Sheng Chong and God Investigate the Princess

6 Mist
"Master, it was my concubine who asked Steward Zhou to invite Shen Misheng." Yayoi was about to answer, but a delicate female voice came in, it was the beauty just now.She came in with a silk veil, and her jade fingers looked even whiter on the brocade.

Yayoi's eyes moved, and many thoughts had already turned in her mind.This self-proclaimed "concubine" woman is young and beautiful, so she can only be Zhou Yanqing's concubine.But why would a concubine act against the master's will for a comatose daughter-in-law?The water in Zhou's house seems to be deeper than she imagined.

Zhou Yanqing frowned more and more, "Ningbi, you are just messing around!"

"Master!" Ning Bi knelt down, and said softly while wiping the filthy couch, "This house is haunted, and it's not a solution to go on for a long time. The head catcher Shen is extraordinary, if this matter can be settled, Isn't it a good thing?"

"Ke Ningbi..." Zhou Yanqing seemed to be persuaded, but he still hesitated.

Ning Bi smiled coquettishly, "If my sister is here, I must be very happy!"

"Hey, that's all." Zhou Yanqing waved his hand, "Shen Butou, if you want to ask anything, just ask."

Two quarters of an hour later, Yayoi led Ah Qi out of Zhou Yanqing's study, and walked towards Yingluo Pavilion along the same spot.Ah Qi followed Yayoi closely, her face pale, "Miss... are we really going to catch ghosts in Yingluo Pavilion tonight?"

"Don't worry, we're not hunting ghosts," Yayoi turned her head and raised the corners of her lips, "We're going to break the rumor."

"Could it be..." Ah Qi recalled the scene of Duan Sinan's rage just now, and asked cautiously, "Miss thinks it was Mrs. Duan who pushed Miss Tuesday out of the Yingluo Pavilion?"

"It was just a suspicion just now, but it's almost confirmed now." The look on Yayoi's face was unreal in the shade of trees and flowers, "Go and invite Doctor Wang from the north of the city tomorrow morning, I have a few things to ask him. "

"Okay." Ah Qi frowned and agreed, and then muttered, "But this servant doesn't look like Mr. Duan..."

"Oh? Why?"

"Master Duan is so good-looking and suave, how could he do such a thing?" Ah Qi was very sad.

"The skin is the last thing you should trust in this world." Yayoi's voice was cold, "It will lie to you, and you will lose your judgment, that's why I would rather examine the scene carefully than interrogate others too much .”

"We don't know what we saw, we just believe what we saw. And in this way, the truth is always relative."

"Ah Qi, do you understand? Even with the most powerful eyes in the world, you still can't see through people's hearts, and you can't know all the truth."

Yayoi's eyes were shrouded in a cloud of flower shadows, which looked extraordinarily clear.

Ah Qi nodded with a half understanding.

It was night, Yayoi was leaning on the railing of Yingluo Pavilion and staring at Pingting Courtyard, Aqi was already fast asleep on the maid's couch in the back room, her breath was long, and the surroundings were quiet.

The Zhou family is the wealthiest family in Fuliang County. The pavilions, terraces, waterside pavilions, carved railings and painted columns spread for dozens of miles along the Fuliang River. Sitting on the second floor of the Yingluo Pavilion, you can't see the end.The weather is getting colder. In the middle of the night, there is thin graupel, which is reflected by the cold moonlight, which makes people have the illusion of rippling water.

Half of Yayoi leaned out of the pavilion, only to hear the sound of frogs in the small pool behind the rockery not far away.There are clumps of aquatic plants growing under the rockery, lush and unrestrained, shrouded in the shadow of flowers, like clouds of dark clouds and mist.

The lights in Pingting Courtyard went out one by one.

It got dark all around, and it became more and more bright and deep under the moonlight.

Yayoi looked up, the moonlight was so beautiful tonight.

Aqi in the room didn't know what dreamed, and murmured a few vague words.Yayoi vaguely heard that it was her jokes when chasing Yan Jun in the old days, she couldn't help smiling, the coldness in her eyes melted, and some warmth floated up.

Yanjun is Wanmei's maid. When the two families lived close together, aunt and Wanmei often went to Shen's house to play.At that time, the backyard of Shen's mansion was full of rose flowers, and my mother nailed the vines to the whitewashed wall with slender fence logs. In April and May, it was colorful and full of spring.Aunt and mother were warming wine and making tea under the flower wall, Aqi chased Yanjun to laugh and play, Wanmei told herself some interesting things she heard, who was the most beautiful lady in the state capital, who was the most handsome boy, Blushing, she only agreed to be good sisters in this life.

Later, when her mother died of illness and her uncle moved away, her chances of seeing Wanmei and her aunt were few and far between.The father wanted to give himself to the half-dead son, but it was the aunt who tried her best to send the news into the backyard, so that she could take the lead.

But who knows...

Unknowingly, she pinched the railing in her hand fiercely, only feeling that the fog in the night was getting thicker.The moonlight shrouded the entire county, and midnight had passed, only the intermittent yelling of watchmen on the street outside.The whole small town fell into a dreamland, so quiet and beautiful, but her aunt and sister Wan could no longer see the beauty of this beautiful day.

There is a crazy voice in my heart shouting, go!Go to be an official in Yingzhou!But rationality told her that not only would it be useless, but if she met her father again, she would put herself in it.

But the truth?
This family extermination case is just a temporary talk, if it has not been solved, it will only slowly become indifferent in the mouths of the world.People only care about which building has a new beautiful girl, and which son has married a new concubine.

Who cares about the lives of the thirty or so people besides myself?

Yayoi's eyes dimmed bit by bit.

She silently counted the time until the end of the year and sighed.

There are not a few days left, she can afford to wait.

The mist gradually lifted, and the entire southern town was shrouded in water vapor, and the dew was heavy late at night, revealing a hazy brilliance.

The night was uneventful.At dawn, Aqi went out of the Zhou Mansion to find Dr. Wang, while Yayoi went to Pingting Courtyard to see Zhou Yanyan's condition.

She stayed in Yingluo Pavilion last night, just to climb up and see the movement in Pingting Courtyard.No one made a small move all night, everyone served Zhou Yanyan who was in a coma wholeheartedly, and there were no unexpected visitors.

Today, there is an extra maidservant in Pingting Courtyard, it is Dongqing who came home on leave yesterday.

She looks very cute, with a round face and round eyes, and two small canine teeth.Knowing that the lady fell down the stairs and was unconscious, her anxiety and insecurity were written all over her face, which contrasted sharply with the calm and calm Lianqiao.

She wasn't in the mansion yesterday, so Yayoi naturally didn't expect to get any clues from her, but just asked casually: "Recently, does Lianqiao often give your lady a tranquilizer?"

Dongqing frowned and turned her head to think about it, then shook her head again and again, "No! Sister Lianqiao is with me every day, if she goes to the kitchen, I will definitely know!"

"Hmm..." Yayoi nodded.

"Unless," Dongqing suddenly added, "unless I leave the house or go home!"

"Do you often go out or go home?" Yayoi stared.

"My mother is not in good health, so I have to go back to see her often. I am more familiar with the outside of the house. Sometimes the lady always asks me to go out and buy some jewelry." Holly nodded.

"I see." Yayoi pursed her lips, "Go and take care of your young lady."

Holly ran away immediately.

At this moment, Ah Qi led Dr. Wang into the Pingting Courtyard.Doctor Wang runs a pharmacy and is the most skilled doctor in Fuliang County.Yayoi has always respected him very much, and asked after a few polite words: "Doctor Wang, does this lantana flower have a sleeping effect when used as medicine?"

Doctor Wang nodded, "If it is decocted with cinnamon, coptis and Shouwu vine, you can sleep peacefully."

"Is there any other use for the lantana tree?" Yayoi's cold eyes flashed the hesitant face of Forsythia again.That kind of concealment, as if she was afraid that she wouldn't see it, the acting was too much!

"The lantana tree..." Dr. Wang stroked his beard and thought for a moment, "Its bark is used as medicine, and it is a good abortion medicine."

Ah Qi's eyes widened at the side, and she turned to look at her own lady, but she seemed to have expected it a long time ago, she still had that calm look, and thanked Doctor Wang: "So, I understand, thank you, Doctor."

"Miss!" After Doctor Wang left, Aqi asked her anxiously, "What does this abortion pill, sleeping pills have to do with Miss Tuesday falling downstairs?!"

"Ah Qi," Yayoi sighed, "I'm afraid we'll have to go find Lord Duan again."
