As soon as Shang Yucheng got home, he walked into the study and buried himself in front of the desk to write a letter.

Seeing that she hadn't come out for a long time, Xianglin boiled a cup of honeysuckle tea and brought it into the study.

"Miss, let's have some tea." Xianglin put the hot tea in front of Shang Yucheng.

"Hmm. Thank you. Shang Yucheng responded casually and continued to write.

After a while, Shang Yucheng saw that Xianglin was standing in front of her and didn't move, so he raised his head, "What's wrong?" Something? ”

Seeing that Shang Yucheng had finally noticed him, Xianglin nodded hurriedly, and said a little embarrassedly, "Miss, you are going to Nanjing, can you take me with you?" I'll be there for you all the way, and it's more convenient. ”

Shang Yucheng said with a smile, "Serve all the way? It seems like a long way to go. What are you doing in Nanjing? ”

Xianglin said, "Miss, if I go, I'll serve you as soon as I come." Second, if you quarrel with the second young master like this and leave Shanghai, the second young master will definitely come to ask me, and I won't be able to deal with it. So I'd better follow you to Nanjing. ”

Shang Yucheng listened, but he doubted Xianglin's original intention in his heart, was the reason why she planned to go to Nanjing really as she said, or did Ye Shen instruct her to do so?

After thinking about it, Shang Yucheng still rejected Xianglin, "I have some personal matters to do when I go to Nanjing this time, and it will be inconvenient to take you with me." If you don't want to stay here, it's okay to visit friends and family or go out for a while. As she spoke, she took out two bills from the drawer and handed them to Xianglin, "I'll pay for you when you go out." ”

Xianglin shook his hand, "It's not necessary, if it's inconvenient for Miss to take me, I won't go." ”

Shang Yucheng said with a smile, "You can take it, buy a new dress to wear." ”

Xianglin saw that Shang Yucheng insisted, so he had to take the money, thought about it and became cheerful again, "Didn't Miss say last time that she likes to eat bacon?" I can't always buy good ones in the nearby vegetable market, so I've been idle these days, looking around, and if I see a good one, I'll buy more and come back, and the money is always enough. ”

Shang Yucheng shook his head and said solemnly, "That's not necessary, in this world, it's better for you to be careful not to run around." After a pause, he said, "Have you forgotten the robbery in the public concession in broad daylight a few days ago?" ”

Xianglin nodded, suddenly revealing a worried look, "I don't have anything." But Miss, you're going to Nanking—I've heard that there's a lot of trouble there, and a lot of Communists have been arrested in the police station. ”

Shang Yucheng said with a smile, "I am not a Communist Party, and I have never made trouble, so I will be fine." ”

Xianglin responded, "Anyway, Miss still has to be more careful." ”

"Hmm." Shang Yucheng nodded a little carelessly, and suddenly remembered that the luggage he had not packed when he went out had not yet been packed, so he said, "You have to help me pack my luggage, streamline it, and prepare a change of clothes for three or four days." ”

What the situation was like when she went to Nanjing, Shang Yucheng had no way to guess, and she had no way of knowing how many days she would stay. At this time, she can only try her best to arrange the affairs of Shanghai, so that she can find the whereabouts of the child without worry. As for Nanjing, fortunately, she has been to Nanjing many times in the past, and if she needs to add anything temporarily, it will be too late.

After writing the letter, Shang Yucheng carefully put it in the envelope, carefully pasted the stamps, and asked Xianglin to send the letter for her, so she packed it up and took a set of pearl necklaces that had been prepared a long time ago to Lu's house.

Zhao Yilin had lunch, lying lazily in the room with a magazine, turning the pages in his hand for a while, but his mind had long been out of sight.

"Grandma." Mother Zhang led Shang Yucheng over, raised her voice at the door and called, "Miss Shang is here." ”

"Come in." Zhao Yilin answered, turned over and got out of bed, and combed his hair and clothes casually.

"Sister-in-law. Shang Yucheng said with a smile, "Your young grandmother's life is really incomparable to others." ”

Zhao Yilin smiled and pulled her to sit down, "You will make fun of me, I am still thinking about it, I am very bored to stay up every day, and I envy you for going out to do things." ”

Shang Yucheng shook his head with a smile, "I only go out to do things when I am unlucky, my eldest brother is so capable and loves his wife, why go out and work hard." ”

Zhao Yilin glanced at her, "Can't our second child do it, don't hurt his wife?" ”

This was originally a joke, but Shang Yucheng's face froze when he heard it, and he smiled and didn't speak.

Zhao Yilin looked at Shang Yucheng's face, sighed, and said, "What's the matter, the little two quarreled?" ”

Shang Yucheng shook his head, looking unwilling to elaborate, and handed the jewelry box in his hand to Zhao Yilin, "After the first two days of bothering my sister-in-law to do something for us, this is a thank you gift I specially bought." Gadgets, sister-in-law don't dislike it. ”

Zhao Yilin glanced at the jewelry box, knowing that it was not a worthless gadget, knowing that Shang Yucheng did not lack such a sum of money, he did not push it back, took it and put it on the table, and said with a smile, "It's all a family, I said earlier that I don't have to see everything, but you are always so polite." But this is also your careful and considerate, if we Jingcheng, we can't think of such a thing as a thank you gift, it can be seen that you are more sensible than him, if Jingcheng does something wrong, you have to be more tolerant. ”

Shang Yucheng frowned slightly, and said with a little resentment, "I'm afraid it's because of this that he has no fear." ”

Zhao Yilin looked at her, "Is this really a quarrel?" What the hell is going on, say it, sister-in-law will administer justice for you. ”

When Shang Yucheng heard this, his eyes were slightly red, "I'm not afraid of sister-in-law's jokes, it's only been two days since we got engaged, let alone get married." Now that it's time to do it, you call me tolerance, but I don't know where the word tolerance comes from. ”

Zhao Yilin listened to Shang Yucheng's words and couldn't help but be taken aback, "Do it? Could it be that Jing Cheng can't beat you? ”

As she spoke, she couldn't help but look at Shang Yucheng, and sure enough, she saw a vague redness and swelling on her face.

"Ouch! Your face—but Jing Cheng made it? ”

Shang Yucheng smiled miserably and did not speak.

Zhao Yilin hurriedly said, "Does it matter if you want this?" Have you asked a doctor to take a look? ”

Shang Yucheng shook his head, "The injury on my face is nothing, but I don't know where to put this heart." ”

Seeing this, Zhao Yilin couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic, if Lu Jingpeng was cold to her, he could be regarded as respectful in the end. It's never been like this. She frowned, "It's not important, but you should take a look." After a pause, he said, "Jing Cheng has always loved you, what is the reason for this sudden move on you?" ”

Shang Yucheng sighed, "It's a very small thing to say. She looked up at Zhao Yilin, "The reason is that on the night of the engagement, I and that Miss Jia originally bought fakes, and Mr. Ye had to stand up for Miss Jia. Later, Mr. Ye said a few words to me in private, and Jing Cheng was furious—now I still don't understand why Mr. Ye made us so angry because he said something unusual. ”

Zhao Yilin listened to Shang Yucheng's words, and thought to himself, could it be that Lu Jingcheng was jealous - it stands to reason that it would not be to the point of doing it. Could it be that Ye Shen said something unfavorable to the Lu family that made Lu Jingcheng so angry?

"How could Jing Cheng be so unreasonable—I don't know what Mr. Ye said?" Zhao Yilin asked.

Shang Yucheng was innocent, "Mr. Ye told me that there was a murder in the Capital Hotel a few days ago, and a woman died. She looked up at Zhao Yilin, "Speaking of this woman, we have also met face-to-face." ”

Zhao Yilin looked at Shang Yucheng with some confusion, "Who is it?" ”

Shang Yucheng saw that the confused look on Zhao Yilin's face did not look like a fake, and said lightly, "It's that Wu Hong." ”

"Wu Hong is dead?" Zhao Yilin's eyes widened in surprise. After a while, he said blankly, "She...... How did she die? ”

Shang Yucheng said, "These things have been published in various tabloids, and they have spread all over the streets and alleys, but we don't know it." She said a little unbearably, "I heard that someone smashed his head and killed him in his room." ”

Zhao Yilin's face turned pale when he heard this death, he shook his head as if he couldn't believe it, and said after a while, "This is really miserable." After a pause, he said, "Can the murderer be caught?" ”

Shang Yucheng shook his head and stared at Zhao Yilin's face, "Not only did this murderer not be caught, but he didn't even know who it was." The Metropolis Hotel is so big, and there are not a few people coming and going, how can it be so easy. ”

Zhao Yilin nodded slightly, but shook his head again and said, "Having said that, the Metropolis Hotel is not a hotel that everyone can afford to live in, and the guests are either rich or expensive, and it is not so difficult to find someone." After she finished speaking, she didn't know what she thought, and suddenly turned slightly pale.

Shang Yucheng bowed his head in agreement, raised the teacup on the table and took a sip.

Zhao Yilin looked at Shang Yucheng, "This Wu Hong is dead, what does it have to do with you and Jing Cheng?" How can a good person quarrel for such a person? ”

Shang Yucheng looked depressed, "This matter has nothing to do with us. It's just that Mr. Ye talked to me privately that day, saying that everyone was talking outside-" Shang Yucheng looked at Zhao Yilin, and stopped talking.

Zhao Yilin's heart skipped a beat, and he asked with some eagerness, "What to say?" ”

Shang Yucheng looked at Zhao Yilin with some embarrassment, "It's all smearing." It's just a rumor, and no one will believe it. ”

Zhao Yilin frowned and pleaded, "What are the words?" Thou shalt not hide it from me. After a pause, he said with some fear, "Could it be that those people outside suspect your eldest brother?" ”

Shang Yucheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Now there are people who say something, in addition to the eldest brother, there are also people who say that it is the sister-in-law who found out about the matter between them and killed Wu Hong in a fit of anger." In short, I'm afraid this matter will soon make trouble, and the sister-in-law must be mentally prepared. ”

Zhao Yilin listened to Shang Yucheng's words, his face turned white like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and he said hurriedly, "Me? Who the hell said these nonsense nonsense - it's so hateful! ”

In this way, Zhao Yilin suddenly lost sympathy for the dead Wu Hong, and said, "I didn't expect this Wu Hong to harm people alive, and he will hurt people when he dies!" ”

After saying this, Zhao Yilin seemed to feel a little speechless, such angry words are not what a lady should say. Fortunately, Shang Yucheng on the other side seemed to understand her mood very much, and didn't notice what she said.

"Sister-in-law, don't be angry. Ignorant people are the same, so why take it seriously? Shang Yucheng also followed Zhao Yilin's words and said, "But after all, it's better to be careful, uncle and eldest brother have been rolling in the business for many years, and it is inevitable that they will make enemies, but don't let people catch them." ”

As soon as he said this, Zhao Yilin also realized that she was the real victim when it came to Wu Hong's matter, and whether she made an enemy or killed someone, it had nothing to do with her. Why should she be slandered by these rumors?

Thinking of this, Zhao Yilin couldn't help but be angry and aggrieved, and looked up at Shang Yucheng, "How could such gossip come out?" Doesn't the patrol house investigate the case? ”

Shang Yucheng also looked puzzled, "Mr. Ye said that the police have found a witness, and they are probably not far from solving the case." The witness never dared to lie to the police. She comforted Zhao Yilin and said, "When you find out clearly, naturally those gossips will disappear." ”

Zhao Yilin listened to her words but became even more suspicious, "Since a witness has been found, why are there such rumors?" ”

Shang Yucheng looked at the panicked Zhao Yilin and lowered his eyes slightly.

"I don't know. However, the sister-in-law is sincere and generous, which is well known to passers-by. No matter how much others slander them, it's useless. Shang Yucheng said intimately, "Since the Qing is self-purifying, why should the sister-in-law care what they say." ”

Zhao Yilin listened to Shang Yucheng's words, but somehow, he suddenly remembered a gang rape case that had been sealed for five years.

At that time, when Su Jingyao's case first came out, there were still many people who were familiar with the Su family who opened their mouths to clarify for Su Jingyao, but such a voice eventually disappeared. Su Jingyao and the Su family's reputation were ruined and disappeared from then on.

Even if the conduct is good enough to be known to passers-by, it may not always be effective.

Zhao Yilin only felt a chill surging up from her back to the top of her head, making her shiver.

Shang Yucheng took a sip of tea in silence before he spoke, "There is no need to talk about these nonsensical things. Sister-in-law, don't take it to heart. ”

Zhao Yilin didn't seem to hear Shang Yucheng's words, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Seeing this, Shang Yucheng took his leave with interest.

After Shang Yucheng left, Zhao Yilin was still sitting like that, and his face became more and more difficult to look at.

After that argument with Lu Jingpeng, she withdrew the people who followed Wu Hong. She is not unaware of her husband, since this matter has been troubled, Lu Jingpeng will not give her another chance to catch the handle, not to mention that Lu Jingpeng will not fall out with his wife from a famous family for a dancer.

Later, there was no news of Wu Hong, she once thought that her husband had changed his mind, but she didn't expect the news of Wu Hong's death to come, which made her feel a chill in her back uncontrollably.

Why did Wu Hong die? And why are there rumors about her and Wu Hong's death? All this is too much like a huge chess game, and the person who plays chess will be the husband who shares the bed with him?

Zhao Yilin couldn't help but think of the Su Jingyao case that Lu Jingpeng was involved in back then, and the suspicions that he hadn't noticed at the time suddenly became clear, how could a female student who was not deeply involved in the world become the culprit of this case?

Zhao Yilin, who was deep in thought, bit her lip tightly, this was an action she was used to, until her lips turned bright red, she stood up suddenly, turned around and walked straight out of the room.
