Duan Zhen'er saw that the person stopped moving, tears of excitement flowed down her face, she ran towards her while shouting, and when she came to the entrance of the alley, she found that the tall horse was sitting on a girl of the same age as herself, not a man at all, but now she couldn't care so much, grabbed the horse's halter and pointed behind her, "Girl, someone is not a person, it's a monster, there is a monster in this alley, and it wants to arrest me." ” The woman in red poked out behind her, "Monsters?
In broad daylight, where are there any monsters, is the girl blind?
” When Duan Zhen'er heard her say this, she quickly turned her head, she saw that there was nothing in the narrow alley, only a white light appeared at the end, and the thing that followed disappeared, it was so fast that the woman in red didn't see it.
"It's gone?
But just now, it really followed behind me, and it also pulled off a strand of my hair" Duan Zhen'er touched her head, and the faint pain in the upper right seemed to remind her that the nightmarish horror experience just now had really happened, not her imagination.
The woman in red then jumped down from her horse and rushed behind her and said, "My lord, this girl said that someone was chasing her in this alley just now, but this place is empty, and I really don't see anything strange. ” Duan Zhen'er only now noticed that the woman in red was still followed by a carriage, she looked for prestige, and saw a round and chubby little head sticking out of the door curtain, and the four eyes were paired, and the two of them exclaimed at the same time.
"Auntie."
"Xun'er."
Xun'er lifted the curtain, climbed out of the carriage by herself, came to Duan Zhen'er's side, and hugged her waist, "Auntie, Xun'er thinks so hard about you, why don't you come to Xin'an to find me, did you forget Xun'er." ” It turned out that this Zhen'er was Mrs.
Cheng's youngest sister, Jiang Xixi had only met her a few times, and with the passage of time, Duan Zhen'er had also transformed from that yellow-haired girl into a slim young woman, and she had long since recognized her appearance.
But Xun'er is different, every year, he has to go to Song's house to live for a while, Duan Zhen'er can't go out according to his father's order, so he plays with him all day long, plus he is the only child left by her eldest sister, so he loves him very much, and the relationship between the two is much deeper than others.
When she was in the carriage just now, Xun'er felt that the voice was familiar, and when she opened the curtain, she really loved her aunt, and the two naturally saw each other very happily, and Duan Zhen'er completely forgot what happened just now.
Cheng Muyou also got out of the carriage and walked to Song Zhen'er's side, but he and her were not as familiar as Xun'er, so after saying hello, he took a closer look at the alley behind her, "Zhen'er, why are you leaving the main road and going to this alley?"
” Duan Zhen'er was poked in the sore spot, and she blushed for a long time before she explained the ins and outs of the matter.
Xun'er stood aside and shaved her face, "Auntie, you have grown so big, why are you more afraid of your father than me, it's really embarrassing." ” Duan Zhen'er grimaced at him, and suddenly raised her eyebrows, "No wonder my father said early in the morning that a distinguished guest was coming, it turned out that this distinguished guest was your brother-in-law." ” Cheng Muyou shook his head and smiled, "It's a pity that it disturbed your plans, Zhen'er, are you going to go back with us now or do you want to continue to escape?"
” At the end of the banquet, the maids removed the tableware, replaced them with tea and fruits, and left at the signal of Duan Zhixing, leaving him and Cheng Muyou alone to sit in the courtyard and talk and talk to each other.
The breeze blew and the fragrance of flowers was sent, Cheng Muyou raised his head and sniffed a few times, and said to Duan Zhixing with a smile, "Over the years, Yuchunlin's business has become bigger and bigger, and I have seen several shops in Xin'an City, and the guests are full of guests, and they are very prosperous. ” Duan Zhixing shook his head, "It's a pity that I'm old and have no children under my knees, and sometimes when I think about the future, I feel a little worried." ” "Zhen'er is also getting old, why don't father-in-law choose a family business for her, in this way, there are many people to help you."
Duan Zhixing was stunned for a moment, and then said: "She just turned sixteen years old, let's stay at home for two more years before leaving the cabinet." ” Cheng Muyou saw that his expression was gloomy, and his heart was not very comfortable, but he still had to persuade him, after all, he had already agreed to Duan Zhen'er today.
"I know you still can't let go of that incident, but after so many years, you can't always let the dead bind the living, I think Zhen'er is a smart and clever person, if she learns to do business with you, maybe she will be able to help in the future."
Duan Zhixing's face changed slightly, "To do business, you have to show up, in case she is targeted by a bad person, who will take the responsibility?"
Speaking of this, his eyes turned red, the teacup in his hand trembled a few times, and fell on the table with a "pop", "Virtuous son-in-law, it's not that you don't know my thoughts, but you definitely can't empathize, the pain of losing a daughter, unlike other diseases, will heal more and more with the passage of time, but it will become more and more rotten and bigger, and become a sore that cannot be touched at all."
I also knew that I was a little too nervous about Zhen'er, but I couldn't control myself, maybe one day I kicked my legs and passed, and both of us would be relieved. ” Cheng Muyou stood up and bowed deeply to Duan Zhixing, "Lord Yue, I came to Bianliang this time to heal this sore in your heart. ” Duan Zhixing was stunned, "I know that you have excellent medical skills, but how can there be medicine to cure heart disease?"
” "The reason why you are depressed and take care of Zhen'er in every way is because the murderer who killed Yu'er was not caught, if the murderer is brought to justice, it must be able to end your heart for many years."
He paused for a moment, "I won't tell you, there was a case in Xin'an City recently, and the deceased looked very similar to Yu'er back then, I want to take this opportunity to catch the suspect and avenge Yu'er." ” Duan Zhixing stood up tremblingly, he grabbed Cheng Muyou's arm, "Virtuous son-in-law, you mean, you want to re-investigate Yu'er's case?"
But back then, Kaifeng Mansion investigated for several months, and did not catch the real culprit who killed Yu'er, and now nearly six years have passed, and the evidence has long been annihilated, how do you solve this case. ” Cheng Muyou's expression was firm, "I don't know what the final result will be, but I must give it a try, now, please tell me all the causes and consequences of the matter carefully and carefully." ” Duan Zhixing wiped away his old tears, "Six years ago, Yu'er and Zhen'er were about the same age now, that is, when they were just entering the summer, one day, she went to find her sister, that is, your wife. ”
