Picking up a greedy snake [Liao Zhai]

Gu Huai choked for a moment, lowered his head, rested his forehead on Lan Yuyan's shoulder, and said softly, "I'm sorry."

Lan Yuyan's anger was instantly extinguished by Gu Huai's choked up apology.He rubbed Gu Huai's head, and whispered in his ear: "Let's go, since nothing can be changed, then don't read it. Okay?"

Gu Huai did not speak, but nodded quietly.

Lan Yuyan smiled, picked him up and left here.This Shura Hell that was swallowed by black water and filled with screams and corpses was left behind.

When they returned to the inn, Gu Huai was still stuck to Lan Yuyan's body, his arms were tightly wrapped around his neck, his face was buried in his shoulders, and he didn't even raise his head.

When the husky Xiaoqing saw the two of them coming back, she rushed towards them excitedly, wagging her tail and flicking her tongue coquettishly arching back and forth on Lan Yuyan's legs.

Lan Yuyan hugged Gu Huai with both hands, and was tripped by Xiaoqing so much that she almost fell down. In addition, she was already upset, so she couldn't restrain her violent temper, and directly yelled at Xiaoqing: "You are in the way, die quickly! I'm going back to the closet!"

Xiaoqing's ears moved, revealing an expression of disbelief.After that, he raised his hair and let out a wolf howl, and looked at Lan Yuyan provocatively.

Lan Yuyan put Gu Huai on the bed, pointed at the husky and scolded: "Hey, have you learned to talk back? Howl again, howl again, believe it or not, I'll cook you dog meat soup?"

Xiaoqing trembled all over, opened her mouth, but didn't make a sound.With a whimper, he ran into the cabinet with his tail between his legs, and closed the door with his mouth.

Gu Huai watched all this quietly, a smile slowly bloomed on his sad and tired face.

Seeing Gu Huai's smile, Lan Yuyan's heart moved, she stepped forward and kissed the corner of Gu Huai's mouth, and said, "Don't feel bad anymore?"

Gu Huai turned his face slightly, and said in a muffled voice, "It's still... a bit."

Lan Yuyan also moved onto the bed, wrapped her arms around Gu Huai, and whispered in his ear, "I was following that resentful soul and saw her float into the east courtyard."

Gu Huai turned his head and looked at him again.

"There really was a crazy woman in the east courtyard. I stood there and listened to their conversation. I found out that the resentful soul seemed to be the mother of that crazy woman, and that crazy woman was the wife of your Uncle Song. .”

"I know this. I also heard that Uncle Song took another concubine because the wife in the house was barren, and he cared for the concubine ever since. Then, the wife suddenly became pregnant, but Uncle Song couldn't let go of his love for the concubine." Love. The lady jumped into the lake in grief and her mother drowned in the water to save her."

Lan Yuyan nodded and said: "What I heard is basically the same, but there is one thing...the mother and daughter said that the lady in the house did not commit suicide by jumping into the lake, but was pushed down."

Gu Huai's hair stood on end in an instant, and he asked, "Who?"

"I don't know who pushed her down, but I heard from them that it was Song Yushu's concubine Hu Ying who planned this."

Gu Huai breathed out and said, "But if this is the case, the whole thing will become very strange. If Madam was pushed into the water by accident, then she should go to the river to have fun. In this case, she During pregnancy, it is definitely impossible to come to the lake alone, and there must be a group of servants by my side."

"Then, she fell into the lake, and how could it be the turn of the 60-year-old lady to go into the water to save her? What about those servants? Where did they go?"

Lan Yuyan touched Gu Huai's face and said, "What if I said that the servants who followed Madam that day were all accomplices who caused her to fall into the lake?"

Gu Huai opened his eyes wide and looked at Lan Yuyan in disbelief.

"That group of servants has long been bought by Hu Ying. I learned from the conversation between the mother and daughter that Mrs. Mei, the main house, has a violent personality and often beats and scolds the servants around her. Mei's dissatisfaction has been accumulated for a long time."

"It just so happens that Song Yushu took in Hu Ying as his concubine. Hu Ying has a gentle temper and is very much loved by Song Yushu. Therefore, the group of servants who are trying to please Hu Ying one after another."

"But when Hu Ying saw that Mei was pregnant, she felt jealous, so she bribed the servants around Mei, and pushed her into the water while she was playing and relaxing by the lake."

Gu Huai said in a daze, "But Uncle Song told me..."

"Your Uncle Song is well aware of all this, but how dare he tell you the truth?"

After hearing all this, Gu Huai couldn't recover for a long time.After a long time, he opened his mouth and asked, "Then...how is Mei Shi doing now?"

"Dead. The resentful soul saw that her daughter's life was worse than death, and she was tortured so much, so she strangled her daughter to death."

The air fell into silence again.

Lan Yuyan grabbed Gu Huai's shoulders, held his face up so that he could look at her, and said, "So, Huai'er, you don't have to feel sad for these people. This Song Mansion is full of murderers from top to bottom. What happened now is their own fault."

Gu Huai hooked the corners of his mouth, and pulled out an ugly smile: "I'm not sad for them, I just... feel a little chilled. I thought they were all good people, and thought that although Uncle Song was wrong, the crime was not worthy of death... ...but I didn't expect..."

Lan Yuyan looked at Gu Huai with heartache, and suddenly, his expression changed, and he pressed Gu Huai forcefully onto the bed.

Gu Huai didn't understand why Lan Yuyan suddenly went crazy, he struggled in panic and said, "What are you doing? Let go, it hurts so much."

"What am I doing?" Lan Yuyan leaned against his ear and sneered, "Of course I'm asking you to settle accounts. Does it hurt? Pain is fine."

"Calculate?"

Lan Yuyan raised her big hand, and slapped Gu Huai firmly on the hip.Gu Huai let out a scream, his ears turned red to his neck, and he buried his face in the quilt, unable to speak.

"First, what are you doing there? Can't you just wait for me to come back? Who allowed you to fight that wraith with a knife? Do you know how dangerous it is?"

"I'm sorry..."

With another palm up, Gu Huai's body bounced suddenly, and his whole body trembled stiffly.

"Second, you are still clamoring to save people after I rescued you? Can you understand something? Do you know that I saw you almost die... I was so frightened that I almost went crazy?"

The more Lan Yuyan spoke, the more excited she became, and the more she spoke, the angrier she became, as if once again experiencing the heart-piercing pain of losing Gu Huai.With red eyes, he raised his hands and clapped a few times, showing no mercy.

While screaming in pain, Gu Huai tremblingly turned around and grabbed Lan Yuyan's hand, saying, "Don't... I know I was wrong, don't...don't hit me."

Lan Yuyan saw that Gu Huai's eyes were as red as a rabbit's, and his face was also flushed. With a movement in his heart, he dug out the person buried under the quilt, and hugged him into his arms.

Gu Huai was so shy that he almost exploded.

Lan Yuyan pinched his blushing face with a smirk, and said, "Do you dare to do it again in the future?"

"No, no, no...don't dare."
