The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Chapter 269: Hong'er

Ah!

Watching Mingyan cover his neck and roll back and forth on the ground, he couldn't stop the blood from rushing out.

Lin Daiyu's small face turned pale with fear, and her whole body was as soft as if without bones. The small flower hoe in her hand also seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, making it difficult to control!

But she still clung to the hoe tightly and remained vigilant, watching Mingyan to prevent him from jumping up and hurting Baoyu again.

However, this concern was clearly unnecessary.

Because Lin Daiyu was in a panic just now, her head was slightly tilted, and she didn't hit Mingyan's back neck with the hoe. Instead, she hit his neck and made a big cut on the left side, cutting off Mingyan's carotid artery!

So Lin Daiyu watched helplessly as Mingyan rolled from a moan to convulsions in his limbs and finally gradually lost his voice.

Is he

Dead?

Did Mingyan die because of her?!

Lin Daiyu only felt a blank in her mind, after all, no matter how precocious she was, she was just a thirteen-year-old girl.

At this moment, an equally trembling hand grabbed the flower hoe and inexplicably snatched it away.

This... This dog

Just as Jia Baoyu was holding the flower hoe, he desperately squeezed out a smile that was even uglier than crying. With two belligerent expressions, he said, "Unexpectedly... He wanted to kill the Master but was... Killed with a hoe, and... He deserved it... He deserved it

How clever was Lin Daiyu?

She immediately guessed naturally that he didn't want her to carry the reputation of killing him. Even if she killed someone to save him, as a young woman, doing so could still attract criticism.

Brother Bao

Lin Daiyu had tears in her eyes as she was about to say something, but Baoyu said sternly, "Hurry up and call Xiren to report to the front. Just say that this murderous slave was just planning to kill the Master and has already been killed by me.

Seeing that what he said was beyond doubt, Lin Daiyu bit her cherry lips slightly and had to turn around and run towards the Yihong Courtyard.

She was in a state of panic all the way, and when she arrived at the Yihong Courtyard, her heart was pounding fiercely. She struggled to cross the half-foot-high threshold, and suddenly it was dark in front of her. She couldn't help but fall back on the steps.

Lady Lin?

A petite-looking rough servant girl was carrying a bucket of water to water flowers in the yard when she suddenly saw such a scene. She was so scared that she threw away the bucket and ran close to help Daiyu. She nervously expressed concern and said, "Lady Lin, what's wrong with you?

Lin Daiyu was awakened by her call and then grabbed the maid's wrist with her backhand. She trembled and asked, "Xi... Xiren..."

Sister Xiren has gone out.

The servant girl was quite clever. Just looking at Daiyu's appearance, she quickly said, "Sister Qingwen also happens to not be at home. If you have anything, please let me know first. My name is Hong'er, and the steward in the accounting room is my father.

Since neither Xiren nor Qingwen were present, Lin Daiyu had to explain what Jia Baoyu had just said to this little girl.

Although Honger expression changed after hearing this, she didn't act in a disorderly manner. She carefully advised, "Lady Lin, since Mingyan has already died, it doesnt matter if it delays a little longer. I'll help you in the house to rest first, otherwise, if you have any situation, I won't be able to explain it to Second Brother Bao.

As she spoke, she helped Lin Daiyu into the hall and shouted, "Someone, come quickly.

Who is shouting and screaming?

With just a few shouts, Qiu Wen, a second-class maid, flashed out of the room. Seeing Lin Daiyu's wilting appearance, she couldn't help but be frightened.

As she was busy, she also stepped forward to help her, while scolding indiscriminately, "Honger, what's the matter with you?! Lady Lin hasn't been sick for a while, but she became like this after running into you for the first time.

The original name of this child was Lin Hongyu, but due to violating Jia Baoyu's taboo, it was changed to the term Honger.

She was both well-established and not inferior in appearance to Qingwen and Xiren. Naturally, she was not willing to be a rough servant girl all the time, so she appeared more prominent in her daily life. She always wanted to put on a name in front of Baoyu, which has offended several big servant girls.

At this moment, she heard Qiu Wen making her own raft again. Although Honger was very angry in her heart, she also knew that this was not the time to argue with her. She forced herself to help Lin Daiyu to the window, and without saying a word, she ran straight out.

What are you running for? You... You... This little hoof.

Qiu Wen didn't know why, so she chased and cursed a few times. Seeing that Hong'er had disappeared without a trace, she had to go back to serve Lin Daiyu resentfully.

After Honger left the Yihong Courtyard, she ran wildly. She was already sweating profusely by the time she reached the front yard. She wanted to take her handkerchief and simply wipe it to avoid losing her impression in front of the Master.

Unexpectedly, this touch made her feel empty. She searched her whole body but couldn't find a handkerchief. She had to use her sleeve lining to casually wipe a few times, and then she searched along the way and found it near the east living room.

At this moment, the drama of identifying the real culprit was still ongoing, and the living room was crowded with forty to fifty people, all of whom were young men with strong blood.

Seeing a delicate woman approaching with a flushed face and gasping for breath, the young people couldn't help but become a bit agitated, their eyes spinning straight in front of and behind Hong'er.

If it were other regular maids. Being stared at like this might even make them feel like walking with garlic.

But Honger was calm and tight and entered the living room with a big, square gaze. She respectfully greeted Jia Lian and was about to inquire about the official position in the Central Judicial Office when she saw Sun Shaozong next to Jia Lian.

Back then, she had also seen Sun Shaozong several times from afar and, naturally, wouldnt be unfamiliar with his massive and majestic figure.

So Hong'er quickly bowed and reported, "Lord Sun, our Second Master Bao asked me to spread a message that Mingyan, who killed people and stole goods, had just attempted to kill Second Master Bao and had already been killed by him.

What?

Jia Lian jumped up in shock and said, "He... He killed Mingyan again?

Previously, Jia Baoyu used his hand over Jiao Da to kill Lai Da, which was already unbelievable. Now, he has even personally killed his close [former] servant!

This

Was he still a precious lump in Rongguo Mansion? Clearly, he was a murderer!

Although Sun Shaozong was also somewhat surprised that Jia Baoyu had killed Mingyan, the souls he held were nearly a hundred, so he naturally wouldn't be as alarmed as Jia Lian.

So he stood up and asked, "Lady, where is Brother Bao now?

Your Excellency, you may just call me Hong'er.

Hong'er took the opportunity to say her name before obediently answering, Our Master is currently in the peach blossom forest near the Qinfang Gate Bridge in the southeast corner of the provincial parentage courtyard!

Jia Lian also regained his composure at this moment and hurriedly ordered, "Then why don't you hurry up and lead the way?"

Hong'er agreed, then leaned aside and led these two people, along with Qiu Yunfei and others, out of the east living room.

The young men outside the door, after watching the group go away, burst into a loud uproar and chattered about Jia Baoyu's killing of Mingyan, adding a touch of awe to their words.

Not to mention how they discussed it all.

When Hong'er led the crowd to the vicinity of the other courtyard, she saw a young man with half a shoulder hanging, wandering outside the gate of the other courtyard. Seeing her coming, he happily waved a handkerchief in the wind.

Honger face changed several times, struggled for a while with mixed emotions, then turned a blind eye and led everyone into the other courtyard.

The young man watched her leave in a daze, and the expectations on his face turned into various forms of helplessness. He wandered alone outside the gate, but he couldn't bear to leave.
