Chapter 141: The Case of the Yang Mansion Maid (1)
Cui Yuanshuang followed behind Lu Qinghuan, supported by the maidservant, got out of the carriage, showed a disdainful look at Lu Qinghuan, and muttered in a low voice: "I haven't seen the earthly buns in the world, and I'm just going out as a guest, so what are you doing in a hurry?" ”
Lu Qinghuan swept his eyes coldly, did not speak, and led Yingge towards Yang Bijun, who was standing at the foot of the door to greet him.
"You...... You're finally here! Yang Bijun glanced at Lu Qinghuan, turned her eyes, greeted the lady of the Cui family, and walked towards the mansion together, talking with Cui Yuanrong, obviously the two had a good relationship.
Cui Yuanrong has a soft temperament, and she talks to anyone with a smile on her face, which makes people feel close, only to hear her ask Yang Bijun softly: "I heard that your aunt beat you?" Are you okay? ”
Yang Bijun glanced back at Lu Qinghuan, a trace of embarrassment flashed in her dark eyes, and she approached Cui Yuanrong and whispered: "It's a board, if it weren't for my brother to stop me, I'm afraid I won't be able to walk the road!" ”
"Yike...... Then don't make the second lady angry next time! A hint of worry flashed in Cui Yuanrong's eyes.
Yang Bijun nodded and shook Cui Yuanrong's hand: "It's still Yuanrong who is the best for me!" ”
The two chatted for a while, and Yang Bijun was worried about asking Lu Qinghuan about it, so she found an excuse to let the maids lead the ladies of the Cui family to the banquet, but she was one step behind and gave Lu Qinghuan a look.
Lu Qinghuan walked at the back, walking slowly with Yingge, and saw that Yang Bijun finally got out, so he said, "Let's go to the place of the incident first." ”
"Okay, you come with me." Yang Bijun led a maid and whispered.
Although the Yang family has three rooms. But the people are thin and do not have a thick foundation like the Cui family, so they are not separated. The three rooms are all living in a large house, which is then separated by a wall and divided into three smaller houses.
The mandarin duck was found in a deserted abandoned pond in the back garden of Yang's mansion, which was originally a fishing pond in the early years, but later the sister-in-law of the big house accidentally fell into the pond and drowned, so the pond gradually became deserted. If it weren't for the fact that two lazy subordinates happened to be chilling there, they wouldn't have found the body of the mandarin duck.
I heard that the mandarin ducks were white at that time. The swelling was terrible.
To get to the pool from here, you need to pass through the banquet garden. But Yang Bijun didn't want people to know about it, so he planned to lead Lu Qinghuan over quietly from the verandah.
When the two of them passed through the verandah, they quickly passed through the back garden with the help of trees. When I was going to go in the direction of the pool. Then I heard a voice behind me.
The voice was a little unfamiliar, and Lu Qinghuan didn't know it.
I only heard one of the slightly hoarse voices say, "Yo, isn't this the lame man in Cui Mansion?" ”
"Eighth sister, what are you talking about, Yuanxiang is not a cripple!" Another shrill voice laughed.
"What's that?"
"Cripple!"
"Haha......"
“……”
Lu Qinghuan frowned, although she was not familiar with Cui Yuanxiang, but in this situation, it was obvious that someone was bullying her! Do you want to go out and talk to her?
Remembering the words of the old lady. told her to always remember to maintain the reputation of the Cui family, if she knew that she watched Cui Yuanxiang being humiliated. But if she doesn't help, I don't know if she will be beaten again.
Thinking like this, Lu Qinghuan was about to go out, but Yang Bijun stretched out her hand to hold her, and she asked in a low voice, "What do you want to do?" ”
Lu Qinghuan frowned, and was about to explain, when the position of his heart suddenly hurt. The jade buckle that clings to her skin is as hot as a soldering iron at the moment, making her almost can't help but snort.
If it weren't for the fact that someone was talking outside the bushes at this moment, they would have been heard.
I only heard a voice from outside the bushes, with a light voice and a soft tone: "Ladies, the banquet in front of you has been prepared, you might as well go and sit down!" ”
This voice made Lu Qinghuan stand in place like a lightning strike.
Yang Bijun on the side couldn't help but feel a little strange, and stretched out his hand to shake it in front of her: "What's wrong with you?" ”
At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps outside, followed by the sound of walking farther and farther away.
The soft voice sounded again, and said to Cui Yuanxiang: "Cui Liuniang, you come with me." ”
The wooden round wheels on the grass, making a unique friction sound, gradually moving away, until it could no longer be heard, Lu Qinghuan felt that the pain in his chest was slightly relieved.
The scorching jade buckle also began to slowly cool down at this moment, restoring its normal temperature, as if the qiē just now was her hallucination.
"What's wrong with you? Are we still going? Seeing that Lu Qinghuan was abnormal, Yang Bijun was a little anxious.
"Go ahead." Lu Qinghuan let out a long breath, and together with Yang Bijun, walked towards the pool.
When they arrived at the pool, Lu Qinghuan stopped Yang Bijun and asked them to wait beside them, and approached the pool alone.
The weather in Chang'an is dry, and the continuous sunlight for more than half a month has made the pool much shallower, revealing a long stone staircase.
Lu Qinghuan slowly walked a few steps on the stone steps, carefully checked the situation around the pool, and found that this pool was very special, except for one stone step, the rest of the position was surrounded by high rocks, and there were dense trees hanging down on the rockery. Such terrain also means that if someone falls into the water, except for the stone steps, the rest of the position cannot go ashore.
Lu Qinghuan's eyes fell on the stone steps in front of him again, because no one has taken care of them all year round, this stone step is covered with moss, if you don't pay attention, it is very likely that your feet will slip and fall into the water.
She stood on the edge of the pool and carefully examined the moss on the stone steps, then sighed, stood up, returned to Yang Bijun's side, and said, "I still need to check the body of the deceased." ”
"You mean...... Autopsy? Yang Bijun opened her mouth, a little incredulous.
Rao is she bold, she just glanced at the corpse that day, and she didn't dare to take a second look, and she was so scared that she didn't even dare to sleep at night, Lu Qinghuan actually took the initiative to say that she wanted to see it......
Lu Qinghuan was a little irritable because of what happened before, so he frowned impatiently: "Is the corpse still there?" ”
"In ...... At! Yang Bijun nodded hurriedly.
After the mandarin duck's body was returned, Lu'er insisted that she was killed, and sent the body to Yizhuang for storage, and also used her savings to buy an ice coffin to keep it.
"If you want to see it, when you leave the Yang Mansion later, I'll find an excuse to take you there."
"Okay."
"Now...... What should we do? "The corpse can't be seen now, and there is no clue by the pool, Yang Bijun wants to know what Lu Qinghuan will do next.
Lu Qinghuan looked deep, staring faintly at the end of the stone steps, the turquoise pool water full of water hyacinths, glowing faintly in the sunlight at the moment, she said lightly: "Go to the mandarin duck's room and take a look." (To be continued.) )
