Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 178 Human Sacrifice (Part [-])
The servant who had been waiting behind her lifted the bowls and chopsticks in front of her, bent over and asked, "Young lady didn't eat much, is it not to your liking?"

Ruoshui waved his hands again and again, saying no, saying that he eats less on weekdays, Aunt Chaoyun knows.He also said that he went to Ye's house in the morning and had some snacks.

When he raised his hand, there was a mark like a sharp fingernail on his wrist, which was bruised and purple across the snow-white wrist, which was a bit shocking.

Ji Wuyan looked away nonchalantly, only astonished, "I heard that you are the guest of Ye's family now, but Mrs. Ye likes to listen to music early in the morning?"

"That's not it...I left something there yesterday, and I went to pick it up this morning. I met Mrs. Ye for dinner..." He said with a smile, "Mrs. I used some..."

Shen Luoxin, who had been burying her head in making wontons, raised her head from the bowl when she heard the words, "So, the marriage of the Ye and Yang families won't hurt Mrs. Ye too much!"

These words were a bit abrupt and rude, Ruoshui smiled sarcastically, and perfunctorily said, "Life is always going to go... Besides, the sage has something to say, how can you know it's not a blessing..."

"Yeah. That's right." Shen Luoxin nodded, absent-mindedly, and it could be seen that she was really serious about eating wontons, and with her usual almost fierce speed, she ate and ate. He can still speak in a cohesive manner, "I heard that Mrs. Ye was sick for a while last year, and it was cured by the celestial master... Speaking of which, the celestial master has some tricks."

Ruoshui didn't answer.

Ji Wuyan raised her head and glanced at Shen Luoxin, thinking that this girl was doing a lot of work today, and she didn't know what she wanted to ask, and her tone was very eccentric.

Ji Feng held the bowl that was as big as his face, and corrected it earnestly, "Sister Shen, the teacher said that methods are usually bad words, you should use some skills to praise others..."

Although this child is young, his intuition is keen, but he doesn't understand human feelings after all.Ji Wuyan rubbed his head, and didn't stop him from interjecting, but coaxed him, "It's delicious, if you don't concentrate on eating, you won't grow taller."

"Oh……"

Shen Luoxin turned the empty bowl and handed it to the nanny behind her, "Mommy, do you have any more, three or five more..." As she spoke, she propped her chin and lazily looked at Jifeng, teasing him, "You also say Now, 'methods' are not used to praise people, so how do you know... you, Sister Shen, and I are praising the Heavenly Master?" As he spoke, he gritted his teeth secretly, thinking about what he had found, and felt more and more This Tianshi is probably a psychopath, perhaps, a psychopath who time travels.

An Anubis... medical pervert.

……

After lunch, Ziqiu left with Jifeng, and Chaoyun was also called away by Fengchenju's maid, who said that Master Song from the yamen had come.In the past two days, Song Yuanqing went to Fengchenju almost every day, almost earnestly persuading Chaoyun to open the door for business - those ministers who had a soft nail at the door of Ji's house all made their ideas on Fengchenju, but Fengchenju couldn't do it. It's business, but I can't see Ji Wuyan even if I want to, so every day, the ministers painstakingly intercede for Fengchenju.

Song Yuanqing is also one of the first two, saying that it's not that he doesn't let people do business, but that he himself said that it's a good business, but the girls who went out from here were involved in a murder case, so they had to close the door and rectify it.

But no one believed it.

Song Yuanqing also had difficulty understanding, so he could only persuade Chaoyun to open the door for business every day, and he must come every day, which was more active than being on duty.

Ruoshui is free this afternoon, saying that he took advantage of the good weather to go out for a walk, and just saved some money recently.Before leaving, he seemed to think of something, turned around and mentioned, "Oh, by the way, what is the name of the maid here before, I saw it at Ye's house two days ago."

"Xianyue?" Ji Wuyan has somewhat forgotten about this character, but now Xinyue in the house is more capable, more lively and confident.

"Yeah." Ruoshui nodded, "Now I'm serving Ms. Ye, she's dressed much more delicately than before, she's probably a second-class maid... she looks pretty high-spirited." She shrank her neck and looked up. It was getting dark, and she didn't know when it was cloudy and windy, so she hurried out.

Ji Wuyan smiled, "I'm also a high-minded person. If not, I wouldn't have worked hard to plan for my future... It's just that the Ye family has changed maids recently?"

"In Ye Wan's yard, Miss Ye's family, everything has changed except for the two big maids who grew up together and a wet nurse. It's probably because those maids said some unpleasant gossip." Shen Luo Xin finished the last sip of soup, touched her stomach and spread it out on the chair, in a rather bold posture, "Rumors spread a lot at first, and this kind of thing is always the woman's fault no matter what, it's obviously Yang Shaofei who got married outside." The bitter fruit of provoking grass is spreading, and it becomes Ye Wanruo's hit with evil... Kefu! Ye Wanru doesn't go out for a while, and she can't hear the outside, so it can't be worth talking about in the yard. Guess Therefore, all of them were sent away and a new batch was directly exchanged."

Ji Wuyan was a little surprised, and raised her eyebrows to look at her, "How do you know so clearly?"

"I found something. I heard that Mrs. Ye also went to Tianshi's for treatment, and she was cured, so I went to inquire about it." Chen Luoxin leaned forward while supporting the table, "Guess what? What did you find?"

Mysterious look.

Gu Cuo was not interested, so he got up and washed his hands, handed Ji Wuyan a clean handkerchief, got up and left.

According to what Shen Luoxin said, although the fatal injuries in the previous murder cases were different, they were all obvious, so she didn't care about some inconspicuous details.After all, according to the government, the body was unclaimed. It was obviously a refugee and beggar outside the city. It was not uncommon for people to fight and get injured on weekdays.Shen Luoxin had indeed seen new and old injuries of different degrees and different periods in them.

Although I always felt that there was something weird, but I couldn't tell for a while, and after a few days of shelving, I forgot about it.

It wasn't until a few days ago in the library that I saw the content that almost subverted the three views... But it was also enlightened in an instant, and I realized where I was feeling weak at that time...

"Those corpses have countless old and new injuries, but there is always a wound, which must be on the ankle, wrist, or heart... If my guess is correct, these people are not just refugees and beggars."

Shen Luoxin's eyes were serious, and there was no emotion in her eyes, she looked directly at each other, "Perhaps, they have a more appropriate name, called...human sacrifice."
