Chapter 28 Nightmare Wakes Up and Tells the Truth

A heavy rain in the evening finally eased the dull heat of the past few days. The waterfall-like rain was noisy on the green tiles. The wind swept the black clouds, and the thick darkness engulfed the heavens and the earth, causing the night to fall early and obse the scenery outside the window. Only the rapid sound of the wind was endless.

Due to the wind and rain, Yijing and Ba Niang could not go to Yuanying Hall to say hello, so they had to stay in Luqing Garden for dinner. Ba Niang's appetite was always not good and reluctantly swallowed half a bowl of rice. Then Qiaohui persuaded him to use a bowl of bitter scorpion stewed goose palms and resolutely put a bowl of chopsticks. Seeing that she was sad, she frowned and said for a long time. However, at the beginning of Xu, Ba Niang was so tired that she fought and was served by the maid to bathe and rest.

Ying asked Chunmu to light up all the lights and candles in the room, making the room brilliant. While gossiping with the Qiu Shuang sisters, he diligently embroidered the birthday gift for his grandmother. After a full hour, he finally finished the pair of phoenix wings.

Looking at the light of the nine green lotus lamps, the beautiful scenery is quite beautiful.

Qiu Yue stood aside and couldn't help admiring: "Just outline it with beads. Even if the great work is completed, it won't take a few days. Wu Niang can hold on this time. I can hardly believe that you can really finish this wipe in two months."

At a glance, there was a yellow warbler embroidered on the case. The beautiful scenery picked up the two, and couldn't help but feel a little discouraged: "Look at this, such a difficult double-sided embroidery, the begonia looks vivid, and the yellow warbler is even more vivid. I remember that the spring and evening was embroidered in a month. How can it't be like me? It took a month to do the single pattern.

Chunmu hurriedly comforted the master: "I'm used to doing it. It's nothing. Although the lines of this phoenix are simple, it's better than being flexible and smooth. The five women are embroidered evenly. The old lady must like it."

Qiu Shuang repeatedly echoed: "I'm afraid that the old lady doesn't believe that it was embroidered by Wu Niang. Compared with this sachet, it is simply a heaven and a land."

Looking at Qiu Shuang's hand, it was the sachet he embroidered a few years ago, half a butterfly wing, embroidered unevenly, and looked listless, as if he was going to die under a flower.

Well, in such a comparison, the forehead is indeed exquisite and gorgeous.

At this time, it seems that the wind and rain have stopped. Outside the window, the gradual "tick" sound is the accumulated rain that resounds through the empty steps.

Chunmu glanced at the leak, immediately began to clean up the needle and thread, and persuaded the scenery: "It's late. Wu Niang should rest early. I have to go to the horse farm tomorrow morning to practice riding and shooting. I didn't sleep well. Lian Niang punished you again."

Qiushuang also hurriedly loosened her hair for the scenery. Qiuyue went out of the house and told the maid on standby in the porch to carry hot water.

Three maids waited for the beautiful scenery to wash, smell the lily in the fragrant lion, closed the windows, spread the brocade on the couch, and extinguished the lights all over the room. Only one was left by the bedside, covered with a windproof glazed cover, and carefully put down the veil for the beautiful scenery. The spring evening and autumn frost retreated, leaving only today's autumn moon on duty.

Seeing Qiu Yue laying the reed mat under the window, the beautiful scenery slightly opened the tent: "I can't sleep for a while. Come up and talk to me."

Qiuyue responded crisply. In addition to her coat and skirt, she lay down on the outside and smiled, "How long has it been since I talked with you like this? When I was a child, Wu Niang was most afraid of sleeping alone. She had to take her maidservant and accompany Qiu Shuang at night. Once the sound of laughter was so loud that even Mrs. Linglong woke up, which made Sister Linglong Pretend to be a ghost to scare us."

At that time, I was still living in the bisha cupboard of Yuanying Hall, which was a good time to be carefree.

"The result did not scare us, but scared Xia Yun, who got up at night, half to death." Yangjing also remembered that. As a result, Xia Yun was sick and did not dare to walk at night for half a year.

"Wuniang, I plan to follow your instructions tomorrow, but there are some words that have been kept in the heart of the maidservant. If you don't say it, you just feel bored. Say it, but I'm afraid that you will blame the maidservant." The halo of the glazed lamp is hazy and beautiful, and then it is getting darker and darker. The autumn moon is backlight lying on its side, and there is a shadow on the small face. Only a pair of smart eyes, with only a trace of light, can reflect the brilliance.

"When will we not let you speak from the bottom of our hearts when we grew up together? Don't pretend there." Yijing also turned over and looked at Qiu Yue with a serious listening look.

"Xia Yun has few words and a dull nature. Don't want to please you, even want to be close to her. Besides, these days, it is not difficult to see that she has moved her thoughts that she should not have. She inquired about Mother Song's nephew and paid attention in front of Dongyu. No wonder Wu Niang annoyed her and let the maidservant look for her... But Xia Yun also has more or less pitiful things. She is lonely and unreliable. Now that she is getting older, she has such an idea, but she doesn't know that Song Er is so virtuous. Even if she can please Mother Song, she will get married into the wolf's den.

Although Qiu Yue's words are all Xia Yun's confused words, it is not difficult to hear, and she still has some sympathy.

In fact, it's not that I don't understand Xia Yun, and I also feel that her background is quite pitiful, but when I think of those people who are obedient to Dongyu... I still don't want to leave this hidden danger by my side.

"If the fifth woman is annoyed with Xia Yun, it's better to adjust her to go somewhere else, but if she is out..." There is no other support. If she is kicked out of the house again, Xia Yun will really be cut off from living. Qiu Yue is a little unbearable.

"I didn't want to fall Xia Yun like this." In fact, this has been said once, but Yijing also knows that the few maids in Chunmu are afraid of disbelief: "I also think that she has something pitiful, but when I turn around and think about it, can't I rely on her? She has been serving me like you for several years. Although I don't treat her so intimately, how can I ever say anything harshly? What's wrong with her? You can tell me that I will also plan for her, but why did she say a word? Even if I have a master-servant difference with her and you, hasn't she made friends with her?

Qiu Yue was stunned, and when she thought about it carefully, she couldn't help nodding.

"What kind of idea do you have in her mind that makes it difficult for her to speak? I'm afraid that I don't want to be in charge in the future." Ying said again.

Qiu Yue was surprised and uncertain: "Wuniang thinks... Xia Yun is the same as Ying Sheng?" In the past, Xia Yun was also an honest man. Is it possible that he pretended to choose a high branch? Qiu Yue didn't want to believe it, but when she thought of Xia Yun's performance these days, she felt that the master's analysis was very reasonable.

"I asked you to pick her, not to send her down, but her heart has not been in Luqing Garden for a long time, but it is also fate that she served me... You told Qiu Shuang to choose a suitable time to reveal Song Er's virtue to Xia Yun, and we woke her up." Ying said that Xia Yun knew that there was a fire pit in front of her and was unwilling to go in, it was all up to her to measure it.

If Xia Yun restrains such thoughts, she may not be unwilling to give her a chance. Although she is unwilling to stay with herself, Ba Niang is just short of people. She can ask her grandmother to transfer Xia Yun to wait beside Ba Niang and wait for two years. If she is willing, her grandmother will make the decision for her. If you find a stewman and eliminate slavery, you can also get freedom and stability.

The reason why the autumn moon is not looking for summer clouds is to test the cherry.

According to the observation of the scenery, Cherry does have some thoughts to strive for Jin. Although ambition is not a bad thing, her conduct must be correct. After all, what she will do in the future can't rely on the three people in spring and evening, so she has to find another confidant, and this person's ability and loyalty are indispensable.

In these days, beautiful scenery has observed the maids of Luqingyuan, either not smart enough or not calm enough. She is a few years old and greedy for small profits, which is unbearable.

There is only one cherry, who is diligent and cautious, and doesn't seem to have any fancy. If she is really the same, it is appropriate.

But even if Cherry can pass the test, she still doesn't know whether her brother is reliable, and she still has to take a closer look and test.

All plans have not been specifically implemented, but it is not easy to choose a helper.

The beautiful scenery is meditating for a while, and then look at the autumn moon——

The girl has fallen asleep and doesn't know what she has dreamed of. The corners of her lips are raised, which is very happy.

In the summer night after the rain, the cool, pleasant and carefree girl can sleep all night.

It's really enviable.

Yijing turned over and closed her eyes, but the thoughts in her mind were so mixed that it was difficult for her to fall asleep.

The departure date of Mr. Wei has been set. Just five days later, the teacher-teacher's banquet led by Er Niang was also set for the next day. The post was sent to the palace of the King of Chu, and there has been a reply. The three sisters of Anhui are bound to attend, and Yuzhou will not miss it.

In this life, the son of the king of Chu is Mr. Wei's confidant and is said that he will also attend.

Thinking of meeting him again, Yijing only felt mixed feelings in her heart. On the one hand, if she wants to atone for his sins and make him safe and happy in this life, she will naturally avoid meeting him. After all, it seems that the only way to stay by his side is the safest way to prevent those malicious people from harming the world; but on the other hand, guilt is still often broken. Grind her and make her afraid to face the world.

Suddenly, I thought of Yuzhou and the fierce spirit behind him.

Suddenly, it was Mother Song's vicious face again.

There is no sign of sleep.

But suddenly I heard a scream——

The beautiful scene was so scared that she sat up straight and listened carefully.

The quiet night was silent, and the sound of wind swept over the bamboo shoots, dripping a piece of rain.

Just as the scene thought it was a hallucination, she heard a muffled sound. It seemed that something had hit the ground. In the faint, there was a woman crying intermittently.

This is not an illusion!

Yi Jing pushed two autumn moons, turned over and went to bed, put on a coat, and pushed open the window to look back/court.

Starless and moonless, the rich night came with the opening of the window, and the sound of crying became clearer and clearer.

Following, beautiful scenery heard Qiaohui's comforting voice again, and the volume was slightly high, and her worries and nervousness could be heard.

The light was lit in the east wing where Ba Niang lived.

At this time, Qiu Yue had woken up, put on her clothes, yawned behind Yijing, looked out, and asked in a daze, "What's wrong? Is it possible that someone is pretending to be a ghost again?

Yijing didn't say anything. She pushed open the corner door on the side of the bedroom and walked to Ba Niang's wing. The two corridors were connected and were only more than ten steps apart. Yijing stood in front of the door and called before pushing the door open.

At a glance, Qiaohui stood in the middle of the room, wearing only a moon-white underwear and shoes, with a little panic on his face, and turned his head at a loss.

A bamboo pillow was thrown on the ground, and Ba Niang huddled in the corner of the couch and pulled a thin quilt to cover most of her body, revealing only a small face full of tears. Her eyes were full of confusion and fear, which did not look like she was shocked by ghosts.

"Ba Niang had a nightmare, but she didn't let the maidservant get close..." Qiaohui explained in a panic, afraid that the scenery would be misunderstood. She tried to approach the bed, but she didn't expect Ba Niang to cry out: "It's not me... Don't come to me... It's not my fault..."

Yi Jing's heart sank, pulled Qiaohui, stepped forward lightly, and comforted Ba Niang: "Eight sister, can you recognize me if you take a closer look? Don't be afraid. No one wants to hurt you. You're just a nightmare.

"Fifth sister..." After a few breaths, Ba Niang returned to her soul, choked and shouted, and slightly relaxed her hand holding the quilt.

Yi Jing took a soft breath and ordered, "Qiaohui went to fg a basin of hot water, and Qiu Yue went to make a bowl of hot tea to shock Ba Mei." When there were no others in the room, Yijing went to the bed and gently hugged Ba Niang's shoulder: "Don't be afraid. What did you dream about? Just say it."

Ba Niang bit her lips tightly, and her body trembled like a branch in the north wind in winter, but refused to speak.

"Some things are hidden in my heart, and I'm just aggrieved myself. These days, you haven't thought about food, and your whole body is as thin as skin and bones. In the long run, you have to ruin your own body." Ying sighed, "What happened to Jin Guiyuan that day? How did Yinhai die? Tell me. I promise you that I won't tell anyone else."

I had too many doubts before I made a tentative speech, but as soon as I saw Ba Niang's instant pale face, it was awe-inspiring in my heart.

"Fifth sister... It's not that I don't want to say it, but if it's known by others... Auntie... After all, my aunt gave birth to me, and I can't watch her pay for her life..." She lowered her voice and cried. Ba Niang suppressed her fear for many days and finally vented it.

The death of silverpin is really not as simple as it seems.

Yijing also felt her heart pounding, and her palms stroked Ba Niang's back slightly: "Say it. You will feel better if you say it. I swear that I will never tell others what you said today, including your grandmother."

What it's like to feel guilty? Yijing can't understand that Ba Niang is just a child and should not suffer like this.

Listening to my sister's firm tone and feeling the comfort of kindness, Ba Niang felt a little brave and endured her fear. Speaking of the killing she witnessed that day: "The second aunt quarreled with her aunt and made a lot of trouble. I was afraid and hid in the backyard... Silver hairpin cried by the well, Mama Comforting her... I didn't want them to see me, hiding in a wing far away... Later, I heard the scream of silver hairpin... It was Mama who hit her in the back of the head with a brick and pushed her into the well..."

"Fifth sister, it must have been my aunt who told my mother to harm Yinhao. It was my aunt who was annoyed that Yin Jian had done such an ugly thing... Yin Jian, but my aunt is my biological mother after all. I can't hurt her, fifth sister, promise me that you must not let others know."

The murderer is really Mother Jiang!

It was not easy to calm Ba Niang's mood. Watching her fall asleep, Yijing took Qiuyue back to her room and lay quietly on the couch to clean up her clues.

This matter should have nothing to do with Aunt Zhang. She obviously didn't know Yinjiao's thoughts, let alone predicted that her second aunt would call Jin Guiyuan. On the same day, when she learned that Yinjiao was thrown into the well, the surprise on her face did not seem to be a lie.

But why did Mother Jiang kill Yinpin?

The two are not only without hatred, but also very close on the surface.

Is it that Mother Jiang has always been approaching Yinpin for a purpose, but a helpless orphan girl, no matter how she looks at it, there is no threat to Mother Jiang.

Jin Guiyuan's disturbance must have been premeditated.

Someone deliberately let the second aunt know what Yinzhao's doing. According to the second aunt's temperament and anger, she would definitely go to Jinguiyuan to make a scene. While everyone was in the front yard and no one noticed, Mother Jiang deliberately led Yinzhao to the well, while she was unprepared... Even if she later found that there was a wound on Yinjian's head, she only thought she was thrown into the well. At that time, I hit myself... The front yard was so noisy that no one would hear the scream of silver cup.

Mother Jiang must have had the intention to kill long ago, so that she took this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take action on the silver lead, causing the image of silver lead to exposure and shame and suicide.

Aunt Zhang is domineering. Even if she senses the evil heart of silver hairpin, she doesn't have to give up such twists and turns, and she can be directly handed over to her mother for treatment.

The way to die like this seems to have been extinguished.

But the maid next to her aunt knew something terrible, which led to the murder.

That day, I talked about the strangeness of Mother Jiang in front of my grandmother. Is it just my own illusion that Mother Song was so nervous?

No, this is by no means simple.

At that time, Mother Jiang shouted that the silver pin fell into the well and showed traces. She did not look like a cautious person, but her explanation in front of her grandmother was calm, detailed and watertight, and her performance was very contradictory.

On that day, Mother Song brought Mother Jiang to Jinguiyuan...

It is very likely that she explained how to explain it on the way.

Yi Jing thought over and over again, and his intuition was that behind the murder case, there was a shadow of Mother Song.

But what is Mother Song's motive for killing? She will never just drive away the sound of warbler and make Dongyu top of it. It's such a big waste and dangerous thing to kill people. So... Is it silverpin that has mastered her?

If all this is as expected, Mother Song is far more dangerous than she thought.

She does not hesitate to kill people and must be brewing a great conspiracy, and the direction of this conspiracy is not just herself.

To find out all this, we have to start from Mother Jiang, and we can't implicate Ba Niang and Aunt Zhang, let alone make Mother Song suspicious.

What should I do?

The scenery turned over and over, and all night, I still didn't think of a perfect solution.

When the morning came, she had to get up as if she were nothing, freshen and change her clothes, and go to the horse farm to practice riding and shooting.

After a month of hard practice, the equestrian scenery has made great progress. At least now it is really like playing after two laps, and the black eagle bow is no longer motionless under her hard pull, but——

"Looking at your little arm is much stronger, why can't you pull the bow?" Su Lian was very dissatisfied. She pinched Yijing's arm and hated that she couldn't become steel.

Yijing was a little panicked about the word Zhuangshi. She looked at her arm and felt that she was still a lady's arm. Then she was relieved and threw down her heroic words: "Little aunt, wait and see. It won't take long for me to shoot this arrow on the target!" Don't forget your promise then." Raise the target up another step, automatically ignoring the listless cluster of arrows that she had just finally shot out, but fell three steps away.

"Yes, it seems that you are really eager to travel the fireworks alley with me!" Su Lian patted the shoulder of the scenic spot with approval.

Binjing...

Do you want to walk around the world with you?
