Chapter 20: Mockery
The corners of Qiao Xuan's mouth curved into a good-looking arc, and he half-tilted his head as if he was a cunning little fox.
"Old lady, lying is not a good habit!"
Li Yuming's eyes swirled back and forth between his wife and Qiao Xuan, perhaps because Qiao Xuan mentioned the black cat many years ago, he was a little more convinced of her.
And he did hear a cat meow when he was walking in the yard last night when he couldn't sleep last month, and there were no cats in the front and back yards of the county government, Qiao Xuan only thought of this when he mentioned it.
The old lady raised her head suddenly, and a pair of cloudy, gray eyes stared at Qiao Xuan, like a poisonous snake spitting letters, giving people a cold and cold feeling.
"Since the little girl knows, why bother asking?"
A crisp and pleasant laugh overflowed from Qiao Xuan's lips, and she poured herself a cup of tea unhurriedly, and took a sip of it.
"What are you laughing at?" The old lady was displeased, and the Buddha beads in her palm were tightly clasped in her palm.
"I laughed at the old lady who couldn't see the situation clearly, and deceived herself" knew that she was still holding a shelf when she was dying, and she refused to lower her posture.
Li Yuming's hand holding the rim of the cup moved imperceptibly, "As long as you cure my mother's illness, I will be rewarded." ”
Qiao Xuan glanced at Li Mingyu playfully, and somehow Li Mingyu just felt that her eyes were full of deep meaning, as if she had seen through everything but did not break it.
The old lady gritted her teeth and didn't say anything, his son is the county master, so she doesn't need to say anything good, and some people come up and beg to see her illness.
"When did the old lady kill the cat? Why kill it? What happened to its body? ”
Qiao Xuan's three questions in a row made the old lady's expression a little tense, her lips trembled, and she scolded sharply, "It's just a little beast, dead is dead, what's the use of asking this?" ”
"If she really wants to seek revenge on me, I am not afraid of it, I can kill it when I am alive, and I can still do it when I die."
If it weren't for the old lady's hand on her knees, those who listened to her words might have believed it.
Qiao Xuan stood up suddenly, "My lord, it seems that the old lady already has a way to deal with it, then I won't bother too much, take my leave!" ”
She glanced at Xi He, Xi He understood, and the two of them raised their feet at the same time and left.
"Stand-" Li Yuming didn't want Qiao Xuan and them to leave, but the exit was interrupted by the old lady.
"Let them go! The yellow-haired girl said wildly, and the old body would not be frightened by her words. ”
Li Mingyu was entangled in his heart, from the girl's words just now, he could be sure that she was a little capable, but he knew his mother's stubborn character, and after thinking about it, he could only wait for his old lady to change her mind before inviting someone back.
"You have a good rest, my son still has important things to do, so I'll go back first" Li Mingyu got up and hurriedly chased Qiao Xuan and Xi He after dropping a sentence.
The old lady's sunken eye sockets looked sadly at a certain part of the room, and after a moment she sighed, rubbing her brow with her wrinkled fingers.
At the entrance of the county office.
"Please stay, two of you!"
Hearing the sound of heavy gasping behind him, Qiao Xuan showed Xi He an expression that was indeed so.
She grinned and turned around, "My lord, is there anything else?" ”
Li Mingyu gave the people around him a look, and someone came over with a small plate, Qiao Xuan glanced at the small plate covered with a red cloth, and his eyes lit up.
Yes! This dog officer is very good at it! Qiao Xuan slandered in his heart: Is this considered a black eater, the dog official embezzled the people's money, and she cheated the dog official's money.
