When he returned to the yard, Ningzhu had already found out who was the one who bought incense and paper, and also brought the lunch back.

Meng Hui opened the food box and saw that the ever-changing porridge and pickles were still a bit cold and hard, but there was one more meat and one soup than in the morning, and it seemed that he could at least eat enough.

Of course, Cui Yuzhen can live, and she can also live. She has experienced this annoying life. She has only been in college for a few years and was raised by the warm-hearted canteen aunt. She also worked odd jobs and earned some living expenses when she worked part-time. Gone are the hard years.

Ningzhu ate it in advance, and now he stayed in the house to serve him. Ninglu returned to his house to drink thinner porridge and ate colder and harder mixed grain steamed buns.

Ningzhu took a spoon and put a bowl of soup for Meng Hui, picked out white and greasy fat from the plate, and grabbed the edible lean meat and placed it on the plate in front of Meng Hui.

Meng Hui turned out to be served to eat, and she felt uncomfortable all over. But she didn't plan to talk about the principle of "born equality" to try to overthrow the feudal system and lead the maid to the road of freedom.

Every world has its own operating rules, and she feels that it should not be touched.

Ningzhu picked up a chopstick, Meng Hui took a chopstick, swallowed it a few times before she heard Ningzhu whisper: "The one who bought the paper and fragrance is Ling'er next to the second girl. She told the servant Sanfu, who was beside the eldest son, to buy it outside."

"It's Cui Yuwei's man, indeed." Meng Hui responded vaguely.

Ningzhu didn't ask her much about what she expected, but continued: "Miss Liu is the daughter-in-law of the doorman Mr. Qin. She saw Sanfu carrying two paper bags, one big and one small, with yellow paper inside, and the small one wrapped in long fragrance inside. He handed over the things to Ling'er at the door of the outer courtyard."

"Miss Liu spread a gossip with the mothers in the kitchen, saying that Sanfu and Ling'er had already gotten together. Ling'er mostly asked Sanfu to buy paper and incense by paying tribute to her parents. One by one, the two of them could meet each other twice."

Ling'er gave birth to a child at home. Her mother had a good relationship with Aunt Li. Her father was in charge of flowers and plants in the outer courtyard. A few years ago, the couple had a fight, and her father accidentally beat her to death. In order not to cause trouble for the mansion, she threw herself into the well and died simply.

The family of three is a slave. Logically, Ling'er should not have done these taboo things in the master's house, but every family has dead relatives, so there are people in every household doing this quietly.

Wang doesn't believe in things that are gods and ghosts, and doesn't avoid them much. She usually turns a blind eye to this matter. As long as she is honest and obedient and cleans up afterwards, she is too lazy to tear down these platforms.

Ling'er wants to buy paper and incense, but it is indeed possible that as Mrs. Liu said, it is using sacrifices to her parents as an excuse. However, the ultimate goal is not to express her feelings to Sanfu, but to help Cui Yuwei do things.

At present, Aunt Li, Cui Yuwei, and Cui Dadu are already involved in the murder case. They only have to clarify the cause, find evidence, and distinguish the real murderer, and then they can finish the work perfectly.

"Care it, don't eat it anymore. Let's go to my elder sister's yard." Meng Hui put down her chopsticks and decided to fight quickly.

"What are you going to the big girl's yard to do?" Ningzhu said curiously, "The second girl seems... a little suspicious. Don't the girl report directly to the wife?"

"Not busy for the time being," Meng Hui said slowly, "Cui Yuwei went to burn paper, but this does not mean that she is the murderer. I just sat with Ninglu for a while and she looked quite suspicious."

Meng Hui said a few simple words, Ningzhu was angry and hated after hearing this, and she took a long time to sob: "The big girl is really unfair, because such a shadowless marriage was actually regarded as a blocking stone."

"The situation has changed now. I think it's not just because of the marriage." Meng Hui told her about the encounter with Cui Da, and then said, "Cui Da knocked her big sister out. What would you do if Aunt Li or Cui Yuwei saw it?"

"The girl means that they will choose... to silence?" Ningzhu's throat was a little dry. When she said these two words, she felt a chill on her back.

As a modern person, Meng Hui has seen many murders on TV and the Internet, but she does not have the shock and fear of Ningzhu in her heart. Such calmness allows her to put aside her emotions and look at this matter in a focused and objective manner.

"No matter why he smashed people or whether he had murderous intentions, the eldest sister was just in a coma at that time. As soon as she woke up, the matter might be a mess. Although the eldest sister did not see the person who hurt her, the house was not very crowded and it was easy to find out the truth."

"When he saw him smashing people, in order not to expose this matter, he did everything and took the initiative to kill him."

Under Meng Hui's analysis, Ningzhu felt that she seemed to have seen the situation that night.

The moon shines on the bamboo branches, with sparse shadows. Along with the rustling bamboo leaves, one of them tightly pinched Cui Yuying's feet and dragged her to the fish pond along the gentle slope. The dark red blood dyed a bloody road on the mud.

"Auntie Li and Cui Yuwei are not very strong. Because of this, they are more in line with the characteristics of the murderer. Because if a man is a killer, he will choose a way that is less likely to leave traces."

"The bloody road was covered by the murderer in panic. She had just killed someone and was in a bad mood and was exhausted. But she firmly believed that this matter would not be revealed because she knew the master and his wife and knew that they could not investigate. So she was not afraid at all."

This murder is not entirely for the marriage, or to cover up Cui Da’s secret.

"I really don't understand why the eldest son hurts the eldest daughter? Even if I drank too much from Aunt Li that night, I wouldn't smash people for no reason!" Ningzhu frowned tightly, unable to figure it out.

Meng Hui himself couldn't figure it out. "To figure out this matter, we have to continue to check it down. Let's go to the elder sister's yard first and find the wish-fulfilling knot before talking about it."

Ningzhu nodded, put away the food box in a few seconds and handed it to Ninglu. He and Meng Hui went out together and headed straight to the small courtyard where Cui Yuying once lived.

There were many yellow leaves in the same simple courtyard, which seemed a little bleak when the wind blew. When I pushed open the door, the dust swam in the sun, making my vision blurred.

Meng Hui and Ningzhu found the box to store the relics and searched separately for the indigo blue Ruyi knot with three ears. Half an hour passed, and they were searched inside and outside the house, but neither of them found it.

"How come there is no...it should be taken away as a relic. Am I wrong again?" Meng Hui looked it again unwillingly, but still found nothing.

At this moment, Ningzhu suddenly thought of something and said, "Oh, when Biqing was about to leave the house, I came to deliver things to her. There seemed to be an indigo blue Ruyi knot in the package she packed at that time!"
