Chapter 241: Eavesdropping Under the Window (5)

"Love โ™‚ รท small? Say โ†’', provide you with wonderful novels to read.

"Then why are you here to eat?"

"Brother Kou invited me here, I think he probably wanted to alleviate this unpleasantness between us, and I didn't want to be stiff with him all the time, so I came, but who knows, alas!"

Li Guanyu lowered his head and sighed, looking worried.

Nie Xiaohu stared at Li Guanyu's eyes and looked at it for about half a pillar of incense, then he waved his hand and said, "You go down first, little stone!" โ€

"Tiger Head!" , Shi Yuning pushed the door and walked in.

"Send Li Yuan out and call Mrs. Kou up!"

"My lord, if you have anything to say, just ask the old man", Yang said after sitting down, sobbing, the grief on his face undiminished.

"Mrs. Kou, how do you and Kou Yuanwai get along with each other on weekdays?"

"Back to my lord, my lord and I are usually husband and wife love and respect each other, but now that he has been killed, I don't want to live anymore!" After speaking, Yang hid his face and cried.

After waiting for a while, Nie Xiaohu then asked, "You are all so old, and you have never given birth, can you say that there is no complaint outside the Kou Yuan?" โ€

"No", Yang stopped his grief, wiped his tears with his sleeve, and shook his head.

"Master, he is kind-hearted, although I have never given birth to a son and a half daughter, but he has never complained, and I have also persuaded him to marry another concubine, so as to open up branches and leaves for the Kou family, and pass on the lineage, but he insisted on refusing, saying that if he has no children in his life, he will never force it, and I have to do it."

"Hmm!"

Nie Xiaohu nodded, and then asked, "Is your righteous daughter, Miss Shangguan, already married?" โ€

"Unmarried," Yang shook his head.

"That ......"

Nie Xiaohu hesitated slightly, and seemed to ask with some difficulty: "Is Miss Shangguan already ......?"

"My lord, how do you know? The ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and the old man has never talked about this matter to anyone", Yang looked at Nie Xiaohu with puzzled eyes.

"So I guessed right?"

Yang nodded silently.

"Do you know who that man is?"

"My lord, can you keep this matter a secret? My lord has just left, and I don't want his reputation to be damaged. โ€

"This is natural!" , Nie Xiaohu nodded in response.

"It's Xingdong!"

"Deng Xingdong? Your adopted son? Nie Xiaohu's eyes suddenly widened in surprise.

"Yes."

Nie Xiaohu and Cao Xiaohui glanced at each other, and the two shrugged their shoulders in unison.

"Alas! None of us expected the two of them to do such a thing, and the old man was furious about it. โ€

"Did you do anything outside of the Kou?"

"No, although the master is very angry, he also feels sorry for these two children, in order not to damage their reputation, the master is planning to prepare for their marriage."

"Do they know? I'm talking about getting married to them. โ€

"I shouldn't know yet, the master didn't tell them, and he told me not to say it, saying that he wanted to surprise them."

"Hmm", Nie Xiaohu nodded.

"Madam, how did Deng Xingdong get hurt? I've seen that he must have been injured not long ago. โ€

"That's the case", the Yang family told the story of Shangguan Yu shooting and injuring Deng Xingdong.

After listening to Yang's story, Nie Xiaohu thought for a while, and then asked, "So you only came here at noon today?" โ€

"Yes, sir."

"Where's that crossbow now?"

"It's in a red wooden box in the locker."

"Little stone!"

"Tiger Head!" , Shi Yuning pushed the door and walked in.

"You go to the locker and get a crossbow in a red wooden chest."

"Understood!"

"Mrs. Kou, what happened in the period from Shangguan Yu shooting Deng Xingdong to Li Guanyu's arrival?"

"Madam", Yang was just about to speak, but Nie Xiaohu interrupted her with a wave of his hand, "You'd better think about it carefully first, and don't miss any details!" โ€

"Okay", Yang nodded, lowered his head and frowned in thought.

"Tiger head, the bow and crossbow are here!"

Shi Yuning pushed the door and walked in, placing a small black bow and crossbow on the table in front of Nie Xiaohu, and there was also an arrow bag with four black feather arrows in it.

Nie Xiaohu picked up the bow and crossbow and looked at it, it was all wooden, painted black, firing one feather arrow at a time, the workmanship was quite exquisite, and the wooden handle was engraved with the word "Kou".

Nie Xiaohu took out another feather arrow from the quiver sac, from the arrow cluster to the tail feathers, all painted black, and there was a small "Kou" character engraved near the tail feather on the arrow shaft, obviously the bow and crossbow and feather arrows were specially customized.

After recalling the time of a pillar of incense, Yang said slowly: "After returning from the woods, the lord and Shunzi helped Xingdong back to his own room, and Yu'er kept crying in his room, and when I was standing at the door of Yu'er's room thinking about how to go in to comfort her, the master walked out of Xingdong's room, came to me and said to me that Li Yuanwai was coming to dinner, and asked me to arrange for Wang Ma to prepare early."

Then Yu'er walked out of the room and told me that she wanted to see Xingdong, I think she hurt Xingdong on impulse, and now she must regret it, and want to make up for her mistakes. Then I went downstairs and told Wang Ma to cook a few more dishes, and not long after Li Yuanwai and her wife came. โ€

"Isn't there anything missing?" , Nie Xiaohu asked while thinking.

"Nope."

"There's another question, Mrs. Kou, as far as you know, does Junzi have any holidays with Kou?"

"Junko?"

Yang frowned slightly and thought about it, "The master and him shouldn't have any holidays, oh, that's right!" โ€

Yang Shi seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly continued: "The day before yesterday, the lord asked Shunzi to buy some of his favorite tea, but after Shunzi bought it, he reported an extra two dollars of silver to the account office, which made the lord find out, and reprimanded him, and fined him for ten days' monthly money, I don't know if this is considered a festival?"
