Chapter 70: Suspicion

"Miss, the rice porridge is ready!" Qiu Yue came in with rice porridge.

Wen Xun'er came back to her senses and looked at Xiao Jiwei who was on the couch with her eyes closed: "I know you're not asleep, get up and drink porridge!" ”

She motioned for Qiu Yue to help the person up.

Qiu Yue hurriedly stepped forward, took a pillow and put it behind Xiao Jiwei, and helped him up.

The young man's dark eyes stared at Wen Xun'er with a hint of confusion and inquiry.

Wen Xun'er made sure that the porridge was not hot, so she looked at him: "Open your mouth." ”

"No need, I'll ...... it myself" Xiao Jiwei stretched out his hand, only to find that his fingers were wrapped in gauze, and the words he was about to say were pressed back.

Wen Xun'er put the spoon to his lips, and immediately the smell of fragrant rice porridge came to his nose.

I haven't eaten for five days, and Xiao Jiwei is so hungry that he doesn't know what his stomach feels like.

But the moment he smelled the food, he instinctively moved his lips.

The plump millet porridge is boiled until it is plump and yellow, and it is sweet and glutinous in the mouth, just nourishing the stomach that has been empty for several days.

After Xiao Jiwei ate it, he only felt that his entire abdomen was warm, and his body gradually gained some strength.

Wen Xun'er stood up: "He must not be able to take care of himself like this, let people go to the imperial city, and pick up Chunsheng tomorrow morning." ”

Xiao Jiwei's eyelids jumped, and when he looked up, he only saw the back of Wen Xun'er leaving.

Early the next morning, Harusheng was sent to the monastery.

The moment he saw Xiao Ji in danger, Chunsheng cried and knelt in front of the bed: "Childe, I've only been away for a few days, why did you become like this?" ”

Xiao Jiwei wrinkled his eyebrows and glanced at him.

Chunsheng realized something, glanced at Wen Xun'er and the others at the door, and hurriedly wiped his tears and brought the hot porridge on the side to feed him: "Childe, I'll serve you to drink porridge!" ”

Since the person arrived, Wen Xun'er didn't plan to stay longer, turned around and walked out.

After the door was closed, Chunsheng lowered his voice and said, "Childe, why are you covered in injuries?" If Lord Rao knows, he must not die in a hurry! ”

Xiao Ji glanced at him coldly: "When you came, were they all good?" ”

"Okay!" Chunsheng whispered, "But it's strange to say, the Praetorian Guards have been patrolling around Pingluo Village in the north of the city for the past few days, and they seem to know something, and they even inquired about Madame's head, and learned that Madame's residence was sold with the help of General Wen, so I gave up, otherwise, I'm afraid that I will really find out the courtyard of Gongzi!" ”

Xiao Jiwei's eyes froze: "What did you say?" Pingluo Village? ”

"yes!" Chunsheng responded, "It is said that Madame has been dead for decades, so I shouldn't have found out about Madame's head, and I don't know where this Praetorian Guard got the information, but I actually found the place where the corners are shaky, fortunately, Lord Rao didn't go out after learning the news, otherwise, if you go to Madame's tomb to take soil as originally planned, Bacheng will really be exposed!" ”

Xiao Ji's eyes were shocked and uncertain, faintly flashing with shock.

Chunsheng only wondered: "Could it be that Gongzi knows what the reason is?" ”

Xiao Jiwei's eyes looked at the millet porridge that Chunsheng was holding in his hand.

He remembered that when he was hunting in the hunting ground, the woman also accurately found Zhang Yuan's daughter, although he was not present at the time, but afterwards Gu Yun described it to him with a smile, and almost praised his cousin as a god, saying that she could tell fortunes.

Fortune telling, Xiao Jiwei naturally doesn't believe it.

But think about it carefully, since she was fished out of the lake that day, the whole person's temperament has indeed changed greatly, although she is still short-tempered, but every time she gets angry, she seems to be provoked by him, that is to say, aside from being angered by him, this eldest lady's temper is actually very different from before, especially this time.

If it was Wen Xun'er in the past, let alone him, I am afraid that Wen Ruhai is lying here, she may not have this patience, not to mention, it is nearly two hours long!

"Have you ever heard of borrowing a corpse to bring a soul back?"

"Resurrection of a corpse?" Chunsheng shrunk his neck, only to feel a little chill in his back, "Childe, why did you suddenly mention this?" That's all Akama's statement, not credible! ”

It's really not credible, but when Xiao Jiwei was reading with him, when he was tidying up Gu Yun's desk, he accidentally unintentionally turned over a book, and one of them mentioned the method of borrowing corpses to return souls.

At that time, I just had no intention of glancing at it, and I didn't believe it, so I didn't take it to heart, but today I compared Wen Xun'er in front of me with Wen Xun'er in the past, and this idea is getting stronger and stronger!

But even if he borrowed the corpse to resurrect his soul, how could he know that he was afraid of mice?

Speaking of his fear of rats, this incident has to be traced back to when Yu Tang just died.

Before Wen Ruhai found him, he lived a beggar life, when he slept in a dilapidated house, full of mice, but at that time he was still young, and he was not afraid, until one night, he woke up in the middle of the night and saw another little beggar in the same room being gnawed beyond recognition by mice, flesh and blood blurred, at that time it was accompanied by thunder, when the lightning illuminated the outside, he clearly saw the little beggar lying on the white bones of the forest outside with a chirping mouse, and he was directly frightened stupid.

Many years have passed, although he has come out of the shadows of the beginning, he has never been able to let go of the rats.

But he has never told anyone about this, except for himself, there is no second person in the world who knows, so how did Wen Xun'er know that he was afraid of mice?

"It's broken!" Xiao Jiwei didn't know what to think, so he urgently put on his clothes and wanted to get up, but his body was too weak, so he fell back directly and sweated.

"Childe, what are you doing? You're going to have to take care of your injuries now!" Chunsheng held him up.

Xiao Jiwei grabbed Chunsheng's arm: "Chunsheng, you hurry back to the imperial city and let Lord Rao change places!"

Since she even knew that he was afraid of rats, maybe that house was no secret!

Thinking of this, Xiao Jiwei's face turned pale.

Shen Wei came back from handing over the matter, and as soon as he returned home, he saw a woman wearing a black cloak standing under the porch of the living room.

The housekeeper stepped forward: "Shizi, Miss Wen has been waiting for you for more than an hour!"

Shen Wei looked at the dim sky, and suddenly felt guilty: "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were here." ”

Wen Xun'er greeted him: "I should say I'm sorry, I'm here to bother General Shen again, I came to ask General Shen, what progress was made in the previous incident?" ”

"Go in and say."

Shen Wei led her into the room, and asked her to make tea before telling her the results of the past few days.

"Didn't you find anything suspicious?" Wen Xun'er asked.

Shen Wei shook his head: "There are more than a dozen households in Pingluo Village, and my people searched them one by one, but they didn't find anything suspicious, but why didn't you say that there was your Wen family's house there?" ”

"The Wen family's house?"

Wen Xun'er was stunned, and then remembered such a plot: Wen Ruhai originally intended to sell the house to Xiao Ji for some silver taels, so he lied to him and said that the house was sold.

But in fact, the person who bought the house at that time was just a passer-by, and the person behind it was still the Wen family!
