To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 4 Murderous Undercurrents

  The white silk that was more than ten feet long was fluttering, and Luo Sheng stretched out his hand to hold it in the palm of his hand, staring at it thoughtfully.

  Hongdou's face was a bit ugly, and she said anxiously: "Girl, maidservant, just burn this bad luck thing."

  Luo Sheng understood: "Is this the white silk I used for refilling?"

   "Isn't it? It was a mess at the time, and the maid didn't pay attention to it. She thought it was cleaned up, but who would have thought that it would end up here..." Hongdou chirped and explained, reaching out to grab the white silk in Luo Sheng's hand.

  Luo Sheng didn't let go of the white silk while holding the white silk, his eyes lightly scanned the decorations in the room, and looked at the beams of the house.

  Hongdou was startled for a moment, and then his expression changed drastically: "Girl, you, don't you still think about it?"

  Luo Sheng's eyes fell on Hongdou's face, and he asked calmly: "Am I a person who can't think about it?"

   "No, although Second Young Master Su is handsome, you have molested even those who are more handsome than him in the capital. Why did you commit suicide for a country boy?"

  Luo Sheng's mouth twitched slightly.

  What kind of person is this Luo girl? She is really educated.

   "Girl, please give the white silk to the maidservant."

  Luo Sheng ignored Hongdou's pleading, raised his hand, and the end of the white silk hung down through the beam.

  Hongdou's hairs stood on end, and she rushed over to hug Luo Sheng.

  Luo Sheng patted the little girl's hair, and ordered: "Go and move the stool I used for refilling before moving."

  Hongdou subconsciously let go of her hand, moved a small round stool over and placed it directly under the hanging white silk.

   After finishing all this, the little maid slapped herself: "What am I doing?"

  Luo Sheng slightly bent his lips when he saw this.

  She has long seen that although this little maid has many shortcomings, she does not compromise on her master's orders.

   This is what she needs most at the moment.

  Luo Sheng stepped on the round stool.

  Hongdou was so frightened that she lost her wits, her voice changed as she hugged Luo Sheng's legs: "Girl, do you really want to die again?"

   A calm voice came from above: "Of course not, I just want to verify a guess. Let go."

  Hongdou unconsciously let go of her hand, looked up at Luo Sheng who had already stood on the round stool, and asked blankly, "What do you want to verify?"

  Luo Sheng pinched the broken part of the white silk.

  There is a knot in this white silk, which was obviously tied when he was hanged, and the neat break was cut when Luo Sheng was rescued.

  Luo Sheng held the cut, and the white silk became a ring again.

  Hongdou stared at Luo Sheng's movements in horror, always ready to save someone.

   She was the one who saved the girl before, and now she is considered experienced.

  Luo Sheng shook the white silk, and his voice became a little colder: "Three years ago, I used this white silk to step on this round stool to throw rice?"

"yes."

   "Did you see it?" Luo Sheng leaned over and approached Bai Ling.

  Hong Dou nodded cautiously, with a blank look in his eyes.

  She didn't see what she was going to say, will the girl die for her to see?

Luo Sheng saw the answer in the eyes of the little maid, and stopped embarrassing her, pointed to Bai Ling hanging on her chest and said: "Bai Ling is in this position, if I throw it, I have to bend my knees and legs, don't you feel wronged yourself? ?”

  Hong Dou was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but agree: "Yes, I'm so wronged."

   You are going to die and still use such an inconvenient posture? What's more, her girl has never been the one who wronged herself.

  Luo Sheng got down from the round stool and let the white silk flutter, his eyes became deeper and deeper: "Hongdou, don't you understand, it's not that I want to throw money, it's because someone hurt me."

   "Really, really?" Hongdou's tongue was tied.

  Luo Sheng looked at Hongdou with a helpless expression: "Besides, I don't know if I want to die or not?"

   Hongdou no longer had any doubts, and couldn't help but exclaim.

  The cool fingertips touched her lips, blocking back the exclamation.

  Hongdou's eyes were full of fear and anger, and she asked, "Girl, who is trying to harm you? You are so daring!"

  Luo Sheng was also thinking about this question.

  The favorite jewel of Governor Luo, even the old lady of the Sheng Mansion couldn't put on airs of an elder, yet someone killed Miss Luo in her boudoir.

  The early spring wind poured in through the window lattice with coolness, blowing the still hanging white silk, and there seemed to be invisible murderous intentions surging in the house.

  Hongdou shivered unconsciously, became even more angry, and said murderously: "Girl, we will find the person who harmed you and kill her!"

  Luo Sheng nodded: "That's exactly what I meant."

  She died before, so she cherishes her life even more. The person who killed Luo Sheng must be found out.

   "Sit." Luo Sheng pointed to the round stool.

  Hongdou didn't dislike this round stool, which was used by her own girl to hang herself on it, so she sat down.

  Luo Sheng rested his chin in one hand, with a calm expression: "Then let's talk about my vote first."

  Hong Dou was startled, looked at Luo Sheng's calm expression, and finally asked the growing doubts in his heart: "Girl, don't you remember?"

  Luo Sheng nodded confidently: "Yes, I don't remember anything."

  Hongdou covered her mouth and exclaimed, "How could this happen?"

  Luo Sheng smiled disapprovingly: "Probably walked through the door of **** and accidentally drank a few mouthfuls of Mengpo soup."

   "Is there really Po Meng making soup by the Naihe Bridge?"

  Luo Sheng looked at Hongdou, his eyes turned cold a little bit: "Hongdou, you have to remember, whether I remember or not, I will always be your master."

  Hong Dou's expression turned serious, and he didn't dare to ask questions anymore, about the reason why Luo Sheng cast his hand.

   "We came to Jinsha County more than a month ago. You ran into Mr. Su and wanted to get acquainted with him, but he was rejected by the other party. After doing this a few times, you went to Mrs. Sheng and said that you don't care about Mr. Su—"

   "When did you find my grandmother?" Luo Sheng interrupted Hongdou.

   "Three days ago."

  Luo Sheng's eyes flickered slightly: "And then?"

"Then I was rejected!" Hongdou was filled with righteous indignation when talking about this matter, "The old lady is too unreasonable, of course you were angry, and you cried when you came back... After you rested, the servant girl thought Something was wrong and I entered the house, only to find a person hanging under the beam—"

   Speaking of this, the little girl's face turned pale, obviously frightened.

   "How do you find out what's wrong?" Luo Sheng consciously found a breakthrough.

Hongdou caressed her heart: "You have the habit of taking a nap. The servant girl took advantage of that time to go to the backstreet peddler to buy some gadgets, but halfway there she found that she forgot to bring any money and came back. Originally, the servant girl didn't dare to disturb your afternoon nap." Rest, who knows that I didn't hear your snoring outside, so I came in and took a look when I felt strange."

  Luo Sheng looked a little stiff.

  In other words, this girl Luo has the habit of snoring.

   It's not hard to explain why since she woke up, she found that the other maids were all guarding outside and rarely entered the house. If it were her, she probably wouldn't want anyone to get close except for her closest servant girl.

  Luo Sheng sorted out his thoughts, and then asked: "Did anyone come before I took a lunch break?"

   "Yes!" Hongdou counted with her fingers, "Young master has been here, and the big cousin girl and the second cousin girl have also been here..."

  The young master refers to Luo Sheng's younger brother Luo Chen, the first cousin is Sheng Jiayu, and the second cousin is Sheng Jiayu's concubine Sheng Jialan.

   "Tell me about the situation when they came, including what they said."

   Everyone, don’t forget to vote, to climb the new book list. grateful.
