The impact of Du Juan's death was like a thunderstorm, fast and fierce, but quickly subsided. After the rain, the sky cleared, and no one mentioned it again. No one in the four gardens seemed to care about the death of a mere slave.
Cheng You ordered someone to bury her simply without giving her a title. Concubine Yun and Lou Yanran rarely mentioned her. Du Juan was abused after giving birth. Concubine Yun couldn't wait for this.
She disappeared from then on, and no one talked about her anymore, and no one said she was cruel or ruthless.
The house seemed to be calm again. The concubines and ladies played mahjong, went out to buy things, went to the lake, and passed the time. But no one went to the Biyue Corridor to enjoy the lotus. This cuckoo threw himself into the river and died on the Biyue Long Corridor.
Next to the corridor, the lotus flowers have not faded yet and are blooming in full bloom. But as soon as you admire the lotus, you will think of the corpse floating on the water, so no one goes to appreciate the lotus, even Yun Buhui rarely goes.
Yun Buhui took the sachet, but she did not immediately resolve the doubts. Instead, she waited a few days until the Du Juan incident had completely subsided. Then she took out the sachet and soaked it in water. The aroma was a bit weak. Yun Buhui used scissors to cut the incense.
The sachet was cut open and there was some jasmine inside. Yun Buhui sniffed it and poured out the spices without giving up. Then she found a small bag inside the sachet. She opened it and was slightly surprised to see that it was musk.
She held the sachet tightly, feeling as if there was a storm in her heart. The musk stimulated labor. No wonder Dujuan only had a slight miscarriage. She remembered that the first time she felt this smell on her body was when they were playing cards. Dujuan was standing next to her, and the fragrance
She didn't notice this smell for a while. It seemed that she had been wearing it for a few days, so Dujuan usually felt uncomfortable. It was really uncomfortable, not just pretending.
Yun Buhui looked at the sachet carefully. Du Juan definitely didn't know that musk induces labor, but she likes jasmine. She always carries the scent of jasmine on her body, and she definitely doesn't carry musk. Moreover, the amount of musk in this sachet is very small, only a little.
It looks like someone put it in on purpose.
who is it?
who is it?
Yun Buhui looked at the sachet carefully. The handicrafts on this sachet were very familiar, as if she had seen them before somewhere. She stared at them intently. She didn't even know Cheng Mubai had come in. When Cheng Mubai found out, Yun Buhui was startled.
It's too late to put away the sachet.
"Whose sachet is this?" Yun Buhui has cut it open. This thing doesn't look like it belongs to Yun Buhui. She never wears sachets. Yun Buhui wants to excuse it, but after thinking about it,
There's nothing to hide.
"This is the cuckoo's sachet. I brought it when I saw others were not paying attention." Yun Buhui said, giving him the sachet. "I found musk on her body twice, but it was covered up by the jasmine scent. I couldn't help it for a while.
I couldn't tell the difference. I saw her wearing a sachet on her waist that day and took it over. Actually, I wasn't sure there was a mystery to this sachet, but I just wanted to confirm the doubts in my heart. I didn't expect it to be true, so Du Juan's miscarriage was definitely not an accident.
, but someone did it deliberately.”
Musk induced labor, and the cuckoo became pregnant. She loved to use spices, so she put musk in the sachet, and deceived the cuckoo into not understanding the stakes, so she had a miscarriage without anyone noticing. It was a clever trick.
Cheng Mubai said, "Maybe Dujuan didn't know it and used musk."
"I really don't know who put the musk in. Maybe it was the cuckoo, but what if it wasn't the cuckoo?" Yun Buhui asked, "If it wasn't the cuckoo, who was it? Who didn't want this child to be born, and who knows
The scent of musk is very powerful, so I put it in a cuckoo sachet."
Cheng Mubai said, "The person is dead, so there is no point in pursuing him."
"Yes, the person is dead, and there is really no point in pursuing it. However, if we know who it is, we will have a precaution in the future. If one day I have a miscarriage because of this, I must take precautions before it happens. Use this method once, and it will work.
The second time, if I really used musk without knowing it and harmed our child, it would be too late to regret it by then." Yun Buhui said that although Du Juan is dead, the person who harmed others will go unpunished, so that
People are afraid.
Cheng Mubai held her hand and said, "No."
"I said just in case." Yun Buhui said with a faint smile, "Don't worry, I have my own sense of responsibility in this matter and will not act recklessly. Don't worry, even if you know who it is, now that the person is dead, there is no evidence.
It doesn’t matter who it is, it’s just that you know who it is and you have an idea of who it is.”
Cheng Mubai looked at her deeply. He thought that Yun Buhui had a dull temper and didn't care about such things. He didn't expect that she would get to the bottom of someone else's death. It was unexpected.
"No regrets, you have to be careful about the importance of the matter. This sachet belongs to Du Juan. Now it is in your hands. If someone knows about it, you may be framed for harming Du Juan's child. Did you know? The woman in Xiyuan is pregnant.
When it comes to motives, we from Dongyuan are the most suspect. If you let others know that the sachet is in your hand, wouldn’t it be giving others an opportunity to take advantage of it and harm yourself?" Cheng Mubai said seriously.
Yun Buhui smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I will definitely pay attention and won't let anyone get caught."
Cheng Mubai pursed his lips, smiled, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Yun Buhui thought to himself whether he knew something and why the underlying meaning was to protect the evildoers. This was a very strange feeling.
"No regrets, don't worry too much, I just hope you won't get hurt, that's all." Cheng Mubai said in a deep voice.
Yun Buhui smiled, maybe she was overthinking herself.
He was a little tired, and Yun Buhui was playing with the sachet. She must have seen this sachet needlework somewhere, but she didn't remember it. She called Bingyue, "Put this sachet away, don't lose it."
Bingyue looked at the sachet and said, "The handiwork of this cuckoo sounds exquisite."
"It's not as delicate as yours. Keep it. If someone sees it, you will get into trouble. You should keep it carefully." Yun Buhui said in a deep voice. Bingyue said, "Miss, you already know the mystery, why not burn it?"
Throw it away, keeping it is also a hidden danger, and it would be very serious if others find out."
"It can't be burned." Yun Buhui said. She looked at the sachet thoughtfully. "The sachet is missing. The person who made it will definitely look for it. We will just wait. Even if he doesn't find it, this needlework
It is also easy to identify. If it is burned, the evidence will be destroyed."
Bingyue thought, what Yun Buhui said makes sense, so let's just keep it as it is. Bingyue said, "Miss, are you suspicious?"
"No!" Yun Buhui said, "I will not doubt anyone before I have solid evidence. Once I doubt anyone and identify him in my heart, I will always feel that he is the murderer. This is a blind spot, and the evidence is not
It's a lie, I'm not in a hurry, it will surface one day."
