Lianzi lowered her eyes and followed the housekeeper. As they walked, more and more servants and maids followed them. Everyone seemed to see the seriousness of the housekeeper's face and kept silent, fearing that they would bring bad luck. They secretly guessed the purpose of the lady calling them all over.
Lianzi glanced sideways at the servants who had followed him, and when he didn't see that familiar smiling face, his eyes dimmed a little.
Where is Rengui? Why hasn't he shown up?
"We're here. Follow me in." After taking two steps, the housekeeper stopped again and said in a stern tone, "Also, remember your identities, your indentures, your lives and property are all in the hands of the lady. After you go in, don't say what you shouldn't say, and don't do what you shouldn't do. You only have one life, so cherish it." After saying that, she glanced at Lianzi lightly.
Lianzi saw a trace of pity in those eyes. She frowned even deeper and subconsciously clenched the corner of her clothes.
As Lianzi walked into the main courtyard, he looked up and saw the lady.
She sat on a carved pearwood chair with her hands on both sides of the chair, her posture dignified and rigid.
She glanced at everyone, her eyes cold and emotionless.
Lianzi noticed that the lady's gaze lingered on her for two seconds longer, and in an instant, she felt uneasy.
She had always known that the Madam was very fierce, especially when she frowned and had no expression on her face, which could almost scare people to tears. Even the young lady was a little afraid of the Madam. As a little maid, Lianzi was naturally afraid of her as well.
At this moment, she heard screams of fear from the people around her.
There was a faint smell of blood in the air that made one's stomach upset.
Lianzi couldn't help but look up and scanned the area. When he saw a certain place, his gaze suddenly stopped.
There was a long bench with a person lying on it. From Lianzi's angle, he couldn't see the person's face.
The man was dressed as a servant, lying on a stool motionless, his pants stained with blood.
Lianzi had seen servants and maids in the mansion being beaten with boards before, but this was the first time she had seen someone so brutally beaten. She even suspected that the man was dead.
When Lianzi saw the purse on the boy's waist, her breathing almost stopped. Her eyes were fixed on it, unwilling to believe it.
The blue purse is embroidered with a lotus flower. After the lotus flower withers, it will produce lotus seeds, so this lotus flower represents lotus seeds.
A few days ago, Rengui's birthday was about to come, and she asked him what gift he wanted. Rengui smiled and said that he wanted a purse embroidered by her.
So, is the person lying there Rengui?
"Madam has instructed that no one is allowed to see the young lady, and Lianzi is not allowed to leave the house. Rengui was disobedient and has been beaten to death." The housekeeper stood beside Ye Ying and said coldly.
"That's actually Rengui. I was wondering why I didn't see him just now."
"Rengui was beaten to death. Beaten to death, does that mean he died?"
"I've already told you that Lianzi isn't a good person, but Rengui just had to like her. Now look what happened, she's been killed."
Sighs, cries of fear, and complaints lingered in Lianzi's ears.
Lianzi's ears were buzzing and her head felt dizzy for a moment. When she came to her senses, she had already pushed away the person in front of her and ran to the stool.
Lianzi half-knelt on the ground, and with trembling hands, he gently peeled away the hair in front of the man's forehead, revealing his delicate face.
However, the familiar warm smile on his face was gone. His eyes were closed, his face was as pale as paper, and he was silent.
