Chapter 142: Substitute for the Dead Ghost

In the west building, Old Lady Shen was still in a coma, but his face didn't look so pale, and he could take some of the decoction.

Xinglan had already learned about Xiao Cui's disappearance from Twelve's mouth last night, and she understood that Gongsun Lu had made her do the poisoning, and besides that, she couldn't think of anyone else in this mansion who had a grudge against her.

But Xinglan didn't have any evidence to prove that Gongsun Lu did it, and she was a little annoyed in her heart, annoyed that Twelve failed to save Xiaocui. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so passive.

Just as Xinglan was frowning, Twelve suddenly flashed in from outside.

Xinglan didn't blame Twelve for Xiaocui's matter, but Twelve was not stupid and knew that this matter was not beautiful by himself. That night, he did see Xiao Cui quietly go out of the mansion, but Xinglan only told him to pay attention to Gongsun Lu's movements, so he didn't pay attention to it, and when he noticed that something was wrong, he rushed out to find that Xiao Cui had been killed and her body was dumped under the hillside on the outskirts of the city.

So Twelve didn't dare to be careless anymore, and saw Fang Mo hurriedly calling Gongsun Lu and Gongsun Ying to Zeng Yun's room from a distance, he couldn't be too close, and he didn't know what they were discussing. After a while, Fang Mo went to call Gongsun Lu's personal Yu Hua again, and knew that something was wrong. Hurry up and inform Xinglan.

Xinglan pondered for a while, then asked, "Are you sure that the housekeeper went to ask about Fang Mo Xiaocui's disappearance, and Zeng Yun called Gongsun Ying and Gongsun Lu over?"

Twelve knelt on the ground and said with certainty, "Yes!"

Xinglan heard that the skirt was lifted and walked out, Millennium was waiting outside the door, Xinglan opened the door coldly and came out, she was stunned, and when she came back to her senses, she quickly followed.

Xin Wei and Shen Yue just turned around from the corridor next to them when they saw Xinglan's hurried figure. Xin Wei opened his mouth to ask the eldest lady where she was going in a hurry, but before the voice came out, the person was gone.

"Uncle......" Xin Wei looked at Shen Yue next to him and didn't know what to say.

Shen Yue looked at Xinglan's back with his hands behind his back thoughtfully, and then said, "Good life, wait for the old lady, report any situation in time." Then he followed Xinglan leisurely.

In Nanyuan, Yuhua followed Fang Mo into the door.

After Yuhua entered, she saw her mother, Zeng Yun, looking at her with a gloomy face. Miss Lu sat on one side, her cheek faintly seeing the palm print, and her face turned to the side with a sobbing cry. Ying Gongzi was boredly playing with the teacup in his hand.

Yuhua knelt down and prostrate on the ground, but her heart was turbulent. She didn't dare to look up, this atmosphere made her feel uneasy, for fear of confirming her thoughts.

"Yuhua, how many years have you been in Gongsun Mansion?" Zeng Yun didn't let Yuhua get up, nor did he ask about the poisoning, but instead started a routine.

Yuhua's body trembled when she lay on the ground, and replied respectfully, "Mrs. Hui! Yuhua has been in the mansion for twenty years. ”

"Yes, time flies so fast, I just married my lord when you entered the mansion. Now that our children are so old, Huzi is almost at the age of marriage!" Zeng Yun seemed to have thought of something, and his face was no longer so gloomy.

Yuhua raised her head with tears in her eyes, she already understood, she understood. "At the beginning, I didn't do anything when I was young, but thanks to my wife's support, Yuhua had the honor to be an errand in the house. Later, he also chose a good family for Yuhua, the husband and wife were harmonious, and they had children. All this Yuhua is remembered in his heart and he dare not forget it. After speaking, he kowtowed three times to Zeng Yun.

"Although Lu'er was born smart and cute, she is still a child after all, and it is indispensable to cause trouble. If it weren't for the protection of Lu'er, Zeng Yun wouldn't want Yuhua to be a substitute for the dead.

Having said that, Yuhua still has something she doesn't understand, it's just that she knows too much and does too much. Fang Mo came in with a tray from the outside, and a white porcelain cup was placed on it, and after entering, it was placed in front of Yuhua.

Yuhua trembled and touched the corner of her clothes, and a red pill fell in the palm of her hand, she glanced at Gongsun Lu with a face, put the pill in her mouth, picked up the wine glass in front of her with trembling hands, raised her head and swallowed the pill with wine.

"Madam! Yuhua has been in the mansion for many years, although she has no merit, but she has worked hard. Yuhua only asks his wife for one thing, and hopes that his wife can protect Yuhua's family. There are no regrets about going. Yuhua kowtowed to Zeng Yun again.

"Uncle!" the slave went in and reported. Uncle!" Before the words outside the door fell, the door was vigorously pushed open from the outside.

The people in the house were frightened, and they all looked towards the door, only to see Gongsun Nan walking in with a serious face, followed by Xinglan and the housekeeper.

Zeng Yun quickly regained his composure, stood up and asked Gongsun Nan, "Big brother, why do you have time to come over today?"

Gongsun Nan looked at Yuhua, who was kneeling on the ground with his head down and not speaking, "Brother and sister, what are you doing?"

Zeng Yun smiled slightly, got out of the way, and said to Gongsun Nan: "The maid Xiaocui in Lu'er's yard hasn't returned overnight, isn't this asking the steward!"

"I was also about to ask! Since Mrs. Shen's accident, she has disappeared, but the most important thing is that someone saw her enter the small kitchen of Xiyuan before the incident. The more Gongsun Nan spoke, the colder his tone became, and then he stared at Gongsun Lu with sharp eyes.

Gongsun Lu's back was cold, she didn't dare to look directly into Gongsun Nan's eyes, and she hid behind Zeng Yun with a little fear, she felt weak in her heart about this matter, so she naturally didn't dare to say more, she had never seen such an uncle before, and her helpless eyes glanced around.

Zeng Yun is a very good actor, pretending to be surprised and said, "What! There is such a thing! What is going on with Yuhua?" Zeng Yun skillfully pulled Yuhua out.

Yuhua was prostrate on the ground, her body trembling unconsciously, I don't know if she was afraid or if the poison she had just eaten was already attacking.

Xinglan stood aside and watched the movements of Gongsun Lu, Zeng Yun and Yuhua carefully. She also saw Gongsun Lu's dodging eyes, and she was even more sure that her grandfather's affairs must be related to Gongsun Lu.

"Yuhua! If you have anything, just say, someone in this Gongsun Mansion is in charge for you, don't be afraid. Xinglan didn't know why Yuhua was so scared. Anyway, he is also in charge, and he has been in the house for so many years.

"Yes, just say anything!" Miss Lan spoke. Zeng Yun's words were a bit ironic, she was laughing at Xinglan for being too tender, and the juniors in this room didn't speak, but Xinglan spoke, and she was ashamed to say that she was in charge!

But after Xinglan asked, Yuhua, who was crawling on the ground, trembled even more. Xinglan didn't care about Zeng Yun's sarcasm, she knew that Yuhua must know the truth of the matter, and the breakthrough was also on her.

Xinglan didn't think about it, Yuhua was the person next to Zeng Yun after all, and it was impossible to betray Zeng Yun inside and out. But people's hearts are flesh and blood, Xiaocui has become a substitute for the dead, isn't Yuhua afraid that she will also become a substitute for the dead, die! Who is not afraid! As long as you can take Yuhua away, I believe there will be a way for her to speak.
