Tomorrow is the enthronement ceremony, and the entire priest's mansion is being cleaned, and this courtyard is no exception. The maid unlocked the courtyard door, and after cleaning the door frame, the two went to the well to fetch water.
Zhuang Xiaoyu happened to come over either early or late, went straight into the courtyard, walked all the way to the back room, and searched for the bottles and jars left by Dr. Zhong and later sealed up by Zhuang Qingyun...
There were no windows in the room, and thick curtains were covered everywhere. Zhuang Xiaoyu was wearing a gray shirt, squatting next to the tall box, separated from the door of the inner room by several curtains and a large screen.
The shell wind chimes hanging on the beams of the house were blown crisply by the wind.
The two women came in with a bucket of water, and when they heard this sound, they were terrified: "This sound is really creepy, fortunately, we are cleaning the yard together, I would definitely be scared to death by myself. "
"Yes, Dr. Zhong died in vain, what if the wronged soul persists?"
"Don't scare yourself. There are not many souls in the priest's mansion. I haven't seen anything. With the high priest here, any souls dare not approach."
"It's true, Mr. Zhuang has committed so many crimes, but he hasn't seen any retribution."
When Zhuang Xiaoyu heard the mother-in-law's voice, the porcelain bottle in her hand fell and rolled on the ground, making a slight sound.
The mother-in-law said vigilantly: "Who, who is behind."
"Meow." There was a meow, and the white cat jumped in front of the two of them and rushed out the door.
The two women breathed a sigh of relief, and then patted their chests in fear: "I was scared to death, only since my wife was pregnant, all cats, cats and dogs in this mansion have been driven to these places, and only these places can accommodate them." Get these little bastards."
"Hey, it's a pity, the child in Madam's womb still hasn't been kept. The high priest lost a lot of weight in those few days. I heard from those who served the high priest that the high priest didn't touch a drop of rice in those few days, so he locked himself up. In the wing room for a whole day, everything in the room was smashed to pieces, all stained with blood, the wound on the high priest's hand was bandaged by Master Qingyun himself..."
"If the child conceived by the madam is born, I don't know how the high priest will spoil it. It's a pity that the child is also unlucky..."
"Who is to blame? Don't you want to blame the Zhuang family's elders for committing too many crimes when they were still alive. If Master Zhuang hadn't had an affair with the saint in his lifetime, he was afraid that the saint's pregnancy would ruin his reputation at the beginning, so he wouldn't reward her. What kind of fragrant pills mixed with herring fruit oil...
I heard that this thing has no effect on ordinary people, but it has a great effect on pregnant women. The young miss of the Min family wants to replace his wife, how can she let her give birth to the child..."
"Yes, yes, it's really a crime, the child is innocent... It's really a karmic cycle, and the retribution is not good, and it's all reported to my daughter..."
…
The two women just finished wiping the furniture in front and went out without pushing the door of the warehouse in the back room.
Zhuang Xiaoyu sat quietly in the warehouse, watched the light spots coming in from the roof disappear little by little, and then realized that it was getting late, she carefully looked at the writing on the medicine bottle, picked out a few bottles of pills, Pour out a few grains, mix them together, spread them out in the palm of your hand and look at them for a while, rub them all into your mouth, and swallow them desperately...
Then, put all of Dr. Zhong's things back to their original positions, stood up and walked out slowly.
