"How do you know?" Li Yuluo asked in shock.
Bo Ruoyou smiled wryly for a moment, without much explanation, she just said: "Miss Li, can you tell me about the situation on the boat that day?"
Li Yuluo looked at Bo Ruoyou in surprise and hesitated for a moment before she spoke, "That day... that day when Ri Odan got off the boat, she fell into the lake because the pedals were a little loose. At that time, there were sisters from the poetry club, Everyone was startled, but luckily there was a boatman on the deck, the boatman jumped down and rescued Oudan, Oudan choked on the water, but he was fine, but his clothes were soaked through."
"The shopkeeper was also taken aback, and quickly arranged Oudan into the guest room. It was already autumn, and it was very cold as soon as the sun went down. Oudan took off his soaked clothes in the guest room, but There was nothing to hide, and it was quite inconvenient on the boat, I was wearing a skirt that day, but Shu'er was wearing two, so Shu'er took off the outer skirt and let Odan cover it first."
"The shopkeeper ordered someone to go to a distant silk shop to buy clothes. We waited for half an hour for the dresses. The shopkeeper in the middle even boiled ginger soup. Odan drank it and there was no problem at the time. We waited for the clothes to be bought. , changed clothes and left, but after going back, he caught wind and cold after all, and it will take a few days to heal."
Bo Ruoyou frowned, "Miss Xu took off her coat, so what was she wearing then?"
Li Yuluo thought for a while, "She wears a sixteen-piece Hunan skirt, and a tulle short jacket on her upper body."
Bo Ruoyou hurriedly asked, "Then where is the cinnabar mole on her body?"
Li Yuluo looked at Bo Ruoyou strangely, pointed to her left arm, "It's on the outside of the upper arm."
Bo Ruoyou thought for a while, and then asked: "But who brought the clothes in? The shopkeeper said that there were no maidservants on board..."
"Yes, there are no maidservants on board. Except for Miss Lu and the others who are in charge of arranging the arrangements, the rest of us will not bring maidservants, otherwise it will be too crowded. At that time, the people who brought the clothes in were from the silk shop. A little girl with a very unfamiliar face, after delivering the clothes, she saw that Odan's clothes fit her and left." After all, Li Yuluo's memory was better than the shopkeeper's, and she knew the situation in the house, she thought for a while and said: "The girl sent it. The dress is quite complicated, and I wanted to help Odan change clothes, but Odan has nothing on his body, and he is not used to changing clothes in front of strangers, so he changed clothes behind the small screen in the house."
Bo Ruoyou was about to ask if she was dressing in front of that girl, but she didn't expect it to be through a screen. Bo Ruoyou had been to that room before, so of course she remembered that there was a screen in the room, and that room was a place for guests to rest , the dressing table and low couch are all ready, if there are many people on the boat, it can also be used as a private room, she frowned slightly.
"You said that Miss Xu has a cinnabar mole on the outside of her arm. Could it be clearly seen through the gauze she was wearing that day?"
Li Yuluo thought for a moment, "It's hard to see. People who are familiar with her will probably know that it is a cinnabar mole, but those who are not familiar with her will probably not notice it at all."
Bo Ruoyou never let go of her frown, the murderer likes the cinnabar mole on a woman's body, even if he can't see it clearly through the tulle, he can immediately know what it is, but the one who went to the silk shop is a little girl.
Li Yuluo looked suspicious, "What's the matter? Why do you ask about the cinnabar mole? Odan was killed by someone, but Shu'er died of her own illness. What does it have to do with the cinnabar mole?"
With such a big man as Ning Xiao present, Bo Ruoyou kept asking about the cinnabar mole, which made Li Yuluo feel a little offended.
Bo Ruoyou's face turned serious, "Miss Li, now it seems that it is not known whether Miss Xu really died of illness."
Li Yuluo's complexion changed drastically, and Bo Ruoyou continued, "Because Miss Feng is not the only one who died this time, and the two deceased have one thing in common, they both like red dresses, not only that, they both have cinnabar moles on their bodies."
Li Yuluo's face became even paler for a moment, and her body swayed, "You mean, Shu'er might have been killed by someone? But... But her family reported the funeral, saying that she died of her own illness."
The family of Wai Lang, a member of the official department, has a lot of taboos for such an honorable family, and there are many possibilities for them to hide and not report. Bo Ruoyou sighed, "This is just a guess, whether it is true or not, we have to go You will find out after inquiring."
After a slight pause, Bo Ruoyou asked Li Yuluo, "Miss Li, think about it carefully, is there anything unusual about getting along with Miss Feng these days? Especially when you are in the poetry club together, does Miss Feng have a good impression of any talented scholar?" , or which young master was he close to? Even if you haven’t seen it with your own eyes, it doesn’t matter, it’s fine if Miss Feng mentioned it occasionally, or paid attention to it.”
Wei Ling's clues were tied to Lu Wenhe for the time being. Bo Ruoyou only felt that the two of them, and even Xu Wanshu, belonged to the Lingxiao Poetry Club. Could all three of them have something to do with a certain young talent? Or it has something to do with the literati circle in Beijing.
When Li Yuluo was asked here, her eyes flickered, she narrowed her eyes and shook her head, "No, I haven't heard her mention it, she... her family made a marriage for her, although no marriage certificate was issued, but his parents and She said that it was a child marriage made by family friends in the early years, and if there is no accident, it will be a small marriage next year."
If a person is ill, his mental strength will always be weaker, especially if a person is not calm enough, it will be easier to show his flaws. A moment ago Li Yuluo was still questioning what she asked, but now she is not even daring to look at her when she is answering. Bo Ruoyou's expression suddenly sank, she looked at Li Yuluo for a moment, "Miss Li, you have an elder brother, right?"
Li Yuluo raised her eyes suddenly, "... yes, I have an older brother."
Bo Ruoyou pursed her lips and stared at her, but Li Yuluo covered her lips with a handkerchief and coughed lightly.
Even Bo Ruoyou could see that she was hiding something, and Ning Xiao was naturally sharper. His eyes turned cold, and his already gloomy face became even more compelling, "Miss Li, I invite you to come here today, but if If you don't tell the truth, then you won't be invited next time."
Ning Xiao's words made Li Yuluo tremble slightly in fright, and the servants beside her were even more terrified and didn't dare to lift their heads. Li Yuluo was nervously clutching her handkerchief, her small face was getting whiter and paler, and she looked like she was on the verge of falling. Sighing, "It was your friend who died. If you knew something, you shouldn't hide it. The murderer must not be your brother, right? Then what are you afraid of?"
Li Yuluo gritted her teeth, and Bo Ruoyou said, "Feng Wodan died pitifully. He was strangled to death. We asked you about the cinnabar mole because the murderer viciously twisted it. He not only killed Feng Wodan Dan, and also peeled off the piece of flesh with the cinnabar mole on Feng Wodan's back."
Li Yuluo raised her head in shock, her eyes were red, and mist soon formed in her eyes, she blinked, and tears began to drip down, "Wodan is the one who is most afraid of pain, and also cherishes herself the most. Yes, how could..."
She said that the knees were bent, but fortunately the servant girl did not collapse, Bo Ruoyou said: "Not only is Feng Wodan like this, Miss Xu may also be murdered, and the girl who was killed once, you also recognize it , is the second lady of Uncle Zhongqin's residence."
Li Yuluo's expression was shocked again, "Linger—"
Bo Ruoyou sighed, "The murderer not only killed them, but may also murder other people. Although I don't know what you are afraid of, anything you say right now may become a clue and help us."
Li Yuluo's tears fell, but she pursed her lips tightly and said nothing. Bo Ruoyou saw her like this and couldn't speak harshly, and was in a dilemma for a while. Ning Xiao looked at Li Yuluo twice, and the impatience on his face became more and more impatient. Heavy, just when he was about to attack, an embroidered envoy walked in from the outside, "Deputy Commander, Mr. Li has arrived."
Li Yuluo opened her lips, "Brother—"
Ning Xiao raised his eyebrows, "Let him in."
When Li Xiuwen came in, he had a tired look on his face. When he saw Li Yuluo crying, his eyes showed a bit of distress, and he looked at Ning Xiao again, with a bit of fear in his eyes. Direct envoy Si Ning, deputy commander."
Li Xiuwen hurriedly saluted, Li Yuluo shed tears more fiercely beside him, Li Xiuwen glanced at him again, finally summoned up his courage and said: "If you want to ask the deputy commander, just ask me, I met her on the day Odan had an accident. "
Ning Xiao sized him up for a moment, "Tell me more in detail."
Li Xiuwen's back was stiff and his face was bitter, "Our family has a good relationship with the Feng family, and Odan and his sister are close friends in the boudoir, and they come to our house many times. I... I like her a little bit, and she also likes her." He has some intentions for me, but... my father wants to marry me an official girl as my wife after my scientific examination next year, and Odan has already made a marriage with a child, we... we can't."
Li Xiuwen's voice was hoarse, and he paused before continuing: "It's just that I couldn't hold back and provoked her. I think her marriage was many years ago, and there is no marriage certificate, but I can make father change his mind. The marriage is not impossible, she was persuaded by me, and since years ago, we will occasionally meet in private."
"It's just that she is afraid of her father, her mother is seriously ill, and she doesn't want to inform the family about me and him earlier. On February 2, I knew she would go, so I waited for her by Weiyang Lake After we met, I went to Chenghuang Temple with her. I just wanted to be alone for a while, but when I talked about my marriage with her, she said that I will take a scientific examination next year, and after the scientific examination, I will explain it to my family. , but I know that she is very likely to get engaged to that family friend next year... "
"We broke up because of this. It was almost dark at that time. I... I left in a hurry and left her there alone. She left her maidservant to meet me. I thought, Anyway, she will go to look for the maid, and I can't send her back, so I will really leave, I didn't expect... "
Li Xiuwen's eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, and at this moment, tears appeared, which seemed to be dripping with blood. He choked up in a low voice, "She didn't return to the house that night, and the Feng family even found our house. I knew at that time that something was wrong. I followed her to find her. I haven’t seen her for a few days. I just wondered if she would go somewhere to hide, but I didn’t expect her to be murdered, and the place where she was murdered was near the Temple of the City God. It was still dark when I left that day, why did she stay there, why didn't she go to her maid..."
"I blame myself very much, but I dare not speak out. This matter... only my sister knows. When I meet her, I mostly rely on my sister to send letters. When my sister asks me, I will tell the truth. But I will take a scientific examination next year. , if you get involved in official complaints, there will be no harm and no benefit, I... I will tell my sister not to say anything, I did not harm her, the government will find the murderer."
Li Xiuwen lowered his head, his back was bent for a while, Li Yuluo was whimpering and crying, looking at the two brothers and sisters, Bo Ruoyou didn't know what to say for a while, but Ning Xiao was unmoved, "Is there anything else?" Did she hide it? She only has friendship with you? But there are others who get close? Also, do you know that he has a cinnabar mole on his body?"
Li Xiuwen raised his eyes sharply, "I don't know... We were passionate and polite, and we didn't do anything over the top. She is a good girl who loves herself, and she doesn't allow me to flirt with you. As for other people, she probably doesn't know them. She and her younger sister went to the poetry club, but they weren't the ones vying for the limelight..."
"When did you part on that day?" Ning Xiao asked again.
"It's between the beginning of the unitary hour and half past the unitary hour. If it's dark today, it's early, but when I left, it was only dusk." After Li Xiuwen finished speaking, his head drooped heavily again.
Ning Xiao thought for a moment, "Let's assume your words are true for now. If there are falsehoods, even if your father comes forward, your scientific examination next year will not count."
Li Xiu didn't react much when he heard the words, so Bo Ruoyou went to look at Li Yuluo again, "Miss Li, can you describe what the little girl in the silk shop looks like?"
Li Yuluo wiped away her tears and gestured, "I'm not tall, maybe half an inch shorter than me, and I'm also very thin, I don't look very old, I can't describe my appearance, it's very ordinary and simple .”
Bo Ruoyou couldn't help but said: "What is the shape of the eyes? How are the rest of the facial features? It's better to be more specific."
Li Yuluo was a little distressed, "It's been a long time, and I only cared about Odan at that time, so I can't remember it. He is a very ordinary person. Now that I think about it, there is almost nothing special about him."
Bo Ruoyou somewhat understood that she had met many people in the Yuchun class on the boat, but now she couldn't describe what a certain person looked like.
"Then do you still remember which silk shop you bought the clothes from?"
Li Yuluo pondered for a moment, "I don't know about this, it took almost an hour before and after, and it should be from Weiyang Lake to Dongshi. Let it out."
Bo Ruoyou nodded, then went to look at Ning Xiao, she had nothing to ask.
Ning Xiao asked: "Miss Xu's family, you know her very well if you think about it, does she have any other close people?"
Li Yuluo shook her head, "No, she doesn't even go out on weekdays."
Ning Xiao frowned, but it was not known whether Xu Wanshu killed him, and he didn't want to ask too much, "Forget it, I will go to Xu's house to ask about these, you go back first, if necessary, I will look for you again, as for you Even if the government doesn't pursue it, you should think about how to inform Feng's family."
Li Xiuwen closed his eyes with ashamed heart, "Don't worry, my lord, this is as it should be, I will come to the door."
Ning Xiao waved his hand, and the brother and sister just backed out.
Early in the morning, Feng Wodan felt that Feng Wodan was going to the Temple of the City God, but the person he didn't want to meet was actually Li Xiuwen. If Li Xiuwen hadn't left that day, if he had sent Feng Wodan back to Wanyun Pavilion, would everything have been different
This question flashed by, but Bo Ruoyou was hesitant in his heart. The murderer had already set his sights on Feng Wodan. To see Li Xiuwen
Thinking of this, Bo Ruoyou hurriedly chased her out. Ning Xiao didn't know what was wrong with her, and followed her with a raised eyebrow. Outside the yamen, Li Xiuwen was helping Li Yuluo into the carriage.
"Young Master Li—"
Li Xiuwen turned his head and cupped his hands when he saw Bo Ruoyou coming out, "What's the matter, girl?"
Li Xiuwen didn't know Bo Ruoyou's identity, but she was able to act freely in the government, and her status was not low, so she was very polite, so Bo Ruoyou asked, "When you met Miss Feng that day, did anyone else know?"
Li Xiuwen thought for a while, "Only my younger sister knows, but she won't tell others before my younger sister goes out."
Bo Ruoyou thought, Feng Wodan even kept the maidservant a secret, so naturally she would not easily tell others about this matter, and she is a woman, so she is more cautious and reserved, the agreement between the two is mostly revealed by Li Xiuwen.
"Then have you met anyone since you went out?"
Li Xiuwen frowned and thought for a while, "I haven't met anyone. We made an appointment to meet at the north of Wanyun Pavilion. She wanted to release her life, so I went a bit late. I didn't meet anyone here."
Bo Ruoyou's eyes darkened, "Since that's the case, Mr. Li, please go back."
Li Xiuwen nodded and turned to get on the carriage, but just as he was about to get into the carriage, he seemed to think of something and said: "Although no one knows what I did that day, there was originally a literary society in Chunfenglou that day." , I was invited by a classmate, and I originally agreed to go, so I sent a book boy to Chunfenglou to leave a letter the day before the literary meeting, saying that I would not go that day, I wonder if this counts?"
Bo Ruoyou's eyes lighted up slightly, "Of course it counts!"
Li Xiuwen's eyes were filled with joy, and then he got into the carriage and watched their carriage go away. Bo Ruoyou just turned around, "Deputy Commander, I'm afraid I have to send someone to Chunfeng Tower to ask, and I will give Feng Feng that night. The little girl from the silk shop where the girl sent the clothes, and the matter of Miss Xu, the Xu family has not reported to the officials, it is very likely that we are all soldiers, but it is really a coincidence."
Ning Xiao frowned, "Miss Li said that the one who gave the clothes was a girl, she doesn't look very old, could she be the murderer?"
Bo Ruoyou said: "The murderer killed Feng Wodan and Wei Ling successively. Both of them have a pretty figure, and the murderer used methods like strangling and pinching, which required some strength. That girl might not be the murderer. But she was the only outsider that day, if she inadvertently told others about the cinnabar mole on Miss Xu's body, that other person might be the murderer."
After all, cinnabar moles grow in hidden places, and there are very few opportunities for ladies from ordinary families to show themselves outside. The accident on the boat is indeed an opportunity. Ning Xiao pondered for a while, "Forget it, I have sent someone to inquire about the silk shop they often go to before. I haven't found any weird places, I will send people to Huafang and Chunfenglou to investigate again."
It was still early at this time, and Bo Ruoyou asked again, "What about the Xu family?"
The two were talking at the gate of the yamen, and as soon as Bo Ruoyou finished speaking, Wu Xiang arrived. Seeing that Ning Xiao and Bo Ruoyou were both there, he hurried over with some shame, and heard that the Li family brothers and sisters had come, and knew That day, Feng Wodan had an appointment with Mr. Li's family, and he showed his anger, "I knew that kid had a problem. When I asked for the first time, he kept silent but listened. Then the Li family The young lady is so sick that it is difficult for people to press her."
Bo Ruoyou said again: "Not only that, there may be another victim in this case."
When she told about the friendship between the girl from the Xu family and Feng Wodan, Wu Xiang's eyes widened even more, "You mean that the girl from the Xu family might have been murdered, but her family didn't report it to the police? Instead, she said she was murdered." Died of illness, and then buried her like this?"
Bo Ruoyou nodded, at this moment Ning Xiao said: "There is no evidence for this matter, I am afraid they will not admit it if you come to the door rashly, but they dare not resist when Xiu Yi shows up, but I still need to inform Lord Hou, I will send someone Go back to Hou's mansion, Lord Hou didn't leave the palace all night last night, I don't know if he has returned to the mansion at this moment."
Although Bo Ruoyou didn't say anything, she was a little startled in her heart. Yesterday the palace was summoned urgently, but Huo Weilou didn't come back all night, presumably something very important happened, she couldn't help but softly said: "Master Hou is so busy. ?"
After Ning Xiao ordered the embroiderer, he frowned and looked at Bo Ruoyou, "Master Hou has always been like this."
Bo Ruoyou couldn't help but said: "But Master Hou was Mu Xiu yesterday—"
Mu Xiu, an ordinary official, really doesn't ask about the affairs of the Yasi in the mansion, but Ning Xiao said a little depressed: "Master Hou has never been to Mu Xiu, and I don't know what happened yesterday..."
Bo Ruoyou was taken aback by this remark, she wanted to ask again, but Ning Xiao had a cold face, looking uncomfortable, she swallowed what she was about to say, Ning Xiao said sharply: "Get ready, get the autopsy utensils Take it, let's go to Xu's house."
Bo Ruoyou said: "The people of the Feng family are still in the future."
Ning Xiao shook his head, "Look for two yamen servants, wait for her to come and ask about Mr. Li's affairs, the person I saw that day is already clear, so there is no need to wait for her."
Both Bo Ruoyou and Wu Xiang responded, and the group left the Yamen not long after.
Xu Kangwei, as a member of the official department, is not high or low, but he is also under the supervision of the embroidered clothes envoy, and Ning Xiao obviously knows this person, so he knows where Xu's family is without asking, and he will lead the way. People went straight to Yongding Square in the southwest of the city.
Yongkangfang and Yongdingfang are very close, both are in the south of the city, but Yongdingfang is mostly private residences and government households, and it is close to Yujie Street, so it is a little richer. When the group stopped outside the gate of Xu's house, they only saw a An official residence with a high gate and a wide forehead.
The embroidered envoy stepped forward to call the door, the door opened, and he recognized the official uniform of the embroidered envoy at a glance, his complexion changed slightly, and an embroidered envoy came forward and said: "The embroidered envoy is in charge of handling the case, and your master came to welcome— "
The concierge turned pale with fright, "Master... the master went to the yamen..."
Ning Xiao stepped forward and pushed the door open, "Then ask your wife to come out and ask questions."
The concierge Nuonuo responded, turned around and ran away quickly.
Ning Xiao led everyone into the door and waited in front of the screen wall. The Xu family's mansion is quite old, and because of its excellent maintenance, the courtyard is exquisite and neat everywhere, and it also reveals the heritage of the family. Ning Xiao After looking at it for a while, a woman in fine clothes came out quickly from behind with a group of maidservants.
The woman at the head is Mrs. Xu, about 30 years old, with beautiful clothes and rich makeup. When she saw Ning Xiao, her expression was a little nervous, but when she saw Bo Ruoyou, she was slightly taken aback. An embroidered emissary said: "This It's the deputy commander of our direct envoy."
Mrs. Xu hurriedly blessed her, "To see the deputy commander, why did you come to the door? Could it be our master..."
Mrs. Xu seemed to think that Xu Kangwei had committed a crime, but Ning Xiao frowned and asked, "Your lady just passed away, right?"
Mrs. Xu raised her head in surprise, "It's ... he passed away after a year."
Ning Xiao had doubts on his face, "Did he really die of illness?"
Mrs. Xu said bitterly: "Of course it is true."
Ning Xiao then asked: "Which doctor was invited when he died of illness?"
At this point in the question, Madam Xu shook her head, "I have never invited a doctor. Wan Shu has been sick since she was a child. Over the years, when winter comes, she feels that she can't get over it. She has survived it before, but she didn't get over it this time. When she died of illness, she looked fine on the surface, but suddenly something went wrong that night, the people who served her didn't notice it, and when she found something wrong in the morning, she was already out of breath, so we didn't call a doctor."
"You mean...she had been seriously ill for a long time, but she suddenly died of a serious illness on the day she died?" Ning Xiao looked at Mrs. Xu coldly.
Mrs. Xu nodded, "That's true." After a pause, she continued: "Her death was within our expectation, but somehow the Chief Envoy was alarmed? The Master went to the Yamen and didn't return, so the Commander went in and had a cup of tea first. Bar."
Ning Xiao walked in, Bo Ruoyou followed behind, just around the screen wall, he saw the silver-red lantern hanging on the corridor. Not far away, there was a servant girl looking over here, as if she was a little surprised that the embroidered envoy came to the house, Bo Ruoyou looked at the expressions on the faces of those people, but most of them were excited to watch the excitement.
Bo Ruoyou felt a little weird. Not long after Xu Wanshu's death, the red lanterns were hung high in the mansion, and the servants were all in high spirits, and Mrs. Xu mentioned that her daughter died of illness without any trace of sadness, and said that it was As everyone expected, Xu Wanshu was sick and died, but she didn't even ask for a doctor. There were many doubts, and Bo Ruoyou felt that Xu Wanshu's death was different.
The group had just walked a short distance, but suddenly saw a cat scurrying out of the flower garden beside it. It was a small white cat with a snow-white body, and it looked like a domestic cat rather than a wild cat. Ning Xiao stopped , Bo Ruoyou also hurriedly stopped, the cat sprinted past them, and before they said anything, a five or six-year-old boy also sprinted out from the flowerbed.
"Catch it! Catch it for me—"
The boy was holding a cane in his hand, with an angry expression on his face, and the two servants behind him rushed out together, but they didn't expect to bump into so many people, and they froze for a while.
Mrs. Xu's complexion changed, "Yan'er, what are you doing? There are guests at home, why don't you go back to the inner courtyard?"
The young master of the Xu family raised his brows, "Mother, that cat scratched my clothes, I want to kill it, it really was raised by a sick child, it's just as bad as a sick child!"
Mrs. Xu almost went forward to cover his mouth. She glared at the two servants for a moment, "Why are you standing there, why don't you take him back?"
The two boys came back to their senses, then quickly picked him up, turned around and walked away quickly.
The young master of the Xu family barked, and Mrs. Xu smiled wryly, "The dog is young, but he is very stubborn. I made adults laugh. Please, please—"
Ning Xiao went to the main hall with a blank face, and when he sat down in the main hall, Ning Xiao asked: "The sick child that the young master just mentioned is the eldest lady of the family, right?"
Mrs. Xu smiled wryly for a moment, "The relationship between their siblings is good, but Yan'er is not used to being old or young..."
If a person is still alive, it can be said that he is not big or small, but if he is dead, he still calls him like this, and the words he hates Xu Wanshu, how can this show that the relationship is good
Mrs. Xu courteously ordered someone to bring refreshments, Ning Xiao looked at her for a moment, "If that's the case, let's wait for Master Xu to come back."
Mrs. Xu immediately said: "My lord, later, I will send someone to ask the master to come back."
Ning Xiao raised his hand, "No need, just let the embroidered clothes go, and Mrs. Xu just sit here and wait with us."
Mrs. Xu stopped on the spot when she was about to step out. An embroidered dresser at the door turned and walked out. Mrs. Xu forced a smile, then turned around and sat stiffly on the chair. She is a woman and has nothing to do with Ning Xiao. It's nice to chat, and Ning Xiao's face is cold, and it's quite aggressive. At this time, Bo Ruoyou suddenly asked: "Ma'am, is the eldest lady in the house from Madam?"
These words made Mrs. Xu's complexion even more blue and red, "No... no, I am the master's continuation..."
There is nothing to hide about this matter, just ask any servant to find out, so Mrs. Xu also answered very neatly, Bo Ruoyou nodded and stopped asking, but she understood in her heart.
Ning Xiao said that waiting is really waiting. After all, Mrs. Xu is a woman in the inner house. The deterrent method he directly envoys is more useful to Xu Kangwei. Instead of practicing Tai Chi with this Mrs. Xu, it is better to wait for Xu Kangwei return.
It will take at least half an hour for the Embroidered Clothes Envoy to go here. Ning Xiao was ready to drink two more cups of tea, but he didn't expect that the Embroidered Clothes Envoy would come back after going out for a while. Ning Xiao frowned when he saw his figure appear He wanted to ask, but before he could speak, he stood up first, because he saw someone who shouldn't be here.
"Why is Lord Hou here?!"
Bo Ruoyou was contemplating the inside story of Xu Wanshu's death, she hadn't noticed the Embroidery Envoy came back, she turned her eyes and saw Huo Weilou striding forward, she also stood up in shock, couldn't help it Take a step towards the hall door.
Huo Weilou strode into the hall door, and behind him was a middle-aged man with a face of cold sweat. It was Xu Kangwei who was going to be invited by the embroiderer. The news of his return came, Master Xu also went to invite him at the same time, but happened to meet him at the door."
Lanzheng Square is quite far away from here, so Huo Weilou came here almost as soon as he heard the news. Ning Xiao asked Huo Weilou to take a seat and let him go aside. Turning his eyes, he saw Bo Ruoyou who was a little surprised. Ning Xiao frowned, and a thought that he couldn't accept came up.
When Huo Weilou entered the door, he saw the surprise in Bo Ruoyou's eyes. When he was seated, the light in Bo Ruoyou's eyes had not faded, the corners of his lips curved slightly, and he met her eyes for a moment before he began to ask questions.
But Bo Ruoyou didn't look away in a hurry, she saw the faint blackness under Huo Weilou's eyes, at this moment, the joy in her heart was replaced by concern and worry, and it was a bit complicated and difficult to understand for a while.
