Chapter 185: Movement
"On the surface, it seems that the wound is suppurating and the high fever is incurable."
Feng Cheng's first reaction was disbelief: "I arranged for someone to inquire, and said that the person who took care of Ade's father was a distant relative, and Adele specially invited her father with the money from the sale of her body." It's been so long since the accident, why did it suddenly get worse? β
"So on the surface."
"You also think there is something strange about Orion's death?"
Lu Xuan smiled: "He was already injured, and the possibility of deterioration of the wound cannot be ruled out, and it is not easy to determine the real cause of death." But we don't need to be sure, if there is a problem with his death, Adele will have a move, and then keep an eye on Adele. β
"Did Adele get the news of her father's death?"
"The distant relative who took care of Orion has gone to find Ade."
"Lu Xuanβ" Feng Cheng shouted with a smile.
Lu Xuan looked at her vigilantly.
She suddenly smiled so sweetly, what did she want to do?
"If there is any movement over there, you must tell me in time!"
Relying only on Qian San and the two or three younger brothers he collected was too limited.
Lu Xuan glanced at her meaningfully: "You are in Shangshu Mansion, I am afraid it is difficult to ensure that the news is delivered in time, after all, I don't have many pigeons." β
Feng Cheng: "......" still holds a grudge!
Lu Xuan rarely choked Feng Cheng once, and when he saw that she was stunned and didn't speak, he didn't have the joy of gaining the upper hand.
"I'll let you know as soon as possible." The young man used a light breeze to hide the embarrassment of silently changing his words without waiting for the other party to ask for a few more words.
While drinking tea, a young man walked into the teahouse, and Noble hurriedly went upstairs to report to Lu Xuan.
"Let him go to the private room next door."
As the guy went out, Lu Xuan also got up: "I'll go next door and listen to what my subordinates have to say." β
Feng Cheng didn't wait long for Lu Xuan to come back.
"How?"
"Adei was accompanied by the thugs of the Red Apricot Pavilion to meet her father, and then went back, entrusting her father's funeral to distant relatives."
For a flower girl like Ade, who has lost her free body, she can be released to see her when something happens to her family, which can be regarded as a kind bustard.
Feng Cheng listened, and his mood was a little complicated.
If Adai wasn't the person she suspected, this would have been tragic.
In order to save his father, he sold himself to become a flower girl, but his father died.
Of course, as long as Adele has the slightest suspicion, her sympathy cannot be used indiscriminately.
"I've already arranged for someone to keep an eye on the Red Apricot Pavilion, and then wait and see what happens."
Feng Cheng nodded, said goodbye to Lu Xuan and returned to Shangshu Mansion, just as he met Feng Jinxi coming back.
"Orange has only come back from the eldest princess's mansion at this time."
"Your Highness kept me for a while." Feng Cheng approached, "The third uncle has been drinking." β
Feng Jinxi smiled disappreciatively: "It's over, and there are more banquets and entertainments." β
Feng Cheng frowned secretly, wanting to remind Feng Jinxi not to run out these days, but after thinking about it, he gave up.
Even if you can keep the third uncle at home these days, what about the future?
Instead of passively beware of the female concubine who doesn't know the true face approaching the third uncle, it is better to lead the snake out of the hole and take the initiative to solve the disaster.
"Third uncle, I won't go to the Eldest Princess's Mansion tomorrow, it's a pity to stay at home in such a good weather, why don't we go out to the lake and climb the mountain."
Listening to Feng Cheng's proposal, Feng Jinxi looked embarrassed: "I'm afraid it won't work tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the third uncle will definitely take you out to play the day after tomorrow." β
Feng Cheng pursed his lips and did not hide his disappointment: "What is the matter with the third uncle tomorrow?" β
"I have a friend who wants to have a banquet."
"The third uncle has a wide range of friends, and I have friends to feast every day, and when you have time to play with me, I'm afraid the summer will pass." Feng Cheng said, sighing deeply, "When I was a child, the third uncle was not like this. β
Feng Jinxi listened, and the corners of his eyes twitched.
When he was a child, he didn't want to take his eldest niece with him everywhere, but at that time he was thin and small, and he couldn't beat ......
When an uncle's niece cried, can this have a face to complain?
I had no choice but to take it with me.
"It's Dou Jiagolang who will treat you tomorrow, so it's hard to push."
Don't talk about the family, just talk about the family, for Feng Cheng, who is in this circle, he can naturally understand that this is talking about the Dou Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department.
"Where is the Dou family golang?"
Feng Jinxi raised his hand and rubbed Feng Cheng's head: "Why are you asking so much about the girl's family, but you can't go." β
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Feng Cheng didn't force it, so he turned around and sent Qian San to investigate.
Qian San quickly sent the news back.
The place where the Dou family Wulang feasted was the Jinshui River.
Dou Jiawulang is the youngest son of Dou Shangshu, who failed in the last session of the examination, and this time the results of the palace examination came out, and he ranked first from the bottom of the second class.
Some people may wonder what there is to celebrate in the penultimate place of the second class.
That's wrong.
The second class is the first from the bottom, and then it will fall to the top three. The second class is given to the Jinshi background, and the third class is given to the same Jinshi background, and the corresponding word with the Jinshi is such as Mrs., that is, the concubine.
From this, we can see the embarrassment of the birth of the same jinshi.
However, after the ranking of the palace examination is set, you can't retake the exam in the future, and the same Jinshi background will follow for a lifetime, and the ranking of the penultimate place in the second class will only be celebrated when you see it, but don't celebrate it well.
The Dou Mansion has already had a banquet, and tomorrow's scene is obviously Dou Wulang's private banquet for the princes of the various mansions.
Dou Wulang chartered a painting boat, and he wanted to have fun from day to night.
Originally, Feng Jinxi went to the banquet instead of going to those places in the Red Apricot Pavilion, Feng Cheng should be relieved, but for some reason, his eyelids jumped.
Sitting alone beside the orange tree draped in fresh green, Feng Cheng tried his best to remember the events of the time when he came to Fu.
She rummaged through every corner of her memory, and she had no memory of Dou Wulang's banquet.
In this way, you can only pay more attention.
The wind is beautiful in the turn of the day, the willows are green and the flowers are red, and the large and small pleasure boats wander on the Jinshui River, forming a moving scenery.
Feng Jinxi dressed up and went out decently and went straight to Jinshui River.
Not long after, Feng Cheng dressed up and went out of the door neatly and went straight to the Qingxin Teahouse.
Instead of waiting for news at home, it is better to wait at the teahouse.
At noon, as soon as the warm sun shone brightly, Feng Cheng was drowsy, and he was driven away from his sleepiness by the person who came to deliver the letter.
The one who delivered the news was Laixi: "Childe is waiting for you by the weeping willows of that conversation in Jinshuihe." β
Feng Cheng immediately rushed over.
Under the weeping willows, the young man was dressed in a green shirt, a little more low-key than usual.
Seeing Feng Cheng dressed in men's clothes, Lu Xuan was a little surprised: "Are you prepared in advance?" β
Count the time, it's too late to dress up like this temporarily.
"Be prepared." Feng Cheng looked for the Red Apricot Pavilion among the rows of pavilions on the shore, "Is there movement over there?" β
At this time, most of the painted boats with the fragrant powder are resting on the shore, and they will be lively after nightfall.
"Not long ago, the subordinates who were staring at the Red Apricot Pavilion found a teenager sneaking out of there, and when they looked closely, it was Ade."
"Adele escaped? Where did she go? β
Lu Xuan stretched out his hand and pointed to the painting boat on the Jinshui River: "She was discovered as soon as she slipped out, and the people of the Red Apricot Pavilion jumped into the river when they chased after her, and was later discovered by my subordinates and quietly climbed onto the painting boat." β
