In Fengxiang County, it has been a long time since people have been so panicked.

Nursing homes were added in front of large households, and there were fewer women in the market.

Cao Ruwan died, and the delicate eldest lady was kidnapped by thieves in her yard, and lost her life in a blink of an eye.

The magistrate of Fengxiang County led people to search the whole city, and finally found something strange in an abandoned alley not far from Cao's house. There were faint dark red blood stains on the old green bricks, and there were a few pieces of oiled paper cloth that came into view when they climbed over the low wall, and everyone was shocked when they lifted the oiled paper cloth.

A strong smell of blood came to the face, and then the scene that came into view made people feel like they were in the palace of Hades.

The sharp weapon slashed from Cao Ruwan's throat to her lower abdomen, and the long wound was like an open mouth, mocking the world.

Her eyes stared desperately, full of horror, her expression distorted, as if one could see the pain, struggling, pleading, crying, but to no avail, and in the end it all stopped at the moment when she lost her life.

Anyone who saw this felt a chill down their spine, as if a ghost was following them, waiting for the right moment to raise their swords and fall.

"It's miserable."

Frightened, someone began to vomit, and for a moment no one dared to touch the body.

The Cao family was the first to get the news, and the uncle of the Cao family was worried about his sister, so he didn't care about coming forward, and he fell to the ground with a weak knee after just looking at it, and he didn't come back to his senses until now.

The crying in the courtyard of the Cao family shook the sky, and the coffin had long been parked in the garden, but no one knew how to bury Miss Cao.

As soon as Cao Shi entered the door, he saw Mrs. Cao being held by someone.

"I want to see how I want, don't stop me, my sister Wan."

Seeing this, Cao Ruzhen hurriedly stepped forward to help: "Big lady, you ......"

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Cao pushed Cao Ruzhen away, Cao Ruzhen staggered and fell to the ground, and none of the subordinates next to her dared to step forward to help.

Mrs. Cao's expression was hideous, and she pointed at Cao Ruzhen and said sharply: "What happened that day? You were supposed to go to the garden, why did you change it to Sister Wan? ”

Cao Ruzhen's lips trembled and explained: "That morning, it happened that the account was going to be changed in my grandmother's room, and the second wife asked me to follow the housekeeper over, so as not to cause anything wrong, and the second sister was afraid that I would not be able to be busy, so she helped me go to the garden to fold flowers and branches." As she spoke, she looked at Mrs. Cao Er on the side pleadingly.

Mrs. Cao's eyes flashed, and now Mrs. Cao has a wave of anger in her heart, anyone who goes will be lit, although Ruzhen is good on weekdays, it is not convenient for her to stand up for Ruzhen now, so as not to make Mrs. Cao hold a grudge.

Wan Yatou's death is so miserable, no wonder the sister-in-law is like this.

Second Mrs. Cao shook her head, the current situation, such as chastity and forbearance, has passed.

Cao Ruzhen pursed her lips and stopped struggling.

Mrs. Cao was furious: "Sister Wan was killed by you, I knew that I shouldn't have left you in the house back then, you killed the fourth uncle, and now you have come to harm us, raised you for so many years, you don't want to say a word, Sister Wan has taken a life for you." ”

Mrs. Cao thought of her daughter's tragic situation, her eyes were red, she hoped that this was a nightmare, and now it was Ruwan who was standing in front of her: "Why is God so short-sighted, my sister Wan is dead, but others are alive." ”

Cao Ruzhen couldn't help but feel sad from her heart, tears crisscrossing her face.

Mrs. Cao couldn't see this, and stretched out her hand like Cao Ruzhen hit her face: "I've already cried to death, and you still don't give up." ”

Cao Ruzhen closed her eyes, and she could make her situation better if she was obedient, this had long been her habit, but the familiar pain did not come, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised.

A fat hand firmly grasped Mrs. Cao's wrist.

Then a soft voice: "Madam, your hands are so white......"

The soft and glutinous touch, I don't know what it was, flashed through Feng Xiao's mind, making her involuntarily swallow a mouthful.

Mrs. Cao tried hard to pull her hand out, and the housekeeper's mother next to her was about to come forward to help, but as soon as the phoenix's hand was loosened, Mrs. Cao's garlic under her feet fell backwards.

There was an immediate panic.

"Big lady, this is the murderer?" Xu Qinghuan glanced at Cao Ruzhen on the ground.

Before Mrs. Cao could speak, several mothers-in-law had already surrounded Cao Ruzhen.

"I'm good at taking these people to inquire," Xu Qinghuan raised her eyebrows slightly, "The eldest lady is embarrassed to force her to tell the truth, so it's better to hand her over to me." This is also about the reputation of our Xu family, and I will find out carefully. ”

The mother-in-law next to her saw that she was about to drag Cao Ruzhen.

"Misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding," Mrs. Cao Er hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Ruzhen, this girl has done something wrong, and the eldest lady is also anxious, just scare and scare her, how can she really do it." "If Ruzhen is interrogated by Xu Qinghuan as a thief, where will their Cao family's face be placed.

"If you can't help, don't make the eldest lady angry here," Second Mrs. Cao looked at Cao Ruzhen, "Go over and accompany your grandmother!" ”

Second Mrs. Cao spoke, and the maid dared to step forward to help Cao Ruzhen up.

Cao Ruzhen saluted everyone and left quickly with her head down.

"Miss Xu," Mrs. Cao only felt that her heart had been punched hard, and she took a long time to catch her breath, this Xu Qinghuan didn't make enough trouble in the Xu family, so she followed again, "The family is in a mess, and today and ...... Cao Jia...... It's going to be a time when you're not entertaining...... I hope that Miss Lady will understand...... I'm ...... The mood of motherhood. ”

"Sister Wan is really distressing," Xu Qinghuan raised her head slightly, "I brought someone over when I got the news, and now we should work with the yamen to handle the official documents, properly handle Sister Wan's afterlife, and let her be buried in peace." ”

Mrs. Cao gritted her teeth and was about to refuse, when the steward came to report: "Mrs. Chang, Mrs. Chang has already disposed of the body of the eldest lady, and the work of the yamen still has to be made as a document, and the body must be stored on the Yizhuang first. ”

"Chang Niangzi?"

Mrs. Cao followed the steward's gaze, only to see the crowd not far away slowly disperse, and a woman in her thirties wearing a blue dress and a coarse cloth coat walked in quickly.

Everyone avoided her like a plague god, but she didn't care as if she was commonplace, and walked straight to Xu Qinghuan's side and saluted: "It's ready to stop, you can go and see." ”

Xu Qinghuan nodded and was about to walk out.

Mrs. Cao's face changed greatly: "What are you going to do?" ”

"Go and take a look in the alley," Xu Qinghuan's gaze crossed everyone's faces, "Is there anyone else together?" ”

Seeing Xu Qinghuan leave with someone, Mrs. Cao's pale lips opened and closed and finally spit out two words: "Crazy, crazy, she's here to see a joke, have you seen it?" ”

Her voice grew sharper and sharper, but was suddenly interrupted.

"Okay," Master Cao stood there with a gloomy face, "There are still many things to be done at home, what to do with a few children." ”

Looking at her husband who was still in good spirits, Mrs. Cao's heart ached even more: "You don't care for Sister Wan'er, do you?" You...... You...... You ...... Father...... He's dead...... Daughter...... There are also concubines...... You...... You ......"

"That's enough," Master Cao's eyes were full of anger, and he grabbed Mrs. Cao's shoulder, "I don't know the so-called woman." ”

Seeing Master Cao leaving, Mrs. Cao refused to give up, and immediately asked people to help chase after her.

"You tell me clearly...... Could it be ...... I'm the only one for ...... Sister Wan is sad ......"

followed Master Cao all the way into the study in the backyard, and Mrs. Cao wanted to continue scolding, but found that the room was already full of people.

Old Madam Cao, Second Master Cao, and Third Master Cao all had gloomy faces and looked at her coldly.

Mrs. Cao panicked suddenly.

The subordinate retreated, the door was closed, and the second master Cao said in a panic: "Have you seen Sister Wan's appearance...... It's him...... It was he who came back. ”

……

In the alley not far from Cao's house.

Although Cao Ruwan's body has been removed, the blood on the ground is still there.

Xu Qinghuan walked all the way, and then squatted down not far away, there were a few ants on the ground moving things, and they were moving fine slag.

It's like a snack scum.

This situation seems familiar, because the phoenix likes to squat in the corner and steal food, and then it will attract a few ants.

But here it is surprising.

Could it be that someone is eating here while watching the tragic situation of Cao Ruwan's killing.
