Chapter 21: The earrings worked
Yes!
The next moment, the cat suddenly jumped out of Wan Ying's arms, pounced on Hibiscus's legs, and then slipped past her legs, and ran into the corner of the house.
Hibiscus was startled by its sudden movement, and after screaming, his legs hurriedly dodged back, almost not falling, and after barely standing still, he blushed and turned white in embarrassment.
Wan Ying looked at the hibiscus's face and said in her heart: This hibiscus seems to be very afraid of Mimi! The cat that scratched her ears was Mimi! But why did she say she didn't know?
"Sister Hibiscus, are you alright?" Chunhua hurriedly stepped forward to hold Hibiscus's arm and said.
"It's okay, it's okay. The cat's sudden movement just now startled me. Hibiscus squeezed out a smile and said.
"Hibiscus was scratched by a cat on the ear, so I guess I have a fear of cats." Wan Ying stared at her and smiled, and sure enough, she saw that Hibiscus was stunned for a moment, and then returned to normal.
"Probably, yes. Let Gege smile. Mu Hibiscus suppressed the panic in her heart and forced a happy face.
Wan Ying didn't ask any more, so she asked Chunhua to help herself, and went out of Mingyue Xuan with Hibiscus and went to the main courtyard.
Along the way, Hibiscus walked in front of Wanying's master and servant.
Wan Ying held Chunhua's arm, looking at the back of the hibiscus in front of her, thinking about the earrings.
"Hibiscus, did you drop an earring?" Wan Ying decided to test the temptation, so she simply asked directly.
"How does Gege know? Slave maid, slave maid is a black pearl earring. Hibiscus stopped, turned around, and looked at Wan Ying and Chun Hua Dao.
Chunhua couldn't help but look at Wan Ying in surprise, but saw that her own Gege had clear eyes, and she took out the small black pearl earrings from her sleeve slowly.
"But this one?" Wan Ying said, thinking: Bumper, there is always good luck!
Hibiscus was even more surprised. The maids in the courtyard of Fujin do all wear pearl earrings, but the color of each person's pearl earrings is different, so Mu Hibiscus recognized at a glance that the earring in Wan Ying's hand was the one she dropped not long ago.
"These earrings belong to a slave maid. Where did Gege pick it up? Hibiscus asked.
"I did pick it up. I found these earrings by the pond in the garden. Hibiscus, have you been there? Wan Ying stared at Hibiscus's surprised face and said.
"No, the slaves haven't been there lately. No way, these earrings can't have landed there. This time, Hibiscus shook her head firmly. She was sure that the place where the earring had been left would not be there, because she hadn't been
Pass.
Wan Ying stared at Hibiscus's face and used the subtle expression reading method that her grandfather had taught her to read the girl's face.
When Hibiscus saw the earrings, her jaw drooped, her lips and mouth relaxed, her eyes widened, and her eyelids and eyebrows slightly raised, in line with her surprised mood.
When she denies going to the pond where Ah Cai had an accident, the micro-expression traits show that Hibiscus is not lying, at least not in any part of her face that matches the characteristics of a micro-emoji liar.
If she's good at disguising, unless this hibiscus is a master of lying.
Odd! An earring that wasn't supposed to be in that place at the scene of the crime?
"Hibiscus, Acai died in that pond, and your earrings were right where she fell into the water. What does this mean? Wan Ying said lightly.
After hearing Wan Ying say this, Chunhua on the side almost jumped out of her heart with excitement.
Mu Hibiscus was so nervous that her face turned white, how could she not understand the meaning of Wan Ying's words!! Fu Jin is investigating the cause of Ah Cai's girl's death, if her death is related to herself at this moment, it is related to the main courtyard......
"Dong Gege, there is only one possibility for these earrings, and that is that someone threw them there. It must be like this. Hibiscus suddenly became nervous and shouted, "There is absolutely no way that the slave will leave it there." ”
Mu Hibiscus understands that if he can't get rid of the relationship with Ah Cai's death at the moment, then Fu Jin will ......
At that time, the fourth master was writing in the study. After reading the court newspaper in the imperial court, he usually asked Su Peisheng to lay out the paper and write to meditate.
"Lord Belle, Mama Zhuang, please see you!" After Su Peisheng listened to the little eunuch's report from the door, he walked lightly back to the fourth master bowed his head and bowed his waist.
"Let her in!" The fourth master said while writing.
After a while, the wooden door carved with auspicious clouds in vermilion nanmu was gently pushed open from the outside.
The woman in a brown and purple skirt walked lightly to the fourth master's desk, it was Grandma Zhuang who saved Wanying from the Li family's troubles that day.
"Say hello to Lord Baylor." Mama Zhuang lowered her eyes and asked for peace.
"What?" The fourth master asked.
"Fujin got a report from the side, saying that Rue Xiang from Huafang went to the main courtyard to testify that Ah Cai's death was related to Dong Gege. Fujin has already let people pass Dong Gege. Mama Zhuang lowered her head and reported.
The fourth master suddenly held his hand, and just as a drop of ink dripped from the end of the thick black brush.
"And how did you find out?" The fourth master said.
"Lord Belle, Ah Cai owes a lot of silver. According to the old slave's secret visit, her monthly money was always insufficient, so she borrowed silver from everywhere. Mama Zhuang said.
"A slave in a flower house, why can't she make ends meet?" The fourth master frowned and said, "You won't drink and gamble with them, right?" ”
"The old slave is investigating. Lord Belle, Dong Gege doesn't know if he can deal with it, does the old slave want to go over? Mama Zhuang glanced at the fourth master cautiously and said.
It turned out that the fourth master had asked Mama Zhuang to secretly investigate Ah Cai's overboard, and asked her to secretly help Mingyuexuan. Mama Zhuang got the news from the main courtyard, so she immediately came to report it. Because she knew that the Dong family was the fourth master's favorite, and if something went wrong, she would not do a good job in helping her.
Judging from the confrontation between the Dong family and Li Fang Fujin that day, the Dong family has become smarter!
"Go over and take a look!" The fourth master put down the brush in his hand, turned around and walked out of the red sandalwood circle chair.
Su Peisheng and Mama Zhuang quickly exchanged glances, each said no more, one hurriedly followed, and the other breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Wan Ying happened to walk to the main courtyard with Chunhua and Hibiscus. It's just that the hibiscus didn't walk in front anymore, but walked on the edge of the spring flowers with a heavy face.
"Dong Gege, the slave maid should go first and report to Fu Jin." Hibiscus Road.
"No, I'd like to see what Rue Xiang and that Gao Wai have to say. Hibiscus, you'd better think about where your earrings have landed. Wan Ying reminded her.
It turned out that Wan Ying took advantage of the moment when Hibiscus was panicked and asked why Fu Jin summoned herself at this moment.
The six gods who were stirred by the earrings naturally said everything.
Mu Hibiscus was full of worries, but she didn't want to go to Fu Jin to make it clear at this moment, so she could only wait for the opportunity to report this matter to Fu Jin.
