Shen Guangdong thought about it and shook his head.

"This person behaves well, has a basis for advancing and retreating, is not rigid in small things, is quite humble and gentlemanly and shows off in others, and is very respected on the twelfth floor."

Fu Jiuqu smiled.

There was no emotion under the calm face, but Shen Guangdong sensed displeasure.

He didn't like to listen to Kuayudu's words.

Shen Guangdong hesitated for a moment, and said with a smile: "Yu Du didn't find any problems, but his mother gave people a sneaky feeling of hiding her head and showing her tail."

Fu Jiuqu looked at him, "Did you find anything?"

Shen Guangdong touched his beard and squinted slowly.

"This Yu family is a loner, except for Yu Du and Yu Mei, he never sees anyone, and rarely interacts with his neighbors, almost never leaves Mill Lane, and wanders around his home all day long. But she was very cautious, she would go out and lock it carefully, sprinkle the corners of the courtyard with incense ashes, and when she got home, she would not rush to open the door, but would sit under the eaves and watch, waiting at least a quarter of an hour before entering the house......

He paused, his brow furrowed.

"Also, the soap horn in Yu's back basket has never been shot. First, the mill lane is remote and few people care. Second, even if someone came forward to ask for the price, she ignored it and didn't raise her head, obviously not selling it with her intention ......

Speaking of this, he glanced at Fu Jiuqu slightly.

"In these days, the only person she has spoken to is the princess's maid."

A woman who was deeply burned to the point of disfigurement, and was burdened with such a case, it is not strange that she does not dare to be an upright person, but it is blamed on her actions, which makes people have to be suspicious.

Fu Jiuqu said: "Calm down, don't see the rabbit and don't scatter the eagle."

Shen Guangdong arched his hand, "I understand my humble duties."

Seeing that Fu Jiuqu was no longer silent, Shen Guangdong said again: "There is a performance on the twelfth floor tonight, prepared for the half-year festival, Yudu will be on stage with Legong, can the king of the county be interested in going together?"

Fu Jiuqu: "No need. You send men to look after them, and you will report something."

Shen Guangdong nodded in response.

He also said: "The humble post actually wants to take this opportunity to enter the Yu family in Mill Lane and explore the truth."

There is no Yudu at home, one less eye and ear, and the timing is just right.

Fu Jiuqu grasped this case very tightly, Shen Guangdong thought that he would not refuse, but unexpectedly, Fu Jiuqu groaned for a while, but still shook his head.

"I have something important to do tonight. You can arrange it, and don't startle the snake......

Shen Guangdong glanced at Fu Jiuqu's suddenly ambiguous expression, and slowly arched his hand.

"Yes."

··

At this time of year, the heat is overflowing, as if the whole city is about to melt.

At the corner of Mill Lane, an old locust tree is blooming in a desperate way, shielded from the scorching sun, and its white buds exude a sweet fragrance, covering the alley in cool and deep darkness.

The woman in the shape of a withered tree, sitting on the blue brick steps with a thin body, her face blocked by the blue and black cloth towel on the straw hat, she couldn't see it real.

She's been sitting here for a long time, and anyone passing by will see her.

People who knew him avoided it from afar, not daring to take another look at her grimace.

People who don't know each other occasionally come close to see what she sells, but when their eyes touch her face and hands like chicken feet, they bounce away quickly, and even more timid children scream in fright and run away like ghosts......

For most of the day, no one bought the dry soap horn in her basket, only a curious and courageous man asked the price, but the old woman sat motionless on the low stool as if she were asleep, bowing her head, and did not raise her head slightly until the man left, and looked at the long alley without expression......

It's like, expecting her buyer.

It was only at dusk that the old woman took her basket on her back and walked slowly down the cobblestone path to her home.

Gently placing the basket under the eaves, she sat down.

Looking at the way you came, as usual, silent.

Night shrouded in the sky, pushing the humble houses even lower

。

The lights were lit up in every house in the alley, except for the house behind the old woman, which was pitch black, like a lonely grave.

I don't know how long she sat down, but the old woman patted the bluestone steps, pushed the door open, and closed it with her backhand.

"I'm back."

The room was empty, and no one responded.

She fumbled for the fire, blew it lightly, lit the oil lamp, and held it in her hand and walked towards the gloomy inner chamber, her steps still slow, but her face was more easy-going than ever, and her burnt and distorted face even showed a sinister smile.

"I'm back......

She repeated, as if she were talking to a family member.

But there was clearly no one in the house.

The old woman walked to the bed, held the oil lamp and stayed for a moment, and suddenly sighed faintly.

"Well, I haven't been home with you all day, am I angry?"

She hung the oil lamp on the eaves and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"It's uncomfortable to be alone at home, lonely, isn't it?"

No one responded.

Shen Guangdong looked up slowly under the windowsill......

The old woman sat there, caressing the quilt with a gentle expression, patting and rubbing it from time to time, and the slow movement, like treating a beloved treasure, showed a state of obsession.

Looking at the unknown void, telling her love.

The bean-sized flames flickered, the light was dim, and the strange picture was inexplicably terrifying, making Shen Guangdong feel terrified, and his hairs stood up......

··

Lord Zhizhou and his family have been in a cold war for a long time.

Fu Jiuqu was busy with the official affairs of the front hall, except for the Golden Wind Courtyard and not going anywhere else, Xin Yi most of the time raised the baby in the Tianshui Pavilion, and he no longer paid attention to miscellaneous matters, seeing that the two masters were like this, the people in the house gradually became a little lazy.

Xin Yi leaned on the beauty couch, listened to the two stewards report through the screen, and said lazily:

"Let them go."

It's a rare opportunity to lie down, how happy.

If she is replaced, it will probably be the same.

Xin Yi understands people, but the steward doesn't understand her.

"Lady must not."

The steward knew that Xin Yi was pregnant, and she was alienated by her husband, so she was depressed and uneasy, but because of this, she was in a hurry, and advised Xin Yi one by one, asking her to show the momentum of being a housewife and manage the family house for the county king, and wait for the birth of a child to have a chance to win her husband's heart.

Yan Guan said: "The so-called husband and wife quarrel at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed, most of them are for the sake of the children. No matter how hard-hearted people are, there is no one who does not feel sorry for the child, and when the little master is born, the heart of the county king will be half softer, and then look at the lady who is pregnant with Liujia and still works hard to arrange family affairs, and manages the back house in an orderly manner, where will there be any anger?"

Steward He hurriedly picked up, "Steward Yan is right, the lady must not relax, if you really lose the heart of the king of the county because of this, then it will be too late to regret it......

The two stewards were bitter.

Xin Yi looked at it and sighed.

"If the king's people don't come, what's the use of asking for his heart? Well, I understand what they mean. You're right, and you're in charge of managing the house......

"Lady's ......"

The two stewards spoke out in unison, heartbroken.

"Don't be so lazy."

Xin Yi: "Go back and get busy, I'm tired and want to rest for a while."

"Alas!"

After a long sigh, the steward took his leave.

When the footsteps were far away, Xin Yi slowly got up and called Taoyu to prepare water for bathing.

After a while, she made an appointment with Fu Jiuqu to meet, but if she didn't clean up earlier, a few girls wouldn't go down to rest, they all stayed here, and there was no way to speak.

She was heavy and slow, and by the time she was ready to lie down, it was an hour later.

Xingyuan and Taoyu refused to leave for a long time, and wanted to guard her to sleep, Xin Yi said a lot, and then sent everyone away.

The house was cleaned.

Xin Yi was really tired, so he lay down for a while, and then he was able to get up.

As soon as she opened the tent and walked over to open the window, a figure appeared in front of her, and a tiger rushed in like a forest, brought her body to the side, closed the window, and turned off the light.

Suddenly there was darkness in front of me.

Xin Yi wondered, "What's wrong?"

"Shhhhh......h......h

Dog stuff?

Xin Yi was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask who he was talking about, when suddenly there was a burst of neat footsteps outside. Listening to the voice, it was like the guards of Tianshui Pavilion, they outflanked and surrounded the courtyard, and their actions were clean and neat, without giving Fu Jiuqu a respite......

Then, there was a knock on Xin Yi's door.

Knock knock!

Apricot round is called outside.

"Has the lady slept? Duan Guard said that an assassin broke into Tianshui Pavilion and asked if the lady was okay?"
