Chapter 40 Dead

"Any news? Then tell me quickly, where did the maid go?"

Xu Muhua sat down upright, like a primary school student listening to the class seriously.

The eldest master said faintly: "Dead!"

"What?"

Xu Muhua was stunned and blinked, "You said that the maid died, the kind of death that can't be lifeless?"

"Dead, what kind of death is that? She was chased out that day, and died that night. She was not found until the next morning, and her body was stiff!"

Xu Muhua's face was a little solemn, "Isn't this a bit too coincidental? I don't think things are simple. Doesn't anyone know how she died?"

Could it be that she was chased out and couldn't figure it out for a while?

"A mouse that was stealing food at night said that it saw her get up at night and sit by the bed for a while, then it found a rope and hung itself on the beam!"

"Then she couldn't stand the blow of being driven out, so she committed suicide?"

"But another butterfly said that although she looked very sad when she returned home, she kept saying that she didn't mean it, so why did she drive herself out. But in the evening, she was in the mood to water the flowers in the yard. At that time, she was angrily saying that the Chengguo Mansion was not okay, so she would go to sign a contract with others.

It's not like the Chengguo Mansion is the only one that needs servants." It doesn't look like she is going to commit suicide!

"Did the mouse see anyone else in her room?"

Xu Muhua asked.

"No, it is said that after she went back to her room, no one else went in."

Xu Muhua frowned and pondered, somehow he thought of his own affairs. Could it be that some ghost or something controlled the maid and made her hang herself? This does not seem impossible.

As for the mouse, if there really is a ghost or something like that, it probably can't see it, right?

But no matter what, the maid was just driven out by Xu Jinyu, and she hanged herself that night. This is definitely not just a coincidence.

What secrets are there in Xu Jinyu's room?

"Master, can't you go into her room and see what secrets are there?"

The master was also very angry when he talked about this!

"Do you think I don't want to? But I said, there is something strange in her room, I can't go in!"

Because it is too fat and attracts too much attention! It wanted to go in, but it was almost exposed.

If it is exposed, it will be even more difficult to find out the situation in the future. It is better to think of another way. They have to think further ahead.

Xu Muhua did not suspect that it was the problem caused by the master's size, but just thought it was really difficult to get in.

She held her chin and thought: "It seems I have to think of a way."

Her eyes inadvertently swept and saw the reward book given by Concubine Zhang Guifei that Shi Liu had sorted out. She had an idea in a flash.

After having breakfast in her own courtyard, Xu Muhua asked Shi Liu to pick out a piece of jewelry, and then came to the main courtyard, and took Xu's mother to Xu Jinyu's courtyard, Qinghe Garden, unexpectedly.

The maids in Qinghe Garden were surprised to see the mistress and the eldest daughter coming early in the morning, and they were stunned, and they didn't react to report.

Xu Muhua said quickly: "No need to report, my mother and I can go in by ourselves, we are all family, and we are all women."

Xu's mother also nodded, "No need to report specifically, go and do your own thing!"

The maid was a little slow to remember that the second lady had said that no matter who came, she had to report first... Her face changed all of a sudden, and she hurriedly chased after her, and shouted in panic: "Second Miss, the Madam and the eldest daughter are here to see you!"

Xu Muhua turned around and glanced at the maid, and she shuddered.

Xu's mother didn't think much about it, just thinking that the maid was too stubborn.

Xu Jinyu, who heard the announcement in the room, frowned, but soon relaxed, and winked at a maid beside her, and the maid quickly retreated.

"Mom, big sister, why did you come here so early in the morning?"

Xu Jinyu looked very happy and surprised.

Xu's mother walked straight to the table and sat down, smiling and said, "It's your big sister who said she wanted to give you a surprise. Take a look!"

She pushed the gift prepared by Xu Muhua in front of Xu Jinyu.

Xu Jinyu didn't understand, and looked at Xu Muhua in confusion. She urged: "Jinyu, take a look and see if you like it!"

Xu Jinyu looked at the sandalwood box on the table, stretched out his hand to open it, revealing the things inside.

It was a hair accessory, very exquisite!

A butterfly and a flower are pinched out with golden thread, and the butterfly body is decorated with kingfisher feathers, and the two eyes are two round and small gems. The blooming flowers are made of fine silk satin, lifelike, and the dewdrops on the silk flowers are particularly realistic.

What is more exquisite is that the flowers and butterflies on this hair accessory are not big, small and cute, but the texture is clear, and every detail is extremely detailed, which further highlights the craftsman's superb craftsmanship.

Xu Jinyu is still young and is not suitable for wearing hair accessories such as hairpins, but this hair accessory is just right. When pinned on the head, it is neither too ostentatious nor too cute.

Without waiting for Xu Jinyu to speak, Xu Muhua took the hair accessory and put it on Xu Jinyu's head. After looking at it from left to right for a while, she nodded with satisfaction, turned her head to look at Xu's mother and asked: "Mom, do you think it looks good? I said this hair accessory would definitely suit Jinyu!"

Xu's mother also looked at it carefully and nodded in agreement: "It really looks good, you have a good eye!"

"Of course, this is a hair accessory that I have been looking for for a long time to find for Jinyu!"

Well, it's not to mention that Concubine Zhang Gui gave a lot of jewelry and hair accessories, but not many suitable for her age. This is really one of the most delicate and small hair accessories given to Xu Jinyu.

Of course, Xu Jinyu also knew how beautiful this hair accessory was, but when she wore it on her head, it seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

"Mother, elder sister, why did you give me this?"

Xu Muhua said, "Didn't Concubine Zhang give me a lot of gifts? I have already sent some to mother and grandmother, and the only ones left are you and An Nan. You two are still young, so it's hard to choose gifts. I spent a lot of time picking out this hair accessory!"

"If it weren't for you being my sister, I wouldn't be willing to give it to you!"

Xu Jinyu pretended to take it down, "Since elder sister is reluctant to give it to you, then take it back! I'm still young, and it's okay if I don't need it."

"How can that be! How can you take back something you gave away? We are sisters, what does this matter?"

Xu's mother couldn't help but smile with relief when she saw the two sisters loving each other.

After sitting for a while, Xu Muhua suddenly said, "Oh, I drank too much water this morning. I want to go to the bathroom. Jinyu, I wonder if I can..."

Without waiting for Xu Jinyu to answer, Xu's mother said, "In that case, you can go to the bathroom with your sister. It doesn't matter if you can or can't! Go!"
