067 Drowning
The old lady couldn't help but get up, and with the support of Aunt Rong, several female relatives of the family went out of the garden together.
Li Bu said with a solemn expression: "It's Lian Xiang's girl who fell into the water, and when she was rescued, she was already out of breath." ”
"What? Lianxiang! When Zhu Yue followed, he was startled when he heard this.
Zhu Bi glanced at her and muttered coldly: "It's just a dead girl, what's so strange." ”
Fortunately, her voice was very small, and only Mrs. Guo could hear it.
Lian Xiang is a second-class girl rewarded by the old lady, and she disappeared early in the morning, and the maids in the courtyard all said that Lian Xiang quietly came to see Mingkang, but there was no shadow of Lian Xiang in the garden, Yi'an was originally strange and didn't take it seriously, but I didn't expect Lian Xiang to fall into the water and die! How could Lian Xiang die?
Aunt Rong was surprised, a good birthday banquet turned out to be dead, although she was a maidservant, it was somewhat unlucky.
The guests in the garden did not know what was happening outside, except that someone had fallen into the water, but they did not know that someone had died.
General Nangong talked casually with Zhu Wei and turned a deaf ear to the outside affairs.
Outside the garden, there was a lot of commotion.
Lian Xiang is dead?
The old lady was suspicious, okay, why did she die?
There has never been a drowning in the Pei Wangfu over the years.
The sky suddenly turned from sunny to cloudy, just like everyone's mood.
Some curious ladies followed them out of the garden, and when they heard this, they passed it on to those present in the garden.
For a while, everyone knew about the dead man, they couldn't sit still, they could walk, they stayed, and their attention was not on Zhu Dagongzi's birthday, but they were curious about the dead man.
The lotus pond in King Pei's Mansion has since cast a gloomy and terrifying shadow.
Some remained at the banquet, and some quietly followed to watch the excitement.
When the old lady rushed to the lotus pond accompanied by everyone, a group of maidservants had gathered together, and there was a wet water stain on the ground.
Mrs. Guo followed with an unkind face, how could Lian Xiang girl die so early, it was beyond her expectations.
She gave Aunt Wu a look, and Aunt Wu shook her head secretly, which she didn't know.
Mrs. Guo had no choice but to follow the old lady and act at the opportunity.
A group of people came to the front, and the onlookers hurriedly got out of the way.
Mingkang, who followed from behind, looked at it closely, and it turned out that Lian Xiang was the servant girl who saw the private token to Nangong Zhao behind the rockery! At this time, Lian Xiang had just been fished out of the water, her body was intact, but her face was pale, her eyes were wide open, and her face was hideous, as if she had been wronged by the world.
The old lady glanced at it, and her tone became very stern: "This, what's the matter?" ”
The girls who were watching were trembling and didn't dare to speak.
Zhu Yue gently called "Lian Xiang".
However, Lian Xiang's voice and smile are no longer there.
Lian Xiang went.
This is the first time she has seen the people around her leave her, separated by yin and yang, in her heart, there is no master and maid.
Looking at the pale and bloodied faces of the people on the ground, her tears couldn't help but flow.
Aunt Rong looked at Lian Xiang's tragic death, and she was also sad in her heart, so she helped Yi'an.
"Who saw Lian Xiang fall into the water first?" The old lady's heart was in a ball, Lian Xiang was her second-class girl, and she had only been allocated to Yi'an for less than two months, and she died in broad daylight, which clearly did not take her seriously.
The first thing she thought of was that Mrs. Guo was making trouble.
As he spoke, his eyes stared at Mrs. Guo, who took a step back.
She really wanted Lian Xiang to die, but she didn't expect to die so quickly!
Li Bu stepped forward and said, "Old lady, this girl saw it first." ”
The girl who was named was the wood-burning girl in the kitchen, the girl was suddenly called to the master, a moment of timidity, trembling walked forward, bowed her head and said: "Slave, I talked to Sister Lian Xiang in the first half of the morning, Lian Xiang said that she did something against her conscience, and her life may not be long, I also persuaded her to apologize for doing something wrong, and my sister will definitely live a long life, Lian Xiang immediately shook her head, and asked me if the bird's nest of the Pavilion Lord was stewed, and told me how good the relationship between the Pavilion Master and Mrs. Ding is, and Mrs. Ding will have a child soon, Anting lord asked her to send bird's nest to Mrs. Ding, and then Lian Xiang took it out, the slave saw her drop a handkerchief, so she wanted to take it out and return her, but she didn't find her, and thought she was walking fast, had gone to Huajiao Courtyard, who wanted to go half an hour later, came out to see if Lian Xiang would return to get the handkerchief, I saw a person floating in the pond from a distance, and hurriedly ran over to see, I saw, saw Lian Xiang face inward, soaked in water, motionless, the slave and maid were frightened, and they didn't know how to water, so they called the people nearby to rescue, but Lian Xiang has become like this. ”
"According to what this girl said, Lian Xiang did something wrong, was condemned by her conscience, and committed suicide." Mrs. Guo was anxious to clear up the relationship, stared at Lian Xiang with a dead look, and said lightly.
"What did this servant girl do wrong to kill herself?" The people on the side were talking.
"yes, what a big deal to pay for sin with death."
The old lady's face was solemn, and Lian Xiang on the ground looked like she had been soaked for half an hour, according to the words of this firewood girl, Lian Xiang went to Mrs. Ding with bird's nest soup, so Mrs. Ding may know a thing or two about this matter.
Zhu Yue leaned down and touched Lian Xiang's hand, his body was already cold.
She gently closed Lian Xiang's wide eyes, stared at her dead appearance, and said, "Old lady, Lian Xiang must not have committed suicide, Lian Xiang's eyes were open, and she was unjustly killed." ”
Everyone wondered, Zhu Xuan seemed weak, but he didn't have a corpse.
The girl who burned the wood just now also said boldly: "The slave maid heard Lian Xiang say that she would not live long, but the slave and maid listened to her tone and it was just a joke, Lian Xiang was very afraid of insects and chickens, how could she commit suicide by throwing herself into the lake?" ”
"Yes, Lian Xiang and the slaves get along well on weekdays, and she has never done anything out of proportion, even if she had, she would not die without saying a word." Yuuka glanced at the dead Lian Xiang sympathetically, and turned back to the old lady.
The woman who was watching the excitement next to her said: "It is also possible that she fell into the water and died, and there are such things." ”
Mrs. Guo said lightly: "Old lady, there is no evidence for this kind of thing, and the corpse is not clean here, so it is better to dispose of the corpse first and then make plans." ”
The old lady gave Li Bu a look and said, "The corpse of the dead is not clean, pull Yi'an up, bury Lian Xiang first, and give her ten taels of silver to pay tribute to Lao Tzu Niang." ”
But he didn't say whether he wanted to avenge Lian Xiang.
The maidservants on the side, Yuuka and Chongbi, pulled up their own girl.
Everyone watched as Steward Li arranged for the servant to wrap the body in a cloth and carry it away with a burden.
Although Lian Xiang came to the Beiling Courtyard for less than two months, she established a deep relationship with the girls, and a good big living person was suddenly gone, and the maids remembered her good days, and reluctantly watched her being pulled away.
Mrs. Guo said lightly: "Let me show you the joke today, a servant girl did something wrong, committed suicide in fear of sin, and disturbed Yaxing." ”
