Xu Ruoshui paddled in the water, waiting for Yan'er to talk to her, but Yan'er made no sound, so she turned around and saw Meng Tianbo already in front of her.
"You...what did you come in for?" Xu Ruoshui covered her body with a hand-sized handkerchief, but the handkerchief was too small, and her breasts were vaguely visible in the water.
Meng Tianbo took a look and tried to focus on the sallow face, "Tianqi took a bracelet?"
"How do you know?" Xu Ruoshui was surprised. When he first asked Yan'er, he didn't say who it was.
"I saw it, but Tianqi thought that no one would know if he took it away without anyone noticing. In the afternoon, dad asked Wu Zuo to do an autopsy. Do you want to go and have a look?"
Xu Ruoshui thought for a moment and nodded.
"Aren't you afraid?" he said in shock, staring at her with his burning eyes.
Afraid? Xu Ruoshui has never thought about being afraid since she wanted to take revenge. There is nothing more profound than the pain in her previous life. She bit her lip and said provocatively, "If I were afraid, I wouldn't stay here."
"Very good, then hurry up, I'll wait for you outside." Meng Tianbo left with a few words, feeling a burning sensation in his heart, as if he stayed any longer, he might miss something.
After Xu Ruoshui was clean, she put on a smoky red dress with a pink plum blossom embroidered on the sleeves. There were silver threads on the skirt to outline auspicious clouds. A plum branch stretched out at the hem of the skirt, and her steps were like plum blossoms in the clouds.
A piece of apricot-colored brocade wraps her chest in front, and a colorful butterfly really spreads its wings and flies away, making her figure a little more graceful.
The couple went straight to Wangmei Garden. There were a few more guarded courtyards than last night. Meng Tianbo wanted to go in, and naturally no one stopped him. However, before they saw the skeleton, they heard Mrs. Meng coming over, and there were even people around her.
There was no maid with him, and Meng Tianqi was supporting him slightly as his body trembled slightly.
"Late Qiu, what are you doing here?" Mrs. Meng asked puzzledly.
Xu Ruoshui said without thinking, "The eldest young master just dragged his daughter-in-law here, saying that he wanted to watch the fun. My daughter-in-law couldn't resist him, so she just brought her here. Mom, you are not in good health, why don't you rest more?" It was Xu Ruoshui's turn to be concerned.
She did.
Mrs. Meng's eyes were wandering, and she responded casually, "I feel even more tired after lying down for a long time. Come out and get some air. There is nothing interesting here. You should go back quickly."
While the four of them were talking, the workman invited by Mr. Meng was also coming over with tools, and was led over by Manager Wang. Mrs. Meng followed, her steps were a little awkward, but she still grabbed Manager Wang's hand, "Old Wang.
, who asked you to bring this person here?"
Manager Wang bowed his head respectfully and replied, "Madam, he is a widower and it is the master's order."
"What are you telling Wu Zuo to do? Let him go. Let him go quickly," Mrs. Meng yelled.
When I hear it, I can’t go out or go in.
Fortunately, at this time, Mr. Meng poked his head out of the pavilion and said, "What do you know about women? They won't let you in." There is no doubt that he wants to investigate thoroughly.
Wu Zuo then wiped his sweat and went to the pavilion. "Qi'er, go and have a look." Mrs. Meng lifted her skirt and walked towards the pavilion. The stone table had been removed, and there were a pile of bones piled on the straw mat on the ground.
Xu Ruoshui's heart kept trembling. Even though she had died once, she still had stage fright when she saw this. Meng Tianbo's hand gently held her waist, stabilizing her like a dose of tranquillizer.
Wu Zuo put the corner of his shirt into his belt, then took out a ruler from the wooden tool box, then squatted down and picked up the bones for comparison and measurement without fear. Time seemed to have frozen, and everyone was stunned.
He held his breath and waited for him to speak.
"Mr. Meng, based on my many years of experience, this skeleton should be that of a woman. Judging from the appearance of the bones, the body probably started to rot in the first half of last year, and she is about fifteen or sixteen years old. The most important thing is
The thing is..." Wu Zuo stopped, pointed to a pair of small bones and said, "And the woman is already pregnant with Liujia, and she is also a baby boy."
"A woman who is pregnant with Liujia?" Master Meng asked doubtfully.
"Yes, this little one can't be mistaken." Wu Zuo confirmed.
Mrs. Meng's legs suddenly went weak and she collapsed on the ground. Mr. Meng frowned and said, "Madam, I told you to rest. Why are you here?"
Mrs. Meng gave a stiff smile and said, "Isn't I also worried?"
Mr. Meng asked Mr. Wang to give him a large amount of hush money. He earned so much money that he could find other ways to make a living if he didn't do it. I would be very grateful to Mr. Meng for receiving the money.
After the others left, Mr. Meng said with a straight face, "Madam, please give me the list of those maids. I will check them carefully. If they are maids in the house, I will send someone to send some money as compensation."
"Check it?" Mrs. Meng hesitated, "There are so many maids in the house, it's really difficult. Master, why don't you leave the matter to me?"
Mr. Meng waved his hands and sighed, "I can still have my leisure time if I lose someone's life. If this matter is not investigated clearly, who will still work in our Meng Mansion if the people know about it, and the life of the people is also their life."
Xu Ruoshui realized that Mr. Meng was kind-hearted and felt friendly for the first time.
"Then I will send the name list to the master later," Mrs. Meng agreed temporarily. She no longer dared to look at the pile of bones on the ground. Instead, Meng Tianqi's expression was rather strange.
The autopsy lasted only a quarter of an hour, and Xu Ruoshui couldn't figure out the reason. However, the power that attracted her before had completely disappeared. Could it be that ghosts were at work.
There was nothing left to stay in Wangmeiyuan. The five of them left the pavilion and were about to go out. Unexpectedly, they met Wang Mengjiao walking over angrily with something in her hand. When she saw Meng Tianqi, she threw the thing towards him, "Meng Tianqi, give it to me."
Tell me clearly who this woman is."
The thing fell to the ground. Everyone took a closer look and saw that it was a scroll.
The scroll fell to the ground and stretched out on the ground. On it, a beautiful and refined woman was leaning on a plum blossom, with her bright wrist on the gauze, holding a round fan in one hand, and covering her abdomen with the other hand. Her red phoenix eyes were half-squinted, with a smile
The clear spring water is flowing, and a plum blossom in the middle of the temples is worth a thousand gold, which is enough to make all the headdresses eclipse. Another eye-catching thing is the multicolored gemstone silver bracelet on the slender wrist.
I don’t know whose painter is so superb and can depict a woman so beautifully and touchingly. I think the real person must be more like a fairy.
Not only Wang Mengjiao did not know this woman, Xu Ruoshui had never met her, but others knew who she was. When Meng Tianqi saw the painting falling to the ground, his anger erupted, and he slapped Wang Mengjiao with his hand and cursed.
