The news spread before was all based on the servants in the main courtyard. These people are all trustworthy and have been with Mrs. Shangshu for many years.
After Mrs. Shangshu entered the room, she couldn't wait to ask again: "Ziming, tell me quickly, what is going on?"
"Mother, this plan is thanks to Master Wu Zun." Xu Ziming said.
"Master Wu Zun? Is he Master Wu Zun from Fengtian Sect?" Mrs. Shangshu asked in surprise.
In fact, Mrs. Shangshu didn't quite believe that the person who helped Xu Ziming was the wizard from the Fengtian Sect. She heard that the wizard had a weird personality and didn't seem to be a master who liked to help others.
"What mother said is right, it is the witch master from Fengtian Sect. His Royal Highness and Princess have a good relationship with the witch master, so they will help us." Xu Ziming said.
Master Shangshu did not expect that Pluto and his wife were so powerful that they actually knew Master Wu. Everyone said that Master Wu was very mysterious, and it was just like the legend. The plan has been going very smoothly so far, but there is no sign of Master Wu.
"Then where did you hide Jin'er?" Mrs. Shangshu asked worriedly.
Mrs. Shangshu was worried that Xu Ziming would throw the child in her yard. If someone discovered it, wouldn't their plan fail?
"We were worried that Jin'er would be discovered, so after much deliberation we asked the Witch Lord to be taken to Hades' Mansion," Xu Ziming said.
"You sent Jin'er to Pluto's Mansion? Is it okay to disturb His Highness Pluto like this?" Mrs. Shangshu said.
It was rumored that His Highness Pluto also had a very weird temper. If Jin'er angered His Highness Pluto... she could not imagine what would happen next.
"Mother, His Highness Pluto is very nice, and Jin'er likes Princess Pluto, so you can rest assured." Xu Ziming said with a smile.
"This..." Madam Shangshu didn't know what to say.
The second young master smiled and said, "Not only that, Princess Pluto also likes Jin'er quite a bit."
Mrs. Shangshu felt relieved and asked again: "Are you going to test Aunt Liu tonight?"
"Well, even if we can't take her life, we can't spare her easily." Xu Ziming said.
He had already promised the third sister that he would spare her mother's life, and he gave Aunt Liu a chance, but Aunt Liu was just letting her life go smoothly and she had to cause some trouble.
In the evening, the third lady and Xu Yu'er returned to their yard. Just as they entered the house, they heard Kui'er's voice.
"Tao'er, our aunt wants to see the third young lady. Is it possible to invite the third young lady to come out?" Kui'er said with a smile.
Tao'er didn't want to talk to Kui'er anymore, so she went in and told Xu Yu'er about Kui'er's request.
Xu Yu'er looked at the third lady and said to Tao'er: "Tao'er, let Kui'er come in."
"yes."
After Tao'er left, Xu Yu'er said: "Third sister, I think Aunt Liu wants to find out the truth through you. What do you mean..."
"Sister, I don't want to go back." The third lady was very disappointed with Aunt Liu.
"That's fine, it will save her from saying unpleasant things to you." Xu Yu'er said.
At this time, Tao'er and Kui'er had already entered the house.
"I've met the eldest lady, the third lady." Kui'er said respectfully.
"Kui'er, you're welcome, why did you come to my place?" Xu Yu'er asked.
"My aunt asked my servant to come over and ask the third lady to go back. My aunt was worried that the third lady wouldn't have a good rest, so she specially gave her some soup," Kui'er said.
"Aunt Liu is really thoughtful, but she is very partial. My third sister lives with me, so after she boils the tonic soup, why can't she give me a bowl to try?" Xu Yu'er said jokingly.
"Miss, my aunt also asked me to invite you over," Kui'er said.
"You go back and report to Aunt Liu, just say that the third sister has nothing to drink here, and she still needs a bowl of tonic soup? Don't worry, Auntie, I won't treat the third sister badly," Xu Yu'er said.
"But, Miss, Aunt Liu wants you to go over and have soup." Kui'er said anxiously.
"Kui'er, go back and tell Aunt Liu what I mean. Just say that I will have some bird's nests stewed for the third sister to drink so that she doesn't overwork herself." Xu Yu'er said angrily.
"Miss, you don't know Aunt Liu's temper. If I don't invite Third Miss back, I will be skinned by my aunt," Kui'er said pitifully.
Xu Yu'er slammed her palm on the table and said angrily: "Didn't you hear what I said? If you don't leave, you will be treated as per the family law."
"Miss? How can you use lynching?" Kui'er blurted out.
Xu Yu'er sneered and said: "If I want to punish the evil slave, can't I use family law? You can't understand what the master is saying. You have to let us rush over. What do you want to do? I don't think it's better like this. I and the three of you can't understand."
My sister is going to the backyard, and I want to see what Aunt Liu wants to do?"
When Kui'er heard this, she knelt down and begged for mercy: "Miss, please spare me. This is all my own will and has nothing to do with my aunt. My aunt only cares about Miss Third.
I will beg Miss Third to go back and have some soup. It was my slave who conveyed the wrong message, and I will accept my punishment."
After Kui'er finished speaking, she opened her hands left and right and hit herself in the face.
After hitting her for more than a dozen times, Xu Yu'er said lazily: "Okay, stop hitting me."
"Thank you, Miss, for sparing my life," Kui'er said.
"You go back." Xu Yu'er said.
"Yes." Kui'er stood up and quickly left the yard.
When Xu Yu'er saw Kui'er leaving, she breathed a long sigh of relief and felt a lot more relaxed. After seeing the third lady, she burst into laughter. Xu Yu'er couldn't help but laugh when she saw the third lady smiling.
"I didn't expect my eldest sister to have such a cute side," said the third lady.
In her heart, Xu Yu'er has always been steady and looks like a real lady. But the way she just taught Kui'er a lesson made her think Xu Yu'er was cute.
"I have never taught a servant a lesson before, this is the first time." Xu Yu'er said.
"The eldest sister is kind, unlike me who always made trouble for others," the third lady said.
"Now that you have grown up, don't always mention the past. You already know where you made mistakes, and you can just change them in the future. In other words, who can make mistakes?" Xu Yu'er said with emotion.
"Sister, I know." Miss Third said.
After Kui'er returned to the yard, she told her what happened in Xu Yu'er's yard in a more elaborate manner.
Aunt Liu was very surprised. Although Xu Yu'er was her legitimate daughter, she was never arrogant and rarely taught others a lesson. Therefore, Xu Yu'er taught Kui'er a lesson, which surprised her.
Another surprise was the Third Miss. Although the Third Miss was harsh and arrogant when speaking outside, she was very cowardly when facing her. But today Kui'er had already made it so clear, and she was actually indifferent?
That's right, just indifferent.
Because it was Xu Yu'er who always spoke, Xu Ying'er actually didn't say a word.
Aunt Liu saw that Kui'er's cheeks were a little red and swollen, so she took a small bottle from the dressing table and handed it to Kui'er, and said to her: "This bottle of medicine can quickly reduce swelling. You can go back and apply it first."
Aunt Liu still wants to continue to use Kui'er, so she still needs to appease her.
Sure enough, Kui'er was very moved, took the medicine bottle, and said respectfully: "Thank you, madam."
Aunt Liu was originally in a good mood, but because the third lady didn't come back, Kui'er was taught a lesson by Xu Yu'er, and her chest felt as if something was blocking it.
He asked someone to get hot water, and after taking a bath, he lay down on the bed early.
I just don’t know why, whether it’s because the plan went too smoothly and I feel uneasy, or because I’m so happy that I just can’t sleep.
She had no choice but to sit up and prepare to go down to light the candle. However, after she got up, she found a shadow on the window. She rubbed her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. Upon closer inspection, the shadow was actually a branch outside the window.
.
Aunt Liu felt a little thirsty and called Kui'er. When she found that Kui'er didn't respond, she murmured to herself: "This damn girl must have fallen asleep again."
Aunt Liu had no choice but to get up and light the candle by the moonlight, poured herself a glass of water, and drank it all in one gulp.
Just as she poured herself another glass, suddenly, the candle flame was blown out by the wind, and a figure flashed past the window. This time Aunt Liu could clearly see the shadow of a child.
Aunt Liu was frightened and threw the cup in her hand to the ground with a bang.
"Who is it?" Aunt Liu asked warily.
"Hehe, hehe. Don't you know me?" Shadow said.
When Aunt Liu heard that the voice was that of a child, her eyes were full of fear. She asked in a trembling voice: "You, who are you?"
"It's really strange. Why do you want to harm me if you don't know me?" Shadow continued to ask.
Aunt Liu was so frightened that she sat down on the ground. She asked Kui'er's cousin to kill Jin'er. Could this shadow be Jin'er's ghost?
No, no, no, there are no ghosts in this world!
"Who on earth are you, pretending to be a fool in front of me?" Aunt Liu asked after she calmed down and sat on the ground.
Suddenly, the shadow appeared in front of Aunt Liu in an instant, her eyes widened, she looked at Aunt Liu up and down, and then she said, "Hehe, I'm Jin'er."
"Ah!" Aunt Liu was frightened by the shadow and ran away.
"Don't be afraid. No one is playing with me. Come and play with me." Shadow said with a smile.
If Jin'er was really like her usual self, Aunt Liu probably wouldn't be so scared. But when the shadow appeared in front of her, she could see it clearly. The shadow was a child about five years old, and this child's face was covered in bruises.
, the whole body was already soaked and dripping with water. The child's eyes had no black eyes, and the corners of his mouth were cracked and he was smiling at himself, and there was blood flowing out.
"You, you have found the wrong person." Aunt Liu said with her eyes closed.
"How could it be? Didn't you harm me? I remember that uncle said so. If you don't believe it, you can ask him yourself." Shadow continued.
"No!" Aunt Liu exclaimed.
Aunt Liu knew better than anyone else that the man who killed Jin'er probably died in that alley. The child actually asked her to ask him in person, wasn't she going to take away her soul?
"Mrs. Liu, you really followed the old saying, the most poisonous woman's heart. You gave me a thousand taels of silver and asked me to kill Master Jin'er. I have done it for you, but why do you want to drink it for me?
Poisoned wine?" Suddenly, Kui'er's cousin appeared in front of Aunt Liu.
