Chapter 128: An accident on the funeral
Xu Yan is just Xu Yun's stepmother, and not many people know about it. Therefore, her funeral was held very grandly, and all the powerful people of Yunchuan were present.
The streets are full of people, but they have returned to their usual lively appearance.
Shen Liu naturally received the invitation, and not only her, but even the people under her were all invited.
Shen Liu knew very well in his heart that this was Xu Yun's dismissal, and the purpose was to let her know that her every move was under the surveillance of the other party.
However, Xu Yun didn't find out that Zhao was in her hands, and this dismount was not very successful.
"Ah Liu, you must be careful for a while, today the Xu Mansion is heavily guarded, and there are many archers hidden in secret." Gu Jingheng said uneasily.
Shen Liu didn't dare to hold it up, and nodded again and again, but she had a low-key heart, but she took the initiative to find the door for trouble.
"It's him!" She recognized that face even if it turned to ashes.
Shen Liu tugged at the man beside him, and then whispered while drinking, "I just saw Jiang Hanqing." ”
What?
A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Jingheng's eyes. The other party suddenly disappeared mysteriously, and he naturally had to send someone to investigate. But after checking for a few months, I didn't get any clues, but I didn't expect to bump into Yunchuan today.
"Are you sure it's him?"
"It's a different outfit, but I'm sure it's him." How could she admit her mistake to the enemy.
But Gu Jingheng didn't think so, he muttered with some taste, "If you glance at it from so far away, you can still recognize people." ”
Shen Liu: Is ...... time to discuss this?
She glared at the man angrily, and then said in a serious tone: "Jiang Hanqing's sudden appearance here must not be accidental, people have to stare at him." ”
"Hmm." Gu Jingheng also thought so in his heart.
Because of Jiang Hanqing's incident, Shen Liu was full of expectations for today's funeral.
Although Xu Yun has now become the master of Yunchuan, she is neither a descendant nor a long-term, and the last person to kneel at the front is still not her.
The eldest of the Xu family was wearing filial piety, his face was full of tears, Xu Xue followed behind her, also with a sad face, and the rest of the Xu family also knelt beside the coffin.
The ceremony officially began, and Shen Liu noticed that Jiang Hanqing was standing very far forward, and beside him was the chief butler of the Xu family.
This shows that his status in the Xu family is not low, could it be that he remarried someone from the Xu family?
When Shen Liu was pondering in his heart, he suddenly heard someone shouting not far away, "Oh no, it's on fire!" Hurry up and put out the fire! ”
On such a solemn occasion, there was an accidental fire, and suddenly all the maids and maids below went in the direction of the sound, and even Xu Yun stood up and shouted softly: "What's the matter?" ”
Soon a man who looked like a butler stepped forward and replied; "Master, it was the old master's study that suddenly caught fire, the fire was too big, and now several rooms next to it are all burning. For the sake of safety, you might as well take your guests to the West Courtyard. ”
As he spoke, dust drifted over from something unknown, Shen Liu hurriedly and cautiously covered his mouth and nose, and instructed his subordinates: "Wait a minute, you must follow me, don't get separated." ”
Gu Jingheng was bold, he pinched a piece of black and gray and sniffed it, and then said with a serious face: "It's not an accident, there is a smell of fire oil in it." ”
It seems that someone deliberately set the fire, but it was chosen in the study instead of the main hall, and it seems that the purpose of the other party is not to hurt people, but to attract everyone's attention.
Shen Liu had a guess in her heart, and she saw that although Xu Yun's face was gloomy, she was not in a hurry, and she knew that she had put this fire by herself.
But what was her purpose in doing this?
"Lure the fish to the bait." Gu Jingheng mentioned that Xu Yan was killed in the hospital that day.
Shen Liu thought about it for a moment and understood.
"Keep an eye on the three brothers and sisters of the Xu family, Xu Yun will definitely have a trick."
As soon as the words fell, I heard the boss of the Xu family suddenly shout: "Second sister, second sister!" Why is she gone? ”
Shen Liu's reaction was fast enough, but Xu Xue still disappeared at some point.
Suddenly, the main hall was even more chaotic.
"Find! I have to dig three feet into the ground to find out my second sister! I don't believe that the second lady of our Xu family can still disappear in her own home! Xu Yun looked angry, but because of the deliberate arson, Shen Liu couldn't tell whether she was real or acting.
On one side is getting bigger and bigger, and on the other side is Xu Xue, who is nowhere to be seen, the entire Xu Mansion is in chaos, if it weren't for Xu Yun to let the government soldiers firmly guard the door, I'm afraid it would have been a mess a long time ago.
After more than half an hour, everyone worked together to finally extinguish the fire, but Xu Xue still didn't find it.
"The head of the family, I have searched for every place in the house where people can hide, but I still don't see the second lady."
There are always people from the Xu family guarding the door, and there is no reason why a big living person will disappear out of thin air.
"Check up today's guests to see if there's anyone who isn't on the list!" Xu Yun didn't care much at this time, originally she wanted to fish, but now that the bait was lost, she didn't even see the shadow of the fish.
The guests were naturally unhappy, but the people had to bow their heads under the low eaves, and in the end, it was more than half an hour, and the housekeeper replied with an earthy face: "The master of the house, there are no suspicious people mixed in." ”
Could it be that there is a ghost in your own family? Xu Yun couldn't help but think so.
Just when she was at a loss, the boss of the Xu family suddenly came out and said loudly: "Third sister, there is still a new face in the house today, it is him!" ”
Shen Liu looked over curiously, and saw Jiang Hanqing being pushed out.
His cold and beautiful face was full of anxiety at this time, "Miss Xu, what do you mean?" How could I harm Second Miss, I, we're going to get married soon. ”
"Slut! Don't put on such a foxy look for me, I'm not the second, I'll be fooled by you! The boss of the Xu family pushed the person to the ground, and said with disgust in his mouth: "You suddenly appeared as a fatherless, motherless, and stateless person, and there was nothing around you. You said it's bad, then I want to ask, with this face, how did you meet my second child so coincidentally, and let her raise you. ”
"And if I'm not mistaken, you've known each other for a month. You don't enter the house early, you don't enter the house late, but you choose to enter the house at this time. As a result, as soon as you come, the old two are gone! ”
Originally, the boss of the Xu family just wanted to be in the limelight, but now the more she talked, the more she felt that she was reasonable, and immediately she pulled Jiang Hanqing and said angrily: "You say, where did you get my second child!" What other helpers do you have, and what is your purpose! ”
If people who don't know see it, they really think that most of these old people love their sister.
But in fact, her heart is now happy.
