Meng Wanqiu didn't know who framed her for spreading rumors about Meng Wanzhou, but she had to thank the person who spread the rumors.

Because they all believed that she had not done this, the Queen Mother and the Empress rewarded her with many things to comfort her, and Mrs. Meng and Lord Meng also treated her much better.

Mrs. Meng even mentioned her marriage and began to choose people. Whether they were small officials or concubines of high-ranking families, they all asked to be the official wife.

Meng Wanqiu was very happy, and the relationship with Mrs. Meng and Meng Wanzhou had eased a lot.

On this day, the whole family was sitting around eating together. Although no one spoke, the atmosphere was harmonious.

Suddenly, there was a cry outside.

The old lady's eyes turned cold and she asked, "What's going on outside?"

The little maid hurriedly went out to inquire, but she came back with a bad expression after a while, "Go back to the old lady, sir, I am from the family temple, and said that Aunt Liu... is dead."

"What?" Several people exclaimed at the same time.

Meng Wanqiu knocked over the soup bowl and said in disbelief: "No, when I went to see her yesterday, she was fine!"

Mr. Meng said in a deep voice: "Ask someone to come in and answer!"

Soon, a little nun wearing robes knelt and crawled in. She was Aunt Liu's personal maid.

The little nun cried while crawling: "Master, Miss, Aunt Liu is gone!"

The young lady she spoke of was, of course, Aunt Liu's biological daughter Meng Wanqiu.

Master Meng asked with a gloomy face: "Tell me carefully, what is going on?"

After all, Aunt Liu was also his concubine and gave birth to a daughter for him. He was deeply moved.

The little nun cried: "This morning, my servant went to help Aunt Liu get up, but she didn't respond no matter what. When she stepped forward, she saw that Aunt Liu's face was blue and she had no breath! She immediately told the hostess, who checked,

I think it's poisoning. But if you want to report it to the official, please let me know."

The nunnery is the temple of the Meng family, and Aunt Liu is Lord Meng's aunt. They dare not report to the official without permission.

Mrs. Meng frowned. Yesterday, Meng Wanqiu went to see Aunt Liu, but she brought a lot of things, including tea leaves, bird's nests, snacks, etc. that she rewarded.

Aunt Liu died this morning. Is it a coincidence? Or is there some conspiracy?

Don't blame Mrs. Meng for overthinking it. Now that Meng Wanzhou is the quasi-second princess, she is always faced with conspiracies and intrigues.

Meng Wanzhou gently patted the back of Mrs. Meng's hand and said, "Mom, it's better to go to the family temple and make plans before making any plans."

Mrs. Meng looked at Mr. Meng and asked, "Master, what do you think?"

Mr. Meng thought for a while and said, "Take someone to have a look, check it out, and sort out the aftermath. Such a murder in the family temple is a family scandal and must not be publicized."

Meng Wanqiu's legs went weak and she wanted to lie down on the ground and cry.

However, the maid next to her supported her arm. These days, they have been taught by the nanny, and they have made progress as both master and servant.

Meng Wanqiu bit her lower lip and held it back.

This was her father, so cold-hearted, so indifferent to her aunt's life for the sake of the so-called reputation of the Meng family.

Moreover, the woman who had been with him for more than ten years died inexplicably, and he did not even go there, even to see her for the last time.

Since Aunt Liu was imprisoned in the family temple, Meng Wanqiu has also grown a lot. She was shocked by the death of her biological mother and completely lost her biological mother, and she no longer had the confidence to act recklessly.

Following Mrs. Meng silently, Meng Wanzhou and the housekeeper rushed to the family temple, opened the door of the Buddhist temple where Aunt Liu lived, and saw Aunt Liu lying on the bed with her face covered with a white cloth. She slowly knelt down.

"Aunt! Aunt!" Meng Wanqiu cried heartbrokenly and walked to Aunt Liu's bed.

With trembling hands, she lifted up the white cloth on Aunt Liu's face. She even had a hope that her aunt was joking with her. If she lifted the white cloth, she would smile at her.

However, under the white cloth was my aunt's black and blue face, which looked a bit ferocious, which showed that her death was not peaceful.

"Aunt! Wow..." Meng Wanqiu threw herself on Aunt Liu's body and cried, "Why are you dead? If you die, I won't have a biological mother! Ah..."

Meng Wanzhou looked at it, her eyes were red with emotion, and she wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

Mrs. Meng frowned tightly and asked the abbot of the family temple: "Are there any injuries on her body? Did a suspect enter her room at night?"

The presiding master said: "We did not dare to touch the body of donor Liu. If we reported it to the official, it would affect the investigation. There are few people in the nunnery, and no suspicious people were found."

Mrs. Meng understood and asked her mother-in-law to check whether there were any injuries on Aunt Liu's body. After the inspection, she put on the shroud.

Then ask the housekeeper to take the doctor to check what Aunt Liu has eaten and used, and ask the guards to check whether there are any signs of outsiders coming in around the family temple.

Meng Wanzhou accompanied Meng Wanqiu and watched her mother-in-law inspect Aunt Liu's body, scrub her body, and change into clothes.

There were no wounds on the body, and black blood flowed from the deceased's seven orifices. The poisonous substance must have been entered through the mouth.

Meng Wanqiu calmed down and looked at everything around him like a little ferocious beast that had lost its mother.

Everyone looks suspicious, everyone looks like a murderer.

Her eyes fell on a snack box, which was left when she came to visit Aunt Liu yesterday afternoon. It contained snacks, which were made by the cook in the house, and were Aunt Liu's favorite.

She asked the little nun who was serving Aunt Liu: "Last night, Aunt Liu had dinner, what else did she eat?"

The little nun sobbed and said: "Master dislikes the taste of the food in the nunnery. He didn't eat a few bites of dinner and ate the snacks you brought to satisfy his hunger."

Meng Wanqiu's eyes gleamed slightly, saying that it was very possible that Aunt Liu had eaten those snacks.

Did someone in the house poison my aunt?

who is it?

Except for Mrs. Meng, probably no one in the house hates Aunt Liu.

After hearing this, Meng Wanzhou opened the food box, only some snack dregs were left in it, and said, "Go back and check on the people in the kitchen."

Meng Wanqiu pursed her lips, clenched her fists, and nodded.

Her mind was confused and buzzing now, and she knew she would be unable to control her temper.

In order to prevent herself from causing trouble on the spot, she excused herself to go to the bride's room and walked out.

When I reached a corner, a nun suddenly rushed out from the thorn, bumped into her, and hurried away.

Meng Wanqiu suddenly lost her mother and was in a daze. When she realized someone bumped into her, she felt that the person had stuffed something into her hand.

Suddenly he came back to his senses and wanted to see what the man looked like. When he turned around, he only found a figure wearing a robe disappearing by the bamboo forest.

"Hey!" The personal maid glared at the back and cursed: "It's really unruly. A monk can be so reckless!"

Meng Wanqiu squeezed the thing in her hand and subconsciously felt that she shouldn't make any noise, so she said, "Let's go."

He walked quickly to the guest's room, asked his personal attendant to wait at the door, and walked in.

After closing the door to Gong's room, I couldn't wait to look at the things in my hands.

It's a piece of paper, a ball of paper.

Meng Wanqiu's nervous hands were shaking, and she opened the paper ball tremblingly...
