Chapter 44: You Can't Be Together
"By the way, Brother Gao, you can help me take a leave of absence from Lord Yang tomorrow, and I will help He Ning deal with her father's afterlife."
"Okay" Gao Han happily agreed, "She is a girl who is lonely and helpless in Taoyuan County, you can help more." ”
Xue Dabao nodded solemnly.
"Ji Xia, let's go ask Master Qian's former friends tomorrow," Gao Han proposed, "I think, his 'true love' can't come out of nowhere, right?" ”
Xue Dabao on the side was confused: "What kind of money master, what 'true love', what are you talking about, why can't I understand a word?" Didn't you go to find out about He Ning's father? ”
Ji Xia concisely told Xue Dabao what happened on Baoshan.
After hearing this, Xue Dabao beat his chest, was very annoyed, and blamed himself: "It's all my fault!" I didn't inspect the railing of the lookout pavilion carefully! ”
Gao Han patted him on the shoulder and said with relief: "It's the murderer who is too cunning!" When you saw Master Qian fall off the cliff with your own eyes, it was naturally preconceived, and it was not surprising that you didn't take it into account. ”
Xue Dabao was still sullen, "If I be careful...... At the end of the day, it's me who overlooked. Thankfully, you caught it in time and helped me fix it. ”
"The most important thing now is to help He Ning deal with her father's aftermath first, and then find out the murderers who killed Qian Mosheng and Rong Gui!"
Xue Dabao nodded in agreement.
"It's not too early, Dabao and I should go back too, you should rest early."
Ji Xia smiled and said, "Okay." ”
The next day, early in the morning, Gao Han and Ji Xia visited Qian Mosheng's former friends and business partners, but found nothing.
Ji Xia gloomily picked up the green onions in the noodle bowl, "No one knows who the 'true love' in Qian Mosheng's mouth is, as if this person has never existed at all." ”
Gao Han also frowned deeply, and said, "Could it be that Wen Qing deliberately fabricated a person who came out?" ”
"If that's the case, then what does she want?" Is it deliberately to make fun of them?
"Master, Big Brother Gao!" Xue Dabao and He Ning had just finished Rong Gui's posthumous affairs, and on the way home, they saw Ji Xia and Gao Han with sad faces.
Xue Dabao sat on the stool next to him, and Rong He greeted the two with a faint smile.
Ji Xia noticed that Rong Hening was dressed in white plain clothes today, and only a green silk hairpin was tied with an eight-treasure jade butterfly hairpin on her head.
The crystal clear jade is dotted with a fluttering butterfly, making the originally dull green more playful. Such a style has never been seen in Ji Xia.
"Your hairpin is exquisite."
Rong Hening's expression was a little sad, "This hairpin is my mother's beloved thing." ”
"I'm sorry to bring up your sadness." Ji Xia regretted it a little.
He Ning didn't care, and said quietly: "Actually, it's not valuable." This hairpin implies my mother's name, so she cherishes it extraordinarily. No matter how much my father begged her, she wouldn't sell it. ”
Xue Dabao saw that He Ning recalled the past, his apricot eyes were sparkling, and he was almost about to cry, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and hurriedly relieved: "Your mother definitely doesn't want you to be sad." ”
"Yes, I'm tired after a busy morning, let's sit down and eat something together."
Rong Hening shook his head, "Thank you for your kindness, I still have to rush back to the Qian family to do something." ”
With that, she hurried away.
The three of them ate Yangchun noodles with their own hearts.
Suddenly, Ji Xia had a flash of inspiration and asked Xue Dabao: "Do you know what He Ning's mother's name is?" ”
Ji Xia asked abruptly, which made Xue Dabao suddenly a little "confused", he thought for a while, and said, "It seems to be called a butterfly." ”
"Jiang Caidie!" Gao Han and Ji Xia blurted out in unison.
"yes, how do you two know?"
Ji Xia suddenly felt five thunderbolts, and she tried her best to keep calm.
It turned out that Aunt Zhao, Wen Qing, and Mrs. Qian, none of the three of them were lying, and the "true love" reincarnated in Qian Mosheng's mouth was indeed someone else, and it was Jiang Caidie's daughter, Rong Hening.
"Then could she be ......" Gao Han hesitated, not knowing how to speak.
Ji Xia suddenly remembered the night Rong Gui died, the scene where Rong He was leaning on Qian Zhixuan's arms, and an ominous premonition came to his heart......
"Do you know when Rong Hening was born?" Ji Xia said in a deep voice.
Xue Dabao looked at Ji Xia with a serious face, although he didn't know what was going on, his heart couldn't help but tighten, and he thought seriously and replied: "He Ning She is two years younger than me, I remember that she said that she was born when the peach blossoms were in full bloom, so she should have been born in March of the year of Ding Mao." ”
As soon as the words fell, Ji Xia rushed out, leaving Xue Dabao looking at Gao Han at a loss with a shocked expression, "Brother Gao, what's wrong with my master?" ”
Gao Han looked at Ji Xia's bowl of Yangchun noodles that hadn't been touched much, sighed and said, "She is in a hurry to verify one thing." ”
Ji Xia hurriedly ran to Qian's house and saw Mrs. Qian.
Mrs. Qian was surprised by Ji Xia's arrival, and couldn't help but straighten up and asked, "My lord is here, is there any progress in my master's case?" ”
Ji Xia gasped and said, "Not yet." But I have something important to ask Madame. ”
"Oh?" Mrs. Qian was interested, and it had nothing to do with the death of Master Qian, but she came in a hurry, presumably this matter was not light.
"May I ask Madame, do you remember Jiang Caidie, when was she driven away by Mrs. Qian?"
After thinking about it for a while, Mrs. Qian muttered: "I haven't entered the door yet, but I heard the old man mention that Jiang Caidie was driven away when Zhixuan was just two years old, and it should be ......."
"Bingyin year." Ji Xia asked tentatively.
"Yes, it is the year of Bingyin, and Zhixuan was born in early October, so Jiang Caidie should have been driven away in October of the year of Bingyin."
"October ...... of the Year of Bingyin," Ji Xia silently calculated the time. She was almost sure that He Ning was Qian Mosheng's daughter!
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency?"
Ji Xia woke up like a dream, "Huh? ”
"Dare to ask your lordship, what is the purpose of asking this?"
"Oh, it's just that there are some milestones that need to be determined. Madame don't have to take it too seriously. Ji Xia bowed to Mrs. Qian's Yingying, expressed her gratitude, and then prepared to leave the Qian family.
As soon as he walked a few steps, he met Gao Han and Xue Dabao who came over, and the three of them returned side by side.
"Got a conclusion?"
Ji Xia nodded and was silent. Xue Dabao saw that the atmosphere was solid, and although he was very curious in his heart, he didn't dare to say more.
