Chapter 8: The Dead
"What? Li'er sent a little girl to ask you for a free pool? ”
The eldest lady Li Honglian sat on the main seat and said coldly.
Xia Fuben didn't pay much attention to this matter, but when the eldest lady asked him, she told him about Xia Li's girl asking him about Xianchi.
But looking at the meaning of the lady, I feel that this one is not so easy.
Hurriedly nodded and replied: "It's Madam, the girl who just left Miss's side and called Chu Han is here, saying that Miss Li's hand asked Xianchi to go to her."
Li Honglian smiled inexplicably, "It's really a child, my mother died suddenly, I couldn't stand such stimulation, and I became a little stupid." If Li'er really wants Xianchi, you can let her go to see Xianchi! After all, this girl can't leave, and it's not good to carry someone over now for outsiders to see."
Xia Fu nodded on his face, but secretly said in his heart that this Miss Li was really messing around, it was not good to keep a good watch after her mother died, and she had to see any maids, she was really too ignorant.
……
When Chu Han arrived in the front yard again, he explained to Steward Fu what Xia Li meant, and thought he would refuse, but he didn't expect this to say that Xianchi was still sick and couldn't move, and if Miss Li insisted on going to see it, he would go over and take a look.
Xia Li didn't think about it when he heard this, and he didn't care about the injuries on his body and his stomach that hadn't eaten for a day, so he led the first cold and went.
After thinking about it for a while, she must ask clearly, with her means, the dead can make her open her mouth to say a few words, not to mention that she is still a girl in the house!
She couldn't find her way to the front yard in the memory of the original owner, so she had to let Chu Han lead her way.
The leisure pool is arranged to lie in a side room that is idle.
There was a mother-in-law guarding the door, and when she saw that the master and servant had given a salute, she let them into the house.
Xia Li was afraid that her mother-in-law would hear something and then learn it to Li Honglian, so before entering the house, she asked her mother-in-law to stop and let her wait outside.
The mother-in-law retreated according to her words, she now thinks that this young lady is strange and not in good spirits, so it is not good to keep a good watch after the death of her mother, and she has to come to see this maid.
Although it is true that Xianchi jumped into the river to save people, this person was not rescued, and his face was not glorious, so she couldn't be blamed for something that would happen in a while.
Xia Li didn't think much about it, and calmly entered the house, followed by the first cold.
After a few steps to the bedroom, I saw a person lying on the bed.
"Chu Han, you call her up, I have something to say to her" Xia Li was afraid that he would be emotional, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand to hit someone.
Chu Han went to the bed and nudged the person on the bed and shouted, "Xianchi, Xianchi, Miss has come to see you."
She saw that this person was not moved, and even shouted loudly, but after screaming for a while, she did not see any movement of this person.
Xia Li saw that this person didn't react, and she also stepped forward to call someone, but as soon as she touched her hand on this person's body, she felt that something was wrong, and she was cold and stiff on the person's body, and she was obviously dead for a while.
"What's wrong, miss?" Chu Han saw that the young lady touched it, and hurriedly shrank back and asked.
She ...... It's dead," Xia Li replied truthfully.
"What? He's dead? Chu Han touched this person several times just now, and let out a scream in fright.
The mother-in-law outside the door heard it and hurriedly ran into the house, "What's wrong, Miss Li?" ”
Xia Li got up and said angrily to his mother-in-law: "What do you think of people, I don't know if this person is dead."
The mother-in-law heard a strange face: "Impossible! Before the young lady came, this person was fine, and he asked the servant to give him a bowl of water to drink!
Chu Han also forgot to be afraid when he heard this, and said there: "What do you mean by this mother-in-law, my young lady came to see her with kindness, we have just entered the house, and we don't even have half a pillar of incense, what can we do with her?" Obviously, you didn't care about it, so this person died before."
When the mother-in-law heard this, she was reluctant to jump Lao Gao, "Wronged, wronged, some people say that my wife can't take care of her, and she has the ability to let you look at it and try it, this girl has a high fever since she hit last year, and it's not the old woman and I am alone to feed the water and food, who has come here to see it for so long, I see that you obviously complain that this girl didn't save the second lady, run here to be angry, or the second lady's bones are not cold, what are you doing here?"
"You...... You're spewing blood, won't our young lady be the kind of person you say?"
Chu Han didn't give in, and quarreled with his mother-in-law.
"If you want to say that your young lady used to believe me, now you can inquire about the Prime Minister's house, who still believes that your young lady is good, even the eldest lady is busy with everything, not to mention this girl who didn't even save anyone"
Xia Li listened to the more this person talked, the more unpleasant she became, she didn't think so much about coming here to ask Xianchi, she just wanted to ask what happened last night, why her mother went out in the middle of the night, and she went to the lotus pond in the front yard.
Listening to her mother-in-law's words, I feel that she has no reason at all!
But that's not the case, it's just that no one believes her.
Now that the person is dead, there is no point in arguing with this woman about who killed this girl.
Thinking of this, looking at the early cold, he had to say more, and went over to pull the little girl and said:
"Let's go, there's nothing to say about the first cold"
Chu Han didn't want to leave, if he couldn't tell the matter, he might really rely on Miss, who was her Miss, how could she be stained with such a stain.
"Miss, you can't go, we can't go if you can't tell you about this, this person obviously died when we entered the house, this mother-in-law wronged a good person and wants to discredit us"
"Dead girl, I wronged a good person, the old woman is obviously guarding you here but relying on me to kill people before, I think this person was killed by your master and servant, I want to ask Mrs. to judge the reason, the old woman has no merit and hard work, you are waiting here, no one should leave"
After the mother-in-law finished speaking, she was about to run out, and her heart trembled at the beginning, feeling that it would not be good for the eldest lady to know about this kind of thing, so she hurriedly ran over and pulled the mother-in-law and said:
"You can't go, how can such a trivial matter alarm Madame again! There's something we both say."
The mother-in-law said scoundrelly: "I won't tell you, I'll go to the lady to comment."
Neither of you will let anyone, you pull me and make a mess.
"What are you doing?" Xia Li turned around and saw Li Honglian standing at the door, followed by a group of maids.
She had already heard the footsteps of someone coming, and wanted to see who it was, but she didn't expect it to be this aunt.
"Li'er? Why are you there?" Li Honglian said in surprise.
"I ...... Come and find the idle pool"
"Idle pool? Who?"
"Mrs. Hui, it's the maid who fell into the water next to the second lady," Xia Fu hurriedly replied beside him.
"Oh! Is this the man? Li'er is looking for her now, but now ...... You know the front yard is busy."
Xia Li felt that she had fallen into a pit at this time, and it was a big pit, she replied calmly:
"It's okay, just see"
"Look, huh! Madam, you don't know, Miss Li has seen people to death" The mother-in-law who was pulled by Chu Han over there had already broken free from the shackles and stood there justifiably shouting.
How could Chu Han let her say this, and hurriedly answered, "Madam, don't listen to her nonsense, how could Miss see someone dead, obviously this person died before Miss came"
"You spew blood, this person was fine when you didn't come, but you died not long after you entered the house, I see that someone is obviously holding a grudge because he didn't save the second lady, so he ......"
"You wronged a good person, obviously you hurt yourself to climb and bite people"
The two of you should not give in to me, and then Li Honglian shouted there:
"Shut it all up"
