Chapter 13: Killing to silence someone

This room is full of warmth, while the other room is filled with sorrow.

In Lin Qinshuang's courtyard, Lin Qinshuang lay on the bed with a frown on her face, holding a handkerchief in her hand. She was upset. She wanted to turn over, but the pain in her coccyx made her cry "ouch", and she cursed Minglan in her heart.

Zhou Xueniang sat on a small stool beside the bed. Seeing that Lin Qinshuang was in pain, she quickly took a pillow and put it under her waist. Seeing that she was restless, she knew what was bothering her. "My dear, the ice has been shoveled away and turned into a pool of water. There is no evidence left. No matter how suspicious they are, they can't do anything to us."

Lin Qinshuang didn't feel relieved after hearing what Zhou Xuenniang said. She looked out the window with a dim look in her eyes. "The physical evidence is gone, but there are still witnesses. We handled this matter in a hurry and were too sloppy in many places. Mo'er was also involved. The most troublesome are Zhu Lou and Lu Luo who are still in the yard."

Having said this, she slammed the bed. "When I mention these two, I get angry. This matter is because they didn't do a good job. They shouldn't have poured more water to let the frozen water get bigger. If the ice was thicker, how could Wei Shuyi survive if he fell harder? How could he give birth to a son for Honglang? When Wei Shuyi went out, the two of them hid. If the two of them rushed to help her, without a loyal servant to cushion her, Wei Shuyi would not have survived. But these two were cowardly and only did half of the work. They were more likely to fail than accomplish! "

The more she spoke, the more her chest rose and fell. Zhou Xueniang went to the stove next to her and poured her a cup of tea, so that she could drink some tea to calm down. "Young lady, please take care of yourself. The two blisters in your mouth are still swollen from the burns. You must not get angry again."

"I don't want to be angry either. It was just a little bit, just a little bit. I spent so much time thinking about taking action at home when the old man and the eldest lady went to Runzhou. The old lady also went to the mountains. She had no one to turn to, so she just let me control her. Who would have thought that the old man left her two servants and a loyal servant by her side. Not to mention that he was given by the eldest lady, but she actually bought him in a short time and was willing to risk his life for her? And her wolf cub is the same. "How dare your daughter push me!"

Lin Qinshuang gnashed her teeth, wishing she could eat her flesh and blood, "We had everything going for us, but those two idiots ruined everything! If we wait for the master to come back, Wei Shuyi will definitely complain. Under the current circumstances, there is no guarantee that Honglang will not believe her. Even if he does not completely believe her, if he investigates after someone falls, it may be us who will be blamed!" Lin Qinshuang analyzed the situation and felt that the current situation was not favorable to her.

Suddenly, Lin Qinshuang's eyes became fierce, and she said ruthlessly, "Xue Niang, why don't we go all out." As she spoke, she wiped her neck with a handkerchief.

Zhou Xuenniang raised her eyes slightly and saw Lin Qinshuang's action, and understood what she meant, "But young lady, we can't get involved in that courtyard now, they have it tightly locked up, and people outside can't get in unless people inside come out."

Lin Qinshuang smiled carelessly, "Of course we can't get in and we don't need to. Aren't Zhu Lou and Lu Luo's parents and brothers and sisters here? Let them go find them. I don't believe they won't come out." She smiled and said vicious words.

"I understand!" Zhou Xuenniang said and retreated.

"Young lady, Zhu Lou's mother and Lu Luo's sister are outside the courtyard gate. Their families have found marriages for them. Please take them back to see each other."

Mingxi knew that Lin Qinshuang couldn't sit still when she heard it. Seeing that Sheng Hong's return date was approaching, she was going to take action! "No! Just say that we just had a young master in our courtyard, and Zhuli was injured again while trying to save me. We were already short of staff, and now they wish they could do the work of two people. Why do they have to wait until we are the busiest when they can arrange a blind date at any other time? What's their intention?" The parrot took the order and left.

The parrot walked to the gate of the courtyard, raised its chin towards the two men, "Please go back, both of you. Our courtyard is busy and short of staff right now. Zhulou and Luluo are our young lady's right-hand men. Our young lady has to call on them at any time. They cannot leave the courtyard at will, otherwise our young lady will not be able to see anyone and it will delay things."

The two men saw that the parrot was arrogant and refused to let her out, so the older one started yelling, "I don't know what the parrot girl is doing. The majesty of the old lady, isn't it? It's just that Madam Wei gave birth to a son. It's still unclear whether he is raised big or not. Our Master Changfeng is already of school age. Miss Parrot should carefully consider the importance of this matter!"

Parrot didn't buy her nonsense at all. She came out of the Madam's room. "That's right. Madam should also carefully consider the importance of this matter. Our Master Changbai is the Madam's legitimate son." The

old man choked. He forgot that this girl was sent by the Madam. The old man was so embarrassed. I will go up and say, "Miss Parrot, the two young masters are both the old master's sons and our masters. We should all respect them. Aunt Lin is just too anxious about her daughter's marriage, so she spoke without thinking. I'm sorry to make Miss Parrot laugh. We came here today just to bring Lu Luo and Zhu Lou out to meet the men. It won't cause any trouble. Miss Parrot, just let them out when you are free..."

I was about to say more, but was interrupted by the parrot, "Auntie and this sister's family are not married. I don't know what they are in such a hurry for. Zhulou and Luluo are both pretty young ladies. There is no rush for blind date at this time. They are wearing thick clothes in winter, their slender figures cannot be seen, and their faces will be chapped by the north wind. Why choose winter for blind date? It won't be too late to meet each other in the spring next year." The parrot saw that the little one wanted to say something, and didn't want to bother with her anymore, so he said directly, "I'm busy in the courtyard, so I won't entertain you two." Then he slammed the door and locked it from the inside.

The two looked at each other outside the door. Aunt Lin reacted and scolded, "What's so great about this little bitch? Look, I'll report her to us and punish her!" After that, he left angrily.

The young girl was Lulou's elder sister. She was not as optimistic as Aunt Lin. Aunt Lin asked them to take Lulou back, so there must be something fishy. Thinking of the commotion in Wei Xiaoniang's courtyard two days ago, she said that she almost had a miscarriage. She knew that her sister was someone that Lin Xiaoniang had inserted. Wei Xiaoniang's fall was probably caused by her sister following Lin Xiaoniang's words. Her whole family worked under Lin Xiaoniang and could only listen to her. They were afraid that they would be punished for not being able to take their sister back this time. Their family was different from Aunt Lin. Their family had some kinship with Lin Xiaoniang and some incense. Their family was a servant of the Sheng Mansion. The young girl was full of sorrow.

When the two returned to Lin Qinshuang's courtyard, Zhou Xueniang knew that the matter had not been accomplished when she saw that there was no one behind them. The two knelt down and apologized. Aunt Lin wanted to give Yingwu a slap in the face, hoping that Lin Qinshuang would punish her and vent her anger.

"The maid in Wei's courtyard, Yingwu, is very arrogant. She doesn't let us enter this door or leave Zhulou. She behaves like she did in the courtyard of the eldest lady, and even says that our Young Master Changfeng is not as good as Young Master Changbai..."

"Shut up, who do you want to blame for your own failure? You even drag it onto the Young Master!" Zhou Xueniang scolded her before she could finish. If she dared to drag the Young Master into the matter for her failure, she would be punished if I heard it. After scolding, he ignored the two and went to Lin Qinshuang's room to report.

"Didn't you bring it back?" Lin Qinshuang saw Zhou Xueniang coming in with a look of surprise, and knew that things were not done well.

Lin Qinshuang was not in a hurry, "If that person is really that easy to control, I won't have to worry so much. This

first time is just to test the bottom line." Lin Qinshuang struggled to prop up her body, half leaned on the bed, called Zhou Xueniang to come over, and whispered something.

After lunch, everyone took a nap. The parrot heard the knocking on the door again, and it kept knocking. The parrot was afraid of disturbing the young lady and the young master, so he had to open the courtyard door. The two people were still outside the door.

"Are you done yet? You are waiting for a matchmaking, but now I have no one to spare!" Who knew that Aunt Lin suddenly sat down on the ground, clapping her hands on the ground and crying. The parrot then knew why they came again. Aunt Lin cried and said, "My old man was beaten with a stick because he did not do his job well. The injury is too serious and I am afraid it will not be good. I want to take Zhu Lou back to see his father for the last time. You can't hold him back. It is the law of nature for this girl to be filial to her father. Even if the king of heaven comes, you can't say no." . "

The parrot was speechless and turned to look at the young girl. Meanwhile, the girl was already in tears. The eldest brother in her family who was beaten was the son of a drunkard who beat his wife and children. Lin Xiaoniang knew that their family didn't care about his father, so she attacked the pillar of the family - the eldest brother. The eldest brother was beaten to pieces, and it was said that if he couldn't take care of Lvliu anymore, the eldest brother would die. At this moment, Lvliu (the young girl) understood that Lin Xiaoniang must see her sister, otherwise the eldest brother would be dead. But she also knew that the parrot would definitely stop her, so she responded to the parrot's look and shouted directly to the yard, "Luluo, Luluo, come out quickly, if you don't come out, your brother will die!"

The parrot saw her open her mouth and shouted, and wanted to cover her mouth, but before it could block her mouth, Aunt Lin also shouted, "Zhu Lou, my son, come out quickly, your father is only one breath left, and he wants to see you for the last time! Zhu Lou..." The parrot obviously couldn't cover the mouths of two people with two hands, so it could only try to push the two people out and close the door first.

But the door couldn't block the sound, and the people in the yard soon heard the movement. Mingxi got up first. She was a light sleeper, and was woken up by the knocks on the door. She just didn't want to move. The crying was so loud that she couldn't pretend she didn't hear it. But she didn't get out of bed because she was in confinement, so she asked Minglan to go out and take a look. Minglan's room was used by Zhuli, and she had been sleeping on Mingxi's bed for the past few days. She was also woken up.

Minglan ran outside and heard the shouts of the two people clearly. She asked the parrot a few questions, and the two went into the house together to explain the situation to Mingxi.

Mingxi didn't expect Lin Qinshuang to be so cruel. There was no way to take Zhulou and Luluo away from her, so she let them go out willingly. Mingxi asked the parrot to go to Zhulou and Luluo's room to see their reactions.

When the parrot passed by, it saw Lulu rushing out, "Lulu, what are you doing?" The parrot called her.

Lulu's face was covered with tears, and she said breathlessly, "My elder brother is almost beaten to death, I have to go and see him."

The parrot turned its head away, "Do you know that you may not come back alive after this trip?" The parrot looked at her sadly, "My father is a scoundrel. He beat my mother to death after drinking. It was my elder brother who worked hard to raise me and my sister. He just got married and has no children yet. I can't hurt him!" After saying that, it ran towards the door without looking back.

The parrot helplessly watched Lvluo run away, then turned back to look at Zhu Lou, "What are you going to do?"

Zhu Lou is older than Lvluo, and her parents love her younger brother more at home. She does all the work herself, so she has been more sensible since she was a child, and her heart is deeper. She has been with Lin Qinshuang longer than Lvluo, and she knows that Lin Qinshuang is not as gentle and docile as she pretends to be, and she knows Lin Qinshuang's thundering methods. If she doesn't go back, her father might really be beaten to death, followed by her mother and her brother, but she also wants to live. She didn't want to do bad things in the first place, but it was Lin Qinshuang who asked her to do it. If she didn't do it well, she would not even save her life, but she was unwilling to do it.

She didn't answer the parrot's question, but just looked at the parrot for a long time without saying anything. Finally, she pointed to the location of her bed, then pushed the parrot away and walked out the door.

The crying outside the courtyard gate disappeared...

The parrot returned to Mingxi's room. Mingxi knew that she was not stopped by looking at her expression that looked like she had lost her parents. Mingxi said nothing, took a deep breath, and sighed frequently, hoping that Lin Qinshuang would just send them away. Unfortunately

, things did not go as planned, and things still developed in the worst direction. In the evening, the parrot came back with news that two maids were carried out of Lin Qinshuang's courtyard in the afternoon. They were said to have caught a cold and had a high fever, and they could not bear it.

After hearing the news, the whole house fell silent...
