"Yes." The cook replied, "This is how slaves and maids do it in their hometown."

"Did you bring this goat's milk wine back?" Chu Yunjin asked again.

"Yes." The cook nodded.

"Has anyone else seen it? Or asked you to scoop it?" Chu Yunjin looked at her.

"Your maidservant remembered, a little girl smelled it earlier, so she specially came here to serve you a bowl and then left." The cook looked at her.

"What's that little girl's name?" Chu Yunjin asked.

The cook raised her eyes, frowned and said, "It's strange, it's still here just now."

"In Aunt Fifth's yard?" Chu Yunjin asked.

"Yes." The cook nodded.

"Go and call everyone into the courtyard." Chu Yunjin said coldly.

"Yes." Dongyue replied with downcast eyes.

The nanny next to Mrs. Fifth also went out.

After a while, there were girls and women standing in the yard.

The cook looked at it carefully, then shook her head, "Not here."

"Is everything here?" Chu Yunjin asked.

"Xianglan isn't here." Mammy said with a glance.

"Xianglan?" Chu Yunjin whispered, "Where did you go?"

"Yes." Nanny answered with lowered eyes.

Chu Yunjin turned around and entered, walked up to the Fifth Madam and said, "Fifth Aunt, don't be greedy in the future, the goat's milk wine in this almond cake has been tampered with."

"Tricks?" Fifth Madam frowned, "What's going on?"

"I won't know until after investigation." Chu Yunjin said again, "Fortunately, I ate less this time, otherwise... as time goes by, this child will be stillborn."

"I..." Fifth Madam also sighed helplessly.

Then Chu Yunjin went outside again.

The fifth master stared at her, "Look, something almost happened."

"Hmph." Fifth Madam's expression darkened.

The fifth master hurriedly said, "I will keep an eye on it in the future."

"Hey." Fifth Madam frowned, "It's so embarrassing in front of the juniors."

The fifth master was relieved to see that she was fine.

The Fifth Madam did not expect that she was so greedy that she almost harmed the fetus in her womb.

After a while, I saw Mammy rushing back.

"Miss, Lan Xiang has been found."

"Where are people?" Chu Yunjin asked in a low voice.

Behind, I saw two women carrying a dead body.

The cook took a look, "It's her, why did she die?"

"It was found by the lake." Mammy looked at her and said.

"Is this committing suicide out of fear of crime?" Chu Yunmo said.

"It doesn't look like it to me." Chu Yunjin squatted down, inspected her carefully, and opened her mouth, but found no sand, as if she was thrown into the lake after she died.

But why was the body found by the lake?
Chu Yunjin was silent for a while, and then said, "Carry it down."

"Yes."

Chu Yunjin went in again.

"Aunt Wu, Lan Xiang is dead."

"Hey." Fifth Madam said helplessly, "Why did you do this?"

"Now there is no proof of death." Chu Yunjin said bluntly, "Fifth Aunt should be more careful in the future."

"Okay." Fifth Madam nodded slightly.

Only then did Chu Yunjin leave.

Chu Yunmo looked at her, "Big sister, do you really want to stop checking?"

"They're all dead." Chu Yunjin looked at her, "If it doesn't work this time, that person will stop for a while and won't do anything again."

"Who is it?" Chu Yunmo's expression darkened.

"It must be someone who wants to kill Aunt Fifth." Chu Yunjin said.

"It's just hateful." Chu Yunmo clenched her fists.

Chu Yunjin looked at her, "Fifth Sister, I'm just keeping an eye on this matter secretly, and Fifth Aunt still needs to worry more about her daily life in the future."

"En." Chu Yunmo nodded.

Chu Yunjin didn't say much.

After going back, Shao Ziqi and Chu Yunxi also stepped forward to ask worriedly.

"Who would do such a thing?" Shao Ziqi asked puzzled.

"Maybe it's to cover up?" Chu Yunjin said lightly.

"Huh?" Shao Ziqi was puzzled.

Chu Yunjin smiled, "Maybe I'm thinking too much."

She was a little tired today, so she went back to the house first.

Chu Yunmo saw that she was not in high spirits these days, but she didn't know what happened.

Chu Yunxi also noticed it.

Chu Yunjin leaned on the soft bed a little tiredly, and she looked at the scenery outside the window through the window lattice.

Now that it was already dark, Shao Ziqi didn't bother her.

She just watched quietly, and after a long time, she felt sleepy and fell asleep.

In her sleep, she vaguely saw a familiar face from the past, and she walked forward following the sound.

I don't know how long I walked, but I couldn't get close.

"Miss." Lingfu's voice woke her up.

Chu Yunjin opened his eyes, "Huh?"

"Miss, it's already dawn." Ling Fu said cautiously.

Just now she clearly felt the murderous look of the eldest lady when she opened her eyes.

She shrank her head, her back felt cold.

Chu Yunjin rubbed his sore arm before getting up.

"Hey." Chu Yunjin sighed heavily, seeming to frighten Lingfu.

In desperation, she said, "I was dreaming just now."

"My servant is worried that the young lady will catch a cold." Lingfu said cautiously, "Missy, the old lady asked Nanny Qi to come over and send a message, saying that you are awake and let you go over."

"En." Chu Yunjin nodded, then packed up and went to the old lady's yard.

The old lady saw her coming, and saw her look tired, so she said, "What's the matter?"

"Grandmother." Chu Yunjin frowned, "I don't know why, but I can't cheer up these days?"

"Huh?" The old lady looked at her carefully, "But do you want to find a doctor?"

"It would be nice for my granddaughter to go out for a walk more often." Chu Yunjin said hastily.

"Hey." The old lady sighed heavily, "If you are really bored, go."

"Yes." Chu Yunjin nodded in response.

"I originally had something for you to do." Seeing that Chu Yunjin turned to leave, the old lady stopped her.

"What orders does grandma have?" Chu Yunjin asked hastily.

"I also know what happened to the Wu family yesterday, why don't we just let her go back to the Wu family to raise a baby." The old lady looked at her, "It's better than no one is watching here, in case something happens again Something went wrong."

"This..." Chu Yunjin looked at her, "Grandmother, why did you tell your granddaughter this? Just tell Aunt Fifth."

"Her temper..." The old lady sighed, "If you tell her, she can still go. If I tell her, she might not want to."

"Yes." Chu Yunjin did not expect that Aunt Fifth would be so willful with the old lady.

The old lady stared at her and said, "You also just went out to relax, look at you, listless."

"Yes." Chu Yunjin readily agreed.

The old lady shook her head helplessly.

Chu Yunjin went to the Fifth Madam.

Seeing her coming, Fifth Madam smiled and said, "Come to see me so early?"

"Aunt Fifth." Chu Yunjin turned towards her, "Grandmother said that what happened yesterday was too dangerous, and she wants Aunt Fifth to return to the Wu family to raise a baby."

I haven't been in a good state for the past two days, so I will update more later...
