Liuli was silent, stuffed the cloth bag back under the futon without a trace, and said, "What the eldest lady says, I can do." ”

"Then dare to be kind, the girl is ready to leave."

Mrs. Qian smiled again and walked out of the threshold.

Rurimu sent her out, a pair of fists clenched under her sleeves.

Cui Ying is working hard for the Qi family, even if the Qi family suffers from the Yu family's trick and does not come forward to provoke, Cui Ying's family will not give up. And the Yu family was wiped out by the Qi family at one time, and was beaten by the old lady in front of everyone, and his hatred can be imagined. Now for the sake of shame, I have made such a big investment, so I am naturally prepared.

This matter has nothing to do with Liuli, unfortunately they all chose her small cross-courtyard as a battlefield for the city, she thought that she only needed to be a spectator to protect herself, but now the situation is far worse than she imagined, she wants to retreat, and it is difficult to keep it clean!

Knowing that Fang Cai shouldn't have made Rui'er spy on Tian'er, Liuli wanted to drag Rui'er back to make plans, but Qian Changsheng's family ordered someone to come in and urge, and after a while, no one turned around, so he had to put things away carefully and put on a big hat to come out.

The group went to the front yard with Cui Ying, who was being carried, Cui Ying's mother kept crying all the way, and Mama Li also came, but her expression was much calmer than before. In the air, goose feathers and snow flakes have been fluttering again, and the road ahead is white, just like Liuli doesn't know what awaits her in the front yard at this time.

It took two or three quarters of an hour to pass through the wind and snow to reach the third entrance door through the hall, there was a mother-in-law waiting here, glanced at the straw mat behind the head and greeted it, and gave a salute to Qian Changsheng's family, and said: "The old lady just said, and stopped in the small courtyard of the gourd on the west side of the front hall, which is close to the main courtyard, and it is convenient for the eldest lady to go over." ”

Qian Niangzi hummed and walked west, while saying, "Has the master arrived?" ”

The mother-in-law said: "The old lady just said that if you don't work hard to run away, there is no precedent in the house, and when you go back and wait for the lady to judge the results, send it to Fengtianfu for the record." ”

Not only Liuli now, but even Qian Changsheng's family also stopped: "What did the old lady say? ”

The woman said, "Then there is still a fake? Give my wife ten guts, and I can't joke about it. ”

Qian Changsheng was silent, then nodded again and continued to move forward.

That's right! When Liuli heard this, her heart was steady, and sure enough, someone had already thought of one thing with her, and she had reminded her in front of the old lady, so the old lady would come forward to speak. If it is ordinary, how can a dead maid be worth asking about the old lady herself?

After a while, when they arrived at the small gourd courtyard, some people were already waiting, and when they saw that the corpse was carried over, those who did not shy away from it came over to take over.

The small gourd courtyard is an uninhabited courtyard located under the three gates, the location is good, and it is exquisitely built, but there are more empty courtyards in the house, and it is not particularly prominent.

Behind the courtyard is a curved corridor, which used to be Aunt Su's courtyard, and then to the main house where the Yu family was located and some small courtyards attached to the main house.

Qian Changsheng's family beckoned Cui Ying's body into the main hall, and the Yu family's men came to stand in front of him. First, the red-sleeved envoy called the little maid to bring a plum blossom chair covered with brocade mattresses, and then Cai Qin led a few mothers-in-law to bring a three-legged bronze gilt lavender cage, and burned charcoal vigorously. Cai Qin went out, and Ruyi walked in with a small copper kettle and a set of purple sand cups hanging upside down from the golden bell.

Everyone watched them go in and out a few times, and then they heard someone outside the door shouting, "The eldest lady and the fourth lady are careful to slip the road", Qian Changsheng's family hurriedly got up and went out and said: "It's really a sin to alarm the two ladies this day!" Seeing that Yu was only wearing a half-worn fox fur, he hurriedly took a half step back and untied the new mink fur cloak on his body, handed it to the mother-in-law behind him, and took the red sleeve's hand to hold Yu.

Ruri thought about it and stood up at the door.

Nie Shi teased Qian Changsheng's family on the side: "This new cloak of the lady today is worth a lot of silver, right?" ”

Qian Niangzi smiled: "The fourth lady is smiling, where is what is worth what money?" It's just going to be dressed to block the wind and snow. Yu Shi looked sideways at her and saw that she was really only wearing a jacket at the moment, and said with a smile: "Why bother? I can't do it backwards when I'm frozen. But he paid no heed.

Seeing that the Yu family was gradually approaching, Liuli stepped forward and said, "Liuli, please the eldest lady, please the fourth lady." ”

Yu glanced at her and went in with a hum. Nie Shi stopped and said: "Yo, these nine girls have been more and more moisturized since they entered the house, look at this white fox skin, it is still a whole piece of skin!" ”

Yu's face became gloomy.

Liuli thought for a moment and said respectfully: "What the fourth lady said is true. Thanks to the care of the old lady and the eldest lady, Liuli is indeed more than ten times more nourishing in the house than outside. In order to be grateful, Liuli insisted on the style of diligence and thrift, and remade this big piece with the old clothes of her deceased mother, hoping that this move would not damage the face of He Fu. ”

As soon as Nie Shi heard that it was an old coat, he reached out and lifted the placket of the glass to look through it, and after a while, he put down his hand and hummed: "Your mother is not poor!" He shook his hand and went into the house.

Liuli followed her and slowly entered the house, standing under the curtain on the left. Mama Li stood on the other side, looking very anxious, and wanted to come up to say hello when she saw Yu, but Mrs. Qian kept guarding every inch, and she really couldn't get in.

Thanks to the blessing of the Yu family, the house was warmed tightly, the snow stains that melted under the feet dried quickly, and the house that had not been inhabited for a long time also had some popularity.

Yu Shi drank ginseng tea to warm his body, helped the lying rabbit on his head, leaned on the back of the chair with his hands, and looked down.

Cui Ying's body was covered with a white cloth, and her mother, Liu Yuchun'er, knelt outside, her voice whining inward. The corners of Yu's mouth twitched, and when Mrs. Qian saw it, she took Liu Yuchun down.

Qian Niangzi said: "Madam, look, how to deal with this matter?" ”

Yu's head was not raised, and his nails poked the gaps in the flowers on the stove, "It is common for people to die in this cold winter, but I heard that she has a cold again, and there is no place to vent this cold when she is suffocated, so it is more normal." Summoning all the people in her house to ask them clearly, and then finding a literate person, if there is nothing wrong, they will all draw a charge and hand it over to Fengtianfu Yin. ”

Qian Niangzi hurriedly said: "Now there are nine girls in that house, and there is a grandmother, and the other two maids have been summoned now." ”

Yu glanced at Liuli and said, "Then let's start with the ninth girl." ”

Ruri was invited to the front of the hall. Mrs. Qian asked, "Please tell the girl what she knows." ”

Liuli Yuguang swept the door, and when she didn't see the Qi family coming, she was a little puzzled, if she didn't come, wouldn't the Yu family be decided? Is Qi willing to suffer this dumb loss?

Looking back at Yu, he said: "Cui Ying has indeed suffered from a cold in the past few days, and I took a look at her body just now, it doesn't look like it was poisoned, and there are no traces of blood, but last night the doors and windows in the house were closed, but a large pot of charcoal was burned, and I think she suffocated to death unconsciously after falling asleep." ”

Nie's expression was relieved, but Qian Niangzi said: "She lives in the same room with two other maids, why is she only suffocated?" ”

Liuli thought for a while, "I'll have to ask Tian'er about this, I sleep next door and don't know the details." However, Cui Ying has always been arrogant, and she can't get along with the people in the courtyard, and it is possible that they are sometimes unwilling to stay with her. ”

Speaking of this, Mama Li on the side immediately became nervous, but Liuli looked up with a calm face.

Qian Niangzi was a little surprised, looked back at Yu, and didn't know how to continue for a while.

She is the mother-in-law of the chief manager of the house, and she knows better than anyone the origin of these maids and mothers-in-law in the courtyard. Sweetness is untouchable. Ke Rui'er was brought in by herself, and it only took a few days to get into human life, and this matter has to fall on Rui'er's head, and she has to take care of it herself.

Qian Changsheng's family suddenly felt that this matter was a little tricky, the key was that she thought it was just an ordinary homicide case, but she reached out and touched a thorn.

Qian Niangzi didn't say anything for a long time, Nie snorted, and continued: "What the ninth girl means, doesn't she mean something else, blaming those two maids?" ”

Ruri raised her head: "How come?" Obviously, Tian'er has been serving Cuiying's decoction for the past few days, I don't know how dedicated she is, Rui'er has always been in my room, and it is impossible for them to harm Cuiying. ”

Nie sneered: "They can't, you still know everything, could it be that Mama Li harmed you?" ”

Mama Li's face changed, and her legs fell to the ground weakly.

Liuli was still calm, "The eldest lady only let me say what I know, I don't know this, so it's hard to say." ”

Mama Li's teeth were beating again.

Yu slowly lifted his eyelids, "Let Mama Li come out and speak." ”

Outside the door, Cai Qin suddenly came and said, "The second lady and the third lady are here." ”

Yu's eyes flashed, and Nie sneered: "This Cui Ying has such a big face!" It's not enough to alarm the eldest lady, but even the second lady and the third lady are also alarmed! ”

Mama Li had been invited to Liuli's side, and when she heard that all four ladies had arrived, a dense layer of cold sweat appeared on her forehead.

At this time, Ruyi hurriedly came in and whispered something to Yu, and when Yu waved her hand to let her retreat, she could meet Liang's Qi entering the door.

Mrs. Qian hurriedly called someone to move her seat, Liang Qi and the two of them gave a slight salute to Yu, and Liang said: "I didn't want to move around for a little thing in this cold day, but Cuiying and her old son actually sued the old lady, and insisted that her daughter died unjustly, and the old lady couldn't, so she called me and my third brother and sister to take a look, that is, to make a scene, so that they can rest assured." ”

Yu snorted, scraped the teacup lid in his hand, and said, "I'm also worried that it's not lively enough, since the old lady let me come, where is there anything not welcome?" Originally, it was said that it would be handed over to Fengtianfu to review the drawings for justice, but I don't know which one blew the wind in the old lady's ear and said that it was not invited, so we were allowed to suffer here in vain. ”
