Chapter 70: The Need for Rest (Second Watch)
The corners of Wang Yuanwai's mouth tugged reluctantly, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "The sisters of Tianci have spoiled this younger brother since they were children, and their husbands also love the house and Wu, and they love Tianci very much." β
Xie Jinlan nodded clearly: "In this way, Wang Yuanwai really has a good vision. The seven sons-in-law selected this one, each of them are a loving couple with Ling Yan. β
Speaking of this, the grief in Wang Yuanwai's heart was also diluted a little:
"It made the adults laugh. Every time they choose a husband for their daughter, Caomin and Cunjing will secretly investigate those fiancΓ©s in Lin'an County. Only those who finally pass the test can marry the daughter of the grass people. β
Xie Jinlan smiled and praised: "To have parents like Wang Yuanwai and Mrs. Wang is really a blessing that has been cultivated for several generations." β
Who doesn't like to hear good words? Wang Yuanwai was happy to hear it.
But soon, he didn't know what to think of, and sighed softly:
"If you want to say that their husband and wife are in love, the grass people know in their hearts that a large part of the reason for this is because of the grass people."
Xie Jinlan raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked knowingly: "Why did Wang Yuanwai say this?" β
Wang Yuanwai said: "The grass people are the richest people in Lin'an County. My sons-in-law, whether they are doing business at home or planning to gain fame, are indispensable to the connections and financial resources of the grass people. I just don't know how many pairs of these loving couples will be left after the death of Caomin and Humble Jing......"
Xie Jinlan smiled indifferently: "Maybe it's because the king is too careful, since they can pass the test of the outsider and his wife, presumably this character is reliable." β
Wang Yuanwai replied undeniably: "I hope." β
About a quarter of an hour later, Xie Jinlan and his entourage came to the outside of a courtyard called 'Tingfeng Courtyard'.
At the gate of the courtyard stood an old lady and a young girl.
The old lady saw Xie Jinlan and the others, and hurriedly pulled the little girl ring and knelt on the ground: "I've seen the county commander!" β
Xie Jinlan smiled: "Don't be polite, get up and talk back." β
The old lady slowly stood up, and the little girl ring behind her also got up and hung her head to the side.
Xie Jinlan gave Wang Yuanwai a look.
Wang Yuanwai bowed his head respectfully, and then looked at the old woman: "Mama Liu, can Mrs. be in the courtyard at this time?" β
Mama Liu said: "Yes, it's just that Mrs. ......"
Such a look of wanting to speak and stopping made Wang Yuanwai frown unhappily: "If you have something to say, why do you want to talk like this?" β
Mama Liu trembled, and didn't dare to hide it anymore: "Because of the murder of the young master of Tianci yesterday, Mrs. was devastated, and she is sick in bed at the moment, I am afraid that it is not suitable to see guests." β
Wang Yuanwai was taken aback, and his face showed a little concern: "Yesterday was fine, how could it suddenly be like this?" Have you ever called a doctor? β
Mama Liu leaned over and saluted: "I have already invited Dr. Zhou from Jishitang to come and see." Dr. Zhou said that Mrs. was depressed and needed to recuperate for a period of time, relax her mood, and stop moving. β
Wang Yuanwai suddenly looked at Xie Jinlan with some embarrassment: "My lord, look at this ......"
Xie Jinlan raised his hand indifferently and waved: "Since Mrs. Wang is sick, it is inconvenient for this official to disturb more." β
After a pause, he said again: "I just don't know, who is the one who assists in handling the affairs of the palace by Mrs. Wang's side on weekdays?" β
Wang Yuanwai bowed his hand to Xie Jinlan gratefully: "Thank you for your compassion." The one who assists Humble Jing on weekdays is Humble Jing's bridal maid Zeng Mama back then, but the adults want to send her to question? β
Xie Jinlan bowed slightly: "The official will go back to Qingfeng Courtyard first, and let Mama Zeng come to the official courtyard to talk back later." β
Then he turned around and left.
Wang Yuanwai claimed that it was, and then followed Xie Jinlan's pace, planning to give him a ride.
Xie Jinlan raised his hand to stop his movements:
"You don't have to send it outside, the official can leave on his own. Presumably, Wang Yuanwai must be thinking about Mrs. Wang's body at this moment, right? Let's get into the hospital and have a look. β
Wang Yuanwai paused for a moment, and then bowed: "Thank you, sir." β
Seeing the figures of Xie Jinlan and the others disappear around the corner, Wang Yuanwai turned around and entered the courtyard of Tingfeng.
Passing by the verandah, Xie Jinlan casually glanced in the direction of the garden, and then turned his steps and walked in the direction of the garden.
Mo Yan was slightly stunned: "My lord, aren't you going back to Qingfeng Courtyard?" β
Xie Jinlan turned his back to Mo Yan, raised his hand and waved lightly: "You go back first." If the official hasn't returned when Mama Zeng arrives at Qingfeng Courtyard, you will entertain you first. β
Mo Yan should claim yes, and then paused.
Looking at the direction in which Xie Jinlan left, Mo Yan murmured incomprehensibly: "My lord, are you going to the scene of the crime?" Didn't they already search it yesterday, what are you going to do there? β
Such doubts only passed through Mo Yan's mind for a moment.
By the time he raised his feet again and walked in the direction of Qingfeng Courtyard, he had already forgotten this question:
Adults have their own reasons for doing things, as long as they do what they are told to do and don't cause trouble to adults.
......
As soon as he entered the garden, Xie Jinlan saw Ruan Yezhen, who was wearing a bed robe, shuttling among the flowers, and her laughter was as crisp as a silver bell.
No wonder I didn't come to look for him, it turned out that I got carried away here.
Turning sideways, Ruan Yezhen saw Xie Jinlan standing at the entrance of the garden.
In the blink of an eye, she floated to Xie Jinlan and said with a smile: "Xie Jinlan, are you here to find me?" β
As if thinking of something, Ruan Yezhen's eyes lit up: "But there is progress in the case?" β
Xie Jinlan moved into the garden and shook his head slightly: "No." β
Ruan Yezhen suddenly showed a look of disappointment: "Then you came to me, what is the so-called matter?" β
Xie Jinlan walked to a big tree and leaned on her casually, looking at her quite funny: "Miss Ruan, what you said is a little hurtful. I can't just worry about your well? β
Ruan Yezhen's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she looked at Xie Jinlan with suspicion: "You are so kind?" β
Xie Jinlan decisively denied: "I won't." β
Ruan Yezhen instantly puffed out her cheeks and glared at the person in front of her: "Xie Jinlan, if you play me like this again, don't blame me for not helping you!" β
Xie Jinlan smiled playfully: "Oh? Is this true? β
Seeing Xie Jinlan's indifferent attitude, Ruan Yezhen was even more angry: "There is no lie!" β
Then he turned his back decisively, as if he didn't want to look at him again.
Xie Jinlan said leisurely: "That's fine. If I don't pay attention to this case, I will be accused of a few words, and it will not matter at all. It's a lot easier. β
Ruan Yezhen muttered dissatisfiedly: "It's threatening me like this again." β
Then he turned around and glared at Xie Jinlan unconvinced: "Okay, you won." What are you doing here? β
Xie Jinlan also knew the truth that it was enough to stop, smiled slightly, and turned to get down to business:
"You will follow me today, and after confirming who is in the outer mansion is an alibi, you will follow them again to see if they have any ulterior secrets."
