Chapter 472 Little Nuobao Becomes a Detective
But now the sun is about to set, and even if everyone is anxious, they can't eat hot tofu.
Mrs. Feng held the lady, "In more than half an hour, it will be dark, and we can't do anything if we go."
"Why not wait until tomorrow morning and go there, and we can think of a countermeasure this night."
Little Nuobao looked at the sun who was about to "rest", drooping his shoulders, his eyebrows and eyes full of worry, and had to give up.
As for the young man of the Qin family, Mrs. Feng couldn't bear to let him go alone, so he stayed in Xianquan for one night.
Wait until tomorrow morning to set off together.
The sun was setting in the west, and the clouds were blooming hotly, hanging red and gorgeous in the distant sky, like the red veil of a shy girl.
But people were no longer in the mood to appreciate such a beautiful scene, as they were all worried about the murder.
For dinner, Li Qiqiao specially reduced the amount of meat dishes and made snacks such as cold jellyfish head and almond tofu to relieve the heat and stimulate the appetite.
However, the Jiang family still ate in a disinterested manner.
With just a few chopsticks, they neglected a table of delicacies and discussed plans for tomorrow.
However, in this way, the day for everyone to return home would have to be postponed.
This was a blessing in disguise, as it met the wishes of Xiao Nuobao who was greedy for the countryside.
But she would rather go back early than let Uncle Qin suffer such a great crime.
So she lay in Feng's arms all night, occasionally nudging her mother's belly, or pouting her little mouth and sighing.
After returning to Xianquanju, Ali hesitated for a moment and asked Mu Yihan.
"Master Imperial Master, it seems we have to stay for a few more days, but there should be nothing wrong with the affairs of the court."
Mu Yihan looked calm as water and raised his hand. He
was still concerned about the matter of the little cotton jacket.
As for the affairs of the court, he had arranged them all before he came out.
The only thing that bothered him was the Wala, but if he wanted to investigate thoroughly, it would take more than a day or two.
"Now that Xiao the thief has been eliminated, the court and the country are very peaceful, and it doesn't matter to go back a few days later." Mu Yihan closed his eyes and said.
Ali thought so, so he went into the room and made the bed for his master.
The night was as dark as ink.
A few crows stood on the branches, crying inexplicably at the dark night without the moonlight.
Just when Daliu Village fell asleep, no one knew that a secret report was quietly reaching the capital through Wala...
The corner gate of the Han Mansion was half open, and a pair of still tender little hands stretched out to take the secret report.
After reading what was written on it, the little hands trembled obviously, as if shocked by the content.
But soon, everything returned to normal.
The dim light of the lantern was reflected on the small road of the Han Mansion, stretching the small shadow longer and longer, and more and more lonely...
...
The next day, as soon as the sky brightened, the Jiang family's carriage creaked and headed towards the city.
Although the late summer can make people sweat, it is still a little cool in the morning.
Normally, Xiao Nuobao likes to rest her chin on the car window, letting the wind outside brush across her face, feeling extremely comfortable.
But now she has no time to enjoy herself, and is only looking forward to getting to the orphanage as soon as possible. She wishes she could buy two more wheels and install them under the carriage.
There are not many people going to places like orphanages on weekdays, so they are located in the desolate north of the city.
When they were almost there, the sight became more and more desolate.
There was only a charity house, a teahouse, a few paper-making shops that dealt in the dead, and a few small houses.
Jiang Fengnian parked the carriage and took Xiao Nuobao and Feng down.
Feng held the concubine in one hand and held a food box in the other, which contained some cakes and steamed buns.
"When we go in later, we must explain our purpose first. Just say that we are here to give snacks and donate money. Don't make trouble, mother." Little Nuobao couldn't help but worry and repeated what he had said.
Feng and Jiang Fengnian both nodded, "Don't worry, Nuobao, we will pretend to be ordinary kind people and not mention the murder case."
After that, they walked towards the assisted living institution.
Not far away, Jiang Fengze and Xiao Lanyi were sitting in a teahouse drinking tea, and asked the people around them about the case.
The gate of the assisted living institution was shabby and old, and even in summer, it smelled moldy. As
Xiao Nuobao stepped over the threshold, he saw with a glance that the door lock on the side was brand new and had a strong chain.
At this time, he heard a noise in the front yard, and a housekeeper in coarse linen clothes hurried over.
Although the Jiang family members were dressed more simply and took off their expensive ornaments such as hairpins and bracelets, the housekeeper had a sharp eye and could still see the nobility of this family.
She immediately bowed politely.
"Please come in, three nobles. Are you here to see the orphans?"
Feng nodded indifferently, "Well, my family just moved to Yuncheng, and we want to do more good deeds. I wonder if you have many children here, and whether you need long-term donations?"
The housekeeper's eyes lit up, and her smile deepened, "Thank you very much, nobles. I will call the children out and show them to you."
Soon, thirteen or fourteen children were called from the backyard.
Xiao Nuobao raised his little head and wrinkled his nose.
Although orphans are miserable, they are inevitably timid or shy.
But the ten or so children in front of them can no longer be described as timid.
They were like puppets, standing in a row timidly, not daring to look up at people, and their eyes were always glancing at the housekeeper.
Xiao Nuobao thought the old woman was up to something, so he quickly rushed to Feng's hand, took the snack box, waved to the children, and led them to the backyard.
Feng understood and said tacitly, "Yes, take these cakes and share them with your brothers and sisters. You are not allowed to bully them."
Seeing this, the housekeeper seemed to be afraid of something and was about to follow.
At this time, Jiang Fengnian blocked her way and took out a banknote as a cover.
"This 100 taels of silver is donated by my family to the children. Take me to see the kitchen. If the children don't eat well, my family can add another 100 taels this month!"
