Duan Yunlang's eyes widened suddenly.

What does this person want to do?

"Did Miss Kou come out of the Zhou family?" He Qingxiao looked at Xin Yu and asked.

Xin Yu lowered his eyes: "I heard that my friend's father passed away and came to visit." ”

"That's a coincidence. Miss Kou walked slowly. After He Qingxiao finished speaking, he strode towards the Zhou family.

Xin Yu endured it without looking back and walked out into the street.

"Cousin, do you still want to buy snacks?" Duan Yunlang saw that Xin Yu was in a bad mood and asked tentatively.

Xin Yu smiled: "Buy it, it's all here." ”

"That's it, it's coming."

The two bought a lot of snacks and went back to Shaoqing's house.

In the Ruyi Hall, several grandchildren were talking with the old lady, and when they heard the maidservant report that the second son and the cousin were coming, they all looked at the door.

"Grandmother, I'm back." Duan Yunlang walked in front and lifted the pastries he was carrying, "My cousin and I bought you the snacks." ”

Xin Yu lagged behind a little and curtsied to the old lady: "Grandmother." ”

The old lady looked at the two of them and said softly: "You two are late to come back, are you going to buy snacks?" ”

"Yes, my cousin said that this dim sum is sweet and soft, suitable for you to eat."

Looking at Duan Yunlang with a hearty smile, Duan Yunchen frowned slightly.

Are the second brother and the young cousin too close?

Xin Yu noticed a gaze firmly attached to her, swept it over, and clearly saw the sharp edge in Duan Yunhua's eyes.

It seems that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the old lady lifted Duan Yunhua's grounding.

The grandchildren in the house had their own thoughts, but the old lady looked completely unaware, and looked at the two cousins with a look of relief.

At noon, I had lunch in Ruyi Hall, and Xin Yu went back to Wanqingju and told Xiaolian to prepare some things.

The time she made an appointment with Zhou's mother was tonight.

It didn't take long for the third girl, Duan Yunling, to come.

"Didn't disturb Cousin Qing's rest, did you?"

"Cousin Ling sits. I've been living for a long time, there's nothing good, cousin, don't be inconsiderate. ”

After some greetings, Duan Yunling mentioned Duan Yunhua: "The second sister was only released yesterday, but there are fewer words than before. ”

Xin Yu only came back a few times a month, and he didn't care about Duan Yunhua at all, and he just smiled when he heard the words.

"Also, my grandmother seems to have plans to continue my father's chord." This is what Duan Yunling wanted to say to Xin Yu.

Without the mountain that weighed on his head by his grandmother, Duan Yunling had a very easy life these days, and he couldn't help but feel apprehensive when he thought that he would have a stepmother who didn't know his temperament in the future.

This is also a useful message for Xinyu.

Unlike Duan Yunhua, as Duan Shaoqing's wife, she can influence a lot of things. She promised Xiaolian to get back most of the family wealth for Kou Qingqing, and the fewer variables the better. Fortunately, people like Shaoqing's Mansion have gone from intentionally saying kiss to finalizing, and no matter how smooth it is, it will not be until next year.

"Cousin Ling doesn't have to worry about it in advance, spend more time with her grandmother."

The four girls in Shaoqing Mansion, the eldest girl Duan Yunwan was sent away, the fourth girl Duan Yunyan is still young, and the old lady only needs to consider the relationship between Duan Yunhua and Duan Yunling in the near future.

Although Duan Yunhua occupies the status of a concubine, her reckless and willful performance has entered the eyes of the old lady, Duan Yunling is closer to the old lady, there is no harm.

"yes, I see."

After chatting with Xin Yu, Duan Yunling was much more down-to-earth, and his steps left easily.

He Qingxiao, who returned to Yamen from Zhou's house, took a sip of tea and asked his subordinates: "I have the impression that Zhou Baihu only entered Beijing at the beginning of the year?" ”

The subordinates thought that He Qingxiao had not yet taken over the Fusi of Beizhen at that time, and replied very carefully: "Yes, Zhou Baihu used to be stationed in Wanyang, and after entering Beijing at the beginning of the year, he was promoted to ...... 100 households."

Hearing the word "Wanyang", He Qingxiao's eyes sank, and she immediately thought of the chance encounter with Xin Yu on the way to Zhou's house.

It's Wanyang again.

It is probably no coincidence that Miss Kou and Zhou Tong's daughter from Wanyang became friends.

So will Zhou Tong's death have another inside story?

He Qingxiao thought of the merciless arrow that flew from the shadows that evening, and new doubts arose: If it was Miss Kou's hand, Zhou Tong's wife didn't know about it, or did she take the initiative to cooperate?

"Let's find out who Zhou Tong got close to after entering Beijing, as well as the origin of Zhou Tong and his wife."

The reunion banquet is set in the Ruyi Hall, the pomelo eyes look at the nose and the nose and the heart, the old lady answers when she asks, and eats quietly when no one asks.

Like Xin Yu, there is Duan Shaoqing, so much so that the old lady couldn't help but glance at her son several times, thinking that her son had encountered some trouble.

Receiving the old mother's gaze, Duan Shaoqing silently took a bite of food.

It's not that he doesn't talk much, but it's that if he talks too much in front of his niece, it's easy to fall into the pit, and it's a matter of money.

After the meal, Xin Yu declined the moon viewing activity and returned to the evening residence.

"The girl wants to go out?" As soon as she saw Xin Yu changing her clothes and bundling her hair, Xiaolian asked very experienced.

"Yes, go out and do some errands, and keep a good night for me."

"But it's not like a bookstore, you don't have a key."

Xin Yu smiled: "I think of another way." ”

Xiaolian hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "The maid knows a place to go out, but I'm afraid that you will dislike it-"

"Where can I get out?"

"It's a dog hole, the maid stumbled upon it."

The walls of this kind of high-gate mansion are high, and it is of course better not to climb over the wall. Xin Yu did not hesitate to drill the dog hole and came to the street smoothly.

The jade plate is empty, the moonlight is bright, and the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival is brighter and more lively than usual. Xin Yu walked all the way, and from time to time the sound of conversation and laughter floated into his ears.

The joy of the festival was not replaced by a plain white gloom until he walked into the alley where Zhou's house was located.

Xin Yu stepped forward and learned three cat meows as agreed.

According to the funeral, it is necessary to keep a vigil for the deceased all night, Zhou Tong only has one daughter, and Ji Cailan's two brothers helped guard it last night. The reason why Xin Yu didn't knock on the door directly was because she was afraid that Zhou's mother would not be able to send the Ji family away, and it would be difficult to explain when the Ji family saw her coming to the door at night.

Not long after, the door quietly opened a crack, and Zhou's mother saw Xin Yu and hurriedly opened the door to let her in.

Walking beside Xin Yu, Zhou's mother lowered her voice and said: "The doorman is sleeping very deeply, and Chunya is watching Yue'er in the West Chamber, and there is no one else." ”

The Ji family was here during the day, and they had to leave someone to help keep the vigil at night, but they were rejected by Zhou's mother on the grounds of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the cook and the servant woman who did rough work canceled the holiday because of an accident in the Zhou family, but they would go home to sleep at night.

This is also the reason why you choose to act on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The mourning hall is lit with ever-bright lanterns, filled with the rich smell of burning paper incense candles. The pitch-black coffin rested quietly in the middle, chilling the faint of heart.

Fortunately, Xin Yu and Zhou's mother are not timid people. The two worked together to remove the lid of the coffin, revealing the person lying inside.

Mother Zhou watched Xin Yu take out the bottles and cans and brushes she brought with her and busily, and the terrifying wounds left by the dagger were filled little by little, and gradually lost their skin color from the surrounding ones.

"Auntie be careful not to let people touch here."

Mother Zhou nodded vigorously.

She is still confident that she can do this, even if the eldest sister is suspicious, at most she will lift her clothes and take a look, and it will be impossible to touch it.

"Now is not the time to talk deeply, and when the turmoil passes, I hope to hear the secret."

Mother Zhou was completely out of luck after seeing the means and courage of the girl in front of her, and said hello in a low voice and sent Xin Yu to the gate.
