Xu Jing smiled faintly and said, "Mrs. Xie Zhao cares, don't worry, I am measured." ”

She was sure that she had raised these doubts to Young Madam Jiang, but she couldn't determine how serious these conspiracies against Young Madam Jiang were.

Jing Dan quickly led them to a spacious and clean corridor, and said, "This is the place where the fourth lady painted the painting, walk along this corridor and turn right, and it will be the old lady's residence." The old lady is dedicated to eating fasting and chanting Buddha, and moved to Xiangmingju a long time ago, Xiangmingju is the most secluded courtyard in our Huaiyin Houfu, when he was a child, the four ladies lived with the old lady, and only became independent in the past two years, when the little snowball was in, the four ladies loved to take it to play on this corridor, and the young lady also teased the little snowball from time to time. ”

Jing Dan said, his eyes couldn't help but be a little gloomy.

I think that at the beginning, the relationship between my young lady and the fourth lady was not very close, but they also got along well.

Xu Jing looked at the surrounding environment, and saw that next to the cloister was a courtyard, the yard was full of flowers and plants, and there was a rockery pond next to it, because in autumn, the leaves on the trees had begun to turn yellow, but it was not yet the time when the leaves were falling.

After looking at it for a while, Xu Jing asked: "You said that after Mrs. Jiang witnessed the tragic death of Little Snowball, she didn't dare to walk on this road for a long time, which way did she go to the old lady's yard at that time?" ”

Ordinary people's daughters-in-law have to greet their elders every day, even if Mrs. Jiang is the wife of the Jiang family, she can't escape this matter.

Jing Dan pointed to an opening leading to the courtyard not far away, and said: "The young lady all went out from that opening, and followed the stone road in the courtyard to the old lady's courtyard.

It's just that the stone road in the yard is not as smooth as the road in the cloister, sometimes it is windy and rainy, and the servants don't have time to clean it, the ground is full of residual flowers and fallen leaves, not to mention, it is very slippery, and it is very inconvenient to walk, so generally speaking, everyone does not take that road, but goes to the old lady's yard through the corridor. ”

When Xu Jing heard this, her heart suddenly flashed like a flint.

Suppose that the fourth lady painted that picture with some kind of intention, what would it be? Purely to disgust Mrs. Jiang's words, why didn't she paint sooner or later, but waited until this time to paint?

What if her purpose was not just to disgust Young Lady Jiang? It's not to disgust her, there is only one purpose - I want Young Mrs. Jiang to recall the picture of seeing Little Snowball's death with her own eyes!

When Mrs. Jiang saw the tragic situation of Xiao Xueqiu's death, she didn't want to walk this corridor because she had a pimple in her heart, assuming that this time, Mrs. Jiang didn't take this corridor because of this reason, then she could only go to the old lady's courtyard through the stone road in the courtyard as she did at the beginning!

On that stone road, what's there!

Xu Jing suddenly raised his steps without saying a word, and quickly went to the courtyard, Zhao Shaohua and Jing Dan were stunned, and hurriedly followed in confusion, "Doctor Xu, what are you doing in the courtyard?" ”

Xu Jing didn't answer their questions, and after walking to the stone road in the yard, she found that the vegetation on both sides of the road was not ordinary, all kinds of ancient trees and flowers were distributed left and right, and even looked a little messy, and the branches of some trees had grown, but no one pruned them.

Xu Jing frowned, "Isn't there a gardener in the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion who is specifically responsible for the gardening of the yard?" ”

Jing Dan was stunned for a moment, and said: "Yes, if the slave is not mistaken, there are a total of six gardeners in the house, and each gardener has his own area of responsibility." The gardener in charge of this area is the son of Mrs. Nurse, and he relies on his relationship with Mrs. to steal and play tricks from time to time on weekdays, although Mrs. knows about this, but because of her feelings for her own nurse, and although the gardener has a time of cheating and tricking, he is used to doing superficial work, so he turns a blind eye. ”

Because for a period of time, his young lady often walked this road, and Jing Dan knew so much about the gardener.

Xu Jing stretched out her hand and touched the branches that had already grown, and said, "No matter how lazy you are, you can't even prune the branches that have grown on the stone road." ”

This is in front of the old lady's yard, and if the gardener's work is so rough, how can the old lady have an opinion.

Jing Dan was slightly stunned, this is indeed a little strange.

She shook her head and said, "His work is not so rough, there should be some reason, let the slave find someone to ask......"

At this time, a maid passed by in the corridor, Jing Dan's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly beckoned to her: "Sister Qiao'er, Sister Qiao'er, just now, let me ask you, what happened to Liu Da, who is in charge of this area, recently?" The branches of the trees have grown so long that they are not pruned on the road, and when I took our young lady's guests past here, their clothes were all hooked. ”

The maid who called Qiao'er stopped, glanced at Xu Jing and Zhao Shaohua, pouted and said: "Then Liu Da has taken leave for the past two days, saying that he had eaten a bad stomach, and originally said that he would be able to come to the duty today, but who expected that he sent someone over this morning to say that he was still in a dark place, and it is estimated that it will have to be delayed for two more days."

Madame wanted to find someone to replace his job temporarily, but what Liu Da looked like on weekdays, you know, the gardeners next to him were not very willing to take his job. ”

There were some things that she couldn't say clearly in front of Xu Jing and her two guests, but it didn't prevent Xu Jing and them from understanding what she meant.

This Liu Da is lazy on weekdays, doing his best to do superficial work, and he doesn't know how much he has escaped from the work that others can't see with the naked eye, who knows where outsiders can't see, how rotten the area he is responsible is, and other gardeners are certainly not willing to wade into this troubled water.

And Mrs. Huaiyin Marquis must be well aware of Liu Da's situation, and it is not good to forcibly ask other gardeners to take over Liu Da's work.

This caused Liu Da to be absent in the past two days, and no one took care of this area at all.

Xu Jing suddenly asked, "Why did Liu Da eat bad stomach, do you know?" ”

Na Qiao'er was slightly stunned, although she felt that it was a little strange to ask this question as a guest, but thinking that they were young lady Jiang's guests, she still saluted and said, "The slave and maid don't know, if the lady is curious, you can ask the servant who is familiar with Liu Da." ”

Xu Jing didn't speak again, her mind was thinking quickly.

Something is wrong, although these things seem to be coincidences, she always feels that there is a line in them that connects these things together.

Mrs. Jiang's wind and cold, the stolen hairpin and hairpin, the strange sweet fragrance on the step, the painting of a small snowball, and the florist who suddenly took leave......

In Xu Jing's mind, a sudden flash flashed, and he stepped into the grass on both sides without saying a word, carefully pushing aside the bushes to take a closer look.

Jing Dan and Zhao Shaohua were taken aback by her actions, and Zhao Shaohua hurriedly said, "Doctor Xu, what's wrong with you?" But what's wrong? ”

Xu Jing took the time to check left and right: "I thought of something, I want to verify it......"

If it doesn't have on this side, it's possible on the other side.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, staring at somewhere covered by layers of branches and leaves, and her heart beat faster and faster.

Got it!

This is indeed a bad ...... against Mrs. Jiang Murderous conspiracy!
