Chapter 050: Secretly frightened
Qin Su was silent, but Ah Li on the side couldn't help but interject: "Two days ago, why did you fish it out today? It's been two days." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Jinxiu leisurely turned over the clothes in her hand, and looked at Ah Li with a smile: "Your time in the house is too short, and you haven't learned all the rules, so you don't know that sweeping the courtyard has to be in shifts." It wasn't the old woman's turn to sweep the courtyard for a few days, and she was usually very withdrawn, alone, and she was the only one who lived, who would know that she was gone?"
Eccentric...... Loner...... There is only one person in the accommodation......
Qin Su's heart sank slightly.
Somehow, these words were connected together, and it gave her a bad feeling.
She looked at the smug splendor, and before she was about to speak, Ah Li had already preemptively said: "Hmph, I know the rules, of course I know that sweeping the courtyard is in shifts." I'm just wondering, don't they sweep the yard and don't fetch water? So why is it that no one finds out when they soak in the well? What about two days......
Before she finished speaking, Jinxiu had already laughed out loud: "Alas, yo stupid Ah Li, it's winter, it's either rain or snow, do you still need water to sweep the yard?"
Ah Li was asked suddenly, and after a while, his little face turned red, and he couldn't say anything to refute it.
Seeing that she was deflated, Jinxiu became even more proud, and said ostentatiously: "So I said you don't understand." Sweeping the yard on rainy and snowy days, only plastering should be able to use water, and a tank of water is enough for three or four days. ”
The two of them talked for a long time, but they still didn't say what Qin Su wanted to know the most.
She couldn't help but feel a little agitated.
She wanted to ask Jinxiu a question, but she couldn't ask it, and she didn't dare to ask.
Ah Dou is gone, will the person who has been secretly staring at her for eight years put someone else in? If she pays too much attention to this old woman, will it arouse unnecessary suspicion?
In addition, if this old woman is really the person she thinks, then the cause of this old woman's death is very debatable.
It's a good idea.
Qin Su snorted secretly.
That's it, let's ask Qin Yanwan another day. Compared to these subordinates, the master of the Qin family is obviously more credible.
Having made up her mind, she turned over the corner of her skirt to see the plaster on her lap.
At this moment, a timid voice suddenly sounded: "Sister Jinxiu, that ...... That poor mother-in-law, I seem to have seen her, she often goes to the corner gate of the garden to pick up dead leaves, she is also kind, and she is willing to talk to us, her face has a lot of pockmarks, is the person Sister Jinxiu said is her?"
Qin Su's heart jumped suddenly.
She almost couldn't help but want to look up and look at the person who was speaking.
However, in the next breath, a cold color crossed her lowered eyes.
This voice asked exactly what she wanted to know most!
However, this question has nothing to do with the previous conversation!
Inexplicably, this timid voice actually made Qin Su's heart cold, and his hands and feet were cold in an instant.
Could it be that she was discovered?
Ah Dou's murder, has the person behind the scenes been aware of it, so he killed people, cut off the way of the pock-faced woman, didn't give her a chance to follow the vine, and then planted someone to test her and see her reaction?
Qin Su wasn't sure, but he didn't dare to gamble.
So, what is the safest and most reasonable response for her?
Qin Liuniang, who had just returned home from the Grange, how should she react when she heard these words?
In half a moment, the mind is already changing.
Qin Su's hand turning the corner of the skirt barely paused, and made a decision in an instant.
"Ah Li came to show me, is the plaster good?" she said lazily, frowning and observing the plaster, as if she didn't care about the other party's words
How can a dead subordinate compare to his own knee injury?
This is Qin Liuniang's reaction, or rather, this is the reaction that any girl who loves beauty will have.
Ah Li immediately heard the sound, and before coming, he glared at Jinxiu fiercely, and reprimanded: "Don't always say this in front of the girl, it's unlucky." ”
Jinxiu then remembered that the topic she provoked was indeed very taboo, but fortunately it was in Dongli, if it was in Donghuaju, she would already be eating a handboard.
She hurriedly got up from the stove and went to help Ah Li look at the plaster, and did not continue to answer the little maid's question.
Qin Su was talking to Ah Li at this time: "...... You see it's all like this, isn't it?" She was a little impatient, and her tone was complaining: "I've been sitting for a long time, and I want to get up and walk." ”
Ah Li looked at the color of the plaster on her knee seriously, shook her head and said, "Not yet, in another half an hour." The girl endured it a little longer. ”
Qin Su sighed, frowned and raised his head and instructed Jinxiu: "Bring the box that the second sister gave me." "It seems that I want to look through the scriptures that Qin Yanwan and the others helped copy.
Jinxiu entered the house, and was sent out by her with a word, and her heart was full of displeasure. stepped out of the door with a calm face, but saw that the little maid who had just asked was still standing in the room at the moment, looking around with envy in her eyes.
"Why are you still here?" said Jinxiu, her face so heavy that she could wring out water: "Who allowed you to stay in the house?
The little maid jumped up in fright, smiled flatteringly at Jinxiu, and hurriedly withdrew.
Jinxiu had a seizure, felt a little more comfortable, and shook his head and sneered: "One by one, stupid and stupid." With that, he turned around and went to the side room.
The little maid heard Jinxiu's words, rolled her eyes secretly, and went to work herself.
The topic of the old woman who fell into the water in the east fence was no longer mentioned.
At the same time that night, a note reached the hands of someone in the Qin Mansion. The crumpled note didn't have a word on it, only a crooked circle.
The man read the note by the faint candle flame, and burned it on the fire, humming a little song softly in his mouth, and then muttered to himself: "I thought I had suddenly become wiser." Then he chuckled.
The night was as thick as ink, enveloping every corner of the Qin Mansion, and this low laugh also fell into the thick night, and disappeared in a moment......
On the first day of November, Qin Su got up early.
According to the rules of the Qin Mansion, the first and fifteenth days of each month are the days to go to Dehui Hall to ask for peace.
Because of the funeral in October, Mrs. Tai was exempted from the fifteenth greeting. Therefore, today is the first time Qin Su has seen Mrs. Tai after returning home, and she has to be more concerned.
After freshening up, a small mustache lifted the curtain.
The sky outside was still pitch black, and all the lanterns under the porch were lit, and under the lights, there were snowflakes dancing, quietly gliding through the dim halos.
There was no wind today, a little warmer than in the past, Qin Su was still wrapped in several layers of cotton clothes, and Fang led people out of the courtyard gate of the east fence.
