Chapter 55 Human Life is at the Sky
This little maid obviously just entered the house. When she encountered such a thing, she shouted in front of Sima Rui, who was a guest.
"Oc's it, I know." Qin Yunuan showed an unexpected calmness. She bent her knees and saluted Sima Rui, "Yu Nuan is missing." After that, she followed the little maid out of the yard and went straight to the backyard. Although her footsteps were fast, she did not panic. She had long expected that the drama was constantly staged from Tong's surveillance in the morning to hearing the lotus move on the crab bag.
After bypassing a rockery, I saw that many people had gathered close to the back door. Except for Qin Zhi, Qin Linfeng and Aunt Liu, Dou Qing'e and Qin Yunzhuang also rushed over as soon as they received the news. Although the banquet outside was nearing the end, now only Aunt Chang was left to host. The overall situation has long since I thought it had dispersed.
The originally dim backyard temporarily lit a lot of torches. Under the firelight, Qin Zhi's face showed an unreachable gloomy, while Qin Yuwan's little face in Aunt Liu's arms became more and more red in the orange firelight. Qin Yuwan desperately hid her head in Aunt Liu's arms, as if she wanted to take herself Hide it with the five-fingerprints that are faintly visible on the cheeks.
And Shangguan, who had a bad temper, was still half drunk and allowed others to help him. In front of him was Shangguan Yuan, and his body always seemed to cover Shangguan Rang, who had caused trouble intentionally or unintentionally, and talked to Qin Zhi.
"Today, the dog has lost his manners and despised Miss Qin Er. Please rest assured that my Shangguan family is by no means unrighteous, and it will certainly not tarnish the reputation of Miss Qin Er. Now both the dog and Miss Qin have reached the age to talk about marriage. Within three months, my Shangguan family's bride price must be at home." Shangguan Yuan pulled off his old face and made a promise. The direct son he carefully taught actually stole chickens and dogs in other people's backyards and privately met the girls who had not come out of the cabinet. Fortunately, Captain Qin was also an interesting person and agreed to be private. If not, it was also a waste of damaging the reputation of the Qin family.
Shangguan Rang didn't seem to accept his father's love, and maybe he was drunk: "Dad, what are you talking about? Let me marry her?" Shangguan asked to stagger at Qin Yunuan and looked disdainful. "Such a woman who desperately wanted to climb to our Shangguan's house grabbed a lot outside and actually said that I was frivolous of her? It was obviously she who invited me here. I remember clearly that a woman brought me here. I have a witness.
"Beast! Shut up!" Shangguan Yuan's face became extremely ugly. "I just asked who the woman who led the way was, and you said that you didn't see clearly in the dark light. You are obviously drunk." After saying that, he ordered the little one who came with him to carry the upper official back.
Qin's face finally eased a little, but his eyes were still cautious when he looked at Qin Yunuan. When he saw Qin Yunuan coming, he did not greet him at all. He asked coldly and directly, "Is there a maid in your yard, instead of listening to the lotus?"
Qin Yunuan suddenly felt that two deep and slightly proud eyes pierced straight. As soon as she looked up, she really saw Qin Linfeng's narrow eyes.
"Yes, Tinghe is indeed a second-class maid in Yu Nuan's yard." Qin Yu warmly took a frank step forward. This move fell into the eyes of Dou Qing'e and Qin Yun's makeup and became a joke. Dou Qing'e wanted to speak, but Qin Zhi's previous warning sounded in her mind - "I should have sent you, a unruly woman to the temple, but all the colleagues will come to today's banquet. You'd better remember what to say. What should I say? If I want to make trouble again, I will ask Yunzhuang and Linfeng to go to the temple to accompany you.
It doesn't matter if she leaves, but Yunzhuang and Linfeng are her treasure. How can she be willing to let her children suffer with her? What's more, leaving one more person in the Qin family is to leave one more hope.
It happens that now, hope is coming.
As soon as Qin Yunuan's words came out, the expressions of Aunt Liu and others present immediately became ferocious.
"Well, I heard that He is your maid, and now the maid in your yard has died! Do you know?" Aunt Liu shouted at the top of her voice, as if trying to change Qin's attention from Qin Yuwan, who had just lost face, to Qin Yunuan, but this move did not seem to work. Qin Zhi was so meticulous. Naturally, she saw Aunt Liu's thoughts at a glance. With just a glance, Aunt Liu shocked half a sentence. I can't say.
"Life?" The panic and surprise on Qin Yunuan's face were really real. She half covered her mouth and her fingertips seemed to tremble, "How can it be! I heard that He was fine this morning. Later, Yu Nuan was busy going to the banquet and didn't care where the girl went. Why did she suddenly... Father, is the news true?
Qin Zhi's gloomy nasal sound seems to be squeezed out of his nose: "The body is behind the rockery in the backyard. Do you think there will be any fake?"
Qin Yunuan was slightly stunned, and her eyes on the rockery in the right front became more and more distant.
The whole story was known in an instant.
Qin Linfeng thought that Qin Yunuan would really send Qin Baochuan out of the house from the back door, so he secretly sent people to guard the back door and prepare to wait for the rabbit. Unexpectedly, Qin Baochuan's carriage did not wait, but Qin Linfeng's people met Qin Yuwan and Shangguan, who came to the private meeting, and also clashed with Shangguan, who had a young master's temper. At the time of chaos, the body that had become cold after the rockery was found.
In this way, Shangguan's private meeting with Qin Yuwan became a trivial matter, and the matter of the dead became a major event.
There was an unknown dead man in the lieutenant's house, and the one who died was still a maid in his own house. If it spreads, the rumors were enough to blow this simple and quiet house out of the waves.
In order to avoid bad luck, only a few experienced families on the other side of the rockery are testing and will come to report a few words from time to time. It seems that Qin Zhi has not report to the official. If he wants to deal with it in private, it is to investigate in the house. The first goal of the investigation is Qin Yunuan, who is standing in front of Qin Zhi at this moment.
"I heard that He is the third sister's maid. This suddenly died, and the third sister has nothing to say?" Qin Yun covered her handkerchief and looked at the other side of the rockery with dodged eyes. She still tabooed these, but this was an opportunity to step on Qin Yunuan to death and vent her anger for her mother.
Qin Yunuan also said bluntly and determinedly, "Listening to the death of He has nothing to do with me."
"Why did the third sister come from such self-confidence?" Qin Yunzhuang shook his head disdainfully, "I heard that the third sister is nepotism, and only valued a few old people who have served their sister for a long time in Fuxiyuan. The new maids are not popular. Maybe some ignorant maid in Fuxiyuan bullied him under the indulgence of the third sister, and then..."
"Is the eldest sister joking?" Qin Yunuan looked at Qin Yun makeup coldly, "The family members who just checked and heard the cause of He's death said that there were several bruises on He's neck, most of which were strangled to death. The fingerprints were thick and powerful, mostly men, but they were all girls in my yard."
Qin Yunzhuang's smile became more and more strange: "Isn't Liao's mother beside the third sister still have a son? Remember to call her Huang Dashi. She has a good relationship with the third sister."
Qin Yunzhuang took this step very gloomyly. She transferred her original suspicion of the contradictions of the maid to Qin Yunuan. If it is a bad thing for the maid, Qin Yunuan is at most an indiscipline. But if it comes to Liao's mother and Huang Dashi, people who use their brains can get it. Who can use it except Qin Yunuan in Fuxiyuan? Can you touch Liao's mother and Huang Dashi?
Aunt Liu saw the situation and echoed, "Oh, in the final analysis, this maid is from the third girl's yard, the third girl's own person, and the third girl is gradually becoming a little famous in the capital now. How does she want to deal with the servants? We aunts really have no way to say."
Qin Yunuan only felt the gloomy and cold cool breeze coming, and even Qin Zhi's eyes looking at her became deeper and deeper. Qin Zhi's most taboo is that his identity as the head of the family is challenged.
"But even if Aunt Liu and the eldest sister are right, you have forgotten a key point," Qin Yunuan tightened a string in his heart. "The motive is my motivation to listen to He. It has only been a month to listen to He came to my yard, and he is also down-to-earth, and nothing has gone wrong. Why do I have to argue with a subordinate and fight in the house? Isn't it a dirty place for the lieutenant's mansion?
Finally, when it came to the topic, Qin Yun makeup suddenly showed a successful smile, and surrounded Rao Man, but the words were forced: "Third sister, what if there is? Chen Yue, go and bring the contract that was secretly given to me when he came to my yard yesterday.
Just when everyone didn't know why, the maid Chen Yue immediately returned to Caizhiyuan. When she came back, she still held a yellow envelope in her hand, and her face bulged slightly.
There is no signature on the envelope, but the slight cyan in the envelope seems to tell people that the paper made of the envelope is made of reeds unique to Jiangnan.
Qin Yun's eyebrows curved a beautiful arc, and Qianqian took the envelope: "This is the dead man who secretly gave it to me yesterday, saying that it was found when she was cleaning the third sister's room. She didn't know how serious the situation was. She only asked me to decide whether to give it to my mother. Unfortunately, I still have time in the future. After being looked at by his mother, the only witness died for no reason.
"Witness?" Qin Yunuan raised her eyebrows and smiled gently, "The word "Big sister" is really strange. It seems that Yu Nuan has done something shameless."
"What do you think?" Qin Yunzhuang's eyes slowly became long. "Third sister, think about it. If you admit it in advance, maybe your father can open up."
