Chapter 216: Doubts
This scene of deep love between master and servant is really touching to watch, Xiao Changle cried profusely, tears sliding down his cheeks, and tears were rolling in those watery eyes.
Xiao Changge circled around but didn't find anything, and then his eyes fell on Li'er.
Obviously, Zhu'er has soothed people to sleep, how could she suddenly not think of committing suicide?
There was a lot of crying, and the maids who watched the excitement just watched blankly, not knowing what to do.
They are not familiar with Li'er, they can't cry if they want to, it can be seen that even Xiao Changle is crying, it's not good for them to stand like this, think about it. The maids all cried along.
The whole room was filled with crying, and the more I listened to it, the more annoying it became.
"Why are you crying, why don't you go back to your room?"
Xiao Changle wiped away his tears and looked up at the group of maids and shouted, the more she cried, the more annoyed she became, and when Xiao Changle shouted like this, those people stopped their tears, nodded again and again, and then left in a hurry.
If Xiao Changle hadn't come, they wouldn't have wanted to stay in this house for a minute longer, this dead man's house would be very gloomy.
Inside, there were a few people left.
"Miss, don't be too sad, you will definitely be worried if you know it like this."
Jun Shu put the cloak on Xiao Changle's body, knelt beside her and said.
At this time, Xiao Changge noticed her, she heard Zhu'er say that Xiao Changle quickly found a maid to replace Li'er's position, but she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.
With a good face, melon seed face, clear eyebrows, and beautiful eyes, it can be seen from the eyes like a fox that this is a clever girl.
"Sister Changge, why do you think Li'er can't think about it like this? I'll wait for her to get better and continue to serve me. ”
Xiao Changle took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears on her cheeks, her body was already extremely cold, and she looked panicked.
"My sister asked me, how do I know? If you want to ask, you have to ask Li'er herself. ”
Those eyes seemed to have insight into what Xiao Changle was thinking, the yin wind was blowing, and the candle flame swayed from side to side, spitting out these words from Xiao Changge's mouth, especially in the middle of the night, which made people scared.
Now that Li'er is dead, Xiao Changge asked her to ask Li'er, isn't that cursing her to death?
"Although I know that my sister doesn't like me on weekdays, I didn't expect that sister, you hate me so much in your heart that you cursed me to death."
Xiao Changle said, the tears fell like beads with broken threads, and it was useless for anyone to persuade them.
Jun Shu was in a hurry, and wiped his tears for Xiao Changle.
Only Xiao Changge was indifferent, and suddenly she sneered a few times, and her eyes were staring at Xiao Changle.
Xiao Changle's words put all the responsibility on her, what did she call her unpleasant? It was Xiao Changle who obviously wanted to put her to death.
If there were other people here who heard Xiao Changle's words, they didn't know what they would think of her.
"Sister, you are laughing, how can I look at you unpleasantly? The favorite thing in this house is my sister, how can I have the courage to get along with my sister? ”
"Everyone in the house, including grandma, treats our sisters equally, isn't my sister saying that they are all partial to me?"
Xiao Changle stared, and his courage grew a little.
"What do you say?"
His lips were slightly open, and his voice was very flat.
She threw this question to Xiao Changle, Xiao Changle smiled lightly: "Sister, don't talk nonsense, if it reaches the ears of others, I'm afraid it will anger a lot of people, fortunately, only you and I are here today." ”
Xiao Changle looked like he was thinking about Xiao Changge, but Xiao Changge's face was still cold, and he didn't have any expression.
"My sister reminds me that I'm too cautious."
Xiao Changge smiled faintly, but this smile made people feel weird.
Junshu looked at Xiao Changge, she heard about Xiao Changge outside when she didn't enter the mansion, and she didn't think that it was really similar to the rumors outside, and it was a little inconsistent.
This made her interested in Xiao Changge.
"By the way, I originally gave this bottle of spiritual ointment to Li'er, but now that Li'er is gone, this thing should be returned to its original owner."
As if he suddenly thought of something, Xiao Changge took out a medicine bottle from his arms and handed it to Xiao Changle.
Xiao Changle raised her eyebrows and looked wary, she swallowed her saliva but didn't take it for a long time.
"How can there be any reason to take back what was sent? Besides, has Li'er used it? The things used by this dead man are a little unlucky, and my sister persuades my sister to throw them away. ”
Xiao Changle also glanced at Li'er a few times when he said this, and spoke cautiously, with a look of disgust.
Xiao Changge's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth opened a smile.
"Again, the dead man's use is very obscure."
Is Xiao Changle hiding it too well, or did she misunderstand Xiao Changle? Looking at Xiao Changle's appearance, it was as if he didn't know that other things were involved in this spiritual ointment.
This thing is really strange.
"Miss, miss."
Just as Xiao Changle wanted to open his mouth and ask Xiao Changge to throw away the bottle, the voice of an old man broke into their ears, and then an old man of fifty or sixty years old hurriedly stepped into the house.
He was wearing only a thin coat, and his steps were hurried, as if he had been woken up in his sleep.
"Miss, what's going on?"
After Xiao Fu entered the house, he rubbed his eyes, only to see clearly who the person lying on the ground was, and when he saw the person lying on the ground, the original sleepiness was gone.
Xiao Fu lost his sleepiness, pointed to the person on the ground and asked tremblingly, it seemed that she was also frightened by Li'er.
"Housekeeper, you let Li'er be buried first, how could Li'er not think about it like this."
As he spoke, those two lines of tears fell again, as if he was really sad.
Xiao Fu nodded hurriedly and sighed, it was inevitable that people would be killed in the middle of the night, and he himself was a little scared.
"Yes, I immediately had Li'er buried."
Xiao Fu lifted the corner, and the old feet were shaking even when he walked, and he seemed to be frightened.
"Sister, don't notify Li'er's family?"
Xiao Changge raised his eyebrows and asked, this person's death is a big deal, how can he not inform his family?
"Miss doesn't know, Li'er is an orphan."
Zhu Er approached Xiao Changge's side and whispered, which surprised Xiao Changge.
She thought it was ......
"Yes, Li'er is an orphan, and she has been working in the theater when she didn't enter the Xiao Mansion, and then the theater closed down, and Li'er was also sold into the mansion."
Xiao Changle followed, she and Li'er have been in a master-servant relationship for many years, and Li'er was personally selected by her at the beginning, so how could she not remember?
Xiao Changge raised his eyebrows, he had some questions in his heart but didn't ask them.
How could the Xiao Mansion accept orphans of unknown origin? Regardless of the rest, what about those who work in the theater, but before? Didn't Xiao Fu find out about these?
"I see, orphans, and pitiful."
Xiao Changge let out a long sigh, Xiao Changle lowered his head, and a trace of impatience flashed in his eyes.
After Xiao Fu called someone to carry Li'er's body out, Xiao Changle and Jun Shu said goodbye to Xiao Changge and went back to his house.
Inside the Jinyu Pavilion
Xiao Changle's face changed when he came back.
"Why did you die in a good way? It's really unlucky, Junshu, please help me get some hot water, I want to bathe and change clothes, this body is dirty. ”
Xiao Changle lowered his head and sniffed his sleeves, and said with a look of disgust.
"Miss, Junshu has already put water for you, and the clothes have been prepared for Miss."
When Jun Shu saw Xiao Changle mention it, she flattered.
"You're much smarter than Li'er, it's okay for Li'er to die, otherwise I don't know what to do with her, and it's dirty to stay in the house, look at her face, tsk."
Xiao Changle got up and shook his head, extremely disgusted.
Now that Li'er is gone, it's a matter of her heart, otherwise she will be kicked out of the house, and someone will say that she doesn't care about people.
"It's far worse than Junshu with Sister Li'er, and you still need to learn."
Jun Shu bowed his head and said modestly, seeing her like this, Xiao Changle became more and more pleasing to the eye, this girl is really much smarter than Li'er.
It's like a roundworm in her stomach, and she knows what to do before she says it.
Inside the small courtyard on the west side
I'm afraid that the news of Li'er's suicide will be spread tomorrow, and the house where Li'er lives now has been locked up by the housekeeper, and this dead room should not let those maids live.
"Zhu'er, how was Li'er's mood before you left?"
was troubled by Li'er's incident, and everyone must have lost the mood to sleep.
The rooster crowed, and the sky gradually brightened a little.
"Her mood is stable, Zhu'er only left after watching her fall asleep, Miss blames me for this, if I don't leave, it will be fine."
Her bloated and red eyes began to weep again, and she blamed herself for the mention of it.
Zhu Er blamed herself in her heart, if she hadn't left and stayed there, Li'er wouldn't have died.
"You can keep it for a while, but you can't keep it for a lifetime, if she really doesn't want to live, it's useless to keep an eye on her at any time, so there's no need to blame yourself, you did a good job."
Xiao Changge saw that Zhu Er's eyes were red and swollen from crying, how could he not feel distressed.
Zhu Er wiped her tears and stopped them.
In that case, how could she not think of hanging herself in the middle of the night? Furthermore, where did the white silk come from? ”
Xiao Changge frowned and thought, Zhu Er was stunned when she heard this, and looked at Xiao Changge's serious appearance with wide eyes.
"What do you mean, Miss?"
Red Sleeves, who was standing on the side, asked, as if she had something else to mean when she heard her young lady say this.
"Nothing, maybe I'm overthinking it."
Xiao Changge shook her head, reached out and rubbed her forehead, she should have thought too much.
Maybe this white silk was put in the house a long time ago? Not to mention, only one chair in the room was kicked to the ground, and nothing else had changed its position.
"By the way, how can this house accept maids of unknown origin?"
The first time she heard this in the mansion, she came out of the theater and was sold, so shouldn't her previous life experience also be investigated?
"It's because of ......"
Red Sleeves and Zhu Er glanced at each other, Red Sleeves bit their lips, lowered their heads and muttered a few words in Xiao Changge's ear.
Xiao Changge raised his eyebrows, which also made some sense.
"So there are a lot of orphans in our house, even if something happens in the future, it will save a lot of trouble."
