In the low hut, the lamp oil was about to run out, and in the darkness, Qin Lan held a cup of warm tea and told her story.

Before that night, Qin Lan had been suffering for three days. Because Saikang was not at home for three days in a row, and occasionally came back and left in a blink of an eye, Qin Lan didn't know where he went or what he did. That night, the lightning flashed and thundered, Qin Lan was worried that Saikang was going out, and at that time, Saikang had disappeared for a day and a night. Just when Qin Lan decided to tell the eldest lady about the matter, Sai Kang suddenly came back.

According to Qin Lan's description, Sai Kang's expression was a little wrong after he went home, and his gloomy face seemed to be holding his breath. Qin Lan asked kindly, but who knew that Sai Kang raised his hand and hit him, and said something that made people completely unclear.

The situation at that time was too sudden, and Qin Lan didn't remember it clearly in her panic, as if she was saying something like a liar.

In the past, Qin Lan had always been submissive, and her husband never hid when he wanted to fight. But the courage that night came from somewhere made her dodge left and right in the room, which made Saikang even more excited.

At this time, Saikang's tuberculosis seemed to have been committed, and he kept coughing. Qin Lan observed from a distance for a while, and found that Saikang was not pretending to be sick, so he went over to help. Unexpectedly, Saikang coughed while grabbing Qin Lan and pressing Qin Lan to the ground.

Qin Lan said that Saikang was like a devil at that time, and seemed to have completely lost his mind, tearing her clothes like a mad dog.

Qin Lan was frightened at the time, she hadn't encountered a situation where Sai Kang wanted to touch her body for two years after marrying into the Sai family, perhaps out of instinct, Qin Lan tried her best to jam Sai Kang's neck with both hands, trying not to let his mouth touch his face. Qin Lan emphasized that he only stuck his neck and did not pinch him hard.

At that time, Saikang used all his strength and pressed down desperately.

After a stalemate for a while, Qin Lan suddenly felt that the pressure had become less, and only then did she find that Sai Kang had lost his breath, leaving a very shallow bruise on his neck.

This is the whole process of that night that Qin Lan described.

After listening to Qin Lan's description, Xia Shang didn't have much expression and nodded: "Are you saying that the eldest lady and eldest lady have already found bruises, and they have already begun to doubt you in their hearts?" ”

Qin Lan is worried about this, she is helpless in the Sai family, how can she live a stable life with a single life? In desperation, she chose to come to Xia Shang for help, she didn't know what Xia Shang could help her, but at least she had more to rely on.

Until now, Qin Lan was still trembling, and he came to Xia Shang late at night because the Sai family was asleep, and he came here at great risk.

Qin Lan was trembling when she spoke, Xia Shang couldn't bear it when she saw it, so she comforted her with kind words: "Don't be afraid, even if the eldest lady and eldest lady know that you have something to do with this matter, they won't do anything to you." ”

A light flashed in Qin Lan's trance-like eyes, but then it disappeared again, and finally turned into a wry smile: "You don't have to comfort me. How could a woman spare someone who harmed her child? ”

"Not necessarily. Imagine what kind of attitude Saikang has towards the eldest lady on weekdays? I heard that Saikang hates the eldest lady the most, right? She never gave the eldest lady a good face, and the eldest lady would never set foot in Saikang's room. How much affection can a mother and child have in this relationship? Look at the current situation of the Sai family, Sai Kang is dead, and there is no male in the family. I also heard that the second and third ladies have always been dissatisfied with the eldest lady's monopoly on household power. Now that there are no men in the house, will they be quiet? It is estimated that after the funeral is over, they will have to divide the family property. What the eldest lady is worried about now is not how her son died, what she thinks about is how to stabilize the Sai family, so even if she has a prejudice against you, she will not make any more trouble for the Sai family at this juncture. ”

Qin Lan was skeptical: "You have a certificate." ”

"The eldest lady knows that this matter is related to you, but she claims that her son's death from tuberculosis is the best proof."

Qin Lan felt that what Xia Shang said was reasonable, and the panic on his face finally eased.

Taking this opportunity, Xia Shang said again: "Xiao Lanlan, you don't have to worry, no matter what, you are still the daughter-in-law of the Sai family in name, the eldest lady will not touch you, and she will not let the eldest lady touch you." When this matter is over, they don't have an excuse to bring it up again, as long as they do things in a low-key manner in the future, everything will be easy to say. ”

Qin Lan took a sip of water, finally relieved, and looked at Xia Shang gratefully, not knowing what to say for a while.

Xia Shang smiled kindly: "Okay, you go back first." Being discovered is only a matter of trouble. ”

Qin Lan got up as she said, bringing a gust of wind to extinguish the oil lamp, and the room was pitch black. I vaguely saw Qin Lan walking to the door, paused, and suddenly turned around and asked, "You took your husband with you that day...... Contest...... Where did Saikang go? Why has he been so away from home ever since? ”

"Forehead ......"

Could it be that she wants to take her man to visit the green building at high speed? Isn't that wrong?

Fortunately, there was no light in the room, which did not let her see Xia Shang's embarrassment.

"People are dead, what's the use of asking about that? You'd better go back quickly. ”

Qin Lan didn't ask any more and left quietly.

It was late at night, Xia Shang turned over and lay on the bed, he should have fallen asleep but couldn't feel at ease for a long time.

Why?

There are many strange details of that night, why did Sai Kang lose his soul when he returned? Why the sudden outburst? Why was he violent against Qin Lan? Through Saikang's understanding, Xia Shang didn't feel that this was a very unreasonable neurosis, and there was at least a reason for his abnormal behavior.

Since there is a reason, Saikang's death will not be so simple.

And Qin Lan also said that Sai Kang has been wandering out recently, and she doesn't know where Sai Kang has gone, but Xia Shang knows.

Except for Lichun Temple, Saikang can't have any other place to go.

If Saikang had a problem in Lichun Courtyard, did he also have a little responsibility at this time?

Thinking about it, Xia Shang shook his head, feeling that this reason was very nonsense. I obviously like Xiao Lanlan, but now that her man is dead, I should be happy, who cares how he died? If you go to find out the cause of death, isn't it nosy?

After thinking about it again, if this matter was investigated clearly, would Xiao Lanlan be grateful to herself for this? If you can get some Xiao Lanlan's favor, it's okay to take care of this nosy thing.

Early the next morning, Sang Sang delivered what Xia Shang wanted early in the morning, handed it over to the Fang family brothers, and left in a hurry.

The things were two large wooden boxes, stuffed with grain and grass, delivered by a few strong men. The strong man also said that this was the first batch of goods, and it seemed that there would be similar things in the future.

The Fang family brothers had been discussing what "that thing" in Xia Shang's mouth was last night, and the discussion had been fruitless all night, and now it was finally there.

The two of them were busy dismantling it, thinking that it was some great object, and after working for a long time, it turned out to be a batch of white porcelain plates and white porcelain spoons.

It's just that the craftsmanship of the plate and spoon is very exquisite, the surface is smooth, the size is uniform, and it is bought on the market, not to mention more than 500 Wenwen. And these plates are slightly larger than ordinary plates, and there are simple blue and white patterns on the outer edge of the plates, and in the middle of the blue and white patterns are four small characters - "delicious and good". The same pattern and handwriting are also found on the spoon.
