Chapter 287 Forced Marriage (2)
"As long as we pretend we don't know about it, others won't suspect us of her death." When Bai Qianyi said this, she realized that her stiff body began to move slowly. Bai Jiawang, whose face was ashen with fright, warned: "Brother, if someone asks, don't say that we have been here tonight, do you understand?"

Under her determined eyes, Bai Jiawang quickly nodded and said, "I see, then let's go now."

The two brothers and sisters looked at each other, they didn't even dare to turn their heads, they supported each other all the way, and left Yuexin Lake as if fleeing.

It soon became completely dark.

An hour passed, and it seemed that no one had discovered Qiuxia's death.

Bai Qianyi paced back and forth in the room anxiously, listening to the movement outside with her ears pricked up. For her, every minute and every second of this hour was an extremely unbearable torment. She hoped that someone would come sooner. She found out about Qiuxia; after a while, she hoped that others would find out about Qiuxia later, so that her suspicion would be smaller.

In the torment of her fidgeting, another hour passed, and at this time the sky was even darker, and there was no light at all on the earth.Everywhere is shrouded in this thick ink-like darkness.

Dongfang Xian returned home about half an hour ago.

While Bai Qianyi was waiting nervously and in panic, half an hour after Dongfang Xian returned home, someone outside finally screamed in horror: "It's not good, something happened to Yuexin Lake."

Amidst the extremely tense noise, Bai Qianyi softened like a pool of mud, and sat down on the chair with a relieved expression on her face. Then she took a long breath and murmured in a low voice: "Great, someone finally found out."

After two quarters of an hour, Madam suddenly sent someone to call her to the front hall.

Bai Qianyi had a blank expression on her face, her watery eyes were not at all active at the moment, her eyes were dull and lifeless, she walked to the front hall in a daze like a puppet.

When she arrived, she found that Madam, Dongfangrou, Dongfangxian and Baijiawang were already in the hall.

When everyone saw her coming in, countless cold eyes shot at her like arrows piercing their hearts.

Among them, Dongfang Xian's triangular eyes showed the most sinister and evil spirit.

Bai Qianyi was startled, but walked in slowly with her head down.

"Okay, everyone is here, now everyone follow me to have a look inside." Madam opened her eyelids, her cold and expressionless eyes slowly passed over everyone present, slightly in front of Bai Jiawang and Bai Qianyi. After stopping for a while, she turned around first and walked towards the inner room.

When everyone entered the inner room, they immediately saw a person lying upright on the ground, covered with a dazzling white cloth.

Everyone, including Bai Jiawang and Bai Qianyi who knew the truth early on, couldn't help but feel a strong earthquake in their hearts when their eyes touched the white cloth, and their eyes jumped accordingly.

Dongfang Wu and Bai Nihong, who came in afterward, screamed almost immediately after seeing the white cloth.

"It seems that everyone is very clear about what is covered under the white cloth." Madam glanced at everyone indifferently, her eyes fixed on Bai Qianyi, slowly exuding layers of terrifying chill, said: "Yiyi, Do you know who is lying on the ground now? Do you know how she died?"

"Uncle, aunt? How do I know who she is?" Bai Qianyi glanced at the white cloth, but quickly turned away, still trying to calm down with a white face.

"I won't play charades with everyone anymore. The one who died was none other than Qiuxia, who was pregnant for more than a month. Her death is one corpse and two lives!" Madam looked at the ugly Dongfang Xian and sighed quietly. Angrily, "I don't know who is so cruel that he can do this to a pregnant woman."

"Sister-in-law, from your tone, are you sure that the girl Qiuxia didn't die in an accident?" Dongfang Rou saw that his wife had been staring at Bai Qianyi, and her tone was suspicious, so she couldn't help but immediately retorted: "But why don't you Are you sure whether she fell into the lake by herself or someone pushed her?"

"Grandma, you don't know anything now." Madam gave Dongfangrou a cold look, and said sarcastically, "I have asked all the servants in the Fuzhiyuan, and they all said that Qiuxia is in the sky. When it was dark, he said that he felt very sleepy, so he went into the room and fell asleep."

"In this case, how could she die in the lake?" Dongfang Rou heard her and looked at her in confusion.

"I'm afraid we have to ask Yiyi and Jiawang about this matter." Madam squinted her eyes, cast a sinister light, and slowly glanced at Bai Jiawang and Baiqianyi, "Grandma should still remember that Yiyi died late at night. During the meal, he only took a few mouthfuls, and then he reasoned that he had a headache, so he went back to his room to rest first. As for Jiawang, he didn't go back to the house for dinner at all."

"There is such a thing." Dongfang Rou frowned, and gradually felt uneasy in her heart, as if some conspiracy against her two children was silently approaching, "But what does this mean? Sister-in-law wouldn't just because of this Guess it was Yiyi and Jiawang who harmed Qiuxia?"

"Grandma, you may have heard that the girl Yiyi goes to the Fuzhiyuan every day, and every time she insists on breaking in regardless of the obstruction of the servants and maids."

When Dongfang Rou heard this, her heart shuddered.

She silently glanced at Bai Qianyi with a pale face, and said slowly: "I've indeed heard of this."

Madam gave Dongfang Rou a cool look, and then said with a sneer: "Then you should also have heard that those servants and maids in Fuzhiyuan didn't notify Yiyi when they saw her passing, and they just let her in." gone."

Dongfang Rou's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, what are you trying to tell me when you say this?"

The madam put on a sullen face, smiled coldly, her eyes flashed Bai Qianyi and Bai Jiawang's faces with a stern look, and said slowly: "Someone said that before dark, they saw Yiyi sneaking into the Fuzhi Courtyard. You Said that she wants to go to Fuzhiyuan, she can go in openly at any time, and those servants dare not stop her, why did she sneak in?"

Dongfang Rou's face turned pale, but she looked at Bai Qianyi suspiciously, and asked eagerly: "Yiyi, tell me the truth, have you really sneaked into Fuzhiyuan?"

Bai Qianyi looked at the madam with a gloomy face, then turned to the eager Dongfang Rou, and said aggrievedly: "Mother, how could I do such a thing, just like what my aunt said, I'm going to the Fuzhiyuan, and I can be upright at any time." Go in, why should I sneak in!"

Dongfang Rou breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, then she looked at Madam and said, "Sister-in-law, you heard it too, she has never been there at all, maybe others are blinded by it."

"Grandma, don't worry, I still have something to say." The lady glanced at Dongfang Rou, and said: "Not long after someone saw Yiyi sneaking in, Jiawang also came back from the outside; but according to the people Confess, although Jia Wang came back before dark, he did not return to the room, but... went somewhere!"
