Gu Xin held the dog by the leash, with Zheng Qiu on her left and Lu Zheng on her right, as someone led the way.
Gu En also caught up and walked next to Zheng Qiu. Wang Pangzi originally wanted to go too, but was stopped by Bai Yi, as there were still many things to do.
What Gu Xin and Lu Zheng noticed, Bai Yi naturally noticed as well. He whispered a few words to Fatty Wang, then went to Du San Niang's side and waited for Zhong Shi to stop crying.
The other people in the inn wanted to say a few words of comfort, but what words could comfort someone at this moment?
I doubt anyone would be comforted by any words in this situation!
...
After Gu Xin and the others left Qi'an Inn, Gu En asked, "Third Sister, do you think there's something wrong with the Hu family? Do you want to take this dog to sniff around and see if you can find more?"
Gu Xin turned to look at Gu En and said, "I think the Hu family might be the scene of the crime."
Gu En: "!"
Chen Li, who was leading the way, was also frightened: "Your Highness, Princess, this..."
Gu Xin glanced at Chen Li Shi: "Are you home alone? Are you scared?"
Chen Li nodded: "I went back to my parents' home yesterday, just to take the two children to their maternal grandparents' house for a while. It's cooler there. My husband isn't home tonight either. Princess, if this is really... no, it can't be, right?"
Gu Xin nodded: "I was just guessing. Let's go and see!"
Chen Liangshi said, "Second sister-in-law, if you're scared, you can stay at my place tonight. Our house is quite far away. Besides, the child's father is home, so it's not so scary to have a man there. By the way, I'll have the child's father talk to Second Brother tomorrow and ask him to come back in the next couple of days. If anything really happens, you can go back to your parents' house for a while. Second Brother can't stay at home all the time."
Mrs. Chen nodded: "That's right, that's right. To be honest, even if it weren't true, I wouldn't dare stay here. Just thinking about the way Qiangzi looked earlier, oh dear, I don't even want to think about it."
Gu Xin comforted her, "The inn has brewed some calming soup. You two can come back to the inn with us later, drink the calming soup, and then go back. If you really don't want to walk around, I can have someone deliver it to you."
Chen Li and Chen Liang quickly expressed their gratitude, as they genuinely thought Gu Xin was a good person.
Qi'an Town is not big, and it didn't take long to reach the alley where they lived.
Chen Liangshi's house was right at the entrance of the alley. Her husband was waiting anxiously at the door. When he saw the light, he quickly came to greet her.
Chen Liangshi introduced Gu Xin and their identities to her man.
Her man was so awkward that he didn't know how to greet her.
He originally wanted to go to the inn with Chen Liangshi, but they only had two daughters, both of whom were still young. They had only been called away because of the accident, so he dared not leave and could only wait at the door.
Now that I see that they've returned, I'm relieved.
Gu Xin left Chen Liangshi and Chen Lishi at home, and had Chen Liangshi's husband take them to the Hu family. On the way, she also asked Chen Liangshi's husband what kind of person Liu the butcher was.
The men of Chen Liangshi and Chen Lishi had similar opinions about Butcher Hu. Both brothers had witnessed Butcher Liu fawning over Zhongshi and suspected Butcher Hu of having ulterior motives.
Upon arriving at the Hu family's residence, Lu Zheng simply opened the locks. These were ordinary locks, easily opened without damaging them.
The dog started barking incessantly as soon as it reached the doorway.
