Chapter 260 Many Clues
The wind in my ears was still whistling, and such vicious words made the listeners feel a chill in their hearts.
This special scene inside the rockery cave makes the sounds heard both clear and vague.
It is clear because every word can be heard clearly, and it is blurry because the cave has caused some changes in the quality of the sound, making it difficult to tell who is speaking.
"Will she really send me away? Dad, I don't want to leave the capital!"
"Don't worry, I will never let you end up in such a situation. Daddy didn't make it to the top, but I will definitely do my best to lift you up!"
"Daddy, you are so good to me!"
"Of course. You are my favorite among my three children. If it weren't for my future, I wouldn't have married that evil woman. Why would you and your mother have to live such a hard life now?"
After hearing this, Shen Changfeng frowned and whispered, "I'll go see who is talking."
Shen Changfeng had walked this shortcut to the rockery countless times, and it was not the first time he heard voices on this road. He naturally knew where the voices had to be stood in order for them to be heard so clearly in his ears.
Shen Changfeng tiptoed forward a few steps and looked out through a hole somewhere on the rockery. He only saw the backs of a father and son, one tall and one short. He vaguely saw that they were both wearing sky-blue robes, which seemed to be made of the same cloth.
He hurriedly walked out of the rockery and came to the place where they were talking, but he could no longer see anyone. There were several forked roads at the end of the road, and he couldn't figure out where the person had gone.
"Damn it! Let me catch these two people who are talking behind my back. I must let everyone see their true faces! They actually whispered about killing my wife behind my back!" Shen Changfeng said with a strong sense of justice.
Shen Ling said helplessly: "Brother, don't believe everything you hear. He said that he would kill his wife sooner or later. He didn't say that he would kill his wife now. Maybe he said it in anger. It can't be true."
"Even if it's just words spoken in anger, you can't say that!" Shen Changfeng said indignantly.
He pulled Niuniu over again and asked, "My dear, is this the truth?"
Niuniu nodded obediently: "My mother said that being husband and wife is the fate of the previous life, we should cherish and support each other. Even if this man is not sincere and just said it in anger, he is obviously not a good person to whisper about his wife behind her back!"
After Shen Changfeng got Niuniu's affirmation, he immediately held his head high and said, "A gentleman should do what he should do and shouldn't do what he shouldn't do! Since this person dares to whisper in private in our house, I will definitely find him out!"
However, Shen Ling felt that her brother was too impulsive and was about to stop him.
Shen Changfeng added: "Even if we don't expose him in public, we must know who this person is, so that we can be alert in the future and stay away from this father and son!"
When Shen Ling heard this, he stopped trying to stop them and asked, "Then how are you going to find these two people, brother?"
Shen Changfeng was instantly possessed by the Judge and said, "Master has taught me that most things you have done will leave traces. I want to find clues here!"
Everyone probably dreams of becoming a detective. When Niu Niu heard this, her eyes lit up: "I'll help you!"
The brother and sister started investigating the scene with their butts sticking out.
"Footprints! Such obvious footprints!" Shen Changfeng was excited.
It rained yesterday and the soil was wet, leaving very clear footprints.
Niuniu was also very excited. She stretched out her hands and gestured for a long time, looking very professional, but in fact she could only stammer and ask: "This...this...how big is the foot?"
Of course Shen Changfeng couldn't explain it clearly. He was a young master who didn't know the difference between grains and vegetables, so how could he know the size of the feet?
In the end, Shen Ling said helplessly: "You two wait here for a while, I'll ask someone to come and take footprints."
Niuniu was reminded by her and said excitedly: "Yes! It's rubbing! That's what Daddy's story said!"
Shen Changfeng also nodded vigorously.
But Shen Ling had a cold face: "It turns out that Mr. Gu also tells you stories, but my brother has never told these stories to me."
Shen Changfeng touched the back of his head and smiled innocently: "I... I was so busy that I forgot, didn't I?"
After the footprints were taken, Shen Ling urged the two men to leave.
"Don't worry, don't worry! There may be other clues. Master said that at least two clues must be crossed together for corroboration." Shen Changfeng said seriously.
Niuniu looked around: "Flowers! Petals!"
There are several crabapple trees planted around this place. At this time, the bright red crabapple flowers are blooming particularly beautifully. When the wind blows, the crabapple petals fall down.
Niuniu pointed at the top of Shen Changfeng's head: "Brother Changfeng, this way! Petals!"
Shen Changfeng pulled out two bright red petals from his hair.
Chen Ling said, "There are only a few red crabapples planted here in our mansion. The other places are all pink and white crabapples and weeping crabapples. If we really meet that person, it will be easy to tell them apart."
Niuniu lowered her head again and said, "The land here is red!"
Chen Ling explained: "The soil here was specially dug by my mother. It is different from other places in the mansion. It is specially used to cultivate iron-footed crabapples."
Niuniu said: "There are more and more clues!"
Suddenly, the little girl's eyes fixed, and she pointed at the bushes not far behind Shen Changfeng: "There seems to be something there."
The three of them walked over and saw a purse lying quietly at the edge of the grass.
The purse looked very old, with a bunch of green bamboo embroidered on it with fine stitching, and two words embroidered on it: peace.
"Is this also what fell from that father and son?" Niu Niu asked.
Shen Ling nodded and said, "This way, it will be easier to find it."
Niuniu clapped her hands immediately: "Brother Changfeng, Sister Ling, now we have four clues. It will be much easier to find the father and son!"
Shen Ling said: "In fact, if you think carefully about what they said, it should not be difficult to find out. Let someone ask which of the fathers and sons who came to visit our house today has a bastard son."
But Niuniu tilted her head and said, "What if it's not a bastard, but an illegitimate child?"
Shen Changfeng also argued: "What if he is not from outside the mansion, then he is someone from our own mansion?"
Shen Ling said helplessly: "How can you two have so many chances? We have a limited number of people in our house. Even the gentleman who is staying at our house has no family with him. How can we find such a father and son? Besides, who dares to bring an illegitimate child to our banquet?"
Shen Changfeng and Niuniu were speechless.
Instead, Shen Ling asked Niuniu again: "Do you still want to see my brother's little garden?"
Niu Niu really wanted to find the father and son, but she didn't want to miss the beautiful scenery, so her face was full of conflicted feelings.
Instead, Shen Changfeng waved his hand and said, "It's only a few steps away. Now that we're here, it would be a shame if we don't go and take a look."
He pulled Niu Niu again and wanted to return to the shortcut to the rockery.
But the three of them had only taken a few steps back when they met a middle-aged man in sky blue clothes. The man lowered his head and looked around, as if looking for something on the ground.
"Dad?" Shen Ling called out hesitantly.
