92, analysis

After Hu Sizhu led two servants into the wing room and lit up the oil lamp, the eldest wife slowly walked in with Madam Ruan, and Ishihara also followed into the wing room.

Because everyone else was hugging the door of the wing room, Shi Jinrou could not see the situation in the wing room at all, and she couldn't hear the sound of speaking inside. Shi Jinrou simply left the window and walked to Xiao Lian.

Xiao Lian has basically returned to normal. When she saw Shi Jinrou coming, she wanted to stand up and let Shi Jinrou sit. After all, she was a maid. She was frightened just now and could ignore the rules, but now...

Shi Jinrou pressed her shoulder and signaled that she didn't have to get up. Then, Shi Jinrou sat on the other side of the table and asked:

"Xiao Lian, tell me what happened just now?"

"Just just now, I entered the wing room and called Sister Rumei, but I didn't agree. The room was dark. I found a fire pie and wanted to light the oil lamp. But when I was on the fire pie, I saw Sister Rumei bleeding from her mouth and nose, lying on the ground beside the bed. It was so scary, so I shouted."

Shi Jinrou nodded, shook Xiaolian's hand again, and continued to ask: "Are you sure Rumei is dead?"

"I was afraid at the time and didn't dare to check carefully. I was not sure if Sister Rumei was dead."

Shi Jinrou frowned and thoughtful, speechless for a moment.

After a while, the yard suddenly became noisy again.

Hu Sizhu directed a few servants to come out of the wing room with a corpse wrapped in bed sheets, and then carried it out of the yard. Then the eldest wife, Madam Ruan, Shiyuanhai and Ding Zhong also walked out of the wing room.

The eldest wife ordered a few mothers to say, "You guys clean the house and return the food box to the kitchen. Also, no one will leave the house until dawn. Let's discuss it when the matter is found tomorrow. Second brother-in-law, do you think this is good?"

Ishihara Hai stepped forward and said, "The house does not need to be cleaned for the time being, and the things in the house do not need to be moved, Ding Zhong!"

Ding Zhong immediately replied: "Here!"

Ishihara Hai ordered: "You will sleep next door tonight and look at this wing room. Before the matter is clear, no one is allowed to enter this house again. After all, this is my Xizhu Garden!"

"Yes!" Ding Zhong responded.

The eldest wife said, "Xizhuyuan is also from the Dong Mansion! Second brother-in-law, I have already told you that Rumei is just a maid. She will not alarm the master if she dies suddenly due to sudden illness, and there is no need to let the official send an investigation. The Dong Mansion will not pursue this matter again. What else do you want?"

"Madam, I promised you to carry Rumei's body away, and I have made concessions. But I can't move anything in the room unless Rou'er and I leave the Dong Mansion safely! I understand enough, right? Even if the master comes, I will still say this!" Ishihara Hai said firmly and unquestionable.

The eldest lady looked at Ishihara, then looked at the burly Ding Zhong, snorted in her nose, and said:

"Then whatever you want! But my second brother-in-law doesn't do anything wrong. It's really a mess. I'm afraid you can't stop it!"

Then, the eldest wife said to the maids and mothers around her: "Let's go!"

After saying that, the eldest lady led all the maids and mothers away. In an instant, the yard became dark again. Ding Zhong stepped forward and said to Ishihara:

"I'll go lock the yard door!"

Without waiting for Shihara Hai to agree, Ding Zhong left the cross-age courtyard.

Ishihara Hai walked to Shi Jinrou's room and opened before knocking on the door. Shi Jinrou was waiting for this moment.

Ishihara Hai stepped into the house and said to Shi Jinrou: "Xiaorou, we will leave Dong's mansion tomorrow. It is too dangerous to stay here!"

Shi Jinrou asked, "Why did Dad say this?"

Ishihara Kaido: "Rumei was poisoned to death!"

Shi Jinrou and Xiao Lian said "ah" almost at the same time, and Ishihara Hai continued to say to Shi Jinrou:

"I suspect it was done by the eldest wife and the others, and I suspect even more that they wanted to poison you."

Shi Jinrou couldn't help but feel nervous. Before she could speak, Ding Zhong said softly outside the door:

"Master, this is the lady's boudoir. It's so inconvenient. Why not move to your room and talk."

Ishihara nodded and said yes, so Ishi Jinrou and Xiao Ren followed Ishihara Hae out of the house.

Shi Jinrou proposed to go to the wing room again, but Ishihara Hai did not object. Xiao Lian was afraid, and Shi Jinrou did not force her. She left Ding Zhong to take care of Xiao Lian, and went to the wing room with her father for a closer look.

When she arrived at Ishihara Hai's room, Ishihara Hai's father and daughter and Ding Zhong both sat there, but Xiao Lian said she refused to sit no matter what. She stood stubbornly behind Shi Jinrou.

Shi Jinrou spoke and asked Ding Zhong: "Ding Bo, was Rumei poisoned to death?"

Ding Zhong nodded affirmatively.

Shi Jinrou thought for a while and asked again: "Ding Bo, except for the four of us, is there anyone here in Xizhuyuan in the afternoon? Especially after Rumei came back, did she see other people coming to Xizhuyuan?"

"Except for Madam Ruan who came once in the afternoon, no one came all afternoon!" Ding Zhong was still saying it for sure.

Shi Jinrou smiled knowingly and was grateful because she was very sure that Ding Zhong had been secretly protecting herself, and perhaps her father.

Shi Jinrou turned her head to look at her father, then looked back at Xiao Lian, and both of them nodded with certainty.

"That's what happened to Rumei's supper!" Shi Jinrou speculated.

Ding Zhong replied: "It should be. I noticed when I entered the house. Although the food was basically not moved, there was an empty bowl on the table. Madam Ruan wanted to take it while it was unprepared, but the master stopped him."

Ishihara nodded and said, "Well, before entering the house, Ding Zhong had already reminded me that Rumei was poisoned, so after entering the house, I paid special attention to the food."

Shi Jinrou also noticed the empty bowl when she entered the wing room to check.

Shi Jinjudo: "Things should be clear. There must be something wrong with that bowl of food. Moreover, no matter what the bowl of food is, it should have been Xiaorou, not what Rumei should have eaten."

Ishihara Hai frowned slightly: "How can I see it?"

Shi Jinjudo: "Madam Ruan's words 'How could it be Rumei'."

Ishihara Hai and Ding Zhong looked at each other clearly, only Xiao Lian was a little confused and confused.

Shi Jinrou said to Ishihara again: "It's all bad for my daughter, it's too careless! I thought the eldest wife and the eldest master would not violate the law because of the dowry. 15,000 taels would not hurt them, not to mention that they originally belonged to Xiaorou, but I didn't expect, ah..."
