Chapter 22: Suspicion
"Are you also the family members of the victims?"
The farmer looked at the two skinny girls, who seemed to be able to break their waists and limbs with a single force.
What's more, as a stranger, he can't rush forward, who knows if this Song Sicheng really wants to help him, what if this is an enemy who came to inquire about intelligence?
Unfortunately, the farmer really guessed correctly, and the two of them did come for the information in his mouth.
It's just that Bai Wanrou has obviously broken his psychological defense with a clever move.
"Yes, isn't it possible that you are also the same as the two of us?"
Hearing this, the farmer was like seeing an old friend he hadn't seen for many years, and he almost shook hands with them with tears in his eyes.
"Naturally, yes!"
"Look at you two little girls, I really can't imagine that there will be such a tragic encounter."
When Bai Wanrou first heard this, she thought she was testing them, but she didn't know that this farmer was simple-minded, and she was actually unwary of them in her heart.
She pinched Song Yinhua's arm, who quickly understood and choked up: "Uncle, don't look at us Although we are skinny, it's all because we are oppressed on weekdays." ”
When the farmer heard this, he was really interested, or rather sympathetic to them, so he quickly asked, "How can this be said?" ”
Song Yinhua sighed and looked at Bai Wanrou, she only gave Song Yinhua a look, which meant to let her play freely.
"Uncle, don't you know, my mother, I was looking forward to giving birth to a son, and finally had a brother, so I didn't care about me and my sister, and the hard work at home was all done by the two of us, if it weren't for the negligence after this time, my sister ...... She also doesn't ...... Ah! ”
In the end, she cried as if she had been poked in the sore spot, and the farmers behind her looked distressed, but it was not easy to come forward to comfort her.
could only whisper a few words of condolences, but it was Bai Wanrou, she wiped Song Yinhua's tears and patted her back, while not forgetting to shake her head for her own performance.
"And ...... you little girl?"
"Actually, the two of us are in a similar situation, if we didn't happen to meet at the gate of this mansion, I'm afraid we wouldn't have the courage to come in together to find justice."
She didn't look very old, but she did look sad, which made the unsuspecting farmer quickly believe it.
Song Yinhua and Bai Wanrou have created their image miserable enough that the farmer seems to have forgotten what happened to him.
Seeing this, Bai Wanrou also knew that she had overdone it, so she deliberately coughed heavily, glanced at Song Yinhua, and then pretended to ask unintentionally: "Uncle, are you in the same situation as us?" ”
Under the atmosphere of the two of them, the farmers probably didn't think the problem was so abrupt.
He waved his hand, looking a little free, but his eyes were full of desolation.
"There's no way I'm going to do such a bastard!"
"One of my baby daughters is afraid of falling in the palm of her hand, and she is afraid of melting in her mouth, but it's a pity...... She had a bad life, but she was taken by a landlord! ”
At the mention of that person, the farmer gritted his teeth a little when he spoke, but Bai Wanrou and Song Yinhua were at a loss.
Aren't normal people very happy when they are favored by landlords?
She was afraid that she would pour salt on the farmer's wounds, so she could only ask casually: "Landlord? ”
Bai Wanrou didn't ask anything, she knew that the farmer would continue to follow her question.
Sure enough, his eyes were fierce for a moment, and his expression became hideous at that moment.
"That's right! It was clear that my daughter didn't want to be his concubine, and she refused again and again, but he was just entangled with it...... Finally, my daughter ...... He never came back. ”
"Then how did you know that man was the prince?"
Hearing this, the farmer's eyes widened suddenly, as if he was in disbelief at the question they had raised.
Bai Wanrou and Song Yinhua were also worried, lest they be exposed.
However, he quickly returned to normal, waved his hand, and seemed to say another very mundane household thing.
"This is also thanks to my daughter's lover, who vaguely saw the shadows of two people at that time, and because of curiosity, he stepped forward to check, and found my daughter's body near the prince's courtyard."
"In fact, he already wanted to come up and sue at that time, but unfortunately he was warned, and it is said that he still held a knife against his neck, so he had no choice but to compromise."
Bai Wanrou frowned, just like this, can you tell that person is the crown prince?
She felt a little hasty, what if it was just a trap for someone else?
She glanced at the farmer and saw that he looked normal, not too sad, so she dared to continue asking.
"So the lover told you that it was the prince who killed your daughter?"
"yes...... No, I remember him saying that someone called the prince, oh yes, yes, it was the one who threatened him! ”
Bai Wanrou and Song Yinhua glanced at each other, if this is the case, they really can't find anything wrong.
It seems that this matter was really done by the prince.
Then the farmer mabbled a few more words, but Bai Wanrou didn't listen carefully, only listened roughly to it.
Song Yinhua has been talking to him all the time, and he has received a lot of news.
At that time, she suddenly felt as if someone was watching her from behind, and when she looked back, she only saw an empty courtyard.
What she didn't know was that Lin Yi, who was hiding in the tree, dodged her figure to the side the moment she looked over.
"If it weren't for the fact that he was telling the truth, I wouldn't believe it."
"Real? Uncle, you're laughing, how can you tell the truth? ”
When Bai Wanrou heard him say such a sentence, she involuntarily interjected, and then saw Song Yinhua raise her eyes and look over, as if she was surprised that she was listening.
She hooked her lips and smiled, but the smile on the corner of her mouth stiffened on her face the next moment.
He said that the man with the knife had calluses on his hands, which were very noticeable when they slid over his face, and that his voice was a little low, like ...... Middle-aged people! ”
Bai Wanrou only felt that the blood in her body had stopped flowing.
She couldn't hear what he said afterward, and she didn't see the code that Song Yinhua passed to her.
There is a calloon on his hand, a middle-aged man, and he follows the prince again.
These three conditions were enough to make her suspicious...... But it can't be!
Although my father has grown a lot of calluses because he has been practicing martial arts all year round and holds a sword in his hand, he ...... How could he do such a thing?!
Thinking of the worst possibility, Bai Wanrou felt that she was a little unbearable for a while.
No, it must not be a father, he would never murder a woman of a good family for the sake of the prince's orders.
Then Song Yinhua said a few more words, and the three of them gradually chatted until it was dark, and the farmer didn't know that they were supposed to be in a courtyard, so he waved to the two and went to the room.
"What's the matter with you? I've been absent-minded since just now.,It looks a little sullen? ”
Bai Wanrou shook her head and didn't speak, but Song Yinhua was so anxious that she panicked and didn't have a score.
"What the hell is going on? What are you stimulated again? ”
She sniffed and rubbed the back of her hand unconsciously, the night wind was slightly cool, and it was still a little chilly on the thin person.
Bai Wanrou wiped away the tears that had fallen from the corners of her eyes and asked Song Yinhua a question.
"Do you think my father looks like a bad guy?"
Song Yinhua frowned, her question was a little inexplicable.
"It's not like ah, your father is so good to you on weekdays, and he is as fair and strict as my father, so he doesn't look like a bad person."
Bai Wanrou felt even more sad when she heard this.
She continued to stare at Song Yinhua and said, "Then if, I mean, suppose, my father did something very bad, what would you think?" ”
I saw her frowning, and then she hooked her lips and smiled, "I know, were you affected by the uncle just now?" ”
"Well, don't worry, your father won't do anything bad."
Song Yinhua dragged her to the street.
The two of them hadn't taken off their clothes at this time, and they looked like two ordinary folk girls.
Now you don't have to worry about meeting acquaintances in the market.
"Here, aren't you a little unhappy, come, eat a piece of sugar fried chestnuts and everything will be fine."
Song Yinhua handed the still hot sugar-fried chestnuts he had just bought in his hand to Bai Wanrou.
Before she could take a bite, the tip of her nose could already smell the sweet smell of chestnuts.
"Yin'er, you are so good to me, how can I repay you in the future?"
Bai Wanrou seemed to be in a much better mood, and now in the face of Song Yinhua's reassurance, she was obviously a little moved.
It's a pity that the latter didn't cherish this opportunity, but smiled wantonly, and then said:
"I don't need to repay it, I really want to repay the favor, and marry me when I am the king."
Bai Wanrou knew that she was deliberately making fun of her, so she also laughed, but she still remembered Chen Ruzhi uncontrollably in her heart.
If it were him, he probably wouldn't be so careful, and he would remember that he loved to eat this sugar-fried chestnut in the market......
Thinking about the cold words he had said to himself, Bai Wanrou couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly.
Not to mention this sugar-fried chestnut, he is afraid that he can't wait to give his life to others!
It's a pity that I didn't know people well at the time, and I married this person who didn't love me the most, and now even if I regret it, it's useless.
"Xiaorou, you send it here, I'll go back first."
Bai Wanrou sent Song Yinhua back to the house, she still had the clothes she had just unloaded, these were others, and she would return them with her later.
She returned the items she used to disguise herself and met Qingtang in the past.
I made an appointment with Qingtang to meet in this alley because she was afraid that there would be some accidents, and if she couldn't go back, it would be a big trouble.
"Wang ...... Miss, here! ”
Qingtang used to call her princess, but before leaving the house today, Bai Wanrou specially emphasized to her that she couldn't be called princess, so she quickly changed her words.
"Miss, why do you look a little unhappy?"
"Huh? Is it so obvious? ”
Bai Wanrou twisted a piece of chestnut and put it in her mouth, she was indeed still thinking about her father in her heart.
But she didn't expect to be seen, and she was always the most arrogant Qingtang.
Could it be that you are not doing so well on the surface?
