Qin Youran hadn't slept well that night. Early the next morning, while washing herself, someone ran in panickedly outside.
"Little... Miss, it's not good."
The person who reported the letter was a woman, who belonged to the outer courtyard and did not have the right to come to Qin Youran's courtyard.
"What's the matter?" Bai Ru whispered from the side: "Say well, I was so panicked early in the morning."
The mother-in-law swallowed her saliva and said, "Miss Hui, Bai Xiang... is dead."
"What?" Bai Ru was taken aback, looked back at Qin Youran, and said to her wife: "Didn't you tell me to take care of it?"
The old woman lowered her head and whispered: "It was the old slave who took care of the disadvantage. She was fine when she delivered her food last night. At night... the old slave slept too hard, so I don't know what's going on..."
Qin Youran waved her hand, interrupting her, "Where are people now?"
"Still in the wood room." The woman hurriedly replied.
"What should I do if the maid in the house is dead?" Qin Youran asked.
The mother-in-law replied: "It is to report to the master, and then take the rolling mat and bury it. For some positions, a thin coffin will be played, or the family member will notify the family member to collect it."
Qin Youran paused with his finger, "That's it?"
The woman hesitated for a while and nodded, "...Yes. Chen Fu... Aunt Chen always did this when she was in charge. The old slave remembered it correctly, right, Miss Bai Ru."
Qin Youran turned to look at Bai Ru, who nodded, "Yes, miss, it has always been."
Qin Youran frowned, "Does Bai Xiang have a family?"
Bai Ru took the towel in her hand, "No, Bai Xiang seems to have come to the mansion when she was a teenager. She was brought by her maid, saying she was an orphan."
Qin Youran didn't speak for a while, and the woman-in-law ran there and didn't know what to do, but seeing Qin Youran's expression, she didn't dare to ask aloud.
Qin Youran really did not expect that in this era, a human life is so cheap that there is not even a funeral. Although those can't help much, the dead are big, especially in this red and white matter. In the ancient times, the people who paid attention to the big deal, treated the death of a person so hastily.
Yes, she should be a girl, just a girl
ring.
Qin Youran's heart was a little congested, and she was silent for a while and said: "Okay, this lady knows, then give her a coffin, it's not useless that she has been with this lady for so long, besides, now... Qin Yinyin The wedding date is coming soon, so don’t go to Aunt Chen to talk about it. Let people see auspicious times. Take the coffin out of the corner door today."
"Yes. The old slave knows," the old lady said, "The eldest lady is really compassionate. It is a blessing for Bai Xiang to get a coffin."
"Blessing?" Qin Youran sneered, "Do you want such a blessing?"
The mother-in-law's face changed, and she dared not say anything else, and bowed back.
Bai Ru said in a low voice, "Miss, how can Bai Xiang die if he is so good? The slave and maid will check it out."
"Where is Le Qiao?" Qin Youran asked.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Bai Ru didn't dare to ask any more, and replied, "Le Qiao went to see Bai Ting early in the morning."
Qin Youran looked at herself in the mirror, gently stroked the red mark with her finger, and said slowly: "Go and see Bai Xiang, but pay attention to it in the dark. See if anyone else is going to give it away."
"Yes." Bai Ru immediately understood and retreated.
After a while, Le Qiao walked in and politely said, "Miss, Bai Ting, please."
"Oh?" Qin Youran raised her eyebrows slightly, "Is she healthy?"
Le Qiao nodded and said, "It's okay, she said, I want to see Miss."
"Okay," Qin Youran put down the mirror, "let her come in."
Le Qiao brought Bai Ting in. As soon as Bai Ting entered the inner room, she knelt down, "Miss, the slave and maid greet the lady."
Qin Youran said indifferently: "Is your body well? Or if it's not well, you don't have to come here to please peace."
Bai Ting still can't afford to live, she squatted her head and said, "Miss, the slave and maid's body is a small matter, but... the slave and maid wants to ask the lady for something."
Qin Youran looked at her with a slightly raised tone, "Oh? What's more important than your body, let's listen."
Bai Ting straightened up with tears in her eyes, and said, "Miss, the servant girl didn't sleep all night last night. After thinking about it for a long time, I felt... the servant girl was too reckless. I was also angry for a while and gave Bai Xiang to... The servant girl regretted it very much. I want to plead for Baixiang, anyway, we are all
Sisters for so many years, she usually treats me well, this time it must have been covered by lard, so it was because of Guan Sun... Miss, please look at the slave and maid’s face, give Bai Xiang a chance. "
Qin Youran didn't speak for a while, and slowly stood up and walked to Bai Ting's approach. She leaned over slightly and looked at Bai Ting more closely.
Bai Ting looked at her eyes, she felt a little hairy in her heart, her breathing was a little short, and sweat was oozing out of her palms.
Qin Youran suddenly smiled slightly and said in a low voice, "It's because of your face? Bai Ting, how much face do you think you have?"
Bai Ting was taken aback.
Qin Youran turned to look at the delicate incense burner, "Bai Xiang poisoned this lady's incense burner, and wanted to make this lady a fool, a fool, and poisoned the rouge, and wanted to destroy this lady's face. , Bai Ting, how much face can you bear for the sin of slavery to the master?"
"Maid slave..." Bai Ting's face turned white. "Maid slave means..."
Qin Youran smiled sullenly, "Bai Ting, you exposed her in front, and now you come to intercede again, you are also angry, and you are famous. Your strategy of killing two birds with one stone is really good."
Bai Ting hurriedly kowtowed her head and said, "Miss, it's not... The slave and maid did not mean that. The slave was so angry yesterday that she was angry for a while..."
Qin Youran quickly said: "Then you mean, if it weren't for Sun Baishun that you and Bai Xiang were jealous, then even if you knew that Bai Xiang had the intention of harming this young lady, you wouldn't tell her, right?"
Bai Ting suddenly raised her head, opened her mouth, and was speechless. She was a little confused, as if she had fallen into a strange circle. Everything was wrong, and there was no way to explain it.
"Bai Ting," Le Qiao said in a cold voice from the side: "The eldest has always treated you not thinly, have you never done a rough job? This time the incident with Bai Xiang has caused the whole government to know that you are not good at it. , And also drag down the reputation of the eldest lady, you don’t know the situation in the house now, not only do you not say that you are quiet, but you are still entangled in this matter here, where do you put the eldest? We are slaves, it is difficult If you fail, you really want to climb to the head of the master, can't you?"
Bai Ting's face turned pale when she heard these accusations.
