Chapter Seventy-One: Conspiracy
The conversation between the three people was not loud, and the women sitting there did not have some gossip hearts, and they all stopped talking quietly and looked at the three people standing.
"What did Jin'er say, this is your home, I can still detain you. I...... I just want Lin Mei to walk with you, this is the first time she has come to Xiao Mansion, she has never seen such a big mansion, let her see the world, don't be coaxed by the poor boy for a few pieces of silver. The second aunt pulled Xiao Shuanglin up and pushed her in front of the two of them.
"Mother!" Xiao Shuanglin twisted the belt of his clothes, his face was crimson, anxious and shy, how could his mother arrange her daughter like this.
"In this way, I will take Lin Mei to visit the Xiao Mansion." Xiao Jin's face still did not ease, I don't know if it was because she was annoyed by the second aunt just now, Xiao Jin's pink lips faded a little bloody.
"Miss Shi, Sister Lin, let's go." Xiao Jin pulled up the stone vine and took Xiao Shuanglin with him, and left without looking at the second aunt.
Xiao Jin's attitude made Shi Manman incomprehensible, in her impression, Xiao Jin was rarely so abnormal, let alone contradicting the elders.
Xiao Jin found Shi Manman's inquiring gaze, and thought she was worried about herself, so she patted the back of her hand and said, "I'm fine, I've been sitting for too long, and my chest is full of panic." ”
It seems that as Xiao Jin said, after she came out of Yixinxuan, her face looked a little better.
"Cousin Jin, it was my mother who was abrupt just now, and I apologize for my mother." Xiao Shuanglin, who was beside him, lowered his head in shame and said to Xiao Jin.
"The second aunt is straight, I don't feel at ease." Xiao Jin smiled.
"That's good, I heard my mother say that Cousin Jin's yard is even more beautiful than Yixin Garden, I wonder if I can see my sister today?" Maybe it was young, Xiao Shuanglin, who was still depressed one moment ago, heard Xiao Jin say that he didn't blame his mother, and the next moment he was innocent and lively like a child.
"Are you going with Miss Shi?" Xiao Jin asked Shi Manman. She stood by almost silently, silently as if she didn't exist.
"No, I have something to do." An Ge's threat is vivid, and she must see Xiao Lei alive to feel at ease.
"Won't my cousin go with you? Let's go together, it's boring to be alone. Before Xiao Shuanglin stepped forward and grabbed Shi Manman's hand, Shi Manman took a step back. She doesn't like to be touched, except for Xiao Lei.
"Cousin-in-law, don't you like me......" The rejected coquettishness made Xiao Shuanglin like a bullied kitten, and her eyes were full of grievances.
"I ...... It's not ......" Shi Manman sighed helplessly when he saw Xiao Shuanglin's tears rolling in his eyes.
"You go first, I'll come in a moment." Shi Cranberry can directly pinch the mouth of the little hooked snake that cries loudly to make it stop crying. But the delicate little girl in front of her, she was really helpless.
Shi Manman almost trotted away, and did not wait for Xiao Shuanglin to call "cousin" behind him.
……
Xiao He didn't know how many bowls of wine he had been poured into, and when he found that the whole world seemed to be spinning, he realized that he had drunk high.
He didn't dare to drink too much since that incident, but today he had to get Xiao Lei's cousin drunk. But I got drunk with my cousin, and I was dizzy from drinking.
Staggering on the Xiao Mansion Road and leaning on the wall, he finally got out, and wanted to go to the thatched house but forgot that he was not familiar with the Xiao family at all. "Damn it!" He cursed under his breath. If it weren't for that, he would have been happy to hold a banquet in the Xiao Mansion. But I can't be stubborn, so I can only compromise. Look, if you want to find a thatched house, you don't know where to go.
The crisp sound of the jade hitting the ground sounded at his feet, and he stopped staggering and squinted at the thing with drunken eyes.
It was as if he had been splashed with an invisible basin of biting cold water, and he was frozen and fell to the ground at the same time as he was awake. Xiao He sat on the ground, his red face was frightened, and his body was stiff and motionless.
"Do you recognize?" A lazy voice sounded over Xiao He's head, and when he looked up, he saw two slender legs shaking on the wall.
"What...... What the? Xiao He's teeth chattered in fear.
The man fell from the wall, squatted in front of Xiao He and grinned, "This." As he spoke, he grabbed something on the ground and shook it in front of Xiao He.
Xiao He blinked, and secretly said if he was too drunk, why was the beautiful little lady in front of him wearing men's clothes?
An Ge's enchanting face caused Xiao He's attention to shift from what was in his hand to his face.
"Smack!" A loud slap shook Xiao He's ears, and the sight in front of him shook.
"If you look at it wrong, your eyes will be useless." The bone fan shook in front of Xiao He's eyes, and the sharp fan handle stopped at the tip of Xiao He's nose.
Xiao He didn't dare to look at An Ge's face anymore, and looked at what he was holding.
Ordinary cyan jade spike, the jade spike is inlaid with a piece of jade of ordinary quality or even some flaws.
"You know." Not a question, but an affirmation.
"I don't recognize it, I don't recognize it." Xiao He shook his head and retreated, wanting to get up, but under the influence of alcohol, his body did not obey at all.
If Xiao He hadn't drunk, he might still be able to fight and calm down, but after drinking, his consciousness was hazy, and he was frightened by An Ge, and Xiao He, who was out of proportion, looked like he was three hundred taels of silver here.
Xiao He looked at the official card that was exposed on his waist when An Ge got up, and his head was stuffy again. The words "It's over, it's over" kept repeating in his head.
"It's him! It's definitely him! Suddenly, Xiao He changed his tone, "Did he let you threaten me?!" He really wants my life! Xiao He was already hysterical.
"Huh?" An Ge looked at Xiao He, who was crazy on the ground, and frowned.
An Ge appeared in the Xiao Mansion today because he had found some clues. Regarding the case that caused a sensation in the city when Xiao Lei was wrongfully accused of being a murderer, the real murderer has not been found so far.
And the reason why he will continue to investigate is that he found that this matter is indeed related to someone in the Xiao family, but there are clues and no evidence.
He had something ten thousand times more important than this, but he still found time to investigate, just because Shi Manman was related to the Xiao family. He can't win the favor of the other party, so it's not bad to let the other party owe him a favor.
An Ge also thought about using violence to pry open Shi Man's mouth, but he wasn't sure if Shi Manman had some hole cards that he didn't know. One wrong step is a loss, he won't do such a stupid thing.
It happened that the Xiao family held a banquet today, and he also mixed in, because the object of his suspicion was the groom official who was happy today. An Ge didn't tell anyone what he did, so he wanted to scare the other party after Xiao He drank too much, and see if he could get evidence from his mouth.
It's just that, it seems that from Xiao He's appearance, it's more than that.
"You killed the doctor at Baiyi Pharmacy, I'm only looking for you." An Ge didn't ask who the other party's "he" was.
"He forced me! I didn't expect him to be so scheming! I...... I'm just asking for money......" Xiao He cried bitterly as he spoke, flustered, regretting that he was incoherent.
"Tell me everything you know. If there is evidence to prove what you said, you may be able to live without dying......" It is because of the law that killing people pays for their lives that Xiao He was afraid.
But hearing An Ge's assurance, Xiao He raised the head buried in his hand, his eyes cleared for two minutes, and muttered, "Really? ”
"Seriously." An Ge nodded.
The sound of firecrackers outside the Xiao Mansion exploded again, which was to announce the end of the feast.
The male guests were drunk and hazy, and no one noticed that the groom was no longer at the table, but the occasional people who found it laughed at the groom and the groom might not be able to wait to go back to the cave room to spend candles.
The bridegroom who was in the cave room used his sleeve to wipe away the tears just now.
"Original...... It seems to be interesting. An Ge hooked his soul-dementoring lips again, and his smile made Xiao He stunned, and he didn't realize that a stream of sobs slipped into his slightly open mouth.
