Chapter 111

The woman trembled all over, but still refused to admit it.

Chu Yunjin handed the oiled paper to the peddler, "But this?"

"Exactly." The peddler nodded, opened the oil-paper bag and looked at the chestnut cake, frowning, "This chestnut cake is not made by a small one."

"No?" Chu Yunjin said again, "The one with the problem is yours, isn't this one?"

"No." The peddler stared at the chestnut cake and said, "You smell it, it doesn't smell like sweet-scented osmanthus."

Chu Yunjin smelled it, and said again, "It's really weird."

"But I know which company this chestnut cake is from?" the peddler asked quickly.

"Which one?" Chu Yunjin asked.

"This is the chestnut cake from Aunt Li's house at the foot of the south wall of the city." He said, "His family likes to use red dates." The vendor continued, "However, Aunt Li's son is ill, and she hasn't been out of the stall for a few days."

"There is no stall, but there are chestnut cakes here?" Chu Yunjin took a look, and the chestnut cakes seemed to be freshly made.

She stared at the peddler, saw that he was looking seriously, and raised her eyes to Chu Yunjin, "It's strange, how could my chestnut cake be tampered with?"

Chu Yunjin raised his eyebrows, thinking about this little peddler, he still thought about it.

But the peddler said, "Small ones can't ruin the reputation accumulated by the ancestors, nor can they ruin the signboard."

Chu Yunjin listened, and said, "Then Aunt Li hasn't come out of the stall, how could this chestnut cake appear here?"

"I don't know about that." The peddler shook his head.

Upon hearing that, the old woman said quickly, "I really didn't buy this chestnut cake."

But the peddler said, "If you buy it, you'll buy it. Besides, this oil-paper bag is mine. Can I still admit my mistake?"

Chu Yunjin looked at Xigou, "Go find the person who bought this chestnut cake."

The dog sniffed the chestnut cake again, but did not leave the room, but stood directly in front of Aunt Pei.

"What's going on?" Chu Yunjin looked at Aunt Pei.

"I don't know." Aunt Pei also looked flustered.

Chu Yunjin said again, "Go to Aunt Li's house and ask about the chestnut cake."

"Yes." Dongyue replied with downcast eyes.

Since Aunt Li didn't sell the stall, someone bought it at her house on purpose, so she must be a regular customer.

And the dog actually smelled Aunt Pei's place, so Aunt Pei bought the chestnut cake.

Then, the chestnut cake that the woman bought was cleaned up by Aunt Pei. This Aunt Pei was really smart. She was worried that the matter would eventually be found out on her own head, so she replaced the chestnut cake.

"Check it out, is there something wrong with this chestnut cake?" The third master asked in a low voice.

The doctor took a piece, checked it, nodded and said, "It's also mixed with poison."

Chu Yunjin probably understands, and framed it.

It seems that Aunt Li can't find anything.

Chu Yunjin still had to think of another way.

This Auntie Pei is really difficult to deal with.

Chu Yunjin gave Chu Yunxi a look.

Chu Yunxi said helplessly, "If you can't find out the reason for this matter, should you report it to the authorities?"

"Report to the official?" The fourth lady hurriedly said, "You must report to the official, this is murder."

"That is, the murderer must be found out no matter what." Fifth Madam also said aside.

The old lady listened, her face darkened, seeing Chu Yunjin approaching, she seemed to understand something?
"Wait first." The old lady said calmly, "If you really report to the government, Mrs. Pei will be taken to the government."

When the third master heard this, he said again, "I can't let her die for no apparent reason like this."

"I've heard that if a wronged person dies, she will come to find her murderer in the middle of the night, will the third aunt appear in the middle of the night?" Chu Yunying said softly, "Why don't we wait tonight and see what the third aunt will do?" Won't come back and tell us who the murderer is?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Chu Yunjin tugged at Chu Yunying, "Third sister was just scared."

At this time, the fourth madam and the fifth madam looked at each other, and also cried, "Then just wait, if the third sister-in-law doesn't come tonight, then we will report to the officials tomorrow."

The third master was silent for a long time.

Aunt Pei burst into tears when she heard this.

Chu Yunjin ordered the peddler to be sent back, and then ordered the woman to be locked up.

The old lady was tired, so she went back first.

The third master is accompanying the third lady.

Aunt Pei didn't want to leave either, but seeing that the third master's eyes were all on the third wife, she could only lower her head and go back to her room.

Chu Yunjin went back to her yard, and the sisters gathered together.

"Big sister, this aunt Pei is really cunning." Chu Yunxi frowned.

"Why didn't you expose it directly?" Chu Yunmo asked.

"No." Chu Yunxi said hastily, "You haven't seen it yet, she was ready to get rid of herself early in the morning."

"That's right, the oiled paper bag is from the peddler, but the chestnut cake is from someone else, and there are still problems. Isn't this a clear case of death?" Chu Yunying looked at Chu Yunjin, "Big sister, what will Auntie Pei do?"

"Destroyed all possible evidence." Chu Yunjin said, "And it was done quietly."

"So..." Chu Yunying looked at her, "Big sister told me that the third aunt's ghost will come back?"

"Yes." Chu Yunjin nodded, "People's hearts are scarier than ghosts."

"Why can't I understand?" Chu Yunmo frowned.

"Think about it carefully, what if the third aunt really shows up tonight?" Chu Yunying said, "What will happen to the murderer?"

"Show your original shape." Chu Yunmo said bluntly.

"Yes." Chu Yunjin said, "At that time, if the third aunt died unjustly, she will definitely come to find the murderer, but she didn't say that ghosts can't kill people."

"I understand." Chu Yunmo finally realized.

"Borrowing a knife to kill someone." Chu Yunxi said immediately.

"Another life will be lost tonight." Chu Yunjin shook his head.

"Big sister, should we just watch helplessly?" Chu Yunmo looked at Chu Yunjin.

"Otherwise?" Chu Yunjin sighed, "If no one dies, how can we see Aunt Pei's cunning and viciousness?"

"Hey." Chu Yunmo said again, "When will the third aunt..."

"Don't worry." Chu Yunjin murmured a few words with Chu Yunmo.

Chu Yunmo frowned, "I am really sad to see my mother."

"Hey." Chu Yunxi also said, "My mother is too."

"This will allow the murderer to be sure that Third Aunt is really dead." Chu Yunjin said.

"That's right." Chu Yunying looked at them, "Let's get together tonight, Sixth Sister, go cry."

"Huh?" Chu Yunluo looked at her blankly.

Chu Yunjin pinched Chu Yunying's cheek, "The third sister is getting cuter."

"Big sister, my crying is not as real as my sixth sister's crying." Chu Yunying directly pinched Chu Yunluo's waist.

Chu Yunluo raised his head and began to cry.

Chu Yunmo and Chu Yunxi looked at Chu Yunluo crying sadly, they looked at each other, and then wiped away their tears.
