Chapter 34 Murder
Jiang Xixi came to Cheng Muyou's room with a bowl of freshly boiled medicine. Just as he was about to push the door in, he heard Cheng Dexuan's voice coming from inside. The voice was very low, but Jiang Xixi still heard it in his ears without saying a word.
"Muyou, it's not because of your father's intentional hiding it from you, but because Shuyuan is gone when you come back. It's meaningless to tell you this matter apart from making you feel unhappy. So Qiu Chiyi and I decided not to tell you about the two of them. In fact, after Xun'er was born, He Xu had a few times with Shuyuan. After Shuyuan died, he went to my Cheng Mansion to make trouble. He insisted that we treat her badly, which made her depressed. This person, hey, it's better not to mention it." Cheng Dexuan sighed heavily, "Muyou, since you know this, you don't have to deal with the Duan family anymore. After all, Shuyuan is sorry for you. Duan Zhixing also helped his daughter hide it from you. Not to mention it, even me, I feel so angry that I can't get over this hurdle."
Hearing these words, Jiang Xixi felt a chill. She bit her lips tightly, forcing herself not to make a sound, and listened carefully to Cheng Muyou's response.
"My father is worried too much. Now I have figured it out that I owe her more between Shuyuan and me. Since she married me as a wife, she has only been with me for two days. I have not fulfilled my responsibility to be a husband to her. She also gave birth to Xun'er for the Cheng family and continued the only bloodline of the Cheng family. Just this point, how can I blame her? I owe her in this life."
Although his voice was weak, it was extremely calm. There was no resentment or hatred in it, only a little regret.
Jiang Xixi's heart was a little relieved. Fortunately, Cheng Muyou was not hit hard by the master's words, but then he thought about when he knew about his wife and He Xu, and it seemed that they had already decided that there was an affair between his wife and He Xu, which was very different from what He Xu told her.
Just as he was full of suspicion, he suddenly heard something moving inside the house. Cheng Dexuan reminded Cheng Muyou to have a good rest and push the door out. Jiang Xixi was frightened, afraid that he would find himself eavesdropping, so he hurriedly walked out of the yard and walked to the through-room before he could stop. However, he was still thinking about what he had heard just now.
While standing in a daze, a servant suddenly walked over the hall and saw her, and hurried forward, "Miss, it's here. There is someone at the gate of the courtyard that asked me to hand over this note to the girl. Girl, hurry up and take a look, don't miss any urgent matters."
Jiang Xixi was stunned and handed the medicine bowl in her hand to the servant. She took the note in his hand and spread it out. She found that there were no words on it, only a house was drawn. Although there were only a few strokes, it was vivid and vivid, which made her see at a glance that it was Fengle Tower on the Imperial Street.
Jiang Xixi smiled and said, "I knew I was illiterate, so I drew a restaurant to lead me over. I'm afraid there is only one person in the world who can do such a thing."
She ordered the servant to bring the medicine to Cheng Muyou, and then hurried out of the door and walked towards the Yujie.
As soon as he arrived at Fengle Tower, a friend came to the door to greet her and took her to the innermost private room. He opened the door respectfully, and the young man stepped down. Jiang Xixi lifted the curtain and walked in. Seeing that Yan Niang had already sat at the table. Seeing that she was coming, she smiled and waved her to come.
Jiang Xixi then sat next to her and held Yan Niang's hand warmly, "I knew it was a girl who was looking for me, but when did the girl come to Bianliang? I didn't tell me?"
"I arrived a few days ago. I knew that your adult was injured, so I took some medicine and wanted you to hand it over to him." As he said that, Yan Niang took out a small paper bag and handed it to Jiang Xixi. "After seeing this, Lord Cheng naturally knows how to use it, you can just give it to him."
Jiang Xixi carefully put the paper bag away, and then smiled and leaned over, "The girl cares about my adults, and she always mentions the girl from time to time. I see, you two are really..."
"I heard that Lord Cheng's father was a magistrate of the Imperial Hospital before. Did Lord Cheng learn all his amazing medical skills from his father?" Yan Niang blocked Jiang Xixi's words back.
"Of course my master's medical skills are great, but he is better than his elders. In the past, when the master encountered difficult-to-treat diseases, he would often discuss with him. He could always peel off the threads and find the crux of the problem, so as to prescribe the right medicine." Jiang Xixi said here, his face full of admiration.
"The magistrate of the court actually listened to his son." Yan Niang said leisurely, and she looked at Jiang Xixi again, "What's the relationship between them father and son?"
Jiang Xixi grabbed his head, "My adults have been smart since childhood, so the master has high hopes for him, hoping that he can go further in his career in the future and shine his ancestors," she turned her eyes, "Miss Yan, why did you suddenly inquire about the family affairs of the Cheng family?"
Yan Niang's face stagnated, and then she raised a smile from the corner of her mouth, "It's nothing, I just thought of it, so I just asked casually."
As she said that, she picked up the teacup in front of her and drank it with Jiang Xixi. Before she could put the cup down, she suddenly heard a noise coming from outside. The sound came from the inn opposite Fengle Building. She was filled with fear and seemed to have been greatly frightened.
Jiang Xixi hurriedly walked to the window and picked up the bamboo curtains. She saw people in the inn running out, shouting while running, "There are dead people, there are dead people inside."
Without thinking about his professional habits, Jiang Xixi ran downstairs of Fengle Tower. Yan Niang followed her. The two of them walked with the crowd and squeezed for a long time before they walked into the inn.
The shopkeeper of the inn was standing inside the counter rubbing his hands and looking up in panic. Seeing this, Jiang Xixi walked towards him, "I am from the government, what happened to the second floor?"
"Your Majesty, you're here just now. My friend went to a room upstairs that has not been in a long time to clean. Unexpectedly, as soon as he pushed the door in, he saw...he saw a corpse. What should I do?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xixi and Yan Niang looked at each other and ran upstairs together. The two of them came to a room with an open door, slowed down and walked past the threshold one by one.
A man lay on the table facing the door. The man was wearing military uniform and looked like a soldier. His head was on the table, making it impossible to see his appearance clearly. His arms were hanging heavily and hung below without moving.
Jiang Xixi walked over and tried his fingers at the tip of the man's nose, but it seemed as if it was burned and quickly shrank back.
"I'm so angry?" Yan Niang asked afterwards.
"I know this person, he... is the leader of the Imperial Army... He Xu."
