Chapter 94 Cause of Death
The third day of marriage was the day when Lin Yiyao returned home.

The eldest lady sent someone to watch the kitchen early in the morning and began to prepare meals.

The old lady also specially greeted the masters of the courtyards, and went to Shou'an Hall for lunch at noon.

Gu Yunxi got up early to do her makeup, and sat in front of the mirror with a bit of sleepiness on her face.

Bai Qing walked into the house, took out a thick stack of papers and said:
"Miss, this is Liu's mother's confession."

Gu Yunxi raised her hand and flipped through the records that Bai Qing presented.

There are more than 20 pages in total, and it describes in great detail what the eldest lady did after marrying into the Shangshu Mansion.

And thoughtfully marked the time on the side.

Gu Yunxi simply looked through it, and found that the eldest lady had a lot of sins in her hands.

Some of them are written in great detail.

Including the period when the second aunt was pregnant with Linxi, the eldest lady made many attempts to cause the second aunt to have a miscarriage.

But the second aunt hid them all.

Second Aunt has been living carefully in the mansion, and has never interacted with other people in the mansion.

The eldest lady has not found a chance, so she slowly rested her mind.

Until one day, a person who claimed to be the second aunt's cousin came to visit her, and the lady seized the opportunity.

The eldest lady bribed the second-class maid next to the second aunt, and lit the incense in the house.

After the two fainted, put them on the same bed.

Then deliberately lead Lin Pingkang to meet him.

After the incident happened, even though the second aunt's whole body was full of mouths, she couldn't explain it clearly.

In the end, he was secretly executed by Lin Pingkang, leaving Lin Xi who was only seven years old.

What surprised Gu Yunxi the most was that it turned out that Lin Xi fell into the water and died in Anguo Temple, which was also the work of the eldest lady.

Back then, the second aunt was extremely favored in the mansion, which made the eldest lady lose face for a long time.

The eldest lady has always held a grudge, so naturally she will not let the daughter she left behind feel better.

It's just that Lin Xi was taken to Anguo Temple by the old lady, and the lady gradually forgot about this person.

It wasn't until the old lady was about to return to the mansion after the end of the Buddha ceremony that the lady sent someone to kill Lin Xi.

Gu Yunxi put down the testimony in her hand and asked:
"How is Mama Liu now?"

"I still have a breath." Bai Qing replied.

"Then save her life first, and let people watch it, it will be useful in the future." Gu Yunxi said.

"Yes." Bai Qing asked, "How does the young lady plan to deal with the eldest lady? Do you want a slave?"

"Don't touch her for now." Gu Yunxi interrupted, "I will accept her life, but not now."

She promised Lin Xi that as long as the old lady was still alive, she would not touch the people in the Shang Shufu.

"Master Yu has left the capital?" Gu Yunxi asked again.

"Leaving." Bai Qing replied, "I was sent out of the city safely last night."

"Miss let Young Master Yu go so early, do you expect Madam Liu to recruit?"

Longan was holding Gu Yunxi's hair while asking puzzledly.

Gu Yunxi replied: "Whether Mama Liu recruits or not, I will not make things difficult for Mr. Yu."

"Why is that?" Longan asked.

"Master Yu is a great benevolent person in the Jiangling area. During the famine, he spent all his wealth and saved many people."

"In addition, Mr. Yu has read poetry and books and has a noble character. If he hadn't been burdened by the family, how could he be trapped in that side of the courtyard by Mama Liu."

"He is a miserable person, so why should I make things difficult for him." Gu Yunxi explained.

"Miss is really kind."

Longan looked at Gu Yunxi in the mirror, tilted her head and praised.

Gu Yunxi laughed lightly when she heard the words: "I'm not a kind person."

She acted like this because she just felt that kind and innocent people should be treated kindly.

After Gu Yunxi finished her breakfast, she came to the old lady's yard.

The second lady and several aunts were talking with the old lady.

The second wife may not be as enthusiastic about her as before because of the second master.

He only glanced at her indifferently, then silently lowered his eyes and continued to drink tea.

Seeing Gu Yunxi, Si Yiniang only smiled faintly, no different from usual.

Lin Ansheng, who was beside her, seemed very happy to see her coming.

After Gu Yunxi saluted the old lady, she sat down on the empty seat beside her.

Seeing this, Lin Ansheng quietly came to sit beside Gu Yunxi and said:
"Second sister, Yao Yurou is dead!"

Lin Ansheng said, the expression on his face was still very frightened.

"I know." Gu Yunxi replied lightly.

"Aren't you shocked?"

Lin Ansheng was very dissatisfied with Gu Yunxi's reaction, and asked in surprise.

"I've already been shocked." Gu Yunxi said.

Lin Ansheng seemed to be comforted by hearing the words, nodded and said:

"It seems that my news was too late."

After finishing speaking, he curled his lips, looking unhappy.

Gu Yunxi picked up the hot tea at hand and drank it, the two of them did not continue chatting.

While drinking tea, Gu Yunxi listened to the chat between the old lady and the second lady.

"How do you feel the past few days? Did you bother you?" The old lady looked at the second lady's stomach and asked.

"No fuss, no fuss at all, except for the nausea when I first woke up, I can eat and sleep at other times."

The second lady stroked her stomach and replied.

"Looks like a good boy." The old lady smiled.

"Be good, don't worry."

The second lady looked at her stomach and said kindly.

"You are pregnant now, why is the second child not taking care of you by your side?"

The old lady thought that the second master hadn't come to pay his respects for a long time, and there was a hint of reproach in her tone.

The second lady heard the dissatisfaction in the old lady's words, and explained:
"There are so many maids and women around me, so I don't need him to take care of them. He is clumsy and will only add to the chaos."

"He doesn't have any official position now, so he doesn't stay with you well at home, what's the point of running around all the time?" the old lady said.

"Mother also knows that the master is in a bad mood recently, and it's better to go out of the house to relax than to be bored in the house." The second lady said helplessly.

The old lady didn't say much when she heard the words, she sighed lightly, and said:

"You should also send someone to watch him more. Jingzhou is no better than Jinzhou, so you need to be more cautious."

"Mother, don't worry, the master just listens to the music and won't cause trouble." The second lady replied.

Everyone was chatting with the old lady, Haitang who was beside the old lady came to report:

"Missy and uncle will be at the gate of the house soon."

Lin Yiyao is a low-marriage, so the old lady and the second lady naturally don't need to go to the gate of the house to greet her.

But in order to give face to the Qi family, juniors like Gu Yunxi, Lin Ansheng, and Lin Yanwan can go to the lively scene.

When Gu Yunxi and others came to the door of Shangshu's Mansion, the carriage of Qi's Mansion could not even be seen.

Lin Ansheng was shivering from the cold, and his tone was a little impatient.

"Didn't you say it's coming soon? Why hasn't it arrived yet?"

"It should be soon, just wait."

As Gu Yunxi said, she put her hand stove into Lin Ansheng's hand.

Lin Ansheng was also not polite, holding the hand stove tightly in his arms.

Taking in the warmth of the hand stove, the trembling body also slowly stopped.

Lin Yanwan rubbed his frozen fingers, looked at the two silently, and did not speak.

It took about a stick of incense before two carriages traveling back and forth appeared in the sight of several people.
