    "Miss, please come to the front hall."

    In a few days, it will be the Winter Laurel Festival, and Chu Ruoqi has made up her mind to get back all the humiliation she suffered during the autumn hunting during the Winter Laurel Festival. She has been taking good care of her skin these days, so at night  All went to bed early.

    Being woken up from sleep in the middle of winter is really not a pleasant thing. Chu Ruoqi said dissatisfied: "It's so late at night, why are you going to the front hall? Is there anything you can't talk about tomorrow?"

    The maid did not dare to get into trouble at this time. She lowered her head and did not speak or retreat. Chu Ruoqi looked at her and raised her voice slightly and asked: "What are you doing here? Are you deaf?"

    The maid shrank her shoulders in fear and said softly: "I don't have you, but the housekeeper is waiting outside the door. I just said that the young lady is asleep."

    The butlers are here. Is something big going on?

    Chu Ruoqi suppressed her anger and opened the quilt and said to the maid: "Why don't you comb my hair and change my clothes quickly?"

    Ru Lan is not here, this new maid just doesn't have the eyesight.

    The maid quickly helped Chu Ruoqi finish dressing up. When Chu Ruoqi went out, she saw the housekeeper waiting outside.

    The housekeeper is quite old and has been in Weiyanghou Mansion for decades. He speaks with a certain dignity. Chu Ruoqi did not dare to get angry with him and asked softly: "Uncle Lin, did something happen in the house?"

    "You'll know when you get there, Miss Lin," Lin Bo walked forward with a lantern in hand and reminded carefully, "The ground is slippery, Miss, be careful."

    Uncle Lin¡¯s attitude was still respectful, but Chu Ruoqi felt a little uneasy for no reason.

    It is already the end of Xu Shi, and according to custom, the lights in the house should be turned off, but now everywhere is still brightly lit.

    Arriving at the front hall, Lin Bo stopped outside the hall and made an invitation gesture, gesturing for Chu Ruoqi to come in.

    Chu Ruoqi took a deep breath and walked into the hall, and immediately saw Gu Yanting sitting in the hall.

    Wearing a navy-blue embroidered fourth-grade school lieutenant uniform, Gu Yanting sat there boldly, like a statue of an Arhat that could drive away all evil spirits.

    It¡¯s so late, what is Gu Yanting doing here?

    Chu Ruoqi felt even more uneasy in her heart. She walked to the center of the hall and was about to salute when she saw a large pool of bright red blood on the floor tiles. A chill ran down her back and she exclaimed in low voice: "Ah."

    Chu Ruoqi spent a lot of time dressing up, and Marquis Weiyang had already become impatient with the waiting. He said with a sullen face: "What are you yelling about? Is this how your mother taught you the rules?"

    Marquis Weiyang was very stern, and Chu Ruoqi was a little afraid of him, so she quickly saluted and said, "Qi'er has met her father and mother. I wonder why she called Qi'er to the front hall late at night?"

    Marquis Weiyang didn¡¯t have the patience to beat around the bush and looked directly at Chu Ruoqi and asked: ¡°A few days ago, was it you who posted a post inviting Mrs. Gu to come to your house to taste tea?¡±

    It was for this reason.

    Chu Ruoqi had already thought of a countermeasure and subconsciously went to see Mrs. Hou. As soon as she glanced at Wei Yanghou, she slapped the table and said angrily: "I'm asking you, what do you think your mother is doing!?"

    Marquis Weiyang's anger nearly lifted the roof off the house. Chu Ruoqi's eyes turned red and she felt aggrieved. She said gloomily: "My daughter has just fallen asleep. She didn't know anything when she was called here. If her daughter made a mistake,  , the father said it bluntly, what is the purpose of such a fierce daughter?"

    You are still aggrieved.

    Marquis Wei Yang frowned, stared at Chu Ruoqi and asked, "Don't you know what good things you have done?"

    Chu Ruoqi had never been treated so cruelly before, she blinked and shed tears, and said, "My daughter was grounded for more than half a month, and she has been locked up all these days. I really don't know what she did to make her father so angry."

    Seeing that Marquis Wei Yang was so angry that he was about to run away, Mrs. Hou quickly said, "Qier, if my father asks you something, just answer him truthfully. Don't talk back."

    Mrs. Hou's tone was also very serious. Chu Ruoqi calmed down her emotions slightly and said, "My daughter did invite Mrs. Gu to come to the house to taste tea before."

    Marquis Weiyang continued to ask: "Where did she take the maidservant?"

    How can you ask about the whereabouts of a maid?

    Chu Ruoqi secretly glanced at Gu Yanting in surprise. Gu Yanting was sitting there, sipping tea slowly, without even looking at Chu Ruoqi, as if everything that happened now had nothing to do with him.

    Being scolded so badly by her father that night, and being humiliated in front of a reckless man, Chu Ruoqi lost all her face, and her heart was filled with anger. Before Wei Yanghou got angry again, she said, "That maid slipped and fell."  He entered the pool and drowned. What happened to him was in the Marquis of Weiyang's Mansion. Wenbsp; Chu Ruoqi refused to answer Gu Yanting's question. Gu Yanting was not surprised. He nodded and said, "I think Miss Chu's proposal is good, so just do as she said."

    Wei Yang Hou was in a bad mood and did not refuse, so he asked the housekeeper to summon all the maids and servants in the house.

    The Marquis of Weiyang's family has a great business, with eighty-three servants. Soon the front hall was crowded with a large group of people.

    Gu Yanting was very patient and called people in one by one for questioning.

    After only asking thirteen people, there was a commotion outside. A maid committed suicide by hitting a pillar. The other maids immediately identified her as the one who pushed Yingyue into the pool and drowned her. As for the motive for the murder, it was the quarrel between the two that day.  The maid impulsively pushed Yingyue. When this happened, the maid couldn't bear the pressure and had no choice but to commit suicide.

    The murderer and witnesses are all there, and the case is solved here.

    The housekeeper sent everyone away. Chu Ruoqi was not happy to have escaped. Instead, she looked at Gu Yanting and deliberately provoked: "The truth has come to light. What else does Captain Gu want to say?"

    Gu Yanting was still so calm and said calmly: "The official only said that the case was related to the Hou Mansion of Weiyang, and never said that it was related to Miss Chu. Although the murderer had committed suicide in fear of crime, the person was still killed in the Hou Mansion.  Yes, shouldn't it be time for the Marquis and his wife to reflect on how the servants in the palace could be so bold as to commit murder?"

    This matter is indeed disgraceful, and Wei Yanghou is not a fool. He has long seen what is going on. He glanced at Chu Ruoqi and yelled: "That's enough! Shut up!"

    Chu Ruoqi reluctantly shut up. Wei Yanghou looked at Gu Yanting and said, "This matter is indeed caused by our Wei Yanghou Mansion failing to control the servants. Someday, I will definitely send someone to Tingwei Mansion to report to Gu Yanting."  The captain apologizes."

    ¡°There¡¯s no need to apologize, as long as the matter is clarified,¡± Gu Yanting said, changing the topic, ¡°This matter has been clarified, but there is one more thing¡­¡±

    Before he finished speaking, Qing'e stepped into the hall and said loudly: "Sir, Ru Bing is dead."

    The doctors at Weiyang Hou Mansion tried their best to treat Ru Bing, but the bite she gave her was too hard, she lost too much blood, and eventually died.

    Wei Yanghou¡¯s face looked a little ugly.

    With Ru Bing dead, it¡¯s hard to say what the Weiyang Hou Mansion intended to do by sending her to the Tingwei Mansion.

    Chu Ruoqi didn¡¯t know what happened before, so when she heard the news, she immediately asked: ¡°Why did Ru Bing die when he was fine?¡±

    Gu Yanting asked: "Miss Chu, do you recognize her?"

    Chu Ruoqi said: "She is the maid in my yard, how can I not recognize her?"

    "So she was given to my wife by Miss Chu?"

    Chu Ruoqi did not dare to answer Gu Yanting's question directly now, and said warily: "What do you want to say again?"

    Gu Yanting said: "Since the person was given to my wife by Miss Chu, why didn't Mrs. Hou explain it openly from the beginning? Why did the maid bite her tongue and commit suicide in fear?"

    Chu Ruoqi guessed that Ru Bing was forced to death by Gu Yanting, and she became even more angry. She pointed at Qing'e and said, "Master Gu thinks there is something wrong with the maid I gave to Mrs. Gu? What about her? If this young lady  I remember correctly, this wretched maid should be from the Duke's Palace, but how come Master Gu, who is from the Duke's Palace, can accept her, but I, who is from the Marquis Weiyang's Palace, can't?"

    Neither Wei Yanghou nor Madam Hou recognized Qinge. When Chu Ruoqi pointed out Qinge's identity, their expressions changed again.

    Why does the Duke¡¯s Mansion also send people to Tingwei¡¯s Mansion?

    Gu Yanting brought Qinge to Weiyanghou Mansion just to let them recognize Qinge's identity. After being exposed by Chu Ruoqi, he didn't mind at all and said: "This maid is the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion."  The person who was sent to the house to repay her kindness was never involved in any murder case, and an important reason why the subordinate kept her was that she was very skilled, she could be both a maid and a nurse, killing two birds with one stone."

    Chu Ruoqi sneered and said, "Master Gu speaks so grandly, but he actually wants to take the opportunity to flatter the Duke of Zhen, right?"

    Since ancient times, the most taboo thing for emperors is for officials below to form cliques and form cliques for personal gain.

    Chu Ruoqi thought she had caught this flaw and wanted to take the opportunity to go to Gu Yanting and the Duke's Mansion to seize the excrement basin. Gu Yanting said quietly: "Actually, it's not like I'm ignorant and want to reject the good intentions of the Duke's Mansion.  , let¡¯s do this, ask the maid from the Marquis¡¯ Mansion to compete with this maid from the Duke¡¯s Mansion, and if there is one who is passable, I can bring him back to the Mansion.¡±

    You have already killed two maids in the Hou Mansion tonight, and you still have the nerve to say that you want to take a maid away with you?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
