Chapter 78: A Serendipitous Encounter
There was a black coffin in the middle of the mourning hall, and Zhou Ningyue and Zhou's mother knelt next to each other, wearing linen and filial piety, all plain white.
Xin Yu met Zhou's mother when she was mourning, and Zhou's mother had doubts in her eyes, and she couldn't understand the reason why Xin Yu came to the door.
Xin Yu was stunned for a moment, and there was a new picture in front of her.
The sky was dark, the moon was in the sky, and the breeze was blowing, adding a bit of gloom to the mourning hall.
A woman suddenly pushed the lid of the coffin open, and Zhou's mother rushed over to stop it, and fell to the ground under the push. The woman completely ignored Zhou's mother, who fell, and lifted the shroud of the person in the coffin.
Then, the picture dissipates and the eyes return to reality.
When Xin Yu walked towards Zhou's mother, she quickly looked around with her afterglow and saw the woman in the picture.
The woman's eyes were swollen into walnuts, obviously very sad, and she could see at a glance that she was somewhat similar to Zhou Tong. The woman's identity is unknown, it is Zhou Tong's sister and Ji Cailan's mother.
The bright moon in the picture is not so round, but it is not as good as the last quarter moon, and it should have happened from the seventeenth day to the time before the funeral.
What aroused Ji's mother's suspicions and asked her to remove the lid of the coffin to check the body?
Xin Yu's brain was spinning rapidly, and she walked in front of Zhou's mother and Zhou Ningyue.
"Aunt's Day mourns, Sister Zhou's Day mourns."
Zhou's mother leaned over slightly to thank her, and explained to her daughter in a dumb voice: "Yue'er, greet your friend." ”
Zhou Ningyue nodded with red eyes and took Xin Yu aside.
Without waiting for her to ask, Ji Cailan said the reason why Xin Yu appeared here.
"Thank you, Sister Kou." Zhou Ningyue knew in her heart that Xin Yu was deliberately looking for an opportunity to come, but she didn't think deeply.
"Sister Zhou, when will Ling Zun be buried?"
"My mother and aunt have discussed that they will stop for seven days."
That would have happened between August 17 and 20.
"Sister Zhou should also pay attention to her body, don't get burned."
Zhou Ningyue laughed miserably: "Fortunately, my aunt's family helped." ”
Ji Cailan patted Zhou Ningyue's back: "Cousin, don't say that, we are relatives." ”
When Zhou Ningyue heard this, she became more and more uncomfortable.
If her aunt's family knew the truth about her father's death, she couldn't help but tremble every time this thought flashed through her.
At this time, Ji Mu shouted Lan'er.
"My mother called me, I'll go over and take a look." Ji Cailan put down a sentence and walked over.
Xin Yu had a chance, and whispered next to Zhou Ningyue: "Look at your aunt's face again today, the trouble is just around the corner, Sister Zhou said to her aunt ......"
Zhou Ningyue's face changed slightly, nodded slightly, and quietly relayed Xin Yu's words after returning to Zhou's mother.
Xin Yu met Zhou's mother next to the thatched toilet behind Zhou's house.
Although there was no one here for a while, she couldn't stay for a long time, so Zhou's mother asked directly: "What is the trouble that Miss Kou said?" ”
Xin Yu was more direct: "The woman opposite my aunt is Zunfu's sister, right?" In two days, she will be suspicious and check on the body of her husband. ”
Mother Zhou's body shook, and her face turned pale: "This is also what Miss Kou can see?" ”
"Yes." Xin Yu gave an affirmative answer, without any emptiness.
This is indeed what she "sees".
"Does my aunt wear makeup?"
Zhou's mother was stunned, and she couldn't guess why Xin Yu suddenly asked this: "It will be a little." ”
"If you want to get through this, the wounds on your body need to be repaired. You can plug the wound with dough, clay, etc., and then apply a fat powder close to the surrounding skin color......"
After listening to Xin Yu's speech, Zhou's mother's face became even more ugly: "I...... I can't do ......."
She didn't even think that she would kill Zhou Tong, she was just confronting him!
For the sake of her daughter, she pressed the fear of killing and the fear of the future in her heart, and she really didn't have the energy to do more. What's more, she couldn't imagine how to treat the wound so that people couldn't see it.
"I can try."
Mother Zhou stared at the girl who said this calmly: "What does Miss Kou want?" ”
She didn't believe a new friend with her daughter would do that. Not to mention the various performances of this Kou girl, she is by no means an ordinary girl.
Xin Yu was not surprised that Zhou's mother had this question.
Zhou's mother is a smart person, and smart people naturally think a lot.
"I want to know the secret of my aunt's dispute with my husband."
The deliberately aggravated word "secret" made Zhou's mother's eyes shrink: "Does Miss Kou know something?" ”
"I don't know, that's why I asked my aunt."
"Why does Miss Kou want to know?"
"Mostly curiosity. My curiosity and physiognomy probably complement each other, the more I see, the more curiosity I have, and the more curious I get, the easier it is to see. ”
"Miss Kou knows, she may be killed."
"Auntie is strict-mouthed, I won't shout everywhere, how can others know that I know? My aunt doesn't have to worry about me, after all, I'm so curious, and I've lived a good life until now. ”
Mother Zhou's expression kept changing, and she nodded: "Okay, if you can get through the difficulty, I will tell you this secret." ”
Xinyu curled her lips.
"Miss Kou isn't afraid that I will regret it?"
"Don't be afraid, I believe that my aunt is a person of awe."
Zhou's mother didn't know what to think, her face changed, and she made an appointment with Xin Yu in a low voice, and the two left one after the other.
"Cousin has been waiting for a long time." After saying goodbye to Zhou Ningyue and Ji Cailan, Xin Yu walked towards Duan Yunlang, who was waiting in the courtyard.
"What's this?" Duan Yunlang waved his hand disapprerovingly.
As soon as the two cousins walked out of the gate of Zhou's house, they saw several Jinlinwei coming over.
Xin Yu stepped aside and looked back.
Several Jinlinwei walked into the courtyard, and a middle-aged man immediately greeted him, looking at ease with it, he should have greeted many mourners of Jinlinwei's status.
Zhou Tong is a hundred households, no matter whether those colleagues and subordinates are familiar with him or not, it is etiquette to come and give him a ride.
Xin Yu couldn't help but think of He Qingxiao.
With He Qingxiao's identity, he should not come to mourn in person, after all, the two identities are too different.
Xinyu turned her head and walked forward slowly.
"Why is there still Jinlinwei here?" Duan Yunlang asked curiously.
"My friend's father is a member of Jinlinwei."
"No wonder. Alas, your friend's father died suddenly, and the family will have a hard time in the future. ”
Xin Yu paused and did not respond to Duan Yunlang's words.
Duan Yunlang followed Xin Yu's gaze and saw He Qingxiao walking towards him with two of his subordinates.
"Cousin, Lord He!" Duan Yunlang tugged at Xin Yu's sleeves.
Xin Yu looked at the people who were getting closer and closer, and pursed her lips slightly.
Since that day, He Qingxiao has not been to the bookstore, and this is the first time they have seen each other.
He Qingxiao actually came to Zhou's house in person. With her assassinating him first, will he be suspicious of Zhou Tong's death when he sees her appear here?
Xin Yu thought about this in her heart, and watched He Qingxiao walk closer with an expressionless face.
The two looked at each other, and she didn't know what else to say in the future, so she could only keep her face expressionless and wait for the other party to walk by.
Unexpectedly, He Qingxiao's footsteps turned and stopped in front of her.
