"Really?" Old Madam Duan Xu was not used to her closeness, so she couldn't help but be slightly stunned, then pondered for a while, and finally said, "Then let's go and meet, it's also lonely for her to stay alone, it's good to have you to talk to you." ”

The old woman's eyes shone slightly, and her palm, which was still delicate due to proper maintenance, gently covered the back of Ruosheng's hand and patted it.

The Buddha beads wrapped around her wrist also shook twice.

Ruosheng sat up, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, but his eyes involuntarily fell on the string of Buddhist beads, made of rosewood, the size of the grains was distinct, smooth and clean like jade, obviously caused by the frequent touching of human hands. People who don't know see it, they must think that Mrs. Duan is dedicated to the Buddha, very pious, and born with kind eyebrows and good eyes, she lives like a bodhisattva.

But those who are really dedicated to the Buddha must be kind-hearted people.

The grandmother that Ruosheng knows is far from being so kind that even an ant is reluctant to trample to death. Otherwise, when her mother was still a girl in the mansion in the past, she would not have been snubbed and contemptuous of everything. It is precisely because her mother is not loved by her mother that she will even take the house up and down, and treat her as well as the girl next to her.

If you didn't care about these things in the past, and now you think about it carefully, you will be completely indifferent to your grandmother and her party.

She sat up straight, faced Old Madam Duan, and asked a few more gossips about how she was, then smiled and retired, and followed someone to see her third cousin Su Yun.

As soon as she went out, the smile on her face quickly faded, and she reached out and rubbed her cheeks.

After laughing for a long time, my face was sour.

"Cousin, please." The person who walked in front of the leader was the big maid beside Mrs. Duan, smiling all the way. The maid and woman I met along the way, when I saw Ruosheng, I immediately bowed. There is nothing wrong with the etiquette.

In the early years, Ruosheng didn't run to Duan's house less, but this year she moved around a little less, but the people below were quite familiar with her. Suddenly, after crossing a gourd door, the big girl who led the way suddenly climbed up with Ruosheng, and smiled and talked about Ruosheng's time when he came to Duan's house when he was young. Playing with her. He also said that when he stayed overnight, he didn't want to ask her to leave, and the old lady also said that she would give her to Ruosheng and take her back to Lian's house.

The more she talked, the more she spoke.

Ruosheng asked: "The third cousin has changed places to live?" ”

The big girl was stunned. The face sneered: "The cousin girl has a good memory, and she only changed the place some time ago." ”

"Is it because of the marriage?" If you pretend to be curious.

"Probably, the slave doesn't know." Her face grew more and more sneered, and she lowered her head. No more words.

Earlier, the courtyard of Su Yun, the third girl of the Duan family, was next to the courtyard of the fourth girl, Su Xue. But in the spring. Duan Suxue is gone, and if she continues to live in this courtyard, it will always be a little unlucky, and Duan Suyun was given marriage. This place to live has been changed far away.

This road, if you have just walked, you just feel very unfamiliar. Sure enough, I didn't go through it.

After a while, they finally arrived in front of Duan Suyun's gate.

A group of little maidens sat in the shade of the flowers, doing needlework while enjoying the shade. Seeing someone coming, he immediately put down the things in his hand and stood up, and came to salute Ruosheng. Ruosheng nodded and swept around, no one knew her, but the maid of the Duan family, she couldn't tell the difference in the past, and she couldn't tell if the people in Duan Suyun's house had changed.

Hearing that she was coming, there was a slight noise in the room, and it calmed down again.

A big girl with calm eyebrows and eyes lifted the curtain and walked out, greeted Ruosheng with a smile, and then welcomed her in, while saying, "My cousin girl is here by chance, my girl is picking materials." ”

Sure enough, when Ruosheng entered the door, he saw the cloth piled up there.

She looked at it coldly, including Yun brocade, Shu brocade, and a few horses that she hadn't seen much, and she didn't feel a slight movement in her heart.

"It's been a long time, Ah Jiu."

In a daze, Duan Suyun looked at her, and there was no smile on his face, and called her.

Ruosheng smiled the moment he looked at her, leaned over and called out affectionately, "Third cousin".

There are no people around who don't know about Duan Suxue's murder in the begonia forest, and most of them know that Duan Suyun pointed at Ruosheng with red lips and white teeth on that day and said that she was the murderer.

Fortunately, looking at this smile, it doesn't look like it's finding fault.

Everyone said that even the third girl had a bad temper, but she also had a big heart, which seems to be true.

A group of people breathed a sigh of relief.

But Duan Suyun saw Ruosheng smiling, but his face immediately became ugly, but he didn't say anything bad in the end, he only asked Ruosheng to sit down in a slightly stiff tone, and asked people to serve tea quickly.

Silent, the maid brought tea up.

The clothes that had been piled up there were still piled up.

Ruosheng lowered his head and took a sip of tea, then raised his head to look at her and asked, "Third cousin, don't continue to choose?" ”

"It's rare for you to come back, I should naturally accompany you, when to choose the clothing is not to choose, not in a hurry at this time." Duan Suyun said indifferently, "But you came to me, but what's the matter?" ”

"Things? It's nothing, but I suddenly remembered my fourth cousin to ......"

"You!" Duan Suyun couldn't help but be shocked, and blurted out the word "you", but her voice was stuck, and she didn't say anything more in the middle of the sound, and she didn't know what she remembered, her expression changed rapidly, and it was easy to seem to calm down, so she waved her hand and sent the people who were waiting in the room, "Let's all go down, I'll pick up the material with my cousin." ”

The maidservants responded in unison, and the fish rushed out.

Hu Qiuniang didn't move, until Ruosheng said "retreat", she walked out slowly.

There was no one in the room, and it suddenly became empty, and there was a sudden silence, as if a needle could be heard.

Duan Suyun immediately lowered his voice and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Ruosheng rubbed the outer edge of the tea bowl, frowned twice, and asked instead of answering: "What does the third cousin think I mean?" ”

"What else can you mean?!" Duan Suyun suddenly started a fire, and after speaking, he quickly lowered it again, and took two deep breaths, "Okay Ah Jiu, I was wrong that day, I shouldn't say that you did it indiscriminately...... You know, I was so confused that day, I don't know what I said......"

"Third cousin, don't worry, I'm not talking about it."

Duan Suyun was stunned.

Ruosheng's eyes were suddenly as cold as frost and snow, and his fingers clenched the tea bowl in his hand: "Cousin Su Xue's death, I'm afraid it wasn't the maid's doing, right?" ”

"What nonsense are you talking about—" The girl in Chinese clothes suddenly turned pale and rebuked in a low voice.

"Nonsense? What I said, is it really nonsense? Ruosheng looked her in the eye and hooked the corners of his lips.

That case was closed too quickly, too quickly, and the Duan family themselves asked to close the case, no matter how you look at it, it seems to be greasy here. Ruosheng was suspicious at that time, the real culprit was not Duan Suxue's maid, but someone else.

The maid hanged herself, and there was no proof of her death.

But it is precisely because of this that she is more like a scapegoat who was taken out by the Duan family.

But why did the Duan family do this?

Even if it was just a concubine who died, she was also the daughter of the Duan family, and it didn't matter if she was favored or not, after all, she had the surname Duan.

Ruosheng secretly pondered, but he had no clue, and it wasn't until he inadvertently talked about this matter with Su Yu some time ago that he firmly believed that the murderer must be someone else.

And the Duan family's approach doesn't seem to be so difficult to speculate.

She lowered her voice, and she didn't know whether to regret or ridicule: "That kind of case, it stands to reason that it should be thoroughly investigated, didn't the third cousin?" But in a blink of an eye, the case was closed in a hurry, saying that the maid next to Cousin Su Xue was resentful because of her reprimand, and had bad thoughts, and was a killer in pain, and regretted and was afraid afterwards, so she hanged herself - third cousin, do you believe it? ”

"Of course I do!" Duan Suyun came back to her senses, gritted her teeth and said, "That has a vicious heart, it's not a pity to die!" ”

Ruosheng suddenly sighed: "But I don't believe it." ”

When Duan Suyun heard this, he was shocked, and clenched his hands: "Could it really be that you can't-"

"No, it should be the third cousin, you are!"

Duan Suyun Huo Ran stood up, stretched out his finger and pointed at Ruosheng and scolded: "Ridiculous! ”

"Ridiculous?" Ruosheng's eyes were clear and indifferent, "The third cousin dares to say, don't grandfathers and grandmothers think like this?" Or don't my uncle and aunt think the same way? ”

As soon as these words came out, Duan Suyun's momentum fell, but his body was still straight: "What do you know, you don't know anything!" ”

"Does the third cousin dare to swear by a curse?"

"Do you think I'm still a little girl like you, what kind of curse to bet on, what to swear, nonsense!" Duan Suyun gritted his teeth and looked at the girl in front of him who was a few years younger than himself, his hands trembled slightly. The person in front of her is not very old, and there is even childishness shrouded in childishness between her beautiful eyebrows and eyes, but for some reason, the eyes she looks at seem to be able to see through her own thoughts. "The murderer is that!" Thinking like this, Duan Suyun shuddered and tried his best to distinguish, "It's not me!" ”

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became weird.

Ruosheng's expression was still indifferent.

Of course, she knew that the murderer was not Duan Suyun, but she also guessed that the Duan family was also suspicious of her cousin.

Except for her and the two servants of the green banana who were present that day, there was only Duan Suyun.

Su Yu clearly eliminated the suspicion for her, and the green banana has been following her, so naturally there is no suspicion, but Duan Suyun can't tell clearly, not to mention that as soon as the meeting arrives, she pointed at Ruosheng and said that Ruosheng is the murderer, and she looks like she has no silver three hundred taels here, who can not suspect her?

Therefore, the Duan family did not dare to ask the case to continue to investigate, and it was closed in a hurry.

Ruosheng said in a low voice: "If I go and tell my eldest uncle that I bumped into you that day and poisoned Su Xue's cousin, do you think that the eldest uncle will believe it?" ”

Duan Suyun suddenly heard this, his face was shocked, the corners of his mouth twitched, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start, but he couldn't say it clearly.

Ruosheng smiled: "I have always remembered my cousin's slander against me that day." (To be continued)
