Guo Yuan said slowly, and the blood on his face gradually recovered: "Naturally, I still ...... Still frightened, I did not dare to go to the lake again, so I climbed back along the bushes for a while, and did not dare to appear until I saw a servant passing by in the distance. ”

"And after that? But what else is going on? Chen Ying asked.

Guo Yuan shook his head and opened his mouth to deny it.

However, in the next second, she suddenly remembered something again, and her face sank.

"So, there really was something I almost forgot." She had a disdainful look on her face, and her eyebrows were indifferent.

"It was a coincidence that I hadn't gone far before I bumped into Mother Jin next to my grandmother." Guo Yuan had a cold face and a cold expression:

"That Jin's mother has always been provocative, I don't like her, she is also cheeky, came over to please me, and tried to test where I went, I ignored it, and went to gather the servants to clean up, and then went back to the flower hall to meet my mother."

"You didn't tell the eldest princess." Chen Ying said.

If Guo Yuan said it, this matter would have been caused back then, and Yanliu would not have sunk for several years.

"I didn't say that." Guo Yuan's answer was in Chen Ying's guess.

After finishing speaking, she looked left and right, looking a little uncomfortable: "I don't want my mother to know about this." My mother has been hiding from my pair of cheap mothers and daughters, so I just don't know. As for everything else, I ...... I don't want to say. ”

She straightened her back and raised her chin, trying to appear strong.

However, her tightened clothes and white bones showed that she was actually afraid.

I'm scared to the extreme.

The terrifying footsteps have tormented her all these years.

"What happened to that Mother Kim?" Chen Ying moved her chair, slightly curious.

When Fang Cai talked about this mother, Guo Yuan's face was ugly, maybe there was something left.

"That's a villain." Guo Yuanguo frowned, her face gloomy: "She didn't know where she knew that the cheap maid was dead, so she told her grandmother about her chance encounter with me." Because when I bumped into her at that time, my description was a little ...... Some ......"

"It's embarrassing, isn't it?" Chen Ying continued.

This is also conceivable, after all, Guo Yuan has been hiding behind miscellaneous trees for a long time, and has crawled for a while, and her dress must be dirty.

Guo Yuan's face froze, and then nodded stiffly: "You can also say that." Mother Jin is a broken mouth, and she took this matter as a great credit and told my grandmother. One day later, my mother invited my grandmother's family to be a guest, and my grandmother found a place where no one was around, and quietly asked me if I knew anything about the dead. ”

Chen Ying frowned and was silent.

The antecedents of Yanliu's death have gradually become clear.

Cheng heard the news from Jin's mother and mistakenly thought that the murderer was Guo Yuan, so he kept the death of Yanliu very secretive and never made a public announcement.

To a certain extent, Cheng's cover-up and concealment, or flattery, or maybe holding the handle, saved Guo Yuan's life.

Chen Ying couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Who would have thought that behind the case of the sinking of the corpse of Yanliu, there was actually a rebellion between the two kings and the private possession of weapons? And Guo Yuan, the owner of Xiangshan County, is the only witness in this case?

This kind of coincidence is probably the so-called providence.

She put down her thoughts and asked Guo Yuan: "Since your grandmother asked you, how did you answer?" ”

Guo Yuan raised her eyebrows and gritted her teeth: "As soon as I heard my grandmother's words, I knew that it was Mother Jin's cheap mouth, and she was talking nonsense everywhere. I asked my grandmother if it was Mama Kim who told her, and asked my grandmother if she had told anyone else. ”

A haze gathered in her eyes, and her voice was extremely cold: "Grandmother saw that I was annoyed, so she didn't dare to ask more, she just told me to rest assured, saying that she had already told Mother Jin about this, and she was not allowed to tell others, and no one in the house knew." ”

"Isn't that great?" Chen Ying said softly, and asked again: "Then, what did you say?" ”

Guo Yuan smiled lightly, loosened the belt of his hand, and slowly smoothed it out: "I, I didn't say anything, I just called Mother Jin to serve on the spot, and then found a reason casually, punished her for a big disrespect, and ordered someone to beat her fifty boards." ”

She took a lot of time to smooth her clothes, her white fingertips, dancôme red, tender as peach blossoms: "Then Mother Jin is really not angry, she swallowed her breath after receiving the board for less than half an hour, and her eyes were still open when she died." When the grandmother saw this, she didn't say anything, but only asked someone to carry the body to the mass grave, and her family was not allowed to burn it. That's it. ”

She suddenly seemed to think of something, and waved her hand: "That crystal bell, I will also hand it over to Mama Fang to accept." I told her that this thing was worn by a child, and I didn't like it anymore. Mama Fang kept it for me. ”

Chen Ying looked at her with a strange smile on her face: "Over the years, no one has ever known that you have been to the shore of Bihe Lake back then, let me guess, the group of palace people who served you at that time are also dead?" ”

This is almost obvious, Guo Yuan was frightened, and the best way for her to save her life was to make all those who knew couldn't open their mouths.

"Isn't that obvious?" Guo Yuan looked at Chen Ying strangely, with a look of course: "This matter must be sealed, who is tighter than the mouth of a dead man?" Otherwise, should I keep their dogs alive and guard against them? How much trouble is that? After all, it's over when you report your illness, and it's over. ”

Chen Ying looked at her with a flat face.

This is the so-called Ancient Mansion Gate.

A look and a word from the master can take a life.

Ironically, they did not break the law.

Seriously injured and killed, it cannot be said that the master treated him harshly, but it can only be said that this servant's life is not good, and he can't hold it.

Chen Ying got up, walked in front of Guo Yuan, and looked down at her.

Guo Yuan was stroking the belt of his clothes, and suddenly felt that his face was full of sleeves and coldness, and when he raised his head, he was facing a pair of clean eyes.

She suddenly felt a chill, and fear appeared on her face.

Chen Ying's eyes at the moment were very scared.

"You just said that...... Said not to do it. Guo Yuan mustered up the courage to say, but his voice was trembling, and then he twisted the smoothed clothes and belts again: "You can't ...... Not being able to speak doesn't count. ”

"I won't kill you. You are an important witness, and you have to protect it. Chen Ying smiled.

A very strange smile, looking at it in the backlight, it is more and more evil.

Guo Yuan's scalp was numb for a while, and he instinctively felt the danger, so he jumped up and ran out.

Chen Ying had already taken precautions, and her hand rose and fell, hitting the back of Guo Yuan's neck.

Guo Yuan immediately rolled his eyes, fell down with a "bang", and happened to lie down in the chair.

Chen Ying clapped her hands, looked at her for a moment, stretched her sleeves, and leaned over to help her.

She had to be taken to a safe place as a witness, so that nothing would happen.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the curtain.

Chen Ying turned her head awe-inspiringly, but saw the brocade curtain raised "loudly", bringing in a gust of wind, blowing the brocade paintings on the wall to shake, and the eldest princess was full of anger and walked in.
