The night was empty, silent.

After a long while, I heard Pei Yuan outside the window, in an undisguised pleasant tone, and said with a smile: "Qinghuan, could it be that you are jealous?" ”

Lu Qinghuan choked, and the resentment she was full of just now immediately turned into dust, her face was slightly hot, and she had an embarrassment of being seen through by others.

She groaned, secretly scolded herself for being unproductive, and said very unconvincingly: "I didn't ...... When did you see me jealous? ”

Pei Yuan laughed, knowing that she had a good face, and no longer teasing her, he said: "I have contacted several families before, although I am not a noble family, but I have outstanding character and a rich family background, I don't care about raising a few more children, what do you think?" ”

When Lu Qinghuan saw him mention the matter, the embarrassment just now disappeared immediately, and after a little groaning, he knew that Pei Yuan had indeed planned very carefully. She nodded and said, "Your choice must be good, I don't worry." ”

Pei Yuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Could it be that this is the legendary husband and wife?" ”

"your ......" Lu Qinghuan spat out, looking shy.

Two people are like all people in love, just a blooming flower, a weed or a cup of tea, a meal, a freshly cut new clothes, they can discuss for a long time without feeling bored.

When Lu Qinghuan's eyes were dyed with tiredness, she realized that she had already hung up in the middle of the night, she hid her face and yawned, and happened to touch the letter in her sleeve.

With a slight expression, Lu Qinghuan took out the letter and mentioned this matter to Pei Yuan a little bit through the window, wanting to ask his opinion.

"Qinghuan, do you want to find out the cause of your aunt's death?"

"Yes." Lu Qinghuan nodded lightly, although Cui's didn't have any feelings for her, but her body, after all, was Cui's blood and bones, since she knew that Cui's did not die of natural causes, she had to give her an explanation.

Pei Yuan got Lu Qinghuan's affirmative answer, so he whispered to her: "Don't worry, before you go to Chang'an." I'll definitely find out about this matter. ”

Pei Yuan has always been a man of action, and once he decided to investigate, he sent people to investigate everyone involved in Cui's death on the second day. Including the mother who delivered the baby and the doctor. At that time, the maids and servants who had served the Cui family, as long as they had appeared by Cui's side, even if they were no longer alive, they were all on the list of suspects.

Although Cui's got married that year, there was still pomp and circumstance. There are more than a dozen maidservants who followed her to marry into the Lu family, including four personal maids, and two grandmothers and nursing mothers.

It's just that after Cui's death, these maids were all sent out by Lu Jinyan, and only one nurse stayed in the house to take care of Lu Qinghuan. Later, when Lu Qinghuan was more than ten years old, the nurse died.

Pei Yuan soon found a maid who had served Cui's back then, named Youli, but Youli was not the person Cui's personal servant.

Despite this, Lu Qinghuan still decided to meet her. See if you can find any clues.

Pei Yuan led Lu Qinghuan and found a narrow courtyard, where Youli now lives and lives by washing people's clothes.

When she saw Lu Qinghuan and Pei Yuan, Youli was startled, especially when she saw Lu Qinghuan's face, she had a trace of excitement and joy on her face, and she was so nervous that she could barely speak.

"You...... Is it a little lady? Youli put down the unwashed clothes in her hand, stood up, and stared at Lu Qinghuan with her eyes. It's so similar! You and the lady are like one person! ”

"You're the young pear? A maid who serves my mother? Lu Qinghuan quietly looked at the young pear, she was dressed very plainly, although the clothes on her body were clean but had several patches, and her hands were red and swollen. The joints of the fingers are somewhat deformed, apparently caused by years of immersion in water.

I don't know why, Lu Qinghuan's heart was a little sour, she thought that since she came to this world, she had heard what an outstanding woman her aunt was, but who would have thought of it. Fifteen years later, will her maidservants live in poverty without food?

Seeing Lu Qinghuan, although Youli was happy, she also felt that Pei Yuan behind her seemed to be a little unusual, and she was a little nervous, and asked worriedly: "Little lady, ...... are you here?" ”

Lu Qinghuan stepped forward to hold the hand of the young pear, felt the slightly cool temperature of the wet hands, and smiled: "Don't be afraid, I just want to ask about my mother." ”

was suddenly held by Lu Qinghuan, Youli was a little shrunken and wanted to take it back, but in the end she held it back, let her hold it, a pair of slightly swollen eyes immediately turned red, and choked up: "Lady, if she sees the little lady, I'm afraid she can also be blind!" ”

"Young pear, you sue me, my aunt and her...... Did he die in childbirth? ”

Youli's expression suddenly froze, and she looked at Pei Yuan behind Lu Qinghuan, a little hesitant, as if she was scrupling about something.

Pei Yuan was so transparent, without waiting for Lu Qinghuan to say anything, he took the lead in saying to the two: "I'll go outside, just call me if you have something." ”

Lu Qinghuan also knew that he was here, but he was afraid that the young pear would not be able to let go, so he nodded and agreed, and pulled the young pear into the house.

Stopping Youli who was going to make tea, Lu Qinghuan didn't beat around the bush with her, and said directly: "I want to investigate the cause of A-Niang's death, Youli, if you know anything, can you sue me?" ”

Youli was slightly stunned, looking at Lu Qinghuan's face for a moment, she always thought of Lu Qinghuan as the Cui family back then in a trance.

Thinking of such a gentle woman, but the fragrance disappeared overnight, Youli couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If the lady knew that you could go around to investigate for her, she would be very happy, but since so many years have passed since this matter has passed, how can you investigate?" ”

"Young pear, whether you can find out or not, it's my business, you just need to sue me you know, or sue me who knows."

Seeing that Lu Qinghuan was so obsessed with this problem, Youli finally made up her mind, she gritted her teeth and said: "The lady is indeed not a difficult birth, but died of poison!" ”

"What?"

Lu Qinghuan didn't expect that this was really the case!

"When the lady liked to ride a horse and shoot arrows, her body was very strong, after giving birth to a little lady, she could also laugh and talk with the maids in the courtyard, and there was no sign of dystocia, who knew that on the evening of that day, it was reported that the lady was bleeding, and then she died without waiting for the child."

Xu is like this, once in Youli's heart, a hundred times around, but there is nowhere to tell, until Lu Qinghuan comes, she finally has a chance to speak, so without waiting for Lu Qinghuan to ask anything, Youli's words are like a flood breaking through the floodgates, pouring out-

The maid has never believed that the lady will bleed profusely, and even the mother who delivered the baby back then said that she has never seen a woman who gives birth more smoothly than the lady, which is enough to prove that the lady will not bleed at all. It was not long after drinking the bowl of tonic soup that the lady's lower body suddenly bled more than ......" (to be continued.) )
