I saw a little girl standing beside Fendai with a panicked look on her face. She was holding a tray with tea in her hands, but she accidentally knocked it over. Han was frowning and trying to pat the water that splashed on her. I will tell you that the fastest update is the eyes. Fast?
The girl looked like she wanted to say something to Fendai, but when Fendai shouted like that, everyone looked at her and her words were stuck in her mouth and she couldn't utter a single word.
Feng Yuheng glanced at Huang Quan who was standing next to her. Seeing Huang Quan nodded slightly at her, she knew what was going on, so she took the initiative to say, "It's just a girl knocking over a teacup. There's nothing to be surprised about."
After she said that, no one thought much of it, and Fendai seemed to see that the girl had something to say, not to mention that she was a girl from her yard, so she went along with it and said, "That's right, I'll punish this girl later. Today is a welcome party for father, don't ruin the atmosphere for such a small matter." Seeing that no one was paying attention to this side, she whispered to the girl, "What happened?"
The girl leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Didn't we send someone to look for Pei'er quietly? Just now I received news that someone saw Pei'er by a well in the eldest lady's courtyard?"
"What?" Fendai was shocked, and she suppressed her voice and asked again: "What is Pei'er doing there?"
"He was kneeling by the well."
Feng Fendai's angry little universe exploded again. Damn Feng Chenyu, not only did he arrest her maid, but he also dared to resort to lynching?
She stood up suddenly, and her movements were so violent that the dishes in front of her fell over. Everyone was startled again, and wanted to ask her what was wrong with her, but they saw Fen Dai with a face full of anger, and she rushed to Feng Chenyu, without saying a word, raised her hand and slapped her twice.
These two blows stunned Chenyu and everyone present. Feng Chenyu even forgot to cry and just stared at Fendai in a daze. Her face was burning with pain, but it could not resist the horror in her heart.
How dare this girl hit her? Or did she do it in front of the old lady and Feng Jinyuan? Was she crazy? But on second thought, she felt that although Feng Fendai was willful and reckless, she was not so foolish. Something terrible must have happened to cause her to behave like this.
Feng Chenyu's face turned pale in an instant. She seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but glance at Yilin. She saw that Yilin also had a look of horror on his face. It was obvious that they were thinking of the same thing.
After the people in the Feng residence were shocked by Fendai’s beating of Chenyu, the old lady and Feng Jinyuan were all furious. But before Feng Jinyuan could say anything, Fendai spoke first, pointing at Chenyu’s nose and scolding, “Bitch! You dare to go to Grandmother and pretend to be innocent with your eloquence, and even dare to say that I entered your yard alone that day. Then let me ask you, why is my maid Pei’er, who has been missing for many days, now kneeling by the well in your yard?”
Chenyu was shocked. Pei'er was kneeling by the well? —— "This is impossible!" Then she turned her head and asked Yilin, "Why is the fourth lady's maid kneeling in my yard?"
Yilin pretended to be calm and said, "Don't worry, young lady. This is absolutely impossible. The maid of the fourth young lady has never entered our yard."
Feng Jinyuan finally interrupted and asked Fendai, "What's going on?"
Fendai turned around and pointed at her own face: "Father, have you seen Fendai's injury? Yes, Fendai broke big sister's vase, but that was also the reason why she discovered the secret in the vase. It turned out that big sister hid a strange cloth bag in the vase. I don't know what was in the bag. Anyway, just when Fendai was about to pick it up, big sister suddenly pushed me to the ground, and that's how I got this facial injury. And then her maid -" she pointed at Yilin again: "Yilin pointed at the cloth bag on the ground and ran out, and my maid Pei'er chased after her. Later, Pei'er disappeared."
The old lady also remembered after hearing this: "I haven't seen your girl for quite a while. Didn't you say you punished her last time?"
"Grandma!" Fendai almost cried, "Isn't it common for the master to punish the servant? Grandma, can you guarantee that the servants in the courtyard will never be scolded? I have never heard of a servant disappearing because of being scolded by the master. Besides, the Feng Mansion is big, but no matter how big it is, it is impossible for her to hide for several days. Grandma believed the eldest sister that day, can you believe Fendai for once today? Everything Fendai said is true."
The old lady didn't know what to say. She originally believed Chenyu in this matter, but now Fendai actually dared to beat Chenyu in front of her father and told the matter again, which meant that she had a position on this matter, which was worth discussing again.
"Grandma, father." Before the old lady could speak, Feng Yuheng had a suggestion, "The matter between the eldest sister and the fourth sister has been going on for many days. Since it is unclear who is real and who is fake, now that we have a clue, why don't we move to the eldest sister's yard and find out at a glance."
Chenyu shivered and wanted to say something to stop them, but the old lady had already stood up and said, "That's right, let's go over and take a look together."
After the old lady said that, even Feng Jinyuan had to get up and follow Chenyu to the courtyard. Huang Quan was sharp-eyed and saw that Yilin was about to walk quickly to the path after whispering a few words to Chenyu. She stepped forward and stopped Yilin, "Miss Yilin, your young lady is still here. If you don't follow her, where are you going?"
Yilin's arm was gripped by Huang Quan so stiffly that it seemed as if the bones were about to break. She wanted to cry but had no tears. She returned to Chenyu as if she was kidnapped by Huang Quan. The two looked at each other, both panicked and at a loss.
Feng Jinyuan was not very clear about this matter. An was present at the time, so An told him the whole story along the way. In the end, Feng Jinyuan also figured it out. The key to this matter was what Chenyu was hiding. She was so afraid of being discovered. Could it be something shameful?
He had a plan in mind. He had already been dissatisfied with Chenyu because of the eldest prince's matter, and now he disliked his eldest daughter even more.
Finally, everyone gathered in Chenyu's courtyard. The maids in the courtyard didn't understand what had happened and why the masters of the house had come here. The maid who reported to Fendai said, "It's the well over in the small garden." So everyone went to the small garden again.
The servants who participated in filling the well turned pale with fear when they heard this, and cast inquiring eyes to the newly promoted maid Xing'er who stayed in the courtyard. But Xing'er was also confused. Since she was promoted to a first-class maid, the division of labor between her and Yilin was very clear. Yilin was still responsible for the eldest lady's personal affairs. Occasionally, she would go to help, but she was mainly responsible for the affairs in the courtyard. Including the distribution of work and the dispatch of servants, listening to the servants calling Xing'er sister, she was very successful.
Xing'er knew that there was something in the well in the garden, so the servants who were responsible for cleaning and picking branches on weekdays were the ones who discovered the situation and participated in filling the well that day. She also paid attention to the movements in and outside the courtyard, and was very sure that no outsiders had come since that day. But what was going on now? Why did the masters go straight to the small garden as soon as they entered the courtyard? What did the maid next to the fourth lady mean?
Xing'er was flustered, and Chenyu was even more flustered. This kind of panic is easy to happen when one's hands and feet are not in good condition. As she was walking, she tripped and fell. Just as she was about to fall to the ground, Feng Yuheng quickly helped her up: "Big sister, walk carefully, don't fall. If you fall, we will be busy taking care of you, and we will not be able to go to the garden to see Pei'er."
Feng Chenyu looked at her in surprise, and suddenly realized something - "You did it, right?"
Feng Yuheng looked at her with a smile, "What did I do? I don't understand, please explain it to me clearly, big sister."
What could Chen Yu say? She couldn't ask Feng Yuheng if he found the body in the well, that would be a confession. So she lowered her head in silence.
When people finally walked into the small garden, Zirui followed Xiangrong and walked with him...
Suddenly he pointed to a well in front of him and shouted, "Look, there's really a person kneeling there!"
People looked in the direction Zirui pointed and saw a figure kneeling by the well with his back to them. The man was only wearing the undershirt of a white cotton-padded jacket, his hair was loose behind his head, he was soaking wet and looked very disheveled.
Feng Jinyuan frowned and asked Chenyu: "Who is that?"
Chen Yu shook her head, "My daughter doesn't know."
"You don't know?" Feng Jinyuan was furious. "This is your yard, and you say you don't know?"
At this time, Fendai ordered the maid beside her: "Go and wake her up and see if it is Pei'er. No matter who it is, don't just kneel down. If you have something to say, come and talk to us."
The girl hurried forward to call for help, but before she could say anything, the person at the well suddenly tilted his body and fell to the ground with a thud. Immediately afterwards, the girl screamed "Ah!" and her legs became weak with fear. She almost crawled back to the crowd and cried out in a choked voice, "Dead man! He's dead!"
"What?" People were shocked, and the women stepped back in fear.
Feng Jinyuan waved his hand and told the servant beside him: "Go and check."
The servant was braver than the women, so he ran over to check. After a while, he came back to report to Feng Jinyuan: "Master, the person is indeed dead, and the body has been soaked in water for many days, and the face is distorted. But it is still vaguely recognizable. It looks like Pei'er, the maid next to the fourth young lady."
Pei'er is an elder in the Feng Mansion and has been with Fendai for many years. This servant is also an elder in the Feng Mansion, so he is naturally very familiar with Pei'er's appearance, so he dared to conclude that the corpse was Pei'er's.
Fendai became even angrier when she heard this. She was no longer afraid and shook off Han's hand, running towards the body. Soon, she was heard shouting at the well: "It's Pei'er! It's Pei'er! Father, Pei'er has been with you since I was six years old. I will not make a mistake. This is Pei'er. It was my elder sister who killed her!"
Feng Chenyu was so scared that she sat down on the ground.
That's not right! The big stone that filled the well was still there, and everything was the same as before. Why did Pei'er's body appear, and kneel beside the well? Could it be a ghost?
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" She kept repeating, "You must have seen it wrong, it can't be Pearl!"
At this time, Feng Yuheng took another step forward, bent down and said to Chen Yu: "Don't worry, big sister, we will know whether it is Pei'er or not once we check."
