Chapter 1813 with a pale and weak face
Gu Qingluan looked calm, walked into the garden, saw two maids watering the flowers, she stepped forward to help.
The two maids glanced at her.
"Which courtyard are you from?"
Gu Qingluan replied: "I'm new here. Just now, the housekeeper was about to assign me a job. He suddenly heard that the eldest son was assassinated. He left in a hurry and left me in the front yard. Sister, do you need help? I'm now Anyway, it’s okay, I can work with you.”
"It seems that the housekeeper hasn't had time to tell you the rules of the mansion. In Tantai Mansion, you can't walk around at will. Anyway, the atmosphere in the mansion is tense now. You should stay here first, don't run around, lest you be caught as an assassin .”
Gu Qingluan showed a grateful expression: "Thank you sister, you are really kind-hearted."
There is no one who does not like to hear compliments, and the corner of the maid who was watering the flowers twitched.
Another maid couldn't help gossiping: "A thief who doesn't know where dares to sneak into Tantai Mansion to assassinate the eldest son. The eldest son's cultivation has reached the realm of a **** king. How powerful is that thief?"
Maid A shook her head: "This is not something we can talk about, be careful what comes out of your mouth."
Maid B stuck out her tongue: "I know, I won't talk nonsense."
She turned her head and asked Gu Qingluan: "Weren't you at the housekeeper's place just now? Did you hear any news?"
Gu Qingluan shook his head: "No, the steward left in a hurry when he heard that the eldest son was assassinated."
Hearing this, Maid B stopped thinking of continuing to talk to Gu Qingluan.
Gu Qingluan quietly watered the flowers with them.
"I think the woman just now has a good track record, and it is very likely that she is the murderer who assassinated the eldest son."
A familiar girl came from the side.
Gu Qingluan's back was slightly stiff, and from the corner of his eyes, he quickly glanced at the direction of the voice.
In the corridor, Ziling was leading a group of people coming from a distance.
She adjusted her position slightly, hiding herself behind Maid B.
The two maids also stood up to the movement on the other side of the corridor. When they turned their heads and saw the group of people, they hurriedly turned around and saluted.
Gu Qingluan was afraid that he would look too prominent if he didn't salute, so he hurriedly blessed himself.
However, I don’t know if God was against Gu Qingluan. A gust of wind blew Ziling’s hair into her eyes. When she dodged, she turned her face to the garden, and then she saw Gu Qingluan.
She has now walked diagonally forward, Maid B can't stop Gu Qingluan.
As soon as she saw Gu Qingluan, her expression changed suddenly, and she pointed at Gu Qingluan and said, "That's the woman! She said she was the back cook."
Gu Qingluan frowned.
Does this maid have any enmity with herself? The Tantai mansion is so big, why is he holding on to him?
Crash!
Part of the group following Ziling rushed into the garden and surrounded the three of Gu Qingluan.
Maid A and B were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and the two of them stuck together, their faces full of panic.
Gu Qingluan also panicked.
With a pale and weak face, she looks harmless to humans and animals.
"Ziling, are you sure it's her?" The middle-aged man standing next to Ziling asked suspiciously.
"Housekeeper, I won't admit my mistake, this woman looks so weak, what can she do in the back kitchen? Would you put such a person in the back kitchen?"
The butler shook his head.
He would never recruit such a weak person into the mansion.
Ziling is even more confident: "Besides, didn't she say that she works in the back kitchen? People in the back kitchen don't work in the back kitchen, what are they doing here?"
The steward nodded, and looked at Gu Qingluan with deep eyes: "Tell me, who sent you?"
Although he saw the girl in front of him as suspicious, he didn't think she could hurt the eldest son.
Or, she is an undercover agent sent by a hostile force.
Either, she is an accomplice to the killer.
Gu Qingluan said nervously: "I... I was actually brought in by the eldest son."
"Nonsense! How could the eldest son bring you in!" Ziling's voice suddenly became sharp, and her eyes slashed at Gu Qingluan fiercely like knives.
