The September day began to be a little cool, Fu Mujin was trying to sneak back to Shunhua, who was holding the warm quilt, to sleep back, when suddenly there were three or two footsteps in his ears, he raised his eyes vigilantly, quietly got out of bed, and came to the position of the window.

Knock Knock Knock –

"Childe, Ichidao fetched hot water for you, so that you can and... Young lady freshened up, are you up? The little scholar stood outside the door with a basin of hot water and asked softly.

Before long, the sneaky footsteps in my ears were gone.

"She's not awake yet." Fu Mujin pushed open the door slightly and took the hot water handed by Yidao.

The little scholar looked at Fu Mujian, whose hair was messy, his collarbone was half exposed, and his face was red when he was wrapped in fine sweat.

"Yes, Childe is already an adult." The blushing rice turned his face away and muttered quietly.

"What are you muttering about?" Fu Mujin asked puzzled.

"No, no, Childe, Yidao has something to ask you, I don't know if Childe can help Yidao intercede, help Yidao say a few good words in front of the young lady, what Yidao did not do right in the past, what did not do well, please have a lot of her, don't be like me."

Today's little scholar is particularly abnormal, he lowered his head, and he actually looked a little sincere.

"I can't." Fu Mujian replied softly.

"That's good, thank you, Childe... Well? ”

Yidao looked up in astonishment, grabbed the door, stopped Childe, who was about to close the door, and asked in surprise: "Childe, what did you just say, Yidao didn't hear clearly." ”

"My son said he couldn't." Someone replied lightly.

"Why?" The little scholar was puzzled.

"Because..."

Because he had just angered his daughter-in-law, he needed someone to help him say good things.

I am a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect myself, how can you let him help you.

"There's no why." Fu Mujin strengthened his hand, and urgently needed to close the door and sleep with his daughter-in-law.

Hearing this, the little scholar's heart suddenly became cold, and he slammed the door tightly, wanting to squeeze into the room.

"No, Childe, if you don't help Yidao, that Yidao will die this time."

"Why, did you break my wife's things?" Someone took the opportunity to emphasize the word Madame.

"That's not true, Childe, how can you be considered a family, and Yidao also wants to tie the knot with his little daughter-in-law." The shy and twisted scholar suddenly cried with a sad face, "But Yidao never expected that the little daughter-in-law was a little fat man... The young lady works in the house, and now she is dead, she will definitely not let Yidao marry a little daughter-in-law. ”

"Who is your little daughter-in-law?"

Suddenly, a lazy female voice came from behind him, and the two turned their heads in shock at the same time, Shun Hua was stretching out his hands, yawning, sitting on the edge of the bed, and looking over meaningfully.

The little scholar lowered his head embarrassedly, and said writhingly: "Shuangshuang, young lady, your personal maid Yan Shuangshuang, is the wife of Yidao who has not passed the door. ”

"What?"

Shunhua slapped vigorously, and a drum leg suddenly collapsed under the bed, and Shunhua rolled off the bed and lay on the ground, the coldness of the floor and the headache after being drunk hit at the same time, which was really painful and embarrassing.

"Lady." Fu Mujin hurriedly turned around to help.

"Who is... Don't, you lady... Disorderly... Call. ”

Shunhua, who was still angry, raised her head with a smile, withdrew her hand, and stubbornly wanted to get up by herself, only to find that her left hand was no longer strong, Fu Mujin noticed that her expression was different, and hurriedly held her arm to check her injury.

"Dislocated before, huh? You didn't heal well? His voice was a little deep, and his eyes were a little angry.

"That's not to blame you, that day, Miss Ben fell on the street, and she dislocated her hand and was about to save you before she could be treated, you are good, lying without blinking, and deceived Miss Ben around."

Shunhua withdrew her hand aggrievedly, and before she had time to get angry, someone picked her up first, causing the woman to exclaim.

"Where are you going to take Miss Ben, let me go?" She said with a blush on her face.

Fu Mujin lowered her eyes and smiled, put Shunhua lightly on the couch, knelt down on one knee, gently held her arm, and reset her dislocated arm.

"Lady, don't be angry, it's your husband's fault."

"Don't dare, what can be wrong with your eldest son, you go find another little lady, there is no Miss Ben's husband here." She muttered discontentedly.

"Well, it's okay not to call the husband, it's okay to call the Xianggong, it's the Xianggong's fault." He lowered his eyes and smiled.

"When did you learn to be so good? Yes. ”

said that it was too late, it was too fast, he inadvertently raised his head and restored Shunhua's arm, and the woman held her arm, and suddenly felt that it didn't hurt so much.

"The lady patronized and drank last night, didn't eat anything, Xianggong just learned to make porridge, Xianggong will go and make it for you." He rubbed her thumb gently and said softly.

Her eyes twitched slightly, and her heart was a little moved.

I must have learned it by drinking porridge every day when I was injured.

"If you don't eat, you don't have to do so much for Miss Ben, just like we said yesterday, in the future, we will return to the bridge and the road to the road."

"You don't like to hear me call Xianggong, you can call your husband."

His voice trembled a little, and she turned her head in surprise, just in time to see that the eyes that were as clear as stars were a little moist and a little red.

"Don't be like this, we've been—" Seeing him like this, she was also a little uncomfortable.

At this time, Yan Shuangshuang, who had just gotten up, ran over, curiously stretched out her head to look inside the door, and suddenly, she looked at the collapsed bed, covered her face in disbelief, and exclaimed: "What did you do last night, the bed collapsed." ”

"Ahem," the little boy coughed maturely, pulled Frost aside, and whispered in her ear.

"Oh, that's the case..."Yan Shuangshuang nodded, and had an epiphany.

Shunhua frowned slightly, and asked in a raised voice: "Little scholar, what did you say to Shuangshuang, don't teach my stupid girl." ”

"Young lady, don't think about Yidao like that, in fact, Yidao is not as bad as you imagined, and it is completely an object that can be entrusted for life." As he spoke, the little scholar looked at Yan Shuangshuang next to him, his eyes full of shyness.

"That's right, that's what the matchmaker's wife said." Yan Shuangshuang nodded seriously.

Shunhua held her forehead, I don't know if she was angry or funny looking at this stupid girl, it is estimated that she will help count the money if she is sold.

"Frost, do you like a rice? Want to be with him? ”

The silly girl thought about it seriously, and suddenly rushed over and hugged Shunhua.

"It's okay, Frosty likes Miss more, and Frost wants to be with Miss all the time."

Hearing this, a certain lady raised her eyebrows childishly and glanced at the little scholar proudly.

"Okay, for the sake of Frost Frost also liking a little bit of rice, Miss Ben will give you a chance."

The little scholar raised his eyes in surprise and looked at Shunhua in disbelief.

"Really?"

"Nature." Someone smiled evilly: "Uh-huh, first of all, you have to pick tea leaves from five acres of fields before sunset, go quickly." ”

"Uh..."

The little scholar was stunned, isn't this familiar routine the one that the master used to deal with her?

The embarrassed Yidao was about to ask his son-in-law for help, but how did he know that his son-in-law was quietly sitting next to Shunhua, drinking tea calmly and unmoved.

"Forget it, it's better to ask for others than for yourself, let's say, where is the tea house?"

"You go out and explain the reason to Steward Gu, and he will naturally take you there."

Shunhua quietly raised the corners of his mouth, and his heart was excited.

Little scholar, you also have today, hahaha.

At noon, Steward Gu, who came back from going out to run errands, came back with a stack of papers, and Shunhua, who was looking at the account book, raised his head slightly, and asked casually, "Did my father's case file come back?" ”

"Miss Hui, the people from the Criminal Department said that if you don't have a token, you can't transfer the old case file, so the old slave knocked on the side, inquired about it, and the transcription was brought back." Steward Gu respectfully reported.

Shunhua nodded, as if everything was expected.

"What do they say?"

"Miss Hui, what they said is not much different from twelve years ago, they all said that the master was robbed by bandits, and after leaving a broken carriage and a large pool of blood at the scene, he disappeared, and they also said..."

Steward Gu suddenly hesitated, and Shun Hua asked, "What else do they say?" ”

"They also said that the master has been missing for 12 years, and if he was alive, he would have come back long ago, and now they are still checking his whereabouts, and it is clear that he is looking for a needle in a haystack, and his efforts are in vain."

"Don't be discouraged, some people don't want to check, there will always be people who want to check." Shunhua turned his head and comforted.

"The old slave felt that what the eldest lady said was very true, so the old slave found the person he wanted to check after unremitting efforts."

"Oh? Got a windfall? Shunhua suddenly became interested, "Who is he?" ”

"It's an adult surnamed Ning, it is said that he is the youngest Qing official in history, he can't help but solve countless cases, and he is also extremely intelligent, presumably, with his help, the whereabouts of the master will soon be found out." Steward Gu said excitedly.

"That's good, if you have time, Miss Ben will definitely go to visit this Lord Ning." Shunhua said happily.

"And he's found some new clues."

Hearing this, Shunhua was ecstatic.

"Miss Ben just said, even if a person is dead, the body will not be found, my father must still be alive, tell me quickly, what is the new clue?"

"Miss Hui, it is said that a group of wild wolves are alive in the area where the old man was attacked, and Lord Naning said that the corpses of the coachman and the old man must have been taken by the wild wolves."

Hearing this, the brush in Shunhua's hand fell, and his smile stiffened.

"What kind of new clue is this, if Miss Ben sees the person surnamed Ning, she must question him carefully, how did he investigate the case?" Shunhua hugged his arms angrily and muttered angrily.

"That's right, it's time to question it carefully, the master hasn't determined life and death yet, how can he easily make a judgment?" Steward Gu nodded in agreement.

Shunhua sat back in his seat in frustration and picked up the brush again.

"If you want to come to this matter, you still have to check it yourself by Miss Ben."

"By the way, miss, there is one thing that the old slave doesn't know whether to say or not."

Shunhua looked at the housekeeper with a calm face, and had a bad premonition.

"You say."

"Miss Hui, yesterday, Yan Er... Isn't Lady Jade dead her biological mother? ”

"Yes, that's right, Miss Ben also guessed that her mother was poisoned, why is there something strange about this?"

Steward Gu walked over mysteriously and whispered: "Miss, there are really unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck, but I didn't expect that Lord Yu's own mother also passed away." ”

"What's going on?" Shun Hua opened his eyes in surprise.

"It is said that the death is ugly, the clothes do not cover the body, it was done by the flower thief in the city whose whereabouts are unknown, all the valuable things on his body were stolen, and in the end, he was thrown into the mountain stream, and he died too miserably."

"Flower thief, this is strange, my cousin will bring slaves when she goes in and out, even if she goes to the street, she will take the bridge, and there is a carriage in and out, how can she be attacked by flower thieves for no reason?" She wondered.

"The old slave also thinks it's strange, it's just that, Miss, you have to be careful when you go in and out recently, it's best to let your uncle follow, in order to be safe."

"He...," Shun Hua paused, "Butler Xie Gu reminded Miss Ben to pay attention, and also, how is his scholar doing?" ”

Hearing this, Steward Gu slowly raised his head, looking clever.

"Miss Hui, according to Miss's instructions, I have taught me how to pick tea, divide tea, and roast tea, and then let him set off to pick tea leaves at the tea house."

"That's good, let's learn a few more things, just with the money he earns as a scholar, he can't afford to support this stupid girl who loves to get into trouble."

Before that, Yan Rubing, who was wearing a hat, quietly went out of the back door, got into an unfamiliar carriage, and drove all the way to the city gate.
