Reborn Black Lotus can read minds

Seeing that the person was almost stunned with fright, Shen Yuan waved, and Ahe began to slowly pull the rope upwards. With the help of the windlass, the leverage principle saved a lot of effort.

Xingren was pulled up, his whole body was soaked, he was shivering on the ground with cold, and his lips were so pale that there was no trace of blood.

Shen Yuan said expressionlessly: "Ah He, take the cloth off her mouth."

Ahe stepped forward and removed the cloth from Xingren's mouth. A cold air came out of her mouth, followed by bad blood from her chest.

"Please...please, please let me go...let me go..." Xing Xing's voice has long been mute, and she has already finished speaking these words. It cost her half her life.

Shen Yuan stepped forward, held Xing Xing's wrist, and said in a tight voice: "Why did you break the lock of the woodshed and frame the wind chime?"

"We are all fifth young ladies...I have no intention of harming her...We are all servants, and you...understand me, right..."

Hearing Xing Xing's almost begging tone, Shen Yuan sneered: "Yes, it's just a servant. It's just a dog. Why do you want to help her kill people?"

Shen Yuan's eyes were slightly cold, and those eyes seemed to burn all the almonds, "You were the one who pushed me into the water, right?"

Xingren's eyes were wide open and bloodshot. Although her throat hurt terribly, she still tried her best to deny it: "No! No! It wasn't me who pushed you into the water! Miss Wu only asked me to break the lock of the woodshed and say nothing else. I don’t have to worry about anything..."

Shen Yuan closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "Oh~ it was indeed her. In order to create a time difference, she actually sent two people to do different things for her at different times.

thing. "

She laughed so hard that her almonds froze, "It's so stupid. What I hate the most is stupid people. Stupid people can't live long."

Shen Yuan glanced at Xing Xing, "Did you write the expose letter?"

Xing Xing's brain was suffocated, as if he had just escaped from the edge of danger and fell into another danger.

"Miss Wu forced me to write...Every word I wrote was read by her. I don't know what happened!"

"I guessed it, you're not that good either. The handwriting does look a lot like mine," Shen Yuan continued to laugh, her voice drawling slowly, "That's a really good imitation~"

Xing Xing was praised, but her expression seemed to be struck by lightning.

"...Fifth Miss asked me to turn over your contract of sale and look at what's written...I didn't mean to harm you..."

The maid Shen Yuan has been with Song and Yuan Dynasties for many years and can basically read and write, so she wrote every word in the sale contract herself.

At that time, she expected that after Song Yuanshen became famous, he would come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to redeem her life, but she waited for several years, and in the end, what she waited for was for him to abandon her and turn around to embrace another woman.

"Okay, tell me," Shen Yuan looked at Xing Xing, "How come the deed of prostitution is in your lady's hands?"

Xingren was slightly startled. She had never thought about this problem before, "I don't know... clearly."

Shen Yuan stared at her: "Also, shouldn't a young lady who has not left the palace not be able to leave the house or step out of the second door? How did your lady find out that Feng Ling left the house privately? Could it be that she was also outside at the time?"

The biting evening wind made Xingren tremble all over, "On April [-]th... that day, the lady only said that she went out to buy rouge... a ya

I didn’t bring my servant girl with me either... It was about noon when the lady came back from outside... I don’t know her specific whereabouts! "

"Does she usually go out to take care of people?" Shen Yuan asked.

"I bring it with me most of the time. On that day, Miss said she just wanted to go shopping at the rouge shop alone and didn't want anyone to bother her."

Shen Yuan was thoughtful, she lifted Xing Xing's chin and spoke softly.

"Do you know why I didn't kill you?"

Xingren knelt on the ground and shook his head vigorously.

"I like smart people," Shen Yuan clasped Xing Xing's wet shoulders, "But if I find that you have become stupid, then I may not like you anymore!"

Xingren kowtows harder: "I understand! I understand! I will never reveal a word!"

She called herself a slave to her and showed absolute surrender. Shen Yuan was very satisfied.

"What happened today..."

Before Shen Yuan finished speaking, Xing Xing had already consciously taken over the topic: "Nothing happened today, I didn't see anything."

"Deed of Sale..."

Xing Xing was about to cry: "No third person will know! I will take it out quietly and bring it to you!"

Shen Yuan was slightly pleased: "You'd better keep your word. Do you know what's more stupid than a stupid person?"

She leaned closer to Xingren, her voice was very low.

"He's a smartass."

She spoke very slowly, like the whisper of an evil spirit.

"It's just that in my eyes, smart people are usually dead people..."

Xing Xing was so frightened that she almost lost the last half of her life. She was shaking like a sieve and could no longer bear Shen Yuan's threats.

Shen Yuan stood up, glanced at Ahe, and said, "Take care of this place."

, and then send the almonds back. I’ve talked too much today, and I’m really a little sleepy. I’ll go back and take a nap first. "

Ah He nodded.

Shen Yuan held the lantern and set foot on the path back to the house.

As she walked further away, her tense string suddenly softened.

She needed to sort it out.

The first thing is that the letter of exposure was written by Xiao Yinlu.

In other words, the reason why Xiao Yilv wrote letters in Shen Yuan's name and staged the drama of exposing Feng Ling was, on the one hand, to make Feng Ling bear the crime of leaving the house without permission.

On the other hand, it was to pave the way for Feng Ling's hatred towards Shen Yuan, making people in the mansion feel that Feng Ling would definitely take revenge on Shen Yuan for exposing him. It would be reasonable to spread rumors later that Feng Ling was the one who pushed Shen Yuan into the trap.

The second thing was that Xiao Yinlu saw her riding a horse.

According to Xingren’s words, Xiao Yilv went out to buy rouge on April [-]th without a maid. She came back from the rouge shop at noon. When she turned the corner and entered the main entrance, she happened to bump into a girl riding a horse. Naturally, she thought of the only girl in the house who knew how to ride a horse. woman - wind chimes.

And when Shen Yuan rode around the corner that day, he almost ran into a flower-topped sedan. Maybe Xiao Yinlu was on the sedan that day!

Shen Yuan further realized that when she was rushing back to the mansion that day, she was probably taken a look at by Xiao Yinlu. She took advantage of this incident and wrote a letter of exposure in Shen Yuan's name, telling the eldest lady that Feng Ling left the mansion on horseback. And he deliberately made the matter a big deal on the eve of the banquet, so that the eldest lady had no time to investigate the whole matter.

The third thing is the matter of Shentan.

Combined with the gossip of the people in the mansion and Xing Xing’s testimony, this matter is complete.

Xiao Yinlu sent Xingren to break the lock of the woodshed door, creating the illusion that the wind chime broke through the door, and took advantage of the opportunity.

When everyone was busy, he sent another person to trick Shen Yuan away by pretending to be a wind chime, and he opened the lid of the bottomless pool in advance, pushed her into the pool, and blamed the wind chime...

After figuring out these three things, Xiao Yinlu basically lost everything.

She didn't know that the person riding the horse was not Feng Chime, but Shen Yuan, nor did she know that the person peeping that day was not Feng Chime, but Shen Yuan.

Involving an innocent person in this circuitous chess game is bound to fail.

But the problem at this time is that Xiao Yinlu's murder motive is simply untenable.

She suspected that the peeping incident had something to do with them, so she decided to kill them?

But they were just two servants. They just watched it and didn't dare to tell it. Even if they did tell it, there was no proof. How could anyone believe the nonsense of the two servants?

Shen Yuan had a bad premonition in her heart.

She was afraid it was Xiao Yinlu.

However, she was more afraid that it wasn't Xiao Yinlu.
