Chapter 595: Eavesdropping (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Sending Jingshuang back to Jinglan Pavilion, Cen Xiyan did not change his night clothes, and immediately floated away again.

Jingshuang and Yingxue could probably guess what Cen Xiyan was going to do, so no one opened their mouths to ask.

Cen Xiyan walked out of Jinglan Pavilion and went to the courtyard where the Zhao family lived.

She found the room where Zhao lived, and there was a faint light of the lights in it, and sure enough, Zhao had not slept yet.

Cen Xiyan stepped to the bottom of his toes, and his body lightly jumped onto the roof, quietly removed a tile, and looked into the house.

There were only two people inside, Zhao and Feng's mother, Zhao was eating bird's nest soup with a small bowl, while Feng's mother was sitting not far away, holding needles and threads and embroidery supports, as if she was embroidering something.

However, Cen Xiyan could see that the two masters and servants, one was absent-minded about eating, and the other was absent-minded about embroidering.

"Mother Feng." Zhao suddenly spoke.

Mother Feng seemed to be taken aback, the needle in her hand suddenly pierced her finger, she "hissed", quickly put down the needle and thread and embroidery support, and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, while responding: "Madam, the slave is here." ”

"What? Did I scare you when I called you? Zhao said nonchaltly.

"Nope!" Feng's mother subconsciously denied it, and immediately added and explained: "It's just that I didn't pay attention, I was stabbed, I'm old, my hands and feet are not good, and I often make this mistake recently." ”

"Oh......" Zhao glanced at Feng's mother, and said lightly: "You are the old man next to me, and you are also the person I trust the most, whether it is now or in the future, I will not treat your ...... badly"

Mother Feng hurriedly said: "Madame has always treated slaves and maids very well, slaves and maids remember, such days, slaves and maids are already content......

Zhao Shi glanced at Feng's mother deeply, and said: "I am also very sad about the death of Mrs. Wei, alas, ......"

Mother Feng's body trembled slightly, and then she continued: "Wei Niangzi ended up like this, because she was too restless and careless, and Madame doesn't have to blame herself." ”

"Tomorrow, burn more paper money for me and give it to her." Zhao commanded.

"Yes, ma'am." Mother Feng bowed her head and agreed.

Zhao glanced at Feng's mother deeply, and then saw the bowl in his hand put down, and said: "I'm done eating, take it down, it's not too early, don't embroider, you can go and rest." ”

"Then madam, you should rest early." As she spoke, Feng's mother got up, took the bowl in one hand and the sewing box in the other, and left Zhao's room.

Cen Xiyan saw that there was nothing to hear and see, so he restored the tile, and secretly said in his heart, this Zhao family can be careful enough!

Listening to the content of their master and servant's conversation, there is almost no leakage, there seems to be nothing wrong with it, I think that the Zhao family came because something happened, and I am afraid that someone will monitor it.

However, carefully pondering the conversation between Zhao and Feng's mother, as well as their reactions, can still figure out some obscure meanings.

Cen Xiyan has basically affirmed that Wei Niangzi's death is inseparable from the Zhao family!

She quietly floated out of the Zhao family's courtyard, originally planning to go back to Jinglan Pavilion, but after thinking about it, she turned a corner again and headed towards Cen Lan's courtyard.

But when she was about to reach Cen Lan's yard, Cen Xiyan suddenly flashed behind a big tree and hid it, because she saw Cen Lan walking out of the yard with a lantern.

Yes, it was Cen Lan who was carrying the lantern in his own hand, and the subordinate named Amu did not follow him this time.

Cen Xiyan watched Cen Lan walk quickly, and soon walked past the big tree where she was hiding, and gradually walked away.

Cen Xiyan didn't hesitate and quietly followed behind Cen Lan, wanting to see where he was going.

Soon, Cen Xiyan knew where Cen Lan was going, and the direction he was going in was her cheap father, Cen Wei's study!

The lights are on in Cen Biao's study, obviously Cen Biao hasn't rested yet, I just don't know if he is busy with major events in the court, or if he is thinking about what happened in the house, or, he didn't do anything, just idle writing and reading?

Cen Lan walked to the door, stretched out her hand and patted the door, and said, "Big brother, it's me." ”

"Is it the third brother? Is there something wrong with coming so late? Cen Fu's voice came from inside, and then he ordered the people around him to open the door.

The door opened from the inside, and a person dressed as a small servant opened the door and invited Cen Lan in, "Third master, please come in." ”

Cen Lan walked in, and the little guy helped pour tea for Cen Lan.

"There's something I want to talk to my big brother about." Cen Lan said.

When Cen Biao heard this, he waved his hand at the little guy, and the little guy understood, and after pouring the tea, he quickly exited the study.

After Cen Xiyan made sure that there was no one around, he quietly flew onto the roof again, and then lifted a tile and looked into Cen Wei's study.

At this time, I only heard Cen Biao say: "What's the matter, third brother, please tell me." ”

Cen Lan didn't mean anything right away, but reached out and took out something wrapped in a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket and put it in front of Cen Wei.

Cen Qiu's gaze fell on the wrapped handkerchief and asked, "What is this?" ”

"Big brother, you can open it and take a look." Cen Lan said.

Cen Wei glanced at Cen Lan, and then Yiyan picked up the handkerchief and opened it, but saw that what was wrapped in the handkerchief was a silver needle more than three inches long.

"What is this?" Cen Biao's face was full of puzzled expressions.

Cen Lan hooked the corners of her lips, smiled coldly, and said: "I just went to check on Wei Niangzi's body, this needle was pulled out from the back of Wei Niangzi's head, I think, the eldest brother should not doubt what I said, right?" ”

When Cen Biao heard this, his body suddenly shook! The face has changed several times! But in the end, it was calm. In the end, he put the handkerchief and needle back on the table, looked at Cen Lan, and asked seriously, "Isn't the third brother still thinking about reporting to the official?" ”

"Nope." Cen Lan shook her head and said, "I naturally know that reporting this kind of thing to the official is not good for my Cen family's reputation. ”

"And what are you?" Cen Biao asked again.

Cen Lan stared at Cen Wei, her tone was slow, and she said almost word by word: "Don't you want to know who the murderer is?" Why did you kill a Wei lady? After all, she's just a subordinate, so why put her to death? Unless, she knows a secret that no one wants to know......"

Cen Biao also had some bad premonitions and conjectures in his heart, but he frowned and thought for a while, and still said: "Wei Niangzi has followed the Zhao family for many years, and she is very valued by the Zhao family, maybe she is jealous and hateful. ”

"Heh......" Cen Lan sneered, "Does the eldest brother really think so?" Zhao's yard is full of women, killing Wei Niangzi, and then throwing the body into the well, it is obviously impossible for a woman to do it, big brother, you are too self-deceiving?! ”
