"It's true that your feet are much smaller than shoes, but small feet don't necessarily mean you can't wear big shoes."

"Zhu'er doesn't understand what the second lady means."

"You'll understand soon."

Yan Suwen whispered a few words to Yan Weilin, and Yan Weilin looked up at her and asked, "Are you sure?" ”

"Yes or no, just try it. If Yan Qi doesn't know where to look, he can ask him to go to Ning Xinzhai to find Youbai, and Youbai will find a way. ”

"Okay, listen to the second sister."

Yan Weilin called Yan Qi aside and said a few words in his ear. Although Yan Qi was a little puzzled, nothing appeared on his face, and he went out directly.

"If the second lady doesn't believe Zhu'er, she can drag Zhu'er out and beat her to death, or simply hand Zhu'er over to the people in the government to deal with. is so mysterious and secretive, it may not be possible to find out about the third lady. ”

"Don't worry, I won't keep you waiting too long."

Yan Suwen poured two cups of tea, one for Yan Weilin and one for himself.

The tea is Yan Weilin's tea, but the entrance is so astringent that Yan Suwen endured it and didn't spit it out in front of others.

"Big brother, you tea-"

"My second sister can't get used to drinking the tea here."

"Is our Yan family so poor? You are also the eldest son of the Yan family, how did you fall to the point of drinking tea stalks. ”

"Fallen? No, I deliberately asked Yan Shu to get it back. Although the Yan family is not rich, it is not to the point of poverty. The Yan family's tea is naturally not as good as in the Xiangfu, but it can also be eaten. The reason why I asked Yan Shu to prepare these for me was because I was worried that I would make a mistake in drinking tea and wasting my time. ”

"Tea Mistake?"

"My sister is not an ordinary boudoir woman, and her style of drinking tea is a bit like that legendary Jianghu person." Yan Weilin raised the teacup: "Drinking tea is not like my sister, who directly flushes water into the cup, but has to go through three procedures: tea review, tea viewing, and tea tasting." This so-called tea review is to review the tea leaves before making tea, to see that the varieties of tea are black tea, green tea, white tea, dark tea, oolong tea, etc., and the water temperature, brewing, brewing, and brewing methods used in different tea brewing are also different. To look at the tea is to look at the shape and color of the brewed tea leaves, in short, it is to see the shape and color of the tea leaves in the tea, soothe the body and mind, and delight the body and mind. After the tea is judged, the tea is watched, and the tea is tasted after the tea is watched. This one word has three mouths, and tea tasting is also very particular. ”

"Isn't tea to quench your thirst? If you are so troublesome, you will die of thirst. Yan Suwen put down the tea cup in his hand: "Fortunately, I grew up in Yanjiazhuang, otherwise it would be difficult for me to drink tea alone." Fortunately, the eldest brother thinks that this tea drinking is troublesome, and the husband I married seems to be not particular about drinking tea. ”

"Gu Xiang is not particular?" Yan Weilin shook his head lightly: "My sister's words are wrong, Gu Xiang is not unparticular, but he is not particular about his sister." ”

"Really?" Yan Suwen thought about it carefully, but it seemed that when she and Gu Changfeng were together, they rarely saw him drinking tea. "He doesn't pay attention to it, I will always know in the future, it's just that the tea here of the eldest brother can be changed a little, even if it is changed to the jasmine tea that my grandmother likes."

"I'll keep it for my sister later."

The brother and sister were talking when they heard footsteps outside. looked up, and smiled at the thing that Yan Qi was holding in his hand. Seeing the thing in Yan Qi's hand, Zhu'er was stunned, her eyes moved to Yan Su and asked, but she smiled slightly: "Is it an accident?" I've used this kind of shoe misfit before. ”

"Zhu'er didn't understand what Second Miss said."

"When I first saw the shoes, I thought it was because the owner of the shoes was worried about leaving too much evidence, so he deliberately shifted the weight of his body towards the back half of his foot. But the trampling marks left around the wellhead seem to be a little more casual. Small feet in big shoes, this kind of suspicion can be explained. ”

Pearl's mouth pursed.

"Your feet are indeed very small, if you rest in that kind of place where small feet are prevalent, you can change your fate just by relying on these natural little feet, at least not as you are now, just a maid. The easiest way for small feet to wear larger shoes is to wrap their feet layer by layer with a footcloth, and then tuck them into the shoes. However, because of the relationship between the foot cloth, the heel shoes do not fit, especially the forefoot, which cannot be forced, so it will leave such traces at the wellhead. ”

After Yan Suwen finished speaking, Zhu'er's feet were also wrapped in layers of footcloths. Pick up those grass clippings and put them on.

"Second Miss is indeed very smart!" Zhu'er closed her eyes: "That's right, these shoes are indeed worn by me, and I have indeed been to the well, but the death of the third lady really has nothing to do with me." ”

"It doesn't matter if it's okay, it's not up to you."

"Zhu'er knows, Zhu'er understands, Zhu'er will honestly tell the second lady and the eldest prince everything that happened that night."

"Say it."

Yan Suwen got up and took half a step back. Yan Qi had a good eye and moved a stool over.

"Since the death of Mrs. Da, the third lady has been depressed. In the past, the third lady was a character who couldn't stay at all, but now the third miss stays in her room almost all day long, and even the doors and windows are closed all the time. She no longer loses her temper with us like she used to, but she doesn't have the same energy as she used to. She became reticent, even with a hint of fear in her eyes. We don't know what the third lady is afraid of, and we don't dare to guess at will. ”

"How about the third sister, my eldest brother and I both know." Yan Suwen stared at Zhu'er's eyes: "Now, let's talk about something we don't know." ”

"The third lady is sick." Zhu'er quickly spat out five words: "Just before the third lady fell into the well, she was sick. In the past, when the young lady in the house was sick, she always invited her own doctor to come for a consultation, and the medicinal materials used were also taken from our Yan family's medicine shops. But this time, the third lady asked us to hide from the Yan family and secretly invited a doctor from outside. Not only the doctor, but even the medicines prescribed by the doctor were all bought by us from outside. Miss Three seemed scared, but she wouldn't tell us what she was afraid of. ”

"I know." Yan Su asked: "I know what the third sister is afraid of, and I also know why she has to ask for a doctor from outside, and she has to buy medicine from outside." ”

"Why?" Yan Weilin and Zhu'er asked almost in unison.

Yan Suwen first glanced at Yan Weilin and said, "I'll tell my eldest brother about these things in the future." Then, he said to Zhu'er, "This is not something that you should inquire about as a girl, continue your words." ”

"That night, according to the custom, it was the soothing soup I sent to the third lady. After leaving the lady's bedroom, I noticed that my earrings were missing, so I turned back to look for them, and it was at this time that I saw someone coming. ”

"Who?"

"Miss."

"Yun'er?" Yan Weilin obviously didn't expect that he would hear Yan Muyun's name from Zhu'er's mouth.

It was the eldest lady, she stood outside the third lady's bedroom, and knocked softly on the door. After a while, the third lady opened the door. ”

"What did they say?"

"I don't know, I really don't know. Although the third lady said that she had changed her temperament, she couldn't keep it when she would change back again. The eldest lady seems to be gentle, but we all know that her gentleness is faked, and her private methods are too much compared to the third lady, and she is the most offended person in the entire Yan Mansion. I didn't want to die, I didn't want to be punished, so I hid far away, never near. ”

"And then?"

After a few words, the eldest lady walked out of the third lady's bedroom. When the eldest lady left, she was so angry that she didn't even close the door of the third lady's room. I stood there for a while, and when I saw that the door of the third lady's room was always open, I wanted to go over and secretly close it for her. Just moved his foot, but saw the third lady close the door by herself. ”

"You watched the third sister close the bedroom door?"

"Yes."

"You saw the third sister?"

"No, I only saw one hand."

"A hand? You can tell from one hand that it is the third sister who closes the door? ”

"She is the only one in the third lady's room, if that hand is not hers, who else can it be?" Zhu'er asked rhetorically: "Although I didn't see how the eldest lady came, but when the eldest lady went in, I saw very clearly that she didn't bring her own maid, and it was I who went to bring the soothing soup to the third lady before, and I can be sure that there was no one else in the third miss's bedroom except her, not even a maid to serve." ”

"What happened after that?"

"I saw that the third lady closed the door, so I didn't linger any longer, and went back with the soup bowl."

"Where are you going?"

"I went to the kitchenette first, washed the soup bowl and set it aside. After that, go back to your room, undress and go to bed. ”

"And when did you go to the well?"

"Two nights later." Zhu'er explained: "Early the morning of the second day after delivering the soothing soup, the third lady sent a message, saying that she was in a bad mood and asked us not to disturb it for the next few days. Meals are only delivered once a day at noon. In addition, I also asked for some fruit snacks, which were delivered early that morning. ”

"Is it delivered to the bedroom?"

"It was delivered to the bedroom, but unlike in the past, it was not delivered to the young lady, but directly in the door."

"Can you see the third lady?"

"No, I only heard the voice of the young lady." Zhu'er recalled: "Miss's tone was very bad, we hurriedly put down our things and left, and for the next two days, we also left things at the door. Because Miss has had this temper since she was a child, everyone is used to it, and no one pays attention to when the things placed in front of Miss are taken in and when they are given away. Until, two days later, late that night, when I woke up, I heard an unusual sound. ”
