Chu Yuqin just wanted to speak, but saw Zhu Han walk out with his officials.

"How?" Chu Yuqin asked, "Did you find anything?" ”

Zhu Han said: "It's not suicide. If she had committed suicide, she would have had a foreign body in her throat. But there was no sign of choking on the deceased's throat. This is thrown in after death. ”

"I didn't have any evidence, but I guessed seven or eight points. It's just that the jade bracelet in her hand is still there, and the person who killed her shouldn't be for money. Chu Yuqin said: "The girl inside is called Mingxue, and she is the girl in Aunt Zhu's grandmother's room. Of course, now that he is married, her husband's surname is Zhang, and she is also a subordinate of the house. Do you want to call him over and ask? ”

"This surnamed Zhang will be handed over to you for interrogation." Zhu Han said to the official next to him: "Tell me if there is any news." ”

"Master Hou just rest assured." The official said, "Then go and meet the husband of the deceased." ”

After the official left, Zhu Han looked at Zhu Xue next to him: "This girl didn't cause you trouble, right?" ”

Chu Yuqin pulled Zhu Xue out: "You ask her yourself." ”

"Ma'am." Zhu Xue was embarrassed. "The slave is just a girl, how dare you bother the Hou Ye to care?"

"You're no ordinary girl." Chu Yuqin said: "Master Hou is your cousin, speaking of which, you are a serious Miss Houfu. It's still too late to go back with Hou Ye. ”

"No kidding. I'm just a side girl. After Zhu Xue finished speaking, she said to Zhu Han: "Thank you Lord Hou for your concern." The slave will not cause trouble to the lady. ”

"Why is Zhu Xue still the ...... of the Hou Ye," the third aunt was surprised.

"Xue'er was originally from the Hou Mansion. Just like to follow me, that's why they stay by my side. When did you see me treating her like a girl? Chu Yuqin explained.

"That's really special. Good ladies don't do it, but follow you to do the things of the ring. The third aunt said. Could it be that our wife is too charming? ”

"The third aunt doesn't know. Our lady is a fairy of flowers. But whoever follows her will inevitably become more beautiful. Zhu Xue said: "Do you think I am getting better?" ”

"Look at this little mouth, it's really lovely." The third aunt smiled.

Chu Yuqin looked at Zhu Xue: "Do these two cases have anything in common?" ”

"I don't see it at the moment." Zhu Han said: "But one person died yesterday, and another person died today." This in itself is strange. Let's check it out first! ”

"Yesterday, the government also came to see the body, but I didn't ask in detail." Chu Yuqin said: "It seems that you need to worry a lot." ”

"I'll take care of it. You don't have to worry. Zhu Han said: "I also want to go to see the lake where Ming Xue's body was found." You go back first! ”

"Don't you need me with you? Although I can't explain how Mingxue died, I can help you introduce the terrain here. Chu Yuqin said.

"No, I don't. I'll just point someone to it and I'll be able to solve it. Still don't bother you. After Zhu Han finished speaking, he pointed to the servant not far away.

The servant immediately greeted him.

The third aunt looked at Zhu Han's back and said, "This Zhu Hou is an upstart, I don't know how many ladies are inquiring about him." I heard that in order to entangle him, there are still ladies who do stupid things. ”

"What does my aunt say about this? Could it be ......" Chu Yuqin looked at the third aunt with a smile.

The third aunt sneered at her: "What nonsense? ”

"Where does my aunt want to go? I mean, what sister or sister does my aunt have a crush on him? Chu Yuqin said.

"Even if there is, it's a toad that wants to eat swan meat." The third aunt sighed lightly. "Which young lady is worthy of such a good-looking fairy?"

Chu Yuqin smiled but did not speak.

What's so good about being a fairy?

It will only make people worship high, and dare not get close to half a minute.

"By the way, tell me something." The third aunt leaned over and lowered her voice. "The third prince took a lot of silver from the Duchess and left."

"Take it. That's his own mother. Isn't it natural for him to ask his own mother for money? Chu Yuqin didn't care.

"But I heard that this third prince skips class every day, and he also eats, drinks and gambles with people outside, and owes a lot of silver in the name of Lingguo Mansion." The third aunt said, "So you don't think it's okay?" ”

"What does it matter? Ling Guogong is his father. Such a mess is naturally cleaned up by his father. How can those of us who are brothers and sisters-in-law have the right to discipline him? Chu Yuqin said.

"That's right. But you're in charge of the money, so it's easy to discipline him, right? Just hold on to the money. ”

"Now that I am in charge of the silver, has he not taken it from the Duchess? This kind of thing is simply impossible to prevent. ”

The two were chatting and walking, and they happened to pass in front of Aunt Zhu's courtyard.

Chu Yuqin turned around and saw the gate just in time, and stopped.

The third aunt followed her line of sight: "What are you looking at?" ”

"We've arrived at the third aunt's yard, why don't we go in and say goodbye!" Saying that, without waiting for the third aunt to object, she walked over there.

The third aunt hesitated, but still followed.

"Auntie, we don't have to mix these things." The maidservant whispered a reminder beside her.

"I know that too. It's just that you won't be curious, won't you? The third aunt said: "Someone has someone to deal with these things, so I just join in the fun." In the early years, he was still favored, and he could still hope for a man to come back. Now that Hongyan is old, he has long lost his grace, so he will find something for himself to pass the time. ”

Zhu Xue and Qiu Yin knocked on the door.

The door opened, and an old slave saw them and hurriedly saluted.

"Mama excuses." Chu Yuqin glanced inside. "Is Grandma at home?"

"Yes." The old grandmother said: "Mingxue's girl has something like that, and my aunt is in a bad mood, and she has no appetite since yesterday." Now chanting in the small Buddha hall. ”

"Then we're going to disturb her if we come now?" The third aunt said, "Otherwise, don't bother her." ”

"Mrs. Shizi and the third aunt don't worry. Aunties and grandmothers like to be clean, but they don't drive guests out. The old lady said, "The old slave went to pour tea." ”

After the old lady left, the third aunt looked at the room.

"It's so cold here. Who would have thought that Aunt Zhu, who spoiled the Lingguo Mansion back then, would live the days of the ancient Buddha of the Qing Lantern? The third aunt said.

Chu Yuqin's gaze stayed on the painting on the opposite wall.

She always thought the painting was weird.

She walked to the wall and stopped in front of the image.

When she reached out to touch the painting, a cold voice interrupted her movements: "Why is Mrs. Shizi here?" ”

"I've seen Aunt Zhu's grandmother." Chu Yuqin turned around and saluted.

Aunt Zhu said lightly: "I'm just a concubine, but you are a fate." Don't break the old body. ”

"You are an elder, I am a junior. That's as it should be. Chu Yuqin said: "Please forgive me for coming uninvited." ”
