Chapter 314 Take away
As younger sisters, the two sisters have always been serving Old Madam Ye and live in the same bedroom, so it is natural that they know each other's affairs.
When Chunlan saw her masters asking about her dead sister, she shrank back, as if she was a little scared, so Gu Junqing tried to speak to Chunlan in a gentle tone:
"You just need to tell me what your sister said to you or what she did to you before she died. Nothing will happen to you."
Chunlan knew that the person who was speaking in a gentle tone and seemed to be comforting her was General Gu. Seeing her assurance, the tense mood on her face relaxed, and then she honestly told the whole story of Chunxing's life. Gu Junqing and others stood aside and listened carefully.
After Chunlan finished speaking, she looked at them cautiously.
In the end, it was Old Madam Ye, who was standing not far away watching them, who sent someone over to ask Chunlan to come back.
Everyone present came back to their senses from their thoughts and looked at Chun Xing who had returned to Old Madam Ye.
Gu Junqing looked towards Old Duke Ye.
Old Duke Ye looked back at her, then thought of something and explained, "Chunlan has been taken care of by my wife since she was a child. She is reluctant to let Chunlan suffer any grievances. She called Chunlan back so soon, probably because she thought that Chunlan had suffered some grievances here with us."
Gu Junqing nodded: "So that's it."
Anyway, everything that needs to be said has been said now, and there is no need for them to let Chunlan come back and continue saying useless things.
It was not appropriate to continue standing here to discuss things. So Duke Ye led them to the front yard.
He ordered his servants to serve tea and put out a few plates of cakes, and then continued the discussion around the previous topic.
Gu Junqing glanced at the old Duke Ye and Duke Ye who were sitting opposite her. Seeing that they were also looking at her, as if they wanted to get some advice from her first, she paused while trying to adjust her sleeves, then pulled her hand back and placed it firmly on her leg, then spoke:
"According to Chunlan, her sister Chunxing began to distance herself from her for unknown reasons during her lifetime. Then, except when she was serving the old lady, she could not be seen at other times. Her whereabouts became more and more mysterious. Sometimes, when people ran into Chunxing occasionally, they saw her communicating with a servant."
"But in order not to alert the enemy, I just watched them talking from a distance until they were far away and then left. I tried to ask her a few questions at night, but she just said, "Don't meddle in other people's business." Then Chunlan stopped caring about Chunxing. But you can still get news about Chunxing from other people occasionally. The last news I heard about Chunxing was that she was hiding in the woodshed with a few servants. It was said that she had committed a crime and was locked up there by other masters."
Old Duke Ye interrupted at this time and said, "As for what crime she committed, and which master of the Ye Mansion Chunlan knew nothing, so now the first thing we have to do is to find the person who locked Chunxing and the servants in the woodshed. Oh, and those servants, I will ask the servants to call those servants out later, so that we can know who locked Chunxing and the servants in the woodshed."
Duke Ye nodded beside him, and then consciously did not let Old Duke Ye speak in person. He said to the servant standing beside him waiting for orders: "Go find those servants and bring them to the small courtyard where the group of suspects were placed before, and let them wait there."
The servant knew what Duke Ye was talking about, after all, he was listening to their conversation, so he nodded in agreement and turned to leave.
The three of them started a topic around Chun Xing, and the conclusion they came to was that Chun Xing was an accomplice voluntarily and was not forced to be an accomplice by others. It was just that at the last moment, Chun Xing was used as a scapegoat and was killed by the murderer with a single knife.
While they were discussing, Old Madam Ye, who had been standing not far away watching them, seemed to find the discussion boring, so she left the yard with her maids and servants.
After all, this courtyard has been a place that Old Madam Ye has visited every day since the beginning. The flowers here are growing quite beautifully, and it just so happens that Old Madam Ye loves flowers, but she is afraid that she has no mood to appreciate them today.
Old Madam Ye left quietly, and Gu Junqing glanced in the direction where Old Madam Ye left.
Then continue the previous topic.
After the conversation was almost over, Old Duke Ye took the lead in suggesting, "It's not a good idea to keep discussing these things here. Why don't we go to another courtyard and interrogate the suspects who were present at the time one by one? What do you think, General Gu?"
Gu Junqing felt that this made sense, so he nodded in agreement and said, "What Old Duke Ye said is right. Let's listen to what Old Duke Ye said. What do you think, Old Duke Ye?"
Duke Ye had nothing to think about. He just nodded in silence and agreed, "You two are right. I will listen to you."
The eyes of the Junior Official of the Dali Temple flashed with complex expressions. Seeing Duke Ye's silence, he thought that a sense of presence was something that could not be forced. After all, in the previous topic, Duke Ye basically didn't talk much, which made it easy for people to ignore his existence. It was hard for Gu Junqing to remember him. Add to that what she said just now, and she felt inexplicably humbled.
He is also humble at the same time, and he doesn't even deserve a name.
Without further ado, the group headed towards the courtyard that Old Duke Ye mentioned. The servant that Old Duke Ye had sent out earlier had not returned yet, which meant that the servant had not yet found all the servants who were locked up in the same woodshed with Chun Xing.
Seeing the three people looking around the yard and then looking at him, Duke Ye smiled awkwardly, indicating that he knew nothing.
The three of them had no intention of making things difficult for Duke Ye. On the contrary, their expressions were somewhat solemn.
Either the servants around Duke Ye were useless and too slow to find the person, or they couldn't find the person, or the murderer had already killed those servants or took them away.
However, the servants who follow Duke Ye, even the servants that Duke Ye himself does not shy away from and trusts, are generally strong enough, which is why they have the opportunity to always stay by their master's side.
So the former idea is not very realistic, so the three of them thought of the latter at the same time.
After all, the possibility of the latter was too great, so they had to think more about it. What the three of them could think of, Duke Ye himself could think of even more.
After all, he is his own servant, so naturally he knows the strength of the servant better than they do.
