Chapter 053: Horizontal Branch

But the storytelling is calm and calm, with a majestic momentum. As soon as she stepped into Gan Tang Xuan, she scolded Yan Guilan, and at the same time suppressed everyone. Shuyu was followed by five or six maids, who quickly ran to Bai Ziyan's body for a preliminary investigation.

Yan Guiwan wiped her tears and hid behind Wen Changsu, while Wen Changsu sighed on the side. Shuyu walked up to their father and daughter first, bowed down and crossed his hands and said, "Concubine Wen, Little Master Lan." ”

The father and daughter hurriedly returned the salute to Shuyu, and Wen Changsu hurriedly roared: "Oh my God! Oh my! I really didn't expect it! A good man, how can you say that if you don't have it, it's gone! ”

"Little Lord Lan has had a conflict with Bai Ziyan these days?" Shuyu asked.

"Nope!" Wen Changsu replied, "The relationship between Lan'er and Ziyan has always been very good. All these great and small servants in their room can testify! He pointed to the crowd, "Do you say?" How does Lan'er treat Ziyan on weekdays? ”

As soon as Wen Changsu's words came out, the servants of Gan Tangxuan were so panicked that they all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak, he was blatantly warning them not to talk nonsense.

Shuyu's eyes were sharp and fierce, and he said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Concubine Wen, I'm asking Little Master Lan to answer!" ”

The representative of the book is naturally the main mother Yan Leshi, she is the chief official next to the main mother, no matter how big or small, the person the main mother relies on the most is her. When such a major event happened in the house, she was naturally sent to solve it.

Everyone can see it, and Wen Changsu is also included. But at this juncture, he proudly defended Yan Guilan. Even if he is Yan Guilan's biological father, this practice seems too much to cover up, right?

Wen Changsu didn't dare to contradict the book, and lowered his head in mockery. Yan Guilan had no choice but to confess: "I have a very good relationship with Yan Lang, and I have never had any awkward trouble. ”

"When was the last time Lord Lan saw Bai Ziyan?" Shuyu continued to ask.

"I think it was last night...... After the lights went out last night, he went back to the ear room to rest. After going to say hello to my mother this morning, I went to Panshi Zhai to talk to my father. ”

"In other words, I went to say hello to my mother this morning, and Bai Ziyan didn't go to Muli Tower?"

"It should be, we don't go together on weekdays, so I didn't pay much attention to whether he was there or not."

Yan Guilan's appearance didn't look like she was lying, and she thought about it. One of the maids had already walked up to Shuyu and said solemnly: "Yuguan'er, Bai Ziyan should have committed suicide by cutting his wrists." She said as she pointed to Bai Ziyan's wrist and the small daggers scattered on the ground.

Bai Ziyan was neatly dressed, his makeup and hair were exquisite, only a big hole was cut on the wrist of his right hand, and blood flowed out from here, soaking most of his body. His body stiffened slightly, and he hadn't been dead for long.

Several maids carefully inspected the auricle before and after, but found nothing suspicious. And judging from Bai Ziyan's wrist cuts, it really doesn't look like a fake suicide scene after being killed by others.

But why did Bai Ziyan commit suicide?

"So, who first found the body?" The book asks the people.

A young man said timidly, "Yes...... It's small. ”

"Come forward and tell me more." Shuyu commanded.

The little guy walked to Shuyu's side tremblingly, and said, "The little one came in to clean the house as usual, and when he saw that the door of the ear room had been closed, he mistakenly thought that Yan Lang was unwell and hadn't gotten up yet. But the door of the transept was hidden, leaving a little gap, and the little one inadvertently glanced in, and suddenly found that there was a person lying on the floor of the transept! I was so panicked that I hurriedly pushed the door in, and I never thought it was the scene in front of me......"

Yan Zeyin followed behind and added: "This little guy's 'ah' shout, we heard it clearly in the Guan Ju Pavilion. I thought there should be an accident on the second sister's side, so I rushed over with Xiaopu Xiaoshi. We didn't move Bai Ziyan's corpse, and immediately informed the news to the master's mother and second sister. ”

Shuyu saluted Yan Ze Bank and said, "Thanks to the timely report of the little master. ”

"Which courtyard in this house has an accident, isn't it all our Yan family's business? Sister Yu still has to deal with it properly. Yan Zeyin arched his hand.

"Xia Guan understands." Shuyu saw that he understood the matter about the same, so he first said to everyone, and said: "There is a life in Gantang Xuan, and it is bound to make people panic when you say it, and you also know that the little aunt's wedding is imminent, and then the Liu family will know at this time, I don't know how many branches will be born." Therefore, listen to it, and you must not go out and chew your tongue, and if something that should not be said reaches the ears of the master's mother, I will teach you not to eat and walk around! ”

The language of the book was deafening, and everyone on the spot responded in unison. Immediately afterwards, Shuyu ordered the maids to carry Bai Ziyan's body out and quietly dispose of it. sent everyone to disperse again, and then detained Wen Changsu and Yan Guilan to return to Mu Li Lou to reply.

The book was made clear to Yan Lesam one by one, and Yan Lesam was very unhappy when he heard it, "Lan'er, why did Bai Ziyan commit suicide?" Tell me the truth. ”

"Master, I don't know, I really don't know why Yan Lang can't think about it." Yan Guilan looked very innocent.

Yan Leshi smashed the teacup with a "bang", and scolded angrily: "Wen Changsu, Bai Ziyan is the child of your brother's family, and now he has an accident in our Yan family, so the Bai family came to the door to tell us to explain, how should we deal with it?" She pointed at Yan Guilan, "This is the good boy you taught?" The male waiter under her room committed suicide, and she didn't even have any remorse, just blindly removed herself and got rid of the relationship? ”

The calligraphy and painting suddenly stepped forward, "The master mother...... When will we ask the Yamen to come over for an autopsy? ”

"Hide it for a day. Wen Changshu! Yan Lexix's raised noise pointed at Wen Changsu, "I'm asking you, how should we explain to the Bai family?" A living human life, say no, it's gone! ”

Wen Changsu fell to his knees when he boarded, and Yan Guilan also knelt down with his father.

"Lord...... Mother of the House. Wen Changsu stammered and said, "Bai Ziyan was just born to my younger brother's wife's concubine, and his biological father has also passed away. I went to Bai's house to talk to his wife...... Should...... It shouldn't cause trouble for our Yan family. ”

"But born to a concubine?" Yan Leshi glared at him, "The child born to the concubine should be lowly?" Their lives are worthless? Don't forget that your Lan'er is also a concubine! ”

Wen Changsu kowtowed his head and didn't dare to raise it again, "Lang...... Can't. ”

"Calligraphy and painting, you go to the Bai family with Concubine Wen, and ask the Bai family's housewife to come to the house quickly. This matter can't be delayed, they have to discuss it with the Bai family, and if they have any requirements, the Yan family will try their best to meet all of them. ”

Wen Changsu hurriedly got up and went to the Bai family with the calligraphy and painting, only Yan Guilan was left kneeling alone in the hall, Yan Leshi asked again: "Lan'er, you are a good boy." You tell the second aunt, does Bai Ziyan's death have anything to do with you? ”

Cold sweat oozed from Yan Guilan's forehead, "Second aunt...... Yan Lang's death really has nothing to do with me. You have to trust me. ”

"You get up first. Don't go back to Gantang Xuan, just sit here and wait for the Bai family to come. ”

"Lan'er understands."

"What do you understand? The Bai family is here, you have to kneel down and apologize! You know what! Yan Leshi said angrily.

Yan Guilan nodded like pounding garlic, and there were undried tears in the corners of her eyes. Yan Lesam left her dry in the hall and returned to the cabinet by herself. Shuyu followed her in, and there were several waitresses waiting inside.

"Shuyu, go and prepare the silver first. The Bai family will definitely not want less. ”

After listening to Shuyu, he hurriedly prepared, and another female officer stepped forward and said with crossed hands: "Mastermother." ”

"Shuqin, you go outside and prepare the coffin and the paper bundle of the spiritual vessels sent. Don't go through the corner doors on both sides, and don't go through the gates! Go through the back door to prevent outsiders at any time. ”

"Mastermother, in what capacity does Bai Ziyan prepare?"

"Let's follow the specifications of the concubines in the house. Don't treat him badly. ”

Shuqin led the order and hurriedly went out to prepare, and another female official stepped forward and said, "Master." ”

"Shuxiao, how are you looking here?"

"Back to the housewife, Bai Zi's statement that it is suicide should be accurate, and we are not afraid to test it."

"What other winds are you hearing outside?"

Shu Xiao hesitated for a moment, then bowed down and replied, "Mastermother, what I inquired about cannot be counted as evidence. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Bai Ziyan was often beaten and scolded by Lord Lan before his death. Every midnight and three watches, there is always a scream like killing a pig from Gantang Xuan, and it is said that the little master Lan is torturing Bai Ziyan. The little one guessed that Bai Ziyan couldn't bear the torture of the little master Lan, so he chose to commit suicide. ”

"How can this be true? Such a big thing happened in Gantang Xuan, why didn't anyone come to report it to me? How could the Yan family produce such a thug as her! ”

The mistress was angry. No matter whether it is a servant or an outsider, no one will dare to expose it to you easily. Besides, Bai Ziyan is the male attendant under Lord Lan's room, and he and Concubine Wen are still related, no one thought that things would develop to this point. ”

"That's what you know?"

"I knew a little bit about it before, and I secretly inquired about it today."

"Go outside and instruct a circle of houses, if anyone commits a crime against the wind at this time, they will be severely punished!"

But where are the impermeable walls? The Bai family has not yet been invited, and it has already spread in Zhumei Garden and Taoyao Pavilion. Yan Leyun was so angry that she almost squirted out a mouthful of old blood, and there were also chickens and dogs in this bamboo plum garden.

Yan Leyun was helped back to the bed by Liluo to lie down, and drank another bowl of soup before calming down. Yan Leyun had a hot white towel on her forehead, and she only heard her muttering: "This Yan Guilan, give me such a disgusting thing at this stall." If the Liu family knows, how can we get bad luck in our family? The Bai family will come to the door again to make trouble, and I am about to get married and worship the church! ”

Li Luo wiped Yan Leyun's heart with one hand, and helped her wipe her forehead with the other, "Lord Yun, don't be in a hurry." When the sky falls, there is a housewife for you, what do you say are you anxious about now? If you hurt your body and feel uncomfortable, can you do it? ”

"It's a human life! That Xiao Langqing was only sixteen or seventeen years old, so he couldn't think about looking for a short-term view. No, I have to go to Mu Li Lou to see how it goes......"

Yan Leyun lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed, but was stopped by Liluo and Lihua.

"Lord Yoon, you better rest for your life. Now is not the time for our Bamboo Plum Garden to show its head. Pear Luo persuaded bitterly.

Yan Leyun was lying on the bed like a frosted eggplant, as if the Yan family had fallen.

And in the Taoyao Pavilion, Jiuying couldn't sit still for a long time, she was stomping around in the courtyard, and she still couldn't guess where Yan Guiwan might go. Xu Moqing also put down the sword in his hand and walked to Jiuying, "Don't worry, Yingguan'er, the wife should be back soon." ”
