Chapter 31 A person with great luck
After the parrot retreated, it said to the seemingly casual: "This hooded cape of the young lady is cold. I don't know when I can wake up, so I should take it off."
When Meng heard this, she was about to step forward to take off Mingxi's hooded cape with the parrot, but was frightened by the parrot's stern eyes and stopped moving. At this time, the parrot murmured again: "I just came in from outside, and my hands are too cold." The parrot rubbed its hands and was about to step forward to take off Mingxi's clothes.
Sheng Hong heard her words and stopped her, "Let me do it!" Sheng Hong was afraid that the parrot would get cold and Mingxi would get cold, so he did it himself, with the parrot supporting him. After a series of operations, Mingxi's hooded cape was taken off, but as she took off her clothes, Mingxi's collar loosened and a handkerchief fell off.
Sheng Hong didn't care at first, it was just a handkerchief, but the parrot picked up the handkerchief at a very fast speed and hid it behind its body, which attracted Sheng Hong's attention. Sheng Hong
glanced at the parrot fiercely and ordered her, "Take it out!"
The parrot refused to move at first, and Sheng Hong saw that her eyes were getting more and more dangerous. The parrot had to take out the handkerchief tremblingly. Sheng Hong stretched out his hand and the parrot handed it over carefully.
Sheng Hong took the handkerchief and unfolded it. There seemed to be some kind of regular bloodstains on it. Sheng Hong turned it over and over to observe it carefully, and then he found that it was a blood letter. It was just that the person who wrote it didn't know whether he wrote it in a hurry or the person who wrote the blood letter didn't know how to write well. The words were difficult to recognize, and Sheng Hong had a hard time reading it.
The parrot was a little anxious when Sheng Hong was unable to explain the contents of the handkerchief. She couldn't wait for Sheng Hong to ask her. She knew that she could tell it! Sheng Hong still understood the words on it, "Mrs. Lin killed me and Lu Luo"!
Sheng Hong suppressed his emotions and asked in a low voice, "Where did this come from?"
The parrot was waiting for him to ask, "My Lord, this was found in Zhu Lou's quilt. Their previous house gave them to Lemon and Orange, but since their family didn't come to take the quilt and other old things away, my wife asked me to pile them aside. In recent days, the weather has been getting colder. My wife said that it would be a waste to keep these old things there, so it would be better to pack them up and give them to those in need. I found this when I was packing the quilt. I... I gave it to my wife, and she was very sad when she saw it, and told me not to let anyone know about this handkerchief. "After that, the young lady put the handkerchief away. I didn’t know that the young lady actually carried it close to her body..."
Sheng Hong lowered his head and listened to the parrot. After hearing the latter part, he tightened the handkerchief. He had tested Shuyi before. She had some doubts about her fall, but she was not sure. Even when he confined Lin Qinshuang at the beginning, he only said that she made a mistake and did not make her deeds public. He privately did not want these two women he loved to be hostile to each other. He was currently very satisfied with the life of one wife and two concubines. Lin Qinshuang made a big mistake but fortunately did not cause a big disaster. He was going to send her back to Youyang and take her back after a while. But now Wei Shuyi obviously knows the truth. What should he choose?
While Sheng Hong was still struggling, Mingxi quietly opened her eyes. It was time for her to wake up! She stared at the handkerchief in Sheng Hong's hand, and just kept staring at it. Sheng Hong turned around inadvertently and saw her staring at the handkerchief in his hand without blinking. Sheng Hong suddenly felt guilty. Yi'er was the victim. He said he would give her an explanation, but he almost promised Shuang'er to let her out and not to restrain her.
"Master, today is Zhenzhen's full moon banquet..." Mingxi paused here, "I am happy. The old lady raised Zhenzhen very well. It's good to see Zhenzhen. Even if he doesn't grow up in front of me, I am happy."
Mingxi looked at Sheng Hong, his eyes were no longer full of loving admiration, but a little condemnation and questioning, "I was very angry when I got the handkerchief that day. I wanted to ask Master if Lin was locked up because she harmed me, Zhu Lou and Lu Luo, but Master was so happy every time he came to see me, I... I don't want to embarrass you, so I persuaded myself that since Zhenzhen and I are both fine, let's just forget about it! I really want to just forget about it! But it was my Zhenzhen's first big day, and she refused to let Zhenzhen have a smooth day! Master, what did my Zhenzhen do wrong? What did I do wrong? Is it wrong to be your woman? If you are reluctant to punish me, then let me go! Let me live out my life with this crippled body!" Sheng Hong looked at Mingxi's deathly pale face and made a decision in his heart.
Later that day, Mingxi returned to his own yard, closed the door to thank the guests, and just concentrated on recuperating.
Sheng Hong no longer locked Lin Qinshuang up in the house, allowing her to come and go freely in her own yard, and also allowed Molan and Changfeng to visit her, but they were not allowed to leave the yard. Sheng Hong also never visited Lin Qinshuang again.
No one said anything about this. Lin Qinshuang and Mingxi were injured one after another, and Sheng Hong was silent. The eldest lady also broke her usual habit of not caring about the two concubines, and the old lady was content with having a grandson. The whole Sheng Mansion showed a sense of desolation.
This resentful mood continued until the New Year's Eve. The Sheng family invited a Taoist priest to chant sutras. This was a festival custom, and every family did this. But the Taoist priest, whether he was trying to trick people or not, refused to leave after chanting and collecting money. He waved his whisk and pointed to the northeast of the Sheng family, saying that there was a person with great luck there. She had opportunities and was a blessed person. With her, the Sheng family would prosper for a hundred years.
These words finally shocked Sheng Hong. The Taoist priest was dressed as an ordinary wandering Taoist priest. Because the masters of the Sheng family had not paid attention to it these days, the matter of inviting the Taoist priest to chant sutras on the New Year's Eve was delayed. When the servant was asked to invite them, all the famous Taoist priests were invited by other families. In the end, the servant of the Sheng family temporarily invited him back from the street. The servant thought he had just finished chanting sutras in another family.
The Taoist said that he was from Suzhou Xuanmiao Pass and called himself Xuanmiao Taoist. Sheng Hong was skeptical about what he said, but out of respect, he still wanted to invite him to the main hall for a cup of tea. Unexpectedly, Xuanmiao Taoist refused. He flicked his whisk and said, "Today's fate has ended. We will meet again if we have the chance. Let's have tea together then!" After that, without waiting for Sheng Hong to stay, he flicked his whisk again and his figure went away. This unrestrained style really looks a bit like an immortal.
When Sheng Hong turned around and went back to the mansion, he thought that Wei Shuyi and Minglan lived in the northeast corner! After talking about it that day, Wei Shuyi locked the gate again and didn't allow anyone to come in and out at will. Sheng Hong wanted to knock on the door and go in several times, but he remembered that lifeless face and walked away again. But today, Daotu specifically mentioned the northeast corner. Should he use this excuse to go in and take a look? Wei
Shuyi, or Mingxi, who was missed by Sheng Hong, was indeed living a very comfortable life. He used his dead heart as a shield to close the door and refuse visitors. Mingxi hid in the yard every day and ate, drank and played happily. Not only did he get healthy, but he also gained weight. Mingxi was very satisfied with this plump body now. It was prominent where it should be prominent, curvy where it should be curvy, and slim where it should be slim. Mingxi herself was greedy just by looking at it.
During the convalescence period, another incident happened. Luluo's sister Luzhu came to the door. She came to surrender and said she was willing to serve Mingxi. Mingxi neither agreed nor refused. She did not know Luzhu's background and did not know her purpose. Luzhu vowed to avenge Luluo, but Luluo had been gone for so long, why did she show up at this time? Parrot guessed that after seeing Mingxi and Lin Qinshuang's last game, the other party felt that Mingxi had the ability to fight, so he dared to bet and surrender. However, it is still uncertain. Mingxi decided to wait and see and decide whether to use it later.
