Chen Tongsheng's first reaction was to be angry, but she looked at Song Chuanbai's smiling expression, and she controlled her expression very vigilantly. In Song Chuanbai's eyes, this was like a kitten arching its back and was about to blow up, but its back was halfway arched and he paused in disbelief, so he stared at the person in front of him with a pair of beautiful light-colored pupils, and turned around with a pair of ears straight upright. It was as if just reaching out at this moment would scare her into grinning and stumbling back.

It stands to reason that Chen Tongsheng obviously didn't care about this at that time, and now it's a bit of an afterthought.

Song Chuanbai said: "The governor has brought back the body of his beloved daughter for burial, and this matter has ended, so there is nothing more to say." ”

Chen Tongsheng looked at his slightly leaning face, which was like white jade, and thought, would he do such a thing? To exonerate a rich family who has brutally killed an innocent girl, and not hesitate to kill another equally innocent girl because of this?

He can do it, but he can't seem to do it.

The reason why Chen Tongsheng doesn't have much fear of Song Chuanbai is that Song Chuanbai really doesn't have a frame for her, which Chen Tongsheng can intuitively feel. Maybe it was because he didn't save Heming at that time, Song Chuanbai pinned that guilt on her, looking at her as if she was looking at Fang Heming's orphan. On the other hand, when Fang Heming was still alive, Chen Tongsheng also saw Song Chuanbai many times, at that time he looked younger than now, wearing a fluffy fox fur coat, and the maid had an umbrella on the side, very dignified, standing in the snow watching her practice swords.

Chen Tongsheng didn't take this kind of guest who came to the master seriously, and being able to enter the courtyard meant that she didn't have to avoid it. When she finished practicing the sword and walked into the house with a thin sweat on her forehead in the ice and snow, Song Chuanbai stopped and asked a little apologetically, "Can you raise it?" ”

At that time, Song Chuanbai, who was still deeply involved in the turmoil of the empress's accession to the throne, took out a kitten from his arms, and the kitten cub was asleep in the gold silk clothes, snoring warmly, and began to arch when it was cold. Chen Tongsheng didn't raise the cat in the end, but the young man in the snow lowered his head and carefully supported the cat, and the scene of the exhaled mist scattering in the air was always remembered by Chen Tongsheng. Gentle like falling snow.

This impression has been maintained until now, so when she grinned at people willfully, she chose Song Chuanbai, a target who was more familiar than ordinary people and looked good-tempered. She asked this, that is, to confirm that Song Chuanbai did not do that kind of unconscionable thing.

Song Chuanbai then asked, "Do you have anything else to say to me?" ”

Chen Tongsheng was inexplicably a little annoyed, controlled his expression, and played drums up and down in his heart.

Song Chuanbai's eyes are poisonous, she does have something to tell Yang and Hou, and Song Chuanbai's answer to the question of whether to really help Fang Xuanlin will affect what Chen Tongsheng will say to him next.

Before the time was turned back, when Chen Tongsheng and others found out the location of the workshop, and Song Zhilan reported the matter back to the Hou Mansion, Chen Tongsheng followed Wang Chengnan back to her home.

When Chen Tongsheng stood in front of the house that looked a little gray because no one lived for months, he suddenly asked, "Your father, do you live here?" ”

Wang Chengnan was a little dazed: "Huh? Oh, yes. ”

The tattered fence was crooked, and even a more powerful fox could knock it down, and the hides hanging from the shelves in front of the door were dry from the long sun, and the fur was dull to the touch. Doors, tables, chairs, nothing is not potholed. It's not like a smuggling father and a sleek daughter live.

If a person is reluctant to use money, there is nothing left in terms of food, clothing and housing. What's more, even if you don't count on Wang Orion, but the leather shop that Wang Chengnan took over after that, it will not be impossible to take out a little income to repair this home.

Even if you don't have the money, you don't have the idea of taking a few pieces of wood and building a new fence with your own hands.

But as far as this room looks like, they just don't.

Dad was busy with his shady deeds all day long, and he didn't care about anything. The daughter also has to get by, and she has no intention of being the master of the house at all.

Chen Tongsheng was invited to walk in and sit for a while, Wang Chengnan was busy in the back room and didn't know what he was doing, Chen Tongsheng still remembered that she was the person who might be related to Rong Li'er's death, and asked, "Does your father often beat you?" ”

The movement in the inner room stopped for a while, and Wang Chengnan answered vaguely.

The tables and stools in this house all show signs of beating. When the door closes, a depression in the door can be clearly seen. Contacting Wang Chengnan's cold reaction to her father, she should have had a very bad life over the years.

Wang Chengnan came out of it with a box and said, "I said before, as long as you can help me, I can help you find it." I don't help now, but I have one thing I'd like to ask you to help with. ”

She said: "You guessed it, since my mother left, my father has been very disgusted and cold to me, and he has beaten and scolded me at every turn, and he has been like this since I was a child. After a long time, I got used to it. ”

Because she has been verbally abused and beaten by her father for a long time, her resentment towards this man has been transferred to her family, which lives day and night. She didn't even want to put a little more effort into taking care of the place, keeping it orderly and clean was already the most she could do.

Wang Chengnan said: "Although I don't know where you came to the conclusion that my father may not live with me, you are right." After my father made a fortune by selling Feiguang, although he came back for a few days by chance, he had already bought a property outside, and even had an extra wife and children. Although the things he used in the past were not moved, they were actually abandoned. ”

"But these are actually nothing, I didn't expect anything from my father when I was young, he left, and I didn't have the confidence to force me to marry earlier." Wang Chengnan's eyes deliberately avoided Chen Tongsheng's gaze, and cast a little in the void, and his voice revealed a thick uneasiness: "Fortunately, in my lonely and hopeless days, there is always someone with me. She is now the daughter of the Grand Governor, Rong Li'er. ”

Chen Tongsheng's eyes changed, and sure enough, Rong Li'er.

"You probably think it's very surprising, how did I, the daughter of an ordinary Orion, get involved with someone else's daughter and become friends?" Wang Chengnan smiled bitterly and said: "My father can do this to me, it can be imagined that he has the heart of not wanting my daughter at any time." He had sold me when he was strapped for money, and after a few twists and turns, I finally entered the Grand Governor's Mansion, and became Miss Rong Li'er's maid, and served her for a few years, and then she saw that I was a person who did not like to be restrained, so she made the decision to let me go home. After returning home, I kept in touch with my young lady, and I guess we can be considered friends. ”

As she spoke, she opened the box, only to see that there were a few pieces of jewelry such as a bracelet and some broken silver. Wang Chengnan said: "These were given to me by Miss on the day I left the house, and I was never willing to use them." Because I was afraid that my father would look at it, I didn't dare to take it out on weekdays. ”

Chen Tongsheng pondered for a moment, thinking that this thing was probably taken out to support her words.

Wang Chengnan's fingers gently stroked the edge of the wooden box containing the jewelry, her fingers were very rough, the knuckles were large, and the skin was dry and a little yellow, not a pair of good-looking, girl's hands. She seemed to realize this, her fingers moved over the jewelry, but she didn't move, just swiped over the edge of the wooden box over and over again, her eyes were a little slack, and there was a clear yearning in her eyes.

She maintained this posture and said, "But since I came out of prison, I have not been able to contact Miss." I'm worried about her. Since you know Master Hou, can you, can you help me go to the Governor's Mansion to have a look, no, just help me ask Miss about the recent news. She raised her eyes and looked at Chen Tongsheng, and the longing in her eyes was a hundred times hotter: "I just want to know if Rong Lian'er is okay, please." ”

"No, no." Chen Tongsheng said: "But what are you lying to me for? ”

Wang Chengnan's hand stiffened suddenly, made a clumsy smile, and forced himself to ask, "Lie to you?" ”

Chen Tongsheng nodded: "Lie to me." ”

Wang Chengnan's words are full of loopholes.

The mere fact of 'going to be a maid and being put back' sounds ridiculous. Wang Orion scolded Wang Chengnan since he was a child, and now he has stayed by the side of a young lady who is compatible with him, which is not good clothes and food, but also good food and clothing. Miss is kind-hearted and wants to send her back, doesn't Wang Chengnan have any objections at all? What's the difference between that and hurting her?

Wang Chengnan actually came back like this, back to this home that she didn't want to look at more, and continued to hate it while keeping in touch with the young lady.

Secondly, Wang Chengnan was anxious to confirm Rong Lian'er's safety, as if he knew what was going to happen to her. But usually speaking, the daughter is well protected in the boudoir, and Rong Li'er is used to being strictly disciplined and cared for, wouldn't Wang Chengnan, who had been a maid in the Dadu Governor's Mansion, know this? How did she think that Rong Li'er would have an accident, did she know that Rong Li'er would sneak out of the house?

Chen Tongsheng briefly picked up two doubts and talked about them, Wang Chengnan opened his mouth to defend himself, Chen Tongsheng continued: "You tell me the truth, I will also tell you the true situation of Rong Li'er." ”

Wang Chengnan immediately retracted his heart to continue making up lies, and said eagerly: "You, do you know her recent news? ”

Chen Tongsheng didn't answer, just looked at her. Wang Chengnan's fingers pressed the wooden box tightly, to the point that her knuckles turned white, her face was very stiff, and after a long time, she smiled reluctantly: "If you don't tell me if Rong Li'er is okay, I can't tell you everything." ”

"Well, forget it." Chen Tongsheng stood up: "I'm leaving." ”

She opened the door and was about to step out, when Wang Chengnan called out to her from behind: "Wait." ”
