A night of "calm".

In the early morning of the next day, at the beginning of the morning, as the clear light penetrated the clouds, the sky was shallowly smeared with beauty, and in the fragrance of spring flowers, the inner house of the Guogong Mansion gradually woke up from the silence. In the green garden, waiting for the beautiful scenery to finish breakfast, the spring twilight just called two little maids into the table to clean up the dining table, the winter rain over there tidied up the study, wiped the shelf bookcase spotlessly, and went to the yard to cut a few light powder peony flowers and insert them in the colorful bottle, just wanted to go to Wu Niang to please, lifted the curtain and looked in, but saw the autumn moon and autumn frost sitting on the edge of the kang, and I didn't know what they were talking about, and their expressions were quite frightened.

But there is no beautiful view.

Qiu Yue was talking to Qiu Shuang about the quiet court, and at a glance out of the corner of her eye, she saw Dong Yu probing her brain outside the curtain, frowned, patted Qiu Shuang's shoulder, signaled her to stop talking, didn't get up, still sat on the edge of the kang, the corners of her lips hooked slightly, and greeted: "Dong Yu has something to do with Wu Niang?" ”

Dongyu hurriedly came in and said with a smile: "I got up early to see that the peonies in the yard were just right, I picked a few to decorate the study, and I wanted to ask Wu Niang if she used one to insert her sideburns." ”

"If you don't go out, Wu Niang will be impatient to bring some flowers and grass." Qiuyue said, there is no meaning to talk with the winter rain anymore.

Dongyu had no choice but to retreat, and when the curtain was lowered, Fang snorted lightly, turned around and walked out of the house, and sat in the porch to watch the little maids sweep the yard.

Seeing the eldest princess coming under Linglong's escort, she hurriedly stepped forward with small steps, and made a blessing in a proper manner, her eyes glanced back, but she didn't see her grandmother.

The eldest princess looked at Dongyu with a smile, and bowed her head slightly: "I haven't seen it for a while, Dongyu has grown again, and his behavior has become more and more regular." ”

Dongyu hurriedly humbled herself, invited the eldest princess to the house, and wanted to follow up to wait, but the two of Qiushuang and Qiuyue were strictly guarded, and they couldn't touch the tea and water, so they had to wait in the corridor unwillingly, designed to clean up Mama Yang's family, and when that time came, she raised her eyebrows.

When he arrived at Canglang Garden, he saw Xianghui coming out with a sad face, and Dongyu was suddenly puzzled - why did Aunt Mei's dowry maid come out of the second lady's courtyard early in the morning, and still have such a look, could it be that there was an accident? hurriedly stepped forward and asked what he was worried about.

"It's Chanjuan in our hospital, after waiting for my aunt to take medicine yesterday afternoon, I didn't see anyone, I looked for her when it was dark yesterday, and I don't know where I went, my aunt was not sure, so I asked me to find it again. I asked carefully, and learned that Chanjuan had come to Madame's courtyard yesterday, so I came to ask a few words. Xianghui sighed, and didn't talk much with Dongyu, and asked the yard if anyone had seen Chanjuan.

She looked for it last night, and many people knew about Chanjuan's "disappearance", and originally only thought that she was talking to a good maid, and forgot the time for a while, and didn't pay much attention to it.

Xianghui turned around most of the back house, but still didn't find Chanjuan, and finally went to Tongyouting.

She didn't pay attention to the pair of eyes hidden behind the corner door of Luqing Garden not far away.

After a while, he saw Xianghui rushing out with her skirt on her face frightened, looking around, but she didn't see a single figure, and ran along the verandah to the courtyard wall of Luqing Garden.

As soon as I arrived at the corner gate, I saw two Zhu doors open, and the eldest princess and Wu Niang and Si Niang walked out.

Xianghui didn't expect to meet her masters in person, so she stopped in a panic, hurriedly saluted, and before she could ask, she reported in a trembling voice-

"Mrs. Tai...... Something big is wrong...... Chanjuan, she was killed in the utility room of Tongyouting! ”

Immediately afterwards, he covered his mouth, and cried silently in fear and sadness.

The eldest princess naturally did not panic, but she was also full of solemnity - seeing that there were two family affairs in the house in the next two months, she didn't want to be murdered at this juncture, although she was just a maid, and it was unlucky to spread it, so she scolded at the moment: "What are you crying about." He motioned for Linglong to step forward, and pulled Xianghui into Luqing Garden, before carefully interrogating.

Xianghui repeated her earlier words again, and talked about what happened just now: "The slave maid asked most of the house and didn't see Chanjuan, remembering that someone said yesterday that she seemed to have seen her near Luqing Garden, so she found Tongyouting, and I didn't think there would be anything to discover...... I didn't know that when I pushed open the utility room, I stepped on something first, and when I looked down, it was this sachet. Hurriedly presented it: "When I looked inside, I saw Chanjuan lying in the corner of the room, with a dagger in her chest, covered with blood stains, which scared the slave and maid to death. ”

Yi Jing looked at the sachet carefully, and saw that there were orchids and butterflies embroidered on it, which was very exquisite, and the corners of his lips were slightly curled, but he did not speak.

The eldest princess had to tell Xianghui not to publicize this matter first, especially since Aunt Mei was pregnant, and she couldn't listen to these bloody dangers.

After sending Xianghui away, the eldest princess smiled: "I was really expected by Jing Yatou, in the end, I am a thief, this slave doesn't dare to go to the utility room again, I have a lot of things, Bai asked Mama Yang to go inside to guard the appearance, it seems that we don't need to discuss, and see how these people act next." ”

Yijing got up at this time: "I guess this sachet must have been brought by Aunt Chen yesterday, but today she came here, so it can be seen that there is a mole around Aunt Chen." ”

It turned out that Yijing found Chanjuan's body in Tongyouting last night, and immediately went to Yuanying Hall to report to her grandmother, and said her suspicions - the murderers who killed Chanjuan were nothing more than two people, either Aunt Chen or Mei, if it was Aunt Chen, it would be murder and extermination, and if it was Mei, it was to blame for it. No matter who the murderer is, the fetus in Aunt Chen's womb should have been calculated by others, Chanjuan is "missing" in the afternoon, it can be seen that Aunt Mei has also drunk the abortion pill before dark, because the deceased is Chanjuan, Yijing speculates that it must be a thousand gold pendants - this medicine is obtained everywhere in the market, so many people know its medicinal properties, once a pregnant woman drinks this medicine, she will have a miscarriage within ten hours, and there is no other way to resolve it, so when Yijing found Chanjuan's body, it was too late to stop it, so why not wait until the next day, Let's see how this play is played.

The grandfather and grandson discussed it, dug a trap first, and waited to see who stepped into it first.

As for Siniang, she was not alarmed last night, Yijing considered that after all, it was a matter in the second uncle's room, and neither Ritchell nor Erniang would use it, only Siniang was an understanding person, so she was invited to come and explain carefully one by one.

Let's say that right now, everyone is holding back, just waiting for Aunt Mei's movement.

When it was just after noon, I heard that Aunt Mei's abdominal pain was red, and the eldest princess only ordered to go down, ask the doctor to come and see, be sure to find out the cause of the miscarriage, and let people immediately go to the yamen to ask the second master Su Ke to come back.

After Yijing and Siniang heard about it, they also went to Yuanying Hall together, waiting for the show to start.

Because Chanjuan's body was found at night, Mama Song went back to her private house and never heard about it, and Yijing reminded her grandmother that for the sake of safety, except for Mama Yang, she first hid it from everyone, so the eldest princess came to Luqing Garden in the morning, so she didn't let Mama Song accompany her, until Aunt Mei had a miscarriage, and the eldest princess told her about Chanjuan's murder, but she didn't say the details.

Yijing has been paying attention to Mama Song's expression, seeing that she is not nervous or expectant except for surprise, and even cautiously does not make any speculation, leading the "troubled water" to Ritchie, and it is not sure whether she is involved or not.

only measured, if she was Mama Song, what means would she have to use to make Aunt Mei not hesitate to give up her hard-won heirs, and also to blame Aunt Chen and Li's.

She was already convinced that this matter was not a conspiracy of others, but Aunt Mei's own means.

I just don't know if Mama Song is involved.

Looking at Mama Song's stable and carefree appearance, even if it is related to her, there is no evidence for a while, if it is really caused by her, how can the plan be foolproof?

There is no conclusion for the time being.

All she can do now is to prevent Ritchie from being slandered and implicated in the family's home.

When the doctor came, it was impossible to reverse Mei's miscarriage, and sure enough, it was diagnosed that Mei's was due to taking abortion medicine, not because of his frailty.

When the eldest princess heard that Su Ke learned of the evil consequences, she was furious and tortured the maids in Aunt Mei's yard, and Xianghui "couldn't withstand" the pressure, and finally confessed Chanjuan's death.

is still quiet, only passing the time in backgammon with Yijing and Siniang's two granddaughters in the house.

Yi Jing finally noticed a little loneliness on Mama Song's face.

Mama Song is indeed very puzzled - things shouldn't be like this, the second master has already passed and stands, there are only two daughters under his knees, and there is no son who inherited the incense, the eldest princess should have high hopes for Mei's birth, originally the eldest princess was also quite concerned, how could this Zi Mei's murder have a miscarriage, and there was a murder, and the discerning person will suspect Li's at a glance, but the eldest princess is indifferent.

She just praised Mei's decisiveness and ruthlessness in her heart - she must have killed Chanjuan and planted the poisoning on the irrefutable dead man, thinking that there would be a future, so that Li's couldn't argue, and ended up being abandoned - Li's was not the eldest princess's mind, let alone being treated by the second master, and there was a charge of "childless", and this son added two more murders and murders to the heirs, and there was no reason not to be taken seriously.

But seeing the attitude of the eldest princess, it seems that she still wants to keep Ritchie.

What went wrong with this matter, she actually took the unstable pulse.

But as cautious as Mama Song, she naturally knows that she shouldn't say much at this time.

Although the second room is making a big move, Yuanying Hall is peaceful.

But this peace will eventually be broken.

When the leak pointed to Shen Zheng, Siniang won a game, and the three grandparents were joking and laughing with each other, there was a mournful cry from Ritch in the courtyard.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, the Richs "pear blossoms with rain" rushed in, and they did not salute, kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly.

Erniang was also in tears, kneeling down with her mother, and kneeling forward to pull the corner of the eldest princess's skirt: "Grandmother, you can make decisions for your mother and granddaughter, and her father is going to divorce her mother!" ”

Immediately afterwards, Su Ke, who was full of iron and green face, also walked in, and did not look at Ritch, but only stepped forward to bow to the eldest princess: "Mother, Ritch is not virtuous and jealous, this time he actually instructed the Chen family to buy off his subordinates, harm my heirs, and then kill people and destroy the evil of mouth, and then she can't tolerate her, my son has written a letter of resignation, hoping that my mother will allow her son to be 'seven out' childless queens, jealous and chaotic two, divorce this woman." ”

Mama Song was overjoyed, but when she saw the eldest princess throwing a look, she immediately stepped forward, helped Li Shi to get up, and persuaded Su Ke to say a few words.

Yijing and Siniang also helped Erniang, whispered comfort, and stood aside.

The eldest princess raised her cup and took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and looked at Su Ke-

"Is there any evidence?"
