The weather is getting colder and colder, dripping into ice. The pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info the subordinates on night duty in the Ning'an Hou Mansion inspected it. Ha angrily hoarded his sleeves and walked back. The branches of the little north wind whined. The lamp in his hand flickered on and off, and the wind blew on his face with a stinging pain, and his feet unconsciously accelerated. You can only get warmer when you go back to the house. No one wants to come out in this kind of weather, and they used to be lazy, but now it's different. The Hou Mansion is strictly in charge. How dare you slack off as a subordinate? Those on duty at night don't dare to be confused, and there have been those who have been rectified before. The alarm bells have been sounded for a long time. had to stand up against the wind and cold. It was about to be the third watch, and the courtyards of the masters were locked. The rest of the place should be fine, too. In the second half of the night, he can sleep until dawn.

Walking and walking, I felt that something was wrong. Suddenly a strange sound came from behind the rockery. It's like two people talking. This is the place where it intersects with the inner house. Who is not sleeping and coming here? He was startled. Getting closer, the faint words came again.

"What are you afraid of, everything has me. ”

"Don't say it, it's not too early, I'm going back. ”

"When did you become so bold, why did you dislike me, don't forget ----"

"No nonsense! I'll go back!"

"Come on, pretend to be tall in front of me. If it weren't for the good deeds, you think I'd be willing to find you. Look at your face. ”

The voices of a man and a woman grew lower. The woman snorted a few times. At last he gasped.

The listener broke out in a cold sweat after listening to it for a while. As soon as the north wind blew, it was even colder. One of his feet was unsteady and he fell to the stone. It scared him so much that his soul was gone. In a panic, he turned off the lights. Hidden.

"Who?"

How dare you speak up at night. Frightened, he hid and did not move. The man asked again. I was unhappy and looked at the woman under me. Lost interest. hastily put on his clothes. Walked out. Thinking in his heart, it seems that he is still careless, and he has to make sure that no one has bumped into everything just now before he can rest assured. After thinking about it, he raised his leg and turned around. The woman didn't dare to say anything more. He only glared at the man's back. Soon after he left, a ghost left in his heart.

The next day, An Ning had breakfast. was about to go to Luo Xinlan's yard.

Erbao came in to report the incident, saying that the porter's husband had drunk too much wine last night. I accidentally fell off the rockery while patrolling. When I found it, my body was cold and hard.

Dead husband. It stands to reason that it's quite ordinary. There is a huge Hou Mansion, and there are not a few people. It's not surprising that there is a long and short. But tranquility just feels that something is wrong.

She was still a little impressed by those porters. When I first came to the Hou Mansion, I went out openly and secretly. Don't listen to it secretly. I haven't heard of any good wine. How can you drink too much?

"Erbao, you go and inquire in detail. There were a few people who patrolled last night, and they were all at any hour. Don't alarm anyone else. ”

Erbao took the order and left. An Ning pondered for a moment.

"Sanbao went to his mother's side to inform him, I'll go later. Don't deliberately mention the matter of changing husbands, so as not to bother your mother. Let Xiaoxi and them pay attention at any time, Li Yuzhen and Geng Yuehua should not let their mothers worry. If you bother your mother with this matter, send it away as soon as possible. ”

The Three Treasures responded. The girl was thoughtful. At this time, Mrs. Hou was in need of physical care. After all, the affairs of the dead are unlucky. Mrs. Hou is soft-hearted. It would be bad if those two insidious people came up with some bad idea and affected Mrs. Hou.

"Girl, you'd better wait for news. It's freezing and don't blow the wind. ”

The Four Treasures are worried about the peaceful body. Although the maintenance is good on weekdays, the girl's foundation is still poor. After entering the wax moon, it is even more chilly. Even An Ning herself wondered that the recovery ability of this small body was amazing. The injuries of the year were heavy, and An Ning knew very well in her heart. It's amazing how well it can get better in just a short period of time.

This fear of the cold has been there before. I just didn't care so much. Since detoxifying Rong Yuan. Instead, it's heavier. Every winter, she will never step out of the house without going out.

"It's okay, I'll just go to the scene to have a look, and I always feel that this matter is not simple. ”

Sibao knew the girl's temper. I had to prepare the hand stove. Accompanied her out the door.

Thinking about this kind of thing, the girl didn't have to go there herself. After all, the words came out of his mouth, but he didn't ask. The girl may have taken care of it. During the day, their people are not easy to see. By night, the trail might have been destroyed.

Sibao was right. An Ning is also afraid that the clues at the scene will be gone.

The master and servant came to the place of the accident. The man has been carried away. Since it's still early. The blood on the ground hadn't had time to be cleaned up.

An Ning took a general look. frowned. The Four Treasures are also carefully examined.

I even took a look at the situation around the rockery. An Ning was surprised.

Sibao also saw his doubts.

"Girl, be careful in your step. "There is still residual snow on the rockery. Slippery underfoot.

"Don't worry, Sibao, you see, there are no marks that have been stepped on here, how can you say that you fell from here? and what will happen to people if you fall from this angle?"

An Ning didn't stop, saying as he walked through.

The girl was suspicious that there was no sign of an accident here, and that if she fell from here, the landing side would not be complete. But Erbao reported that the husband was in good health. And there wasn't much blood on the ground just now. There must be something strange in it. ”

"Yes, it seems that this matter is indeed not simple. "An Ning and Sibao walked down the rockery.

What prompted the death of the husband? An Ning is now impossible to analyze.

I don't know what happened to Erbao's side of the investigation. My mother's side should also know. I don't know why the two of them are bothering their mothers. The scene has already been seen, and she has to go to her mother's place to see it to rest assured.

"Yo, why is Miss Ning here early in the morning? This has just been killed, and it is bloody!" Mama Liu, who was beside Li Yuzhen, hurriedly walked over. Seeing Tranquility and the Four Jewels, he bowed deeply, his face full of concern.

"It's not too late for Mama Liu, so don't rush into the girl in a hurry. Sibao said lightly.

This Mama Liu is an old dog beside Li Yuzhen. It's hidden deep on weekdays. Secretly seeing unsavory deeds is rarely her help.

Mama Liu was choked and laughed busily. "It's all old slaves, please forgive Miss Ning. This happened in the early morning in the house, and the ladies in charge were frightened. reported to the Hou Ye, and then sent the old slave to deal with it. "The words are good, and the attitude is right. When the Four Jewels received the hint of peace, they stopped talking.

Mama Liu saw that An Ning was leaving. My heart was relieved. He had to command his mother-in-law to wash the ground clean.

"Wait, Mama Liu, wait a minute. There is a death in the house, so it is better to be cautious. I'll wait until I've asked my father. ”

What this old slave said meant was that she had already made it clear to Hou Ye, and she had permission to deal with the scene. Is it necessary to use such words to oppress people? Usually, the dead person did not take out the instructions of the Hou Ye. Something went wrong, and An Ning felt even more suspicious.

"Miss Ning, I'm afraid this is not appropriate, Master Hou has already ordered to clean up as soon as possible, and at the end of the year, the handling of bad luck is not good and delayed. I don't know why Miss Ning is stopping her?"

Mama Liu's old eyes rolled. The heart said that she had come on the orders of Mrs. Jane. It's unclear what twists and turns are there. But it's not easy for Miss Ning to stop it. But she couldn't argue with it.

It has to be said that this old dog can talk. But when she met An Ning, she couldn't do anything.

"What does Mama Liu mean by this, of course this girl is for the reputation of the Hou Mansion. There is no impermeable wall in this world, and you are right, the Chinese New Year is coming now. But something like this happened. All the subordinates in the house are inevitably worried. If one is not handled properly, it will make people's hearts chill. Although it was caused by drinking too much, it was better to wait a little longer for the sake of thorough consideration. An Ning glanced at Mama Liu.

"This ---- just a subordinate. Why should Miss Ning take it to heart. Mama Liu hesitated. Think about your own words.

This Ning girl, she didn't dare to speak carelessly. Since she came to the Hou Mansion, she knows very well what her master's situation is. The situation is not optimistic. She was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble to her master. But the task just assigned by the master has not been completed, how to find a way?

"The next person is also a human being, doesn't Mama Liu think so?"

An Ning said this deliberately, and Mama Liu's face almost couldn't hold back. The wording of the slur. I secretly cursed a dead girl in my heart.

Mama Liu took it for a while, and she didn't think about how to persuade An Ning away. There is no urgency in tranquility. Spend here to see which of them dares to do it.

Just then, Anya and the maid came over. A beautiful outfit, obviously carefully dressed.

"What a coincidence today, Sister Ning is actually willing to come out. This is -----Mama Liu---- this -----" Anya's smile was startled by the blood on the ground. Speak with a trill.

Anya didn't know what was going on? But looking at her, it doesn't seem like pretending.

Mama Liu hurriedly explained. Anya let out a long sigh.

"I just got to die at this time. Blame the pitiful. Sister Ning, why don't we give his family more silver. ”

An Ning glanced at Anya. "I have my elders to deal with it. Besides, things haven't been asked clearly. ”

"Ah, could it be that this husband was killed by someone? It's terrible! Does Mother know? Let's go and report it!" Anya thought turned. glanced at Mama Liu. Mama Liu shook her head secretly. If Miss Ya can move Miss Ning, she will be able to clean it up.

It is not difficult to guess what Anya was thinking at this time.

I don't know what is hidden in this matter, is Mama Liu just instructed by Li Yuzhen?

Isn't everything in this house the information she has?

An Ning ignored Anya. Until the housekeeper of the outer courtyard took people and made a detailed record of the scene with the orders of the Hou Ye. That's it.

Mama Liu's old face was crimson, and she didn't dare to talk nonsense with a gloomy expression. Just now, she came under the banner of Hou Ye and acted according to Li Yuzhen's words. In the blink of an eye, the Hou Ye sent someone again, and the lie was exposed. Could it be that Mrs. Cheng Zhen didn't report to the Hou Ye? Probably not, isn't it just the death of a cheap slave. It's not a big deal. But now I saw the housekeeper take a closer look. She wasn't sure. What is the Madame hiding from her? I felt unhappy at the thought of this.

She hurriedly retired and returned to Li Yuzhen's yard.

Li Yuzhen was drinking tea in the house. "I've seen the second lady. ”

"Got it done?"

"Second Mrs. Hui, Miss Ning is there------" Mama Liu recounted the experience. His eyes were secretly staring at Li Yuzhen's reaction.

"I don't blame you, I obviously followed the Hou Ye, who knew that the hexagram had changed, and I thought that something bad would happen during the New Year. It's over early. I didn't expect them to make a big fuss. Forget it, no matter, anyway, this Hou Mansion is not my head now. Also, Mama should not call the second lady in the future, lest someone with a heart listen to it and fall into the trap. ”

Mama Liu nodded hurriedly, "Slave and maid remember, uh, don't blame the slave and maid for being too talkative, this matter has nothing to do with us, right?"

"It has nothing to do with us, Mama rest assured. Li Yuzhen said, her eyes flashed, there shouldn't be anything wrong with her, right?! No, I have to find a chance to ask that person.

When Mama Liu saw Li Yuzhen's expression, she didn't feel good in her heart. Madame didn't hide anything from her before, but since the incident with Mama Lu, she has always felt uncomfortable. He also took care of his future. Thinking about Li Yuzhen's ruthlessness again, there is no need for the old lady. Anyone who can still listen to her. But it doesn't seem so simple now. Why didn't Madame tell her the truth? She had to watch carefully, and I don't believe she didn't notice it at all!

Where did Li Yuzhen think of Mama Liu's thoughts. She's counting out when she's looking for that person. It's definitely not going to work at this time, but I'm afraid things will change again if it's too late. This made her in a dilemma, and she secretly hated it in her heart! )
