As soon as these words were spoken, Si Jinyue's face turned pale. She took two steps towards Qi Nanyuan and looked straight at the guard who reported the news.
The guard did not let everyone wait any longer and said:
"It's absolutely true. Lord Zhou set out today to return to his hometown to take up his new post. However, he was chased by a masked killer after only half a day outside the city gate.
At this time, his family had returned to Beijing and reported the case to Jingzhao Prefecture.
in addition......"
"What else?" Si Jinyue asked anxiously with a trembling voice.
The guard glanced at his master, and when he nodded, he continued:
"When Zhou Song was returning to Beijing, his carriage was stopped by his brothers. They dragged a woman out of the carriage and hacked her to death in the street. Her death was extremely tragic.
Therefore, the brothers of Lord Zhou's family were also taken into Jingzhao Prefecture."
When everyone heard this, they sighed, lamenting the impermanence of life, and then left.
Only Si Jinyue was stunned for a moment. She had sent someone to give some money to her uncle yesterday, so why would she...
She didn't bother to argue with Si Jinxing anymore and got into the carriage in a panic.
The eldest uncle died, but the second uncle had to be rescued!
Otherwise, she will have even less to rely on in the future!
Si Jinxing watched the carriage leave and walked towards the broken treasure bowl.
He took out a pair of medical gloves from Xinglin Yaxu, carefully picked up the fragments on the ground, and looked at them carefully.
Doctor Feng had been called in to treat Liu Kai and had not yet left. Seeing the young master examining the fragments, he hurried over and said,
"Boss, is there something wrong with this fragment?"
Si Jinxing put down the fragments in his hand, picked up a handful of soil from the ground, frowned and said, "Mr. Feng, take a look, what's mixed in this soil?"
Doctor Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, took the handful of soil, looked at it carefully, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and said:
"This contains powdered Pinellia tuber, a rare and excellent medicine!"
Si Jinxing nodded. She also realized that it was a good medicine!
"Yes, Pinellia ternata is good for relieving coughs and removing phlegm, but it cannot be stored in this treasure bowl!"
Pinellia is poisonous, but this amount is not enough to directly poison people in the store.
However, if you smell this pinellia for a long time and then eat some hot mutton, the toxicity will rise and worsen, damaging your yin and tendons!
If this continues, Yaxu Lao will naturally not be able to continue operating!
Si Jinxing just felt a little tired in her heart. She hadn't settled the old score with Si Jinyue yet, but she came to provoke her first!
But, how could Zhou Song's death be such a coincidence? He was also killed by the man in black!
I guess the woman killed by Zhou Bai was Lu, right?
She finally chose Zhou Song, but she didn't expect...
Si Jinxing calmed down and took Qingchan and Luzhu back to the general's mansion.
But before she reached Suihua Garden, Si Jinyun stopped her.
"My mother was beaten by my father, and my uncle died. Are they all related to you?"
Si Jinxing was a little tired today and didn't want to pay attention to the unreasonable Si Jinyun, so she wanted to bypass her.
But unexpectedly, Si Jinyun refused to give way and said:
"Tell me, are you feeling guilty?"
Before Si Jinxing could say anything, a figure flashed out from behind Si Jinyun and slapped her in the face!
The slap was so heavy that Si Jinyun spun around several times before she staggered and grabbed onto the stone pillar beside the corridor to steady herself.
"Father! You actually hit me?!" Si Jinyun couldn't help crying when she saw who slapped her.
In her memory, although her father was a man of few words, he never said a harsh word to her, let alone hit her.
Now, my mother is under house arrest, crying out in pain every day, but my father won’t even find a doctor for her!
Today I learned that my uncle was assassinated in the suburbs. Does my father think that there is no one left in her mother's family?
Si Junshan looked at his third daughter in front of him and found it hard to imagine that he had been raising a child for someone else for so many years!
His eyes widened in anger as he said, "Your uncle died a violent death. He must have offended someone. How dare you bring this up with Xing'er and the Ninth Prince?"
Si Jinyun wiped the tears from her face and complained, "Father, you have changed!"
Si Junshan didn't look at her, but turned to look at Si Jinxing, with a smile on his face, and asked:
"You went to the Lan Mansion today, right? You should. You should go to the Lan Mansion more often when you have time. There are too many memories of your mother there."
Si Jinxing looked at him cautiously, but walked straight past him and said coldly, "She's dead."
When Si Junshan heard this, the smile on his face disappeared immediately. She was dead!
Killed by Zhou mother and daughter!
Si Jinyun still had tears on her face, but she found that her father had a gloomy face and was full of anger. She was so scared that she dared not say a word and turned around and ran back to her yard.
She lay in front of the dressing table and cried for a long time, feeling wronged, before asking Lianxiang to fetch some water and wash her face.
When she returned to the dressing table and looked into the bronze mirror, she suddenly felt her face was red and swollen.
She didn't think much about it, thinking it was because she cried too hard and was beaten by her father, but she didn't notice that Lianxiang's fingers trembled slightly.
The medicine is used up.
What will happen to the third young lady’s face?
Whenever she thought of the medicine applied to Zhou's wound and the itchiness from the insect bites, she couldn't help shivering.
That person is so cruel...
Si Jinxing was tired today, so she ate a little more at dinner. At this moment, she was walking quickly in circles around Suihua Garden.
"Princess, Lu committed adultery with my uncle and was accidentally killed by Zhou Bai. Jingzhao Prefecture acquitted him and released him immediately." Bai Xi suddenly appeared and walked quickly with Si Jinxing. He reported.
Si Jinxing had anticipated this a long time ago. She walked to the stone table, took a big sip of water, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said:
"I heard that Mrs. Lu is two or three months pregnant."
Bai Xi thought about it for a moment, then understood what he meant and said, "Leave it to me!"
The next morning, the autumn wind blew, rustling the leaves.
Si Jinxing sat on the stone bench in the yard, quietly looking at Ling Su opposite her and listening to what he said.
"Second Miss, don't blame your father.
He lost your mother that year, and because everyone in the mansion was unanimous in putting the blame on you, he didn't investigate the matter any further.
He has lived a lonely life for half his life, immersed in the pain of losing your mother.
He is suffering.”
"He knew your sixteenth birthday was the day after tomorrow. Would you like to celebrate it at the General's Residence or at the Lan Residence? He didn't dare to ask you in person, so he sent me.
He said, "You can do whatever you want, and you don't need to save his face."
Si Jinxing nodded and said, "He's suffering because he brought it upon himself. I didn't mean to give him face. I will go to the Lan Mansion to celebrate my birthday the day after tomorrow and don't want him to worry about it."
After she finished speaking, she stood up and prepared to let Qingchan see her off, but she saw Luzhu walking towards her quickly, saying with a happy face:
"Miss, Miss, please go to the front yard and take a look. It's a great happy event!"
