Inheritance policy

Chapter 72 Situation

Mother Zhang's loud promise, the sudden mention of pearl brown rice soup, the sudden temptation, and the final retreat.

One out after another, one ring after another.

If she replied with the slightest bit of hesitation and resentment, wouldn't the large group of people in the yard be driven out immediately, leaving only her alone!

She was guarding against Mrs. Tai and He Yan.

And just because she knew that He Yan forced the eldest lady to death, why didn't they guard against her!

For no reason, the image of Mrs. Tai leaning on the imperial concubine's couch indifferently in the past, with a half-old book in her hand, and a pair of tortoiseshell glasses on her nose, heard her voice, and she was very happy. Putting down the book, she called her "Ah Wu" in a warm voice.
Xing Zhao shivered involuntarily, and the suffocating fear and despair seemed to wrap her up. She raised her hand slightly, only to realize that she had no strength at all.

Lianyu took a step forward, supported Xing Zhao from the side, lowered her voice, and whispered in a low voice: "You just know it in your heart, you can't say anything, you can't say anything."

Lian Rong looked at Lian Yu, then at Xing Zhao, who had a livid face, crying with a handkerchief in her sleeve, full of confusion, and could only repeat a few words over and over: "What's wrong, what's wrong."

I also thought of Xingzhao's sadness when the eldest lady passed away, Lianyu's calmness, and Huang's mother's strange injury. After all, the voice gradually became smaller, and in the end only sobbing was left.

"Grandmother is not afraid at all that I know what will happen." Xing Zhao grabbed Lianyu's arm and smiled wryly, "This is a test, isn't it a demonstration—I'm like a trapped animal, showing off in a high-profile We are vulnerable to powerful opponents, and only by their mercy and our own compromise are we allowed to survive."

The final decision-maker and leader of the Marquis of Lin'an Mansion cannot allow an unstable factor to survive in his own camp, at least not with dignity.

Lianyu bowed her head and counted the blue bricks in the flower hall, her heart was in a state of confusion. The death of the eldest lady was like a primer of gunpowder, which ignited bit by bit, and even the thin layer covered by the ugliness The veil was also lifted, and the estrangement and hatred between father and son gradually expanded, and no one knew what would happen in the end.

There was no light in the flower hall, it was dark, and the white silk and plain onyx hanging everywhere were flying around.

The unspeakable silence of the room was broken by a panting voice.

"Four girls!"

Xing Zhao's eyes lit up, and when he looked up, he saw He Ye, who was out of breath, opened the curtain and came in.

"The woman who guards the second door doesn't allow me to go out, saying that the world is in chaos outside, and the house is also in chaos. The superiors have issued a ban, and the little maids and servants in the inner courtyard are not allowed to go out casually. They are not allowed to go out, and even go to the Zhuangzi to see myself. Neither can my parents!"

He Ye clenched her hands into fists and continued to speak clearly, "I guarded there secretly. Except for a few housekeepers and stewards, no one else was allowed in or out. , the old woman let go of her mouth—Mother Yao, who was in Mrs. Tai's room in the morning, came over and ordered the concierge, saying, "The maids in the inner courtyard are absolutely not allowed to go out, and the letters and paper must be handed in for careful examination before going out." There is an answer', and asked her to 'look at the door carefully', and there will be a reward if you look at it."

Xing Zhao's heart turned cold, Mrs. Tai wanted to cut off her hands and feet, blind her eyes, and deaf her ears.

Without a way to contact the outside world, it means that you can't communicate, you can't find out the truth, and you can't even protect yourself.

Mrs. Tai is forcing her to accept it with a smile, just like Coptis chinensis on the table for you to swallow, and you are not allowed to say bitterness!

Xing Zhao laughed, and looked sadly at Lian Yu standing beside him: "The He family's cleverness is all used here."

Lian Yu's heart ached suddenly.

"We're going to escape." Xing Zhao's expression gradually faded, and he could see a square and hazy sky through the window lattice, and he thought of what Queen Fang said that day, and shook his head lightly: "Hidden? No, hibernation can only make others more rampant. I have already lost my mother, and I can't lose you any more."

Today Mrs. Tai can be merciful for a while because of her forbearance, but what about in the future?

She couldn't place her bet on Madam Tai's occasional soft heart, Madam Tai still had a little pity for her, if He Yan made a move, she couldn't imagine what the consequences would be.

"Go and invite the third girl to Huaishanyuan." Xing Zhao told Lian Xin, and Lian Xin complied and left.

Only now did Xing Zhao have time to take off the waistcoat that was draped over his body, revealing the plain white jacket he was wearing, then turned around and walked towards the Nuan Pavilion, and at the same time turned his body sideways to remind Lianyu and Lianrong: "You two have been following along with me for the past few days. By my side, especially Lianyu."

From the secret conversation between Ying Yi and He Yan, to witnessing the eldest lady drinking the poison at the end, no one in Huaishan Garden knew better than Lian Yu except Xing Zhao.

A trace of remorse flashed in Xingzhao's heart. Why did he tell Mrs. Tai the truth at that time? Her mistake of thinking almost put this gentle but resolute and brave woman into danger.

Lianrong nodded in a daze, and didn't care about Jiangcai. She was frightened, and hurried out, saying that she was going to order the small kitchen to cook ginseng and Tianma chicken soup, so as to supplement Xing Zhao.

Lianyu understood Xingzhao's meaning in her heart, sighed lightly, then stood beside the desk with her sleeves rolled up and rubbed ink as usual.

When Xing Ming came over, Xing Zhao had just finished copying a chapter of "Guo Yu", and only raised his head after writing the stroke of the last word "Ce".

Xingming wore a moon-white Hangzhou silk Zou gauze jacket, and only wore a pair of lilac and plain silver earplugs. Before putting on any powder or daisy, he came in with a pot of Clivia in his hands and pulled up the curtain. When he saw Xingzhao's round face, he was so thin I can faintly see the sharp chin, and the wind can still seep through the close-fitting jacket, and my eyes turn red. I put Clivia on the table first, and then I hurriedly leaned over to close the window, and I didn’t know talking about something.

"The maids in the room don't know how to close the windows. What should I do if it's cold?" He came to take the pen in Xing Zhao's hand away, and blamed him with tears: "I'm not in good health, and I don't know how to rest. Rest? Still copying, want to take the imperial examination and become the number one scholar?"

Sentence after sentence, although the tone was reproachful, Xing Zhao felt warmth.

Xing Zhao pursed his lips and smiled, closed the book as he said, and pouted at the pot of Clivia: "How many pots of flowers and plants have the third sister sent here these days? First, green calyx, then peony, and this Clivia, next time What are you going to give?"

"The green calyx is bloomed by Ling Han alone, the peony is the gentleman among flowers, and the Clivia lives in the valley without inferiority." Xingming said, tears came down: "Obviously all the hydrangeas are bursting, and the good news is that the hydrangeas are blooming. Good meaning, how come."

Xingming cried until he couldn't make a sound, Xing Zhao pursed his lips, and went up to wipe her tears with a handkerchief, and smiled wryly: "Sister, don't cry, Ah Wu is getting better after all, don't come again Ah Wu is recruited."

When Xingming heard this, he sniffled desperately, suppressed crying with choked sobs, and wiped his face indiscriminately. After the eldest lady passed away, she suffered for a long time. What is the role of the girl, what is the role of her, just say that her friendship with Xingzhao is sad for the eldest lady, and even more sad for Xingzhao.

Xing Zhao shook Xing Ming's hand, hesitated for a while, but finally made up his mind, and asked her slowly: "The maid in my room can't get out, so I want to ask the maid in your room if she can get out." Going out of the house?"

Xingming was stunned for a moment, then twitched twice, and shook his head: "No! Today was originally Jinmei's vacation, she went to the second gate, and then came back. But it seems that the mother next to the mother can go out of the house and leave the house. When I went to pay my respects to Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Tai was still saying, "I'm afraid that the maids around the little lady will be inappropriate. It's a troubled time, and I'm afraid that the servants of the He family will cause trouble outside, so I simply issued a ban.""

Xing Zhao's heart sank, and no one around Xing Ming was allowed to go out. In this family, she was the only one she could trust.

The mother next to the second lady, can she instruct her to move?Whether the second wife will help Mrs. Tai, or will help her, the answer doesn't even need to be thought about.

Once she has trouble, should she drive out the girls in Huaishan Garden, or she should ask Queen Fang for help!

Xingming couldn't understand why Xingzhao would ask this. He lowered his head and asked in a caring voice: "What's wrong with you? What's missing? Let the housekeeper's mother-in-law go out and buy it immediately? Fragrance powder? Glutinous rice balls? Or do you want to go out to the western suburbs to pay homage to your aunt? Didn’t you just come back from the ancestral grave?”

The conjecture finally became a reality, but Xing Zhao calmed down when he was forced to this point, shook his head, and diverted the conversation: "The chest is stuffy, and I feel strange, so I want to say a few words to others."

Xingming sighed, took the copper scissors and trimmed the pot of poppies on the kang, talking in a rambling manner, as if he wanted to let Xingzhao have something to think about and something to say, You can forget the pain of your own mother's death.

Xing Zhao leaned on the cushion, with a warm felt blanket on his legs, absorbing Xing Ming's unique comfort and consolation.

The Second Madam is now under strict control, and it is not easy for Xingming to come out. In addition, although the servants in the house dare not spread the rumors too much, they can still faintly hear these sounds. The world is always hot. Competing to cook, but no one was cooking in the cold stove. Once the eldest lady passed away, Brother Jing didn't come back, and everyone left to cool off the tea, leaving alone a little lady whose mother's family was declining.The people who came to Xing Zhao's side used to be densely populated, but now they are few and far between.

Not long after Xingming came, a woman came from Dongkua courtyard to urge her to go back.

Xingming was very reluctant, and looked at Xingzhao apologetically, but Xingzhao didn't care, and personally sent her to the gate of Huaishanyuan.

After dinner, Xing Zhao picked up the pen and continued to copy the book, but his mind was crackling with calculations.

Externally, we lost contact. Internally, Mrs. Tai has used coercion and temptation, and the precautionary measures on all sides have been done extremely well.

She had no choice but to escape, she felt sincerely disgusted and disgusted with the He family's hypocrisy, what should she do if she wanted to escape?
Malingering?Will Zhang Yuanjue of Tai Hospital spread the news to Fengyi Hall?

Recklessly?Even the wife of the main house could only drink a bowl of medicine, nothing came out.

Crying?

Xing Zhao sneered, she died once, and her heart died again fifteen days ago, no matter how stupid or stupid she is, she will never be blinded again!

There was silence in the room, and suddenly I heard the childish voice of the little maid outside: "Mother Zhang is here!"
