Making up my mind, I squatted on the ground and reached out my hand to close the dead man's eyes.

Indeed, just as this servant had said, it was impossible to close one's eyes. The pair of dead fish-like eyes bulged outwards, and with the blood seeping around the eyes to form a purplish-red vein, it looked especially frightening.

Sandalwood's skin was smooth and cold, like a dead fish on a chopping board.

The eyes bulge, the tongue sticks out, the veins bleed, the skin is pale, I suddenly have a thought.

"Go get a rattan stool!" I commanded the old woman, who was standing far to the side.

The woman looked back at Mama Ge, who was standing even further away, and saw her nod before she turned back to the house.

Ever since her mother came, the rules in her room had become more serious. Everyone had to follow the rules and regulations, and passing on messages became much more difficult.

Seeing that the old woman had placed a rattan chair next to the female corpse, I pointed at the sandalwood on the ground and said, "Put her on the chair and suppress her with all your might!"

Perhaps it's because my request is too shocking, all the servants looked at each other, standing there and not daring to make a move.

"Miss …" Girl, she's already … If he went, why did he have to be like this … "Since you've disturbed her, why don't you just let her rest in peace?" Seeing that no one dared to answer, Mama Ge braced herself and came out to talk to me.

Surely she wasn't trying to say anything, but torture?

On the surface, the sandalwood incense seemed to be drowned, but all sorts of things matched the symptoms of being strangled or suffocated to death. Those who suffocated to death would either have their faces turn purple or pale. Some would stick out their tongues, while others would stare with bloodshot eyes. If she had been drowned to death in front of her, her lungs would not have been filled with water. If she had been drowned to death by water, then she would have been humiliated before in her previous life.

"Even I can't make you move?" I smiled as I stroked my sleeves. "Do you still need me to invite mother over?"

"Go!" "Go quickly!" Unlike mother Feng, mother Ge didn't have a sharp tongue. Seeing that I was in a rage, she hurriedly urged the granny beside me: "Hurry and do as Miss says!"

Sure enough, two bold women rolled up their sleeves and came forward to move the corpses.

"Yes, press!" I pointed to a spot on Sandalwood's back and instructed the two mothers.

He pressed on it for a while and only a little bit of water came out, but it turned out to be nothing.

If a person fell into the water with their breath and struggled for help, their heart, lungs and stomach would be filled with large amounts of water. Now that the sandalwood had been heavily pressed down, only a few streams of water had seeped out from his mouth and nose. Clearly, there was no water stored in his internal organs. As for the wounds on the corner of his eyes, although they were split open, there were no traces of blood. As for the wounds on the corner of his eyes, although they were split open, there were no blood.

"Tear off her collar!" I pointed to the red button-down dress on the sandalwood.

The servants all looked like monsters to me.

The dead are the big ones, and I tortured them first, then I stripped them of their clothes. It's no wonder these servants look at me like that.

I couldn't be bothered to explain to them. I went up and undid the clothes myself.

Sure enough, there was a thin and narrow red mark on the sandalwood neck. Moreover, this mark was very unusual. The two sides were deep and shallow, and it didn't look like the kind of sweat towel a normal person would use.

After confirming my guess, I helped sandalwood put on her clothes before turning around and asking, "Is Mother Song still not back yet?"

"Your servant is here!" Mother Song quickly brought two old women who were holding things with their hands behind their back, and said with a smile, "Young miss, everything is ready!"

"Then let's go!" I sighed and turned back to look at sandalwood before instructing Lan Ling, "Go back and bring fifty taels to her family. Buy them all up and give them to her!"

When he died, he was still wearing the clothes that had been replaced by others. He was indeed hateful, but he was also a person who had suffered many hardships.

Lan Bing and Song Ma looked at me with complicated expressions. After a long while, they finally agreed to my words.

"What's wrong?" After exiting my mother's yard, I hurriedly pulled Green Queen to the wall and muttered, "Why are all of you so pale? Is there something that I don't know about?"

Lan Lingyun sighed and whispered in my ear, "Miss, I'm afraid you don't have anywhere to give me your fifty taels!"

"What do you mean? Don't you think she has parents and brothers? "

"Of course she does. Elder Sister sandalwood had helped the Old Ancestor manage the candles in the buddhist hall. When she reached her age, she was picked up by her parents. Who would have thought that after only a month of marriage, a huge fire would break out in their family. Their parents and siblings, as well as their second sister-in-law who was pregnant and their two-year-old nephew were both burned to death at home. When her husband saw that she had lost her family's support, he would often scold her. Sometimes he would even hit her after drinking wine, saying that she wouldn't be able to lay an egg even if she spent her money. Old Madam Ye, who was in the washroom, pitied her and made her come often to help wash some clothes and earn a few copper coins. She didn't expect her man to be caught selling horses with someone else. Her family couldn't get any ransom, so they were killed by the mounted gangsters. "They all say that sandalwood's elder sister is the 'klick', and anyone who comes close to her will meet with misfortune. Even Madam Ye doesn't dare to let her enter the mansion, and there will be no further news of her …"

Recalling the beautiful snow-white face that was just lying on the ground, it was hard for me to connect this experience.

No wonder no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't find him! A little girl who has already married, her name has already disappeared from the name list and she is also working in the buddhist hall, how would I know of her existence. Even though she had lost her name, she often came to the mansion to help. Even though she had come a few times recently, no one would suspect her.

From this, it could be seen that the person who set the trap had put his heart into it.

"Since that's the case, let's add another thirty silver taels to buy her a thin coffin, and bury her!" I sighed.

I don't know who I should hand over the matter of Zhou Baumu's absence. After pondering for a while, I continued, "You can go and tell Mother Du that Du Shouxin will help me with this matter tonight."

"Miss, the third elder of the Du Family, he …"

The Du Family's Old Third is the most unreliable, I'm afraid that before the sandalwood is buried in the ground, he will make everyone know that my Yang Family's Eldest Miss asked him to do things for me.

But that's what I want, to be known to everyone, even to the entire city! Only in this way would the person behind him be willing to show himself. She had millions of ways to kill this girl without making a sound, yet she used such a belt to strangle sandalwood, leaving a big scar on her neck before throwing her into the well behind her mother's house, clearly waiting for others to discover her.

It's like a riddle. If you don't take the next step, you'll never know what the riddle is.

Furthermore, even if I forcefully suppress this matter, with so many people seeing this female corpse today and some even personally witnessing her being fished out from the well, how could I possibly block such a leisurely crowd?

That person clearly knew that he wouldn't have acted so arrogantly if he had agreed to this earlier. Since that's the case, why should I waste my effort in concealing such an ugly matter?

After making up my mind, I wasn't in the mood to explain the twists and turns to Lan Lan. All I said was, "Just do as I say!" He then led the people behind him back to the room with the evidence in their hands.

When I turned the corner, I saw Wuer anxiously standing in front of the room, looking left and right, looking for something. When he saw me, his eyes lit up. "Miss, you're back!"

"What happened?"

"Madam insisted on leaving. Big Sister Lu Kui couldn't stop her anymore. She wanted me to find you!" Wu'er's forehead was beaded with sweat.

"Alright, I understand. Hurry up and go back to work!" I smilingly patted Wu-Er's head, took out a piece of Western Crystal Sugar from my bag and gave it to her, which made the little girl happily run away.

On the other side, her mother was sitting on an armchair with a cold expression. She didn't even drink a cup of tea as she stared angrily at the leader of the group, while her mother stood in the middle of the room, advising her mistress that this wasn't the case, as she didn't feel the need to force Lu Kou into a corner.

"Miss is back! Miss is back! " When the woman behind him called out, the Green Bandits let out a sigh of relief, smiling as they commanded the others to make way for me.

"Do you know this?" Behind her, the two mothers opened the bags and showed the contents of the boxes to their mother.

It contained forty to fifty pills of the same size and color, and also had the same smell as the Reincarnation Pill.

"What's inside is... "It's pretending to be …" His mother pointed at the box, her face ashen, but no one could tell. She shivered for a long time as if she was about to pass out from anger.

"Are you trying to say that this wasn't what it originally contained, but something else?" I smiled as I lowered my head to stroke the embroidery on the corner of my sleeve. "And I don't know when you unknowingly lost your bag!"

Even until now, I was still unable to determine who was the mastermind behind this matter. This made me feel a little angry. However, she had made such an ingenious trap for Mother. If I were to go around arguing on Mother's behalf, it would be difficult for Mother's reputation to be washed clean. Furthermore, I already had a reason to restrain Mother in the courtyard, so why wouldn't I do that?

Seeing that my mother was lost in thought, I added another dose of food, laughing. "Do you know that someone drowned in the well in your backyard?"

Even his mother stared with wide eyes. Her mother was so shocked that she couldn't hide it. She grabbed the handle of the armchair and asked, "Who is it?"

"So it was a girl called sandalwood in Grandmother's courtyard!"

"Sandalwood?" His mother turned around to look at his mother in confusion, while his mother also looked confused.

If it was really his mother's doing, then it was too detailed!

I was not for a moment more certain than I was now that it had not come from my mother, but that it was all about her.

"It was a girl who used to be a servant girl in my grandmother's courtyard. "Dressed in red with injuries at the corner of his eyes and his hair in disarray, he is exactly like the ghost that scared Aunt Chen and drowned in your well." I carefully observed every change in my mother's expression.

Apart from shock and anger, there was nothing else.

"Fu …" "Madam!" After muttering to herself for a while, her mother's eyes rolled over and she fainted. She was tightly hugged by her mother.

"Go!" "Go and invite the Huang Lang next door over!" Seeing that my mother had fainted, I was afraid that something bad would happen to her. When my father returned to the manor, it would be hard for me to report to him. I hurriedly ordered the servants at the entrance.

"Yes sir!" A quick-witted young maid hurriedly went out to welcome him.

"No need! No need! Madam has woken up! " Mother Feng, who was inside, followed her mother's lead. Soon, her mother slowly woke up.

"Even though you have woken up, let the doctor take a look at your pulse!" I smiled and didn't order the maidservant to come back. She stood at the doorstep to enter, but I didn't know whether to retreat or not.

"No need!" The mother waved her hand and got up from the stool with the help of her mother.

You don't need me to save you the trouble! I was happy to be free.

Since I had already asked him, there was no point in keeping my mother. I smiled and said, "Since my mother is not feeling well, please accompany her to rest! I can see that your courtyard isn't peaceful either, which is bad for your recovery. Grandmother has prepared eight mothers to help you guard the courtyard's gate, so you should take them with you when you return! "

His mother's expression changed the moment she heard that. She lowered her head and thought for a while. Then, she unexpectedly said, "That's good!" He held her hand and left.

"Miss, do you think Madam is a little strange?" After sending mother off, I hastily sent everyone off before bringing the two maids back to the room. When I think about the hand that touched the dead, I didn't feel much then, but now I feel a little scared, and I just let the two of them get some water to wash my hands and face.

I glanced at Lan Li, who was asking the question. I took the towel from the Green Bull and wiped my face as I asked, "What's wrong with that?"

"Madam has always been healthy and healthy. Recently, her physique seems to be very weak! Moreover, who would faint and not even a doctor would be invited to take a look? Even if our slave is sick, our house will invite a doctor to come and see her. The strangest thing is that Madam has always disliked people messing with her. How come she accepted the mistress' mother this time? "

While applying the perfume paste on the target, I smiled and said, "Because she needs some time to rest. Since I've sent people to protect her safety and also let her work in the inner area, she would naturally be happy to go with the flow."

"You need some time?" Not only Lan Ling, even the Green Bandits started to interrupt.

I smiled as I looked at the two maidservants. Then, I placed the target of the scented ointment into their hands and walked straight into the screen.

Although it was autumn, the afternoon was very hot. I walked around in the sun for a long time, interrogating and examining the body. My undershirt was soaked through, and when I sat down, I could feel the sweat sliding down my calves.

The two maidservants came in to help me change after cleaning up, but I had already taken off my clothes and tied them myself with the top of my snow-white turtleneck.

Seeing how the two girls were eagerly looking at me, I continued to smile and said, "That's right!" I suppose she'll need ten months of peace and quiet. "
