Chapter 16: Discovery

In the past, the pavilion was very lively, but now only Ping'er is following. First Dong'er left, then Cui'er committed suicide, and after being bedridden for a while, the original others were also sold to the house, this home, only the surrounding environment is familiar.

Others, whether it is people or things, are like seeing flowers in the fog, and they can't see through it even more clearly!

Ping'er tells her that after Cui'er died, the housekeeper sent someone to inform her family. Tell them that Cui'er was negligent in serving her master, causing the old lady to lose her grandson. Cui'er's father and eldest brother both came, they were honest farmers, and when they heard that, they were so frightened that they quickly knelt down to the old lady to plead guilty.

The old lady looked at them pitiful, and didn't blame anything more, and after asking Cui'er's father's meaning, she ordered to buy a thin coffin and bury Cui'er on the side of Xishan, and gave her father twenty taels of silver to send the person away.

Hearing this, Jin Yu sneered in her heart, a human life, twenty taels of silver, and a thin coffin will be done! It's no wonder that Cui'er's father is honest, this dynasty is indeed like this, the subordinates of the big families who do things, those who sign the death deed, and some of them are swept away by Zhang Lu and buried in the mass graves.

Like Cui'er, although she is dead for doing something wrong, she can still be buried in a thin coffin by the owner, which is already very good.

What's more, he first told Cui'er's father about the seriousness of what his daughter had done wrong, and he was also scared. Moreover, even if they were skeptical, they did not dare to do anything. Because, they are very good at accepting their fate, and they understand that they are in a lawsuit with a big family, and the eight-character yamen is open to the south, and there is no reason to come in if there is no money! Because they really can't help it, the family that sold their children can't afford to toss at all.

Jinyu closed her eyes again and told herself that she was calm and couldn't be disproportionate because she was in a hurry. Anything, as long as it is done for a reason, there are clues to check. At the moment, there is no rush either! You still have to rely on yourself for everything, and there is nowhere to talk to someone.

Sister Xuanzhou's temperament, it was useless to tell her to take care of it, but it made her worry plainly.

Seeing that the master didn't ask anything more, Ping'er didn't dare to say anything more. In her opinion, her own young lady is really pitiful, but what can she do, the lord and the wife have left Xuanzhou and gone to a far place, how can the young lady be angry?

Ping'er was also a little confused at this time, why wasn't Miss very emotional after learning of Cui'er's death? Don't you care, after all, she has been by her side for so many years. Or, because the young lady also lost the child in her womb, everyone resented it?

After an hour in the pavilion, Jinyu opened her eyes and got up, and walked back with the help of Ping'er. When he was halfway there, he asked Ping'er to accompany him to the utility room to have a look. In the utility room, as the name suggests, there are some miscellaneous items, and Ping'er can't help but shiver when she walks to the door.

And Jin Yu didn't pause, there were dozens of lives in her hands who died in her previous life, and she didn't feel anything when she saw too many dead people. Although he didn't kill anyone again in this dynasty, he still didn't feel much about the dead.

Obviously, the scene in the house has been sorted out a long time ago, and it is not already known, and it is impossible to see that someone was hanged here not long ago.

Jinyu knew that there was nothing to be found here, and stared at the beam, imagining what Cui'er would look like before she hanged herself. No matter what the reason for taking this path, she is unwilling! But when there is an opportunity, who will choose to die?

After a moment, Jin Yu slowly turned around and walked out of the utility room.

The spring flowers on the wall are blooming, but in this season of spring flowers and all things are reviving and vibrant, their dreams have become nightmares, and the newly conceived child has no chance to see the world at a glance.

But in spring, the branches are still red and willow green, as if these human tragedies have nothing to do with them at all.

Looking at Jinyu's sad look, Ping'er hesitated for a moment and whispered; "Madam, that night, Cui'er handed over a pair of embroidered shoes to the slave maid and asked her to hand them over to you, because the lady was not good at that time, and the doctor came, and the slave didn't think much about it, so she didn't ask her why she didn't give it herself, how could she think of it."

Embroidered shoes? Jinyu furrowed her brows, Cui'er did that to show that she already knew what was going on at that time, and she already had the heart to die. "Bring it to me." After returning to her room, Jinyu thought for a moment

Speak.

"Yes, the slave will go and get it." Ping'er hurried back to her room, and when she came back, she had something wrapped in brocade in her hand and carefully placed it in front of Jinyu.

Without waiting for Jinyu to reach out and open it, a girl walked in with tea, and when she put the teacup on the table, her eyes kept looking at the things on the table.

"This is the new arrival? The rules aren't very good. Jin Yu said coldly.

"The slave knows that she is wrong, the slave and the maid are new and so nervous, please forgive Mrs." The girl panicked, but her reaction was not slow, and she knelt in front of Jinyu and begged for mercy.

"The newcomer will not know why he was assigned to work in this courtyard, then I will tell you again, because, the people who were in this courtyard before were negligent and did not fulfill their duties, so they were all ordered to be sold by the old lady, and one was too self-blaming and hanged.

That's why you're here at this time. Knowing that this girl was an eyeliner, Jinyu didn't bother to pretend, and said coldly while unwrapping the satin, revealing a pair of beautifully embroidered shoes inside.

"The slave remembers." The girl replied in a somewhat out of tune.

"Then go down, Ping'er, remember to tell them that I drink tea and have always done it myself." Jinyu took the embroidered shoes in her hand and looked at them, and added another sentence.

Ping'er responded and signaled the girl to go out deliberately.

The girl kowtowed to Mrs. Xie for not punishing her, and when she looked up, she still looked at the things in Jinyu's hand with no giving up, and then she retreated in a panic. Of course, Jin Yu saw all of this.

Cui'er is best at making embroidered shoes, and she gives Jinyu a pair every year when the seasons change. Looking at the style of the shoes, it is obvious that they are for themselves to wear in the summer. However, did Cui'er really just want to leave a thought before she died, so she asked Ping'er to hand it over?

Jin Yu vaguely felt that it shouldn't be so simple, took the shoes into the bedroom, sat on the bed and fiddled, the things stuffed in the shoes were rags, which were to support the shape of the shoes. Could it be that there is something in the shoes? When she thought of it, she immediately took out all the crumbs in both shoes, and the result disappointed her, the crumbs were really just crumbs, there was not a word on them, and there were no clues.

A little irritable put down his shoes, and the person was tired and weak leaning on the head of the bed, kneading the bridge of his nose with his fingers, telling himself, calm! Calm!

After feeling that her mood had calmed down a little, Jinyu was about to get up and go outside for another walk, when her eyes swept over the shoes, and her eyes suddenly lit up. The upper is embroidered with butterfly flowers, and the patterns on the two shoes are symmetrical. The embroidered butterfly whisker on the right side of the shoe is different from the whisker on the left, it is shorter.

If you don't look closely, you can't see it at all, because the short one is just a difference of two or three stitches. Cui'er will not have such flaws in making shoes, she is a meticulous person. Jinyu looked more closely and realized the problem.

The short butterfly whiskers are not embroidered with a few stitches, but they have been embroidered and dismantled, and it is not that the eyes are very sharp and there is no obvious needle eye at all, which is evidence. Finding the clue, Jinyu put down the shoe on the left and looked intently at the one on the right.

Sure enough, she saw the doorway again, and the four sides of the shoe, that is, the position of the upper and the sole, showed that most of the shoe was only removed from the bottom line and then sewn. Jinyu suddenly felt that her spirit was much better and she had more strength, so she quickly got up and found the scissors in the sewing basket and disassembled the position of the upper and the sole.

Cui'er embroidered shoes are different from others, she is afraid that the line on the sole of the shoe will make Jinyu uncomfortable, and when she puts on the upper, she adds a soft and thin layer of cotton cloth to the cushion, which is the so-called insoles.

Of course, the insole is also embroidered, but it is made of thin silk threads, and you can't feel anything when you step on it. The secret of this shoe is between the insole and the sole, Jin Yu held her breath and pulled out a piece of paper folded into strips, and her heartbeat immediately accelerated, there is something, then there is really a conspiracy, not that she thinks too much......
