Chapter 52
The hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Hongxing's body was covered with a white cloth and rested outside the hall.
Everyone gathered in the courtyard outside the hall, and the second lady and Liu Rusu sat in the room.
Jiang Xiaoli sat on a chair wrapped in a quilt, and when Hong Xing's body surfaced, her feet slipped and she fell into the lake.
She couldn't figure out why even this murder happened to happen to her. And his hand touched the face of a dead man, so he wouldn't be so unlucky if the year didn't go well, right?
Jiang Xiaoli grabbed the quilt with his hand, and the cold feel of the corpse was still deeply remembered.
Sooner or later, she will plant her life here.
The second lady glanced at Jiang Xiaoli with disdain, thinking to herself, sure enough, she was raised in a nunnery, and her words and deeds were less than half a point of her daughter.
This father-in-law is also right to think about it, let the two of the old family go to the draft, and her daughter can marry a prince or something, her status is not as good as that in the palace, but it is better than marrying a fool.
Liu Rusu just covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, glanced at Hongxing lightly, and stopped talking.
Although Jiang Xiaoli was scared enough, with the previous life and death experiences, she was not a person with weak legs.
She observed these two hostess-level people, Liu Rusu's calmness, the second lady's thoughts, there are very few women in this back house, but it doesn't mean that there is no intrigue.
The second lady's father is a scholar, and he is also a famous lady. Although Liu Rusu was the daughter of a noble concubine in the palace, she was lost when she was a child and grew up in the Qinglou.
Even Qingxuan was later named the county lord, but this is also a joke in the family circle of the capital.
Jiang Xiaoli shook his head, Hongxing, who was kicked out of the house yesterday, was found dead in the pond of the back house today. It is obviously impossible to fall into the water, but it is certain that Hongxing is a victim of the house fight.
But why did she die?
The housekeeper ran in from outside, saluted the two ladies, and then said to Liu Rusu, "Madam, I have already sent someone to invite the prime minister and the eldest master, and they will come back after the court." ”
Liu Rusu nodded, looking like she was presiding over the overall situation, and just about to say something, the second lady said, "Butler, there is only one lady in your eyes, right?" Don't you even understand humility? ”
The housekeeper wiped his sweat, it was all this time, the second lady still cared about these false things, he said, "Second lady, it was ordered by the lady just now, and I, as a subordinate, naturally have to talk back to the lady first." ”
What this means is that if you had commanded me first, I would have reported it to you first.
"You ......" The second lady's face changed, she patted the handle of the chair, and was about to get angry, but there was a coughing sound outside, which frightened her neck.
"Xiangye, big master." The people all over the courtyard saluted to the two who came.
Jiang Xiaoli stood up with the quilt and looked at the two people who walked into the room.
The older one is Xiangye, he looks kind and kind, but the sharpness in his eyes makes people dare not approach. Behind him was a handsome middle-aged man, and in modern times, he would definitely fascinate a little girl.
No wonder Qingya is so exquisite, it turns out to follow the advantages of his parents.
Huangfu Antai saw Jiang Xiaoli as soon as he entered the door, and he frowned as if he was very dissatisfied, but he didn't say anything.
The housekeeper came over and said respectfully, "Xiangye, this red apricot was found by the eldest lady in the pond today, and it was said that she drowned, and there were no scars on her body." ”
"Isn't this red apricot kicked out? It's really unlucky, I want to die but I have to run back. The second lady read in pieces.
Liu Rusu said lightly, "Xiangye, presumably this red apricot wanted to go back to the house to get some fine soft, but the luck was bad and he fell into the water." ”
Huangfu Antai suddenly pointed at Jiang Xiaoli, "Then why did you go to the pond?" ”
Jiang Xiaoli was stunned, she couldn't say that she was going to steal fish for money, right? But when it comes to looking at the scenery, why does she still look at the scenery and see the murder?
The atmosphere was suddenly wrong, and everyone looked at her with a layer of suspicion.
"I ...... I'm just passing by......" she muttered quietly.
"The eldest lady will really pass by, I think you can go directly to Shuntian Mansion to catch fast!" The second lady gave her a blank look.
Jiang Xiaoli gritted her teeth, this girl is a-stirring stick!
She tilted her head to the side, only to find that there was a hint of softness in the middle-aged man's eyes when he looked at her.
The softness of this uncomfortable occasion, this look ......... Is it the way a father looks at his daughter?
Jiang Xiaoli's nose was sour, she hadn't experienced any family joy yet, and this look made her a little sad.
The butler stood in front of everyone and asked, "Who kicked Hongxing out last night?" ”
The two manservants raised their hands and said yes, and the butler nodded and made them stand up.
Then the housekeeper asked, "Who lives in the same room with Hongxing?" ”
Before the housekeeper finished speaking, a maid trembled on the ground, "I...... I didn't see anything......"
The butler pulled the man out and said, "What do you see?" ”
Jiang Xiaoli feels that this matter should not be so simple, if you can be on duty in the Prime Minister's Mansion, your psychological quality cannot be so bad, and the house fight drama will not find out the truth in a few minutes, isn't this the same as Conan?
The maid looked up at Jiang Xiaoli, and then pointed at her with her finger, "It's the eldest lady......
Jiang Xiaoli chuckled in her heart, "Nonsense, I stayed in my yard last night, and I have met this red apricot." She was also asked to take her clothes away, which had to be impressive.
"Hongxing and I are fellow countrymen, she was framed yesterday, the slave couldn't bear to see her living on the street, so she went out to give her some clothes and silver, Hongxing couldn't swallow that breath, so she wanted to go to the eldest lady to theorize........." The maid shook her body in fright, with a frightened expression "Hongxing climbed over the wall, and then took advantage of the time when the eldest lady went to the pond for a walk at night, looking for her theory, Hongxing has little strength, who knows ........."
The little maid was silent, and these three or two sentences turned the informant into a suspect.
Everyone's eyes looked at Jiang Xiaoli, their eyes were full of questions, and they all looked like they were treating her as a prisoner.
"I slept in the yard last night, how could I go for a walk?" She now has eight mouths and can't tell.
"Sure enough, he is a troublemaker, not to mention that he killed his younger brother, and when he comes back, he will make trouble, and I am afraid that the Buddhist scriptures of more than ten years will be in vain." The second lady sarcastically said that she had been in the army for a while, and she was used to seeing the dead, so it was better to have fun mocking others.
