Zhe Jinchun

Chapter 50

Qin Su was silent for a while, but A Li beside him couldn't help but interjected: "Two days ago, why didn't I fish it out until today? It's been two days."

Jin Xiu leisurely turned the clothes in her hands, and looked at Ali with a half-smile: "You have been in the mansion for too short a time, and you haven't learned all the rules, so you don't know that you have to take shifts to sweep the courtyard. It's not even the old woman's turn to sweep the courtyard, and she is usually very withdrawn, walking alone, and she is the only one living in the place, who would know that she is gone?"

Loneliness...alone...living with only one person...

Qin Su's heart trembled slightly.

For some reason, the combination of these words gave her a bad feeling.

She looked at Jinxiu with a smug face, before she was about to speak, Ali was already angry and said first: "Hmph, I know the rules, of course I know that sweeping the courtyard is a shift. I'm just surprised that they don't want to fetch water for sweeping the courtyard." What? So how come no one noticed when I was soaking in the well? Two days..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Jinxiu had already burst into laughter: "Oh, silly Ali, it's winter now, it's either raining or snowing, do we still need water for sweeping the yard?"

Ah Li was immediately stopped by the question, and after a while, her little face flushed red, and she couldn't say anything to refute with her mouth puffed up.

Seeing her slumped, Jinxiu became even more proud and said, "That's why I said you don't understand. Cleaning the yard on a rainy and snowy day requires water only for plastering, and a tank of water is enough for three or four days/ It's gone."

The two talked for a long time, but they still didn't mention the point that Qin Su wanted to know the most.

She couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

She wanted to ask Jinxiu a question, but she couldn't ask, and she didn't dare to ask.

A Dou is gone, will the person who has been watching her secretly for eight years put someone else in?If she pays too much attention to this old woman, will it cause unnecessary suspicion?
In addition, if the old woman is really the person she thought, then the cause of the old woman's death is very questionable.

Overboard?It's a good idea.

Qin Su secretly sneered.

Forget it, let's ask Qin Yanwan another day.Compared with these servants, the master of the Qin family is obviously more credible.

Having made up her mind, she opened the corner of her skirt to look at the plaster on her knee.

At this moment, a timid voice suddenly sounded: "Sister Jinxiu, that... that poor mother-in-law, I seem to have seen her before, she often goes to the corner gate of the garden to pick up dead leaves, she is also kind, Willing to talk to us, she has a lot of pockmarks on her face, is she the one sister Jinxiu is talking about?"

Qin Su's heart skipped a beat.

She couldn't help but want to look up and take a look at the person who spoke.

However, in the next breath, a cold look flashed across her lowered eyes.

What the voice asked was exactly what she wanted to know the most!
However, this question has nothing to do with the previous conversation!
Inexplicably, this timid voice made Qin Su's heart feel cold, and his hands and feet were instantly cold.

Could it be that she was discovered?
Didn't the person behind the scene notice the killing of A Dou, so he killed the pockmarked woman, cut off the path of the pockmarked woman, didn't give her a chance to follow the vine, and then sent someone to test her and see her reaction?
Qin Su wasn't sure, but she didn't dare to gamble either.

So, what kind of response should she make is the safest and most reasonable?

Qin Liuniang, who had just returned from the farm, should have reacted when she heard these words?
In half a moment, my mind has changed a thousand times.

Qin Su's hand turning the corner of her skirt barely paused, and she made a decision in an instant.

"Ah Li, come and see for me, is the plaster ready?" She said lazily, frowning as she observed the plaster, seemingly indifferent to Cai Jinxiu's words

How can a dead servant compare to his own knee injury?
This is the reaction Qin Liuniang should have, or in other words, this is the reaction any girl who loves beauty will have.

Ali heard the sound and came over immediately, before coming, she gave Jinxiu a hard look, and reprimanded: "Don't always say this in front of girls, it's unlucky."

It was only then that Jinxiu remembered that the topic she had brought up was really taboo, but luckily it was in Dongli, if she were in Donghuaju, she would already be eating hands-on.

She hurriedly got up from the stove and went to help Ah Li look at the plaster. She didn't continue to answer the little maid's question just now.

Qin Su was talking to A Li at this time: "...you see it's all like this, isn't it all right?" She was a little impatient, complaining in her tone: "I've been sitting for a long time, I want to get up and take a walk."

Ali looked seriously at the color of the plaster on her knee, shook her head and said, "It's not enough, let's wait half an hour. Girl, bear with it."

Qin Su sighed, frowned, raised her head and ordered Jinxiu: "Bring me the box that my second sister gave me." It seemed that she wanted to read the scriptures that Qin Yanwan and the others helped to copy.

Jinxiu just entered the house, and she was sent out with a single sentence, and her heart was full of displeasure.He stepped out of the door with a sullen face, only to see the little maid who asked the question just now was still standing in the room, looking around enviously.

"Why are you still here?" Jinxiu sternly said, her face so heavy that water could be squeezed out: "Who allowed you to stay in the house? Is this a place for you to stay? Why don't you go outside and wipe the railing?"

The little maid jumped up in fright, smiled flatteringly at Jin Xiu, and hurriedly backed out.

Jinxiu had a seizure, felt a little better, then shook her head and said mockingly: "One by one, stupid." Then she turned around and went to a room beside her.

The little maid heard Jin Xiu's words, she rolled her eyes inwardly, and went to get busy with her work.

No one mentioned the topic of the old woman who fell into the water in Dongli.

At midnight that night, a piece of paper came into the hands of someone in the Qin residence.There was no word written on the crumpled note, only a crooked circle was drawn.

The man finished reading the note by the faint candlelight, and burned it on the fire, hummed a little song softly, and then said to himself: "I thought I suddenly became smarter." After speaking, he laughed softly. stand up.

The night was as thick as ink, enveloping every corner of the Qin residence, this low laugh also fell into the thick night, and disappeared in an instant...

On the first day of November, Qin Su got up very early.

According to the rules of the Qin Mansion, the first and fifteenth day of each month are the days to go to Dehui Hall to pay your respects.

Because of the funeral in October, Mrs. Tai exempted the fifteenth greeting.Therefore, today is the first time Qin Su sees Mrs. Tai after returning home, so she must be more careful.

After washing and washing, a servant girl opened the door curtain.

The sky outside was still pitch black, and all the lanterns under the porch were lit. Under the lights, there were snowflakes dancing and sliding quietly through the halos of dim yellow.

There was no wind today, and it was slightly warmer than before. Qin Su still wrapped several layers of cotton clothes before leading people out of Dongli's courtyard gate.

　Thank you Zhou Zhouzhou for the sachet and a lot of amulets for the children's shoes, thank you for the slow-burning C4, like ice, cool and frozen, and the amulets for the children's shoes of Qingni Fumingyue.Today is the first day of work during the long holiday, so don't be late for work.
