Chapter 76 Four and incense 16(2/2)

Bo Ruoyou couldn't help but say, "But the Marquis was Mu Xiu yesterday-"

The ordinary official Mu Xiu really didn't ask about the affairs of the yamen in the mansion. However, Ning Xiao said a little depressedly: "The Marquis has never been Mu Xiu, and I don't know what happened yesterday..."

This sentence surprised Bo Ruoyou. She wanted to ask again, but Ning Xiao had a cold face. It was not easy to speak. She swallowed the words she was about to say. Ning Xiao said ly: "Prepare to prepare, bring the autopsy object with us, and we go to the Xu family."

Bo Ruoyou said: "The Feng family members are still in the future."

Ning Xiao shook his head, "Let me find two yamen servants and wait for her to come and ask about the matter related to the Li family's son. The person you saw that day had already understood, so there was no need to wait for her."

Bo Ruoyou and Wu Xiang both responded, and the group left the yamen shortly after.

As a member of the Ministry of Personnel, Xu Kang was not at a high or low position, but he was under the supervision of the embroidered emblem. Ning Xiao obviously knew this person and did not need to inquire, so he knew where the Xu family was. He led the way and the group went straight to Yongdingfang southwest of the city.

Yongkangfang and Yongdingfang are very close to each other, both in the south of the city, but Yongdingfang is mostly private houses and close to Yujie, which is a little richer. When the group stopped outside the Xu family's gate, they only saw a high-rise official house.

The embroidered clothes call the door. The doorman opened the door and recognized the official uniform of the embroidered clothes at a glance. His expression changed slightly. An embroidered clothes said in front of him: "The embroidered clothes directly handles the case, and let your master come to welcome him--"

The concierge was so scared that his face turned pale, "Old... the master went to the yamen..."

Ning Xiao stepped forward and pushed the door open, "Then ask your wife to come out and ask questions."

The concierge Nono responded, turned around and ran away quickly.

Ning Xiao led everyone into the door and stood in front of the screen wall. The Xu family's mansion was quite old. Because of its excellent maintenance, the yard was exquisite and neat, and it showed the foundation that only aristocratic family had. After Ning Xiao looked at it for a moment, a woman in a gorgeous costume walked out from behind with a group of maids.

The woman in charge was Mrs. Xu, who was about thirty years old, dressed in beautiful clothes and makeup. When she saw Ning Xiao, she looked a little nervous. When she saw Bo Ruoyou, she was slightly stunned. An embroidered man said, "This is our direct commander."

Mrs. Xu quickly became lucky, "I'm greeting the deputy commander, why did you come to the door? Could it be our master..."

Mrs. Xu seemed to think Xu Kang had committed a crime, but Ning Xiao frowned and asked, "Your lady in your house just passed away, right?"

Mrs. Xu raised her head in surprise, "It's... I died of illness after the New Year."

Ning Xiao asked with a question, "Did he really die of illness?"

Mrs. Xu said bitterly: "Of course it's true."

Ning Xiao asked, "When he died of illness, which doctor was he invited?"

At this point, Mrs. Xu shook her head, "I have never invited a doctor. Wanshu has been sick since she was a child. She has felt a little unable to get through winter these years. She has been through it before, but this time she has not survived it. She looked good on the face of the days she passed away. But suddenly it was wrong that night. The person who served her had not noticed it. When she found it wrong in the morning, she was already angry, so we did not invite a doctor."

"You mean... she had a serious illness, but on the day she died of a serious illness?" Ning Xiao looked at Mrs. Xu coldly.

Mrs. Xu nodded, "It's true." After a pause, she said, "It was as expected that she died of illness. Somehow, she alarmed the Zhiguansi? The master went to the yamen and did not return. The commander first came into the room and sat down for a cup of tea."

Ning Xiao walked in, and Bo Ruoyou followed behind. As soon as he walked around the screen wall, he saw the silver-red lantern hanging on the corridor. Not far away, a maid looked here, as if he was surprised by the embroidered clothes coming to the mansion. Bo Ruoyou looked at the faces of those people, but most of them were excited to watch the excitement.

Bo Ruoyou felt something strange. Not long after Xu Wanshu died, the red lanterns were hung high in the mansion, and the servants were all excited. Mrs. Xu mentioned that her daughter died of illness and was not sad. She also said that it was as expected that Xu Wanshu died of illness, but she did not even ask for a doctor. She had many questions. Bo Ruoyou felt that Xu Wanshu died even more.

The group had just walked not far away, but suddenly saw a cat jumping out of the flowerbed beside it. It was a snow-white little white cat. It looked like it was a domestic rather than a wild cat. Ning Xiao stopped and Bo Ruoyou also stopped. The cat jumped past them. Before they said anything, a boy of five or six years old also jumped out of the flowerbed.

"Catch it! Grab it quickly-"

The boy was holding a rattan stick in his hand, looking angry. The two servants behind him rushed out, but they didn't expect to run into so many people and stayed silent all of a sudden.

Mrs. Xu's expression changed, "Yan'er, what are you doing? A guest is coming to your house, and you are not going back to the inner courtyard yet?"

The young master of the Xu family raised his eyebrows, "Mother, the cat has grabbed my clothes and I want to kill it. It turns out that it was raised by the sick seedlings. It is not a good thing like the sick seedlings!"

Mrs. Xu almost went up to cover his mouth. She glared at the two servants for a moment, "What are you doing when you stand there? Why don't you take him back?"

The two servants came to their senses and quickly picked up the person, turned around and walked quickly.

The young master of the Xu family screamed, and Mrs. Xu smiled bitterly, "The dog is young and has a strong stubborn person. It makes the adults laugh. Please come in there—"

Ning Xiao went to the main hall with a expressionless face. When he arrived at the main hall, Ning Xiao asked, "The sick girl mentioned by the young master just now is the eldest lady in the house?"

Mrs. Xu smiled bitterly for a moment, "They have a good relationship with each other, but Yan'er is used to being young..."

If a person is still alive, he can still be said to be neither big nor small, and he is still called this when he dies, and he is quite disgusted with Xu Wanshu in his words. How can he tell that his relationship is good?

Mrs. Xu diligently ordered someone to send refreshments. Ning Xiao looked at her for a moment, "Since that's the case, let's wait for Lord Xu to come back."

Mrs. Xu immediately said, "Sir, I'll ask you to invite the master back later."

Ning Xiao raised his hand, "No need, just let the embroidered clothes go, and Mrs. Xu just sit here and wait with us."

Mrs. Xu was about to take her footsteps and suddenly walked out. A garment robber at the door turned around and walked out. Mrs. Xu smiled forcibly, turned around and sat stiffly on the chair. She was a woman, and there was nothing to say to Ning Xiao. Moreover, Ning Xiao had a cold face and was quite forced. At this time, Bo Ruoyou suddenly asked, "Madam, is the eldest lady in the house the wife who comes out?"

This statement made Mrs. Xu's face even more red, "No...no, I'm the master..."

There is nothing to hide about this matter. You can ask a servant just by asking it. Therefore, Mrs. Xu also answered very neatly. Bo Ruoyou nodded and stopped asking, but she understood it in her heart.

Ning Xiao said that waiting is really waiting. After all, Mrs. Xu is a woman from the inner hut. He directly used the deterrent method of the Si to be more useful to Xu Kangwei. Instead of playing Tai Chi with this Mrs. Xu, it would be better to wait for Xu Kangwei to come back.

It took at least half an hour to go to the embroidered clothes. Ning Xiao was ready to drink two more cups of tea, but he didn't expect that the embroidered clothes would come back after a moment. Ning Xiao frowned and wanted to ask when he saw his figure, but before he could say anything, he stood up first because he saw the person who shouldn't have appeared here.

"Why is the Marquis coming?!"

Bo Ruoyou was pondering the inside story of Xu Wanshu's death. Before she noticed the embroidered emblem back, she turned her eyes and saw Huo Weilou strode towards her. She stood up in shock and couldn't help but take a step towards the hall door.

Huo Weilou strode into the hall door. Behind him, a middle-aged man with a cold sweat on his face was followed. It was Xu Kangwei, who was going to invite him. Huo Weilou glanced over Bo Ruoyou and said, "I'll come here after you get the news you sent back. Lord Xu also went to invite him at the same time, but he happened to meet him at the door."

Lan Zhengfang is quite far away from here. In this way, Huo Weilou came here almost as soon as he heard the message. Ning Xiao asked Huo Weilou to let him go aside. He had not yet come back to his senses. When he turned his eyes, he saw Bo Ruoyou who was a little surprised. Ning Xiao frowned, and a thought that made him unacceptable appeared.

When Huo Weilou entered the door, he saw a surprise in Bo Ruoyou's eyes. When he sat down, the bright light in Bo Ruoyou's eyes had not yet faded. The corners of his lips were curved and he had just met her eyes for a moment before he began to ask questions.
