Yun pursed her lips, glanced at the tools in Zheng Qiu's toolbox, and finally went out.
Gu Xin followed and closed the door, then walked to the bedside and looked at Miss Feng, who was already naked.
She frowned and said, "According to what Miss Feng said, it shouldn't be like this at all! Miss Feng has talked about everyone in the mansion, who could possibly hit her?"
Miss Feng had many scars on her body, both old and new, and they were all in normally hidden places. Even on her arms, you couldn't see them at all unless you rolled up your sleeves to your shoulders.
If all the injuries were fresh, it would be understandable; one could say that Miss Feng was tortured by the murderer before she was killed. But the fact that there were so many old injuries is rather puzzling.
Zheng Qiu said, "Ask her personal maid, Que'er, later. Que'er is with Miss Feng San all day long, it's impossible that she doesn't know anything. And Madam Feng Er, she values this daughter so much, how could she not know that her daughter was being abused?"
Gu Xin nodded: "That's right. That sparrow seems honest. We can't say she's lying, but she definitely didn't finish what she was saying."
Zheng Qiu thought so too. She picked up her tools and told Gu Xin, "Xin Xin, you don't have to stay here. You can check if there are any other clues in this room. I can manage on my own."
Gu Xin nodded: "Yes, just call me if you need me. I've come to take a look at Miss Feng's things."
Gu Xin had already asked Dong Xue to keep watch here, and from the time she arrived until now, she was able to ensure that nothing inside had been moved.
Gu Xin searched the room thoroughly but found nothing suspicious.
Then there was a delicate little box next to the bed, which contained the clothes, jewelry and daily necessities that Miss Feng used when she went out.
Because it was in a temple, the clothes inside were mostly very simple, and there wasn't much jewelry, just hairpins and earrings.
On the lowest level, Gu Xin found a small box, about the size of her palm, which was locked.
Gu Xin took out the small box.
She had already learned how to pick locks long ago. Bai Yi and the others knew a little bit about all sorts of things, and Gu Xin learned from them.
Upon opening the box, a stack of letters appeared inside.
Gu Xin opened it to take a look.
These letters were written by a man named Yulang to Miss Feng. From the contents, it can be seen that the two corresponded back and forth.
The letter was ambiguous, revealing the pain of unrequited love.
This young man called Miss Feng "Sister Shu," and the two were extremely close. The letter did not mention anyone else; it was almost entirely about how much he missed her, how he couldn't sleep at night, and how he couldn't eat or drink.
Gu Xin got goosebumps.
The names of several daughters in the Feng family all contain the character "Jin". The third daughter of the Feng family is named Feng Jinshu, so this young man calls her Sister Shu.
Could this Yulang be Miss Feng's cousin?
But judging from the date, it doesn't seem to be Miss Feng's cousin. After all, her cousin had been trying to break off the engagement in various self-destructive ways since the beginning of this year.
However, judging from what the Feng family members said, Miss Feng was deeply in love with her cousin, so how could she correspond with other men like this?
Was the entire Feng family lying, or was Miss Feng the Third too good at hiding her true intentions?
It should be the latter. If it were the former, it would be impossible for them to be so in agreement without any preparation.
