C274 Deer's Death
Yu Longchen and Mu Ruqing returned to their rooms. Just as they were about to rest, a commotion broke out outside.
"What's wrong?" Mu Ruqing opened the door and Lingyue stood at the door.
"Something happened to the deer." Lingyue had always liked this child the most. When she was ready to rest today, the big sister of the deer ran over.
"Quickly take me there! What happened to her?" Mu Ruqing did not think about it and pulled Lingyue out.
Yu Longchen hurriedly followed her out and went with Mu Ruqing.
When they reached the deer's room, her sisters were all waiting there but no one dared to go up.
Mu Ruqing pushed them away and the deer lay on the ground, bleeding from its mouth and nose, and a lot of blood flowed out from its head.
"Call a doctor! Quick!" Mu Ruqing panicked. This could be Uncle Xiong's granddaughter.
Yu Longchen pulled Mu Ruqing, who was going to carry the deer, and walked up first. He checked her breath and shook his head at Mu Ruqing.
The deer died, and her sisters were also crying. A few of them looked at the deer in fear. When they saw Yu Longchen and Mu Ruqing, they did not dare to make a noise.
"All of you, get out!" Lingyue was afraid of scaring the child, so she called them to the door.
Mu Ruqing squatted down to look at the deer and walked out with a gloomy face. "What happened? "
“...” The girls pushed and shoved each other. They lowered their heads and took a few steps back, not daring to raise their heads.
"Say something! Have you all become mute?! She is your sister! " Mu Ruqing pointed at the deer's corpse and bowed as she cried. "Who is it? Who did it! As long as you say it out loud, I won't blame anyone unrelated to her. "
" Princess! Wuwuwu... " This was the oldest one among the children back then. She was also the one who went to inform Lingyue, "Little Sister Lu fell from a high place and died from falling..."
"Impossible! Where did she fall from in this room? It can kill people. Tell me!" Mu Ruqing clenched her fists. Although she was angry, she could not blame anyone before the investigation was done.
Yu Longchen stood up and looked around. He saw another 11 year old child. He slowly walked outside, narrowed his eyes, and walked to the side.
"Little Sister Lu really fell down by herself. She climbed up the beam..." The elder child looked up at the beam of the room, seemingly afraid. "Princess, Little Sister Deer went, we were also very sad. But this is fate... "
"I don't believe in fate. If you say that she fell on her own, then tell me, how did the bruise on her neck come about? Could it be that she fell as well? " Mu Ruqing's mind recalled the scene where she had just met the deer and her heart began to hurt.
"Deer... Deer..." The elder child's eyes started to panic. He pinched his fingers and did not know how to answer.
"That was bullied by them!" One! A little girl stood out from the side. Her eyes were red and swollen, and her nose was red.
"Little sister, don't talk nonsense! We were raised by grandfather together, we were sisters, so what..." The elder child immediately retorted and looked at the child in blame.
"It was clearly them. The deer was doted on by Ms Lingyue and they didn't like it. That's why they bullied the deer!" The child stomped his feet and turned around to point at the two or three children behind him.
Lingyue frowned. These children were usually very obedient, how could they...
"Stand out!" Mu Ruqing sent a message and Yu Longchen was behind them again. They could not run and could only slowly walk out, but did not have the intention of admitting their mistakes.
"Is what she said true?" Mu Ruqing fiercely stared at those children. The children were afraid and knelt on the ground but did not speak.
"It's them. It's them who bullied the little deer!" That little girl wanted to rush forward and hit them but was held by Lingyue.
"Why don't you tell the truth!?" Mu Ruqing looked at the older girl and said maliciously, "You are their elder sister. Although you are not related by blood, you are still sisters!"
"Princess. The deer really climbed onto the beam and fell down. " The older girl's tears were hazy and full of grievance, "No matter how much the Princess asks, I will only say that."
" Alright, since you don't repent, it seems like you have some good looks too. Lingyue, sell her to a brothel! " Mu Ruqing said this naturally to scare her.
The older girl was indeed afraid, but she did not give in. "Thank you, Your Highness, for taking care of us sisters. Today, Your Highness is going to send me away, I have no complaints."
"No, Sister Wang Fei! Elder Sister is innocent. It was us... We who bullied Little Deer that she climbed onto the beam." The girl who was dragged out ran up and knelt in front of the elder girl. She kowtowed and admitted her mistake, "Eldest Sister Wang Fei, if you want to sell it, then sell it to us!"
"What? Are you afraid?" Mu Ruqing stomped heavily in front of the children. "Where did the deer make you feel uncomfortable? He actually wanted to force her to death? "
"It's our fault that we were blinded by greed. It's all our fault." The children seemed to be very scared. They were so flustered that they could not say anything.
"Speak! If you lie, you know the consequences." Mu Ruqing pointed at the youngest child.
The eldest child raised his head slightly. "Since the Princess is scaring us, why not sell us all!"
"Ha, you caused the death of your own sister and you are still so righteous." Mu Ruqing twisted her fingers, so bewitching that it made people horrified, "This is the first time I have seen it."
"Why did the Princess only ask what they did to the deer and not what the deer did to them? Why did the Princess only ask what they did to the deer and not what the deer did to them?" Another little girl stood up, her words fierce.
"What did you do?" Lingyue was a little annoyed. She also liked this child, but she did not know why she came out to stir up trouble.
"Ms Lingyue, there are some things that need to be explained clearly." The girl did not care about Lingyue stopping her, "It was because the little deer was spoiled first. Clearly, the Princess treated us the same, but she took up her own age. She was doted on by Ms Lingyue and robbed of the sisters' belongings, whether it was the hairpins or clothes. Since the sisters refused to give it to her, she secretly broke it. When she asked her, she refused to admit it, so she started to cry. She said that she wanted Ms Lingyue to make the decision for her. "
" Princess, you can ask Ms Lingyue if it was so many times that the deer went to cry. Ms Lingyue felt her heart ache when she heard how her sisters bullied her. She went to take a look. But no one bullied her. " These were the children who were pointed out to bully the little deer.
Mu Ruqing looked at Lingyue. Lingyue thought for a while and nodded. There were indeed a few times when the little deer said that its clothes were cut and broken. When she went over to take a look, she said that those children bullied her. And every time, it was not the same child.
"Little deer, she is still young. Originally, we had to bear with her. But yesterday, Ms Lingyue gave me a hairpin. She likes it and wants to snatch it from me. I didn't give it to her. She pinched her neck and there were a few bruises. She threatened me, saying that if I don't give it to her, then say that we did it. I also gave it to her." It was still the children who were mentioned as skincare deer. "If the Princess doesn't believe me, you can go and take a look at the cabinet of the deer. If the hairpin isn't there, we can also take out the clothes that she cut out for the Princess to take a look. "
"Lingyue, you go." Mu Ruqing frowned. She did not believe that a small deer could do such a thing.
Lingyue went down and Yu Longchen also listened by the side. His thoughts were similar to Mu Ruqing's.
"You guys are in the same room. Do you know about these things?" Mu Ruqing looked at the other children.
The child who had been silent since the beginning nodded silently. Only the little girl who pointed out that she was bullying the little deer child flew into a rage. "They are lying! The little deer did not bully them!"
Yu Longchen grabbed the child's sleeve and did not let her rush over to hit him.
