In August of the second year of Qiyuan, Wu Junru started in the middle of the night. After giving birth for a day and a night, she finally gave birth to a baby boy.

The whole family celebrates, Xiao Ying finally has a second son, a real "son".

This was the darkest time of his life. His mother, who had depended on each other since childhood, died, while his biological father was outside to celebrate the birth of his second son.

He was alone, groping forward in the dark, not knowing where he was going.

Qiu Ju came in from outside and gently closed the door for him.

"Lang Jun, you've been working hard for a day, rest." Qiu Ju put the new clothes in Xiao Jingduo's hand, "Xiao Lang Jun was born, Mrs. Hou ordered the whole house to make new clothes. , this is the filial robe that I just sent. Langjun, try it."

Xiao Jingduo glanced lightly, turned his head and continued to copy the book.

Qiu Ju sighed, and then persuaded: "Lang Jun, Madam is gone, I know you feel bad. But you have done your best, Madam, she doesn't want to stay here and suffer, so it's okay to leave. It's a relief, if she's here, she won't want to see you like this."

Xiao Jingduo finally stopped writing, raised his head, and sighed: "I know. I just don't know, other than that, what else can I do."

"Darangjun, Mrs. Caihou just now passed the word that Xiaolangjun was just born, when he was weak and could not bear a little collision, she asked you to go to the Buddhist hall to copy the book for the madam, saying that you were afraid Get some outside..."

"It's the same everywhere."

Seeing Xiao Jingduo's cold and almost expressionless face, Qiu Ju couldn't tell the discomfort in her heart. She wanted to make Xiao Jingduo happy, so she shook off her new clothes and showed it to Xiao Jingduo: "Lang Jun, look, does this new filial piety suit your size? You will wear a brand-new filial piety to your wife tomorrow, and your wife will be happy when she sees it!"

"Okay, let it go."

Qiu Ju suddenly became discouraged: "Lang Jun, don't be like this, you can smile. It's obviously not like this when you first came."

"Oh?" Xiao Jingduo finally became interested and turned to look at Qiu Ju, "How do you say that?"

"I remember when you first came to Hou Mansion, you were in high spirits, with high spirits and bright eyes like a group of fire. But now, you don't talk or laugh, like wrapping your whole body in a layer Inside the thick shell, the outside is full of sharp thorns."

"Really, I didn't notice it." Xiao Jingduo smiled very lightly, "But people always change. When I first came, I was ignorant and fearless. can be the same."

Xiao Jingduo didn't want to say more, he reached out to the clothes and seemed to want to change them. When he met Xiaoyi, he frowned very quickly.

"What's the matter, Langjun?"

"It's all right." Xiao Jingduo looked at the suit, and a strange feeling floated in his heart, "I always feel that the cloth is weird and seems a little sticky."

"Really?" Qiu Ju also picked it up and looked at it carefully, "Lang Jun, you seem to be saying that. Forget it, I will wash it again today, and Lang Jun will just change it tomorrow."

Xiao Jingduo was grateful to Qiu Ju in his heart, but he was not a talkative person, so he didn't say much, just kept this affection in his heart. The next day he wore the starched and dried filial clothes, and went to the Buddhist temple in the southeast corner to copy the scriptures.

The Buddha statue was placed high on the offering table, surrounded by green smoke, which made the Buddha look more and more blurred, looking down at the world like sadness or joy.

Xiao Jingduo bowed to the Buddha statue, then walked to the east side of the Buddhist hall, knelt on the mat and copied Buddhist scriptures for her mother, wishing her a happy life in the next life.

There was a fragrance in the smoker. He put down his pen, got up and walked towards the incense burner on the offering table.

The incense burner was made in the shape of a golden beast.

Such a scene is really very rich and leisurely, but Xiao Jingduo sneered on his lips.

He said why Wu Junru suddenly asked him to come to the Buddhist hall to copy books, it turned out that he moved his hands and feet in the incense burner. It was a pity that she forgot that Xiao Jingduo had recited herbal medicines since he was a child, and knew all about ordinary herbs. This golden censer was clearly filled with hallucinogenic herbs. The Buddhist hall is not ventilated everywhere, and after being smoked by this fragrance for a long time, he will faint in less than an hour. In the Buddhist hall, incense is burned in four seasons, and there is Buddha incense to cover it. Ordinary people can't tell that other things are mixed in the incense burner. After the work is completed, as long as the incense ash in the incense burner is poured, the fragrance of the incense sticks dedicated to the Buddha will naturally cover up all traces, which can be said to be seamless.

Xiao Jingduo laughed disdainfully, he put his hand on the cover of the incense burner, and wanted to lift the incense burner to see what tricks Wu Junru was playing.

"Madam, Mr. Dalang seems to know some pharmacology. We can add medicine to the incense burner, is it really okay?"

"I'm afraid he won't be able to smell it." Wu Junru leaned on the soft couch, smiling and teasing her son who was just full moon, but the words in her mouth made people chill, "I never do anything. That's it, a shot must be hit, and if he doesn't kill him, he'll be maimed. I know that he has some medical skills, so I made two layers of protection. Stun him, if he is lucky enough to hear something wrong, I also have a backhand waiting for him."

"Ah, what's behind?" Wei Wei helped Wu Junru sit up and asked curiously.

"This is my ultimate move. No matter how smart he is, he can't beat me." Wu Junru smiled complacently. Things, relying on this plug-in to cross, Wu Junru really wants to deal with a person, but it is not easy to capture. "As long as he lifts the incense burner, there is no escape. Madam Wei, you said, if it were you, if you noticed the difference in the spices, would you lift the lid to find out?"

& nbsp; It's really stepping into my trap."

Mother Wei was in awe: "Madam is brilliant!"

If I'm wrong, then I'll let you die silently. That's what happens when you offend me."

"Madam said yes." Wei Wei followed Wu Junru closely and served Wu Junru meticulously. Wu Junru turned around and said to Wei Wei: "Nurse, you have watched me grow up since I was a child, and you have helped me a lot over the years. Among the servants, I can only trust you. It's almost time, you go to the Buddhist hall. Take a look for me, remember, be careful not to be discovered by others."

"The old slave knows." Wei Mammy accepted it skillfully, and she has been living in the back house for many years. Wei Mama is more sophisticated than Wu Junru in these private matters.

In the Buddhist hall, Xiao Jingduo had put his hands on the lid, but suddenly stopped.

"No, why is there a burning smell in the fragrance? Didn't add enough spices or was it too hot?" Xiao Jingduo muttered to himself. feel strange.

Accordingly, the smell of fire will only appear when the incense burner is too small and the spices are not enough to burn. But the belly of this golden censer is so big, and the incense ash is enough, how could it have the smell of burning?

There is only one explanation, only a small amount of incense ash is added to the incense burner. This is intriguing, what is the reason for such a large incense burner, but not filling it up?

Xiao Jingduo turned his head and stared at the copper furnace in front of him with interest. He stretched out his hand and pushed it, and sure enough, it felt empty inside.

"It turned out to be tempting me to lift the lid." Xiao Jingduo looked at the incense burner in front of him that almost killed him, and smiled lightly, "I also want to know what is inside."

Mother Wei carefully avoided the crowd all the way and walked towards the Buddhist hall.

Dingyong Hou's mansion specially set up a courtyard to worship Buddha.

Mother Wei stood in front of the maid and coughed heavily.

The maid woke up suddenly, saw Wei Wei, she stood up quickly, and repeatedly accused: "Mother forgives the sin, the slave was negligent for a while, and actually fell asleep, please forgive me..."

Mother Wei is Wu Junru's right-hand man, and she has the status of a nanny. She has a very high status in the mansion, and people will laugh with her when they meet her. Now the little maid was dozing off and was caught by Wei Wei, the maid was frightened and her calf was shaking.

Mother Wei frowned, pulled her face and reprimanded the little maid: "Why are you on duty, you can fall asleep in the middle of the day?"

"It's a slave, isn't it, please forgive me."

"Okay, let's not do this next time." Wei Wei waved her hand generously, "Madam has something to call you, why don't you hurry up?"

She just took two steps, and then hesitantly pointed at the Buddhist hall: "Mommy, what about the Buddhist hall?"

"I'll help you watch, you go and do yours first."

"Thank you mama!" The little girl went happily.

Mother Wei raised her neck, watched the maid walk away, and laughed coldly. She thought to herself that at this time, things should be done in the Buddhist hall.

Mother Wei turned around in place for two more times when she suddenly heard a loud noise from the courtyard, as if something had fallen. Wei Wei was stunned, and immediately pushed the door and went in.

There is no sound in the courtyard except for the loud noise just now, only the sandalwood incense wafts out of the Buddhist hall. Wei Wei quietly raised the window a crack, and looked inside with a pair of triangular eyes. She hadn't seen Xiao Jingduo for a long time. She laughed, and then opened the door and window. She waited outside for a while, and waited inside. After confirming that there was no abnormality, he let go of his steps and walked towards the house.

The Buddhist hall is very deep, and the outside light does not come in, making it more and more shadowy and unfathomable. Wei Wei almost saw the figure next to the Buddha statue at first glance. Although it was not clear through the curtain, Xiao Jingduo's white filial robe was striking enough. At this moment, the white shadow fell to the ground, unable to move. verb: move. There was an incense burner lying beside him, and the ashes were scattered all over the floor. Even the lid of the stove fell to the side. Obviously, the loud noise just now came from here.

Mother Wei walked quickly towards the Buddha statue, she lifted the curtain, and then screamed unprepared.

On the ground there was only the brand-new set of filial piety clothes, which was stuffed with debris, how could there be anyone?

Mother Wei was stunned by this change, she squatted down to look through the clothes, wondering where Xiao Jingduo had gone. She had just flipped twice when she heard a metal crash, followed by an inaudible hum.

Mother Wei turned her head in disbelief, and saw Xiao Jingduo standing behind her in only her middle clothes, holding a string in her hand.

"What are you..." Wei Wei was horrified, but before she could finish, she felt the back of her hand lightly stung, Wei Wei lowered her head and saw a few bees circling there A filial robe was flying, and Wei Wei was stung by one of the bees because she was so close.

"So..."

Mammy Wei heard Xiao Jingduo muttering, she wanted to stand up and scold him for being bold, but just as soon as Mama Wei moved halfway, she felt dizzy, and she swayed, The sturdy body tilted to the side uncontrollably and fell to the ground.

Mother Wei lay on her back and pointed at Xiao Jingduo tremblingly: "You, you..."

Xiao Jingduo raised his eyebrows as if unexpectedly: "It happened so fast, Wu Junru really took great pains to kill me."

"What did you do, how could this be..."

"These are not important." Xiao Jingduo stood far away and smiled at Wei Wei, "You just need to understand that you are going to die soon."

Mother Wei's breath became hurried, she stared at Xiao Jingduo sullenly, and spit out a vicious threat: "There are only the two of us here, if you kill me, you can't escape the relationship. Save me. , If not, if I die, you will not end well."

"Save you?"
