Chapter 40 Dead
"Is there any news? Then tell me quickly, where did that maid go?" Xu Muhua sat down upright, looking like a primary school student listening attentively to the class.

The uncle said quietly: "Die!"

"What?" Xu Muhua was stunned and blinked, "You said that maid is dead, a lifeless death?"

"Death is death, what else is there to die? She was kicked out that day, died that night, and was only found the next morning, her body was rigor mortis!"

Xu Muhua's face was a little solemn, "Isn't this a bit too coincidental? I don't think things are simple. Doesn't anyone know how she died?"

Could it be that he was kicked out and couldn't think about it for a while?

"A mouse that was eating in the middle of the night said he saw her getting up at night and sitting next to the bed for a while, then he found a rope and hung it on the beam, and hanged himself!"

"Then she couldn't bear the shock of being kicked out, so she couldn't think of committing suicide?"

"But another butterfly said that although she looked very sad when she returned home, she kept saying that she didn't mean it, so why did she have to drive herself out. But in the evening, she was in the mood to water the flowers in the yard. At that time She angrily said that if the Chengguo Duke's Palace couldn't do it, then she would sign the contract with someone else, and it's not just the Chengguo Duke's Palace that wants servants."

This way she doesn't look like someone who wants to commit suicide!
"Has that mouse seen anyone else in her room?" Xu Muhua asked.

"No, no one else has gone in since she returned to her room."

Xu Muhua frowned and pondered, somehow thinking of his own affairs.Could there be something like a ghost controlling the maid and making her hang herself?This doesn't seem impossible.

As for the mouse, if there really is something like a ghost, it probably can't see it, right?

But no matter what, the maid was kicked out by Xu Jinyu and she hanged herself that night.This is definitely not just a coincidence.

What secrets are there in Xu Jinyu’s house?
"Uncle, can't you go into her house and see what secrets there are?"

Speaking of this, the uncle is also very angry!

"Do you think I don't want to? But I told you, there's something weird in her house, and I can't get in!" Because it's too fat and attracts too much attention!It tried to get in, but was almost exposed.

If it is exposed, it will be even more difficult to find out the situation in the future.It's better to find another way, they have to think longer term.

Xu Muhua didn't doubt that the problem was caused by the uncle's body shape, he just thought it was really difficult to get in.

She held her chin and thought: "It seems I have to think of a solution."

With an inadvertent glance, she saw the book of rewards given by Concubine Zhang that Shiliu had compiled, and she had an idea in a flash.

After having breakfast in his own yard, Xu Muhua asked Pomegranate to pick out a piece of jewelry, then came to the main courtyard, and took Xu's mother unexpectedly to Xu Jinyu's yard, Qinghe Garden.

The maid in Qinghe Garden was so surprised when she saw her mistress and eldest lady coming so early in the morning that she didn't even react to report them.

Xu Muhua said quickly, "There's no need to announce it. My mother and I can go in by ourselves. We are all members of the same family, and we are both women."

Xu's mother also nodded, "No need to make a special announcement, just go and do your work!"

The maid was slow for a moment before she remembered that the Second Miss had said that no matter who was coming, she should be notified first... Her expression suddenly changed, and she hurriedly chased after her, panicking and shouting: "Second Miss, Madam The eldest lady and I came to see you!"

Xu Muhua turned back and glanced at the maid, and she flinched.Xu's mother didn't think much about it, just thinking that this maid was too stubborn.

Xu Jinyu frowned when he heard the announcement in the room, but soon relaxed. He winked at a maid next to him, and the maid quickly retreated.

"Mom, eldest sister, why did you come here so early in the morning?" Xu Jinyu looked very happy and surprised.

Xu's mother walked straight to the table and sat down. She smiled and said, "I'm not your eldest sister yet. She said she wanted to give you a surprise. Take a look!"

She pushed the gift prepared by Xu Muhua in front of Xu Jinyu.

Xu Jinyu didn't know why, and glanced at Xu Muhua in confusion. She urged: "Jinyu, please see if you like it!"

Xu Jinyu looked at the sandalwood box on the table, reached out and opened it, revealing the contents inside.

It’s a hair accessory, very beautiful!
The shape of a butterfly and flower was cut out with golden filaments, the body of the butterfly was decorated with green dots, and the two eyes were made of two round and small gems.The blooming flowers are made of fine silk satin, which is lifelike, and the dewdrops on the silk flowers look particularly lifelike.

What even more shows the exquisite craftsmanship is that the flowers and butterflies on this hair accessory are not big, small and cute, but have clear textures. Every detail is extremely meticulous, which further demonstrates the superb craftsmanship of the craftsman.

Xu Jinyu is still young and is not suitable for wearing hair accessories such as hairpins, but this hair accessory is just right. Pinned on her head, it is not too showy and can add a bit of beauty and charm.

Before Xu Jinyu could speak, Xu Muhua picked up the hair accessory and put it on Xu Jinyu's head. After looking left and right for a while, he nodded with satisfaction, turned to look at Xu's mother and asked: "Mom, do you think it looks good?" I just said that this hair accessory definitely suits Jinyu!"

Xu's mother also looked at it carefully and nodded in agreement: "It is indeed very beautiful. You have good taste!"

"That's right. I searched for a long time before I found a hair accessory suitable for Jin Yu!"

Hey, not to mention, Concubine Zhang gave her a lot of jewelry and hair accessories, but not many of them were suitable for her age.This gift to Xu Jinyu is really one of the most exquisite and compact hair accessories.

Of course Xu Jinyu also knows how beautiful this hair accessory is, but when worn on her head, it seems to weigh a thousand pounds.

"Mom, eldest sister, why did you give me this thing?"

Xu Muhua said: "Didn't Concubine Zhang reward me with a lot of things? I've already sent them to my mother and grandmother, and only you and Anan are left. You two are still young, so it's hard to choose gifts. I'll take the expense." It took me a while to pick out this hair accessory!”

"If it weren't for you being my sister, I wouldn't be able to let you go!"

Xu Jinyu gestured to take them off, "Since the eldest sister can't bear to part with them, let's take them back! I'm still young, so it's okay if I don't need these."

"How can that be done! There is no reason to take back something that has been sent out! We are sisters, so what does this mean?"

Xu's mother looked at the two sisters loving each other and couldn't help but smile happily.

After sitting for a while, Xu Muhua suddenly said: "Oh, I drank too much water this morning. I want to make it easier. Jin Yu, I don't know if I can..."

Without waiting for Xu Jinyu to answer, Xu's mother said: "In that case, you can just stay with your sister for a while. There is nothing you can't do! Go quickly!"

Then Xu Muhua swooped away quickly, looking very anxious.
