daughter-in-law next door

It was already night when Su Jinshi and others returned to the Tang residence, and they were already extremely hungry. Fortunately, the people in the residence had already prepared meals, and they had a hearty lunch as soon as they left.

After eating, the three of them came to Tang Mingze's study and closed the doors and windows tightly before they started talking.

"Jin Shi, what do you think?" Tang Mingze went straight to the point.

Although Su Jinshi's body was extremely tired, her mind was still clear. At this moment, she was sitting limply on the chair, her feet kept turning to stretch her muscles and bones.

"How else can I see it? Isn't that what it is..." Su Jinshi muttered, took a sip of tea, heaved a sigh of relief, and began to close his eyes slightly.

Seeing that Su Jinshi seemed to be falling asleep, Tang Yaxin said to Tang Mingze, "Brother, let's talk about it tomorrow. I'm almost falling asleep looking at Jinshi."

Tang Mingze didn't speak, but Su Jinshi closed his eyes and shook his head, "I'm just a little tired, but my mind is still very clear."

"Basically we have nothing to gain this time, but the more we do this, the more guilty the other party will be." Although Su Jinshi closed his eyes, the corners of his mouth turned up, as if he was smiling with a certain chance of winning.

Tang Mingze raised his eyebrows, "Could it be that you already have a clue?"

"No." Su Jinshi opened his eyes and said with a smile.

Tang Mingze's expression was a little stiff, but Tang Yaxin smiled, "It's okay, you continue to say, we have gained something from the investigation in the past few months, but it is very small."

"First of all, if a murder happened in the palace, who would be the first to arrive at the scene?" Su Jinshi asked.

"It's the fourth prince, because the emperor ordered the fourth prince to investigate this murder." Tang Yaxin said naturally.

"Even so, what do you think it's good for us to go to those so-called scenes? The murderer has been completely cleared, even if he didn't clear it first, he has a lot of opportunities, and it took us so long to see for the first time Naturally, nothing can be found at the so-called scene."

"That's true, but we have no way to find clues from other places." Tang Yaxin said a little discouraged.

"Secondly, if a murder happened in the palace, how would you normally investigate it?" Su Jinshi smiled and took a sip of water.

"Of course it is to investigate the scene, then go to the victim's residence to learn about the victim's life, and then further determine who has the motive to kill the victim from the relationship between the victim's friends, relatives and enemies." Tang Yaxin continued.

"Well, yes, Yaxin has learned a lot recently." Su Jinshi grinned.

"But those victims had no enemies, no close friends and relatives, almost nothing special, they were ordinary people who couldn't be more ordinary." Su Jinshi said.

"That's why we have no clue. Even if we know who the murderer is, we can't find evidence to prove it." Tang Yaxin was even more discouraged.

"You mean, there is a reason why the Fourth Prince chose these people?" Tang Mingze said suddenly.

Su Jinshi nodded with a smile, and took another sip of tea, "There is probably a reason, but I don't know what the reason is, and we need to investigate further."

Tang Mingze agreed. After a while, he seemed to remember something again, with a smile on his lips, "Although we don't know the reason, we can try our best to avoid the next victim."

Tang Yaxin's eyes immediately lit up when she heard this, "Yes, yes, since we already know that the fourth prince's target is those court ladies and eunuchs who are too ordinary, we can protect them secretly, and maybe we can follow the vine and catch them. To the evidence!"

Su Jinshi shook his head, "If we caught him so easily, then the fourth prince would be too stupid, not to mention there are so many maids and eunuchs in the palace, where can we find those very ordinary ones?"

"Then, we need to know how the Fourth Prince found them." Tang Mingze touched his chin and said while looking at Su Jin.

Su Jinshi nodded with a smile, "If we go in this direction and first understand the fourth prince's motives, maybe we will find something."

"That's great! Finally, I've made some progress, but..." Tang Yaxin's expression suddenly darkened again.

"what happened?"

"The emperor is not in good health recently, so be prepared for his sudden death." Tang Mingze said instead of Tang Yaxin.

"Sudden death? Do we want to prove that all the murders in the palace were committed by the fourth prince before the emperor died, so that the emperor may pass the throne to the sixth prince?" Su Jinshi said with a frown.

Neither Tang Mingze nor Tang Yaxin spoke.

Su Jinshi understood what they meant, and the reason why he asked her to investigate the case was probably because Ning Xifeng hoped to bring Ning Qiyue down as soon as possible.

What about after checking?

Su Jinshi thought of her guess about Ning Xifeng before, and felt shuddering.

She took another sip of water, stretched her waist and yawned, "I'm too tired today, I think I'd better rest, I haven't seen Susu all day, I really miss it."

With that said, Su Jinshi walked out the door, leaving only Tang Mingze and Tang Yaxin sighing.

Along the way, Su Jinshi thought about how she and Nian Su would be dealt with when the emperor passed away after the case was investigated. If she escaped, she believed that Tang Yaxin would help her.

But once she escaped, she would spend her whole life on the road of escape, and she didn't want to live such a life every year.

Su Jinshi raised his head and looked at the sky, it was gray and gloomy, with no starlight or moon visible, but thick clouds could be seen faintly.

She sighed, probably she was getting closer to the truth.

However, she would rather not know the truth.

Su Jinshi was already very tired when she returned to the room, she lay down on the bed at once, she relaxed and lay there blankly.

"Jin Shi, are you back?"

Perhaps hearing the sound of the door opening, Nian Su called out to Su Jinshi's room.

"Well, Susu, I'm back." She said it very softly, and Nian Su must have not heard it, but she didn't seem to be saying it for Nian Su, but more like saying it for herself.

Nian Su knocked on the door, then entered Su Jinshi's room, seeing her lying motionless on the bed, she was so frightened that she ran over immediately, seeing Su Jinshi's gaze slowly turned to her, she was relieved.

"Why are you so still, you scared me to death." Nian Su said with some complaints.

Su Jinshi pulled Nian Su onto the bed, sighed, and said, "Susu, I'm so tired, why did we come to the capital? There are intrigues here, and there is no trust at all. I'm so afraid that in the future, nothing but You don't trust anyone anymore."

Nian Su kissed Su Jinshi's forehead with some distress, "Everything will be fine when it's over."

Su Jinshi turned over, hugged Nian Su, buried his head in Nian Su's chest, and let out a muffled hum.

"When the things here are over, we will go to a place far, far away and live together. I sell tofu, and you make wine. We live together. No one disturbs us. It's just me, you, and Xiaodouzi." Nian Su hugged Su Jinshi's head and whispered.

Her voice was so soft and soft that Su Jinshi was in a trance for a moment, as if they were in that place right now.

Living a life with only her, Nian Su and Xiaodouzi, it seems that the current troubles have disappeared, no one is intriguing with her, and no one is lying to her.

Ever since she found out Ning Xifeng's identity, Su Jinshi has been scheming. She lives like a hedgehog, protecting Niansu and Xiaodouzi with thorns all over her body.

In this capital city, she really felt too tired.

"Susu, we will definitely leave the capital." Su Jinshi murmured in Nian Su's arms.

"Today, Xiaodouzi asked me why I haven't seen Aunt Jin Shi recently. I haven't seen you for a few days. I miss you a little." Nian Su smiled warmly.

Su Jinshi smiled, and poked his head out of Nian Su's arms, "Then I'll go take a look at Xiaodouzi, I wonder if he can study hard these days."

Nian Su took the opportunity to kiss Su Jinshi's lips, put his forehead against hers, and said, "You have worked hard."

In a word, it actually made Su Jinshi's eyes a little sore, probably because she was really tired.

Probably after lying on the bed for a while, Su Jinshi felt better, so Sui Niansu went to her room. She hadn't been in this room for a long time, and there was a smell of ink in it.

In front of the desk, Xiaodouzi was reading a book again.

Su Jinshi walked over to take a look, and he was actually watching - "The Romance of the West Chamber".

Su Jinshi was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect Xiaodouzi to know so many characters, even read The Story of the West Chamber, and read it with such relish, he didn't realize that Nian Su was standing beside her at all.

"Susu, do you know what's in that book?" Su Jinshi asked in a low voice.

Nian Su nodded, "Xiaodouzi told me that it seems to be the story of four masters and apprentices going to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures."

When Su Jinshi heard this, she almost fell to the ground. Seeing Nian Su's serious face, she couldn't bear to expose it.

She looked at Xiaodouzi, who did not expect that he had learned to lie to her mother and secretly read love novels after not caring about Xiaodouzi's study for so long...

Su Jinshi raised her forehead, and she walked to Xiaodouzi, "Little Douzi, who gave you this book?"

Xiaodouzi raised his head when he heard Su Jinshi's voice, and when he saw Su Jinshi, he immediately put down the book with a happy expression on his face.

"Aunt Jinshi, I haven't seen you for a long time, I really miss you!" Xiaodouzi ran to Su Jinshi's side and hugged her waist.

Seeing that Xiaodouzi was so enthusiastic, Su Jinshi didn't ask about the book any more, so he paid attention to his study, but found that he knew almost more characters than her...

She watched Xiaodouzi write the word "龑" neatly on the paper, and asked her what she read...

She thought about it for a long time, and felt that she had never seen this word before, so she said "long" casually, but Xiaodouzi said:

"Aunt Jin Shi, this word is pronounced 'yan'!"

Su Jinshi was embarrassed, and felt a little unbelievable that no one taught her to read and write when she was away.

"Little Douzi, who is teaching you to read and write recently?" Su Jinshi straightened his face and asked.

Xiaodouzi said with a smile, "Master Su taught me, that is Aunt Jin Shi's brother! He is so good, he not only taught me to read and write, but also gave me books!"

Su Jinshi was taken aback, is Su Huaijin teaching Xiaodouzi to read and write?

Su Jinshi turned to look at Nian Su, but she shook her head, expressing that she didn't know either.

After Xiaodouzi finished speaking, he realized that he had told a certain secret, and immediately covered his mouth, his big eyes rolled around, as if he was trying to find an excuse.

"Little Douzi, my brother, why did I teach you?" Su Jinshi asked with a frown.

Xiaodouzi sighed, pouted and said, "Don't ask me any more, I promised Mr. Su not to say anything!"

"If you say so, how about I buy you ten bunches of candied haws?" Su Jinshi tempted.

Xiaodouzi was a little shaken.

"I'll buy you whatever you want!" Su Jinshi continued to lure.

Xiaodouzi was a little shaken again.

"I can buy you a lot of books!" Su Jinshi tempted again.

Xiaodouzi was a little shaken.

"If you don't say anything, I'll tell Junya about your still wetting the bed!" Su Jinshi threatened.

Xiaodouzi's small body trembled, and his big eyes were full of tears.

"Aunt Jin Shi, are you good or bad!"

Su Jinshi knew he had succeeded.

"Then what you just said, you must not miss anything, you are not allowed to tell Junya about my bedwetting!" Xiaodouzi said aggrievedly.

Su Jinshi nodded solemnly, "I will do what I say!"

"Mr. Su said, I am his nephew, and he should teach me, but he didn't want you and my mother to know, saying..."

"You know, he will lose face..."

"..."
