Chapter 045: Investigation
"How dare you lie to me?" Wen Changge, who had always been giggling, suddenly became serious, and said seriously: "I took the remaining wine in the jug early in the morning to Medical Officer Shen for inspection, and there was clearly a sufficient amount of sweat medicine in it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Damn, I actually made the same mistake as Princess Anning, I was in a hurry last night, and I forgot to pour the rest of the wine in the flask.
Seeing that the matter could no longer be hidden, Wan Luo had no choice but to slowly stand up from the couch, and did not dare to raise her eyes to look at him, but lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, it's me who is not good." I'm just trying to borrow your token. Seeing that you refused to give it to me, I made this decision. ”
Wen Changge sighed a little helplessly, and asked again: "You are a girl's house, is there any place where you can't go during the day, but you have to go after the curfew?" ”
Jiang Wanluo couldn't tell the truth, so she had to take out the set used to coax Yu'er again: "That day, I saw that you were so familiar with Aunt Hong in the Drunken Red Mansion, and I wondered if you often went there to fool around, and I wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of you and go to the Drunken Red Mansion to ask clearly." You know, those kinds of places are only open at night..... So I ......."
Halfway through his words, he raised his head and met Changge's suspicious gaze, thinking that it was not right, if it was okay to go to the drunken Red Mansion to coax Yu'er, it was just that Changge and Aunt Hong were so familiar, and they would know what was going on when they asked, and it would be difficult to lie when the time came.
So he immediately waved his hand and said: "However, I went halfway, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that I really shouldn't do this, after all, you and I are not really husband and wife, why should I investigate you..... So, I turned around and came back. If you don't believe it, ask the guards who guarded the door last night, from the time I left the house to the time I came back, it would only take half an hour, if I went to the drunken Red Mansion, it would take an hour to come and go. ”
Wen Changge lowered his eyes, seemed to be thinking about something, and was silent for a long time before he said, "Okay, you have passed this reason." ”
Jiang Wanluo said with little confidence: "What is the reason, this is the truth." ”
Wen Changge was noncommittal, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief, "Presumably Yu'er has already told you that an official slave disappeared in our mansion overnight, and my father and second brother both suspect that he is a detailed work arranged by a different party in the general's mansion, so they have already sent someone to investigate the details of the 8 official slaves and official maids that day." ”
"So, I'm the object of your suspicions?"
"You are nominally my wife, not to mention that I also admitted in front of everyone that I had a marriage contract with you three years ago, so I guess I won't suspect you." Wen Changge said, and said with a straight face: "However, from now on, you must be inseparable from me for twelve hours a day." ”
"You're kidding, right?"
"Do you think I'm joking?"
Jiang Wanluo felt a little aggrieved: "Why? Twelve hours without an inch, is it hard for you to want me to sleep with you? ”
"You can say that if you want." Wen Changge said as he moved his futon from the bed to the small couch beside Jiang Wanluo, "I won't take advantage of you, from today onwards, we will have different beds in the same room." You sleep in the bed, I sleep here, there is no room for negotiation. ”
Jiang Wanluo frowned, unable to tell the difference. At this juncture, if she insists on escaping, it will arouse suspicion, and she has to suffer this dumb loss for the time being.
"Well, I know I'm wrong, I'm just up to you."
"Sister, third young master, the guards have come to pass on the general's words and let you go to the main hall." Ding Yu's voice came from outside the door.
Wan Luo was still wondering, but she saw Changge and said to her with a slightly tight expression: "There is no impermeable wall in the world, if you want to calm things and see my father, don't open your mouth casually." ”
The two walked to the main hall together, and saw Wen Chongxiao and Wen Changchu sitting in the main and secondary positions respectively, except for his father and son, there was no one else.
Seeing Changge and Wanluo coming in, Wen Chongxiao, who was sitting in the main seat, asked bluntly: "Last night, because there was a slave in our house, your second brother asked the guards guarding the door, and I heard the guards say that Wanluo went out of the house late at night with a pass token, is there such a thing?" ”
Wan Luo raised her eyes and looked at Changge, and finally understood the meaning of his words, so she said, "Yes, Dad, I went out." ”
Wen Chongxiao's expression was serious, and he said: "At three o'clock, you are a woman, what are you doing when you go out of the house?" ”
"I, I'll go—" Wan Luo wanted to speak and stopped, but was preempted by Chang Ge, who was standing aside.
"Dad, I gave her the token, as for the reason, can you not ask." Facing Wen Chongxiao, who was not angry and arrogant, Changge changed to a cheerful tone.
Chang Chu glanced at Chang Ge, and said, "Third brother, when has this been, why are you still so out of tune?" What the hell is going on, don't say it quickly. ”
Wen Chongxiao listened and nodded heavily, obviously suppressing the anger.
"Okay, I say, but don't be angry, Dad." Changge paused, scratched his nose and said: "A few days ago, when Wanluo was doing Xiaoyuezi, I really couldn't help it, I went again, went to the Drunken Red Mansion once, and accidentally left a purse embroidered by Wanluo for me there. ”
Wen Chongxiao frowned, closed his eyes, and looked powerless to be angry with him, so he only said, "What does this have to do with the incident of leaving the house last night?" ”
Changge continued: "Last night was the first day that Wanluo moved back to the room, the child was happy and drank more wine, so he accidentally said that he leaked his mouth, and Wanluo learned the truth, and when he was angry, he asked me for a token, saying that he was going to the drunken Red House to get the purse back, and that's it....."
Seeing that Changge was right, Wan Luo nodded her head in response, "Yes, that's it." But I went halfway and felt that I was too righteous, after all, I was also a young grandmother in the General's Mansion, and I lost my identity too much to go to Fengyue Field, so I turned around and came back. ”
Wen Chongxiao and Wen Changchu exchanged glances, only to hear Changchu say: "The official slave who ran away from the mansion entered the mansion on the same day as you, I wonder if the two of you have known each other before?" ”
Wan Luo was slightly stunned, and said: "Second brother said that it was funny, we officials and slaves were all sent to the capital from all over the country, and besides, the male slaves and female maids in the Metropolitan Procuratorate were separated and detained, and we had never even met before, so how could we talk about acquaintance?" ”
Wen Changchu smiled unnaturally: "Brother and sister, don't get me wrong, you also know that there have been a series of accidents in the mansion recently, and our general's mansion is different from other places after all, so naturally we should be more careful." I heard that Caiqin's maid was very close to this official slave, and we also came to ask questions. ”
Wan Luo nodded, not knowing Chang Chu's intentions, but he always felt that he had something to say, so he had to smile at this time: "What the second brother said is that it's always good to be careful." ”
