Because of the four major surnames, the Pei family can be said to be the most prosperous area in Yangzhou City.
But Pei Ji and his mistress died tragically overnight, and so many things happened one after another within half a month. It can be said that the whole Pei family was in turmoil and people were in panic.
As Liang Jiunan and Yu Langya entered the Pei Mansion, the concubines and concubines who originally had their doors and windows open for ventilation locked their doors and windows one by one in fear.
Even the maids and servants walked around the road when they saw the two of them.
Obviously, everyone knew why the Demon Subduing Division had sealed off the Pei Mansion, and they did not want to have anything to do with this matter.
"Then let's get started." Yu Langya suggested: "Fortunately, it's just a room, so it shouldn't be difficult to search."
Liang Jiunan waved his hand: "Don't worry, we have to find someone who understands to ask first."
As he spoke, Liang Jiunan glanced around and suddenly focused on a maid who was passing by in a hurry.
This maid looks familiar, seems to be the one she teased at the New Year's Eve ceremony?
"Huh?" Liang Jiunan grinned and blocked the other party's path in a flash: "Sister, please wait!"
The maid was so frightened that the other party froze in place, and the dishes in her hands smashed to pieces with a "pop".
"My lord, have mercy on me! My lord, please have mercy on me!"
But he saw the other party kneeling down with a plop and kowtowing repeatedly: "Such a big change in the Pei family has nothing to do with me as a slave!"
Liang Jiunan looked helpless. After helping the other party up, he showed an expression that he thought was very romantic.
"Sister, don't be afraid."
"We are here to investigate the second lady Yang."
The maid looked up in surprise, and was stunned when she saw Liang Jiunan's red and phoenix eyes.
Then, as if moved by the warmth in Liang Jiunan's tone, he blushed and took a few steps back in embarrassment.
A trace of pride flashed in Liang Jiunan's eyes.
In my previous life, I looked ordinary and had a bloated figure.
In this life, I have a good figure and good looks. When I have nothing to do, I must go to some Hua Fang Red House to meet me and chat about the "love affair" that I never dared to think about in my previous life.
Suddenly, Yu Langya's sneer sounded in his ears.
"Your flirtatiousness is gradually turning into obscenity!"
"I saw you standing there in a daze, and I knew what was going on in your mind!"
Yu Langya raised her leg and kicked Liang Jiunan away gently: "Sister, may I ask... did the second lady Yang do anything strange before she went home to visit her relatives?"
Perhaps because of Yulangya's sassy temperament, the maid is not so nervous anymore.
After she thought about it carefully, she showed a trace of confusion:
"I haven't been here on business for too long."
"I heard that the second lady... actually entered the mansion earlier than the mistress, and she is more popular with the master."
"The mistress is weak-tempered, but she can't compete with the second lady."
"If there's anything unusual... it's the child!"
"Years ago, I heard that my mistress gave birth to a daughter. Purple scars appeared all over her body not long after. Medicines and stones were ineffective, and she died within two days."
"The mistress has always said that it was the second lady who did something, but this matter has since been settled."
"But...it's strange."
"About half a month ago, when baby ghosts began to appear in the mansion, the second lady suddenly became very irritable."
"Even two of the maids who worked under her were beaten to death."
"I don't know if I have violated any taboos."
"Later, after I saw Tongfang's belly ruptured, that night, I saw her writing something in her room, looking very anxious."
"The next day, it seemed that she wanted to send it out, but another incident involving a baby ghost took her life that day, so she didn't care about anything and went directly back to her parents' home."
Liang Jiunan and Yu Langya looked at each other.
After years of handling cases, they all had an intuition in their hearts... I am afraid that this matter is not just as simple as Yang's killing of Pei's children.
The letter... was obviously meant to be sent to someone, someone... someone Yang believed could solve the Yinggui Rebellion!
Thinking of this, Liang Jiunan said with a smile:
"Sister, don't be afraid. If nothing happens, there shouldn't be any problems in the Pei Mansion."
"You should go and rest. If you worry too much, it will damage your complexion. It won't be good!"
Yu Langya rolled her eyes and couldn't stand Liang Jiunan's lack of tone, so she grabbed him by the collar and left.
"No, it's not easy for a little lady to see me blush and her heart beats." Liang Jiunan laughed.
Yu Langya sneered:
"When the business is done, no matter how careless you are, it will have nothing to do with me!"
"According to what the maid said, Yang's fear of infant ghosts is probably related to this matter!"
"The most important thing is to find the code quickly!"
…
Soon, the two came to Yang's room.
Yang's room is actually not far from Pei's room. The overall area is smaller than Pei's house, and the location is more secluded.
With the maid's reminder, the two of them deliberately focused on stationery, notes and other items while searching.
After a while, Yu Langya looked at the messy desk with a headache: "No, could it be that... Yang took the letter with him when he left?"
"It's not impossible." Liang Jiunan checked the surroundings: "But if she left in such a hurry, she shouldn't have thought so much."
"Besides, Sister Langya, don't you think it's strange?"
"He left the Pei Mansion in a hurry without being notified, and left for more than ten days. Then Pei Sima turned out to be like a normal person?"
While talking, Liang Jiunan glanced at Yang's bed.
But I saw a small box, very disharmoniously stuck in the gap under the bed.
Immediately, Liang Jiunan took out the box, opened it, and found a letter that had already been placed.
"Sister, I found it!" Liang Jiunan said, taking out the letter and opening it, only to see a piece of white paper, densely packed.
…
"Master, the situation is different from what you said!"
"My lord and I have dealt with those children according to your previous instructions."
"Not only that, we also bought some baby girls who met the requirements from beggars and people who harvested raw materials."
"Although in terms of fortune, my master and I, as well as the entire Pei Mansion, are indeed getting better and better."
"However, during this period, there is an infant ghost causing trouble in Pei Mansion for no reason!"
"Several concubines and concubines who had signed contracts before unexpectedly all died one after another!"
"This kind of targeting is too obvious!"
"Master, please show mercy no matter what!"
"I have already gone to my parents' house where the ceremony was arranged previously. No matter how much it costs, we are willing to bear it!"
The further the writing goes to the back, the more confusing it becomes.
Liang Jiunan stared at the content of the letter for a long time, with a meaningful look in his eyes:
"Sister Langya, you said... Yang didn't have time to send this letter."
"Or... someone deliberately left it here, just waiting for us to find it?"
"Don't you think that the content of this letter is more like luring us to go to Yang's natal family?"
