C28 Floating Corpse

"Ah!" The tranquility of the morning was ruthlessly cut by a sharp scream.

A little girl who was sweeping the floor was trembling in fear as she screamed incessantly.

After her shout drew everyone's attention, she could not utter a single word in response to the steward's question. She could only shake her hand as she pointed at the lotus pond.

Above the lotus flower pool, there was a misty mist, and between the red flowers and the green leaves, there was a hint of azure color mixed in.

Astonishingly, there was a female floating corpse floating in the water. The female corpse's hands were wide open as it floated face down on the water. It was obvious that it was dead.

Fourth Master and Su Peisheng also arrived, Fourth Master ordered for the body to be salvaged.

The body was brought out. Fourth Master asked the servant to identify the body. The kitchen wife recognized one of her servants, Bi Yun, who was making pastries.

This Bi Yun was sent over by Ministry of Internal Affairs and had already been in the Palace for five years.

According to the old woman in charge, her personality was usually sharp and forceful, so even though she had a good appearance, she didn't dare to place her by her master's side.

Because she had good cooking skills, she was put in the pastry shop to make pastries for the masters.

However, she was not an honest person. She would always sharpen her head and move closer to her master.

While she was speaking, a little girl rushed over and started crying loudly towards Bi Yun's corpse.

Seeing Fourth Master frown, Su Peisheng hurriedly went up to scold the little girl.

"How dare you!" He dared to cry in front of his master! "Who are you and what is your relationship with Bi Yun?"

That little girl was startled by Su Peisheng's scolding and quickly kowtowed to Fourth Master to apologize.

"This servant knows her wrongs!" Please forgive me! "Your servant, Bi Xin, entered the mansion with Bi Yun and stayed in the same room as you. Your servant had an argument with her for some reason yesterday afternoon, and when your servant returned home late at night, she had already fallen asleep. Your servant did not expect her temperament to be so great." As Bi Xin spoke, she sobbed silently.

"Why did you quarrel with her?" Fourth Master frowned.

"Servant …" "Your servant …" Bi Xin was slightly hesitant.

"How dare you!" This grandpa has asked you a question. Why don't you hurry up and call for the truth? " Su Peisheng shouted.

Bi Xin was frightened and quickly replied, "Baroness heard that your servant's mother was very sick and gave me ten silver. I originally planned to send it home when I took a rest.

Who knew that the next day when this servant stood up, she discovered that the silver had disappeared. This matter was related to her mother's life, so this servant wanted to see the burden of the sisters in the same room.

Only Bi Xin refused to give up, so this servant took it away. Indeed, she found the 10 taels of silver that this servant had lost. This servant started arguing with her on the spot.

Who knew that she wouldn't admit that it was her who stole me? She even said that it was bestowed by her master, and even asked which master she was from, but she just couldn't explain it clearly.

If I knew that she had such a temper, I wouldn't have said those hurtful words. " Bi Xin covered her face as she sobbed.

Fourth Master narrowed his eyes and looked at her. Seeing that her sadness didn't seem to be fake, he believed her temporarily. He scanned through the crowd and saw a servant girl in coarse maid attire looking very panicky and guilty.

"Come here!" Fourth Master pointed at the maidservant.

The maidservant saw Fourth Master pointing at her, she was so scared that she kneeled down and said in panic: "I really didn't steal anything …" Your servant didn't harm anyone … This servant didn't do it on purpose … "I picked up the silver …"

That maidservant spoke incoherently, but Fourth Master still understood clearly.

"You said that you picked up Bi Xin's silver, but you refused to admit it. Coincidentally, Bi Yun had money, so Bi Xin mistook it for Bi Yun stealing from her and quarreling with her. Because of that, Bi Yun found fault with her?" Fourth Master asked harshly.

"Yes …" "Yes …" Bi Yao said in a mosquito-like voice.

"Bi Yao!" So it's you! It was you who framed Bi Yun! Bi Yun, I'm sorry! It's all my fault! I was the one who wronged you, why are you so stupid? Bi Xin felt guilty and regretful as he cried while holding the corpse.

"This is all my fault, I will compensate you with my life right now!" Bi Xin rushed excitedly towards the pond.

"Stop her!" Ye Zixuan shouted.

The guards hastened to stop her.

"Why are you here?"

When Fourth Master saw Ye Zixuan, he couldn't help but frown. He didn't want her to know about this mess.

"Greetings to this lord!" I just arrived too. "

She had been watching the development from afar quietly until the system issued the quest to uncover the truth of Bi Yun's death.

The reward for this mission was quite high, it was actually 50 contribution points. Ye Zixuan hesitated for a moment before accepting it. After all, high rewards were rare.

While she was recuperating, she could not come in contact with outsiders, so there was no chance for her to earn merit points.

What she lacked the most were merit value points, so even though the quest might be risky, she still accepted it.

Ever since the system had issued the quest that almost killed Ye Zixuan, it had become more human, no longer forcing her to accept it.

"Go back and take a good rest. Don't worry about these trivial matters."

Fourth Master said with concern.

"Master, this is not a small matter, people's lives are in danger. I can't ignore it. " Ye Zixuan retorted in a low voice. She then turned around and said to Bi Xin, "You don't have to blame yourself. Bi Yun wasn't killed by you. She was killed by someone."

Like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, everyone stared in astonishment at the shocked Ye Zixuan.
