As soon as Duan Rubian received the news, he quickly rushed to Aunt Ning's courtyard, and the maids and servants who knelt on the ground in the courtyard were silent with their heads bowed and their expressions were panicked.

Duan Rubian paced forward, just in time for Aunt Ning's slave Chunni to walk out of the room, Chunni just lowered her head and walked forward, not noticing Duan Rubian, and when she came back to her senses, she had collided with Duan Rubian.

Chunni raised his head suddenly, and Zhang Huang knelt down, "The third young lady forgives her sins, it was the slave who was clumsy and collided with the third young lady......"

Duan Rubian leaned down to help the spring mud, his eyes flowed, and he said gently, "No need to be polite, I heard that my aunt had an accident, so I came to take a look, aunt she ......"

"The news of the three girls is really well-informed" Shui Shi shouted softly from outside the courtyard, Duan Ruwu frowned and turned around sharply

"Mother, you are finally here, Mother knows what is wrong? It's only been a few days since you came back, how did my aunt suffer such a catastrophe?"

Her face was flushed, and her tone was anxious, so that the Shui family didn't know what to say for a while, the Ning family was dead, what was the matter with her, she wanted to use this as a metaphor for Duan Rubian to plant lackeys around the Ning family, who knew that she would refute it with a word.

Shui smiled far-fetchedly, "I...... How do I know ......"

The old lady walked forward slowly on crutches and glanced at Chunni, "Is the doctor here, but is there any help?"

Duan Rubian's eyes narrowed slightly, he was stunned in his heart, and a ridiculous thought came to him.

“...... It's useless "Spring mud weeping" when the slaves and maids find out, aunt ...... My aunt's body is cold......"

"There is such a thing" The old lady recited the Buddha name, twisted the Buddha beads in her hand, suddenly remembered something, and said again, "That child ......"

"It's gone" Duan Xuan interrupted out of thin air, stepped out of the door, and bowed, "I've seen my grandmother, mother, and third sister"

Her face was haggard and pale, and it made people feel compassion.

Shui pretended to step forward and hold Duan Xuan's hand, and comforted in a low voice, "Don't be sad five girls, crying is broken, and I'm afraid that my sister will go."

Duan Xuan pulled the corners of her lips and withdrew the hand that was clenched by the Shui family, and the intention of resistance was not hidden, which made the Shui family embarrassed for a while, Duan Rubian stepped forward silently and said, "No matter what, I should also take one last look at my aunt, I don't know if my sister can care."

Duan Xuan shook her head and let Chunni take Duan Rufang into the house.

There was some moisture in the house, and there was a musty smell, which surprised Duan Rubian, Ning is a person with a body, how can the place where he live is so tattered.

Chunni looked at the different colors that appeared on Duan Rubian's face, and said softly, "The eldest lady has often been troublesome with her aunt recently, and over time, that's it."

Duan Rubian opened his mouth and said, "The girl just said that you found out that Aunt Shi's body was cold?"

Chunni nodded, "That's right"

Duan Rubian frowned suspiciously, it takes a long time for a person's body to stiffen after death, and it is a little strange that there is no one to take care of the Ning clan during this time.

Walking into the inner hall, Duan Rubian caught a glimpse of Ning's corpse at a glance, lying straight on the **, the quilt covering the position below the waist, and his face was peaceful.

Duan Rubian motioned for Chun Ni to go aside, and walked to the corpse alone, Ning's skin was pale and completely stiff, it seemed that he had died in such a posture, Duan Rubian stretched out his hand and groped between Ning's hair for a while, there was no result, and he was puzzled in his heart.

I couldn't help but catch a glimpse of the green teapot on the table, and my eyelids jumped violently.

"Spring Mud"

Hearing Duan Rubian's call, Chunni walked quickly, Duan Rubian picked up the green teacup on the table and shook it in front of Chunni's eyes

"Is this teacup my aunt's own, or is it given to my aunt in the house?"

Chunni pondered for a moment and shook his head slightly, "The slave maid doesn't know, this teapot teacup slave maid has never seen it"

"Haven't seen it?" Duan Rubian frowned, "This teacup has tea stains, it must have been used, you are serving by your aunt's side, how can you not see it?"

Chunni was taken aback, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "The slave didn't lie, the slave really hasn't seen this teacup, Third Miss Mingjian"

Duan Rubian looked at the teacup for a while, his slender hands caressed the lines, and suddenly, Duan Rubian's face changed, and his voice was a little low

"When was the last time you saw your aunt?"

"It was around last night that my aunt finished dinner and said that she had a headache, so she asked the slaves and maids to retreat and not to disturb, and the slaves and maids all went back to their own houses."

"Can you hear an unusual noise in the middle of the night?"

Chunni looked down and thought about it, just wanted to shake his head, but in an instant he nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, yes, in my sleep, I vaguely heard a cat meowing, and the slave thought it was another wild cat, so I didn't care too much."

Duan Rubian put the teacup back and let Chunni get up, and after a while, he asked again, "When did the fifth sister arrive today?"

"It's the time"

"When?" Duan Rubian frowned, "How could it be so late?"

Chunni swallowed her saliva, "The third lady doesn't know, since she came back from the halfway to Jingci Temple, the aunt has become very strange, the slaves and maids are not allowed to keep vigil every night, and the slaves and maids are not allowed to disturb her in the morning, even if the fifth lady broke through one day, she was also scolded by the aunt very badly."

Duan Rubian rolled his eyes, came to the corpse again, observed for a while, his eyes lit up, took out the handkerchief on his waist and wiped Ning's lips, and soon after, the red rouge was wiped off, revealing the original color of his lips, Duan Rubian frowned, picked up the lip grease on the table and painted his lips back to red.

"Did the fifth sister stay alone with her aunt today?"

"Yes," Chunni nodded, "After finding out that my aunt died, Miss Five sent us to inform others, and Miss Five said that even if my aunt died, we could not let others see my aunt's current haggardness, at least we should leave the most beautiful image in the master's heart."

Duan Rubian sneered lowly, Duan Xuan's words were airtight.

When Duan Rubian left the courtyard of the Ning family, he learned that the old lady, the Shui family and Duan Xuan had already left, the old lady and the Shui family did not want to enter the house of the dead person, both of them thought it was unlucky, and Duan Xuan went to prepare for the burial, Duan Linxiu did not appear from beginning to end, sure enough, compared with his officialdom and his woman, he still chose the former, which was sad for the Ning family......
