Chapter 47: The Truth of the Year
Lu Yunxi saw that there was no one around, and the crampedness on his face was a little more, his hands were propped on the table, his body leaned forward slightly, and he stared at Si Tingyan's side face.
If it weren't for her self-reliance in the past, Si Tingyan would even think that Lu Yunxi would have confessed to herself.
"Si Gongzi, do you remember Yun Ran?"
Lu Yunxi's words pulled Si Tingyan's thoughts into the current situation.
At first, he still had a little reaction, but after a while, he understood who Lu Yunxi was asking.
"You mean the person on the call sheet you saw yesterday?" Si Tingyan turned his head away, glanced at Lu Yunxi's side face, frowned, and asked softly.
The corners of Lu Yunxi's eyebrows were furrowed, and he held the handkerchief in front of him with both hands, as if he was about to crush the handkerchief.
She nodded, pursed her lower lip, and glanced at Si Tingyan again, with a slightly embarrassed look, "She...... She's my mother. ”
"What?"
When Si Tingyan heard this, he raised the corners of his eyebrows in surprise and stared at Lu Yunxi incredulously.
If Lu Yunxi didn't say it, he wouldn't think so. It's just that now that he heard the relationship between the two, Si Tingyan realized that this Lu Yunxi was indeed a little similar to Yun Ran.
Although Yun Ran was already out of breath when she arrived that day, her face was white and slender, and she was deeply impressed.
At this moment, it seems that Lu Yunxi's cheeks are indeed white, delicate and slender, with a standard melon seed face.
It's just that, compared to that cloud dye, Lu Yunxi is a little more delicate.
"I understand, so your rouge shop called Dyeing Xi Pavilion because you took two words from the names of the two of you?" Si Tingyan raised the corners of his eyebrows, looked at Lu Yunxi, and said in a low voice.
Lu Yunxi's eyes drooped, and there was a little more sadness in his eyes.
She nodded slightly, "yes." My mother's life was bitter and she went early. Over the years, all the squire's mansions have been controlled by Song Lan, and I have only recently learned about many things. ”
There are always some stories in this high-ranking family that are difficult to tell to outsiders.
Especially in the backyard, this woman is jealous, and sometimes there will be some restless things in the house, if it really comes to a serious moment, it will indeed give birth to a life lawsuit.
Thinking about it, Si Tingyan turned his head and looked at Lu Yunxi with a somewhat sympathetic look.
She raised her head, hooked the corners of her lips, and showed a smile, "I heard you talk about the Chengdong Mansion that day, and I knew that you were the last to see my mother." I know that you are a good doctor, and if there is anything strange about my mother's death, you will definitely be able to see it. Right?"
Si Tingyan frowned, but he didn't know how to answer for a while.
In his eyes, this Lu Yunxi is just the daughter of a nobleman who is greedy for money. Although she knew that her life in this backyard might not be satisfactory, she didn't want to hide such a thing behind her.
Seeing that Si Tingyan didn't answer, only staring at himself, Lu Yunxi's heart was also tight.
She stood up, curtsied to Si Tingyan, and said softly, "Si Gongzi, although you and I work together to do business, we are just business partners. If you don't want to be involved in the squire's mansion, I can understand that. It's just that, right now, I really don't have anyone to look for but to turn to you. ”
As he spoke, Lu Yunxi was about to make a big salute.
Seeing this, Si Tingyan hurriedly held Lu Yunxi's shoulder.
He held Lu Yunxi's slender shoulder, patted her on the back gently, and helped her sit back at the table, "Miss Lu, I didn't mean that." Since you and I are friends, how can I sit idly by and ignore each other's needs?"
He frowned and thought for a while before he suddenly realized and nodded.
"What did you remember?" Seeing this, Lu Yunxi asked eagerly.
Si Tingyan turned his head sideways, stared at Lu Yunxi's side face, and recounted the events of the day one by one.
On that day, the sky had darkened, and the Xinglin Pavilion had closed its doors as before.
Si Tingyan ordered everything in the store and was about to leave, but he heard the wooden door lifted.
The person who came seemed to be very anxious, and knocked very hard.
Si Tingyan instructed the apprentice to bring the man into the shop, only to learn that the man was the one who had come to seek medical treatment.
Although Si Tingyan is no longer a big visitor, back then, he had not yet become the famous doctor in Beijing today, and it was a matter of human life, Si Tingyan didn't want to think about it, so he left with that person.
Who knows, the man looked richly dressed, like the mother-in-law of the Gaomen family in the capital, but he led him all the way into a house in the east of the city that was about to be abandoned.
The house was very cold, and it didn't look like it was inhabited in the past, but it looked like it had been cleaned temporarily.
Si Tingyan entered the house, but saw a slender woman lying on the couch.
She was dressed in white, her eyes were closed, her hands were on her face, and she was no longer breathing.
She ...... She ......" Lu Yunxi couldn't help choking up when she heard this, and looked at Si Tingyan's side face, "Is there anything unusual about her?"
Si Tingyan's face was a little tangled, pursed his lower lip, and said: "When I found that the woman's eyes were dark and her lips were purple, I wanted to diagnose it, but I was stopped by the maid, saying that I was young and didn't know much about women's diseases, so I was hastily invited out of the house. ”
As he spoke, Si Tingyan lowered his voice and leaned a little closer to Lu Yunxi's ear, "But I judge that it is poisoning." ”
"Poisoned?"
Although Lu Yunxi had been mentally prepared for a long time, when she heard Si Tingyan say it, she still looked surprised.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she couldn't bear it anymore.
Seeing this, Si Tingyan panicked, raised and lowered his hands, trying to wipe away the tears on her face for her, but his fingers fell on Lu Yunxi's cheeks, and he was taken back like an electric shock.
It's no longer right for them to be alone. If you behave intimately again, you will be spread by the person who has a heart, I am afraid that it will ruin Lu Yunxi's reputation.
Lu Yunxi didn't realize it so much.
She stood up, knelt on the ground with a "plop", and hung her head, "Si Gongzi, now it seems that my mother's death is indeed strange. Please also ask Si Gongzi to help, let me seek justice for my mother......"
Si Tingyan's heart tightened, so he could get up, hold Lu Yunxi, and pull her up, "Miss Lu, don't be like this." I promise you, I'm going to help you in this matter. Don't do that. ”
Lu Yunxi still lowered her head, and tears fell on the back of Si Tingyan's hand drop by drop, and Si Tingyan's heart was also convulsive and uneasy.
The two were relatively speechless, one just bowed his head and wept, and the other stood to the side, helpless.
At this time, I saw Qing'er rushing in from outside the courtyard in a panic, and stepped forward a few steps, "Miss, that person has been found!"
