2158 Chapter 2158-Yan

Gu Xin asked about the situation two hours before Bai s.h.i.+jies death and the four maidservants all said that nothing special happened.

It was the same for granny cen and Yan.

Granny cen was mainly accompanying Zheng Wei and brother Yi. Brother Yis room was also a little far from Bai s.h.i.+jies room, so only ah Yan was alone almost the entire afternoon.

He said that he had been standing guard at the door of the study. Recently, due to the death of the Prince of Donglin, the atmosphere in the residence had been bad. It was rare for Bai s.h.i.+jie to stay in the study for so long. He had some free time and took a nap on the stone steps outside the study.

Has there been no movement in the room? Gu Xin asked.

No, I didnt, Ah Yan scratched his head and said, a little embarra.s.sed, Ive been a little drowsy and havent slept well recently. Perhaps theres some movement inside, but if its not too loud, it wont wake this lowly one up.

Then, when first grandmother said that she had sent someone to ask you if eldest young master had already woken up, what time was it? Gu Xin asked again.

It was around 5 pm because the sky had just turned dark. After a while, the old lady came over and asked the young master to go out for dinner. At that time, I even entered the study room. In the study room, young master was sleeping with a thin blanket over him, so I did not wake him up. Who knew that he would be so sad?

If he had woken her up, perhaps this would not have happened.

His heart ached for his young master. He hadnt had much rest in the past few days. He thought that since his young master could sleep, he should let him sleep a little longer. Who knew how long the princess would be investigating?

This ah Yan was bought by Bai s.h.i.+jie when he was young. He was not a servant bought by the w.a.n.g family.

He was loyal and devoted to Bai s.h.i.+jie, and he only wanted Bai s.h.i.+jie to live a good life. This was the heartache he felt for Bai s.h.i.+jie from the bottom of his heart.

Youre saying that when the sky had just turned dark, you entered the study and your young master was resting under a thin blanket? Did you see his face? Gu Xin asked with a frown.

No, I didnt, Ah Yan shook his head and said, the young master was sleeping on his side, facing the inside. I cant see his face, only the back of his head.

do you remember his sleeping position? Gu Xin continued to ask.

It seems, it seems to be curled up. Ah Yan thought for a moment and said, after the Crown Prince pa.s.sed away, young master has been sleeping like this. There was a period of time when young masters health was not good, and he often called for a doctor. This lowly one even secretly asked the doctor, and the doctor said that because of the crown princes death, young master had suffered a huge blow and did not sleep well. He slept in the most comfortable position.

s.h.i.+jie, my s.h.i.+jie Yingluo! as soon as ah Yan finished speaking, a heart-wrenching cry came from outside.

Gu Xin asked Yan and the others to step aside.

The fastest to arrive was naturally the first branchs mother and son, the crown princes wife and the Bai familys fourth young lady, Bai s.h.i.+ying.

Bai s.h.i.+ying and a maidservant supported the crown princes wife, Zhang s.h.i.+, who could no longer walk.

Princess, Princess, I beg you, you must find the murderer, find the murderer who killed my son! When they reached the hall, Zhang s.h.i.+ seemed to have suddenly regained her strength. She broke free from her daughter and the servant girls hands and stumbled towards Gu Xin. She knelt down in front of her and kowtowed while crying.

Mother! Bai s.h.i.+ying quickly stepped forward to stop her.

Zhang s.h.i.+ had just fallen ill a few days ago and had not yet fully recovered, so how could she do these movements?
