"Hey!"

Tang Rou accidentally sighed, and the hand that wanted to cover her mouth paused in mid-air, because it was too late.

"Is it Xiaorou?"

At the same time as Qi Ying's voice sounded, the door had already been opened.

"Come in and talk. ”

The second owner, who has always been serious and unsmiling, has an incomparably soft voice at this moment.

Now that it has been discovered, although Tang Rou is a little embarrassed, she still walks in generously, after all, in Tang Rou's opinion, Qi Ying, the owner of the second village, is also an extremely kind and friendly person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

"The second owner. Tang Rou respectfully greeted the salute before walking over and sitting down.

Qi Ying picked up the teapot and poured a glass of water for Tang Rou, "Xiao Rou wants to ask me about Xiao Yu, right?"

"The younger generation knows that this is a bit abrupt, but ......"

"You have experienced so many things with Xiao Yu, I know that you care about him and worry about him," Qi Ying paused, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile, "I know, if Xiao Yu hadn't met you, I'm afraid I would have been trapped in that place, and I don't know how to thank you for this." ”

Tang Rou waved her hand again and again, "No, no, if it weren't for Brother Shi Yu, I wouldn't have been able to come back smoothly, I have to thank him, so, I ...... his affairs."

"That year, he came to Tingjian Villa to steal things," Qi Ying cut off Tang Rou's words without a trace, "but he will always be caught by me, because he never hurts people, just to steal, I just teach him a few words every time, and let him go, but he is a stubborn person, no matter how many times he fails, he never gives up." ”

Tang Rou nodded, "I know this, Qi Xuan told me before, and then Brother Shi Yu was injured, and you took him as an apprentice while he stayed in Tingjian Villa to recuperate." ”

"Yes," Qi Ying showed a shallow smile, "I never accept apprentices, Xiao Yu is my first personal disciple, he lived in Tingjian Villa for three years, and those three years were also the happiest times in my life." ”

"That'...... That thing...... What's going on? Your lady?"

Qi Ying changed from a shallow smile to a wry smile, "My wife, everyone calls her Mei Niang, have you seen Yan Yiyi, what kind of character do you think she is?"

"This ......" Tang Rou doesn't like to say Yiyi, that person is arrogant and arrogant, selfish and willful, no matter what he does, he only thinks about himself, and never thinks about others.

Qi Ying had already seen the answer from Tang Rou's eyes, and continued, "Mei Niang used to be like that, he liked me and married me by any means. ”

"Unscrupulous?" Tang Rou's eyes widened in surprise, although she had never seen the second owner's wife, but from Qi Xuan's mouth, she knew that the second owner's wife should be an amiable person, why did Qi Ying compare her with Yanyi, and also used the word unscrupulous.

"However, speaking of which, the personalities are very similar, but Mei Niang is much smarter than Yan Yiyi, she is scheming and calculating, and she will pretend in front of outsiders, so that everyone thinks that I married her, which is the greatest luck in my life, hum, it's really ridiculous. ”

Tang Rou couldn't believe it, but she couldn't say anything, just listened quietly.

Qi Ying picked up the water cup and moistened her throat, "After Mei Niang successfully married me, she became very gentle, very good to everyone in the villa, and loved Xuan'er very much, in short, no one in the villa did not say that she was good, so I, who had always been very cold to her, became a ruthless and unrighteous cold-blooded person in everyone's mouth." ”

"Second owner?"

Qi Ying glanced at Tang Rou, "I thought that this life would be like this, until I took Xiao Yu as an apprentice, and my life finally had a trace of brightness and sweetness." ”

Qi Ying's words always made Tang Rou feel a little inexplicable, but Tang Rou didn't ask much, and only listened to Qi Ying continue, " Mei Niang knows that I love Xiao Yu, so I am also very good to Xiao Yu, so good that for a while, I began to feel that I was not too prejudiced against her, and felt ashamed of her, however, I just felt like this, for Mei Niang, I have never been able to have love, even if she is really trying to change, I can't have even a little love for her, but Xiao Yu is different, since I inadvertently knew his identity, I was already very fond of him, and finally couldn't extricate myself from falling in love with him. ”

"What!" Tang Rou was completely shocked, "Second Zhuang Master, what did you say, you fell in love with Shi Yu?"

Tang Rou was shocked, not because such love can't exist, she has always thought that this kind of love is more sacred and worthy of recognition than any other love, Luo Hanyu and Liu Xiao's relationship is so pure and sincere, it is the best proof, but people like Qi Ying and people like Shi Yu are unimaginable.

Wait a minute! Tang Rou suddenly thought, Qi Ying just said a word, Shi Yu's identity, what is Shi Yu's identity? Isn't he a person from Jingyun Village? What else can he have?

"Didn't Qi Xuan tell you?"

Tang Rou shook her head, "What did you just say about Shi Yu's identity? Qi Xuan didn't tell me that Shi Yu has other identities. ”

The answer given by Qi Ying almost made Tang Rou fall off the stool.

"Shi Yu, not a man, but a woman. ”

"Huh?!"

"It seems that you really don't know. ”

Tang Rou swallowed her saliva fiercely, "This...... How is that possible?"

Thinking back to all kinds of getting along with Shi Yu, his every word and deed, there is a woman's appearance, if there is, it is better looking than ordinary men, but not as good as Xiang Tianhe, and there is no place on his body that looks like a woman.

"Do you know that ridiculous custom of their Jingyun Village?"

Tang Roumu nodded, "Well, I know, Brother Shi Yu...... No, Shi Yu told me. ”

Qi Ying explained, "Before Shi Yu was born, her father died, and her mother didn't want her to suffer the same pain as herself, so from the moment she was born, she was raised as a boy, and during the voice change period, she was forcibly turned into a man's voice with drugs." ”

"How so? How did her mother do it? Didn't anyone in their village find out?"

Because her mother's father used to be the most powerful doctor in the village, she always knew the cause of the strange illness of the women in the village, but even if she knew, she could not do anything about it, and the customs of a place, like a person's habits, were indeed not so easy to change. ”

Hearing such a thing, Tang Rou felt that she was indigestible for a while, but when she thought that Shi Yu had become like that because of such a ridiculous custom, she couldn't help but feel a trace of anger in her heart.

"It's so damning!"

"Yes," Qi Ying chimed in, "it's ridiculous and stupid. ”

After Tang Rou's atmosphere, he asked Qi Ying randomly, "The second owner, how did you find out that Shi Yu is a woman?"

"Once she went out with me on an errand and was injured. ”

At this point, it's already very clear.

However, Tang Rou still had a question, "No, I remember Qi Xuan told me that the last time Shi Yu was seriously injured and fell at the gate of Tingjian Villa, you called the senior doctor to treat Shi Yu, didn't the senior doctor find out that Shi Yu was not a man?"

He found out, but he didn't say it, because there must be a reason why a person has a hidden identity, and the strange doctor has his principle of being a healer, so he didn't say it. ”

"Then no one has seen his injuries before the Strange Doctor came?"

"Yes, Qi Xuan, he is also half of the apprentice of the strange doctor, and it was when Xuan'er was obsessed with medical skills, so he was responsible for dealing with Xiao Yu's injuries before the strange doctor came, but the strange thing is that he didn't say it, and he didn't even tell anyone, now, isn't it even you?"

What kind of person is Qi Xuan, Tang Rou naturally knows that Shi Yu has always walked the rivers and lakes as a man, and in order to protect him, Qi Xuan will never reveal to anyone that Shi Yu is a woman, which is extremely dangerous news for Shi Yu.

"And what happened? How did your wife die?"

"It's all my fault, my love for Xiao Yu, expressed too obviously, although when there are others, I will restrain myself, but whenever I am alone, I can't help but reveal my love for Xiao Yu, my excessive love and spoiling of Xiao Yu, maybe in the eyes of others, it is the elder to the junior, the teacher's love for the apprentice, but in the eyes of Mei Niang, maybe not, I ignored it, Mei Niang died for a long time, I remembered, Mei Niang once asked me, do you love Xiao Yu very much? I don't know, does Mei Niang also know that Xiao Yu is actually a woman?"

Tang Rou looked at Qi Ying like this, and had an indescribable sense of helplessness, it seemed that such a powerful person, when facing feelings, would be so confused and overwhelmed.

"So," Tang Rou asked cautiously, "The second lady of the village would choose to commit suicide to blame Shi Yu, what she can't get, others can't think of it?"

"Otherwise, Xiao Yu has no reason to kill Mei Niang, even if so many pairs of eyes see Shi Yu standing in front of Mei Niang's corpse with a bloody soft sword, such a scene is in front of everyone, Xiao Yu has no way to justify, and Mei Niang is a very smart person, she did not leave any clues, which can prove that she committed suicide. ”

"I know," Tang Rou said, "Qi Xuan said that at that time, in addition to him, the owner of the second village also firmly believed that the person was not killed by Shi Yu, but he couldn't find evidence that could prove it. ”

Qi Ying nodded and said, "Yes, and in addition to Mei Niang's usual kindness to the people in the Villa, she is also the daughter of a close confidant of my father, he was still alive at the time, and the people who listened to the Sword Villa respected him very much, so in the absence of any evidence to prove that Mei Niang committed suicide, almost everyone who listened to the Sword Villa wanted to kill Xiao Yu immediately." ”

"Then you ......"

"No one believes that whether it is me or Xuan'er, without any evidence, anything we say will only be considered as a cover-up, ruthless and cruel to Mei Niang. ”

"What about the owner of Qi Ao Village?" Tang Rou asked, "Doesn't he believe you either?"

Qi Ying smiled bitterly, "Big brother believes it or not, it is not believed, because he is the owner of Tingjian Villa, so he can't have any selfish intentions." ”
