ff inferior goods as good, and you even dare to poison this county princess” This sentence was also heard by the old lady. She was getting out of the carriage when she heard it, and her legs went numb...This was clearly a murder committed by master and servant, she could have simply raised her hand and ended the lives of both. 。But that wouldn't work, because once she did that, she would never know the reason behind the old lady killing the old general. The world would also never know what happened to the hero who dedicated his life to the country in the end. 。Ye Si Jie's final wish was not only for the murderer to be punished, but also for the truth to be revealed. She wanted it to be known by all, to avenge her grandfather and father. 。But true revenge, killing the murderer alone is not enough. 。She walked out of the house, around to the backyard, and saw that the tree had been dismantled by those women into several sections and left there. The branches were also pulled out. At first glance, you couldn't tell if it was a freshly cut tree or firewood that had been stockpiled for a while. 。Night Wen's lips curled up slightly, chopping wood is it Then I'll give you a tree that can never be chopped down. 。The old lady had a very strange dream. She saw the tree that had been chopped into pieces, and those pieces seemed to come alive, piecing themselves together as if by magic, and turning back into its original form before it was cut down. 。The broken branches grew back, and some even sprouted new buds, almost as if it were spring again. 。 The elderly lady had only slept for less than an hour when she was awakened by a strange dream. As soon as she opened her eyes, she felt a chill run down her spine and even her bedding was soaked with sweat. 。

Jun Tao heard the noise and woke up, lifting the curtain and asking, "What's wrong, Grandmother Did you have a nightmare"

The old lady nodded, trying to speak in as calm a tone as possible: "Go outside and see if that tree has really been chopped down."

“

Jun Tao was taken aback, thinking how could there be a fake Even if she hadn't gone to look, she could still hear the commotion. ” 。But since the old lady had given an order, she still had to go. 。Then he got up, hurried outside, and came back shortly after, saying to the old lady: "It's chopped off, and a stone table is pressed on top of it." 。"

The old lady frowned, "Go to the backyard and take a look. See if the tree is still whole or has been chopped into sections." 。"

Jun Tao was truly puzzled, "Grandmother, what are you suspecting"

The old lady shook her head, "No, it's just that I had a dream. I dreamt that those tree trunks, chopped into pieces, grew back together themselves, the branches did too, and it turned back into a complete tree. Even new buds grew on the branches>>> 。Knowing it was just a dream, Jun Tao let out a breath. "Grandmother is simply too preoccupied with this matter that she's having such strange dreams." 。How could a chopped trunk possibly grow back on its own, and how could a tree sprout new buds on this cold winter night Don't think about it anymore, just go back to sleep for a while. In more than an hour, it will be dawn. 。" Jun Tao helped the old lady back onto the bed, and as she lay down, she realized that the mattress was already damp with sweat. She decided to sit up again and change to a fresh mattress before sleeping. " 。Perhaps Madam Lao was just too tired. She lay down and fell asleep almost without a process, the bedding never changed. 。Jun Tao, after all that commotion, felt much more energetic. She sat on the ground, repeatedly thinking about the old lady's strange dream. Finally, she decided to get up and go to the backyard. 。Whether it's a dream or something else, taking another look won't hurt. It's better to have something to tell Old Madam when she asks tomorrow. 。She walked into the backyard with that mindset, but there was nothing in the backyard. 。It's not that there's nothing at all, but rather that there are no trees. 。Even if that big tree were cut into pieces, it would still be a pile of wood. However, there was no sign of wood or tree sections in the backyard, and there wasn't any extra firewood in the firewood shed. 。Jun Tao felt that something was amiss. She wanted to find those old women, but they were all asleep and couldn't be roused. 。Then she turned back to the front yard wanting to wake up Old Madam. As soon as she returned, the scene before her almost scared her to death! The tree that had been chopped down had actually grown back, right where it used to be 。The trunk was still so thick and strong, but the branches were even more numerous than before. Upon closer inspection, it was indeed as the old woman had said; new buds had sprouted on the branches. 。The tender green shoots symbolize the arrival of spring, but it's only just January, and there's still some time until the real warmth of spring and blooming flowers! Jun Tao's teeth kept clicking together, her whole body trembling. 。This fright made her feel so cold, so unbearably cold that she had to go back to the fireplace. 。But there wasn't much charcoal left in the hearth, and the old lady was not used to burning charcoal all night. She always extinguished it by the middle of the night. 。The room began to grow cold. Jun Tao curled up in the corner of the bed, unable to wake her grandmother and herself too tired to sleep anymore. 。The rest of the night passed like this, everyone in Fulu Courtyard fell asleep, from the servants to the older women, even the old matriarch, no one could be woken up. 。She was the only one in the whole Fukroku courtyard who was awake. She saw those eerie trees with her own eyes, and she endured the terrifying night, pushing herself to the brink of mental collapse. 。Actually, the people in other courtyards weren't much better off. Ye Lianmian was taken to Huayuyu Courtyard by Xiao Shi and had three different doctors see her arm. They even used the name of the Ningguohou Mansion to invite a imperial physician from the palace. 。Although all of these arms can be treated, there will definitely be some disability afterwards. At the very least, the arm won't be able to straighten and you won't be able to lift too heavy things. 。This result was so unbearable that I cried and fussed all night until it was just before midnight before I finally fell asleep. 。He had only slept for an hour when the pain woke him up. He kept humming softly in his room. 。The Xiao family was also kept awake by her commotion. Now that the renovations in the manor were complete, Ye Xing had two options: either go to the newly renovated Qi Hua Pavilion or to Xi Chun's place. She wouldn't stay here and vie for the main house with her anymore. 。She returned to the main house, but it was no longer filled with the excitement she had felt when she first became the mistress of the household and moved in with Hua Yu and Hua Er. 。Now she feels that the entire General's Mansion is a big joke, and all her years of hard work have become ironic. 。Ye Wan Sheng is a heartless person. Night Old Madam is also someone who only cares about profit. Once she can no longer bring benefits to the Ye family, she will be the first to be abandoned. 。But what could she do to get through this This was her home, built over ten years of hard work. She couldn't just watch a concubine walk in and share it with her equally. 。Something must be done to restore one's standing. 。Jinxiu pushed the door open from outside, shaking her head as she walked: "Second sister is making a big fuss, keeps crying out in pain" 。I looked at my arm, it really couldn't straighten up. It was always bent, and I didn't know how the old nurse could have been so heavy-handed. 。"What does Lady think of this matter"

Xiao shook her head, "It's useless, the eldest daughter is simply too stupid. Even if she recovers, she won't be of much use." 。Before this, I had countless thoughts about raising this child. 。It's a pity, he's not capable enough. In the end, he's just a lump of useless mud that can't be used to patch even a wall. 。Jinxiu also chimed in, "Second Sister is truly incompetent. She's not very bright and speaks without thinking. Whenever she opens her mouth, trouble follows." 。Even if you, Madam, were to put your heart and soul into it,

such a person could not be cultivated. 。But we cannot just sit back and wait. The situation at the General's Mansion is becoming increasingly unfavorable to us. Now, not only has the second master distanced himself from your wife, but even the old madam... Your wife still needs to think of a way. Doctor, you are feeling cold, so let's find a better doctor to treat you, and carefully supplement your health. With diligent care, you will surely recover. 。"

Xiao lightly hummed, “What use is a blanket Even if I wasn't cold, this child wouldn't be able to be born.” 。"He doesn't even come into my room anymore. Where am I supposed to have a child" She paused, then continued, "It's not like you can force a child. Besides, even if we had one, it would take ten or more years to raise them. Ten years is a very long time, enough for many things to happen." 。So we can't rely on newborns, we still have to rely on Hong Zhuang. 。"Jinxiu, have you heard anything from Meimei"

Jinxiu shook her head. "No, she's completely disappeared." 。Over these past few days, we have sent out three groups of people to look for him, but all our efforts have been in vain. 。That person just vanished into thin air, I'm starting to wonder if she ever really existed. 。“There's no need for so much mystery, just send more people to investigate.” 。"Rest assured, madam. I have been investigating." 。After all, we can't think the worst of it. Besides, there's not necessarily a girl in Third Sister's belly. There's at least a 50% chance it could be a boy. 。However, the Xiao family did not dare to have such beautiful fantasies. "It's better to be prepared for the worst-case scenario than to have no preparation at all." 。Moreover, even if it weren't about replacing the child, we couldn't leave a woman carrying the sixth prince's child out there. She would be a problem sooner or later. 。"But even if you find it, how will you change it in the future" Jinxiu was really not optimistic about Xiao's plan. "Third Sister is at Su Wang's courtyard. That place has become the new Su Wangfu, and the guards are several times stricter than before." 。I went to see Third Sister several times, but I was turned away by the servants there. 。In this situation, wanting to change children is too difficult. 。"I know it's difficult," Xiao sighed, "but things are in our hands. I'll think about it again, there's always a way." 。As soon as the second watch arrived, those who had tossed and turned all night were unable to hold on any longer and drifted off into a hazy sleep. 。Ye Chulian was called up and forced to put on a thin skirt, standing barefoot on the icy ground in the courtyard. 。The one who woke her was the dance master hired for her by the household. She was a woman in her forties, named Gui Xi. 。but he looks quite young, appearing to be in his late twenties. 。Even thirty is no longer the best age for a woman, especially for dancers. At this age, even if one maintains a graceful posture and flawless appearance, they will eventually succumb to the ravages of time on their body. 。Because physical stamina can't keep up. 。Just like Gui Xi said: "When I was your age, I could dance a whole song without needing to catch my breath." 。But now it's not possible, at most two hours I'll be exhausted and need at least two days to recover. 。So you must seize your youth to learn what you should, do what you should, find a good husband and marry well. Only then will you not betray this life nor the cultivation your family has given you. 。 "ng me as leverage against my older sister..." 。So you see, there's probably nothing much for us to talk about besides my older sister. 。If you must talk about her with me, I still advise you, don't d...
