Houmen's wife

Chapter 26 Skull Restoration (1)
"Mommy, go dig some mud from the lake, it needs to be malleable." After Nian Qing finished speaking, she lowered her head and carefully observed the skeleton. Nanny Zhao nodded and walked out quickly.Nian Qing measured the skeleton with her hands, "This person is five feet tall. He was attacked by someone on the head with porcelain and lost too much blood to death. According to preliminary estimates, he died for nearly 15 years." As she spoke, she clamped the skeleton on the skull. Pull out the fine porcelain on the table and put it on the brocade robe.

Fu'er wrote it down, but she was full of doubts in her heart. "Miss, tell me, if it's just a maid who committed a crime, why wasn't she killed with a stick or other criminal laws? The wound on the head is weird. What's even more strange is why it was buried behind Yicui Garden? It's the same as the princess Does it matter?"

After she finished speaking, she found that the young lady didn't answer her. She pouted and was about to say something, but saw that the young lady's bright eyes were full of smiles.

"Fu'er, you have a bright future. From now on, Miss will depend on you to support her."

Fu'er blushed, "It's all nonsense."

Nian Qing looked at the skeleton, the biggest question was why no one found out after so many years of death. "Fu'er, go to Supervisor Bai to find out what happened to everyone in the mansion 15 years ago."

Fu'er nodded and walked out immediately.

And at this moment, Nanny Zhao also came back, and Nanny Zhao was holding it with a handkerchief, so no one saw her.

Nian Qing grabbed the clay and straightened the skull, and began to stick the clay on the skull.Then she used the remaining pear wood from Ting Yuxuan to carve the shape of an eye, and inserted it into the eye socket.

Zhao Nanny was surprised to see that all the young lady did was so skillful.But it was something she had never heard of.

"Mother Zhao, what did a 15-year-old girl look like 20 years ago?" Nian Qing asked.

Zhao Momo thought for a while, at the age of 20, she must be dressed as a woman, "It's almost a bride's dress, it should be Liuyun bun."

"Find someone to go to the stables to fetch the ponytails of the three horses." Nian Qing pursed her lips, just looking at the woman's facial features, she seemed to be very beautiful, and the appearance filled with mud seemed somewhat familiar.

Soon, ponytail is coming.Nian Qing began to make a rough appearance of the ponytail, and then put the unwanted clothes that Aunt Yun wore in the early years on the skeleton.

Seeing that the finished product came out, Mother Zhao also followed to look at it.

She looked at the face carefully, and a familiar feeling came to her heart, and there was always an inexplicable feeling.

At this time, Fu'er pushed the door in and quickly closed the door.

"Miss, I checked. The fate of all the maids who committed crimes can be found out, and there is no problem. Moreover, no one disappeared 15 years ago, except 14 years ago..."

Fu'er looked at the restored skull carefully as she spoke. Why did she feel that the facial features looked familiar? Fu'er stepped forward and turned her head to look at Nian Qing. She was surprised to find, "Miss, her facial features are similar to yours. It seems."

"Ah! Ah!"

Suddenly a shrill cry came to mind, Nian Qing immediately turned her head, Zhao Nanny pointed at the skeleton and retreated step by step and screamed.Fu'er was so frightened that she almost lost her courage, but she saw Zhao Mama shaking her head and saying, "It's her, how could it be her! Missing!"

Nian Qing stepped forward, held Zhao Nanny's hand, and said in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, it's fine. Who is she?"

Zhao Nanny took a deep breath, as if she had just regained her focus, she glanced at Nian Qing, and was a little hard to speak.In the past 14 years, Concubine Yun has been neglected by the prince for 14 years. Everyone said that she had an unclean elder sister, and that her elder sister ran away with someone, so Concubine Yun has been living in a world that is hated by others.Mother Zhao is also distressed, how can she speak.

"Mother Zhao, is it the former second wife?" Fu'er had suspected that there was only one person who was blank in Baiguan's office, and that was the former second wife, Aunt Yun's sister, the favored aunt who was said to have eloped with others. .

Nian Qing was shocked when she heard this, her body couldn't help trembling, her aunt, mother's sister, was killed 14 years ago!Why is it possible for someone to hide the truth? Why, all these years, my mother has innocently shouldered the neglect of her father, the bullying of her concubine, and the disdain of her servants. She, Duanmu Nianqing, was also starved to death.

The palace is indeed dark, but they don't want to be so outrageous.

She took off her gloves, feeling a little dazed.But she forced herself to regain her strength, "Fu'er, send Mother Zhao back."

Tomorrow, she has to investigate in person, and it must be a secret investigation. Who was the last person to see Auntie?The backyard must not be the first crime scene, and the porcelain must have been placed in the house, so who was responsible for moving the corpse?Is this person dead or alive?Also, there is no evidence for this matter yet, and the father cannot be known.

Thinking about it this way, she wanted to investigate from the people in Yicui Garden, and also from the people around the princess.

Seeing that everyone in the house had left, she put the skeleton away, put it in an empty box, and locked it.The paper that Fuer had just recorded was also put away.

In the early morning of the next day, everyone in the yard started to move. The maids didn't know what happened in front of Ting Yuxuan yesterday, but they knew that they were going to move to Ting Yuxuan today, which is a ventilated and comfortable place.

Nian Qing left Fu'er in the room to direct, she picked up the melon seeds on the table and walked out.

Along the way, she knocked the melon seeds, but her mind kept spinning, so she couldn't help but throw the melon seed shells everywhere.Unknowingly, my footsteps have come to the courtyard that has been abandoned for a long time. This seems to be the courtyard where my aunt lived before, called Lanxinlou.

"Miss San, you take this bag, don't throw melon seeds casually."

Nian Qing held the cloth bag in astonishment, and looked at the mother with some shame. This mother looked familiar, she thought for a while, and then remembered that it was Mother Lian who asked Nanny Zhao to put her name on the blacklist a few days ago.

It is said that she used to be the personal maid beside the princess, and also the maid of the room.If the concubine favors her, she can also be promoted to be an aunt. How could she be demoted to be a housewife?

"Mother Lian, why don't you demote?"

Even my mother stopped sweeping her hands, and continued to sweep, "It's hard to guess the thoughts of the superiors. Even if they didn't make mistakes, they made mistakes."

Nian Qing frowned, even her mother seemed to have something to say.She squinted her eyes and made a bold assumption. Perhaps, even her mother knew something. Didn't she just show her love to herself when the prince announced that he would build Tingyu Pavilion behind Yicui Garden?Thinking of this, Nian Qing's heart trembled, and he secretly made a bet, "Yesterday, a skeleton was dug up in the backyard of Yicui Garden. This skeleton is..."
