rebirth after cruelty

Feng Ruqing entered the inner room.

On the bed lay Miss Shao Er who had already died.

At this time, someone from outside came.

It was the coroner of the Prudential Division.

He walked up to Feng Ruqing and saluted respectfully.

Feng Ruqing said in a low voice, "Let's do the autopsy first."

"Yes." The man replied and stepped forward.

Feng Ruqing wandered back and forth here.

He raised his head and glanced at the white silk, then lowered his head to look at the pedals lying on the side, and then looked at the soft couch beside him.

The short table on the soft couch was moved.

A corner was exposed, she leaned closer, took a look, and found the scarlet ink.

She twirled it, and smelled it closely, and there was a familiar smell.

Feng Ruqing opened the book that Miss Shao Er had read again.

Page after page, they are all flat, obviously she cherishes them very much.

Feng Ruqing raised her eyes and saw that the books listed were arranged one by one from far to near, from deep to superficial, from official history to unofficial history.

Unexpectedly, she read so many books.

Even Feng Ruqing felt inferior to herself.

After the coroner's examination, he walked in front of Feng Ruqing.

Feng Ruqing read the autopsy record, and said immediately, "There are no pinch marks?"

"Exactly," said the coroner. "It is true that he died by hanging himself."

"Is there anything strange in her body, or on her body?" Feng Ruqing asked again.

"No." The coroner replied, "It's just a little strange. Her body spots should be a quarter of an hour earlier than the judged time of death."

"A quarter of an hour earlier?" Feng Ruqing looked at Mingyue at the side.

Mingyue looked at her, "Yesterday, the servant did not keep watch."

"You didn't keep watch?" Feng Ruqing stared at her.

"Yes." Mingyue replied, "Second Miss said that she wants to be quiet by herself, so she doesn't need to keep watch."

"I see." Feng Ruqing replied flatly.

The coroner looked at her and said, "That's all the humble can do."

"Thank you." Feng Ruqing nodded slightly.

The coroner left first.

Feng Ruqing walked to the side of the bed and looked at the second Miss Shao, Shao Xiushuang, who seemed to be sleeping.

Her face is beautiful and gentle, with a unique petiteness, even though she is dead, she still has a bookish air.

There is poetry and calligraphy in the abdomen, which is probably the case.

Feng Ruqing lamented that such a talented woman died like this.

Mingyue knelt in front of her instead, "Please ask Miss Feng to give justice to Second Miss."

Why is it a quarter of an hour earlier?
Feng Ruqing looked up at the white silk again, and then said, "Is this white silk from inside the house?"

"This white silk?" Mingyue raised her head and noticed, "It was originally intended to be made into obscene clothes for the second lady."

Feng Ru listened, and said again, "Then where was this white silk originally placed?"

"It's always been in the box." Mingyue replied, "The key to the box is also on the slave."

"Go open it and have a look." Feng Ruqing said.

"Yes." Mingyue took the key and went to open the box.

When Mingyue saw that the white silk was still inside, she was stunned.

Feng Ruqing looked at her and said, "Haven't you moved?"

"Then this white silk?" Mingyue burst into tears.

Feng Ruqing pondered for a moment, "Who else has this white silk besides Second Miss?"

"This is specially given to the second lady by the old lady, and there are only two." Mingyue said bluntly, "The other one is at the eldest lady's."

"Langfu, follow me to Shao Lishuang's yard and look at the white silk over there." Feng Ruqing said.

"Yes." Lang Fu replied with lowered eyes.

Lang Ying looked at her, "Master, in this case, this white silk is not from Miss Shao Er's own room."

"Are you sure there are only two horses?" Feng Ruqing asked repeatedly.

"Yes." Mingyue affirmed.

Feng Ruqing nodded lightly, and then said, "Raise this pedal."

"Yes." Langying replied.

Feng Ruqing stepped on the pedals, raised her head and approached Bai Ling.

She glanced down and saw a scratch on the pedal.

"There is blood." Feng Ruqing said flatly.

"Why is there blood on the pedals?" Lang Ying half-kneeled, looking at the scratches and a piece of rag.

Feng Ruqing looked up at Mingyue, "Do you recognize this rag?"

"Let's take a look." Mingyue looked carefully, and then said, "This kind of material is only used by the maids in the house. Looking at the patterns and stitches, it looks like it is used for the bells in the Da Furen's yard."

"Ma'am?" Feng Ru pursed her lips, "It's really strange."

Mingyue looked at her, "Miss Feng, Da Furen has always disliked Miss Er, she was very indifferent to Miss Er."

"Why don't you like it?" Feng Ruqing asked.

"The second young lady was not born to the eldest lady, but to a concubine, and the concubine died of dystocia after giving birth to the second young lady. The old lady fell in love with the second young lady immediately, so she forcibly adopted the second young lady to the eldest daughter. Madam's name." Mingyue replied.

"Then aunt?" Feng Ruqing said again.

"Second Miss looks a lot like her biological mother, and this talent is even more remarkable. The eldest lady felt that the second lady stole the limelight from the eldest lady, so she punished the second lady secretly." Mingyue replied, " Once, the old lady bumped into her and reprimanded the eldest lady, and the eldest lady restrained herself a bit."

Mingyue cried and said, "But the eldest lady is different. She...after that incident, she has become more and more severe towards the second lady. At first, she was just mocking and sarcastic, but later, she started to grab the second lady's things. "

"What happened later?" Feng Ruqing asked.

"Second Miss here doesn't have many valuable things, most of them were snatched away by the Eldest Miss." Mingyue said with red eyes.

"Bring me that suicide note." Feng Ruqing said.

"Yes." Mingyue replied with downcast eyes.

She turned around and handed the collected suicide note to Feng Ruqing.

After Feng Ruqing read it, it seemed that the handwriting was indeed Shao Xiushuang's, but there was hopelessness in life between the lines, which seemed a little strange.

Then she took the suicide note horizontally, and put it on the unfinished book that she had put on the short table before her death.

After she corresponded word by word, she discovered the clue.

Feng Ruqing raised her eyebrows, "She really is a strange woman."

"Master, there is no white silk in Miss Shao's yard." Lang Fu came back.

"No?" Feng Ruqing pondered for a moment.

She remembered that Li Hai had mentioned, be careful of Mrs. Shao, it seems that this is the opposite.

She should go see this Mrs. Shao.

Feng Ruqing looked at Mingyue, "Take me to meet the old lady."

"Yes." Mingyue replied.

Feng Ruqing went directly to Mrs. Shao's.

Mrs. Shao knew she would come and was already waiting.

"The younger generation has seen the old lady." Feng Ru said with admiration.

"Hey." Mrs. Shao looked at her and said, "Have you checked it out?"

Seeing her, Feng Ruqing was not polite at all, so she said, "I have some eyebrows, so I came here to ask the old lady to clarify my doubts."

"Okay." Mrs. Shao agreed happily.

Feng Ruqing brought the white silk over, "Does the old lady remember this white silk?"

"I remember." Old Madam Shao's nanny replied, "This is snow satin, which was given by Concubine Li in the palace. There are two of them in total, and old lady gave the snow satin to the eldest lady and One for each of the second ladies."

"Second Miss hanged herself with this snow satin." Feng Ruqing said bluntly.

Mammy was taken aback, but a little surprised.

Mrs. Shao looked at her, "Continue."

"This junior asked Mingyue, this snow satin has been kept in a box, Mingyue has also opened it, and the snow satin inside is intact." Feng Ruqing said again, "The junior ordered someone to go to Miss Shao's, and not found."

"A joke." Mrs. Shao said in a deep voice, "Li Shuang died first."

"Yes." Feng Ruqing said again, "The junior also found a scratch on the pedal that the second young lady was stepping on. There was blood on the scratch, and there was also a piece of rag. Mingyue recognized the rag. It is used by the bell in front of Da Furen."

"So, Xiushuang's death was not a suicide?" Mrs. Shao said in a low voice.

"The old lady loves the second young lady the most, how could she have the idea of ​​committing suicide?" Feng Ruqing asked.

Mrs. Shao said indifferently, "I don't know what you mean by that?"

"The junior doesn't understand either." Feng Ruqing said bluntly.

"Hey." Mrs. Shao sighed heavily, "Miss Feng only found these?"

"Yes." Feng Ruqing did not tell the will later.

She could see that Mrs. Shao's eyes flashed with disappointment, and she was also vaguely proud.

But she didn't know why Mrs. Shao had such an expression.

However, after Feng Ruqing left Mrs. Shao, she went back to Shao Xiushuang's yard by herself.

Mingyue lowered her head, "Why is the old lady so indifferent to the death of the second lady?"

"Indifferent?" Feng Ruqing looked at her.

"Originally, after the old lady found out that the second young lady had committed suicide, she fainted and went to the palace after waking up." Mingyue said, "However, the old lady loved the second young lady so much before, how could it be possible that she didn't feel any sadness at all? "

Feng Ru listened, and on the contrary affirmed the answer in her heart even more.

She turned her eyes and whispered something to Lang Fu.

Lang Fu nodded in response, and left first.

Feng Ruqing felt that this matter must not be sloppy.

About an hour later.

Jun Haomo came.

She walked in front of Jun Haomo, "The courtier has met His Highness the Second Highness."

"Have you found the murderer?" Jun Haomo never expected that Feng Ruqing would find the murderer so quickly.

Feng Ruqing nodded, "I found it."

Jun Haomo immediately asked, "Where is Shao Lishuang's?"

"I found it too." Feng Ruqing replied.

"I didn't expect Miss Feng to have such abilities." Jun Haomo's face was filled with surprise, but also a hint of complacency.

Feng Ruqing looked at him, "It's not due to the minister's daughter, but to Miss Shao Er."

"Her?" Jun Haomo was taken aback, and looked at her puzzled.

"Exactly." Feng Ruqing nodded, "But you want to go to Jingzhao Mansion?"

"Jing Zhaoyin will come over later." Jun Haomo became curious, and it seemed that there was another secret behind this.

"The courtier will wait here." Feng Ruqing said again.

"En." Jun Haomo replied lightly.
