033 Ghost Makeup (3)
There was a conspicuous wound at the second joint of her index finger, Feng Chuan gently took her hand and looked at it, the wound was red and swollen, and the peeling onion finger resolutely turned into a radish finger.
"You've been having a high fever these days, right?"
The maid nodded, worried, wondering if she was dying, and muttered quietly after a while: "If I can accompany the young lady, I am willing." β
Feng Chuan looked into the room, Xiao Ju's hands were still spread out on the quilt.
Feng Chuan suddenly asked where was the vase?
"The vase was broken, and Miss made me throw it away."
"Where's the loss?"
According to the place Xiao Ju said, Feng Chuan went to the yard and couldn't find any debris at all, in order not to startle the snake, she said that it was useless to take things, so she quietly went back to the maid's house.
"What did Lang Zhong say?"
Another little maid looked at Xiao Ju and said, "Lang Zhong said that he was frightened, his mind was restless, and his qi deficiency and stasis led him to have a high fever. β
"Did your young lady have a fever before she died?"
Xiao Ju was lying on the couch, and her eyes proved a qiΔreads;.
She nodded desperately, Miss had a fever that day, or Lang Zhong who was looking for herself, boiled medicine for Miss to take, thought that she would recover the next day, but who knew that Miss would ...... early the next morning
"Are you sure you left your vase in the yard?"
Xiao Ju nodded affirmatively, that day she cleaned up the vase fragments and let a few people throw them away, and the garbage in the house was placed in the corner of the yard on weekdays for people to come and take away, she thought for a while, "It should be taken away." β
Feng Chuan asked where the garbage was usually thrown on weekdays, and after Xiaoju finished speaking, she remembered it in her heart and began to look at the others.
The crooked crescent moon climbed into the sky, Feng Chuan had mixed feelings in his heart, maybe he was not happy to see Miss Qiao's family today! People are dressed in clothes, but they are strange when they die, helpless, helpless!
Aster brought a big bowl of milk, steaming, with sugar paste on the side, calling to drink it quickly, don't be cold. "Mother, you say, who can dress up as a ghost?"
Aster's hands trembled, and after looking up, she spat twice to the ground at an oblique forty-five degrees. "Phew! Phew! She complained that Feng Chuan asked about this bad thing.
Feng Chuan had long thought that his mother would react like this, but he still wanted to talk to her.
She slowly took a sip of milk, scooped a spoonful of sugar paste into it, and only took a big sip when she had a taste, and said: "When the young lady of the Qiao family died, she had a ghostly makeup, I just wondered, why did she kill herself like that, a girl with yellow flowers?" β
She put down the milk and fell into deep thought again.
Ghost makeup is not a way for people to see clearly, maybe Miss Qiao's face also has a secret that she doesn't want people to discover!
Aster reminded Feng Chuan with a word, and she suddenly thought that something was wrong with Miss Qiao's lips, yes, what her mother said was right, maybe there were other mysteries under the dress.
"Mother, you're amazing."
Aster didn't know what was happening, Feng Chuan's small mouth kissed Aster on the cheek a few times, and then went back to the house to rest, and went out early the next morning.
She went to Qiao's house, and with the consent of the master, she scrubbed the makeup on Miss Qiao's face, and Feng Chuan tilted his head to look carefully.
There was a wound above the eyebrows, which was not strict, the mouth was very red and swollen, and there were bruises under the eyes, but the others were ...... Feng Chuan suddenly swept to her ear, the tip of the ear was obviously broken, and the wound had scabbed.
No wonder they wear ghost makeup, as Niang said, makeup can cover up a qiΔ, these injuries may be evidence!
Feng Chuan returned to Xiao Ju's house and wanted to inquire, but he didn't want her to disappear.
"What about people?"
The maid on the side looked nervous, saying that she had disappeared from Xiaoju early, and her burden was gone.
Feng Chuan found Master Qiao, and it seemed that Xiao Ju was very suspicious.
"She's been serving Mengmeng for many years, you may be wrong." The old man is still arguing, he is merciful and does not want to wronged others.
Feng Chuan asked Master Qiao to find a way to find Xiao Ju's person, even if she didn't harm anyone, she must know what reads;.
The children of several families outside the village are playing and playing, and the people sent by Master Qiao are looking for them, and a few people keep complaining, Lin'an is so big, where to find a little hairy girl, it is better to go back and pay the errand, only to say that they can't find it.
One of them disagreed, waved his hand, "The lord is kind to us, we can't be ungrateful, if we really can't find it, let's look for it now." β
"Ah~"
-- Yes
A few people turned around, the children pointed to the grass pile and screamed, two girls cried, and several people went over and found the body.
One person found out and lost his voice: "Xiaoju"
They brought Xiao Ju's body home, and they could be regarded as having completed the task, "Master, we found Xiao Ju." β
As soon as the people let go, they retreated.
Feng Chuan's heart trembled when he saw Xiao Ju.
She's dead, is it ......
Master Qiao couldn't hold his breath, and said slowly to Feng Chuan on the side: "Did she commit suicide?" Could it be that she hurt Mengmeng? β
Feng Chuan didn't dare to decide, and his heart was full of questions.
She was still having a fever yesterday, but she disappeared in the middle of the night?
Where did she have the strength to go that far?
"Hey! What's going on? What do you minions do? I got a corpse back, I think our Qiao family is not bad enough, right? β
It was the second lady who spoke, she looked disgusted, didn't look at the corpse on the ground, took a few steps back, and comforted softly: "Master, stay away, lest I rush you!" β
Hearing the noise in the courtyard, Mrs. and the others came out of the back room, saw the corpses on the ground, and subconsciously retreated.
Madame took a look at it and realized that this was Xiao Ju.
She said a little, but she didn't dislike it, but why did a poor good girl die suddenly?
Qiao's family is like this, ma'am, kind and gentle; The second lady is bitter and mean; The mother is expensive by virtue of the son, and the second lady is not afraid of everything, and it is also good that the master will not blame lightly.
Master Qiao kept looking at Feng Chuan's face, Feng Chuan was stunned just now, and suddenly relieved himself and looked at Xiao Ju on the ground and sighed, her death was nothing more than two situations, one was to escape reality and commit suicide; The other is to be framed and cover up the truth.
"Shall I see first?"
The second lady looked at Feng Chuan and felt uncomfortable, but at this time she spoke, "What are you doing?" I've been here for two days, and I remind you not to touch anything at home. "Miao's aggressive appearance, the old man can see it clearly.
"I found it!" As soon as Master Qiao said a word, he asked the second lady to shut up, and then pretended to be gentle and graceful, "Don't be angry, the concubine is also considering the safety of Qiao's mansion, since the master found it, the concubine doesn't dare to talk much." β
It is normal for the women in these mansions to intrigue, and Feng Chuan slowly began to get used to no longer rolling his eyes, but just carefully examining the corpse and observing the clues on her body.
The autumn leaves gradually fall, and finally they are submerged by a grain of dust, buried in the lonely and cold autumn, and the fallen leaves return to their roots, and they will never have a lifetime of grievances
