  Chapter 5 Suspect

   "The young master came first, and after he came, he persuaded you—"

  Luo Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "Didn't you scold me?"

  The red beans stagnate.

  Luo Sheng said expressionlessly: "You don't have to hide what you say to me from now on."

  What she needs is accurate information, not to be misled by embellished words.

Hongdou replied yes, and said articulately: "Young master came and scolded you and left, and then the two cousin girls came. The big cousin girl said the same thing as the young master, and the second cousin girl advised you to calm down and not Persuade..."

  Luo Shengying lightly tapped the table with her fingertips: "So, the second cousin treats me well?"

   "Yes, among your cousins, the second cousin is the friendliest to you, unlike the first cousin who confronts you everywhere..."

  Luo Sheng listened quietly, lost in thought.

   When it comes to murder, there must be a motive.

  The masters of the Sheng Mansion have visited her one after another in the past three days. She doesn't talk, but listens and sees more, and she has some impressions of everyone.

  Grandmother was helpless and disappointed with her, the eldest aunt and second aunt were disgusted but had to show a gesture of concern, the eldest uncle was a little scared, and the second uncle was not at home.

  Luo Sheng thought that the elders in the Sheng Mansion probably didn't want to see her have an accident.

  Miss Luo's father is a high-ranking and powerful person, and sent his daughter who got into trouble to her grandfather's house to avoid the limelight. If something happened, the Sheng family would not be able to explain it.

  It is not easy for outsiders to sneak into Miss Luo's boudoir without anyone noticing.

  In this case, the people of the same generation in the Sheng Mansion are very suspicious.

  The younger brother Luo Chen who hates her but defends her, scolds her the eldest girl Sheng Jiayu who doesn't even bother to call her "cousin", the second girl Sheng Jialan who behaves friendly, and the four cousins ​​who don't have much contact with each other—

  Who is it that kills Miss Luo?

  Luo Sheng looked at the white silk hanging from the beam again.

   I have to say that this method of killing is a bit rough.

  The motivation may have existed for a long time, and the opportunity to prompt the other party to make a hasty move was probably just three days ago.

  That day, Miss Luo expressed her thoughts on the Second Young Master Su to her grandmother, and then she was murdered...

   There is a nine out of ten correlation between the two!

  Luo Sheng had a vague guess about the suspect, and another doubt: Miss Luo was hung on the beam after she fell asleep, and she didn't wake up and struggle during that time?

  She glanced slowly across the interior furnishings, and landed on the blue-and-white multicolored plum-patterned tea set without a tea gu at hand.

  The missing teacup was just smashed by her, and the broken porcelain was still on the floor.

   "When my brother and the others came, did they drink tea?"

Hongdou didn't understand how the topic got here, but she kept in mind Luo Sheng's order to speak up when she had something to say, and recalled briefly: "Young master ran away after scolding you, but the second cousin poured a glass when the big cousin quarreled with you. Tea advises you to put out the fire."

   "Did I drink?"

   "Drink it—" Hongdou realized belatedly, "Girl, do you think there is something wrong with the tea?"

  Luo Sheng didn't say a word.

   Even if there is a problem with the tea, it has not been found out until now.

  Hongdou was still in shock: "There is a problem with the tea, doesn't it mean that there is something wrong with the second cousin girl... How dare she harm the girl!"

  The little servant girl jumped up and walked out with a murderous look: "The servant girl will settle the score with her!"

   "Stop." A faint voice came from behind.

  Hong Dou turned around, puzzled: "Girl?"

  When will her girl be the person who can swallow her anger? She often cleans up on the spot if she is upset.

   "Don't startle the snake, besides, these are just speculations."

   In her opinion, this killing is full of flaws, and such speculation is enough to make her take the next step.

  She can't be trapped in Jinshasheng's house, she's going to Zhennan Palace to take a look.

   Take a look at what happened to the home surrounded by the sound of fighting that night.

  Luo Sheng was anxious, but he knew that he couldn't be impatient. It was serious to solve the mess left by Miss Luo first.

  Furthermore—Luo Sheng caressed his wrist.

  The young girl's wrists are as frosty as frost, she is the best age.

  She died unwillingly, so she borrowed Miss Luo's body to be reborn and should bear Miss Luo's love.

   It is her consistent principle to repay kindness and revenge.

  Seeing that Luo Sheng was silent, Hong Dou became anxious: "Girl, is this the way to go?"

  Luo Sheng withdrew his thoughts, and smiled lightly: "Of course it doesn't matter, you can't startle the snake, you can lure the snake out of the hole."

   "Lead the snake out of the hole?" Hong Dou blinked, his eyes sparkling, "How to lead the snake out of the hole?"

  At this time, a voice came from outside the door: "Cousin girl, Sister Shuangye from the eldest wife's room is here."

  Luo Sheng nodded slightly at Hongdou, who immediately shouted, "Tell her to come in."

  Luo Sheng stroked his forehead.

  She was signaling Hongdou to tidy up the house, for example, at least take down the white silk hanging from the beam first...

  A maid wearing a bean-green vigilante came in, saw the gloomy white silk in front of her, screamed, and almost collapsed on the ground.

  Hongdou put her hands on her hips and scolded: "What are you screaming for? What if you scare us girls?"

  Shuang Ye looked at Luo Sheng sitting at the table, and then at the hanging white silk, her lips trembled.

   Who scares who? The cousin girl is really scary.

   "What's the matter?" Luo Sheng asked.

  Shuang Ye cleared up her mood, lowered her eyes and said: "Tonight, the master and master of the house will have dinner together, and the eldest wife ordered the maid to come and tell the cousin girl."

"knew."

  Shuang Ye bowed her knees at Luo Sheng, and when she got back, she vividly described the scene she saw when she entered Luo Sheng's room: "A white silk was hanging in front of the maidservant's eyes, so frightened that the maidservant's heart almost jumped out."

  The eldest wife's face was a little ugly: "What's going on here?"

   Fortunately, this cousin girl will not come to tonight's family banquet, so as not to cause trouble to the children.

   Every five days, all the houses in the Sheng Mansion will gather for a family banquet. Luo Sheng's visitors are guests. Although this kind of family banquet has only been visited once to save face, the eldest wife in charge of the housekeeper will send someone to invite each time.

  The eldest wife's hanging heart was slightly relaxed, and she told Shuangye: "Go and tell the two young masters to stay away from the cousin girl in the future."

   Take precautions, never thought that the old lady would have the plan to promise her cousin girl to her sons, if she knew it would be like this, the matter of going to Su's house to talk today might as well have come to fruition.

   Soon the sun was setting, and Luo Sheng rushed to Funing Hall with Hongdou.

  Jinsha County is located in the south. Although it is early spring, Shengfu is full of lush vegetation and spring flowers are blooming.

  Luo Sheng walked through flowers and willows all the way, and met four men head-on.

  She stood still, her eyes swept over the faces of the four people.

  The one who is tall and straight like a green pine is the eldest cousin, the one with peach eyes and holding a folding fan is the second cousin, the one with thick eyebrows and big eyes is the third cousin, and the childish fourth cousin is the one.

  These four people went to see her together once after she woke up. Although they came and went in a hurry like a business trip, she remembered it.

  After waking up, the world was turned upside down, and she had to use her heart to remember everything she heard and saw.

  Luo Sheng bowed slightly, and saluted the four of them as peers.

  The four of them stood there dumbfounded the moment they saw Luo Sheng, and woke up like a dream when they saw her salute.

  The three cousins ​​who came back to their senses hurriedly saluted Luo Sheng and said in unison: "I have something urgent to go out, so I won't go with my cousin."

  After the words fell, the three of them ran away. Sheng Sanlang didn't forget to grab the younger brother who didn't react.

  Hong Dou opened his mouth wide: "What the **** are you guys doing?"

  Luo Sheng didn't take it seriously: "Don't worry about it, let's go."

  People who would run away after seeing her probably don't have the courage to kill people, not to mention that Miss Luo didn't show any interest in messing with her cousin, so the other party couldn't do it.

   The four people who ran outside the gate in one breath were panting, and the shock had just come to an end.

   "Three brothers, there's no need to be so scared, right?" Sheng Shiro looked puzzled.

  Peachy-eyed Sheng Erlang hit Sheng Shiro's head with a gold-painted folding fan: "What do idiots know, if you are entangled with cousin Luo, you will be in darkness!"
