C114 (1/2)
When the sky was covered in snow, no one else appeared. Next door, Aunt Bai and Uncle Liu went to their nephew's house to be guests. Gu Sister-in-Law left her room early in the morning, but there was no trace of her.
A Jin helplessly stood in the snow, crying anxiously, ”Is there anyone here?”
”Brother Jin, what happened to you?”
Bi Yue carried a basket of freshly picked vegetables and returned from the fields. When she saw her child crying, she stood alone in the snow, her body shaking like a sieve.
”Big Sister Bi Yue!”
Seeing that she had returned, A Jin ran towards her in tears, ”Quickly go and get a doctor! Mother Ding and Sister Dan Xue are almost at their limits!”
”What's going on?”
Bi Yue quickly pulled the child back. Before she even entered the courtyard, she saw her mother lying in a pool of blood. Her heart immediately caught in her throat.
”Mama Ding! Someone come quickly! Help! ”
Bi Yue threw down her vegetable basket and pushed A Jin into the house, her hands still trembling. ”Brother Jin, stay at home and don't come out. This servant will go find someone!”
A Jin nodded while crying. She moved her feet around her mother's body and obediently hid inside the house.
At the turn, he bumped into Lao Huang, who had just returned from the farmland.
Bi Yue rushed up to ask for help. ”Uncle Huang, please help me. There was a thief in my house, someone was injured!”
”It's the new year, and there's such a thing?”
Old Yellow put it down? Head, she quickly patted on the door of her house and shouted towards the inside, ”Her aunt, quickly come out and lend a hand, someone has died!” ”Don't be afraid, there's a barefoot doctor living in the alley. I'll go get him.”
Bi Yue nodded and said gratefully, ”Thank you, Uncle Huang.”
The weasel did not say anything else as it sprinted forward like a wisp of smoke.
Auntie Huang opened the door. When she saw the young maid from Su Zhi's family standing outside, she guessed that something big had happened and quickly left with her.
When they arrived at the courtyard, they realized that the situation was far more serious than they had thought.
”Oh god, it's the new year!” Auntie Huang's legs went soft. She quickly told Bi Yue to find some gauze to stop the bleeding. In the end, she didn't forget to call her son out to report.
When they were almost to the market place, Su Zhi's heart suddenly jumped wildly as she felt extremely uneasy.
She felt around her and remembered that she had not brought her key with her.
After a while, Li Yi would go to the capital and rely on her key to lock the door when it closed.
”Uncle, I've left my shop key at home, I'll have to trouble you to return.”
The coachman acknowledged and immediately turned around.
Halfway there, the carriage suddenly stopped. Through the curtain, the driver's surprised voice could be heard, ”Yo, it's snowing heavily, why is there a person lying on the ground?”
Su Zhi stuck her head out, and indeed, she saw a woman lying not far away.
”Don't think that the little girl fainted when she went out to freeze.”
The driver got off the carriage and walked over curiously. ”Are you alright, little lady?”
When the coachman reached her, the woman suddenly opened her eyes, took out a dagger hidden beneath her, and stabbed at him.
The driver's reaction was very fast. He shouted and quickly retreated.
Only then did Su Zhi clearly see that the woman on the ground was the missing He Qiniang.
”Su Zhi, I'm going to kill you!”
