Huang Zhuang's wife looked like she was only in her early thirties, but after chatting for a while, she realized that she was over forty, the same age as Huang Zhuang, and older than Zhou. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

From Mrs. Huang's mouth, Shen Qiao learned that the couple didn't actually live in Sijie Villa all the time, but they would come to live in their home Yunzhou Mansion every day from March to May.

From March to May, it rains every year in the southwest, and for two months in a row, there are very few sunny weather, so they often let some people who are in a hurry come to take shelter from the rain.

And at this time of year, the other three brothers of the owner of Huang Zhuang will also come to have a small gathering, sometimes three or five days, sometimes half a month.

Mrs. Huang said that these four brothers come here every year for brotherhood, because everyone is on their own side, but Shen Qiao feels that this is not the case, just after seeing the four of them getting along, she didn't feel that their idea was purely for feelings, there must be other reasons.

It's just that this is someone else's business, and it has nothing to do with her, so she didn't ask anything.

After chatting with Mrs. Huang for a while, he followed Zhou to the guest room to rest under the leadership of the maid.

This night, Shen Qiao didn't sleep so steadily, not only this night, but after leaving Canglan County, she didn't have a good rest.

When she stayed up until the second half of the night, she faintly heard the sound of Ah Wang and Uncle Li sending Gu Xuan back to the room.

At dawn the next day, she got up.

You don't have to open the window to see that the rain is still falling.

After getting dressed listlessly, he went out to find Zhou, and after the mother and daughter washed together, they let the maid take them to the front hall.

In the front hall, Mrs. Huang was already sitting there.

"Sister Zhou, Miss Shen, are you up? Come on, eat something, Gu Gongzi and the master are afraid that they drank a little too much last night, so let's eat in the morning. ”

Madame Huang smiled, and then told the maid to bring breakfast.

As soon as he finished eating, a little servant rushed over and said, "Madam, it's not good, something happened!" ”

Mrs. Huang frowned and said, "There are no rules, haven't you seen any guests here?" What's the big thing that makes you so flustered? ”

I wanted to reprimand the little guy for a few words, but I thought that this little guy was guarding this villa all the year round and doing things steadily, so I was afraid that there was really something urgent, so I didn't say much about him.

The little guy's eyebrows and eyes were furrowed, and he knelt down and said, "Back to Mrs., just now the mother-in-law in the kitchen found Qiu Sanye's body on the lotus pond. ”

"What!"

Madame Huang stood up suddenly.

Walking up to the little guy, he asked sharply, "Whose corpse did you say?" ”

The little servant lowered his head, didn't dare to look at Mrs. Huang, and said, "Madam, it's the corpse of Third Master Qiu." Just at the edge of the lotus pond, the mother-in-law probed her breath and was already out of breath! ”

Mrs. Huang looked frightened, took two steps back, covered her chest with one hand and her mouth with the other, and was speechless.

Zhou didn't know what to do, so he had to step forward to support Mrs. Huang.

"Madame Huang."

Shen Qiao stepped forward and saw that Mrs. Huang was completely out of state, so he shouted.

After all, the hostess is Mrs. Huang, and a lot of questions and instructions are what Mrs. Huang should do, and she is not good at what to do in other people's houses.

"Then, did you tell the master? What did the lord say? ”

Mrs. Huang was called by Shen Qiao, recovered a little, and asked.

"Back to Madame, the servant has already been to the master, but the master is drunk and can't wake up, so he has to come and tell Madame."

The little guy replied.

"Then you go and call again, be sure to wake up the master, as well as Li Ye and Liu Siye." Mrs. Huang calmed down, finished instructing the little servant, and then said to Shen Qiao's mother and daughter, "Sister Zhou, Miss Shen, you and Gu Gongzi are familiar with them, please wake them up too." I'll go to the lotus pond and have a look. ”

Shen Qiao thought for a while and said, "Mrs. Huang, I'll accompany you over, my mother will call Uncle Li and them." ”

Madame Huang hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Zhou went to the guest room with a worried face.

The lotus pond is in the garden of Sijie Villa, Sijie Villa is very large, Shen Qiao had already found it when he came in yesterday, but the rain was heavy, so he didn't observe it carefully.

It takes about half an hour to walk from the main hall to the lotus pond, and this is because things are in a hurry.

Mrs. Huang and Shen Qiao each had an umbrella beside them, and when they arrived at the lotus pond, there were already seven or eight people surrounding them, but none of them stepped forward.

"What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you go and bring Qiu Sanye up! ”

When Mrs. Huang arrived, she couldn't help but feel angry when she saw this scene.

"Madam, slave ......"

A little maid looked scared and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Mrs. Huang.

"What? Do you want me to go with Miss Shen in person? ”

Madame Huang said sharply.

"Madam, the little maids are scared, and they have little strength, Qiu Sanye looks very big, it's better to wait until the little guy comes over, and let the little guy with more strength go over and move it."

Shen Qiao saw the little girl's embarrassment and relieved the siege in time.

Mrs. Huang looked at Shen Qiao, her face softened, and said, "What Miss Shen said is just ......"

"Third brother!"

At this time, an exclamation interrupted Mrs. Huang's words.

Then I saw a figure rushing into the rain and running in front of Qiu Sanye's corpse.

The person who came was Liu Si, although he was fat, but his skills were extraordinary, seeing that he was in a hurry, he thought that he came to run over as soon as he heard about it.

"Second sister-in-law, why don't you let someone carry the third brother in with me!"

After checking Qiu Sanye's body, Liu Sicai turned to Mrs. Huang and said.

Madame Huang pursed her lips, then looked at Shen Qiao.

"That's it, Mrs. Huang, I'll bring my two mothers-in-law over, and with Fourth Master Liu here, I should be able to bring in Third Master Qiu's body."

Shen Qiao thought for a while and said.

She didn't think it was that simple.

Several people were drunk, why did this Qiu Sanye run to a lotus pond some distance from the guest room, and it was still in the weather when it was raining heavily.

She wanted to go over and see that although the rain could wash away many traces, there would also be things that could not be washed away, or that had not yet had time to dissipate.

"No, Miss Shen. How could I let you pass! Just let the mother-in-law go. ”

Madame Huang refused.

"It's alright, Madame Huang." Shen Qiao smiled, and then said to the two mothers-in-law behind him, "Please come over with me to help!" ”

The two mothers-in-law hurriedly waved their hands.

Mrs. Huang couldn't stop Shen Qiao, so she went.

Holding an umbrella, Shen Qiao walked to the corpse.

Liu Siye didn't say a word, asked his mother-in-law to lift two feet, he looked up, and didn't let Shen Qiao do anything, so he directly began to move Qiu Sanye's body.

Shen Qiao observed Qiu Sanye's face, except for the scar on his face, the rest was very white, Qiu Sanye's clothes were not very messy, his shoes were all worn, lying upright, it seemed that he was not drowned by falling into the water.

The edge of the lotus pond was muddy, and when the corpse was lifted, the soil took on a humanoid shape similar to the corpse.

Suddenly, a very small thing fell from the body that was lifted, Liu Siye and the two mothers-in-law didn't see it, so Shen Qiao could only step forward and pick it up.

At first glance, it was a thumb-sized piece of wood, as if it had been cut from some piece of furniture or stick.

Why did this thing exist and it fell from Qiu Sanye's corpse?

"Miss Shen!"

Mrs. Huang saw Shen Qiao squatting there for a while, not knowing what she was doing, so she shouted.

"Hey, Mrs. Huang, I'll come here."

Shen Qiao replied.
