At this time, the west courtyard was cold.

Since Shuyu staggered back and told Ning Xiang that she was gone, Gui Mingyue frowned, and Jin Qi'er began to sobble anxiously.

The breath of the old Qiu family, who happened to hear the news, almost didn't come up, knelt beside Gui Mingyue, and cried while talking about Ning Xiang's loyalty to the young grandmother.

"Lao Qiu's family, you don't have to say it, Ning Xiang is a good girl, I know in my heart, don't worry, I will do my best to find her." Gui Mingyue said.

Lao Qiu's family wanted to say something, so they asked Grandma Cheng and Grandma Jiang to persuade them out.

Gui Mingyue is not worried in her heart, this Ning Xiang has lived in the Hou Mansion since she was a child, and she is not unfamiliar with this Bianliang City, and promised her mother to bring the pig's head meat back, but she has not returned to the house yet, and something must have happened.

"What was the situation at that time, you can say it in detail, and you must not leave a word." Gui Mingyue said to Shuyu, Lao Qiu's family had been crying just now, and she hadn't been able to ask the ins and outs of this matter.

Yinzhu'er brought a glass of water, Shuyu nodded gratefully at Yinzhuo'er, took the drink, and told the details of the scene after they left the house today.

Gui Mingyue listened carefully while drinking tea, and when she heard the end, she couldn't help asking, "When you entered the Xu family's tailor shop, who did you meet?" ”

Shuyu thought for a while and said, "They are all people from several mansions in the capital, and they took the fabric to find Tailor Xu to make new clothes. ”

Gui Mingyue nodded, the tailor shop of the Xu family is a shop that specializes in making clothes worn by some small servants, maids, and mothers-in-law, and it is natural that people from all over the mansion go there.

"Do you know all these people?" Gui Mingyue asked again.

Shuyu shook her head, she was the daughter of a local criminal minister, and she was sold to the mansion as a maid not long ago, and the people in the mansion couldn't recognize it, and they didn't care about the subordinates of Beppu in the capital.

"However, Miss Ning Xiang seems to know a few." Shuyu said, then thought about it carefully, suddenly stood up and said, "By the way, Ning Xiang seems to be chasing someone at that time......"

"Who? What does that man look like? Gui Mingyue asked anxiously, Jin Qi'er was also sweating on her hands, and looked at Shuyu eagerly.

"I don't remember...... At that time, I only cared about explaining the tailoring to the guys in the shop," Shuyu bowed her head in frustration.

"Go and let Ji Shun come," Gui Mingyue commanded.

Ji Shun used to serve by Ji Yunyi's side, and he was also a figure with a head and a face in this mansion. Later, after Gui Mingyue entered the door, Ji Yunyi asked him to be sent by Gui Mingyue in the outer courtyard.

"I've been in the eldest and youngest grandmother," after the silent and steady Ji Shun came in, he called a thousand.

Ji Shun got Gui Mingyue's order and went to knock on the door of the Xu family's tailor shop overnight.

When he was in the outer courtyard, he had already heard that the girl of the Lao Qiu family was missing, and he also kept an eye on it when he went to find the tailor shop of the Xu family.

Ji Yunyi returned to the mansion from the palace, looked at Gui Mingyue and frowned, and knew that this little girl was very liked by Yue'er, so she sent someone to search for her, and at the same time went to Jing Zhaoyin to report to the official.

A few days later, the people sent by Ji Yunyi and Jing Zhaoyin found Ning Xiang at the same time.

It was found in a mass grave.

Because she was just a maid, she couldn't be carried back to the house, so she had to find a coffin and bury it on the spot.

Lao Qiu's family fainted at that time.

The people in the entire West Courtyard felt uncomfortable, and Jin Qi'er cried the saddest.

Gui Mingyue bit the pressure groove fiercely and clenched her fists, bound to avenge Ning Xiang.

"Grandma, let's eat, it's been a day, the rice hasn't been touched, and the body is important." Grandma Cheng wiped away her tears and said, "Ning Xiang's girl is innocent, and she didn't suffer much sin when she said it." ”

Ning Xiang was hit to the fatal part of the back of the head by a blunt object, causing death. When her body was found, her clothes were quite neat, and the silver taels and jewelry on her body were also there.

But who the perpetrator was, he disappeared completely, whether it was Jing Zhaoyin or Ji Yunyi, they didn't find out a clue.

According to the news that Ji Shun came back from the Xu family's tailor shop that day, Ji Yunyi sent people to the Meng University Scholar's Mansion, the Taifu Temple Qing Yuan Mansion, and the Household Member's Wailang Mansion...... Even the old Song Guogong's mansion did not find anything suspicious in the end.

Just when Gui Mingyue was at a loss and couldn't find the slightest clue, something big happened in the Zhenguo Hou Mansion.

Old Madam Ji came back from Yuntai Mountain.

Coming back with her was the only eldest daughter in this mansion, Ji Yini, and a rare smile appeared on the eldest lady's face.

In addition to Ji Yini, there is also a girl who is very popular with the old lady, her name is Cai Wei, who was accepted by the old lady as a godgranddaughter because she saved the old lady's life a few years ago.

For Mrs. Ji, Ji Yunyi has a complicated emotion in her heart.

When he was young, he respected and loved him and thought he was an old man who could be relied on, but the things that happened later were also vivid, and he used to hate her in his heart, and now Ji Yunyi is strong enough, so he can no longer talk about hate, let alone dependence.

It's just that this old lady is different from other people in the house, and she has a sense of respect.

Gui Mingyue was dressed up by Grandma Cheng and others, wearing a red sprinkled flower shirt, a dark green carved silk and a lotus crepe skirt, the skirt was tied with a stone blue tape, and a pair of double butterfly jade pendants with no flaws were tied on the tapestry. A moon-white large-sleeved soft smoke jacket, with a Pixiu pattern on the neck, and a moon white cloud pattern embroidered with icing on the cake and a crane with fire fox fur trim on the outside.

The head is combed with a Ruyi short bun, and the low bun is hung with gold silk agate beads and swaying, and a small button bead dot green crane-shaped crown is worn on the head.

The eyes are fluttering obliquely, the lips are like petals, and the complexion is like clotted fat, which is whiter than ordinary women.

The end is luxurious and speechless, and it is amazing.

Ji Yunyi walked out of the house with satisfaction, her eyes were full of pride and pampering.

"Wow, grandma is so beautiful, beautiful and majestic." The maids were amazed.

Isn't it majestic, to this day, Gui Mingyue is still frowning, and what is brewing in her eyes is anger and grievance that she can't avenge Ning Xiang.

"The old lady likes festive colors the most, and hates women for being frivolous and undignified...... It's the eldest and youngest grandmother in the house again, it's better to be luxurious and majestic, and it's better to be luxurious and majestic. Grandma Cheng and Grandma Jiang beside her whispered.

"But there is still a princess in Nanyuan, I can't go past her," Grandma Jiang said worriedly.

"Where can the one who has a body and a face full of bitterness all day long?" Grandma Cheng said disdainfully.

Grandma Cheng hates Nanyuan's pretentious style the most, don't look at her self-esteem in her life, her mind is vicious, not only is she harsh on her subordinates, but I heard that Rurong, who used to be an aunt from the West Courtyard, was bullied by her.

Let's say that Nanyuan is also preparing to meet the old lady.

"Hey, I said you guys hurry up, comb your hair, half an hour has passed, it's all waste!" After having a body, Lin Zhanmei's temperament changed greatly, and he became extremely angry and sensitive.

"Yes, princess," the pregnant princess's hair fell out more and more, and the little maid didn't dare to say much, for fear of angering her, so she had to tremble and tuck her hair into her sleeves.

"What about the son? Why haven't you come yet. Lin Zhan frowned and asked.

"Back to the words of the princess, the prince of the world ...... Go to Aunt Ru'......," said the other maid, bowing her head and muffling her voice.

"Smack!" Lin Zhanmei slammed the hosta in his hand on the dresser, and the hosta cracked in response......

"This is your most beloved hairpin, and you shouldn't be angry with it if you are angry." Grandma Lin sighed, came up and picked up the hosta that was broken in half, she was Lin Zhanmei's dowry grandmother, and her nurse, she knew Lin Zhanmei's temperament.

"Grandma, what kind of tricks did you say that Rurong's cheap maid used to confuse the prince to go to her every day." Lin Zhan said hatefully.

"Concubine Shizi," Grandma Lin hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade her, this Rurong is now an aunt, how can she shout a cheap maid, and no matter what she heard, the most important rules on the old lady's side.

These days, Grandma Lin has also seen it, don't look at this soft and weak appearance of her aunt, in fact, she has given him eye medicine from the prince, so the prince is more and more reluctant to come to the princess's room.

Lin Zhanmei did not wait for the son, so he could only go to the north courtyard where the eldest lady was located in a huff accompanied by Grandma Lin.

On the way, I met two people from the West Courtyard.

Originally, everyone in this house rushed to the old lady in the north courtyard, but the road was very quiet, Ji Yunyi couldn't help but take Gui Mingyue's hand again, and walked along the way.

Ignoring Grandma Cheng, she was coughing and frowning in the back.

Gui Mingyue had something on his mind, so he also let him take it.

The two of them passed in front of Lin Zhanmei like this, and Gui Mingyue only thought about the murder of Ning Xiang in her heart, and Ji Yunyi had always had no one in her eyes, and her eyes were only staring at her daughter-in-law.

Therefore, no one noticed Lin Zhanmei, a big living person.

Lin Zhanmei almost vomited out of his heart, and his eyes were even more angry as he watched the two people who ignored him like this walking away.

After walking away, Gui Mingyue asked, "Grandma Cheng is cold, and I only heard your cough along the way." ”

"The old slave doesn't have a cold, it's just that maybe the young grandmother didn't notice it, and she met the princess on the road...... "No matter what, it's always bad to say hello and not fight."

"Oh, I saw her, and she looked more and more hideous." Gui Mingyue said lightly.

Grandma Cheng was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help coughing fiercely again.

Come to think of it, it's really cold.

"Grandma, what a coincidence." On the way, I met the sixth aunt again.

"Yes, Aunt Six, what a coincidence." Gui Mingyue nodded and said hello.

The sixth aunt looked left and right to see that there was no one, so she leaned close to Gui Mingyue's ear and said, "I heard about it, but it's a pity, Ning Xiang is a loyal and good girl." ”

The sixth aunt sighed, and said again, a few days ago, this maid saw that her master was worried about the affairs of the fifth and seventh aunts, and she went to find herself to inquire about the two aunts.

Gui Mingyue raised her head suddenly, and asked, "Did she ask you about those two aunts?"

The sixth aunt nodded, and the color behind her became unpredictable, and said slowly, the concubine was puzzled, Ning Xiang, the little girl, was a little arrogant in the past, but no one wanted her life......

A flash of inspiration flashed in Gui Mingyue's mind, grabbed the arm of the sixth aunt, and asked Do you know something?

A trace of panic flashed in the sixth aunt's eyes, and then she closed her mouth and shook her head, Gui Mingyue saw that she seemed to have something unspeakable, and in this Hou Mansion Courtyard, it was inevitable that there would be someone listening to the corner.

Gui Mingyue didn't ask any more.
