Chapter 124 The Reason for Miss Li's Drowning

The time with An Chengshao always passed quickly, but after returning to Su's mansion, that soft heart was covered with a shell, and now she is more and more unwilling to stay here, the house is full of ghosts Sensen, except for the third girl from the Su family who hanged herself, I don't know how many people have died.

As soon as Xu Xiuyi went back, she asked about the situation of Yinyu's Mrs. Su Jiang. Yinyu said that Mrs. Su was settled in their second room. Xu Xiuyi took Yinyu with her after cleaning her face.

In the past, it was also a two-bedroom courtyard with infinite scenery, but now it is deserted and deserted, if the house is not lit with candles, there is no smell of people.

Xu Xiuyi pushed the door and went in, Su Jiangshi rushed over instantly and hugged her arm: "Xiuyi, where is Xueying?"

"Second sister-in-law, Xueying is weak, and now she is in the second department of Baoning Hall, and her eldest brother and sister-in-law are taking care of her. Just don't worry, she is fine."

If you tell Su Jiang's Su Xueying that she has malaria, you can't guarantee whether she will go crazy.

She had already lost her two daughters, and in this short period of six months, she could no longer bear any stimulation and torture.

Xu Xiuyi used to be hard-hearted towards her, and the only purpose of approaching her was to let Su Jiangshi be an insider, supervisor Su Jinyi's every move, but now, she couldn't bear it anymore.

She is also a mother. Su Jiang was not a big villain before, but she had a bad mouth. Now she has lost two daughters in a row, and the only one is like this. Xu Xiuyi was really afraid that she would not be able to bear the blow, so she simply didn't say anything.

Hearing Su Jiang's words, Su Da breathed a sigh of relief, but tears soon fell down: "I can't live without Xueying anymore. If she is gone, I really can't live."

"Second sister-in-law, don't worry, elder brother is very skilled in medicine, Xueying just has a little fever and is a little weak, elder brother will be fine after a few days of recuperation."

To Su Jinye, Su Jiang has always been guilty. In the past, she had no good looks towards Da Fang. She felt generous and easy to bully, and even chewed her tongue in front of the old lady's ears every three days to exclude Da Fang. Now that I think about it, she was really a sweet noodle sauce back then. The eyes are blurred and the heart is blurred, so that you can't tell the good from the bad.

"Thank you brother and sister-in-law for me, Xiu Yi, there is one matter, you must make the decision for me."

As she spoke, she knelt down with tears in her eyes, and Xu Xiuyi hurriedly reached out to help her: "Second sister-in-law get up and talk."

Su Jiangshi's eyes were red and swollen from crying, Xu Xiuyi asked Yinyu to go out first, helped Su Jiangshi to sit aside, took out a handkerchief and handed it to Su Jiangshi: "Second sister-in-law, just talk about what it is."

"Xiu Yi, my eldest girl's wish to die."

"Miss Li?"

"A maid secretly told me that she was pushed into the water by the son of that little bitch Yuan Shishi. No matter how naughty my big girl was, she would not jump out to pick lotus flowers. I watched her grow up. I know best, she can't smell the fragrance of flowers, and when she smells it, she feels itchy all over her body, how could she go to fold lotus flowers, how can she go back."

Su Jiangshi burst into tears as she spoke, Xu Xiuyi couldn't hold her still, seeing her crying like that, couldn't help feeling a little sad.

Asking her to talk, Xu Xiuyi remembered that Zi Chen had said that the flowers in Miss Li's room were all fake flowers, because Miss Li couldn't get close to flowers, and when she got close to them, red bumps would appear all over her body, which was extremely itchy.

In the modern sense, this should be hay fever allergy, and a girl in her teens already knows that it is uncomfortable. Since it is hay fever allergy, there is no reason to fold lotus flowers.

"Second sister-in-law, please don't cry, please tell me what happened to Miss Li the day the accident happened."

General Su Jiang held back her tears, and recalled in a hoarse and painful voice: "That morning I was embroidering a bellyband for Xue girl in the room, when I heard the sound of water falling outside, my heart beat violently, and I always felt that something had happened. , I hurriedly put down my work and went out. When I got to the lotus pond, I saw a little man floating in the water with no one around. I called for help. When the servant came, I jumped to pick him up. My girl Li, I fainted right then."

That memory was so painful that she choked up several times and couldn't cry.

"Later, when I woke up, they told me that girl Li was gone, my poor child... I didn't even have time to look at her, so I said that I was afraid that the corpse would stink in the house, and I had found a place with a good geomantic omen to bury her. What kind of geomantic treasure land is there, it is a remote hillside, that bastard Su Jinyuan, that one who killed a thousand knives is so damn cruel, he wants me to take a look at the child anyway."

As Su Jiangshi spoke, she burst into tears again, Xu Xiuyi comforted her patiently, the one who heard it was heartbroken, and the one who said it was even more painful.

Su Jiangshi cried for a while, stopped her tears with sobs, and continued: "Xiu Yi, this matter is definitely not as simple as what Su Jinyi and that bitch told me, they said that Li Ying folded the lotus and fell it , and said that the stones that Liying fell from the edge of the lotus pond were all loose, but I remember clearly that when I went to the lotus pond to see, there was not a single loose and fallen stone on the side, and I still walked along the lotus pond After searching around, I guess I found my Liying's body. If the stone really loosened and fell off and fell into the water, why did I search around? I should have found it a long time ago."

"Second sister-in-law, do you remember clearly?"

"How can I not be clear? They said that the stone was loose, so I went to look around. How could I not have found the big gap at the time, and I had to look around along the lotus pond. Later, a maid was beaten by Yuan Shishi. Quit after a meal, came to me before leaving, and secretly told me that she actually saw Yuan Shishi's thief son playing with Liying that day."

"She said she saw Yuan Shishi's son pushing Miss Li down?"

"I didn't say anything, I just said that we were together by the lotus pond, and the two of them quarreled, because the two children often quarreled, and the servants in the house had long been used to it and didn't care about it, but Liying had an accident not long after that. , you said, if we Liying really fell, why would they want to make a gap here without silver 300 taels?"

If what Su Jiang said is true, then Su Jinyi's move is really 300 taels of silver here.

Xu Xiuyi said: "Can you still meet that girl?"

"It's easy to find. She's from the capital city. Her mother made tofu in a tofu shop. Others call her mother the fourth aunt and fourth sister."

"Second sister-in-law, don't worry about anything else and rest well, Xueying, then you don't have to worry, I'll check what you said tomorrow, and I'll take you to see her later, the child is not in good health, and Jinyuan is going to I don’t have time to take care of my mother, so I will put it in the second section of Baoning Hall and let my eldest brother and sister-in-law take care of it, and you will live at home first, and no one can touch you.”

As soon as Su Jiang's knees softened, she knelt down in front of Xu Xiuyi and kowtowed: "Xiuyi, thank you, if it weren't for you, I really wouldn't be able to live, thank you, everything was wrong with my second sister-in-law in the past, you repay your grievances with kindness, second sister-in-law is serious I feel ashamed in my heart, you should be worshiped by the second sister-in-law three times here."

Xu Xiuyi hastily helped her up, with a gentle expression: "Second sister-in-law, you can't do it, the past is over, second sister-in-law, you have to be strong for Xueying's sake, don't cry, you'll hurt your eyes when you turn around. "

Su Jiangshi nodded, but tears still fell down: "I won't break down. I won't break down until those couples are punished. Xiu Yi, he has nowhere to go now."

Xu Xiuyi knew, otherwise he wouldn't have to come up with that kind of hurtful trick to deal with his old club, and wanted the Su family to change their minds and accept him.

"He owed a lot of debts, and the creditors would come to press him every day or two. Xiu Yi overheard Yuan Shishi give him an idea, saying that he should also open a bank to pay back those debts, and then collect more money. Money is making a comeback, you have to beware of him."

Su Jinyi, the abacus has come to this, Xu Xiuyi is not worried, Su Jinyi is the son who was kicked out by the Su family, and the guy who was kicked out by the security hall. Although he looks good now, he is probably rotten in his bones. If you want to use the Su family's name to bluff and cheat, the appearance can attract some people, but whoever gets close and smells the rotten smell in his bones, who would dare to send him money.

Moreover, does he have the guts to play up the golden signboard of the Su family?

Although there is no intellectual property protection and trademark law in this era, there is one thing that is not lacking, and that is a human mouth. When Xu Xiuyi is released, Su Jinyi's bank has nothing to do with their Su's bank. Let's see how he can still bluff .

Xu Xiuyi is not worried about this, but Xu Xiuyi is more worried that Su Jiangshi will go to see Miss Snow in a few days. At that time, Miss Xue's illness will definitely not be hidden, but at this moment, if she can hide it, she can hide it. At least Su Jiangshi can sleep A comfort or two.

Xu Xiuyi went back to the house. Su Jinyuan just came back with a tired look on his face. Seeing him washing his hands, Xu Xiuyi stepped forward and handed him the handkerchief: "What's the matter? What's the matter, mother?"

"Xiuyi." He dried his hands, and suddenly buried his head on Xu Xiuyi's shoulder tiredly. Xu Xiuyi's body was frozen against him, and his voice was hoarse and tired: "Let me lean on for a while, just for a while."

"what happened?"

Xu Xiuyi asked, her body didn't move, she could feel a sense of boundless lethargy and deep sadness in Su Jinyuan's body.

Su Jinyuan said hoarsely: "It's nothing, just let me rely on it for a while."

The time was quiet, and there was no words to each other, until Yinyu hurriedly left again, Su Jinyuan got up from Xu Xiuyi's shoulder, his expression had recovered a little calm, and said to Xu Xiuyi: "Yinyu has a habit of coming in without knocking, I need to be trained. "

"I know, how is the mother?"

"Woke up a few times, and went into convulsions again. I lighted benzoin, and used silver needles to stabilize her mind, and barely fell asleep. I made her a cup of calming tea, and I guess she can sleep well. By the way, have you been to the second sister-in-law's?"

"Just came back from there."

Su Jinyuan walked to the table, only then did Xu Xiuyi see the food on the table, he greeted Xu Xiuyi: "You haven't eaten yet, have you?"

"kindness!"

After sitting down, Su Jinyuan scolded: "Second brother is really nothing, at least the second sister-in-law is Xue girl's mother, and she won't let the second sister-in-law look at the child when she is sick."

"I'm afraid your second brother doesn't know. It's his aunt. When I went to his house to rob people today, he was also surprised to see the girl Xue coming out like that. Look at Yuan Shishi, Yuan Shishi buried his head Very low, I dare not even look at your second brother."

"Is Xue girl serious?"

"Probably malaria."

"Malaria!" Su Jinyuan was startled, but quickly calmed down again, "Brother is an expert in this area, and malaria is not fatal now. My brother is cured well, but Xue girl's health is poor. What do you say?"

"I did my best, but I didn't dare tell my second sister-in-law for fear that she wouldn't be able to bear it."

"Sooner or later, she will see the child before tomorrow. Xue girl has malaria, and the disease is very contagious in summer. You should stop going to the store."

Xu Xiuyi knew that the ancient people had misconceptions about malaria. They did not find a way to spread malaria, thinking that malaria would be spread through saliva and air like the plague. In fact, malaria was only spread through mosquito bites and blood.

But she is also pregnant with a child now, and she is also careful in this regard.

"Well, I see, Jin Yuan, the second sister-in-law told me today that Miss Li didn't fall into the water and drown herself."

Su Jinyuan stopped his chopsticks: "How to say?"

"Do you also know that Liying can't smell the fragrance of flowers?"

Su Jinyuan's expression was startled, and then he suddenly said: "Yeah, why didn't I think of this at the time, Li girl is very afraid of flowers, because when she smells the fragrance of flowers, her whole body will get pimples. At that time, Dad's [-]th birthday, there are a few extra flowers in the house." Potted flowers, she was sick and hid at her grandfather's house."

"The second sister-in-law also said that she was afraid of words, and she also said that she heard the sound of falling water in the lotus pond that day, went out to search around the lotus pond, and found no signs of loosening of the stone that the second brother and his aunt said later. But when she woke up from a coma, Miss Li was buried, and there was a big gap at the edge of the lotus pond."

"Second sister-in-law means that this gap is man-made?"

Su Jinyuan looked shocked, "Could it be that Miss Li's death was wronged."

"The second sister-in-law said that it was Yuan Shishi's son who pushed Miss Li into the water, because not long before Miss Li fell into the water, a maid saw Miss Li and Yuan Shishi's son arguing by the lotus pond."

Su Jinyuan frowned, his eyes slightly tangled: "What do you think should be done about this matter?"

"Killing people will naturally pay for their lives. Even if the child is young and ignorant, it can't make Miss Li die wrongly. At least the truth of the matter must be paid, and this matter is not so simple. No matter how much children quarrel, Miss Li will always She is so many years older than that boy, Miss Li is afraid that the pollen will not get close to the edge of the lotus pond, and that boy will not be able to push her to the edge of the lotus pond."

Hearing this, Su Jinyuan said, "Don't you suspect it's your lord?"

"I can't tell. Anyway, I don't care about this matter. I feel uncomfortable. I want to go for a walk tomorrow and ask the maid who witnessed the quarrel between Yuan Shishi's son and Miss Li."

Su Jinyuan was silent for a moment, and nodded in agreement: "I don't think it's the second brother, who loves these three daughters very much. If it is true that Yuan Shishi hurt my descendants of the Su family, I will have to pay the price for her. You have to be careful." , that woman knew that Xueying was not in good health, but still abused and concealed her illness like this, she is definitely not a kind person."

"Oh, I'm not afraid of her, she's not capable of moving me, so hurry up and eat, it's cold."

She served Su Jinyuan a bowl of soup, and Su Jinyuan looked at her with complicated eyes, and when she brought the soup in front of him, he returned his gaze, his eyes remained complicated.

How absurd it is to say it as a friend, and what's even more absurd is that he loves her so much, but he can only persuade himself not to force her, let everything return to zero and start slowly.

Su House, inside the room of the old lady of the Su family.

There was a wind blowing in the night shift, and the windows rattled. The old lady of the Su family guarded four maids by her bedside, and they took turns to be on duty.

The old lady of the Su family was lost the night before. They were scolded a lot, and the fourth master almost beat them up. Fortunately, the fourth grandma thought they were crying and annoyed them and drove them away. These two days, they are After working hard, even the chili water and embroidery needles are ready, if not, I will take a bite of chili and prick myself with a needle.

In this way, when it was midnight, I was finally able to change shifts, and the wind was strong outside, crackling the windows.

The two got up and complained to each other: "Didn't I tell you to close the window? Why didn't you close it?"

Another said: "I closed it, didn't you watch it?"

"Who knows if you are so sleepy that you can't open your eyes, and the latch is not plugged in."

"Keep down, we don't have to sleep when the old lady wakes up, just close it."

The two walked to the window, there was a gust of wind outside, and the two windows were blown to the point of crumbling. The two of them opened one of the doors, and suddenly, their breath was suffocated, and a shadow flashed by, all white.

The hairs of the two were counted down, and the scream was held in the throat.

"You, did you see it?"

"Don't ask, Amitabha, Amitabha, close the window, close the window."

He tried to pull the window shut, but at the moment when the window closed, through the crack of the window, the almost hideous and pale woman's face outside the window shocked the two of them and both fell to the ground. The closed window was suddenly caught The big seal was blown open, and there was a clanging sound. Outside the window, the pale and bloodless face of the woman was finally frightened.

"what……"

The entire Su Manor woke up to this scream. In the quiet midnight, many people poured in at the door of the old lady of the Su family. The leader was Su Jinyuan.

"What happened?"

Su Jinyuan was not asleep at all, afraid that the ghost would move the old lady of the Su family to the door at night, and the old lady of the Su family could no longer bear the torment.

So with the scream coming from his mother's room, he jumped up from the bed in an instant, and rushed into the room of the old lady of the Su family before he could put on his clothes.

When I went in, I saw two maids sitting on the ground. There was a big pool of water stains on the ground, and there was a smell of urine. It was obvious that the two maids were scared to pee.

The other two girls on the front page were held tightly by the old lady of the Su family and half sat and half knelt on the bed. Seeing Su Jinyuan coming in, the old lady of the Su family stumbled up and threw herself into Su Jinyuan's arms.

"Jin Yuan, she's here, she's here, Jin Yuan, she's here."

"Mother, mother, what happened?"

The two girls on the bed obviously saw something too, they were not as frightened as the two girls on the ground, but their faces were pale, and their long hair was soaked in cold sweat.

"Third Master, there is a ghost."

Su Jinyuan trembled.

And the old lady of the Su family who was in his arms pressed against his arms, her body trembling, and she kept repeating: "She's here, she's here, she's here."

"mother."

"mother."

There were several shouts at the door, and it was Su Jinyu and his wife, Su Yalan and Su Jiang who came in.

Seeing that the old lady of the Su family was frightened like this, everyone was confused: "Third brother, what's the matter?"

"Third, what did mother see?"

"Don't ask me, mother, she doesn't dare to get close to you, we will accompany you, come and drag these two girls out and clean the room."

The two girls on the ground were obviously frightened, and they were dragged out almost stiffly. Su Jinyuan coaxed the two girls on the bed down, and put the old lady of the Su family on the bed, but the old lady of the Su family pressed tightly against each other. Su Jinyuan was trembling.

Su Jinyu felt sad, and stepped forward to sit on the other side of Mrs. Su. The other hand of Mrs. Su hugged Su Jinyu again, her body was still like the fallen leaves in the autumn wind, shivering: "She is here, she is here, she is here .”

"Mother, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we are all here."

"Jin Yuan, where is Xiu Yi?"

With Su Yalan's words, Su Jinyuan realized that Xu Xiuyi, who had come out with him, was not in the room now, his heart trembled suddenly, and he wanted to get up, but was pulled tightly by the old lady Su: "San'er, don't go, don't go, she's coming gone."

Su Jinyuan was in a hurry to leave just now, he didn't pay attention to whether Xu Xiuyi followed him, but now the person who obviously came out with him is not in the house, he is afraid...

But his mother refused to let go of him, so he could only order loudly: "Everyone find the third grandma for me, hurry up."

His voice was eager and almost roaring, and Su Jinyu also roared without thinking: "What are you all doing in a daze, let me find it."

Everyone thought that he was anxious about Su Jinyuan, but they didn't know that he was anxious about himself.

He hasn't got that beauty yet, and now that things are in turmoil at home, he doesn't even have time to be near her. The more he gets along with Lu Yuer, the more he envies Su Jinyuan, and the more he lusts after Xu Xiuyi. A love that is almost delusional, he feels that Xu Xiuyi is his, at least, sooner or later it will be his.

Before that, he didn't allow her to do anything.
