Grandma Qi San exclaimed, and the sound of gongs and drums on the stage stopped abruptly, and everyone in Linfang Pavilion stood up one after another.

"Who drowned? Where?" Grandma Fang San hurriedly called the girl to come and ask.

"When I go back to the third grandma, I don't know the drowned maid. I don't seem to be from the mansion. Judging from the dress, I don't know which girl he is from."

"Ah?" several people exclaimed at the same time.

Because the second wife of Qi disappeared, because the Fang disappeared, because Xun Shufang and Xun Shulan, and because the two wives of the Liu family disappeared. It is said that these people were going to see the white cranes in Xinyuan just now, and there was a lake in Xinyuan, so these wives were all busy.

Grandma Fang San helped Mrs. Qi Er and asked the girl to lead the way. Everyone followed her to Xinyuan.

When I walked to the courtyard just now, the leading girl did not walk east, but went directly to the Hanghua Gate to the south.

"Are you confused? Is Xinyuan there? This Zhuyuan is where the marquis usually rest, and only the sister-in-law can enter. Besides, who would come to the place where the marquis rest?" Grandma Fang San stopped and scolded the girl.

"When I go back to Grandma Three, I am drowned in this bamboo garden."

Grandma San was stunned for a moment and said reluctantly: "...The Marquis's garden has a lake, which is connected to the water of Xinyuan. Let's wait until someone returns to the Marquis and go in before going in."

Mrs. Qi, Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Liu walked so far, but they didn't see their own girl. They were even more anxious and could not wait.

"All of them are elders, and there is something wrong. I think the Marquis won't be surprised." Grandma Fang San had no choice but to say that, and everyone surrounded her into the bamboo garden, and no one stopped her at the door.

Xun Qingran saw that there was indeed green bamboo planting in the garden. There was a bamboo building not far away. There was a small pool in front of the bamboo building. There were several women around the pond, and they were pulling something from the water to the shore with bamboo poles and other objects.

When an old woman saw Grandma Fang San, she hurried over to report that the person had already been caught.

"I don't recognize who I am. I'm wearing good clothes, but I'm not the girl in the mansion." The woman said.

Everyone hurriedly walked over, and both Mrs. Qi Er and Fang were relieved. Mrs. Liu covered her chest with a sigh, while Mrs. Liu San simply turned her eyes and fainted.

Xun Qingran and others walked behind, and they understood the scene a little. Yan Mingyue wanted to see but didn't dare to see it. Rong Yunnuan and Qi Wanli were a little timid. Although Xun Qingran was also a little scared, she still leaned over to look.

Liu Lian was lying there, his hair was scattered and his breath was gone. The locust collared trousers on his upper body were pressed against his body, but the lower body was only wearing pine flower trousers embroidered with gold thread, but the light purple embroidered skirt he was wearing on the mat just now.

The reason why Xun Qingran still remembers what kind of skirt Liu Lan was because she was wearing a light purple embroidered skirt today. Rong Yunnuan also said that she wore the same skirt as Liu Lan, but it was different when she looked closely. Liu Lan's embroidered only peony, while Xun Qingran's embroidered peony is a butterfly play with peony.

"Oh, my poor sister, why are you so accidentally falling into the water and drowned? My poor sister." Grandma Xun came at some point, looked at Liu Lan's body and helped Mrs. Liu cry there.

Mrs. Liu San had just passed by. I don’t know what Grandma Fang San sucked her. She woke up and threw herself on Liu Lan’s body and made a sad voice: “My daughter, my Lan'er, why are you so cruel and leave your mother alone. You cruel child, how can you live in the future if you call me mother..."

Everyone sighed. After hearing the whisper of Mrs. Qi and Fang, Xun Qingran realized that Mrs. Liu San was a widow, with only one daughter like Liu Lian. The mother and daughter depended on each other and lived with the head of the Earl's Mansion.

Rong Yunnuan didn't know if it was sad about the scene, sobbed beside her. Qi Wanli and Yan Mingyue hurriedly pulled Rong Yunnuan's hand and persuaded her.

"Oh, what's wrong here?" Xun Shufang came from somewhere, and leaned behind Xun Qingran to look at Mrs. Liu San. Xun Qingran wanted to move a step to the side and give Xun Shufang a place. Xun Shufang pushed Xun Qingran's back with one hand. Xun Qingran lost balance and staggered forward two steps before stabilizing her body.

"Oh, third sister, why can't you stand steadily?" Xun Shufang didn't say that she deliberately pushed others, but instead complained to Xun Qingran as if nothing had happened, and then walked to Fang. Xun Shulan was also standing beside Fang and was talking to Fang.

"Don't touch my daughter, no one is allowed to touch my daughter."

Xun Qingran felt someone patting her calves. She looked down and found that she was standing next to Liu Lan's body, with one foot on the corner of Liu Lan's clothes. Mrs. Liu San was a little confused, hugging Liu Lan's body with one hand and slapping Xun Qingran with the other.

Xun Qingran felt very uncomfortable and hurriedly retracted her feet, but she had already left footprints on the corner of Liu Lan's clothes. Xun Qingran didn't care about anything else, so she hurriedly squatted down and took out a handkerchief to wipe the corner of Liu Lan's clothes.

Xun Qingran's action touched Liu Lian's trousers, and a snow-white neck was exposed at the collar, and there was a circle of blue and purple bruises on the neck.

Xun Qingran was stunned.

"Mrs. Liu San, Miss Liu is afraid she didn't drowned."

Xun Qingran wanted to tell Mrs. Liu San, but she still shut up. If Liu Lian drowned, she could be said to have fallen into the water accidentally. But if she was strangled to death, then things would be complicated. This is Fang Xin's garden, and Liu Lian shouldn't have come. Now that she is here, she is strangled to death, and she is only wearing pants. In this era, a girl is wearing only pants in a man's garden. What does this mean?

But a girl can't die indecipherable.

Xun Qingran grabbed one hand of Mrs. Liu San and comforted in a low voice: "Madam, please beg for the change." As she said this, she naturally put Mrs. Liu's hand on Liu Lan's neck. "Look, Sister Liu must not miss you if she is so sad."

Mrs. Liu San's gaze turned to Liu Lan's neck.

Just now, Xun Qingran deliberately lowered Liu Lan's womb and exposed the bruise more clearly. She asked Mrs. Liu San to see it herself. As long as she was not a fool, she could understand what the trace meant. What to do next is left to Mrs. Liu San to decide.

Mrs. Liu was confused for a moment, stroked the bruises with her hands, and finally woke up a little.

"Oh my God, who was it? Who killed my Lan'er."

This sound was like a giorgio blew over the heads of the people around him. Some people walked forward and some people retreated.

"Three brothers and sisters, don't talk nonsense. This is the Marquis' Mansion. Who will kill Lian'er? Third brothers and sisters, you are sad and confused." Mrs. Liu walked over.

Xun Qingran wanted to stand up, but suddenly saw Liu Lian clenching his fist tightly with one hand placed beside him.

"Mrs. Liu San..."

Xun Qingran was about to signal Mrs. Liu San to check Liu Lan's hands. Grandma Fang San had already walked over and helped Xun Qingran up with one hand.

"Sister, you are young and have a lot of courage. This is not the place you should stay. Get out of here quickly." As he said that, he asked a girl who followed him to help Xun Qingran to the side, but she squatted down beside Liu Lan's corpse.

Mrs. Liu San cried for a while and then fainted again. After everyone discussed, they wrapped Liu Lan's body first, and lifted Mrs. Liu San with a soft pocket, and everyone followed behind.

"Mrs. Liu San said that just now, this matter is not something I can do. I always have to make an idea for the Marquis and sister-in-law. All the elders are here and can help you come up with ideas." Grandma Fang San suggested, and everyone came to Grandma Fang's yard.

Xun Qingran and Rong Yunnuan walked behind. In front of him, Grandma Xun walked beside Mrs. Liu San's soft pocket and whispered to Mrs. Liu San. Grandma Fang San said a few words to Mrs. Qi Er and Fang, then walked forward and took Grandma Xun's hand. I don't know what she said, so the two left everyone and went aside to talk.

When I arrived at Grandma Fang's yard, I learned that Grandma Fang had just heard the news and fainted and had not woken up.

Zeng's mother came out with her two daughters to entertain guests for Grandma Fang.

"Why did Miss Liu run to the Marquis' Zhuyuan alone? Someone else went wrong. Some people said that Miss Liu followed Mrs. Liu to see the Marquis's wife almost every day, and almost walked all over the Marquis' Mansion. She actually went wrong? Besides, the Marquis had drunk too much on the table and went to the Zhuyuan for a while. The door was closed tightly. How did Miss Liu get in? Where did Miss Liu's skirt go?...I want me to say it, it's all calm. If you don't say it, I won't say it, just cover it up. She is afraid of being ugly and seeking short-sighted opinions. Our Marquis's wife is also a kind person, so it's just not to pursue it. Who is embarrassed if you are so noisy?"

Mrs. Qi Er heard that her mother Zeng was wrong and quickly sent Xun Qingran and the others to the room next to her.

Xun Shuzhi was still in a daze, sitting there in a daze. Xun Shulan was different from the past and just lowered her head and didn't say anything. Only Xun Shufang didn't know what she was thinking, but she had a smile on her lips. Zeng Ning couldn't sit still and walked around the room, while Zeng Jing sat quietly on the chair, as if nothing had happened.

Xun Qingran sat there, quickly sorting out the story in her mind. She thought of the few people who left the seat early and didn't know where to go, and ran towards Zeng Jing in the corridor, who was holding something in her arms, the unreasonable request of Grandma Xun's grandma Xun's dress to change her skirt, the blurred figure behind the vine curtain, the weak "um", the girl who went to report the message, the surprise of Grandma Fang San, Liu Lan's missing purple flower skirt, the bruises on Liu Lan's neck, Liu Lan's empty and unsightly eyes, Grandma Xun, Xun Shufang, Xun Shulan and Qi Wanrong appeared one after another after Liu Lan's body...

It seemed that something was missing, and something seemed to be more. Xun Qingran felt that she seemed to have grasped some key, and suddenly there was a chaos outside.
