The Queen Mother's Kitchen Knife

Chapter 727 Surprise (3)
Min Rui, who was following behind, shook her head and replied: "Yes, the servant called a few times, but when there was no response, she tried to push the door. The door didn't open, and there was no response from inside. Now she felt something strange in her heart, and forced the door open .”

This shows that the murderer is definitely not going through the right door.

Tang Jingyue couldn't think of who would do this to He Mengwei, and she was still in the heavily guarded Palace of the Regent.

Did the people in the house do it?

Probably.

But... who would it be?
A servant, or a concubine?
While walking quickly, Tang Jingyue first ran through the faces of the various concubines in the backyard in her mind.

Lin Tingzhi, who had a strange attitude after returning home a few days ago, Guo Xiuyin, who showed her favor not to pester her, the two He family who were cousins ​​but not close because of the distinction between concubine and concubine, Qingguo, who had no obvious characteristics, and Yes...it's Qin Xiang.

But each of them seemed unlikely to be the murderer of He Mengwei.After all, except for Lin Tingzhi, the rest of them got along very well on weekdays, and as far as Tang Jingyue knew, no one had ever had any grudges with He Mengwei.

That being the case, when did He Mengwei offend the servants in the mansion?

If that's the case, compared to He Mengwei's death, the existence of such a vile and cruel servant in the mansion is more frightening and shocking.

The fact that He Mengwei's small courtyard was guarded by Min Ye and Yan Baier quickly attracted the attention of the rest of the concubines.Especially He Caimei, who was the first to lead the maid cautiously, approached Min Ye who was standing at the gate of the yard, and asked timidly: "Dare to ask Mammy...but what did my sister do wrong? Make the princess unhappy?"

Otherwise, why would they send this female evil spirit to guard the door.

Min Ye glanced at her, didn't pay much attention, and only replied: "Don't ask too much."

Such an indifferent response made He Caimei, who was already scared by Min Ye, shrank her neck.Then he took the maid and stood aside and waited to watch.

For He Caimei's waiting, Min Ye did not drive her away.After all, it was his sister who died, so it would be too unreasonable to drive someone away at this time.

Besides He Caimei, after a while, Qin Xiang and Aunt Qingguo also came.After Guo Xiuyin heard that He Mengwei's courtyard was guarded by the princess, she was startled. Although she was curious about what He Mengwei had committed, but in order to protect herself, she just sent a woman out to inquire about the news, and she did not show up.

When Tang Jingyue came to He Mengwei's small courtyard, she scanned around the crowd who had come to watch.Write down the expressions on the faces of several people one by one, and then walked into the small courtyard silently.

Min Ye guarded it strictly to keep out all prying eyes.

In the small courtyard, a woman and a servant girl serving He Mengwei were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground, their faces ashen.

Seeing the concubine coming in, he even kowtowed repeatedly, "The servant is wronged" and "The concubine spares my life".

Seeing that the two of them were living well, Tang Jingyue frowned.

Asked: "Who else serves Aunt He besides the two of you?"

The woman was finally older and more courageous, and she could open her mouth to answer the princess' question.

Weeping and saying: "Aside from the old slave and little Yan'er, Aunt He's personal maid, Hua Jin, is serving Aunt He."

Min Rui leaned closer to Tang Jingyue's ear and reported, "Hua Jin is the maid who died at Aunt He's bedside."

Hearing this, Tang Jingyue's brows frowned. He Mengwei's master and servant died in the room with two other servants!

What is going on?
