Death of Granny Lin
Marquis Kang's estate.
In the ancestral hall, everyone was shocked to hear that Granny Lin was dead.
The face of the servant girl who came to report the news was even paler. She had just entered Granny Lin's room to look for her when she opened the door and saw the person inside lying on the ground. She went forward to check if she was breathing and found out that she was already dead. Recently, the Marquis's estate had already been in a state of panic because of the haunting. Now that someone had died, it naturally made people feel uneasy. They were afraid that the haunting would fall on their heads.
Ji Yunshu was shocked, but she wasn't afraid.
She had just seen Granny Lin last night. Although she was scrawny and stooped, her steps were steady and she could be considered to be healthy. How could she have died so suddenly?
She asked the frightened maid, "How did Granny Lin die? Where did he die? "
"She … died in the house. When I went over to call her, I saw her lying on the ground motionlessly. When I went over to take a look, I realized that she was already dead. At that time, I was really scared." His voice was trembling, and his tears were filled with fear.
Ji Yunshu said, "Bring me there."
"Ah?"
"What 'ah'? He's dead. I'll go take a look. "Her tone was not harsh.
The little girl thought to herself, 'Isn't Teacher Ji going to investigate the matter of the vengeful spirit? What was he going to do now?
However, he still agreed. Trembling, he led Ji Yunshu and Jing Rong to Granny Lin's house.
At this moment, Marquis Kang also arrived and entered the room a few steps ahead of her.
Whether it was inside the house or outside, there were many people around, discussing spiritedly.
"Could it be that I've been possessed?"
"Maybe. Granny Lin has been guarding the ancestral hall alone all night. Maybe she really did attract some unclean things."
"In my opinion, it must be the Little Gongzi's ghost."
"Don't scare me." The man crossed his arms and rubbed them a few times. His teeth felt cold.
The brawny man next to him frowned and said with a determined expression, "Look, ever since the young master lost his shoes, when has our mansion ever been peaceful? Last night, I heard the young master's laughter again. I was so scared that I didn't dare to go to the bathroom. "
The burly man swallowed his saliva and trembled.
Ji Yunshu calmly strode into the room while the crowd gathered in a huddle and whispered to each other.
The room was neither small nor big, and the furnishings were pitifully few. There was a bed, a wardrobe, a table and a chair, and two pear blossom chairs with worn lacquer. There weren't many things in the room, and it was tidy and clean.
It was an ordinary servant's room.
Marquis Kang stood in the room, shaking his head and sighing at the emaciated corpse lying on the floor. He muttered, "Madam Lin has been working for this marquis since I came to Jingzhou from the capital. Now she's gone just like that … Sigh!"
She lowered her head and wiped away her tears!
Granny Lin's body was lying on the floor with her feet facing the door and her head facing the bed.
There was also an overturned tray and a few broken glasses.
From the looks of it, he must have accidentally tripped, and his forehead hit the ground, killing him on the spot.
After all, he was old, and it was easy for him to get into trouble.
Just as Ji Yunshu was about to go closer to take a look, someone suddenly barged into the courtyard, pushing aside the crowd and causing a commotion.
Turning around, he saw a burly man in his forties standing at the entrance in a daze. He stared at Granny Lin's corpse in shock. The gazes of the people around him were filled with sympathy and pity.
The man stared blankly for a long time. His strong legs trembled weakly as he walked with great difficulty to Granny Lin's body.
Then, he knelt down with a "plop" and cried out "mother" in a heart-wrenching voice.
He hugged the corpse and wailed loudly.
A man's toughness would eventually crumble and become extremely fragile when he was separated from his family.
"Mother, what's wrong with you? I only went out for a while, why did you … "
He began to wail.
Marquis Kang comforted him, "Cai Da, don't be sad. Your mother must have tripped and fallen. My condolences, this marquis will arrange a proper funeral for her."
Cai Da didn't listen and continued to cry.
"Your mother is getting on in years. This is inevitable."
I won't listen!
"Sister Lin has worked in the manor for so many years, this marquis will not treat her unfairly. Moreover, her spirit in heaven would not want to see you like this."
I won't listen, I won't listen!
In the room, the tragic cries reverberated.
Jing Rong didn't like such a scene, so he stood a few meters away from the door. The servants and maids didn't dare to come near him, as if he was a porcupine.
As for Ji Yunshu, when Cai Da flipped Granny Lin's corpse over in his arms, her gaze lingered on the wound on Granny Lin's forehead for a long time.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, as if sensing something was wrong. She took small steps forward and squatted down to examine.
However, Cai Da refused to let go.
"Can this one take a look?" Ji Yunshu asked gently.
Cai Da glared at her with bloodshot eyes. "My mother is already dead. What are you still looking at?"
"This one thinks that there might be a reason for this, so I want to take a look."
Ugh!
As soon as he said that, there was an uproar inside and outside the room.
There was a wound on Granny Lin's forehead, and there were trays and broken cups scattered around her. It was obvious that she had slipped and crashed into the ground.
Why did it sound like there was a reason behind it from Teacher Ji's mouth?
Marquis Kang was puzzled. He stepped forward and asked, "Teacher Ji, why do you say that?"
Ji Yunshu was actually very conflicted. She had only said a few words, but there was no need for everyone to stare at her, right? She had also said that there might be a reason for this. It was a possibility! But these people all heard it as a yes.
Damn it! Damn it!
Ji Yunshu's expression twisted slightly. "This one only wants to take a look at the wound on Granny Lin's forehead. There's no other reason."
"What happened to the wound?"
"Marquis, this one hasn't seen it yet. Once I see it, I'll know if it was a fall or … something else. "
Marquis Kang didn't waste any time and immediately said to Cai Da, "Cai Da, let go of your mother and let Teacher Ji take a look."
But …
Cai Da refused to let go. He hugged Granny Lin's stiff body and cried until his eyes were brimming with tears.
After all, it was normal for him to be so heartbroken that he wouldn't let go of his mother.
Until …
Marquis Kang ordered a few servants to pull him away.
"Mother …"
Cai Daren was dragged up and dragged to the side.
Only then did Ji Yunshu pull up her loose, ash-colored sleeves and turn Granny Lin's head towards her. She carefully examined the wound on her forehead.
Her skin and flesh were split open, and some parts of her skin were even crumpled into a ball. There were still pieces of flesh hanging on the surface, and her bones could be vaguely seen. Blood flowed out from the wound on her forehead and onto her hair, ears, and eyes …
There was even a puddle of blood on the ground!
She must have fallen to her death.
