"Miss, no matter how sad you are, you have to rest, and when the housekeeper comes back today, you will be able to relax."

Luo Ying is the first big girl next to the original body, she was supposed to die last night, but now she is telling her little master to comb her hair neatly with her hands and feet, put on her underwear, and then put on the outer linen clothes, and tie a filial piety belt around her waist.

Luo Ying quickly cleaned up her little master, and her mouth didn't stop:

"Miss, I asked Luo Huai to boil porridge, you drink some to cushion your stomach first."

"Well, maybe I slept and I felt a little hungry, so make me another vegetarian dish and boil an egg!"

Ripple commanded unhurriedly.

As soon as she heard Ripple say that she was hungry, Luo Ying also breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said:

"I'll go tell the kitchen, Miss, wait."

As he spoke, he brought the brewed warm honey water to Ripples.

Wu Youcai is just a little rich in the eyes of outsiders, but the ripples are the best to eat, but they are very low-key, and the high-grade wild honey that gets up early every day is not provided by ordinary people.

Ripple drank the honey water and went out again, and Luo Ying and Luo Huai set up breakfast in the dining room.

"Miss, you ate too little yesterday, I was afraid that you would have an upset stomach, so I specially boiled millet porridge, fried a celery lily, and a small plate of pickled radish."

"You don't have to accompany me, go down and have breakfast, let everyone in the family replace breakfast, and you can't leave the door."

Ripple had already dug a spoonful of porridge into the mouth, and told his two big maids to prepare it too.

"Yes, Miss!"

This time, the two did not hesitate, they both withdrew to make arrangements, leaving two old women at the door to serve.

Ripples had breakfast and went to the mourning hall, waiting to greet the guests who came to the door to offer condolences.

Yesterday came to the neighborhood, and today's business partners of Wu Youcai should come to the door, I just hope that the housekeeper can come back early, she is a girl who is not as good as Ji, and she will not deal with business matters.

Not long after Ripple knelt down, the housekeeper Wu Zhong hurriedly entered the courtyard, his face was very bad, his eyes were blue and black, and his navy blue robe was also stained with dust.

The first thing he did when he entered the courtyard was to confirm that the ripples were still there, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and then approached the ripples' side and whispered:

"Miss, the old slave has something important to tell you."

It just so happened that there were no condolences coming to the door at this time, so Ripple nodded, and after being helped up by Luo Ying, he went to the side hall.

"Steward Wu, it's hard for you to rush back overnight! Have you taken care of everything your father told you? ”

Ripple pressed the corner of his eyes with the snow-white silk handkerchief in his hand and whispered.

"Miss, don't worry, it's all taken care of! After the lord is in the ground, the young lady can go to live in the hot spring villa in the name of filial piety, where the lord has been arranged in advance, the manpower is sufficient, and the guards are also effective. ”

"Well, Daddy told me that we will do as you say, and when the spirit is over, we will set off."

"Miss, that's exactly what I'm going to tell you."

Wu Zhong said with a frown.

"You say yes."

"Miss, the house originally planned to stop the spirit for seven days, and then send the master away, but now that something has changed, I think that after three days of stopping the spirit, I will send the master to the earth for peace! I'm afraid that if I don't stop for too long, something will happen. ”

"How?"

"The Li family is here!"

"Are they here for the funeral?"

"Yes and no!"

"Steward Wu, you just say it!"

"Miss, after I arranged the affairs of the villa yesterday, I came back overnight, and as soon as the city gate was opened, I entered the city, and before the carriage could reach our street, it was stopped, saying that there was a murder in the front street, and fifteen or sixteen black-clothed and masked gangsters died.

I was in a hurry to come back, so I let the carriage move back slowly, Wu An and I walked back, and the officials surrounded the street, and the autopsy was being performed, and I only glanced at it in a hurry."

Speaking of this, Wu Zhong's voice was lowered.

"I found a familiar person, who looked like the son of the Li family's big house, I was afraid that I was wrong, so I took Wu Jian to see the excitement, came to the front and took a closer look, and found that it was indeed Li Jizu, the son of the Li family's big house, so I left Wu An to stare there, and I came back first."

"Butler, is that my cousin? Are you right? ”

Ripple asked, frowning slightly.

"Miss, I recognize it, when I first moved to Jiangnan, I went to the capital to give New Year's gifts, and once the young master saw me in person, so I remember it very clearly."

"My cousin is so strange, my father died yesterday, and he came to the funeral that night, who informed him? How could he have arrived at this time? And you said they were all dressed in black, and they died so close to us, this"

Ripple pretended to be surprised, moved out all the suspicious points, and said together.

Sure enough, the steward's face turned directly from red to white, and then to blue, and his panting voice was a little thicker, and then he looked up at his young lady and said:

"Miss, I'm afraid it's not good, if the Li family knows that Gongzi died near our house, they will definitely detain the pot on Miss."

"Don't worry, butler, let's see what Wu Andu has heard first, and then we'll make a decision."

"Yes!"

Wu Zhong saw that his young lady was stable, so he didn't say anything more.

At this time, Luo Huai outside the door said:

"Miss, Wu An asks to see you!"

"Let him in!"

Ripple nodded to Luo Ying beside her.

The conversation between Ripple and Steward Wu just now did not avoid Luo Ying, Luo Ying understood the danger of this, and her hands and feet were a little weak, but she still took two quick steps to open the door and let Wu An in.

"Wu An has seen Miss."

"How did the officials decide on the matter at the corner of the street?"

Steward Wu asked directly.

"The little one knew the head of the sun catcher, so he inquired, saying that these people were killed by two masters, and there were two kinds of wounds on the corpses, which should be protecting someone to avoid pursuit, but they died here, and they didn't have anything on them that could prove their identity.

Brother Sun, the head catcher, suspected that they were dead soldiers raised by the official eunuchs, and their identities were difficult to ascertain, so they could only be sent to the government office after an autopsy, and a notice was posted to see if anyone would come to claim the corpse.

He said that it is unlikely that he will be recognized, and the murderer will not be caught, and in the end these corpses will be sent to Yizhuang, and now they are in the third place, and the government office does not have so many frozen corpses. ”

Don't look at Wu An, who is only eleven years old, but he is articulate and clever, so he has found so much news in just a short period of time.

"Luo Huai, Anzi has done a good errand, let him go to the back kitchen for breakfast, and add two more eggs to him."

"Thank you, Miss!"

Wu An happily went to the back kitchen to eat.

This time the door was open, and Ripple took out a handkerchief, wiped the corners of his eyes, and said:

"Steward Wu, our family is doing a funeral, because my father left suddenly, and there are no idlers in the family, the masked gangster was killed, we just heard about it, and we don't know how much, don't you say?"

Wu Zhong immediately became agitated and understood what his young lady meant, and he didn't plan to recognize the corpse at all.

"Miss don't worry, I know what to do, it's just"

"It takes more than a month to go back and forth from the capital to Jiangnan, and the corpse capital stinks at that time, who can recognize it?"
