The second aunt sent Su Yueming out with a heavy heart, her palms still trembling.
When passing by a flowerbed with red flowers, Su Yueming paused and looked over, something strange flashed in his eyes.
"Does Third Miss also like geraniums?" Second Aunt asked, seeing Su Yueming staring at the fiery red flowers in front of her.
Su Yueming raised her hand, pulled a red flower to the tip of her nose, smelled it slightly, and said -
"The floral fragrance of this geranium seems a little different from the geranium fragrance I have smelled before."
"This was given to me by the eldest lady. Once I saw geranium flowers in the eldest lady's yard and I liked them very much. These flower seedlings came from her yard. The fragrance is stronger than ordinary geraniums.
I heard that it was specially cultivated by the eldest lady."
The second aunt said, taking a deep breath, the unique fragrance slowly penetrated into her body, and a very satisfied look appeared on her face.
"Oh..." Su Yueming nodded and said calmly, "The flowers are blooming well. How long have these geraniums been planted here?"
The second aunt was attentive, thinking back, and said, "These flower seedlings have been planted since the second lady was born. It should have been fifteen years. What, does the third lady like it? If so, I will ask the maid to pull out a few flower seedlings.
Plant it in the third lady’s yard.”
"No wonder..." Su Yueming suddenly realized and said softly.
"No wonder? No wonder for what?" Er Yi Niang asked, puzzled.
"Oh, it's nothing." Su Yueming seemed to suddenly turn around and said with a smile, "I don't like geraniums. There are a few in my yard, and I think they are in the way. Since Second Auntie likes them, I will ask Lu Rong to give them to her later.
Come and plant them to add a little more vitality." Su Yueming clapped her hands, patted off the petals stuck to her palms, and said.
"Then I'll thank Third Miss first." After the second aunt thanked her, Su Yueming and others left the Dying Fragrance Garden and went to the Jade Tea Garden.
"Third Miss, do you think this rope with a thin layer of rust on it came from?" Liu Piao'er had been thinking about what had just happened, so she asked.
"Does that need to be said? The eldest lady must have secretly put it there. I think there must be spies sent by the eldest lady to help in Ranxiang Garden." Bi'er rushed to answer.
Su Yueming, however, remained silent, staring straight ahead, as if thinking about something, with a solemn expression on his face.
"Miss Third, you must have seen something." Lu Rong really couldn't wait to know.
Su Yueming stopped, turned around, looked at the three maids, and said, "Bi'er is only half right. This rope is indeed closely related to the eldest lady. As for the eldest lady sending the rope to the dyeing fragrance garden to hang him,
The person who killed Su Qingmo...that person was the second aunt."
"What?!" The three of them were shocked at the same time, "Second aunt? She...she wants to hang the second young lady. Why is that?"
"Yes, is it because the second young lady was ruined and the second aunt was afraid of being implicated, so she wanted to kill the second young lady?" Lu Rong boldly speculated, she couldn't believe that the second aunt could be so vicious.
Su Yueming shook his head, "This hanging was clearly prepared for me."
"Prepared for the third lady? I don't understand even more." Bi'er's head is now filled with questions.
"The eldest lady must have told the second aunt that my second sister was harmed by me, and the second aunt held a grudge against me because of this. That's why she looked at me with such hateful eyes when we entered the dyeing fragrance garden just now.
So, the eldest lady encouraged her. If I came to visit the second sister, I would use a rope to pretend to let the second sister hang herself, and then shout loudly that the second sister had hanged herself. She would exaggerate that it was because I went to visit the second sister that she hanged herself.
She thought that I was forcing her, so I would definitely be punished by the old lady and my father. This is what the second aunt wanted me to suffer.
However, the second aunt herself did not expect that the eldest lady really wanted Su Qingmo to die, so she secretly put a lot of thin rust in the rope in an attempt to cut Su Qingmo's blood vessels, but I didn't expect that I saw through it."
