boudoir

Chapter 75
Liuli calmed down: "Liuli dared to ask the old lady, if someone did this on purpose, would the impact on the Shangyuan Night have much to do with Hefu?"

The old lady looked at her twice, and then said: "If you deliberately pretend to be a ghost during the banquet at the house, it will naturally have a lot to do with it."

Liuli said again: "Then if this person is really captured, I don't know how to deal with it?"

"Naturally, we must be severely punished!" The old lady's eyes were sharp: "What are you trying to say?!"

Liuli said: "What Liuli wants to say is that if the old lady wants to be severely punished, it is better not to let the eldest lady take charge of the investigation."

The old lady stared at her like arrows, and she didn't retreat, but said: "I mean, this matter should be thoroughly investigated by the old lady. Because in the whole thing, everyone is suspicious, including me .Especially there was a misunderstanding between me and the fifth girl. Besides, the old lady must not know that the fifth girl had a dispute with the third girl at the Lantern Festival luncheon, and later the eldest lady went to the fourth room to talk about it. From this point of view, even the third girl is suspected. If the eldest lady presided over the investigation, wouldn't everyone be dissatisfied behind the scenes? And the third girl has been wronged for nothing. The old lady is the most fair, so Liuli pleads that this matter should be resolved. The old lady will be in charge of the investigation, and the perpetrators will be punished after the results are found.”

The old lady didn't move for a long time after listening, and Liuli was not in a hurry, looking down at the ground.

This is a desperate move.Yuhua's doing this kind of thing made Yanhua lose face and was punished. Regardless of whether Mrs. Yu knew it or not, Yuegui beat the person who slandered her for Liuli, and Liuli knelt down for this. Lift off this layer of skin by hand!

Perhaps no one would believe that Yuhua did this, but Liuli was the one who died at her hands, how could she not understand her methods?The scarecrow in Mei Linzi has become a demon in everyone's mind. It's okay to believe it is a ghost. Those who don't believe it, like Fu Rong, think that all this is a trap set by her. Ever since Mrs. Yu went to the fourth bedroom After slapping Yanhua violently, who would think that Yuhua, the noble and glamorous third girl, still insists on offending Yanhua?
She is not afraid of making troubles big, but she is afraid of making troubles!
The old lady was silent for a long time, then suddenly said: "Check!"

Liuli sat on her calf as if relieved from a heavy burden, and kowtowed to the ground: "Thank you, old lady!"

As soon as the old lady gave an order, someone called Qingshang back, and immediately came from Qian Changsheng's family and the old lady's companion, Zheng Qi's family. Everyone is called.Ask one by one who has seen someone carry a scarecrow into the garden, and who has seen any strange faces.

The four wives were also invited, and all the girls were invited except for the four who were in school.

Liuli stood under the curtain, and Yu Shi walked over: "Is there something wrong with you?" Liuli said with an innocent face, "How dare Liuli? It's just that the back garden is not clean. The old lady is afraid of committing some kind of monster again." , Said to make it clear." Yu Shi gave her a hard look, but walked back and sat down helplessly.

After half a day of interrogation, none of the hundreds of wives and servants outside found out that they had anything to do with it.The old lady glanced at Liuli and snorted slightly.Liuli was also beating drums in her heart, after thinking for a while, she called Rui'er over and gave some instructions.After hearing this, Ruier went out.

After a while, someone under the porch said: "I, I saw the person in the long room enter the garden..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes shot at Mrs. Yu.The face of Zi Yan who was standing behind turned pale, but Yu Shi was calm, and said to the people outside: "What's so strange about the presence of the head of the house?! Could it be that I can send someone to pass the word and walk around?!"

It is reasonable to say so, and everyone's eyes are relieved again.Only Qi's eyes are still meaningful.

Zheng Qijia continued the trial.Suddenly Qian Changsheng's family came in with a set of flesh-pink clothes, and said, "If you keep going like this, you won't get any results. These are the clothes that the scarecrow wore that day, and they were distributed to the second-class maids by the mansion." For supply, each person only has one set of the same color and the same material. According to the servant girl, all you need to do is gather the second-class maids and ask them where their clothes are. Those who can’t answer are regarded as suspects! Old lady How are your wives looking?"

The old lady said: "Very good! That's it! Ask the people in the warehouse to bring the distribution booklet, and all the maids who have been distributed with this clothes will come to the hall with the clothes!"

After the old lady said yes, no one dared to say no. Mrs. Liang sat for a long time, seeing that she finally had a feasible solution, she immediately praised the good idea, and ordered Wang Momo next to her to go back to the room to pass on the message.

Zi Yan was also in the row, she bit her lip and didn't move for a long time, Yu Shi frowned and stared at her, and she slowly went down.

Liuli saw it, and hurriedly asked Rui'er to go out and follow.

Zi Yan went back to the long room and found the only remaining set of flesh-pink clothes, her hands were still shaking.Sitting alone on the bedside for half a day, he suddenly raised the curtain and came to Yuhua's room, but Yuhua was studying in Wutong Court at this time, only the little maid Ru'er was dozing off in the room.Ziyan went out dejectedly, looking at the clothes in her hands but didn't know where she was going.No matter what, she couldn't hand over two sets of clothes today. As a suspect who played tricks to scare her master, even if the old lady didn't order her to execute, she would definitely be retaliated by the fifth girl. Who would believe that she was ordered by Yuhua? ?Even if he believed it, who would punish Yuhua for letting her go?
She suddenly felt a little regretful, she would have known better if she hadn't been envious of the position of the first-class maid...

The second-class maidservants in each courtyard arrived one after another with their clothes.As soon as they heard that they were involved in such a big relationship, they hurried over one by one, even if there were broken ones, washed ones and dirty ones, they brought them regardless.Mo Chou's two sets of clothes in Second Mistress's room were blown away by the wind, and she hurriedly invited Second Mistress' wet nurse to testify.

Mrs. Qian was counting with the treasury book, when a person came in hurriedly outside the door, and said, "Old Madam, Madam, Ziyan from the long room has jumped into the well!"

Yu Shi stood up abruptly: "What did you say?!"

"Chief, Ziyan from the Changfang jumped into the well!" The person who came was a servant who looked after the garden, seeing that Mrs. Yu was so awkward that he couldn't even speak.

Yu Shi frowned, and suddenly felt a little dizzy.

The old lady looked at Mrs. Qian like a shuttle: "What class is Zi Yan?"

Mrs. Qian glanced at Mrs. Yu, bowed her body and said, "It's second class."

The whole house fell silent.Yu steadied his mind and said: "Where is the person?"

"He was rescued now, and he is not dead yet..."

"Bring her here!"

Amidst the nervousness in the room, Rui'er returned to Liu Li's side calmly. "It really was her! She was about to jump into the well in the back garden, but the maidservant didn't show up and called someone to rescue her. It's not such a good thing to die like this!" Rui'er curled her lips and said.Liuli hummed and remained silent.

Zi Yan was quickly brought over, she had already changed her clothes, and lay on the ground shivering.

Shi Yu pointed at her and said, "Why did you jump into the well?"

Zi Yan didn't dare to raise her head, she fell on the ground trembling.The old lady said, "Ask her if she has any clothes."

Zheng Qijia stepped forward and kicked Zi Yan, Zi Yan turned over and lay on the ground, crying and looking at Mrs Yu: "Madam, save me!"

Yu was furious: "Shut up! How dare you ask me to save you after making such a big mistake!"

Ziyan was crying so hard that she was out of breath, the old lady said: "Drag it on, ask it clearly and submit it!"

Zheng Qijia hurriedly greeted his mother-in-law and carried her out.

Yu Shi suddenly became the focus of everyone.Liang's face was calm, but a piece of silk in his hand kept rolling out flowers between his fingers.Mrs. Qi sat quietly, staring at Mrs. Yu's eyes unscrupulously.Yu Shi stared back, knowing that she was taking pleasure in other's misfortunes, but still taking care of her status as the elder sister-in-law, she tried her best to appear indifferent.Nie finally figured out who was the culprit who frightened Yan Hua, and he was reluctant to show his face because of Yu's identity, but seeing her so at ease, he couldn't help being angry and hated, and his eyes turned red when he stared at her.

The maids and women have been tormented by the haunting in the garden, and they were shocked to hear that it was intentional, but they all hindered the presence of the masters, and they all couldn't hold back.

The old lady looked at the dark tide in the room, she seemed to have made up her mind to keep silent until Zi Yan came out for trial, and asked Aunt Su to bring the bird's nest, drinking in silence.

After waiting for about half a stick of incense, Zheng Qijia came in with a little maid.

"Old lady, I have asked you clearly." Zheng Qijia handed over the paper from the little maid, looked around, but did not continue.The old lady was silent, beckoning her to come closer.Zheng Qijia approached and said a few words, the old lady's eyes gradually became sharper, her eyebrows furrowed quickly, and it took half a day for her to relax very slowly.

Everyone listened with their ears up, and naturally they couldn't understand why, and their eyes were fixed on the old lady's face, hoping to see some clues.

After a moment of silence, the old lady suddenly raised her eyes and said, "Lock up that girl first." With a wave of Zheng Qijia's hand, a woman came down to do it.The old lady said again: "Let's all go down."

Everyone got up in a daze, not knowing whether to leave or not.Liuli also stood up, but the old lady suddenly said: "You stay."

Liuli replied yes, and stayed behind amidst a bunch of astonished eyes.

After a while the whole room cleared up, the old lady even sent Biyun and Qingshang down, and said to Liuli, "Go in and talk." Liuli hurried forward and helped her to the flower hall.

The old lady sat down, stared at her for a while, and said, "Did you know who ordered this?"

Liuli shook her head: "Go back to the old lady, Liuli doesn't know, how can Liuli have such abilities?"

"How dare you lie!" The coffee table on the top was suddenly shaken, and the old lady said sharply: "If you don't know, why would you risk offending your aunt to come and ask me to investigate thoroughly?!"

Liuli raised her head, her eyes were like mirrors.As expected, the old lady wasn't too old to be confused. If so, then it's easy to say.
