Back in the house, the subordinates everywhere couldn't avoid Gongsun Lan when they saw her, and they really couldn't hide, so they could only salute her, for fear that she would make a move to click herself if she didn't agree. Seeing this, Yuexi was angry, walked up to a little girl and stomped her foot hard. The little girl screamed "ah" in fright, threw the things in her hand and ran away, her legs and feet were probably the sharpest in her life.

"You!" Ji Erlan looked at the moon and shook her head helplessly.

Yuexi glanced at the ice porridge that the little girl fell on the ground, all kinds of flesh and petals mixed with fine ice ballast, in addition to adding lotus seeds, almonds and other things, in a transparent glass bowl, beautiful and delicious. She sighed twice and said, "The ladies in the house seem to like to eat this kind of thing?" ”

Gongsun Lan looked at the things that were sprinkled on the ground, his eyes were meaningful, and he said: "The summer in Yasukuni is very hot, and it is understandable that you like to eat these things to relieve the heat. However, only the big families can survive the ice for the whole summer. Ordinary people must not be able to eat it. ”

When they arrived at the temple, Twilight was already waiting for them. "Miss, that Lianyue threw herself into the well and died."

"Dead?" Gongsun Lan's expression was not strange at all, as if it had been expected. Yuexi asked on the side, "Could it be that the murderer is her?" Are you so frightened that you commit suicide now? ”

Twilight shook her head and said, "The girls in our yard have become very honest after what happened last night, and they will answer all questions. I asked about this lotus moon carefully, and it was said that she was originally serving in the courtyard of the third lady, and was later assigned to the sixth lady. The slave maid felt that the sixth lady said that she would kill Lianyue with a cane, but she just saw that this girl was unpleasant and wanted her to carry the black pot. As a result, Lianyue was not disposed of, and Miss Six died first. So...... The person who provoked Miss Six was anxious and wanted to sit on Lianyue's sin, lest Miss find out about her and be hated by Aunt Lin. ”

Gongsun Lan changed into homely civilian clothes, fanned it gently, and said: "After all, it was the one who indirectly killed Gongsun Ying, even if the other party is not afraid of Aunt Lin's resentment, he is also afraid of making a faceless trouble." ”

"Miss thinks, isn't this person the one who poisoned him?"

"It must not be, otherwise it would be too much to kill Lianyue."

Twilight thought for a moment and said, "What Miss said is that it must be the person who provoked Gongsun Ying who has no bottom in his heart, so he will kill Lianyue." That...... Does the young lady have a bottom in her heart about the snow spider? ”

Gongsun Lan's mind came to mind of the night when the ice porridge had just been spilled on the ground, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I have already thought of the other party's method of poisoning, but this person is not quite sure who it is." Let's go to Gongsun Ying's yard and have a look. ”

Gongsun Ying died at a young age and could not stop his spirit in the mansion, so he should have been buried immediately after the ceremony. But when it comes to the murder, everyone is still discussing how to deal with Gongsun Ying's body, after all, the summer is hot and cannot be preserved for a long time.

When Gongsun Lan walked into Tinglan Garden, Aunt Lin was standing in the ink-colored coffin in despair, and several maids knelt on the side and wept sadly, among which the two big girls around Gongsun Ying, Su Xiang and Su Xin, were crying especially badly.

"Aunt Lin's Day mourns."

When everyone heard the sound, they all looked up and saw the door, and when they saw that it was Gongsun Lan, they immediately showed a frightened look. Aunt Lin's godless eyes gradually condensed hatred, and she sneered: "You still dare to come here? ”

Gongsun Lan didn't care about this kind of painless verbal attack at all, but she didn't need to give a good face to someone who didn't respect her, she looked at Aunt Lin and said, "If you think I'm a murderer, you have to come up with evidence, otherwise, please put away this face." If you want to avenge your daughter, you have to have a long brain, otherwise, you will only make the enemy applaud. ”

Aunt Lin trembled angrily, but Gongsun Lan ignored her and walked directly inside. The purpose is not Gongsun Ying's boudoir, but the subordinate room on one side. Everyone was stunned, Aunt Lin frowned and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

When Gongsun Lan heard Aunt Lin's question, she didn't answer, but only glanced back at Su Xin and Su Xiang. said: "Su Xiang, which one is yours?" ”

Su Xiang's face was extremely bad, she cowardly stretched out her finger, and then hurriedly got up and ran over, opened the door and led Gongsun Lan in. "Is Fifth Miss suspicious of slaves?"

Gongsun Lan looked at her expression and said, "With this expression of yours, do you think I'm going to find you as a substitute for the dead ghost?" ”

Su Xiang's face changed greatly, and she quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, saying, "The slave didn't mean that, please forgive the fifth lady." ”

Gongsun Lan said: "Don't worry, since I am here, I am naturally sure to find evidence." Since evidence can be found, there is no need to find a substitute for the dead. If the murderer wasn't you, you'd be fine. ”

"Can you find evidence?" Aunt Lin suspiciously followed her into Su Xiang's house and asked.

Gongsun Lan replied while inspecting the surroundings: "As soon as someone chewed the root of the tongue in the ear of the sixth sister, the murderer arranged a drama of planting blame. At the same time, she can accurately grasp the mentality of the sixth sister, this person must be someone who is very familiar with her and can know her every move. ”

Aunt Lin thought about it, looked at the servant girls around her, but still sneered: "You don't have to be pretentious, I won't believe you until you find the evidence!" ”

"Don't worry, after all, the snow spider is Da'an's thing, and I naturally have a way to find the murderer and use the remaining snow spider!"

"The rest?!" Aunt Lin was shocked: "What do you mean, there are still that kind of things in this yard?" ”

Gongsun Lan looked back at her, her eyes followed Aunt Lin's haggard face and looked out of the room intentionally or unintentionally, and she saw a flash of panic on Su Xin's face. She smiled, "Let's go to Frangipani's room again." ”

Seeing this, Su Xin also quickly got up and followed, her room was not much different from Su Xiang. As a first-class girl next to Gongsun Ying, the treatment is naturally better than other subordinates, although there are no particularly valuable things, there is no shortage of things that should be there, and there are a few exquisite small objects.

On the small table under the flower window, a half-dried pink peony flower, with a few petals and leaves scattered, mixed with the wax oil dripping from the candlestick on the side, actually has some messy beauty. Frangipani looked sad and said: "The slave and maid have been afraid of the dark since they were children, and the young lady feels sorry for the slave and the maid, and usually allows the slave and the maid to use a few more candles, and this candlestick is also rewarded by the young lady." ”

Everyone else seemed to know about it, and they didn't show anything unusual. Ji Erlan glanced at Frangipani, picked up the candlestick and looked at it carefully, and chuckled: "Frangipani, do you know where you showed your flaws?" ”

The people around were shocked when they heard this, Aunt Lin turned her head to look at Su Xin, Su Xin seemed to be scared away, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Auntie, Fifth Miss, how can you be a slave maid......

The old lady Gongsun and the others hurried over when they got the news, and they just happened to see this scene when they entered the door.

But Gongsun Lan didn't explain much, nor did she listen to Su Xin's argument, a bone knife in her sleeve slipped out and was pinched in her hand, everyone only felt that their eyes were slight, and before they could see her movements clearly, the two red candles on the candlestick had been broken into two. Others didn't understand what was going on, but Su Xin was stunned, and a fine cold sweat suddenly oozed from her forehead.

Gongsun Lan looked at her condescendingly and said, "When the sixth sister fell to the ground last night, your first reaction was not to help her, but to turn around and run out, for what?" There must be two reasons, one is that you want to publicize this matter and make a big fuss, and the other is that you are afraid that I will kill you in a fit of anger, right? In contrast, Suka reacts much more than you normally would. ”

Su Xin's face turned pale, and she didn't seem to think that Gongsun Lan's mind was so delicate, she defended: "It's really wrong for the slave and maid to leave the master, but the slave and maid were just frightened and ran out in a panic, which doesn't mean that the slave and maid are the murderers...... The slave doesn't know what's going on with the inside of this candle, someone must have framed the slave and maid......"

"Oh? Is there something in the candle? Aunt Lin, do you see what's inside the candle? ”

When Su Xin heard her rhetorical question, she immediately froze in place with her mouth open. Aunt Lin looked at the broken candle suspiciously, but she didn't see anything, so she stepped forward and looked down at the broken candle carefully. Then everyone noticed that Aunt Lin's face suddenly turned an unusually terrifying pale, as if she had seen something terrible. She gasped and stepped back sharply, knocking the maidservants behind her into a stumble and almost falling!

Mrs. Gongsun and the others all looked at Aunt Lin suspiciously, but Aunt Lin didn't care about answering, and stammered: "This, what is this!" ”

The dense transparent dots made her scalp explode.

Ji Erlan looked at Frangipani and said, "Frangipani, what is this?" ”

The cold sweat on Frangipani's forehead became more and more, running down her cheeks and mixing with the fat powder on her face, looking very embarrassed. If she could still quibble before that this candle was planted by Gongsun Lan, but she took the initiative to say it herself, there would be no room for justification. She tensed, gritted her teeth and glanced at Gongsun Lan, and suddenly closed her eyes. Just as she was about to bite the mouth poisoning pill, someone suddenly pinched her chin!

Yuexi sneered and took out the poison pill hidden under her tongue and motioned to everyone: "She wants to kill herself!" ”

If you didn't do something wrong, why did you kill yourself?

The third lady, Tan, looked at Frangipani in surprise and wondered, "Is it Frangipani?" ”

Frangipani knew that she was exposed, and the poison pill was taken away again, and she shrank aside without saying a word. The old lady glanced at her coldly, turned her head to look at Gongsun Lan, and asked, "Five girls, you explain things carefully from beginning to end." ”

Gongsun Lan nodded, picked up a severed candle, motioned to everyone, and said, "Here, there are countless snow wandering spiders, don't doubt it, they are all alive." ”

The people around him got closer and saw the dense transparent dots, and their hairs stood on end, and the eldest lady Xue stroked her arm and said in horror: "These are snow spiders?" Is it alive? ”
