Chapter 021: Mother, I Won't Let You Die in Vain
"What? What did you say! ”
Ling Qingrui jumped out of the carriage directly, grabbed Mama Wei, who was still crying, and questioned in disbelief.
"Madame, it's gone! Madame passed away......"
Mama Wei burst into tears, she watched her wife grow up, get married, and adopt a young lady, but she didn't expect her to leave like that, earlier than her, an old woman!
Ling Qingrui only felt that there was a roar in her whole mind, she couldn't see Mama Wei in front of her clearly, and she couldn't hear Chu Xue's anxious shout, so she let go of Mama Wei's clothes that she was holding in despair, and staggered towards the house.
Mother, how could she die suddenly?
Just yesterday, she had just made up her mind to protect her mother, and she really regarded her as her own mother!
They also agreed, Ling Qingrui went to deliver medicinal food at dinner, and her mother promised to eat it!
How unfair was Heaven to her? Don't you have to let her have no relatives around her!
What caught her eye was a plain white, which deeply stabbed Ling Qingrui's heart, but also made her sanity slowly return!
Tears quickly welled up, but Ling Qingrui held back vigorously, her eyes were red, and she clenched her fists.
Standing outside Ling's bedroom, Ling Qingrui didn't want to push open the door, how much she hoped that none of this was true.
"Miss......"
Mama Wei and Chu Xue chased after her, and Mama Wei, who had woken up, looked at Ling Qingrui's back distressedly, wanting to persuade but not knowing what to say.
"Mama Wei, how did my mother die?" When Ling Qingrui first spoke, her voice was still trembling slightly, but when she said the last few words, she had completely calmed down, even with a hint of coldness.
She didn't believe that her mother would go like that for no reason! It's true that my mother's health is not very good, but it is absolutely impossible to die violently!
She just went out to incense once, is this the real reason why Aunt Shen asked her to go to incense and pray for blessings?
Ling Qingrui's body gradually became cold, if it was really Aunt Shen, then she must send Aunt Shen to hell!
Even Mama Wei sensed this coldness, and couldn't help but look at Ling Qingrui who turned to face her in surprise, and was immediately even more surprised to find that Ling Qingrui didn't shed a single tear!
Mama Wei's heart suddenly colded, Madame was so good to Miss, so good that she could even give up everything......
"Mama Wei, don't let me repeat it again!" Ling Qingrui's voice was even colder.
The door suddenly opened from the inside at this moment, interrupting what Mama Wei wanted to say.
Ling Qingrui just looked at Liu Wenzhe, Ling's husband, walked out of it expressionlessly, and then passed by her side, without giving her a look in the corner of her eye, without even a pause, just walked over, and gradually walked away.
For some reason, Ling Qingrui suddenly had the courage to walk in, walked to Ling's bed, and looked at Ling lying on the bed without blinking.
Ling was wearing her favorite light purple dress, as if she was asleep, but her face was extremely pale.
Frowning slightly, Ling Qingrui slowly walked closer, reached out and touched Ling's face without the slightest temperature, and her heart ached.
At this moment, she seemed to have returned to the time before the time travel, as if she had returned to the time when her brother, her only relative, had fallen into her arms in order to save her.
The younger brother's immature face was also like this, gradually losing its temperature in her palm, gradually cold, he never rubbed on her palm as before, and never opened his eyes again......
Ling's family and younger brother, the two of them gradually overlapped together, so that Ling Qingrui couldn't tell where she was.
It was only after a long time that Ling Qingrui understood that it was this kind of "coincidence" that made her lose her calm and be full of strange stubbornness when faced with the sudden death of her mother!
Ling Qingrui unconsciously bit her lip tightly, as if this would relieve the pain in her heart, until the blood slowly flowed down until she tasted the full smell of blood.
She tilted her head slightly, trying to suppress the tears that wanted to burst out of her eyes!
At this moment, her fingers trembled violently, because she clearly saw that Ling's placket was inadvertently hooked by her fingers, and the skin that was originally hidden under the placket revealed a very strange cyan, but it was fleeting!
What is that?
Ling Qingrui stretched out her hand to untie Ling's clothes.
"Miss!" Seeing this, Mama Wei hurriedly came to stop her, "What is this going to do?" Miss, if you want your lady to die, won't you be able to live in peace......"
"Shut up!"
Ling Qingrui coldly spit out two words, but the movements of her hands were faster, and after untying the placket, her fingers stretched out to the plain belly pocket that Ling was wearing.
Mama Wei was completely stunned, she didn't know what Ling Qingrui was going to do, she just subconsciously pounced to stop her.
Who knows, Ling Qingrui has already quickly untied Ling's belly pocket, revealing Ling's skin, and there is a trace of cyan at the mouth of her heart down to the collarbone, which is hidden from time to time and even slowly disappears.
With just one glance, Ling Qingrui already understood that her judgment was not wrong, and it was indeed the poison of falling feathers!
The poison of falling feathers, colorless and tasteless, but it is a poison that seals the throat with blood, and the poisoned person is like a deep sleep, so that people can not see anything unusual, except for the two hours of poisoning and death, the heart and mouth are hidden from time to time cyan.
After two hours, no one could find out that the poison of the falling feather had ever existed, and now that it was obviously two hours, the cyan color on Ling's body began to disappear until there was no trace left.
Ling Qingrui waved away Mama Wei, who was rushing over, and gently helped Ling put on her clothes and straighten out the folds on her clothes.
After doing all this, Ling Qingrui slowly closed her eyes and wiped away the cold air in her eyes that seemed to be blowing a violent snowstorm.
Mother, I won't let you die in vain!
Whoever harmed you, I will find her out and avenge you!
When she opened her eyes again, there was only a coldness left in Ling Qingrui's gaze.
"Mama Wei, let me ask again, why did my mother pass away, and what happened today? Mother has seen someone! ”
"Miss, Miss."
"Say!" Ling Qingrui's voice seemed to condense into ice.
Mama Wei shuddered, and looked at Ling Qingrui with a gaze that seemed to have seen a ghost, but she didn't dare to delay telling everything she knew.
Ling Qingrui deliberately asked Aunt Shen carefully about her movements, including the maids and others beside her, and learned that she had never left Liu Mengyan's Ziyan Pavilion, but she still did not give up, and asked the maids in the Ling family's courtyard one by one.
The Ling family seemed to have been in the room all the time, and no one had ever come, until Mama Wei found that the Ling family had lost her breath, so she notified Liu Wenzhe, and white lanterns and other things were hung in the courtyard.
Everything is normal, normal makes people feel weird.
After thinking about it for a while, Ling Qingrui said: "What kind of paper does my mother use on weekdays, and did she also go to my father's study to get it in the past?" ”
"Madame has always used water-patterned rice paper, and in the past, I occasionally asked the slave maid to go to the master to get some to use."
Nodding slightly, Ling Qingrui suddenly fell on Mama Wei, and asked in a cold voice, "Mama Wei, where did you go when you went out twice, and why did you leave for so long!" ”
Hearing this, Mama Wei seemed to understand what Ling Qingrui meant, her face suddenly became even more ugly, and her voice trembled and said, "Madame said that Miss likes to eat lotus root powder cloud cake the most, let the slave maid go to the kitchen to keep an eye on it, and let the cook make it more finely." Later, the lady asked the slave maid to go to the master's study and brought some water-patterned rice paper. ”
After a pause, Mama Wei's tears burst out of her eyes, and she choked up: "The slave and maid watched the lady grow up, and if she said a disrespectful word, the lady is like the daughter of the slave and the maid, how could the slave and the maid harm the lady!" ”
Looking at Mama Wei's tears, Ling Qingrui did not have the slightest softness, and asked in a cold voice, "How do you know that your mother was killed by someone?" ”
"The slave doesn't know, but the lady was fine before the slave went out."
Ling Qingrui stared at Mama Wei for a long time before slowly retracting her gaze and asking, "What did my father do after he came?" ”
Mama Wei wiped away a handful of tears and replied, "The master seems to have said something to Ning Feng, probably to tell some things about the aftermath of the funeral." Later, the old man stayed alone in the lady's room, and had just left when the young lady returned. ”
"Didn't call a doctor, didn't find out the cause of my mother's sudden death?"
"Nope." Mama Wei's heart couldn't help but cry out for her wife.
No!
Liu Wenzhe, you are really ruthless enough! His wife died for no reason, and he didn't even go to find out the reason, so she was killed!
Anger stained Ling Qingrui's eyes, no matter what the truth about your mother's death is, Liu Wenzhe, you will eventually pay the price for your indifference.
Getting up, Ling Qingrui searched in Ling's room.
If someone poisoned her, how did she do it? You should always leave some clues.
Ornaments, clothes, bedding, tea, food, everything she could think of, Ling Qingrui looked carefully, but she still didn't find any traces, she couldn't find out how Ling was poisoned.
Nothing was found, which made Ling Qingrui feel like she was almost suffocating.
What's missing?
His eyes fell on the plate of lotus root powder cloud cake on the table, Ling Qingrui slowly reached over, twisted a piece and put it in his mouth.
The pastry melts in your mouth, and it seems to be stained with the smell of the Ling family.
Mama Wei on the side looked at Ling Qingrui sadly, although Miss was still suspicious of her just now, but for some reason, she had a feeling that she believed that only the young lady in front of her could find out the murderer who killed Madame.
Thinking of Madame, Mama Wei couldn't help but cry again, and in the hazy eyes of tears, Mama Wei saw a corner of turquoise exposed by Ling's pillow.
Suddenly remembering something, Mama Wei hurriedly took out a purse from her arms, which was also turquoise, and then almost choked up and said: "This is the purse that Madame stayed up late last night to embroider for Miss, saying that it was for the slave maid to make a good-looking tie on it and then give it to Miss, but I didn't expect Mrs. to give it to Miss herself." ”
Ling Qingrui held the purse in her palm, slowly tightened her fingers, and held the purse firmly, but suddenly felt that there seemed to be something in the purse that made her panic.
