After breakfast, the rain that had stopped not long ago started to fall again.

The Buddhist hall is built on the side of the ancestral hall, some distance away from the main house.The road is paved with bluestone, smooth and not muddy, but a little slippery on the feet. Everyone held umbrellas and supported each other to prevent slipping.

When you approach the Buddhist hall, you can smell the sandalwood scent mixed with incense, which makes you unconsciously solemn.

The Buddhist hall is not big, only a statue of Sakyamuni Buddha is provided.In addition to the common incense and offerings in front of the Buddha statue, there is also a stack of handwritten scriptures.

Luo Zizhou picked up the thick stack of scriptures and flipped through them, his brows furrowed unconsciously: "The Holy Great Liberation Sutra, also known as the Great Sutra of Fang Guang's Repentance and Extermination of Crimes and His Majesty into Buddhism."

"Is there something wrong?" Chu Xuan opened the merit box under the altar. Generally, the merit box in temples is for pilgrims who go to worship Buddha to add incense oil money. Why is there a merit box in his own Buddhist hall?

There are still hand-copied Buddhist scriptures in the merit box, and the handwriting is the same as the scriptures in Luo Zizhou's hands. It should be copied by the eldest lady.

There is no need to burn paper money for Buddha offerings, but there is a brazier here, and there are still uncleaned ashes in it.The brazier is not far from the altar, and kneeling on the futon is just enough to burn the scriptures in the merit box.

Luo Zizhou quickly looked through the scriptures kept in the merit box, most of which were "Confessions", "88 Confessions Sutra", etc., which made people wonder whether the lady recited scriptures every day to pray for blessings or for repentance?

Xin Zhu didn't like monks, so he naturally kept a respectful distance from the Buddha, wandering around against the wall of the Buddhist hall.Da Furen comes here to worship the Buddha every day, maybe she will leave a clue.

Sure enough, he found two prayer beads in a dusty corner, and the sweeper seemed to have never cleaned the place.

The Buddhist beads are engraved with Sanskrit, and there are obvious signs of playing with them, which should have fallen from the bracelet.The patina is thick, not because it has been plated for many years and cannot produce such an effect.Since it appeared here, its owner should be Da Furen.

What happened to make the lady break the Buddha string that has been used for many years?

There was movement outside the door, the young master and uncle brought in a woman who was about the same age as Mother Chu and asked her to kneel on the futon in front of the altar.The three of them were all drenched, and not long after they entered, a few puddles of water had accumulated on the ground.

This woman is the dumb aunt, a dowry brought by the eldest lady from her natal family, and she disappeared on the night of the eldest lady's death.When the young master and uncle found her, she was squatting in the corner of the outer wall of the Luo family's old house.The rain fell on her, and she didn't find a place to hide.

"The Luo family has treated you well in the past 20 years. If you don't have a reasonable explanation today, don't try to get out of the Buddhist hall!" The young master threw down a stack of paper and a pen.

The dumb aunt can't speak, but she can write under the guidance of the eldest lady. She has communicated with others in this way all these years.

The dumb aunt, who was covered in rain, lowered her head, and she didn't know if it was because of the cold, her body was shaking all the time.Water stains dripped from her hair, soaking the paper in front of her in a matter of moments.

Xin Zhu squatted in front of the dumb aunt holding the Buddhist beads, raised her chin to force her to look at the Buddhist beads: "Mute aunt, do you know this one?"

The dumb aunt trembled all over, she broke away from Xin Zhu's hand and hurriedly lowered her head, her body trembled more violently, and her head was buried even lower.

There was a muffled thunder in the sky, and the rain became heavier. The two sycamore branches and leaves outside the door trembled, and the wind blew even more.

It's no surprise that I don't get any useful information from the dumb aunt for a while. She has served the eldest lady for decades, and accompanied her from her mother's house to her husband's house. She must know a lot of secrets. Wouldn't it be easy to tell her Straight to the end?

Let the two servants watch her continue to kneel in the Buddhist hall, and the others returned to the main house in a mighty manner.

Xin Zhu showed the young master the silver longevity lock and old swaddling clothes that he had found from the lady's room, and the young master hated it very much.

The Luo family has been rich for a hundred years, and only low-class servants would use such things in their family.Some respectable servants don't need these, and at first glance, they can only be two words - shabby.

He held the Longevity Lock in his hand, with a look of contempt in his tone: "This Longevity Lock is not even silver, it's still silver-plated. When did our Luo family have such a thing?"

"Both these two items were found in the lady's room." Chu Xuan reminded him.

The young master's face changed slightly: "Maybe it was brought by my mother from her natal family. It has been more than 20 years, and there are not a few of her dowry left. I didn't expect to keep these things."

Several players looked at each other in blank dismay. It seemed that the eldest lady and the eldest master were not a well-matched combination.Looking at these two things, the families of Da Furen's natal family and Luo's family are not even the slightest difference.Before the eldest lady married into the Luo family, her natal family might not be as good as ordinary people's.

She took her younger brother to live with her husband's house, probably to make his future journey easier.Living in Luo's family is not only better for food, clothing, housing and transportation, but more importantly, the people he contacts, the things he does, and the principles he learns.

It is clear that the eldest lady wants her younger brother to become a talent.

Zhong Xuya looked around but couldn't find the figure of her uncle, so she quietly told Xin Zhu.Xin Zhu looked around, the young master was still there, only the old uncle was missing.

Someone sent word that a classmate asked the young master to go out, and the young master threw down the silver lock and left.

Yang Han tsk-tsk: "Why do I see this young master's mood is wrong, his parents died within a month, his mother just died last night, and he still has the mind to go out with his classmates to play."

"Yeah, he doesn't look very sad." Mother Chu also said.

Luo Zizhou twirled the soil in the flower pot by the window, put it under his nose and sniffed it: "The soil in this flower pot smells like medicine, dig it out and have a look."

There were no other tools in the room, so they simply dug up all the flower pots in the room with hairpins, scissors and the like, and found a lot of medicinal residues.

Luo Zizhou called the person in charge of gardening to come in for questioning. A man and a woman knelt in a row, saying that it was the order of the eldest lady.Burying medicinal residues in flower pots not only grows flowers and trees, but also prevents insects. In recent years, the bonsai in the lady's room have been raised in this way.

Luo Zizhou waved his hand and let them go out without asking anyone to clean up the medicine residue that was spread all over the floor.

Finding out these medicine residues reminded them to ask what kind of medicine Da Furen was drinking.The person who took the dregs of the medicine to the pharmacy for questioning came back with a prescription, saying it was a prescription for nourishing yin and nourishing the lungs.

Mother Chu looked at the chaotic ground: "Why don't you put these away and send them over to ask?"

"Even if there is something wrong, Da Furen will not leave the evidence in her room." Chu Xuan didn't think it was necessary.

Xin Zhu squatted down, still clutching the two Buddhist beads he found from the Buddhist hall: "Now they are all mixed together and I can't see why, why don't we find out if there are other things in it."

The eldest lady's body has been removed, and other furnishings on the bed are still the same as when she died.

"Strange, the old man has only been dead for a month, why is there no trace of him in this room?" Zhong Xuya stood in front of the bed, displaying her unique sensitivity of a woman.

Luo Zizhou leaned against the table, one hand resting on Xin Zhu's slender waist, and it was shaken off the table: "Don't you all wonder how the old man died?"

In fact, there is no one who is not curious, but just witnessed the death of the eldest lady, and everyone has not been able to think about the death of the elder for the time being.

"Call the housekeeper to see me."

Xin Zhu went out and intercepted a maid, telling her to send a message.

Not long after, a middle-aged man in a black gown and round-frame glasses knocked on the door and came in, as if he hadn't noticed the mess in the room, he was very calm: "Second Master, what are your orders?"

The old god Luo Zizhou sat on the ground at the table, Xin Zhu sat on the other side, and the others stood behind them, which seemed to be a trial.

"Housekeeper, how long has it been since the Elder Master passed away?" Luo Zizhou asked in a deep voice.

The housekeeper bowed his waist slightly: "Back to the second master, I just did it for seven days yesterday, and today it is No. 20 for nine days. It is the old slave who neglected his duty. You came back for the funeral, but added a new funeral."

Luo Zizhou raised his eyes: "Did I never ask how the Elder Master died?"

The housekeeper didn't raise his head, and said in a calm voice, "Second Master, you forgot that the Eldest Master died of a heart attack. You also invited a Western doctor to come back for an examination, and the Western doctor said the same."

"No, I'm asking how the old man fell ill when he was healthy, and why didn't he take the medicine and send him to the doctor in time?"

The housekeeper finally figured out the smell: "You mean..."

"Tell me the situation at that time in detail, and there must be no omissions!"

From the housekeeper, they learned that the elder also died in the night.

That day the elder was depressed for some reason, drank two glasses of wine at dinner, and staggered a little when he went back to his room to sleep.The eldest lady didn't let anyone go in to wait on him, she personally helped him fall asleep.In the middle of the night, the eldest lady suddenly opened the door and called for someone, saying that the elder was ill, and asked people to go to Jifengtang to find Doctor Song to get Baoxin pills.

The old man's angina is an old problem, and Dr. Song from Jifengtang has been taking care of him.Doctor Song's Baoxin Pill is an ancestral prescription, and it is well-known throughout the city. Every time the old man takes Baoxin Pill, he can be relieved.

The housekeeper got the letter and immediately went to buy medicine in person, and invited Doctor Song back.But they were one step too late, and when they came back, the old man had already passed away.Even if Dr. Song is able to rejuvenate, he cannot bring the dead back to life.

"The elder slave has always taken the Baoxin pills for the elder. Doctor Song always gives him a small brown gourd bottle, which is exactly twenty pills. A few days before the elder master's accident, the slave just gave him I took the medicine, but the medicine bottle on the master was already empty that day." The housekeeper sighed, "If the old slave didn't realize that the old master had finished his medicine in time, the old master wouldn't have... well, the old slave is negligent. "

The butler's words were interesting, he seemed to admit his mistake, but inside and outside the words he justified himself, focusing his doubts on the eldest lady.The eldest lady is dead, and there is no proof of her death.However, he also pointed out the doubtful point of the Elder Master's death—there was no medicine left in just a few days.

The second master once invited a western doctor to come back to see him, which showed that he also had doubts about the death of the elder master.Now that the western medicine doctor has come, the old man probably died of sudden angina because he did not take the medicine in time.
