Cui Ying wiped away her tears, "It's not worth shedding tears for this kind of person. Stop crying..."
Nanxiu hugged him, "I only have my brother. From now on, I will not trust anyone but my brother."
Cui Ying said yes, "Don't trust anyone. Just trust me from now on."
Ruan Xiu Niang immediately sent a message to Bo Lu, saying that Nan Xiu and Cui Ying had returned to Nian Yu Pu and lived as before.
The Duke broke the cup with his hand and cut his palm. He was so angry that he asked his wife to be called.
"How on earth do you do this!"
"Sir, I have indeed killed Nan Xiu and buried her in the back garden of the mansion. When the messenger came, she had no breath. Ruan Xiu Niang did it herself and beat her to death."
"Oh, but this letter was written by Ruan Xiu Niang. She said that she saw Nan Xiu and Cui Ying again in Li'er."
"Absolutely impossible!" Madam vowed.
The Duke called Yu Li, "You go to Li'er and see if that girl Nanxiu is still alive. If she is alive, kill her. Don't expose your identity. If it is Ruan Xiu Niang who is talking nonsense, kill her." Please send Ruan Xiu Niang to Cui Ying and tell him that he will never be able to escape from me forever."
"promise."
Not long after, Yu Li hurriedly arrived at XZ. Looking along Ruan Xiu Niang's hand, he saw that the Nianyu shop was empty, and there was no one at the counter.
"Today Cui Ying is going to the market to collect jade materials, so she is not here. She is the only one. Sir Yu, please take a look."
Yu Li sneered, "Miss Ruan, do you know that the Duke hates people who deceive him the most? Now you have committed a big taboo."
Ruan Xiu Niang looked at Nan Xiu holding her head and smiling at her. She suddenly felt something bad. The person behind her had slashed her with a knife, killing her directly and dragging her body away from here.
In the market, someone bumped into Cui Ying head-on, knocking the jade material in his hand to pieces. Cui Ying was stunned to see that the man in front of him was actually a warlock.
The warlock apologized profusely, "Young Master, I can't help myself now. How much is the jade material? I'll pay for it."
Cui Ying saw the candied haws on the market, waved her hand and said, "No, I will bring a bunch of candied haws home for my family, and I won't do any work today."
The warlock stopped him and said, "Sir, I was so uneasy that I broke your jade. How about I tell you your fortune?"
Cui Ying said no, "I don't believe in gods and ghosts."
The warlock said, "It can be considered a marriage."
"Marriage?" Cui Ying smiled, "I already have the best marriage, so there is no need to ask for it."
The warlock said, "Whether it is marriage or evil fate, don't you want to know, Master?"
Cui Ying thought he was talking nonsense, like a charlatan, and was about to walk away, but was entangled by the warlock, "Do you know, sir, that after today, you will be dead?"
Cui Ying laughed and said, "That's nonsense!"
"Is the house a wife or a ghost? Why don't you listen to me carefully?"
Cui Ying suddenly stopped and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Tell me the truth, sir, you have a ghostly aura about you. It's not from a living person. The person in your family has been dead for many days."
"Nonsense..."
"Am I talking nonsense? You are smart, you can figure it out if you think about it carefully."
The handwriting of Nanxiu's letter was like hers, but the writing style and tone were too blunt. He went to thank the royal envoy for his help, but the man evaded his words and did not dare to look directly at him. This was weird, but he saw Nanxiu's letter. Show, so I didn’t go into details.
Cui Ying raised her head to look at the sun. These days, Nanxiu would hold an umbrella whenever she went out. She was different from before. She would not sit in the sun in the courtyard while choosing food. She said she was afraid of the heat and tanning.
The warlock said proudly, "How is it? Do you think I am telling the truth or a lie now?"
"It doesn't matter the truth, nor does it matter lies." Cui Ying said disdainfully.
"You... are confused. She refuses to be reincarnated. The end of spring is here, and the ninety days of spring are gone. She wants to take away your yang energy, otherwise she will die."
"What did you say!" Cui Ying heard his last words, "After ninety days of spring, her soul will be gone?"
"Yes, tomorrow is the end of spring, and she is very likely to take your life, so if you want to save your life, you can go to the drug store to grab some medicine, grind mugwort, pigweed and cinnabar into powder, and give it to her , otherwise you will lead her under the sun tomorrow, both methods will make her soul fly away, and she will never be able to pester you again."
Cui Ying nodded and hurriedly ran towards the drug store.
Not far away, the woman holding an umbrella darkened her eyes, turned around and left in a hurry.
It was almost nighttime and Cui Ying came back with candied haws and a lot of fabrics she liked, "I'm back, madam."
Nanxiu turned to look at him, her face full of tears. Cui Ying quickly put down the things, "Why are you crying?"
"Brother, I'm very scared."
Cui Ying took her into his arms and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, don't be afraid of anything."
"Brother, I have something to say to you."
"I brought you candied haws on a stick, eat it and then talk about it," he said.
Nanxiu nodded, "I will eat whatever brother wants me to eat."
Cui Ying put his forehead against hers, "I brought it specially for you."
"I know." she said.
"Um?"
Nanxiu wiped away her tears, "I said, I know my brother always loves me the most."
She ate the candied haws, and Cui Ying asked her, "Is it delicious?"
"Delicious, sour and sweet."
"Madam, is there anything else you want to do?"
Nan Xiu said, "I just want to be with my brother, and be together forever. I can't worry about him. I'm afraid that he will be sad, afraid that he will cry, and I'm afraid that he will be heartbroken."
She leaned in his arms, and the two quietly relied on each other. Over the years, they had supported each other and relied on each other to get to where they are today. The home he gave her was very stable, and she felt at ease every day by his side. , she doesn’t have to be a slave, she can just be his wife.
"Brother, it's dawn." She was very weak.
Cui Ying put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Yes, the sun is coming out."
"Brother, I haven't told you what I want to say yet."
"Okay, just say it."
"I... I died a long time ago. I died in the hands of Madam. Now I am a ghost and not a human being."
Cui Ying smiled and said, "This is not what I want to hear."
Nanxiu didn't understand, "What does brother want to hear?"
"You haven't told me what I want to hear most."
"I like my brother the most." Her face was frighteningly pale.
Cui Ying nodded, "If you are smart, you can guess what I want to hear right away."
He took out a small pot of powder from his sleeve.
Nam Soo asked knowingly, "What is that?"
Cui Ying raised her head and drank, throwing away the medicine bottle, "Arsenic."
Nanxiu was shocked and pinched his chin to make him spit it out, "Brother, don't swallow the poison, spit it out quickly! Please, don't do this..." She cried at the top of her lungs, begging him to live.
"I said, I will never live alone without you."
Only then did she understand that he was not going to the drug store to buy things that would kill her, but to buy medicine that could kill her. He knew that she would never survive by taking his life, and he would not hurt him, and he knew that. , so he wanted to die with her.
Sunlight filtered through the bamboo fence, and soon the window in the house was filled with morning light. Soon after, the golden light reached their feet.
Cui Ying was already bleeding from the corner of her mouth, and the woman beside her gradually turned into a wisp of smoke.
He looked at her and smiled, and she looked at him with tears in her eyes.
After ninety days of spring, he and she have passed the time together.
