NOVEL NEXT Chapter 83 Someone Drowned
When Xu Muhua woke up that day, she heard a noise coming from outside the yard. She called out to Pomegranate, but Wu'er came in.
"Did Miss also hear the noise outside? Pomegranate went out to take a look. Please help Miss get up first!"
Xu Muhua nodded. Pomegranate ran out while Wu'er was combing her hair. The sound rang out before anyone entered the room.
"Miss, miss, I heard this, something happened! A servant died in the pond in our house!"
Even Wu'er couldn't help but stop and was very surprised, "A servant in the house died? How did he die?"
Xu Muhua also looked at Pomegranate.
Pomegranate frowned, "I don't know yet. It looks like he drowned, but in this season, there isn't much water in the pond. How could he drown?"
Moreover, she heard from the servants around her that she didn't hear anyone calling for help last night. If he accidentally fell into the pond and couldn't swim, he would definitely scream for help, but everyone said that they didn't hear anything at all last night.Even the servants sleeping closest to the pond said they heard no sound.
But if he wasn't drowned, could it be that he was killed by someone and then thrown into the pond?
Thinking of this, Pomegranate's face changed with fear!
"I'll go take a look." Xu Muhua stood up.
Pomegranate came back to her senses and wanted to dissuade her, "Miss, let's forget it. That man soaked in the pond all night, and it was... very scary!"
Xu Muhua kept walking, "It's okay. If you're scared, just stay in the yard. You're in the house anyway, so you don't have to follow me."
So the pomegranate is gone again.
She is the lady's personal maid, how can she not follow the lady?
Pomegranate hurriedly followed him, and Wuer couldn't help but followed him out of curiosity.
Xu's mother was standing on the edge of the pond, frowning.
A servant in the mansion drowned!
This is something that has never happened before!
Seeing Xu Muhua coming over, she said angrily: "What are you doing here?"
Xu Muhua came over and held her hand, "Mom, I heard that a servant drowned in the pond. I am the eldest sister in the family. Something happened at home. How could I not come over and take a look? How did the person die? "
Xu's mother shook her head, "I don't know yet, but someone has already sent someone to invite the widow."
Although he is a servant of the mansion, he cannot just die so casually, he must find out.
And this is not a son of the family in the mansion, but a living servant.
Wu Zuo was quickly invited over and the body was examined in front of everyone, and the conclusion was quickly drawn.
"Madam, this person died of drowning, as if he was drunk. It is possible that he accidentally fell into the pond while drunk, and because his actions were affected by his drunkenness, he was unable to save himself, leading to his eventual death by drowning." Wu Zuo said.
After speaking, he paused again, seeming a little hesitant about what to say next.
Xu Muhua noticed it and asked, "Is there anything else special? It doesn't hurt to just tell me."
Wu Zuo glanced at her and whispered: "Judging from the last expression on his face, this person seemed to have been greatly frightened before he died..."
It looked like it was scared to death, but he had just tested it, and it matched the characteristics of drowning in water.
Strange, strange!
"You mean he was scared to death?" Xu Muhua asked.
Wu Zuo quickly raised his eyes and glanced at her again, whether it was yes or not, nor was he denying it.
Xu Muhua understood his psychological activities after thinking about it.
When Xu's mother wasn't paying attention, she whispered: "Please check carefully again to confirm the cause of his death."
Miss Xu is a popular figure in the capital recently, and now that she has said this, Wu Zuo can only obey.
Xu's mother didn't think much about it, she just thought that the servant really drank too much at night, accidentally slipped and fell into the water, and killed herself.
She asked the housekeeper to check on this person's situation. Since it was a living contract and the person died in Chengguo Duke's Mansion, compensation should still be paid, even if he was seeking death himself.
This was really not a good thing. Xu's mother hurriedly asked Xu Muhua to go back quickly so as not to be exposed to bad luck.
Xu Muhua just left with his front foot, and Xu Jinyu also came with his back foot.
Xu's mother said helplessly: "What's going on between you and Mu Hua? The other girls' families couldn't even run away when they heard about this kind of thing. It's better for you to catch up one by one."
"Eldest sister has been here?" Xu Jinyu subconsciously searched for Xu Muhua.
"Stop looking, she just went back! You should go back too, don't stay here anymore."
Xu Jinyu didn't want to come over either, but with such a big commotion, it seemed strange that she didn't come over.
She asked Wu Zuo if he had found anything, and Xu's mother told the truth. Xu Jinyu nodded before going back obediently.
As soon as Xu Muhua returned to the courtyard, the uncle came out and said, "The servant didn't slip and fall into the water last night."
"Did you see it?" Xu Muhua was a little surprised.
She was about to call the nocturnal animals and ask them if they saw anything last night.
"That's right! That man did drink last night, but not much. I saw that he was still walking steadily, and it didn't look like he had drunk too much. Then he stopped when he passed the pond. When I came down, I seemed to want to wash my hands."
"I saw him squatting down on the steps, and while he was washing, he suddenly fell into the water, as if someone pushed him from behind."
Xu Muhua frowned when he heard this.
She believed that the uncle was not lying, that is to say, the servant's death was abnormal.
Somehow, she thought of Xu Jinyu.
Why would Xu Jinyu just kill a servant?
If it is a maid who accidentally stumbles upon her secret, and it makes sense like the maid who was kicked out, she will silence her.But this was a male servant, and he couldn't enter her yard, so he couldn't discover her secrets. So what reason did she have to kill?
"Uncle, don't go to Qinghe Garden recently. It's not safe there." Xu Muhua warned.
"Is something wrong?"
Xu Muhua whispered: "Xu Jinyu has a problem. She was the one who caused that female ghost. She wanted to kill me. It was her fault that I fell from the attic before. But now I have no evidence. She is my parents' biological child. flesh and blood."
Unless she comes up with substantial evidence, her true identity will not be revealed and she will be alerted.
Well, if Xu Jinyu really hides it so deeply, then she might start to suspect something.
Now the competition is who is more patient.Whoever can't help it first will be exposed first.
She should have tidied up the room in Xu Jinyu's yard.There can't be any evidence left.
In all these years, she has never shown any signs of weakness, which shows that she is usually very cautious.
