Mrs. He died suddenly, not to mention that everyone in the house was busy with the funeral of the late wife, so that for a while, except for those who watched the excitement, there was no one to take care of her funeral.
The few people she had befriended quickly had already been in a fight, so how could they care about a dead person like her?
So when Lin Mengya arrived at the scene, most of Mrs. He's body was already buried in the snow.
The blood that had lost its temperature was also sealed, and the man whose head was half kicked to pieces could no longer look intact.
Lin Mengya intentionally took a few steps forward to take a closer look, but was stopped by the people next to her.
"Miss Ya, please be careful. This man is so angry that he might turn on you!" .??.
She has never been so superstitious about ghosts and gods.
But they were kind-hearted, and she didn't appreciate it.
He nodded and asked in detail about the incident.
The things were basically similar to what Cairu had heard. There were only two doubts that she had not solved yet.
First, in such weather, why did Mrs. He come to the stable so early in the morning if she wasn't staying in her house?
Secondly, on snowy days, the animals in the stables are afraid of being frozen, so they are kept tightly in the stables and are not allowed to come out, and they will not easily go crazy and run out to hurt people.
She raised her head and glanced at the empty stable.
"Where are the horses?" she asked the person next to her.
The latter's face was a bit unsightly, and he whispered, "The person in charge of looking after the horses came back and reported that the horses were going crazy. The steward was afraid of hurting other people, so he gave an order to kill all the crazy horses."
Already."
Lin Mengya's eyes were slightly cold.
It seems that this is the plan to destroy the body and eliminate all traces.
Not long after, Mrs. Duan, who got the news a step behind her, also arrived here with people.
Compared to Lin Mengya, who was always calm and calm, Mrs. Duan's reaction was more like that of a wealthy lady.
Her face was pale, and after just one look at the dead body, her eyes quickly turned red, and even her voice was trembling.
"Why, how could this happen? Wasn't it fine a few days ago?"
As she spoke, she patted her chest, seeming very sad.
Lin Mengya, on the other hand, looked at her from a distance and couldn't help complaining about her acting skills.
Just a glance, I don't know if I can see it clearly.
From the look on her face, it was clear that she had received the news a long time ago, but yet he followed her behind. She must have had no good intentions.
Just as she was thinking about it, the other party seemed to have discovered her suddenly and walked up to her in a weak manner.
"Miss Ya, what's going on? Why is it that Mrs. He is dead when everything is fine?"
Although Mrs. Duan used her weakness as a packaging, Lin Mengya still read the other person's feelings. The accusation in the words.
funny.
I don’t know in what capacity the other party came to question her.
"I want to know too. Does Mrs. Duan have any advice?" She asked without answering.
"Me? How do I know?" Mrs. Duan said subconsciously, but soon she realized that this was a good opportunity to show off.
Rubbing the corners of her eyes, she looked a bit unbearable.
"Speaking of which, it was the steward's negligence that led to this tragedy. Miss Ya must have never expected such a thing to happen. I think it is better to put away Mrs. He's body first and let our family give it a proper burial.
That’s what she is.”
The words were implicitly accusing Lin Mengya, the person in charge of the family, of not being responsible. In the end, it was up to her, the future wife, to calm the situation.
Lin Mengya looked at the other party's natural look and felt it was ridiculous.
"Not urgent."
Her eyes were fixed on Mrs. Duan, as if she wanted to look directly into the most secret corner of her heart.
Mrs. Duan dodged unaccustomedly, but she was secretly scolding this country girl for being too presumptuous.
But on the surface, he was still trying to persuade the other party patiently.
"You are young, so of course you don't understand the impact this matter will have on our family. She is a mother-in-law, even though she is young, she is also the steward of our family.
If this gets out, people outside will definitely say that we treat the deceased badly. But you don’t need to worry about the funeral. I asked Xuer to help you, so you won’t be in a hurry. "
"You have to be buried, but you have to wait until the murderer is found, right? Otherwise, even if she goes to hell, I'm afraid she won't feel at ease."
Cairu's slightly hoarse voice fell into everyone's ears.
"Murderer", when the servants on the side heard these two words, they couldn't help but change their expressions.
Likewise, Mrs. Duan also looked surprised.
But then, she sighed quietly.
"Oh, I know you have good intentions. However, it is a common accident in every family for a horse to startle and kick someone to death. You are young and this is your first time seeing you, so you must be frightened. As for the murderer, he has already been killed by the housekeeper.
If you feel bad about driving her out and slaughtering her, I'll ask the butler to take the horse's head back later and bury it with her."
Seeing Mrs. Duan's few words, she wanted to finalize the matter. Of course, Lin Mengya couldn't let the other party succeed.
She took a step forward and stared at Mrs. He's dead body for a while, making the people next to her feel numb.
This Miss Ya is not as courageous as ordinary people!
"Mrs. Duan, if I read correctly, Mrs. He doesn't seem to be wearing a coat, right?"
Mrs. Duan's eyes changed slightly, but she didn't panic.
"It snowed very hard last night, so Mrs. He must have forgotten it."
"You know her very well. You know that she was so anxious that she forgot to put on her coat last night."
She suddenly turned around and said with a smile.
Mrs. Duan's heart suddenly jumped.
Although only half of her face could be seen, this girl's eyes were so captivating.
So much so that she would feel dazed every time and almost become careless.
"I'm just guessing. After all, anyone can commit such a sloppy behavior."
Lin Mengya said, "I heard that the reason why the old lady took her to manage the inner treasury is because she is very careful. Over the years that she has been in the house, both the master's and his wife's clothes have been washed properly.
The cold wind came more urgently last night, but I saw that everyone in the house was wearing cotton-padded clothes. This Mrs. He was really careless, why did she forget it? "
She paused, and before Mrs. Duan spoke, she said calmly, "Maybe she came out before it started snowing last night and was just busy with other things and didn't have time to go back to her house all night.
Then she was walking in a hurry in the morning, but maybe because she didn’t know the way, she took a long detour to the stable that was completely opposite to her house? Then she was really careless."
Her dense words blocked almost everything Mrs. Duan wanted to say.
We are all smart people, so we naturally know the difference between guessing and concealing the truth.
Mrs. Duan knew that it was best for her not to get involved in Mrs. He's affairs now, but she just couldn't swallow this breath.
Mrs. He was the spy she had managed to put in. In addition to controlling the inner treasury of the Zhao family, Mrs. He also had other tasks on her shoulders.
But now, people are just gone.
She lost a chess piece that was in her possession for no reason, so she must get some results.
I just didn't expect that this damn girl would be so cunning, she was just waiting to dig a hole for herself to jump into.
After squinting her eyes, Mrs. Duan returned to her compassionate and weak look.
"How could I know about such a thing? It seems that if it is really what Miss Ya said, the murderer must be punished severely. After all, the late Madam's funeral will be held soon. If something like this happens, I don't know what will happen.
I won’t disturb the late madam’s ghost.”
Seeing her worried look, Lin Mengya comforted her with a few words of comfort and then watched her leave.
Not her.< br>
Although Mrs. Duan was very annoying, Lin Mengya could tell that the other party was really angry about Mrs. He's death.
Besides, a person is more useful to her alive than dead.
Although she had already guessed who would do it, he alone might not be able to do it so completely.
Not to mention the fact that the horses were frightened, given Mrs. He's status and the previous differences between the two of them, it would be difficult for Mrs. He to be so anxious based on that person's strength alone that she would run over to seek death without even wearing a coat.
So who is behind the scenes pushing all this?
Lin Mengya spent the entire morning investigating Mrs. He's affairs.
So much so that as soon as she returned to the house, Long Tianyu forcibly pulled her to the charcoal stove to keep warm.
She didn't feel it when she was busy, but now when she calmed down, she just felt like she was completely frozen.
Her constitution is not intolerant to cold, and her body is somewhat special this year.
In another month, her little thing, which had been delayed in its growth before, will break through the ground again.
Long Tianyu didn't mind that she was cold, so he held her in his arms with his big hands, wrapped her up tightly, and used his own body temperature to warm her.
Lin Mengya shivered with comfort, and then curled up in his arms with contentment.
"I've sent someone to pick up your cotton-padded clothes for the winter. You should stay in the house honestly these days, and you're not allowed to go out and run around anymore."
She was about to speak, but her nose itched and she sneezed.
Ou Huo, finished!
Lin Mengya didn't need to raise her head to know how disapproving her man's eyes would be.
"I got it!"
She rubbed her belly, thinking that it was the baby in her belly that made her weaker.
But after all, it was her own cub, and as she was being rubbed, she could not help but be overflowing with maternal love.
"Speaking of which, in another month, the Zhao family's affairs should be settled, right?"
Long Tianyu nodded and rubbed her fingers with his big hands.
"It's just that this year, we're afraid we won't have time to go home for the New Year."
In fact, both of them are used to it, but now they have many relatives and friends who care about them at home, so they miss the place they regard as "home" more than in previous years.
When we are in deep love, there are always unsightly people outside the door to disturb us.
"Miss, Zhao Zifei told Zhao Xun that he wanted to visit you."
Both husband and wife were equally unwelcome to these two uninvited guests.
But Cairu had already said that it was not convenient for her to receive guests, but the two of them still barged in without taking her refusal seriously.
