The house of the He family is not small, He Sui also has a small courtyard of his own, although it is not big, but it is quite clean, there is a big plantain planted in the patio, there are stone tables and stone chairs under the banana, and a few bushes of orchid grass are planted outside the corridor, lined with the embroidered household of the Zhu column, which is a bit picturesque.

Li Xi often comes here, after entering the courtyard, he took He Sui to see the parrot, Chen Ying didn't want to enter the house, just wanted to sit outside, He Sui ordered the little girl to get her a thick brocade mat, invited Chen Ying to sit under the banana tree, and ordered someone to bring hot tea.

Chen Ying looked around with the teacup, her eyebrows frowning slightly, and she always felt that this courtyard was a little depressing, which reminded her of the ancient times in the previous life.

At that time, she also lived in this kind of palm-sized yard, and still lived with her half-sister, almost every day lived in contention and calculation, and the cramped environment seemed to make her soul also bound, so that she forgot where she came from, and now that she thinks about it, it is really pitiful and ridiculous.

"Ah Xi, when I get to Jinan Mansion, can I really enter your family's women's school?" A timid voice suddenly sounded, bringing Chen Ying back to his senses.

When she looked back, she saw He Sui looking at Li Xi expectantly.

Li Xizheng was teasing the parrot to play, and when she heard this, she immediately lowered her face and said, "What's so fun about girls?" As he spoke, he frowned again: "Who are you listening to?" ”

He Suihuan said happily: "I heard from my mother, saying that there is a Li clan school in Jinan Mansion, and there is a special women's school." After finishing the sentence, he was a little puzzled: "But, Ah Xi, your family's ancestral home is not in Shandong, how can there be a Li clan in Jinan?" ”

Li Xi's face had wrinkled into bitter gourd, and he sighed and said: "That Li family has some relatives with our family, and they came to Shandong from their ancestral hometown. ”

As soon as she spoke of this, she felt that she had no strength to do anything, and sat down on the lintel of the stool with a distressed expression.

Seeing that she didn't like it, He Sui didn't dare to ask more, and hurriedly changed the topic and said: "This parrot has a unique job, it can knock melon seeds, I will ask the maid to take melon seeds and knock them over to show you, okay?" ”

These words made Li Xi cheer up again, and nodded his head and said yes.

After a while, the little maid brought melon seeds, and the parrot really knocked up, and got the melon seed skin all over the ground, Li Xi was very happy to see it, and then laughed again.

Looking at these two little girls, Chen Ying felt that it was also interesting, and she picked up the teacup and was about to drink it, when she suddenly heard a scream from outside: "Come on!" Kill! ”

Chen Ying immediately stood up.

"The old lady has been killed! Come on! ”

The high-pitched cry with a pronounced trill, was heard in the hearts of the people

"What's going on?" He Sui and Li Xi looked at each other, and their faces were a little pale.

"Where's that direction?" Chen Ying put down the teacup, pointed to the source of the voice and looked at He Sui and asked.

He Sui had a kind of awe in her bones, and when he heard the words at this moment, he snorted: "That seems to be ...... It seems like my grandfather...... Grandfather's residence. ”

"I'll take a look." Chen Ying walked out as she spoke.

Li Xi was busy calling behind: "Cousin, I'll go too." So saying, he chased after him.

Chen Ying paused, turned around and said, "Ah Xi, don't go, if something really happens, you will be afraid." ”

Li Xi had already run behind Chen Ying, and when she heard this, she straightened her chest: "I'm not afraid, I'm ...... I'm not afraid. ”

Although he said this, his confidence was insufficient, and his face became more and more pale.

Chen Ying reached out and touched her head, and said softly: "You are still here to accompany Second Miss He, she is timid, she can't do it without you." ”

Li Xi hesitated for a while, looked back at He Sui, but saw that He Sui really had an expression that was about to cry, and he shrank under the corridor and refused to move.

"That's it, then I'll stay." Li Xi said reluctantly, took Chen Ying's hand again, and told her: "If there is anything you want me to help with, my cousin must tell me." ”

Since the first-line incident, Li Xi has made up her mind to stop being timid and afraid, and to be a brave girl who can help her cousin. It's just that the so-called easier said than done, and when she heard that someone had been killed at the moment, she was still instinctively afraid.

Chen Ying comforted her softly, and then walked out of the courtyard with Xunzhen, He Sui sent a little maid to guide the way, and a few people turned the two moon gates, and came to the residence of Old Lady He.

At this time, there was already chaos inside and outside the courtyard gate, and several guests who had arrived in advance were crowding in front of the courtyard, blocking the courtyard door, and the sound of talking "buzzing" from ear to ear sounded.

The subordinates of the He family have never seen such a battle, they are all a little stunned, Chen Ying crossed the crowd and stepped into the courtyard gate, and those subordinates cowered, but they didn't even think about stepping forward to stop them.

Chen Ying walked in and looked around.

The big girl named Mingxin wasn't there.

It stands to reason that as a big girl, she should be here to maintain order and dispatch people.

However, this Mingxin is obviously a little wrong with the Huang family, and it may also be set aside by the Huang family.

With these thoughts in his heart, Chen Ying came to the courtyard.

The situation in the courtyard was no better than outside, the two servant women sat on the ground, each with a clear palm print on their faces, and Huang was leading a woman who looked like a housekeeper to stand outside the door of the main house, her face was pale, and her hand holding the door frame trembled.

"Mrs. He, is something wrong?" Chen Ying stepped forward and asked, trying to keep his voice as calm as possible.

The muscles on Huang's face moved, as if he was trying to make a smile, but he didn't succeed, so the expression seemed a little distorted: "No...... Nothing happened. The three girls went outside and sat down. ”

It took a lot of her strength to say this, she stopped and took a breath, and then she seemed to understand, and immediately her face turned cold, and she turned to the mother in charge and said angrily: "Are you dead? Don't hurry up and show me the door! ”

The housekeeper's mother was already so frightened that her lips were blue and her face turned white, and when she heard the words, she answered yes and walked to the door to close the courtyard door.

The Huang family said to the two servants on the ground: "And you, get up quickly, what kind of system is this?" ”

Seeing this scene by Chen Ying, the Huang family was extremely embarrassed, and at the same time he was afraid of the terrible scene in the house, his face was white and blue for a while, and his body was trembling uncontrollably, if he didn't hold on to the door frame, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to support it.

Chen Ying took two steps forward and said gently, "Mrs. He, please let me go in and have a look." ”

As she spoke, she took out the detective gold medal from her sleeve, raised it and shook it to the Huang family: "This is the gold medal given by His Majesty, I am an investigator by order, and I ask Mrs. He not to stop me." ”
