Chapter 167: Halfway to the Halfway Journey to Bite the Gold

"Wait a minute."

Just as Shui Wuze stretched out his hand, in the quiet hall, someone interrupted the slightly eerie and oppressive silence of this layer.

Everyone looked at the source of the voice, and when they saw the person clearly, Qu Youying was suddenly shocked and stood up from the chair.

She opened her mouth, but she didn't say it, because that person, that face, was Shui Junyu's.

But she wanted to go over, but was pulled by Mu Jingzhu.

The strength of Mu Jingzhu's hand was very heavy, and he pulled Qu Youying on the chair and sat down again.

"Jing Candle, she's—"

"Junyu?" I don't know who called out her name tremblingly, "You, you're not dead?" ā€

"yes, I'm not dead."

Qianxi's voice was hoarse, and her whole face was as white as paper, her clothes were crumpled and tattered, as if she had just escaped from a place of disaster, because her breath was very unsmooth, there were blood stains on the corners of her mouth, and there were small wounds on her face, neck, and hands.

"This can't be, how could you not be dead?"

Mizumi stared at her with incredulity in his eyes.

"Of course I can't die, how can I let you do what you want by pushing me into the fire so hard?"

"What?"

When the people present heard this, they all felt like they had fried the pot, and their eyes were fixed on the water mist.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Shui Wuze flatly denied it.

"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, you know best."

In the face of this kind of accusation, everyone will have a measuring stick in their hearts.

Seeing this, the third master couldn't help but scold, "Rebel, have you ever done it!" ā€

Shui Wuze shook his head and said, "How could I do such a mutilated thing?" Father, you have wronged me. ā€

"If it weren't for you, how would she think it was you? What the hell is going on? You make it clear to me! ā€

Shui Wuze's face turned slightly pale, his eyes subconsciously looked at Shui Wuyue's side, Shui Wuyue sat silent, his face was tense, and he couldn't tell whether he was nervous or frightened.

He closed his eyes, and was about to speak, but he heard Shui Linze suddenly say, "Third uncle, I think there may be a misunderstanding in this matter. After all, when Miss Qu conducted the autopsy at that time, she determined that the deceased was Junyu, if this person was Junyu, then who was the body that was burned to death at that time? ā€

When he said this, he got up and saluted the old lady before continuing, "Grandma, when the grandson counted the number of people in the house afterwards, the number was right, that is to say, the one who died was indeed a young lady and a slave, if Junyu did not die, then who would die?" If there is an extra person in the house, then how can there be so many more people for so long, and we haven't found out? It also happens to be a person about the same size as Junyu. ā€

Shui Linze's words seemed to be helping Shui Wuze, but after hearing it, Qu Youying felt that he might be using this to provoke something.

Her eyes fell on Shui Wuyue's body opposite, and the "truth" she said that day was still in her ears, but at this time her face was already pale, her hands were clasped tightly together, and she was sitting like pins and needles.

"Isn't she telling the truth?"

Qu Youying was a little unsure, she habitually looked at Mu Jingzhu beside her, but Mu Jingzhu didn't say a word since she sat here today, as if it was just a wood carving.

But Qu Youying believes that his heart should be very clear.

But now is not the time to ask this, she can only hold back the doubts in her heart and continue to look down.

"Maybe some family members have never left, or they have left and suddenly come back, but they have been knocked unconscious and hidden somewhere in the house, waiting for this fire to come?"

Jiang Tong opened his mouth quietly, the fan in his hand was casual, and he didn't look serious at all, but smiled, looking like he was watching a good show at any time.

"That's what the prince said." Shui Linze froze at Jiang Tong, but quickly continued with the previous sentence, "But I haven't heard of it in the past few days, whose family is missing?" ā€

As if to cater to his words, not long after he finished speaking, the butler outside came in a hurry, but when he saw so many people gathered here, he also knew that there were some things that could not be done too much, so he only intended to reveal the matter quietly.

How did he know, not far from the door, there was a crying father and mother's voice rushing in outside.

The housekeeper wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

The man rushed into the courtyard like crazy, all the way to the hall.

Qu Youying was startled by this cry, and in the blink of an eye, she saw a crazy woman rushing in from outside and hitting a thousand rhinos.

Qianxi stumbled under her feet, almost didn't stand firm, and was so anxious that Qu Youying wanted to help her, but was stopped by Mu Jingzhu again.

Today, Mu Jingzhu made it clear that he didn't want her to attract any attention, so he was very strict with her.

Qu Youying also noticed this, so she had to give up, and she heard King Yi suddenly say, "Who is coming?" ā€

"Old lady, two princes, I am Aunt Sun of Qufu in Xiangling Town. I beg the prince to save my daughter, please save my daughter, my daughter has been taken captive. ā€

As soon as these words came out, the most surprising was Qu Youying.

She tilted her head to look at the scruffy woman, and could see her face in her messy hair.

"Erniang? Didn't you go back? ā€

"Qu Youying?" When Aunt Sun saw Qu Youying, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes, but at the moment her daughter's safety was the most important thing, so she couldn't care about anything, turned to face Qu Youying and said, "Quick, don't you have a good relationship with King Ji?" Ask him to save your sister. Kira was taken captive, and she was gone, gone. ā€

"Erniang, don't worry, if you have anything to say, speak slowly, if you can't say it clearly, how can we help you?"

No one expected that today's events would come out one after another, the head of the family was not elected, but "Shui Junyu" came back from the dead, and even Aunt Sun, who was supposed to leave Shui Mansion, came back again.

Is it all a coincidence?

"Yes, Aunt Sun, you might as well tell me what happened, don't worry, this king will make decisions for you."

Jiang Tong acted as a good person, and as soon as these words came out, Aunt Sun kowtowed again and again to thank her, and then slowly said everything that happened on the road.

She persuaded Qu Qiluo all the way to go back first, but not long after leaving Mist City, the carriage was hijacked, and the other party looked like a bandit, and said that she wanted to take Qu Qiluo back to be the wife of the village.

injured Aunt Sun, and then dragged Qu Qiluo away and took the carriage away.

Aunt Sun loved her daughter so much that she had to rush back for help.

Someone listened and asked, "There haven't been any bandits inside and outside the Water Mist City in these years, could you be mistaken?" ā€

"How is that possible? They all said that they wanted to take Qiluo away to be the lady of the village, not a bandit! ā€

Aunt Sun was very dissatisfied, but remembered that she was begging someone to do something now, so she had to lower her voice first, "I am a mother-in-law, so I can only quickly flee back, I just hope that you will see the face of Qufu and help me save my daughter." ā€

"Erniang, it only takes half a day to go out from Water Mist City to the next town, and you were robbed before you got to the next stop, so even if you come back on foot, it won't take a day, how can you be so depressed?"

What do you mean by that? Do you mean I'm lying? I told you I was injured and I didn't know when I woke up. I haven't suffered anything since I was a child, and after walking so much, can't I be down? ā€

Aunt Sun's scolding is to sell all her upbringing.

She always likes to pretend to be noble when she is outside on weekdays, although she is a concubine in Qufu, but at least she has to get the etiquette up outside.

But at this time, maybe it was really a woman's heart, and she actually exposed her true nature.

So for a while, her eyes wandered, and she was very embarrassed.

"Erniang, I didn't mean that, I-"

"I don't care!" Aunt Sun interrupted Qu Youying's words, revealing her true nature, and raised her voice, "Anyway, it was Shuifu who drove us away at that time, and now Qiluo has been kidnapped outside Shuiwu City, and Shuifu must pay a certain amount of responsibility for this matter, otherwise my lord is not a vegetarian." ā€

"Shame."

Qu Youying covered her forehead with one hand and spit out these two words in a low voice, she remembered that her father often said that the person who lost the face of Qu Mansion must be her, but if her father saw Aunt Sun at this time, I don't know how to feel?

Even the old lady can't seem to stand it anymore.

She cleared her throat and said, "Sun, you go down to rest first, and the Shui Mansion will give you an explanation for this matter." She said, and said to Shui Linze, "Linze, when the time comes, you will take someone to the place where the accident happened, look around, and ask questions until you find the person." ā€

"Yes."

Aunt Sun saw that Shui Linze received the order, but she didn't act, and said a little unhappily, "Why don't you go yet?" ā€

"Aunt Sun, now that the Shuifu is choosing the head of the family, when this matter is over, I will definitely go, why don't you go and rest first?"

"Is it the head of the family or my daughter's life that matters? Human life is at stake, how can you talk like that. No, you have to come with me right away, go quickly. ā€

Aunt Sun said that she was about to step forward to pull someone, but she didn't know that Shui Linze was afraid of the woman approaching, so she dodged away. Her face was furious, and she rushed over like a shrew.

So one chased, one ran, the hall was not big, and the scene was very chaotic for a while.

Qu Youying didn't want to watch it at all, she had been in trouble so many times since she was a child, and she never felt so ashamed, this Aunt Sun was only afraid that her brain was arched by a pig.

How do you know, suddenly someone exclaimed, "Be careful", and before Qu Youying could put down his hand, he heard the sound of something falling to the ground.

She lowered her hand and saw that in the middle of the hall, there were three people standing.

One is Shui Wuze, he reached out to hold Shui Linze's hand, and on the opposite side was Aunt Sun, as if he was avoiding Aunt Sun's approach.

And beside Aunt Sun, the box placed on the table had fallen to the ground, and the lid of the box had been opened.

The box was so important that it was beaten to the ground at will, and this time, the old lady's face was very bad.

She slapped the table angrily, "What nonsense! Come on, take this Sun family down and take care of it strictly! ā€

"Yes."

The housekeeper outside was also stunned, and after listening to the old lady's instructions, he immediately waved a few subordinates behind him, and stepped forward to pull away the noisy Aunt Sun.

As soon as she left, the scene was quiet for a while.

"Hey, this woman, she's crazy, she's really noisy."

It seems like a joke, but no one can laugh out loud.

Jiang Tong glanced at everyone, a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes, he put away his fan, pointed to the box on the ground and said, "Then what should I do about this?" ā€

Everyone looked at the box on the ground, and the box was open, and the contents of it also rolled to the ground, a scroll that had been rolled up.

Nothing beyond that.

But at that time, Shui Putomi Ze and Shui Lin Ze didn't take this scroll out of it, why?
