Pang Yi was so busy that he invited Kong Wenmin into the house, and after a while, Chen Qingxuan rushed out. Not even wearing a thick padded jacket, Pang Yi took the padded robe and chased him out, and then Kong Wenmin and Zhong Mingwei also came out. Both of them had serious expressions on their faces.
"What's the matter?" Meiya was so upset that she was too busy to stop Zhong Mingwei. "Where are you going? What's the matter?"
Zhong Mingwei didn't seem to want to tell Meiya much. Pursing her lips, she glanced at Kong Wenmin again, and immediately Kong Wenmin bowed out first.
"What's going on?" Meiya was dying of anxiety. Zhong Mingwei seldom had such a dignified expression, and looking at the actions of Pang Yi, Chen Qingxuan and Kong Wenmin, something must have happened. Her heart was beating "chug chug". "Tell me! Don't hide it from me!"
"I didn't want to tell you, but it's good to tell you. At this time, a woman must go with me." Zhong Mingwei said in a deep voice. He looked sideways at the smoking chimney above the kitchen. Hearing Grandma Chen's hearty laughter from time to time, her eyes became darker for a while. After a pause, he turned his head and said to Meiya. "Miss Gu has an accident."
"What happened? What happened to her... what happened to her?" Meiya immediately stuttered.
"I met a bad person on the way to buy wine, she... she accidentally killed someone," Zhong Mingwei said in a deep voice. Speaking of this, he paused, as if he was struggling to speak, "It happened that the guard Kong passed by, and brought her and the corpses of that scoundrel back to the magistrate's yamen." Having said this, Zhong Mingwei patted Meiya's shoulder, and then whispered, "You can go over and talk to her, she must be terrified when such a thing happens to her family."
"Okay, wait for me." Meiya took a deep breath and exhaled it again, then hurriedly went to the room to take out her cotton padded jacket and cloak, and held them in her hands without wearing them.
"Why don't you put it on?" Zhong Mingwei frowned.
"I'll put it on for Miss Gu later." Meiya said, since she accidentally killed someone, Gu Qingtong might be covered with blood.
Zhong Mingwei didn't say anything else, immediately took off his cloak and put it on Meiya, then pulled Meiya and walked out.
"Where are you going?" As soon as Xiao An came out, she saw Zhong Mingwei and Meiya walking out, and was immediately stunned, "What's the matter?"
"Sister An, stay at home and spend time with Grandma Chen," Meiya whispered to Xiao An, paused, and then added, "Something happened to Miss Gu."
"Understood, you guys go quickly, I'll stay with Grandma Chen at home." Seeing the expressions of Meiya and Zhong Mingwei, Xiao An knew that something serious might happen to Gu Qingtong, so she stopped asking more questions and urged Meiya and Zhong Mingwei Zhong Mingwei hurried away.
…
Prefect Yamen.
As soon as Kong Wenmin grabbed the reins, Chen Qingxuan pushed open the car door, jumped down, and then rushed in without hesitation. Zhong Mingwei looked at the situation and patted Kong Wenmin in a hurry, saying: "Guard Kong, hurry up!" Follow in and take a look, stop Mr. Chen a bit, and hand over the carriage to Pang Yi."
Chen Qingxuan and his cousin have always had a very good relationship, probably much better than ordinary brothers and sisters. Gu Qingtong's sudden occurrence of such a thing, Chen Qingxuan's impulsiveness, is likely to cause trouble.
"Yes, my subordinate obeys orders." Kong Wenmin was also very worried. The deceased was the only son of Yuan Mengwai in Mengjiatun. As soon as he heard the news of his son's death, the old couple went crazy and drove away with all the family members and servants. Come here, if I didn't worry about being in the magistrate's yamen, I'm afraid Gu Qingtong would have been hacked into pieces. Now that I see Chen Qingxuan going in, I don't know how chaotic it is inside.
"Why stop Mr. Chen?" Meiya couldn't understand Zhong Mingwei at all. Ever since she heard that something happened to Gu Qingtong, her temples jumped up and down, "Don't say it's Mr. Chen, even me I can't wait to kick that scoundrel's dead body twice, it's really cheap for him to die like this!"
