Chapter 240: Hu's Confession
Hu recalled that the place where Qin Yu fell into the water was led by the nightingale, saying that there were small crickets. It was windy by the pond, and after standing for a while, she was cold. She was a little worried and wanted to pull Qin Yu back. Then the nightingale suddenly told her that her newly made gold earrings were missing.
She had been saving up for a long time, and she had only been wearing them for a few days. When she heard this, she was anxious, and hurriedly explained a few words to the nightingale, and went back to look for it.
As a result, after walking not far away, I met Li Po, who had a good relationship with her and was cooking in the kitchen. When Li Po heard her say that she was looking for earrings, she said that when she saw her in the morning, she didn't see her wearing something on her ear, and it must not have been lost.
When Hu Shi heard this, he suddenly remembered that maybe he had forgotten to wear it when he took off the shower the night before, and the things should be in her room properly. Thinking of this, she was no longer in a hurry to find something, and hurried back to the pond.
But who knew that he ran into a nightingale head-on.
The nightingale said, the third master is thirsty, let me go and get him water to drink. I listened to it and lectured her, how can I let the third master stay alone by the pond, what should I do if I fall down?"
"There was something wrong with the nightingale's expression at that time, how to say it, some of it was too calm, and she didn't say a word. I thought it was a little strange, but I thought she was upset and I reprimanded her, so I didn't think much of it. When we rushed back, we happened to see the eldest lady coming over with Dongmei and Xia Zhu. ”
When I saw this, I quickened my pace, but the nightingale suddenly grabbed me and told me to wait a minute. I stopped to ask her, but she didn't speak, just looked straight at the eldest lady. When I look back again, I see that the eldest lady seems to have finished talking to the third master, and is about to leave, at this time, the third master, the third master!"
Qin E straightened up, "How is he?"
He suddenly bent over and clutched his stomach, and then the man shook twice and stepped back. Then the soles of my feet slipped and I fell into the water!"
"That means that Qin Yu fell into the water by himself, and it wasn't pushed by my mother at all, right?"
"Yes, I can see it clearly, it was indeed the third master who fell by himself. When the third master stepped back, the eldest lady closest to him found out and reached out to pull him, but he was a step too late and didn't pull him. Hu didn't dare to look at Qin E, "We weren't far from the pond at the time, but I ran there, and I didn't even see a splash in the pond, and the third master seemed to sink directly to the bottom." ”
"At this time, the nightingale suddenly shouted, the eldest lady has killed someone, and the eldest lady has pushed the third master into the water!" Hu Shi's face was frightened, "Chunlan and Xia Zhu stepped forward to pull her, but the nightingale was like crazy, and they couldn't hold it." I don't know why she shouted that, but I instinctively knew that something was wrong. ”
Because the nightingale's voice was too loud, many people soon came and fished out the third master, and the imperial doctor also came. But I knew at a glance that the third master was already out of breath. The nightingale cried with the corpse of the third master, and no one was allowed to touch it, and shouted that it was the eldest lady who killed the third master. The eldest lady turned pale and asked the nightingale why she had slandered her, but the nightingale was crying so hard that she was sure that she had done it. The people around him were so chilling that no one dared to speak. It wasn't until Aunt Fang and the Third Lady rushed over that the nightingale stopped. ”
Later, Aunt Fang fainted from crying, and the third lady commanded someone to send the third master's body back to the courtyard. I took advantage of no one's attention and quietly asked Nightingale why I framed the eldest lady. But the nightingale said, "......"
"Say what?"
Hu Shi shuddered for a moment and glanced at Qin E, "She said that do you want to tell the eldest master and Aunt Fang that the third master fell into the water because you and I were not careful?"
She also said that as long as we bite the third master who was killed by the eldest lady, the master and Aunt Fang will not be angry with us. And Aunt Fang hates the eldest lady the most, anyway, the third master is gone, so it is better to take the opportunity to help the aunt bring down the eldest lady, and she may be able to make up for it in the future. If we tell the truth, it will be both of us who will die then. ”
Qin E looked at her coldly, "Did you listen to her?"
"I was so scared that I wanted to save my life. ”
"Then why did you run away, and why did the nightingale kill herself?"
"That night, Aunt Fang wanted to have a miscarriage, and everyone was busy saving her. The nightingale and I kept a vigil for the third master, and in the middle of the night, the nightingale suddenly left quietly. I was afraid that she would do something again, so I betrayed me, so I followed her. I followed her to a corner outside the courtyard, where I could faintly hear her arguing. ”
"With whom, what did you say?"
"I don't know who she was talking to, the place was empty, I was afraid of being discovered, so I hid far away and couldn't see anything clearly. I heard the nightingale shouting, "If you don't keep your promise, I will tell the truth, and everyone will die together." Then I heard footsteps and walked back, and hurriedly trotted back to the yard, pretending not to know anything. I thought the nightingale would come back to continue the vigil, but I waited a long time and didn't see her. I mustered up the courage to go and look in her room, and found that she had hanged herself in the room!"
"She went out to see someone once, and when she came back, she died, and who knows if it will be my turn next. and Aunt Fang, the third master drowned, with her temperament, she will never let me go. I don't dare to stay any longer. I know that there is a place in the west corner of the house where some bricks have collapsed, and I haven't found workers to repair them. So I went back to the house and got some soft, and while there was a mess in the house, no one cared about me, so I quietly ran over the wall. Afterwards, I defected to a cousin and fled all the way to Gangnam, where I have lived ever since. ”
Hu Shi kowtowed again and again, "Miss, the old slave has all explained, everything is true, you can spare me." ”
Eleven stepped forward and picked him up and took him out.
Qin E listened to Hu's shout, and only felt cold in her heart.
At this point, except for the deceased mother, Chunlan and Nightingale, everyone else at the scene at the time had already told what they had seen and heard.
Now she can prove to her father and the old lady that her mother was wronged. But she couldn't do that yet, she wanted to catch the murderer behind the scenes, catch the person who really killed her mother.
Everything was focused on the nightingale, who had hanged himself.
Wen Chang said: "I'll send someone to check on this maid named Nightingale." ”
Qin E nodded, if she wanted to find Nightingale's family, it was impossible to do it by her alone, and she had to borrow the power of the Qilin Gate.
Pebbles, water lotus, nightingale, as long as she follows these three clues, she believes that the truth will be found out in time. Then she can sacrifice her mother with the blood of her enemies to comfort her mother's wronged soul.
