It took a while for Fang Chengye to recover from his stupor.
His voice is very low, with grief, as if from hell in general: "housekeeper, you go to the big lady please come over."“
Seeing Fang Chengye's look, Liu Dadong is afraid that something serious has happened in the mansion. But now he doesn't dare to ask any more questions, so he has to follow Fang Chengye's instructions and invite Cao Xi to come.
Cao Xi's left eyelid has been jumping since she got up this morning. When she was drinking water just now, she accidentally knocked over the tea cup. She has been a little confused all this morning.
Looking at her like this, Dongling, who was waiting on her, could not help but say: "madam, a famous Taoist came to Yuzhou mansion these two days. It is said that the Taoist has great ability and can help people to seek good fortune and avoid bad luck. Later, I will invite that Taoist to our mansion to do something, so as to avoid the bad luck of these days“
pursue good fortune and avoid disaster? Is that true? Cao Xi was really unlucky these days. I don't know what kind of flattery Feng Su Su used. How did the Marquis suddenly warm up to her?
For so many years, with the help of their Cao family, the Marquis's house has benefited a lot. Feng Susu is just a dog in the Marquis's house in Yuzhou, and he is still a useless one. Looking at the door, the Marquis is is very warm to her. How can Cao Xi swallow this tone in his heart.
He was helped by Dongling to sit in front of the dressing table, reached for the red lipstick paper which was popular among women in Yuzhou Marquis's residence recently, and sipped it gently on his mouth. Cao Xi's whole face was radiant.
Looking at the people in the bronze mirror, Cao Xi's hand slowly stroked his smooth skin: "Dongling, you tell me, I'm old recently?"
"Madam, you are not old at all. Look at your skin. It's the same as pinching water. I'm afraid you can't find a second one who is as old as your wife, but still has the same skin as the girl who hasn't been out of the cabinet." Dongling said, but also his face close to Cao Xi: "madam, do not believe you touch, your skin ah, much more tender than Dongling."
"You girl, even if your mouth is sweet, I don't blame you for hurting you." Cao Xi took out a silver hairpin from the jewelry box and put it on the table: "this hairpin is for you. Tomorrow, ask someone to go back to the Chang'an medical center and buy some Ningyu pills for me."
Cao Xi wants to be good at Dongling. She's so generous that she's willing to follow the eldest lady for a long time. The silver hairpin is to be bought outside. The general appearance needs more than ten liang of silver. What's more, the jewelry in the eldest lady's box is not as bad as the appearance.
With joy in mind, Dongling put away the silver hairpin, picked up the comb and combed Cao Xi's hair. When she heard the sound of hasty footsteps outside.
Seeing Liu Dadong's sweating, Dongling put down her comb and opened her mouth: "I said, housekeeper Liu, what's the matter? Look, I'm worried about you."
To tell you the truth, Liu Dadong doesn't know what happened. The Marquis is still waiting in the hall at the moment, but his look is certainly not good.
"Madam, the Marquis is waiting for you in the hall now. Please go there quickly." Liu Dadong was breathing heavily. He trotted all the way here for fear that he might miss the work of the marquis.
Seeing Liu Dadong like this, Cao Xi's heart thumped for a moment. What bad things happened in the past, and housekeeper Liu shouldn't be so angry?
"Steward Liu, what's the matter with you? Don't you even know? " When Cao Xi followed housekeeper Liu out of the house, he couldn't help asking.
Madam, when I came here just now, I saw that the Marquis's face was not very good. I was afraid that something important had happened in the mansion. I didn't dare to ask him just now“ When Liu Dadong said this, he suddenly thought of something and said, "by the way, Constable Zhao of Wenxing county came to our house before, and he asked me about Yuanning“
Hearing that the officials had come, Cao Xi was even more nervous. Could it be that something happened to Yuanning?
Cao Xi and Liu Dadong came to the hall in a short time. Dongling was really worried, so he followed and waited outside the hall.
Cao Xi enters the hall and looks at Fang Chengye, who is so lost in his chair that he is afraid.
She has never seen Fang Chengye like this. Is it true, as Liu Dadong said, that something big has happened in the mansion, and it has something to do with Yuanning?
"What's the matter, marquis?" Cao Xi goes forward and reaches for Fang Chengye's hand.
Feeling the temperature from his hand, Fang Chengye's eyes mechanically turn and look at Cao Xi: "Xi'er, it's better not to be far away!"
Cao Xi was stunned and said, "Marquis, what's far away?"
Fang Chengye's face suddenly becomes pathetic, and his voice trembles with a trace of hoarseness: "our Yuanning, he's dead!"
Cao Xi's body shook involuntarily, as if all the anger in his body had been taken out in an instant.
With her body bouncing to the ground, her tears fell like broken beads, but she could not hear any crying. After a moment, she grabbed her chest and uttered a voice: "Yuanning, my Yuanning is gone, my Yuanning is gone! Yuanning, how can you be so cruel and leave your mother
Fang Chengye's ears are filled with tears, and his eyes are moist. It's his own son. Even if he doesn't become a tool, it's his son.
Cao Xi cried for a while, but he could hardly cry. Then he got up and reached Fang Chengye's feet with his hands: "Lord Hou, how did Yuanning die?"
Fang Chengye sighed and said in a choked voice: "I told you a long time ago that you should discipline Yuanning well. You just don't listen. The constable Zhao from the government came here just now. When he said that Yuanning was a frivolous woman, he was stabbed into his heart by that woman with a dagger."
Cao Xi shook his head incredulously: "Marquis, it's impossible. Yuanning doesn't do it. Although Yuanning has a big heart to play with, he does everything in a proper way. What's more, when he goes to Wenxing County, I've told him to break all contact with those women and let him marry the Qian family. Yuanning sent me a letter a few days ago, He said that he fell in love with the young lady of the Qian family at a glance. How can he do anything that belittles other women in such a short period of time when he likes the young lady of the Qian family so much? "
Cao Xi, like crazy, grabs Fang Chengye's leg as if he had seized a life-saving straw: "Mr. Hou, someone must be trying to harm our Yuanning. Yes, it must be Feng Su Su, that slut. Mr. Hou, you must make the decision for me. You must give justice to our Yuanning, otherwise he won't die in peace“
Fang Chengye knows that Cao Xi is sad because of Fang Yuanning's death. He is Fang Yuanning's own father. How can he not be sad? But at this moment, when she says this, his heart is full of mixed feelings.
