Mei Ya was immediately overjoyed and quickly asked, "Do you want to get to know Miss Gu better? Let me tell you, our Miss Gu..."
"Madam, there is no need to get to know her further. There is something wrong with this girl." Hao Dongqing said with a gloomy expression.
Mei Ya was stunned for a moment, then she started to scold him: "What do you mean by that? Why is there something wrong with her? How can you see that there is something wrong with her? If you can't explain it clearly, I will show you how I will deal with you today! "
"Madam, the door of Fengyu Villa was locked from the inside just now, which means there must be someone inside. But as far as I know, only Miss Gu and her cousin Chen Qingxuan usually live in Fengyu Villa. Mr. Chen went to the Hanlin Academy at this time, and Miss Gu is not at home, so who could be inside Fengyu Villa?" Hao Dongqing said in a deep voice.
"You mean... someone wants to harm Miss Gu?" Mei Ya took a breath of cold air, then turned around and ran back.
"Madam, please don't be anxious." Hao Dongqing was busy blocking Meiya's way. Seeing that Meiya was very anxious, he hurriedly said, "Madam, in my opinion, the man in Fengyu Courtyard who was unwilling to open the door just now will not hurt Miss Gu. He may know Miss Gu and should be an acquaintance."
"If they are acquaintances, then why should he hide it? Why is Miss Gu unwilling to tell me these?" Mei Ya asked, looking up.
"Maybe there is something she can't tell you," Hao Dongqing analyzed, and after a pause, he continued, "Miss Gu just said that she was going to the medicine store to get angelica to make chicken soup, but I smelled that the bundle contained not only angelica, but also seemed to contain Chinese toon root bark, Chinese gallnut, black plum charcoal, and satin dragon bone for treating wounds... Well, there should also be a decomposing and regenerating ointment for rotten wounds, so the person hiding in Fengyu Villa should be a seriously injured person, so he was unable to open the door for us in time, and judging from the current situation, the injured person should not want to reveal his identity, so Miss Gu did not tell the truth to Madam."
"What kind of nose do you have? Are you born in the year of the dog?" Mei Ya narrowed her eyes and stared at Hao Dongqing in disbelief. "I smelled the bitter taste of the medicinal herbs just now. How come you can smell everything? And you can describe everything so clearly?"
Hao Dongqing's mouth twitched: "...Madam, I am not born in the year of the dog, but in the year of the sheep."
"How come they are both born in the Year of the Goat, but there is such a big difference between them?" Mei Ya touched her round nose and muttered to herself as she walked back. She stopped after taking a few steps and told Hao Dongqing, "Since it is a difficult secret, I have no intention of knowing it. But I am a little worried about Miss Gu and Chen Qingxuan. They are new to the capital and are both warm-hearted. It is possible that they were deceived by the bad guys. After you go back, tell the two guards to keep a close eye on Fengyu Villa."
"Yes, I obey your command." Hao Dongqing bowed hurriedly.
…
Wind and rain courtyard.
Gu Qingtong ran all the way to the gate of Fengyu Villa with the bag in her hand. She looked around and knocked on the door gently. There was no response from inside, so she didn't get anxious and just waited at the door.
"Oh!" Thinking of Meiya's concerned look just now, Gu Qingtong couldn't help but sigh. She didn't mean to hide it from Meiya. Meiya was a relative and a family member to her, so just now she was just a little bit away from telling the truth to Meiya, but in the end she didn't.
She thought about the skinny body of the man she had hidden in the backyard, the crisscross wounds on his body, and his severed fingers. In the end, she still didn't tell Meiya.
