Chapter 132: The Double Ninth Festival

Chapter 132: The Double Ninth Festival

For Sun Shaozong, the Double Ninth Festival in Guangde in the past ten years has been a day of "to be delivered from oppression.”

Because of the murder of Qian Ning, he was detained in the North Town Detective Department for three days. If Dai Quan had not spoken for him in the Palace, he might have had to ”cooperate in the investigation.”

But on the Double Ninth Festival, Sun Shaozong was held in his arms by his Big Brother when he had just left the gate of the North Town Detective Department.

A hundred pounds of strength hit his back and tons of inquiries about his well-being.

Only then did he know that after he was detained in the North Town Detective Department, his Big Brother immediately asked for a long vacation and stayed outside the North Town Detective Department all day and night.

Although Sun Shaozong was deeply moved, this North Town Detective Department was not the place to talk after all, so he only told his elder brother that he was not abused, and the two brothers left to return to Sun Mansion. RêAd lateSt chapters at novelhall.com Only

"The Second Master is back!"

"The Second Master has returned to the Mansion~!!"

When they got outside the Sun Mansion, they didn't wait for the carriage to stop steadily.

Wei Licai, the old housekeeper, burst into tears and rushed under the wheels.

Sun Shaozong was so scared that he jumped out of the carriage and held the old housekeeper in his hand. Before he could speak, the old housekeeper reached up and down and said nervously, "Second Master, are you hurt? Let me see!"

He then stamped his foot and scolded, "Zhao Zhongji, why are you so stupid? Why don't you take that soft sedan chair out?"

Zhao Zhongji winced at his scolding and went to the door, wanting to ask someone to bring the sedan chair out.

"Come back!"

Sun Shaozong hurriedly stopped him and smiled at the old housekeeper. "Don't you think I'm doing well? I'm an Assistant Investigator in the North Town Detective Department, and it’s not like I broke the King's law. I eat and drink every day, and I'm getting fatter."

His Big Brother also came down from the horse and assured the old housekeeper that he was relieved. He then told Zhao Zhongji to send all the doctors away to avoid misfortune.

Later, Sun Shaozong, witnessed by dozens of servants, stepped over a flaming brazier and finally entered his home.

It's no wonder that the family members were so fussy. In the eyes of the world, the North Town Detective Department was no different from Hell and the scene of bloody slaughter. However, it's considered light to be involved in the case and get skinny and cramped. Any simple crime could cause the punishment of confiscating the property and killing the members of an entire family!

When he entered the Mansion, Sun Shaozong was going to have a chat with his Big Brother in the living room. But just after walking around the screen wall, he saw two servant girls, Shi Liu and Fu Rong, looking around at the side door.

After seeing Sun Shaozong, Ruan Rong and Xiangling soon appeared behind the side door.

"Brother."

Sun Shaozong carefully picked Ruan Rong up and said with a smile, "Go and see what father-in-law wrote in the letter!"

"Let me down, let me down!"

Ruan Rong pretended to struggle a few times, but she had already attached her hands to his heart.

Xiangling looked back and felt envious, but she knew her position and dared not be jealous.

So she swaggered to the backyard, but Sun Shaozong stopped suddenly, looked at the flower bed nearby curiously, and asked, "People enjoy flowers and drink wine in the Double Ninth Festival. Why did you pull all the flowers up?"

There were only pits in the garden. There was no flower or grass.

"I'm going to change it into chrysanthemums."

Ruan Rong said with her mouth twitching, "Who knew that you had an accident when I just shoveled away those peonies and roses, who in the whole family have the mind to buy and tidy the chrysanthemums?”

To celebrate the Double Ninth Festival, they need to shovel hundreds of flowers and plants and replace them with new chrysanthemums.

If he thought about the victims outside the city who were naked, it was really the red-lacquered doors of wealthy homes where there were frozen bones on the great meat dishes and wine!

However, although he sighed with emotion, they should not skip the festival because of the victims, right?

Sun Shaozong then said, "If you want to enjoy the flowers, let's go to find a suitable place in the morning. You've been at home for several months, and it's time to go outside and take a breath of fresh air."

Ruan Rong was excited but hesitated for a moment. "Let's see what my father wrote in the letter first."

Right, if his father-in-law plays the trick of "cutting ties,” how could she enjoy the flowers?

"Okay, let's read the letter first."

Sun Shaozong said, and he was ready to step forward.

"Second Master, Second Master!"

To his surprise, a woman rushed to the front and said out of breath, "Second Master Lian, Second Master Bao, and Master Xue of the Rongguo Mansion, as well as the small office of Shenwu General's Mansion, and Master Feng [Feng Xin] of Fengzui Lane, have all come to visit you!"

These guys were really well-informed.

After Sun Shaozong hesitated, Ruan Rong struggled down to the ground, pushed him on his chest, and said, "Go quickly. Don't let others wait long."

"Then you can't open the letter alone!"

As Sun Shaozong said this, he gave Xiangling a signal and motioned for her to keep an eye on her, so that Ruan Rong could not open the letter alone and get any more stimulation.
