Yun Jingchu's eyes flashed slightly, as his elder brother told him before, Yuemei did not lie.
Also, she had kept the news of her mother's disappearance and rediscovery secret, and her eldest and third brothers did not tell Yuemei and Xiaotao the reason when they inquired. If the murderer was not the two of them, there was no need for them to lie.
After lowering his eyes and thinking for a moment, Yun Jingchu asked again: "...Did you eat or drink anything, or smell anything unusual before you felt sleepy?"
Yuemei's brows slowly furrowed again, and it could be seen that she was reminiscing seriously.
"After the wedding banquet started, the kitchen was very busy, and the slave didn't dare to eat. As for the special smell, he didn't seem to smell it. The kitchen was filled with the aroma of food, and the slave didn't notice any special smell. Later, after half a busy day, the slave didn't notice any special smell.
After an hour, the slave was a little thirsty, so Yueji handed the slave a ladle of cold water, and the slave drank it. After that, he never ate or drank anything." Although Yuemei looked hazy, as if she was sleepwalking, she still
, but his words are clear and coherent.
"Are you sure it was she who handed you the water?" Yun Jingchu's eyes sharpened and his voice couldn't help but rise a little.
"Sure." Yuemei replied, "Yesterday, several other sisters who were serving dishes and I worked without touching the ground for half an hour, and we were all a little thirsty. At that time, we were waiting at the door of the kitchen for the next batch of dishes to be ready.
Several little girls who were helping in the kitchen took the initiative to scoop out water for us to drink. The slave's sister was helping in the kitchen at that time. She scooped up the water and handed it to the slave first."
"Yueji is the girl in my yard." Yun Jingyan squatted beside her, her face was ashen and her voice was heavy.
Yun Jingchu nodded, patted Yun Jingyan's hand on his knee comfortingly, then turned around and continued to ask: "Do you still remember who was the girl who gave you water together? Back then, who was close to the rose?
Who is it?"
Yuemei frowned and thought. While thinking, she reported the names of five people. In addition to Rose, there were also several girls from Liuyuan, Zhuyuan and Jingxiuyuan. These girls should all be fine.
"...The one who was closest to the rose at that time was Lan'er from Jingxiu Garden." Yuemei said slowly.
This is not surprising. Her mother and her two brothers have a mother-daughter relationship. Naturally, the servants in the three gardens are usually close to each other. When the stewards of the mansion assign tasks, they will allocate the girls from the three gardens together.
Within reason.
Yun Jingxi and Yun Jingyan both frowned, feeling that the more they understood, the more confused they became.
"Brother, come to Yueji quietly and don't disturb other people." Yun Jingchu said to Yun Jing.
"..." Yun Jingyan nodded with a heavy expression, stood up and walked out.
Yun Jingchu knew what Yun Jingyan was thinking. He must be thinking that if the girl around him did something to hurt their mother, he would definitely die of guilt.
However, Yun Jingchu could not give his eldest brother any clear comfort before the matter came to a conclusion.
"Tell me in detail who has spoken to you, been close to you, and what you have done before Wei Shi." Yun Jingchu looked at Yuemei and asked.
While waiting for Rose to arrive, she wanted to see if she could find any other clues.
Yuemei spoke very quickly and fluently, because before Wei Shi, they were so busy that they only did a single job and only saw the same few people, and they didn't have time to chat at all, so naturally they didn't
