[Tomorrow, the third shift will make the bottom. 】
The words are divided into two parts.
But he said that because the bamboo forest was not very far from Rongxi Hall, Jia Zheng simply led everyone to the courtyard where Rongxi Hall was located.
However, he didn't go to the main hall, and was waiting in the three penthouses in the northeast corner.
Jia Zheng shared a room with Concubine Zhao, and the brothers and girls shared a room. As for the last room, it was naturally cheaper for the servants with status in the government.
Not to mention the beginning and the end, just say that in the central penthouse, because Wang Xifeng was not awake from a hangover, and Madam Wang and Madam Xing did not show up, Li Wan alone occupied the soft collapse in the north.
For some reason, her red and swollen eyes were slightly closed, her left hand was tucked into her sleeve, and her right hand was half exposed.
And from below her, the Detachment of Women sitting against the wall, those with their handkerchiefs twisted, those with their cheeks on their hands, and those with their eyes rolled around, all remained silent.
Among them, especially Jia Baoyu—or rather, if he hadn’t lowered his head and looked lost, the atmosphere in this room would not have been so solidified.
Suddenly, the door curtain was lifted, but Mu Yue and Qiu Wen walked in, each holding a few cups of tea to distribute.
Just at this juncture, Shi Xiangyun suddenly jumped up and pouted at Baoyu with his honey-colored mouth: "Second brother, what the hell are you..."

Unexpectedly, just after he started talking, there was a sudden sound of crispness around him, but Qiuwen accidentally knocked over the teacup, and the fragments and tea splashed around.
However, the rest of the people turned a blind eye, or hoped, warned, or doubted, and locked their eyes on Shi Xiangyun.
Shi Xiangyun usually gets anxious and has a stern attitude, but at this time, facing so many gazes and looking at Jia Baoyu's increasingly drooping neck, he finally swallowed his words and sat back in the official hat chair. up, the goose-oval face turned blood red.
Following several complaints from Mu Yue and Qiu Wen's repeated accusations of guilt, new tea was soon brought up, and the wreckage of the tea cup was cleaned up, leaving only a large wet mark.
After that, the room returned to a dead silence.
Not long after that, Zhou Rui came in and reported, "Grandma, Master Sun, please come over with the second master and the girls."
All the talents came alive again.
Xue Baoqin, who got up first, although she is very close to the brothers and sisters in this mansion, but after all, she has only come to Yueyu Jingjing, and she still has some spectator thoughts in her bones.
The next ones who stood up were Jia Tanchun and Shi Xiangyun, followed by Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Jia Xichun, and they all stood up.
However, after the girls got up, they did not move their footsteps, but looked at Jia Baoyu in unison.
"Brother Bao?"
After a long while, seeing Baoyu still sitting there motionless, Xue Baochai gently shoved his shoulder with his backhand: "Second brother of the Sun family, let us go over."
"Ah? Ah!"
Only then did Jia Baoyu react, and hurriedly got up from the official hat chair and raised his head subconsciously, but as soon as he saw something, he hurriedly hung down, hunched over, and fled out of the ear room.
"Second brother, wait for me!"
Shi Xiangyun started chasing after him, and Yingying and Yanyan also filed out behind.
This time, Lin Daiyu fell behind. Through the many figures in front, she silently watched Jia Baoyu's staggering back, clenching her silver teeth unconsciously.
At this moment, Daiyu suddenly realized that someone was beside her, turned her head subconsciously, but met Xue Baochai's gaze.
Feeling the inquiring emotion in those eyes, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but blurt out, "It's not him! Brother Bao would never do such a thing!"
The smile in Xue Baochai's eyes flashed away, he nodded solemnly, and said in a low voice: "I know this, I'm afraid he's confused and takes things to himself..."
When Lin Daiyu heard something in her words, she quickly pressed her throat and asked, "What did my sister see?"
Then I remembered something again, and tentatively added: "My sister has always been the most careful when it comes to the cost of food and clothing. Could it be that you have seen that hairpin before?"
At the beginning, Lin Daiyu used this remark to sneer at Xue Baochai, but now she is full of hope.
Xue Baochai didn't deny it, but didn't admit it. He just said softly: "Sister, let's take good care of Brother Bao first, and let me go and see what the second brother of the Sun family is saying."
Lin Daiyu hurriedly turned her head into confusion. At this time, she was desperately ill and went to the doctor. She also wanted to give Baochai some benefits. However, she absolutely refused to give Baochai what she wanted.
In the end, he could only say a thousand blessings with a complicated mind, and then quickened his pace to catch up with Baoyu.
The book does not go into details.
When the group arrived in the bamboo forest, they saw a few servants holding lanterns, surrounded by the corpse and Sun Shaozong.
And the mink fur on the corpse had already been peeled off halfway, revealing the cotton vest inside and the thin arms with the sleeves rolled off.
Seeing a crowd of Yingying and Yanyan flanking Jia Baoyu, Sun Shaozong tore off the sleeve without a trace and covered Jia Huan's left arm again, and then got up to meet him.
"I've seen Second Brother Sun."
Xue Baochai took the lead, and all the girls and Jia Baoyu all greeted him.
"Thank you sisters."
Sun Shaozong gave a hand across Zhang Xu Yuanxu, looked around, and finally set his eyes on Xue Baochai, cleared his throat and said, "About this murder weapon, I want to inquire a few words from your sisters alone - just from Xue Baochai. Let’s start with the girls, let’s go down by grade.”
Saying that, he wanted to pass a lantern and walked a dozen or so steps to the remote place, so that the whispered conversation would not be overheard, and everyone could vaguely see the state of the conversation between the two, and nothing would be heard. gossip.
"Sister Bao."
Shi Xiangyun reached out and grabbed Xue Baochai, staring at her watery, wanting to ask a few words, but he really didn't know what to say.
Xue Baochai did not speak, but patted the back of Shi Xiangyun's hand with his backhand, and while breaking free, gave Lin Daiyu a meaningful wink.
Although she doesn't want to admit it, if things are really as she imagined, and there is a chance to persuade Jia Baoyu not to do stupid things, I'm afraid it will be only Lin Daiyu.
Turning around and walking quickly to Sun Shaozong's side, the two stood about half a zhang apart, one looked up and the other looked down, but they both lost their words.
Xue Baochai was speechless for a moment, thinking about how to get Sun Shaozong's opinion on the case.
As for Sun Shaozong...
He just suddenly thought of the fact that he had just slept with his mother in the next room a few days ago, and he felt a little embarrassed unconsciously.
"What did the second brother find out just now?"
In the end, Xue Baochai spoke first.
"Is this..."
Sun Shaozong originally planned to perfunctory her a few words, and then come face to face with the person of doubt in his heart as soon as possible.
But when the words reached his lips, he suddenly found that Xue Baochai's facial expressions were a little strange, as if... he was trying his best to hide something.
Sun Shaozong was taken aback.
Could it be that she was the real murderer who attacked Jia Huan again after the owner of the copper hairpin? !
