Chapter 425 The Grand Finale (18)
Unexpectedly, she saw a face full of panic expressions. She knew that this girl was one of Murong Yu's cousins ​​and the concubine of the third wife, but she didn't know her name, because the third wife never He will not introduce those concubines and concubines for her.

The girl looked around vigilantly, and then said with a pleading expression: "Sister-in-law, my leg is numb, can you help me up?"

Gu Qingmei instinctively sensed something, but she didn't say a word, she just helped her up, then pinched the ball of paper in her hand, raised her eyebrows without a trace, and finally knew why this girl asked her to help her up.

She turned her face to Su Chen, who was kneeling on the other side of her, and said, "Help me up, I'll go to the toilet."

Su Chenqing hurriedly helped her up, and she went back to her own yard. Although she doesn't live here now, everything in the yard remains the same, and Jiang Wanruo even ordered someone to clean it on time every day to prepare for her. When he and Murong Yu come back, they can stay anytime.

After closing the door, she opened the note in her hand, only to see that there were only two words written on the note...Help!
She thought about it and burned the note.

Su Chenqing asked: "Aunt Mei, what does this mean?"

"I don't know!" Gu Qingmei sat down with some doubts, not understanding why the third wife's concubine would write a letter to ask for help.

After all, she has never had any contact with the third lady, and she also knows that the third lady has bad intentions for her, and even framed herself once. Although she didn't succeed, she can't help but guard against it.

Although the girl didn't look like she was pretending, she had to be wary that this was the third lady trying to frame her, because the third lady's sons and daughters seemed to obey her orders.

Maybe it was used by her to frame herself.

Gu Qingmei took a rest here, Su Chenqing ordered the woman in charge of the yard to boil water, and the two drank some tea.

The princess died, Gu Qingmei couldn't be more happy than happy, how could she cry to death?Even acting can't be performed.

After resting enough, the two returned to the front yard and continued to kneel beside the coffin.

In the evening, everyone could finally go back to rest, only a few people were left to watch the spirit in shifts, and the first ones were the eldest son Murong Hui and his wife.

Since the second, third, and fourth children have to rush back from the outside before the funeral can be held, so the coffin has to be stopped these days. Since the coffin is stopped, someone has to keep watch. It takes twelve hours to burn paper and burn incense uninterruptedly. Still need to add sesame oil, don't let the ever-burning lamp go out.

All this has to be done in shifts.

When someone in the family dies, according to the custom, members of the family cannot preside over the funeral, and must find someone they know to preside over the funeral.If there was no such thing as Jiang Shaoyan, Princess Mu Jun would have to help preside over the funeral. However, because of Jiang Shaoyan's incident, even if there is no quarrel between the two families, they will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable when they meet.

So this time to preside over the funeral, instead of inviting Princess Mu Jun, Ma Yunshang, Gu Qingmei's second sister-in-law, was invited.

Although Ma Yunshang is young, she is Gu Qingmei's second sister-in-law, and secondly, Mother Chun's niece. With Mother Chun's guidance, she also handles things perfectly.

Especially the reception work in the inner house was arranged in an orderly manner.

At Gu Qingmei's suggestion, Ma Yunshang arranged a list of night watchmen, and on the pretext that there were too many people in the third room, he forced the girl who gave Gu Qingmei the life-saving note to watch the night with Gu Qingmei.

Although the third lady was a little reluctant, but this matter was arranged in front of the prince, she couldn't say anything.

Although Gu Qingmei suspected that the life-saving note was a trick of the third wife to frame her, she still couldn't restrain her curiosity, because there were too many unreasonable things in the third wife's room.

Before, out of curiosity, she sent the sisters of the Su family to visit the courtyard of the third lady at night, but the sisters of the Su family didn't even go in, so they retreated, saying that the guards in the courtyard were stricter than the guards of the entire palace. Even stricter.

Since then, she has determined that there is something wrong with the third lady.

On the first night, it was the son and concubine's vigil, but on the second night it was Murong Yu's, Gu Qingmei's, and the concubine's daughter of the third wife.

Gu Qingmei has already found out that the concubine of the third wife is named Murong Qiuxiang, which is simply the name of a maid.

A group of monks were chanting the mantra of rebirth in a circle, and several maidservants who were watching the night were already so sleepy that they began to doze off.

Murong Yu knelt in front of the coffin, muttering softly while throwing paper money into the copper basin, but he didn't say anything nice, they just cursed the dead old woman for why she died.

It was already the middle of the night, almost everyone was sleepy, even Murong Yu yawned.

If he was marching and fighting, he would be fine for three days and three nights, but he didn't even bother to stay awake for this old woman.

If it wasn't because he didn't want to be honest, he would have gone back to his room to sleep long ago.

Gu Qingmei suddenly touched Murong Qiuxiang beside her, "Sister Qiuxiang, I'm going to the toilet, do you want to go together?"

Murong Qiuxiang was taken aback for a moment, then realized something, and hurriedly stood up happily, "Okay!"

Gu Qingmei took Su Chenqing's hand and stood up.

Over there, Murong Qiuxiang also stood up holding her maid's hand, but her maid didn't know what was going on, and suddenly her feet went limp, and she fell to the ground with a sound of "Ouch". In the silent night, the bones were dislocated The sound is unusually obvious.

The servant girl was sweating profusely from the pain, lying on the ground unable to move.

"Hey, what did you say? It must have been kneeling for too long, and my feet were numb, so I couldn't stand still." Gu Qingmei hurriedly said hypocritically. "Qing'er, hurry up to find the housekeeper and invite a doctor to show you. I can't bear it anymore, let Qiuxiang accompany me to make it easier."

After saying that, she dragged Murong Qiuxiang away, all the way to her yard.

The woman watching the courtyard had already gone to bed. There was no one in the courtyard, but the door was not bolted. The two entered the courtyard quietly. Gu Qingmei bolted the courtyard door behind her back, and then led Murong Qiuxiang into her room. He lowered his voice and asked, "What does the note you gave me mean exactly?"

Murong Qiuxiang's eyes turned red all of a sudden, filled with crystal clear tears, and suddenly she bent her knees and knelt down to Gu Qingmei, "Sister-in-law, I know you are powerful, please, help us Bar!"

"Get up first, and speak clearly. What happened? Why did you ask me to save you?" Gu Qingmei pulled her up from the ground forcefully, then led her into the living room in the back room, and asked her to sit down with a very serious attitude. ask kindly.

When Murong Qiuxiang heard her question, her body trembled with fear, "Third Madam...she is not a human being, but a devil. She has been drugging and torturing us all these years. If anyone dares to disobey her, Don't give us the antidote, and then put us in the dungeon..."
