"Ahem...... Anyway, let's talk about the ins and outs of the matter. Yi Ling glanced at Xu Feng, who automatically stood in the corner of the wall. Pretend to be calm. "The eldest lady of the Gu family you are talking about, I have heard a little, is it Gu Tianqing?"

"Yes," Maple Leaf clenched his little fists, "I am the personal maid of the eldest lady, and I have been adopted by the eldest lady since I was a child. Yesterday at noon, when I had lunch, the eldest lady said as usual that she wanted to go to the back garden in the afternoon to relax, and asked me to go to the store first to buy some of her favorite dried fruit preserves, and let the other maids accompany her. As a result, when I came back, I couldn't find the eldest lady, and after asking all the maids in our yard, I found that they were also looking for the eldest lady, saying that the eldest lady suddenly disappeared when she was in the back garden, and they thought that the eldest lady was back in the yard. At this time, the old lady's maid rushed over, saying that the family was patrolling in the back garden and saw the eldest lady falling into the pool, so he went to tell the old lady and the old lady in time, and the old man was sending people to fish for people in the pool. Maple Leaf's voice became choked, and Yiling could glimpse a little tear stain on her cuffs: "The lord and the lady waited in the back garden for two whole hours, and just as everyone was persuading them to go back to rest, the family found ...... in the pool. Miss's corpse ...... "Maple wiped her tears fiercely, "But Miss, Miss, she can't kill herself!" Because ......"

"Because if she wants to kill herself, she won't let you buy her candied fruit to break you apart, and let someone else accompany her. And obviously someone followed, and in the end the eldest lady disappeared, and others and you looked for her in the garden but didn't find her, but the guards saw her next to the pool in the back garden. ”

Yi Ling said all the doubts she found in one breath, Maple Leaf was stunned for a moment, and then nodded vigorously.

"The eldest lady's body, have you seen it by the doctor?" Yiling took a sip of tea and said lightly.

"No," Maple Leaf shook his head, "The old lady said that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, but she just asked the doctor at home to confirm it, saying that it was indeed drowned, and she went to prepare for the future." After all, a few of our maids also said that the eldest lady was indeed missing. The lord was furious because of this, and tried us well, and the older maids were all beaten, and I was just scolded because I was the most protective one of the eldest lady. It's the eldest lady, because of the death of the eldest lady, she collapsed, and she was locked in the room and never came out until now. So I sold two pots of Miss's favorite wine for the funeral. As soon as I opened the flask, I was here. ”

Yi Ling nodded: "When will the ceremony be held?" ”

Maple Leaf immediately replied: "I heard that they said that they will be buried at noon tomorrow, but what does the snake demon want me to help prepare?" ”

Yi Ling smiled slightly: "Yes, you go and help me prepare two sets of maids and one set of men's clothes, and send them to the outer wall here when they are ugly, and I will personally pick you up, and listen to my arrangement when the time comes." ”

Maple Leaf nodded, got up to leave, Yiling pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "You are a squirrel, after you go back today, help me monitor the movements of all the important people in your family, can you do it?" ”

Maple Leaf nodded vigorously: "Of course!" ”

After Maple Leaf left, Xu Feng looked at Yiling with interest: "What, interested in this little guy?" ”

"Aren't you interested?" Yiling replied, "This kid is very smart. ”

"I found out," Xu Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, "Is it because it's a squirrel?" ”

"Keep her if you like." Qiu Ming said on the side, "I have a hunch that this child will be useful in the future." ”

"Well," Yiling smiled, "and besides, this kind of child who has no nostalgia needs a home more, doesn't he?" ”

……

Ugly time

On the backyard wall, a cold wind blew, her hair fluttered slightly in the wind, and a pair of golden eyes flashed coldly in the night. In the dark night, Yiling could clearly sense that a little girl was running towards here.

"Snake Fairy!" The maple leaf called loudly under the wall, and the petite figure really made people feel weak. Yi Ling flew down and landed on the ground steadily, took off his coat again, and put it on the maple leaf, who knew that the child was too young, and Yi Ling's coat almost turned into a robe.

Maple Leaf took off a package from behind and handed it to Yiling, who smiled: "Did you find anything?" Maple nodded. Yiling spent an afternoon at Qiu Ming and Xu Feng to get to know the relationship between the Gu family's characters.

The Gu family is a well-known local dignitary and nobleman, the head of the family, Master Gu, is an official in the court, the Gu family is in charge of the circulation of goods in Luohuangcheng, and has a three-room aunt wife, but has no children for many years, and has three daughters, the eldest lady Gu Tianqing, the second lady Gu Xuezhi, and the third lady Gu Shuangrong. The eldest lady is knowledgeable, gentle and intelligent, and is the master's favorite daughter. The old man of the Gu family has always been honest, but some people say that the reason why the Gu family has today's status is entirely because it has mastered the economic lifeline of Luohuang and hid private funds, so that it has today's power.

Maple Leaf told Yiling everything she heard, and Yiling nodded with satisfaction: "Then what do you think you should do next?" ”

Maple Leaf looked at Yiling steadily, and Yiling smiled with a smile in her eyes: "Go ahead, it's better to do this kind of thing in person." I'll make up for the shortcomings you do. ”

It didn't take long for Maple Leaf to nod firmly: "I know." ”

The night was silent, and Yiling lay on the bed, looking out the window at the moon that had just emerged from behind the clouds, without saying a word.

It seems that Luohuang will soon have a good show. She thought so and slowly fell asleep.

Following

Yiling got up early in the morning, and when she came out, she found that Xu Feng was waiting at her door for the first time.

"Yo, come at this time, rare guest." Yi Ling rubbed his sleepy eyes, Xu Feng is a half-demon, half human blood and half leopard blood in his body According to the habits of felines, it is a miracle that he is awake at this time.

"I went to Gu Mansion again just now." Xu Feng said, "Guess what I found?" ”

Yiling raised her eyebrows slightly, it seems that the affairs of the Gu family are really more exciting than she imagined.
