The wife of a marquis died tragically and was divorced. After her rebirth, she killed people everywh

With the support of Master Xie, Xie Liuzheng was able to do things more easily and quickly assigned all the preparatory tasks.

The next morning, when he was preparing to go to the silver shop and paid his respects to Xie Xiangyu in her room, he found that his third uncle's two granddaughters, Xie Liuhui and Xie Liufang, were there.

Xie Liuhui and Xie Liuzheng were born in the same year, only three months apart. Xie Liufang was two years younger than the two of them. When they saw Xie Liuzheng come in, they all stood up and greeted her.

Xie Liuzheng returned the greeting with a smile, exchanged a few words of greeting, and invited the two of them to sit down and talk.

Xie Xiangyu continued the previous topic, "How is Third Uncle's condition? Is the medicine that Doctor Bai prescribed last time not working?"

Xie Liuhui shook her head and whispered, "He's not getting better. He stays in his room every day, shouting that someone wants to harm him. So my mother asked us to stay at my aunt's place for a few days."

Xie Liufang also said, "Mother should have personally sent us here, but there was a lot of trouble at home because of Grandpa's illness... Mother couldn't leave, so she let us come here by ourselves. Please, Aunt, please be kind and let us stay for a few days."

When a younger member of the same clan came to ask for help, Master Xie Xiang would naturally not refuse. "The house is empty anyway, you sisters can just stay here. Your cousin is usually bored at home alone."

He ordered the servants to clean two guest rooms and buy some quilts, bed curtains and other items for the two of them to stay in.

The two of them looked happy, stood up to thank Xie Xiangyu, and took the initiative to get close to Xie Liuzheng.

Xie Liuzheng actually felt quite sympathetic towards the two sisters. The Third Uncle was not an ordinary son-loving person, and he didn't pay much attention to his two biological daughters. The second daughter was tortured by her husband's family and almost had a miscarriage. She returned to her parents' home and cried. The Third Uncle didn't help his daughter to ask the wife for an explanation, but scolded the second daughter instead.

The second daughter went back to her parents' home crying, and then went back to her husband's home crying. From then on, except for sending servants to deliver a New Year gift every year, she no longer had any contact with her parents' home.

Uncle San was so cold to his own daughter, not to mention his two granddaughters? He either treated them coldly or scolded them. When his daughter-in-law wanted to buy some new clothes for the two granddaughters, Uncle San would scold her when he found out. It was obvious how frustrated they were at home.

The two of them were so cautious that it was heartbreaking. Xie Liuzheng took the initiative to chat with them to ease their tension. The two of them felt Xie Liuzheng's kindness and gradually calmed down.

Xie Liuzheng had some important business to attend to, so after breakfast he sat for a while and then went out, not returning until dusk.

Xie Liuhui and Xie Liufang had become familiar and close to Xie Xiangyu. They sat next to her, one on each side, chatting and laughing. Xie Xiangyu burst into laughter after hearing what they said.

Looking up, he saw Xie Liuzheng and waved to her to come over. Xie Liufang stood up and gave her seat to Xie Liuzheng.

"Liu Zheng, your two sisters are very interesting. Chat and laugh with them, and the days will pass faster." Xie Xiangyu wiped the tears from laughter and asked about the silver shop.

After a few words, dinner was served.

Xie Liuhui and Xie Liufang helped to set the table and chopsticks, and helped Master Xie Xiang to add rice and dishes. They were very well-behaved and attentive.

Xie Liuzheng chatted with Xie Xiangyu for a while, then went back to wash up. Xie Xiangyu felt sorry for her because she must be very tired after running around outside all day, so she didn't keep her.

Qiuyue helped Xie Liuzheng take off her hair ornaments and couldn't help but whisper, "The two cousins ​​really don't consider themselves as outsiders. In our house, it's not their turn to add more food for Madam."

"Don't talk nonsense." Xie Liuzheng scolded Qiuyue lightly, and Qiuyue lowered her head and dared not say anything.

Xie Liuzheng knew that she was feeling unfair for him, so he paused for a moment and said calmly, "Blood ties cannot be replaced by anyone, and outsiders are still outsiders no matter how close they are."

"Don't say such stupid things again. If people hear us, they will think we are petty and can't even accommodate two guests."

Qiuyue realized her mistake and squatted down to admit it. "It was my fault, Miss, please don't be angry."

"Get up." Xie Liuzheng walked into the bathroom first, took off his clothes and slowly slid into the hot water.

I had been sitting in the jewelry store for a whole day and didn’t think anything was wrong, but when I soaked in the warm water, I felt sore all over.

Qiuyue knew that she didn't like someone to wait on her for a bath, so she took away her clothes, put the clean clothes on the rack, and then tiptoed out.

Xie Liuzheng leaned back in the bathtub and fell asleep without realizing it. She even had a dream.

In her dream, she returned to the snowy day in her previous life. She dragged her sick body, holding Xie Xiangyu's already cold corpse, and beat the Dengwen drum with her arms.

"Boom..."

"Dong dong..."

The drum beats were so loud that even the soul was shattered, but they did not bring any mercy from God.

Xie Liuzheng woke up from his dream and found that the water had become a little cold. He sank into the water to wash away the tears on his face. When he stood up, his face was covered with cold air.

She would not allow herself to fall into the same miserable situation as in her previous life. She would not compromise with anyone who wanted to harm her.

What's so great about the Feng family?

The Feng family had strict family education. Although they had a concubine, no one relied on the concubine to show off in public.

He lives a very frugal life in his daily life. He wears plain clothes and eats vegetarian food.

Xie Liuzheng did some calculations for the Feng family. From the old lady to the little girl who was born last year, there were nearly thirty people from four generations living together, plus a dozen servants. At most, the family would spend less than fifty taels of silver a month.

Of course, this refers to daily expenses, and does not include necessary social activities. However, the Feng family rarely interacts with others, so this expense is not that large.

The only extravagant thing the Feng family did was buying books.

The two masters and several young masters all love books very much. They not only love to read but also love to collect.

If I hear that there are ancient books or fragments somewhere, I will do everything I can to see them.

Xie Liuzheng's plan was based on this.

Someone spread the word that a travelogue of an ancient person was found in an ancient temple in Zhouzhuang. This ancient person was a famous young man from a scholarly family. After failing in the imperial examinations many times, he became disheartened and devoted himself to mountains and rivers.

He said he wanted to travel around the world, but ended up dying on the road.

Xie Liuzheng had specially looked up the life of this predecessor and knew the places and times he had passed through very clearly. When he compiled his travel notes and put them in Zhouzhuang, it seemed very credible.

When Feng Yushu, the eldest son of the second branch of the Feng family, heard the news, he couldn't hide his excitement and ran to see the second master Feng. "Father, have you heard that the original work of Xiake Xingsheng is now in Zhouzhuang?"

Mr. Feng Er was also a book lover, and he was very active when he heard the news.

"If it's true, we can go and see it. But Mr. Xiake's whereabouts are elusive, and I've found several travel notes before, but they didn't mention that he had been to Yangzhou."

"My son also thought it was unlikely at first. It was probably that the monk in the temple pretended to be Mr. Xiake and led people to offer incense to the temple." Feng Yushu used his fingers to draw on the table with the remaining tea in the cup. "But my son calculated Mr. Xiake's route and thought it was very likely that he had been to Yangzhou."
