Chapter 169: Falling into the Well
"I ......" Shen Xi was blocked by Lu Qingyi and had nothing to say.
"I'll teach you how to practice swords." Lu Qingyi looked at Shen Xi's blushing face, walked behind her, put the sword in Shen Xi's hand, and then she held Shen Xi's hand to teach her martial arts.
Shen Xi admitted that she was held in Lu Qingyi's arms, and she was very down-to-earth.
The next morning, Shen Fang didn't see Lu Qingyi and asked Shen Xi where he had gone, Shen Xi looked at Shen Fang blankly, "You ask me how do I know?" ”
"Didn't he go back last night?" Shen Fang was gossipy, not serious.
"Who said he didn't go back? He taught me the sword for a while last night and he's gone! Shen Xi sniffed, he slept all night, and his nose was not breathing.
Shen Fang's expression was slightly disappointed.
Shen Xi didn't bother to take care of her, so he opened the door, and saw that it was already white outside, and there were still snowflakes in the sky, Shen Xi only felt that the cold was biting, so he quickly closed the door again, and turned around and told Shen Fang, "It's snowing, you wear more." ”
Shen Xi was no longer surprised by the snow, and he didn't like it, he just felt that it was too cold. When she returned to the room, she wore an extra padded jacket, and she wrapped herself like a zongzi, almost without draping the quilt on her body.
Shen Fang was a little disgusted when she saw her wearing so much, "You are a girl who wears so much, and you cover your face." ”
Shen Xi rolled her eyes again, didn't answer, she opened the door first, and walked outside, she was going to open the store, although it was snowing, business always had to be done.
There are hawkers along the way, and children are having snowball fights, the children are young and always like to play, but Shen Xi only thinks that the weather is bad.
Shen Xi bought a bowl of wontons, and when she brought them to the bookstore, they were already cold, and she could only look at the bowl of cold wontons in a daze.
After a long time, Fu Chuan and Ruofeng arrived at the store, their bodies were covered with snowflakes, and the two of them were panting, as if they were running.
"Why did you come by yourself? What if something happens? Fu Chuan didn't have time to drink hot water, the first sentence was to ask Shen Xi, in terms of dedication, he must be the first.
"It's not like you're all still sleeping, I want you to sleep a little longer, it's cold, it's snowing heavily, people don't want to go out, what will happen." Shen Xi said and handed them hot water.
Shen Xi felt sorry for Fu Chuan and Ruofeng, the two of them worked hard by her side, and there was no benefit, but they had never been sloppy in doing things.
"You can call us up, it's too dangerous for you to come by yourself." Fu Chuan drank the cup of hot water in one go, and then he felt warmer.
"It's been a long time since it snowed in the capital." Fu Chuan walked to the door and sighed as he looked at the snow falling heavier and heavier.
"Looking at this way, it is estimated that there are no guests today." Shen Xi and Fu Chuan sighed differently, Shen Xi was worried about the business of the bookstore, after all, she needed to support a large family.
Shen Xi couldn't be idle, so he wrote a letter to Wen Ru and asked him how he was doing, since Wen Ru returned to the town, they had never had any contact with each other except for Wen Ru's monthly lightning to send her the bookstore's silver taels and bills.
"Hey, aren't you afraid of being known by Brother Lu?" Fu Chuan suddenly appeared behind Shen Xi and said this sentence softly, startling Shen Xi.
Shen Xi turned his head and glanced at Fu Chuan, "If you don't say it, I don't say it, how can he know?" "A thousand books
Fu Chuan only smiled, turned around and left without speaking, Shen Xi looked at Fu Chuan's back, and felt more and more that something was wrong, she quickly got up and grabbed Fu Chuan, "I warn you, if you dare to tell Lu Qingyi, you won't want to eat meat again in the future." ”
"You contacted Brother Lu's old rival in private, and I was not allowed to tell him, I think you really have a ghost in your heart." Fu Chuan wanted to look at Shen Xi, and he looked at Shen Xi with provocative eyes.
"What the hell do I have, it's just a greeting, if you tell Lu Qingyi, aren't you looking for trouble?" Shen Xi was really helpless with Fu Chuan, "Forget it, I won't write it." ”
Ruofeng watched Fu Chuan and Shen Xi play on the side, and the corners of his mouth also showed a smile, he rarely smiled, although he was rescued by Shen Xi from the talent market, it was still difficult for him to really fit in, but Shen Xi's family never deliberately treated him well, and it was always very fair, which made Ruofeng very happy.
A person from a background like him doesn't need special treatment from others, what he needs is fairness and justice.
Because the snow was still falling until noon, there were not many pedestrians on the street, let alone the bookstore, so Shen Xi decided to close the door and go home for dinner directly, and rest this afternoon.
But as soon as she was about to close the store, Lu Qingyi and Chang Yi hurried over with solemn expressions. Shen Xi knew as soon as he looked at their faces that nothing good would happen.
Immediately, Fu Chuan and Ruofeng were asked to go back first.
"What's going on?" Shen Xi's voice was cold.
"Lin Ziwei is dead." Lu Qingyi looked colder than the snow that had just fallen, and there was no temperature on his body at all.
Hearing the news, Shen Xi was stunned for a moment, and then reacted again, "Why did she die?" "Lin Ziwei is dead now, no matter how she died, I am afraid that the Lin family will think of her, after all, she and Lin Ziwei have a lot of festivals.
thinks this is also the reason why Lu Qingyi and Chang Yi came to her.
"I found it in my own well this morning." Lu Qingyi and Chang Yi rushed to the scene with Liu Congwen early in the morning, and when they were salvaged, their bodies were already purple.
Liu Congwen is still investigating the scene.
"I'm going to check it out." Shen Xi got up and wanted to leave as he spoke.
"If you go now, I'm afraid that the Lin family will tear you apart, they all think that you killed Lin Ziwei, we came to tell you, just to let you be more careful." Lu Qingyi pressed Shen Xi down, frowning deeply.
"But am I just wronged by them?" Shen Xi couldn't have imagined that Lin Ziwei would die, or die in his own well.
"With Mr. Liu here, he will find out the truth and return your innocence, but you have to pay more attention during this period." Chang Yi also frowned slightly.
Lin Ziwei's sudden death will inevitably give the Lin family a big blow, I am afraid that the Lin family will sue the emperor at that time, if this is the case, Shen Xi will inevitably be imprisoned.
"How did Lin Ziwei die? Or soaked in their own well. Shen Xi couldn't help but shudder when she thought about it, Lin Ziwei couldn't think about it, even if she wanted to die, she would definitely pull her along, but she just fell into the well and died at this time, which inevitably made people suspicious.
"Her death was not an accident." Lu Qingyi's voice was very soft, but when he said it, it hit people's hearts.
The Lin family is a big family, Lord Lin has prestige in the court, and Lin Ziwei was a famous talented woman in the capital before, if she dies like this, it will be unacceptable.
And what is even more frightening behind this is that what kind of person can stretch out his hand so long that he will kill Lin Ziwei unknowingly and blame Shen Xi's head.
