The days that followed were rare and peaceful, and nothing happened. But Su Xiaoxiao felt that this was the calm before the storm. The calmer it was, the weirder it became.
Days of worry made everyone nervous. Qiu'er complained that Su Xiaoxiao was too cautious. Although Ruyi didn't say anything, Su Xiaoxiao saw that she had two big dark circles under her eyes, and it seemed that she couldn't get a good rest at night.
, since the krait incident, Su Xiaoxiao was afraid that the same thing would happen again, so she took Ruyi to live in her room.
Time passed like this day by day, and Ding Shaoyu sent a letter from flying pigeons. The letter said that he had arranged for Aunt Lan and would come to Ding's house to pick up Su Xiaoxiao and elope in the near future.
While Su Xiaoxiao was happy, she looked at Ruyi, whose belly had already swelled. Her happiness turned into worry. After Ruyi noticed that Su Xiaoxiao got silent after receiving the letter, she stared at her belly from time to time. Although Ruyi had a silent temper,
But he is a rare smart person. Otherwise, he would not have kept his pregnancy secret so closely, just because he was afraid of being poisoned.
"Sister, if you have something to do, just do it. Don't worry about Ruyi and your heirs. God has arrangements of his own. There will be a time in your life. There is no time in your life. Don't force it. Sister, don't worry about Ruyi. Ruyi will take care of herself.
.”
Seeing that Ruyi saw through her thoughts, Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will wait until your child is born safely before letting go and doing what I want to do."
Ruyi silently looked at Su Xiaoxiao's delicate and friendly face, and suddenly smiled, "Sister, she is indeed different from the past."
Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "I'm still me, what's the difference?"
"Although my sister cared about Ruyi in the past, she didn't dare to defend it so blatantly. My sister is as kind as before, but she is more persevering, brave, decisive, and wise."
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and didn't say anything more. If they agreed, they wouldn't say anything more. Some things just need to be understood by each other and there is no need to expose them.
Two days passed peacefully. This day was Ding Shaoze's twenty-fifth birthday. The entire Ding family was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and they were full of joy. They even invited an opera troupe to sing.
The opera troupe was playing all day long, and even the most remote Lichun Courtyard could hear it clearly. When Su Xiaoxiao saw Ruyi standing in the yard listening to the sound of opera, knowing that she loved music and music, she smiled and said, "
Today is Ding Shaoze's birthday, and we have invited an opera troupe to perform, let's go and listen."
When Ruyi heard this, his face was overjoyed, and the frown he had been feeling in recent days was gone.
When Su Xiaoxiao brought Qiu'er and Ruyi came to the attic, "Dingjun Mountain" was being performed on the stage. Su Xiaoxiao was not familiar with Peking Opera, so she only saw a man with a face full of oil paint playing tricks on the stage.
An iron gun.
The seats were on the attic, and Ding Shaoze's ladies were already sitting there.
Su Xiaoxiao and Qiu'er walked in front, and Ruyi walked behind. They saw the man on the stage making a whirring sound with an iron gun, which attracted everyone's applause.
At this moment, the tip of the iron gun in the man's hand suddenly flew out and shot at Ruyi who was behind Su Xiaoxiao. In order to avoid the shimmering tip of the gun, Ruyi hurriedly stepped back. As a result, she was frightened and panicked.
His next foot missed the point and he fell down the stairs.
Su Xiaoxiao was stunned for three seconds before she reacted and rushed down, only to see a large pool of blood flowing out from under Ruyi's body. Su Xiaoxiao hugged Ruyi, who was pale in pain, and shouted, "Steward!
Go and ask for Dr. Zhao! Go quickly!"
Soon, Doctor Zhao and Ding Shaoze rushed over. After Doctor Zhao took the pulse, Su Xiaoxiao and Ding Shaoze rushed over to ask if the child was okay. Doctor Zhao sighed and shook his head.
Su Xiaoxiao felt like there were five thunders hitting her. Ding Shaoze also slumped down on the chair with a pale face. Bai Xue came over weakly, held Su Xiaoxiao's hand and said, "Sister, this matter has nothing to do with you. Don't blame yourself."
.”
Thinking of Qianyun's words and recent events, Su Xiaoxiao shot Bai Xue with sharp, knife-like eyes. Bai Xue backed away in horror, her face turned pale and crumbling. Just as Su Xiaoxiao was about to ask a few questions, Bai Xue fainted.
Ding Shaoze hurriedly asked Dr. Zhao to take Bai Xue's pulse. After Dr. Zhao listened for a while, he congratulated Ding Shaoze repeatedly.
"You came to congratulate me after something like this happened? Mr. Zhao, please stop entertaining the common people." Ding Shaoze said with a gloomy face.
Doctor Zhao stroked the goat's beard and said, "How can I entertain Young Master Ding? It is only because Master Ding's wife is one month pregnant that I congratulate Young Master Ding."
Su Xiaoxiao was shocked. Bai Xue fainted at the right time and was pregnant at the right time. Just when she wanted to check her, she was pregnant!
Presumably with the support of the child in her belly, if Su Xiaoxiao really forced her to question her, Ding Shaoze would not agree.
Bai Xue went back with a face full of joy, and Ding Shaoze, who was happy, also wanted to accompany Bai Xue, completely forgetting that he had just lost his child. He was really heartless!
Su Xiaoxiao stopped Ding Shaoze and said coldly, "Husband, the fourth sister just lost her child. Shouldn't my husband spend more time with the fourth sister? Stay here to comfort her?"
Ding Shaoze looked at Bai Xue in embarrassment. Su Xiaoxiao was not worried that Ding Shaoze would not stay, because based on her understanding of Bai Xue, she would definitely pretend to be a good person and persuade Ding Shaoze to stay. Sure enough, Bai Xue spoke softly, "Husband, the four of us
My sister just lost her child and is not in good health. My husband should stay here with my fourth sister, while Xueer and the maids can go back."
When Ding Shaoze heard this, he held Bai Xue's hand happily and said, "Xue'er is still the most gentle, kind and considerate."
Su Xiaoxiao snorted coldly in her heart.
Ding Shaoze went into the inner room to talk with Ruyi and handed over the inquiry to Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao checked the tip of the iron gun and found that it was a very sharp tip. How could it be possible to use a real gun tip when performing on stage? Su Xiaoxiao asked the man who was acting, but the man kowtowed until his head was covered in blood and said that he didn't know.
What happened? He was obviously holding a prop gun, but someone had changed the tip of the gun and loosened the connector. He didn't know anything about it.
Su Xiaoxiao saw that he couldn't find anything out, so he reported it to the police and asked the police to take the man to the government office, and asked Master Fu Yin's Daxing to greet him. He didn't believe that he didn't call him. Sure enough, Su Xiaoxiao saw that
When the man was arrested and quickly dragged away, his expression changed.
However, soon, someone came to report that the suspect was bitten to death by a venomous snake on the way to the government. Because of Zhu Jianchun's relationship, the policeman told Su Xiaoxiao that the venomous snake that bit the suspect was a krait.
No one knew where the poisonous snake came from, but one thing the detective discovered was that there was a piece of silver on the suspect's body, and there was some powder similar to pollen on the silver.
Su Xiaoxiao immediately understood what was going on. The suspect must have been bribed by someone, and he was waiting for Ruyi to appear, so he fired the iron tip. Even if he couldn't kill Ruyi, he could scare her so much that she fell down the stairs and gave birth to a miscarriage.
Thinking of A Xiao who committed suicide in prison, Su Xiaoxiao focused his suspicion on Bai Xue. However, there was no evidence and Bai Xue was pregnant now. Ding Shaoze would definitely not allow Su Xiaoxiao to question Bai Xue.
