It was late at night. The other girls were still sleeping, so they did not know that a foul wind had started blowing in Xiao Ling's courtyard.
As they rushed to the back of the house, some servant girls lowered their heads and closed their eyes as they rushed in with lanterns. No one dared to look around, but they could not control their eyes. When they saw it, they immediately sucked in a breath of cold air!
The lotus fell to the ground in a mess. Its face was pale and its eyes were wide open. Blood flowed from its seven orifices and its body was stiff. It must have died a long time ago.
The three girls did not follow him. They were all smart people and naturally knew that things were not good. They had long found an excuse to go back and rest.
Miss Chen's expression became colder and colder. She stomped her foot fiercely and ordered with a cold expression,"Bring the corpse of this servant girl to the backyard and get the coroner to come over tonight. Also, bring all the irrelevant people related to this servant girl to me!”
For such a thing to actually happen in the Xiao family, Miss Chen's heart was somewhat flustered.
When the coroner came in from the back hall yawning, Miss Chen's fingers were already white. The coroner bowed and said with a cold attitude,"This young lady ate a poisonous pastry. The time of the attack was probably in the afternoon. This young lady probably ate something in the afternoon.”
The coroner spoke very casually, but there was a flash of light in his eyes. It was just that Miss Chen was too immersed in this matter and did not see it.
"Sorry for the trouble." Granny Wang, who was at the side, immediately came over. Her face was filled with grief. After all, she had watched Lotus grow up. Although she was not very close to him, he was still her family. She was still a little sad. After serving the coroner well, Granny Wang seemed to have aged a little.
"You two servant girls are saying that a familiar servant girl came to deliver the pastries this afternoon, but that lotus snatched them and ate them? Where are the maids?"
Miss Chen took a deep breath and looked coldly at the two rough servant girls kneeling below.
The two rough servant girls looked at each other and lowered their heads at the same time."It was a servant girl in Fifth Young Lady's room. She was on good terms with us but after delivering the food, she disappeared and we couldn't find her.”
"Bastard!"
Miss Chen became even angrier. The tea in her hand smashed onto the ground again.
"Does this lotus have some good friends?”
Miss Chen was unwilling to give up. She frowned and asked.
The few maidservants below the stage had probably thought about it with Lotus. At this moment, someone stood up and said,"It's very good with that Lian Crisp in Fifth Young Lady's room.”
Crisp.
Fifth Young Lady.
It was Fifth Young Lady again.
In such a long time, she had already mentioned Fifth Young Lady twice. Miss Chen frowned a little and looked around, but did not see Lian Crisp, so she called the old woman to call her.
At this moment, Su Yan greeted them from outside the house. She carefully walked to Miss Chen's servant girl and said something. The servant girl came up with a frown and reported that Xiao Ling was seriously ill. He was very sad and almost dehydrated.
Miss Chen's expression was gloomy. Misfortunes never came alone!
"Go and find a few doctors. No matter what, we have to make Xiao Ling better!”Miss Chen became anxious, and her words became impatient.
Just then, the old woman who had run out to look for Lian Cui rushed back. Her steps were messy, and she fell to the ground covered in sweat."Furen, Furen, that Lian Cui is crazy!”
Miss Chen's heart trembled. She gritted her teeth and slammed the table and chair."Bring her in!"
When Lian Cui was brought in, her hair was disheveled and her body was covered in blood and dirt. She didn't know where she came from. She was half-dragged in and fell to the ground, wailing like a ghost."It wasn't me! Don't look for me! Don't look for me! I didn't poison you!”
Miss Chen's heart skipped a beat when she heard that. She lowered her voice and asked her gently,"Who did you poison? Who wasn't poisoned by you?"
Lian Cui was muddle-headed. When he finally saw Miss Chen, he quivered and actually understood a little. He knelt down and pounced over."Madam, Lotus's vengeful spirit came to find me. Madam, she wants to take me away!”
"You didn't kill her, so why did she take you away?”
Miss Chen smiled coldly and lowered her head to look at her.
Lian Cui was speechless and wailed like a ghost,""Madam, please save me. I don't know, I don't know!”
At that moment, another old woman who had been sent by Madam to look for Lian Cui suddenly rushed in. She held a small person in her hand. There were shining needles and a yellow talisman on it. The old woman's face was filled with panic."Madam, Madam!"
"Why are you shouting?" Another burst of anger. Miss Chen could not suppress this anger anymore.
"Furen, this old servant found this in that servant's room!”The old woman smiled arrogantly and handed a small child to the servant girl beside her.
The servant girl at the side also presented it.
At that moment, Lian Crisp had recovered a bit of his consciousness, but he was still immersed in what had just happened.
She was actually following the crowd, at least when she went to the back of the house to look for Lotus. However, she did not expect to see Lotus's corpse.
The eyes of the corpse seemed to be staring straight at her!
She panicked and ran out in a panic. She had just asked Lotus to help her with something, and it seemed that she had just finished it. How did it become like this?
She panicked and ran straight to her house. However, the usually short distance seemed to have suddenly become much longer. As she ran, she heard footsteps behind her!
She actually saw a lotus!
Yes, it was a lotus flower!
It was Lotus's clothes, Lotus's shoes, and Lotus's favorite makeup. They were approaching her in the night!
She panicked and was forced into a corner. She knelt down and begged for mercy, but Lotus insisted on making her pay with her life!
Lotus, I didn't kill you, I didn't kill you!
Just as he thought of this, he felt a chill run down his spine!
"Ah!"
His consciousness returned to his mind and he saw Miss Chen's cold face.
"Slut, what a big idea. How do you explain this?”A little person with a silver needle stuck in it smashed into her face. She looked at it in a panic and was shocked to realize that this was a huge basin of dirty water!
"Furen, this servant, this servant doesn't know!”
Lian Cui cried out miserably.
"You don't know? This was found in your room. Don't you know?”Miss Chen's smile was cold. She only glanced at Granny Wang, and Granny Wang's entire body went numb from Miss Chen's gaze.
"Lian Cui, what exactly is going on with the lotus flower?”
Granny Wang knew that she couldn't remain silent any longer. She immediately stood up, hoping that Lian Cui would say something to escape.
After all, Lian Cui was smart.
"Nanny, Liancui, Liancui doesn't know that this servant didn't harm Lotus, this servant didn't harm Lotus!”
Even the crispness of these few sentences made Granny Wang feel annoyed.
Miss Chen, who was at the side, felt relieved. This little one was found, probably the root of Third Miss 'illness. The death of Lotus was naturally attributed to Lian Cui. It was not because of anything else, but because she was the most suitable at this time.
It was better not to speak out about some grievances in this deep residence.
However, the servant girl outside suddenly shouted loudly,"Third Young Lady, Fifth Young Lady has arrived!"
Miss Chen frowned and ordered the servant girl to let them in.
The first to enter was Xiao Xun. She frowned when she saw Lian Cui's teary face. She walked up to Miss Chen and bowed.
Xiao Ling followed behind him. His face was pale and he still looked weak, but he was much better than when he was lying on the bed, completely unaware.
"Mother is in good health." When Xiao Ling got up, he coughed a few times.
"Ling-er, are you feeling better?”Miss Chen immediately went over and held Xiao Ling's hand like a loving mother. However, when she saw Lian Cui, her expression became even more fierce."This cheap servant stole your clothes and turned into a little person. Mother just pulled out the silver needle and I didn't expect Ling-er's illness to be cured.”
Xiao Xun's face turned pale when she heard this. She wanted to say something, but she swallowed her words.
Xiao Ling's eyes immediately widened when he heard that. He looked at the little one on the ground and saw that it was indeed wrapped in his personal accessories. He then turned to look at the crispness, and his expression was one of disbelief."It's you?"
Miss Chen was puzzled.”
Xiao Ling nodded." Mother, have you forgotten? Last time, my daughter's servant girl and Fifth Sister's servant girl quarreled. It was this Lian Cui who ended up being beaten 30 times by Mother.”
Miss Chen was smart enough to understand in a flash. She only gave Xiao Ling a deep look but did not say anything.
"Xun Er, is this the maid in your room?”
Miss Chen's voice was a little cold, and Xiao Xun felt a chill run down her spine.
"Mother, it's Xiao Xun's fault for not disciplining her properly.”
Xiao Xun immediately knelt down. She felt a chill down her spine when she saw the little one on the ground. She had always known that Lian Cui would not suffer any losses. She did not expect him to be so ruthless. A few days ago, she saw Lian Cui looking for the lotus flower and knew that something was about to happen. However, she did not expect him to accept it so easily. However, this matter was a little strange.
"Did you poison the lotus flower after you succeeded?”
Miss Chen already had some understanding in her heart, but when she looked at the crispness, her gaze became even more vicious.
"Furen, Lian Cui, Lian Cui doesn't know how Lian Cui killed Lian Hua. She's Lian Cui's good sister!”Lian Cui was crying and kowtowing on the ground. It was probably because he used too much strength that blood started to appear on his forehead.
"That was you. You used the lotus to harm Jinniang?”
Xiao Ling's face was pale, but he still looked up at the crisp, weak, yet powerful voice.
Lian Cui panicked when she heard Xiao Ling's question. It was obvious that she had done it.
Miss Chen snorted. Before she could say anything, Xiao Ling knelt down.
