Chapter 5

She responded immediately, and immediately walked towards the maidservants who had been brought to the door together with a nanny in a stern expression.

At the same time, Liang Shengguang's torch-like eyes still swept across everyone's faces slowly, "Dear guests, if you know who has fallen into the water, please tell us, so that we can help us find the murderer and bring him to justice." .”

Not being treated roughly, all the female guests breathed a sigh of relief, and said that if they found out, they would definitely let them know.

Zhou Liang was reprimanded and took back his steps in horror.

"Lord Liang, it's not that I'm overthinking. Isn't there a person here who wears clothes different from the clothes he wore when he first came to the Duke's mansion?"

Fu Yaxuan's words immediately attracted everyone's attention.At the same time, she followed her gaze and looked at Lu Xiaomo who was standing with Yun Jiuan.

Lu Xiaomo's heart tightened, and he hurried forward a few steps and said, "I did change my clothes, and I did fall into the water, but the place where I fell into the water was the fish pond in Nong Yuyuan. It's two yards away from here. I don't even know the deceased, let alone see him. Please ask the girl from the Fu family to clarify the matter before talking about it."

Fu Yaxuan was reprimanded by Lu Xiaomo in public before, but now she felt very happy and smiled a bit sinisterly, "Did I say something just now? It's just that you are different from the clothes you wore when you came here. If Miss Lu can explain it, she will explain it." , if you can’t explain it, you can’t let me explain it for you, right?”

Lu Xiaomo said loudly, "You..."

"Miss Fu, please be careful what you say. What is your intention in beating around the bush like this!"

When Lu Jingxuan saw his sister being bullied, he immediately stepped forward and scolded Fu Yaxuan angrily.

He was so majestic that Fu Yaxuan's heart trembled in fright, she took a step back secretly, with a embarrassed expression, "I... I'm just talking casually..."

"Okay, okay, it's pointless to argue about these things." Mrs. Huo looked at Lu Xiaomo, "I don't know if Miss Lu fell into the water in Nongyu Garden or in Nonghuayuan? Did anyone see her falling into the water in Nongyuyuan? "

Lu Xiaomo was not afraid of evil shadows, "There is Ling Dang, a girl next to me, a little maid from your mansion who threw me into the water, and two servants who passed by Nong Yuyuan. As for the others, I don't really know either."

Nongyuyuan is the backyard, and the servants are not allowed to enter the courtyard. People who pass by can only ask among the maidservants.

Mrs. Huo immediately asked Liang Qingsu to question all the maidservants, but none of them said they saw Lu Xiaomo's master and servant, let alone knocked them into the pool.

Lu Xiaomo sneered, Yun Jiuan's prediction was so accurate.

At that moment, she didn't argue anymore, and said mockingly: "Then if I ask Ling Dang to testify, everyone won't believe me."

Everyone took it for granted.

At this moment, a servant girl suddenly said loudly: "We once saw Miss Yunwu and Miss Lu went to the Nonghuayuan together. At that time, Miss Lu was still wearing a goose-yellow dress."

Sure enough, what should come will always come.

Yun Jiu'an smiled secretly, walked to the middle of the crowd, and said a little cautiously: "I did go to the lotus pond in the garden with sister Lu, and I didn't find anything unusual at that time. Later, Princess Lingxiang asked me for something, and I I left first."

As she spoke, she looked timidly at Li Yan, meaning that she had already spoken according to her orders, so don't trouble her in the future.

Li Yan held the whip handle in his hand, and the corners of his brows and eyes were full of disdain for her humble and cowardly-she had never taken this kind of little concubine seriously, and today she just took advantage of it a little.It would be a waste of her time to ask her to spend any more time on such a small person.

"Lu Xiaomo, what else do you have to say! It's you who killed my son here, and even said that you fell into the water in Nong Yuyuan. How can such a coincidence happen? Pay my son back!"

When Zhou Liangshi heard Yun Jiuan's words, she screamed like a crazy woman and rushed towards Lu Xiaomo, who was kicked far away by Lu Jingxuan, "Before the matter is clarified, let me see who dares to touch my sister!"

In Rongguo's mansion, even the Liang family dared to kick, and everyone was shocked - this Lu Shaoyin was too courageous.

Yun Jiu'an frowned watching Lu Jingxuan's kicking feet.

"Didn't Guanshi Qiu just say that the murderer probably knew Zhou Dakun, so he stabbed him twice at close range. The murderer's body would definitely be splattered with blood. Jing Xuan, if you want to prove Miss Lu's innocence, The only way is for Lingmei to take out the dress she once changed, as long as there is no blood on it, no one dares to say anything more about her."

Liang Ziyuan had no choice but to deal with Zhou Liang in order to prevent the Zhou Liang family from making trouble again.These words are already trying to excuse Lu Xiaomo - as long as there is no blood on the dress, no one can splash the dirty water on her body.

"I don't know where Miss Lu put the changed clothes?" Liang Shengguang asked.

Lu Xiaomo said: "Let Ling Dang be put on the carriage before."

"Qingsu, go to the side courtyard yourself now and fetch Miss Lu's clothes."

Liang Qingsu was about to respond, when a voice said: "No need, madam has just ordered the old slave to bring Miss Lu's clothes, let's all have a look."

It was Liang Ziyuan's nanny Xin Gu who said this.At this time, she was holding a bundle in her hand, on which were piled a set of light yellow clothes and women's embroidered shoes.

Lu Xiaomo was shocked when she saw the clothes, didn't she let Ling Dang go to the carriage first?If the clothes are stained with blood by someone using a murder weapon, hide them together.If the clothes have not been tampered with, take them first.

Why hasn't Lingdang been seen yet, but the clothes have fallen into the hands of others?
She looked at Yun Jiuan, but Yun Jiuan didn't know what was wrong, so she couldn't help frowning.

Xin Gu threw the clothes on the ground, only to hear a "clang", and a bloody dagger fell from the dress.

Li Yan watched Lu Xiaomo's expression quietly, and seeing her panicked look, a cold smile appeared on the corner of her mouth - even if Lu Xiaomo jumped into the Yellow River, he would never be able to wash away!

Mrs. Huo, Mrs. Chen, Liang Shengguang, Liang Ziyuan, including Song Zhu and the other young masters were all moved.

The noble ladies from various prefectures showed gloating expressions, even if the Holy Majesty valued the Lu family and favored Lu Zhaoyi, Lu Xiaomo might be doomed this time.

Lu Jingxuan was furious, he drew his sword and pointed at Xin Gu, "Tell me! Who ordered you to frame Xiao Mo? If you don't tell the truth, I will kill you right now!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xin Gu was not afraid of him, "Master Lu, the servant was ordered by Madam to fetch things from the Lu family's carriage, so how can I frame him? Does your lord think that the servant put the murder weapon in Miss Lu's clothes? Hanqiao who is beside Princess Lingxiang is also going there together, we have no reason to harm Miss Lu, not to mention our young master respects your lord very much, we are just doing things according to the facts."
