If you see Shen Qingyu motionless and deep in thought, you can't help but sigh. If she used to be noisy every day and toss around all day long, it would be worrying, but now this "quietness" is also worrying.

She endured it, but still couldn't hold it back, so she said, "Girl, take a rest."

"Okay." Shen Qingyu agreed, stood up, opened the door and walked to her usual room.

Because she was worried that Mrs. Wen would know that she was doing these things, Shen Qingyu asked Zhang Jing to rent this room with additional money. It was a little far away from where Mrs. Wen lived, but it also ensured that once Mrs. Wen found someone, they could quickly find someone.

Appear soon.

Soon, they returned to the door of the room. Before they opened the door, they heard voices inside.

Before Shen Qingyu could decide whether to go in or not, the door opened from the inside.

Ding Xiang was probably about to go out. She turned sideways and asked Shen Qingyu to come in before turning around and leaving.

In the room, Mrs. Wen was sitting on a chair, and next to her, Mrs. Zhong was talking to a strange boy.

The young man said: "When such a big thing happened in the family, how could the mother still be allowed to run around and work alone? Now that the child has grown up, it's time for me to stand in the way."

After listening to the young man's words, Shen Qingyu already knew the identity of the other party, but she didn't know which of the two cousins, Zicheng and Zijie, was this one.

She looked at the boy up and down. He was about fourteen or fifteen years old. He had good features and clear eyes, and he looked like a gentleman.

When she spoke, her tone was extremely sincere, "I am no longer a child, and my mother should treat me as an adult."

Ms. Zhong burst into tears at the young man's words, "If you have such a heart, mother will be happy. But this is a murder case after all, and there is no room for you to get involved."

She paused and said, "Now that you're here, it's not a good idea not to see your father. Come back after meeting your father with me."

The young man frowned and said, "Is it going well for my mother to visit my father in prison?"

"That's natural. I go there every day, and the county magistrate never shirks or refuses."

The young man sighed and said, "Even if I make an exception for my grandfather's sake and am willing to be accommodating, I don't bother people again and again. And if I use all my favors for visits, it's like other favors."

I can’t even talk about it.”

Shen Qingyu didn't expect that this young man was young and thought far ahead.

Mrs. Zhong didn't think too much, "Being an official in the same dynasty, this convenience is just a trivial matter. You are thinking too much."

The young man opened his mouth to say something else, but was interrupted by Mrs. Zhong, "I have repeatedly warned people not to tell your brothers about this matter, so that you can study with peace of mind. I don't know who is careless about this.

Talkative will let you know about this."

The young man defended the servant and said, "I don't blame others. It was the children who felt that their expressions were strange. After questioning, I found out that something like this happened at home."

"Oh! You can't hide it after all." Mrs. Zhong also knew that this matter might be hidden for a while, but not for a long time, so she turned to ask: "Even so, why did you come here alone, where is your eldest brother?"

"My eldest brother..." The young man hesitated, unable to say what he wanted to say.

After his eldest brother found out about this, he was in panic all day long, hiding in the academy and refusing to take a single step. And how could he explain this to Mr. Zhong?

Zhong himself had already made an excuse, "Your eldest brother must have a heavy workload and can't be separated. That's right. There is nothing more important than this. On the other hand, if you don't study hard in the college, the trip back and forth will be in vain."

Mrs. Wen, who had been acting as a background so that mother and son could talk to each other, said, "What a waste of time. I was touched by Zicheng's filial piety, not to mention that this was only because he couldn't worry about his parents.

Now that he's here, he can stay here and feel at ease."

Wen Zicheng said: "What my aunt said is what I think, and I believe that my father will never kill anyone. As a son, it is reasonable for me to investigate my father's affairs. My mother should not stop me."

No matter how old a child is, he is still a child in the eyes of his parents. To Mr. Zhong, Wen Zicheng is only a half-grown child. There is nothing he can do. He only said: "What can you do at your age? Just don't cause trouble."

She had just seen Shen Qingyu come in, but she did not introduce them to her son immediately because she wanted to talk to her son. At this moment, the time was just right.

She waved to Shen Qingyu, "Come to Auntie."

Shen Qingyu had stood aside quietly since she came in, not disturbing the conversation between Mrs. Zhong and her son. Now that she was greeted by Mrs. Zhong, she had no choice but to step forward.

Madam Zhong grabbed her son and introduced him to Shen Qingyu, "This is your cousin Zicheng. The last time you two met, you were still a little boy."

Wen Zicheng had also noticed his cousin a long time ago and smiled inwardly, she is still a little girl now.

She didn't show it on her face, she just called her cousin and stopped making any sound.

Mrs. Zhong looked at the two of them and suddenly said: "I will take care of your father's affairs. It just so happens that your cousin is here too. We haven't been able to take care of her these days. We have kept her in the inn and she is bored.

Now that you are here, you can walk around with her so as not to bore her."

Wen Zicheng immediately refused, "Mother, I just want to..."

But Mrs. Zhong didn't listen to him at all, and just asked Mr. Wen what he wanted.

The expression on Mrs. Wen's face was tangled for a moment, but she quickly relaxed, "Well, children really shouldn't get involved in this."

Wen Zicheng took Shen Qingyu out at Zhong's urging.

Wen Zicheng wanted to investigate his father's case, but was given the task of babysitting. He was in a very unhappy mood, and even looking at Shen Qingyu, his originally pleasing cousin, was not satisfactory.

But Shen Qingyu didn't have the slightest sense of being disliked, and kept running and jumping behind Wen Zicheng.

She thought very well that this cousin came for Wen Liang's case, which coincided with her, which meant that with Wen Zicheng's company, she could completely carry out her investigation plan.

She even felt that Wen Zicheng had arrived too late. If it had been earlier, she might have been able to follow the crime scene and take a look around, instead of making random guesses based on the sketch.

Now with Wen Zicheng's company, there will be a big breakthrough in the case investigation. Wen Zicheng will naturally stand by her for Wen Liang, and she can be considered to have a helper.

She laughed out loud as she thought about it. When she looked up, Wen Zicheng had left her behind for a long distance.

"Cousin Zicheng, wait for me."

After all, Wen Zicheng couldn't do anything to leave Shen Qingyu, so he stood there and waited for a while.

When Shen Qingyu caught up and he was about to take another step, he heard his cousin's deliberately lowered but slightly excited voice, "Cousin! Let's investigate secretly together!"

Um?!
Chapter completed!
