At the end of noon, the sky became darker and darker, as if it was about to skip the middle of the hours and jump directly into the night.

The happy handlebar type, reminded Ningzhu again with a speechless face, strangled the horse with awkward look. The car slowed down, turned slowly, and drove steadily towards the small intersection outside the village.

The Wang family's farm is located between Kyoto and the Cui family's ancestral tomb. The area is average, the harvest is not very good every year, but there is a lot of work to do. I wonder if it is because it is about to rain, and there is no one in the fields in the distance.

Ning Zhu Fanfu told the handlebar to pick him up early tomorrow. When he saw him leaving slowly, he took Meng Hui and Ninglu along the path to a small farmyard.

The middle-aged woman who came out had a messy hair, with a horse face, and her flesh was about to overflow from her face. Her pair of hanging eyes looked very smart. She was wearing a dark blue cloth dress full of oil, with a wide body and a fat body, and her hands and face were covered with oil. She seemed to be working in the kitchen.

"I heard the magpies chirping early this morning. It turned out that the third girl is here! Oh, the two girls, Ninglu and Ningzhu, are getting more and more handsome as they grow older!"

Meng Hui found in his memory that the woman was the wife of Lao Zheng, the head of the village, and she had some contact with Madam Li around Wang. Everyone in the Cui family called her Aunt Zheng.

Cui Yuzhen didn't have much memory of Aunt Zheng, and she didn't have a good impression. Meng Hui simply pursed her lips and said nothing, nodded reservedly, and walked to the empty yard next door under her greeting. As long as the master of Cui's house came, they would live here.

"Miss Three is here to relax? The flowers on the back mountain were blooming well, but now it's raining, so the girl is afraid she can only stay in the yard to play." Aunt Zheng was very enthusiastic on the surface, but her eyes were sweeping around the simple old clothes of the three of them, and she raised her lips and felt a little sarcastic.

Seeing that Meng Hui had no intention of speaking, Ningzhu put down the few small bags she brought and spoke as Meng Hui ordered on the road. "We were going to the ancestral grave to burn incense for the eldest girl. We walked halfway and saw that the weather was not good, so we decided to settle here temporarily. It is inevitable that we will have to bother Aunt Zheng tonight."

"Oh, Miss Ningzhu, don't be so polite." Aunt Zheng stood up with a smile, her eyes rolled, and after waiting for a long time without a reward, her face collapsed. "What, I still have something to do in the kitchen, so I won't sit around with the girls."

"Aunt Zheng!" Ningzhu was still smiling, not caring about the other party's contempt expression at all, and walked up to stop her. "I heard that Biqing and Bilan were on the village. Can they come here? I haven't seen each other for a long time, so I'm so worried."

Aunt Zheng pursed her mouth without a trace, and she was too lazy to maintain her enthusiasm on the surface.

"They...haha, too, you have enjoyed happiness together in the great families, so what are you worried about? I'll call them here now, but Miss Ningzhu, don't delay too long, they still have work to do."

Aunt Zheng strode away, Ningzhu grimaced at her back and turned back to the house. Not long after, there was a knock on the door outside. Ninglu opened the door and saw a look with surprise on her face, and brought the hugely changed Biqing and Bilan to Meng Hui.

When Meng Hui saw this, he almost met the two people in front of him and the two people in his memory.

In the past, even if you were not full or warm in Cui Mansion, you would at least not have to do rough work. If you bask in the sun, you would look white and tender, and look pretty and lovely.

Nowadays, the two girls in their 17 or 18 have all their legs of dry yellow mud. Their black and yellow hands were hidden in their sleeves and they didn't want to show them. Their pretty face became black and rough, and their backs were not straightened before.

"Biqing, Bilan, you...you sit down!" Ningzhu originally wanted to say that you were suffering, but then she thought, what's the point of saying this? It's better not to mention it.

Ninglu pursed her lips, looked at the two of them in a melancholy, and went to another room to boil water and make tea.

Biqing is a little older, with a round face, and her almond eyes are wet, and she looks like she wants to cry. Biqing is originally a melon-shaped face, but now she is thin and has difficulty working, so she has a lot of wrinkles at a young age.

The two of them greeted Meng Hui and finally recovered in front of the familiar people and were no longer so reserved.

"I heard from Aunt Zheng that the third girl went to burn incense to the eldest girl? Has the third girl been well maintained? It should be done slowly." Biqing wiped the corners of her eyes with her cuffs, and squeezed out a smile, which made people feel sad.

Meng Hui nodded, not deliberately pretending to be timid, but just let the voice lighter. "I'm already done, it's okay. I just didn't expect the weather to be bad, so I can't go this time. But I feel a little better if I can see you two."

Biqing, Bilan thought of Cui Yuying again, shed tears silently for a while, and then she heard Meng Hui speak again.

"Biqing, I have something to ask you, it is about the elder sister and elder brother. Are you willing to tell me privately, or just say it here?"

The blue eyes were confused, and the face of Biqing, who was asked, changed. "Three...Three Girls...I don't know...I don't know what you are talking about."

Meng Hui raised her eyes and stared at her tightly. She saw that Biqing's face was complicated and she bit her lip and seemed to want to admit it no matter what. But her behavior showed that she did know something.

"You and your elder sister have been with you since childhood. Don't you want to find the real murderer and give her peace of mind?"

When Biqing heard this, tears fell down and sobbed, "It's not that I don't want it, it's impossible! If I say it, our girl's reputation will be completely ruined!" The sobbing cry echoed in the hut, which made the place even more silent.

Ninglu, Ningzhu stood aside at a loss, Bilan looked surprised and stared at Biqing with wide eyes and couldn't speak. Meng Hui tightened his hands, and a terrible, disgusting thought flashed in his mind. "You mean... Cui Da... He..."

Biqing's crying was very shrill, with reluctance. When Meng Hui mentioned Cui Da, a strong hatred burst out in her eyes. She gradually stopped crying, looked at Meng Hui in a blink of an eye, and finally nodded weakly.

"That beast is worse than that! He started pestering the girl half a year ago, saying something unreasonable, and even touching her! The girl was so scared that she didn't dare to leave the hospital easily. She had to be with you, Miss Three, to dare to breathe in by the fish pond."

Half a year ago... Meng Hui thought that it was when Cui Yuying's emotions began to change. It turned out that her thoughts were so heavy and so difficult to talk about. No wonder Cui Yuzhen didn't know the reason.

No matter in which era, once you are plagued by such things, no matter how innocent or afraid the woman is, people in the world will always say "flies do not bite seamless eggs" with disdain. This is the case in modern society, not to mention the dynasty in which Cui Yuying lives.

Meng Hui looked at Biqing who was sobbing again and finally knew why she wanted to take away the Ruyi knot.
