Chapter 149 I heard that I fell to my death
The old lady curled her lips, she didn't want the two of them to quarrel.

"Okay, okay, it's all my fault, if you want to blame me, you can blame me, I made it out on my own, Xie Cheng, why do you have to pay after you leave Jingbei? Is Changfeng treating you badly? ?”

Is there even a need to ask?Anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

But now the old lady is very weak, Xie Cheng doesn't want to speak too bluntly, the old lady treated her very well before, and she doesn't want to hurt her heart.

"No, that's all happened before, old madam, I have nothing to do with the Jingbei Hou Mansion now, I've been living there, others will scold me."

In the capital, Meng Changfeng had too many rotten peach blossoms, and she really couldn't handle it.

Hearing this, the old lady's face collapsed.

"Then do you want to live in this house all the time? This is Mr. Chen's house. If he comes back, won't you be homeless?"

Mo Qiubai smiled, Mr. Chen will never come back again.

"Don't worry, old lady, I won't let Xie Cheng have no place to live."

He took a step forward and grabbed Xie Cheng's hand, as if swearing sovereignty.

Seeing this scene, Meng Changfeng's pupils shrank slightly.

After standing in the cold wind for a while, the old lady started to cough violently.

"Mother, you can go home with me first, Xie Cheng doesn't want to go back if he doesn't want to go back."

She was right, now she has nothing to do with the Jingbei Marquis Mansion, if she just lives in it in such a grandiose way, I'm afraid it's not justified, and others will scold her.

But the old lady didn't want to listen to him at all, she leaned against the old woman's arms extremely weakly.

"Xie Cheng, let me ask you again, do you want to go back with me?"

In the end, Xie Cheng finally compromised. The old lady's body is really bad. If there is any good or bad, she might become the enemy of the whole capital.

Seeing her nodding, the old lady was very happy, and they got into the carriage together, Mo Qiubai and Meng Changfeng sat outside.

After a while, Meng Changfeng took the initiative to speak.

"What is the relationship between you and Mr. Chen? I'm afraid it's not as simple as you said."

Mo Qiubai smiled, and he turned his head sideways.

"I have no obligation to explain to you."

The temperature outside the carriage dropped to zero in an instant.

Jingbei Hou Mansion.

Murong Shi got out of the carriage cautiously, with a veil on her face.

When the boy at the door saw her, he quickly bowed to salute.

"Hello Madam."

Hearing this, Murong Shi quickly put her index finger on her lips.

Seeing her reaction, the servants were still a little puzzled.

"What's the matter, ma'am?"

"Oh, it's okay, I just don't want to disturb the old lady."

"..."

"You are still outside the door, how could you disturb the old lady?"

Xie Cheng half leaned on the carriage, Murong Shi turned her head in a panic, and she hurried to Meng Changfeng's side.

"Changfeng, why are you here?"

Meng Changfeng was puzzled by her attire.

"Where have you been? Why are you still wearing a veil?"

Hearing this, Murong Shi hurriedly coughed a few times, and she gently pinched Meng Changfeng's arm with her hand.

"Oh, I've had a cold attack these past few days, but I'm so bored staying in the mansion, I want to go out to relax, so I put on a veil to avoid infecting others."

This veil will not protect against any virus.

Seeing Murong Shi's flustered look, Xie Cheng became suspicious, and her eyes turned to the maid on the side.

"You look so familiar."

Her eyes made Qing Guo'er's limbs feel cold, Qing Guo'er forced a smile.

"I don't know. The servant has been serving Madam all the time. Dr. Xie was still in the Jingbei Hou Mansion a few days ago. Maybe he has seen the servant."

Hearing this, Xie Cheng nodded.

The next day.

Meng Changfeng ordered his guards to search every servant's room.

Because of the sudden incident, the servants were all panicked.

"Young Lord, please forgive me, the slave really didn't poison the old lady."

Seeing their flustered appearance, Meng Changfeng frowned.

"This Marquis didn't say that he would punish you, but he just wanted to find the person who poisoned you. Don't do anything wrong, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. If you really didn't do this, I won't frame you."

Hearing this, the servants looked at each other in blank dismay, and they were finally relieved.

the other side.

Murong Shi standing by the window sill was watering the flowers.

"Oh!"

The door may have hit the wall, Murong Shi narrowed her eyes slightly.

"What are you doing, why are you so flustered?"

Qing Guoer quickly pointed out with her finger.

"It's no good Ma'am, the young master is asking the guards to search the mansion, and the rooms of the servants have almost been searched, and the servant guesses that they will come here soon."

Hearing this, Murong Shi's face turned pale, and she glanced sideways at the cabinet standing in the corner.

"I see."

At this moment, Xie Cheng was looking at the roster in the kitchen.

Her fingertips touched the words Aunt Xu.

"No, why is there one person missing, is Mrs. Xu there?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, some of the cooks still had hesitant expressions on their faces, Xie Cheng pursed his lips when he saw them hesitating to speak.

"Just say anything."

"Oh, Aunt Xu is already dead, probably half a month ago, I heard she fell to her death."

Aunt Xu is already an old man in the mansion. If she really died, there should be a record in the booklet.

Xie Cheng's eyes flickered slightly.

"Sure?"

The cooks nodded: "I'm sure, Mrs. Xu's legs are not good at all. She was injured in the early years, and she always walks with a limp. She is in charge of cooking dinner. She will wait until everyone is asleep. Go back to your room."

The light is not good at night, and it is normal to fall down.

"You're so sure, when Aunt Xu fell to her death, were you there?"

They looked at each other.

"No, this servant heard the news of Aunt Xu's death one morning half a month ago. Everyone said that she fell to her death, but this servant does not know who the news came from."

Hearing this, Xie Cheng nodded, and she closed the roster.

"Thank you for the clues you provided. There is nothing wrong with the roster. You can go."

After everyone left, Xie Cheng turned around and left.

Looking at the roster in front of him, Meng Changfeng was a little puzzled.

"What's the matter, is there something wrong with this booklet?"

Xie Cheng lowered his eyebrows: "The mansion is missing a cook named Aunt Xu. I heard that she fell to her death. Is this true or not?"

He is Lord Hou, he doesn't care about everything, he is just a cook, and he dies when he dies.
