Fu Rong Garden.

Old Taijun Cen sat on the upper seat, Cen Wei, Cen Lan, and Li sat on the side, and several young ladies and young masters of the Cen family sat below.

Zhao, on the other hand, knelt on the ground, heartbroken.

In fact, it's just a matter of dying, finding out the cause of death, and then burying the person well, there is no way to do such hard work.

The reason for such a toss is because Cen Lan proposed to make a customs declaration and ask a servant to come to inspect Wei Niangzi's body, and the Zhao family did not agree to let people desecrate the body of the deceased, so he made such a fuss.

"Wen Pei, tell me, why did this good person suddenly fall into the well?" Cen Lai Taijun opened his mouth and asked the Zhao family who was kneeling on the ground.

Because the first time the body was found, Cen Lan was going to send someone to find someone to do an autopsy, so he hadn't had time to ask about the details of Wei Niangzi's death.

Zhao shook his head, choked up and said: "Old lady, the concubine doesn't know, last night Wei Niangzi also served tea to the concubine with her own hands, how did you think that she would go today......"

"When was the last time you saw Mrs. Wei?" Mrs. Cen asked again.

Zhao's teary eyes sobbed vaguely, and he seemed to think about it for a while, before he said: "In the morning, I have eaten a little greasy these days, and I feel that my throat is not very comfortable in the morning, thinking that Wei Niangzi's skills in stewing sweet soup are good, so I asked her to stew some pear soup, but I didn't think that I would wait left and right and not see her come back, and I thought she was lazy, or forgot about it, I was a little angry with her, but because my body was not comfortable, and I didn't have the energy to worry about her, so I ordered the maid next to me to stew pear candy, how could I think." This man stumbled and fell into the well......"

Without waiting for Old Taijun Cen to continue asking, Cen Lan on the side suddenly interjected: "You still can't tell what is going on, but at this time, you are sure that Wei Niangzi is content and fell into the well?" ”

When Cen Lan spoke, her eyes were fixed on Zhao, not letting go of any subtle changes in her body.

Zhao was still crying, and said intermittently: "Fang ...... Fang Cai was confused in my mind, and now I think about it...... Thinking of what happened in the morning, I thought that Wei Niangzi went to the well to fetch water, so she stumbled and fell into the well...... The well is in the small garden of my garden, and the water from the well is the sweetest and most delicious, I want to ...... Mrs. Wei wanted to use the well water to stew pear soup for me, woo, I didn't expect her to fall into the well, so she went like this......"

Speaking of this, Zhao became more and more heartbroken, as if he was feeling guilty for Wei Niangzi's death because of her.

Cen Lan narrowed her eyes and stared at Zhao with sharp eyes, that gaze was like substance, which was difficult to resist, but Zhao always lowered her head and cried, not opposite Cen Lan's gaze.

"Zhi'er is there?" Old Mrs. Cen asked again at this time.

Immediately behind the screen, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old maid dressed as a second-class maid walked in, knelt on the ground with a "poof", and said in a trembling voice: "Old, old lady, the slave is in ......."

"In the morning, is it the pear soup you stewed for Wen Pei?"

"Back to the words of the old lady, yes, when, at that time, Mrs. also complained to Wei Niangzi a few words, saying that she had spoiled her all these years, and she had become more and more lazy......" Zhi'er not only trembled in her voice, but when she spoke, her kneeling body also trembled, thinking that she was frightened by the news of the dead people in the house.

After that, Mrs. Cen asked a few people in the Zhao family's courtyard, some said that they didn't pay attention, some said that they saw Wei Niangzi in the morning, and some said that they saw her go to the well in the small garden in the morning, but they didn't pay attention to whether she came back when she went.

Because the Zhao family didn't call Wei Niangzi to do things during the day today, although they all wondered where she ran and didn't see a shadow for a day, they didn't take it too seriously.

It wasn't until the evening, because Zhao liked to drink tea made from the water in the well, that a rough woman was assigned by the big maid next to Zhao to fetch water, and found the body of Wei Niangzi in the well.

After some interrogation, all kinds of signs are on the surface, that Wei Niangzi really fell into the well and drowned, after all, it is still winter, and there is thin ice at the wellhead, which is still very slippery.

Cen Xiyan watched from beginning to end, without saying a word, looking at Zhao's grief crying, he always felt very fake, noticed Cen Lan's sharp eyes when he looked at Zhao, and also understood that Cen Lan was suspicious of Zhao.

It's just, why doubt the Zhao family? Wei Niangzi is Zhao's companion, and she has been by Zhao's side for 20 years, and she is also one of her most useful subordinates, what reason does Zhao have to harm Wei Niangzi? And what reason does Cen Lan have to think so?

If the Zhao family is really not innocent, then I'm afraid there is only one reason, that is, what Zhao Niangzi has in his hands and knows some things that should not be known, right?

Cen Xiyan couldn't help but think of what he saw Chinese New Year's Eve that night, about the date between Zhao and Fan Jian......

Thinking of this, Cen Xiyan couldn't help but glance at Mother Feng, who was the most trusted by the Zhao family, and saw that Mother Feng's face was pale, her bloodless lips trembled slightly, and her eyes looked very frightened.

Because a dead person is indeed a terrible thing, others don't feel abrupt when they see Feng's mother so scared, but Cen Xiyan went to catch it, and Feng's mother's eyes were not only fearful, but also a trace of sadness......

Cen Xiyan retracted his gaze, but he was guessing in his heart that Mother Feng's sadness was not a kind of sadness of a rabbit dying of a fox......

At this time, Cen Lan stared at Zhao with sharp eyes, and then spoke: "There are dead people in the house, and there are many suspicions, I think it is better to ask the person to do an autopsy before deciding." ”

Hearing this, Zhao finally raised his head, looked at Cen Lan with teary eyes, and objected: "Isn't the matter already very clear?" Wei Niangzi stumbled and fell into the well, where is there any doubt? The deceased is the greatest, Wei Niangzi has been with the concubine for more than 20 years, and now the ceremony has unfortunately passed away, although because of the low status, the scenery is not good, but the concubine can not look at the corpse of Wei Niangzi who is forbidden by others! ”

When Cen Lan heard this, she sneered and said, "Are you suspicious, I can say a few things now, one of them, as far as I know, this Wei Niangzi is Aunt Zhao, the housekeeper lady you have to use, right?" When did the lady in charge also need to go to the well to fetch water? Second, I heard that Aunt Zhao treats her subordinates very harshly, and her subordinates will be punished for making mistakes, this morning you instructed Wei Niangzi to cook pear soup, but she disappeared, and you didn't think about punishing her, and you didn't even send someone to find her, and she disappeared for a whole day, until she was found dead in the well at night, your reaction today is so abnormal, how do you explain this? ”
