Chapter 7 The Shocking Cause of Death

The slight morning light penetrated through the window screens, and the night receded like a tide from all directions, and the whole room was already dyed with a bit of clear coolness.

The morning wind blew, and the bells hanging on the corner of the eaves rang.

Meng Heyin stretched, kicked the quilt, and turned over.

"Sha--sha--" The sweeping sound of maids sweeping the floor was heard again outside the door, accompanied by the sound of water splashing in the courtyard, "Wow--wow--"

Meng Heyin frowned.

Immediately afterwards, two footsteps were heard one after another. Meng Heyin's closed eyes moved, and he found the quilt to cover his head.

However, this way of self-evasion did not work, and a crisp female voice sounded.

"Miss, are you up yet?"

Meng Heyin pretended not to hear.

"Miss, Mother Jiang will be back in a while, get up quickly."

Bai Miao and Lu Wei's voices were still muttering outside, Meng Heyin threw off the quilt on his body, his face full of resentment.

It's fine if she couldn't sleep in in her previous life, why can't she sleep in here? !
Outside the door, Lu Wei and Bai Miao looked at each other, and when they were about to leave helplessly, the door creaked open, Meng Heyin's hair was in a mess, and he stood in the middle with disheveled clothes, rubbing his eyes.

Lu Wei's face collapsed, "Miss, what did you do at night..."

Meng Heyin glanced at her, "Sleep." Then he turned his neck and walked back, and noticed Bai Miao next to him, squinted his eyes and recalled it, then bravely rolled his eyes at the sky.

Early in the morning, trouble!
Ignoring Luwei's frightened expression, Meng Heyin moved his neck from side to side and walked towards the back room.

"come in."

After a cup of tea, Bai Miao looked at Meng Heyin who was sitting in front of the mirror combing his hair with a little anxiety.

"You..." Meng Heyin paused, and thought about his words, "Surely you already know about my amnesia?"

Lu Wei, who combed her hair, shook her hands, looked at Meng Heyin in the mirror, and felt relieved when she saw that she didn't look angry.

"Yes."

"Then tell me what happened to the scene of the fire."

Bai Miao was prepared long ago, and brought out the rhetoric that he had already thought up last night.

"Miss had an appointment with Miss Su that day, and went to Tianfang Building to choose jewelry..."

Time back to five days ago.

Spring is the season when all things are revived and flowers are blooming. However, Qiongzhou is located in the northwest border, and there are very few vegetation in the public areas of the city. Most of the flowers and trees are in the residences of officials, merchants and other important people.

The young people had nowhere to go, so they wandered around a few large commercial buildings in the city to spend the leisurely spring.

At noon, a carriage with the logo of the Meng family parked steadily in front of Tianfang Building.

Two servant girls came out of the carriage, one was dressed in white and the other was smart and cute, they were Bai Miao and Lu Wei.

Lu Wei covered her eyes with her hands and looked at the sun in the sky, said: "Miss, Miss Su only came in the afternoon, we came too early!" She continued to mutter, "We haven't even eaten yet."

Bai Miao reached out to help the woman who came out from inside.

The woman was wearing a fresh pink skirt, made of streamer brocade densely woven with gold threads that was newly handed over from the capital.Liuguang brocade, as the name suggests, means that the gold thread in the fabric will reflect sparkling waves like the surface of a lake under the sun.Therefore, when the girl came out, the pink skirt set off her whole body, making her shine brightly.

And the woman herself has a delicate and beautiful face, combing a fairy bun, and wearing a step shake inlaid with pink gemstones, which shakes slightly in the wind, like a concubine or fairy.

This is the real Meng harmony.

While supporting Meng Heyin, Bai Miao yelled at Luwei, "What are you complaining about? I'm afraid that you will miss a meal with Miss?"

Meng Heyin smiled and glanced at Lu Wei who was thinking about it, and said softly, "I will allow you to choose two dishes from Hui Zhen Lou in a while."

Lu Wei smiled instantly, "Thank you miss!"

Bai Miao snorted.

Meng Heyin also looked at Bai Miao tenderly, "You have it too."

So Lu Wei and Bai Miao thanked Meng Heyin with a smile, and helped her walk towards Huizhen Building next to Tianfang Pavilion.

When Bai Miao said this, she raised her head to look at Meng Heyin, only to see Meng Heyin turned around at some point and looked down at her, with undisguised scrutiny in her eyes.

"Go on?"

"After we finished our lunch, Miss remembered that Miss Su loved to eat milk cakes from the Crystal Shop, so she asked Lu Wei to go to the Crystal Shop to buy some. However, not long after Lu Wei left, the red leaf next to Xue Ningshi came .”

Luwei was taken aback: "Hongye?! How did you meet them?"

In the private room on the second floor of Tianfang Pavilion, a beautiful maid stood in front of Meng Heyin and saluted.

"Miss Meng, my young master knows that you happen to be here, and I feel very lucky. I invite you to talk about it."

Meng Heyin was very nervous, and kept picking his nails with his hands on his knees.

"This……"

"If Ms. Meng is inconvenient, my young master can also come in person."

"No!" Meng Heyin subconsciously refused, and looked at Bai Miao as if asking for help.

Seeing this, Hong Ye immediately pulled Bai Miao away, and Bai Miao couldn't resist. Meng Heyin saw Bai Miao being dragged out, and the door was closed, leaving him alone.

"I don't know what happened after that." Bai Miao knelt on the ground, lowered her head and said.

Meng Heyin tried hard to recall what happened at that time.

After waking up, she immediately wanted to escape through the door, but the latch was locked inside.If it is really a terrible person who will come to him, it is indeed possible to lock the door himself.

Lu Wei was puzzled, "Then who locked the door outside?"

Bai Miao raised her head when she heard the words, and looked at Meng Heyin resolutely, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"That servant girl of Mr. Xue." Meng Heyin said coldly, "She was afraid that I would run away, so she locked the door. Unexpectedly, Tianfang Pavilion suddenly caught fire, and I was almost burned to death inside!"

The more Meng Heyin spoke, the angrier he became, and he clenched his hands tightly.Although it vaguely felt that something was wrong, this matter was so absurd that it made her angry.

She never expected that the original body's cause of death would be so hasty, just because a boring dandy took a fancy to Meng Heyin's beauty, Meng Heyin would be burned alive in the room!
"Get up first." Meng Heyin finished speaking to Bai Miao, and then asked, "Who is that Mr. Xue?"

After Bai Miao got up, she poured out a cup of tea for Meng Heyin with some anxiety.

"When Xue Ning was born, he was the only son of the magistrate. He was used to running amok in Qiongzhou County. He often bullied and teased others for fun. He was in a private school for more than ten years. He didn't finish reading the classics, but he read a lot of miscellaneous books."

Bai Miao added worriedly, "Speaking of which, he and Miss are still in a private school."

"It's more than that! The poisonous woman has already made a marriage contract between the young lady and him!"

Lu Wei said what she heard some time ago, and didn't notice the shocked expressions of Meng Heyin and Bai Miao at all.
