The prince of the highest poison, you must serve

Chapter 8 Ting Lan's Burial

Xie Lingqin will not let Ting Lan die in vain, let alone let her body not rest in peace.

However, when Xie Lingqin arrived in the backyard, he did not see Ting Lan's body as he wished.

"Where's Ting Lan?" Xie Lingqin asked the guard at the side.

The guard was suddenly surprised by Xie Lingbi's cold words, but he quickly reacted and said respectfully, "Back to the eldest lady, the second aunt told me before that Ting Lan colluded with outsiders and harmed the second lady. , I just don’t want to lose the face of the General’s Mansion.” The guard was speaking, and it was in broad daylight, but he felt cold all over his body, especially Xie Lingqin, who was opposite, just stood there lightly, like a blade of ice Frontal wind.

"I said, where is Ting Lan's body?" Xie Lingqin continued to ask, her brows and eyes darkened.

The guard didn't dare to be negligent, and replied, "Second Yiniang said that her body cannot be left in the backyard, and she has just sent someone to carry it away and send it out of the mansion."

Xie Lingqin's eyes darkened, "Where did you send it?"

"Miss Hui, I just sent her away. She said she was going to send her to a mass grave." The guard seemed to have some sympathy for Ting Lan, and his voice dropped a little.

Xie Lingqin's expression shrank, and he turned and left.

She knew that the mass grave was outside the city, but at this time, she had injuries on her body. Although the other party gave her a lot of good medicine when she was rescued last night, the injuries were still there after all. She was already weak, if she followed her out of the city, not to mention it would arouse General Xie's suspicion, and she would be doomed if she managed to get her life back.

Is there any way to leave Ting Lan's body without making people suspect her, and make people feel sympathetic to her...

After a pause, Xie Lingqin suddenly looked towards the courtyard to the east, his eyes lit up.

Not long after, the originally quiet General's Mansion was suddenly startled by screams and calls for help.

"Fire, fire, fire..."

"Come on someone."

"Yes...it's Missy's yard."

"Quick, report to the master."

"Well, how could there be a fire in broad daylight..."

There were voices of discussion interspersed with trampling footsteps, and the flames almost burned half of the yard.

When General Xie arrived with the housekeeper, Xie Lingqin was helplessly walking out of the back room by the servant girl. Although the fire was extinguished by the servants in time, the scene was still in ruins, and the smell of embers in the air was overwhelming. It made Xie Lingqin, whose face was pale at this time, extremely pitiful.

"What's going on?" General Xie looked at Xie Lingqin who was covered in smoke, his voice changed from high to low, how gentle it was.

Xie Lingqin's eyes turned red when he heard General Xie's words, "Going back to father, my daughter doesn't know, my daughter wanted to go to see Ting Lan's body, after all, she is my servant girl, but I heard the servant say that she After being sent away, I felt sad, so I thought about going back to rest early, but I didn't sleep for long, and I smelled a strange smell, and when I got up, I found that the house was full of fire..."

Xie Lingqin didn't say anything when she said this, she was obviously aggrieved, but she bit her lips to keep her tears from falling, this kind of forbearance and general understanding seemed a little bit in General Xie's eyes gratified.

After Xie Lingyu's incident, General Xie's mood was not good, and she was on fire here again, seeing the mess, if she cried again at this time, it would undoubtedly add fuel to the fire, digging her own grave, Xie Lingqin Knowing this well, she purposely acted like this. However, she seemed to be stating the truth, and soon, General Xie's complexion changed.

Xie Lingqin just went to see Xie Lingyu, and Xie Lingyu lost her composure... and as Lingqin said, she went to see Ting Lan's body, but she didn't see it, and when she came back, she didn't sleep for a long time before she caught fire...

The more General Xie thought about it, the darker his complexion became.

"Father, Ting Lan is also my daughter's maid after all. Now that she is dead, I want to see her." While the iron was hot, Xie Lingqin glanced at General Xie's expression from the corner of her eye and spoke softly.

The facial expression, tone of voice, and mastering the score are not bad, coupled with the pitiful and helpless face at this time...

After all, it was her own daughter, and Xie Lingqin was sure that the second aunt had not asked General Xie for instructions on taking Ting Lan's body away.

really.

"Give Ting Lan's body to the eldest lady, and you will help to deal with it." General Xie ordered to the butler behind him.

Hearing the words, the housekeeper nodded immediately, and gave instructions behind him.

"The yard is already burning, so you can stay in Mingxiang Pavilion temporarily." Afterwards, General Xie waved his hand and sighed.

Xie Lingqin nodded, "Thank you, father."

In one sentence, it was full of gratitude, and there was even more excitement, which made General Xie feel stagnant and felt guilty, but it was only for a moment, and it seemed to pass away.

For her daughter, it seems that she really dislikes her.

Leaving aside what happened before, let's just talk about the current fire, and don't say that the truth of the fire will be found out and justice will be given to her?
Although Xie Lingqin set the fire himself, the father's attitude still makes Xie Lingqin unworthy of being the original owner. Fortunately, you were not burned to death.

The housekeeper's efficiency was still very high, and not long after, he sent someone to tell her that Ting Lan's body was in the backyard, and told her very deeply not to say anything about it.

Of course Xie Lingqin knew not to say anything, it was General Xie who didn't want to say anything.

After all, not to mention the private meeting between my daughter and the virtuous king, it hurt my face. Moreover, the eldest daughter's maid died, and if it was spread, it would be greatly detrimental to his official reputation and the reputation of the general's mansion. .

However, Jing Zhaoyin brought so many people with him last night, as well as the old woman who beat and abused her. Although he doesn't know what happened now, it is too difficult to think about it without revealing anything.

That night, Xie Lingqin buried Ting Lan with the help of the housekeeper. Although he was in a hurry, Xie Lingqin was a killer in his previous life, and he had learned a lot. , I also know a little about geography.

Therefore, Ting Lan's burial was not perfunctory.

"Ting Lan, don't worry, the lady will avenge you. When the day comes, I will definitely find you another grave with better geomantic omen." Xie Lingqin didn't say these words, but only gave After burning the last handful of paper money, Ting Lan turned and left.

The housekeeper accompanying him looked at Xie Lingqin, the fine lines on his face trembled, showing sympathy.

When Xie Lingqin returned to the General's Mansion, it was already sunset.

However, she still couldn't calm down. Hearing that Ting Lan's body was buried well by Xie Lingqin, Second Auntie came to Xingshi to question her.

The second aunt was dressed in a rose-colored veil, and although she was charming, she was dignified and elegant. She raised her eyes and looked at Xie Lingqin. Although she didn't like Xie Lingqin very much, she still had an impeccable softness on her face.

"Second Aunt, it's getting late, what's your urgent matter?" Xie Lingqin was wrapped in a robe, obviously not in a high mood.

The second aunt also sighed, "It's all right, I just think that the eldest lady is really lucky. She slept for two days after sleeping, and she didn't even know that the maid died. There may be something strange about it." .”

The second aunt did not have doubts about why Xie Lingqin knew about the relationship between King Xian and Lingyu. Anyway, even if she knew about it, she would definitely not tell it.

However, these things are too strange, she will not just let it go.

Hearing this, Xie Lingqin looked puzzled at the appreciative eyes of the second aunt, "Second aunt said this, it seems a bit strange, obviously I just fell asleep, why did my father wake up? Let’s just say I slept for two days, and Ting Lan…Ting Lan still…”
