Chapter 177: Life is Short, Try Your Best Once
Regarding the analysis of the beautiful scenery, Su Ke was noncommittal for the time being.
Lan Xin and Xianghui were in a hurry-
"The slave is wronged!"
"The slave and Chanjuan have no grudges or hatred, and there is no contradiction with Aunt Chen, how could they do such an evil thing?"
Yijing also seemed to be puzzled, and frowned slightly: "Yes, I can't figure out why you are like this?" β
Aunt Mei finally couldn't help it, straightened her waist, and looked at Yijing: "Wu Niang's meaning is nothing more than that this is all instructed by the concubine, and Xianghui is the maid of the concubine, if she does this evil thing, of course there is a concubine body." In an instant, there were tears in his eyes: "Wu Niang and Si Niang have a deep sisterhood, so it is reasonable to defend the second lady, but just guessing, you can't convince the concubine." β
Yi Jing sighed again: "Didn't that aunt just guess and insist on the 'facts' that the second aunt harmed you?" β
Aunt Mei still half-covered her mouth with a silk handkerchief - to cover her clenched teeth, her original plan, just pretending to be wronged, Chu Chu was pitiful, and let Su Ke come forward to attack, but because the eldest princess was too resolute to Tan Li's family, she didn't feel out of proportion, she didn't hesitate to kill people, but not just to make Chen guilty, and look at the attitude of the eldest princess, even Chen didn't even pursue it, but wanted to put her to death, if she was convicted of framing the main room, a letter of cut was still light, and she might even be investigated for murder, Let her fight for her life.
She has no way back, and on the premise of not being able to protect herself, she can only fight to the death with Ritchie.
And the only thing she can fight for is Su Ke, as long as Su Ke still trusts her, the eldest princess must also take into account her son's wishes.
"Wu Niang's words are biased, Chanjuan is dead, and Aunt Chen has no evidence to prove that she didn't kill anyone, but Xianghui also found physical evidence, although Wu Niang guessed that it was Xianghui and Lan Xin's collusion, but there is no evidence to prove it." Mei's argument argued: "It is also a fact that the concubine has a miscarriage, if Wu Niang doubts that this is the bitter ploy of the concubine, it can't be just guessed." β
What Yijing wanted was Aunt Mei's "resolute" attitude, and then asked lightly: "Auntie is sure that Xianghui didn't kill anyone?" β
"Xianghui didn't leave the concubine for half a step yesterday afternoon, how can she kill people?" Mei said.
"Really? Is my aunt so sure? "The scenery is thoughtful.
"Xianghui's whereabouts, the maids in the courtyard of her own concubine can testify, even if she goes out to look for Chanjuan in the evening, she is not alone, Wu Niang will not think that the maids in the courtyard are all bought by the concubine, right?" Mei's heart was anxious, and his tone began to be aggressive.
"I'm sure my aunt won't be so flamboyant." Yi Jing smiled.
Mei gradually became angry: "Wu Niang said this, but she insisted that Chanjuan's death was the hand of the concubine?" β
"If what I expected is correct, the murderer should be Xianghui's mother and aunt's nurse, because only this mother and daughter can be trusted wholeheartedly, as for the others, in the end, it is the descendant of the Guogong Mansion, and the aunt will still be more or less guarded, I don't know if the aunt can also prove that Mama Yu was also by your side yesterday." Yi Jing asked, she had already paid attention to Aunt Mei, and Qiu Yue even probed the bottom of the Mei family's courtyard carefully.
Aunt Mei was not from a prestigious family, and when she was married, she had only one nursing mother, Mama Yu, and her daughter Xianghui.
Yijing speculated that Xianghui didn't even have the courage to re-enter the utility room, and it was unlikely that she would kill someone, so most of the murderers were Mama Yu.
Without waiting for Aunt Mei to "prove", Yijing followed and said: "Aunt first bought Lanxin and learned about Grandma Li's plan, so she prepared a gold pendant, and yesterday specially asked Chanjuan to wait for you to take medicine, and then sent her to Canglang Garden." On the one hand, the aunt asked Lan Xin to coax Aunt Chen to go to the Youting, I think, the aunt either instructed Chanjuan first, let her go to Canglang Garden, and then go to the Youting to secretly monitor Aunt Chen, Chanjuan will not doubt her aunt's intentions at all, and she will definitely not disobey her order. β
"When Aunt Chen waited for the second aunt for a long time, of course she would leave first and go to Canglang Garden to ask what was going on, it was so coincidental, because the second uncle was there, Aunt Chen had to avoid it...... Mama Yu must have hid in the utility room first, or didn't hide at all, just tell Chanjuan, you let her go there for the sake of safety, after Aunt Chen left, Chanjuan must wait for her to completely get out of the secluded court, so she can leave, but she was killed by Mama Yu, I believe that Mama Yu is tall and strong, and Chanjuan is completely defenseless, and she is also sure of success. β
"In the evening, you deliberately asked Xianghui to look for Chanjuan everywhere, and everyone knew about it, but it was late at that time, and it was reasonable that Xianghui would not go to Tongyouting to find it, and my aunt was really cautious, and thought that if she found Tongyouting at that time, it would inevitably make people suspicious, after all, Chanjuan disappeared not long ago, and it was not enough to toss around the courtyard, and only when she didn't return all night, it was even more strange. So Xianghui will find Tongyouting in the early morning of this morning, after searching for no results, 'naturally' to find the secret court. β
Listening to Aunt Mei's words, it was enough to shock her heart.
Because that's exactly what happened.
She couldn't figure out how Wu Niang could guess so conclusively at such a young age, but it didn't matter, the important thing was that she could never admit it.
sighed sadly, and there was no resentment: "I don't know why Wu Niang guessed like this, but there is one point, Mama Yu has been accompanying the concubine last afternoon, so naturally she has no chance to kill." β
In fact, although Yijing expected nine times out of ten, it was not completely expected, for example, Mei did not let Xianghui find Chanjuan's body that night, not just for "reasonable" - this plan has been planned for a long time, just in case, Aunt Mei only let Xianghui accompany her in the house yesterday, and Mama Yu was ambushed in the utility room at noon, even if someone saw her on the road at that time, she would not suspect it, after all, Chanjuan had not disappeared at noon, she could say that Mama Yu had been talking to her in the house in the afternoon, and others were unaware.
In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, after Mama Yu killed Chanjuan, she did not rush to leave, but hid in the Tongyou Court, where there are few people, and during this time, people are busy with the upcoming two wedding banquets, and no one will go there.
It wasn't until it was dark, taking advantage of the cover of night, that Mama Yu left from the Tongyou Court - even if someone saw her, they would not suspect it, and thought they were inquiring about Chanjuan's whereabouts.
But when Mama Yu was doing it, her clothes were stained with Chanjuan's blood!
Although it was not obvious under the cover of the night, and when he returned at night, he did not meet others, but because the maids in the courtyard were distracted, he could not find a chance to burn the bloody clothes for a while, but such obvious evidence was not destroyed, and Mei Shi was never at ease.
Therefore, it is necessary to wait until the dead of night, when the maids are asleep, before anyone can destroy the evidence without anyone noticing.
So Xianghui found the body in the early morning of the next day.
And said that at this time, Mei was very sure that no one had seen Mama Yu in the afternoon, and she insisted that she had not committed the crime, Chu Chu was pitiful and inexplicably aggrieved, and looked at Su Ke with teary eyes, in order to win his pity and maintenance: "Second master, it's not that the concubine is disrespectful to Wu Niang, it's because this speculation is rootless, Mama Yu and Xianghui didn't leave the concubine's side yesterday afternoon, how could they kill people." Half of it was a temptation, and half of it was for Yijing: "Wu Niang didn't listen to the instigation of others, so she misunderstood the concubine body." β
She suspected that even if someone saw Mama Yu yesterday, it was nothing more than noon, or after nightfall, which did not coincide with the time of Chanjuan's death, but I don't know if Wu Niang made those inferences because she learned this.
"Jing'er, the second uncle believes that you will not be suspicious for no reason, so why are you so sure?" Su Ke frowned and asked.
Because the niece couldn't figure out how Xianghui knew that Chanjuan's life was lost in the secluded court, and she could still find Aunt Chen's sachet there, she originally only suspected that Xianghui had evil intentions and colluded with Lan Xin to blame Aunt Chen, but Aunt Mei vouched for her...... If she wasn't the murderer, how would she know about the murder? Yi Jing smiled coldly, glanced at Xianghui who didn't know why, and Aunt Mei, who was also hesitant.
"What does Wu Niang mean by this, the slave maid has been looking for Chanjuan for a long time, and there is no news, thinking that someone said that she had seen her near Luqing Garden, so she thought of Tongyouting." Xianghui came back to her senses very quickly, and reiterated again with a little resentment: "The utility room is the only room in the Youting Garden, the slave and maid pushed it open, and saw Chanjuan's corpse, she still had a dagger stuck in her heart, and she was covered with blood, of course, she was killed." β
"Did you really see Chanjuan's corpse?" Yi Jing was greatly surprised, and turned to face the eldest princess: "Grandmother, didn't you follow your granddaughter's advice last night and move this terrifying corpse out of the house?" β
As soon as these words came out, Aunt Mei choked up, stunned, the corners of her eyes became more and more red, but a layer of despair gradually overflowed at the bottom of her eyes.
How can it be......
Chanjuan's body was found last night!
Xianghui also looked like she had seen a ghost at this time, so that her heart was shattered - because she was scared, she didn't really go into the utility room today, where did she think that the corpse inside would disappear?
If Aunt Mei hadn't vouched for Mama Yu and Xianghui so ironcladly, or there was a way out, but at this time, she obviously had no chance to turn around.
The eldest princess's answer is no longer important.
Su Ke sat down in the chair dejectedly, and gradually, the corners of his eyes moistened.
That's how he looked forward to this child.
But I didn't expect that the woman who thought she was knowledgeable, gentle and kind, used the flesh and blood of the two of them as a tool to attack others!
Ritchhee hadn't turned the corner at all, looked at the beautiful scene, looked at the eldest princess again, and finally stared at Siniang: "What do you mean, it's really the person killed by the Mei family?" β
"Why?" Su Ke's eyes were full of gloom, and he finally asked.
Mei was paralyzed, but this time, he was not grief-stricken.
"Are you really ruthless?" Su Ke still couldn't believe it, the woman in his impression was a gentle, light and elegant interpretation flower, she once said that she didn't want a name, she just wanted to be with her for a lifetime, add fragrance to her red sleeves, and grow old hand in hand. Therefore, over the years, he has not been full of pity, devoted himself to care, and tried his best not to let her be wronged.
In the end, was he still deceived?
Gradually, greed is always silently corroding people's hearts.
It's not who deceives whom, it's just that people's hearts are fickle.
"No, how can a concubine be so ruthless." Mei smiled sadly: "Second master, the doctor said that I can't keep this child, and I will lose him after all." β
So my heart is as cold as ashes, so I am unwilling to do it in vain.
The greed born because of the child does not diffuse because of the imminent loss of the child, but takes root and spreads, gradually deviating from the original simplicity.
"I asked Dr. Hu to hide it from you, but I know that there will be a day when something happens."
Therefore, when the eldest princess proposed to change the doctor, she panicked, and at the same time strengthened the plan in her heart.
But it was still a failure.
Mei smiled: "I don't regret it, second master, life is so long, I always have to fight for myself once, I really hope to have a day with you, so, I don't regret it, I just feel sorry, I lost after all, lost the future, and lost the past." β
Ritchie seemed to be completely smacking the details of the matter, and then muttered sluggishly: "You, what a slut......"
was "helped" by Siniang and Yijing.
The dust has settled.
The last trace of Yijing's doubts also suddenly became clear - it turned out that Mei's was because he couldn't save the fetus in his womb, so he gave birth to these two defeats.
But it inevitably gave rise to new suspicionsβ
