Chapter 7 The Surprising Cause of Death

Chapter 7 Shocking Cause of Death

The faint morning light filtered through the window screen, and the dark night receded from all directions like a tide, and the whole room was already filled with a clear coolness.

The morning breeze blew by, and the bells hanging on the corners of the eaves made a gentle sound.

Meng Heyin stretched, kicked the quilt, and turned over.

"Sand-sand-" the sound of the maids sweeping the floor was heard outside the door again, along with the sound of splashing water in the courtyard, "wow-wow-wow-"

Meng Heyin frowned.

Immediately afterwards, two footsteps were heard one after another. Meng Heyin's closed eyes moved, and he found the quilt and covered his head.

However, this method of self-escape did not have any effect, a clear female voice sounded.

"Miss, are you up?"

Meng Heyin pretended not to hear.

"Miss, Grandma Jiang will be back in a while, so get up quickly."

Bai Miao and Lu Wei's voices were still muttering outside, and Meng Heyin lifted up the quilt on his body with resentment on his face.

Even if she couldn't sleep in in her previous life, why can't she sleep in here?!

Outside the door, Lu Wei and Bai Miao looked at each other, and when they were both helpless and ready to leave, the door creaked open, and Meng Heyin, his hair in a mess, stood in the middle with disheveled clothes, rubbing his eyes.

Lu Wei's face turned pale, "Miss, what did you do at night..."

Meng Heyin glanced at her and said, "Sleep." Then he twisted his neck and walked back. He noticed Bai Miao next to him. After squinting and recalling, he bravely rolled his eyes at the sky.

Early in the morning, trouble!

Ignoring Lu Wei's frightened expression, Meng Heyin moved his neck left and right and walked toward the back room.

"Come in."

After a cup of tea, Bai Miao looked at Meng Heyin, who was sitting in front of the mirror and combing his hair, slightly uneasily.

"You..." Meng Heyin paused and considered his words, "I guess you already know about my amnesia?"

Lu Wei, who was combing her hair, shook her hands and looked at Meng Heyin in the mirror. She was relieved when she saw that she didn't look angry.

"yes."

"Then let's talk about what happened at the fire scene."

Bai Miao was well prepared and came up with the words he had thought up last night.

"The young lady had an appointment with Miss Su that day to go to Tianfang Building to choose jewelry..."

Time goes back to five days ago.

Spring is a time when everything revives and flowers bloom. However, Qiongzhou is located in the northwest border, and there are very few vegetation in the public areas of the city. Most of the flowers and trees are on the residences of officials, merchants and other important figures.

Young people had nowhere to go, so they wandered around several large commercial buildings in the city to spend the leisurely spring.

At noon, a carriage bearing the Meng family logo stopped steadily in front of Tianfang Tower.

Two maids came out of the carriage. One was as fair as snow in white clothes, and the other was smart and cute in green clothes. It was Bai Miao and Lu Wei.

Lu Wei covered her eyes with her hands and looked at the sun in the sky, and said, "Miss, Miss Su will only come in the afternoon. It's too early for us to come!" He continued to mutter in a low voice, "We haven't eaten yet."

Bai Miao reached out to help the woman who came out.

The woman was wearing a fresh pink skirt, made of the densely woven gold-thread brocade newly introduced from the capital. Liuguang brocade, as the name suggests, means that under the sun, the gold threads in the fabric will reflect the sparkling light like the surface of a lake.

So when the woman came out, the pink skirt made her whole body look radiant.

The woman herself has a delicate face, she has a fairy bun, and she wears a walking stick inlaid with pink gems, which sways slightly in the wind, making her look like a concubine or a fairy.

This is the real Meng Heyin.

While supporting Meng Heyin, Bai Miao scolded Lu Wei, "What are you complaining about? Are you worried that you will miss a meal if you follow the lady?"

Meng Heyin smiled and glanced at Lu Wei, who was thinking sadly, and said softly, "You can choose two dishes from Huizhenlou later."

Lu Wei instantly beamed, "Thank you, Miss!"

Bai Miao snorted.

Meng Heyin also looked at Bai Miao tenderly, "You have it too."

So Lu Wei and Bai Miao smiled and thanked Meng Heyin, and helped her walk towards Huizhen Tower next to Tianfang Pavilion.

When Bai Miao said this, she raised her head and looked at Meng Heyin, only to see that Meng Heyin turned around and looked at her condescendingly at some point, with undisguised scrutiny in his eyes.

"Continue?"

"After we finished lunch, the young lady remembered that Miss Su liked to eat milk cakes from the Crystal Shop, so she asked Lu Wei to go to the Crystal Shop to buy some. However, not long after Lu Wei left, the red leaf next to Xue Ningshi came.

.”

Lu Wei was shocked: "Hongye?! How could we meet them?"

In the private room on the second floor of Tianfang Pavilion, a beautiful maid stood in front of Meng Heyin and saluted.

"Ms. Meng, my young master learned that you happened to be here. He felt very lucky and invited you to talk."

Meng Heyin was very nervous and kept picking at her nails with her hands on her knees.

"this……"

"If it's inconvenient for Miss Meng, my young master can come in person."

"No!" Meng Heyin refused subconsciously and looked at Bai Miao as if asking for help.

Seeing this, Hongye pulled Bai Miao away directly, but Bai Miao couldn't resist. Meng Heyin watched as Bai Miao was dragged out, and the door was closed, leaving only herself.

"I don't know what happens next." Bai Miao knelt on the ground and lowered his head.

Meng Heyin tried hard to recall what happened at that time.

After she woke up, she immediately wanted to escape from the door, but the door was bolted on the inside. If a terrible person really came to find her, it was indeed possible that she would bolt the door himself.

Lu Wei was puzzled, "Then who locked the door outside?"

When Bai Miao heard this, he raised his head and looked at Meng Heyin resolutely, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"That maid of Mr. Xue." Meng Heyin said coldly, "She was afraid that I would escape, so she locked the door. Unexpectedly, Tianfang Pavilion suddenly caught fire, and I was almost burned to death inside!"

The more Meng Heyin talked, the angrier she became, clenching her hands tightly. Although she vaguely felt that something was wrong, this matter was so ridiculous that she was angry.

She never expected that the original cause of death would be so hasty. Just because a bored dude fell in love with Meng Heyin's beauty, Meng Heyin was going to be burned alive in the room!

"You should get up first." Meng Heyin said to Bai Miao, and then asked, "Who is Mr. Xue?"

After Bai Miao got up, he poured a cup of tea for Meng Heyin and handed it to him with some anxiety.

"At the time of Xue Ning, he was the only son of the county magistrate. He was used to running rampant in Qiongzhou County. He often bullied and teased others for fun. He stayed in private school for more than ten years and did not finish reading the classics. He read a lot of miscellaneous books."

Bai Miao added worriedly, "Speaking of which, he and the lady are still in the same private school."

"More than that! The poisonous woman has made an engagement between the young lady and him!"

Lu Wei told what he had heard some time ago and did not notice the shocked expressions of Meng Heyin and Bai Miao at all.
