I looked at Liu Chunfang and said with a smile: "Madame just sent me to distribute pastries and fruits, why is my aunt so angry?" ”

Liu Chunfang glared at me and said, "You shouldn't have poisoned this pastry, right?" Just waiting for me to eat, waiting for me to die! I'm telling you, you'll always be just a maid, and you'll never be able to climb to the master! ”

"I didn't think about climbing the master, but some people started to be anxious first, they didn't understand anything, and they felt that they would be foolproof if they relied on the master, but they didn't know that the master didn't love her-"

"Shut up! Slut, I'll squeeze your tongue out right away! ”

Liu Chunfang grabbed the scissors on the table and rushed towards me, and the maids on the side shouted, "Auntie! Auntie, don't be impulsive! ”

I quickly hit her right wrist, the scissors fell to the ground, a maid quickly picked up the scissors, Liu Chunfang said angrily: "You dare to hit me!" ”

She raised her hand to slap me, but I grabbed my wrist again. "Auntie, women fight like cats fight, scratching, scratching, picking, the purpose is never to knock the other party down, but to make the other party leave in embarrassment. I don't want my aunt to be embarrassed, I don't want myself to be embarrassed, I don't want my wife to blame me, and I don't want my aunt to sue my lord. But I don't want to, it doesn't mean I'm afraid. ”

"Just wait! I'll tell you! ”

"Then I'll admit it to the master in advance."

I shook off her wrist and turned to leave, listening to her scolding behind my back without looking back. I'm not worried about what the lord will do to me, this is not a harem after all, a mischievous woman is not difficult to manage, the lord only loves the lady, I have always known this, only Liu Chunfang Tian shamelessly relied on the master, and regarded herself as the wife of the Changfu. Besides, I'm not wrong, my lord knows the righteousness, how can he punish me?

"Madam, when will the master come back?" I asked.

"I don't know, what's wrong?"

I grabbed the pastries on the table casually and said, "I had a conflict with Liu Chunfang just now, she took scissors to cut my tongue, I hit her wrist and knocked the scissors off, is this considered a beating of her?" ”

Madame groaned for a while and said, "Are you afraid that the master will blame you?" Don't worry, she did it first, and her fault is also her fault, and it has nothing to do with you. ”

"I want to admit to my lord first, I did do it."

"I understand, you don't have to worry, I will definitely protect you from punishment."

"Thank you, ma'am."

But no one expected that early the next morning, a maid from Liu Chunfang's side came to find Mrs. and said, "Madam, my aunt asked the slave to tell my wife, and my aunt ...... Bun in the oven! ”

Madame was stunned for a moment, and then said in a flat tone: "In this case, please tell her that I am here to congratulate her first." ”

The maid hurriedly ran out. I saw that Madame's body was trembling slightly, so I called softly, "Madame, drink some water." ”

Madame sighed and said, "I knew there would be such a day, but I didn't expect it to be so soon." The lord only married her back to the house last month, and she had offspring so soon, and this time Liu Chunfang will look down on me even more. ”

"The master won't let her bully Madame." Ah Yan said.

Madame was silent, and Ah Yan and I didn't know how to comfort Madame, but after a while, Madame stood up and said, "I'll go out for a walk, and you stay here." ”

"Madam......" Ah Yan was very worried and shouted. Chang Feng just turned around and said, "I'll be fine, I'm just going to relax." ”

Mrs. didn't eat anything at noon, and it was useless for me and Ah Yan to persuade her, so I pulled Mrs. and said, "Madam, Liu Chunfang is now the time to be proud, what she wants to see most is that Madame doesn't eat, drink or move, and she can only be on top when her body collapses, since Madame doesn't want her to occupy her place, why can't she eat well?" ”

"Yuxing, thank you, I know what you said, but I ...... I'm still uncomfortable. ”

"Madam, no matter how uncomfortable you are, you have to eat, Liu Chunfang can't wait for you to be uncomfortable, but Madame is uncomfortable, and we are also uncomfortable, since Madame really wants to treat us as your daughter, why can't you listen to your daughter."

Madame looked at me fixedly and said, "I have always been very grateful to you, Yuxing. ”

Then Mrs. began to eat, Ah Yan and I looked at each other and smiled, although I knew that my identity as a former killer made me destined to be withdrawn and ruthless, but I still knew how to repay the favor by Mrs. in Changfu's affirmation and love.

Having said that, the pastries made by Xuan Lin are really good, although they are red date cakes that I don't like very much, but I also know that the pastries he sent mainly to please Madame, not me, an inconspicuous little girl.

Madame has already said that Liu Chunfang must have sent someone to the palace to inform the lord of his happy event, and the lord will definitely rush back in the next few days, and sure enough, the lord hurried back the next day, but he still came to see Madame first.

"How are you doing lately?" The old man asked.

"Very good, you go and see Liu Chunfang."

"There's no hurry, it's not like I'm going to give birth."

"Is there a lot going on in the palace?"

"It's still busy." The old man raised his head, looked at me and Ah Yan, and said, "I'll give you a day off, you can go wherever you want, and come back in the evening." ”

Then the master gave me and Ah Yan two taels of silver, and Ah Yan and I went out happily.

"It seems that the master is really happy, he actually let us go wherever we want, this kind of treatment, other mansions will never have." Ah Yan said.

"After all, the old man is not young, and he finally has an heir, who will be unhappy?"

"Hey, where are you going?"

"I don't know, with so much silver, I'll go to the restaurant for dinner at noon."

"I want to go home and see, I don't know if my mother is okay."

"Then you have to be careful, go and come back quickly."

"Thank you Yuxing, I will!"

Watching Ah Yan's happy back disappear from view, I sighed. Ah Yan was originally a girl from a poor family, her father abandoned her sick mother, leaving her alone to take care of her mother, but fortunately, her wife saved her, spent money to cure her mother's illness, and allowed her to go back to visit twice a month.

As for me, in fact, there is nowhere to go, and I am still willing to wander in different places and watch the world go by.

I entered the restaurant, asked the shopkeeper for a small cup of plum wine, a few small stir-fries, and followed Xiao Er to the second floor.

There are usually a lot of people in this restaurant, only the last private room at the end of the corridor is empty today, and Xiao Er took me to this room and left.

After a while, Xiao Er brought the food up, I opened the green plum wine, and a fragrance came to my face, which made me feel good, and after eating and drinking for a while, I found that there was no sound in the compartment.

Before Xiao Er was served, I heard the voices of several big men in the cubicle, talking fiercely, but now the cubicle was quiet and abruptly stopped, not like he was leaving, but like ......

This familiar feeling makes me a little flustered, if something really happens next to me, I don't think I can escape the involvement, not to mention that the current head catcher is silent.

I ate and drank to my heart's content, glancing at the large screen beside me. There was a gurgling of blood flowing through the screen, from below.

I stood up abruptly, subconsciously trying to flee from this place, but I heard the screams of Xiao Er in the corridor outside: "Murder!" No one is allowed to leave! ”

Generally, if something happens in a restaurant, the guests present are not allowed to leave, after all, it is also very troublesome for the yamen to investigate. It's just that I didn't expect that I was the one who killed people before, but today I have become an "audience".

I sat in the cubicle and continued to drink plum wine, the blood stains on one side slowly coagulated, and when the blood stains turned black, the noise outside the door began to rise again.

"Did you see anyone?" The voice of silence.

"No, we keep the door closed, and we don't know who came up and who left."

I listened to him ask one by one, stood up, opened the door, and leaned against the frame to look at him. Soon, he saw me, hesitated, and asked the men. I'm sure no one here will know who killed someone, and with so many people in the capital, maybe they don't even know who was killed.

I walked to the door of the cubicle and looked inside. The two catchers were checking on the murderer, and when they turned their heads to see me at the door, one of them shouted angrily, "Go away!" I snorted coldly and walked away. It is clear that the murderer has escaped, and the deceased is alone in the compartment. I had just taken a quick look at it, and the deceased had a hideous face, as if he had scuffled with someone, and there was a fatal knife wound in the chest, and the knife was still standing on the deceased's chest, with a small pattern on it, and a few slender black lines, outlining a blooming lotus flower.

I'm all too familiar with that pattern.

However, judging from the method alone, the level of this killer is not very exquisite, and the real killer will not give the victim any chance to resist at all, let alone experience a fierce quarrel before making a move.

After asking those people, Xuan Lin walked to my last room, looked at me, and asked, "What a coincidence, why are you not in Changfu?" ”

"Master Chang rewarded us with silver today, and let us take a day off, why, don't you allow people to rest?"

Xuan Xiao tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "You are the maid of Changfu, and you have nothing to do with me." You're closest to the murder, have you noticed anything out of the ordinary? ”

"I've been drinking here and don't know anything. You should ask the shopkeeper and the second child more. ”

"Of course I'll ask them, but you should be the one who knows best about the conversation between the murderer and the deceased, and you didn't hear anything?"

"They quarreled, but I didn't pay attention to what was said."

"Since it's a quarrel, it's impossible for those two people to be quiet, you're in the compartment, only separated by a screen, you're alone here, and you don't have a companion to talk to you, how could you not hear what they said?"

"According to what you say, then I don't even have the right to think about things alone."

"I didn't mean that, I just want you to cooperate with us to find out the murderer."

"I cooperated, and you don't believe it," I said, clasping my hands on my chest, giving him a blank look, "That's it, the head catcher has the right to suspect civilians, how dare I speak." ”

Everyone looked over and stared at Xuan Lonely. Xuan Silent smiled stiffly and said, "I didn't doubt you. Since you don't know, forget it. Thank you for your cooperation. ”

I scoffed and asked, "Can I go, then, Xuan Zhutou?" ”

"Yes, yes," Xuan Xiao said in a low voice suddenly, "but I hope you don't show clues and show Madame your identity." ”

"I'm just a little girl, what identity can I have?"

Xuan Xiao smiled and said, "You can go." ”

I don't think Xuan Lin knows who I am, but I also don't think he will ever find out who I am. Especially in this case, the person who started it was someone from the Qinglian Society, and although I had never seen such a bad way of killing, he still escaped—maybe temporarily.
