Chapter 403: Agarwood (21)

Xing Ruyi made a move to make Yun Xi not be anxious, looked into the boy's eyes and asked, "Since that person has already looked for you and won't let you tell you about this matter, why did you change your mind and plan to tell us the truth?" Aren't you afraid that he will take revenge on you? ”

"Does it work to be afraid?" The boy replied.

"Of course it doesn't work, the best way to deal with fear is to face it head-on and then overcome it."

"Sister Ruyi, what you said is so good. If it were me, I would never have thought of this sentence anyway. But I'm not stupid, in the years I have been with my stepmother, in addition to learning to be afraid and learning to escape, I have also learned one thing, that is, to observe words and looks. Just now, when that person came to me, I saw a fierce light in his eyes, and I knew that even if I didn't say anything today, he would not let me go when I left this courtyard. My stepmother taught me that if I can't put someone to death, I must at least drag him to the end. I know, this sentence is not good, but in Luo Province, it is very practical. ”

When the word Luo Fu was spoken, the boy still subconsciously glanced at Yun Xi. He knew that Yun Xi was the young lady of the Luo family, and Luo Ping loved this young lady very much, once Master Luo died, this young lady's status in the Luo family was only higher than that of the deceased Old Lady Luo. If he wants to survive in Luofu, he must rely on this young lady. He said those words just now, but it didn't mean that he wasn't worried that Yun Xi would think too much or be unwilling to listen.

Xing Ruyi originally thought that the boy in front of her was just a simple and innocent little guy in Luo's mansion, but now it seems that she is thinking simple. No wonder, before the fox leaves, she will make special arrangements for Aunt Lu to accompany her to Luofu, probably because the fox has known for a long time, the people in Luofu have secrets, and each is not simple.

Thinking of this, Xing Ruyi's gaze at the boy also changed slightly.

She got up, took Yun Xi outside the door first, helped her check her pulse, found that her fetal image was unstable, and secretly used ghost magic to help her soothe the little fetus that had not yet turned into a human form. Although she did not transform into a human form, Xing Ruyi still poked out, and Yun Xi was pregnant with a girl in her belly.

"The young lady is not yet in March, for the sake of the child in her womb, you must not be too emotional."

"Thank you, Miss Ruyi! Just seeing that this murderer is hiding in my Luo Mansion, I can't help but feel uneasy in my heart. Yun Xi said, moved his gaze to the boy again, and asked, "You just covered it up, but because that murderer is someone you can't say and don't dare to say?" ”

The boy nodded first, and then shook his head: "At first, I didn't dare to say it, but now I don't dare to say it, but I'm afraid to say it, young lady, you and Sister Ruyi don't believe it." ”

"Say, Sister Ruyi believes in you."

Xing Ruyi looked into the boy's eyes and began to regret his proposal just now. If such a child is left in the Luo family, and Luo Ping and Yun Xi are carefully cultivated, I am afraid that this huge Luo family will also be swallowed by him in the future. It's not just the Luo family, I'm afraid that the child in Yun Xi's womb won't be able to hide.

She originally thought that unpredictable people like Mo Xu were the most terrifying in this world, but now it seems that there are still many terrifying people in this world, but she has never noticed it before, and she has never noticed it. She has to find a chance to talk to Yun Xi about this child, at the moment, the most important thing is to know who the murderer in his mouth is? Isn't it Master Luo?

"Now, can you tell Sister Ruyi and the young lady in your house, who is the murderer who killed Mama?"

The boy's eyes rolled first, and instead of answering, he asked: "I asked Sister Ruyi just now, but I noticed the water stains in front of the bed, and I also told my sister, saying that I heard my stepmother's ghost knocking on the door, and when I went out, I saw the same puddle of water stains in front of the door, but there was another thing that I didn't tell my sister and the young lady." ”

"What?"

"Just now the young lady said that my stepmother will only take me back to Luofu during the New Year's holidays, which is true."

"So, what you mean is that before the two murders in Luofu, you had already returned to the Luo family, and you were arranged by the housekeeper to be on duty in the gatehouse."

"Sister Ruyi is so smart!" The boy lowered his head, but he couldn't hide the praise in his mouth: "When my sister entered the door, I said that my sister is a doctor, but this ordinary doctor will not come to this courtyard." So, I guess that Sister Ruyi, your identity must not be simple. Even if you are not a person in the government, you must be someone who has a relationship with the government. ”

"If you barely count, I am indeed a person who has some relationship with the government."

"That's fine, then what I said afterwards can be regarded as a confession, right?"

The boy raised his eyes, but Xing Ruyi thought for a while before nodding: "If what you say is the truth and it is related to the case, it can naturally be regarded as a confession." ”

"I'm still young, and I don't know much if it's related to the case, but my sister is different, my sister is not an ordinary person, and she must be able to judge whether what I said below is a confession."

The boy's attitude was still extremely respectful, but when he heard Xing Ruyi's ears, he completely lost the feeling of pity for him just now.

Sure enough, people's hearts are fickle, including herself.

"In previous years, my stepmother would also take me back to the Luo family. Although he lives in Luofu, he spends most of his time in this courtyard. My stepmother is the most trusted person next to Mrs. Luo, and she has a lot of monthly money, and she has no other expenses, so it is not difficult to raise me. During the days when I stayed in Luofu, my stepmother asked people to buy food and clothing from outside. Therefore, although everyone in the Luo Mansion knows about this matter, they can't find any reason. In previous years, the housekeeper would not tell me what to do. Only this year is a little different. I just followed my stepmother into the house on the front foot, and the housekeeper on the back foot came to me, saying that he saw that I was not young and wanted me to stay in the house to help do something, and I could learn the rules by the way. Although the stepmother was reluctant, it was always difficult to refute the housekeeper's face. As for me, I couldn't ask for it, thinking that the housekeeper saw that I had suffered in previous years, so he came to help me. ”

The boy was going to say this, and suddenly he changed his mind and said something else.

"By the way, I just said that I always heard the sound of my stepmother's ghost knocking on the door in the past few days, but I didn't tell Sister Ruyi and the young lady, in fact, on the night my stepmother was killed, I heard that voice and saw the water stains."

Xing Ruyi's eyes widened, and she looked at the boy, and there was a trace of disgust in her heart.

Yin Yuan also has thoughts and cities, but those thoughts and cities can be taken out to dry, to put it bluntly, there is neither the intention of harming people, nor the intention of harming people (who he wants to eat, who he wants to kill, can be seen from his eyes, but he doesn't admit it). But the child in front of him, his city and mind really made people feel cold. Fortunately, he is a little younger after all, and he can't hold it back, and after pretending to be simple, scared, and helpless, he can't help but show off his success again.

Although Xing Ruyi was a little disgusted, he didn't show it, but followed the boy's meaning and showed great interest.

"You mean, on Chinese New Year's Eve, your stepmother came to your door for help, but you didn't open it!"

"Yes!" The boy confessed, and looked directly into Xing Ruyi's eyes: "I'm afraid of her, I'm afraid of her from the bottom of my heart!" ”

"I can understand that although I haven't experienced what you've been through, I'm also from your age. What's next? Can you tell Sister Ruyi what happened next? ”

I was scared and didn't open the door, but after my mother's voice disappeared, I crept up to the window and looked out. Then, I saw a man who had resisted her and disappeared into the night. I realized at that time that something must have happened in the house, but I didn't dare to say anything, I was afraid that the person would come back, and I was afraid that something would happen to me. I huddled in the corner with my legs crossed, as I did every time I was beaten by my stepmother, waiting quietly in the dark.

I don't know how long it was, maybe it was a long time, maybe it wasn't too long, I just felt that my mind was empty, and in addition to fear, there was a little bit of joy mixed in. Finally, I don't know where I got the courage, I got up, rushed to the door, and then pulled the door open at once. Then I saw the water stains that were shining in the moonlight, and there seemed to be some green things floating in the water stains, and those green things still gave off a bad smell, I can't tell whether they were fishy or smelly. ”

"You saw the murderer, on the night your stepmother was killed."

Xing Ruyi concluded, and the boy nodded.

"The next day, before dawn, the news that Mrs. Luo hanged herself in the ancestral hall reached my ears. No! To be exact, it reached the ears of all the Luo family. The maids, servants, maids, and grandmothers all went to the ancestral hall to see the excitement, but I didn't go. Sister Ruyi, do you know where I went? ”

"You went back to this courtyard, because you thought about what you heard and saw at night, and you were faintly worried in your heart, and longed for your worries to come true. You know, if your stepmother didn't have an accident, at this time, she should have heard the news and went to the Luo family ancestral hall, if she really had an accident, then in this courtyard, all you see is a corpse, a dead man, a dead man who can neither beat you nor scold you. ”

"That's right! That's exactly what I thought at the time. But just as I was running there, I ran into a man! The boy pointed to the gate of the courtyard: "That person should have appeared in the Luo family ancestral hall, but he appeared here!" ”

"Steward Luo?!"

Xing Ruyi gently spit out those three words.
