Chapter 3: Falling Water Mystery

Chapter 3: Falling Water Mystery

The first thing Gu Yuqi did after she recovered was to take a good tour of the Dingyuan Hou Mansion.

She was wearing a pink jacket with a pink pleated skirt underneath. Her hair was tied into double rings and a jade-carved butterfly hairpin was pinned to it. Although she was only ten years old, she was already graceful and graceful.

Behind her is the personal maid Rouge.

For Rouge, Gu Yuqi is relieved and grateful. In the previous life, she has been with her all her life. She has seen her most beautiful appearance and seen her embarrassment when she was in distress. Even Gu Yuqi set fire to Gong Rouge and accompanied her all the time. She was burned to death in the palace. Gu Yuqi also wondered if this Rouge was reborn like her. After several trials, she found that Rouge was a ten-year-old girl, the same as before. Rouge was the same age as her. She was an orphan who was rescued by Liang's family on the way to Beijing. Liang's family saw that this girl was neat and straight, and she was the same age as her own daughter, so she let her follow. Gu Yuqi's side.

Walking to the flower pond in the backyard, Rouge grabbed her lady's sleeve nervously, "Miss, it snowed again yesterday, so let's not go there."

Seeing Rouge looking like she was facing a great enemy, Gu Yuqi patted Rouge's hand comfortingly, "What are you afraid of?" she asked.

"Last time, the lady brought the servant here, and the servant walked away for a while, and the lady slipped into the pool." Rouge pulled Gu Yuqi's sleeve and said nothing to let her go near the pool again.

Gu Yuqi turned to look at the pool that almost drowned her. The water in the pool was very deep, and Gu Yuqi knew it, because several people drowned here later. In summer, the lotus flowers in the pond are in full bloom, but it's winter now, and these days are a bit colder than the day Gu Yuqi fell into the water, and a thin layer of ice has formed on the water. There are fences around the pool. It has just snowed. The red fence is covered with a layer of silver and white. The fence has been newly painted, and the red is bright.

fence? Gu Yuqi's brows furrowed slightly. She gestured the height of the fence from a distance. She is only ten years old now, and she hasn't grown up yet, and the fence is almost reaching her chest.

A trace of coldness gradually appeared in Gu Yuqi's eyes.

In her last life, she only went for her happiness, but she never thought about why the original Gu Yuqi would fall into the water. In this life, she relived her life again, and her mood was very different from before. When the fence reached her chest, she didn't think she would. So easy to slide into the pool water.

After she fell into the water and woke up, the people in the house said that she slipped by herself, the fence is so high, you slip one up and show me.

Seeing all Gu Yuqi's thoughts stopped, Rouge just dismissed the idea of ​​going to the pool as her young lady, and was still happy, but saw Gu Yuqi took her hand and walked over with her firmness, Rouge was in a hurry "Miss, you can't go there."

"What are you afraid of? Just because you fall into the water once, you can't go to the water's edge. According to this principle, don't you stop eating after being choked while eating?" Gu Yuqi said.

Rouge certainly couldn't say enough about Gu Yuqi, and she was pulled over by the lady with a terrified face. Unable to stop her, she could only follow the young lady carefully and never leave for half a step. The last time she left the young lady, and the young lady fell into the water and almost died. This time, she has to protect the young lady well.

Gu Yuqi carefully inspected the fence. Above the fence, there would be a pillar carved in the shape of a lotus flower every other section. The pillar and the pillar were connected by a whole piece of wood. The lacquer also traces the gold edge. This kind of fence is not even a puppy slipping into it, let alone a person her age.

Gu Yuqi didn't think that a ten-year-old girl in ancient times would be so naughty that she climbed over the fence by herself. You must know that she is the young lady of the Hou residence. Although she has been living in Jiangnan with her mother before, her mother's family is also a family in Jiangnan, and her upbringing of girls will not allow her to do this.

"Rouge, are the clothes I wore when I fell into the water still there?" Gu Yuqi asked.

"Yes, Madam said that the dress was not auspicious, so she asked the servant to throw it away. The servant has been with the lady every day these days. Before she has time to throw it away, she will keep it in the servant's room." Rouge replied.

"Is that clothes stained with paint?" Gu Yuqi asked.

"No." Rouge thought for a while, then shook her head and said.

If she climbed over the fence by herself, there would definitely be traces of paint on her clothes. Gu Yuqi's little hand touched the surface of the fence that had just been painted. A few days ago, when she was recovering from her illness, she heard with her own ears that some old women came to report to the government with her mother. repairs. This fence was newly painted the day before Gu Yuqi fell into the water.

Rouge said this to confirm what Rouge had in mind, and her eyes became a little colder.

I really didn't expect that someone in this Hou's mansion wanted her to die.

In the previous life, all her thoughts were spent on how to be in the limelight. Liang Shi died early, and her spirit was very high. She didn't pay attention to the twists and turns of the back house, but now she thinks about it carefully. , Could it have something to do with the people in the mansion? It's just that the few times her luck was extremely good, and she escaped the past without any risk.

Later, she asked to marry as a concubine, and she was peaceful and quiet for a year after marriage, which made her not think about other places.

Gu Yuqi sighed, although she is a good time-travel girl, but her vision is too high, and she ignores the things around her. Thinking like this, there are some reasons for the end of setting fire to the palace in the previous life.

"Am I rescued from here?" Gu Yuqi walked along the corridor with Rouge, then stopped and asked.

The flower branches in the flowerbed outside the fence here have a mess of trampled marks. It is winter now, and those flowers and plants have long since withered, so the traces of being trampled on are even more obvious, although it has been a few days since Gu Yuqi fell into the water and was rescued. Yes, but the traces are still there.

Rouge nodded. When she came back, she found that the young lady was missing. She came here after a long search, but found a figure floating in the water. She was frightened at that time, and the people in the water looked like Her own lady, but she hopes not, so she can only call someone first. But the lady was indeed rescued here.

Gu Yuqi nodded. Since she was rescued from here, it means that this place was the closest to her in the water at the time. If she was thrown into the water, she might be nearby. She is now a half-year-old girl. Although she is not heavy, she has a bit of weight. How far can she be thrown out?

Gu Yuqi carefully inspected the surrounding railings. The paint on the fence was rubbed off at the time, and it was repaired later, leaving no useful clues. Besides, Rouge called someone that day, and the place was a mess, and there were many small children. Both the servant and the maid were covered with paint, and Gu Yuqi felt that it was more difficult to check the paint on clothes.

"Tell me about the situation that day carefully." Gu Yuqi was quiet for a while, and then said to Rouge.

Rouge nodded. After the young lady fell into the water, she told his wife and Lord Hou about the scene of that day, and now she will tell Gu Yuqi more systematically and meticulously than the previous two times. Gu Yuqi didn't find anything unusual after listening to it.

At that time, the former Gu Yuqi saw a beautiful puppy in the yard, so she and Rouge chased the puppy and ran here. The puppy disappeared after running. She and Rouge went to find them separately. The backyard is very large. The pond said to be a pond is actually an artificial lake.

She has the memory of her and Rouge chasing the puppy. When she crossed over, she kept some memory fragments belonging to the original Gu Yuqi, but there were not many, just like the photos left in her mind, they were not coherent. She couldn't remember a thing about how she fell into the water.

In the previous life, she was frightened after falling into the water, and she couldn't remember the previous things and was fooled. Her original intention at that time was to hide the fact that she was no longer the original Gu Yuqi. She didn't even think about why she fell into the water.

So later, both Lord Hou and Mrs. felt that she fell into the water because the puppy's feet slipped after chasing him, and they didn't investigate it further. They just told her not to go to the water alone, it was too dangerous.

Gu Yuqi felt that they had overlooked a very important thing, where did the puppy come from?

A puppy would not run out of the Hou residence for no reason. She didn't think much about it in her previous life, but now she has to think about it.
