Chapter Seventy-Eight: Throwing into the Well
Lu Qinghuan has been observing the Lin family, and when the Lin family heard that Lu Yuge was just hit by the sleep grass, his face showed surprise, and then he apologized for wronging Lu Qinghuan, with a sincere and innocent expression, as if she really lost her mind because of Lu Yuge's accident, so she would do something against the rosary and do something to accuse Lu Qinghuan.
The first reaction of the brain is the most real person, and no matter how much a person pretends to be, he cannot escape the first reaction of the brain.
From Lin's first reaction, what Lu Qinghuan felt was not surprise, but resentment.
Lu Qinghuan decided to test the Lin family.
"There is one thing, Pei Yushi may not have said it......" Lu Qinghuan bit his lip flap and said to the Lin family with a regretful face: "Helan also detected another poison from Ge'er, this poison itself is also non-toxic, but it is mixed with the sleeping grass, and it will produce highly toxic ......"
"How-how?" Lu Jinyan and Lin's faces suddenly changed greatly.
Lin, who has always been calm and self-controlled, her breath was a little unstable, and she subconsciously didn't want to believe Lu Qinghuan, so she hurriedly asked Pei Yuan: "Is what she said true?" ”
Of course it was fake, but Pei Yuan nodded very cooperatively and did not deny it.
Lin's peace could no longer be maintained, her overlapping hands were clenching handkerchiefs stiffly, the green tendons on her forehead were slightly raised, she looked at Lu Jinyan, and cried in a panic: "What should I do?" What to do? My song ......"
Lu Qinghuan glanced at Pei Yuan, and the two exited the room.
The two didn't leave, just stood under the porch, quietly watching the sunset gradually sinking in the west, listening to the sound of firecrackers and the sound of children frolicking outside from time to time, with relaxed expressions.
Lu Qinghuan has never experienced the feeling of family reunion since she was a child, until she met Ah Li, and every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, the two of them stayed together, which made her feel that she had a home and a family. It's just that now that it's in the Zhou Dynasty, these so-called family members of hers treat her so kindly, I don't know what kind of situation Ah Li is in......
Lu Qinghuan looked at the dead grass covered by snow in the gap of the green tiles, and his heart ached inexplicably.
Just when Lu Qinghuan felt that her cheeks were a little wooden by the cold wind, suddenly her shoulders were heavy, and a burst of warmth instantly wrapped her. Lu Qinghuan turned his head, looked at Pei Yuan in surprise, and said after a long time: "Thank you." ”
Pei Yuanqi smiled, curled his slender index finger like a jade tube, and gently scraped the tip of Lu Qinghuan's nose: "If you thank me, why don't you repay me?" ”
"Ahem...... cough cough ......" Lu Qinghuan was really frightened by Pei Yuan's words, and looked at him with round eyes, until he was sure that his face was full of narrow smiles, and then he was sure that he was just playing tricks on himself.
Seeing her like this, Pei Yuan's smile flashed with a hint of sourness, and then he pretended to be aggrieved and said, "Am I so bad in your eyes?" According to the scene in the book, shouldn't you have agreed with a shy face? ”
Lu Qinghuan rolled his eyes, are you sure this guy wasn't sent by the monkey to be funny?
"I didn't expect Pei Yushi, who doesn't eat fireworks in the world, to have a habit of reading books?"
"Uh......" Pei Yuan finally knew what it meant to lift a stone and hit himself in the foot, but he just wanted to make her happy, but he didn't expect to be teased by her!
The sad love just now was dispersed by Pei Yuan, and the two were talking and laughing, when a guard came to report that he was looking for the maid. It's just that she's dead.
Pei Yuan and Lu Qinghuan glanced at each other, and the two immediately got up and went to the place where the maid was found.
It was a deserted garden in Lufu, which was locked on weekdays and not allowed to enter.
When the two arrived in the garden, the maid had been salvaged, and was placed on the snow-swept ground, because it had been soaked in water, so it was so swollen that it was impossible to distinguish its original appearance, and it was only guessed that she was the maid suspected of poisoning according to the clothes on her body.
Pei Yuan checked that the maid did not have any external injuries, and based on the pupil reaction and the bulging abdomen, it was initially speculated that she should have drowned.
"What do you think?" Seeing that Lu Qinghuan was silent, Pei Yuan wanted to ask her opinion and divert her attention.
Lu Qinghuan shook her head, she didn't have any thoughts now, she just wanted to beat the culprit.
This maidservant has no grievances with her, and she cannot be wronged. If you hate Lu Yuge, it shouldn't be the sleep grass that poisoned her, in this way, it is obvious that she was instructed by someone, and the purpose is just to blame the rosary and frame her. But it is precisely because of the selfishness of the instigator behind him that an innocent life was wasted, which is abominable!
Pei Yuan instructed someone to invite Helan over, no matter whether this maid was thrown into the well or not, she had to check it before she knew the result.
Perhaps, what other clues can be found.
The two waited for Helan Xuanyi's arrival in the courtyard.
Because this courtyard has been in disrepair for a long time, and no one has been in or out for a long time, it looks extremely old and decayed. Only a few red plums in the courtyard are still in full swing despite the snow.
Lu Qinghuan didn't like red plums before, because she felt that plum blossoms should be light, elegant eyes, and red was too vulgar. But I don't know why, now standing in this barren courtyard, Lu Qinghuan felt for the first time that the gorgeous red plum was so beautiful.
She plucked a red plum and put it in the palm of her hand, the flower was red and white, the breeze swept away, and the petals and snow flew all over the sky, lining her like a flower fairy elf.
Pei Yuan subconsciously approached her, picked up the plum blossom from her palm, pinned it to her ear, and said softly: "I regret it......"
"Regret what?" Lu Qinghuan was feeling itching in his ears and wanted to pluck the flower, but when he heard Pei Yuan's headless words, he asked him strangely.
Pei Yuan shook his head, not wanting to say more, but it happened that Helan Xuanyi came over, so he quickly turned around and talked to Helan about the case.
After Helan roughly examined the maid's body, he confirmed that the time of death was not long, and it was about two hours ago, because the weather was cold, and the corpse spots were not fully visible, so he sent someone to bring a bucket of hot vinegar.
After fumigating the corpse with hot vinegar for a while, some unusual marks immediately appeared on the maid's body.
After a specific examination, Helan Xuanyi came to the conclusion that the maid did drown, but there was a bruise on the back of her shoulder, which was obviously artificially guided, which proved that she did not voluntarily throw herself into the well, but was pushed down.
Obviously, this maid was killed!
Two hours ago, it was the time when Pei Yuan came to Lu Mansion.
That is to say, the instructive behind him saw Pei Yuan coming, and knew that this matter would be found out sooner or later, so he killed the servant girl who poisoned him in case he was exposed.
