Chapter 20 An Inch of Gold 20
The embroidered clothes messenger who went to search the silly aunt's bedroom found nothing.
"Mr. Marquis, the wing is a small room with only a few changes of clothes and daily necessities, and nothing else."
The silly girl happened to appear where the murderer appeared, which naturally arouses suspicion. However, it is true that she was lame, and no evidence can be found now. Even if her behavior is strange, it can be ruled out for the time being.
Huo Weilou looked at He Cheng, "The Taoist priest hasn't finished yet?"
"Xiaguan only went to see it in the afternoon, I'm afraid it will take half a day." He looked at the sky outside and said, "I will definitely figure it out tomorrow."
"How is Aunt Jade?"
He Chengdao: "After I changed my place of residence, I felt as if my heart was dead. I chanted sutras all day long without eating. I was guarded by government officials and didn't leave the house all day long."
Huo Weilou's eyes were filled with concentration, "Tomorrow morning, I will interrogate the servants in the house, and from tonight onward, I will not let anything that is unreasonable go unnoticed. The murderer started taking action on New Year's Eve, and left such words again, He is seeking revenge, and he is a member of the family. He may have done something before, but no one took it to heart."
Most of the masters in the mansion have something to hide. Since they can't find out the secret, they can only start with the servants. The murderer was not hidden in the mansion overnight. Could it be that no action has been taken before?
Bo Ruoyou's heart moved slightly, and he felt it made sense.
At this time, Huo Weilou stood up and strode out of the door. He stood in the corridor and said to Zheng Wen'an and others: "It's already late tonight, so we can all leave. You all should also recall that before the old lady's accident, strange things happened in the house. , since the murderer dares to commit murder repeatedly, he must know a lot about the target, and all of you here may be the next target."
The words made everyone change their expressions. Zheng Yunni was standing at the front, feeling particularly nervous and fearful at this moment. She did not dare to look directly at Huo Weilou, and subconsciously lowered her eyes to look at the ground in front of her, feeling very embarrassed. It was this expression that made Bo Ruoyou was shocked when he saw it.
She quickly looked at the silly girl in the corner, and when she saw it, she felt as if the sun had cleared through the clouds.
No wonder she felt that Sha Gu’s eyes looked familiar to her by the bamboo forest... It turned out that Sha Gu’s eyebrows were somewhat similar to Zheng Yunni’s!
The two of them have very different personalities. Silly aunt is timid and stupid, while Zheng Yunni is arrogant and graceful. In addition, there are scars on Silly aunt's face. Normally, you can't see any similarity in their facial features, but once they have a baby, With the same expression, the similarity was immediately obvious several times.
Bo Ruoyou felt more and more weird in his heart, and everyone who heard Huo Weilou's words began to leave. Bo Ruoyou looked at Zheng Yunni's back and hesitated to speak. At this time, Huo Weilou looked at her and said, "Don't leave again." Single."
Bao Ruoyou hurriedly came to his senses and responded. Huo Weilou said no more and took He Cheng out of the courtyard. Bao Ruoyou stood for a moment, then turned around and saw that the silly girl was still standing in the corridor. She walked forward. She said softly, "Silly girl, I'll take you back."
The silly girl raised her eyes and looked at her blankly, hunched her shoulders and walked with her to her residence.
She is not really stupid, she just reacts slower than ordinary people. Along the way, Bo Ruoyou didn’t ask any more questions, and she relaxed a little when she was away from everyone. When they arrived at her residence, it was just as the embroidered clothes messenger said. The side room was so small that everything could be scanned at a glance.
The lower courtyard is located a little away. Although her wing is alone, it is close to the eaves. The humidity in the room is extremely heavy, and there is even a damp and muddy smell drifting in from the back of the house. Bo Ruoyou sighs He said that being a slave or a maid is often a difficult time, "It's not peaceful in the house. From now on, don't go to Merlin alone at night."
Sha Gu curled her neck and nodded, not daring to look at Bao Ruoyou.
The embroidered clothes envoy was guarding outside, and she was the only two people in the house, but Shagu was obviously still a little afraid of her.
Bo Ruoyou's beautiful eyebrows suddenly knitted up. She helped Silly Gu pick up the fruit that day. Although she was timid and did not dare to look directly at her, she clearly remembered that Silly Gu looked at her when she took the fruit. He glanced at her and nodded to express his gratitude.
A strange feeling made Bao Ruoyou feel uncomfortable all over. She stared at Sha Gu for a moment, but she still couldn't figure it out. When she glanced away, she saw a silk seam placed on the pillow of Sha Gu's bed. Although the fabric of the sachet is expensive, the embroidery stitches on it are sparse and chaotic. Bo Ruoyou's eyes changed, "Did the lady sew this?"
Si Gu slowly turned her head to look, and nodded slightly.
Seeing how messy the stitches were, Bao Ruoyou guessed that it was done by the eldest lady. It seemed that Chuntao was right, the eldest lady indeed felt pity for the silly girl.
Si Gu felt uncomfortable with her presence, so Bao Ruoyou said a few words of comfort before going out.
On the way back to the guest house, that strange feeling lingered in Bo Ruoyou's heart. The silly girl was obviously timid, but just now, when Bo Ruoyou was standing in the small small room, he felt uneasy.
She returned to the guest house with thoughts full of thoughts. Chuntao waited for her for a long time and hurriedly came to greet her when she came back. "The girl is finally back. I don't know what happened just now. The house was searched again."
Bo Ruoyou smiled bitterly, and after taking a bath, he talked to Chuntao about Silly Aunt. Chuntao said: "Silly Aunt is really pitiful. It is said that she came here because of the plague. Her parents are gone. If she hadn't been taken care of by the eldest lady, If you pick it up, I'm afraid you won't survive."
"Because of the plague?"
Chuntao nodded, "There was a plague in Luozhou seven or eight years ago. Didn't the girl know? The eldest lady picked her up. The old lady felt something was wrong, so she had her investigated. Because she was innocent, she was She stayed in the house."
Seven or eight years ago, Bo Ruoyou was less than ten years old, so he really had no memory.
Bao Ruoyou said again: "I also saw the eldest lady making a sachet for the silly girl today."
Chuntao said: "This is what the slaves envy Silly Gu. When the eldest lady is good, she also does needlework. Not only that, she also makes two at a time, one for the eldest lady and one for Silly Gu. One, look at this, the treatment is the same as that of the eldest lady. Because of this, the eldest lady dislikes the silly girl very much."
Bo Ruoyou's heart skipped a beat, "Do two at a time? Are they exactly the same?"
Chuntao nodded, "Yes, but you should be able to imagine that the eldest lady never uses the things made by the eldest lady. They are all given to the servants, so the slaves have seen them from several sisters."
Bao Ruoyou couldn't help but clenched his fists. Thinking of Huo Weilou's words, he asked Chuntao, "Have any strange things happened in the house in recent years? For example... have any of the masters encountered any danger?"
Chuntao frowned and thought for a while, then shook her head, "I have only been in the house for two years... I have never heard of any master being in danger, but illness does happen occasionally."
As he said that, Chuntao's eyes suddenly lit up, "However, I have heard from the nuns about what happened in the past. If you want to say which master has the most disasters, it is the eldest lady who has the most disasters. She is five or six years old. I was seriously ill once, as if I was suffering from hysteria. Before I recovered, I almost fell into a lotus pond in the mansion. The Marquis was still there at that time, so he immediately ordered people to fill up the lotus pond."
Chuntao frowned and thought for a while, "It is said that he was almost burned by fire..."
Bo Ruoyou frowned, "Burned by fire?"
Chuntao looked hesitant, "It happened a long time ago. It seems to be a disturbance during the Chinese New Year. The grandma who told me about it couldn't explain it clearly. Even the servants are not sure whether it is true or not."
Seeing that Chuntao couldn't think of anything, Bo Ruoyou stopped asking. Chuntao turned to talk about other people's illnesses. Bo Ruoyou didn't seem suspicious, but just thought of what happened to Zheng Yunni. Feel weird.
That was many years ago. If the murderer had already taken action at that time, wouldn't he be able to murder a little kid of just a few years old?
But the silly girl’s eyebrows are similar to those of Bao Ruoyou. Although the eldest lady is suffering from madness, she loves the silly little girl very much. If she thinks the silly little girl is Zheng Yunni, except for her similar facial features, the two of them are very similar. The shape and contour of her face are completely different, and there are scars on the silly girl’s face. It’s not an exaggeration to say that she is ugly and frightening...
Thousands of thoughts were in Bo Ruoyou's mind. Before going to sleep, Bo Ruoyou said: "Tomorrow morning, please accompany me to see the place where the young lady fell into the lotus pond..."
Chuntao responded quickly.
After a light night's sleep, Bo Ruoyou woke up again when it was still dark. She rubbed her forehead and woke up for a while before getting up. After washing herself, she woke up Chuntao and asked Chuntao to lead the way.
Chuntao came all the way to the east, which was the direction of the bamboo forest last night. "After the lotus pond was filled in, purple bamboo was planted because it was close to the bamboo forest. For those who didn't know, they thought the bamboo forest was such a big area."
There were embroidery envoys following today, but when Chuntao and Bo Ruoyou stood in front of the bamboo forest again, she still felt a chill coming from the soles of her feet. Can such a coincidence really be possible...
