Mandarin duck is the maid of Yang Erlang, the concubine of the big house.

Although Yang Erlang is a concubine, because his sister-in-law died young, he has been fostered in the name of Mrs. Yang since he was a child, and he is similar to his son-in-law. It's just that this Yang Erlang is very unsuccessful, spending all day drinking, idle, and a typical gentleman.

His lady Tian is not a fuel-efficient lamp, jealous and spicy, narrow-minded, and the two often quarrel and make a big fuss.

This time, the mandarin duck died tragically for no reason, Tian said bluntly, and sent someone to invite the temple mage to come back and do the ritual, so he gave up, and Yang Erlang was just stunned when he heard the news of his death, and then continued to do his own thing, and continued to sing night and night.

Lu Qinghuan and Yang Bijun walked to the house where the big house was located, while listening to her count Erlang and Tian's family, it was nothing more than that these two people had no conscience, and they didn't have a good face for the servant girl on weekdays, but now that the mandarin duck is dead, he hasn't said a good word, which is really chilling.

Lu Qinghuan heard it in his ears and remembered it in his heart, and when he reached the range of the big house, Yang Bijun closed his mouth and didn't say anything more.

Also, people come and go here, and if you say something wrong, it will not be good if it reaches the ears of the eldest lady.

A few people didn't dare to alarm others, and quietly entered Yang Erlang's courtyard.

The Tian family entertained guests in the garden, Yang Erlang was not in the mansion as usual, and there were only a few subordinates in the courtyard at this time.

Seeing Yang Bijun leading people in, the people were a little strange, and one of the maidservants asked, "Did the fifth lady come to find Tian Niangzi?" ”

Yang Bijun shook her head, "Mandarin Duck's sister wants to come and clean up for her." We're going to go to the mandarin duck room. ”

"Ah, but the mandarin duck's room is now locked, and the key is with Tian Niangzi."

"Why do you have to lock it up?" Lu Qinghuan couldn't help but feel a little strange. And he asked the maidservant.

Although the maid didn't know Lu Qinghuan, when she saw her dressed, she knew that she was the lady of a big family, and she was brought by Yang Bijun, and her identity was naturally good, so she didn't dare to make a mistake, and replied 1510: "Tian Niangzi wants the maids to move in, but the maids are timid. Don't dare to go...... So Tian Niangzi let people lock it up, saying that it was not bad luck! ”

"Didn't you say you invited a mage? Why is it still unlucky? ”

Hearing Lu Qinghuan ask, the maid shook her head in embarrassment. It is not clear what it means to say.

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Lu Qinghuan didn't say anything, but just gave Yang Bijun a look, saying that he still wanted to take a look.

Yang Bijun waved her hand and asked the maid to leave. Then he said to the maid behind him, "Which room does your sister live in?" Do you know? ”

Only then did Lu Qinghuan know that the one who had been following Yang Bijun silently was the Lu'er she mentioned earlier. That is, she firmly believed that the mandarin duck was not a suicide, and asked Yang Bijun to help avenge her grievances.

It's no wonder that from the beginning of entering the Yang Mansion, Lu'er's eyes fell on him as if he were nothing, it turned out to be this reason.

Lu'er nodded and said to Lu Qinghuan: "Mrs. Lu, please come with the servant." ”

Yang Bijun and Yingge did not follow, but stayed in the courtyard. I'm worried that if Tian comes back suddenly, it's good to know.

This courtyard is a small triad. In addition to the main chamber, there are side compartments and transept rooms on both sides. Generally, the maid does not live in the master's yard when she is not on duty, but lives in the inverted room at the back, but because the mandarin duck has been serving Tian close to the Tian family, and she is a bed-warming maid, she lives in the ear room.

Lu'er led Lu Qinghuan to the outside of the room where the mandarin duck lived, glanced back at Lu Qinghuan, quickly lowered her head, and whispered, "Lu Niangzi, it's here." ”

This glance made Lu Qinghuan see her watery eyes, glowing red and bloodshot, obviously the death of her sister hit her very hard, but she has been holding back.

Lu Qinghuan nodded at her, walked to the door, glanced at the copper lock hanging on the door, and then pulled out a twisted gold wire eight-treasure hairpin from his head, poked the tip of the hairpin into the lock hole, and slowly fiddled a few times, "click", and the copper lock opened in response.

"Let's go inside." Lu Qinghuan took back the golden hairpin, put it back on his head, pushed open the door, and walked in.

Xu was because he had not lived in a few days, and as soon as he opened the door, Lu Qinghuan smelled a smell of dust coming to his face. She walked around the room, which had obviously been cleaned and showed no signs of it.

Rao is like this, Lu Qinghuan didn't dare to be careless, but still looked at it cautiously. Finally, on the table in the middle of the room, Lu Qinghuan found a clue.

The corner of the low table was stained with a dark brown stain, some of which looked like it had been left after blood had dried up. It's just that the table is relatively low, so if you don't squat down and look at it, you won't be able to see it at all.

Lu Qinghuan frowned and looked carefully for a long time, then stood up and paced a few steps in the room, and suddenly asked Lu'er: "Is there any scar on your sister's face?" ”

"Yes!" Lu'er had a surprise in her eyes, "How do you know?" Sister Ah has a long scratch on the right side of her face, pretending to say that she was scratched by a branch in the water when she fell into the water......"

Lu'er said this, obviously not believing the words of the pretend.

Lu Qinghuan nodded, stared at the bloodstain for a long time, and then said to Lu'er: "Let's go, you can go back." ”

"Don't you see it?"

"The room has been cleaned, I'm afraid there are no traces to be found, based on this bloodstain alone, I can't conclude that your sister was killed, wait until I see the corpse!"

Returning the same way seemed much quicker than when they had gone, and by the time they reached the place of the banquet again, the banquet was already halfway through.

said that it was a banquet, but in fact, it was just a group of little ladies dressed in flowers, competing for beauty.

Lu Qinghuan has always been indifferent to this kind of thing, and his eyes wandered through the crowd, trying to find the lady who was talking to the bushes before.

But today, Yang Mansion invited a lot of young ladies, and it was too difficult to find that person from dozens of people, after all, it was impossible for her to catch everyone and ask each other, was it Ah Li!

Lu Qinghuan subconsciously reached out to stroke the jade buckle on his chest, the jade buckle was not hot at the moment, does it prove that Ah Li is not among these people?

was in a daze, Yang Bijun pushed her and whispered: "You go with me quickly, in case my aunt asks, you will say that the two of us will go to my room to talk together, okay?" ”

Lu Qinghuan frowned, and before he could speak, a middle-aged female voice came from there, and a slightly plump woman came with a stern expression on her face: "Bijun, where have you been?" ”

"I ...... I was talking to Mrs. Lu in the room just now......"

"Nonsense! I asked you to go to your room just now, and you're not there at all. The middle-aged woman's eyes fell on Lu Qinghuan, and she stared slightly, revealing a polite smile: "You are the cousin of Cui Mansion, right?" What a peugeot girl! (To be continued.) )
