Chapter VII

The night is getting darker, and the winter night is very cold.

Mrs. Xing was about to continue looking through the account book after letting her daughter go, but before she could read the book in her hand, she saw a little man running into the house panting with something pinching something.

"Oh, you can slow down, don't fall." Mrs. Xing hurriedly put down the account book, seeing that she was far away, she beckoned the maid standing by the door to help: "Why are you back again?" But what fell? ”

Jia Xuan twisted his small body and rushed into the house, panting heavily, secretly saying that he really had to train his body, and said, "Mother, where did you get a few pots of flowers and branches under the window outside your house?" ”

This is an abrupt question. But seeing that her daughter spoke and acted a lot more neatly, Mrs. Xing was overjoyed, and she was especially patient when answering: "I asked for it from your second sister-in-law." She said that it was not yet flowering season, and that she would send me after the spring when there were buds. But I thought it would be better to keep it before it bloomed, so I asked for it. ”

Because there are only flower branches and no flowers and leaves, the smell on them comes out, which makes Jia Xuan smell it. Even so, Wang Xifeng's house should also be stained with this smell, it was too light for her to pay attention.

It's a pity that she didn't release the Medicine Gu King when she went to Wang Xifeng before, because this smell didn't exist in the Medicine Gu King's "memory", so she naturally couldn't recognize it at the corpse.

Jia Xuan had already felt that there should be a master behind the two maids and daughters-in-law. With this layer of involvement, Ming'er has to go there again. Then he said: "Mother, I want to go to Sister Lin Ming'er, they are stubborn, can they make it?" ”

Mrs. Xing didn't want to move around with that side more. Helplessly, her daughter liked it, so she thought about it seriously and finally nodded.

Being able to see Lin Daiyu and find clues to the corpse, Jia Xuan was very happy, and couldn't help but smile heartily.

Mrs. Xing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that she was right to promise the child - she had no biological child, so naturally she had no experience in interacting with the child, so she could only consider it.

It was Wang Shanbao's family who told her that coaxing the child needed to follow the child's temper, and she tried it tonight and it worked.

After Jia Xuan left, Mrs. Xing saw that Yingchun was still walking there like a log, and she didn't stay or stay, and she was secretly annoyed that this concubine didn't have the eyesight to leave quietly and left their mother and daughter to talk alone, so her tone was not good: "You can go." By the way, help me call Wang Shanbao's family, I have something to ask her. ”

Yingchun didn't know what she was displeased with, so she could only nod and respond.

When Yingchun came out of the house, he happened to see the fifth sister talking to the maids. is still a little doll, but he has his hands behind his back like a little adult, and he is very kind of master. Although she is a little stupid, she is more stylish than her.

Yingchun couldn't help but smile, walked over and asked, "What is my sister doing?" Where did Guo's mother go? ”

As she spoke, she saw that Chunzhi glanced at her quickly, and she regretted it a little. In the future, the fifth sister is a concubine, not a concubine like her, what does the concubine want to do, how can she be a concubine who can ask.

The partiality has been spoken.

Welcoming the spring is not to stay, but can only hang his head and twist the handkerchief. I heard Xia Ye say, "That Huoxiang is what Mrs. is waiting for." The five girls asked what was going on? ”

"Mother Guo went to my house to make the bed first." Jia Xuan first replied to Yingchun's words, and Fang said to the maid: "I'm not in good health, I heard people talk about various medicinal materials in Rongguo's mansion today, and when I heard people mention 'Huoxiang', a mother-in-law said that there was a maid with this name next to my mother, so I wanted to ask." ”

When Xia Ye was about to speak, Chunzhi tugged at her sleeve, and signaled to Yingchun Nunu that the second girl was there, don't talk nonsense.

Then Xia Ye closed his mouth and pulled Jia Xuan to go back to the house.

Who knew that Jia Xuan's body was light and small, and he suddenly jumped to the side and dodged, went around behind Yingchun, dragged Yingchun's clothes and smiled and said, "I want to follow the second sister." I'm going to follow the second sister. ”

The two maids naturally refused, so they wanted her to go back to the house first. Jia Xuan hid behind Yingchun and flashed left and right, not letting them catch him. After a while, the two maids sweated on their foreheads.

Wang Shanbao's family opened the curtain when he heard the movement, stood at the door and asked, "Why is it so noisy?" It disturbed my wife's rest. Seeing that Jia Xuan was also there, he couldn't help but be stunned: "The fifth girl hasn't gone back yet." ”

"I wanted to sit in the second sister's house for a while, and the second sister didn't object, but Haruzhi and Natsuha refused to listen to me." Jia Xuan showed a pitiful sad face: "Mother Wang, I don't know if I can go to the second sister's house?" ”

Wang Shanbao's cold eyes swept towards the maids.

Chunzhi was secretly shocked in her heart, knowing that Wang Shanbao's family was extremely valued by her wife, and if she was prejudiced against them, it would be troublesome, so she hurriedly said: "That's the girl heard it wrong, I discussed with Xia Ye to help Mother Guo." Deadly pulled Natsuha aside.

Natsuba grumbled quietly. Chunzhi explained one or two, and said: "I don't know if the girl deliberately recruited Wang Shanbao's family." ”

"How is that possible?" Xia Ye categorically denied: "She is a fool, how can she have this heart." ”

Haruka thought about it and didn't talk about it anymore.

Jia Xuan obediently followed behind Yingchun, and looked back at Wang Shanbao's house at the door from time to time, revealing a timid appearance.

Halfway through, Yingchun thought of the actions of this sister Fang Cai, thinking that her sister was simple and kind to her, so she took a handkerchief and half-covered her mouth and asked, "Do you want to know about that Huoxiang?" ”

"Exactly." Jia Xuan hurriedly said, "Sister has heard of her?" ”

Yingchun saw that there was no one around, and her sister was sensible and talking in a small voice, so she smiled and said: "I've heard of her, I still see her often." But she seems to have been home for a visit recently, and she is not here. If you want to see her, you'll have to wait for her to come back. ”

"Who allowed her to go home to visit? Did she tell her wife personally? ”

Yingchun thought for a long time: "Not really." I remember going to Rongguo Mansion to play with my sisters a few days ago, and I went to the inner room to dry my clothes when I got wet. Listening to Ping'er and Lian's second sister-in-law through the curtain, Lian's second brother and the eldest wife said that Huoxiang was going home, and the matter was urgent, so he and the eldest lady were dragged to say goodbye. ”

It's Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian again! Jia Xuan's footsteps paused: "Second sister, do you still remember what day it was?" ”

"Just the day before or the day before yesterday, but the left is not the next two days." Yingchun said: "Because Sister Lin is about to arrive at the house, my grandmother often called us over to eat together in the past two days, and then prepared various things to welcome Sister Lin. ”

The timing is right. Jia Xuan thought to himself. It's only unclear whether Huoxiang's death was before or after Jia Lian gave Mrs. Xing. If it was before, then Jia Lian was extremely suspicious. If so...... Wang Xifeng is not impossible.
