At present, she is the most vulnerable to being used, and the person who brought her to Aunt Wu shows that she has ill intentions.

She sat up from the couch and called Huang Ying in: "Go and ask, who brought Sister Ying'er to Aunt Wu's room just now?" ”

Hua Zhengwei saw Huang Ying go out, so she tried to calm down her still frightened heart, and walked over and said: "I also heard Rouge just now say that he died after taking poisonous appendages, and this poisoned person is also clever, and there are appendages sold in pharmacies everywhere, and no one has ever been wary." Moreover, this attached piece is both poison and medicine, who has evidence to prove that Aunt Wu was not poisoned after eating it by mistake? ”

"Evidence is naturally needed." Shen Yan got up and went to the ground, "I just listened to the discussion of people over there, saying that after the maids returned to the room, they found that Mama Lin was the only one in the yard, and she had also touched the medicine jar. Moreover, the order to issue the monthly order in advance was given by her, so that all the maids in Qiutong Temple were empty, she was the eldest grandmother of the fourth room, and it was not unusual for her to have this ability, so she was completely suspected of murder.

"The relationship between the four wives and concubines is well known, and my fourth uncle dotes on this Wu family, whether it is the Chen family who instructed Mama Lin to kill someone, or Mama Lin voluntarily killed for the master, she has the motive to kill."

"So, this Mama Lin can already be determined to be the murderer?" Hua Zhengwei also frowned.

Shen Yan saw her stiff expression, and couldn't help but feel a little apologetic, after all, they had only been in Beijing for a day, and suddenly encountered this kind of thing, no one would be in a good mood. Although there have been maids and daughters-in-law in Washington, there are no concubines in the house, and there are no brothers and concubines, so most of them died of illness or natural causes.

What's more, they are still a little girl's family.

She mused, "At least that's what everyone thinks now. Moreover, there seems to be no other evidence to refute that the witness was not killed by her. ”

Although she privately felt that Chen or Mama Lin wanted to remove the obstacles, and there was no need to use such a stupid strategy as killing Wu's, she felt that it could not prove a person, and a person's habitual behavior would often be abnormal under the influence of a specific time and event, otherwise there would not be so many staggering things in the world.

Hua Zhengwei nodded and fell silent.

Because of this incident all of a sudden, Fu Niang went to inquire about the third room and couldn't keep inquiring, because everyone's attention was on Qiutong Temple. Shen Yan didn't pay too much attention to it, after all, these things are the best to inquire about now, but if you can't inquire about them, there will always be a chance to inquire about them later.

And although the Liu family did not let people enter the palace to send a message to Shen Xuan, there were still other people who sent letters to the masters of each family from other channels.

When Mrs. Shen received the news, she was invited by the queen to visit the garden in the imperial garden, for the Shen family, the harem concubines, including the queen mother, are respected, the century-old family has a deep heritage, and the Ministry of Rites is in charge of the formulation of various rites and participates in the issuance of holy decrees and laws, for civil officials, this is a very decent and very close to the emperor.

When Mrs. Shen and the Empress returned to the Cining Palace where the Queen Mother was located, their faces were more solemn than when they went, and Su'e revealed the news of Aunt Wu's murder to her, she was silent and said, "Got it." ”

As soon as the palace banquet dispersed at noon, Mrs. Shen sent Qiu Xi and Su'e to come back first to pass the word, asking the Ji and Liu families to wrap Aunt Wu's body for the time being, and ordered the housekeeper Lin Deyong to go to the street to buy a fir coffin.

In each room, they waited for Mrs. Shen and the others to return.

After lunch, Liu said that he had a headache, and said goodbye to Ji and went back to the room.

As soon as she entered the door, she dragged Linlang to ask, "Where are the things?" ”

Linlang took down a heavy rosewood box from the top of the bed to see the square: "Here!" ”

Liu Shi clenched his hands, his chest rose and fell rapidly, and said, "Pry the lock open!" ”

Linlang turned around and took out a hinge scissor from the needlework basket on the desk, inserted it into the gap of the lock plate in the box, and pried it off along with the lock plate and copper lock.

When they opened the lid, they were amazed by the dazzling array of head jewelry.

"It seems that the Wu family hasn't collected family wealth from the fourth master over the years, and this box is at least two thousand taels!" Linlang grabbed a handful of red gold hairpin rings and said excitedly.

Liu slapped her hand away, and stared at her with a sinking face: "There are only jewelry here, why don't you have a silver ticket?" ”

Linlang realized the problem and hurriedly rummaged through the box. But rummaging around, there are still only jewelry, not half a silver ticket.

"Without a silver ticket, how much can these jewels cost?" Liu frowned and stood up, he didn't expect that the Wu family would know that they were hiding separately and fighting for two thousand taels of jewelry, the price was too great!

Linlang looked at her and said, "Why don't you go back and take a look at grandma later?" ”

"You think Akito-in is mine?!" Liu didn't rush to her angrily. From the day before yesterday to now, she has little patience with her. She and Pang Zi are both raccoon dogs, and they will not die well in the future!

She turned her head suddenly, slammed the lid of the jewelry box shut, and said in a deep voice: "These things can't be left, you send them back to Liu's Mansion immediately!" If you dare to be greedy for a thing, I want your life carefully! ”

Linlang rarely saw her so ruthless, and couldn't help but be a little stunned, she picked up the box: "Got it." ”

"Wait!"

Liu stood up: "Just go out like this, aren't you waiting to be caught?" As he spoke, he glared at her, took out a furoshiki from the cage, picked up a few old clothes, and then counted all the jewelry, poured it into the clothes, and handed it over to Linlang in the knot. Remember, go and come back quickly, and don't show a flaw. Then ask Ponzi to write me a receipt! ”

Linlang said again: "Got it!" ”

Liu watched her go around the rose at the entrance of the courtyard in the window, then sat down on the edge of the bed, pinched a pair of cold hands, suddenly stood up and closed the window door, and suddenly opened it all wide.

Shen Yan has not been out of the second room since he came out of Qiutong Courtyard. She is just a young lady in the house, there are so many people in charge of the family, it is not her turn to come forward to ask, and she is too lazy to look at Shen Ying's arrogant appearance.

Shen Ying's experience is certainly worthy of sympathy, but even if a person encounters a disaster, even if it is unfortunate, this misfortune is not something that everyone is obliged to share for you. She stretches out her hand for love, and not for not reaching out is duty.

But now she is not so much angry with Shen Ying's arrogance, but rather because of the sudden tragic death of the Wu family, she evokes the depression that witnessed the tragic death of Hua's in her previous life, she was Hua's in her previous life, and she is Aunt Wu in this life, she doesn't know how much dirt is hidden in this glamorous courtyard, and how many vicious hearts are hidden under the surface of this group of harmony?

She is not Guanyin Bodhisattva, and she can't love all sentient beings, but Fahrenheit's death is a knot in her heart, and she can't let history repeat itself in this life to learn the cause of Fahrenheit's death in her previous life, but she believes that Fahrenheit's death is not an accident.

Even if things change in this life, Hua will not die, but some of the root causes will not change, and there must be some hidden dangers in this huge Shen Mansion that she has not seen so far. There must be some people who are secretly hating Fahrenheit. Hua is the young grandmother in the house, she is not Aunt Wu, her life will not be threatened, and the reason why she came to the step of taking poison must have a huge driving force behind it.

"I just thought about it, it will take a lot of time to die of poisoning with the attached piece, if the murderer is really Mama Lin, why didn't she withdraw immediately after Aunt Wu was angry, but would sit in the yard? Qingdai said that Dr. Liao found out that Aunt Wu had been dead for a while when the maids saw Mama Lin, which showed that she had time to withdraw. ”

After eating at noon, Shen Yan led the Hua Zhengwei sisters to take a cool break in the open hall - such a big thing happened, no one had the heart to rest during the afternoon nap, Hua Zhengwei insisted on standing under the curtain and said.

Shen Yan leaned on the beauty couch and frowned: "If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have thought that someone else would come." ”

"Girl!"

As soon as the words fell, Qing Dai suddenly hurriedly walked in: "When the three girls and the maids checked Aunt Wu's relics just now, they found that Aunt Wu's big box of gold and silver jewelry was missing!" ”

"Missing jewelry?" Shen Yan was stunned.

Isn't it the Snitch coming, how did things turn out like this? It's the maid of Qiutong Temple.,Not long after the murder.,No one has the courage to steal it, right? Could it be that the murderer really kills for money?

"How much did you lose?" She asked.

"It is said that all of them are Aunt Wu's private selfishness, and they are all good things privately given by the fourth master, a large box, I am afraid it is worth more than two thousand taels. Fortunately, Aunt Wu was cautious and did not put the silver ticket and jewelry in one place, so the silver ticket was still there. ”

Several people in the room looked at each other, three or five pieces were fine, one or two thousand taels, which was a bit beyond the scope of their speculation.

"Naturally, the jewelry box will be put away properly, how can it be lost? Could it be the maid in the courtyard? Hua Zhengqing stood up at this time.

"It's been checked, no." Qing Dai shook her head and said, "When the accident happened, all the maids received monthly money in the main room. Aunt Wu usually puts the jewelry box in the chest of drawers under the dressing table, because she often has to use it, and the silver ticket is not placed in it, so the chest of drawers is not locked, but the box is locked. The person who came was taken away with the box! ”

Shen Yan and the Hua sisters looked at each other, and their expressions became more and more solemn.

If it is determined that it is to seek money, Mama Lin's suspicion is obviously a little smaller, no matter how short of money she is, the means will not make her so frustrated, right?

She herself is in the fourth room, and most of the people below listen to her, as long as she uses more brains to set up a few bureaus on weekdays, it is not completely impossible to gradually get Aunt Wu's jewelry in her hands, so why kill people so ferociously?

"And what about what I asked you to inquire about?" She asked again, frowning.

"Got it." Qing Dai nodded: "The person who just let the third girl into Qiutong Courtyard is the golden spike next to the eldest grandmother." ”R1152
