boudoir

Chapter 48 Another dead one

Nanny Li was so frightened that she pissed, and immediately rolled over to the ground and kowtowed: "Madam, please forgive me, this old slave really doesn't know! Last night, this old slave went to bed after eating, and soon fell asleep. When it was dark, I heard Tian'er and Cuiying arguing over the matter of feeding medicine, so the old slave called Tian'er over to ask questions. The old slave admitted that the old slave did say that he would punish her severely, but At that time, Tian'er said, if you want to die, you should kill it as soon as possible. At that time, the old slave only took it as an angry remark, to teach Cuiying a lesson, but who knew that she really...really..."

"Mouth full of nonsense! Give me a slap!"

Yu Shi slammed the table and angrily reprimanded.

Mrs. Qian hurriedly called her mother-in-law to come forward, grabbed Nanny Li and slapped her ears.

Qi said: "Is it nonsense, we will know later, why is sister-in-law rushing to keep her mouth shut?"

Yu sneered: "According to you, this matter is still related to me?"

Qi said: "Tian'er came out of your room, it has nothing to do with it, everyone has a different opinion!"

"Joke!" Yu's eyes were cut like a knife: "Then why do I want to kill her?"

Mrs. Qi lowered her face, but couldn't speak anymore.

Nie looked at it with a gloating sneer. Liang had realized something, and his eyes kept flickering between Qi and Yu.

Caiqin who was waiting at the door suddenly broke in: "Madam, Tian'er is dead!"

"what?"

Everyone in the room thought they heard it wrong, and they were all startled.

"Just now I went to several groups of people looking for Tian'er, but there was no one there. Later, it was the woman sweeping snow in the garden who found the body in the lake."

Caiqin shivered as she spoke.

Tian'er's body was quickly brought in and placed in Cuiying's place.The whole body of the corpse was bruised and purple, it should have been terribly frozen before death.

Ruier turned her head away.

Liuli couldn't bear to look at it either.

It was such a coincidence that she died just as Nanny Li testified that she had murderous intentions. Is this a suicide in fear of crime?
The room was silent, Tian'er's mother-in-law, Cheng Ma, came in crying all the way: "The lady is the master of this old slave! My son was wronged! She didn't kill anyone! She didn't kill anyone! Madam must pay Tian'er back!" One is innocent!"

Seeing this Cheng Mama, Liuli felt disgusted, but at this moment she couldn't help feeling a little pity. If she really wanted to make atonement, it should be Yu Shi, not Tian'er.

Mrs. Yu glanced at Mrs. Qi viciously: "Third Madam's hands and feet are really fast enough! If this is the case, there will be no proof, right?"

Qi's face was also full of bad luck, and upon hearing this, he said coldly: "If this person died, or was it me who did it, just to put your hat on? Who on earth Cuiying ordered Tian'er to do it, you and I I know it well, and I know whether to kill someone or not!"

Yu's face was livid with anger.

Cheng Ma raised her hand to wipe her nose, and suddenly pointed at Rui'er: "Third Madam, don't talk nonsense, people who are not in the house will be suspected? Madam just ask why she was not in the house last night?"

Qi suddenly turned around and slapped her twice: "Who are you talking about?"

Cheng's mother was stunned by the beating, and immediately covered her face and dared not make a sound.

Mrs. Liang excitedly rushed up to try to persuade her: "Why are you so angry with this servant? Be careful and your hands hurt! It's more important to find out the matter. But having said that, it's just two maids who died. The eldest lady doesn't have to kill Cuiying, the third lady It's not like killing Tian'er and planting it. Maybe Tian'er and Cuiying were suffocated in the quarrel, and she got angry for a while, and she was afraid when she saw someone dead in the morning, so she jumped into the lake when she couldn't think about it. What do you think, Miss Jiu? ?”

This Liang family was originally afraid of chaos in the world, this situation was bad enough, she did not forget to pull down Liuli.Liuli gritted her teeth, and was about to come out to answer, when suddenly a person appeared beside her and clamped her tightly by the waist, screaming strangely: "Of course she would say that! You only know how to doubt Tian'er, why don't you doubt her?" ? She and Ruier's little hoof were not in the house at all last night, they were the ones who killed Cuiying's little hoof!"

Liuli never expected this crazy woman to be so frenzied, while busy trying to break her hand, she couldn't help being startled, wondering how she would know that she was not in the house last night?

The four wives of the He Mansion watched her being pinched to death, and no one called for anyone to come forward to rescue her.Mrs. Yu was holding back her anger and wanted to find someone to vent her anger on, Mrs. Nie didn't have the mindset to help others out, Mrs. Liang wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and Mrs. Qi hated Cheng Ma, and she didn't even want to look at her At a glance, only Rui'er hurriedly got up from the ground, rushed to Cheng Ma's side and bit the back of her hand hard.

Cheng's mother screamed like killing a pig and rolled away, Rui'er looked at Liuli, and saw that her hair was also loose, her clothes were crooked, and there were several stains on the white fox fur cloak, she was almost ravaged Literally.

Rui'er looked at her with tears in her eyes, Liuli grabbed her hand tightly and shook her head slightly.This old woman will teach her a lesson sooner or later, don't worry!
Mrs. Yu had already lost her patience by Mrs. Qi's anger, and shouted at Liuli: "Mother Cheng said that you were not in the room last night, so there is such a thing!"

Liuli grabbed the hem of her skirt, unable to figure out how to answer for a while.Yu Shi may be able to tolerate accepting a concubine who has no offensive power, but she will never let a concubine dare to collude with her rival in private.If Cheng Ma even knew about their going to see Aunt Su in the Buddhist hall, then this matter would not be a struggle between Yu Shi and Qi Shi, but a tragedy of her alone, Xu Liuli!If Mrs. Yu used this incident as a fuss to suspect that she had some schemes, maybe he would kick her out without her doing it - he is a realistic man, and when Mrs. Yu can still help him, He will not really shake her position.

The charcoal in the fumigation cage was still burning vigorously, but at this moment Liuli felt chills all over her body.She didn't know whether Mother Cheng bumped into her by accident or followed her, but she was indeed a little confused at this time, even worse than when she was making trouble in the main courtyard.

The crisis she had foreseen turned out to be waiting for her here, but the ridiculous thing was that she was still happily being a spectator!

"Miss Nine, Da Furen is asking you something! Didn't you hear it or what?"

Nie squinted her eyes and said in a strange way.

Seeing that Liuli didn't make a sound, Rui'er swallowed, and mumbled: "No, I didn't go out, yes, the room is warm, I forgot, forgot the time..."

"Who asked you to interrupt!"

Hong Xiu walked up and slapped her twice involuntarily.Rui'er was in tears, not even daring to cry.

Liuli frowned, gritted her teeth and stood up, "It was snowing yesterday, after dinner, I saw that the snow scene in the garden was very good, so I walked around the porch."

"Hmph, why did you go out for a walk? It was Xu time, and you went out for an hour or two!" Cheng Ma insisted, her face contorted into a hideous state. "The time when they went out was also the time when Cuiying was alone in the house, so why were they not suspected of murder?...Oh my god! My son died so badly!"
