To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 79 and one more

  It was a dagger that was worth a lot of money at first glance, and the gems on it dazzled people.

  Luo Sheng narrowed his eyes.

  This dagger looks familiar.

  Zhu Hanshuang suddenly exclaimed: "This dagger—"

  She turned around slowly to look at Luo Sheng, and said the second half of the sentence: "It seems to belong to Miss Luo!"

   There was a commotion in the crowd, and someone whispered: "I, I seem to have seen Miss Luo take out this dagger."

   "I've also seen..."

  All the girls looked at Luo Sheng with guarded and terrified expressions, as if they were watching an evil spirit returning from hell.

  A figure staggered forward.

   "Yes... Is something wrong with my eldest sister?" The second girl Chen rushed forward, seeing Chen Ruoning's body under the peony flowers, she couldn't help crying.

  A noble lady who recovered from her senses stepped forward to support her and persuaded her, "My condolences to Second Miss Chen."

  Ms. Chen Er broke down and cried: "The eldest sister is dead, what should I do, what should I do—"

  She spoke incoherently, but the people present understood the reason for Miss Chen's collapse.

  If it is a sister of the same mother, and the eldest sister has an accident when they go to the banquet together, the younger sister will be punished at most when she goes back, but the second girl Chen is a concubine.

  As the eldest daughter of the first wife, Miss Chen died tragically, but the second girl Chen was safe and sound. It is self-evident what kind of storm she will face after returning.

  Looking at the second girl Chen who was losing her mind, the girls felt more sympathy than fear.

  The way they looked at Luo Sheng did not conceal this at all.

  It turns out that Miss Luo is not only domineering, but also murderous.

  She even dared to kill the girl from Ge's hometown, what else would she not dare to do.

   God, it's horrible to be around someone like that.

  All the girls backed away subconsciously, feeling a wave of fear in their hearts, and began to rack their brains to see if there was anything to offend Miss Luo.

   Zhu Hanshuang's eyes turned red, pointing at Luo Sheng, he said, "You are the murderer, you killed Miss Chen!"

  The girl who became the focus of everyone looked calm and asked calmly, "Where's the evidence?"

"Evidence?" Zhu Hanshuang seemed to have heard the big joke, and said loudly, "The dagger on Miss Chen's body is evidence! Miss Luo, you don't have to quibble anymore, I have seen your gem-studded dagger with my own eyes! "

   Not only have I met her, but I have even gestured to her.

   "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Luo Yue, who had changed her clothes, rushed to stand in front of Luo Sheng, and questioned Zhu Hanshuang with her almond eyes wide open: "With just a dagger, you can say that my third sister killed someone? Could it be that such a dagger is only owned by my third sister?" ?”

Zhu Hanshuang sneered: "I can't think of anyone other than your third sister who plays with a dagger full of jewels all day long. Even if there is, she would not dare to raise her hand and slap Miss Chen, let alone kill."

"you-"

Luo Qing pulled Luo Yue, frowned and looked at Zhu Hanshuang: "Miss Zhu, don't talk too much. You know people, face but not heart, so how can you be sure that people who look gentle and kind won't kill people? My third sister is with you. Miss Chen is unhappy, but is this unhappiness worth killing? Over the years, girls, have you heard that my third sister has killed anyone?"

  All the women looked at each other in blank dismay.

   This is not the case. Miss Luo usually whips anyone who displeases her, and she has never killed anyone.

"Not before, but it doesn't mean that Miss Chen was not killed by her. Maybe the two met by chance and had a dispute. Miss Luo was so angry that she drew a knife at Miss Chen. Otherwise, how can this dagger be explained? ?” Zhu Hanshuang mocked, “We don’t doubt Miss Luo who has such a dagger, why should I doubt others? Second Miss Luo, it’s not like this to protect her own family.”

  Luo Qing was powerless to refute, and cast a worried look at Luo Sheng.

  At this moment, there was a sudden cry: "Ah, someone died—"

  Everyone heard the reputation and looked, and the voice came from the direction of the bamboo forest.

  The bamboo forest is some distance away from here, if someone enjoys it there, they probably don't know what's going on here.

   Wei Wen's complexion changed suddenly, and she immediately ordered several maids to check the situation.

   All the girls present looked tense, and they were no longer in the mood to talk.

   It would be terrible if someone was killed in the bamboo forest.

  The scene was silent for a while, only the strong fragrance of peonies brought by the breeze, and the vague smell of blood.

   Soon several maids walked over with the help of two noble girls.

  The two noble ladies were obviously frightened, their faces were pale, and their eyes were straight.

   "What's wrong over there?" Wei Wen asked hurriedly.

  A lady murmured: "There are dead people, there are dead people..."

  She didn't stand in a good position, and she immediately met Miss Chen with a distorted expression and a dagger stuck in her abdomen.

   "Ah—" Your lady's emotions completely collapsed, her eyes rolled white and she passed out.

   Wei Wen was silent, and motioned for a maid who had gone to the bamboo forest to answer.

  The maid's face was also pale, but she didn't dare to be as delicate as the girls, and said in a trembling voice: "Return to the princess, it is Lvqin who died."

   "Green piano?" Wei Wen was taken aback, then looked at Luo Sheng.

  Luo Yue was furious for a while: "What does the Princess want to see my third sister?"

   Wei Wen couldn't hear the sorrow and joy in her tone, and said word by word: "Lvqin is the maid who almost threw the fruit plate on Miss Luo Er."

   "What?" The girls looked at Luo Sheng even more frightened.

  Killed Miss Chen who bullied Fourth Miss Luo, and also killed the maid who caused the trouble. Is Miss Luo a murderer?

  Zhu Hanshuang shouted out the hearts of all the women: "Luo Sheng, you are terrible! The prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. Even if you are the daughter of the governor, don't even try to get away with it!"

  Luo Sheng looked at Zhu Hanshuang indifferently, and when she finished speaking, she asked calmly, "Is that why Miss Zhu wants to convict me?"

  The question was sharp, Zhu Hanshuang hurriedly said: "It's not that I want to convict you, but that you committed a crime—"

  Luo Sheng raised his eyebrows: "Is Miss Zhu from the Ministry of Punishment, or from Shuntian Prefecture? Or from Dali Temple?"

  Zhu Hanshuang couldn't answer.

   "Not at all, right?" Luo Sheng chuckled, his face turned cold, "Shut up if it's not at all, it's not your turn to convict me yet!"

   "You—" Zhu Hanshuang fell on his back angrily.

  Luo Sheng ignored her, and turned to look at Wei Wen: "This is the palace of the prince. As the master of the princess, at this time, let a little girl casually convict someone, instead of inviting someone who can take care of it?"

   Wei Wen was suffocated by the question, and said slowly: "Of course not, I will order someone to pass the message to the father and mother."

   It's okay to say that a maid died, but Chen Gelao's granddaughter, Miss Chen, also had an accident. This is not something she can cover, even the Pingnan Palace.

  Call the person who should be called, and find out the real culprit is the top priority.

  The news of your daughter's accident spread quickly everywhere.

  At that time, Wei Han was still sitting and drinking.

  He is not a drinker, in fact, he only drank three or two glasses, and the pot of wine in his hand was still half full.

   It is not easy for people who know King Kaiyang's temper to join him to persuade him to drink.

  However—Many people began to wonder: Didn’t King Kaiyang leave long ago on such occasions?

Good morning. Thank you for the ten thousand coins rewarded by Yueyue Huahua, and thank you book friends who voted for rewards.
