"Zhao Niangzi, you can be regarded as here!"

The little maid who was waiting in Zhang's mansion, holding an umbrella, hurriedly walked towards Zhao Chan.

Because of the rush when he came, the umbrella could not block the splashing rain, and the cold rain wet most of his face.

She is the only female servant in this Jinling City.

Today, I took over the work of the yamen and came to this mansion.

In July, the weather is very hot.

The men, women and children in Jinling City have made appointments to swim in the river.

The eldest girl of the Zhang family also followed a few little ladies, and after she went, she never came back.

What came back was just a cold corpse.

The eldest son of the Zhang family just married a new daughter-in-law, and the joyful red lantern was replaced by a white lantern for the funeral before it was hung for a few days.

When the eldest girl of the Zhang family was about to be buried, when Mrs. Zhang personally helped her daughter scrub the body, she found that the fingernails and toenails of the eldest girl of the Zhang family were black and purple.

The Zhang family suspected that the eldest girl of the Zhang family did not die in an accident, so they specially invited her, the only female servant in Jinling, from the Jinling Yamen to come and inspect the body of their daughter.

Because of the autopsy and the need for others to record it, Zhao Chan invited Li Chengzuo, who was on an errand with him in the yamen of Jinling Mansion, and came to Zhang's house with her.

After putting away the umbrella, Zhao Chan dusted off the moisture on the umbrella, picked up her own set of autopsy equipment, followed the steps of the guide boy, and entered the backyard mourning hall.

In the mourning hall, the maids and maids who were originally serving the eldest girl of the Zhang family in the Zhang Mansion knelt all over the ground, all bowed their heads, and cried bitterly.

It's like the girl lying in the coffin, not the main girl, but her own parents.

Entering the mourning hall, the eldest man of the Zhang family hurriedly got up to greet him.

The Zhang family is the only wealthy businessman in this five-mile radius.

My ancestors made their fortune selling salt.

In the generation of the old man of the Zhang family, he developed to open a business house of his own.

The eldest man of the Zhang family is about 50 years old, wearing a plain robe, with a solemn complexion, dark circles under his eyes, and a somewhat haggard face, obviously tired to the extreme.

Zhang Ruyue, the eldest girl of the Zhang family, is the girl born of the eldest master of the Zhang family and the first wife.

Because it was born by the first wife, the eldest man of the Zhang family has always been fond of her.

This year has just reached the age of discussing relatives, and such a thing happened, which parent should not be sad and sad?

The middle-aged woman sitting next to the eldest man of the Zhang family is the current wife of the Zhang family, Sun, and is the continuation of the eldest lady of the Zhang family.

Although it is a continuation of the string, he loves the children born by Mrs. Zhang Jiaxian, and does not treat them harshly.

After learning that the eldest girl of the Zhang family drowned that day, Mrs. Zhang Jiada woke up, woke up, and tossed for several days before gradually calming down.

The person who found out that the body of the eldest girl of the Zhang family was strange, and it was also the eldest lady of the Zhang family in front of her.

It was she who invited her from the Yamen of Jinling Mansion.

The eldest girl of the Zhang family is not her own, so it stands to reason that she doesn't have to cry so sadly and act so sad.

Now that she is so sad and so sad, in Zhao Chan's heart, there are already some doubts.

"Master Zhang, I don't know where Ling Qianjin's body is? Since the master of the Zhang family invited me over, I will take a good look at Ling Qianjin. ”

"If Ling Qianjin didn't drown, I would also help Master Zhang find out the real culprit, so that Ling Qianjin could be blinded under Jiuquan."

"This will trouble Mrs. Zhao. The weather is hot these days, and I was worried that Ruyue's corpse would change, so I didn't place Ruyue's corpse in this mourning hall. ”

"There is a cave in the rockery in my backyard, and I have asked people to put ice cubes in it and move Ruyue's body inside. Please also ask Mrs. Zhao to come with me! ”

followed the eldest man of the Zhang family to the rockery cave in the backyard of the Zhang family, and Zhao Chan saw the body of Zhang Ruyue, the eldest girl of the Zhang family.

A few days have passed, and the body of the eldest girl of the Zhang family, except for a little whitish, has not undergone any qualitative changes in other places.

It is rumored that the eldest girl of the Zhang family drowned, but the eldest lady of the Zhang family did not believe it.

It was precisely because she didn't believe that the eldest girl of the Zhang family drowned that she invited her to come over and check it out.

After all, her autopsy skills are among the best in Jinling City.

There are two reasons why Mrs. Zhang asked her to examine the body of Mrs. Zhang.

First, because she is a woman, although the eldest girl of the Zhang family is dead, the eldest girl of the Zhang family is a girl who has not been out of the cabinet after all, and if she is seen by a foreign man like this, I am afraid that it will damage the good reputation of the Zhang family for so many years.

The Zhang family is one of the wealthy businessmen in Jinling City, and it is reasonable to cherish their reputation.

Second, in this Nuoda Jinling City, the only female servant is Zhao Chan, and Mrs. Zhang Jiada does not invite her to come over for inspection, who else can she invite to come for inspection.

What's more, Zhao Chan is from an extraordinary background, and she is one of the few noble families in Jinling City, the girl of the Marquis of Wu'an.

Mrs. Zhang invited Zhao Chan to examine the body of the eldest girl of the Zhang family, and she would not worry about Zhao Chan telling her about it.

Hearing Ma Pozi's voice, Bai He, who was still asleep, woke up at once.

"Girl, is that you? How did you get in?" Bai He rubbed her eyes, only to find out that Song Jin had really appeared in front of her. "Why did the girl suddenly appear here? Could it be that the girl angered the old lady, and the old lady locked the girl up in this firewood room?"

In Bai He's heart, he still cares about Song Jin all the time.

"No, I just miss you. Just come and see you! You've been staying in this firewood room these days, but are you okay? The people of Songhezhai, how are you treated?"

Song Jin straightened Bai He's messy bun and wiped Bai He's face with the handkerchief he was carrying.

"Girl, don't worry about me, everything is fine with the slave! The slave and maid are just worried about the girl, afraid that the girl will be confused for the sake of the slave and maid! Done a foolish thing! Girl, the slave will not be able to continue to serve by your side in this life! Please also ask the girl to take good care of herself next. ”

As Bai He spoke, his eyes moistened unconsciously.

Seeing Bai He crying into a tearful person, Song Jin hurried over, took Bai He's hand, and said.

"It's so decent, why are you crying? Don't cry, how unlucky! ”

Song Jin wiped the tears from the corners of Bai He's eyes with the handkerchief he was carrying, and told her the purpose of coming today.

"Bai He, the reason why I came to see you today is because I have good news and I am ready to tell you. In order to protect you, my mother has already promised you someone's family. It is Ding Gui, the youngest grandson of Ding Gui, who is in the countryside, and has a Zhuangzi, after you get married, you can also enjoy happiness. ”

"That Ding Gui, I have also seen it today, although the appearance is not too good, but as long as he can treat you well, it is the best."

Hearing Song Jin say this, Bai He's original stopped tears gushed out at this moment.

"Thank you, girl!"

Bai He's words fell, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed a few times to Song Jin in front of him.

"If it weren't for the fact that there was a girl by the slave's side all these years, protecting the slave and helping the slave and maid, I am afraid that the slave and the maid would have been driven out of the house by the lady!"

"Silly girl, what are these words? You serve by my side, and I don't protect you, who should I protect? Hurry up, I'm leaving, and I'll come back to see you when Grandmother has released you from this firewood room." ”
