The noble lady who transmigrated into a book had no choice but to fight monsters and level up.

Chapter 146 The Murder Caused by a Pearl Hairpin

Then, an oval-shaped and large bird's nest fell straight into the mouth of the well!

When everyone was astonished, about a dozen cats jumped out from all around and jumped into the well one after another!

Soon, a sharp meow came from the bottom of the well!Occasionally there are birds chirping!
Moreover, the cry became more and more intense and shrill!
Chen Zhuoxin's expression changed slightly, he took a few steps back, and whispered something to Yin Hong.

Yin Hong bowed his head and hadn't left yet, only to hear everyone exclaim!
Chen Zhuoxin and Yin Hong looked towards the source of the exclamation. A black and white cat jumped out of the well, stood on the edge of the well, and looked at everyone warily.

There seemed to be blood on the cat's mouth, and it held a shining pearl hairpin in its mouth. A larger pearl on the pearl hairpin shone brightly in the sunlight.

Even from a distance, the pearl hairpin held in the cat's mouth is expensive.

Everyone was very surprised by the scene they saw before them. How could there be such a pearl hairpin down the well?
So everyone looked at Guan Jingqiu and Ji Jun again. Did the hairpin fall when they went down the well?
Guan Jingqiu touched her head subconsciously, and she could tell that this pearl hairpin was not something she used to like or wear, and the style was not what she wore today. However, she was a little guilty, so she touched her headgear carefully.

The pearl hairpin on her head did not fall off, Guan Jingqiu felt relieved.

But Ji Jun didn't move, she could tell at a glance that this pearl hairpin wasn't hers, even if it was hers, she couldn't show any panic at this moment.

What's more, since the pearl hairpin has fallen into the well, it is right to regard it as lost.Can it be taken from the cat's mouth now?

What a drop!

The behavior of the two people after seeing Zhuchai fell into the eyes of everyone, and they stood up and down.

I just feel that Guan Jingqiu panicked immediately, which is really out of style.

On the other hand, Ji Yun, who is generous and unmoved, has the courage of "the mountain collapses in front of him and does not change his color".

Many people began to have a different impression of Ji Jun.

At this time, I only heard a lady whispering,

"This pearl hairpin looks familiar, it looks like a new style from Rongbao Pavilion!"

Some of the bold ones in the crowd moved forward a few steps and saw that they were indeed several new styles of pearl hairpins recently released by Rongbao Pavilion.

Everyone was stunned, surprised again, and then looked around at the people around them.

Some people came to the well shortly after hearing the movement here, but some people involuntarily touched the pearl hairpin on their heads.

At this time, suddenly only one noble lady said,

"Miss Meilin, this pearl hairpin looks a bit like the one on your head."

Everyone heard the words and looked at Meilin. Sure enough, no matter the size, the position of the gem on the hairpin, the color, or the style, they were indeed very similar.

The only difference is that Meilin's pearl hairpin is embedded with a few emeralds the size of small fingernails.

And there are a few pearls on the pearl hairpin in the cat's mouth.

Ji Jun squinted his eyes, looked carefully at the hairpin in the cat's mouth, then at Meilin, and then looked around at the other noble ladies, and sure enough, he saw that the styles of the hairpins on the heads of the other noble ladies were obviously different from this one.

This is easy to understand, because most noble ladies are unwilling to wear the same headgear as others.

Just like those girls in the previous life who were unwilling to bump into their shirts, noble girls are willing to wear the same or similar hair accessories unless they have a good relationship with each other, reflecting the intimacy.

But why is the pearl hairpin in the cat's mouth exactly the same as the hairpin on Meilin's head?

Are you suggesting something?
Meilin felt a little uncomfortable being seen by everyone, but she had seen the big scene after all, so she was still calm at the moment.

It's just that Meilin's facial expression became obviously stiff, showing her uneasiness and displeasure.

On the other hand, Yu Yu was the first to become unhappy.

Yu Yu thought that after all, he and Meilin both came from the Huai'an Marquis Mansion.Looking at Meilin like this, there is a lot of suspicion in her eyes, which is naturally tantamount to despising the Huai'an Marquis Mansion.

What's more, when Yu Yu saw this pearl hairpin, he remembered that he had one too!
Yu Jue recalled that it was after the fourth round of selection for the prince and concubine, and a female official in the palace gave each of these beautiful women one by one.

She and Meilin each got one, and her pearl hairpin was made of pearls, but from a distance, her pearl seemed to be a little smaller than this one.

Today, when she was dressing up for the wedding, Aunt Yuan specially asked the little maid to go to each courtyard to find out what jewelry other people were wearing.

Aunt Yuan said that even the two sisters should not wear the same clothes, they will look petty, and if they are like the ladies in other houses, they will easily serve as foils for others.

Yu Yu also knew that she was running for the concubine this time to serve as a foil for others.

She still has this bit of self-knowledge, among other things, in terms of appearance, she is not as good as several unsuccessful ladies, not to mention talent, or family background.

When Aunt Yuan mentioned this, Yu Yu thought that there were several noble ladies who got this pearl hairpin that day.If I wear the same clothes as others, wouldn't I offend others?

Anyway, it's not that he doesn't have other jewelry, so Yu Yu didn't bring this pearl hairpin.

Seeing everyone glance around at this moment, focusing on Meilin's pearl hairpin, Yu Yu said,

"It's just a pearl hairpin, what's the big deal? After we ran for the crown prince concubine that day, many ladies got the pearl hairpin from Rongbao Pavilion. It's just like this, but the gemstones are different!"

Yu Yu looked so rare and weird, but she was actually a little complacent. After all, very few of the candidates for the prince and concubine could enter the fifth round!

Just relying on this pearl hairpin, she already has the capital to brag about!

When everyone heard this, their expressions became even weirder.

At that time, many people also heard that after the fourth round, some noble ladies received pearl hairpins from the Rongbao Pavilion from the female officials in the palace.

Now that this pearl hairpin appears here, doesn't it look even more weird?

Guan Jingqiu is doing everything possible to not want Chen Guogong and Ji Jun to fill this dry well at this moment, so she will not let go of any opportunity to change the direction of the situation.

Guan Jingqiu pretended to be concerned,
"Oh! Maybe some thief stole some lady's pearl hairpin, and then accidentally threw it into this well? Or maybe some lady accidentally fell into the well?"

Everyone looked at Guan Jingqiu with weird eyes again, guessing wildly there, Guan Jingqiu had no time to take care of everyone, and still said to herself,
"Maybe the thief accidentally fell into the well after stealing the pearl hairpin? Grandpa, can you send someone down to see if any thief or a lady fell down? It's a matter of human life, or Be careful! Or is there any other jewelry? After all, the loss of the girl’s personal belongings is a matter of reputation, so please be more considerate to the Duke!"

Speaking of this, Chen Guogong naturally had to insist on filling the well regardless, not to mention he didn't want to fill it, and he had to dig it after filling it.

Although he is not afraid of trouble, he is also unwilling to make such a fuss.

Moreover, he didn't want to kill Guan Jingqiu's brothers and sisters at the bottom of the well, but he just took the opportunity to warn Guan Jingqiu not to play such tricks in the Duke's mansion!
So Chen Zhuoxin motioned to Yin Hong who was beside him, and Yin Hong sent a servant to go down the rope to the bottom of the well to check.

Soon the boy at the bottom of the well let out a scream!
"Dead!"

The people on Inoue could hear it clearly, but they couldn't believe it.

Some couldn't hear it very clearly, but felt that the sound was very piercing and shrill, and they were confused.

When Ji Jun and Ji Min heard it clearly, they were extremely shocked!
Guan Jingqiu was a little confused...

Yin Hong's complexion sank, and he ordered another servant to say,

"Go down and have a look!"

The servant followed orders and went down into the well, Ji Yun thought, the bottom of the well is quite spacious, and four or five people will not be a problem.

And it's well ventilated, and there's no risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Soon, the well rope shook.

Yin Hong looked at Chen Zhuoxin solemnly, and Chen Zhuoxin nodded slightly.

Yin Hong rushed down and shouted,
"You all come up!"

Ji Yun thought, "You all come up", not "You all come up", it should be to get the person below up too!

Just, why did that person die?
Soon, the boy who went down into the well for the first time climbed up, his face was pale and ugly, his lips were still trembling, when he saw Chen Guogong and Yin Hong, he was full of panic and wanted to say something, but Yin Hong ruthlessly Glaring hard, he left silently.

Then, only a low exclamation was heard from the crowd, and a disheveled man was dragged up!
But because this person was hanging upside down, and was thrown heavily to the ground without making a sound, he should be the "dead person" in the boy's mouth.

And then the boy who went down for the second time came up from the bottom of the well.

Ji Yun was secretly puzzled, she had indeed sprinkled medicine, but it was a comatose powder, and it would not be fatal.

You can see that Guan Jingqiu quickly regained her sanity after being exposed to the powder.

Could it be that he was too deep in a coma and was mistaken for a "dead person" by the servant?
At this moment, Yin Hong tested his breath with his hand, then felt the man's pulse, and finally, put his hand on the pulse of the carotid artery in his neck.

Ji Jun secretly praised, not bad, not bad!
However, Yin Hong shook his head at Chen Guogong and said coldly,
"My lord, the man is dead."

"Ah?" The ladies onlookers exclaimed.

Quite a few ladies in the middle of the boudoir felt weak in their legs and feet, and sat on the ground!Even the timid servant girl didn't help her young lady up, but fell down with her instead!

What's more, he passed out directly!

All of a sudden, people are really turned on their backs!
When Guan Jingqiu saw the man's clothes on the ground, her heart beat faster, she gasped for breath, and there was a "gurgling" sound in her throat, and she couldn't say a word!

After a long time, she rushed in front of Ji Jun, shaking her arms and fingers, trembling in front of Ji Jun's eyes, not knowing if she was going to point at Ji Jun's face or body.

Guan Jingqiu exerted all her strength, her eyes were about to split open, bloodshot eyes could be seen vaguely, it seemed like she was trying to suppress the rage, she squeezed out a word from her throat,

"You, killed someone! I want your life!"
