Until the folding sleeves can no longer move.

Li Yingning let go of her hand, left the tub, staggered a few steps and fell into a chair, her hands and feet going weak.

Somewhat exhausted.

She sat quietly for a moment, until she regained her strength, then she stood up, wiped her body clean slowly, carefully applied powder to cover the red marks, put on clean pajamas, and called Jinshu and Zhelan to come in.

The two maids couldn't help but get angry when they saw water everywhere in the bathroom.

"This Zhexiu is getting more and more lazy. How can he be taken care of...ah!" Jin Shu walked closer to the tub and found Zhexiu in the tub. He couldn't help but scream.

Zhelan also looked horrified, and hurriedly reached out to pull Zhexiu: "What's going on, Zhexiu, Zhexiu!"

"Stop shouting." Li Yingning said calmly, "She is dead."

Zhelan retracted her hand in fear.

Jin Shu carefully checked his sleeves and breathed, and his face instantly turned pale: "I'm really out of breath. Miss, what's going on?"

"I killed him."

Li Yingning had no intention of hiding this from these two girls.

After all, she is only one person, and they are needed for many things.

Zhelan asked in a low voice: "Did Zhexiu make a mistake?"

"She took refuge in Li Siyao and tried to harm me. I couldn't get angry, so I pushed her into the bathtub." Li Yingning said calmly, "Are you afraid?"

Jin Shu suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Let me tell you, why is Zhexiu always running out these days? It turns out he is going to Lanyuan! This traitor deserves to die!"

Zhelan also nodded: "In that case, she indeed deserves to die. Master, do you want to report to the Marquis and Madam?"

"It's such a small matter, so you don't have to bother your parents." Li Yingning had already thought about it, "Jinshu, go to the second door and call Jiujin and ask him to take the person away and deal with it."

Jiujin is Yingyuan's waiter at the second gate. He is still young, but he is tall and clever. He died to protect the Hou Mansion in his previous life, and Li Yingning decided to protect his life in this life.

Jiujin came. Although he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, he was really calm and not shocked when he saw this. He quickly took the sack, stuffed the person into it, and carried him away neatly.

Jinshu and Zhelan cleaned up the house and took the bathtub away to burn without leaving a trace.

But there was suddenly a missing person in the house, so it was inevitable that someone would still ask about it. Li Yingning had discussed it with the two maids early on, and they all said that Zhe Xiu's father had suddenly become seriously ill, and he had given her some money to go back and serve her.

Of course, such rhetoric cannot be completely convincing.

Especially Li Siyao and Xiao Jizi.

They were always paying attention to the movements in Yingyuan, and they all leaned on Zhexiu.

What's more, Zhe Xiu and Xiao Ji are having a heated fight and will never leave without saying goodbye.

They secretly went out to inquire.

Two days later, someone came with news that a female body was found in the river not far from Zhexiu's hometown. It seemed that she had fallen into the water while walking at night.

The local government sent a man to conduct an autopsy, concluded the case, and notified the Hou Mansion.

When the Hou Mansion found out, they sent some silver coins to Zhexiu's family, and the matter was settled.

After dealing with the traitors around him, Li Yingning's heart could not be at peace.

Calculating the time, in at most one year, Gu Yingxun will be convicted and deposed as the crown prince, and then he will fall ill and die suddenly, and all the concubines in the East Palace will be implicated.

After being reborn, although she escaped from Gu Changyuan in time and avoided the fate of being ruined, she still has an engagement with the former prince.

If she married Gu Yingxun, her end would not be much better than in her previous life.

The engagement was bound to be annulled, and looking at the vicious little woman Li Siyao who dangled in front of her eyes all day long, Li Yingning's hands were itching unbearably, her hatred was growing, and she couldn't bear it anymore.

Since you can't bear it, you don't have to bear it anymore.

In the scene before her death, Ci'er's eyes were gnawing at her heart all the time, making her unable to eat day or night. When she closed her eyes, it seemed as if an abyss opened its mouth and rushed towards her, and the darkness instantly swallowed her.

she.

She was trapped in it, unable to struggle.

Waking up from nightmares every day, covered in cold sweat, made her heart become even colder than iron.

Jin Shu and Zhe Lan waited on her day by day, watching helplessly as her plump cheeks quickly diminished, her round peach face turned into a pointed chin, and her pair of black pupils grew larger and deeper.

It seemed that overnight, she transformed from the round and innocent child into the delicate and elegant girl.

However, the coldness in her eyes seemed like ice that could not be melted.
