The reborn first wife is a male

The four of them came out of the door of the study, only to realize that it was already the beginning of the Chinese lanterns.

Fugui ran over, and An Shaohua asked what was going on.

It turned out that before and after dinner, Qiao Ran told the maid of the Lu family who was serving him to serve him some good food and wine.When it was ready, Qiao Ran said that without Siqiyu and Chengxian wine, how could it be considered a good food and drink?

Gu Li snorted coldly: "When people get together, it's the busiest time, how can he be so good at handling things!"

An Shaohua glanced at Gu Cheng, but thought of the series of dish names that he casually reported on the ninth day of noon.The master has just left. As a continuation, is the ninth day a little too calm?Don't say it's a woman, it's just that Da Yuan in the court encountered such a life-and-death parting, and there are not many people who lost their composure in front of others.What's more, this ninth day used to be Liu Xiaoxiao, and it was Lu Quan who had to marry her to be a good person. Without Lu Quan, she is still laughing at the scene.Under such circumstances, Lu Quan died suddenly, and her own identity and future were uncertain, and she had no foundation in the Lu family, so she was precarious.She should be in a hurry, flustered, seek refuge indiscriminately, or rush to get on good terms with the Lu family siblings, at least they want them to support her until she dies.But her various attitudes before and after are really puzzling.She seemed neither in a hurry nor worried.Why should she not worry?

There was also Lu Quan's body, with two stab wounds on his abdomen, but his clothes were in good condition.Was it taken off and stabbed and then put on again, or was it changed after death?No, neither of these cases is true.It is impossible to take off your clothes and be stabbed in the front. After being stabbed, you don’t go to the doctor and you have to change your clothes.Changing clothes after death, it is impossible to wear so well.

But the time of Lu Quan's death should be around midnight last night.When he was a child, the maid who delivered the hangover soup saw Lu Quan in the study. At that time, Lu Quan was wearing a blue shirt and was sitting behind the desk playing with an embroidery.Lu Quan asked the maid to put down the hangover soup, and asked if the hangover soup was only for him, or did all the guests come today?Knowing that everyone has it, Lu Quan said good job and let the maid go.

And that blue shirt.Both Lu Zhongyuan and Lu Xiamiao said that his father did have a blue shirt, but the blue shirt was nowhere to be found.

At this moment, Gu Li suddenly said, "Weiqing, I heard something strange at noon."

"tell me the story?"

Gu Cheng then talked about the hangover soup that he had heard by accident at noon, hiding the characters and events, and only talked about speculation.An Shaohua was silent for a long time after listening, then suddenly said after a while: "Last night, you said that I also slept very deeply?"

The two glanced at each other with solemn expressions.

An Shaohua ordered Fugui to let Chu Jiu, Lu Zhongyuan and his wife, and Lu Xiamiao come separately.Mao Zhou and Gao Xinli both looked at An Shaohua, waiting for his explanation.Fugui responded and left.

Before he could explain, people from Cangzhou Mansion came up to him.Wu Zuo just went to the ferry, and he has sent people to chase him, but he hasn't come back yet.

The servant girl who delivered the meal was guarded by the yamen servants and hadn't left yet. Seeing several adults, this servant girl still looked like a newborn calf.

"Meet a few adults."

An Shaohua took a look, it turned out to be an old acquaintance, tenth day of junior high school.

"What's your relationship with Chu Jiu?" Without giving her a chance to prepare, An Shaohua asked directly when they met.

"Miss is Master Lu's sweetheart. Master redeemed Miss and brought us to Lu's house. What does Master An think is the reason?"

An Shaohua's heart skipped a beat. It seems that the master and servant are in the same line when it comes to answering irrelevant questions.In the morning, I asked Chu Jiu, who can prove that she is the candidate for the continuation that Master Lu said, but she said that the seal of the head of the Lu family was on her yesterday.Just now I asked the tenth day about her relationship with the ninth day, but the tenth day said that the ninth day is the continuation of Master Lu.

"Tell me about Qi Ran." Gao Xinli said.

"This young master only came the night before yesterday. At that time, Erhong was taking care of this yard. Erhong burned his hand yesterday afternoon, so I took it over."

Gao Xinli winked, and immediately behind the crowd, a person from the criminal department quietly turned and left.

"I came to deliver hangover soup last night, but Mr. Qi is not in the yard."

An Shaohua and Gao Xinli looked at each other, Gao Xinli made a gesture, and another person left quietly.

"There are a lot of things to do in the mansion today, but this Mr. Qi wants to eat good wine and food at lunch time. After the wine and food are served, he thinks that there is no Si Qiyu and Chengxian wine. After reporting to the steward, Chengxian wine is not good. It came quickly, so I sent it to Mr. Qi. When Si Qiyu was ready, I sent it again. I knocked on the door but it didn't open. I thought about opening the door and letting it in. Who knows, "Although what he said was so, the first ten eyes There was not much panic in the face, and there was no expression on his face.Chu Shi took a look at An Shaohua, and continued, "Who would have seen Mr. Qi dead as soon as I opened the door."

Regarding the performance of Chujiu, almost everyone present had a different opinion.

An Shaohua felt that a little girl shouldn't be so calm when she saw the corpse with her own eyes. Could it be that she killed it?

Gao Xinli thought in his heart that Qi Ran must have done something outrageous to let the little maid of the Lu family know that he was so indifferent after death.

Mao Zhou wanted to go in quickly to see the scene, and didn't want to hear this maid complaining about whether Qi Ran was difficult to serve.

Gu Cheng thought to himself: Facial paralysis, female facial paralysis, alive!

Several people asked a few more details, such as whether Qi Ran said anything when he opened the door, what clothes Qi Ran was wearing at that time, what his expression was like, etc. If there was nothing unusual, they left on the tenth day.

Go into the courtyard where Qi Ran lives, and the people of the Li family live in the courtyard.Everyone has been invited out by the magistrate's yamen. They knew it was a homicide case, but no one caused trouble, but it is inevitable to make a face and say something unpleasant.The yamen servants have asked again, but no one saw anything.I slept well last night, I didn't know that Qi Ran was not in the room, and I was eating today, but someone from the Li family saw Qi Ran and casually invited him, Qi Ran said that he had an appointment tonight.

Have an appointment?

A few people found the problem when they entered the door.Qi Ran Qiqiao bleeds to death miserably, the dishes on the table have not been touched, the chopsticks are still on the side, but the two jugs of wine are very interesting.Chengxian wine is placed opposite, the wine glass is still empty, but the jug is full.In front of Qiao Ran was a plate of rice wine, after a few sips, the jug was half full.This is the rice wine that Qiao Ran should drink before he dies.

This is interesting, Qiao Ran insists on pairing Siqiyu with Chengxian wine, but he doesn't drink it himself, who is he waiting for?

Gao Xinli asked the people from the punishment department to check everything on the table to see where the drugs were downloaded.

This rice wine is the match for dinner tonight, and it is the same for everyone. The state government servant who went to inquire just now came to report that the food and wine for dinner were delivered together by the special food delivery boy after the kitchen was ready. No one knows where The dish and which pot of wine will be given to whom in which house, so there is no way to poison in advance.

Before Wu Zuo came, Fugui called Lu Zhongyuan and his wife over.

Mao Zhou still felt that Lu Zhongyuan and his wife were quite suspicious.

Let me just ask, Lu Zhongyuan is now in the limelight among the scholars in Yonganjing, but when he got married, his father announced that he would marry a prostitute.Not only that, but his father wanted to give all of the Lu family's property to that woman. Could Lu Zhongyuan not be angry?Mao Zhou thought it was impossible.Lu Zhongyuan will definitely be angry, resentful, and even feel that his father is immoral, so what will he do?

"Lu Zhongyuan, what did your father say last night?"

The couple looked at each other, and Lu Zhongyuan slightly stood in front of Qiao Lai. "Lord Mao." Lu Zhongyuan saluted. "Yesterday my father called the three of us to the study. He set up a small table of noodles, and my father made sour soup noodles with his own hands." The corners of Lu Zhongyuan's lips curled up slightly, but tears fell down. "I'm sorry. It's really... not dignified."

Qiao Lai took a step forward to hold Lu Zhongyuan's hand, and gently touched his back with one hand.

An Shaohua said: "It's okay, Huan Lang, you sit down and drink some water."

Lu Zhongyuan picked up a cup of tea to calm down, and An Shaohua took the opportunity to chat. "The sour noodle soup you mentioned, is it something your father often made?"

"Yes, I lived in my hometown for a few years when I was a child, and my grandmother often made sour noodle soup. Later, my father bought a house in Cangzhou and took me here. Every time my father came back, he would make sour noodle soup for our siblings." Lu Zhongyuan held the noodles in both hands. Cup, cover your cold hands with the heat of the water.In a sad tone, he talked about the recipe of sour noodle soup, which made An Shaohua and others hungry.

"Sometimes when I'm late at school, my father will make me sour noodle soup himself. My sister will make a fuss to eat it when she knows about it." Lu Zhongyuan laughed again as he spoke.

"Why did you live in your hometown for many years?"

"I don't remember it. What I can remember now is that I lived in my hometown for several years when I was young. My grandmother's family was only a wealthy family. The family couldn't even hire servants. All the work was done by my grandparents. I was very young. It's time to collect firewood."

Seeing that An Shaohua didn't have an idea, Mao Zhou was a little anxious. "Do you know that Liu Xiaoxiao is the continuation of your father's marriage?"

"I didn't know it before, but now that I think about it, it's possible."

"Oh? How do you say this?"

"A few days ago, my father suddenly went to Yong'an Capital, saying that he found a treasure."

An Shaohua nodded.The first time he saw Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu was very excited. He kept saying that after many years of investigation, he finally found a trace, but when he asked what it was, Mr. Lu refused to say.

"I asked my father what the treasure was, but my father refused to say, but he was very excited, and his face flushed when he mentioned it, as if—" Lu Zhongyuan said about his father's happy look, with a smile on his face, "A long-cherished wish has been fulfilled. However, father has never said the whereabouts of that treasure."

Lu Zhongyuan took a deep breath, exhaled heavily, and continued: "Father called us in last night, and he just said he wanted to continue. We congratulated my father, and my father was very happy. At this time..." Lu Zhongyuan glanced at Gu Chen , looking a little embarrassed, "A maid came to invite me to entertain the guests on the stage, so I left from my father's study."
