Chu Yaocen stretched out his hand and touched his chin, and said, "But if it is as they said, combined with the situation we analyzed, how can Yao's corpse run in front of everyone?" ”

"yes, how can you make a corpse run?" Qingdi didn't know either.

Chu Yaocen thought for a while and said, "A dead person can't run, so the one who runs should be a living person." ”

Qingdi thought carefully about his words and shook his head to show that he didn't understand very well.

Chu Yaocen was about to explain to her, when he suddenly heard a maid in the yard talking loudly: "I'm so angry, I don't know how to get the clothes here, get so much mud on it, and wash all my basins of water black!" ”

Immediately afterwards, another maid persuaded her: "You be quieter, I heard people say that the second young master and the second young lady also came to our Huan Washing House today, you are careful to collide with others." ”

This washroom was full of clean clothes, bed sheets and other things, and the two maids who washed clothes were behind the sheets, so they didn't see Qingdi and Chu Yaocen. Now that the two of them heard them say such things, Qingdi wanted to pull Chu Yaocen out of here, so as not to be heard by them when he spoke.

But at this time, the angry maid spoke again: "The clothes here are still wet, as if they fell into the water, and the winter is about to freeze, and when I take the clothes, my hands are about to freeze and burst, do you say that you are angry?" ”

"Falling into the water?" Chu Yaocen repeated these words, then walked around the drying rack, walked in front of the two maids, and asked, "What were you talking about just now?" ”

Qingdi also hurried to follow him.

As soon as the two maids saw that it was Qingdi and Chu Yaocen, they hurriedly knelt down and said, "I've seen the second young master and the second young lady." ”

"Don't be polite, whose clothes do you wash, and you see that they are all mud, and they are still wet, like falling into the water?" Chu Yaocen asked one of the maids.

The maid hurriedly took out a white undershirt in the basin, shook it and handed it to Chu Yaocen to see: "It's this one, it seems to be a subordinate in the old man's yard, and I brought it over this morning." ”

Chu Yaocen looked at the clothes, saw that a basin of water was blackened by silt, frowned, and said, "It seems that it really fell into the water." ”

After hearing this, Qingdi looked down at the basin of water, and suddenly saw something floating in the basin, so she reached out and took the thing, only to find that it was a withered yellow leaf.

"This is a dry camphor leaf, and we only have a section by the lake, planted with several rows of camphor trees." Chu Yaocen looked at the dead leaves in Qingdi's hand and said.

Qingdi nodded, "Then it seems that this person also fell into the river." ”

After Chu Yaocen heard this, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, and in an instant, some things that could not be explained clearly had answers, if it was really what he guessed......

Chu Yaocen asked the maid again: "I remember that the clothes of our Chu family, in order to avoid mistakes, the names are embroidered on the cuffs, right?" ”

The maid nodded hurriedly: "Yes." ”

Chu Yaocen took the underwear, looked at the name on the cuffs, and asked, "Is the outer garment that matches the underwear there?" ”

The two maids got up and rummaged through the pile of clothes, and came back after a while and said, "Back to the second young master, it's really strange that this person didn't bring his coat to wash it." ”

"Well, I see, you guys go to work." Chu Yaocen nodded and ordered them, then turned to Qingdi and said, "Let's go to the lake again." ”

Qingdi answered, and went to the lake with Chu Yaocen. Qingdi saw that Chu Yaocen had made a discovery just now, so he asked him, "Yaocen, what did you find?" ”

"A guess can make Yao's death reasonable." Chu Yaocen said: "Yao's death at the beginning, when he ran out of the car and jumped into the lake in front of everyone, it was actually a person wearing Yao's clothes, because he ran fast enough, others didn't see it clearly, so he concluded that he was Yao." After jumping in, he swam to the other side of the bridge while everyone was gathered around the bridge to look down, and got Yao's body hidden nearby into the lake. The clothes washed by the two maids just now are likely to be the person who jumped into the water by himself, and this speculation also explains that some people said that after Yao fell into the water, he heard a sound of falling water not long after. ”

Qingdi listened carefully, and after thinking about it for a while, he nodded and said, "Well, this guess looks like it should be eight or nine, and didn't you just say that you couldn't find the coat that person was wearing?" This coat is likely to have been destroyed, because after all, it was made in imitation of Yao's clothes, and it would definitely be eye-catching for him to keep. ”

"Well, we'll go find this guy in a moment and ask for clarification. Let's take a look at the bridge first. ”

The lake in the courtyard of this large family is usually used to gather wealth, especially for merchants, it has a very important auspicious meaning. Now that the Yao family has fallen into the water and still jumped into this lake, the Chu family will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable, so they invited someone to come over and do something.

The legal affairs of the house are all internal affairs and are handled by the He family. When Qingdi and Chu Yaocen arrived at the lake, the Taoist priest invited by the He family was chanting words by the lake with a sword and paper, and He was also watching reverently from the side.

Chu Yaocen and Qingdi didn't want to make anything happen to the Yao clan this time, so they wanted to bypass them, but they didn't expect the He clan to see Qingdi, so they sneered and stood up, walked up to her and said, "You caused everything, what are you still doing here?" Beware of the undead, who hated you before he died! Also, it doesn't matter if you die, the child in your belly is from our Chu family, you have to be careful! ”

Qingdi stretched out his hand to touch his abdomen and chuckled: "It's really rare, my mother-in-law actually cares about me so much, I'm so moved." But don't worry, mother-in-law, I'm upright, and I don't feel like I've done anything wrong, if she really turns into an undead, come if you want. ”

"Mother, we didn't come to quarrel with you, it's just that there are too many doubts about Yao's death, it looks like someone is framing Qingdi, but if you think about it carefully, do you think someone is framing you?" Chu Yaocen stood between Qingdi and He, and said to her: "Mother, my father has warned you many times, and my eldest brother has also secretly told you not to make a move on Qingdi." So I'm sure you won't start dealing with Qingdi at this time, right? ”

He was stunned, she was not stupid, she also knew what Chu Yaocen wanted to say, that is, there was another person in the Chu family who planned to borrow her hand to get rid of Qingdi, and then Chu Chengguan and Chu Linyuan were estranged from He, and then the person behind him sat and reaped the benefits.

But what was she going to do? Do you want to reconcile with these two people, and work with them to find out the person who is really hiding behind the scenes? Don't be stupid, the two of them don't want to say it, even if it's herself, she will feel very different in her heart. And she didn't want Qingdi and Chu Yaocen to have a good time, I wish they both died quickly!

So...... As long as she stays away from them and doesn't let the person behind the scenes get involved with her.

Yao Shi figured it out, sneered and said, "You two can do whatever you like, I don't care." ”

Chu Yaocen nodded, and then pulled the green flute and left. Qingdi seemed to be a little reluctant, and after walking away, Qingdi said to Chu Yaocen: "It's too hasty for you to say these words, right?" What is the real mastermind behind the scenes, I think there is no one else who wants to harm me except the Yao family! ”

"It's really not her this time, you don't know the He family, she is not a brainless woman, the eldest brother almost had a fight with her some time ago, and the Yao family's harm to you is also inseparable from her, on the cusp of this kind of storm, she will not immediately attack you again." Chu Yaocen rubbed her head and said, "I'll go over there and have a look, you go to the other side to see if you can find any clues left on the shore." ”

Qingdi nodded, and then separated from Chu Yaocen and went to both sides to search, Chu Yaocen found that the dead grass on the shore where he went was pressed together, and it was estimated that Yao's was fished up from here. There are no other clues.

When he finished looking, he went to Qingdi's side again, and saw Qingdi squatting on the shore and didn't know what he was doing, so he went over and asked, "What did you find?" ”

Qingdi pointed to a handprint on the shore and said, "This handprint has five fingers and is thick. It's short, not like Yao's. ”

"That's the one pretending to be Yao." Chu Yaocen pulled the green flute up and said, "The matter has been almost investigated, it looks the same as I guessed, let's meet the person who pretended to be Yao's diving later." ”

Qingdi nodded, went back to his yard, and then asked someone to call the family over.

The man was still working today, and after arriving at Chu Yaocen's side, he knelt down and saluted, and then asked, "Second Young Master, Second Young Lady, you called the slave to come over, do you have anything to order?" ”

Chu Yaocen smiled faintly and said, "Is your body quite good, you soaked in cold water for a long time last night, right?" ”

The man's face immediately showed nervousness, and he hurriedly said, "The slave doesn't understand what the second young master is talking about, the slave slept well last night." ”

"But why are the clothes you took to the washroom wet and stained with mud?"

"That'...... It was when the minion was walking from the lake last night and accidentally fell into it, and the minion hadn't actually been to the lake. ”

"Look at you, isn't this just not self-defeating? We didn't say you went to the lake. Qingdi took a sentence and asked him, "Tell me, why do you want to harm me?" ”

"The slave is wronged, the slave really doesn't have it!" The man kowtowed.

"There's no need to quibble, I've already found out all about you pretending to be Yao and jumping into the lake, do you want to hear the whole process?" Chu Yaocen's voice suddenly became cold, and he asked him like this.

As soon as the man heard that he already knew that it was the Yao clan he was pretending to be, he understood that Chu Yaocen really knew everything, so he sighed helplessly and said, "The second young master is really smart, it was indeed a slave who pretended to be Yao and jumped into the lake last night. ”

"So why are you doing this? Who instructed you, and did you kill Yao? ”
