Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 85 Who Killed the Cat

When Cui Wenyu saw this, she knew that she was wrong. Not only did she fail to please Xie Wanqing, but it made both Xie Wanqing and Cui Wenxiao dissatisfied with her.

Cui Wenyu then obediently sat aside, teased the cat, and stopped talking.

The three of them sat together and chatted casually for a while. Cui Wenxiao probably felt that Cui Wenyu was present and it was inconvenient to say many intimate words, so she persuaded Xie Wanqing to take a rest earlier.

Xie Wanqing was also a little tired, so she fell asleep with Cui Wenxiao.

After a night of silence, Xie Wanqing and Cui Wenxiao were woken up from their sleep by a howl in the early morning of the next day.

Xie Wanqing opened her eyes, and immediately regained her senses. On the contrary, Cui Wenxiao rubbed her eyes in a daze, and asked, "What's wrong? Who is shouting outside at seven in the morning?"

Xie Wanqing listened carefully, and then said: "It seems to be Wen Yu's voice, cousin, get up quickly, there must be something wrong!"

"It's that girl again, I really don't want to talk to her anymore, she just likes to play tricks, I don't know what kind of tricks she's playing this time!" Cui Wenxiao lay back and covered her face with a thin quilt angrily. I don't want to get up.

Xie Wanqing couldn't ignore it, so she had to persuade her: "Go out and have a look first, she is crying in your yard, if she doesn't know, she will definitely think you bullied her, don't care what others think, but uncle will blame you immature!"

She still knows a little about her uncle, although she is not a fool, but she is a bit biased. She has a special liking for the second aunt Yao, so naturally she prefers Cui Wenyu.

Cui Wenxiao got up angrily, and said, "I really don't understand why we can't let people live a peaceful life. Her mother and daughter have never been wronged in the Duke's mansion, and they always bully others. If it wasn't for Grandma is on top, maybe she can climb on my mother's head, what else is there to be satisfied with?"

"Don't talk about it. How can everything go well in life? Most of it is to make troubles. It's okay for you, but your mother still wants to preside over the backyard of the Duke's mansion, so you can't leave anyone talking about it!"

Xie Wanqing persuaded her earnestly, she knew that her eldest aunt was an honest person, and she was unreasonable in her behavior and actions, but she still lacked some ruthlessness, otherwise she wouldn't have allowed that Yao family to be so rampant.

Cui Wenxiao got up resentfully, put on her clothes, and then went out with Xie Wanqing. When she opened the door, she saw Cui Wenyu crying in the yard like her dead mother!
"Woooooo... cat..." Cui Wenyu choked on something, and the servants persuaded him, but there was no way to persuade him.

Cui Wenxiao got angry and shouted, "It's so early in the morning, why are you crying? You don't think it's bad luck, do you?"

Xie Wanqing frowned, seeing Cui Wenyu holding the cat in her arms, but the cat was motionless, with blood stains faintly on the snow-white fur, it looked quite scary.

Xie Wanqing pushed Cui Wenxiao and said, "Cousin, that cat seems to be dead!"

Cui Wenxiao was taken aback for a moment, her expression became tense, and she said, "You were fine last night, why..."

Xie Wanqing shook her head at her, and said: "Don't get excited, understand it clearly before talking, no matter what she says later, don't be annoyed!"

Xie Wanqing could vaguely sense something, but she still hoped that it would not be what she thought. After all, Cui Wenyu was still a seven-year-old girl. If she really had such vigor, then the days of the Cui family would be even more lively in the future!
Cui Wenxiao is not so stupid, she naturally understood what Xie Wanqing was thinking, nodded at her, suppressed the anger in her heart, and walked over.

"Third sister, what's wrong? You're crying like this?" Cui Wenxiao asked patiently.

Cui Wenyu raised her weeping little face, and showed the cat to Cui Wenxiao. The cat died a miserable death, bleeding to death from its seven orifices, and its four little paws were chopped off by a knife. Wen Xiao cried out in fright.

"Ah... take it away!" Cui Wenxiao covered her eyes, her face turned pale with fright.

Xie Wanqing seemed much calmer, helped Cui Wenxiao, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Calm down, don't be afraid!"

Cui Wenyu burst into tears again, and said, "Why are you so cruel, you want to treat my cat like this, woo...it is so cute, why do you want to hurt it!"

"Miss San, don't cry, the cat is gone, you will break your body if you cry any longer!" It was Cui Wenyu's personal girl, Xing'er, who persuaded her.

Cui Wenyu continued to cry, and said: "The cat has been with me for so long, how can I not be sad now that it has died so tragically? Who is so vicious, even the cat can be treated like this!"

Xing'er also wiped her tears, and said: "Miss San, this servant knows that your most precious cat is gone, but it's gone, so please mourn, the Duke of the Kingdom knows that, he must love you too!"

"I don't care, hoot... I want to avenge the cat, whoever killed it, I want daddy to punish her severely!" Cui Wenyu cried while crying.

Xie Wanqing narrowed her eyes, it seemed that the scene was developing as she expected.

Cui Wenyu... this girl is not simple!

Xie Wanqing was silent for a moment, before she stepped forward and said, "Sister Yu'er, don't cry, even if you want to find the murderer, you have to calm down first!"

Seeing Xie Wanqing, Cui Wenyu seemed to relax a little, pulled Xie Wanqing and said, "Cousin Waner, you want to make decisions for me, for the cat? You also met yesterday, it is so obedient, so It’s beautiful, who would want to hurt it?”

Xie Wanqing glanced at the cat's appearance and said, "It looks like it's been poisoned, you put it down first, don't accidentally get poisoned blood, the consequences will be serious!"

Seeing this, Cui Wenyu threw the cat away without hesitation, her eyes full of fear.

Xie Wanqing then knew that this girl was not really as distressed towards the beast as she was on the surface, and she was not afraid after hugging her for a long time, but now she said she would be infected with poisonous blood!

Xie Wanqing deliberately said: "You go and invite a doctor to diagnose your third lady, don't get any poison, it is said that some poisons can be transmitted through the skin!"

Cui Wenyu turned her eyes, and said quickly: "No... no, I'm fine, I just want to know who killed the cat, it was given to me by my father, I can't let it go!"

Xie Wanqing nodded and said: "You are right, then was this cat with you last night?"

Cui Wenyu shook her head and said, "I'm sleeping on the couch in my sister's room. Don't you know that my cousin Wan'er knows that my sister doesn't like cats on the couch, so I let someone take her away!"

Cui Wenxiao narrowed her eyes, and said, "When did I say that yesterday? You said you were afraid of dirtying my soft couch, so you let Xing'er take you away, but now you say I don't want to." I like your cat on the bed, what do you want to do?"

Cui Wenyu pursed her mouth aggrievedly, and said: "Ever since I stopped my sister from feeding the cat last time, she doesn't like cats anymore. I was also afraid that the cat would make my sister angry, so I let Xing'er take it away!"

"Okay, okay, what are you talking about now, since Xing'er took it away, then Xing'er, why didn't you take good care of the cat and let someone kill the cat?" Xie Wanqing asked Xing'er directly In short, this matter must not let Cui Wenyu muddy the water, and then put the crime on Cui Wenxiao's head.

Xing'er also started to cry, and said: "The servant took the cat away last night, and the servant also rested in the lower room of Yilan Garden last night, maybe the servant slept so hard, the next morning, the cat It's gone!"

"It's gone? Where did you find the cat?" Xie Wanqing asked.

Before Xing'er could answer, Cui Wenyu cried out again, "It was found...in my clothes, woo woo..."

"This clearly means that someone intentionally harmed our third lady. Who would be scared out of their wits when they saw such a cat early in the morning?" Xing'er cried.

Xie Wanqing frowned, and said: "Xing'er, don't talk nonsense until the matter is clear, your third lady has kept this cat for so long and it's fine, but something happened in your cousin's yard, what do you say If someone wants to harm her, isn't that blaming your young lady?"

Xing'er stole a glance at Cui Wenxiao, then flinched, and said, "I don't dare, but it's true that the cat died so badly and scared the third lady!"

Xie Wanqing frowned, and said: "You girl, you were responsible for taking care of the cat, but it died in the end, do you think we should suspect that you killed the cat?"

"Miss Cousin, I am wronged. The servant is loyal to the third lady, and takes good care of the cat on weekdays. She never dared to change her mind. Why did something happen when she arrived at Yilan Garden?"

Myolie still wanted to blame Cui Wenxiao for the crime.

Cui Wenxiao couldn't hold back her anger anymore, and said angrily: "Xing'er, you little hoof, do you mean that I intend to harm her?"

"Your maidservant didn't say that!" Xing'er was calm and composed, not at all afraid of Cui Wenxiao's anger, which showed that she was used to being arrogant.

Cui Wenxiao gritted her teeth, her eyes almost burst into flames, and said, "You didn't say that, but that's what you meant. What evidence do you have that people from Yilan Garden killed the cat?" ?”

Xing'er cried and said: "Miss, Xing'er has no evidence, so I hope that Miss can come forward to find the murderer. Anyway, Mao'er died in Yilan Garden, Miss can't sit idly by regardless of reason!"

"Okay, okay... I didn't expect that the rules of the Duke's mansion have changed, and a servant dares to talk to me like this. Have the rules of the Cui family become a decoration?" Cui Wenxiao was furious, wishing she could Burst out now.

Xie Wanqing was about to persuade her when Cui Wenxiao said: "A beast dies when it dies. Do you want me to pay for its life? Cui Wenyu, remember it for me, don't say I didn't Kill your cat, even if I killed it, what can you do to me?"

Cui Wenyu's eyes flickered with darkness, and then she burst into tears, saying: "Yes, big sister is right, a cat is a beast, even I, a living person, dare not do anything to my sister, let alone a cat cat!"

After finishing speaking, she said to Xing'er: "Take the cat away, don't embarrass big sister!"

After all, she ran away first, Xie Wanqing wanted to stop her, but was pulled back by Cui Wenxiao, and said: "What are you going after her for? Let's see what she can do. A young lady from the Duke's mansion will be afraid of a concubine!"

Xie Wanqing thought for a while, but she didn't intend to chase after her. First of all, this is the Duke's Mansion. After all, she is a coquette, so she shouldn't be too flamboyant. Secondly... the matter hasn't reached that point yet, just see what happens!
