Without waiting for others to speak, Lu Shi took the first step, gently pushed Lu Jiaojiao, and said, "Jiaojiao, you still haven't made it clear about today's back garden!" ”

Lu Jiaojiao glanced at Lu, there seemed to be some fear in her eyes, and Lu's eyes flashed before she stammered: "I...... I...... I saw my cousin tugging and pulling into the cave with a man...... And then...... And then I was knocked unconscious! ”

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Lu glared at Lu Jiaojiao fiercely, staring at her and shrinking, not daring to look at Mrs. Lu again.

Hu Shi immediately cried, pulled Lu Jiaojiao to look left and right, and said, "Oh, my poor Jiaojiao, who is so ruthless that he beat you like this?" Whining...... Come as a good guest, how can you encounter such a dirty thing, you have done something shady and shady, and there is no need to harm others! ”

Lu Jiaojiao also cried, she cried not because she was beaten, but because she was sad about Yuan Chengyi's death, but her aunt had already instructed her not to say anything about the relationship with Yuan Chengyi, otherwise it would be a dead end.

Although Bai Mujian listened to Lu Jiaojiao's accusation, she was still indifferent, as if the person Lu Jiaojiao said just now was not her, until Old Madam Bai asked, "Jin'er, what your cousin said is true?" ”

Bai Mu Hibiscus glanced at Lu Jiaojiao in surprise, and then suddenly said: "This is impossible, I have never seen my cousin in the back garden, I took the mandarin duck to go back to the room to change clothes, when I was about to arrive at the Jinlan Garden, the mandarin duck said that something was lost, so I asked her to go back to find it, and I went back to the room to change clothes!" ”

At this time, Bai Muchen also walked in from outside, and after saluting the elders, he said directly: "I can prove that my sister has been in Jinlan Garden, and I have also accompanied her to talk about her son, and tell her what I have learned from Mr. Dongfang these days!" ”

When Bai Muchen said this, Old Madam Lu and Old Madam Bai were both relieved, so Old Madam Bai asked, "Jiaojiao, are you mistaken?" ”

Lu Jiaojiao shook her head resolutely and said, "Impossible, I obviously saw my cousin!" ”

Lu Shi said suspiciously: "This is strange, but the family found Jin'er's purse in the hole where the corpse was found, I think there must be something strange about this matter!" ”

As he spoke, he took out the purse and showed it to everyone.

The mandarin duck immediately said: "Ah, this purse is what I lost, it is exactly the same as the purse worn by the eldest lady Su Ri, the slave thought that it was probably taken by the thief and thrown next to the corpse, to frame the eldest lady!" ”

Mrs. Lu nodded and said: "I think what the mandarin duck said is reasonable, Jin'er's purse is obviously worn on the body, where is it lost, it can only be lost by the mandarin duck, and it was picked up by someone with a heart, and I want to frame it!" ”

Lu didn't seem to be worried about the evidence he came up with, and he also echoed: "I also think so, so I asked Jin'er earlier, and now I take it out, just to let everyone have a number, and this matter has to be carefully verified!" ”

Old Madam Bai looked at the Lu family, and she didn't understand what medicine she was selling in her gourd, but now she was only thinking about how to calm things down, and on the day of the Bai family's big day, there was a murder, which was not a good sign, and she felt a little uneasy.

At this time, a burst of crying suddenly broke out outside, and it seemed that the people in the troupe were crying. Bai Hibiscus glanced at it, and then she didn't move, and Mama Rui whispered something in her ear, and she smiled.

Old Madam Bai was startled by this voice, and hurriedly instructed Grandma Sun, "What happened?" Check it out! ”

Mama Sun did not hesitate, and hurriedly went out to have a look, and after a while, she brought in a young man, who was born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and was not very old, about sixteen or seventeen years old.

With tears in his eyes, the young man knelt on the ground as soon as he entered, sobbing only to himself, as if he didn't care about the attitude of the people present.

Grandma Sun wrung her brows and reprimanded in a low voice: "Don't cry anymore, just say anything!" ”

The young man reluctantly stopped sobbing, with a tear in his eyes, he glanced at the two old ladies sitting in the hall, and then shouted loudly as if he had seen a savior: "Old lady, wronged, please make the decision for my brother!" ”

Although Old Madam Lu was puzzled, she was not in her own house, so she only glanced at Old Madam Bai and listened to what she meant.

Old Madam Bai had a cold face and asked irritably, "Who is your brother?" And what is wronged? ”

"Back to the old lady, my brother is Yuan Chengyi, that is, the person who died in your mansion today, my brother was killed for no reason, and died unjustly, I ask the old lady to give the villain justice, our parents died since we were young, and the brothers depend on each other, and now that my brother is gone, how can I call the villain to live!" As he spoke, the boy cried again and burst into tears, crying so miserably.

Old Madam Bai's original intention to perfunctory the past had to be changed at this moment, originally thinking that if Yuan Chengyi was alone, then a sum of money would be sent to the troupe, and now there is a brother who comes to cry, if it can't be handled properly, I am afraid that it will damage the reputation of the Guogong Mansion if it is spread out.

Grandma Sun thought about it, and then took the initiative to speak: "Your brother has a grudge against someone?" How could someone else be killed? ”

The young man hurriedly shook his head and defended: "We singers, where do we dare to make enemies with others, my brother has always had a gentle personality, and he will never provoke the enemy!" But ......"

His eyes glanced in the direction of Bai Hibiscus, and he looked at her very frightened, so he quickly put it away, but this time it made people focus all their suspicious eyes on Bai Hibiscus.

Old Madam Bai chuckled in her heart, and suddenly thought of Lu Jiaojiao's accusation against Bai Mujian, could it really have anything to do with Jin'er?

Without waiting for Old Madam Bai to speak, the Lu family hurriedly scolded: "But what? Don't talk in a hurry, if you say that you have a grievance, just come by pipe, can I still take care of people's lives in the Ningguo Mansion? ”

Mrs. Lu's eyes glanced at the Lu family, with a faint warning, the Lu family only quickly opened her eyes and didn't look at Mrs. Lu, this time she had to kill two birds with one stone, even if she offended Mrs. Lu, it didn't matter, anyway, she was now the Duchess of the country, and the Lu family couldn't help her.

The young man seemed to be frightened, and after a while, he said aggrievedly: "The villain's brother once told me before he died that he was in love with a noble lady, and he also made an appointment to meet here today to discuss elopement, so ...... So the small suspicion is that after the matter was broken, the young lady killed people! ”

The people in the room who heard this all gasped in horror, a noble lady actually had an affair with a playman, and planned to elope, which is simply a big joke in the world, shameless and ignorant.

As if she had thought of something, Old Madam Lu slapped the table and scolded sharply: "You can't spray people with blood, which young lady will take a fancy to a singing opera?" Don't have a bad reputation! ”

The boy trembled, like a frightened rabbit, and did not dare to speak again. Lu hurriedly spoke up, and said to Mrs. Lu flatteringly: "Mother, don't be angry, the reason for the matter has not been figured out yet, maybe there is really such a shameless person, the forest is big, what birds are not?" ”

Then she turned to the young man and asked, "Do you know where this noble lady your brother is talking about?" What is your name? ”

The young man shook his head and said, "My brother didn't say anything specific, he was probably afraid that he would reveal the identity of the young lady and cause trouble, so he only told me to prepare earlier, and when the time comes, I will leave the capital with them, find a place where no one is around, and live in peace!" ”

As if he remembered something sad, the young man burst into tears again, and kept wiping his eyes with his sleeves, looking really desolate.

Lu sighed and said with a look of unbearability: "Hey...... It's also a pitiful one, but you don't know who that young lady is, how can you know who the real murderer is, and your brother is afraid that he will lose his life in vain! ”

When the young man heard this, he suddenly stopped crying, and then said: "Although my brother didn't tell who the little one was, the two of them have been friends for a long time, and they also gave my brother a lot of things in private. ”

Lu Jiaojiao listened to the words, and suddenly took a few steps back as if frightened, but fortunately, Lu quickly helped her and gave her a warning look, so that Lu Jiaojiao returned to normal.

Old Madam Bai snorted coldly and said, "I want to see whose daughter is so shameless, having a private meeting with her lover at the wedding banquet of my country's mansion, and killing people and killing people, it's ridiculous!" ”

Lu Shi heard this, only to take a reassuring pill, this time had to be through the hands of the play to pull out the white hibiscus, she got the exact news at the time, Bai hibiscus was trapped in the back garden, but for some reason rushed over, but did not catch anyone, but saw Bai Hibiscus again in the Jinlan Garden.

Lu struck while the iron was hot, and then said: "Did you hear it, if you have evidence, quickly take it out and let the two old ladies call the shots for you!" ”

The young man crossed his heart, and then said: "The evidence is in my brother's box, and now it has probably been accepted by the class master!" ”

Lu's eyes inadvertently swept over Bai Hibiscus, but found that she had a calm face, as if it was none of her business, and Lu sneered in her heart.

Since Mrs. Bai was determined to pursue the investigation, she no longer hesitated and asked Grandma Sun to notify the troupe owner to come up with physical evidence.

After a while, the troupe moved out a large wooden box, and the class owner knelt on the ground respectfully and said: "This is Yuan Chengyi's box, which he keeps by himself on weekdays, and others can't move it, so he hasn't opened it!" ”

Mrs. Bai glanced at Mama Sun, and Mama Sun ordered someone to open the box, but she didn't expect that most of the boxes were filled with costumes, and only a small box looked a little suspicious.

The young man hurried over, pointed to the box and said, "The thing is in the box, I have seen my brother open it in private!" ”

So Mama Sun ordered someone to break the lock of the small box, open the small box, and then was surprised to find that it was some daughter's jewelry.

There are also a few letters in it, and the jewelry is nothing special, but the letters have attracted the attention of Grandma Sun. She took out the letter, presented it to Mrs. Bai, and said, "This is in the box, it looks like it should be a letter from the young lady to her lover!" ”

Because the handwriting on the envelope is very beautiful, I know at a glance that it was written by my daughter's family.

Old Madam Bai opened the envelope, read the contents of the letter, and then carefully identified the handwriting, her fingers clenched the paper tightly, trembling slightly, and her eyes were red as if they were stained with blood.
