Records of Mysterious Things in the Southern Dynasties

Chapter 275 Murderer
Outside the study, Xiao Yuhuan felt cold all over. No matter how much she thought the worst of her elder sister, she could not imagine that Xiao Yuyao would say such beastly words.

In the study, Xiao Hong was also shocked: "Are you crazy? That's your biological mother?"

"Of course I know, but I have no choice!" Xiao Yuyao said coldly, "If you keep on wasting time, she will recover tomorrow and it will be too late to kill you."

"..." Xiao Hong held his head and thought hard for a while, and found that what the little girl said made sense.

Even a ruthless character like my third sister-in-law could only kill her when she was weak during childbirth.

After she gives birth, everything will be over...

"How do we kill her? What about the maids around her who know about it?" Xiao Hong raised his head and asked, "How are you going to explain to your father later?"

"This is something you should consider," Xiao Yuyao rolled her eyes and said, "How can a 13 or 14-year-old girl like me consider everything so thoroughly?"

"Alas..." Xiao Hong was speechless.

~~
"I'm going to kill them!" Outside the study, Xiao Yuhuan's eyes were bloodshot, and she wished she could rush in and tear those two beasts to pieces.

Fortunately, Ren Yuan's illusion was greatly enhanced in the dream, and even the sound of talking could be covered up, so the adults in the house were not alarmed.

Ren Yuan and Nangong quickly grabbed Xiao Yuhuan, who whispered, "This is just Xiao Yuyao's dream. Things happened thirty years ago. It will be useless for you to kill them now."

"The most important thing now is to find out how your mother was killed, so that you can avenge her!" Ren Yuan also advised earnestly.

Only then was Xiao Yuhuan managed to stabilize herself.

~~
It was already dark at this time. The three saw Xiao Hong flash to the backyard and enter an empty warehouse.

I saw him narrowing his eyes slightly, muttering something, and tearing a piece of yellow paper with his hands nimbly.

After a while, a lifelike paper figure appeared in his hand. Xiao Hong bit his tongue and sprayed a mouthful of True Yang Saliva, and the paper figure seemed to be given life, trembling slightly, jumping from his hand to the ground, and flashing out of the warehouse.

The paper figure followed the wall like a ghost and slid into the busy kitchen. The fire in the kitchen flickered, and several cooks were busy cooking and making soup. No one noticed the little uninvited guest, who was hiding in the shadows in the corner, quietly watching their every move.

Suddenly, a baby crying was heard from the direction of the delivery room.

The head cook seemed to have heard an order and immediately shouted loudly: "Quick, ginseng soup!"

A cook with a red face hurriedly picked up the ginseng soup that had been prepared long ago and hurried out of the kitchen.

The paper man followed silently, and when they reached a deserted place, it jumped up and attached itself to the cook.

The cook's body suddenly stiffened, her eyes became dull and lifeless. She slowly turned to the left, leaving the original route, and walked towards the warehouse, her movements mechanical and stiff.

In the warehouse, Xiao Hong had been waiting for a long time. When he saw the cook come in, he poured a bottle of colorless and odorless liquid into the soup bowl.

Xiao Hong nodded, and the cook left the warehouse and returned to the correct route.

At this moment, the sound of snapping fingers was heard in the corridor, and the paper man immediately left the cook's body and turned into ashes in mid-air.

Looking at the cook again, she was suddenly distracted and almost dropped the bowl of soup on the ground. She quickly held the tray, shook her head vigorously, calmed herself down, and continued to walk towards the main house.

~~
"The ginseng soup is here!" The cook's joyful voice rang out at the door of the delivery room.

"Bring it in quickly for Madam to drink. It can restore the pulse and strengthen the body, and greatly replenish the vitality." The midwife hurriedly ordered. The maid in the room quickly took the tray and brought it to the delivery bed.

On the delivery bed, Xi Hui, who was pale and exhausted from giving birth, lay. Next to her was a newborn baby who had just been bathed and was wrapped in swaddling clothes.

The housekeeper took the soup bowl offered by the head maid, scooped up a spoonful of ginseng soup, gently blew away the hot steam, and brought it to Xi Hui's mouth.

"Ma'am, regain your strength."

Xi Hui opened his mouth to drink, but Xiao Yuhuan couldn't bear it anymore. She couldn't bear to watch her mother drink the deadly ginseng soup, so she rushed in regardless of everything, showed up and shouted, "No..."

Xi Hui subconsciously turned her head to find the voice, but she didn't see anyone. Just as she was about to ask the maids who was talking, the baby beside her started crying loudly!

"Oh, our Third Mother is really strong. She cries so vigorously!" the midwife flattered with a smile.

Xi Hui had a solemn look on his face, but upon hearing this he smiled with relief and took a sip of the ginseng soup.

When the baby saw this, he cried loudly in panic.

"The child wants to drink milk. Let the wet nurse feed him quickly." The midwife, who considered herself an expert in childcare, gave the order.

The nurse picked up the little girl and blocked her mouth. The little girl could only watch her mother with tears in her eyes, drinking ginseng soup mouthful after mouthful...

Outside the house, Ren Yuan and Nangong used their third eyes to watch this heartbreaking scene. Neither of them blamed Xiao Yuhuan for being impulsive. Just ask, who can watch their mother being killed and still remain calm?

Since they can't do it anyway, they naturally can't be too demanding of Xiao Yuhuan.

"What should we do?" Ren Yuan asked Nangong.

"Let's do this for now. The state in the dream will not affect reality. When we turn back, just bring her back to the boat." Nangong sighed.

The two continued to watch, and after a cup of tea, Xi Hui's poison really took effect. His face turned blue-gray and he rolled around on the bed in pain.

"Oh my, what happened? The baby has already been born, this shouldn't be happening." The midwife was also panicked and quickly called for a doctor.

The main room, which had just quieted down, became noisy again. This time Xiao Yuyao and Xiao Hong also came, and they both lay down in front of the bed and cried loudly.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Xi Hui's eyes were spitting fire, and he pointed at the two people tremblingly. He opened his mouth to speak, but spat out large mouthfuls of black blood.

"Mother means that before my father comes back, you have to listen to Uncle Six!" Xiao Yuyao hurriedly said loudly: "Have you remembered everything?"

One of them was Xiao Yan's eldest daughter, and the other was Xiao Yan's younger brother. In the eyes of the people who did not know the truth, they naturally became the backbone of the time, so they all responded and claimed to be the ones.

The maids and servants who witnessed the affair had no courage to say anything without the support of the lady. They all shrank their necks and kept silent.

No one noticed the deep hatred in the eyes of the newborn baby!
Soon, Xi Hui passed away. Xiao Yuyao and her second sister Xiao Yuwan lay on her body and cried loudly: "Mother, come back! Don't abandon us..."

Xiao Hong first checked Xi Hui's breath, then stood up with tears in his eyes, pointed at the maids and servants who had witnessed his affair, and said coldly: "You didn't take good care of the lady, drag you all away and beat you to death!"
