The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort - 195. sad

Jiang Ruan walked to the man and stopped. The dark guards looked at each other. Jiang Ruan lowered his head and looked down at the man’s hair, and finally said indifferently: “Bai Zhi, don’t you dare to look up at me?”

The dark guards who were still on the side were all taken aback. They were no strangers to the people of the Jinying Palace named Bai Zhi. They were the dowry maids of the young lady. Jiang Ruan’s four maids except Tianzhu was originally Xiao Shao’s. , And the other three are the celebrities of Jinying Palace. On weekdays, Bai Zhi is the calmest and quietest among the maids, and she has a beautiful and pleasant life. The guards often send things here to show their courtesy. Bai Zhi was trusted by Jiang Ruan, and he was an old man who grew up with Jiang Ruan since he was a child. Today, Jiang Ruan arranged the ghost hunting alone. Hearing Bai Zhi’s name, the secret guards were all startled.

The people on the ground did not respond for a long time, but Jiang Ruan did not rush, but stood calmly and waited. After a while, the people on the ground finally took care of their clothes, and slowly stood up, revealing a familiar face.

Bai Zhi’s expression was as gentle and calm as usual. It seemed that he had just finished one of the things Jiang Ruan confessed. There was even a trace of panic on the face of being caught. He just looked at Jiang Ruan and said: The slave girl caught it.”

“This…” When the surrounding dark guards saw that it was Bai Zhi, they were a little confused and stared at Bai Zhi strangely, in case she did anything unfavorable to Jiang Ruan. At this moment, Forsythia, who had heard the news, also chased up from behind. Seeing Bai Anwei surrounded by Bai Anwei, they couldn’t help being shocked. Dewdrop was uncomfortable, and immediately said: “Sister Bai Zhi, how could it be you?”

Forsythia and Bai Zhi grew up together, and the two of them have a deep friendship. Seeing this scene, the first thing that Forsythia thinks after being shocked is that Bai Zhi was wronged. I only eagerly said: “What’s the matter? Baizhi, is there any misunderstanding? The girl is here, she will definitely return you innocence, just say it.”

She was very anxious and wanted to help Bai Zhi get rid of the crime. Just because from Forsythia’s point of view, Bai Zhi really had no reason to frame Jiang Ruan, and it was even more unlikely that the person who informed him was talking about the inner ghost. However, Bai Zhi did not clarify as she hoped, she just smiled, and said: “It’s not a misunderstanding, I am the ghost next to the girl. The girl has never been aware of the details, and this time she has not caught the wrong person.” She glanced again and again. Alice said softly: “Sorry, I lied to you.”

“How is this possible?” Forsythia couldn’t hold back, rushing to grab Bai Zhi’s sleeve, she looked a little excited, no matter how many people were present, the bamboo tube poured beans and said: “You and I have served from childhood to adulthood. For girls, everyone can see clearly what to do with girls. At the beginning of Zhuangzi, you were also dedicated to helping girls deal with. For so many years, I have the right to say what kind of person you are. Baizhi, are you right? What’s unspeakable, the friendship between you and me for many years, and the girl treats you as her own person. If you tell it, the girl will definitely help you. Did something happen to you?”

Bai Zhi paused slightly, but she pulled Forsythia’s hand from her sleeve more forcefully, and said: “I have nothing to say, and there is nothing unspeakable, you can’t believe me, can’t you believe in a girl, when did she Catch the missed person.”

Forsythia was stunned by the determination in Bai Zhi’s eyes. She couldn’t help but step back two steps. When she looked at the woman in front of her, she felt completely unfamiliar. It was completely different from the friend who had spent time with her in the past. She looked at Jiang Ruan with a little puzzled. Jiang Ruan couldn’t see any change in his expression, and only said to the surrounding secret guards: “Go down, just leave a few people outside the yard.”

“Madam Young,” a secret guard said worriedly: “Madam Young is important for safety.”

“An unarmed woman, why worry, Tianzhu is enough here.” Jiang Ruan said lightly. Seeing her resolute attitude, the surrounding dark guards knew that Jiang Ruan was not a person who was easy to be decided by others, so he had to retreat out of the yard.

There are only Forsythia dewdrops left in the courtyard, Tianzhu Jiang Ruan, and Baizhi who doesn’t know what he is thinking.

“The girl treats you well, why are you doing this?” Dew Zhu couldn’t hold back her anger at first. She is a temperament with distinct loves and hates, and a person who always treats Jiang Ruan as a loved one from the bottom of her heart. Suddenly discovering that Bai Zhi was the one who murdered Jiang Ruan secretly, the anger in his heart can be imagined. If I said before that there were some doubts that Bai Zhi was wronged, now that Bai Zhi’s attitude and Jiang Ruan’s determination, Dewdrop also saw the clue, and only righteous indignation was left with Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi did not answer Luzhu’s words, but looked at Jiang Ruan said: “The girl set up this game today to catch me? The girl already knew that I was a poisoner?”

“Yes.” Jiang Ruan said indifferently: “I said before that if I found the person behind and wanted to enter the palace, it was specifically told to you. I know you will send the news out, and you will specially order people to wait in the house. Hunting ghosts.”

“Girls are always smart, you can’t hide anything from your eyes.” Bai Zhi smiled, her expression was very calm: “Since when did the girl discover that slaves are spies?”

Jiang Ruan’s beautiful eyes flashed with a strange emotion, his red lips twitched slightly, but his smile was a bit cold: “Bai Zhi, if possible, you are the person I don’t want to doubt the least.” She was faint and didn’t seem to have any. He said with some emotion: “You are the maid that my mother gave me at the time. You have always been by my side. You have been with me for too long. I always think that the person who can stay with me to the end will never Betrayed me. If there are not many people I trust in this world, Bai Zhi, you can count as one of them.”

Bai Zhi was taken aback for a moment, and seemed to have never expected Jiang Ruan to say such a thing. His lips moved, but in the end he fell silent.

“My food in the palace has been over the hands of Steward Lin. The palace is very strict with these matters. I don’t doubt that there is something wrong with it. If it is a poisonous place, it must be outside. Recruitment. I thought it was in the palace, or Jiang Dan moved something, until later I remembered that on the day I married Xiao Shao, while waiting in the new house, Dewdrop was afraid that I would give me cakes hungry. , And you brought a cup of tea.”

Dewdrop also seemed to recall: “Yes, because I was afraid that the girl was choking while eating cakes, Sister Bai Zhi gave a cup of tea. Could it be the problem with the tea?”

“But with a cup of tea, how can the girl conclude that the slave and maid did it?” Bai Zhi smiled.

“A cup of tea really doesn’t tell you anything. Maybe someone else threw it in. But you know, I can’t get used to things that are too sweet. The pastries were already very sweet that day, but you still served lotus leaves. Honey water for me to drink. It doesn’t seem to matter, but to you, Bai Zhi, you have been with me for more than ten years, and no one knows my eating habits better than you. You are my first-class maid, doing things. Never make such a mistake. You do it because you were flustered and didn’t notice them. Too sweet pastries and too sweet tea, Angelica dahurica, normal you, would not do this. .”

Forsythia followed and looked up at Bai Zhi. She and Bai Zhi had served Jiang Ruan for so many years, and naturally understood that Jiang Ruan was right. Bai Zhi has always been meticulous about Jiang Ruan’s daily life. She is cautious and will not make such a mistake.

After a while, Bai Zhi smiled softly: “The girl is really careful, but she didn’t expect to betray the servant girl with such details. The servant girl is convinced.”

“No, it’s more than that.” Jiang Ruan looked at the burning torch, and the bright fire light reflected everything invisible. And there was a solemn beauty in her face. She said: “And when I came back, Forsythia and the others gathered around. They were happy because I was detoxified. You alone are sad.”

Bai Zhi said in confusion: “The slave and maid are sad because they worry about the girl. Is there anything wrong with this?”

“Yes, you should be worried about me. As a close-knit maid, it is understandable to worry about the injury of your master. But a normal person will first be thankful that others survived a catastrophe. Bai Zhi, from what you see From the beginning, I have not shown a happy expression. This is an unusual thing. It is as if you were not happy because I got better at all, but worried and sad because of me. What are you sad about? Is it because you missed it?” She asked.

Bai Zhi had a meal and looked at Jiang Ruan in a daze: “So I showed my feet here too…”

“Not only that, when I returned to the house, I saw that the room was messy, as if it had not been cleaned up. You said it was because everyone was worried about my injury, so I didn’t want to sweep it.” Jiang Ruan shook his head: “This sentence is right. Forsythia and Dewdrop are suitable, because they are impatient and can’t hide things in their hearts. Once something happens to me, they will have no other thoughts. But you are different, Bai Zhi, you have been with me for so many years, and the temper is the best Calm, even if I fell into the water on Zhanglan’s Zhuangzi, you will still do all the trivial matters in order, because you are a very assertive person and will not change because of external changes. You will be affected by my injury. Not in the mood to do things? No, you are just worrying, because there is something in your heart and you cannot calm down.”

Finally, I suspected that Bai Zhi might have the warning about the previous dream. Forsythia died under Jiang Quanzhu in the previous life, but Bai Zhi beside him stayed at the end to accompany her into the palace. At first, he thought it was Bai Zhi who had a soft temper, but Xia Yan felt soft for a while. Now it seems that no matter what kind of person Bai Zhi is, how can Xia Yan’s prudent temperament allow her to bring a person of her own cronies into the palace.

Bai Zhi looked at Jiang Ruan, suddenly took a step forward, and Tianzhu guarded Jiang Ruan vigilantly. Tianzhu was the latest to come, and he did not have as deep friendship for Bai Zhi as forsythia. Now it is to prove the identity of Bai Zhi’s spy, the person who hated the traitor the most in Jin Yiwei, Bai Zhi is just an enemy in Tianzhu’s eyes.

As soon as Tian Zhu moved, Bai Zhi’s footsteps stopped. She looked at Jiang Ruan, pondered for a while, and then smiled bitterly: “The girl said nothing wrong. After having been with the girl for so many years, the girl knows the slaves well. What’s more, the girl is a person who can easily guess people’s hearts. The trick is really not on the stage in front of the girl, it just adds a lot of laughter to people in vain.”

“No,” Jiang Ruan said indifferently: “I didn’t know your abnormality because I knew you, nor was it because I was good at guessing people’s hearts to know that you were a traitor. The reason why I can understand your identity is because you deliberately Reveal to me.” She crossed Tianzhu, walked slowly in front of Bai Zhi, and looked at Bai Zhi calmly, spit out the fact: “These horse feet are deliberately revealed to me, you don’t want to hide your identity, you I hope I find that this ghost hunting was arranged by you not so much as I arranged it.”

Bai Zhi was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled: “The girl really can laugh, I am not a stupid, how could she take the initiative to send a handle to someone’s hand to let people catch me. Why should I do this?”

“Yes,” Jiang Ruan sighed, and stared closely at her eyes: “I also want to know, why are you doing this?”

The eyes were sharp in those pair of uplifting eyes, as if to strip off all the disguise, and all the thoughts in his heart seemed to be invisible in front of these bright eyes. Bai Zhi looked a little unsure, she gritted her teeth and looked at Jiang Ruan persistently.

“You chose this way, didn’t you just want to tell me the truth?” Jiang Ruan’s voice was soft, and seemed to contain a kind of inducement and bewitching, which made people involuntarily say their own words: “Baizhi, what are your difficulties? , You can tell me. This is not only an account for me, but also an account for yourself. Betrayed by a maid who has been with you for more than ten years, you should at least give me an explanation, otherwise, I would think that I am You can’t keep the master like this.”

Luzhu and Forsythia looked at Bai Zhi. As sisters who got along day and night, they became their enemies overnight. This is really an unacceptable fact, Forsythia said: “Baizhi, you should at least tell us what the reason is.”

Under such gaze, Bai Zhi finally lowered his head. When he raised his eyes again, his gaze was already very calm, as if he had made a major decision. She said: “The girl is right, it’s not that the girl won’t keep people. The reason why Bai Zhi is a poisoner is just because Bai Zhi was originally the lady’s person.”

“How come?” Dewdrop said in surprise: “The lady is already dead, how can you poison the girl again?”

“At the beginning, the servant girl and Forsythia were selected by the first wife and given to the girl, but the servant girl and Forsythia are different. Forsythia has a clean foundation, and is the son of Shangshu Mansion. The servant’s family is in a village under Shangshu Mansion. The maidservant’s elder brother worked under the maid’s housekeeper, and the maid asked the maidservant to follow her to take care of the girl, but she held the slave’s family’s contract of marriage in her hands.”

Forsythia did not expect that there would be such a stubble. She always thought that Bai Zhi, like her, was chosen by Zhao Mei to serve Jiang Ruan, and the foundation was naturally clean and innocent. Who knows that Bai Zhi’s purpose is not simple.

“Although the eldest lady wanted the slave to follow the girl, she never asked the slave to do anything, but occasionally asked about the girl’s situation. The slave did not dare to stop. Then the girl went to the Zhuangzi, and the slave’s family was fortunate to get out of slavery. I have been with the girl all the time, because there is no threat, I want to serve the girl wholeheartedly, which is regarded as the compensation of the previous years.” She paused and laughed: “In the past, the girl was soft-tempered and was often bullied. Later, she was in Zhuangzishan. Somehow, she changed her temper, and the servant girl was really happy for the girl. Later, the lady died, and the servant girl thought that the original thing was gone forever, as long as he lived with the girl all the time. Who knows the first Days, some people took my mother’s tokens to me, and some people found the servant’s family, and asked the servant to give the girl some medicine, otherwise the life of the servant’s family would be insecure.”

“So you used poison on the girl in order to protect your family?” Forsythia asked in surprise. This may be excusable, but as a subordinate, he can never betray his master, so Bai Zhi’s behavior is very disapproving in the eyes of Forsythia. He immediately said: “Even so, did you ever think about girls when you did this? Let’s not mention the things in the past, but now, you can tell the girl about this matter. The girl is so smart and will definitely solve it for you. of!”

“You don’t understand!” Bai Zhi yelled: “Forsythia, your family is innocent, you can be a loyal servant in front of the master. But I am the eldest lady’s person, if this matter is involved, even if not to the girl What do you do, the past things are turned out, the girl will see me in the future, and there will be no barriers. Once this thing is said, I will never be able to go back to the past. Moreover, no matter how powerful a girl is, I will never I dare to play tricks with my family’s lives. I still have older brothers and younger brothers, and I can’t put them in danger just because I’m alone.”

“You are so stubborn!” Forsythia said angrily.

“You say me, or blame me, I don’t care anyway.” Bai Zhi smiled bitterly: “I always committed this heinous crime, and I have no regrets or regrets how the girl punishes me.”

“Then who is the one who asked you to induce poison to the girl?” Dewdrop asked eagerly.

“I don’t know.” Bai Zhi shook his head: “He used a dart to tie a note to me to deliver the message. I don’t know who that person is, and I don’t know what he looks like across the wall.”

“I only ask you a word,” Jiang Ruan said calmly: “Do you know when Jiang Dan poisoned my mother ten years ago?”

Dewdrop Forsythia was shocked, but they didn’t know that Jiang Dan was poisoned. I didn’t know who the person behind the Xia Mansion was before, but was it actually Jiang Dan?

Bai Zhi was silent for a moment before nodding.

Jiang Ruan looked at her coldly. If she said that her attitude towards Bai Zhi was always gentle and did not show the anger of being betrayed, at this moment, she was cold and cold. She said: “You have been with me for so many years. As you said, you did not do anything to harm me. In the most difficult time, you and Forsythia were by my side. This world is safe for one day, and you will use all your power to protect you. Bai Zhi, I don’t hold you accountable for your poisoning to me. If you do these things for your family, it’s me, you may not be able to do better than you. Better. But you watched my mother being poisoned by Jiang Dan’s poison. You could have taken the initiative to remind me today. You didn’t say anything, although all the masters are forgiven, but I can never forgive you for this.”

Bai Zhi was taken aback, and suddenly raised his head to look at Jiang Ruan. Jiang Ruan had always been cold-tempered, and on the surface he didn’t care much about anything, so he had always been very tolerant of the mistakes committed by his servants. But only those who were close to her knew that she was crazy paranoid about certain things. If Bai Zhi had been certain that Jiang Ruan would be disappointed with her because of this incident, she would not really be angry with her because of this. Now Jiang Ruan’s words are clearly expressed, she and her are two hostile camps.

“You have poisoned me, and I have nothing to say. I can’t forgive my mother watching my mother stand by. Bai Zhi, between you and me, the righteousness of master and servant, here in this world, there is nothing to do.”

Every word, with a loud voice, Jiang Ruan’s words are beyond doubt, Forsythia and Dewdrop Tianzhu stood silently aside, and no one spoke. Bai Zhi was dumbfounded, Xiaoxue fell on her one after another, and the flames burned silently in the snow, and she felt very lonely, as if the world had abandoned her.

After a while, she suddenly laughed slightly, and then she laughed bigger and bigger, and almost burst into tears, she said: “I didn’t complete that person’s task, and he can’t spare me anyway, for fear that I will bite again. Get out of him. There is only one way.” Before the voice fell, he slammed into the stone wall. She was already close to the stone wall, and Tianzhu, the best martial artist, was guarding Jiang Ruan, too late to rescue her. Bai Zhi has exerted all his strength this time, and it is clear that he wants to die. There was only a muffled sound, and Forsythia exclaimed, Bai Zhi fell softly, and the blood on his forehead was shocking.

She exhaled loudly, blood and water kept coming out of her mouth, dampening the snow under her body into a blush. She gasped, her voice was like a broken bellows, she could barely hear an unwritten sentence: “Sorry…”

The snow fell into silence again, and there was no sound. Large swaths of snow fell, almost immediately drowning the blood on the ground. Jiang Ruan’s voice was so low that he could hardly hear him, and said, “It’s buried.”

She turned and walked out of the yard, her long crimson skirt and the blood on the ground joined together, her expression was cold, her back was straight, she walked hard and determined, and never looked back at the figure on the ground. However, I walked faster and faster, and I almost started to trot in the snow, and finally stopped abruptly after rushing out of the yard, holding the vermilion pillar next to me with one hand, I felt strangely cold all over my body. .

She pressed her lips tightly, the corners of her mouth were stiff, but her eyes were slightly red.

A deserted figure walked out from behind her, stood behind her, and slowly pulled her shoulders and embraced her in his arms. The youth was handsome, but the slender figure seemed to contain infinite power to make people feel at ease. There was a touch of warmth in this cold winter day.

“Xiao Shao, I’m very sad.” Jiang Ruan’s voice was fatigued than usual. She reached out and hugged the thin waist of the young man in front of him, and buried her head on his shoulders: “Don’t betray me.”
