21. Punishment III
Leng Qiuling stared at Aunt Mei and left, then shifted her gaze to Zhishu, and said with a sneer, "Zhishu, you and I are masters and servants, although you have betrayed me now, but I am not too ruthless, you pack up your things and leave the cold mansion, I don't want to see you from now on." ”
Zhishu originally thought that he would die, but suddenly knew that he could leave alive, and he was overjoyed, and he sincerely kowtowed to Leng Qiuling a few times, and said, "Miss, I hope you take care of your body after the slave and maid leave, Aunt Mei is not a good person, yesterday's incident was planned by her own hands, Miss must be careful in the future." ”
Leng Qiuling nodded expressionlessly and went out, several monks in the garden sat cross-legged on the ground and read Buddhist scriptures in their mouths, and Aunt Li and her two daughters also stood not far away.
"Master, I remember that there were a total of nine monks who came yesterday, why is there one less suddenly, you must know that the rules in our house are big, if you go to a place where you shouldn't go, you may lose your life together." Leng Qiuling walked over and said to the old monk in the middle.
The chanting sound stopped abruptly, and the bodies of several of the young monks trembled, and the old monk Jueyuan stood up, clasped his hands together and said, "Please rest assured, the eldest lady, our master and apprentice are all people who know etiquette, and they will not trespass at will." ”
Leng Qiuling nodded noncommittally, glanced at the lake not far away, and the corpse should have floated over even if it was time.
"Ah, corpses, there's corpses in that lake." Aunt Li, who was standing by the lake, shouted first, and the maids and women nearby surrounded her, and after a while, the body was fished up.
"Master, won't you go over and have a look? The monks are compassionate, even if they go over and help that dead man to spend a little time. ”。 Leng Qiuling stared at Jueyuan and said.
"Quit empty, the master is Qu Kong, why did he die." A few little monks said with white faces and trembling voices.
Leng Qiuling laughed, raised her feet and walked towards the corpse, her eyes were just on the eyes that had not been closed, Aunt Li was already so frightened that her legs were weak, and half of her body leaned on the maid and looked at Leng Qiuling in horror.
"Aunt Li, why are you doing this to me, is it possible that you think that I killed people." There was no trace of warmth in Leng Qiuling's voice.
Aunt Li hurriedly lowered her head and said, "Miss, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that, this monk must have fallen by himself, it was an accident, and it doesn't matter to others." ”
"Accident." Leng Qiuling snorted and said, "I really didn't see it, Aunt Li's ability is not small, you can see at a glance how this monk died, then tell me, did he drown this morning, or did he drown yesterday when you were looking for Zhishu." ”
"Miss, yesterday it was the dead girl of Peony who spread the news, it has nothing to do with me, if you don't get rid of your hatred, then I'll leave Peony at your disposal." Aunt Li took out the peony from behind her and blocked it in front of her.
Peony trembled and knelt on the ground, lowered her head and cried, "Miss, spare your life, Miss, the slave will never dare in the future, you will spare a lot of slaves and maids this time." ”
"Shut up." Leng Qiuling frowned and said, "What does it look like to cry and cry, there are no rules in the house, Zhiqin, you go and invite Aunt Mei to let her see what is going on in the house, and I don't know how to laugh at it if it spreads." ”
"It's the eldest lady, the slave will go over." Zhiqin nodded and hurriedly went to find someone.
Peony didn't dare to cry anymore, she looked up at Aunt Li as if asking for help, her eyes were full of pleading, Aunt Li glanced at Leng Qiuling, turned her face to the other side, and pretended to talk to the third lady Leng Qiulian, but the hand in front of her body kept pulling the handkerchief.
"Eldest sister, she also did bad things with good intentions, you have a lot of them, just spare her this time, the house has been doing things recently, if you see blood, it will be unlucky." Fourth Miss Leng Qiuyue said in a soft voice.
Leng Qiuling glanced at Leng Qiuyue unexpectedly, this girl is not small, she stood up when others didn't dare to speak, Leng Qiuling retracted her gaze and said casually, "That's it, since the four sisters all lowered their bodies to intercede for a maid, then I, the eldest sister, can't be too ruthless, drag it down and play the twenty big boards." ”
