Chapter 143. The greasy scent of death
"Ah...... It's fate! ”
The girl's frightened screams instantly tore through the quiet night and pierced Uncle Bai's eardrums.
"Bang, bang", the heartbeat missed a beat, and after a sudden contraction, it began to beat violently, and it was so strong that it seemed to jump out of the chest at any moment.
Those words that Uncle Bai had intended to appease Bai Xiantong swirled in his throat and were swallowed again.
"Why is your twelfth sister here?!" He asked loudly, but at the same time, the sound of panicked footsteps also rose at this moment, and in the blink of an eye, the figure had disappeared in front of Bai Xiantong's eyes.
Indeed, Bai Xianyu is by no means his favorite daughter. Compared with Bai Xianyu, he pities the well-behaved Bai Xiantong more, prefers the clever Bai Xian Jiao more, the more reassuring and decent Bai Xiannan, and the more concerned Bai Xian who marries far away.
But if he was asked to choose only one among his many daughters, he would not hesitate to choose Bai Xianyu!
This daughter who has already embarked on the road of the mother of the nation with half a foot!
…
Seventeen maids serving in Manxiangyuan, plus the red sandalwood sent by the old lady and the diancui sent by the eldest lady, a total of nineteen people, all died in the back cover room of Manxiangyuan.
Nineteen corpses were neatly stacked on the floor of the back house, but there were no signs of a fight in the back room, and none of the bodies were scarred. Even if you look closely, you will feel ridiculously that these people who died inexplicably are very peaceful.
Bai Jiyuan was the first to discover, followed by Bai Xianyu, and then Uncle Bai.
After that, the eldest lady was the first to arrive, and she couldn't find Bai Jiyuan and Bai Xianyu, so she subconsciously took someone to Manxiangyuan to find it, but when she encountered such a strange thing, the eldest lady was also unexpected, although it was a pity that there was no emerald, but fortunately, her children were still safe.
Bai Xianyu never came back to his senses, stupid and stupid; Bai Jiyuan was not stupid, and even had a bit of excitement, but the eyes that looked at his father were obviously a little sad and afraid.
"Mother Yan, bring the two of them back for me, find someone to watch every inch, remember that it is inseparable!" , The eldest lady commanded in a deep voice, and then turned her head to Uncle Bai and asked, "Uncle, do you want to report to the official?" ”
Mother Yan's movements were extremely fast, almost at the moment when the eldest lady's words fell, she pulled the brother and sister one by one, and left the back cover room and left the Manxiang Garden, she was unwilling to stay in such a place, and Bai Jiyuan and Bai Xianyu also cooperated rarely.
Uncle Bai's eyes were extremely heavy at the moment, and after a long time, he slowly shook his head, and then replied with difficulty: "You can't report to the official, the Bai family can't afford to lose this face." ”
Indeed, the deaths of these nineteen people in front of him are strange everywhere.
If it is said that these people are collective-suicide, this does not make sense at all, you must know that among the dead there are also red sandalwood, Diancui, these two big girls who are quite face-making and status in the backyard, for ordinary slaves, these two people can be called a bright future, and there is no need to commit suicide at all.
But if it is said that someone killed him, it is also ridiculous! What kind of means and abilities do you need to deal with the people in a courtyard silently without the Bai family noticing?
The current situation is more like the work of ghosts and gods than man-made. However, the Bai family is going to become a descendant, how can this kind of thing, which is obviously like God's punishment, be exposed to the world!
"Let Jingxin take over, this matter is too tricky, you don't care."
Manxiangyuan belongs to the backyard, and the dead are all female slaves who belong to the backyard. If something like this happens, it is natural that the eldest lady should deal with it first, but considering the only remaining Bai Xiantong at the time of the accident in Manxiangyuan, and thinking of the previous conversation in Zhining Courtyard, Uncle Bai decided to deal with this matter himself.
The eldest lady laughed and said: "......I can't ask for it", you must know that Manxiangyuan or Bai Xiantong is a thunder, who knows if it will cause fire and self-immolation, and the left and right already know that Bai Xiantong has a problem, and she can't kill Bai Xiantong, so why continue to spend a lot of effort on Bai Xiantong, it is better to put limited energy into those hidden dangers that have not been found out.
What's more, if Jing Xin takes over, she is actually more relieved, after all, she has tied Jing Wu to her side, and at the same time, she also believes in Jing Xin's ability, and through Jing Xin to find the real culprit behind the scenes, it can be regarded as giving an explanation to the dead Dian Cui in disguise.
When Jingxin received the report and rushed to Manxiangyuan from the study in the front yard, the eldest lady had already returned to Zhining Courtyard.
The lights in the Zhining courtyard are bright at the moment, especially in the hall, there is almost a candlestick in two steps, and the whole room is as bright as day.
Looking at the brother and sister sitting silently in front of them with a chair in front of them, the eldest lady said in a deep voice.
"Why are you scared? Didn't Mother warn you not to go near the Manxiang Garden, you will suffer now? ”
Bai Xianyu pursed her mouth, she was actually not afraid when she saw those corpses at the beginning, after all, they all looked quite peaceful, and she even wondered at that time, why was it just dark for a while, and they were all lazy to sleep.
So she wanted to shake Diancui awake and ask, but before her hand touched Diancui, she was grabbed by her good sixth brother, and then Bai Jiyuan almost yelled at her: "Don't move!" They're all dead! Don't spoil the scene! ”
She wasn't frightened by nineteen corpses, she was frightened by her own brother......
"Mother, there is nothing to be afraid of dead people...... don't you", Bai Xianyu lowered her head and said in a muffled voice, and then turned her head to look at her mother, "They are similar to normal people, they just look like they are asleep." ”
The eldest lady was stunned by Bai Xianyu's words.
Bai Jiyuan "cut" at this time, "Then why are you silent, I still think you are scared, and I specially lit these lights for you." ”
Wrinkling his bun face, Bai Xianyu retorted: "I didn't say anything because I was thinking about what that smell was." ”
"What smell?" , Bai Jiyuan asked, and the eldest lady also locked her eyebrows at the same time.
"Didn't you all ask? It's a little light, but it's still noticeable. It is...... It is...... It's a little sweet, but it's a little greasy, oops...... Ah...... I can't remember it all at once. Bai Xianyu said with a look of chagrin on his face.
"Tired?" , The eldest lady closed her eyes, her heart sank, the child was forgetful, but she remembered very clearly, more than three months ago, when Luo Bin was instructed by Bai Xiantong to harm her daughter, after her daughter woke up, she described the smell she smelled before vomiting, and she also used the word "greasy".
