Qin Baozhu...has become mute!
*
One afternoon a few days later.
Qin Shu came to the already opened Xiaoyao Renjian and had a friendly exchange with Ito Keiko in the basement.
The basement is not open to the public yet, so no matter how loud the noise is, no one will hear it.
Qin Shu was in a bad mood today, and suddenly had an idea to change the way she played.
Tong Fei asked someone to bring a wooden barrel that could hold two or three adults and filled it with water.
Ito Keiko, with ropes tied all over her body, was hung upside down on the roof and was controlled and thrown into a wooden barrel of water again and again.
Ito Keiko was thrown in again and again, experiencing the feeling of suffocation and despair.
“Ahhhh!!!”
The shrill screams filled the torture chamber, making people's eardrums hurt.
Qin Shu seemed to have no bones, leaning on a carved pear wood chair, holding a teacup in her hand, her usually clear and charming eyes now staring blankly at a certain place.
She seemed not to hear Ito Keiko's screams. Her face was tense and solemn, and her brows were furrowed.
Tong Fei looked at his men, not understanding what was wrong with Qin Shu today.
“Knock knock——”
There was a knock on the door and one of his men pushed it open and walked in.
"Madam, Mr. Qin Hairui is here and he wants to see you for something."
Qin Shu, with a serious expression, almost immediately put down the teacup in her hand and left quickly.
Tong Fei looked at Ito Keiko, who had been soaking in the water for almost a minute, and waved to his men who were controlling the rope.
"Pull the person up first, before he gets killed. I'll go see what's going on!"
Private room upstairs.
Qin Hairui sat on the sofa with a pale face and sweat all over his forehead. He picked up the teapot on the table and drank guzzlingly from the spout.
"Brother! Any news?!"
Qin Shu pushed open the door and rushed in, asking anxiously.
Qin Hairui wiped the water stains from his chin and looked at Qin Shu seriously.
He shook his head: "No, there's nothing in the coffin!"
Qin Shu's eyes were filled with surprise, and she pulled Qin Hairui's sleeve which was covered with dried mud.
She asked in a tense voice, "What about the others? Are there none?"
Qin Hairui shook his head and said in a trembling voice: "No, the coffins of grandpa, great-grandpa, and great-great-grandma were all dug up. There was nothing inside except clothes. It was very clean."
When he said this, he had completely lost his composure and his words were not clear.
After all, no one would dig up their ancestors' graves.
Qin Hairui not only did it, he also dragged Qin Zhiheng and several cousins to dig up the ancestral grave together.
"Why is it like this?" Qin Shu frowned with a conflicted expression.
Could it be that what Qin Baozhu said was true?
Qin Shu didn't care much about the ridiculous secret of immortality. What she cared about was where her grandfather's body was.
Qin Hairui suddenly said, "Ah Shu, Zhao Erniu is here and she said she wants to see you."
Qin Shu's face was full of impatience, and she said coldly: "No!"
She could guess the purpose of Second Aunt's visit, which was nothing more than to plead for Qin Baozhu.
Qin Baozhu has already been sentenced and sent to prison. It is impossible to rescue her now.
Qin Hairui said: "Zhao Erniu is pregnant. She is not here to plead for Qin Baozhu. She is here to send you something."
Qin Shu's eyebrows jumped, and the corners of her lips twitched as she said, "Pregnant? An old clam giving birth to a pearl?"
Qin Hairui nodded: "Sixth uncle diagnosed the problem a few days ago. Second uncle was so happy that he said he would have a big banquet when the baby is born."
Qin Shu said in an unhappy tone: "Why is she coming to the city when she is pregnant? Is she trying to use the baby in her belly to cause trouble?"
It is true that once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years!
With the previous example of Qin Baozhu, Qin Shu became very wary of her second uncle's family.
Qin Hairui pondered and said, "Zhao Erniu went to the prison to see Qin Baozhu yesterday. She was in a very low mood after she came back. I met her on the road this afternoon. She said she came to give you something."
Qin Shu curled her lips and snorted: "Would she be so kind as to send me something?"
Although she expressed her disgust, she still asked Qin Hairui to call the person in.
Zhao Erniu, dressed simply and looking haggard, walked into the luxuriously decorated private room in a restrained manner.
When Zhao Erniu saw Qin Shu, she shrank back, as if she was extremely afraid of her.
She took out a crumpled piece of paper and placed it carefully on the table.
"This is what Baozhu asked me to give you."
