"So, do you think that the reason why those people can recite the poems written by your young lady is to read the calligraphy and paintings that your young lady lost?" Chu Yunfei asked, no matter what, he had to know Shu'er's true opinion. She was the closest person to Miss Whelan during her lifetime, so only she could know Whelan best. Even if she didn't know the truth about Whelan's death, she could at least guess why such a tragedy had happened.

Shu'er's expression was a little hesitant, and after a while, he said, "Actually, this is the only way to explain clearly, isn't it?" Except for that time, no outsiders could see the calligraphy and paintings of our young lady. But don't adults think it's strange? Since he went to Feng's house to be a thief and didn't steal anything, why did he steal our young lady's calligraphy and paintings? And...... My young lady's calligraphy and paintings are all counted, and I have marked each calligraphy and painting in an inconspicuous place. Otherwise, it is unlikely to be found. ”

Chu Yunfei nodded, and he fell into deep thought. Indeed, all situations seem normal when viewed separately. Although Feng Huilan rarely goes out, she is indeed a talented and beautiful woman. Maybe because she was born in a wealthy family, she looks down on fame and fortune, so I'm afraid that only a few people who admire her have been lucky enough to see the beauty of the style. The book's explanation seems reasonable, but there are also irrationalities in it. He shook his head slightly, knowing in his heart that no matter what those who were hiding in the shadows thought, things had taken a subtle turn.

"Are there any of those people who are particularly close to your young lady? Or is it someone who has a lot of correspondence? If you think about it, you must not hide anything from me anymore. Chu Yunfei looked at the book very seriously. It's time to give her a knock and tell her the truth.

Shu'er hesitated for a long time before he said with some embarrassment: "Actually...... Is there someone...... It is true that there are people who have exchanged letters with the young lady. But I don't know who it is, not even my young lady. I only know that my young lady said that the person wrote a beautiful little seal, and he should have worked calligraphy. And then there's ...... After reading the letters, my young lady would burn them every time, but she would never write a reply. I once secretly glanced at those words, which I didn't know much, except that in the lower left corner, there was a seal that looked like a phoenix. In addition to these, our young lady will never have correspondence with outsiders, let alone do anything out of the ordinary. I wonder if there might be something strange about this, or rather, could it be that someone has a heart? ”

"Okay. You stayed in that little courtyard for the past few days, and you didn't do anything, and you couldn't see anyone. I think that someone will come out when the time comes. A faint smile appeared on Chu Yunfei's face.

Chu Yunfei naturally had his own plans, and after he made up his mind, he came to the Xiao family alone. He wanted to meet the cheerful Mrs. Xiao again, according to legend, she was also a talented woman, but after marrying Xiao Zhenfu, she seemed to put most of her mind on her husband.

This is the first time Chu Yunfei has come to Xiao Zhenfu's house, I heard that this house is also Li Tingfang's dowry, when Lord Li married his daughter, he wanted his daughter to be closer to him, and specially purchased this house. The courtyard of the two entrances, although not large, is very compatible with Xiao Zhenfu's identity. Xiao Zhenfu is a lucky man, because most of his fellow Jinshi were sent to local places for training, and he not only stayed in the capital, but also owned such a big house, all of which was naturally inseparable from his marriage. Therefore, it can also be seen how much the former servant of the ministry values his son-in-law.

"Why did Gongzi Chu come to the cold house with such a good heart? My father-in-law is not at home, and he is busy on weekdays, so I am afraid that he will not be able to come back until dusk. Li Tingfang quickly greeted him personally. After all, she is a female dependent, and it is naturally inconvenient to see male guests in the inner house.

Chu Yunfei narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "I was passing by here, and I suddenly remembered my sister-in-law, so I came here to have a look." I don't know if it's inconvenient to talk to my sister-in-law? ”

"That'...... All right. Let's sit inside for a while. I wonder what Childe wants to know? Li Tingfang doesn't seem to be the same as the last time I saw her, and she has completely lost her enthusiasm from last time.

"Sister-in-law, have you been sad lately?" Chu Yunfei didn't answer her question directly, but asked very calmly, although Li Tingfang covered it up well, her eyes were still red, as if she had just cried.

Li Tingfang nodded a little embarrassedly, sighed and said, "What else can there be?" It's not for the sake of the Xiao family's heirs. As you can see, since I married Xianggong, I haven't been able to give birth to a boy and a half girl for Xianggong. Although Xianggong doesn't care, I ...... I always feel very sorry for my husband......"

"Oh. No wonder I see my sister-in-law's preoccupied appearance. Unexpectedly, Li Tingfang did not shy away from saying such things, which made Chu Yunfei feel a little uncomfortable. He paused hesitantly, and then said with a smile: "Lord Xiao is very respectful to his sister-in-law on weekdays, and having children is only a matter of time or time, so why should my sister-in-law be anxious?" ”

"You haven't gotten married yet, so you won't understand. Alas, I still won't tell you this. It seems that there has been a lot of turmoil in the capital recently? Why did Childe come here at leisure? Those cases already have eyebrows? Li Tingfang raised her eyebrows, and at the same time instructed her maid to make tea and prepare snacks.

Chu Yunfei sat down very leisurely, not looking like he was in a hurry to leave. After a while, he shook his head and said, "No, where will it be so fast?" I'm not an immortal, how can I find out the case so quickly? It's because I don't have eyebrows that I want to come here to be lazy. I don't know what my sister-in-law is busy with on weekdays? Who are the friends who are here? ”

"You say me?" Li Tingfang laughed, she pointed to the couch under the west window, with a basket on it, "What else can you do, isn't it just doing some needlework to kill your days?" Occasionally, a neighbor's female companion would come and walk around. We women can't compare with you, what you can do, we women are not qualified to do. It is precisely because of this that I have to pin all my hopes on Xianggong, hoping that he will get ahead. ”

"Now Lord Xiao has made a name for himself in the capital, hasn't he? It won't take long to soar. Why should my sister-in-law be too anxious? Chu Yunfei said with a little hesitation.
