When these voices came out, people in the room also joined in the discussion, talking excitedly, as if they believed that the groom had escaped from the marriage.
After hearing what the groom said about escaping from the marriage, the woman glared at the villagers with gritted teeth, wiped her tears with her sleeves, and yelled at the talking villagers.
"Get out, get out of here!"
The bride is gone, but she is still saying in front of her mother that the groom is running away from the marriage. No mother can listen to this.
The villagers who were yelled at had sarcastic expressions and muttered that the groom must have run away, but they did not dare to speak louder. They left the room one by one, not sure if they went on to say they were suspicious of the groom.
After these people left, the woman who was about to faint from crying was helped out by the woman next to her with a sigh, and was sent to other rooms to rest. A few people were left behind for the bride to tidy up, leaving a decent life for her to leave and be buried. install.
"We are here with Xiaoling. You two little girls go and pack some of Xiaoling's things and then put them into the coffin with others." An aunt waved her hands towards the girl and Yu Shu and said.
The two of them responded and went to pack their things.
Miao Xiaoling seems to be a simple girl. There are no expensive things in the room, not even rouge and gouache. The combs on the dressing table are all broken, and the hairpins are also made of wood. She seems to be a very frugal person. people.
Yu Shu put away the things that Miao Xiaoling used frequently, and opened a small box under the dressing table. When she saw a mirror inlaid with gems, golden in body, as if made of gold, and only the size of a palm, Yu Shu's eyes darkened.
"Where did you find this?!" The girl who came over to fold her clothes and put them on the table suddenly widened her eyes when she saw the mirror and asked in a loud voice.
Her voice attracted the two ladies who were changing the bride's clothes to look over. When they saw the mirror, they were so shocked that their clothes fell on the bed.
"Here, isn't this mirror something that the officials came to the village to search for in the past two days? I heard that it was the treasure of some big shot, and they searched and interrogated every household one by one. Why was it in Xiaoling's boudoir? "
Yu Shu put the mirror back into the box and thought to herself.
Since an official has come to search, there is no reason why the box placed in an unsecured place would not be found, unless it was deliberately placed here for others to discover afterwards.
Yu Shu thought so, but the girl and the two aunts said suspiciously.
"How did Sister Xiaoling steal the mirror? How could she, a weak little girl, have the ability to steal this treasure from a big shot?"
"Xiao Ling doesn't have the ability to steal treasures, but the groom does. Yu Ruiguang has worked as a bodyguard, and he has great skills. I heard he has even killed people, so stealing is not impossible for him. "
"I mean, it's no wonder they got married after only knowing each other for a short time. And this girl, Xiaoling, is a virtuous person, but she is a woman who has been married, given birth to a child, and was kicked out of the house by her husband's family with a divorce letter. Yu Ruiguang is a young man who first worked as a bodyguard and then as a hunter. He has made a lot of money and has a solid foundation. Why do you just fall in love with Xiaoling, a concubine?"
At this point, the aunt slapped her thigh and made a conclusion.
"Maybe when Yu Ruiguang was working as an escort, he stole the treasure that was being escorted. Someone looking for a big shot came and found it, so he put it in Xiaoling's boudoir, which he had searched first. Xiaoling used the treasure to threaten Yu Ruiguang to marry her. Yu Ruiguang was not satisfied with being threatened, so he killed Xiaoling!"
It sounded reasonable and well-founded. Yu Shu didn't believe it, but she wrote down all the information.
Afterwards, the woman didn't know if she heard the noise and came over. When she saw the mirror, her expression changed and she hurried over, closed the box, held them in her arms, and drove them all out.
After coming out, the girl was called away by her mother.
"You girl, why are you going to Miao Xiaoling's boudoir? There are so many people in the village, why are you joining in? Are you alone? Miao Xiaoling disappeared on the day of her wedding, so you are not afraid of getting into bad luck. Did the marriage you mentioned fall through?"
Far away, Yu Shu could still hear the voice of a woman pointing at the girl's forehead and scolding her. Yu Shu stood in the yard, looked around and saw no one suspected of being a player, so she went to look for the house at the end of the village that Song Zhi had mentioned.
