Chapter Seventy-Six: The Death of Ruyi
"Grandmother, my granddaughter is going back too, I got a good book from you today, I have to go back and take a good look." Ji Wan also stood up from the couch.
Seeing that they were diligent and studious one by one, Mrs. Ji was too late to be happy, where would she stop her, so she immediately ordered Xia He to pack two boxes of gold silk rolls and send them out.
It was still raining outside, and Ji Fu shivered as soon as he came out.
Qinglan hurriedly tied a cotton silk cloak to her, although it was not as precious as Shu brocade, but the workmanship was very good, and the embroidered flowers and birds on it were vivid and exquisite.
"Did the third sister's cloak be made by herself? This embroidery is so delicate. Ji Wan said unabashedly in admiration.
"Does the big sister like it? If you don't dislike it, my sister will make one for you another day, and I can have the opportunity to learn about housekeeping, or I am blessed by my eldest sister. Being praised by Ji Wan so much, Ji Fu's face crossed a trace of triumph, in addition to poetry, she also put a lot of effort into embroidery.
Ji Wan shook his head: "I like it, I like it, but this is too big, it takes effort, why don't the third sister help me embroider a purse." ”
She helped Ji Fu just easily, and more to save unnecessary trouble.
"Then I'll embroider for my big sister when I go back." Ji Fu said with a smile.
Ji Wan thought for a while: "It's not in a hurry, it's too late to do it after this period of time." ”
The yard of the two was not on the way, and they only walked together for a while before parting.
Qinglu didn't speak for a long time from just now, and when she separated from Ji Fu, it was as if she had regained her freedom: "Miss, the third lady's female celebrity is doing a good job, but it is far worse than falling snow, why do you want her to make you a purse?" ”
Yan Bing was very speechless, Qinglu, this girl is really getting more and more boundless, she will come when she opens her mouth, and she dares to ask about the master's affairs at will: "Qinglu, where have you learned the rules, Miss has her own intentions in doing things, I can tell Mama Chen if you do this again." ”
Qinglu's curiosity instantly extinguished when she heard her mention Mama Chen, Mama Chen has always been strict and has very high requirements for the people who serve around Ji Guan, and they didn't suffer less when they learned the rules, and even now they still have relatives.
Ji Guan's mood was not as relaxed as theirs, and he stretched out his hand outside the umbrella and asked with a heavy heart: "Yan Bing, it has been raining for a few days, it should be eight or nine days." ”
"It's the tenth day." Yan Bing's mood was also a little low when he thought of this.
Only Qinglu is still a little confused.
"Let's go to Xinghua Lane in a while, it's raining all day, and I'm a little uneasy after all." Ji Wan frowned, it had been raining for so many days, and it would be time for these grains to come in handy in two days, and before that, she had to make sure that there were no problems with these grains.
Yan Bing thought for a while and said: "When the slave maid went to check two days ago, it was still good, the location we found was high, and it would not be easy to accumulate water, so there should be no big problem." ”
Ji Wan was still sullen, Qinglu and Yan Bing also had a tacit understanding when they saw this, and they didn't say much, and a few people were silent and quickened their pace, and soon returned to Qiyunyuan.
Entering the house and just sitting down, Tingyu staggered in, Yan Bing frowned and was about to say a few words to her, seeing that she was pale, her eyes were distracted, and she noticed that something was wrong, so she hurriedly turned her head and asked with concern: "Tingyu, what's wrong with you, is something wrong?" ”
Ji Wan also looked at her in confusion.
"Miss, Ruyi, Ruyi, she's dead."
Ji Guan's brows furrowed even tighter: "Ruyi? Isn't Ruyi gone? Where did you hear from that? ”
Yan Bing was also very surprised when she heard this, Ruyi was personally sent out of the city, and she was still a living person that day, and she didn't slow down when she heard the news of her death.
Ji Wan let Qinglu pour a cup of hot tea for Luoxue, listened to the rain and poured a few sips of tea, his mind finally stabilized a little, and his body was not so trembling: "Early this morning, a female corpse was found outside the city, which was washed out of the mud next to it by the rising water of the moat, and was found by the villagers passing by and reported the case, and the government set up a corpse shed outside the mansion, many people went to see it, and it was a coincidence, Ruyi's aunt happened to be there, and she recognized it at a glance, I heard that it was drowned, and the body had been led back to Shuanghuan Lane by her aunt at this time, Put it at the entrance of the alley now. ”
Speaking of this, Tingyu's face turned a little paler, and he said in a trembling voice: "Ruyi's aunt and the slave's sister both live in Shuanghuan Lane, and the two families are only separated by a wall. ”
Qinglu almost wanted to vomit as long as she thought about that scene for a moment, looked at Tingyu sympathetically, stepped forward and patted her back comfortingly.
Ji Wan's face was puzzled: "Since the body has been changed beyond recognition, how did her aunt recognize it?" ”
Listening to the rain paused, it took a while before he continued: "Ruyi's parents died when she was a child, and she was brought up by her uncle and aunt, her aunt said that Ruyi's left finger was born differently from ordinary people, and the little thumb and ring finger were about the same length, she knew it at a glance, and the silver bracelet on Ruyi's hand was just given to Ruyi last month. ”
"Miss, who the hell is this who wants to kill Ruyi like this, even if there is a contradiction, there is a lesson, and it shouldn't be killed, it's too cruel."
Although Ruyi did a lot of bad things with the second lady, she didn't hurt anyone's life in the end, and it was too miserable to end up here.
Ji Wan had already counted in his heart, and looked in the direction of Wanyingju through the window.
There will be no one else except that person, it is she who underestimated the ruthlessness of the Xu family. Although Ruyi's death is not at fault with her, she still has some regrets in her heart.
Yan Bing was careful, looked out along Ji Guan's line of sight, suddenly chuckled in his heart, and blurted out: "Miss, you don't mean the one who lives in Wanyingju." ”
Qinglu and Tingyu were shocked, and they all looked at Ji Wan in shock, as if they were seeking verification.
"I can't be wrong, the Xu family should be very hateful and testify against Ji Wei, so they will kill her to vent their anger." Ji Wan was silent, lowered his eyes, and his tone was as light as smoke: "I didn't think about this matter enough. ”
"Miss, how can I blame you, you gave her the choice at the beginning, if it weren't for her own fear of hardship and greed for money, and unwilling to obey Miss's arrangement, where would she have lost her life." Qinglu said angrily, poor people have their own hate.
"But in those days, the slave maid had people staring at that side every day, and I never saw Aunt Xu go out, and she complained of illness the next day after the second lady left," Yan Bing was stunned as she spoke, Aunt Xu had never gone out, but the thrush and magpie had gone out, and this kind ......of thing didn't need to be done by yourself.
