Chapter 296 Peach Blossom Evil
"Your Highness, you can just sit here at the gate of the yard. Here is a small blanket. Don't let the little princess catch a cold. I just went to buy a ewe. It's giving milk. Ask the maid to collect the milk and boil it."
The servants of the Qian Mansion were in a hurry. Madam Qian came quickly from the other side, lowered her sleeves, and came to Xiaoyue to salute: "I am Bing'er, a commoner. I greet Her Highness the Princess, greet the little princess, and meet the Imperial Master!"
All the servants of the Qian Mansion knelt down and kowtowed.
Xiaoyue sat down and gently wrapped Xier with the blanket.
It was still a little chilly in the early summer.
"It's great that the Qian family is so enthusiastic. I feel very comfortable in my heart!" Xiao Yue smiled and said, "Mrs. Qian is also a straightforward person!"
"Hey, didn't my husband come back this morning and say that he was reused by the princess and will be responsible for the safety of the entire city, so he will be very busy. I will take care of the things at home and outside!" Mrs. Qian Bai Bing said.
"You go and take a look!" Xiao Yue said to Hongmei.
Ci Xin also turned around and took two men with Hongmei, and led by the servants of the Qian family to Miss Qian's bedroom to look for clues.
"Madam, can you tell me about Miss Qian?" Xiao Yue looked around and said.
White silk was being hung in the yard. Once Miss Qian's body was brought back from the county government, it would be buried in a coffin.
"Qing'er... is a little willful, and she only thinks about the Imperial Master. When the Imperial Master was here, it was hard for me to say anything. When the Imperial Master passed by, he stayed in the city for a few days, which made the women in the city no longer want to get married. They just wanted to wait for the Imperial Master." Mrs. Qian shook her head and sighed.
Xiaoyue's eyelids drooped, and she said lightly: "The Imperial Master never made a promise, why are they so persistent?"
"It's just because the Imperial Master is beautiful. We have also thought about it. No matter what, we must find a marriage for her. We said it in the early years and have always advised her. Who knew that she would always do something weird, either driving people away or seeking death. After a few times, we didn't dare to mention it to her." Mrs. Qian said.
"Does she usually socialize with people?" Xiao Yue recalled the scene of seeing Miss Qian on the street the day before yesterday. She was indeed a very impulsive and bad-tempered woman.
"She was good friends with Wan Wenxiu from the Wan family before, but she was not good friends with the Zhao family. There was also the third lady of the Huang family in the east of the city. She was only good friends with those few, and she didn't have much contact with the rest!" Mrs. Qian said.
"The third lady of the Huang family!" Xiao Yue's eyebrows moved slightly, and she said, "This time, Wan Wenxiu was in trouble, and Miss Qian and the young lady of the Zhao family died. Someone, go check Miss Huang and see what she is doing."
Xiao Yue was expecting her daughter to give some suggestions, but she didn't know that her little darling had become a foodie, and she was drooling while staring at the goat milk boiled on the spot, which made her a little embarrassed.
"Xi'er, why are you so greedy?" Xiao Yue whispered, wiping the saliva of little Xi'er with a handkerchief.
"This sheep is poisonous!" Baby Ruoxi looked at her mother, her big eyes blinking, hoping that her mother could understand.
Xiao Yue understood, but when she thought of what the little girl said a few days ago, if she could understand, the little girl would not say so much, and she did not dare to confess to the little girl easily.
"Madam Qian, take me to the backyard to have a look!" Xiao Yue stood up and walked to the backyard with little Xi'er in her arms.
"Princess, the place in the backyard..." Madam Qian hurried forward and stopped.
"Huh?" Xiao Yue frowned slightly.
"In the backyard, our Bing'er hanged herself on that tree, so a lot of yellow ribbons were tied to the tree to ward off evil spirits." Mrs. Qian said.
"To ward off evil spirits?" Xiao Yue turned to look at Mrs. Qian and smiled faintly: "You are not afraid even if you live at home, I am just going to take a look, why should I be afraid?"
"Alright, that's fine, I will accompany you now!" Mrs. Qian said quickly.
Xiao Yue carried baby Ruoxi to the backyard.
"Master, did you find anything?" Xiao Yue asked.
"It is said that after they found the young lady's body, they dared not move anything in the room. I have checked it just now. Apart from finding a few letters, there is nothing else found." Ci Xin said, looking at the little girl, "Xi'er, it looks like you are hungry, right? Your saliva is flowing out. Is the goat's milk ready?"
"To reply to the Imperial Master, the goat's milk is already boiling and will be ready soon." Madam Qian said immediately.
"Oh!" Ci Xin nodded.
"The goat was fed with poisonous millet flowers. After producing milk, the poisonous millet flowers entered the goat's milk. They gave it to me to drink. They want to poison me to death!" Baby Ruoxi looked at Ci'en and thought to herself.
Ci Xin's brows slightly wrinkled, and the corners of her mouth slowly raised a smile, but her eyes were cold.
"Don't be impulsive, little Xin, this sheep was bought from outside by the housekeeper of the Qian Mansion, not raised by them themselves. This means that they knew we would come, and they also knew that Qian Yong had this idea, so they would buy sheep to make goat milk?"
Baby Ruoxi looked at Ci Xin, and after talking to him, she waited for his analysis.
"Yuer, go inside and take a look. Xier, give it to me!" Ci Xin held little Xier in his arms, and he let Xiaoyue go into the room first.
Hongmei accompanied the princess to check again.
"It seems that there is nothing else in those letters except love poems." Hongmei said.
"Did the national teacher take away the rice paper?" Xiaoyue came to Miss Qian's desk, looked at the situation on the table, and asked.
"Yes!" Hongmei nodded and said, "A blank piece of rice paper was taken away by the Imperial Master. However, I saw a black ink mark on it. Perhaps the Imperial Master found some clues!"
"Yes!" Xiaoyue nodded, and she went to check the window again.
Outside, Ci'en was holding little Xi'er and watching the peach tree that could be used to hang people.
"The peach blossoms in the yard, this Miss Qian's peach blossom evil is really not light!" said baby Ruoxi.
"Peach blossom evil!" Ci Xin raised her eyebrows while holding the child, turned to look at Madam Qian, and said, "Who planted this peach tree?"
"It was our Bing'er herself, she, she planted the peach tree!" Madam Qian seemed to remember something, and her eyes dodged.
"There should be something under this peach tree!" Baby Ruoxi looked at it and nodded her little head.
"Dig it up!" said Ci Xin.
"Master, Master, this is unacceptable! How can we dig it up, Master!" Madam Qian hurriedly stood in front of the peach tree.
"Hmm?" Ci Xin frowned, and her expression turned a little colder.
"Master, I beg you, this is the last thing Bing'er left behind. This is the tree she planted. This, this cannot be dug up!" Madam Qian knelt in front of Ci Xin, still crying.
