The candlelight went out, and the vision became cloudy.

Luo Xuyan rubbed her eyes and asked Zhiyue to pick up Du Cheng's hair, and she carefully took the candlestick and looked closer.

Sharp silver light flickered above Du Cheng's head, and she reached out and touched it again, and it felt like the tip of a needle.

She "chuckled" in her heart, and bad conjectures surfaced in her mind.

"Miss Luo, what's wrong?" Seeing her staring at the top of Du Cheng's head in a daze, the official asked curiously.

Luo Xuyan blinked, put down the candlestick, and said calmly: "It's nothing, it's just that the hair is knotted here, I'll get it open." ”

The official did not continue to ask.

Luo Xuyan calmly combed Du Cheng's hair, and together with Zhiyue and the servants, she put on a shroud for him, covered it with a white cloth, and then moved the bed, with her head facing the door.

"Let's set up the offering table." She said absent-mindedly.

While arranging, Zhiyue asked with concern: "Miss, are you tired?" ”

"It's fine." Luo Xuyan shook her head and looked at the top of Du Cheng's head again.

After a while, there was a sound of talking outside the house, and the official went out to see, "The state yamen has sent someone." Zhao Gongzi is good, Brother Yang is good. ”

This "Zhao Gongzi" made Luo Xuyan raise her head, and after a while, she saw Zhao Ying coming in.

Zhao Ying said: "Du Yamen has been working in the yamen for more than ten years, and he left too suddenly. Thorn Shi specially asked me to come over and give me some money. ”

He comforted Du Cheng's family with concern and calmed their emotions, and after a while, several people who were crying endlessly quieted down, and were helped to sit on a bench next to them by the servants, and stuffed a cup of hot tea for each of them.

When Zhao Ying turned her head to look, Luo Xuyan nodded, which was regarded as a greeting.

"I'm so sorry to disturb Miss Luo at such a late hour." Zhao Ying walked over, the candlelight reflected in his eyes, shining like stars, "I will definitely talk to the yamen, and the silver money will be doubled for you." ”

Luo Xuyan was also polite and said, "Thank you." The mourning hall has been almost arranged, and the coffin and blessed land will depend on the Du family's own arrangements first. ”

"Okay," Zhao Ying said, "It's late at night, shall I send Miss Luo back?" ”

Luo Xuyan thought about it slightly, nodded and said, "Trouble Zhao Gongzi." ”

Zhao Ying explained a few words to the official surnamed Yang, and then came out of the Du family with Luo Xuyan and Zhiyue.

The bright moon was in the sky, there was no one on the street, and it was quiet all around.

Zhao Ying held a lantern in front of her to lead the way, "Miss Luo, have you had dinner?" ”

"I've eaten it." Luo Xuyan walked in the shadow of the courtyard wall, "Zhao Gongzi, I heard that Du Yashi was drunk and fell on his heels, so he didn't do it?" ”

"Yes." Zhao Ying said: "I lay in the ditch for a while before I was discovered by passers-by, and when I was sent to the hospital, I couldn't save people." ”

Luo Xuyan sighed.

Zhao Ying glanced at her a few more times and asked, "Miss Luo has something to say?" ”

"Nothing." Luo Xuyan smiled, but she was thinking about it in her heart.

What is on Du Cheng's head, do you want to talk to Zhao Ying?

Du Cheng's death has another hidden secret, who wants to kill a small servant, why do you want to kill it? She couldn't have imagined it.

If it is said that Du Cheng has been a servant for so many years and has made so many enemies, but he can kill people by such secret means, and his origin must be extraordinary.

In this way, if she said it rashly, I am afraid that it will lead to death.

With such hesitation, Xu Zhai has arrived.

"Thank you Zhao Gongzi for sending me back." Luo Xuyan saw the lantern at the door, emitting a warm glow in the quiet night, and finally made up her mind, "Actually, today is my grandmother's birthday, Zhao Gongzi come in for a drink, right?" ”

Zhao Ying said: "It stands to reason that I should have gone to say hello to Mrs. Xu, but I was running around for a day, I was covered in stinky sweat, and I didn't bring any gifts, so I didn't have the face to see Mrs. Xu." ”

Luo Xuyan didn't force it, "Zhao Gongzi, please go slowly." ”

"Miss Luo, farewell." Zhao Ying arched his hand and was about to turn around, but someone hurriedly ran out of Xu's house.

"Zhao Gongzi, please stay." The butler pulled his robe and hurried over.

Zhao Ying paused and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The housekeeper smiled: "Madame heard that Zhao Gongzi was coming, and asked me to hurry up and invite you in." ”

Luo Xuyan said: "You really can't run this time." ”

Zhao Ying shook her head helplessly, "If you are presumptuous, please ask Miss Luo to help?" ”

"I will, please." As soon as Luo Xuyan stepped into the house, a black shadow rushed over, and before she could dodge, her arm was grabbed by the people around her.

The dark shadow brushed past her, facing the ground.

"Wow!" Zhu An Yong cried.

Luo Xuyan stroked her chest, looking scared, "I saw the black shadow rushing over, and I subconsciously dodged it, I didn't know that it was Young Master Sun of my aunt's mother's family." ”

Zhu Ying was just about to teach a lesson, and saw clearly that the person next to Luo Xuyan was really Zhao Ying, so she hurriedly asked the little girl to drag Zhu Anyong down, "...... Find a doctor to see, today is my mother's birthday, don't make a lot of noise here. ”

Mrs. Xu, who has always loved Zhu Anyong, saw Zhao Ying, and immediately forgot Zhu Anyong, who was knocked with blood in her mouth, and smiled with a wrinkled face, "Zhao Gongzi, you can be regarded as here." ”

Luo Xuyan said: "Grandmother, Zhao Gongzi has a lot of things to do in the yamen, so I came in a hurry today and didn't bring a gift, please forgive me." ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Mrs. Xu walked over in person and looked at Zhao Ying, "I haven't seen him for a few years, Zhao Gongzi's appearance has become more and more handsome, and now he is doing things in front of the assassin history, which is really promising." ”

"Mrs. Xu, I wish you happiness like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan." Zhao Ying arched her hand, and then said modestly: "You have won the award, so you can only do some miscellaneous things for the time being." ”

Mrs. Xu was overjoyed to see this future grandson-in-law, took his hand, sat down at the table, and instructed the housekeeper: "Add a few more dishes, Zhao Gongzi, what do you like to eat?" Say, "I'll have someone do it for you." ”

Seeing that the two of them were busy talking, Xu Yaoyao pulled Luo Xuyan's sleeve and asked uneasily, "Why did you bring Zhao Gongzi home?" ”

Luo Xuyan said: "Du Cheng of the state yamen died, and asked me to clean up, and I happened to meet Zhao Gongzi, and he wanted to send me back." ”

"......" Xu Yaoyao didn't know what to accuse, and looked at Luo Banghao worriedly.

He was very calm and refilled the teacup in front of her.

Xu Yaoyao said: "You say, did he do it on purpose?" ”

"You don't have time to talk to us today, so let's eat." Luo Banghao said calmly.

Luo Xuyan looked at Zhao Ying, he was pulled by his grandmother, kept talking, and couldn't stop for a moment, and his uncle knew that this "nephew and son-in-law" was doing things in the yamen, so he also came up to talk, and the newly cooked meal was served as soon as it entered Zhao Ying's bowl.

Zhao Ying looked at her with a bit of pleading, Luo Xuyan shrugged her shoulders with a smile, and turned to go out.
