Chapter 83 Someone Drowned

When Xu Muhua woke up that day, she heard a noise outside the yard. She called Shi Liu, but it was Wu Er who came in.

"Miss, did you hear the noise outside? Shi Liu went out to see. I will help you get up first!"

Xu Muhua nodded. When Wu Er was combing her hair, Shi Liu ran out. The noise came before she entered the house.

"Miss, Miss, I heard something. Something happened! A servant died in the pond in our house!"

Even Wu Er stopped what he was doing and was very surprised. "A servant died in the house? How did he die?"

Xu Muhua also looked at Shi Liu.

Shi Liu frowned, "I don't know yet. It looks like he drowned, but there isn't much water in the pond at this season. How could he drown?"

She also heard from the servants around her that they didn't hear anyone calling for help last night. If he accidentally fell into the pond and couldn't swim, he would definitely shout for help, but everyone said they didn't hear anything last night. Even the servant who slept closest to the pond said he didn't hear any sound.

But if he didn't drown, could he have been killed and thrown into the pond?

Thinking of this, Shi Liu's face changed with fear!

"I'll go and take a look."

Xu Muhua stood up.

Shi Liu came to her senses and tried to dissuade her, "Miss, forget it. That person has been soaking in the pond all night. It's... scary!"

Xu Muhua kept walking, "It's okay. If you are afraid, just stay in the yard. We are in the mansion anyway, so you don't have to follow me."

After saying this, Shi Liu refused to do it again.

She is the young lady's personal maid, how could she not follow the young lady?

Shi Liu hurriedly followed, and Wu'er couldn't help but follow out of curiosity.

Xu's mother was standing by the pond with a frown on her face.

A servant in the mansion actually drowned!

This has never happened before!

Seeing Xu Muhua coming over, she said in a chastised tone, "What are you doing here?"

Xu Muhua came over and held her hand, "Mom, I heard that a servant drowned in the pond. I am the eldest sister in the family. When something happened at home, how could I not come to see? How did the person die?"

Xu's mother shook her head, "It's not clear yet. Someone has been asked to invite a coroner."

Although he was a servant in the mansion, he couldn't just die so casually. He had to find out.

And this was not a servant born in the mansion, but a servant with a living contract.

The coroner was quickly invited over, and he performed an autopsy in front of everyone, and the conclusion came out quickly.

"Madam, this man died of drowning, and it seems that he was drunk. It is possible that he accidentally fell into the pond while drunk, and because his actions were affected by drunkenness, he was unable to save himself and eventually drowned."

The coroner said.

After he finished speaking, he paused again, as if he was hesitant about whether to say the next words.

Xu Muhua noticed it and asked, "Is there anything else special? You can tell me directly."

The coroner glanced at her and whispered, "Just from the last expression on his face, this person seemed to have been extremely frightened before he died..."

It looked like he was scared to death, but he just examined him and it met the characteristics of drowning in water.

Strange, strange!

"Do you mean he was scared to death?"

Xu Muhua asked.

The coroner raised his eyes and glanced at her quickly. It was neither yes nor no.

Xu Muhua thought about it and understood his psychological activities.

While Xu's mother was not paying attention, she whispered, "Please check again carefully to determine the cause of his death."

Miss Xu is a celebrity in the capital recently. Now that she said so, the coroner had no choice but to obey.

Xu's mother did not think much about it. She just thought that the servant really drank too much at night, and then accidentally fell into the water and killed himself.

She ordered the housekeeper to check the man's situation. Since it was a living contract, the person died in the Duke of Cheng's mansion, and the compensation should be paid, even if he was seeking death.

This is really not a good thing. Xu's mother hurried Xu Muhua back and didn't want to be contaminated by bad luck.

Xu Muhua had just left, and Xu Jinyu came over.

Xu's mother said helplessly: "What's wrong with you and Muhua? Other girls would not have time to avoid such things, but you are the best, you are rushing to come."

"Did the elder sister come?"

Xu Jinyu subconsciously searched for Xu Muhua.

"Don't look, she just went back! You should go back too, don't stay here."

Xu Jinyu didn't want to come over, but it would be strange if she didn't come over after making such a big commotion.

She asked the coroner if he had found anything. Xu's mother told her the truth. Xu Jinyu nodded and went back obediently. As

soon as Xu Muhua returned to the yard, the eldest master came out and said, "Didn't the servant fall into the water last night?"

"Did you see it?"

Xu Muhua was a little surprised.

She was just about to call those nocturnal animals to ask them if they saw anything last night.

"I guess so! That man did drink last night, but not much. I saw him walking steadily, not like he was drunk. Then he stopped when he passed the pond, as if he wanted to wash his hands." "I saw him

squatting on the steps, and while washing, he suddenly fell into the water, as if someone pushed him from behind."

Xu Muhua frowned when she heard this.

She believed that the master was not lying, which meant that the servant's death was not normal.

For some reason, she thought of Xu Jinyu.

But why would Xu Jinyu kill a servant for no reason?

If it was a maid who accidentally discovered her secret, it would make sense like the maid who was driven out, but she wanted to silence her. But this was a male servant, so it was impossible for him to enter her yard and discover her secret. So what reason did she have to kill him?

"Grandpa, don't go to Qinghe Garden recently. It's not safe there."

Xu Muhua warned.

"Something wrong?"

Xu Muhua whispered, "Xu Jinyu has a problem. She brought that female ghost here. She wants to kill me. She was the one who caused me to fall from the attic before. But now I have no evidence. She is my parents' biological child."

Unless she can produce substantial evidence, she will not be able to expose her true identity and will cause trouble.

Well, if Xu Jinyu is really hiding so deeply, then she might start to suspect something.

Now it's a competition of who is more patient. Whoever can't bear it first may be exposed first.

She should have cleaned up the room in Xu Jinyu's yard. There is no way there is any evidence left.
