Just as she was looking down at the letter paper in her hand, Ming Xiu's deep voice suddenly sounded behind her, "Tao Jinyan left?" ”

"yes." Chu Nian put the letter back into the envelope, and this party raised his head, "Why are you here?" Is everything okay in the palace? ”

Seeing Mei Xiang serving the tea, Ming Xiucai looked up at Chu Nian, who was absentmindedly sitting at the table, "I asked Tao Jinyan to leave." ”

Ming Xiu calmly picked up the teacup and took a sip, "If he continues to stay, it will only make you more embarrassed, it is better to leave your side earlier, maybe you can also see the good children of other women, so that no one will rob me of people." ”

"He volunteered." Ming Xiu looked up at Chu Nian, "He naturally knows that continuing to stay will only make you more embarrassed." ”

He raised his eyes, and there was a glimmer in his narrow eyes, "If you continue to be troubled like this, I'm afraid that you will waste a piece of his good intentions." ”

This Fang Ming Xiu saw Chu Nian's gaze and sighed lightly, "I'm not jealous, you don't have to be careful." ”

But at this moment, there was a scream from the courtyard, Chu Nian and Ming Xiu raised their heads at the same time, but Mei Xiang rushed out the door first.

Chu Nian and Ming Xiu also got up and walked towards the door, and saw that the corner of the courtyard was almost full of maids and family members, and the people were gathered in a circle, and there seemed to be something terrifying in the middle, they wanted to step forward, but they didn't dare.

Her face was pale, as if surprised, "Lady, this ......"

Ming Xiu bent down to probe the girl's snort, raised his head, and a trace of doubt flashed in his narrow eyes, "It's dead." ”

There are no wounds on this maid's body, and there is no blood, obviously it is not a death caused by external forces, and her face is slightly pale, and her body is quite soft......

Mei Xiang nodded palely, "It looks familiar, like a rough maid in our yard." ”

Mei Xiang shook her head honestly, "The rough maids in our yard are the healthiest, and they can resist energy lifting on weekdays, and they are easier to use." ”

Chu Nian turned his head, and saw Ming Xiu continue: "In broad daylight, this ...... Could it be an illusion? ”

"Maybe not in broad daylight." Ming Xiu's eyes flashed slightly, "Maybe they have already mixed in." ”

But Qinghe's people didn't care about her and Ming Xiu in the house, but took such a big risk to kill a maid, what did they want?

I saw Chu Nian turn his eyes to look at Mei Xiang, "Bury this girl, by the way, where are the secret guards?" ”

Mei Xiang looked sideways at the wall on the side, and saw Dark San jumping down, as if his face was embarrassed, "Ahem, Your Highness, lady." ”

"The eldest brother has something, the second brother went to buy us food, and the fourth brother went to patrol the west."

Dark San's face became more and more anxious, "The subordinates have been staring, and they haven't even blinked their eyes, who knows that this girl will suddenly fall, and the subordinates don't dare to make a sound......"

Ming Xiu glanced at her sideways, and his face seemed to be a little soothed, "That's it, you guys go and confess the guilt yourself." ”

When these words fell, Mei Xiang volunteered: "I'll go and call everyone in the courtyard to come over." ”

After a while, I saw the people of the Chu family gathered in the herb house, and a group of people were talking about it, and it was only the other party who heard about the dead maid and felt panicked.

"It's really not safe to do things in our Chu family, I heard that the maid died of some illusion this time?"

"Working in the Chu family is already in danger of life, don't you know how many enemies our master has?"

Chu Nian's eyes swept over the few maids who spoke, and the hall suddenly fell silent, and the people looked at Chu Nian pitifully, as if the dead maids were their family, and they were standing here now, just to wait for Chu Nian, the master, to say something.

The next group of people was completely quiet, and then saw Chu Nian muttering for a while, and then said: "Everyone knows what happened just now, I came to you today to ......"

Chu Nian twisted his brows slightly, "I was about to say this." ”

"Five taels ......"

Someone hesitated for a while before raising his hand and saying, "Lady, we ......"

As he spoke, Chu Nian turned his eyes to look at Mei Xiang, "Mei Xiang, how many people are there in our Chu family now?" ”

Chu Nian nodded slowly, "The people who worked for the old lady before, the people who worked for the Xiao Chen family, and the ones in the courtyard of Yuanlang are divided into one group. ”

The group of people who took care of the old lady looked at them all older, and they looked reliable; The group that took care of Xiao Chen's family were also middle-aged, and as for those who took care of Chu Yuanlang before, they were all born in the Chu family since childhood.

Chu Nian doesn't pay much attention to the people in the courtyard on weekdays, so he naturally looks at these maids.

The two groups of people suddenly looked at each other, and many people in Xiao Chen's courtyard were scattered, but the old lady in the courtyard still stood in place and did not move.

The first old woman, who looked to be in her sixties, dressed plainly, looked like the mother who took care of the old lady when she was alive.

Chu Nian twisted his brows, "But in the end, it's a matter of life and death......"

"Yes, don't persuade us to go, lady."

The concubine is the concubine and the prince is infinitely favored
