Concubine Jing Hua: Domineering Nine Thousand Years Old

Chapter 169 Accident or Murder
Early the next morning, Ye Zhen Zhen was woken up by Mu Jin, who said she found Li Yue.

Putting on his clothes, he put on a cloak and hurried out of the Jinxiu Pavilion, and followed Mu Jin to the northwest direction.

Beside the pond in the backyard, many servants gathered around the bank, looking in one direction at the same time, some were discussing, some were pointing.

Ye Zhen Zhen frowned, her fingertips were slightly cold, suppressing the speculation in her heart, she even hoped that what she saw was different from what she imagined.

"Miss Six, please stop." Butler Qi came over, his face darkened, and stopped Ye Zhen Zhen's progress, "You'd better stop looking."

Ye Zhen Zhen ignored him, walked past Steward Qi.

When the servants saw Ye Zhen Zhen coming, they stepped back and stopped discussing.

There was a straw mat on the ground, and a woman was lying on the mat, covered with a snow-white cloth.The woman's hair was wet, covered with a few green water plants, and the soles of her shoes were all muddy.

Mu Jin immediately grabbed Ye Zhen Zhen, with a look of unbearable, she persuaded in a low voice: "Miss, don't go there."

Ye Zhen Zhen brushed Mu Jin's hand away and slowed down her pace.Although the white cloth hadn't been lifted yet, the woman's hair ornament and the pair of embroidered shoes clearly told her who this woman was.

She squatted down slowly, and lifted the white cloth with her own hands, a familiar but bloodless face came into view, it was Li Yue, the maid who had been with her for several years.

Ye Zhen Zhen's face was calm, she couldn't see anything unusual, then she took a closer look at the environment by the pool.

Yun Xiu came over and whispered a few words in Ye Zhen Zhen's ear.

Ye Zhen Zhen's face darkened for a moment, her eyes showed a little chill, but her tone was so calm: "How did you find out?"

Butler Qi took a step forward and replied: "Back to Miss Six, it was when Xing'er passed by here that she saw a person floating in the middle of the lake, and she called out for him."

Ye Zhen Zhen raised her head and looked at the maid named Xing'er.

Xing'er was already terribly frightened, but seeing Ye Zhen Zhen looking at her, she became even more flustered, speaking tremblingly: "Slave, slave girl got up early to fetch water, passed by the pond, and saw something in the middle of the pond Things, after looking carefully, the slaves were frightened, so the slaves went to call, people."

Ye Zhen Zhen glanced at the mud stain on Xing'er's skirt, it seems that she was really frightened and fell down.

"It seems that Liyue slipped and fell into the water, no wonder no one can be found." Qi Guan said.

"Slipped?" Ye Zhen Zhen's eyes were slightly cold, and she looked at Butler Qi coldly.

Butler Qi's heart trembled, and he fell silent immediately.

"Report to the officials." Ye Zhen Zhen said calmly, she stood up and looked at Steward Qi, and instructed, "Take care of this place, and no one will come near until the government comes."

Butler Qi hesitated for a moment, and then said hesitantly: "My servant, go and ask for instructions..."

"Who do I ask for instructions?" Ye Zhen Zhen interrupted Steward Qi coolly, her eyes full of mockery, "Li Yue is my maid, don't I have the right to make decisions?"

"Don't dare, I don't mean that." Butler Qi said repeatedly, took a step back, and didn't dare to say anything more, "Your servant will arrange it now." Today's Miss Six is ​​really scary, so he should speak less subtlety.

"It's all gone, what are you still doing here? Don't you need to work?" Qi Butler dismissed the servants, leaving two guards, and then went to report to the official.

Ye Zhen Zhen did not leave, but observed by the pool for a while, looking at Yun Xiu, waiting for her result.

Yun Xiu knows medicine and is good at poison, and naturally has a unique way of examining corpses. After all, forensic doctors and doctors have similarities in purpose.

"It is true that she died by drowning." Yun Xiu stood up slowly, looked at Li Yue on the ground, then walked to Ye Zhen Zhen's side, and whispered, "It is true that she was pregnant for one month."

Yun Xiu's voice was very low, but Ye Zhen Zhen and Mu Jin heard it.

"How could this be?" Mu Jin didn't know and was full of surprise.She and Li Yue have been living together, but they haven't noticed anything, no wonder they always feel that something is wrong these few days.

"It's a long story. Yunxiu, come here." Ye Zhenzhen pulled Yunxiu and whispered in her ear, "Go to Jingzhao Mansion quickly, please invite Master Xu to come to the mansion in person. Then let someone pass the news to Prince Yan, and then go get the things over..."

"Okay, I see." Yun Xiu finished answering and left.

"Little sister!" Ye Jincheng rushed over after hearing the news, glanced at Li Yue on the ground, frowned slightly, and looked at Ye Zhenzhen worriedly, "Little sister, are you alright?" He knew that the little girl loved the servant the most And Liyue grew up with her since she was a child.

Ye Zhenzhen raised her head, looked at Ye Jincheng, and wanted to give him a reassuring smile, but unfortunately it was not easy: "Brother, I'm fine."

Ye Jincheng glanced at Liyue who was covered with a white cloth on the ground, frowned, not knowing how to comfort her, and asked, "Is there anything I can do to help you?"

"I have already reported to the government, presumably the government will come soon." Ye Zhen Zhen said calmly.

Ye Jincheng nodded: "If you need my help, please let me know." After a pause, he said, "Don't be too sad, I know Liyue is very important to you."

"Well, big brother, don't worry, I'm really fine." Ye Zhen Zhen smiled bitterly and sadly.

Ye Jincheng didn't say anything more, just stayed with her.

Not long after, Steward Qi led the people from Jingzhao Mansion, and it was really Xu Chengmo who brought them here himself.

Mrs. Tan also came over accompanied by Ye Yuhan. As the mistress of the Ye Mansion, she naturally had to appear.

Mrs. Tan gave a slight salute to Xu Chengmo, and then thanked: "I am really thankful for your kindness to Mr. Xu to come to the mansion in person."

"Madam Tan, you're being polite. It's my job." Xu Chengmo nodded lightly, glanced at the work behind him, and signaled him to come forward for an inspection.

Wu Zuo came forward with the toolbox, and Xu Chengmo led the people to check around.

Tan looked at Ye Zhenzhen and Ye Yuhan, and said: "Go back to your room, it's fine if Cheng Er and I stay here, it's not suitable for you to stay here."

Ye Yuhan didn't reply immediately, but looked at Ye Zhenzhen.

Ye Zhen Zhen was about to say something, but Xu Chengmo said: "Miss Six, please come here."

"Okay." Ye Zhen Zhen nodded to Mrs. Tan, then went to Xu Chengmo's side.Seeing Xu Chengmo standing by the pool with an unclear expression, she asked, "Master Xu, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Is the deceased your maid?" Xu Chengmo's face was expressionless, and he asked as usual.

Ye Zhen Zhen nodded and replied: "Exactly, her name is Li Yue."

"The deceased did die by drowning." Xu Chengmo frowned slightly, showing a trace of coldness.

Tan's mother and daughter also came over. Tan glanced at Xu Chengmo, then looked at Liyue on the ground, sighed, and said, "I don't know what this girl can't think about, but..."
