Chapter 30: A Guest Comes
"Bang!"
Before the boy touched Zhiyue, he was blocked by the guards behind Zhiyue.
"Ahh
The boy clutched his head and staggered back.
"You're unfilialβyes...... It's you? β
A bearded man rushed out of the house, holding a burning stick, and was stunned when he saw Zhiyue and the others.
Immediately afterwards, another woman with a sallow complexion, watching a woman in her early forties rush out, and when she saw Zhiyue, she was also stunned: "You...... Oh no, Miss Zhiyue, you ...... How did it come? β
When speaking, the woman lowered her eyebrows and lowered her head, cautiously.
Last night, Zhiyue came to ask for clothes, but she remembered that Zhiyue was Miss Hou's personal maidservant, and she couldn't afford to mess with her!
On the side, when the young man saw this battle, he also knew that the situation was wrong, so he obediently stood beside him, but a pair of eyes wandered around Zhiyue and the guards, as if he was guessing their identities.
When Zhiyue came last night, she hadn't seen this young man, but she could guess from the conversation just now that this was Qingyao's younger brother.
"I'm here today for Qingyao's business." Zhiyue spoke to Qingyao's parents.
Qingyao Niang shook her kiss and said with a sad face: "Miss Zhiyue, we didn't report it, really!" You also said that as long as we shut up, we will spare Qingyao for stealing clothes......"
It can't be a reversal, right?
"I'm not here for this."
Zhiyue said lightly: "I had some secrets yesterday, and I didn't tell you the truth, that dress is not my young lady's." β
Qingyao's parents widened their eyes.
"But, it's not Qingyao's."
Zhiyue's words changed: "That's Miss Qingyao, Miss Cai Yuping's clothes." β
Qingyao's father and mother suddenly turned off the fire, and the feelings were still stolen!
I knew that as soon as they got the clothes, they should wash them and find a way to sell them, or throw them away!
Instead of disgusted with the clothes being worn, there were tea stains on them, and they couldn't sell for a few pennies, so they simply stayed at home.
Now, I've been caught stealing something!
"You live in the city, you should know what happened to my young lady and the banquet a few days ago, right?" Zhiyue Road.
"Know, know......" Qingyao's father nodded honestly, but she didn't know the purpose of Zhiyue's question.
"Today, it has been ascertained that the murderer who pushed Miss Chuxuan into the water is not my young lady, but someone else." Zhiyue said again.
When the words fell, Qingyao's father and mother had a bad premonition in their hearts, "Miss Zhiyue, you ......"
"What do you mean?!"
On the side, the young man also heard that something was wrong, and glared at Zhiyue: "I don't want to say that the person who pushed Chu Xuan into the water is my sister, right?!" β
"The evidence is overwhelming."
Zhiyue said lightly: "The clothes that I took from your house were worn by Ri Qing Yao." β
"This ...... How is this possible?! Qing Yaoniang's legs were weak.
"the kid!" Qingyao's father hurriedly supported Qingyao's mother.
"You're lying! You must be using my sister as a substitute for the dead! β
The young man jumped to his feet, and rushed towards Zhiyue angrily with red eyes, "My sister is just a maid, how can she harm a young lady she doesn't know?!" β
The guard stopped the boy and pinned his hand behind his back.
Zhiyue stepped forward and motioned for the guards to let go.
The guard hesitated, but then let go and stepped back.
"Yes, your sister has no reason to harm Miss Chu Xuan."
Zhiyue approached the young man and said in a low voice: "But you also said that she is a maid, and the maid has to listen to the master, doesn't she?" β
The boy's eyes widened, and he froze in place.
"You're a smart one, you guessed it right, your sister did do be someone's substitute."
Zhiyue said lightly: "It's just that it has nothing to do with my young lady, or rather, my young lady originally wanted to keep Qing Yao, but unfortunately Qing Yao listened to her master's threat and died of touching the pillar!" β
The last four words fell, and the young man only felt that the blood all over his body rushed to his brain, and his limbs were cold, he stiffened his head to look at Zhiyue, and asked in a trembling voice: "You, you just ...... Say what? β
Touching the pillar and dying?
His sister?!
"The person who will send your sister back later should be here."
After Zhiyue finished speaking, she turned around and got into the sedan chair and left.
Leaving behind sluggish teenagers, and panicked couples.
"It's always windy...... I just knew what Miss Yue said...... What do you mean? β
Qing Yaoniang's heart was bottomless, "Did the Hou Mansion dismiss your sister?" Don't you want your sister to do things in the house? β
"Mother......
Cao Changfeng trembled his lips, unable to speak, and after breathing sharply a few times, he suddenly let out a howl.
"Chang Feng!"
Qingyao's father and mother were startled, hurriedly went to comfort their son, and asked hurriedly, "What happened?" What the hell is going on? β
However, in response to them, only Cao Changfeng's mournful cry was heard.
β¦β¦
Zhiyue returned to Xihuan Courtyard and briefly reported the incident.
ββ¦β¦ The slave and maid sat in the sedan chair, half a street away, and the cry of the family of three could be heard. Zhiyue sighed lightly.
"Hmm."
Gu Qinghuan's expression remained unchanged, the tragedy of this family had little to do with her, and there were other people brewing the tragedy, so she couldn't sigh for a long time.
"By the way, miss."
Zhiyue hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said: "When I came back last night, the slave maid had something to report. β
Gu Qinghuan raised his eyes and swept her, "What's the matter?" β
Zhiyue's heart froze, Gu Qinghuan's glance seemed to be faint, but she felt depressed and difficult to breathe.
Miss......
It's really different from before!
Zhiqiu is right, maybe Miss used to be a disguise, but now she is too lazy to pretend to be stupid!
That's right, this is what a Miss Hou should look like.
Zhiyue settled down and said: "Last night, when the slave maid took the clothes from Qingyao's house and returned home, because there was no young lady's waist card, she was suspected of having a problem, and the guard took the slave and maid to see the Hou Ye. β
When Gu Qinghuan heard this, a little surprise flashed in his eyes: "Why didn't you say such a big thing last night?" β
"Master Hou ordered the slave not to tell the young lady." Zhiyue lowered her head.
Gu Qinghuan narrowed his eyes: "Then now...... Why do you say it again? β
Zhiyue took a breath, plucked up the courage to raise her head, looked at Gu Qinghuan's gaze, and said seriously: "The master of the slave is Miss." β
Gu Qinghuan stared at her for a while, then smiled meaninglessly: "Go on." β
She didn't doubt Zhiyue's loyalty to her, when she was fooled by Gu Lingxian and Cai Yuping over the years, Zhiyue helped her prevent disasters.
"Master Hou also checked the clothes, and seemed to sniff the tea stains on the clothes." Zhiyue said.
When Gu Qinghuan heard this, he suddenly realized.
No wonder my father was able to find out that Song Gu, who seemed to be an unrelated person, turned out to be from the tea!
Father's sense of smell is very sensitive, and after dragging this blessing, she and her eldest brother Gu Jingxing's sense of smell is also different from ordinary people.
Especially Gu Jingxing, he couldn't stand the heavy smell at all, and it was because of this that he didn't have a son to inherit his father's business and go to the criminal department where Gu Yixian was treated, for fear that he would be smoked to death by the smell of blood in the prison one day, so he ran to the household department and became the household department.
"I see."
Gu Qinghuan thought and nodded slightly to Zhiyue: "If there is such a thing in the future, remember what you said today." β
Your master is me.
Zhiyue's heart froze, and she immediately bowed her head: "Yes." β
Although she was "warned" by Gu Qinghuan, Zhiyue was at ease, compared to the past miss, the current miss is more reliable.
At this moment, the housekeeper Xun Ye came to the door, and after being informed, he went to Gu Qinghuan's room, bowed and saluted: "Miss, there are your guests, and Master Hou is receiving visitors." β
Father personally visited?
Gu Qinghuan raised her eyebrows slightly, she knew who it was.
It came a lot earlier than expected.
