Chapter 141 Miss Lu met her in the teahouse
"What kind of job can earn so much reward? It's a pity that Brother Liu got sick. Otherwise, he would be very successful in the future, and I, your old friend, would be proud of him."
Su Qianqian sighed and observed the woman.
"If this disease was his fate, I wouldn't blame him. But that night when my husband went to Luoyingfang, he was fine. Although his body had no fatal injuries, he was clearly holding a knife in his hand. His body was stiff, but he was still holding the knife. How could he draw a knife during a normal inspection?"
The woman rubbed her red and swollen eyes. She had no more tears left and her voice was hoarse from crying.
[My lady, this woman did not lie. That day, Liu the yamen runner was indeed ordered to wait in Luoyingfang. The place he was waiting for was Xie Fangyuan, waiting for someone to approach and capture him in one fell swoop.
Liu the yamen runner finally waited until a man in black approached the corner gate of Xie Fangyuan before he drew his knife and followed him. Just as he was about to capture the man, he suddenly fainted on the ground. 】
The system was panting weakly, showing that doing this was very energy-consuming.
[So this is really a sudden illness? Although Su Qianqian still didn’t believe it, the deceased did not see anyone attack him.
[No, the deceased's last feeling was a tingling pain in the head followed by dizziness. Heart disease should not cause headaches. 】The system explained again and then stopped talking.
Su Qianqian received the message and knew that it was almost time to move the coffin, so she stood up to say goodbye to the woman and said a few words of comfort. When she walked out of the yard, she found that both the carriage and Qin Yuzhuo were gone.
"What's going on? Are you here to cut off my retreat?" Su Qianqian just felt tired.
But soon Su Qianqian saw the carriage coming back. Qin Yuzhuo lifted the curtain and said, "Third sister-in-law, hurry up and get in the carriage. Someone just overheard you talking and should be reporting now. I chased you for a while and was worried about you, so I came back again."
Su Qianqian hurried into the car.
"What kind of person would eavesdrop? We didn't say anything." Su Qianqian asked curiously.
"He should be a colleague of the deceased, wearing the black clothes of a yamen runner." Qin Yuzhuo kept looking forward, hoping to catch up with the yamen runner.
"There's no need to chase him. Zhang Yong must have someone keep an eye on the deceased's wife to prevent her from saying anything she shouldn't. He didn't kill her."
Su Qianqian recalled what the system said. Why would someone approach Xie Fangyuan from Luoyingfang at night? What was his intention? Who is so cruel that he could follow someone and kill them at will?
When the carriage passed through the West Market, Su Qianqian raised her hand to lift the curtain and take a look at the bustle outside. When passing by the teahouse, she unexpectedly found Lu Zhiqing hurriedly walking in.
This real daughter has few relatives or friends in Xijing. Why did she go to the teahouse alone just to drink tea?
"Stop!" Su Qianqian ordered the driver. Qin Yuzhuo didn't understand what Su Qianqian was going to do, so he could only follow obediently.
Lu Zhiqing knew all three of them, so Su Qianqian asked them to wait in the car and went into the teahouse alone. She found a secluded corner where she could see all the private rooms, ordered a pot of tea and a portion of dried fruits, and quietly sipped the tea and observed.
The system was resting at this time and could not help much. It was impossible for Su Qianqian to hear Lu Zhiqing's secret conversation. She just wanted to know who she was meeting with.
At most a quarter of an hour later, Lu Zhiqing came out of a private room on the second floor with a gloomy face. She exuded a low aura and did not pay any attention to Su Qianqian who was sitting in the corner. She went out alone.
After another stick of incense, another person came out of the private room. It turned out to be Mrs. Xu, whom Su Qianqian was familiar with.
Su Qianqian lowered her head to drink tea. She listened to Madam Xu's steady steps as she walked out of the teahouse. Then she raised her head again. After a while, she stood up, paid the bill and went out.
Qin Yuzhuo had been waiting anxiously for a long time. When he saw Su Qianqian getting in the car, he said hastily, "It turned out to be Lu Zhiqing!"
Su Qianqian nodded, said nothing more, and told the driver to return home.
Sure enough, Su Qianqian changed her clothes and went to Fushoutang. Madam Qin, led her three daughters-in-law, two granddaughters-in-law, and several little girls, and once again looked at her with condemning eyes.
"Grandma, mother, aunt, sister-in-law...sisters, I have something important to do outside, not to play, why are you all silent?"
Su Qianqian looked helplessly at these women and their silent accusations against her.
“You have to discuss important matters with us. If Yu Zhuo doesn’t follow you, how would we know if you are in danger?
You also know the current situation outside. It is not peaceful. The Daliang delegation is staying in Xijing and they must hate our Wuning Marquis Mansion to the core. We must not be careless. ”
Mrs. Du couldn't help but speak out her advice, her eyes full of worry.
Su Qianqian felt warm in her heart: "Mother is right. I will definitely ask her next time I go out."
As soon as Su Qianqian apologized, those tense faces relaxed immediately, and they started talking and laughing again, asking her if there was anything new outside.
Su Qianqian: Did you agree to punish me for my facial expression?
When Qin Hanzhang returned home, Su Qianqian talked about the business: "I asked the wife of the yamen runner, she was doing errands for Zhang Yong, and ended up dying on the street, and the place where she was doing the errand was Xie Fangyuan in Luoyingfang.
The coroner did not find any injuries, but according to the wife of the yamen runner, her husband had never had any heart disease and had always been in good health. I have heard that if there are no injuries on the body, can we check the Baihui acupoint on the top of the deceased's head? If a fine needle is used to pierce the acupoint, there will be no scar and the person will die. ”
Madam Qin was very experienced this time: "It must be what your mother left behind in the book. Han Zhang, it is worth checking, but the body has been buried, and I am afraid the victim will not be willing to open the coffin for an autopsy."
"It is not appropriate to make this matter public before it is verified. My grandson has his own way." Qin Hanzhang was calm.
"But it was really reckless of you to investigate this matter without permission today." Qin Hanzhang continued to blame Su Qianqian, running around everywhere all day long, making him nervous and helpless.
"Yes, yes, yes, the Marquis is right. It's my fault." Su Qianqian immediately admitted her mistake.
"Tomorrow, we will go to celebrate the birthday of Grand Tutor Su. Please make sure to prepare well and don't be impolite. The Marquis' Mansion will prepare another gift and let the second son and his wife go. Don't let people say that we don't have the affection of in-laws."
Madam Qin changed the subject and talked about Su Qianqian's return home to celebrate birthday.
The second master and the second mistress quickly agreed.
Qin Yuzhuo seemed to want to say something, her face flushed a little, but she held it back.
Su Qianqian naturally prepared gifts, and because it was her first time returning home after getting married, everyone prepared gifts, and of course she put a lot of thought into these gifts.
The next day, after Su Qianqian got up early and washed up, he came out of the inner room and saw Qin Hanzhang sitting at the dining table waiting for him. He was only wearing a moon-white robe, which set off his handsome face. The scar at the corner of his eye made him look different.
[The phrase 'Beauty is a feast to the eyes' is not correct. It should be 'Beauty is a feast for the eyes'. I can have another bowl of rice looking at this face. 】
Su Qianqian bowed gracefully and sat down to eat.
[I advise you to be cautious and watch your weight! 】The system, having recovered, sneered.
[Don't mind it today. Eat more to have strength. The relatives in the Taifu Mansion who have been away for five years must be allowed to get to know Su Qianqian again! 】
Su Qianqian was talking in her mind, but she didn't delay and picked up another fried dumpling: How can it be cooked if it's not put on the fire?
