Xun'er's tears finally stopped, and he looked at Yan Niang, "You mean, I don't have to be responsible for Chang Zhusi's death?"
” Yan Niang looked out the window, her voice getting deeper and lower, "You can regret it, even if you regret it so much that you can't sleep peacefully, but you don't need to be responsible for this matter, it is the murderer who killed them."
Remember, these people have no heart, their hands are bloody, but they don't have the slightest remorse, so don't let remorse bind you, you have to pull the murderer out of the crowd and bring the dead soul to justice. ” Seeing her firmness, Xun'er couldn't help but wonder, "Yan Niang, have you ever regretted it?"
” Yan Niang looked at him, revealing a lonely smile, and her tone was unhurried, "I once regretted that I wanted heaven and earth to be destroyed with me, but in the end, I realized that this was just a breath for myself, neither punishing the murderer nor appeasing the undead, in vain, but ended up with a scar." ” "What makes you regret it so much?"
Xun'er seemed to have forgotten about herself, and tilted her head to find out the bottom of it.
Just as he was saying this, Jiang Xixi lifted the curtain and walked in, "Xun'er, why are you here, I've been looking for you for a long time, your father asked you to go back, he has something to ask you." ” As soon as the matchmaker left, Pei Ran jumped up, he took Pei Fei's hand, "Little sister, he agreed, Yu'er and her father agreed, I didn't have any hope, our father and mother died early, and the family background is not rich, I thought Uncle Xie would refuse, and I worried in vain for several days." ” Pei Fei was just about to say some words of congratulations and congratulations, but Pei Ran took the lead, "That's right, I have to buy some gifts and send them to the Xie family, since Yu'er has promised to be my daughter-in-law, the matter of etiquette is not sloppy at all." ” After speaking, he hurriedly went out, leaving Pei Fei, who couldn't say half a word, standing there alone, pulling out a helpless smile from the corner of his mouth.
Pei Fei came to the silk shop first to pick up materials, Yu'er has no mother since she was a child, and his parents are not there, so this matter of making new clothes naturally falls on him.
He hesitated for a long time in the Xia pink and lake blue materials, but he still didn't make up his mind which one to buy, although the pink was festive, it did not conform to Yu'er's temperament, but this lake blue satin, which looked cold and clean, had a taste that could not be blasphemed in it.
Just wanted the boss to take the satin to himself, but his body was slammed open, Pei Ran raised his head and saw a few people who looked like small guys crowded to the counter, the posture was not like buying something, but like preparing to fight with someone.
They were followed by a burly man, in his mid-thirties, his eyebrows raised high towards his sideburns, his face full of arrogance, his neck slightly strained, as if he would not bend, and he was always staring at others in a lofty manner.
The shopkeeper saw the man step into the door and hurriedly greeted him from behind the counter, with a smile on his face, filling every inch of wrinkles, "Lord Qin, why did you come in person, and you didn't send someone to say it in advance, I cleaned up the field, and these idle people in the province have polluted your eyes." ” Pei Ran suddenly realized that the "idle person" in his mouth was himself, and he just wanted to say a few words, but he was pressed back with his eyes by the little guy who knocked him down next to him, and he endured a wave of anger, after all, his status is humble, just an ant that anyone can trample to death, and more importantly, he is about to get married, and he is married to the person he has been thinking about since he was a child, so he can't destroy the common future of Yu'er and himself because of a momentary anger.
That Lord Qin didn't notice Pei Ran, he played with the jade wrench on his right hand, and gently bowed his head at a small guy beside him.
The little guy cleared his throat, and asked the shopkeeper, "Has the Hongli brocade that our master ordered last time arrived?"
” The shopkeeper smiled with him, "It's here, what you want, how dare I slack off, it arrived the day before yesterday, I'll put it in the inner room, I'm afraid of taking it out to attract ashes, you wait, I'll take it out for you."
With that, he lifted the curtain and walked into the inner room, and after a while, he reported a velvet box to come out, and gently opened the lid of the box in front of Lord Qin, "My lord, take a look, is it not to your liking." ” The piece of satin in the box is as smooth as water lines, as if it is free from the living life, thin but not transparent, gaudy but not vulgar, as if condensing the most gentle charm of a woman.
Pei Ran stared at it, and suddenly felt sad in his heart: only such a satin can be worthy of his jade, but with his current situation, it is simply a fool's dream to buy such a piece of satin.
Lord Qin has seen a lot in the world, seeing the silk, he didn't say he liked it or didn't like it, he glanced at the little guy again, the little guy nodded knowingly, took out two silver ingots and slapped them on the counter, held the box in his hand, and the group walked out of the silk shop, turned over a few horses waiting at the door, and galloped towards South Street.
When the shopkeeper saw that they were far away, he took the two silver ingots in his hand and checked them, pouted and sighed, "It's good to have money, in order to please a Qinglou woman, you can afford to spend so much money." ” Pei Ran couldn't get used to his appearance of stepping on high and low, so he got up and wanted to go out, but he didn't think that the shopkeeper would catch up, "This son, I offended a lot just now, you don't remember the villain, don't take it to heart." ” Pei Ran glared at him, but he still insisted on leaving, but the shopkeeper stretched out his arm to block his way, "Don't you know, just now that is the son-in-law of Lord Shi Zhang, Qin Xiaowei, where do I offend this kind of petty business, come, you see, I fell in love with that satin just now, I will give you a cheaper price, and you will be satisfied with the price." ” Outside the house is full of onlookers, as the saying goes, good things don't go out and bad things spread thousands of miles, this kind of bloody and bizarre serious case, it was spread in less than a day, and everyone in Xin'an City was known.
Some people say that Chang Chunze offended a certain Luff while handling the case, so he used an axe to cut off all the heads of the husband and wife in the middle of the night.
Some people say that Mrs.
Chang was born amorous, although she has given birth to a child, but she always likes to show her shoulders and bare her arms, no, she must have been targeted by a wild man, sneaked into Chang Mansion in the middle of the night, raped him and stabbed him to death, fortunately Chang Yuan hid, so he did not fall into the poisonous hands of the wild man.
It's just that although the rumors are getting more and more evil, they are far less tragic than the actual situation, even if this group of long-tongued women use their own brains, I am afraid they can't imagine the tragic situation when the Chang couple died, for this, Yan Niang is quite confident, now, she is passing through the crowd, and she has walked up the steps of the Chang family in the eyes of everyone.
