order to prevent exposure, except for the ears, Shen Qingci held back the other five senses, trying to reduce his sense of existence as much as possible.

At this time, Sun Zhijing's words also made Yu's breath choked, she almost couldn't stand still, panting: "Yeah, I forgot, you can even kill your own father!"

"Sun Zhijing, will Zhiyan and I follow in their footsteps one day?"

Mrs. Yu may not be sincerely sad for Sun Zhiyue's death, but her fear of the ending is real.

Under the anger and fear, her voice trembled a little.

Sun Zhijing smiled slightly, and his tone was as gentle as jade in front of others: "Whatever mother said, the Sun family is still supported by mother, and I am already protecting the third brother."

Before Mrs. Yu could react, Sun Zhijing reminded: "Otherwise, because he offended Mrs. Zhou, there is still a chance for him to live?"

As soon as the words fell, Yu's complexion was as pale as paper.

Sun Zhijing looked at Mrs. Yu, as if nothing had happened, and said gently and considerately as always: "I know that the death of Fifth Sister has caused my mother to be devastated, and she almost lost her sense of proportion, but people cannot be resurrected after death. The Sun’s family is still supported by his mother, and the third brother is still waiting for his mother to plan his future for him, so the mother should be stronger."

These words, coupled with this tone... This is not comforting Mrs. Yu.

This is clearly using Sun Zhiyan to threaten the Yu family.

Mrs. Yu couldn't say a word for a long time, but Sun Zhijing didn't say anything anymore. He glanced at Mrs. Yu, turned around and left.

But before he could take a few steps, he saw a black figure climb over the courtyard wall and land in front of him.

"Master, the Zhou family is gone."
