Chapter 373 Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Tan Zichen must have felt so humiliated that this servant dared to snatch her bedding.
Tired and suffering from hunger and cold, she was so hungry that when she went out to see if she had something to eat today, she accidentally fainted on the ground, and never got up again after she fainted.
And that maid saw her lying motionless on the ground when she went to deliver her meals that day, and when she knew that something had happened, she was so panicked that she sent people to find Steward Liu quickly.
When Butler Liu found out, he was taken aback, and before he had time to reprimand the girl, he hurriedly went to check on Tan Zichen's situation.
Although Tan Zichen is the wife of the mansion, she is in such an embarrassing situation, and Housekeeper Liu dare not deal with it casually, but Lin Chuqian is not in the mansion.
In desperation, she asked someone to inform He Mingxue, and when she heard this, she felt Tan Zichen's side without hesitation, crying and calling for someone to call for a doctor.
Butler Liu didn't stop him, but dragged his chubby body thinking about how to inform Lin Chuqian, and finally Lin Chuqian came back not long after.
She rushed to the door to greet her, and only then did the rest of the matter begin.
After Lin Chuqian listened to Butler Liu's rambling, her head ached again.
Could it be that Tan Zichen's death was caused by being mean by an ordinary maid?
How could she not believe that this maid had the guts to do such a thing?
No matter how miserable Qin is at washing the car, she is also the wife of the He family.
Isn't that girl afraid of death?
Seeing that her face was cloudy and uncertain, Steward Liu quickly asked, "Aunt Bai, what should I do with that girl now?"
"Go and check again, this girl is usually closer to that girl?"
Lin Chuqian was not in a hurry to deal with that girl, but she wanted to know if there were other people behind it.
Butler Liu was a little surprised after hearing this. "Aunt Bai suspects that someone is behind the scenes?"
Lin Chuqian's face was solemn, and she didn't nod or shake her head.Instead, he waved his hands wearily. "Please trouble Housekeeper Liu."
Butler Liu figured out Lin Chuqian's attitude, and began to feel that things were not that simple.
After careful investigation, before the results came out, something happened again.
The maid who delivered Tan Zichen's meals before died.
Hanged himself.
Before he died, he left blood and wrote it on the ground.
He said that it was because of his obsession that his wife died of hunger and cold. He felt guilty and restless all day long, so he chose to hang himself to make atonement.
When Lin Chuqian heard the news, she was so angry that she almost overturned the table.
This so-called suicide is too coincidental.
Just as Steward Liu wanted to investigate, the girl hanged herself and left a suicide note of repentance.
It's no wonder there's nothing tricky in it.
And this method feels familiar!
This method is a tactic that has been tried and tested in He Mansion. Tan Zishen used it against Xiao Yu before, and Aunt Liu also used it against Aunt Yun.
Now that it fell on that maid, she couldn't convince Lin Chuqian that everything was just a coincidence.
"Aunt Bai, after asking the servants, I learned that that girl was very close to a maid in Aunt Liu's room." Steward Liu saw her frowning, and hesitantly told him what he found out during his investigation. .
"Aunt Liu." Lin Chuqian murmured, feeling helpless as expected.
Originally, she suspected Aunt Liu, because if He Mingxue successfully married Wang Rongyan, it would be very detrimental to her.
As soon as He Mingxue leaves the He Mansion, she will be out of her control. If Wang Rongyan's official career goes well and He Mingxue rises with the tide, then Aunt Liu will be the unlucky one.
If Aunt Liu understood this point, she would naturally act as a hindrance to prevent the two of them from getting married.
Lin Chuqian had guessed that she would try to obstruct it, but she never expected that she would directly kill Tan Zichen.
Seeing blood for a while, killing people.
Once Tan Zishen died, even if He Mingxue didn't ask to be a filial piety for her, according to the custom, she couldn't have married Wang Rongyan years ago.
But after Tan Zi's death, He Mingxue lost all hope, and she didn't want any future or fame.
She will keep mourning for Tan Zi for three years.
For women of this age, there are several three years that can be consumed.
She is 15 now, three years from now.
In the eyes of outsiders, this is a modern 30-year-old late-married woman.
After thinking about it, Lin Chuqian felt that Aunt Liu's move was too sudden, and she was caught off guard so that she didn't have time to react at all.
Recalling the sentence that the Muslim uncle who went to Qinglian Temple that day has not come yet.
It was only then that she belatedly recalled the meaning that the time had not come.
Maybe this is fate!
It is doomed that the marriage contract between He Mingxue and Wang Rongyan will not be smooth sailing.
Let's just take it as a good thing, and as for the future, it depends on whether they are destined or not.
Feeling deeply tired and helpless, Lin Chuqian rubbed her eyebrows and sighed softly, "I see, Housekeeper Liu has worked hard these days."
"Aunt Bai is serious, this is the duty of this old slave."
Seeing that she was very tired, Butler Liu hurriedly bowed his hands and said goodbye.
**
It's too cold this winter.
For Lin Chuqian, this was the coldest winter she had ever experienced in her life.
Because she is a dog from the south, she has never seen a picture of heavy snow falling.
But now she is dressed as Bai Jingjing, wearing heavy clothes, watching the snow outside the house, holding Tang Pozi, and roasting the stove, this is really magical to her.
After nightfall, the wind picked up.
Lin Chuqian ordered Hui'er to go to the yard next door to dig a few sweet potatoes, then throw them into the charcoal fire to roast.
The doors and windows were closed tightly, and the aroma of sweet potatoes filled the room after a while.
He Mingxue had already leaned against her, staring at the sweet potatoes in the charcoal and swallowing.
Lin Chuqian patted her head and asked with a smile, "Want to eat?"
"I think." He Mingzhu nodded heavily.
"Wait a little longer, you can eat it right away."
Lin Chuqian carefully stared at the sweet potatoes in the charcoal fire with her cheeks in her hands. Seeing this, He Mingzhu also imitated her movements and stared at the charcoal fires with her cheeks in her hands.
Sheng'er, who came out of the room, saw this situation and couldn't help walking over suspiciously, sat down and stared at the charcoal fire curiously.
"Mom, are you baking sweet potatoes again?"
Lin Chuqian stared at the sweet potatoes intently, and said yes without eyelids.
Sheng'er didn't continue to ask, but sat next to Lin Chuqian, leaning against her very much. "mother."
"Huh?" Lin Chuqian responded casually.
"smell good!"
Sheng'er, who had always been mature and considerate to outsiders, grinned innocently.
"I think it smells good too!"
Lin Chuqian swallowed, picked up a small wooden stick to look at the sweet potatoes in the charcoal fire, carefully identified them, and finally found the roasted black sweet potatoes in a pile of charcoal fire.
After pulling it out, she couldn't wait to get her hands on it. It was so hot that she couldn't hold it no matter what. After changing hands a few times, she was forced to put it back on the ground, and quickly pinched her cool earlobe with her hot hands.
"It's so hot!" Lin Chuqian smiled, and impatiently started to use it again. After breaking it apart vigorously, the sweet and soft flesh of the sweet potato was revealed, and she took a bite.
It was still hot, she gasped as she ate, her eyes lit up after swallowing. "It's so sweet and delicious."
Sheng'er and He Mingzhu, who had been silently staring at her, swallowed in tacit understanding.
Staring at her helplessly, he didn't know how to dig out real sweet potatoes from the charcoal fire.
After Lin Chuqian ate a few mouthfuls, she ate more than half of the sweet potatoes that she set aside. After satisfying her hunger, she had time to see her cheap son and cheap daughter.
