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!"
"She, she has a weapon!" The coachman was old, and he didn't dare to rush forward to help. He abandoned the carriage and rolled away.
Su Zhi quickly regained her senses and was about to drive the carriage forward.
He Qiniang was one step ahead of her and she controlled her movements.
Su Zhi accidentally fell into the snow while dodging. After feeling pain, she got up and hurriedly ran in the opposite direction.
"Do you think you can escape?"
He Qi Niang quickly caught up, forcing her to the stream.
The stream had formed a thin layer of ice. If a person were to stand on it, they would definitely sink and die from the cold, even if they were not drowned.
Seeing that they had reached a dead end, Su Zhi thought of something and advised in a low voice, "Seventh Madame, you don't have to make a move against me." "You already killed your mother, so it should be a capital offense, but as long as you are willing to turn yourself in, you still have a chance to live. Even if you are hopeless, you have to think for the child in your belly.
"Hahahaha, naive!"
When she mentioned that bitter child, her eyes only showed the slightest hint of softness.
"Do you think my child is still here? Let me tell you, he was beaten up by my heartless mother-in-law for a bowl of saffron medicine! "
It was no wonder that the woman before his eyes would kill him and become his executioner.
"It's all your fault! It's all your fault! If you hadn't told someone else that I am pregnant, how could I have ended up like this? "
Su Zhi quickly waved her hand and explained, "No, it's not me. I didn't do that, believe me!"
"Who else could it be other than you? The only one who knows that I have a body is you! "
The other day, when He Qiniang asked for help, she had indeed said that only Su Zhi knew about this. However, Su Zhi dared to vouch for it with her life, and had never exposed this matter. But how did it turn out like this?
She quickly thought for a while and said, "Oh right, I asked you to go and find that lover of yours. Did you go and find him? Was this news spread by him? Perhaps he wants to get rid of you and take this opportunity to embarrass you. "
A light flashed in He Qiniang's eyes as the dagger in her hand trembled slightly.
Su Zhi took the opportunity to summon the system and retrieve an electric shock rod as a backup.
"No, that's not possible. He said that he still loves me, but now that he wants this child, he will definitely be unjustly named." Therefore, the two of them had argued that day, and then separated on bad terms.
"Seventh Madame, think about it. If I really wanted to harm you, why wait until today?"
"Then maybe you're looking for evidence?"
Su Zhi stomped her feet in anger, "He Qi Niang! Did you lose your mind to that man? I only ask you, how long have you two been in this relationship? Since he already had a child, it couldn't possibly be in just a few short days. It's been so long. Did he promise you anything? Have you ever paid for anything? Did I really love you, other than to feel something new in you? "
"You shut up!"
As if stabbed by a pain that the woman didn't want to think about, she covered her head and glared at Su Zhi with her scarlet eyes, like a crazed beast.
"On what basis! They're all widows, and everyone likes you? Why! "
She pressed closer and closer, forcing Su Zhi to retreat.
"He Qi Niang, calm down. Although you are pitiful, have you ever thought about your own hateful aspects? What do you do with people? I told you before that not everyone is as bad as you think. "
The woman smiled coldly, raised the dagger in her hand and said, "You are right, I hate them. Why should I stay as a widow? So, both you and I don't need to be stupid, everyone will die for sure! "
The woman who had lost her mind threw herself at Su Zhi with a roar, like a ferocious ghost that had crawled out of hell.
Su Zhi calmed herself down and raised the electric shock rod in her hand. Just as she was about to go forward, she was interrupted by a man rushing over in a hurry.
"My wife, this prince has come to save you!"
