Chapter 45: Cuizhu recounts the murderous travelogue

Xiang Xuemei's heart ached faintly, and when she turned around to leave in disappointment and loss, Old Lady Shen stopped her behind her and sued Huaiyu, and Huaijue just told her about him taking him away.

"What? Brother Qin was sued, saying that he was a murderer, how could it be? I'll go to the stone catcher and ask him to help me ask for clarification. As he spoke, he was about to rush out, but was pulled down by Old Lady Shen.

After holding Xiangxuemei down, Old Lady Shen put a white jade porcelain bottle in her hand again, and said meaningfully and solemnly: "Bring this bottle of medicine to the little prince with the way, his leg injury is not yet healed?" Tell him to take medicine twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, and don't slack off. ”

Xiang Xuemei took it silently, and Old Lady Shen already knew her mind when she looked at her expression, so she didn't say anything more.

Inside the inn.

Mu Qingzheng was sitting alone, and Youdong walked in with a face full of joy, "Master, she's here." ”

Mu Qing raised his eyelids, but his eyes did not sweep towards Youdong, but towards the door.

Youdong's surprise "She's coming" made Mu Qing's heart surge, she came, she came, she really came! But why did she come here?

Couldn't allow him to think about it, Xiang Xuemei, who was dressed in a tender yellow dress, had already walked in, standing by the door with a slight smile, Mu Qing stood up immediately, looked at the comer, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say for a while!

The two looked at each other, Xiang Xuemei smiled slightly, but her smile was full of apology and emotion.

But Mu Qing's eyes were full of expectation and hope.

At this time, Youdong quietly retreated and stood outside the door to ensure that the people in the house were not disturbed by the outside world.

"My grandfather said that your leg injury was not healed, so he asked me to bring medicine to you." As he spoke, he handed the small white jade bottle containing the medicine to Mu Qing.

It turned out that Xiang Xuemei, who was usually down-to-earth and generous, couldn't help but feel a little more shy and restrained when she knew that the person in front of her was her future husband.

Mu Qing took the medicine and said with some raw feelings: "This little injury doesn't matter, but I still have to bother Miss Xiang to send the medicine herself." ”

"Hey, your injuries should not be serious, but why should you embarrass yourself? Remember, no matter what, don't hurt yourself again. At this point, Xiang Xuemei had fully understood Mu Qing's good intentions in her heart, so she said softly.

When the latter heard this, he smiled warmly, but his heart ached, and he silently wanted to say that if it was for you, it would be okay to suffer more injuries.

However, although his heart is turbulent, his face is still warm and moist, as if there is no love.

And what about Xiang Xuemei? knew that he had unintentionally and intentionally deeply hurt Mu Qing directly or indirectly, and seeing him like this, knowing the pain in his heart, he also stood, not knowing what to say for a while, in order to express his guilty apology.

And, of course, your own mind and the decisions you have made.

"Do you think that I am still the same as when I was a child, just a little crab that runs rampant and domineering?" Xiang Xuemei looked at Mu Qing, smiled lightly, and suddenly casually mentioned the matter of the hour.

This indifferent sentence made Mu Qing look up at Xiang Xuemei in surprise, and he was surprised, happy and comforted in his heart.

It turned out that she already knew her identity; It turned out that she still remembered what happened when she was a child.

Therefore, it can be seen that she is not completely devoid of her own in her heart, on the contrary, she still has an emotion for herself.

Besides, now that she knows her identity, she has come to deliver the medicine in person, does that mean that she will not run away from herself anymore?

Seeing Mu Qing standing stunned, looking at himself with mixed feelings, but silently speaking, Xiang Xuemei said softly: "I'm sorry, I was still young at that time......

"There is no need to apologize or explain, as long as everything is okay with you, I am very happy." Mu Qing decisively interrupted her apology.

"But I can't bear to let you waste so much time." Xiang Xuemei still hurriedly said.

"For you, it's a lifetime thing, and it's only been four or five years, so why waste it." Mu Qing looked at Xiang Xuemei with deep affection.

"Actually, I, I promised my grandfather a few days ago that I would return to Beijing in three months." Xiang Xuemei lowered her head, looked at her toes and whispered softly.

"A few days ago, I went back to Beijing", she said the meaning of these words, of course Mu Qing couldn't be clearer, this was actually telling Mu Qing politely, she had already decided, and she would go back to Beijing in three months, so she was naturally going to marry him.

This simple sentence not only shows her decision and intentions, but also gives Mu Qing a promise.

"Well, good!"

This promise came so joyfully, so pleasantly, and so unexpectedly that Mu Qing was so excited that he could only say these two words.

After Mu Qing finished being excited, he remembered to ask Xiang Xuemei to sit down, and the two sat silently and warmly for a while.

Xiang Xuemei casually asked about Qin Huaiyu's case again, and Mu Qing told her the cause of the incident.

The room was full of warmth, and the two of them spoke softly.

Qingshan County, county ya.

Miss Fan's maid Cuizhu generously gave Ishikawa and the others a salute, and waited quietly for their questioning.

Xiao Yan and Ishikawa had already agreed on the content of some questions, and Ishikawa would ask her.

Ishikawa put his hands behind his back, felt that it was inappropriate, and clasped his hands together again, looking at Na Cuizhu, "Don't be nervous, I'm just asking you some questions, which are related to whether you can find the real culprit, you must answer truthfully." ”

Cuizhu nodded affirmatively, "Your Excellency is just asking, as long as the murderer can be caught as soon as possible, the slave will definitely know everything." ”

"Okay, you were also at the scene when the crime happened that day, right, please tell me in detail about the incident that day, and I heard that the murderer and your young lady are friends, is this serious?" Ishikawa asked.

"Yes, he is indeed a good sister to my young lady." Cuizhu first affirmed the problem and changed her friend to a good sister.

"Oh, didn't you say the murderer was a man? How can she be a good sister of your young lady? Ishikawa's eyes lit up, as if he had sniffed something.

"Because, at that time, he pretended to be a woman and approached Miss, and there was no trace of a man at all, so my Miss didn't know her true identity, but only found out after the crime." Cuizhu's logical words are very clear.

"Oh, and how did he get to know your young lady?"

"Three months ago, when I accompanied Miss to Qixia Pavilion to choose jewelry, I met a girl named Huaiyu, the girl helped my Miss choose several pieces of jewelry, my Miss liked it very much, so even if the two of them knew each other, they still felt like they were familiar at first sight, so the two made an appointment to go shopping together next time." Cuizhu carefully recalled the situation at that time.

"Huaiyu, you said that girl's name is Huaiyu? What is her last name? Ishikawa glanced at Xiao Yan in disbelief.

"That's right, she said that her name is Su Huaiyu, a native of Jincheng, and she recently lived at her aunt's house in Qingshan County." Cuizhu nodded affirmatively.

"And then?" Ishikawa continued to ask.

"Later, they gradually got acquainted with each other, so they often went out to play together, the Huaiyu girl is very straightforward and cute, and versatile, and can sing, and her female popularity is also top-notch, my young lady admires her very much, and since then she has been commensurate with her sisters." At this point, Tsuitake stopped and looked at Ishikawa.

Versatile, can also sing, female celebrities are also top-notch, how can the person described by Cuizhu be so familiar?

Ishikawa looked at Xiao Yan, who nodded slightly to him, affirming his thoughts.

Although Ishikawa had a general idea in his heart, he still needed more evidence to prove that the murderer in their mouth was not Qin Huaiyu at all, so he asked the maid Wen Yan, "What about what happened later?" So who did Su Huaiyu kill? After something happened, how can you be sure that the murderer is Qin Huaiyu's. ”

Cuizhu's eyes hid anger, as if he remembered the events of that day, he was very reluctant to mention it again, and after thinking for a long time, he raised his head and said softly: "On that day, my young lady should be asked by Miss Su to go to Baita Lake, which is located in a remote area, and between the mountains and forests, the two of them rowed a boat to the lake, and the slave maid and another girl Huan Green Chrysanthemum followed, swimming and watching the sky get dark, as if it was going to rain heavily, we all urged Miss to go ashore and return home as soon as possible.

Finally, when the boat docked on the shore, it began to rain heavily, and the young lady took shelter from the rain on the gazebo by the lake, and the slave maid thought that she would go to the carriage to get the umbrella and the young lady's cloak first, so she left only the green chrysanthemum to follow the young lady. But when the slave and maid came back with their umbrellas and cloaks, they, they were gone......"

When Ishikawa saw Cuizhu say "gone", his eyes widened, and he asked anxiously, "It's gone, how can three big living people not be seen?" ”

"It's gone, the slave maid went to get the umbrella, but it only took half an hour, and they were all gone, and the slave and maid immediately panicked, and searched all around the pavilion, but still couldn't find the three of them." Cuizhu talked about the thrilling events of that day, and her heart still palpitated.

Ishikawa listened carefully, and reminded Cuizhu: "Actually, you went to get the umbrella for a long time, they couldn't have disappeared out of thin air, or when you left, they casually went somewhere else?" ”

"Yes, the slave maid also thought so at that time, so I went to the carriage and called the coachman and the accompanying maid to look for it, and I didn't find it for more than half an hour, and the slave and maid were scared of their feet at that time, and they were afraid that the young lady had fallen into the lake, and they saw that it was almost dark, and when they were about to tell the coachman to go back and report, they saw the young lady coming from a distance, her eyes were empty, and her whole body was soaked and she was trembling, but she couldn't say half a word." Cuizhu also trembled all over her body as she spoke.

Xiao Yan, who had been silent, handed her a cup of hot tea, and comforted her softly: "Take a sip of hot tea, don't be afraid, the matter is over." ”

Cuizhu took the tea and took a sip, as soon as the slightly hot and warm tea took her mouth, it really calmed her down a lot, so she cast a grateful look at Xiao Yan and whispered: "Thank you, slave." ”

Xiao Yan nodded slightly with her and motioned for her to continue.
