The reborn princess

Chapter 70 The Murder in the Snow (2)
"No problem, fortunately, my mother left my grandfather's house early!" Nalan Jing said lightly.

"Amitabha, God bless!" As soon as he said that, San Yiniang and Nalan Yehua came in from outside. San Yiniang was still the same, holding a string of sandalwood rosary beads in her hand, and she was always indifferent to the world. Feel like.

"In this snowy day, how could there be water? You slaves must have used the small kitchen to get the water!" Nalan Yehua said in a deep voice. This small kitchen is for the masters. If the master is not here, those This servant has no right to use the kitchen, and there will be no fire source from the outside in this snowy day. Someone must have burned the stove and fell out of the fire, burning the small kitchen.

"Master Mingjian, the servants will definitely not steal the small kitchen, this food is brought from the big kitchen, please Master Mingjian!" The servants heard Nalan Yehua say that they secretly used the small kitchen, and hurriedly Kneeling down, the snow became heavier again, and everyone didn't care about other things, they all knelt in the snow.

"Hmph, who would it be if it weren't for you!" Nalan Yehua snorted coldly, obviously not believing what they said.

Seeing that the fire was extinguished, Nalanjing helped Liucui into the small kitchen, the room was completely dark, the tables and windows were all burnt out, leaving only pieces of ashes, Nalanjing frowned. He frowned, this shouldn't be, it's snowing outside, and the house should be a little damp, how could there be such a big fire, even if someone secretly used the small kitchen and accidentally fell out of the fire, it wouldn't be so big yes.

Nalan Jing walked very slowly, every step seemed to be extremely heavy, suddenly, she looked at the table where the vegetables were placed in the corner before, a gleam of light came out, Na Lanjing walked over, and turned the heat with her foot Looking at the blackened table legs, I suddenly found a hole in the corner of the wall.

"Miss!" Liu Cui exclaimed, and pushed the ashes further, exposing the small hole on the side of the wall, which is obviously the same as the outside.

Nalan Jing took a look, the snow outside seemed to have melted a bit, and there seemed to be some yellow objects left on the snow, Liu Cui followed Na Lanjing's gaze, and found this kind of thing, she tore off the skirt. He took a piece of cloth, stretched out his hand a little, got some of the liquid out, put it in his nose and smelled it, "Miss, it's pine oil!" Scooped out a hole, poured pine oil into the small kitchen, threw in a torch, and the fire started.

Na Lanjing frowned, is this really as simple as it seems? "Let's go, let's go out first!" Nalan Jing led Liu Cui out of the house.

"Come on, suppress these scumbags!" Nalan Jing had just left the room when she heard Nalan Yehua's furious voice.

"Wait a minute, Dad!" Nalan Jing yelled, and hurried over.

"Miss, help me, the servants really didn't steal the small kitchen!" The servants saw that Na Lanjing stopped them, and hurriedly begged Na Lanjing for help.These days everyone can clearly see that in this courtyard, even the master may not be able to touch the eldest lady.

"Hmph, these unreasonable slaves almost harmed your mother, why do you still want to protect them?" Nalan Yehua lowered his voice, luckily it was just the small kitchen on fire, if it was Gong's house.Nalan Yehua's heart tightened. Hearing the news that there was water in Gong's courtyard, his body couldn't help shaking, and an inexplicable fear rose in his heart.

"Daddy, come with your daughter!" Nalan Jing said lightly, and then led the way.These servants were all brought out by Mrs. Gong from the palace, Mrs. Gong would feel sad if something happened to them, and she had to try her best to protect them, not to mention, this incident of accident had nothing to do with them.

Na Lanjing walked in front, and everyone followed closely behind. The small forest was next to the Gong family's house. After all, the walls of this small kitchen were relatively thin when it was built, so it was naturally easier to dig.

Because of the snow, few people come here in this forest, and there are a few footprints on the white snow.

"What is this?" Everyone walked to the small hole, and saw that there was a place where the snow melted around it, and the footprints in the snow had obviously been processed, and they could no longer see their original appearance.

"What is this?" Nalan Yehua obviously also noticed a few yellow drops in the snow, and when people looked at it, it turned out to be pine oil!Nalan Yehua's brows were tightly frowned into a "Chuan" character. It was obvious that someone had set fire to the Gong family's house.

"Hey, what is this?" Liu Cui helped Na Lanjing to the side, and she stepped on something, she moved her foot and saw that it was a green jade pendant.

"Miss!" Liu Cui picked it up and handed it to Nalanjing.

Na Lanjing took it over, seeing the words engraved on it, her eyes darkened, the jade pendant was round in color, obviously worn for many years, it was cold and thorough in the palm of her hand, different from the chill in the snow, it was a kind of jade pendant that flowed from the jade pendant continuously. The coldness she uttered by herself can be seen at a glance as a valuable ancient saying, but the Buddha characters engraved on it made Nalan calm down. The only master in the mansion who believed in Buddha was her.

"This!" Everyone saw it, and they all looked at Third Aunt.

"Third Aunt, is this jade pendant yours?" Nalan calmed down and handed the jade pendant over.

"This!" Third Aunt's eyelids twitched, this jade pendant could not be found this morning, how could it appear in this place?Just as she reached out to take it, Nalanjing let go of her hand and fell into the snow again.

"Third aunt, I'm sorry, the princess slipped her hand, you can pick it up again!" Nalanjing smiled coldly, and gave third aunt a disdainful look.

Third Yiniang took a deep breath, knowing that Na Lanjing deliberately made things difficult for her, but she still bent down and picked up the jade pendant in the snow, "Back to Miss, this is also the jade pendant that my concubine lost a few days ago!" Third Auntie took out an extremely clean handkerchief, and gently wiped the blood on it.

"Oh? What a coincidence!" Nalan Jing's eyes were cold, this jade pendant was very valuable, how could Third Aunt carelessly lose it?

"Perhaps there is a servant with unclean hands and feet!" San Yiniang didn't see any change on her face, she just lowered her eyes and hung the jade pendant back on her waist!
"Oh? What a coincidence, this servant with unclean hands and feet stole such a valuable thing, so he naturally had to keep it carefully, why did he put it on the ground so carelessly, or was such a valuable There are a lot of things, and I don’t care if I lose any of them! But I’m afraid this kind of person can only be the master of the mansion!” Nalan Jing smiled, staring at the third aunt, wanting to get rid of her There are some clues on the face.

"Okay, the thief must have dropped it by accident. The third aunt has been with me all this time, and she will never be the one who set the fire. The most important thing now is to fix your mother's small kitchen!" Nalan Yehua coughed With a sound, Na Lanjing was blocked from seeing Third Aunt.
