Seeing that Lin Boqin had a lot of affairs, it was not easy for Chu Cheng to continue to stay.

The sky is getting dark, and Chu Cheng and Wen Lanxin are going back.

As soon as I left the gate of the county government, I heard someone shouting behind me: "Stay!" ”

Chu Cheng looked back, but it was Fang Shuangping who was chasing after him quickly.

"Fang Xiancheng's affairs are all done?"

Fang Shuangping scratched his head embarrassedly: "No." It's just that now the case of the flower thief has made people panic, and now it is getting late, and Mrs. Lin and my cousin are still not safe when they go back, so I can personally escort you to feel at ease. ”

Wen Lanxin couldn't help but smile: "Cousin, you just like to think nonsense, this is in the county, how can it be so easy to meet flower thieves." ”

Fang Shuangping didn't have the intention of joking, he said with a straight face: "That's not an ordinary flower thief, he is a ruthless murderer who has lost his conscience." ”

Chu Ji thought of Du Jiaojiao's tragic situation, and bowed her head: "You should pay attention." ”

The three of them chatted as they walked back.

Chu Cheng thought of the Song Zhihe he saw in the detention today, and sighed: "Since there is another murder in Qin'an County, it can basically be concluded that Song Zhihe is not the one who killed Du Jiaojiao." In my opinion, as long as you catch the driver who drove that day, you can catch the murderer. ”

Fang Shuangping nodded: "I think so too, but there are too many coachmen in Niuzikou, and investigating them one by one is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack." Not to mention ......"

"What's more?"

"What's more, adults don't believe that Song Zhihe is telling the truth."

This surprised Chu Hui, and she frowned: "Lin Boqin is very suspicious. ”

Fang Shuangping smiled bitterly: "Madam, you don't know anything, as long as the adults don't find out the real murderer and convict the case, he will suspect anyone." Even if Zhang San stole the duck of Li Si's family, he had to ponder it several times, for fear of misjudgment. ”

Chu Ji couldn't help but laugh when she thought of Lin Boqin's serious investigation of the case of stealing chickens and dogs.

This is really in line with Lin Boqin's style of acting.

At this time, Wen Lanxin interjected in a low voice: "It's really sad to think of those dead girls. ”

Fang Shuangping let out a "hey" and said with emotion: "It's not, it's a pity that he died at a young age." ”

Wen Lanxin lowered her eyebrows and said sadly: "Life is so beautiful, no matter what you encounter, you can't give up the hope of life." How desperate and sad it must have been when those women were killed......"

Fang Shuangping looked at Wen Lanxin with a gentle gaze: "Cousin, you are still as kind as when you were a child." Wen Lanxin smiled slightly, and looked up at him: "Cousin, you are still as sweet as when you were a child." ”

Chu Cheng noticed the content of their conversation and asked curiously, "You have known each other since childhood?" ”

Wen Lanxin nodded: "At that time, my uncle and aunt lived across the door from my house, and the first companion I met was my cousin. Speaking of the child, Wen Lan's eyes lit up, "Siniang, you don't know, my cousin is the best for me." Once I wanted a paper kite, but there was no merchant in the village to sell it, so my cousin spent three days and three nights making it for me. The shape of the swallow, and the names of both of us are written on the wings! We went to the hillside to put paper kites together, but I accidentally fell and broke my leg, but it hurt badly. My cousin was only ten years old at the time, and he carried me back to the village in a daze, and all my shoes were worn out......"

Wen Lanxin narrated, and Fang Shuangping looked at her and smiled.

"You remember it clearly."

Wen Lanxin raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes were shining: "My cousin is good to me, Lan Xin has always remembered it." ”

Unknowingly, when she arrived outside the Deng family in Shuangyun Lane, Wen Lan said in her heart: "I'm home." ”

Just when a soft sedan car stopped, a young man with a low stature and a plain-looking appearance came out of it.

When he saw Wen Lanxin, he hurriedly said, "Lanxin." ”

Wen Lanxin turned around and looked at it, with a bright smile on her face: "Husband, you have come back from the Silk Village." She pulled Deng Shi and introduced: "This is Mrs. Lin, Siniang, this is my husband, Deng Changning." ”

Deng Changning was a little straightforward, seeing Chu Cheng's beauty, he didn't dare to look directly, and his eyes fell on Fang Shuangping dodgingly: "My cousin is also there." ”

Fang Shuangping nodded politely: "Cousin-in-law." ”

After a few brief greetings, they each left, and Fang Shuangping sent Chu Cheng to Lin's house, and then went to the county office.

***

That night, Lin Boqin did not return.

Chu Cheng was bored staying at Lin's house, so she boiled another bowl of sweet soup and prepared to bring it to Lin Boqin.

Xi Du and Mabi on the side couldn't help pinching their noses: "Madam, can Lord Lin really drink this?" ”

Chu Cheng waved her hand helplessly: "But I can only make sweet soup." ”

Mao Bi said: "I heard other people say that adults never eat sweet ......."

"But yesterday I fed him, and he ate it." Even if you only eat one bite, it counts as eating. Chu Cheng didn't cook it indiscriminately this time, she didn't use white radish, but sweet pears. There is a dish of imperial food in the palace that does this, boiling tang pears with the snow water of Kunlun Mountain, adding snow clams and rock sugar, and then filling it with ice in summer, which is very delicious.

Chu Cheng scooped a bite with a spoon, smashed his mouth and tasted it, and the sweetness was overflowing.

She nodded with satisfaction, "Very good." ”

The most delicious taste in the world is sweetness, how could Lin Boqin not like it.

Chu Mingmei put on the food box and drove to the county office.

However, this time she met Ye Fangxuan.

At that time, the two officials were carrying knives to block Ye Fangxuan's maid Qingmei, Ye Fangxuan was standing aside and playing a fan, looking bad.

Qingmei jumped there anxiously: "Get out of the way!" Do you know who my girl is, but she's Lord Lin's cousin! Cousin! We brought him food, and you dared to stop me, did you not want to live? ”

One of the officials had sharp eyes, saw Chu Cheng, and hurriedly shouted as if he had seen a savior: "Madam, Madam!" Come and take care of it, this, this cousin of Lord Lin has to enter the county office. But the adults have already ordered her not to enter ......."

"Nonsense!" Ome is still there to refute.

Ye Fangxuan saw a woman holding an ink-colored paper umbrella, carrying a food box, walking here from the sun in a slender posture.

Obviously, she was just wearing an ordinary light blue Luo skirt, but for some reason, Ye Fangxuan felt that the other party was unspeakably expensive. The woman walked to the shade of the gate, put away the umbrella, and lifted a delicate face with pink cheeks.

Ye Fangxuan couldn't help but say, "Who are you?" ”

Chu Cheng actually has no hostility towards Ye Fangxuan, whether Ye Fangxuan wants to hook up with Lin Boqin or become a wife, she doesn't want to care. It's a pity that this woman is too annoying, making up the past with Lin Boqin, and deliberately telling her to make people look down. If Ye Fangxuan generously told her that she liked Lin Boqin, maybe Chu Cheng would have a good impression of her.

Chu Cheng pinned her broken hair to her ear and revealed a soft and bright smile: "You are my husband's cousin, Miss Ye Fangxuan, right?" I heard my husband mention you before, saying that your family moved to Qingyuan County after a big flood last year, oops, I don't know if your family is okay? ”

Ye Fangxuan didn't expect Lin Boqin to take the initiative to say this to Chu Hui, she was stunned for a moment before replying, "It's all fine." ”

"So my cousin will be relieved." Chu Cheng smiled.

Ye Fangxuan stared at Chu Cheng in disbelief, still very suspicious and asked, "...... You are a widow who married from Yunzhou...... Cousin-in-law? ”

Chu Cheng nodded: "Yes." She looked at the sky and said, "I won't talk to my cousin anymore, my husband is still waiting for me to deliver sweet soup." ”

When Ye Fangxuan heard this, she immediately came back to her senses and frowned: "My cousin never eats sweets. ”

"That's because he didn't meet me." Chu Hui's feet that had just crossed the threshold were withdrawn, and she looked back at Ye Fangxuan and said, "He drank all the sweet soup I made for him yesterday." ”

"You talk nonsense...... This is absolutely impossible. I used to make him sweets and he didn't eat a single bite. ”

"How can this outsider do the same thing as his wife?" After Chu Cheng said this with a smile, Ye Fangxuan's face turned pale.

No matter how stupid she is, she can still hear the ridicule in Chu Hui's words.

But she didn't expect that Li Siniang from Yunzhou would be so beautiful, she originally thought that she was old and ugly, and Lin Boqin would never care about it, but when she saw it today, Ye Fangxuan was shaken. Seeing Chu Hui's back going farther and farther, Ye Fangxuan said unwillingly: "My cousin likes my cousin, it's right!" Why are you sarcastic about me! ”

Chu Cheng didn't look back, she rolled her eyes, what bullshit.

Lin Boqin was in the study.

Chu Cheng pushed the door and entered, and found that he was asleep on the bookcase.

The documents were a little scattered on the table, Lin Boqin's official hat was resting aside, and the tip of the brush on the inkstone was still a little wet, presumably not long asleep.

Chu Cheng gently put down the food box, tiptoed to him, carefully looked at Lin Boqin's eyebrows, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that he was handsome.

Hey, why didn't she see a man with better skin than him in the palace?

If Chen Yu'an, the son of Master Chen, is also so pleasing to the eye, maybe she will make do with it and not run away from marriage.

Chu Cheng was sighing, but found that Lin Boqin's elbow was pressing the paper.

She raised her hand and gently pulled out the paper, and looked at it intently, and it was a few female autopsy certificates.

"Leng Qiuyue, a native of Qushui, Qin'an County. On July 16, the 25th year of Yeping, it was found in the woods of the east gate at three o'clock, lying on his side. He was 5 feet 1 inch long, his hair was 2 feet 2 inches long, his feet were 8 inches long, he had an abrasion on his left forehead, blood barriers on his back, chest and abdomen, and a bruise on his finger marks on his neck, and the fatal wound was suffocation of the mouth and nose...... Yang Jia, a native of Peihong Village, Fengshui County. At noon on July 8, the 25th year of Yeping, he was found next to the dry well in Peihong Village, lying on his back. He was five feet three inches long, his hair was three feet long, and his feet were nine inches long...... The fatal injury was suffocation of the mouth and nose. Du Jiaojiao, a native of Qingyuan County......"

As soon as Chu Ji finished browsing, he saw Lin Boqin waking up.

He saw that Chu Cheng was a little stunned, and frowned: "Why are you here?" ”

Chu Cheng put the corpse in the grid, and said angrily: "What? Afraid that I will ruin the good things of you and Ye Fangxuan? ”

Lin Boqin said unhappily: "Good manner, what are you mentioning her for?" ”

"Do you think I want to mention it?" Chu Cheng snorted coldly, "I just came to bring you pear soup, and I met her at the yamen." They made you stir-fried lotus root, and the white roasted pork was delicious. ”

Lin Boqin paused: "I have ordered the officials to stop her. ”

Thinking of Ye Fangxuan eating there in the summer, Chu Cheng couldn't help but laugh.

She said sourly: "People's delicate little girl, you stopped outside, this will make your son's sun so poisonous, don't suffer from heat stroke." Lin Boqin took out the corpse compartment from her hand and folded it carefully: "That's her business." ”

"Tsk, I really don't pity the jade."

Chu Cheng saw that there was no stool to sit on in the study, so she simply supported her hands and sat on the side of the bookcase.

Lin Boqin saw that she had no rules, frowned and said, "As a woman, how can you be so rude, come down quickly." ”

Chu Cheng cupped her cheeks and winked at him innocently: "There is no place to sit here, I will bring you pear soup from afar, your feet hurt so much." Speaking of this, Chu Cheng teased her mind, and her eyes wandered over Lin Boqin, "Ah...... Could it be that the husband wants me to sit on your lap? ”

Lin Boqin: "......"

Sure enough, every time I heard Chu Cheng call him "husband", he couldn't say anything good.
