[Red Mansion] A little chef came to the Grand View Garden

That good sister rushed to Sister Feng in front of everyone, and shouted loudly: "Grandma, our aunt's death is unknown, and now someone wants me to die so I can keep my mouth shut, please help me, grandma!"

Sister Feng stood up in surprise, and handed Brother Hu, who was crying loudly, to the wet nurse, who took Sister Qiao down with her.

Sister Feng stood on the top and asked suspiciously: "Your aunt, is your death unknown?"

Sister Shan immediately knelt down and said: "I am the little girl who waits on Aunt Qiutong. That night... that night, my aunt saw that the second master was a little uncomfortable, so she only served the second master to rest early, not as rumored outside ... Auntie has a clear conscience, it is impossible for her to seek short-sightedness!"

At this moment, Sister Feng frowned, her eyes were ice-like, she looked at Sister Shan's face several times, and finally turned to Ping'er next to her and said: "The irrelevant people in this courtyard are borrowed to help with the funeral. People, let's all get out first... go and invite the old master and the old lady to come!"

Ping'er nodded, yes, he opened the gate of the courtyard first, ordering the servants and maids of the courtyard to retreat first.

However, Liu Mei had already occupied an unobtrusive place - she knew that Jia Lian died strangely, and this matter had always been on her mind, so at this moment, knowing that eavesdropping is not good, Liu Mei still chose to stay here .

She hid in a corner and peeked out, and saw Sister Feng sitting on the armchair in front of Jia Lian's coffin with a face full of frost, her eyes were like knives, she first turned around to look at Sister Shan, and then turned to Long Er sister over there.

Second Sister Long seemed to shiver, but instead raised her head high, trying her best not to show any guilt.

When Mrs. Jia Shexing arrived, Sister Feng brought Sister Shan out to testify that Qiutong could not have hanged herself, and said that she knew about it with the old man and his wife.

Jia Amnesty was a little annoyed, "Qiu Tong died as soon as he died, why are you asking these questions?"

Mrs. Xing didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, "Anyway, my daughter-in-law's yard has been cleaned up, and there is no one else. Why don't we ask first, otherwise if the old lady asks about it outside, the master has a good one." Prepare."

When Jia Amnesty heard this, he quickly shut up and stopped talking.

So Sister Feng first asked about the situation that night in detail.

"Second Master Lian said that night that he was a little tired and looked very bad. Aunt Qiutong helped him to sleep early. But in the middle of the night, Second Master suddenly complained of heart palpitations and chest pains, so Aunt Qiutong sent me out to ask for help. Doctor, I went to the second door, told the boys what I said, and ordered them to go quickly, so as not to delay the diagnosis of the second master. But when I came back, the second master was gone, and Aunt Qiutong had no legs Crying like a crab."

"I saw that my aunt was very scared, so I went up to say a few words of comfort. Suddenly, my aunt grabbed my hand and said... that when the second master was dying, he told her that before he came here, he had a drink at the second room grandma's." A bowl of sweet soup. The second master only felt that the taste of the bowl of sweet soup was a bit special, and then he became uncomfortable. The more he thought about it, the more something went wrong, so he ordered Aunt Qiutong to tell the master about this, and then the second master swallowed... ..."

When Sister Shan said this, the yard was quiet, and everyone gasped.

Only Second Sister Long stood up with a chair at the moment, pointed at Sister Shan condescendingly, and spit out three words neatly: "You—hu—speak!"

Mrs. Xing hurriedly ordered the maid beside her to hold Second Sister Long first, ordering her not to interrupt.Liu Mei secretly looked at the meaning, and there were servants surrounding Second Sister Long, who seemed to want to control her.

Sister Feng stared at a pair of phoenix eyes, and at the moment she was staring at Sister Shan, as if she wanted to see any clues of lying from her face.Ping'er opened his eyes wide, looking at Sister Shan.

"Then why didn't you say that earlier, master and servant?" Jia She asked coolly.

"We know that the matter is very important, so how dare we talk about it. Because the second master died in the aunt's room, the aunt knew that she would be questioned, so she found a reason early and asked the servant to go home and hide It took two days. After hearing what my aunt said, I didn't know that I heard the news of Aunt Qiutong's death just after returning home..."

"Master, wife, grandma..." Sister Shan kowtowed her head one by one, and cried, "Aunt Qiutong was entrusted by the second master, and she will definitely want to pass on the last words of the second master to the masters, no matter what I will not seek short-sightedness."

All eyes turned to Second Sister Long.

"Sister, what do you say?" Sister Feng said this, but the word "sister" was so cold when she spit it out of Sister Feng's mouth, it made people shiver after hearing it, as if Sister Feng hated her very much.

Second Sister Long forced herself to be calm, and said with a smile: "How can you believe this girl's one-sided words? The second master never came to my room that night. There are two maids serving in my room, and they can all testify for me."

"Since they are your girls, how can they do enough to testify for you?" Sister Feng said coldly.

"Then Sister Shan is also Aunt Qiutong's girl. She helps Aunt Qiutong talk, so how can she count?" Second Sister Long was shrewd and sharp, and immediately retorted back.

Sister Feng turned her head away, pondered for a moment, and said, "Go and lock up those two girls first, and we will investigate together later."

Second Sister Long became anxious, and said in a loud voice: "Grandma, how can you question my girl at will? I am also the grandmother of the second room who was married by the second master with eight sedan chairs. The second master promised me that day, except for my status. The top is a head shorter, and the rest I am the same as my sister."

This Second Sister Long spoke proudly, but the handkerchief in her hand twisted and twisted like twists and turns.

When Sister Feng heard this, she said in a cold voice: "If you can bring Second Master back to life and repeat this to everyone in public, I would rather... give you the position of the main wife on the spot."

As she said that, Sister Feng's eye circles turned red again.

Ping'er knelt down behind her with a "slap", took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears.

And the courtyard was full of sighs, everyone felt that Second Sister Long was too aggressive.When Jia Lian was there, he had indeed been kind to Long Erqian for a while, but he never thought that he would say such words -- but now, what's the use of saying such words?

Liu Mei thought, this Long Er should not be so stupid, since she knew that Jia Lian was her reliance, how could she secretly harm Jia Lian?

But now Jia Lian and Qiu Tong, who have gone through that night's incident, are both dead, and Sister Shan can't tell with her mouth.

At this time, Sister Feng turned to look at Sister Shan, and asked again: "Then you said... You said that now someone wants you to die so that you can keep quiet, so what's going on?"

Sister Shan unbuttoned her collar on the spot, and showed the two deep purple pinch marks on her neck.

"I beg grandma to help me, this is just today when I left the house and wanted to enter the mansion, I was grabbed behind the back and was about to be dragged to a secluded place and strangled to death..."

Sister Shan's neck looks like a bruise, which is the mark left when someone strangled her neck and couldn't breathe.

"Fortunately, someone passed by and scared the perpetrator away..." Sister Shan broke down in tears, "I know that this is not going to happen, I just want to say all Aunt Qiutong's last words before being killed, it is not in vain Serve my aunt..."

When she said this, Second Sister Long also came to her senses, pointed at Sister Shan coldly and said, "Don't use this kind of trick to coax people, if you want to make these bruises appear, it's you yourself, so be ruthless." Even strength can do it.”

"Furthermore, you said that someone committed a murder, and someone passed by to scare the perpetrator away, so where is the testimony now?"

Second Sister Long saw that Sister Shan lowered her head and hesitated, unable to explain why, she naturally thought that she was guilty, sneered, and said: "Since you have no testimony, you are accusing your master, you should beat him." Sell ​​it off, what are you still doing here?"

As she said that, she turned to Sister Feng, and said proudly: "I thought that Second Master would treat me with affection, and wanted to guard Second Master well... Now that grandma can't trust me, the servants in the house will do their best to treat this dirty woman. The water was splashed on my head, so I don’t think there’s any need to keep it up. Why don’t you just ask the master and wife to let me out of the house!”

As she spoke, Second Sister Long raised the corner of her skirt, solemnly rushed to the present Jia She and his wife and knelt down.

As soon as her knees touched the ground, she heard Sister Feng coldly say from behind: "Sister, this is your real intention!"

Second Sister Long was taken aback, before she could speak, she heard Sister Shan's sharp and high-pitched voice from behind, "It's her, it's her—"

"I saw it for real that day, it was Second Grandma Long... Underneath was a stone-blue horse-face skirt embroidered with lotus patterns and wrapped in a black cloak. She sneaked out of the second gate and went to the back street of Ningrong Come up to Wang's empty house."

Sister Feng also raised her voice, and interjected, "What day is it?"

Sister Shan replied in a trembling voice, "The second day after Second Master passed away."

"Go to the empty house on the back street, what is she going to do?" Sister Feng asked angrily.

The muscles on Sister Shan's face trembled, as if recalling the scene of that day, she felt extremely horrified.

"Back... to the second grandma, she...she is going to meet people."

At this time, Second Sister Long finally felt that something was wrong, her whole body began to tremble slightly, her voice trembled, and she reluctantly turned her head and shouted: "Don't spit blood... Where am I, where have I been out of the house..."

Her voice trembled so violently that everyone present could hear something wrong.

Liu Mei also raised her eyebrows together, and said in her heart: Could it be that Long Er really met others when he came out of the house?

Sister Shan said loudly: "It's you, after you enter the room for about a stick of incense, I will see you, I will see you..."

Her voice lowered suddenly, as if she was talking in her sleep, she softly uttered three words, "Uncle Zhen..."

There was a dead silence in the courtyard.

Everyone's mouths were wide open, unable to utter a single word.

Liu Mei was also inexplicably shocked - she never expected that Long Er would have such courage to meet Jia Zhen in private the day after Jia Lian's death.From this point of view, before marrying Jia Lian, Long Er had always had a relationship with Jia Zhen, which is probably true.

She didn't know whether Jia Lian's death had anything to do with Jia Zhen.

But Sister Shan dared to expose this matter in front of everyone, and Sister Shan must not be the only one who saw this situation.

She was planning to continue eavesdropping, when suddenly someone came over, pulled the corner of her clothes, gestured to Liu Mei to follow her, and sneaked out quickly.

Liu Mei raised her head and saw that it was not someone else, but her own mother.
