Zuo Zhenmai walked into the Pinglan Garden, heard Xuan'er shout a few times and no one came out to answer, and knew that there was no one in this courtyard, since no one was relieved somehow, and boldly walked around the courtyard, he couldn't help but sigh that the courtyard was very well repaired, and the flowers and trees in the courtyard gave people a sense of comfort.

"Miss, shouldn't anyone go back?" Although there was no one in the yard, Xuan'er was always unsteady in her heart, and she always felt that there was a gloomy feeling in the yard, which made people shudder.

Zuo Zhen somehow sent a ghost messenger to push open a closed door and walked in, Xuan'er almost exclaimed when she saw it, and hurriedly followed.

"Miss, let's go back." Xuan'er whispered: "Isn't it okay if the county lord doesn't come in like this?" "It's not good to go into the house without the owner's permission and let people know.

Looking at a room of high-quality furniture and utensils, a little jealousy appeared in Zuo Zhen's heart, some things are only used in the palace, there are a lot of them in this room, and these things given by the emperor are not put away and treasured, but placed in the most conspicuous position in the house.

"Miss." The more Xuan'er thought about it, the more frightened she became, and urged again and again.

Zuo Zhen didn't stay any longer when she heard this, closed the door and took Xuan'er back to Moxiangzhai.

"Madam, the young lady went to Pinglan Yuan and just went back." Wang Ma asked people to pay attention to any movement on the side of Lan Yuan, and came to pay attention immediately.

"It's really breathless." Aunt Liu smiled meaningfully: "Let people keep an eye on Cairo in the past few days, I don't know if the young lady can afford it." ”

In the early morning, when the sky was just dawning, people began to clean up the day.

"Ah......h

"What's wrong!" The subordinates threw down their brooms and ran to the place where they screamed to see the excitement.

"Ma'am, something is wrong." Mother Wang woke up Aunt Liu and said.

"What's going on?" Aunt Liu freshened up unhurriedly.

"Xuan'er is dead." Wang Ma was taken aback when she learned the news, a big living person who was fine yesterday has become a corpse today, which is really a creation and a trick.

"Oh, where did you die?" Although Aunt Liu was also frightened, she had expected it, but she never expected it to be so soon.

"At the gate of the Orchid Garden." Wang Ma spit out these words, and her heart was half cold, and her body couldn't help but shiver.

"Go and see if they're up, sir?" Aunt Liu finished dressing up and ordered: "This matter is the young lady's head, and she should handle it herself, Xuan'er is her confidant." With a malicious smile on his face.

Mo Xiangzhai's subordinates came to report: "Young master, young lady, it's not good." ”

"What's the matter, yelling!" Hearing the call of the people outside the door, Ouyang Lin, who had not yet gotten up, was disturbed by a good dream, and his face was displeased.

"Something is wrong!" The next person said: "A female corpse was found outside the gate of Pinglan Garden, and it was identified as the maid Huan Xuan'er next to the young lady. ”

"What!" Not only Ouyang Lin was startled, but Zuo Zhen, who woke up, couldn't believe his ears, the two immediately got up and got dressed, washed up and hurried to the place where the incident happened.

Ping Lan Yuan had already surrounded the people, pointing at the corpses on the ground, and talking in a low voice.

"Isn't this the maid ring next to the young lady, why did she die here for no reason?"

"I talked to her yesterday, it's really impermanent."

"By the way, a few days ago, I also saw her hiding behind a rockery with a little girl ring in the house, muttering, I don't know what she was talking about."

"Yes, yes, I remember, Xuan'er asked me about some things about the county lord in my house." Yiyahuan let out a low breath.

"Yes, you asked me too." Someone chimed in.

"It can't be that she strayed into Pinglan Garden out of curiosity." There is speculation.

"Tsk, it's scared to death, not everyone can enter this Lanyuan." There was mockery in the words.

"A good person died in such an unknown way, and I don't know how the young lady will deal with this matter, after all, she is the most powerful personal ring by her side." Someone has something to say.

"Pinglan Yuan is a taboo in the house, and idlers don't dare to stay at the door for even a quarter of an hour, it's such a way to die, it's too strange." One can't help but wonder who did it.

"Fortunately, the death is not too scary, otherwise it would be impossible to see it."

"Really, there is no wound on the neck, how did the person die?" Someone looked at the corpse on the ground in amazement.

Aunt Liu and Ouyang Lin arrived at Pinglan Yuan at the same time, and sent people to let the two servants carry the body down first, and the three of them went to the main hall, where Ouyang Ye, who learned the news, was already waiting there.

Zuo Zhen looked worried, she sat there with her head bowed after seeing the ceremony, Xuan'er's death reminded her of those amazing rumors, and she shuddered when she thought of this, blaming herself for killing Xuan'er because of her curiosity, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red and hold back tears.

"Tell me what's going on?" Ouyang Ye looked at the three of them with a straight face.

Aunt Liu first glanced at Zuo's family, and when she saw that her expression was uncertain, she was secretly refreshed, and she immediately spoke: "Suddenly, the concubine also just knew that the person who died was the young lady's maid named Xuan'er, and the young lady knew something. Directly pointed the finger at Zuo Zhen.

Zuo Zhen was stunned when she heard this, and couldn't help but look at Liu's face, Liu's face usually didn't show a little surprise, which made people wonder, as if they had expected it.

Ouyang Ye's gaze turned to Zuo Zhen and motioned for her to explain.

"I, I don't know, how were you okay yesterday?" Zuo Zhen didn't dare to tell the truth for fear of displeasing the prime minister, after all, he went to Lanyuan to make sure that he was not right.

"Could it be that Xiao Yahuan was curious, and listened to some rumors in the house and secretly went to Pinglan Yuan to cause trouble, right?" Aunt Liu pointed to something, and her eyes swept to Zuo Zhen.

"Pinglan Yuan is not allowed to trespass into the house, and everyone knows about it." Ouyang Ye looked at Zuo Zhen with a slight gaze and said, "Forget it this time, the person is already dead, let people be buried well, if this happens, they will be expelled from the mansion." ”

Zuo Zhen was stunned when she heard this, she didn't expect the prime minister to deal with it like this, and she also warned her, and couldn't help but look up at Ouyang Ye, it was a human life, and it was also the most powerful henchman around her, why did she send it away hastily without even asking the reason.

Ouyang Lin is such a smart person, as soon as he heard this, he knew that his wife had fallen into a big disaster, and when he saw that his wife's expression was wrong, he hurriedly reached out and held her hand tightly, and stopped her from speaking with his eyes.

"The concubine thinks so too." Aunt Liu echoed softly, and glanced at Zuo Zhen sitting opposite with deep meaning, and her heart was happy.

When Zuo Zhen came into contact with Liu's meaningful eyes in a blink of an eye, her heart was nameless, this family sang and sang and didn't take her daughter-in-law seriously, although it was a girl ring who died, but it was also her Zuo's girl's ring, not anyone can be bullied, looking at Liu's expression as if she knew something, she couldn't let people see the joke, and it didn't take long to get out of the door to make a person's life, which was undoubtedly a big loss of her face, and it made people look down on the Zuo family.

The more Zuo Zhen thought about it, the more angry she became, ignoring Ouyang Lin's repeated stops, she stood up and looked at Ouyang Ye and asked, "Xuan'er is my personal maid who died in the mansion for no reason, don't you have to give my daughter-in-law an explanation?" That's a human life, a descendant of my left family. ”

Ouyang Lin never expected that Zuo Zhen would ignore his stop and confront his father, and the faint smile in the eyes of Aunt Liu, who was sitting opposite, showed something unusual, and she didn't say a word as if she was watching a good show, which made him feel something.

"What kind of confession do you want?" Ouyang Ye didn't expect that Zuo Zhen would be so ignorant of the general situation, and would question his father-in-law for a subordinate, and move out of the Zuo family to threaten him, it was just too presumptuous, what did he do with the Ouyang family!

"Xuan'er can't die, it's so unclear." Zuo Zhen looked at Ouyang Ye's sharp eyes, suddenly woke up, and secretly scolded herself for being impulsive, but what she said was like spilled water, how could she take it back, not to mention that she didn't think she had done anything wrong.

"Jen'er?" Ouyang Lin stepped forward and grabbed his wife and motioned with his eyes not to continue, he had already discovered that this matter was not just a matter of the death of a maid, it was very likely that other things would be involved in the future, and it was best to end this matter.

Where does Zuo Zhen care so much, she has no way to retreat, if she doesn't know it clearly, there will be rumors in the house that are unfavorable to her, how can she still support the face of the master of the house in the house.

"The daughter-in-law wants to know how Xuan'er died and who killed her." Zuo Zhen stared at Ouyang Ye fixedly, she couldn't show the slightest cowardice now, she couldn't be looked down upon, she didn't even care about the life and death of a subordinate, who else would do things for herself in the future.

"Hehe, what did the young lady say about this, it's obviously a very simple thing, if you reveal it, you have to find out why, is the young lady deliberately embarrassing the master?" Aunt Liu chuckled lightly, and the meaning of her words was obvious.

"What do you mean!" Zuo Zhen couldn't see the concubine showing off her power in front of her, as if she was the mistress of this mansion.

"What do you mean, don't you understand?" Aunt Liu put her mind at ease when she saw that Ouyang Ye didn't say anything to stop herself, obviously the old man wanted to use her mouth to wake up the daughter-in-law in front of her who was still relying on her identity as Miss Zuo's sister-in-law.

"Aunt Liu may as well say anything clearly." Ouyang Lin knew that Zuo Zhen would not give up if he didn't figure out the reason at this time, and there was also Liu's attitude as if he knew everything well, which made people wonder if there was another reason for this matter.

"It's not simple, just ask the young lady where she went yesterday." Aunt Liu directly led the question to Zuo Zhen herself.

Zuo Zhen's heart trembled after hearing this, and she instantly turned to look at the Liu family, could it be that the Liu family knew that this thought was even more uncalm.

"Zhen'er, where did you go yesterday?" Ouyang Lin could hear what Aunt Liu was referring to, and looked sideways at his wife.

Aunt Liu glanced at Zuo Zhen and saw that she didn't answer, so she said again: "Why didn't the young lady say it, if you go, you won't dare to admit it, not to mention that the young lady doesn't want to know the cause of Xuan'er's death?" ”

Zuo Zhen pursed her lips and stared at Aunt Liu without saying a word, and her eyes hated to shoot Liu into a sieve.

"Yo, what is the young lady doing looking at the concubine?" Aunt Liu said with a frightened look: "Since the young lady doesn't dare to say it, then the concubine will do it for her." ”

"The young lady rubbed with Xuan'er yesterday, the old man and the young master were not in the mansion, and they avoided the subordinates and went to Pinglan Garden." Aunt Liu has been paying attention to Zuo Zhen's expression, and she looks at it without revealing it.

"You've gone to Pinglan Garden!" Ouyang Lin was taken aback when he heard this, and he sighed in his heart when he remembered that Zuo Zhen had asked about him that night.

"I, I ......" Zuo Zhen didn't know whether she was so anxious that she couldn't speak, or she was so angry that she was speechless.

"Yahuan Xuan'er beside the young lady has spent a lot of effort to inquire about the county lord of Zunyi, and the people in the mansion have already issued a death order not to say anything about the county lord, let alone step into Pinglan Yuan without permission." Aunt Liu said unhurriedly: "These things were originally explained to the young lady by the concubine, but the young lady's movements were extremely fast, and she inquired clearly, and she knew that the young lady would not be able to go to Lanyuan, and she took a life in vain, but asked the master for a dispensable explanation, so I don't know what the young lady's intentions are?" ”

In a word, Zuo Zhen's face was as white as paper, it turned out that they all knew it, since they knew what it meant, whether they wanted to use this to give themselves a dismount and suppress the Zuo family, or did they have another purpose.

Aunt Liu smiled secretly when she saw Zuo Zhen's face change, and said: "Young lady, don't think about it, the old man has revealed this matter for the good of the young lady, if people know that the young lady has offended people by trespassing in the Orchid Garden, it will not be easy." This sounds like he is persuading Zuo Zhen to endure it if he can, why make everyone unhappy, but secretly he is mocking Zuo Zhen for not knowing the general situation and openly contradicting the elders, what kind of upbringing is this, once it is spread out that the Zuo family is disgraced, Zuo Zhen can no longer straighten his waist and sit firmly in the position of the young lady of the family.

"There is no one in the Lan Yuan at all!" Zuo Zhen is not a fool, how could he not hear the deep meaning of the Liu family, and he was so angry that he couldn't help but tell the 'truth'.

For a while, the hall was suddenly terrifyingly quiet, and only Zuo Zhen's panting sound was heard.

Ouyang Ye's face was slightly gloomy, Ouyang Lin really had a headache, what kind of crime did he suffer to marry such a brainless woman.

"Didn't the young lady want to know the reason for killing Xuan'er, anyone who trespassed into Pinglan Yuan had to die, this is the reason." Aunt Liu slowly told the truth, and there was a cold chill in her voice.

"You talk nonsense!" Zuo Zhenqing pointed at Aunt Liu excitedly and glared.

"The concubine is not untruthful." Aunt Liu looked at Zuo Zhen, who had lost her temper, and said: "The young lady should have heard of another maid who died outside Pinglan Yuan like Xuan'er, and she also died in the early morning of the second day, and there are no scars on her body that can cause death." Aunt Liu didn't want to scare Zuo Zhen, she was telling the truth, the main owner was still living in Pinglan Garden at that time, and she was not scared lightly at that time.

Zuo Zhen didn't believe it and said angrily: "It's nonsense, then why didn't I die!" ”

"Zhen'er!" Ouyang Lin said: "You calm down, but a girl ring is ......."

Before Ouyang Lin finished speaking, Aunt Liu interjected: "What is the identity of the young lady, Xuan'er's death is just a warning to the people in the house." The true meaning of the words is to let Zuo Zhen see clearly what her identity is, don't always rely on the support of the Zuo family, the Prime Minister has no way to rectify people.

Zuo Zhen looked at Ouyang Ye in disbelief, and when she arrived at her husband Ouyang Lin, her eyes finally fell on Aunt Liu, who looked taken for granted, and the information revealed in their eyes was so obvious, all of a sudden, their bodies seemed to be drained, and they fainted in front of their eyes and fainted the next moment.

"Zhen'er!" Fortunately, Ouyang Lin reacted quickly and caught his wife who had fallen.

"Okay, this matter is over, you can talk about the difference between the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Zuo Mansion after all." Ouyang Ye has always been very optimistic about this concubine of the Zuo family, this family affair was single-handedly done by the Zuo family, and if the daughter was really raised like this, it was too disappointing, so he turned around and left after putting down his words.

Aunt Liu couldn't sit and watch at this time, so she sent someone to ask for a doctor, after all, Zuo Zhen had just entered the door not long ago, and this was a mess for people to see and think that the prime minister was bullying her youth, and it was already three poles a day when she was busy.

"Hahaha." Aunt Liu almost burst into laughter in the room with the doors and windows closed, and said: "Didn't you see Zuo Zhen's angry appearance, you really relieved your hatred, let her oppress people as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zuo family's mansion, and suffer retribution, she deserves it, why didn't she be scared to death." ”

"Madam, what about Xuan'er?" Wang Ma had some doubts in her heart.

"Remember those two mute women?" Aunt Liu knew what Mother Wang was asking, so she took a sip of the teacup to relieve her hoarse voice before laughing.

"Isn't that dumb woman an old man in the house, what?" Homicide! Wang Ma was quite puzzled.

"I know why that cheap girl sent out all the subordinates in the Lan Garden, except for the two dumb women." Aunt Liu put down the teacup and recalled that time, she also had doubts but didn't take it to heart, but she couldn't hear people talk about it some time ago, and now that she thinks about it, it's really like that.

"What's wrong with those two dumb women?" Wang Ma said uncertainly.

"The two of them had received the favor of Lin Wanqiu's slut, and because they knew that there were too many things in the house, they were going to be disposed of, so the slut took pity on her and the two of them took good deeds, and took dumb medicine and followed the slut." Aunt Liu gritted her teeth with hatred.

Wang Ma understood now, it turned out that there was such a thing, she said that the county lord was not in the mansion, where did the people come from to kill Xuan'er.

In fact, no one knows that the two dumb women have another origin, the two of them were placed by Lin Wanqiu's side at the beginning of Mu Haoyu, in order to be afraid that her lover would suffer a loss in the prime minister's mansion, and she can't be by her side all the time, far from quenching her thirst, she can't often visit the courtier's house, which attracts people's attention, as for what Liu said is just made up to coax people, and the identity of the dumb woman is not clear even to Ouyang Ye, who is the prime minister, I just thought that Lin Wanqiu had a favor for the two and took it with him, only Lin Wanqiu knew that this was the guarantee given to him by his lover, After Xi Chao found out, he sent the two of them to his side to guard the entire Pinglan Garden, and also to deliver the news of the house.

The doctor arrived at Moxiangzhai to diagnose the pulse of Zuo Zhen, who had fainted, and after a while, he went to the side to prescribe a prescription.

"The young lady is overly frightened and unstable, so I prescribe a few pairs of soothing decoctions to take three times a day." The doctor advised: "The young lady needs to recuperate, don't add to the sadness of joy and sorrow, and you can order some spices to help you sleep in the house at night." ”

Ouyang Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, he was really afraid that Zuo Zhen would have a chance and it would be difficult to explain to the Zuo family, and it was only a few days before the accident happened, which was really worrying.

sent the doctor to tell his subordinates to take care of Zuo Zhen, and he turned around and went to the study, and he was tired early in the morning, so he called his subordinates to set up a meal and used some simply.

Sitting in the study, Ouyang Lin couldn't help but wonder what would happen to Zuo Zhen when she woke up, it was really a headache, women were just troublesome and curious, she knew everything and had to hit the south wall, and she didn't want to think about where this was.

Hmph, the Liu family watched a good show, and the step by step pressure made Zuo Zhen lose his physique, it seems that the Liu family is still restless, and he has to find a way to make the Liu family stop a little, Ouyang Lin will not let the woman make the family restless and distracted, no matter how ignorant Zuo Zhen is, she is much stronger than the Liu family, at least everyone is from a background.

Zuo Zhen slept all day and woke up to recall what happened this morning, her face was pale, angry and aggrieved, tears came out of her eyes, the more she cried, the more aggrieved she became, how could she marry into such a family. I felt more and more pity for my life, and my heart was bitter.

Ouyang Lin entered the house and saw Zuo Zhen crying, so he hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him softly, and said a basket of good words to coax Zuo Zhen to smile again. I look down on Zuo Zhenlai more and more in my heart, such a woman is too wasteful.
