Chapter 22
Out of the study room, Yao Chu and Mu Qingyi walked down the corridor: "Chu Xin, what do you think we should do now?" Luo Ye Zhuang had a sudden change, Xiao Yucheng and Chai Wenfei looked like they were going to die, and now there are more of them. A Xia who doesn't know whether he is an enemy or a friend is OK.For a moment, Mu Qingyi really lost her reverse.
Yao Chu made up his mind. "Don't say anything, don't say anything based on the current situation of the two of them, so as not to startle the snake. I have been observing him for a long time, and I haven't found anything unusual for the time being. In addition, he gave his life to save Caimen before. I really can't see through it. His purpose. We just need to be more on guard against him. The most important thing now is how to get them to talk, even if it’s crying.” No matter what Xia Yike’s purpose is, judging from the way he looks at Caimen, it’s not obvious. It seems to be fake, if you are true to Caimen, you will not make trouble at this time, I hope you will not disappoint my trust.
Seeing that Yao Chu was deep in thought, Mu Qingyi didn't bother her, so she grabbed a girl and said, "I'm going to order some porridge and side dishes, and remember to bring the eggplants that Sister Huaqian sent. By the way, let's go first." Use the fermented glutinous rice that Mrs. Xiao sent before to make two bowls of sweet wine according to the taste of Mr. Xiao and Mr. Chai, and bring them to the west chamber."
"Yiyi, you..." Yao Chu worried.
"It's alright, I'm on my own."
Mu Qingyi took the sweet wine from the girl, stirred it with a spoon, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Are you ready for the porridge and side dishes?"
"It's already prepared."
"Okay, you go, stand far away at the door of the west wing, I wave to you, you just bring it over."
"Yes, ma'am."
Mu Qingyi carried sweet wine into the west chamber, while Xiao Yuqiang and Chai Wenfei still sat there motionless, their faces were bearded and haggard, and the skirts of their clothes were covered with dried tears and burnt wood ash.Yao Chu and Xia Ke also stood aside helplessly.
"You two go out first." Mu Qingyi said to Yao Chu and Xia Yeke. "Take it to the door."
Seeing that there were only three of them in the room, Mu Qingyi put the sweet wine in front of the two of them respectively, took a big breath, and said slowly:
"Mrs. Xiao said that you like to eat sweet wine made by herself. A few days ago, she sent a big jar over here. Smell it, does it taste that way?"
"Ms. Xiao said, these two children are used to Hu Dahai. They always go to other people's houses to eat and drink. When they come back, they still dislike the food made by others. Why don't they just give you a jar? Don't be a joke. Shabby."
"Master Xiao said, Yiyi, this child is spoiled by me. In fact, he is not bad at heart. Let him be your servant and girl from today. You can teach him well. If he is disobedient, Tell me, I'll hit him."
"Sister Huaqian said, Young Master Fei is whimsical all day long. Some time ago, he wanted to eat eggplant. He had never heard of it. I don't know where I read it. He pestered me to make it for him every day. , just started the altar. Madam tasted it and said it tastes good, so let me send you a jar."
"Butler Zhou said that those two troublemakers went up the tree to dig out bird eggs. When I was passing by, one of the bird eggs fell on my head. I didn't wash it clean for a long time."
"Sister Lingxi said..."
"Enough! Don't say it, don't say it." Chai Wenfei knelt down in front of Xiao Yuchen with tears on his face, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! It's all my fault, it's all my fault. If it wasn't for me, I would have died at that time , you won’t mess with Luoye Village and Chai’s family, it’s all me and all me.”
Xiao Yucheng's front was already soaked, he grabbed the clothes on Chai Wenfei's chest, punched Chai Wenfei on the cheek, and said through gritted teeth, "Yes, it's all because of you! If you hadn't come to my house, if you had died in Chai's house In the fire, if you had died on the way to Dongdu, my father and mother would still be alive. They could see me get married, see my achievements, and be able to make grandchildren. It’s all about you It's you……"
Xiao Yucheng let go of Chai Wenfei, he knew that this was a crime of intent.He didn't know who the murderer was, and he didn't know who to blame. If he hadn't gone to Dongdu, if he had been at home, would his parents still be there? He didn't dare to think.
The two knelt on the ground tremblingly, picked up the sweet wine, and put it into their mouths spoonful by spoonful.Crying heart-piercingly, heartbroken, for a long, long time.
"Uncle and aunt, sister Huaqian, who is the murderer?" Chai Wenfei sobbed with his eyes swollen, and drank sweet wine in one gulp, thinking that it was the most delicious thing he had ever eaten in his life.
Mu Qingyi said: "I don't have a clue yet, but after the autopsy in the past two days, they can be buried in the ground."
"Yiyi, I'm hungry." Hearing this, Xiao Yuchang also put down the empty bowl.Wipe across the cheek with the sleeve sideways, leaving a black mark.
"it is good."
Mu Qingyi opened the door and waved to the courtyard door, and the girl brought the prepared porridge and side dishes.
"I haven't eaten for a few days, let's have some porridge first."
With tears in their eyes, the two of them put the eggplant into their mouths one mouthful at a time.
On August [-]th, Xiao Yanxi and Mrs. Xiao were buried together in the ancestral grave of the Xiao family. The crowd had dispersed, leaving only Xiao Yucheng and Chai Wenfei kneeling in front of the tomb, and Yao Chu, Mu Qingyi, and Xia Ke standing aside.
After crying and fussing a few days ago, Xiao Yuchang returned to his dull look, his unfocused eyes always stared blankly into the distance, calling him to respond, as if he no longer knew the meaning of his existence.
The pampered master returned home happily, thinking about the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, but unexpectedly, the last time he said goodbye was a farewell forever.The formerly warm home turned into ruins, and he suddenly discovered that without his parents, he seemed to have lost the meaning of existence.He stared at the tombstone, his heart was in a mess, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't even know what to do in the future.
Chai Wenfei looked at the sky, the sky was as blue as washed, the sun was shining brightly, and the sky was bright and bright, and there was a gloomy cloud.He has never hated the cloudless sky as much as he does now.The dazzling sun seemed to be mocking the Xiao family's departure.In this world, Chai Wenfei treats the Xiao family and his wife as his own parents. They give him the warmth of his family and the joy of his youth.But now, they are lying in the cold coffin, and they don't even know who the murderer is.
Suddenly, Chai Wenfei kowtowed three times, and took out a pair of blood jade waist buttons from his shirt, one carved with exquisite peony flowers, and the other carved with a lifelike unicorn.Kneeling a few steps forward, he put his waist buckle on the stone case in front of the tomb, stroked the tombstone lightly, and said with a smile: "Auntie, look, isn't this peony carved beautifully? Look at the color of this jade, is it Doesn’t it match your gold-sprinkled dress? Uncle, don’t be shy, I bought it specially for a couple. You and your aunt are a pair. Don’t say anything that old couples can’t use. If you say old couples and old wives, you can’t use a pair of decorations.” Touching the tombstone, Chai Wenfei seemed to have found the belief in life, and said in his heart: Uncle and aunt, don’t worry, I will definitely guard the box well, and I will take care of you Watching him get married, watching him become famous, watching his children and grandchildren.I will definitely protect him with my whole life!
Ji Guqiong, who hadn't shown up for a long time, stood beside Xia Yike at some point, and after whispering a few words, Xia Yike walked to the tomb, bowed deeply, and said: "The matter of uncle and aunt has some clues." .”
As if he had caught a life-saving straw, Xiao Yucheng suddenly turned his head to look at Xia Yike, his confused eyes lit up a little.
"We'll talk about it when we go back." Xia Yike said.
