The steward looked at the corn porridge and couldn't help but shake his head.
"It's a pity," the steward's voice was hoarse, "It took a lot of effort to find the corn. This is the frontier. It's so difficult to find these. When you find them, you have to carefully select them. In the past, when the first master and the second master were guarding the checkpoint, they were sick or
It’s because I was injured that I let such a bowl of porridge be cooked on the stove to drink.”
Miss Yu San didn't want to hear what the steward said. She finally saw her family members, but the steward seemed to have gone crazy.
The steward raised his hand and carefully ate the corn porridge sprinkled on his sleeve, as if it was an extremely precious thing.
After a while, the steward picked up the remaining half bowl of porridge again and said: "Miss Third, there is still half a bowl here, you can eat it!"
It seemed that as long as she didn't eat, the steward wouldn't answer her questions.
"This corn is not easy to come by, it is not easy to come by!"
The steward held the bowl stubbornly, and Miss Yu San had no choice but to take it.
"Eat, Miss Third." The steward raised his hand with a look of anticipation on his face.
Miss Yu San picked up the porridge, but just touched her lips. She really had no appetite to eat these things. Her whole heart felt like it was being burned, and she wished she could get out of this prison immediately.
There are insects and rats everywhere, and it's so cold at night that people shiver.
"Third Miss, are you cold?" the steward asked again, "When I was young, I came to the frontier with the old man, and I realized that it is extremely cold here. This is how our old man and the two gentlemen came here. Compared with here, we in Datong
How comfortable and comfortable we are at home, Miss Third, do you still remember?"
Miss Yu San couldn't help but feel a sore nose when she thought of her days in Datong: "I also want to go back. Will my second brother and father come to save me?"
"Second Master is here to save you," the steward said in a low voice. "Second Master said he would try every means to save you. He cannot let you sink to the point where your reputation is completely lost, otherwise you will be sorry for the ancestors of the Yu family."
Miss Yu San shook her head: "I have not lost my reputation. It's all because of them. They harmed me. The second brother can't blame me. I didn't expect this result. It was my father's intention to come to Nu'er to do it. The second brother also
Agreed, what do I, a woman, know? I’m just helping from the sidelines.”
"You are more than just a female family member. You do things that ordinary female family members cannot do," the steward said. "Second Master tried every means to save you. He went to the surrounding health centers for help and wanted to find someone familiar to help. He could find someone
They all told me not to save you anymore. You have lost your innocence by interacting with Vice General Fan and those people in private."
Miss Yu San couldn't help but trembled: "Vice-General Fan is slandering me, what about others? I can confront him."
The steward said: "Vice-General Fan is dead. Third Miss has known about it for a long time, right? Vice-General Fan said those disgusting words before he died, and everyone in the nearby guardhouse knows it. That's why Third Miss came here and was so angry."
Many generals want to rob the third lady and the Yu family's property."
Miss Yu San's voice trembled: "You can't believe Vice General Fan's words. They are all lies."
The steward ignored Miss Yu San and continued: "Vice General Fan said that you have two red moles on your chest, and he took your little clothes to show them around. He said that you asked grandma to teach many women. Who is willing to send troops to help the Yu family?
I will let these women serve, and those women are better than those from Goulan Courtyard."
Miss Yu San thought of Mrs. Ji. All this was arranged by Mrs. Ji. First, let her destroy her innocence, and then let her bring those women.
"I was murdered, I..." Miss Yu San didn't know how to argue.
The steward said: "Second Master saw those girls, they were all twelve or thirteen years old. Fortunately, they were rescued by Aunt Song's people, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous and the Yu family would be charged with another crime."
Miss Yu San's whole body collapsed. What she was most worried about happened: "I was fooled and deceived." Thinking of her father, her mother who loved her, and her second brother who protected her, she felt a little bit nervous.
expect.
Miss Yu San stared at the steward: "You ask my second brother to come, I will tell him, I will tell him the truth."
The steward said dully: "That was all your choice. You believed in Li Xu and encouraged the second master to plot Nuerqian. The second master relied on his connections in Nuerqian to do whatever he wanted, and now he has received karma."
Miss Yu San was about to reprimand the steward for saying such words in front of her, but she found that the steward's face was full of tears, and she was stunned for a moment.
"Third Miss, do you want to see the Second Master?"
Miss Yu San was stunned and did not answer for a moment.
The steward said: "As long as you do as I say, you can see the second master."
Miss Yu San also shed tears: "I...what should I do?"
The steward looked at the porridge on the ground: "Drink that bowl of porridge, and you will meet the second master. This is a path that the second master has worked hard to buy for you."
The steward's face began to distort as he spoke, and his whole body shrank together.
Miss Yu San realized something and looked at the half bowl of corn porridge beside her: "You poisoned it, right... Xu Qinghuan asked you to come, she wanted you to kill me... You actually betrayed us Yu
Home……"
"Miss Third, you are such a smart person, don't go down that road of no return," the steward said sadly, "I didn't want to come, but the second master asked me to come. You have harmed the entire Yu family, let us
These servants are all angry when they look at it. You should have died a more miserable death, and you should not have been killed by a bowl of poison like this.
Several of my children died fighting with the second master, and they became known as traitors. There are no bones left. Why can you die so honorably?
Haven't you been asking where the second master went? The second master went to assassinate Li Xu to save the Yu family, and he must be gone now."
The second brother is dead, and he went to assassinate Li Xu. Miss Yu San opened her eyes wide: "Why... why... the second brother has to be so stupid."
The steward's eyes were fixed on Miss Yu San, with a deep chill in his eyes.
Miss Yu San looked scared.
"Third Miss, you can eat. I will accompany you on the way and serve you like a master. The Second Master will also protect you when you get there. The Second Master said that as long as you do this, he will forgive you.
If you don't die now, there are only two outcomes. Either the Tatars come into the city and capture you, and those people will not pity you, or you are sent to the capital, and the traitor's daughter will also die. At that time, you want to die
A bowl of poison is also a luxury."
Miss Yu San looked at the half bowl of porridge, stretched out her hand tremblingly, picked up the bowl and slowly brought it to her mouth. When the corn touched her lips, she immediately seemed to be stabbed hard.
Suddenly, he immediately threw the bowl in his hand in horror.
"Pa" the bowl shattered on the ground.
Upon seeing this, the steward immediately stretched out his hand to pinch Miss Yu San's neck. Unfortunately, the two were too far away and the steward's hand could not reach it, so he could only wave it randomly in the air.
"You are such a scourge. You have harmed so many people and the entire Yu family. So many people have died, but you don't dare to die. You will definitely die even more miserably in the future. No one will collect your body. Will you be with me?"
Those children are the same... Yes, this is only fair, Second Master... I have already done it... She refused, she refused... Don't blame me..."
After the steward said this, he suddenly vomited and vomited out a lot of filth. His eyes were bloodshot, as if he would shed tears of blood the next moment. He lay on the wooden bars of the cell and struggled continuously until he could no longer move.
I don't know how long it took for the jailer to come in and take the steward's body out. Miss Yu San huddled in the corner. Only now did she think clearly that no one would come to save her anymore, because the entire Yu family could not escape death, just because
She believed in Li Xu, wanted to marry Li Xu, and made her own plans, and finally killed all her family members.
Miss Yu San tremblingly went to pick up the porcelain piece on the ground, and then made a determined stroke on her wrist.
Pain came immediately, and blood flowed down the separated skin, but the blood soon stagnated. Apparently she scratched too lightly. She picked up the porcelain piece again and put it on her wrist, but she lost the courage to cut again.
Go down.
Miss Yu San dropped the porcelain piece and hugged her shoulders and cried bitterly. Even suicide was so difficult. After crying for a while, the surroundings were still empty and only darkness accompanied her, as if she was already dead.
…
"Captain," Zhang Zhenren walked into the military tent and reported to Song Chengxuan, "Li Xu's troops have bypassed Fuyu Guard and headed northeast. Are you preparing to take shelter temporarily?"
The lieutenants in the military tent stood up one after another.
"Hey, you just ran away like this? You just wanted to stay away from us because you were afraid, and then come back to reap the benefits after we finish dealing with the Tatars."
"Captain Song, what should we do? Should we lead our troops back to Fuyu Guard now?"
