"Yes, old slave, I once served the eldest lady."

"Then how did you get to my mother's side?"

Lu Xiyi bent down and stared into her eyes, only eyes would not lie and deceive.

"The old slave later got instructions from the eldest lady to take care of Aunt Liu, who was in confinement, and Aunt Liu's body was already weak, and she would be seriously ill if she suffered a little cold."

Aunt Hua said angrily: "Although Madame's body is weak, she will not fall down because of a little wind and cold, it must be that the eldest lady told you something, what do you know?" If you don't tell the truth, I can only escort you to the Yamen Mansion!" ”

Lu Xiyi looked at Aunt Hua interfering on the side, if she had been here, she would not be able to ask any more, Lu Xiyi got up and looked at Aunt Hua and said, "Aunt Hua will leave it to me here, you go back to rest first." ”

"How can this work? Xiuqin, you hurry up and tell me the truth, how did Madam die, does it have anything to do with you? ”

"It has nothing to do with me, even if I hide something, it's all confessed by the eldest lady, she was actually poisoned to death......"

Zhang Xiuqin lowered her head with a repentant face, and began to cry out in grief and speechlessness, thinking of her daughter Ding Lan, and thinking of all kinds of mistakes made in the past.

"Poisoning, what poison?"

Lu Xiyi hurriedly grabbed her sleeve and asked, Zhang Xiuqin stopped sobbing, looked at the tears on the faces of the two and said: "One day, Aunt Liu fell ill again, and then the doctor prescribed some prescriptions, and she died after taking the pills.

Later, he died because of malaria, but I knew that the pill was manipulated by the eldest lady, and it contained highly toxic mercury. ”

As soon as the words fell, Lu Xiyi felt a thunderbolt sounding in front of him, and he almost fainted, Aunt Hua quickly helped her to the side, and said, "Miss, are you okay?" ”

Lu Xiyi's face was pale, as if he was frozen from head to toe, Xiao Xue and Shen Zhuosi on the side looked at each other, Xiao Xue sighed lightly and said: "It turns out that Aunt Liu is so dead, and the eldest lady's heart is too vicious, the shopkeeper, what do you say you let us do, we must be on your side!" ”

Lu Xiyi hadn't come back to his senses yet, sitting on the bed with blank eyes, staring ahead with a blank face, and only after a long time did he say quietly: "Take Mama Zhang down first, and be sure to ensure her safety." ”

Zhong Yihan nodded, so he took Zhang Xiuqin down, and Zhang Xiuqin, who was dragged down, was still shouting for atonement while begging that they must avenge her daughter Ding Lan.

After Zhang Xiuqin was taken down, the room returned to tranquility, Xiaoxue stepped forward worriedly, stroked her shoulder and said, "Don't be too sad about you, the shopkeeper." ”

Aunt Hua wiped her tears lightly on the side, and couldn't help but tremble: "The truth about Madame's death has finally been revealed, Miss, what are we going to do next, the Lu family is in a big situation, I'm afraid we can't do anything." ”

"Don't worry, Aunt Hua, there will definitely be a way, you go down and rest first."

Aunt Hua nodded, giving Xiaoxue a look on the side, Xiaoxue nodded, seeing that Lu Xiyi was thinking about anything else, so she said softly: "Shopkeeper, you should rest first, keep the clouds open and see the moon." ”

"Xiaoxue, you let me stay alone for a while, I still have a lot of things I don't understand." Xiaoxue nodded hesitantly, and I walked back and watched her reluctantly close the door.

Xiaoxue, who had just gone out, watched Shen Zhuosi come over, and immediately raised her index finger to her lips and said, "Brother Shen shouldn't disturb the shopkeeper now, let's go out first." ”

"Okay."

Lu Xiyi was lying on the bed and closing her eyes thinking about her mother's affairs, when she suddenly heard the door being pushed open, and she said weakly: "Didn't I say it?" It's good to stay by yourself for a while, don't worry about me. ”

The footsteps were very soft, and he didn't seem to care what she said, walked straight in, looked at her and said, "What are you going to do?" ”

Listening to the voice was very familiar, she didn't have to think about it to know that it was Zhong Yihan, she got up and looked at him, and said in amazement: "Why did you come in?" ”

"Of course I'm going to come in and see you, tell me what you're going to do next."

Lu Xiyi sat down cross-legged, and said flatly: "I haven't thought about it either, I'm not sure after saying it, if you want to find out the real cause of my mother's death, I have to open the coffin for an autopsy first, but I'm afraid that it will disturb my mother, and the people in the Lu Mansion will never agree." ”

"I really won't agree, if you insist on doing it, they can't help you, after all, it's your own mother, if you need it, I can contact Lord Cao of Shuntian Mansion."

Lu Xiyi looked at him, his eyes flashed with a layer of light, and said, "Why are you so good to me?" ”

"Am I good to you? I'm just pulling out a knife to help when I see injustice, everyone has a mother, and I can understand your suffering, why do you want to go to meet Lord Cao? ”

Lu Xiyi said excitedly: "Thank you so much, I'll clean it up now." ”

Because Zhong Yihan was the informant in the middle, soon, Lu Xiyi successfully met with Lord Cao in the restaurant, and the image of Lord Cao was the same as she imagined, with a serious face and even a little old-fashioned, with a mustache above his mouth, looking resolute and sincere.

Lu Xiyi poured him a glass of wine and said: "You are Lord Cao, I heard the prince mention you, I can meet you today, or the prince is in the middle." ”

After Lu Xiyi poured a full wine, he stepped aside, looked at Zhong Yihan on the side, gave him a look, and signaled him to tell his grievances.

Lord Cao was able to come over today, it was completely to give Zhong Yihan face, looking at Lu Xiyi's courteous appearance, he couldn't help frowning and said, "The girl didn't make it clear what she wanted to do." I really can't drink this glass of wine yet. ”

Lu Xiyi saw that his style was also upright, so he was a little relieved, sat up straight and said: "It's like this, Lord Cao, my mother is the concubine of Lord Lu of Lufu, who died in an accident many years ago, and they all said that she died of a serious illness, but I think it's a little strange."

So I want to take the case from you and go directly to the Lu Mansion and let them open the coffin for an autopsy, which can save a lot of trouble. When Lord Cao heard this, he touched his smooth chin, looked at Zhong Yihan on the side and said, "So that's the case, you can go in order first, why ask me to meet in private?" ”

"My lord, don't you want to hear from you? After all, this matter has been a long time, and it is somewhat difficult to reopen the case. ”

Zhong Yihan's movements were sharp, and he quickly filled his cup again, Lord Cao didn't take a sip of wine, and watched the two of them give him this jar of ecstasy, so he refused with righteous words: "This is not good, this matter still needs to be discussed between you and Lord Lu, after all, I have always been well water and not river water in Shuntianfu and Lufu, if it is because of you, Lord Lu collides......"
