Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 46

Seeing that Sister Feng didn't want to say anything, Uncle Rong didn't ask any more questions.He rubbed his fingers that were stiff and bloodless from holding the pen for the portrait.

This scene was noticed by Sister Feng, and she handed over the copper stove that warmed her hands. "Roast your hands to warm them up, press my shoulders, my neck is always uncomfortable these days."

Uncle Rong knows that these are normal phenomena after pregnancy. Not only the neck is prone to fatigue, but also the spirit will be slightly listless, and even the whole body will be weak.

Jia Rong smiled and said: "Good aunt, you are pregnant now, and your shoulders are not easy to press. You have to be careful even with your hands and feet, and don't ask Miss Ping to knock indiscriminately when you are in the courtyard."

"Would you let them touch you on weekdays, and treat your aunt as an insignificant person?" Sister Feng rolled her eyes at Jia Rong, "If you don't want to, forget it, and make many excuses."

Brother Rong put down the copper stove and sat down beside Sister Feng.Said embarrassingly: "Rong'er give Auntie a light rub on her calf. Auntie usually has much more tired feet during this period, so she tends to have symptoms of sore feet."

Wang Xifeng did feel a little weak in her legs these days, and felt sore when she couldn't walk a few steps.Puzzled and asked: "You also learned this in Lihentian? Could it be that there are pregnant women in the sky?"

"I heard some taboos mentioned by the heavenly beings!" Fortunately, the carriage drove very slowly to take care of the pregnant Sister Feng, so Uncle Rong squatted in the carriage without feeling the wobble.Brother Rong took Sister Feng's left foot and put it on his lap, rubbing it gently.

Although through the gown and trousers, Sister Feng felt her calf being held by Brother Rong, and her face flushed somewhat.Apart from Jia Lian, Rong'er was the second person who held her leg.This was very different from Rong'er's usual tapping. The slight strength felt on the calf muscles made her face feel hot.

"Good aunt, are you comfortable?"

When Uncle Rong saw Wang Xifeng's eyes closed, he only nodded slightly, and the movements of his hands were a little lighter.And always guard against the shaking of the carriage, and be ready to support Sister Feng.

After a while, Brother Rong put down Wang Xifeng's left foot, walked around to her right side and rubbed it.Said: "Auntie, let Rong'er rub her right leg again."

Jia Rong noticed that Sister Cheng Feng didn't make a sound or nodded, as if she was leaning on the carriage and fell asleep.

She must be tired, she is always busy in the West Mansion while she is pregnant.Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang don't care about the affairs of the inner house. They set up rules every day, and everything depends on Sister Feng.

Ugh……

Uncle Rong gently put down Sister Feng's right leg and sat down with Sister Feng.Wang Xifeng seemed to feel Jia Rong beside her, and leaned her head slightly on Brother Rong's shoulder.Baibai's jade hands also came over, and said softly: "Rong'er rub your palms for me."

There are hundreds of people in Rongguo Mansion, and there are many affairs in each house and courtyard, and everyone has to deal with the small thoughts of everyone.It is indeed not easy for Sister Feng, who is only twenty years old, to worry about so many things.

Brother Rong carefully held this hand, but did not make any other movements, only held it in the palm of his hand and hugged it.

Jia Rong was surprised to find that Wang Xifeng didn't say anything.He didn't withdraw his hand, as if acquiescing to Brother Rong's move.

Every minute passed by...

Time seems to be slowed down, very slowly.Brother Rong felt that the little hand he was holding was getting hotter and hotter, so he squeezed it in a strange way.

Very soft and warm.

Seeing that Sister Feng didn't resist, Brother Rong boldly crossed his fingers with this hand and put it on his thigh, and put the other hand against the back of her hand, covering their hands with a fur cloak.

When the carriage stopped, Miss Ping shouted outside: "Grandma, Uncle Xiao Rong, it's time to enter the mansion."

At this time, Brother Rong saw that Sister Feng on her shoulder suddenly opened her eyes, coughed, and withdrew her hand from Brother Rong's arms.Suddenly said: "It's here."

Brother Rong helped Sister Feng out of the car with some regrets, and saw Sister Feng was carried into Rongguo Mansion in a different sedan chair.Then he withdrew his gaze and continued to board the carriage to return to the East Mansion.

The next day, the heavy snow in Shenjing finally stopped.Brother Rong found Lai Sheng and asked him to arrange for someone to clean up the burnt Doufeng Pavilion.

Later in the afternoon, Brother Rong and Keqing were having dinner at Youshi's place. Lai Sheng's family came over and said, "I found a secret room in Dou Feng Xuan. Manager Lai is on guard at the scene. Please invite the uncle and wife to preside over it."

"It's just a secret room, why is your man making such a fuss?" You Shi asked.

The daughter-in-law of Lai Sheng's family came up and whispered in Youshi's ear: "The fire in the building should have started from the secret room, and there are two burnt corpses inside. The manager has already left everyone who entered the secret room behind." On the spot, everyone else was dismissed."

Hearing this, everyone knew that Doufengxuan's fire was strange.At first, everyone thought it was because of the dryness of the sky, and they accidentally left the water.Now that the body is found in the building, the nature of the matter is different.

Brother Rong frowned and said to Keqing and Youshi: "I'll go and have a look first, Madam first check if there is anyone missing in the mansion recently."

…………

"How could this be?"

A group of young men stood outside the ruins of Doufengxuan, and Uncle Rong followed Lai Sheng down the secret room.It's a secret room rather than a basement. The basement is very spacious. From the traces after burning, it can be seen that there used to be a lot of books here.

Now all the desks and bookshelves in the secret room were burned, and the two corpses were lying beside the desk.Fortunately, it was freezing cold, and the corpse did not emit any stench, but its appearance was still hideous and terrifying.

"Does the manager know this place?" Uncle Rong asked with a dark face.

Lai Sheng shook his head again and again, and said: "Dou Feng Xuan is the place where the master entertains distinguished guests. Only the master has the key here, and outsiders are not allowed to enter without the master's permission."

Jia Rong still felt that something was wrong. She was Jia Zhen who was splashing boiling water at Fengxuan, and Jia Zhen was sent to another courtyard.Then the key here should be kept by the wife, how can other people get in without the key?

Brother Rong and Lai Sheng looked at the secret room again, and all the things inside were burnt down without leaving anything of value.On the contrary, the appearance of the two corpses is very strange. The corpses are a man and a woman. The woman is curled up as if she had struggled violently in the fire, while the man's body is also curled up, but it seems to be deformed by high temperature.

"Find someone to carry it out and bury it." Brother Rong is neither a detective nor a policeman, so he doesn't have that great investigative ability.He also didn't want to make a fuss about the matter, and it was best for him to deal with it in a low-key manner.

"Then here?"

Jia Rong said: "It was said that the boy in the mansion was having an affair with the maid in the Doufeng Pavilion, and accidentally pushed it into the candlelight, not only hurting himself but also burning the Doufeng Pavilion."

Lai Sheng grinned and nodded, but he couldn't figure out why the whole Doufeng Pavilion could be burned down by a fire in the secret room.The walls of this secret room are obviously made of stone slabs, so how can it be burned outside.

In the afternoon, the mansion finally found out which two were missing. One was the concubine Jia Zhen bought last and was locked up in a remote courtyard in the mansion, and the other was the long follower who had just entered the mansion for a few months.

After hearing the identities of the two, Brother Rong felt that the matter was not simple.It stands to reason that it is impossible for a long follower to come into contact with the imprisoned concubine Ji, so how could they get together?What annoyed him even more was that the people imprisoned in the yard disappeared and no one found out.
