"Who the hell is trying to kill her?"

The more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, Qiao Niannian didn't notice this problem before, probably because he was too cowardly before, and his previous self was not particularly smart, so he didn't pay attention to it. And after she crossed over here, she didn't think of this point. And just now, for some reason, she suddenly felt that there was another reason for her mother's death.

It may be because her current situation has changed, which makes her heart a little sensitive.

So, Qiao Niannian got up, walked to the door, and after opening the door, he saw a few maids standing and some small maids coming and going.

"Eh, come over here."

Seeing a more familiar maid, Qiao Niannian pointed at her, and then nodded at her. And the maid, when she saw Qiao Niannian shouting to herself, she first looked at the people around her and found that there was no one else in her direction except herself. So, she walked forward a little tremblingly, slowly approached Qiao Niannian, and then lowered her head.

"What instructions does Madame have?"

Because she learned from the people around Qiao Niannian that she likes to be called a lady, not a princess, so she followed her wishes and called her a princess.

And Qiao Niannian didn't reply to her immediately, but just walked towards the inner room.

The maid went in after her. And after entering, Qiao Niannian did not sit down, but stood on the side of the dresser, so the maid stood beside her, still with her head down, and her body was also a little trembling.

"What's your name?"

Qiao Niannian picked up a pearl on the table and played with it. The white color, coupled with a few rays of moonlight in the room, made this pearl very radiant and looked really valuable.

The maid thought that Qiao Niannian's face was only a little indifferent and cold, so she knelt down in fright. She swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "The slave maid is called Eryu, she was the maid when the lady was the eldest lady in the past, and after the lady left, she went to the second lady of Qiao's mansion to do things." But the cooking was all groceries, and it was not of much use, so now that the lady had returned, she was transferred over. ”

The corners of Qiao Niannian's mouth rose slightly, it seems that this maid is still smart. Knowing what questions she was going to ask, she simply said them all.

Although it was said in the past that when she was still the eldest lady of the Qiao family, none of these maids were good to her. Then the one in front of you is not an exception.

However, if she was from Liu's side, she would be able to use it.

Qiao Niannian took the pearl in his hand and turned it. And the person also turned to the second jade, and then bent down slightly and helped her up.

But this Eryu, how can she withstand this kind of behavior, and she thought that Qiao Niannian was remembering her previous hatred, and now she was going to repay it. So she thought about kneeling down again, but Qiao Niannian helped her, and when she still wanted to go down, she used a little strength.

The maid knew that Qiao Niannian really wanted her to get up, so she followed Qiao Niannian's meaning and got up. And that look in his eyes, he didn't dare to look at her.

"I know you used to serve me, but before me, did you serve my mother?"

Qiao Niannian's eyes looked at her, and the second jade frowned and blinked, and replied, "Yes." But not for long. ”

"When was that?"

There are really a lot of people who have served this maid, if she has served her mother, then Qiao Niannian feels that this person is really useful.

And because when the eldest lady died before, Eryu was particularly impressed by her, so she took it out casually: "The slave servant served for about four months, and the last time to serve her was when the eldest lady died......"

Hearing this, Qiao Niannian's heart was a little turbulent, "Do you know which midwife was at that time?" ”

Qiao Niannian's question made Eryu very puzzled, and she didn't know what she was investigating. But because he couldn't help but answer Qiao Niannian's question, Eryu tried very hard to recall.

"I remember! It's Mama Zhang! At that time, when the eldest lady was about to give birth, she was next to her. Right! You can't go wrong. ”

Suddenly, a figure turned in his mind, and Eryu raised his head and said to Qiao Niannian with great certainty. Because this is the first time she has seen someone else give birth, her impression of this is also very deep.

"Where is she now?"

Things became a little clearer, and Qiao Niannian thought about continuing to ask. It would be best if you could ask things more clearly.

"Where...... The slave and maid didn't understand. At the time, she just said that her men had never been killed. And this time, it made her very sad, so she stopped doing this, but went to find other work. But the slave had seen her at the sugar pastry once, and perhaps she had gone there to do it. ”

Thinking about it carefully, Eryu nodded as he said these words, as if he had an attitude of affirmation towards what he had just said. It's just that if she recalls the appearance of Mama Zhang, then it is estimated that it will be a little difficult, because Mama Zhang has only been here for about a week, and she doesn't often appear in the yard, so Eryu can't see it clearly.

But Qiao Niannian didn't ask.

"I want you to do me a favor. If you can help well, then I can ignore all previous matters. But if it can't be done, or if it is revealed. Then, your fate will be even more miserable than that Ju'er. ”

Saying this, Qiao Niannian's expression became colder and colder. The fair face, under the background of this moonlight, looks very pale, but it is also flustering.

The second jade hurriedly responded and agreed with a mouthful of promise.

"Yes! The slave will definitely complete what the lady tells her, and do everything she can to be perfect. ”

Immediately, Qiao Niannian glanced at her again and pursed her lips in satisfaction. After that, she told Eryu everything she wanted to know.

Because Eryu had never suspected the cause of death of the eldest lady of the Qiao family, she was very surprised after hearing what Qiao Niannian said. Although the eldest lady was not bad to her before, if you want to investigate this matter, I am afraid that it will not be easy for you, and you need to take a lot of risks.

It's just that if he doesn't agree to Qiao Niannian, then he will be treated extremely cruelly. Because she was also the maid in Qiao Niannian's residence before, she had heard of Ju'er's death. Thinking of Ju'er's painful death before, her heart became very afraid.

"The slave knows, go and do it now."

As she spoke, the second jade thought about retreating, but Qiao Niannian immediately stopped her.

"If asked, it will say that I don't want someone who served me before to serve me to serve me again."

Hearing this, Eryu thought about it and nodded, this reason is wise. Because in this way, it will not arouse the suspicion of those people, at most it will be a few complaints, and it is precisely because she will not suspect that she may return to the second lady and find out the news for Qiao Niannian.

After Eryu retreated, Qiao Niannian put the pearl in his hand into the original box. Then he turned around and walked towards the bed.

Tomorrow there is something that must be done.

Nothing was said all night.

On the second day, Qiao Niannian got up early, because after falling asleep last night, there was always a person in his mind. And after waking up from the nightmare, Qiao Niannian felt that this dream was very real, and the people in it were also very real, so he couldn't sleep at all.

This person's face is very blurry, but Qiao Niannian can vaguely see it, she seems to be full of wrinkles, and the vicissitudes of life on her face are embarrassing.

And the most disgusting thing is her hands, blood flowing, and in some places, calluses have formed, blood flows, uneven.

"Ma'am, this is breakfast from the kitchen. Serve hot. ”

The door opened, and Yun'er brought in the plate containing the snacks and placed them on the table. Seeing that Qiao Niannian had finished dressing up, she just sat there and seemed to be thinking about something, afraid that she would forget, so she reminded.

After hearing this, Qiao Niannian stopped thinking, but turned sideways, and said to her with a somewhat serious expression: "Today I am going out to find someone, in order to avoid people's eyes, you lie on my bed, and say to the outside that I am sick, and refuse everyone's treatment." Let the hypocrisy be guarded outside the door. ”

Yun'er's eyes were immediately surprised, what is Madam going to do, why do you want to use this trick again? However, she didn't ask, but after Qiao Niannian prepared everything, she pretended to be Qiao Niannian and lay down.

And Qiao Niannian, disguised as a man, went out of this door.

Because when she lived in Qiao's Mansion before, she had already walked around Qiao's Mansion several times in order to find a pharmacy, so she was already familiar with where the place was more hidden. So soon, Qiao Niannian went out of Qiao's mansion smoothly.

And after leaving Qiao's Mansion, she followed the impression in her mind and followed her feelings. Because when she was in the prince's mansion, she often went out to the pharmacy, so she still knew something about some of the situations on the street.

And the sugar pastry shop that Eryu said should be around here, and there is no need to walk a lot. So, Qiao Niannian looked at the archway on the side of the road, and at the same time observed behind him to check whether there was any tracking.

The reason why I had to go to the midwife privately was because I didn't want the person who framed her mother to know that she was investigating, otherwise the person would have done everything to hinder her, and she would have caused many incidents in vain, and it would be even more troublesome to find the cause.

It didn't take long for Qiao Niannian to stop in front of a store. This is the sugar pastry shop, it seems that it has been some years, and the brand on this façade has also lost its paint, showing a very old appearance.

After a pause, Qiao Niannian looked at the gray-clothed man sitting inside, and then walked over.

Walking up to him, the man looked up as if he felt it. Seeing that the visitor was a son, he stood up very enthusiastically and began to ask him what he wanted.

And Qiao Niannian didn't want to reply to him at all, but just told him the purpose of his coming, "You guys, is there a grandmother surnamed Zhang?" ”

Hearing this, the smile on the man's face immediately disappeared, and was replaced by a suspicious look.

"Nope. You're in the wrong place. ”

Seeing Qiao Niannian's unkind appearance, the person's tone began to become indifferent and casual, it seemed that he didn't want Qiao Niannian to ask any more, but just wanted to drive her away.

"If you tell me, it's all yours."

Looking at the man's expression, Qiao Niannian knew that the man was just troublesome, and she didn't really want to help Mama Zhang hide it, so she took out a bag of silver from her clothes and put it on the table in front of her.

And the man, when he saw the silver, his face changed a little. He took the bag over, counted the money in it carefully, and immediately smiled again, as if he felt that he had made a lot of money this time, and turned to Qiao Niannian and said earnestly: "Mama Zhang, she is recuperating in it now." This store was originally hers, but because she has been sick for the past two years, she came to me to come to see the store. If Childe wants to find her, then go in, she's in the courtyard at the back. ”
