"Not bad." Mo Shuoyue nodded in agreement, "Lin Miaoniang said that she relied on her mother when she was very young, and she used to work as a domestic helper. But now that her mother is seriously ill and bedridden, it is clear that she needs to be taken care of by her every moment, so where does she have the time to go out to work? ”

She paused for a moment and continued to analyze: "When we arrived at the Lin family, although her family was not rich, it was elegant, and the things used were slightly better than ordinary farmers in the countryside. And mutton is a high ingredient for them. She only eats alone, but she has to make such a big ancient building. A single woman who has to take care of her seriously ill mother at home, where does she get the money? ”

Li Yunmin said: "This silver money should be the reward for sending the Dark Luo Grass to the Duanping Palace." ”

"Yes, not all." Mo Shuoyue's fingers unconsciously repeated the circle on the table, explaining: "I guess that Lin Miaoniang has an eighty percent chance of being the same as Cui Chuniang, because she doesn't know that the thing she gave is the Stygian Grass. But she must have understood that the things sent to Duanping Wangfu were not ordinary, after all, looking at her clothes, the materials were not bad, and it could be seen that the people who entrusted her must be paid not low. The remuneration is not low, but she is designated as a country woman to send spices to the mansion of Danying carved in the palace. But any normal person can guess that this thing must not be simple. ”

"Then this is very strange, since she can guess that there is something wrong, how can she dare to send it to the palace? If this is a good thing for the nobles in the house, isn't she the first to bear the brunt of the braids? Jiang was puzzled.

Mo Shuoyue felt a little crying and laughing at her question. This lady who grew up in fine clothes and jade food, although she has a sense of independence, but in the end she has never suffered the hardships of living in poverty, how can she understand the hardships of the lives of poor people.

In order to stay alive, they did everything they could. In this kind of situation, where do you have the energy to think about how long you can live after eating this meal and not knowing where the next meal is?

It's just a day, it's a day, and you can enjoy a day of happiness, and it's also a day.

Isn't it money that they have no power or power to rely on? This also includes the former self.

Mo Shuoyue could only say: "Women are difficult, and in this world, a woman with a family background like Lin Miaoniang is even more difficult to live." In the final analysis, it's just a matter of making a living, trying to live as decently as possible in this prosperous world. ”

"That's right." Jiang Yuan's expression couldn't help but become a little melancholy, "Looking at it this way, Sister Miao Niang is actually quite pitiful...... If this case can be successfully concluded, I would like to invite Sister Miao Niang to my house to help, and she will not always have to do this kind of thing involuntarily. ”

"Then I'll wait until the case can be successfully concluded."

Li Yunmin tapped the handle of the fan lightly, and silently glanced at Mo Shuoyue. After getting along for a long time, looking at his subconscious actions, Mo Shuoyue guessed that what he meant was that this case was difficult to conclude. It's just that there are some words, and it's inconvenient for Jiang Zhen to know.

Mo Shuoyue yawned, got up and said, "After walking for so long today, I can't stand it anymore, so I can sleep well before I have the energy to continue investigating the case." The rest will be settled tomorrow. ”

As she spoke, she walked out of the door, and heard Jiang Zhen and the thief say: "Oh, it's so late, it's already curfew now, it's really troublesome to go back to the house, why don't you stay with me for one night?" ”

Li Yunmin was too lazy to take care of her, and said casually: "Whatever you want." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Jiang Ji laughed, turned his head and said to Qin Ji: "Brother Qin Ji, I am not familiar with this place, you have to accompany me!" ”

“……”

"Jiang Yuan, do you know how to be ashamed, it is very important for women to be reserved, understand?"

"What's the point of being reserved and not being able to eat...... Brother Qin Ji, are you waiting for me...... Oops, why are you walking so fast......"

…...

Qin Ji and Jiang Zhuan's voices became smaller and quieter, and Mo Shuoyue also stopped in silence, turned around and went back.

Yuyang didn't seem too surprised when he saw Mo Shuoyue, who had gone and returned, silently poured two cups of tea, and then quietly withdrew.

Li Yunmin raised her chin slightly and motioned for her to sit down opposite.

Mo Shuoyue looked at the plausible painting on the table, and asked straight to the point: "Does the prince know the origin of this painting?" ”

"Yes, and I know exactly where it came from."

Mo Shuoyue didn't speak, just looked at him with a slight inquiry in her eyes.

"I painted this painting."

Mo Shuoyue was stunned, her hand that had taken the dim sum was stagnant in mid-air, and she couldn't stop muttering: "No, why is the prince's painting in Lin Miaoniang's house?" ”

"That's a question, I'll answer it later." Li Yunmin pushed a few dim sum lamps in front of him in the direction of Mo Shuoyue, and followed his train of thought and said: "This painting was painted when I was eleven years old, you see here-"

Li Yunmin pointed to three balls of ink, "There are actually three people here." From left to right, the first painting depicts a man struggling on the ground, his body twisted, next to a fragment of a tea cup, a person being poisoned. In the second, a man falls into the water, struggles in the water, and dies. ”

In front of Mo Shuoyue's eyes, there was a sudden situation in front of the Qujiang River where Lu Yin's body was found a few months ago, and Jia Shixiang was poisoned to death in the attic of the Jia family before this.

She looked at the ink and seemed to make out it. Her gaze fell on the third ink ball, but the ink ball was two balls, one on top and one on the other, and the top one didn't look like a person.

Mo Shuoyue stared, lost in thought.

What does the relationship between two people who died in the near future have to do with a painting from ten years ago? Coincidence.

"You see that?"

Seeing Mo Shuoyue's thoughtful expression, with a little understanding, Li Yunmin asked her.

Mo Shuoyue knocked lightly on the low table, and said thoughtfully: "I think this looks like a big bird flying down to peck at people, and the person in red below is desperately escaping....... there seems to be a little red under the black ink, like a small wound." ”

"Well, that's right." Li Yunmin's voice was calm and slow, and he couldn't hear any emotion, as if he was talking about other people's affairs from beginning to end.

Mo Shuoyue pondered for a moment and said, "I have to say that when I see this painting, I will always unconsciously think of the deaths of Jia Shixiang and Lu Yin before. It's like a prophecy fulfilled. ”

She pointed to the third ink mass and was silent for a while before saying, "And this one is more like a prophecy." Dressed in red, Jin Chuan ....... looked like a newlywed woman from a wealthy family was pecked by a big bird. The ....... who is going to marry in Beijing recently"

"Duanping Wangye!"

The two men spoke almost in unison.

If nothing else, once the prince chooses a concubine, he has to choose one of them, and the wedding date will be set soon.
