This is a utility room, and Ah Jin is lying quietly on the door panel.
"Your Majesty, Madam, you can't come in. People who have just died are unclean..." The servants were frightened and wanted to stop them.
Chang Yuncheng glared, and the servants dispersed.
Qi Yue only went over and took a look, then stopped moving.
"How is it?" Chang Yuncheng asked.
Qi Yue shook her head.
"There is no need for resuscitation." She said, squatting on the ground and looking at Ah Jin.
The messy hair hung down to cover the girl's face, which had lost all life and life.
"...I didn't get a breath... In fact, I didn't even hit him a few times..." The servant girl on the side knelt on the ground and spoke to Chang Yuncheng in a trembling voice, "If you don't believe me, I'll check my injuries. It's true that I didn't hit him a few times and I didn't exert any strength."
I beat her, just to scare her into questioning... I don’t know why she died..."
There were chaotic footsteps outside, accompanied by Aunt Zhou's crying.
"Ah Jin, Ah Jin." She rushed in, holding the door and shouted. When she saw Ah Jin on the door panel, she couldn't stop her tears.
Pushing away the servants who wanted to help and block her, Aunt Zhou staggered towards her.
"Ah Jin, Ah Jin, don't scare me." She shouted, her voice was hoarse, and she trembled as she picked up Ah Jin's head and patted her face, "Don't scare me, I only have you, the old lady is gone.
After that, you were the only one who stayed with me for so many years. You said you would stay with me forever, how dare you disobey me? How dare you, little girl, disobey me!"
She shouted and raised her hand to hit Ah Jin hard in the face.
The servants were so frightened that they hugged Aunt Zhou's arms.
"This girl is disobedient! How dare she disobey the old lady!" Aunt Zhou was almost crazy, shouting and hitting her.
Several servant girls dragged her out.
I could only see that the people around me felt sad and sad, and the Marquis of Dingxi who followed me felt even more uncomfortable.
"What's going on?" He rushed towards Chang Yuncheng with full fury and shouted, "Beat the person to death. You want us to put the face of Dingxihou Mansion there!"
Chang Yuncheng didn't speak, just stood there.
Aunt Zhou suddenly rushed over.
"You beat her to death, now beat me to death too." She grabbed Chang Yuncheng tightly and screamed, "I was the one who harmed Yueniang, I was the one who set fire to the witness, I did it all!
I did it!”
Chang Yuncheng stretched out his hand and swept her away.
"She's crazy, hold her." Xie shouted.
Immediately more servants came forward to catch Aunt Zhou.
"Look at you, look at you!" Dingxihou was full of hatred. He looked around, grabbed a stick on the side, raised his hand and hit Chang Yuncheng.
As soon as Xie saw it, she reached out and stood in front of Chang Yuncheng.
Marquis Dingxi's stick had already hit him, Chang Yuncheng hugged Mr. Xie and turned around.
The muffled sound of the stick was mixed in with the noise in the room.
Marquis Dingxi still couldn't relieve his anger after being struck with a stick, so he raised his hand and struck again.
"If you hit him again, if you hit him again, I will fight with you..." Xie, who was blocked by Chang Yuncheng, screamed and struggled desperately, but could not break away from Chang Yuncheng's blockage.
Everyone on the side was dumbfounded, even Aunt Zhou who was crying stopped.
"Father, father." Chang Yunqi stepped forward and hugged Dingxihou's leg, "Calm down your anger, father, please calm down and tell me what you have to say."
Chang Yunhong hesitated for a moment before kneeling down and holding Dingxihou's arms with both hands.
Marquis Dingxi was also tired from the beating, and he leaned his stick on the ground while panting.
"You checked, you checked, what did you find?" he yelled.
"It turned out that there is indeed something wrong with this girl." Chang Yuncheng said, still standing firmly, as if the sticks just scratched her itch.
Dingxi Hou was so angry that he could not speak.
"I won't live either." Aunt Zhou cried, broke away from the servant woman and hit the wall.
The room suddenly became noisy again.
Aunt Zhou's cries, Dingxihou's scolding, Xie's rebuttal, and the dissuasive voices of Chang Yunqi and others were intertwined. Chang Yuncheng just stood upright, ignoring these voices. He suddenly remembered that he had been
Not hearing anyone's voice, he couldn't help but turn around to look for it.
Qi Yue kept squatting in front of the door in that position, seemingly unaware of the chaos behind her.
"Human life is really fragile." She said suddenly, sensing someone coming behind her.
Chang Yuncheng stood behind her and said nothing.
"She didn't harm me." Qi Yue said again.
Looking at this cold corpse, the girl's smiling face appeared in front of my eyes.
In just a few short meetings, that was the time they talked the most, so sincerely and from the bottom of their hearts.
"It's not her." Qi Yue said again.
As Chang Yuncheng came over here, everyone looked over, and the noise became quieter, just in time to hear Qi Yue's words.
Aunt Zhou covered her face and cried.
"Ah Jin, you can rest in peace. No matter what others think of you, Yueniang understands you." She cried.
This confirmed that Chang Yuncheng was innocent and made Xie tremble all over.
"However." Qi Yue stood up, turned around and faced everyone, with a serious look on his face, "come to the government."
What? These words made everyone stunned. Aunt Zhou also cried less loudly, and a hint of unexpected surprise flashed in her eyes under her fingers.
"You bitch, are you going to sue the government?" Xie shouted through gritted teeth, staring at Qi Yue.
Although domestic slaves are domestic slaves, the law also stipulates that indiscriminate killing is prohibited. Of course, this provision is only written in the law, and no one will actually use it. Even if it is reported to the official, nothing will happen, but
After all, it would be a shame to spread the word.
"Are you, you guys, just waiting for this?" Ms. Xie reached out and pointed at Qi Yue and Aunt Zhou, "You guys have colluded..."
"That's enough, shut up." Dingxihou shouted, he pointed at Mr. Xie and Chang Yuncheng with his hand, "You are the one who colluded..."
"Father." Qi Yue shouted, interrupting Dingxihou's words, "I said reporting to the official because Ajin was not beaten to death with a cane."
Everyone in the room was stunned and looked at her.
"This is not organ failure caused by cane torture." Qi Yue continued, looking back and then turning his head again, "It seems like suffocation, but it's not like it. I can't tell what caused death, and I'm not good either.
I checked carefully to avoid damaging the scene, but I am sure that he was not beaten to death with a cane, so my father asked someone from the government... someone who knows this... to take a look or something, I think they can tell.
.”
There was silence in the room, everyone looked at Qi Yue blankly.
Aunt Zhou's body softened and she fell to the ground, sweat replacing tears.
Why is she so troublesome?
Everything has been planned, and if you can't hide it, you will definitely find her here, so I specially found someone who looks similar to Ah Jin to handle this matter, so the final clues will fall on Ah Jin.
But Ah Jin will never do this. Qi Yueniang will definitely come forward to testify. In this way, if Ah Jin dies, the suspicion will be eliminated, and she will get sympathy. This matter will be like any wealthy family.
Dark things like this happen to everyone, and eventually disappear into time, never to be mentioned again...
She had planned everything, but she made a mistake in the last step.
What woman would look at a dead person? And really see something….
Aunt Zhou lowered her gaze. She did not look at the expression of the maid who exited, whether she was frightened and panicked or something else. Everything was meaningless.
Four or five maids rushed into Aunt Zhou's yard with ferocious looks as it was getting dark.
Before they could say anything, they saw Aunt Zhou already sitting in the main room with a bundle beside her.
"You are here." She said calmly, licking her temples with her well-maintained hands.
"Auntie, you know why we are here," the leading woman said coldly, "Well, it will save us the quarrel."
After she said that, she stretched out her hand.
"The Marquis said that you are a member of the old lady's family and have served her for so many years. Considering the face of the third young master and the second young lady, you should go to the family temple to pray and recite sutras," she said.
Aunt Zhou smiled slightly.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your kindness," she said.
"Auntie, don't you want to see the Marquis?" Another servant girl was a little surprised by Auntie Zhou's reaction and couldn't help but ask.
Aunt Zhou had already stood up and smiled again after hearing her words.
"The Marquis dislikes beautiful women with a vicious heart. Don't you know that?" she said. "He is most afraid of looking away and getting slapped in the face. The Marquis cherishes himself very much."
This was a strange thing to say, and the women were confused when they heard it.
"Okay, Aunt Zhou, let's go. If you have anything to say, go and say it in front of the Buddha." they said.
Night enveloped the entire Dingxihou Mansion.
The lights in Rongan Courtyard were brightly lit. Mrs. Xie was sitting in the room, while Chang Yuncheng and Qi Yue stood aside.
"Madam, send me off." The maid came in and replied.
Mr. Xie let out a sigh of relief, his expression still fierce.
"The people of the Zhou family are indeed snake-hearted..." She squeezed out this sentence through her teeth.
The curtain in the inner room suddenly swung, and Marquis Dingxi came out.
He had a very ugly face and was wearing a homely robe.
"Half of the Zhou family's blood bleeds in my body, am I also a snake-hearted person?" He looked at Mr. Xie and shouted with a serious face.
"You're still protecting that woman!" Mrs. Xie also shouted and stood up holding on to the table.
"Okay, don't talk about this anymore." Dingxihou shouted at her, sat on the kang, took a heavy drink of tea and took a sip.
Chang Yuncheng shook his head at Ms. Xie to comfort her. Ms. Xie slowly sat back and stopped talking.
The room fell into silence for a while, and the women did not dare to leave.
"Did she say anything?" Dingxihou suddenly asked.
The mother-in-law was stunned.
"Tell me, tell me..." she stammered, "Ajin did this because of her. Although she didn't know it, her fault is unforgivable. I only hope that the Marquis will forget her..."
Marquis Dingxi looked startled, and Mrs. Xie sneered at the side.
"The evidence is conclusive, and we are still struggling to death. How can anyone believe this?" she said coldly.
Marquis Dingxi glanced at her and waved to the ladies.
The women retreated.
"Yue Niang, you are frightened. It is because your father did not take good care of you." Ding Xihou looked at Qi Yue and sighed.
"I don't dare to be a daughter-in-law." Qi Yue said, "It's not your father who can decide other people's hearts."
Marquis Dingxi watched her sigh again, with a bit of relief.
"Don't be afraid, this will never happen again." He said solemnly.
Qi Yue lowered her head to thank her and lowered her gaze.
"You stinky boy." Dingxihou looked at Chang Yuncheng again and shouted fiercely.
Chang Yuncheng's expression remained the same. Xie frowned but refrained from speaking.
"If it wasn't Yueniang, let's see what you will do this time!" Hou Dingxi shouted bitterly, "Such a good wife, why are you making such a fuss? Kick that girl out. Who dares to come up to you and give you a beating?"
One, let’s fight a pair!”
After saying this, the three people in the room became a little confused.
Chang Yuncheng's face was slightly stiff, Xie's expression was slightly annoyed, and Qi Yue was a little embarrassed, but it was not over yet, Dingxi Hou said something else.
"...I've already had Yueniang's things sent back. If you dare to hear you kicking Yueniang out again, just get out with me and don't come back." He looked at Chang Yuncheng and said angrily.
Qi Yue looked up at Dingxihou in shock, no way.***(To be continued)
