Chapter 89: No Escape
They must have killed Da Tao.
Although there is no evidence.
But what woman, now a successful woman, would tolerate her former downfall? Da Tao witnessed the entire process of Concubine Liu's embarrassment. How could she tolerate the existence of such a person?
Everyone wants to cover up their shameful past.
Lin Qingjun ignored Nanny Gui's mood and looked straight at Nanny Qi.
That's right.
Who the hell was Nanny Gui? She rushed into her courtyard to complain about the death of a wicked slave. It made her look so lowly in the Junyuan.
If anyone comes, it must be someone of Qi Ma Ma's stature, who is worthy of her position in Qijunyuan.
Of course, it would be better if Qi came, as it would further demonstrate the importance of Qijunyuan.
However, this is impossible. Da Tao is dead, and Qi Shi has not yet taken such notice of her and come to ask about her in person.
In her eyes, Da Tao was just a stray dog begging for food. If he could do a good job, that would be good, but if he couldn't do a good job, it wouldn't be a big deal if he died.
It was just that Da Tao's body was found, and she died in such a place. It would be unacceptable for her to really sit back and do nothing.
She was just going through the motions.
When Lin Qingjun thought of this, she sneered in her heart. If Datao knew that her life was treated so lightly by Qi, she wondered if she would regret working for Qi?
Also, the reason why she dared to kill Da Tao was because she was sure of Da Tao's position in Qi's heart.
Since you are an unimportant person, what does it matter whether you are dead or alive?
It was she who threw Da Tao's body into the cesspool. She originally wanted to make it look like she was killed by a robbery, but when she thought about what she had done to her aunt, she really couldn't forgive her. Even if she died, she would not let her die cleanly.
Therefore, she sank the corpse into the cave again at night when no one was paying attention.
The smell of feces completely covered up the smell of the corpse. In addition, Da Tao had offended many people, so even if she didn't show up for several days, no one would care.
Therefore, the matter was not discovered until now.
Lin Qingjun brushed off the non-existent dust on her body, feeling disgusted with Da Tao, and also with Aunt Qi and Aunt Gui in front of her.
When Aunt Qi saw this, her brows furrowed slightly.
She was so calm, could it be that she really didn't kill Da Tao? Did they make a mistake?
When the servant came to report Da Tao's death, the lady was worried about the birthday gift for Old Madam Qi. First, the eight hundred taels of orchids were lost, then the embroidery of Dieman Peony was lost, and then there was the master's angry shout and Lin Qingjun's "reminder".
Each of these is better than the death of a shameless slave who betrayed her "sisters", right?
That's right.
Da Tao had done several things to make the lady happy before, but that didn't mean she was the lady's confidante.
Don't forget how Liu helped Da Tao before. It was Liu who helped Da Tao to get the night fragrance that she didn't want to give up. But in the end, when she saw that Liu had become a concubine, she became resentful. Not only did she give her safflower medicine to Liu's concubine to miscarry a boy, she also broke her good embroidery hands, and even let Xiao Yuan in to humiliate her daughter.
How can a man who doesn't care about the old relationship win the lady's attention?
Who knows, maybe Da Tao will get some higher benefit in the future and sell out his wife?
Therefore, Da Tao's death did not attract the lady's attention at all.
However, this did not prevent Madam from using the matter of Da Tao as a pretext for attacking Qijunyuan. What if Concubine Liu and her daughter really killed Da Tao? Madam would then have a reason to hand them over to the authorities and have them sentenced to death for murder.
This is also a beautiful thing, isn't it?
Lin Qingjun stepped forward with a delicate smile and nodded slightly, "Greetings, Madam Qi. I hope you are well."
As soon as these words were spoken.
Aunt Qi wanted to vomit blood again.
They just met, and now she is coming forward to greet him. Isn't this a mockery of her?
Also, even if it was a greeting, it was she, an old servant, who greeted the second young lady first. If she greeted the second young lady first, wouldn't it be considered rude in the eyes of others?
Sure enough, when Madam Qi saw from the corner of her eye that the looks of several servants were not right.
Nanny Qi gritted her teeth. When did Lin Qingjun become so resourceful?
have no choice.
She could only kneel down and greet him, "This old servant greets the Second Young Lady. Please give your greetings, Second Young Lady."
For some reason, after Aunt Qi finished speaking, Lin Qingjun's smile seemed to deepen, and her mood seemed to become more cheerful. In other words, she was waiting for her to kneel down to her?
this?
Aunt Qi had a mouthful of blood stuck in her throat, unable to go up or down.
Aunt Gui was also a little confused.
How could she feel that Aunt Qi had been left behind in just two or three sentences?
No, no, that's impossible.
Nanny Qi was brought from Madam Qi's natal family. She was the personal nanny personally selected by Madam Qi and was trained by the Qi family personally.
Moreover, when Madam Lin was still in the mansion, it was this nanny who single-handedly captured the head servant girl beside Madam Lin, and then drove Madam Lin out, oh no, asked her to go to the farm to recuperate.
Who is Lin Qingjun?
When Aunt Qi was showing her power, Lin Qingjun was still a young girl?
Even though Lin Qingjun is sixteen or seventeen years old now, she is still young after all. How can she suppress Aunt Qi?
But.
Nanny Gui frowned again, but the atmosphere here showed that it was indeed Lin Qingjun who was pressuring Nanny Qi.
Nanny Gui didn't want Lin Qingjun to take the lead, so she said again.
"Why should Madam treat a murderer with such courtesy? Isn't she afraid of retribution for such a cruel person?"
When Aunt Qi heard this, she secretly praised Aunt Gui, saying that she was the one who promoted her and that she had expressed her true feelings.
But she couldn't agree directly, so she could only say it hypocritically.
"What nonsense are you talking about? The truth is not even clear yet. How can you be sure that the Second Young Lady is the murderer?"
Lin Qingjun smiled, seemingly trying to excuse her, but in fact she had already accepted what Aunt Gui said.
Nanny Gui cooperated with Nanny Qi's words in a tactful manner.
"But Madam, someone has proven that Qijunyuan was the last place Datao arrived before her death. If she wasn't the one who killed him, who else could it be?"
"Besides, Concubine Liu and Da Tao have been feuding for a long time. It's not impossible that Concubine Liu would kill Da Tao to vent her anger."
"Also, I led some people to search Da Tao's residence, and all of Da Tao's belongings were looted."
"They must have been the ones who murdered and robbed people."
Speaking of this, Aunt Gui became more and more excited, as if she had discovered something extraordinary.
She rushed to Lin Qingjun's side and pointed at a set of food boxes on the stone table.
"Look, Mammy, this is the evidence."
"I recognize this food box. It's from Qifulou, and it's specifically used to store Qifulou's precious lotus cake."
"Second Miss, Second Miss, your monthly allowance is only three taels of silver. Besides the money needed to keep the small kitchen running, you also have to buy embroidery thread and other things."
"Let me ask you, if you hadn't made a fortune, where would you have the money to buy the expensive cakes from Qifulou?"
"Tell me, how did Da Tao die? If you tell me the truth, I will plead with Madam. Maybe she will spare your life. Otherwise, I will never let you go easily."
