Chapter 249: Three Women
Chapter 249: Three Women
"Amitabha," someone in the room said the Buddha.
Xun Qingran breathed a sigh of relief, and then joy from the heart.
"This kid is really fateful." Xun Qing said.
Mama Xu took the baby over and wrapped it in a quilt. Doctor Lu examined the baby again, his gray beard trembling and excited.
"Although it was saved, I still have to worry more about Lu Lao." Xun Qing said. After all, this child was not born normally, and I am afraid that he will need more care to survive.
Imperial Physician Lu nodded, "Madam, don't worry, even if this child is not full-term, it is almost the same, and it is good to give birth for a few days, and it is no different from an ordinary baby." ”
"That's great." Xun Qing said, and glanced at Yu Niang's corpse, because the joy of the newborn diluted the dead air, but the matter still had to be clarified.
"This child's mother is a little incomprehensible when she dies, and she still needs Lu Lao's help to make a scene."
…………
Shanxi, Lufu and Qianyu were held in the firewood room of Songtao Temple, and the door of the firewood room was guarded. All they could hear was people running and whispering to and fro outside.
"I was born, it was a baby boy. Alas, he cries quite loudly, and he is a very energetic little boy. ”
"That's a big deal."
"But no, thanks to Imperial Doctor Lu, it is really a miracle doctor, and the dead people have been saved."
"Of course it's not dead, it's just holding your breath. Imperial Doctor Lu said that thanks to the fact that the child is about to be born, otherwise it will be difficult for a mother to survive. ”
Shanxi, Lufu, and Qianyu looked at each other with different expressions.
"Grandma commanded, take them out, and ask about it." I heard someone talking to the guard's mother-in-law outside the door.
Then the door of the firewood room was opened, and several mothers-in-law came in, pulled the three of them up, and walked out of the door.
The mother-in-law pulled the three of them out of the firewood room, and saw the girls and mothers-in-law coming out of the east wing with Xun Qingran and Imperial Doctor Lu.
"This baby needs to be taken care of, and the mother's body is weak, so she must be well nourished in order to get through it." Imperial Physician Lu was talking to Xun Qingran.
"Then bother Lu Lao to make a prescription, I will ask someone to boil ginseng soup immediately." Xun Qingran said, "Always let her speak, what's going on." ”
"Wow......" is the cry of a baby, coming from the arms of Mama Xu who followed Xun Qingran.
Mama Xu hugged the cloth bag in her arms tighter. Xun Qingran turned around when she heard the cry, and lowered her head to look at the baby in Mama Xu's arms.
"Look, grandma, he's quite energetic." Mama Xu said with a smile.
Xun Qingran also smiled, "Xu is hungry, go back and heat it up for him first." ”
Xun Qingran and his entourage went out of Songtao Courtyard, but there were still people in and out of the east wing, some took basins to the blood water, and some people brought hot porridge in.
"Let's go, don't be stunned." The mother-in-law urged, so they took three people to follow Xun Qingran and the others not far away, and came to the main courtyard.
…………
In the warm pavilion of the upper room of the main courtyard, Xun Qingran had already changed his clothes and sat on the kang.
"Did it hurt?" Xun Qing asked malt.
Malt shook her head with a smile, "The maid deliberately wore more, and she prepared early, and she fell there, and she was not injured, but she was angry." Grandma, you must not spare that wicked woman, she is so vicious. ”
"Yu Niang's death, does it also have something to do with her?" Kikyo frowned slightly, "Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental?" ”
The crazy raccoon cat, the bizarre hanged woman, the baby who doesn't know whose father it is, Xun Qingran rubbed his eyebrows, he was busy today. But it shouldn't be that hard to get to the bottom of the story, and the newborn baby helps. In front of Lu Fu and Qianyu, she deliberately vaguely said that she was still alive, and later arranged for people to deliberately speak for the three of them to hear, as well as her conversation with Imperial Doctor Lu, plus the live baby, in order to mislead the three people and make them think that Yu Niang was still alive. In this way, it should not be so difficult to ask the truth.
"Bring people in." Xun Qingran instructed, "Bring Lufu first." ”
A mother-in-law brought Lu Fu in.
Lu Fu knelt there upright, with low eyebrows.
"Lufu, you are so bold, murder and murder, murder of the master's mother, these two crimes, which one is a capital crime. Fortunately, grandma expected that the front was ahead, and Imperial Doctor Lu saved the lives of Yu Niang's mother and son. If you confess honestly, you can still be lenient, and if you are quibbling and deceiving, you will not be guilty of one more degree. Malt scolded Midori, "In front of Grandma, you should confess quickly." ”
"Madam, Yu Niang, Yu Niang, she is still alive?" Lu Fu raised her head and asked, at this time, she was still in the place, but there was a touch of sorrow between her eyebrows.
"Not only alive, but also gave birth to children." Xun Qingran said lightly, "When she wakes up and can speak, everything will be revealed, and then there will be no chance for you to turn yourself in." Now, you still have a chance. ”
"Madam, the slave is willing to speak." Lu Fu didn't need to think about it, "The slave didn't harm Yu Niang, and he didn't dare to harm Madame." The three minions didn't know each other before, but when they came to the mansion and did their work in one place every day, they could be considered to recognize each other. Yu Niang is docile and silent, and the slave is very compatible with her. This morning, Yu Niang said that she was not feeling well, so the servant let her rest in the house, took the clothes of two people, went to the well behind the house to draw water, and washed the clothes, about half an hour. When the slave went back, the door of the house was hidden, and the slave pushed the door open, and saw Yu Niang, who was hanging there. ”
When Lu Fu said this, she seemed to recall the situation at that time, and she still had lingering palpitations.
"The minion was frightened, threw his clothes and basins, and screamed." Green Fu said.
Xun Qingran remembered that when she arrived at Songtao Courtyard, she did see a basin of wet clothes at the door, which seemed to have fallen to the ground after washing, stained with a lot of mud.
The slave screamed at that time, and Qianyu and Shanxi both ran over and saw Yu Niang. The slave wanted to hug Yuniang, but Qianyu said that she should find someone quickly. The slave ran to the door to find someone, and when he went back, Qianyu and Shanxii said that Yu Niang was dead, and said that he couldn't move around, and he had to wait for the master to come and deal with it. ”
"That's all?" Xun Qingran looked at Lu Fu.
"Ma'am, the minion has not told half a lie. Although the slave and Yu Niang have known each other for a short time, they are like sisters, and the slave will never harm Yu Niang. When Yu Niang woke up, the lady asked Yu Niang and knew that what the slave said was true. Green Lady said.
"You and Yu Niang are like sisters, so what is the relationship between Qianyu and Yu Niang, can Shanxi and Yu Niang have a holiday? In your opinion, who did the murder of the Jade Lady? Why did she hurt Yu Niang? Xun Qingran asked.
Green Fu is the oldest among several people, and it gives the impression of being peaceful and calm. There are several people living in one place, and if there is any holiday, Green Fu should be able to know.
Lu Fu thought for a while and shook her head, "The minions don't know each other before, and they don't have a holiday. Every day in one place, life is simple, and there is no place for conflict. Lu Fu said this, paused, seemed to have something to say but it was difficult to say, "The slave is at a loss for words." ”
Xun Qingran groaned for a moment, ordered someone to take Lu Fu out, and called Qianyu over.
Malt still scares Qianyu like it did to Green Fu.
Qianyu is still in Songtaoyuan's rhetoric, which is similar to what Lu Fu said.
The servant was cleaning the yard, and when he heard the cry of the green fu, he rushed over. Seeing the jade lady hanging there, the slave was frightened. Lu Fu went out to call people, but the slave didn't dare to approach, Shanxii was bold, touched Yu Niang's chest, and said that he was out of breath. The servants didn't dare to enter the house, so they stood outside the door with Shanxi until the lady brought someone to come. ”
"What is the relationship between you and Yu Niang?" Xun Qingran asked.
"Yu Niang has a boring temperament and rarely speaks. The relationship between the minion and her is just average. Qianyu said.
"It's just average, haven't you ever had a quarrel?"
"The slave has a bad temperament, he has a quarrel with Yu Niang, and the slave has no intention, and it will be forgotten in the past. It's not that the slave bullied Yu Niang, it's that she messed with the slave's things, and she refused to admit it when she asked, so the slave quarreled with her. Qianyu argued.
"Yu Niang is alone in the house, you are cleaning in the yard, didn't you see someone enter the east wing."
Qianyu shook her head, "At that time, there was fog, and the slaves rushed to the courtyard gate, but they didn't see anyone. ”
"What do you hear?"
Qianyu lowered her head and thought for a long time, "I didn't hear any sound." Well, it seems that a cat meow was heard, and Chunxi had a wild cat, so the slave didn't care. ”
"Qianyu, let me ask you, what is the relationship between Yu Niang and Lu Fu and Chunxi?"
"Yu Niang and Lu Fu are excellent, the two often muttered together, and they don't know what to say. After Chunxi came, he talked to the minions, and Yu Niang and Lu Fu were just average. ”
"Chunxi wants to harm me, do you know?"
"Mrs. Hui, the slave doesn't know. That day, a wild cat ran into the yard, and Chunxi said that he had a cat when he was at home, so he used food to tease him, caught the cat, and kept it in the house. She said that she didn't have any relatives here, so she treated the cat as a relative, and would rather not eat it herself than feed the cat every meal. The minion didn't know that she had the cat to harm Madame. ”
"Go down." Xun Qingran commanded.
"Madam, Yu Niang, she's okay. Although the minion was at odds with her, he never thought of her death. ”
Xun Qingran waved his hand and asked people to take Qianyu down.
Things were a little more difficult than she thought, and both Qianyu and Lufu said that they didn't harm Yuniang.
To be strangled by Yu Niang and hung to the door frame, with the three people of Songtao Temple, it is impossible for any one to do it alone. It takes at least two people to complete it without making too much noise to alarm a third person. Assuming that it is a serial plan of Chunxi's envoy, Chunxi must be the one who did it, then at least one of Qianyu and Lufu is an accomplice. Listening to the descriptions of the two people, Qianyu's suspicion is obviously greater.
It depends on what the key person Chunxi says.
"Come on, bring Chunxi up."
Chunxi was escorted up and knelt on the ground.
Xun Qingran nodded at Malt, Malt threw the sleeve on the ground, and a woman held the tanuki in her hand, and the tanuki saw the sleeve and tried desperately to pounce.
Chunxi's face turned pale, but he didn't say a word.
Xun Qingran waved her hand, and the woman withdrew with the tanuki in her arms.
"You explain it honestly and clearly, I will be in charge of this matter, and I will not let the fourth master implicate the people in your family."
