"Where are the fourth sisters going?"

Ning Xi was originally sitting on the verandah teasing the koi in the pool, but she saw Ning Qiao walking quickly, looking at the direction she was going, was it Ermen?

Ning Qiao seemed to be taken aback by Ning Xi, stopped and saw that it was Ning Xi, and showed a smile: "Hello third sister." ”

Ning Xi nodded, raised her eyebrows, and said, "Fourth sister is going to the front yard?" ”

Hearing this, Ning Qiao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, it's the fifth sister's earrings that fell at the second gate, I'll help her find them." ”

"Then go quickly, don't delay the hour."

After Ning Qiao left, Ning Xi frowned and said to Erui: "Go and check, if there are guests in the mansion today." ”

It's just that Ning Xi returned to the courtyard, and before he could return to Erui, he waited for Yang Xuyun first.

Yang Suyun didn't come empty-handed, and brought a bowl of bird's nest porridge over, Ning Xi was a little surprised, if it was just to send food, just let the maid send it over, why bother to run it yourself.

Yang Suyun showed a gentle smile: "These days, your eldest brother is very busy with business, so I cooked some bird's nest porridge for him, and by the way, I also made some for you and the second sister, just now the second sister has used it with me, but I can't come with me for some time." ”

Ning Xi Xie picked up and drank it slowly, although it was just a bird's nest porridge, but after all, it was cooked by Yang Suyun himself, even if Ning Xi was not hungry now, he didn't want to waste Yang Suyun's mind, and sure enough, a slight smile appeared in Yang Suyun's eyes when he saw this.

After Ning Xi finished drinking, he gently wiped the corners of his mouth before asking, "Has the eldest brother been busy lately, isn't he in the Taifu Temple?" ”

She remembered that Taifu Temple hadn't been busy lately, right?

Yang Suyun smiled softly: "Your eldest brother has recently been transferred to the Criminal Department. ”

Ning Xi blushed, she was really not a competent sister.

Yang Suyun didn't mind Ning Xi's carelessness, but remembered what happened in Beijing recently, and put away her smile: "I came here this time, I really have something to tell you." ”

Ning Xi saw that Yang Suyun's expression became stern, and he didn't dare to slack off, sat up straight, and listened carefully to Yang Suyun's words.

"Recently, there have been several murders in Beijing, your eldest brother is in charge of this matter, I heard your eldest brother say that the people who have happened are all women who have not left the cabinet, these days for the sake of safety, you and a few sisters will not go out first."

Ning Xi's heart chuckled, she was cultivating in Zhuangzi outside Beijing at this time in her last life, so she didn't know about the affairs in Beijing, but she didn't expect this kind of thing to happen.

Looking at Yang Suyun's vague appearance, Ning Xi could probably guess that the death of those women was probably not very good, and Ning Xi did it again, naturally cherishing his life even more, and nodded hurriedly.

Seeing that Ning Xi was not perfunctory, Yang Suyun relieved her heart and was about to leave, but she heard Ning Xi ask.

"Are there any guests in the house today?"

There was a little doubt in Yang Suyun's eyes, although she wondered why Ning Xi asked about this, she still answered truthfully: "It's Zhongyi Hou who is here, and he is the main person in charge of this case." ”

Ning Xi didn't expect that the person who came was Shu Heng, and he lost his mind for a moment when he heard the words: "Oh, I just asked casually." ”

Yang Suyun lowered her eyes and covered the doubts in her eyes.

Not long after Yang Suyun left, Erui came back, but Ning Xi waved her hand, telling her that she didn't need to say anything, she didn't want to hear about that person at all.

But the heavens were unsatisfactory, when Ning Xi was dragged to a corner of the British Mansion by a dog biting the skirt, Ning Xi's whole person was dark, and she had silently steamed and cooked a certain dog a hundred times in her heart.

Who can tell her why the puppy that could only spin around her ankle back then is now longer than her arm, and she sadly discovers that she can't compare to the strength of this dog.

Yes, this dog is Xiaoxi, Ning Xi recognized it when she appeared, don't ask her why she recognized it, probably this is a woman's intuition.

When the brook dragged her out, she guessed who she might meet, so she didn't dare to let the maid follow.

Not surprisingly, Ning Xi was dragged by Xiaoxi to its owner, and when he saw his master, Xiaoxi finally let go of Ning Xi and rushed towards Shu Heng, but Shu Heng pressed its head with disgust on his face.

"Xiaoxi, how many times have I told you, don't pounce on people at every turn, you are a girl, you have to be reserved."

Ning Xi felt that her green tendons were about to burst, Nima, why was she still so upset even though she knew that he was talking about dogs!

In the end, Ning Xi turned all his depression into a deep resentment against the name Xiaoxi, and glared at Xiaoxi fiercely.

As if sensing Ning Xi's anger, Xiaoxi dodged behind Shu Heng.

Ning Xi laughed angrily: "You dog is really smart." ”

Shu Heng didn't seem to hear Ning Xi's sarcasm, but followed Ning Xi's words: "Xiaoxi is indeed very smart, it can understand everything I say." As he spoke, he patted Xiaoxi's head, and Xiaoxi was encouraged by his master, and shook his tail at Ning Xi and called twice.

Ning Xi rubbed her forehead, what happened to her today, how could she still be honest with a dog.

"What are you looking for from me?"

"I'll tell you, don't leave the house lately."

Ning Xi tilted his head, Shu Heng brought himself here just to say this? What is the reason for not letting you leave the house? Don't mention it? If she hadn't learned about the recent events in Beijing from her sister-in-law, she would definitely think that Shu Heng was sick.

"What happened recently in Beijing, my sister-in-law has already told me, if you just say this, then you can go, I spare my life very much, and I won't go out to die." Ning Xi was still angry in his heart, and he spoke very quickly.

Seeing Ning Xi's angry appearance, Shu Heng suddenly smiled: "The county lord of Pingle, who has always been gentle and polite to others, how can he be so easily angry when he sees me?" ”

Ning Xi sneered: "It shows that I hate you to the extreme." ”

Shu Heng raised his eyebrows, he didn't think so.

Thinking that he was now in the British Mansion, it was not good to stay longer, so he quickly cut to the point: "In the past few nights, you have left one more maid to keep vigil, pay more attention to the movement outside the house, hear strange noises, block the doors and windows, and do not open the door to check." ”

Originally, Ning Xi was not very afraid, after all, the guards of the British Mansion were still very tight, but hearing Shu Heng say this, Ning Xi felt a little furious in her heart, no matter what, Ning Xi still recognized Shu Heng's ability, since he warned himself like this, it means that this matter is much stricter than she imagined.

Seeing that Ning Xi seemed to be frightened by himself, Shu Heng sighed lightly, so he didn't plan to talk about it at the beginning, he didn't participate in this case in the previous life, and in the end he heard that he didn't catch the criminal, so in this life, he asked Ying to be in charge of this case, thinking of the death of those women, a trace of coldness flashed in Shu Heng's eyes.

"Don't be afraid, I'll crack this case soon."

Ning Xi pinched the corner of her clothes, so that she wouldn't admit that she was scared just now!

"Keep this."

When Ning Xi came back to his senses, he already had a dagger in his hand, and Ning Xi blinked vigorously to confirm once again that this was really a genuine dagger.

Ning Xi was a little dazed and looked at Shu Heng: "This is a gift you gave me?" ”

Ning Xi wanted to cry a little without tears, when she first married Shu Heng in her last life, the gifts Shu Heng gave her were at least jewelry, silk and other things used by women, and she had never received such a strange gift as a dagger.

Shu Heng frowned: "What gift?" This is for you just in case. ”

Ning Xi's ears were a little red, what was she thinking, she actually thought that Shu Heng would give her a gift, it was all because Shu Heng said those strange things last time, she would think wildly, thinking about this, Ning Xi was very unhappy, looked at the dagger in his hand and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, if I meet that prisoner, I will kill myself with this dagger before being killed by him." ”

As soon as Ning Xi's words fell, he saw Shu Heng's face slowly turn blue, and Ning Xi's heart suddenly became comfortable.

"Remember that you are not allowed to go out until you catch the real murderer!" Before leaving, Shu Heng said uneasily.

Ning Xi nodded with some disgust, Shu Heng has said this twice, why didn't he find Shu Heng so verbose before.

I have to say that Shu Heng's words are still very useful, at least for Ning Xi, that night, she didn't dare to fall asleep at all, her mind was full of echoes of what Shu Heng said, holding the dagger given by Shu Heng tightly in her hand, Dongfang saw the white, and then fell asleep groggily, but was soon woken up by the maid.

Looking at the face in the mirror, with a pale face and two dark circles under her eyes, Ning Xi felt that Shu Heng's goods were her evil star, and it would be good to meet him.

When the news of the murderer's arrest came on the fourth day, Ning Xi almost didn't eat the dagger sent by Shu Heng raw, what about the poor and vicious murderer who said it was good, it was very dangerous to say that it was good, why was he arrested so quickly, Ning Xi even thought darkly, Shu Heng was deliberately scaring her. But Ning Xi didn't have time to find Shu Heng's stubble, because she was in a hurry to catch up on sleep.

However, after the murderer was caught, the atmosphere in the house finally warmed up, and the maids were no longer afraid. Xu's head of the house was also a lot more relaxed, thinking that it was about to be winter, so he decided to go to Anguo's Mansion to see Ning Yan, Ning Xi thought that he hadn't seen Ning Wei for a long time, so he begged Xu's, Xu thought that the girls in the house had been depressed in the past few days, so he agreed to take her and Ning Miao together, of course, this time he couldn't just take the two of them, so he said to Xiao Qin's family, planning to take Ning Yan and Ning Qiao with them.

Ning Yan was 10,000 reluctant to go, but how could Xiao Qin's family let go of this opportunity to let his daughter show her face, naturally regardless of Ning Yan's opposition, he agreed immediately.

Before going out, Ning Xi took a look at the dagger that had been abandoned by himself since the murderer was arrested, and somehow, he put it into his sleeve by magic.
