Brother Wanfu

Chapter 9
Strings of raindrops fell from the eaves of the corridor, and when Qin Shen arrived, the bitter and strong smell of medicine overflowed from the crack of the door.

Old Lang Zhong stepped back after asking about the diagnosis, and Qin Shen stepped forward in two steps.

"How is mother?"

The old Langzhong handed over to him, "Master Qin, don't worry, Mrs. Qin is not in any danger at the moment, but her mind is restless, her energy and blood are exhausted, and this time she was stimulated again, not only did her body not improve, but she fell into a bad situation again."

The old man told Qin Shen the details of the pulse diagnosis.

Mrs. Qin has been in poor health for more than ten years, and she often consults doctors for medicine. Qin Shen has learned a little bit of the art of diversion and yellowing since he was a child. After hearing what the old doctor said, his face sank like water, and he stood silently in the corridor of the main courtyard.

The old man left a prescription, Qin Shen didn't let him leave immediately, instead he asked the old man to go to the guest house to rest for a while.

The rain kept falling, and I don't know how long later, the sound of footsteps in the room came to the door, Qin Shen turned his head to look, and the servant girl hurried forward.

"The madam is awake and wants to see the young master."

Qin Shen gave a "hmm", brushed off the damp and cold air from the hem of his clothes, and then turned and went into the room.

Mrs. Qin lay on the bed, silently looking at her son.

Seeing this, Qin Shen simply waved his hand to let all the attendants retreat, and asked Fu Wen to guard the door.

The room was filled with a strong smell of medicine.

"You..." Mrs. Qin couldn't help coughing as soon as she uttered a word.

Qin Shen quickly handed over water to serve his mother.

"Mother, don't worry. My son didn't handle this matter properly. Whatever you want to know, my son can just say it."

What else Mrs. Qin would like to know is of course the truth.

She panted and glanced at Qin Shen.

"Tell me, don't, don't lie to me again."

Now that the matter was over, Qin Shen told the truth.

"The son did deal with Liao Shun half a month ago and buried him on the spot in Zhucheng. First, he was afraid that his mother would be hurt by it, and second, he didn't want to scare the snake, so he didn't tell the matter. He didn't want to let his mother know in this way. gone."

Mrs. Qin was a little surprised, and slightly straightened her upper body.

"Then Liao Shun, what kind of mistake did you make? Who are you referring to when you say that we should startle the snake?"

Qin Shen took a cushion from the side and gave it to his mother.

In these years, his father worked with him outside, and indeed he rarely told his mother.

But at this time Qin Shen also had to say it clearly.

"It's my father's old enemy Xing Landong. By the way, Liao was bribed by members of the Xing family to secretly pass on the news, and even under the help of the Xing family. He has a rich friendship with the pirates. He really can't stay."

Mrs. Qin was very surprised by these words.

"Then Liao Shun was bribed by the Xing family." Mrs. Qin couldn't help coughing, "Their family has been with me for more than [-] years, and I have treated him well. It is in vain for him to do such a betrayal."

Before Mrs. Qin could finish speaking, her mood began to fluctuate, coughing and panting.

Qin Shen had already guessed that his mother would not listen to these words, so he immediately called the old man who was resting in the guest courtyard over.

After applying acupuncture and taking medicine, it took about two quarters of an hour before Mrs. Qin recovered.

The old man couldn't help but look at the eldest son, "If Master Qin talks to his wife, he must be careful."

Qin Shen sighed and nodded silently.

When everyone retreated again, Qin Shen looked at his mother's haggard look, and said.

"Son doesn't want to tell mother, that's why."

Mrs. Qin was shocked and angry before, not only her husband, but also her son lied to her, now hearing Qin Shen's words, she was a little stunned.

"It's useless to be a mother, you can't even restrain your own companion"

She thought that she had been taking medicine for many years and had no time to take care of the outside affairs, and she couldn't help feeling sad.

Qin Shen couldn't help it, he was not good at persuading others, so he could only pour a cup of tea for Madam Qin and sit with her for a while.

Fortunately, Mrs. Qin had taken the medicine, and from time to time the strength of the medicine came up, and she fell asleep.

The strong medicinal gas circled repeatedly, and Qin Shen walked out of the main room slowly.

Fu Wen came back to report, saying that today the old man was invited to stay in the mansion, and the old man himself said that he should, saying that Mrs. Qin's situation is really dangerous. If it was not for the fact that he happened to be practicing medicine in the next door mansion today, he might not be able to save his wife in time.

It was still raining, Qin Shen held his hands behind his back, and walked along the Chaoshou corridor to his own courtyard, Xifeng Pavilion.

Fu Wen followed closely behind, whispering something else.

".The subordinates have already sent people to ask about the situation before and after the incident. Liao Shun's body was indeed transported by the Yamen. They didn't know that Liao Shun was from our mansion, but it is said that Zhucheng knew Liao Shun. Liao Shun had his throat cut to death. The yamen of Zhucheng didn't dare to be the master, so they sent them to the yamen of Qingzhou.
"Ms. Liao, she really came to the mansion today. She wanted Huang Ling to come forward and find a decent doctor for her mother. When the body was brought in, she was in the outer courtyard and screamed when she saw her brother's body. .
"Both Xiao Yun and Huang Ling didn't want to tell Madam, but Madam saw that there was a difference in their behavior, and if they insisted on asking, they said they were afraid Madam would get angry and had to speak out.
Fu Wen said everything before and after, and glanced at his master.

The man was walking to a clump of green bamboo.

A string of raindrops fell from top to bottom, but they were all cut into dew by the sharp new bamboo leaves, and scattered and rolled down.

The cold light in the corner of the man's eyes resembled that bamboo leaf.

"continue."

Obviously it's all said and done, but it's still going on.

Fu Wen's heart trembled, and his voice was lowered by three points.

"Chao Yunxuan, from the beginning to the end, there was no movement."

When the words fell to the ground, Fu Wen saw his master frowned slightly.

"is it?"

"The subordinates only found these for the time being," he said hastily, "but it happened by a coincidence, and several improbable points were put together."

To be honest, even Fu Wen himself couldn't believe it.

It was obviously a corpse buried deep in Zhucheng, why did it suddenly appear at Qin's house in Qingzhou after a rain?

As for the affairs in the outer courtyard, the wife who was recuperating in the inner house happened to know about it.

The Qin family has been stable for many years, even if there is someone like Liao Shun who betrays the master, it will soon be found that the cooking is clean and will not have any influence on the master in the house.

But since it was revealed that the master had a daughter outside, and after the girl from Chao Yunxuan came, the Qin family seemed to be uneasy.

Especially for Madam, it seems that there is an unfavorable feeling in the dark.

But these days, Fu Wen asked people who were secretly staring at Chao Yunxuan every day, and none of the guards found any problems.

The girl was either planting herbs in the yard or running rabbits, she couldn't have been more peaceful.

Even Fu Wen couldn't figure out how she could keep her peace.

However, something unfavorable to Madam still happened.

My grandfather still walked in front without changing his footsteps, stepping on the stone slabs with accumulated water, making the crisp sound of breaking through the water from time to time.

The whole Qin Mansion panicked in the rain.

Fu Wen said in a low voice.

"Either, it really has nothing to do with Chao Yunxuan, or, that girl is probably a very powerful person."

Qin Shen's footsteps stepped into a patch of rain, and stopped after a ding-dong sound.

Fu Wen saw Grandpa raised his head and looked in a certain direction.

Fu Wen looked over, and saw the eaves of Chaoyunxuan whose vision was blurred under the rain curtain.

He heard Grandpa's hoarse and cold voice.

"Better, not her."

The words did not continue, the sky suddenly flashed white, and the thunder rumbled.

*
Chaoyunxuan.

Not long after that shrill cry, there was the sound of chaotic footsteps near the main courtyard, and then a doctor came in a hurry, Qin Tian also heard a thing or two.

She didn't know what happened, what was just a twitching eyelid, which was disturbing.

The lady in charge, Mrs. Wang, went out for a trip, and when she came back, she had a weird expression on her face.

Qin Tian looked at her, she thought about it and told Qin Tian.

". Liao Shun's body was found in Zhucheng, and the yamen sent it to the mansion. Madam was frightened and passed out."

Qin Tian almost failed to stand still.

She thought that only she, Chang Zi, and the direct brother and the people below knew about this matter. She thought that as long as she and Chang Zi didn't talk nonsense, it would be impossible to reveal this matter.

But now. Is this really a coincidence?
Brother Di, what would you think of it?

Accumulative rain clouds piled on the sky above the courtyard, and it was dark for a while, as if night was about to fall.

The gray sky was shining on Qin Tian's face, his face was not full of blood, and his expression was gloomy.

She no longer dared to think about the brother-sister relationship, but the sudden occurrence of this incident seemed to force her to walk on a path that made him suspicious and disgusted.

Is it a coincidence, or is someone secretly manipulating it?
Mrs. Wang went down after she finished speaking, only Qin Tian and the rabbit huddled aside were left in the room.

Except around the windows, the whole room was dark in the moisture, and the corners were hidden in the darkness without light, making people unable to see clearly and dare not go forward to see clearly.

Qin Tian thought about this matter in a daze. She didn't have any manpower in this house, nor did she have enough information, so she couldn't think of anything.

She is like a blindfolded person thrown into a maze.

You can't see your surroundings, and you can't know your way.

Everything in pitch black is frightening.

The small body of Dumb Rabbit trembled slightly in the dark room, Qin Tian hugged it on his lap and held it in his palm.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the hall will be bright when you light the candle."

She said in a daze, lit a candle, hugged the rabbit and sat in the place where the faint light cast light.

She was protecting the rabbit, Hui Fat was much quieter and relaxed.

Looking at the dumb rabbit in his arms, for a moment, Qin Tian suddenly thought, if only he was a rabbit.

At least, in this strange and dark place, there are still people who can protect her a little bit.

Just for a moment, just to give her a little bit of safety, that's fine
She sat under the window in confusion, not knowing how long it had been.

The rain was about to stop, the sky was getting dark gradually, and the lamps were gradually turned on in all courtyards of the Qin Mansion, but the food that was delivered on time has not arrived yet.

Tian Dong and Su Ye glanced at each other, both felt strange, Mrs. Qia Wang was not in the mansion, the two discussed it, and Tian Dong went to the stove to ask.

She went, but did not return after two quarters of an hour.

Su Ye was very surprised, the kitchen was not too far from Chaoyunxuan, and it took a quarter of an hour to make a round trip. Tiandong is not a playful person, why didn't he come back for so long?
Then she sent another clever servant girl who cleaned the yard to find Tiandong, and told the little servant girl to run over quickly to have a look.

However, after a quarter of an hour, the little maid was also outside and never came back.

Su Ye felt that something was wrong, so he asked Qin Tian to tell him about it.

"Why don't the servants bring you some flower cakes to pad your stomach first, and the servants go to find them in person?"

Qin Tian went to the gate of Chaoyunxuan, Tiandong and the others had no intention of coming back, so she thought about it for a while.

"Let me go and have a look with you."
