After saying this, Xie Qingyao blushed when she saw Jiang Si's surprised expression.

Oops, I sold my father out in a fit of excitement.

Although my mother didn't mention anything, she always looked worried these days. She was not a heartless girl and had thought about the reason a long time ago.

After much thought, it is very likely that my father has a mistress outside.

No, my father must have a mistress outside!

Xie Qingyao stood up: "Asi, since you and I have the same idea, I will go back and remind my mother——"

"Wait, when did I ever think the same as you?" Jiang Si seemed a little confused.

"Didn't you just say that this matter is most likely related to my father?"

Jiang Si didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly pulled Xie Qingyao to sit down: "Why do you believe everything you hear? What I mean is that maybe uncle is not feeling well, and aunt is worried about his health."

The story of the sleeping pig of Earl Yongchang has been a topic of laughter among the people of the capital for a long time, and it is still mentioned years later, but the truth is very simple.

The Yongchang Earl's mansion invited a famous doctor who found out the reason for Yongchang Earl's strange behavior. Yongchang Earl was suffering from sleepwalking.

It's a pity that the joke had already gotten out by then.

What makes Jiang Si embarrassed now is how should she remind her friends?

"Feeling unwell?" Xie Qingyao shook his head without thinking, "That's definitely not the case. If my father was unwell, my mother would have called a doctor long ago. Why would she ask Liu Xiangu to do that?"

"If my uncle really has a mistress, what's the point of my aunt inviting Liu Xiangu?" Jiang Si asked back.

Xie Qingyao lowered his voice and said, "I have read some miscellaneous records about Nanlan. Some women can use secret techniques to make ungrateful men change their minds."

Jiang Si: “…”

Xie Qingyao was upset and held his forehead.

I accidentally sold my mother again.

"Qingyao, I think you are overthinking it. What is your aunt's status? Even if your uncle has a mistress or even a child with her, would your aunt do such a thing?"

"Then what happened? Alas, why did Fairy Liu die at this time?" Xie Qingyao sighed in distress.

"Don't be so sad. Since your aunt won't tell you, don't ask directly. Try to ask indirectly or ask the sisters around your aunt. Pay more attention to your uncle's movements. Maybe you can find out the truth."

Earl Yongchang's sleepwalking disorder has developed to the point where he sleeps like a pig. This must have happened more than once or twice. Earl Yongchang's wife must have discovered his abnormality and thought of ghosts and gods, so she wanted to ask Fairy Liu to exorcise the evil spirit.

Liu Xiangu died suddenly, and the wife of the Yongchang Earl was very upset. If Xie Qingyao was careful, it would not be difficult to find the root cause of her mother's distress.

"Okay, I'll go back and check. By the way, Asi, have you talked to Liu Xiangu?" Girls of Xie Qingyao's age are always full of curiosity about Liu Xiangu, who was said to be a miraculous figure and died at the peak of her glory.

Jiang Si smiled slightly and said, "I did say hello. After all, you stayed at our house for two days."

"I heard that Liu Xiangu's murder case has alarmed the three judicial departments, and the officials of Shuntian Prefecture have also become busy. Ah Si, do you think the murderer of Liu Xiangu can be caught?"

“I don’t think so.”

"Why?"

Jiang Si picked up the tea and took a sip, thinking: Because good people will be rewarded.

"You're keeping me in suspense again."

Jiang Si smiled and said, "I'm not keeping you in suspense. People like Liu Xiangu have dealings with all kinds of people. Their relationships are complicated and confusing. Finding the murderer is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

At this moment, it is not just Jiang Si and her close friends who are discussing the real murderer of Liu Xiangu; it is a hot topic in the whole city.

However, the murderer had already left the capital and returned to a small town hundreds of miles away.

The calm-looking man walked home calmly.

"General Qin, I haven't seen you go to the tavern for some time." A passerby greeted the man.

"I'll be right back." The man smiled. Compared to his usual gloomy and depressed demeanor, he seemed to be more relaxed, as if he had been infused with new energy.

But if you pay close attention, this feeling is frightening.

The man in front of me seemed like a ball of fire. Although it was bright, it could even burn itself to ashes.

The low and simple house was right in front of him. The man pushed the door open and looked around, but there was no sign of the young man.

The man walked back to the yard, opened the lid on the water tank at the door, scooped a bucket of water and took a few sips. Then he jumped in and took a good bath and changed into new clothes.

This dress was hand-sewn for him by his fiancée more than ten years ago. The material is fine and it still looks as good as new.

But after so many years, the young general who was once full of vigor and vitality has become a poor, wine-loving idler, and the nice clothes seem so inappropriate on him.

The man pulled his clothes carefully and left the house in big strides.

The country roads were a little wet underfoot. In the fields, besides the lush green crops, you could occasionally see raised mounds of earth.

That is a grave.

His fiancée lived in a place like this and had been waiting for him for a long time.

A grave mound appeared in the distance. What was different from other places was that there was a thatched house not far from the grave mound.

It was built by a man. Sometimes when he felt that life was getting hard, he would come here and stay for a couple of days.

This time, the man did not go into the thatched hut, but sat down directly in front of the grave, lovingly touching the green grass growing on the grave.

The green tombs are filled with fragrant bones, and it breaks my heart just thinking about it.

The man didn't know how long he had been sitting there. Even the birds resting on the branches became tired and flew away.

He lowered his head and took out a hairpin from his arms.

This hairpin is also old, with a sharp tip. It was a gift that he had not had time to give away at the time.

The man held the hairpin in his hand and placed it over his chest, thinking seriously.

If you put in some effort, it should be quick.

There was a click sound, and the man holding the golden hairpin suddenly jumped up and looked in the direction of the sound vigilantly.

The young man who had brought about earth-shaking changes in his life was standing not far away with a strange look on his face, two fish were jumping happily under his feet.

"Why are you here?" The man came over holding a golden hairpin.

Ah Fei licked his lips: "Don't get excited, I'm waiting for you."

Is gold so worthless these days? It's becoming popular to use gold hairpins to commit crimes!

The man looked down at the lively grass carp.

Ah Fei quickly raised his hands: "Don't get excited, the fish is innocent!"

He's been waiting in this shabby hut for so long, what's wrong with wanting to eat some grilled fish?

"Go ahead." The man said calmly.

Ah Fei bit the tip of his tongue.

He was really scared. This man had just planned to commit suicide. If a person didn't even care about his own life, what if he wanted to find a drinking companion when he was on the road?

"If you are scared, why don't you leave quickly?"

"In fact, the person who wrote to you has something else for me to bring to you."

"No need." The man ignored Ah Fei and returned to the grave.

Ah Fei was so angry that he said loudly, "She said that your fiancée has been gone for more than ten years and has long been reincarnated. Even if you go looking for her now, you won't be able to find her."
