Episode 010

Miss Ten is gone?
Dong Yuan's ear went round and round, and these words echoed for a long time.

Until Ju Hong's voice trembled slightly, she asked the little maid: "Miss Ten... okay, why are you gone?" Today I went to the old lady's Rongde Pavilion with Miss Jiu to drink Laba porridge and saw Miss Ten, she had a rosy complexion and sat shyly. Behind the fifth lady, she was silent, gentle and obedient as always, why did she disappear?
The always lively Orange Fragrance tightly clutched her chest, a little breathless.

Dong Yuan slowly came back to his senses, trying not to vibrate his tone: "What else did you find out?"

The little maid shook her head, not knowing whether it was cold or afraid, her body was trembling, and she said intermittently: "Mrs. Shizi is already in the Taolang Hall, and Mama Rong and the two sisters Huaren and Huazhu are guarding, and no one is allowed to enter... I go around In the back kitchen, I handed two eight-cent silver coins to the little maid on duty, only to find out that Miss Ten is gone..."

Rong's mother is the mother in charge of Mrs. Shizi's house, and Hua Ren and Hua Zhu are the personal servants of Mrs. Shizi.

Dong Yuan thought of the worried look on the brows of Eleventh Miss Xue Dongshu when she called Tenth Miss Xue Dongwan to stand up in Yang's room in the afternoon.

Ju Xiang sent the little maid down.

Mother Luo came in wearing a velvet jacket, and asked Dong Yuan in a confused way: "Miss, there is a lot of noise in the Taoyuan Pavilion, do you want to send someone to inquire about it?"

The shock and sorrow in Juxiang's eyes have not yet returned, and she is fixed on Luo's mother: "Mom, Miss Ten is gone..."

Luo's mother's face changed drastically, and she asked Juxiang in a daze: "It's the end of the year, why is Miss Ten gone? Why not? Good lady, I went to see Yupei yesterday, and she smiled and asked me what sewing my lady has been doing lately. Doesn't look sick at all..."

It can't be illness.

Rong's mother, Hua Ren, and Hua Zhu are the most powerful in front of Mrs. Rong's family. They go in and out according to Mrs. Rong's orders.

So afraid of people knowing?

Dong Yuan understood that Xue Dongwan committed suicide.

Why did she commit suicide when she was as beautiful as a peach blossom in March?Dong Yuan knew about this concubine girl, she didn't have any scheming, she was simple and honest, and people from Yang's family "took care of" her, she had nothing to recommend but being obedient and docile.

Because the two are about the same age, they always played together when they were young. Xue Dongwan's biological mother, Aunt He, was Han's loyal maidservant who served her personally since childhood. Dong Yuan and Xue Dongwan's sisters have a deep bond.Later, Dong Yuan was replaced by the old lady's person, and the Yang family forbade Xue Dongwan to get too close to Dong Yuan, and the two of them lost contact.

But the childhood friendship is still there.

Sometimes Xue Dongwan also came to ask Dong Yuan for advice on how to embroider and write.

If Xue Dongwan likes the cakes, fruits, tea leaves and even small and cute decorations in Dong Yuan's house, she will not shy away from asking for them.

It's not that she is greedy, but that she is rude to Dong Yuan.

She has never asked for Dong Yuan's precious things, even if Dong Yuan gave her a pair of red gold earrings, she would try her best to refuse to take it.

Such a delicate and naive girl disappeared without warning.

Dong Yuan's teardrops were rolling in his eyes, his body was weak, his heart seemed to be hit by something, and it was dull pain.She leaned on the edge of the Kang and sat down, her lips turned pale.

When she came to this world, she was not very close to anyone except the old lady, only Xue Dongwan often came uninvited because of her good relationship with the owner.

Seeing that she has no bad intentions and is a poor person who is struggling to survive under the pressure of the Yang family like himself, Dong Yuan feels a little bit of pity for her.After getting along for a long time, I think this girl is pure and kind, very cute.Although Dong Yuan never said heartfelt words to her, he really took care of her as a friend.

She is Dong Yuan's only friend of the same age in this world.

Dong Yuan thought of Xue Dongshu's panic again.

In the afternoon, the Yang family left Xue Dongwan behind. What was Xue Dongshu afraid of?Or, what did she know?
Among the sisters in Zhenxianhou's Mansion, Xue Dongwan is unremarkable.Fair personality, childish behavior, ordinary appearance, lack of talent, really can't be a pawn in the hand.

What did Yang do to force Xue Dongwan to commit suicide?
Dong Yuan tightened his hands holding the edge of the Kang, and his joints creaked.

Seeing her like this, Ju Xiang hurriedly brought her hot tea.

She drank it all in one gulp before her complexion recovered, the corners of her eyes were already wet.

Luo's mother was very distressed, she wiped Dong Yuan's tears with a handkerchief, and comforted her softly: "It's okay, sister Yuan, don't be afraid, it may be a misinformation. When Aunt Lu hanged herself in the fourth master's room, she also made a fuss in the middle of the night, saying that she It's gone, didn't you save it later? And gave birth to Sister Xin..."

The fourth master that Luo's mother spoke of was not Dong Yuan's fourth elder brother Xue Huasheng, but the fourth uncle, Xue Zijian, the uncle who was born from a concubine.

Aunt Lu is the biological mother of Xue Dongxin, the eighth miss of the Xue family.

Dong Yuan took the veil, wiped his tears, and said to Ju Xiang and Ju Hong: "Please go on, our courtyard is brightly lit, let the maids wake up..."

Tangerine Fragrance and Orange Red were slightly stunned.

Luo's mother said: "Miss, Mrs. Shizi asked someone to stop me. I'm afraid I don't want too many people to know. Let's rest and pretend we don't know."

"Mom!" Dong Yuan felt a little relieved, and he became more rational, "The Taoyuan Pavilion is only a few steps away from us, and the noise is so loud, how could we not know? We hide and pretend not to know, what do you mean? That’s my sister. Besides, coming from the house of my mother and the second wife, we will pass by our Shicui Pavilion, so we light the lamps, lest they slip because the palace lanterns in their hands are too small to see clearly..."

Pretending to be ignorant is too deliberate, as if they know the truth.

If people suspect that they know the truth, some people will have to inquire about the news. It is unbearable to disturb them, so it is better to be upright.

Mother Luo thought for a while, then nodded heavily: "Miss is right."

Then he ordered Ju Xiang and Ju Hong: "I will accompany Miss, you two go to the Tao Lan Pavilion and see if you need help. Find out what's going on."

Ju Xiang and Ju Hong said yes, turned around and left.

Mother Luo advised Dong Yuan to lie down on the bed, so as not to freeze herself.

Only then did Dong Yuan realize that his hands under his sleeves were a little stiff from the cold.

She went back to the room and lay down, and saw Luo's mother snuggling up on the couch beside the bed, her brows were tightly locked, and she was very melancholy. She listened to the footsteps outside from time to time, and knew that she was also in a bad mood.

About two quarters of an hour, the fifth lady rushed to the Taolang Pavilion, followed by the second lady.

Half an hour later, there was an uproarious cry in the Taoju Pavilion, like the sharp voice of the fifth lady, Dong Yuan's heart sank instantly, as if he had fallen into an abyss.

Her tears rolled down.

No surprises, Xue Dongwan is really gone.
