Zhou's mother suddenly came to visit, and brought an explosive news, Lu Li was shocked, and she didn't even have time to change her clothes, so she followed her out of the garden.

Da Bai was running crazy in the garden, and when he saw his master leaving in a hurry, his expression was not right, so he shook his head and rushed over to follow.

Lu Li has always been soft-hearted, has no sense of respect and inferiority, and is especially sympathetic to the weak, Zhao Shu has long known it. He likes Lu Li's innocent heart to treat people, and he is unwilling to force him to change, anyway, there is a danger in the world, and he will block it for him.

So Lu Li went out, worried about whether there was a trap in Huaifu or if someone deliberately made Zhao Shu bad, and he also followed.

Shen Wansha has been waiting for the progress of the case in the main hall for the past two days, when Zhou's mother came, it happened that his favorite dim sum was baked, he ran to the kitchen to see it for himself, and when Lu Li came back with the dim sum, Lu Li had already left, and even the puppy was gone!

His eyes almost fell out of shock.

Helian Yu patted him on the shoulder, "Go change clothes, I know where they went." ”

Under normal circumstances, Lu Li would not leave without saying a word to him, and Helian Yu's expression was rarely so strict, without a little smile...... Shen Wansha put down the snacks, didn't ask, and quickly ran in the direction of the room while picking off the oil-stained coat on his body.

Fortunately, Helian Yu made a light effort, Shen Wansha's evening was not a matter for a while, Helian Yu took him quickly through the streets, and when he came to Huaifu, it happened that Huai Shuyu, the eldest son of the Huai family, was welcoming Lu Li at the second gate, and the time was just right.

Lu Li only nodded with Shen Wansha, and asked Huai Shuyu repeatedly, "When did Miss Six disappear?" How's Mrs. Huai? ”

"My mother just woke up, and her spirit is a little bad, as for the matter of the sixth sister,......" Huai Shuyu smiled bitterly, "Sir, please follow me to the main hall, I will carefully talk to Mr." ”

At this moment, the sun is hot in July, the ground is hot, the cicadas are undulating, the noise is very, and people's feelings are impetuous. The corners of Huai Shuyu's lips were dry, his eyes were bloodshot, and his expression looked very nervous.

Lu Li patted him on the shoulder as a sign of comfort.

Huai Shuyu was a little surprised, he and Lu Li had only met once, and they were not acquainted...... Now that his father is busy with official business and can't come back, and his mother has fainted again, as the eldest son in the family, he should pick things up, but his two younger sisters have had accidents, and he is actually a little panicked, worried that he will not be able to do well...... Lu Li's move was very warm to him.

Everyone is about the same age, Lu Li's parents are dead, and he has grown into a calm and stable person with a certain status in the field of work alone; He grew up under the care of his parents, he received court training at a young age, read and read etiquette, and his parents have kissed him, and he has reached the age of responsibility......

He glanced at Lu Li deeply, clenched his fists tightly, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were clear, and his left hand stretched forward to lead the way, "Sir, please-"

Lu Li nodded and followed him into the second gate of the Huai family.

The reason why I entered the second gate was mainly because Mrs. Huai's residence was in the second gate, and Lu Li was here to definitely meet her.

Huai Shuyu first led Lu Li and others to the main hall, and let the subordinates serve tea, before saying, "My father is the envoy of Changping, and some officialdom has contacts and contacts, the fifth sister has an accident, the government investigates in detail, the clues are rich little by little, and the murderer finger is just around the corner, how much Mr. has done here, our whole family knows." It's just that my father suddenly had a tricky thing in office, and I couldn't rush back immediately, and my mother couldn't bear it for a while and fainted, so I ......"

Huai Shuyu suddenly stood up and saluted Lu Li, "I thank Mr. for his kindness on behalf of my family!" ”

Lu Li hurriedly helped him up, "I am a man, and I have the responsibility of helping the government solve the case, everything is voluntary, you don't have to do it." Besides, he also has a purpose in this matter......

"I know you've visited my mother before, but I don't know why she is prejudiced against you. Zhou's mother said that your mother and my mother know each other, and I don't want to ask about the matter between the elders, but I am very grateful for your help regardless of your previous suspicions. Huai Shuyu's eyebrows drooped slightly, and he sighed softly, "When the sixth sister had an accident this time, I asked Zhou's mother to come to the house to ask you for help, and please don't mind." ”

Huaiyu had an accident that day, Lu Li went to Huaifu, and saw Huai Shuyu's impulse to be forced by Shi's family, and quarreled with her regardless of his identity, Lu Li thought he was impulsive, but he didn't expect him to have a bright heart, speak and act upright and gentle, and couldn't help but appreciate it, "You don't need to mind, I'm here, I really want to help." ”

Hearing this, Huai Shuyu breathed a sigh of relief. According to the news from the government in the past few days, he knows that Lu Li is very capable, especially in solving cases. He was worried that Lu Li hated his mother because of the past and refused to help, and there was already a Huaiyu missing from the family, plus a Huaixin, which was really unbearable...... So Lu Li really helped, and he was very happy.

A lot of time has passed since this come and go, although Huai Shuyu thinks that this is necessary, he is still a little anxious, Lu Li said that he was willing to help, no one asked, he immediately talked about Huaixin.

"Huaixin and Huaiyu have not been compatible since they were children, and there will always be some quarrels. The girl's family is a little petty, the boudoir has nothing to do, and the competition for jewelry and clothing is all a trick, and everyone is it, so it's not surprising. Huai Yu is even stronger, although Huai Xin is young, she knows how to measure, and the two of them rarely make too much trouble, but the relationship has always been bad. ”

Huai Shuyu's voice was a little low, "Huai Xin has never expressed her liking for Huai Yu, and when she saw her quarreling with others, she clapped her hands and watched excitedly, but this time Huai Yu had an accident, and Huai Xin became very depressed." There is no smile on his face, and he often asks me if there is good news about Huaiyu's case, and I am worried all day long. ”

Shen Wansha muttered in a low voice, "I'm worried......"

"What is Young Master Shen suspicious of?" Huai Shuyu smiled helplessly, "I dare to guarantee that Huaixin will not want to harm Huaiyu." Over the years, their sisters have been nervous, and they have been making trouble, but it can be said that they want to harm people, but they really don't have it. My two younger sisters, although they are a little petty, are very kind by nature. ”

Shen Wansha smiled and didn't speak. As a family member, he must feel that his sisters and sisters are pure and good people, but sometimes human nature just can't stand the test, and he heard his mother tell a lot of strange things about his sisters killing each other when he went to Beijing.

However, conjectures are all conjectures, and every qiē must speak with evidence and facts.

"How did Huaixin get into trouble?" Lu Li is most concerned about this.

"The government has not solved the case, Huaiyu's life and death are uncertain, Huaixin is getting more and more anxious, and recently I always want to go out to see, but my mother has not agreed. Last night, when Huaixin was serving her mother to bed, she suddenly talked back to her mother, and her mother angrily dropped the teacup. ”

Huai Shuyu sighed lightly, "Huaixin has a tough temperament since she was a child, and occasionally contradicts her mother, and her mother indulges her, and others are not easy to manage, so this matter is not surprising." Surprisingly, early this morning, Huai Xin didn't know how to dress up the plan, so she sneaked out of the house quietly. She only brought a personal maid, and left a note on the table, saying that she would return before noon, so that the people would not be allowed to make noise, and if she spoiled her business, she would be severely punished. ”

"Huai Xin's rewards and punishments for his subordinates are clear, and he is very popular. The people in her yard were extremely loyal to her, and when they saw the note, they didn't dare to move, and someone asked, only saying that the young lady didn't sleep well yesterday, and she was a little thirsty and sleepy, so she would get up later. Today, my mother is very busy, and lunch is also used in a hurry in the conference room, so I don't have time to ask Huaixin. Until two quarters of an hour ago, Huaixin's personal maid came back alone, saying that Huaixin had been kidnapped! ”

Huai Shuyu half-clenched his fists, and his voice was slightly cold, "That maid had a large swelling on the back of her head, and she was bleeding nonstop, saying that the two of them were fainted by an unknown ambush, and she was the only one when she woke up, and Huaixin was gone." ”

Lu Li's eyes were slightly dark, "Where is the maid now?" ”

"It's in the house." Huai Shuyu gritted her teeth, "She was seriously injured, and it was already very reluctant to insist on walking back, and she fainted again after speaking, and she hasn't woken up yet." ”

"She didn't see the ambushed man?"

"Nope."

"Huai Xin can find something unusual, tell her to listen?"

"I also asked this question, and the maid said no."

"Where are they ambushed, but in the middle of nowhere?"

"It's on the corner of South Street, and it's not remote. But it was noon, and there weren't many people there. ”

Lu Li lowered his head slightly, his expression solemn, "So, there was no warning at all, someone attacked him?" ”

Huai Shuyu groaned, "It should be so." ”

"You said before that Huai Xin always wanted to go out and contribute to Huai Yu's case," Lu Li looked at Huai Shuyu quietly, "She will do this, but she noticed something unusual and had a direction?" ”

Huai Shuyu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously retorted, "This ...... How can it be? She is locked up in the inner house all day, and she can only listen to the news about things outside, how can she be aware of it...... Besides, she won't solve the case! ”

"You still have to send someone to Huaixin Courtyard to inquire about this matter." Lu Li reminded, "Hurry up, there is not much time." ”

Huai Shuyu's head was sweating, and he remembered the news from the government, "The murderer is really ...... Can you kill people, right? If you've been missing for too long, will you ......?"

Lu Li couldn't bear to affirm this, and only said, "In short, time is the most critical right now." ”

Huai Shuyu stood up, beckoned the big girl in his yard over, and asked her to go to Huaixin's courtyard to question.

Lu Li thought of another question, "Huaixin talked back to Mrs. Huai last night, was it because of today's departure?" "If so, does Lady Huai know anything?

"I don't know...... I've always been hard to inquire about things in my mother's room," Huai Shuyu got up, "I'll take you to see your mother." ”

Lu Li was a little hesitant, Mrs. Huai didn't like him very much, could she talk well when they met?

Seeing that he hesitated, Huai Shuyu simply pulled him up and walked directly to Lan Xin's upper room.

Zhao Shu was a little dissatisfied, but now was a special time, and he reminded himself not to get excited.

Huaifu is very quiet, the rules are steady and orderly, except for the occasional person walking faster, nothing special, it doesn't look dangerous.

When the government was investigating Huaiyu's disappearance, Huaideshui was using that batch of Taicang silver to deal with competitors, and the officialdom was digging pits and pitting people, and he couldn't be sloppy at all, so Huaideshui was always not at home, and Zhao Shu understood it very well.

But he didn't expect that Mrs. Huai, who looked so skillful, would faint. However, the two concubines, let alone losing them, even if they die, it is just that it takes some effort to deal with the issue of the boudoir reputation, and a clan woman like Mrs. Huai should not care too much.

Shen Wansha also felt strange, and whispered to Helian Yu to bite her ears, "Mrs. Huai is so powerful, I thought that even if the sky fell, she would be able to hold her waist and scold people there......"

Walking to Mrs. Huai's room, Huai Shuyu first asked her subordinates to come up, and then took Lu Li and the four of them in.

When Lu Li and the four of them entered Huai's mansion, Zhou's mother confessed and left, and returned to Mrs. Huai. Probably guessing that they would come, she waited for Mrs. Huai to sit on the couch in the side hall, and was waiting for them at the moment.

Mrs. Huai's eyebrows were slightly raised, her eyes were dark, her lips were pale, and she couldn't hide the tiredness on her face with fat powder.

Seeing Lu Li's four people coming in, she pointed to Lu Li and asked sharply, "Who asked him to come!" ”

Huai Shuyu immediately knelt down, "Mother, don't be angry, it was the child who invited Mr. Lu over." ”

Lu Li stood aside and did not speak. Mother Zhou is next to Mrs. Huai, will Mrs. Huai not know that she is coming? I'm afraid I want to take advantage of the opportunity to have a seizure.

Zhao Shu stood beside him silently, his posture was like a mountain, and his eyes were wide.

Mrs. Huai saw Lu Li standing with his hands tied down, waiting obediently to the side, with no joy or sorrow on his face, as if it didn't matter to him, and there was a martial artist standing beside him, with a face of 'don't offend me, if you provoke me, I will kill your whole family', she almost fainted again.

Shen Wansha quietly tugged at the corner of Helian Yu's coat and retreated behind him, for fear that others would see his smiling face.

He knew that the little oak would not suffer!

Her son was always distressed, Mrs. Huai looked at Huai Shuyu, and finally said helplessly, "You get up." "It sounded like a few years older.

Huai Shuyu brought a bowl of tea to Mrs. Huai, "The sixth sister disappeared suddenly, and the maid who returned home to report the news also fainted, and there was no clue...... Mr. Lu wanted to ask what the sixth sister said to her mother last night, and see if she could find some useful information. ”

Mrs. Huai put down the teacup and looked indifferent, "What does he want to ask, can't he ask me directly?" ”

Lu Li arched his hand, with a warm smile on his face, "If Madame wants to say it, I'll listen, and if Madame doesn't want to say it, it's okay, Huaixin is your concubine, and it has nothing to do with me." ”

"You-" Mrs. Huai glared at Lu Li, and the bright smiling face in front of her was like the winter sun, heartwarming and familiar. She was stunned, as if she had returned to her girlhood, when the person's smile was the same as this......

It's always so warm, so free, so dazzling.

The corners of Mrs. Huai's eyes were slightly red, and two tears fell suddenly, "Retribution...... Retribution! ”

She wiped the tears on her face indiscriminately, turned her head sideways and held Zhou's mother's hand tightly, as if it took a lot of strength to keep her body from trembling.

Lu Li's heart jumped, retribution? What retribution? Mrs. Huai's gaze just now seemed to be looking at him, but if you think about it, she was looking at someone else through him...... Who is she looking at? Is his mother-in-law Miao Hongxiao smiling?

Retribution...... Could it really be as he guessed that Mrs. Huai and his mother were not close friends, but had enmity?

He subconsciously glanced at Zhao Zhu.

Zhao Shu shook his hand.

Zhao Shu's palms were very hot, and a thin layer of sweat appeared in Lu Li's palms. He couldn't tell the feeling in his heart, and he didn't know if it was the excitement of catching a glimpse of a secret, or the worry.

Although Huai Shuyu was worried about her sister-in-law, she was more worried about her mother, seeing Mrs. Huai like this, her frightened face turned white, "Mother's ......"

"I'm fine." Mrs. Huai sighed heavily, took a sip of ginseng tea from Zhou's mother's hand, and looked at Huai Shuyu, "Mother is fine, Yu'er don't worry." ”

"But......" Huai Shuyu turned and walked out, "I'll call you a doctor." ”

"Come back!" Mrs. Huai's eyes closed slightly, leaning on Mother Zhou, "Didn't the doctor come before?" I also prescribed medicine, and my mother continued to take it, and it would be fine. ”

Huai Shuyu was stunned, but he didn't move anymore.

Mrs. Huai's current appearance is extremely fragile. Although his hair is meticulously combed, his face is graceful and magnificent, and he wears a very luxurious dress, the tough, rude, and aggressive nasty looks of the past are gone. She is like a warrior with countless injuries, armed with a hard shell on her back, forcing herself to be strong, but in fact, under the hard shell, she is covered in bruises.

Lu Li used to hate her very much, but now looking at her appearance, he was suddenly relieved. The stronger the person, the less he likes others to see his vulnerability, for Mrs. Huai, being seen like this by them may hit her bigger than anything.

Shen Wansha also wrinkled his nose, he didn't like this very much. He would rather Mrs. Huai be violent and domineering, so that they can make Ji slap her face, Mrs. Huai is suddenly so fragile, they are all manly, how can they be embarrassed to attack a weak woman?

He flattened his mouth and pinched Helian Yu's hand.

"Xin'er told me last night that she wanted to go out, but I didn't agree. Yu'er has been missing for so long, you and I both know, I'm afraid it's a little bit of life. quarreled at other family banquets, and both sisters were at fault, but Yu'er was more wrong. Yu'er was arrogant, careless, and eventually caused a tragedy, which everyone regretted, but it was not Xin'er's fault, and she didn't need to feel guilty. ”

Mrs. Huai's eyes were slightly closed, her head was tilted sideways, she didn't look at anyone, and her voice was very slow, "I lost my temper, thinking that Xin'er would be obedient, but I didn't expect that she would still find a way to go out without permission...... She only said that she wanted to help find Yu'er, and the words, expressions, and demeanor were not much different from usual, and I didn't see any conjectures from her. ”

"Xin'er has always been smart, the more she grows up, the more intelligent her mind becomes, if I don't pay attention, I can't see what is hidden in her heart. I was so angry last night that I didn't think much about it, so I ...... I don't know what you're asking. ”

Mrs. Huai said so many words in a row, and her breath was a little unstable. She helped Zhou's mother to stand up slowly, "Huaixin is my daughter-in-law, and I hope she is safe." If you want to help in this matter, it doesn't matter if you don't want to, Yu'er, be hospitable. ”

She said as she walked through the small door, looking like she was going back to her room to rest. Huai Shuyu bowed to see him off, "The child will be hospitable, please rest assured, and rest well." ”

The hall was quiet for a while.

After a long time, Shen Wansha couldn't hold his breath and asked, "Mrs. Huai said...... Retribution? What does that mean? ”

Huai Shuyu shook his head, he didn't understand either.

Mrs. Huai's 'retribution' was directed at him. Lu Li felt lightly, and sighed lightly, "Huaixin disappeared, Mrs. Huai was deeply shocked, and it was normal to sigh for a while, this probably has nothing to do with the disappearance case, let's still move our attention to the case." ”

Huai Shuyu nodded, "Since my mother didn't find anything unusual here, let's go to Huaixin's courtyard to have a look, I don't know if my maid can ask anything-"

A few people were talking, and suddenly there was a knock on the door, and a man walked in.

It was Aunt Shi who came, wearing a light blue dress, combing a lazy bun, wearing a pearl head, her eyes were watery, her lips were covered with red makeup, her body was slender and her hands were soft, and her temperament was very pitiful.

Seeing so many people in the hall, he seemed to be startled, and raised the food box in his hand, "I heard that Mrs. is sick, and the concubine brought snacks over, and I will honor Mrs. ......"

Huai Shuyu frowned when she saw her, "The fifth sister is your own daughter, she has been missing for a few days and has not returned, and the sixth sister also had an accident today, is it not appropriate for you to dress like this?" ”

Aunt Shi touched the pearl on her head, her eyebrows and eyes drooped slightly, and the carefully outlined eye makeup became more and more bright, "The flesh that fell from the concubine's body, the concubine is distressed, but no matter how the concubine is, it is not as important as the main mother." Madame is like this, the lord doesn't know how distressed he will be, the concubine is in a deep house, and she can't help with things outside, so she can still do it to help take care of her ......"

It turned out that he was thinking that Huaide Water would come back.

At this time, I was still thinking about competing for favor, and there was no one else to do this little concubine! Shen Wansha pursed his lips disdainfully.

"Mother has fallen asleep, aunt should go back."

How could Aunt Shi leave so easily, "The subordinates are rough, in the end they are not more careful than their own family, the eldest young master can rest assured, the concubine must be taken care of——"

She screamed suddenly, looking wolfish as she dodged the little white thing that lunged at her.

"Dabai, stop!"

"Big White!"

It turned out that the puppy Da Bai who followed Lu Li didn't know where to jump out, and pounced when he saw Aunt Shi. It still didn't listen to its master, ran after Aunt Shi, and finally threw her down while she was unprepared, screaming excitedly.

Aunt Shi's hair was spread out and her face was draped, her eye makeup and lip makeup were all rubbed, she was trembling while crying, and her appearance was very wolf, "Hurry up and get it away!" Don't forget to scream and order Lu Li.

Lu Li went to pull Dabai, but he didn't pull it away.

Shen Wansha is very novel, because this little thing has always listened to Lu Li's words the most, and others ignore it, and now it is like this...... What is the meaning?

His big eyes flickered, and he suddenly remembered the recent past, and clapped his hands violently, "Da Bai is a divine dog, he will find the murderer!" It pounced on Aunt Shi and didn't let go, is Aunt Shi a murderer! ”
