At night, Kong's courtyard became quiet.
Kong was recuperating from illness and needed to be quiet. The servants in the yard had been beaten by Jiang Jinxin, and now they hung up the lanterns early.
Before the courtyard door was closed, a lantern was hung on the corridor.
A figure came in from the outside. It could be vaguely seen that it was a maid. She bent over and turned towards the backyard. She seemed to be holding something in her hand. After not long in the backyard, the maid turned to the front again, looking the same as before. It's just that my back straightened up, and the thing I just held in my arms was gone.
Another maid suddenly appeared in front of the courtyard gate.
It was Qing He next to Jiang Jinxin. She pushed the door open and entered the yard.
Looking at the empty yard, and then at the lights on the corridor, his eyes suddenly met the maid who had just turned around from behind. The maid glanced at Qing He and quickly lowered her head.
Although Qinghe had just arrived at Jiang Mansion, she was the first-class maid in the manor, while she was just a rough maid.
"You...come here." Qinghe waved to the little maid.
The little maid looked around and saw only herself, so she could only trot over: "Sister Qinghe."
"Where is the gatekeeper in your yard?" Qinghe asked.
"Maybe... maybe I have to leave for a while because I have something to do. I will close the courtyard door and go to bed soon." The little maid said timidly. She looked like a timid maid.
The little maids can't stand up straight in front of the first-class maids.
"Where did you go just now?" Qinghe asked casually.
"Slave... this slave has been cleaning the yard." The maid pointed to the broom placed in the corner and whispered, "My wife is recovering from illness, so you can't be loud. This slave is cleaning very slowly and lightly."
"Have you always been here?" Qinghe asked.
"Yes, this slave has been here and has not gone out." The maid said.
"Did you see a mother-in-law coming over, the person next to the second girl?" Qinghe said.
"Is...someone coming?" The little maid was startled.
"Didn't you see? Aren't you always here?" Qinghe looked at her suspiciously.
"The slave is always here, but I was cleaning the corner before, and I really didn't find anyone coming." The little maid explained in a panic. She went out secretly, how could she see someone coming? She was afraid of being discovered, so she was busy doing whatever she wanted. Pointing to the corner, she indicated that she was telling the truth.
"You really didn't see it?"
"I really didn't see it."
"Okay, you go do the work!" Qinghe nodded.
The little maid left timidly.
Qinghe went to the main room, and Mrs. Kong was not asleep yet. She slept a lot during the day, and she didn't really want to sleep now. She was talking to Tian's mother.
Not long after Qinghe entered, Tian's mother went out and saw the maid cleaning not far away. She nodded and called her over: "Come here."
"Mother Tian." The maid put down the broom obediently.
"Go and ask the second girl to come over." Tian's mother said.
"Husband... Madam, what's the matter? It's getting so late, has the second girl already rested?" The little maid looked at the sky outside.
It was already dark.
"Go if you are told." Tian's mother's face turned cold.
The little maid didn't dare to say anything more and went to Jiang Jinxin's yard.
Jiang Jinxin has been waiting for news about Qinghe. She heard that Kong was looking for her and brought Yangliu over.
As soon as you enter the door, you must first salute Mr. Kong.
"Jin'er, did something happen?" Kong asked. She actually didn't ask for Jiang Jinxin to come over. It was Qinghe who came over to say that Jiang Jinxin was coming, and asked Kong to send a maid outside to send a message to Jiang Jinxin.
"Mom, it's nothing serious. You can rest first. I'll go to the outhouse to ask Qinghe."
Kong took Jiang Jinxin's hand and said uneasily: "Jin'er, if something happens, don't bear it on your own. Mother is not dead yet, and she can still protect you."
It's not like this atmosphere is okay.
"Mother, my daughter understands. Don't worry. I'll tell you after I've asked her for a while, okay?" Jiang Jinxin knew that Kong was uneasy, so she gently pulled Kong's finger and said angrily, "My daughter knows that mother will protect Jin." Son’s.”
Seeing that her appearance was normal, Kong's heart dropped a little, and she slowly put down Jiang Jinxin's hand.
After reassuring Kong, Jiang Jinxin took Yang Liu to the outhouse.
Qinghe in the outer room pointed to a package placed on the table and said, "Girl, that's it. It's all in here. Under a peach tree behind Madam's house, there is a newly dug hole. It's not too deep. There's no need." Special tools can be used to dig the ground, such as a broom."
Qinghe grew up in the countryside and was very familiar with this kind of thing.
A small hole can be dug out in just a few strokes.
The package was not big, it was still stained with dirt and knotted, but the material was good. A package made of such material must belong to the master of the house.
"Open."
Qinghe stepped forward and opened the knots, tying at least three knots.
There was a box in the package. When I opened the box, there was actually a book and a pair of pearl earrings inside.
Jiang Jinxin opened the book and saw that it was a Book of Songs. There was a signature on it, a man's name, Xiyuan gifted Wanmei, and looked under the pearl earrings. There was also a note: Huanjun Mingzhu sheds tears. I hate you. When we met before we were married.
West Park?
I have never seen this book or this brochure, but even if I have never seen it, I can still feel that this matter is related to the Kong family.
There are not many things, just these two things have made people imagine endlessly. Jiang Jinxin has never known that there is such a person, named Xiyuan? It sounds more like a man's word.
Only close people would say such things.
"Girl, it was the slave's turn to go over to exchange the willows, and she saw Lu Ge secretly meeting this maid and giving the package to the little maid. The slave stared at the person coming, and sure enough she saw her entering the madam's yard. When I waited for a while and came in again, the maid had already moved to the front, and she was about to go in..."
Qinghe explained the matter in detail.
Tian's mother pushed the maid away, and went to the back to look around. Sure enough, she found such a thing, which the maid had taken with her when she secretly left.
Needless to say, this is what is going to frame Madame.
Jiang Jinxin flipped through the Book of Songs again and found that it was full of annotations. The man's handwriting was not his mother's, which would make it easier for people to suspect something.
Ma Yanzhu was still as restless as in the previous life. She closed the book in her hand heavily and a stern look flashed in her eyes. In this case, don't blame her for being rude.
No matter how ambiguous it looked, she didn't believe it.
This book, Green Song, does not exist, nor does the Jiang Mansion exist. It belongs to the Anxin Hou Mansion. Jiang Jinxin almost immediately confirmed the traces of this book. It should have happened when her mother was not married. As for this pair The pearl earrings are a recent thing. The most suspicious thing is that the handwriting on the paper is vaguely the same as the handwriting on the Book of Songs, but it can be seen that one was written not long ago, while the other was written a long time ago.
Comparing before and after, people immediately doubt Kong.
Picking up the book, Jiang Jinxin turned to the inner room. She believed that her mother would definitely have her own explanation...
