282. Joining forces
"My mother had long since learned that her whereabouts were unknown, and she was unwilling to let the cash cow she had carefully cultivated fall down, and decided to let me take her place. I was desperate and had no choice but to say yes.
I began to practice hard and strive to become the top brand of Baihualou, just to attract Tang Yan's attention. Sure enough, he fell in love with me at first sight.
I deliberately dressed up as Qinghe, just to find out if Qinghe was worth dying for him, but he never mentioned it. My heart is cold, he has long forgotten Qinghe. I hate it, my best sister died because of him, and he didn't move. I decided to make a compromise, find out the cause of He's death, and avenge her. ”
Wan Mei said through gritted teeth. Her fists were clenched very tightly, and Su Xiaojin looked at it and felt empathy. After listening to her story, I also learned about Wanmei's motives. She didn't expect that the woman in front of her would be so affectionate and righteous.
She calmly asked if Wan Mei had found someone who had killed her, or who she suspected.
Wanmei hesitated for a moment, then shook her head slightly. She said she was risking her life because she didn't know who it was, but she thought it was highly likely.
Speaking of this, the eyes of the two looked at each other, and the ancient rumor blurted out the word "Meng's", and the evening charm nodded clearly, and Su Xiaojin tacitly did not speak.
Wanmei was waiting for Su Xiaojin to make a statement. She is the top brand that has been *, and her ability to observe words and colors has long been perfected. From the first day she got married, she knew that Su Xiaojin and Meng were not as harmonious as they seemed on the surface, so she was also betting on whether Su Xiaojin would help her!
The power of Houfu is so big, and it is not clear that one of her girls' family said that the investigation would be clear.
Sure enough, Su Xiaojin did not disappoint Wanmei. She quickly gave a satisfactory answer.
"I will help you, I envy the friendship between you and Qinghe, and I admire her courage even more. But one thing you have to be clear about is that you are not allowed to harm the innocent. Otherwise, I will terminate the promise without mercy. ”
Wanmei nodded excitedly, indicating that she would never threaten everything about her. Su Xiaojin smiled and high-fived her, and the two happily formed an alliance.
Now that it has been said, the two sides will no longer hide it. Wanmei is full of confidence, Su Xiaojin is a smart person, and with her help, she will definitely be able to find the real murderer.
After Wanmei left, Su Xiaojin continued to read. He said he was reading a book, but he couldn't concentrate on it. She sighed, threw the medical book on the table beside her, and meditated on her chin with her hands.
Gu Yu saw her thinking seriously, and couldn't bear to disturb her. He walked out of the door lightly and closed the door.
Can't live and die, but don't see the corpse?
She couldn't help but shake her head and deny herself, this kind of thing is not valid in medicine. Qinghe is a prostitute, and her heart belongs to Tang Yan, so naturally she will not marry without saying a word. Then, there is only one possibility, she has been kidnapped, or has been killed, and her body has been thrown into the barren mountains, so the evening charm is untraceable.
Su Xiaojin decided to incarnate as Bao Qingtian and seriously judge the case. Such a thought suddenly rose in her mind, maybe Qinghe was killed! Just imagine, if Qinghe died, who would be the biggest beneficiary?
Mengshi!
Almost without thinking, Su Xiaojin came up with the answer. Tang Yan married a prostitute, and Meng was the most intolerable. If Qinghe comes to Houfu alone to ask for an explanation, it is not impossible for her to kill the killer.
She combed through this and found that many problems were easily solved. Su Xiaojin couldn't help but confront someone now. But she also knew that if Meng Shi refused to admit it, it would be difficult for her to end up without evidence.
Alas, that's a good thing. She was talking to herself in frustration.
At this time, the door was pushed open, and Tang Muchen, who had just descended from the court, walked in from outside the door.
"What do you think? Let the old ballads stay outside. He smiled and looked at his wife with strange eyes.
There are no outsiders in this house, why is she so mysterious?
Su Xiaojin realized that the ancient rumor was not in the house, she smiled, this girl was too careful, she must have been afraid of making a noise before she went out.
"Gu Yao, pour me a cup of tea." She whispered softly to the door.
Gu Yu immediately walked in the door, holding the hot water that had just been boiled in his hand.
Su Xiaojin told Tang Muchen everything that happened today, and this time the ancient rumor did not go out again. After listening to Su Xiaojin's words, Tang Muchen's face was a little pale.
"Wanmei is a Qinglou woman, don't interact with her too often in the future." He took his wife's hand and whispered.
Su Xiaojin was disdainful, what about the women in the Qinglou, they were much stronger than those noble ladies who were two-faced and stabbed. Besides, being in a dye vat but keeping herself clean, how good such a woman is.
The ancient ballad admired in his heart, and the lady really had a true temperament. No matter how humble her status is, as long as she is a kind person, she is willing to reach out and pull a hand.
Tang Muchen saw that she was resolute, and she was no longer reluctant, she just hoped that Wan Mei would not hurt her.
The evening charm embroidered against the light, and the beads lit up the candle a little. Looking at the lifelike mandarin ducks playing in the water in her hand, she couldn't help but admire again and again.
Wan Mei smiled, I haven't done needlework for a long time, and my hands are a lot rougher. I think when I was at home, her handiwork was famous in the neighborhood.
"While it's still early, I'll embroider a pair of pillows for the young lady." She adjusted her sitting position and began to embroider again.
Zhu'er was a little surprised to hear that she was embroidered for Su Xiaojin.
"Auntie, do you think the young lady will really help us?" She couldn't help but whisper.
Wan Mei replied without raising her head, Yes.
Zhu'er was silent, and seeing that there was no response, she raised her head and put down the needle and thread in her hand
"If it were someone else, I wouldn't believe a word. But Su Xiaojin, I believe her. ”
Zhu'er nodded secretly, Su Xiaojin is indeed kind at heart, and I believe that she should be reliable.
Wan Mei was about to speak, and the drunken Tang Yan came back. She shut up and watched him staggering onto the bed.
"Auntie......" Zhu'er couldn't help pinching her nose. Tang Yan's body was full of alcohol, how could Wanmei rest tonight.
Wan Mei seemed to be used to it, and after glancing at her eyes calmly, she asked Zhu'er to go and get another mattress, and she would sleep in the outer hall tonight.
Pearl didn't move, in the late autumn season, the outer hall was extremely cold, and if she slept there, she would definitely catch a cold.
Wan Mei guessed her mind and smiled bitterly. He is not a golden branch and jade leaf, where is he so squeamish. Besides, what are these sufferings now compared to before?
"Let's go." She urged Zhu'er, and Zhu'er went to the inner room to get the quilt step by step.
Tang Yan on the bed was already asleep, and the snoring sound was like thunder, resounding throughout the room.
