boudoir

Chapter 51

Liuli thought she was saying that Mrs. Yu blamed her for not taking good care of Cuiying, she pondered for a while, and said, "I don't know exactly how Cuiying died. If someone really wanted to kill her, you wouldn't be able to see it. "

Rui'er tightened her grip on the mattress: "Miss, you mean Tian'er?"

Liuli looked at the empty bed where Cuiying had slept before, and said for a long time, "No, Tian'er may not be the real murderer."

Rui'er almost bit her own tongue: "Why, why?!"

Liuli glanced at her, said nothing, and lowered her head to flip through the book.

At first she suspected the cause of Cuiying's death, since Dr. Wu said that every winter, many people would die from being suffocated by the fire. One day and one night will not feel uncomfortable. Even though the brazier is lit now, it will not suffocate a person to death for two hours. The most important point is that Cuiying just fell asleep instead of comatose. His face was so calm when he died, without any sign of discomfort?Unless, she was unconscious before she died.

So she went to ask Dr. Wu, and Dr. Wu indirectly expressed suspicion about Cuiying's death.At first, she also thought that the murderer was Yu Shi who instigated Tian'er, but when the news of her death came, things seemed to change a bit - Tian'er would never commit suicide because of the death of Cuiying, not to mention that there was no conclusive evidence at that time. Evidence against her, she was still thinking about destroying Cuiying's money box, which was later in charge of Nine Girls, so how could she be willing to die like this?Even if she wanted to die, Mrs. Yu would definitely not agree.

So Tian'er will not commit suicide, but is likely to be killed, and the reason for being killed is to use this to push the Yu family to the forefront.As a third-rank married woman, Yu Shi cared about her life for the sake of her sister-in-law's spirit. Even if she blamed Tian'er for the crime, it would inevitably make people uneasy.Mrs. Yu will inevitably face a greater embarrassment than the incident of pouring water into the big kitchen.

Both Cuiying and Tian'er were killed. They died, and Yu Shi suffered a dumb loss. Qi Shi seemed to be the one who benefited the most. It seemed that she definitely had a reason to kill Tian'er because of this, but if she killed Tian'er Tianer, who killed Cuiying?

Liuli sighed involuntarily.Everything happened so unexpectedly, it was definitely premeditated, if she didn't go to Aunt Su's appointment that night, Cuiying would not die this time.

But these words can't be said to Rui'er, the two wives in the mansion are involved, and there is also a murderer who is completely unknown, before there is no conclusive evidence, you can't say a word.

She put down her book and stood up, went to the window and opened it. It was already bright outside, the snow had stopped, and two sparrows curled up their necks to look for food under the tree.

Two people died in the house, and even the snow had an ominous taste.

"I'll go back to my room to rest for a while. For the past two days, someone will deliver food in the big kitchen. Later, you can ask them to heat the food on the stove first."

She picked up her clothes and walked to the door.Rui'er was also in a daze, and when she heard this, she hurriedly stood up: "Girl, go and have a good rest!..."

The courtyard finally calmed down for a while due to this incident, and Nanny Li was still staying in the glazed room. For the past two days, she didn't even step up the threshold of the maids' rooms. She still wanted to put on airs when she saw Liuli, but Liuli didn't bother She often makes her feel ashamed.

After the snow stopped, the sun came out, and Rui'er was able to walk around while leaning on the wall after a few days of rest, but this day she leaned on a cane and washed Liuli's clothes under the porch.

Seeing her at the window, Liuli said, "It doesn't matter if you wear your clothes for two more days in winter before washing them. I don't go out anyway."

Rui'er said: "Which lady wears clothes for two days in a row? The girl can say it, but the servant can't do it. You are not like other girls. You have a box of clothes on the left and a box on the right. You just change and wash a few sets. If you don’t take advantage of the good weather and the hot water to wash it quickly, then you won’t have to wear it.”

Liuli couldn't resist her, so she took out a pen from the shelf and said, "Then you can figure it out, I'll write for a while."

Nanny Li was basking in the sun at the door, and when she saw the two of them singing together, she turned her back with a hum.

At this time, the courtyard door opened suddenly, and a person walked in. The white jade hairpin was tied with a black and smooth bun, the cloak with a large black fur collar, and the inside was a jacket with dark golden cloud patterns of the same color, with straight eyebrows. , It's hard to hide the suaveness.

Nanny Li tilted her head, and immediately threw away the carved chair under her buttocks and jumped up: "Master, my lord!"

Rui'er also hurriedly moved out of the corridor, wiped her hands on her body, endured the injury and bent over to hold her knees: "Slave maid, please greet the Eldest Master!"

From the window, Liuli could see clearly that it was He Wei, her mind tensed up immediately, she opened the curtain and came to the porch: "Liuli has seen the elder."

With his hands behind his back, He Yu said, "Everyone, get up."

Liuli took two steps away, opened the curtain with her own hands to let him in, and took out the round mahogany stool from behind the desk for him to sit on.

Both Li Nanny and Rui'er have come in, He Cunxi frowned at the stool, "Isn't there a decent chair?" Liuli said, "There was one..." Li Nanny listened to it, Hastily interfaced: "Yes, yes, this old servant will move here!"

Yang Gui, He Yu's servant, was also very clever, and immediately went out and moved the chair by the door of her room.After He Yu sat down, he took a sip of the tea from Liuli Bong, and said casually, "Madam Li is in the Nine Girls' room, are you still used to it?"

"Ah? This...Xi, habit, habit!"

Ever since that incident happened, Nanny Li has never felt at ease, and she is always worried that the old lady will be held accountable. Now that He Yuqi greets her about her daily life, her heart is surging and she can't help herself. She doesn't know whether to laugh for a while It's better to cry, an old face is twisted into twists abruptly.

He Yu was always greedy for looks, and he just wanted to show his courtesy for the sake of the old lady and the deceased sister. Now seeing her like this, he felt disgusted, so he waved his hands and said: "Go down."

Nanny Li and Yang Gui exited the door, Rui'er limped at the end.

He Yu looked at it with a frown, and said, "You only have two remnants and veterans left. Didn't Da Furen mention how many people will be added to you?"

Liuli nodded slightly: "Madam has a lot of things to do every day, so I must have made arrangements."

He Cistanno nodded, sat in a stable position, and began to drink tea.

Liuli remembered that when he came back here to drink tea, it was for her to stay. She also seriously suggested that he recommend himself as the food requisition envoy. road?In fact, having said that, serving as a food requisition envoy not only does not conflict with Yu's plan, but wouldn't it be more beneficial for them to earn that unconscionable money by taking this job?Lai saw that his expression was fine, so he tried to inquire: "The last time I was at the old lady's place, I heard that the fourth lady said that there is an urgent need for food and grass ahead. I wonder if the food requisition has been made now?"

He Yuxi glanced at her, "You are a girl, what do you care about such things? It is important to practice your boudoir style."
