XXXVIII. The cause of death is still unknown

Let Liu Yunqi stay in her own house, Meng Nanjun does have her plans, but this plan is different from what she and Liu Yunqi said.

After all, she broke Liu Yunqi in order to find a handle to get rid of Zhou Xu, not just to test him as she said before.

Fortunately, after getting along for so many years, although Liu Yunqi will not obey her words, she also believes that she will not harm herself, so she simply let her go for the time being.

But what Meng Nanjun didn't expect was that she hadn't figured out how to determine the cause of death of the female ghost who had been obsessed with Zhou Xu, but the people in the family came over first.

Looking at the young girl in front of her, Meng Nanjun glanced her up and down, and felt that she was not a person as difficult as Xu Wanzhou, so she was not ready to drive people out.

After all, one Xu Yan and one Xu Wanzhou made him not have a very good impression of the Xu family.

"Since you have come to my house, you should also know my identity, so I will not introduce much. But I've never seen you, so let's tell me what your relationship is with the Xu family. ”

When the girl heard this, she first bowed slightly to her, and then said softly: "My name is Xu Duqing, and I am the first child born by Master Xu outside, but because of the concubine, I was not recognized by the Xu family." ”

The position of the concubine is not high in these years, and a family like the Xu family should not be willing to recognize a concubine. Meng Nanjun didn't doubt this, just nodded at her and motioned for her to continue.

Xu Duqing's expression on her face remained unchanged, but she continued according to her words: "I came here today, mainly to ask my wife to check on my sister's affairs back then. ”

Hearing her mention "sister", Meng Nanjun knew that what she said should be Xu Yan, after all, Xu Wanzhou looked younger than her, and the Xu family was recognized as only two daughters, and all she could think of was Xu Yan.

If it was something else, Meng Nanjun would probably not pay attention to it, knowing that the first thing she had to solve now was Liu Yunqi's matter, and everything else could be ignored for the time being.

However, Xu Yan is also one of the people involved in this matter, Meng Nanjun naturally can't let it go, and even asked: "I heard that the eldest lady of the Xu family fell into the river and died a few years ago, is there another hidden reason for this matter?" ”

Xu Duqing's eyebrows and eyes lowered, as if she was a little sad, "If it is really as simple as falling into the river and dying, why don't you even let her enter the ancestral grave at home?" It's nothing more than that she felt that she lost her body at a young age and lost the face of their Xu family. But she was just deceived and died innocently, but she still had to be treated like this by the people closest to her, which was pitiful. ”

"Then do you know why she died in vain?"

As soon as Meng Nanjun asked this sentence, he felt that he was asking knowingly, after all, if Xu Duqing knew how Xu Yan died, she would not say much to let herself find out what happened back then.

Who knew that this idea had just come to mind, and Xu Duqing said to her: "Although I don't know the exact, this matter must be inseparable from the Xu family." ”

Originally, there were only a few people involved, and Meng Nanjun had always speculated that Xu Yan's death was related to Zhou Xu, but now Xu Duqing mentioned that this matter was related to the Xu family, which always made her feel that the truth of the matter was becoming more and more confusing.

"Since you said that someone in the Xu family killed Xu Yan, why did you tell me about it? You must know that I am not your Xu family, once I know about this matter, I am afraid it will be detrimental to your Xu family. ”

"So what?" Xu Duqing's raised eyes were red and full of hatred, which made Meng Nanjun frown for a while, but she didn't care for a moment before she answered, "I am a concubine, and I have never experienced the slightest bit of the Xu family's goodness, even if I left this life, it was my sister who rescued me from the hands of human traffickers in the first place, so that I escaped such a big disaster." Now that she has died with hatred, how can I sit idly by? ”

The sentence added later was indeed a good explanation of the deep hatred in her eyes, but Meng Nanjun always felt that this matter would not be so simple, so she had an extra heart for her.

"But I'm still a little curious about why you found me."

Xu Duqing didn't hesitate at all, and replied directly: "Mrs. should have been to Muhua Temple a few days ago. ”

Meng Nanjun didn't hide it, nodded and said, "It's true that I've been there." ”

"Wanzhou often goes to Muhua Temple to see an elder, and I know a little about this, so I also went there once two days ago. The elder was no longer in the temple, but a disciple went to say that the elder intended to hand over the matter to his wife. ”

Hearing her say this, Meng Nanjun was about to roll her eyes in person, after all, even now she didn't say very clearly that she would help with this matter, but the elder not only instructed her disciple, but also told people about this matter casually, wouldn't she want to push her to the forefront of this matter?

But if you think about what you said before, maybe you did agree to help.

"What is your relationship with Miss Xu?" Meng Nanjun thought about it and asked more deeply.

Xu Weiqing replied truthfully: "The relationship between the three of us sisters has always been close. ”

"Then you might as well ask the second lady after you go back, if you know anything else about this matter, remember to tell me again......"

Before he finished speaking, the originally closed door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, Meng Nanjun looked over unhappily, only to see Xu Wanzhou coming over violently, and grabbed Xu Duqing's wrist.

"They all said that I would find out about this, what did you come to ask her for?" Xu Duqing ignored Meng Nanjun, but opened her mouth to ask Xu Duqing first.

But the latter lowered her eyes but didn't want to say anything, so she just pulled herself away.

"You don't want to know how you died?" Meng Nanjun asked suddenly.

Xu Wanzhou's steps stopped slightly, and after a while, she turned around and glared at her, "What does my family's affairs have to do with you?" Mrs. Dingnanhou should worry more about Gufu, after all, she has made a fuss since last night, saying that she has found Dingnanhou's body. Your husband is dead, and you still have the heart to meddle with other people's affairs. ”

Meng Nanjun was slightly stunned when she heard this, and after a while, Xu Wanzhou pulled Xu Duqing and left.

But she has mixed feelings in her heart.

If you want to say how sad it is, in fact, he is just an unknown masked person, and the news of his death is not so unacceptable. But if you don't feel sad at all......

How can such a handsome man die so much?

After thinking about it for a long time, Meng Nanjun could only summon Song Hanshuang and asked her to go out to inquire about Dingnanhou.

Song Hanshuang responded, so he went out, Meng Nanjun was not idle, and after a little care, he called Lishu and Liu Yunqi and asked them to go to Muhua Temple with him.

It was still early, and there were not many people who came to Muhua Temple to pray for blessings, and Meng Nanjun was straight to the point and said that he wanted to see Jingming, and soon someone went to find him.

Jingming was sweeping the yard at the time, and when he heard that someone had come to him on purpose, he was a little strange, but when he asked about the general appearance of the person, Jingming was overjoyed and rushed over with a broom.

So when Meng Nanjun saw him, the broom in his hand had not been put down, and with the positive color on his face, it really made people laugh.

"But the donor has figured it out?" Jingming asked.

Meng Nanjun also wanted to tease him, and as soon as he raised his eyebrows, he asked: "How do you know that I came over today and didn't completely break off my relationship with you?" ”

When Jing Ming heard her say this, his face also fell, "The donor doesn't have to come here deliberately, after all, you have made it very clear that day, no matter how much Xiao San cares about this matter, he will definitely not be able to do what it is difficult for a strong man." ”

Seeing him like this, Meng Nanjun didn't have the idea of continuing to be amused, sighed slightly, and put on a joke on his face.

"How much does the little master know about the Xu family's concubine, Xu Duqing?"

Jingming didn't expect her to ask like this, and after thinking about it carefully, he replied: "I've seen her before, but I've heard the elder mention her, saying that she is a person who can't help herself but still has good thoughts, what is the donor asking for?" ”

Hearing him say that the elder still had such an evaluation of Xu Duqing, Meng Nanjun was a little relieved in the face of her, so she asked again: "Xu Duqing came to the house to find me today, saying that Xu Yan's death was inseparable from the Xu family, did the elder mention this?" ”

Jingming could only shake his head, "The elder has not come down the mountain for many years, and all I want to hear about the affairs of the Xu family is the one-sided words of the second young sister of the Xu family, if she doesn't mention it, the elder won't know, and the little monk will naturally have no way of knowing." ”

Hearing this, Meng Nanjun knew that she couldn't ask, after all, Xu Wanzhou's temperament was not so simple, she hid some things in her heart, and she wouldn't talk about it with outsiders, and the elders probably didn't know that.

What's more, the person has already driven the crane west, and even if there is a clue, it is estimated that it will be broken with him.

After asking so much, Jingming also had a little conjecture in his heart, seeing that Meng Nanjun didn't know what to think, in short, he fell into deep thought, so he asked carefully: "Madame, but you decided to help?" ”

Meng Nanjun nodded, "I told the little master before that I have a friend who is also involved, and it is impossible for me not to save her." And since helping her must involve the old affairs of the Xu family, I am also willing to help to the end. It's just that there is one more point that needs to be explained to the little master. ”

Seeing that she was willing to help, Jingming was already happy in his heart, but when he heard that there were conditions, he listened with bated breath.

"It is understandable that Xu Yan's death involves the Xu family, but I also think that the Gu Mansion is also a little strange. If the little master can find me a backer, I will investigate this matter to the end, how about it? ”

After listening to her request, Jingming's face was full of joy. He wanted to say that Meng Nanjun himself has such a big backer as Gu Xiao, and whether it is the Xu family or the Gu family, there is no need to care so much.

But after thinking about it carefully, there are some things that need to be concealed now, and Jingming can only hold those words in his heart, and said to her: "The little monk will talk about this matter and listen to the people above, and if there is a reply after tomorrow, the little monk will go to the door to find his wife." ”
