Black Lotus Concubine's Case-solving Notes

Xiao Shi slowly walked around behind Aunt Liu and asked, "Mother, have you confessed?"

"Confess what? Of course I didn't! If I confessed, would you still have a chance to survive in the Xie Mansion?" Madam Liu picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into her mouth. She felt that the meat was stewed so soft, sweet and fragrant today, and tasted a hundred times better than usual.

"Mom, did you say anything else? Or did you reveal who was behind this?"

Madam Liu snorted, "Are you asking if I have found out who the eldest lady is? You underestimate your mother. If I had found out who Meng was so easily, you would probably not have seen your mother by now!"

Madam Liu ate another piece of roast goose and said, "But don't worry, Xiaoshi. The eldest lady will definitely come to save me because she has evidence in my mother's hand. Go back and tell her that if she doesn't come to save me, I will not only confess what happened back then, but I will also blame her for the murder of my master today...ah!"

Matron Liu felt her neck tighten and she couldn't help but scream. The bowl in her hand fell to the ground with a thud and broke into several pieces.

"Xiao...Shi..." Aunt Liu's neck was strangled fiercely from behind. Her face turned purple, her legs kept stretching back, and she looked at the face of the person in front of her in disbelief.

"Mom, don't blame me..." Her tears fell to the floor, her face showed reluctance, but the rope in her hand gradually tightened, "Mom, Mom, please bear with it! It won't hurt, it will be fine in a while, please bear with it!"

"Why..." Tears flowed from the corners of Matron Liu's old eyes. It was despair, unwillingness, and a broken heart.

why.

Xiaoshi closed her eyes in pain.

She recalled the scene when Mrs. Meng called her into the room after the dinner, and the Sixth Young Master was also there.

Meng said, "Your mother committed murder. Do you think Xie Mansion can keep you?"

"Which place would dare to hire a servant who was kicked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion? I'm afraid you can only find a way to make a living in that ninth-class brothel."

"But since the Sixth Young Master likes you a little, I can not drive you out of the house. Not only that, I will also let the Sixth Young Master take you as his concubine."

"Just do one thing for me."

……

Xiao Shi opened her eyes, with only cruelty and determination in them: "It's all your fault, mother, for being too stupid. You've done so many evil things for the Madam for so many years. If you just accuse her of one of them, she won't be able to survive. And you caused her to be punished by the master today. She has to pay the family punishment! How could she let you go?"

Xiao Shi's hand tugged hard again, forcing Madam Liu to raise her head, which was almost bent on her back. Her eyeballs bulged and she began to drool uncontrollably.

"Mom, don't worry. The eldest lady has promised me that she will make me the Sixth Young Master's concubine. The child I give birth to in the future will no longer have to be someone else's slave like the two of us. Mom, isn't this what you have been looking forward to all your life?"

"Mom, don't blame me."

"You said that you have lived your whole life for me, and for me. Please help Xiaoshi this time."

"In order for Xiaoshi to live well, please... die!"

Xiao Shi exerted great force.

Matron Liu's legs were staring weakly, and her speed became slower and slower. Finally, her head tilted and she died.

Nanny Liu from the Prime Minister's Mansion died.

Commit suicide in fear of sin.

The rumor had spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital a month ago. Now, a month has passed, and the heat has not diminished. Several maids in the third room took the lead and gathered in the kitchen to start discussing the matter again.

"I didn't expect that Madam Liu would die like this?"

"Yes, Madam Liu used to be a favorite of the Madam, and she was domineering in the mansion. How many innocent souls died in her hands? Now she is finally dead, and everyone is happy!"

"This is what they call evil will be punished by evil! I think the newly returned Ninth Miss is not a good person. Look at the Madam and Aunt Liu, which one of them is not a tough character? Do you think either of them got the upper hand from the Ninth Miss again?

"Madame Liu is dead, and the eldest lady is still kneeling in the ancestral hall as punishment. I'm telling you, be careful in what you do these days, and don't let that Ninth Miss catch you in trouble, or you'll die without knowing how you died!"

"Sisters, what are you talking about? What happened to our Ninth Miss?" The maid Cui Chai walked in from the kitchen with a food box in her hand, looking at everyone with a smile in her eyes.

When everyone saw her coming, they immediately fell silent. Several maids bowed to her and left, leaving only Cuichai and Chunmei in the kitchen.

Cui Chai put down the food box, blinked and said, "Sister Chunmei, what are you talking about? Why did I just hear the name of our Ninth Miss?"

"Nothing," Chunmei coughed lightly to cover up, "We praise Ninth Miss for being well-behaved and sensible. You see, ever since our Tenth Miss fell ill, Ninth Miss is the only one in the entire Xie Mansion who is worried about her every day."

Chunmei took the food box handed to her by Cuichai, which contained delicious food and a bowl of nourishing soup.

"My girl said that this is called returning a favor. At that time, our girl had just arrived at the mansion and had no one to rely on. No one in the mansion was willing to take care of her. Only the third lady brought a bowl of soup. The girl was remembering the third lady's kindness." Cui Chai said.

"Thank you, Miss Nine."

Chunmei opened the food box and checked it as usual.

Cui Chai's eyes fell on her, and she asked inquiringly, "This Tenth Miss has been ill for more than a month. Why hasn't she recovered yet?"

Chunmei's face immediately showed a trace of nervousness. She closed the lunch box and said in a panic, "Tenth Miss is weak and often sick before. It's an old illness. It will be fine if there is a cold snap in spring. It's nothing serious."

"That's good." Cui Chai looked comforting, and then smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Sister Chunmei to deliver the food. I have to go back and report to Miss Nine."

After Cuichai left, Chunmei saw that it was almost time, so she took the food box and walked west until she came to a courtyard full of pear blossoms.

The yard was guarded by two rows of doormen.

"Is it sent by the Ninth Miss again?" asked the servant, looking at Chunmei's food box.

Chunmei nodded and handed the food box over for inspection as usual. The man was about to take it, but the servant next to him said, "Forget it. The Ninth Miss has been sent for more than a month. If there was any problem, it would have been found out long ago. Sister Chunmei, you can go in."

Chunmei nodded and walked forward. She saw an exquisite and luxurious house, but the door was closed and locked with a big padlock.

"Miss, I'm here to bring you food!" Chunmei shouted inside.

There were faint sounds of footsteps inside, and then there was a bang, the sound of a tea bowl smashing against the door.

Chunmei's hand paused for a moment as she was unlocking the door, but she still pushed the door open and went in.

The light inside was very dim, the tables, chairs and benches were all smashed to the ground, and the things in the cabinets were all overturned to the ground, making it look a mess.

Xie Changrong sat on the bed with disheveled hair, and she began to laugh at the beams. Chunmei felt that the scene was both terrifying and horrifying, so she put down her lunch box tremblingly, bowed, and left quickly.
