Chapter 19: Questioning


"Don't dare to hide it, my wife and I have indeed never met, I am from Cheng Mansion, but when I arrived at Cheng Mansion, my wife was already immortal."

He Xu laughed twice, "It turns out that you are from the Cheng family, then do you know that in this world, what I hate the most is the people of the Cheng family," he walked to the door and pushed the door open, "I don't welcome the people of the Cheng Mansion here, while I haven't gotten angry yet, you better hurry up, I have nothing to say to the Cheng family." ” Jiang Xixi didn't stand still, she looked at He Xu, "As soon as the adults heard that I was Madame's friend, they let me enter the mansion, which shows that the relationship between the adults and Madame is very deep." ” He Xu grabbed the door frame violently and turned his head viciously, "What do you mean by that?"

” "It's not interesting, since I dare to ask adults face to face, I just want a clear answer, and when things are clear, I can feel at ease."

He Xu strode up to her, "What does it have to do with me if you are at ease?"

What obligation do I have to comfort you, I don't like to quarrel with women, so if you know each other, let's leave quickly. ” Jiang Xixi pursed her lips and raised her head high, "I, you don't have to think about it, but since Mrs. has married into the Cheng family, she is a member of the Cheng family, and this matter is related to her reputation, don't you think about her?"

” "Are you suspecting that Shuyuan is having an affair with me?"

He Xu was furious, waved his hand and swept down the tea set on the table, the teapot and cup shattered to the ground, and the sound brought in the guards guarding outside.

"My lord, what's the matter?"

The guards were all a little panicked when they saw the tense scene in the house.

He Xu took a few deep breaths and forced himself to stabilize his mind, "It's okay, you guys go out first, I still have something to say to this girl." ” Several guards saw his firm tone, you look at me, I look at you, and slowly retreated outside the house.

Seeing that the door was closed, He Xu clenched his fists and walked to Jiang Xixi's side, he stared at her face, his muscles were trembling slightly, and the scar on his face was a little fierce, he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "I only say this, I am innocent between me and Shuyuan, whether you believe it or not, I don't care at all, but since you are from Chengfu, then don't step into my mansion in the future, I am dirty." ” After speaking, he still stared at Jiang Xixi, motionless.

Although Jiang Xixi was angry, she had already gotten the answer she wanted, and the goal was achieved, so she temporarily endured the fire, turned around and walked towards the door, until she walked outside the general's mansion, she took a "bah" mouthful, "What's the big deal, you speak so politely, you think I'm dirty, I still think you think about you" After thinking for a long time, she didn't find anything wrong with He Xu, so she had to stare at the plaque on the door, and walked down the steps angrily.

Halfway through, she stopped, "No, since there is nothing between him and his wife, then why does he hate the people of Cheng Mansion so much?"

Even her, a girl who has never met before, hated her, judging from his appearance, he must be in love with his wife, is it because the adults took away his love, so he is jealous until now?

” Jiang Xixi shook his head, "This He Xu is really a strange person, for the sake of his wife, not only has he not married a wife until now, but he has also formed a feud with the Cheng family, and I don't know whether to call him infatuated or paranoid."

She sighed and walked forward, but the steps were much brisker, at least there was nothing between He Xu and Mrs., knowing this, she let go of the heart that had been hanging for a few days, she was happy for the adult, happy for the lady, and happy for Xun'er, she exhaled deeply, and walked forward in a hurry, not noticing that a person in military uniform hurriedly passed her along the path, running in the direction of the general's mansion.

He Xu stared at the broken porcelain all over the ground in a daze, remembering the first encounter that year, she was wearing a dark smoke-colored peony flower skirt, holding an oil-paper umbrella and walking slowly from the rain and fog, which was not as beautiful as a real person.

He looked around blankly, not knowing where he was for a moment.

A beam of light from the window fell to the ground, turning into a round, bright circle of light.

He seemed to see her in that aperture, and stretched out his hand to her tremblingly, "Shuyuan, I said that if you get married, I will let go, as long as you are happy, I will be fine, but," he slowly raised his head, and put his five fingers together, "But, if someone bullies you, if you are not doing well, I will definitely take you away, I swore that I will take you away."

But Shuyuan, why didn't you even give me the chance to take you away, do you know, you are so ruthless, but I have to spend my whole life repenting, regretting why I didn't forcibly take you away from Chengfu in the first place.

He lowered his head, his voice gradually choked, "I really regret it, why didn't I take you away at that time, I hate myself so much" There was a hurried knock on the door outside, pulling He Xu out of the painful memories, and he cleared his throat, "What's the matter?"

” "My lord, there is a dead chamberlain in the palace, do you want to go over and see for yourself?"

The body of the boy was found on Xinggang, a small dirt slope with its back against the palace wall, which was covered with apricot trees, hence the name.

The boy lay down under an apricot tree, his stomach covered with blood and flesh, and his intestines flowed all over the ground.

"When was he discovered?"

He Xu flipped under the corpse and asked Li Hong, who was standing aside.

"General Qiyu, he was found by the palace maid here at noon today, the palace maid saw the dead person for the first time, and she was scared like something, her subordinates asked her for an hour, she still talked nonsense, and she didn't say anything."

He Xu nodded, "Don't force her, she should just pass by occasionally, that's why she is scared like this," he looked around, "There is not much blood here, I think, it must not be the first scene of the murder, Li Hong, you look around to see if the murderer has left any clues, such as footprints or others." ” Li Hongde ordered to go down, He Xu squatted down beside Tong Qi, locked his eyebrows and pondered: The day before yesterday, there were just thieves in the palace, and now someone is dead, and I don't know if these two things have anything to do with it, if there is, this matter is not so simple, it is better to explain the situation to the above, so as not to cause a bigger mess in the future.

While thinking, his eyes glanced to the side casually, and he was attracted by the not-so-obvious mark under the apricot tree, which was boxy and had been trampled by the soldiers who came and went, but He Xu still recognized it at a glance, this mark was not exactly the same as the mark he saw on the stone mountain the night before.

He walked over to it, looked left and right, and sure enough, there was more than one mark, and although some of them had been smoothed by the footsteps of people coming and going, he could still tell that it had come all the way down the mountain.
