"The doors and windows of the house were closed, and there was no sign of any struggle in the house. Judging from Ning Wenyuan's body, there were no wounds, and all the food and drinks he had eaten today had been tested, and they were all non-toxic. ”

"And all the servants of the Ning family have also inquired, and there are no idle people waiting for the Ning family to come and go today. It's just that the servant who was waiting outside the door heard Ning Wenyuan crying out to Miss Bai in the house, and when he pushed the door in, Ning Wenyuan was already dead. ”

"But I heard from him that it seems that Ning Wenyuan was originally suffering from heart failure, and he has not been seriously affected after taking medicine for many years. It's a pity that today for some reason, the blood flowed backwards, and there was no one around him to treat him in time, which led to his death. ”

Xie Yu heard what Lin Xiu said, raised her eyebrows, and asked in surprise: "Heart failure?" How have I never heard of it. ”

Lin Xiu was also a little curious, "Yes, it stands to reason that Ning Wenyuan is the youngest son of the second master of the Ning family, and the Ning family is well-off, if Ning Wenxuan suffers from heart failure, why hasn't there been any rumors?" ”

Regarding the rumors that Ning Wenyuan was in Kangping County, Xie Yu had also heard about it. Knowing that he was a young man, he was admitted to Xiucai at the age of eleven, and he was the dragon and phoenix among the people of the Ning family's generation, so the second master Ning attached great importance to him.

As for his temperament, everyone he saw said that he was as gentle as jade, and he was a humble son, and it was when the second girl Bai said that his empathy and divorce caused an uproar among everyone.

However, the furnishings in Ning Wenyuan's house complement the rumored temperament, fresh and elegant, with a few books and a burnt incense burner on the table.

Xie Yu twisted a pinch of incense ash and put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed, there was a light orchid fragrance remaining.

"The next generation said that their sons have different preferences, the second son likes green bamboo, and the third son likes orchids the most, so he will burn this orchid every day when he reads. I have also had this incense ash inspected, and there is no problem. ”

Xie Yu looked around and saw that the furnishings and carvings in the house were all related to orchid. He took out a carved wooden box from the drawer, and opened it to reveal the used incense powder box.

She nodded, picked up a book and asked, "How many sons does the Ning family have?" ”

"Three, but only two are from Ning's second wife, Han's family, and the second son, Ning Wenjin, is a concubine. Although he is a concubine, he is well-behaved and sensible, and he was quite favored by the second master Ning in the past, and even the Han family regarded him as his own. Speaking of which, Lin Xiu added: "By the way, the eldest prince Ning Wenxun fell off a horse a few years ago and broke his leg and became disabled, and now he can only lie on the bed, and he can no longer take the scientific examination." Now that Ning Wenyuan has happened again, it must have dealt a big blow to the Han family. ”

asked Lin Xiu beside him, "Where is the second lady now?" ”

"It should be in the mourning hall."

"Let's go see the second lady."

……

Although Ning Wenyuan died suddenly, the Ning family was well-off, but they also built a decent mourning hall for Ning Wenyuan in half a day.

When Xie Yu and Lin Xiu went to the mourning hall, the second son, Ning Wenjin, was accompanying the Han family, Xu was folding two sons in a row, and the Han family looked a little embarrassed, and when he looked up, he saw that it was from the official family, and immediately stood up and asked, "Can you find the murderer?" ”

Xie Yu shook her head and replied honestly: "If there is no doubt about this case, I am afraid that there is no murderer." ”

Hearing this, Han fell to the ground, "Impossible, Yuan'er was fine this morning, how could he suddenly die?" Xun'er is now disabled in bed, and Yuan'er is ...... again," Han said with some excitement, "His father is still preparing for the exam in Beijing, how dare I tell him about it......"

Seeing this, Ning Wenjin immediately stepped forward to stabilize Han's family, "Mother, take care, the fact of the second brother is an accident, I don't blame you." ”

Xie Yu was silent, stepped forward and asked, "Madame, doesn't you know that Young Master Ning suffers from an old disease of heart failure?" ”

Han Shi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said excitedly: "You are talking nonsense!" Yuan'er has always been in good health, where did he get any heart failure. Your county government is incompetent, and you can't find out the murderer, so you will blame us Yuan'er! ”

Saying that, Han Shi threw himself down in front of Ning Wenyuan's coffin, patted the coffin and cried: "Let's go!" If you can't find the real murderer of our distant son, don't come. ”

Ning Wenjin wanted to persuade him, but was slapped on the head by the Han family, "Your brother is dead, you don't seek justice for him, but you want to help outsiders speak?" ”

Han's slap was extremely hard, and red marks appeared on his cheeks. Ning Wenjin didn't refute, he only pressed the fingerprints on his face with his hand, and even his fingertips were a little red.

Lin Xiu wanted to talk back, but Xie Yu grabbed his sleeve and said, "Madame's grief for the loss of her son, I can't wait to bother, so I will leave first." ”

Seeing this, Ning Wenjin still took the initiative to send the two of them out of the house with a good temper.

The three of them walked to the corner of the corridor, and Xie Yu collided head-on with one person, and because he was unprepared, the whole person was knocked to the ground. Lin Xiu hurriedly helped her up from the ground, only to see that she was originally a subordinate of the Ning Mansion.

When the next person saw Xie Yu dressed up, he immediately begged for mercy. Xie Yu saw that he really had no intention, so he waved his hand and said, "It's okay." ”

Lin Xiu said, "Why are you so frizzy!" ”

Xu was bluffed by Lin Xiu, and when he saw the slap marks on Ning Wenjin's face, he didn't dare to speak.

Ning Wenjin said softly: "If Zhou Guanye asks you, you just have to answer." ”

With Ning Wenjin's approval, he had the courage to take out a handful of yellow talismans from his arms, "The second lady heard that the girl of the Bai family was dressed in red when she died, which was a bad omen, so she ordered someone to spread talismans everywhere in the house. But now that the third young master has passed, Madame is worried that these runes have collided with the third young master, so she ordered the minions to tear them off quickly. ”

It seems that Mrs. Han also knew that the divorce hurt the girl of the Bai family, for fear that the other party would really commit suicide because of the Ning family.

With all the precautions, Mrs. Han really didn't expect Ning Wenyuan to suddenly die of heart failure in the end.

This is the Ning family's private matter, and Lin Xiu and Xie Yu are not easy to talk to.

Ning Wenjin sighed slightly when he heard this, "Mother is also a beloved son, so she did these foolish things to make the two of you laugh." ”

After he said that, seeing that Xie Yu's face was covered with dust due to the fall, he took out a sweat towel from his arms and handed it to Xie Yu, "Wipe your face." ”

Xie Yu thanked him, simply wiped his face casually, and saw that Ning Wenjin didn't seem to have the will to take back the stained sweat towel, so he said to him: "The third young master doesn't need to send more, go back and take care of Mrs. Ning." ”

Ning Wenjin gave a salute to the two of them, and then returned to the mourning hall the same way.

Xie Yu said: "Along the way, I found that this second son of Ning is quite disciplined in his speech, and his temperament is also very docile. ”

Lin Xiu also agreed: "I heard that this Ning Wenjin is also very knowledgeable, but the eldest son Ning Wenxun is disabled, and the burden of scientific research falls on Ning Wenyuan, so Ning Wenjin naturally wants to take care of the Ning family's industry for Ning Wenyuan to study." ”

There are laws in the country, although the family of merchants is not forbidden. But if you are a businessman, you will not be able to become an official in this life. Ning Wenyuan is famous, and he is deeply valued by his father, and the Ning family's property cannot be abandoned, so naturally he can only ask Ning Wenjin to give up his career, which is really embarrassing.

Thinking of this, Xie Yu stretched out her hand, revealing the sweat towel that she was holding in the palm of her hand, but unfortunately the green bamboo embroidered on it was stained by her face.

"It's a pity that this embroiderer is done."

In the end, it is a good object for a rich and noble family, Xie Yu thought about it, and finally was reluctant to throw it away, so she took it into her arms.
