Chapter 31

The next day, someone found the swollen body of mother Rong in the lotus pond in the back mountain.

"How do you get it out there?"

Mu Yingxue leaned lazily against the open window of the elegant room, looking at the market outside the tower of star picking and moon watching, squinting at the sun.

Liu'er is accompanied by the warm autumn sun. It's very comfortable to shine on people. She seemed to understand why she liked it so much, far away from the smoky place. Sure enough, the sunshine here seemed different.

"It was mother Rong who stole a bag of gold from the house and tried to escape. Unexpectedly, she fell into the pool and drowned when she passed the back mountain."

Mu Yingxue stretched out her chin and looked at the sugar vendor squeezing sugar cakes into various kinds of animals and villains in the street. She thought it was very interesting.

"Do you believe that?" She asked faintly, and did not feel sorry for the death of the cook. There must be something hateful about the poor man. She had given her a chance, but she did not cherish it.

Liu'er followed her eyes and looked at the snack stand where the sugar man was made. As if she had thought of something, she asked in surprise, "is mammy Rong killed by someone?"

Mu Yingxue pushed aside the chair, stood up, smoothed the wrinkles on her skirt, raised her head and said to her, "yes or no, go back and know."

Seeing her concealment, liu'er had to follow up with a puzzled look on her face, but she couldn't restrain her stomach Fei. She was really more and more sophisticated.

Back to the muhou mansion, everything seems to be no different. The death of a cook seems not enough to stir up the tranquility of this deep courtyard, at least on the surface.

However, there is no airtight wall in the world. Soon, it was reported that mother Rong did not fall into the lotus pool, but was pushed into the water and drowned.

Ouyang Ruo looked at her daughter worried. She didn't know whether to ask or not. She found that the seafood soup was poisonous that day. She watched her take liu'er to carry the soup out.

Mu Yingxue looked at her mother's face, hesitated and stopped. Knowing what she was worried about, she held her hand and said, "Niang, I didn't do it. Don't think about it."

When Ouyang Ruo heard her say this, he was obviously relieved and said, "it's not good. Don't blame your mother for her thoughtfulness. She's just worried about you. She's angry and can't think of doing something stupid. " "But now it seems that I'm worried about my mother. When you grow up, you have your own ideas and opinions. I'm really glad to see you so sensible now. "

With that, Ouyang ruo's eyes were wet with tears, and he couldn't help himself. Sometimes she really felt that everything was in a dream, her daughter suddenly became so independent and independent, which was not supposed to think before.

Mu Yingxue was also softened by her words. She patted the back of her hand and comforted her: "mother, since you are happy, you should not cry. You believe me, our days will be better and better in the future. As for those who want to harm us, hum... "

She didn't want to say something that made her afraid in front of Ouyang Ruo, so as not to increase her worry, but she also wanted to give her some assurance to reassure her.

Ouyang Ruo knows that she is different from before. It is because of this difference that she worries more. She didn't want her daughter to get involved in the intrigue in the backyard garden of the muhou mansion, or even fall into a quiet fighting under the surface. If possible, she would rather she spent her life quietly.

So she solemnly said to Mu Yingxue, "my mother knows that you are a child with ideas, but you should promise to be a mother. No matter what you plan to do in the future, you must take care of yourself as the premise. My mother doesn't want you to have an accident. If you are safe, your mother will be at ease. "

Mu Yingxue listens to these words, the heart has only moved, solemnly reply a way: "Niang, I promise you, certainly take care of oneself."

Ouyang Ruo nodded with satisfaction and asked himself, "is that cook really pushed down the pool?"

Mu Yingxue turned to look out of the window at a blooming chrysanthemum, narrowed her eyes and said, "I'm afraid it is. I'm afraid she doesn't cherish her name. She has to go to a dead end."

On that day, she spared her death and let her go out of the house. It was indeed a tentative thought. She expected that she would not be reconciled to lose the fat job in the kitchen and go to Mu Yueli. She also expected that she would hide the truth from Mu Yueli, thinking that she had kept her secret for her, and would be protected by Mu Yueli. She did not know that this was the real reason for her death.

The reason why a secret is a secret is that before it is made public, the best way to keep it is to let the insiders never have a chance to speak. Therefore, only when she is dead will Mu Yueli feel at ease.

Although expected to have such a result, but when things really happen as she expected, in the end, she will still sigh at the lack of people's heart, and can't live by self sin. This feeling is helpless, but she knows that she is destined to live in the struggle in this life, so she does not feel sad because of this. On the contrary, it makes her understand that there are more things she has to do to live safely in this muhou mansion.

When Ouyang saw the vicissitudes of life on her face, he could not help but worry: "who killed her so ruthlessly?"

"There will be no one but mu Yueli. Only the dead will keep the secret. "Unfortunately, this secret is no longer a secret, and will soon be exposed in the sky.

Originally, the death of a cook was not enough to arouse the idea of those ladies and girls in the muhou mansion. It was nothing but a common thing in the inner courtyard of a deep house. But if this incident inadvertently becomes a warning to others and makes some people feel the fear of cold lips and teeth, then it will become different.

On that day, mu Yingxue poisoned the wild dog with poisonous seafood soup in front of all the cooks on that day, and expelled the most suspected mother Rong from the opening Hou's house, and ordered everyone not to disclose the matter. If mother Rong does not die, the matter will be over, and Mu Yueli can naturally stay out of the affair and not be investigated.

After all, even if someone accused Mu Yueli of poisoning, but no one saw it after all. It is not believable to rely on the words of one or two cooks. Besides, mu Yingxue is alive well, and she will be bitten back and accused of framing a good man.

But things are different now that people die.

She waited for it to ferment, so that the perpetrators could eat their own fruit.

As soon as granny Rong died, it was the other living cooks who were afraid first. After thinking about it, the cooks headed by mother Li finally reported this time to the eldest lady according to her fear.

"What do you say?"

Xu Min stroked the soft fur on the back of Xiaoling Dang, and was stunned at the words of mother Li.

"Mother Rong was pushed down the lotus pond. Do you know what you are talking about?"

The house was burning with good spices. She was kneeling on the soft Persian carpet, but she felt as if she was in an ice cellar, shivering with cold all over her body.

They are just guessing, there is no evidence, but in order to prevent themselves from becoming the next Rong Mammy, they have no choice but to make such a bad strategy.

"In reply, madam, the fourth lady brought a pot of seafood soup to the kitchen that day, saying it was to reward the maids..."

"Wait!" Before she finished, Xu Min interrupted her, "do you say seafood soup?"

"Yes, seafood soup." Mother Li was sweating on her forehead. She didn't know where she was wrong.

Xu Min Mou color deep ground looks at her, wait for her to say again already had suspicion, but motionless color way: "continue to say."

"Yes." Mother Li wiped a handful of cold sweat and continued to say, "as a result, the maids haven't drunk it yet. The fourth lady changed her mind and fed the soup to a wild dog picked up in the kitchen. As a result, you know what? " She secretly glanced at Xu Min's face, but Xu Min of course would not be moved by her clumsy story skills. She stared at her coldly without questioning.

Mother Li had no choice but to continue: "that dog just ate a mouthful, then paralyzed on the ground, seven orifices bleeding. That seafood soup is a bowl of poison! Fortunately, the servants didn't drink, otherwise... "

Xu Min coldly hums: "that is four wenches originally did not intend to let you drink, flustered what strength son!"

Mother Li repeatedly claimed that she was wise, but the death of the dog was so terrible that the maids were frightened. The fourth lady asked the maids who poisoned the seafood soup and who instructed them... "

Speaking of this, I dare not go on.

Xu Minfeng's eyes congealed and asked coldly, "so this soup is from the kitchen? If you don't have the command, you dare to cook privately. You are more and more daring! "

"I dare not, I dare not!" Mother Li quickly explained, "it was mammy Rong on duty yesterday. She told the maid that it was the superior's order that she should give four rooms to add vegetables. When I heard that the fourth young lady had been rewarded by the emperor, I thought it was a reward for the fourth lady, so I didn't ask much about it. "

"Orders from above?" Xu Min narrowed her eyes, stroked the dog's fur hand, and suddenly stopped, "whose order?"

Mother Li quickly looked up at her expression, lowered her head and hesitated: "yes It's the marquis. "

"What?" Xu Min suddenly stood up and let go of her hand. The little bell slipped off her leg and fell unsteadily to the ground, making a sharp cry.

Seeing this, Hongling quickly hugs the dog and stares at mammy Li.

"Go on!"

Mother Li saw that she was angry, and her tongue was about to tremble. However, for her own safety, she forced mu Yingxue to ask the public. After Rong mother admitted the crime, she said it in detail.

After hearing this, Xu Min knows that it is mu Yueli who is playing a trick again, but he doesn't know how to feel for a moment. Thinking quickly, he said, "so you suspect that four girls are murderers of mother Rong?"

Mother Li kowtowed: "yes, the maids are very afraid. They are afraid that the fourth miss will anger others. They have to ask the eldest lady to make decisions."

Although Xu Min resents Mu Yueli's self assertion and even dares to harm people in the name of Mu Yunxiao, knowing this matter, no matter what the truth, is a good opportunity to get rid of Mu Yingxue's mother and daughter.
