Chapter 245: Questioning
Liu's house is full of white stripes and white lanterns. Although Di'er and Ah Bao have been out of the funeral for several days, the whole Liu Mansion is still immersed in a depressing atmosphere.
"Yingxue, eat something, you don't take care of your body like this, if you know under the Di'er Spring, I'm afraid you will also worry about you." Liu personally brought the boiled millet porridge to Lin Yingxue.
Lin Yingxue has hardly eaten in the past few days, and hangs by drinking two sips of water all day. However, in a few days, Lin Yingxue's originally unplump figure was more like a willow in the wind, and Liu was even afraid that the wind outside would blow Lin Yingxue away.
"Mother, I don't have much appetite." Lin Yingxue turned her head sideways, her eyes were still empty, as if she had lost her soul.
"Yingxue ......" Liu sighed, and when he was helpless, Lin Yingxue suddenly turned his head again.
"Mother, now that this house is no longer safe, Di'er and Ah Bao are both affected by me. Why don't my mother move to Jingwang's Mansion to live for a while, it just so happens that the eldest sister is now pregnant, and my mother can also help take care of one or two in the past. This was a decision that Lin Yingxue had been thinking about for several days, she really didn't want to see anyone hurt or die because of her.
"No, it's because of this that Mother can't leave you here alone." However, Liu Shi refused after thinking about it, "Yingxin is my daughter, and so are you, both of you are my heart!" β
Yingxin has no mother-in-law to make things difficult for her, and she has no concubines to compete for favor, and the whole Jingwang Mansion is in her hands. There are many trustworthy people on her side who take care of her, but you are different, you are the way you are now, how can your mother bear to leave you alone? β
Liu Shi took Lin Yingxue's hand with a distressed face, and the worried look that stared at her made her think of her biological mother who had been dead for many years.
At this moment, Lin Yingxue's tears burst the embankment, with the great grief of the past few days, with the nostalgia for her deceased mother, and with all the guilt and resentment...... Lin Yingxue threw herself into Liu's arms and cried loudly.
"Good boy, cry, cry, just cry......" Liu hugged Lin Yingxue tightly in distress and comforted softly.
Lin Yingxue hadn't eaten well in the past few days, and after crying a lot, the whole person seemed to be hollowed out, and she was so tired that she fell asleep after a while.
Liu looked at Lin Yingxue, who was frowning and falling asleep, and after sighing softly, he retreated lightly.
When I woke up from this sleep, the outside of the house was still bright.
Lin Yingxue moved her sour body, and secretly wondered why she clearly felt that she had slept for a long time, but why was it not dark when she opened her eyes? Could it be that she was in a daze, so she was wrong to perceive?
"Yingxue, you're awake." The sudden male voice startled Lin Yingxue.
She tilted her head and looked in the direction of the outside, only to find that Murong Jun was sitting outside drinking tea, looking like he should have been waiting for her to wake up.
"Three...... How long has Jun been waiting here? Lin Yingxue got up and got out of bed, Xu is movements were a little more violent, and she fell straight to the ground as soon as it was dark in front of her.
"Be careful!" Murong Jun, who had been paying attention to her outside, rushed over in time to help her up, "I just happened to be away from you for the past few days, if I don't come to see you today, how long do you plan to go on a hunger strike?" β
Murong Jun didn't get angry, so he helped Lin Yingxue back to the bed and sat down, and then took Lin Yingxue's shoes and put them on for him personally.
Lin Yingxue shrank her feet a little embarrassed, "Don't move." Murong Jun frowned lightly and refused to let go.
Lin Yingxue couldn't help it, so she had to change the topic and said, "When did Ajun come?" β
"When I came over yesterday, Yahuan said that you finally fell asleep, so I went back first, I thought you should wake up this morning, but I didn't expect you to sleep until this time before waking up." Murong Jun scratched Lin Yingxue's nose dotingly, and took off the clothes on the side to put them on for Lin Yingxue himself.
Lin Yingxue was at the mercy of Murong Jun, and said in surprise: "I only slept for a few hours, but I didn't expect to sleep for a day and a night!" β
'Dong Dong Dong' was saying, but Miaoqin's voice came from outside the door: "Miss is awake?" Madame let the kitchen cook and keep the food hot, but Miss wants to eat now? β
"Bring it up." Before Lin Yingxue could answer, Murong Jun on the side had already spoken.
"Yes." Outside the door came the sound of footsteps moving away.
Dare to love these two people who come and go, and completely treat her, the head master, as air? Lin Yingxue was a little helpless.
After a while, Miaoqin brought up the food carefully prepared in the kitchen, and Murong Jun kept watching from the sidelines, until Lin Yingxue poured a whole bowl of porridge into his stomach, and then he said solemnly: "I have sent the people below to check, and the Bai people did not leave the inn on the day of Ah Bao and Di'er's accident, so there should be someone else who killed Ah Bao and Di'er." β
"What?" This result was a bit unexpected by Lin Yingxue, "If it weren't for that group of Bai people, who would have to attack Ah Bao and Di'er?" β
Lin Yingxue fell into deep thought.
Looking at Lin Yingxue's frowning and sad and angry face, Murong Jun couldn't help but reach out and touch Lin Yingxue's head, and said softly: "Don't worry, I will definitely find out the real murderer behind the scenes." All you have to do now is take care of your body and think about what you're going to do with someone when you catch them. β
However, Murong Jun's words did not divert Lin Yingxue's attention, Lin Yingxue was silent for a long time, and then suddenly thought of someone, "Could it be Lin Yingling?" β
She and Lin Yingling were originally incompatible, but the last time Murong Xing stood up for her in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and let Lin Yingling lose face in front of so many people.
Could Lin Yingling be resentful because of this, so she poured her anger on Di'er and Bao?
The more Lin Yingxue thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible, she clenched her fists and stood up suddenly, "I'm going to the Five Princes' Mansion." β
If this matter was really Lin Yingling's doing, she would definitely ask Lin Yingling to return it a thousand times and a hundred times!
"Although this is not impossible, it's just that at the moment, Xue'er, you don't have evidence to prove that Lin Yingling killed the person, so it's probably inappropriate for you to go so rashly." In Murong Jun's eyes, Lin Yingxue has always acted calmly, and he has never seen Lin Yingxue so impulsive.
"Third Highness, don't worry, I haven't gotten to the point of being carried away by hatred, I just want to find out if it's Lin Ying's smart hand this time." After Lin Yingxue finished speaking, she didn't give Murong Jun a chance to persuade her again, so she called Miaoqin outside in to redress her.
Looking at Lin Yingxue, who was rarely impulsive, a trace of distress flashed in Murong Jun's eyes.
β¦β¦
The Five Princes' Mansion.
For Lin Yingxue's arrival, Lin Yingling was a little surprised.
"Yo, what kind of wind blew the fifth sister here today." Lin Yingling held her chin high and looked at Lin Yingxue with contempt.
ββIt's no longer the time to be in the Lin family, Lin Yingling no longer needs to hide her dislike for Lin Yingxue, and Lin Yingxue doesn't need to hide her hatred for Lin Yingling.
"Di'er and Bao, did you do it?" Lin Yingxue didn't want to talk too much nonsense with Lin Yingling, so she made it clear as soon as she came up.
However, Lin Yingling frowned, and her face was a little puzzled, "Di'er and Bao? Who is Po? What happened to Di'er? Hasn't she already broken her leg by me? Look, is there something wrong with this? β
Lin Yingling picked up the teacup in her hand and took a sip gently, her words were full of schadenfreude for Lin Yingxue.
Lin Yingling didn't look like she was deliberately lying, but if it wasn't for the person in front of her, who would do it to the people around her because she hated her?
"Di'er is dead, are you happy?" Lin Yingxue's face was tense, and she couldn't see the slightest emotion.
When Lin Yingling heard this, she was slightly stunned, and then showed a happy smile, "Happy, of course happy!" Your dog is dead, you must be very sad as the master, right? As long as you are sad, I will be happy. β
Lin Yingling said triumphantly, her words and deeds were tantamount to sprinkling a handful of salt on Lin Yingxue's wound.
Lin Yingxue couldn't bear it, and her knuckles clenched until they turned white.
"If you really kill Di'er and Bao, I will let you die a good death!" Lin Yingxue's tone was like ice, and a pair of black eyes stared at Lin Yingling.
Lin Yingling only felt a chill rise from the bottom of her heart.
"Hmph, I'll wait and see who dies in the end." Lin Yingling shot back without showing weakness.
Lin Yingxue glanced at Lin Yingling deeply, didn't speak again, turned around and walked out of the door in silence - she knew Lin Yingling too well, if it was really Lin Yingling's hand, Lin Yingling would not have reacted like this.
But despite this, this is only an insignificant stroke in the crimes committed by Lin Yingling against her, no matter whether Lin Yingling does it or not, the final result between her and Lin Yingling is still either her death or Lin Yingling's death.
After returning to Liu's house with a sense of anger, the subordinates in the house saw that Lin Yingxue was in a hesitant mood, so all the subordinates, including Miaoqin, couldn't help but be a little careful in doing things.
"Miss, this was left by His Royal Highness when he left, saying that a girl named Hong'er was sent to the Third Prince's Mansion, saying that it would be handed over to Lin Gongzi. His Royal Highness said that this letter should be for you, so he stayed. Miao Qi came over with a letter.
There were a few small characters on the envelope - Lin Gongzi personally opened it.
Although I haven't seen Yangchun's handwriting with my own eyes, the style of this font is very similar to Yangchun, and it was sent to the Three Princes' Mansion by Hong'er, so even if Lin Yingxue doesn't open it, she knows who wrote this letter to her.
"Let it go." Lin Yingxue is now full of exhaustion, and she really doesn't have the strength to perfunctory Yangchun anymore, so she didn't open the letter, but just asked Miaoqi to place the letter on the desk.
"Yes." Miaoqi saw that Lin Yingxue didn't care, so she didn't take it to heart, but she put it aside and withdrew.
Half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and in this half a month, Lin Yingxue has cheered up and worked with Murong Jun to track down the murderers of Di'er and Bao, but it's a pity that the person who did it was very cautious, and they couldn't find a clue in the past half a month.
"Yingxue, do you know that your Chun'er girl has passed away?" On this day, Lin Yingxue was resting at home, and Fang Mengru's words of rushing in and covering her face suddenly made Lin Yingxue stunned.
"What?" Lin Yingxue still didn't react.
