check?
Chenyu was afraid of Feng Yuheng talking, but he just didn't do what she wanted. Not only did he talk, but he also spoke to the point.
Feng Yuheng stood up and said to Feng Jinyuan, "Father, there is something strange about this. The eldest sister and the fourth sister have different opinions. The attendants around you just went to see it and said that the body was soaked in water. Father, you see, the place where the body was is a well. I saw that the well was fine, but it was suppressed by a stone. I don't know why. Why don't we move the stone down and check it out!"
Feng Jinyuan nodded, "Okay." Then he turned around and said to Han, "You are pregnant, it is really not appropriate for you to see this kind of thing. Let the servants take you back."
Han didn't want to leave. After all, this matter concerned Fendai, and she really wanted to know what the result would be. But Feng Jinyuan said that it was not appropriate for her to see these things. She had no choice but to ask Fendai to take care of things, and then went back accompanied by the servants.
Feng Jinyuan looked at Zirui again, wanting to say that he was young and might as well go back, but Zirui spoke before him: "Father, don't worry about Zirui. Zirui has already gone to school, and the headmaster said that I am already a big boy."
Feng Jinyuan nodded, and liked this son more and more. "In that case, you should follow your sister and don't run around." After that, she waved her hand and ordered the servants: "Go call He Zhong and ask him to bring more people."
The servant responded and left. Not long after, the butler He Zhong came hurriedly with a group of servants.
The big stone at the mouth of the well was quickly moved down, and Feng Yuheng took the initiative to step forward and walked towards the well. The other female relatives also wanted to see it, but they were also afraid of seeing the corpse. After struggling for a while, they couldn't help but be curious and followed a few steps forward.
Even Feng Chenyu had to get up from the ground with the help of Yilin, and stumbled over to take a look.
Feng Yuheng broke off a branch from a tree, reached into the well and fished around, and soon he found something.
She picked up the thing and threw it on the ground. People came over to take a look and found that it was a piece of clothing.
Fendai stared at the clothes for a long time, and suddenly said, "This is Pei'er's clothes. It's what she wore on the day she disappeared." As she spoke, she looked at Pei'er again, "Look, she was only wearing her undergarment. Apparently, her outer robe fell off when she was soaking in the water."
When people looked at the body, they saw that the only remaining undershirt had its buttons undone and would fall off after another soak.
Feng Yuheng fished in the well for a while, and when he saw that he could not fish anything out, he threw the branch away, turned around, squatted beside the corpse, and examined it carefully.
Fendai was still saying: "The person was kneeling beside the well, and the outer robe was soaking in the well. Isn't it obvious that Pearl died in this well."
Yilin argued unwillingly: "But the well is clearly covered, the clothes are still in the well, but the person is outside, this doesn't make sense?"
"Why doesn't it make sense?" Fendai's eyes lit up, "Maybe there are servants who still have a conscience and can't stand you doing this kind of thing, so they secretly fished her out. Poor Pei'er, she has been with me for so many years, but I haven't been able to find her a good husband, and she was killed by you!" Fendai started to cry, crying and saying, "Grandma, do you believe what Fendai said this time? Feng Chenyu is a bitch with a kind face but a vicious heart! This time she killed Pei'er, who knows who she will kill next time."
The old lady finally understood that she was indeed frightened by Chenyu that day. She couldn't help but glare at Chenyu angrily - "Tell me, what is hidden in the vase?"
Chen Yu still shook her head desperately: "No, my granddaughter hid something, and the fourth sister is framing me!"
"The evidence is all here, and you still dare to say it's a frame-up?" Fendai wished she could tear Chenyu's face into pieces.
"What kind of evidence is this?" Chen Yu said loudly, "Someone must have deliberately framed her and drowned her before putting her here."
Yilin also said: "This small garden is remote, and it is winter now, where are the flowers? Miss has not set foot here for several months!"
Xiangrong didn't say anything, just stood by and watched, but she felt that her elder sister was guilty, so she couldn't help but pull An's sleeve, "Aunt, is it my elder sister who is lying?"
Before An could answer, Zirui, who was standing nearby, heard it and said, "Sister, your face is pale, your eyes are blinking non-stop, and your body is shaking. This is obviously a sign of lying."
An looked at Zirui and couldn't help but praise: "He is indeed the second young lady's brother. He looks exactly like her. Even the tone of his voice is similar."
Zirui gave An a gift in return: "Thank you for the compliment, auntie." An was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
At this time, Feng Yuheng spoke again, "Look!" She stretched out her hands to pinch Pei'er's cheeks to force the corpse's mouth to open, "Look, there is something in her mouth."
Everyone looked over and saw that the corpse had a colored thing in its mouth.
Feng Yuheng put his right hand into his sleeve, took out a bamboo and wooden tongs from the space, and reached into the mouth of the corpse to pick up the mass. Xiangrong said in surprise: "It's a purse!"
Others also saw that it was a purse, but they didn't know why there would be such a thing in the mouth of a dead person.
Suddenly, Zirui said, "Yilin, what are you looking for?"
This question directly drew people's attention to Yilin. People with sharp eyes also saw that Yilin was groping around on his body, as if he was looking for something.
Hearing Zirui's question, Yilin panicked and said casually, "No, I didn't find anything. Second Young Master must have seen it wrong. I didn't find anything."
Feng Yuheng was not happy. "What second young master? There is only one young master in the mansion now. Are you reminding father of something?"
Feng Jinyuan's face darkened and he stared at Chenyu.
Chenyu couldn't understand, so she quickly said, "Zirui is the eldest young master, Yilin, don't talk nonsense."
"Yes, yes, it's the eldest young master." Yilin was even more panicked, "I said the wrong thing, eldest young master, you are the eldest young master."
"Isn't that Sister Yilin's purse?" Suddenly a timid voice sounded, and people looked in the direction of the voice and saw a chubby little girl with a cute round face. The little girl was staring at the purse and said doubtfully: "It is a new purse made by Sister Yilin a few days ago. When she made it, I thought it was beautiful, and I took it in my hand and looked through it carefully. I can't be wrong."
"Shut up!" Chenyu was anxious. This was the girl in her yard! She had only thought that this girl was chubby and a little silly, but she had never thought that she was really silly and actually said such a thing at this time!
Unfortunately, it was too late to shut up; the words had already been spoken and people were listening.
The old lady waved to the girl, and the fat girl timidly stepped forward and heard the old lady ask: "Are you sure that it's Yilin's?"
The fat girl took a closer look, thought for a while, and said, "Sister Yilin said she wanted to embroider her name on the inside of the purse. I wonder if it's in there."
Feng Jinyuan immediately ordered his servants: "Open it."
A servant came forward, folded the purse open in a few seconds, searched carefully for a while, looked up and said, "There is a word Lin!" Then he was about to take it and show it to Feng Jinyuan.
Feng Jinyuan was not willing to look at the dead man's things, so he waved his hand and drank the boy's wine, "No need to look, the matter is clear." He turned back to look at Chenyu, "What else do you have to quibble about? Your father believes that he has treated you well over the years, and everyone in the mansion can see my cultivation of you. Why can't I get your true heart to the Feng family? Tell me, what is in the hidden cloth bag?"
Chen Yu knelt on the ground and begged, "Father, please believe me. I am not hiding anything! I really am not hiding anything! It's just a servant who died. You can't say it wasn't my fault. Even if it was, I shouldn't blame you for the death of a servant!"
"But she is a servant in my yard!" Fendai was so angry that she jumped up and down. "If you want to beat or kill someone, you can just go after the people in your own yard. Why do you want to touch the girl next to me?"
"Fourth sister, it really wasn't my fault!" Chenyu had already made up her mind. She would never admit to this matter even if she died. She had to insist that it had nothing to do with her. If she really couldn't do it... she glanced at Yilin out of the corner of her eye. If she really couldn't do it, she would just have to push Yilin out as a scapegoat.
"Quibbling!" The old lady leaned on the ground with her staff and cursed angrily: "You vicious little bitch, how could my Feng family have a daughter like you? Jin Yuan, find out what she is hiding. If it is not good for the Feng family, I must clean up the mess!"
Chen Yu was frightened by the words "clean up the house" and knelt on the ground unable to speak, but Feng Jinyuan was still asking her: "What do you have to say?"
"It's not me." She gritted her teeth, supported herself on the ground and stood up. She turned around and slapped Yilin in the face. "Bitch! Pei'er just had a few arguments with you. Why did you do such a cruel thing? What is the thing hidden in the vase?" Then she turned to Feng Jinyuan and said, "Father, my fourth sister said that it was this bitch who stole the things and ran away. I am really wronged and have been kept in the dark!"
Feng Yuheng sneered. At the critical moment, she threw her maid out to be a scapegoat. Feng Chenyu was indeed a good person.
"I can prove it!" Suddenly, Xing'er spoke up, "One night, Sister Yilin gave me some silver and asked me to find someone to fill the well. I didn't know what was going on, but when I saw the silver, I took a few people to fill the well in a hurry." She pointed at the maids who filled the well, "These are the people."
The girls were so scared that they all knelt on the ground and said one after another: "It was Xing'er who came to us to fill the well. We also saw that Yilin found Xing'er first."
Yilin was about to collapse. She had never expected that everyone in this courtyard, including Feng Chenyu, would use her as a scapegoat. Now, what else was left for her except death?
She glared at Chenyu, "I have served the young lady for many years. Even if I have not made any contributions, I have worked hard. Why do you push me out first when something happens? It is true that I pushed Pei'er into the well, but don't you know why I pushed her? Since the young lady is so unkind, don't blame me for being unjust." Yilin turned around and knelt directly in front of Feng Jinyuan, "Master, I confess everything!" [End of this chapter]
