Chapter 269 Hong Er
“Ah~!!!”
Seeing Mingyan covering his neck and rolling on the ground screaming, he was unable to stop the blood from gushing out.
Lin Daiyu was so frightened that her face turned pale, and her whole body felt limp as if she had no bones. The small hoe in her hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and was difficult to hold!
But she still held the hoe tightly and watched Mingyan vigilantly to prevent him from jumping up again and hurting Baoyu.
However, this worry is obviously unnecessary.
Because Lin Daiyu was in a panic just now, her aim was slightly off, and she did not hit Mingyan's back of the neck, but instead stuck to the neck, making a big cut on the left side and cutting off Mingyan's carotid artery at the same time!
So Lin Daiyu watched as Mingyan wailed, his limbs twitched, and finally he lost all his voice.
he……
Dead?
Mingyan was killed by himself? !
Lin Daiyu felt her mind go blank. After all, no matter how smart she was, she was just a thirteen-year-old girl.
At this moment, a trembling hand grabbed the hoe and snatched it away without saying a word.
"This... this dog is..."
Jia Baoyu was holding the flower hoe, trying hard to put on a smile that was uglier than crying, and said with trembling legs, "You actually...actually wanted to kill your master, and you were...beaten to death by my hoe, you deserved it...you deserved it!"
How smart is Lin Daiyu?
Naturally, she guessed immediately that he did not want to be branded as a murderer - even if he killed someone to save someone, as a young woman doing so, it would still be possible to attract criticism.
"Brother Bao..."
Lin Daiyu was about to say something with tears in her eyes, but Baoyu said sternly, "Hurry up and call Xiren to report to the front. Tell her that the wicked servant who committed the murder was trying to kill his master and has been killed by me!"
Seeing that what he said was unquestionable, Lin Daiyu bit her lip slightly and turned around and ran towards Yihong Courtyard.
I was in a panic all the way, and when I arrived at Yihong Courtyard, I felt my heart beating wildly. I struggled to step over the half-foot-high threshold, but suddenly everything went dark in front of my eyes, and I collapsed on the steps involuntarily.
"Ms. Lin ?!"
A pretty maid was watering the flowers in the yard with a bucket. Suddenly she saw this scene and dropped the bucket in fear. She ran over to support Daiyu and asked anxiously, "Miss Lin? What happened to you?"
Lin Daiyu was barely awakened by her call. She grabbed the maid's wrist and asked in a trembling voice, "Xi...Xiren..."
"Sister Xiren is out."
The servant was quite clever. Seeing Daiyu's expression, she said hurriedly, "Sister Qingwen is not at home. If you have anything to say, please tell me first. My name is Hong'er, and my father is Manager Lin, who is in charge of the accounting office."
Since Xiren and Qingwen were not around, Lin Daiyu had no choice but to explain to the little girl what Jia Baoyu had just said.
Although Hong Er was frightened, she did not lose her composure and said carefully, "Miss Lin, since Ming Yan is already dead, it doesn't matter if you wait a little longer. I will help you go to the room to rest. Otherwise, if something happens to you, I will not be able to explain to Master Bao."
As he said this, he helped Lin Daiyu into the main room and called out, "Someone, come quickly!"
"Who's yelling?"
After only two shouts, Qiu Wen, a second-class maid, appeared in the room. Seeing Lin Daiyu's listless look, she couldn't help but be frightened.
She hurried forward to support her, and at the same time she scolded her without knowing the truth: "Hong'er, what happened to you? Miss Lin hasn't been sick for a while, but she became like this after running into you!"
Hong'er's original name was Lin Hongyu, but because it violated Jia Baoyu's taboo, she was changed to Hong'er.
Since she had a good background and her looks were not inferior to those of Qingwen and Xiren, she was naturally unwilling to be a servant forever. So she seemed to be more "prominent" on weekdays, always wanting to have a reputation in front of Baoyu, and thus offended several senior maids.
Hearing that Qiu Wen was using her as a scapegoat again, Hong'er was very angry, but she knew that now was not the time to argue with her. She forced herself to help Lin Daiyu to the window, and ran out without saying a word.
"Why are you running? You...you...you little slut!"
Qiu Wen didn't understand what was going on, so she chased after her and cursed her a few times. When she saw Hong'er running away, she had no choice but to go back to serve Lin Daiyu in disappointment.
But Hong'er ran as fast as she could after leaving Yihong Courtyard. When she reached the front yard, she was sweating profusely. She wanted to take out a handkerchief to wipe herself off so as not to lose impression in front of her master.
But he found nothing. He searched all over his body but couldn't find the handkerchief. He had to wipe it a few times with the lining of his sleeve. Then he asked along the way and found the place near the east living room.
At this time, the drama of 'identifying the real murderer' was still going on. There were about forty or fifty people crowded inside and outside the living room, all of them were young men full of vigor and vitality.
Seeing a pretty girl with a flushed face and panting walking towards them, the young men couldn't help but get a little agitated, and their eyes kept circling around Hong'er.
If it were an ordinary maid, she would have trouble even walking if she was stared at like this.
But Hong'er was very calm. She walked into the living room without looking around. She greeted Jia Lian respectfully and was about to ask where the official from Shuntian Prefecture was, but she saw Sun Shaozong beside Jia Lian.
Thinking back, she had seen Sun Shaozong from afar several times before, so she was naturally familiar with his tall and strong figure.
So Hong Er hurriedly bowed and reported: "Master Sun, our master asked me to pass on a message saying that the murderer Ming Yan had just attempted to kill his master, and he has been beaten to death by our Second Master Bao!"
"What?!"
Jia Lian jumped up in shock and said in astonishment: "He...he killed Mingyan again?!"
It was already unbelievable that Jia Baoyu had used Jiao Da to kill Lai Da before, but now he actually killed his own personal servant with his own hands!
this……
Is this still the treasure of Rongguo Mansion? He is clearly a murderous devil!
Although Sun Shaozong was also a little surprised that Jia Baoyu actually killed Mingyan, he had nearly a hundred souls killed under his command, so he naturally would not make a fuss like Jia Lian.
So he stood up and asked, "Excuse me, young lady, where is Brother Bao now?"
"My lord, please call me Hong'er."
Hong'er first took the opportunity to sell her name, and then answered obediently: "Our master is currently in the peach blossom forest next to the Qinfang Gate Bridge, in the southeast corner of the Provincial Courtyard!"
Jia Lian had recovered by then and hurriedly ordered, "Why don't you lead the way!"
Hong'er agreed, then turned sideways and led the two men and Qiu Yunfei and others out of the east living room.
As for the servants outside the door, after watching the group go away, they suddenly burst into an uproar and started talking about how Jia Baoyu had killed Mingyan, and their words showed a bit more awe for Jia Baoyu.
Not to mention how they talked about it.
But Hong'er led everyone to the vicinity of the villa, and saw a young man with half of his shoulder hanging wandering outside the gate of the villa. When he saw her coming, he happily waved a handkerchief in the wind.
Hong'er's face changed several times and she struggled for a while with mixed emotions. Then she ignored him and led everyone into the other courtyard.
The young man stared blankly as she went away, the expectations on his face turned into helplessness. He wandered outside the gate dejectedly, but was reluctant to leave.
