Pang Yi was busy inviting Kong Wenmin into the house, and soon, Chen Qingxuan rushed out. He didn't even wear a thick cotton coat, and Pang Yi chased him out with a cotton robe, and then Kong Wenmin and Zhong Mingwei also came out. Both of them looked solemn.
"What happened?" Mei Ya was so nervous that she tried to stop Zhong Mingwei. "Where are you going? What happened?"
Zhong Mingwei didn't seem to want to tell Meiya. He pursed his lips and glanced at Kong Wenmin, who then bowed and left.
"What's going on?" Mei Ya was so anxious. Zhong Mingwei rarely had such a serious expression, and looking at the actions of Pang Yi, Chen Qingxuan and Kong Wenmin, something serious must have happened. Her heart was beating so fast. "Tell me! Don't hide it from me!"
"I didn't want to tell you, but it's better to tell you. A woman has to go with you at this time." Zhong Mingwei said in a deep voice. He turned his head to look at the chimney above the kitchen where smoke was coming out. Hearing the hearty laughter of Grandma Chen from time to time, his eyes became more solemn for a moment. He paused, then turned around and said to Meiya. "Miss Gu is in trouble."
"Something happened? She...what happened to her?" Mei Ya immediately stuttered.
"On the way to buy wine, she met a villain, and she...she accidentally killed someone," Zhong Mingwei said in a deep voice. At this point, he paused, as if he was having difficulty in choosing words, "Guard Kong happened to pass by, and he took her and the villain's body back to the prefectural government office," Zhong Mingwei gently patted Mei Ya's shoulder, and then whispered, "You can go over and talk to her. She is a girl, and she must be scared when she encounters such a thing."
"Okay, wait for me." Mei Ya took a deep breath and exhaled, then hurried to the room to take out her cotton coat and cloak, without putting them on, just holding them in her hands.
"Why don't you put it on?" Zhong Mingwei asked with a frown.
"Give it to Miss Gu later." Mei Ya said. Since she had accidentally killed someone, Gu Qingtong's body would probably be stained with blood.
Zhong Mingwei didn't say anything else. He took off his cloak and put it on Mei Ya, then pulled Mei Ya out.
"Where are you going?" As soon as Xiao An came out, she saw Zhong Mingwei and Mei Ya walking out and was immediately stunned. "What's going on?"
"Sister An, you stay home and accompany Grandma Chen," Meiya whispered to Xiao An, paused, and added, "Miss Gu is in trouble."
"I got it. You guys go quickly. I'll stay at home with Grandma Chen." Looking at the expressions of Meiya and Zhong Mingwei, Xiao An knew that something big might have happened to Gu Qingtong. She stopped asking questions and urged Meiya and Zhong Mingwei to leave quickly.
…
The prefectural government office.
As soon as Kong Wenmin pulled the reins, Chen Qingxuan pushed open the door, jumped out, and rushed in without caring about anything. Zhong Mingwei looked at the situation and patted Kong Wenmin on the shoulder and said, "Guard Kong, go in and take a look. Stop Mr. Chen and leave the carriage to Pang Yi."
Chen Qingxuan usually has a very good relationship with his cousin, which is probably much better than that of ordinary siblings. Gu Qingtong suddenly got into such a situation, and Chen Qingxuan was impulsive and was afraid that something bad would happen.
"Yes, I obey your command." Kong Wenmin was also very worried. The deceased was the only son of Mr. Meng from Mengjiatun. Upon hearing the news of their son's death, the old couple went crazy and rushed over with a group of servants. If they had not been concerned about the fact that they were in the prefectural government office, they would have cut Gu Qingtong into pieces. Now seeing Chen Qingxuan going in, who knows how chaotic it must be inside.
"Why did you stop Mr. Chen?" Mei Ya couldn't understand Zhong Mingwei at all. She was so angry that her temples were throbbing as soon as she heard that Gu Qingtong was in trouble. "Don't even mention Mr. Chen. Even I want to kick the corpse of that bad guy. It's too good for him to die like this!"
