Assuming that the autopsy results conducted by the old man are correct at all, the fatal wounds on Shangchun's parents were torn out by wild beasts, and it was the wild beasts that killed them.

There is also the younger brother who is enjoying the spring. Only two fingers of the younger brother were left at the scene of his murder. As the old man speculated, he was killed on the spot by the beast because he was young and had tender flesh, which was very suitable for the appetite of the beast. After eating the full belly, only two fingers were left, or the beast dragged away Shangchun's younger brother and used it as food storage for the next meal after eating the hands and internal organs of Shangchun's parents.

Assuming that the above hypothesis is true, then why is there no trace of the murderous and man-eating beast nearby? The villagers who have lived nearby said they have never seen the beast?

Is it true that there are no ferocious beasts, or are the villagers just lying?

If there were no ferocious beasts, then where were the mutilations on the corpses of Shangchun’s parents, and what were the wounds that resembled the bites of ferocious beasts?
If there is a ferocious beast, but the villagers say there is no such thing, then what is the reason that makes all the villagers say it is false, and who is behind it?

Meng Shisan picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and then took a sesame-stuffed meatball that Jinyin had made in the past two days. He put the whole ball into his mouth, not too big or too small, just enough for one bite. When he bit it, the sesame flavor was instantly in his mouth. It bursts out, neither sweet nor salty, with a slight fruit wine flavor, very fragrant and delicious.

"Not bad." After finishing the meal, he took another one.

One after another, the plate was quickly eaten by her.

Bao Zhu made two more bowls of tea in the middle, but she drank them all.

Shangchun was discharged from the hospital to ask Shangxia and get some information from the old servants in the house. Kite went outside to find out the origin of the gecko inkstone. Meng Shisan couldn't sit still and couldn't think about the truth of the year. She planned to Go to Zeng Mansion again.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of Mingxiao Hall with the orb, he met Aunt Guo head-on. Meng Shisan saluted, "Mommy."

Aunt Guo responded with a loving smile on her face: "Miss, are you going out?"

"I want to go out, but I'm not in a hurry. If you have anything to do, grandma, just tell me." Meng Shisan replied and wanted to take grandma Guo into Mingxiao Hall.

Aunt Guo waved her hand: "It's nothing important. It's just that His Highness has given me permission to return to the East Palace. After lunch, I will leave."

Meng Shisan had been mentally prepared for a long time, and it was not sudden when he heard: "Then I won't go out. How about I share lunch with grandma?"

"Very good." Aunt Guo came to Mingxiao Hall to see Meng Shisan with the same intention. She was very happy that Meng Shisan took the initiative to speak.

The news that Aunt Guo was going back to the palace in the afternoon spread quickly. Mrs. Meng asked Mr. Shang to prepare carefully. During lunch, except for the men of the Meng family who were in the Yamen, all the masters gathered in the upper room to bid farewell to Aunt Guo. .

Aunt Guo did not refuse Mrs. Meng's kindness, although she preferred to have lunch with Meng 13 alone.

Meng Renkang returned to Qingbei Academy to study early this morning, so during lunch, Meng Renji only showed up at the beginning of the banquet, toasted Aunt Guo with a glass of wine, and thanked Aunt Guo for teaching Meng Shisan. He went back to the hospital to have lunch by himself.

At the farewell banquet at Deren Hall, the guests and hosts rejoiced together.

After returning to Taichen Courtyard, Grandma Guo asked Sharong to pack her things, and she and Meng Shisan walked to Mingxiao Hall: "I saw that the second master's face didn't seem to be very good."

"Mommy has a sharp eye. Grandma, aunt, father, and Wu didn't notice it, but grandma noticed it." In one sentence, Meng Shisan made it clear that Meng Renji had no influence in the Meng Mansion. On the surface.

Aunt Guo glanced at Meng Shisan and saw that Meng Shisan's expression was as usual, as if the words she just said had no other meaning and were just a casual reply to her. She raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "Sometimes you don't get noticed. , but live more comfortably.”

Meng Shisan agreed with this statement: "Mommy is right."

"His Royal Highness said that he would invite the eldest lady to the East Palace at some time. I will have a good talk with the eldest lady then." Aunt Guo dug a hole first with a hint.Meng Shisan has to actually enter the East Palace to know what this trap is: "It is Yaoyao's honor to be taught by grandma."

"It's not about teaching Hui, and the eldest lady doesn't need my teaching." Aunt Guo said sincerely.

Meng Shisan probed: "I heard that grandma has a good sister who is also serving Empress Xianyuan. Her maiden name is Miaoduo and her surname is Zhang?"

When Grandma Guo heard this, a painful emotion appeared in her eyes for a moment, and then within two breaths, she quickly suppressed it: "That's good, Miss. That's good."

He avoided answering and instead praised her. It seemed that she was at least half right.

"The big car from the palace to pick up Nanny is coming soon. Nanny, please go sit in the hall and try the newly made gold and silver incense tablets." Meng Shisan said and asked Baozhu who was following behind to prepare it.

The best way to make tea is to enjoy the spring, followed by gold and silver, and the third is pearls. Usually, if you brew more pearls, your tea art will also improve.

Baozhu quickly brewed two bowls of incense tablets.

"Mommy, please." Meng Shisan said.

"Miss, please." Grandma Guo has been paying attention to Meng Shisan's every move. She can't find fault with his words and deeds. Compared with when she first entered Meng's house, they are indeed much more standardized and elegant.

Bao Zhu took the tray and stepped back. Before taking the tray back to the tea room, he almost bumped into Xiu Yu: "What are you doing in a hurry? It's okay to bump into me. If you bump into the lady, you will be punished!"

Let Aunt Shangchun know that she can punish such a reckless Xiuyu until she cries!

"Second Young Master Lu is here!" Xiuyu didn't know that Shangchun's punishment methods were very powerful, but when the concierge said that Uncle Lu Xiaoguo, who had two fights with their young lady, was here, she could not panic. What!

"Come as soon as you come..." Baozhu reacted mid-sentence, "Who did you say came to your door?"

"Second Young Master Lu! Uncle Xiaoguo!" Xiuyu repeated, "He said he has something to do with the young lady!"

Bao Zhu stuffed the tray into Xiu Yu's arms: "I'll report it to Miss, take this back to the tea room!"

When Meng Shisan received the report of the orb, Grandma Guo heard it at the scene and stood up consciously: "I'm going to see if the gauze has been packed away. Miss, just go ahead and get busy."

"Okay, if you need any help, grandma just tell Bing'er." Meng Shisan really didn't have time to sit with her anymore.

As soon as Grandma Guo returned to the east chamber, Meng Shisan took the orb and walked out of the courtyard: "Did you tell me what you wanted to do with me?"

Bao Zhu shook her head first, then stopped in the middle. She looked at Xiu Yu who took the tray back to the tea room, then returned to the door of Ming Xiao Hall, and now followed her to the front yard.

Xiuyu also shook her head: "Go back to Miss, the concierge came to report. He only said that Mr. Lu was waiting for Miss outside the gate, but didn't say what happened."

Meng Shisan walked all the way to the gate of the mansion and saw Lu Luo standing at the stone steps of the gate, pausing for a moment, then stepped down the stone steps.
