Chapter 45 Antique (45)

The eldest lady's hair became much better, and she became more energetic, so she held her hairpin and stared at the plum branches outside the window.

The pale bones are gloomy, and the plum branches stand alone.

The maid held the comb and carefully combed the master's long hair.

"Madam! It's not good! It's not good!"

Nanny Tang panted heavily and opened the curtain to enter the inner room, and saw the elder lady with a livid face.

"thump"

"Who do you say is bad?"

Nanny Tang knelt on the ground, not daring to move her hands, she lowered her head and said, "Ms. Yuan and Mrs. Du are gone."

"Who?"

Mother Tang walked a few steps on her knees and then stopped, and said in a low voice: "Yesterday, the fifth lady invited three ladies to play together, and she left the mansion before Shenzheng (16:00). It's just that news came from Yuan Mansion and Du Mansion today. , The two ladies did not return to the mansion yesterday. The servants searched all night without any news. The two adults asked the people of Jingzhao Mansion to help them, and then followed the ruts to find the carriage that fell into the cliff. It was just three servants and two The lady's... body is nowhere to be found."

The inner room was extremely quiet, only the rustling of the maidservants combing their hair could be faintly heard.

The eldest lady gently put down the golden hairpin and said, "What are you in a hurry for?"

"I……"

The eldest lady signaled, and the maid who combed her hair put down the comb and stepped aside.

"Yesterday, after I settled the bills, I had a headache again, so I sent them away. I remembered that you left for a while..." The eldest lady held the corner of her lips, "What are you going to do?"

"The servant girl came out of Yizhuyuan and met Mrs. Yuan."

"Is it just her?"

"Also... and Mrs. Du Liu."

"Really?" The eldest lady turned to look at her, "What happened yesterday, please tell me word by word."

*****
After listening to Nanny Tang's retelling, the eldest lady sighed softly.

"Princess Zhao's maidservant handed over a post, saying that the princess has hurt her hand and cannot enter the mansion to talk to Fifth Lady."

The eldest lady thought for a while, and then said: "Ms. Zhang Wu didn't hand in the post. You can check whether she has entered the mansion?"

"The slave does not know."

"The servants in the mansion have seen Mrs. Zhang Wu?"

"Should not."

The eldest lady said: "This matter... is interesting. When you sent the two ladies out of the mansion, did anyone see you?"

"The coachman and two servants fell off the cliff. I don't know if there are other people besides this."

This question was not answered clearly, the eldest lady didn't ask any more, and waved her hand to make him back down.

But Mother Tang refused to leave, and still knelt on the ground and said, "Yesterday's Mrs. Yuan was a bit strange, and she was not quite the same as the rumors. Slaves, look at her, she has a great reputation, so she doesn't care about a box of dim sum. It's just that Madam has a headache, so the slaves dare not speak up."

The lady snorted softly when she heard this: "It's late, so it makes sense for her to go out of the house. Although LY Building and Yizhuyuan are on the same road, they are really far apart. Even if she doesn't know the way, she should choose one." A closer road."

Tang Nanny nodded and said, "This servant also thinks so."

"You said, Qiniang walked to the Yizhuyuan with Mrs. Du Liu?"

The eldest lady didn't wait for the nanny to return, she said to herself again: "A concubine, if she wants to ascend to the sky, she doesn't think about her own ability. She found Mrs. Du Liu when she was only ten years old, and she didn't even think about staying in Du's mansion." Over the years, how many methods have I learned.”

Nanny Tang raised her head slightly and said, "Mistress Seven is holding an item in her hand, which should belong to Mrs. Du Liu. The servant girl saw the water head of the jade, it should be something close to the body."

"Pass a post to Du's mansion, saying that the lady in the mansion is ignorant, took things, and didn't let the second lady trouble, so we made the decision."

Nanny Tang looked up at the eldest lady, and she regained her composure, her expression expressionless.

"Second Madam lost her beloved daughter, I'm afraid she also wants to find out."

The eldest lady's voice was as soft as ever: "Second Master Du still wants to move up his official position, but he won't."
