"What?!" Meteor was startled by this news, and suddenly raised his voice, and the little maids who were gathering in a piece of roasted chestnuts under the corridor laughed and looked at it one after another.

Meteor waved his hand at them, signaling that they were all right, and then lowered his voice and asked, "How did you die?" ”

This maid who went to the other garden with Song Yan is called Cailan, she is the old man in the Ruyi Pavilion, and Meteor saw that she was doing things neatly and simply, so she was sent to the other garden to take care of Song Yan.

"When she brought Mingzhu back that day, the slave maid had already paid careful attention, but the eldest lady really didn't go out of the room last night, and Mingzhu did seem to have thrown herself into the well and died." Cai Lan didn't do a good job, she was uneasy in her heart, and she didn't have any confidence to speak.

"That's it, I can't pass on this word, you can go in and talk to Miss directly." Meteor frowned and said, size is a human life, and Mingzhu is the big girl in front of Song Yan, Meteor is inevitably a little sad from this and there.

Cailan followed Meteor into the main room and told him what he had just told Meteor about.

"What about the corpses?" Song Zhi heard the news, and suddenly felt as if her nose and mouth were covered by someone, and she couldn't breathe, she slowed down and asked.

"The eldest lady gave a bereavement and asked people to send the body back to Mingzhu's house." Cailan Dao, Mingzhu is just a maid who has sold her body in the final analysis, and the place of life and death is no longer her own.

Song Zhi sneered in his heart and thought, "This time my hands and feet are fast." ’

As soon as Song Zhi came out of Song Yuanxuan's room that day, Song Yan disappeared, and the people in the outer courtyard came to say that Song Yan had left. Song Zhi originally wondered why she gave up so simply, it turned out that she was in a hurry to take Mingzhu back.

Song Zhi originally wanted to find a reason to get Mingzhu back, after all, the ins and outs of this matter are still unclear, but the deeds of Mingzhu and Cuihuan are all in Song Yan's hands, so Song Zhi is not up to Song Zhi to decide where Mingzhu goes.

Unexpectedly, it has only been two days, and Mingzhu has already died.

Standing by the door by the moon, seeing Rosin Xiang coming over with chestnuts, she waved her hand hurriedly, signaling her not to disturb Song Zhi at this moment.

The sweet smell of roasted chestnuts loomed, but Song Zhi's heart was heavy and he didn't realize it.

She thought for a moment and asked, "Who did all these things for her?" ”

"A few rough maids." When the maids were moving the corpses, Cai Lan stood aside and watched, only to feel that it was infiltrating, and it was really rich to make ghosts grind.

Song Zhi was stunned when she heard this, "The maid of the other garden is willing to help her do these things?" ”

"How can you refuse to spend the money?" Cai Lan felt that Song Zhi's question was really childish. But she didn't know that Song Yan obviously didn't bring much silver when she went to the other garden, and her luggage was checked by Qin's mother one by one.

This is not Song Zhi's intention, not letting her bring money to the other garden. When I sorted out the cold autumn courtyard afterwards, I found that there was not much cash in my hand.

And when Song Yao got married, she didn't know what method she used to make Song Yan spit out all the money she had deducted from her share over the years, and it seemed that she had taken some more, which deeply cut a lot of Song Yan's flesh and blood.

Song Yao did this thing to hide, and Song Yan had a lot of handles in Song Yao's hands, so she didn't say anything. Song Zhi still learned about this from her maid after Song Yao's death.

Song Yan has a lot of jewelry, but Song Zhi knows Song Yan's temperament and asks her to reward people with jewelry, unless the mountains and rivers are exhausted.

She thought so, and listened to Cailan say: "The eldest lady has a very bulging purse, and there are fashionable clothes and jewelry sent to the garden every month, and the eldest lady is always very generous in rewarding people in the garden, and she will also pick it up, specifically looking for those rough maids who were serving in the garden, and now some little maids are stammering with her." ”

"Is there much money to be done?" Song Zhi supported her cheeks with the back of her hand, Song Yan was always restless, like an annoying fly, always spinning in front of her eyes, a blow was not fatal, but she flew more cheerfully.

"In the past few months, it has cost three or four hundred taels." Cai Lan carefully calculated in her mind, "The eldest lady can't go to the street at will, she can only buy things and have fun." ”

"Why didn't you say these things earlier?" Meteor said unhappily.

"She's the eldest lady, isn't it common to use silver as a reward?" Cailan asked puzzled.

Meteor still wanted to reprimand, but Song Zhi interrupted her with a wave of his hand, "In the future, everything will be reported." You know? ”

Cailan nodded, although she didn't know, judging from the dissatisfied look on Meteor's face, she could also know that she had messed up the errand.

"Mingzhu's matter, you go back and ask those rough maids more carefully, she spends silver, we also spend silver, you and Caihe must find out this matter for me." Song Zhi glanced up at Meteor, and Meteor untied a purse from his waist and handed it to Cailan.

"There are fifty taels of silver here, and it is enough to reward a few rough maids." Meteor Dao, his tone was a little stiff, as if he was knocking.

Cai Lan was blessed and hurriedly said: "The slave and maid will definitely do it properly." ”

Song Zhi bowed slightly, and asked her to send her out.

"Meteor, were Xiaozhu and Mingzhu neighbors originally?" Song Zhi suddenly remembered something, and suddenly came to his senses.

"Yes," Meteor nodded, leaned over and said to Song Zhi, "Miss wants Sister Xiaozhu to go to Mingzhu's house to have a look?" ”

"Well, let Xiaozhu send some funerals to the Mingzhu family in her name." Before Song Zhi died in his previous life, Mingzhu was still alive and well.

Although Mingzhu was instructed by Song Yan and gave Song Zhi a lot of harsh treatment, Song Zhi knew that she couldn't help herself, and she didn't resent her too much. In Song Zhi's saddest years, whenever Song Yan asked Mingzhu to come over to give Song Zhi a crime, Mingzhu would take advantage of people's unpreparedness and quietly let Song Zhi go.

In this life, he was fine, but Mingzhu died early. Song Zhi felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and before Mingzhu used the fire rabbit fur soft blanket, she must have checked the register, she wouldn't know that it was an object brought back by Song Ling, and it was really not clever to use this thing to frame Song Zhi.

Unless she lied in front of Song Yan, in order to leave a little flaw for herself, a little omission that she could refute.

Song Zhi let out a long sigh and took a chestnut that she had peeled for her month by month, only to feel that the flour had become tasteless in her mouth.

"Miss? What's wrong with you? Moon and Meteor looked at each other and asked in unison.

Song Zhi slightly mentioned his opinion, and the two of them also felt a little sad when they heard it, and Meteor saw that Song Zhi was depressed, so he comforted: "What if it's just Miss thinking too much?" ”

"Then why did Mingzhu kill herself?" Song Zhi asked, Meteor couldn't think of a reason, so he had to look at Zhuyue silently, hoping that she could put out the fire.

"Didn't you check the books from Aunt Zhou before? It is also said that Mingzhu went to get the fire rabbit fur soft blanket, and Mingzhu went there once before going to receive the soft blanket, and only took an inconspicuous jade bottle. Because the things I sent directly to the Turbidity Courtyard were all inspected by the doctor in front of Zhang's family, so the first time Mingzhu went to the warehouse, it was clear that he was going to see what could be used to frame me in the warehouse. ”

Zhuyue and Meteor listened carefully to Song Zhi's words, the expressions on their faces became more and more solemn, and Zhuyue thought for a while and said, "Aunt Zhou said that the soft blanket of the fire rabbit was originally placed in an inconspicuous place, and it was only moved to a conspicuous place after Mingzhu took the bottle." It seems that the position of another piece of satin has also changed that day. ”

"But is there any rest of the batch of satin that my brother gave me last year?" escaped so easily, Song Zhi was not relieved, but felt very depressed because of Mingzhu's death.

"Yes." Moon by Moon nodded, "Su Sain is skin-friendly and nourishing, it is best to use it to cut belly pockets, if it is really like Miss thinks like this, then Mingzhu must have struggled." ”

"Song Yan has learned to be patient, how she herself has lost her reputation little by little, and she has lost her status in her father's heart, and she also wants me to taste it. If it hadn't been for this omission that day, I was able to clear my name, and I am afraid that there would have been trouble. Song Zhi lowered his eyes and carefully pondered Song Yan's thoughts.

"What's the aftermath?" Zhuyue was startled by Song Zhi's words, and even the chestnut kernel in her hand was broken, she couldn't present such a thing to Song Zhi, so she stuffed it directly into Meteor's mouth.

"You think, if Zhang Xinlan is allowed to spread this matter to Cui's Mansion, the people of Cui's Mansion will have preconceived preconceptions about me, and there will be more estrangement when I get along in the future, and maybe it will affect my marriage with my son."

As soon as he heard Song Zhi say that it would affect the marriage, the meteor was excited, and he hurriedly said: "How come?" The prince must not believe it! ”

Looking at the flustered appearance of the meteor, Song Zhi finally showed a smile, pulled her cheeks, and said, "Even if the prince doesn't believe it, how can others think that it is empty?" You think, before the matter was cleared that day, there were already some broken words among the ladies present, if it weren't for Zhang Xinlan's presence throughout the whole process, and then she came out to say a few words, it wouldn't have been what this matter would have been spread by the people who were caught in the wind. ”

The more Song Zhi said, the deeper the pimple between the meteor's eyebrows, Song Zhi felt funny, nodded her eyebrows, and said, "Song Yan didn't succeed." ”

"Only then did the slave and maid understand what it means to be not afraid of thieves stealing, but afraid of thieves, and if you bite coldly, even if you don't lose the meat, it will hurt badly." Meteor said angrily, "I don't think Cailan is useful, and she is not meticulous in doing things, but that Caihe is not bad, and I also wrote a small note on Song Yan's daily life, which is sent every few days." ”

"Then why isn't it Cai He talking back today?" As soon as Song Zhi spoke, he had an answer in his heart, "Are you afraid that Caihe will be more embarrassed in front of me?" ”

"Miss is smart." The meteor machine couldn't miss a sycophant, "Caihe was originally a rough maid in our courtyard, and Cailan always felt that she was superior. ”

"Then next time you let Caihe talk back." Song Zhi said, took a chestnut kernel to eat, and thought, 'It's not a long-term plan for Song Yan to keep like this, she has to find a way to make it impossible for her to turn over.' ’
