After returning home, the Crown Princess can no longer hide her vest!

"Sir." The chief steward turned around and bowed to Yu Linlang and the others, smiling and saying, "There are some urgent matters in the mansion, and I need this old servant to handle them. I hope you will forgive me."

"Since it's a murder case, let's go and take a look together." Yu Linlang responded very naturally.

The chief steward of the Zheng residence's face changed slightly, and he felt inexplicably frightened.

Just now, the servant only whispered a few words beside him, but Lord Yuhu could hear it clearly from a distance.

The chief steward looked embarrassed and glanced at the master subconsciously.

The latter nodded slightly at him with a stern face. The chief steward smiled and bowed, saying, "Sir, please come this way."

The group headed towards the garden.

Mrs. Zheng glanced at her daughter and pulled herself together a little, "Help me over there."

"Mother." Zheng Manting looked at Mrs. Zheng worriedly.

"No problem, go find out what's going on first." Mrs. Su was right, you have to stand up for yourself in everything.

You can't just ignore the affairs of the mansion and let Aunt Xiao handle everything.

If she can't stand up, her daughter will be bullied in the future.

This time she was almost sold to a prostitute. If there is a next time, Madam Zheng cannot guarantee that her daughter will be so lucky to meet Lord Jade Fox who saved her life.

Yu Linlang and his party followed the steward to the garden, and saw from afar a group of guests gathered there, whispering to each other.

The crowd gathered from a distance, looking at the tree and pointing.

There was a corpse hanging on the tree, which was very eye-catching. Zheng Manting screamed in surprise when she saw it and ran forward in two steps at a time.

"Xiao Cui."

"Quickly stop the young lady." The steward stamped his feet anxiously.

The two old maids held Zheng Manting on the left and right, and said with a fake smile, "Miss, dead bodies are unlucky, you'd better not go over there... Ouch."

The old lady was inexplicably hit on the head by something like a stone. She fell forward in pain. Zheng Manting took the opportunity to break away from the control of the two men and ran towards the tree.

Chi Tu tossed the peanuts in his hand, put one into his mouth, and snorted, "It's an eyesore."

Madam Zheng wiped her tears and explained to everyone, "That was Xiao Cui, Tingjie's personal maid, who disappeared with her four days ago. I didn't expect it to be..."

"Alright, alright, alright, stop looking around. It's just that a little maid in the mansion couldn't stand the punishment, and she committed suicide. It's nothing, it's nothing. Let's go." The chief steward Tuantuan bowed with a bitter face.

The guests were eager to watch the fun and would not leave easily.

The chief steward urged the servants to get the maid down from the tree as soon as possible. When he saw Yu Linlang coming towards him, he rubbed his hands and smiled as he greeted her, "Sir, this is a servant in the mansion. She has signed a contract to sell herself."

The implication is that this is the Zheng family's family affair and there is no need for the government to interfere.

"Master Zheng, it is really unlucky that such a thing happened during your family's full moon banquet."

Zheng Guang smiled and waved his hands, "My maidservant is ignorant, please forgive me for making fun of you gentlemen."

The servants were also unable to do their job and were shouting loudly, attracting everyone to come and watch. Zheng Guang was furious at the moment, but he had to put on a faint smile on his face.

Wang Hanlin, who had always been on bad terms with him, could not help but retort, "Master Zheng, what are you talking about? Your maid died here today, or did the deceased not choose an auspicious day? Is she ignorant?"

Zheng Guang's colleagues were standing beside him at this time, and they all cast strange looks at Zheng Hanlin. The death of a maid in the family was not a big deal for a wealthy family, but at least they had to pretend in front of outsiders.

"Zheng Hanlin, a maidservant died in the mansion. The steward acted so carelessly and even tried to stop Lord Yuhu from coming forward to check. This is not a good thing to do!"

Wang Hanlin snorted and flicked his sleeves, "This is such a mess and it's inexplicable."

The others all knew Wang Hanlin's strange temper, and they all laughed and tried to smooth things over, "Zheng Hanlin doesn't know what's going on in the backyard, it must be that something went wrong when the lady was in charge."

Wang Hanlin scolded them again, "What Madam? I heard that the housekeeper of Lord Zheng's house is a concubine!"

If he hadn't been dragged here by several colleagues to drink today, he wouldn't have come!
His wife had long ago warned him that Zheng Hanlin, who favored his concubine over his wife, was not a good person.

If it weren't for the face I couldn't save!

But now Wang Hanlin really regretted it. Looking at how messed up this family was, they could even drink a corpse out of a hundred-day banquet!
He should have listened to his wife and not come here to live in peace!

Zheng Hanlin was also very angry. He turned around and saw Aunt Xiao and her people rushing over. He quickly winked at her.

Aunt Xiao was always good at dealing with people. She smiled and stepped forward to greet everyone. "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you all. The food and wine are already on the table. If they get cold, they will affect the taste. My lords and ladies, please go back to the table and eat. We will take care of the small matters here."

Seeing the servants coming over to invite people, the many guests felt embarrassed to stay and watch the fun, and they left slowly, but their steps were very slow, and they stopped from time to time to watch.

"Master Yuhu."

Yu Linlang was putting on her gloves and checking the body that had been taken down from the tree, and had no time to pay attention to anyone else.

Zheng Guang shouted three times before Yu Linlang raised her eyes and glanced at him, "Sir Zheng, there's a murder case in your backyard. Will you report it to the government?"

"Murder case?" Zheng Guang was confused. "What does Lord Yuhu mean?"

Didn’t the little girl hang herself?
"Xiao Cui." Zheng Manting knelt beside the corpse and shed tears silently. When she heard this, she suddenly raised her head and said, "Sir, was my Xiao Cui murdered by someone?"

Yu Linlang stood up and said to Zheng Guang expressionlessly, "This little girl drowned. If nothing unexpected happened, she should have drowned in the well."

Zheng Guang quickly said, "Then she just jumped into the well and died because she was so depressed!"

Wang Hanlin and others looked up at the sky in silence.

Yu Linlang stared at him, smiling, "Zheng Hanlin, do you want to take back what you said before? Listen to what you said, is it normal?"

Zheng Guang almost cried because of his own stupidity when he said this. He smiled awkwardly at Yu Linlang and said, "Then I'll follow Master Yuhu's opinion."

"It's impossible for a dead person to climb out of a well and hang himself on a tree."

The guests who stopped to watch were whispering to each other.

Oh my God, I thought it was just a trivial case of a maid committing suicide, but I didn’t expect that this little girl was murdered?
Zheng Guang gave her an awkward smile and cupped his hands, "This is a family affair of the harem, there is no need to report it to the government office."

"Master Zheng, although you hold the maid's indenture, you can beat and scold her at will. But in this case, you can't do that. Can you see which good family would beat or force a servant to death at will?"

"You are a Hanlin scholar, born in a noble family. If you are really known for treating your servants arbitrarily, it would be really unpleasant to spread it out."

Zheng Guang's expression changed again and again.

Aunt Xiao asked calmly, "How did you know that Xiao Cui had jumped into the well and died?" (End of this chapter)
