The time on the road is always very short. Xu Shaoyin and his party quickly returned to the residence of Marquis of Anguo, and the carriage stopped at the gate.
For the first time, Xu Shaoyin didn't want to go in through the back door. She asked Muyun and Yuqing to jump down first. Then she jumped down from the wall of the carriage alone. She jumped out of the carriage and turned to see Xu Bo, the housekeeper who had not been seen for a long time, standing quietly at the gate, with some turbid eyes staring at her quietly, without saying a word.
"Miss, we..." Not only did Xu Shaoyin see it, but Muyun and Yuqing also saw it when they turned around. Yuqing stood beside him. Muyun took a look at the housekeeper, walked slowly to Xu Shaoyin and asked in a low voice.
"It's OK. You go first. Remember to go back and ask if anything strange happened in the yard today." He turned around and told the two maidservants a few words. Then he waved her hand to go ahead. Xu Shaoyin walked slowly to the housekeeper Xu Bo and said.
"Uncle Xu, you are standing here, but are you waiting for me?" Finish saying eyes to take to examine of looking at Xu Bo.
The housekeeper Xu Bo's wrinkled face was as brilliant as a chrysanthemum. He took a deep look at Xu Shaoyin. He pulled up her sleeve and walked towards the door. Xu Shaoyin just glanced at her quickly and pulled her Uncle Xu. Then he followed her without any resistance.
Somehow, it may be that all the maidservants in the mansion are busy today. Xu Shaoyin has never seen a maidservant all the way. However, she is sure that she has nothing to do, because she has determined that Xu Bo should be the one who wants to let her know the real reason for Yu Niang's death, and she is sure that Xu Bo will not hurt her.
Xu Shaoyin has no basis for the intuition of why Xu Bo won't hurt her, just relying on his own conjecture.
As the road gets farther and farther away, Xu Shaoyin slowly sees the courtyard hidden in the woods in front of him. Then she knows that Xu Bo wants to take himself to his courtyard.
Xu Bo didn't speak all the way, but when Xu Shaoyin crossed the threshold, he told her to pay attention to her feet. Into the interior, the layout of the room is no different from before, including the place that made me feel strange now. Looking at the place more, Xu Shaoyin found a chair and sat down next to the table.
"I don't know what's the matter with Uncle Xu. He is so anxious that he has to wait for me at the gate." With that, he felt thirsty unconsciously. He took the teapot from the small table next to him and poured a cup for himself. Then he handed another cup to Xu Bo. Then he sat down and drank it slowly.
"What do you think is the matter with me?" He took the teacup with a loving face. Xu Bo took a sip from the corner of his mouth. His eyes didn't move away from Xu Shaoyin from the beginning to the end. In his eyes, he looked at some things more pitifully than the last time, and some unspeakable feelings made people feel sad.
"I don't know about that. Why don't you tell me about it?" After blinking, Xu Shaoyin's eyes rolled around in his eyes. Then he stood up from the chair and went to the housekeeper Xu Bo. He took his arm and held it in his arms, just like a naughty young girl, playing tricks. "I don't care! Xu Bo, speak quickly, speak quickly! What on earth is it
It's still that kind of eyes, that wrinkled face, and that pair of hands holding him to buy sugar on the East Street. When he looked closer, he felt that his hands were black and thin. Even the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes were much more than when he was a child. Xu Shaoyin couldn't help but put his head in the arms of the housekeeper Xu Bo for a long time.
"You are so old now, and you are not afraid to be laughed at like other children!"
While joking, Xu Bo couldn't help rubbing Xu Shaoyin's hair when she was a child. Xu Bo likes to rub her hair most. Now she is treated like this. Xu Shaoyin only feels that her nose is more and more sour.
"What! I'm a child. Even if I'm a child, do you still love yin'er? "
Feigned displeasure pouted, Xu Shaoyin coquetry asked. After that, she stared at the housekeeper Xu Bo's eyes without blinking. As she imagined, Xu Bo was stunned when he heard the words. Then he took a deep look at Xu Shaoyin. Then he turned quickly. When he turned around, he was just calm.
"You are still as naughty as you were when you were a child!" Helpless smile, housekeeper Xu Bo a change just now loving appearance, eyes in a more fierce, in front of the expression also calm a lot, deep voice asked. "You were asked to take the mango back, now you should know those things?"
"What's the matter? You're talking about mangoes. I'll take them back and eat them. They're really sweet and sour. I don't know if there are any more mangoes here. Please give me some! "
Xu Shaoyin pretended to be puzzled and asked. When it comes to delicious food, the corners of his mouth can't help reaching out and wiping it, as if there was saliva left by salivation.
"Just keep being naughty. I don't believe you'll eat it. Even if you eat, Muyun and Yuqing are not vegetarians. I don't believe they didn't stop you. To be honest, how much do you know? " Xu Bo's voice is still very cold at this time, which is totally different from Xu Shaoyin's loving, good-natured and hungry Xu Bo."What does Uncle Xu want me to know?" In addition to the posture of just now, Xu Shaoyin is sitting lazily against the back of the chair, his eyes are all cold, his eyes sweep the direction of the door quickly, and then quickly take back, making a posture that he doesn't care about.
"I think Muyun and Yuqing should have told you everything!" Staring at Xu Shaoyin for a long time, the housekeeper Xu Bo said with a positive face, but before he finished speaking, Xu Shaoyin stood up and stretched out a finger to him and shook it gently in the air.
"My guess is wrong. Those two girls won my mango, but they didn't say anything. They just said that if they said my father would kill them, you know they were always timid. How could they disobey their father's orders?"
Xu Shaoyin seriously said, serious posture like two maidservants are really timid, but while saying these words against the heart, Xu Shaoyin secretly apologized to Muyun and Yuqing in his heart! She didn't mean it. She just wants to know what Xu Bo's real purpose is.
Seeing that Xu Bo didn't speak for a long time, Xu Shaoyin added a few words again and said coldly, "what's the father's temper? Xu Bo, if you have been around him for so long, you should also know. No one is afraid of her except her, so I really don't know." Speaking of this, Xu Shaoyin continued after a pause.
"Since Xu Bo has nothing to do and doesn't want to say, I won't keep it. I won't eat mango. When Xu Bo let me eat it, I'll eat it again." With that, he blinked at Xu Bo and turned to walk towards the door.
"Forget it! forget it! Now it doesn't matter whether what you say is true or false. Since you don't know, I'll tell you again. "
With a helpless sigh, Uncle Xu calls Xu Shaoyin and clears his throat. He begins to tell the story hidden in everyone's heart for more than ten years.
Xu Bo's talk is much more detailed than Muyun's. Muyun only says that mangoes appeared many times in this house, but they were secretly dealt with by his father Xu Li.
Finally, even in the capital, there were many mango sellers in the western regions. The angry father went to the official in charge of trade and banned everyone from selling mangoes in the capital. He got a positive answer and came back.
Moreover, the most important thing is that Xu Li, Marquis of the state of an, is actually investigating in secret. However, unlike Mu Yun, he just hides the result. It's just that Marquis of the state of an has not found anything. This strictly forbids people in the house to mention it again. On the one hand, it is to let those who are hiding in the dark relax their vigilance, and on the other hand, it is to be able to concentrate on searching in the dark.
"I wonder if my father has found out who murdered my mother in those years?" After thinking about it, Xu Shaoyin asked directly. If she is concerned about something, it must be this.
"It's not convenient for me to say that, but I should have found it. The lady still needs to ask the master in person!"
This time, Xu Bo began to play tricks again. Xu Shaoyin couldn't help but roll his eyes at him. Why didn't the old man find that he was so circuitous before.
"Now why do you suddenly point this out? Xu Bo, I remember that my father should not allow anyone to tell me this? " Finally, Xu Shaoyin asked her questions all the time, but also to prove her conjecture.
"Well! Oh, I have a headache. Let's talk about it later! You go back quickly. I won't stop you With that, Xu Bo, who had been serious, pretended to be painful. Xu Shaoyin had to give him a white eye again, and then glared at her again. Then he turned and walked out of the gate.
"Why did you come here? Didn't you say you should stay in the yard? How do you hide here? "
Out of the gate, Xu Shaoyin touched his chin, and at the same time, he took advantage of the situation to get a glimpse of the two people who had just been exploring, and kept walking forward. Naturally, those two people were ordered by Xu Shaoyin to go back to the yard, Muyun and Yuqing.
"Miss, we are not worried about you! Slow down! Wait for us Seeing this, Yuqing quickly follows up. Muyun takes a look at Xu Shaoyin, who is walking fast. She looks back at the yard, and then follows up.
What the old man is up to! Hum hum! You wait for me to let you say all you don't want to say sooner or later! Xu Shaoyin, who was walking in front of him, thought in his heart.
