"Now that the busy farming season is over, what can Du Niangzi's family do?" Minser said with a smile.

"I didn't return overnight, and my family must be in a hurry."

"Don't worry, Mrs. Du, I already told the person who came to pick you up yesterday that there is something wrong with the embroidery village, and you can't go back for the time being." Minse was very thoughtful.

Du Ruo didn't want to be too eager to let people see that he wanted to leave the embroidery village quickly, so he had to express his gratitude again and sit down to eat.

Meng Xiuwen ran around the table for half a circle, climbed onto the stool next to her and sat down, turned his head to her and said, "Starving, Du Ruo, are you hungry?" ”

"I'm not very hungry." Du Ruo smiled and handed him the chopsticks in his hand, and took another pair himself.

Minse looked at them, and then ordered his subordinates to withdraw, "You two eat here, I'll go and do some things first, and after eating, you can walk around the village." ”

When Ming Se also left, Meng Xiuwen turned his head and looked at her happily and said, "Where are we going to play after dinner?" ”

"I'm going home after eating, I can't play with you, young master." Du Ruo said.

"I don't want you to go, let's go play football, okay?"

"Another day, I really can't do it today."

"Alas......" he put down his chopsticks and sighed, holding his chin in both hands and looking at the table, his small body seemed to carry too much sorrow.

Du Ruo smiled helplessly, "Children can't always sigh, they won't grow tall." ”

He turned his face to her, raised his head, and continued to say sadly: "Anyway, no matter how tall I grow, my mother can't see ......."

"Your mother will be back sooner or later."

"Maybe my dad is lying to me again this time! What do you say? ”

"I ...... I don't know anything. ”

She ate a few bites of food, and persuaded Meng Xiuwen, who was sitting on the side: "Hurry up and eat a few bites, and you can send me out of Xiuzhuang later, okay?" ”

He held his face and looked at her without speaking.

Du Ruo sighed, "Then I'll go out by myself." ”

He put down his arm, picked up the chopsticks in front of him, and said with an unhappy face: "Okay, then I'll send you." ”

After eating, Du Ruo didn't see Mingse's figure again.

She was anxious in her heart, but she could only pretend to be calm, and Meng Xiuwen and the two walked slowly from the residence to the gate of the embroidery village. Meng Xiuwen was happy again, and kept talking to her all the time.

"Daddy has been very busy these two days, and I rarely see him!"

"Aunt Minse is also very busy, I only see her twice a day!"

"I'll be six years old in a few days! Daddy said that my mother will accompany me for my birthday this year! ”

After being reminded by him, Du Ruo suddenly remembered that he had planned to buy him a birthday gift, but that time she was only looking at those expensive utensils and jewelry in the honeysuckle building, and she couldn't afford anything in it.

"What are you giving me?" He asked, looking up.

"Hmm...... Know in advance what someone is going to give, and you won't have a surprise on your birthday. ”

"Then don't tell me yet!"

The two walked while talking, and finally arrived at the gate of Xiuzhuang, Du Ruo stopped and said to him: "Okay, I'm leaving, thank you young master for sending me!" ”

"Then be careful on the road!" He let go of his grip on the hem of her skirt and watched her walk outside.

Du Ruo waved at him and walked out of the embroidery village.

When she got outside, she walked some distance, glanced back, and quickened her pace again.

What happened last night happened to be seen by her, and it seemed that there was still a murder; She was arranged to stay in the late Mrs. Meng's room last night.

Both of these things are scary to think about.

Du Ruo went to Zongheng Study first, and when Boss Huang saw her coming, he hurriedly invited her in. Huan Qian brought her tea, stood next to her and smiled and wanted to say a few words to her, but was impatiently waved by Boss Huang, "Go, go!" 'Driven away.

"I thought that Du Niangzi should also come in the past two days, last time you had that good idea, I found some restaurants and tea sheds, let the guys in it shout and drink, and sold a lot of books."

Boss Huang opened the cabinet door and counted out two taels of silver from it to her, "I wonder if Du Niangzi has any other ideas to make money?" ”

"Not yet." Du Ruo smiled and shook his head.

What she is thinking about now is, should she go to the government to report the case?

But the Meng family has a lot of money, and Meng Yuanzhou and Wu Dajiang have a relationship, even if someone is really dead in the village, the yamen may turn a blind eye. People like Wu Dajiang not only blame her for being troublesome, but also suppress the matter, so that she doesn't have to get into trouble.

Ask yourself, the Meng family is also very good to her.

She struggled for a while, and decided to go home after coming out of the study.

When I came back from Gunan Town, the courtyard door of my house was open, Du Ruo pushed the door in, there was no one in the yard, and no one in the house spoke.

She looked at both rooms, Father Song was lying on the bed in the hall and fell asleep, Cai's was not there, and Song Ju'an was not there. There were rabbits in the hedge, the chickens roaming freely inside and outside the yard gates, and the cows lying under the sheds without a single hay in them.

Du Ruo was very puzzled, what was going on at home today? And for such a big event that she didn't return overnight, shouldn't Cai have waited for her to come back and tear her up?

Du Ruo walked out of the house again and searched around the house, but there was still no one. When she came back, she saw Mrs. Wang standing at her door.

When Mrs. Wang saw her, she hurriedly walked over here, "Rulan! Your mother-in-law went to Jinhua's house yesterday! Don't look for it! ”

Du Ruo was a little surprised, since Father Song was sick and bedridden, Cai's stayed at home and hardly walked past relatives, how could she go to her eldest daughter's house?

She nodded.

Mrs. Wang inquired again: "Ju'an is also back, right?" You two didn't come back yesterday after dark, where did you go? ”

Du Ruo was even more surprised, Song Ju'an didn't come back last night?! That co-authored from yesterday to now, there is only Daddy Song in the house?!

Mrs. Wang added: "The family is really big-hearted! Your mother-in-law has to go, who knows that you two haven't come back either, I'm staring at it! Thinking that Lao Song didn't eat, he sent him two meals! ”

The tone was reproachful, as if he was asking for credit.

Du Ruo hurriedly thanked him.

"Okay, I'm relieved that you're back, I'm back!" Mrs. Wang raised her feet and walked slowly towards home.

Du Ruoxin said, wouldn't it be that no one in the family knew that she hadn't returned overnight?

She went back to the house and washed the dirty clothes she had changed, cleaned the house again, and was bending down to sweep the floor of the West House when Song Juan pushed open the door and walked in.

After only a day of not seeing him, Du Ruo found that his whole person was showing fatigue.

"You're back?" Du Ruo asked.

"Hmm." He nodded, and when he saw her, he seemed relieved.

When he walked to the chair and sat down, he said, "Yesterday, there was something on the county government's side, and Lord Wu left me behind, and I didn't have time to come back to tell you, which made you and your mother worried." ”

"Hmm......" Du Ruo nodded weakly, thought about it, and told him the truth: "I didn't come back yesterday." ”

He looked up in surprise, "Where have you been?" ”

"There was something in the embroidery village, and I was left behind, and I didn't go home for long." Du Ruo said.

His expression suddenly became complicated, his eyes narrowed slightly, he leaned back in his chair and asked, "Did they embarrass you?" ”

Du Ruo shook her head, his reaction was not quite what she imagined.

"That's good." He said, "There is something wrong with Yunshui Embroidery Village now, the government is investigating, don't go tomorrow." ”

Du Ruo was taken aback, and hurriedly walked to the stool opposite him and sat down, "What happened to Xiuzhuang?" ”

"I don't know, the government is investigating." He took one of her hands and held it and placed it on the table.

"It just so happened that I saw something in Xiuzhuang, and I almost went to report to the official......"

Du Ruo quickly told Song Ju'an what he saw in Xiuzhuang.

When she narrated, Song Ju'an didn't seem to react much except that his eyes were cold.

When she finished, "You said, Meng Yuanzhou personally sent you back to your residence?" He watched as her expression changed, and his voice was not angry.

"Uh......" Du Ruo had to tell him some bad things that happened to him, and said: "If I hadn't heard the subordinates guarding the door talk about Mrs. Meng, I wouldn't have been so scared, and I ran out and crashed into the fight at night." Later, when I went back, nothing happened, but I decided not to go to the embroidery village again. ”

Song Ju'an's eyes were gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "It's really unreasonable. ”

"The yamen is investigating some things, do you think about what strange things you have seen in the embroidery village?" He asked again.

"Strange Things......"

"Like, unusual, weird." He prompted.

Du Ruo thought for a while, and then said: "I heard Zhou Ning's mother-in-law say that Meng Yuanzhou was not good to his wife, but now I conclude that it is indeed not good, and it is all pretending to be affectionate." There are other ...... The person who broke into Xiuzhuang didn't know if it was the same person who broke in with the heavy rain last time, by the way, the Meng family had a relationship with Wei Guogong. ”

"How do you know?"

"I saw a letter addressed to Wei Guogong in Meng Yuanzhou's study."

"How did you get into his study?" He questioned as he stared into her eyes.

"Uh...... To tell you the truth, the little master in the village likes to play with me, and he wrote a letter to his mother, didn't Miss Mingse ask me to reply, and I accidentally saw it when I sent the letter. ”

He sneered, she was like a fish in water in Xiuzhuang, so what she said earlier about how hard she worked was false?

"Anything else?" He asked again with a calm face.

Du Ruo pondered and meditated, and after a while, he said: "I heard that Meng Ye will get married in a short time and marry the boss who is full of honeysuckle. ”

"That's fun!" A sneer flashed in the corner of his eyes, and he thought that Meng Yuanzhou wanted to take away his wife, "Is there anything else?" ”

She tapped her head with her other hand, and Song Ju'an suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand, which was also placed on the table, waiting for her to answer.

"There shouldn't be any, and I can't remember it for a while." Du Ruo said.

He thought for a moment, then looked at her and said, "The correspondence between the Meng family and the Duke of Wei is very important evidence, and it is very difficult to get it. ”

She nodded, and suddenly remembered something: "I once painted on the edge of the bamboo forest in Xiuzhuang, and when I walked a distance inside, I heard the sound of striking iron, and later found that the end of the bamboo forest was a mountain. ”

"Drawing?"

"It's not...... It is an embroidery sample, a tailoring embroidery sample. ”

He smiled, didn't ask any more, stood up and walked to her side, and said, "You can stay at home these days, Xiuzhuang won't go, I will go to the county government again later." ”

"Hmm."

He stood behind her, put his hand on her shoulder, leaned down and whispered in her ear, "I may not be back tonight." ”

"Oh......"
