Where is the third lady?
Shuitao knelt on the ground, facing Yin Su, holding back the tears that kept rolling down, gritted his teeth, and strengthened his thoughts.
She said with red eyes: "Madam, I firmly believe that my master will never hang himself. In the evening, she happily made perilla soup for the third lady and nursed her back to health."
"In just a few short hours, it's impossible for my master to lose his mind."
"The third lady is still so young, how could she abandon the third lady and ignore her? There is absolutely no reason to hang herself."
The more Yin Su listened, the tighter his brows became.
Shuitao crawled directly to Yin Su's feet, raised her red and swollen eyes, and begged: "I beg you, madam, to thoroughly investigate the murder of Mrs. Qing. My master's death, I think it must be persecution."
Shuitao kept complaining about her master's grievances, her voice was hoarse, and the determination in her words convinced everyone present.
No one paid attention to the gloom in Yin Su's eyes. At this time, her calm and serious voice came over, "Okay, I will give her dignity about Mrs. Qing's death. When the palace lord returns, I will also reveal this matter."
.”
Shuitao was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized that Yin Su was planning to put an end to the matter temporarily, "But... madam, the murderer is most likely still in Xuanling Palace at this moment."
It has only been a short time since Mrs. Qing was found hanging from the beam, and it is impossible for the murderer to escape.
Shuitao cried with affirmation, "Also, I was a light sleeper and lived in the side room, very close. After hearing the noise, I ran over and found that my master had been killed... I was so frightened that I yelled,
Then everyone showed up."
As soon as these words came out, Commander Wan's face changed as he stood behind Yin Su, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. He felt that hanging himself was not that simple.
He remained silent and looked thoughtfully at Mrs. Qing on the bed.
He also appeared right after the scream. It can be inferred from Shuitao's words that Mrs. Qing obviously did not commit suicide.
Anyone with a little bit of common sense understands that if a person hangs on a beam, there will inevitably be a process of suffocation and death.
It's impossible that Shuitao noticed the noise immediately and didn't have time to stop it.
Seeing Shuitao's reluctance, Zhiying, the maid next to Yin Su, frowned and stood in front of Shuitao with a look of displeasure on her face.
She glanced at Mrs. Qing, who was lying dead on the bed, with a look of disgust on her face, and said coldly: "Whether Mrs. Qing's death was her own choice, or whether there was another murderer, Madam will investigate thoroughly, how can you allow you to comment?"
Yin Su suppressed the deep look in her eyes and said in a deep voice: "I will go and explain to the Palace Master what happened to Madam Qing."
The implication is that she doesn't have to promise anything to a lowly girl no matter how she handles it.
When Shuitao heard this, her heart trembled, and a flash of astonishment flashed across her eyes.
She was not stupid, and she immediately understood the meaning of Madam's words, that she had overstepped the bounds in her excitement.
The madam is obviously annoyed by the quarrel. If she continues to pester her, she will definitely not get any benefits, let alone redress her master's grievances.
Shuitao knelt on the ground nervously, enduring the intimidation that made it difficult to breathe.
She repeatedly denied, "I never questioned Madam's intention, I just wanted to..."
Commander Wan was listening with his eyebrows in thought, and suddenly stepped forward to interrupt, "So, where is the third lady?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked before they all reacted.
Yes, where is the third lady?
The entire Liuli Palace servants appeared after hearing the noise. With such a loud noise, even the sleepiest person should be woken up.
No wonder I always feel that something is wrong. It turns out that the third lady is not here. Something happened to my mother. Where did the third lady go?
The Mo Pavilion where Nangong Mo lived was originally the side pavilion closest to the main residence of Liuli Hall.
Yin Su tightened her hands in her sleeves silently, her displeasure hidden in her eyes.
Except for Yin Su and the two maids beside her, no one present really knew where Nangong Mo had gone.
Yin Su knew better than anyone why Nangong Mo was not present, but she still looked puzzled, frowning and telling the maid next to her: "Go to the side pavilion to see if the third lady is there."
