In fact, it didn't have much hard work, and the boredom at the beginning happened to make me. His words were not finished, but Xu Chu understood it very well in his heart.

Probably, if he didn't have the calm and wise temperament that he had shaped at that time, he would have been afraid of the trip to Yunnan, and it would be difficult for him to return to fame.

Originally, Xu Chu wanted to sigh with royal affection, but when he thought of the only three remaining princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The original eldest prince was the crown prince, and it was a matter of national capital, so he naturally couldn't easily get into danger. And the second prince, King Qi, fought in the northern frontier, and was stationed at the border all the year round, so naturally he could not be easily transferred back.

Only Xiao Qinglang, who has just passed the year of bundling his hair, is the most suitable candidate.

As a result, the resentment that rose slightly in my heart could no longer be gathered. As Xiao Qinglang said, he is in a high position, so he naturally has to take on the corresponding responsibilities. Even if you know that the trip to Yunnan is mostly bad and unlucky............

She didn't know if Xiao Qinglang would be desolate and worried when she was ordered to be in danger, but now she just thinks of the dangers he has encountered. Her heart could not be calm, as worried and annoyed as she was for her father, whose whereabouts were unknown. Worried about the possible crisis, she was annoyed that she was not by her side when the two of them were in danger.

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Chu took the initiative to put his bony hand on his cheek for the first time, and the warm and delicate touch made Xiao Qinglang's heart flutter, and the bottom of his eyes was faintly warm.

"I'll try to accompany you in the future." Although I don't know how far I can go in the future, I don't know what I will encounter. However, she was willing to try her best.

Xiao Qinglang's fingers turned slightly, and his skin touched, as if his blood was about to blend. The soft cheeks, lingering between his fingers, were like the delicate petals of the early morning, and like the fine moonlight yarn, which made him can't help but be in a trance. There was even a moment when he had a mysterious desire to bring people back to the capital at all costs.

As his breathing began to be difficult, Xu Chu's cheeks became hotter and hotter.

She is not an ignorant girl who is ignorant of the world, so she can naturally see the hidden emotions in his eyes. Just as the two of them were getting closer and closer, and even their snorts were entangled, she slowly closed her eyes, leaving only a pair of long eyelashes trembling slightly.

Such an inviting appearance made Xiao Qinglang, who was barely restrained, suddenly feel hot. A strange hope and desire emanated from his bones, and then spread all over his limbs, making his whole body excited.

The last time he put a kiss on Xu Chu's forehead, he cherished her in his heart, loved her, and was afraid of her anxiety. The second time, although I kissed it with the power of medicine, I still felt a little lost in my heart. Until last night, in the beautiful scenery of the good day, the two were entangled from the heart. Which Cheng thought that he was just emotional, but he was broken by Mingzhu, and when the two of them left, he couldn't find a chance to kiss Fangze.

And now, after she said that she was willing to accompany her, how could he still suppress this craze?

Xiao Qinglang's hands slid slightly, tucked together on her shoulders, and finally leaned down to look at her pale pink lips with only a thin layer of lip grease.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped suddenly, if it weren't for Xiao Qinglang's quick movements, he was afraid that Xu Chu would have to crash back into the car wall.

He looked nervous and gathered Xu Chu together, and asked in a low voice, "Did you touch it?" ”

Xu Chu shook his head, and his eyes glanced at Wei Shang a little uncomfortably. The person who was indifferent just now was a little ashamed at this time, and he refused to look at Xiao Qinglang again.

Xiao Qinglang saw that she didn't touch her, just blindly avoiding his gaze, and couldn't help but smile lightly. He glanced at the back of his head that had been thrown at him by the man who had returned to his place and tried to straighten his back, and his eyebrows relaxed.

So, the person who was still anxious just now asked aloud outside in a good mood, "What's wrong?" ”

"Childe, it's the housekeeper of the Song Mansion who is blocking the way." Almost the moment he spoke, Wei Guang outside came over and paid his respects.

"What?" is concise and to the point, just like a man who has always been gentle and elegant in front of Xu Chu, just an illusion of others.

"Steward Song said that Lord Song asked the son to enter the house as soon as possible."

Originally, a few of them did go to the Song Mansion, but it was only because they didn't send the worship post in advance that Steward Song blocked the road and spread the word.

But at this time, he was in such a hurry............ It seems that something happened to the Song family.

Xu Chu's heart chuckled, and he subconsciously looked back at Xiao Qinglang. saw Xiao Qinglang, and his face became cold, as if he had a premonition.

"Aunt Liu............" The two of them said in unison. Obviously, they thought of going together.

The murderer originally regarded Aunt Liu as a scapegoat, so before the case is found on her, there will definitely be a so-called suicide drama of fear of crime.

It was they who were negligent, thinking that as long as Aunt Liu was proven innocent, the murderer would stop, at least he would not be on the cusp of murder.

The two of them looked solemn, and the charming and ambiguous atmosphere just now suddenly became cold.

"If it is really Aunt Liu who was killed, then there are two possibilities. First, Song Derong did not spread the news of Aunt Liu's clearance, and there was no murderer and the murderer's accomplices among the people present at the time. The second is that the murderer is suspicious and wants to divert his attention. Xu Chu sighed a little distressedly, frowned and muttered, "Who is it?" ”

Xiao Qinglang saw that she was in a daze, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Yesterday, when we checked the hands of the ladies and maidservants of the Song Mansion, only the old lady Song and Mrs. Song made a mistake. And now, according to your inference just now, the former situation is in line with Mrs. Song. In the latter, Mrs. Song is difficult to get rid of suspicion. ”

However, Mrs. Song's nails were not smeared with Kodan, and there were no signs of breakage. I asked Mingzhu, even if the Kodan is removed, it is impossible to be directly removed cleanly and without leaving a trace. ”

"Do you remember when you looked at the scene, you speculated that the murderers were two people?" Xiao Qinglang's voice was calm, with the power to soothe people's hearts, and slowly helped Xu Chu reorganize his thoughts.

"You mean, Old Madam Song and Madam Song have joined forces?" Xu Chu was stunned for a moment, but when she thought of her guess, she felt that the eldest lady of the Song family was not Mrs. Song's biological daughter, and she felt that if Mrs. Song and Mrs. Song committed the crime together, it seemed that it was not impossible.

It's just that if that's the case, it doesn't seem to make sense. Even if the two of them killed people for some reason, how could they explain Mrs. Song's madness, and how could she let herself and Mrs. Song fall into such a situation?

Does this mean that she and Mrs. Song's illness were caused by herself?

"Let's go to the Song Mansion first, after all, we don't know what happened to the Song family now. Perhaps, Aunt Liu was not killed, and the guess just now was just that you and I were too careful. ”

When Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu re-entered the Song Mansion, Song Derong was pacing back and forth in the courtyard with a sad and irritated face. When he saw that Steward Song was coming, he breathed a sigh of relief, greeted him, and said straight to the point: "Aunt Liu died, hanged herself, and left a confession, saying that she was favored because she was not angry with Aunt Yang, and then killed people." ”

When Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu heard this, they glanced at each other, and their expressions became solemn.

As he spoke, he handed the confession he found from Aunt Liu's room to Xiao Qinglang.

Xiao Qinglang glanced at ten lines, and then handed it to Xu Chu.

The confession was clear to herself, and between the lines was her remorse for knowing her sin, and finally she pressed her finger prints, just like a yamen confession.

"Have you ever moved Aunt Liu's body?"

"No, I didn't." Song Derong felt unlucky in his heart, and his tone was naturally not very polite.

Because Aunt Liu's self-hanging had just been discovered, he hadn't had time to let people clean it up.

"Can we take a look first?"

Aunt Liu's room is in the southwest of the Song Mansion, although it is not elegant, it is also an independent courtyard.

When he was bypassing the garden, Xu Chu happened to meet Feng'er who came out of the flower room. Looking at her expression, she seemed to be very annoyed, but the maid on the side said, "Sister Feng'er, why did you say that the flower room suddenly caught fire." ”

"Who knows, the brazier in the flower room was originally burned at night, but who knew that it was a night yesterday. Xu was in the evening when the wind blew off the top straw mat and burned it. Feng'er's face was full of anxiety, and she said in a loud voice, "Madame's favorite pots of flowers are about to bloom, if you know that the flower house is in trouble, wouldn't you be distressed to death." ”

"Isn't it, yesterday I saw my wife personally loosen the soil for those flowers and plants, and my face was very happy. Even took the old lady to go crazy and made a fuss in the house, but she didn't follow the hurry. I don't know, is this a warning from God............"

"Bah, what are you talking nonsense, beware of Madame hearing it, and be worried." Although Feng'er is naïve, she is not completely heartless. Madame treats her well, and she naturally has to reciprocate a thing or two.

As she was talking, she saw Xu Chu and a few people coming. At that moment, he bowed first, tilted his head and wondered: "Boy, where is this going?" ”

Xu Chu glanced at her and said, "Something happened to Aunt Liu in the house, we need to go and take a look." ”

When she said this, it made Feng'er and the little maid look at each other.

"Why, haven't you heard?"

"Not really. In the first half of last night, the old lady fell ill again and made a fuss for a long time. Then the flower room was set up, and I knew that Madame had always come to see those flowers and plants, so she took people to pounce for a long time. No, until now, I can pull out so many pots of still alive peonies. Feng'er sighed and complained a few more words.

Xu Chu's eyes swept over the burned flower room where the prototype could not be seen, whispered a few words of comfort, and then planned to leave. At this time, Mrs. Song brought someone over, and when she saw that the flower house had already collapsed, she immediately felt distressed.

However, when she saw that Xu Chu and the others had something to do, she didn't show any emotion, so she comforted Feng'er very decently. Then asked Xu Chu a few words, and asked people to lead the way to Aunt Liu's yard.

Xu Chu looked at Mrs. Song with a depressed expression, his eyes swept over her hands that were hidden in his sleeves, and he felt a little strange in his heart. She had met Mrs. Song several times, and had never seen her use warm sleeves because she was afraid of the cold, even on a snowy night in Lotus Villa, she was seen with her hands crossed and dignified in front of her abdomen.

Her gaze stayed on Mrs. Song's somewhat pale lips, hesitated for a moment, and advised, "If Madame is unwell, it is better to go back and rest early." Here, let the next person take care of it. ”

Mrs. Song nodded tiredly, thanked her head, and took Feng'er away first.

When the group arrived at Aunt Liu's residence, Xu Chu looked at the messy footsteps in the courtyard, and his heart was slightly cold. She originally thought that if it rained last night, she might be able to extract footprints. Unexpectedly, this time I encountered the situation of Lotus Villa again, even though the body was not moved, the scene was still destroyed.
