Chapter 8 Accidental Death May Not Be an Accident
It was not because she was reborn to meet her old friends, but because Huasheng had died a year ago in her previous life, before her.
"Madam? You are looking at me like that. Did I say something wrong?" Peanut said as he was about to stand up and kowtow to apologize.
Liu Mingyue pulled her back and asked her to sit down. "I'm worried that you might be too aggressive. The Marquis's Mansion is not the same as the Zhou Mansion. You will hear more similar things from now on. Don't argue for me, and don't take it to heart. Do you two understand?"
Peanut and Osmanthus looked at each other, and both felt that something was different about their master, but they couldn't put their finger on it.
However, the two of them still nodded obediently, thinking in their hearts that in the future, it would be extremely difficult for their master to stay in the Marquis' Mansion.
The dowry sent by the Zhou family was not much, but it still needed to be counted and stored. It could not be piled up in the yard.
Huasheng and her friends were worried about the servants in the yard, so they went to take care of it themselves. Liu Mingyue sat by the window and watched them busying around, lost in thought. Huasheng's death a year ago was actually very strange.
However, she was already walking on thin ice in the Marquis's Mansion at that time, and she couldn't even protect herself, let alone others? So even though she felt something was wrong at the time, she had no energy to investigate and correct it.
"Carry this box to the storeroom. It contains cloth. It must not get wet and must be placed carefully." Guihua instructed the maids in the yard, while Huasheng stood by, looking at the dowry list.
Liu Mingyue supported her forehead and remembered the details of the incident. Peanut died accidentally on the day Zhou Baili came to visit their home.
It was an accident, but why did it happen when Zhou Baili was visiting the mansion? The timing was too coincidental.
From what Zhou Baili said, we can know that she had a dispute with Tan Zhuoyan a long time ago. When she was a guest at the mansion, maybe...
Liu Mingyue was shocked by her own thoughts and stood up unconsciously. Huasheng's "accidental" death was probably because he saw something. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Huasheng was killed to silence him.
In the yard outside the window, Huasheng and Guihua looked angry and seemed unhappy with the servants in the yard.
"How dare you! You are servants serving your master, and you are unwillingly shirking your responsibility just to move a few things!"
Guihua is the personal maid who followed Liu Mingyue from the Liu family to the Zhou family. Her aura is stronger than Huasheng's.
When she scolded the other servants, she still behaved like a maid in charge. However, when the servants in the courtyard saw that the Zhou family only sent this much dowry, they suppressed the fear they had for Liu Mingyue.
She is just the Crown Prince's wife, who is not liked by her mother's family or her husband's family. What is there to be afraid of?
"We are indeed at the command of our master, but it also depends on who sends us." The leading nanny raised her chin and said disdainfully.
There was an argument going on in the yard, but the wind was very cool today. A piece of flying petals danced in the wind and fell on the window coffin.
Liu Mingyue's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her guess gradually came to fruition. Huasheng's death could not have been an accident.
If he had not known about Zhou Baili's affairs, he must have accidentally witnessed the shameful scandal in the Marquis' Mansion, which brought him to his death.
"Our proper masters are the Marquis, his wife, and the Crown Prince. We really don't know where this other master came from!"
The words of a clever-looking maid were really harsh. Rather than arguing with Guihua and the others, it seemed more like she was saying it on purpose for Liu Mingyue to hear.
"How dare you!" Guihua's face darkened and she was about to teach this ignorant maid a lesson.
