By the time the ladies followed Ah Chui to the foot of the rockery, Li Yanjun had already arrived.

She was crying loudly and cursing a young man sitting cross-legged on the ground in front of her, accusing him: "You must have harmed my fourth sister! You thief! I will never break up with you!"

The young man looked at her coldly and said nothing.

Ah Chui stepped forward and reported back to the young man: "Mr. Lang, I met these nobles on the way to report the news. The nobles have already sent people to inform the people in the Sui Palace. I believe the doctor will arrive soon."

The young man nodded, stood up, saluted the ladies, and introduced himself: "I am Lin Jiu, the grandson of Duke Lin. I came to the Sui Palace with my grandmother today to express my condolences. My grandmother and the princess are sisters from their natal family. I have something private to talk about.

The idle people hid outside. A maidservant told me that someone in the house wanted to see me and wanted to inform me of an important matter. I came here as told and saw the young lady lying on the ground seriously injured. The murderer was nowhere to be found.

I quickly asked my servant to go ahead and report the news to the master, and I stayed here to prevent the murderer from coming back. Unexpectedly, this young lady just arrived here, and before she even looked at the injured person, she pointed at my

Nose scolded me, it’s really incomprehensible. I happened to encounter someone injured, and I kindly asked someone to come for treatment, and I left a guard, so why do I end up being slandered by others? "

Except for Little Yang who felt that his words were somewhat inconsistent with the actual situation, all the ladies did not think there was anything wrong. It was certainly inappropriate for the guests who came to the Sui Palace to express their condolences to casually come to the back garden, but since this young man said that he was

If he is a relative of Princess Dou, then they, the younger nieces and nephews, can’t say much. If he really hurt the granddaughter of King Sui, someone will naturally hold him accountable. Li Yanjun’s actions are too reckless. For now, they should go first

It is important to determine the condition of the injured.

On the grass at the foot of the rockery in front, there lay a little girl dressed in heavy mourning. The mourning belt on her head and the mourning clothes on her body were almost covered with blood. The scene was so tragic that it was shocking.

Although the little girl's face is turned away from the visitor, and the visitor cannot see her face clearly, in the Sui Palace, she will be dressed in mourning at the funeral of the concubine Chen. A girl at this age whose whereabouts are still unknown is also

There is only one Li Lijun. This child has been weak since she was a child, and she lost so much blood, so she may be in danger.

Immediately, several noble ladies showed sad expressions. The Du family's wife in Prince Xue's palace had red eyes, and she even swallowed: "How could it be like this? Her mother has only been there for three days..."

The princess who was good friends with Xiao Yang guessed: "Could it be that her mother couldn't bear to let go of the child, so she took her away?"

Princess Wei of Jiyin County glanced at her coldly, and was too lazy to argue with her. She only ordered the maid next to her to urge someone to call the doctor. In any case, she must first find out whether the person is dead or alive, and whether she can be saved.

She personally stepped forward to check Li Lijun's injuries: "How did this happen? Lin Xiaolang, can you see how Li Niang was injured..." She paused.

Lin Jiulang shook his head: "Someone asked me to meet at the pavilion on the rockery. When I walked around the flowers in front of me and came here, I saw this little lady lying here with blood on her head and body. At that time,

There was no one around."

Li Yanjun hurriedly said: "Since there is no one around, only your master and servant, who else could have done it if it wasn't you?! Everyone in the house is busy working in the front today, who will come to the garden at the back? There is no one else except you.

!”

She turned to the elders angrily and complained: "I know who this person is! He is Lin Jiulang, who has always had a bad reputation and is the most naughty one. He just pushed the young man of the Wang family downstairs at the Wang family.

My aunts and uncles didn't believe it, so they just went to Wang's house to ask. He must have been running around in the garden, and when he saw the fourth sister here, he pushed her off the rockery!" After the complaint, she cried again, "I'm so pitiful.

My fourth sister! You died here before your ninth birthday. It really hurts me!"

She cried very sadly, but she didn't go to her sister's "body" and stayed far away, which seemed a little less sincere.

Of the ladies present, some praised her for caring about her sister and comforted her not to be too sad, but some also noticed that Lin Jiulang just said that she "pointed to me before she even looked at the injured person."

My nose scolded me." I muttered in my heart.

Lin Jiulang remained calm in the face of Li Yanjun's accusation: "I didn't have the guts to get closer and take a closer look at the injured person, but I already recognized her as your fourth sister, and I also knew that she fell from the mountain..."

I came here earlier than you, and I didn’t even know this. I wonder how the young lady saw it? She has really good eyesight!"

Li Yanjun suddenly choked, her eyes panicked, and she subconsciously looked at her mother, Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang secretly complained that her daughter couldn't keep her temper, and hurriedly explained for her: "There are still blood stains on the rocks over there. I think Yan Niang saw it with her sharp eyes and guessed the truth."

Everyone turned to look at the rockery, and sure enough, there were obvious blood stains on the two protruding rocks.

But this cannot fully explain Li Yanniang’s suspiciousness.

Everyone could see it clearly. When they came, they followed the servant and turned two corners to get here. It was covered by flowers. If you didn't get closer, you wouldn't know there was a person lying here. The servant didn't say anything at all.

Li Lijun fell under the rockery. How did Li Yanjun find the place quickly without anyone to guide her?

Some things really cannot be thought about in detail. Once you think about them carefully, you will be secretly frightened.

Little Yang looked at the changes in expressions on everyone's faces and thought something was wrong in her heart. Just as she was about to defend her daughter, Li Yanjun spoke first: "Lin Jiulang, you can't even think of killing my fourth sister and then blaming others for it."

!Besides my fourth sister, you are the only one who comes to the garden. Who else could be harmed if it wasn’t you?!"

Lin Jiulang sneered: "Is it possible that the little lady has been guarding the garden gate all day? How do you know that no one else has entered this garden?!"

"I..." Li Yanjun choked and quickly found an excuse, "I saw the fourth sister coming and was worried that something would happen to her, so I specially asked someone to guard her at the garden gate to prevent anyone from coming in and disturbing her. Of course I know.

No one else has come in!"

"But when I came in, there was no one guarding the garden gate." Lin Jiulang said calmly, "On the way to the rockery, I met a few women doing chores. The little lady said that there was no one else in the garden.

I’m afraid that something is not entirely true.”

"The servant girl is working in the garden, how could she hurt my fourth sister?!" Li Yanjun said anxiously, "If you were a good and polite person, you wouldn't have trespassed into other people's gardens! You must have bumped into me.

Fourth sister, I was afraid that if she told others to go, I would kill her!"

After she finished speaking, she threw herself into her mother's arms: "Mom! The fourth sister died so tragically, we must not let her murderer go!"

Little Yang was already sweating profusely, but what else could she do at this moment besides comforting her daughter? Although her daughter had exposed her flaws, as long as there was no evidence, it would not matter if others became suspicious again.

However, things don't go according to her wishes.

Princess Wei of Jiyin County stood up from Li Lijun and looked at Xiao Yang and Li Yanjun, mother and daughter: "Yanniang hasn't looked at your sister carefully, has she? How do you know that she has been killed?"

Li Yanjun raised her tearful face and asked her puzzledly: "Why did you say this? The fourth sister was in such a miserable state, it was natural that she was killed by someone."
