Chapter 44 The Du family pleads guilty
Fortunately, Shao Cong recognized Shen Qingling's clothes almost at the same time, and withdrew his strength in time, so Shen Qingling was not hurt.

"Why did Er Niangzi scare me? Fortunately, I remember what clothes you were wearing." Shao Cong pulled his hand quickly, "If you were someone else, you might be hurt by now."

Shen Qingling looked indifferent, straightened the messed up sleeves with her backhand, and said with a smile: "I know you have sense of proportion, and I know you won't hurt me, so I am teasing you."

Zhou Langhuan, who was very nervous from the back, quickly walked behind Shen Qingling, checked up and down, and then patted his chest and said: "I heard that martial practitioners are extremely cautious, sister Qingling must never act like this again in the future, the danger is serious."

These words startled Shao Cong.

He just took a nap, and the two became so sincere, it really surprised him.

Seeing Shao Cong like this, Shen Qingling didn't want to explain too much, turned around and saluted Zhou Langhuan, and said: "It's getting late, Langhuan should rest as soon as possible, and see you tomorrow."

Zhou Langhuan shook Shen Qingling's hand affectionately, and while pulling her out, said softly: "Sister Qingling is so polite, if my sister is not worried about someone in Qingling's family, she should force her now." Leave my sister behind."

While the two were talking, they walked into the courtyard hand in hand.

Shao Cong raised his hand and patted his face, then heeled up.

-

In the inn, Yingxiu has been sitting beside Kuang Yuxiang's bed.

Pingniang came in a few times, seeing that Kuang Yuxiang hadn't woken up, she only brought food to Yingxiu.Before going out, Ping Niang sighed and said: "In the second half of the night, let me take care of little lady Kuang. After all, she is the person that Second Lady ordered to take care of, so you can't be tired alone."

"It's nothing..." Yingxiu waved her hand and said, "Your servant is in good spirits, you can stay up all night. Besides, Ping Niang, you have to go to the shop for Er Niangzi tomorrow. If you don't have a good rest, won't you miss it by then? Er Niangzi's errand?"

Seeing Yingxiu's insistence, Pingniang had no choice but to turn around and leave the room.

It just so happened that Shen Qingling came back.

As soon as she entered the inn lobby, Uncle Fu, who was dozing in the hall, hurriedly got up to greet her, and asked warmly, "It's late at night and the dew is heavy, why doesn't the second lady wear more clothes?"

As he said that, Uncle Fu took out a small copper stove from his bosom, "This is a hand stove made by Juxian Pavilion. The old servant saw that it was exquisite and cute, so he bought it back, thinking that the second lady can use it on weekdays."

Shen Qingling thanked Uncle Fu with a smile, held the warm stove in both hands, and said: "Uncle Fu won't have to wait for me from now on, winter will come in a few days, the dew will be deeper, Uncle Fu can rest earlier."

Clang.

There was a sound.

Shaoying in the corner stood up holding his sword with a grim expression. He hurried to his brother's side, grabbed Shao Cong's ear several times, and carried him up the stairs.

Of course, before going upstairs, Shao Ying still remembered to salute and greet Shen Qingling.

In fact, Shao Ying didn't blame Shen Qingling for taking Shao Cong away, but was a little annoyed at Shao Cong's attitude of treating Shen Qingling as his own.What he thought was that although they are currently subordinated to others and employed by Shen Qingling, in the future they will definitely leave and establish themselves.

how can...

How can it be so sad?

Shao Cong probably understood what the eldest brother was thinking, and murmured: "Didn't you say that the elder brother is the one who eats the king's salary and is loyal to the emperor? Now you think I'm doing too well."

Hearing that, Shao Yingyang slapped Shao Cong on the head.

Shen Qingling, who was at the bottom of the stairs, hurriedly followed upstairs, and joked in a low voice: "Shao Dalang, don't blame him, I got someone to accompany him, not because he was lazy. Fortunately, Shao Erlang followed during the day, which made me feel so tired. I have gained a bit of momentum in the Yangzhou government office."

The last sentence was said to Uncle Fu beside him.

"I don't dare to ask about what the second lady did." Uncle Fu cheerfully changed the subject, and said, "Today, Shao Dalang and I wandered around the east of the city a few times and saw a few shopfronts. The surrounding residents are well-off, and if they rent it out to open a restaurant, they can make ends meet.”

Shen Qingling nodded, and replied: "Very good, if you are free tomorrow, Uncle Fu can show me the map of the mansion, if it is suitable, make a decision as soon as possible, and avoid staying in this inn."

Ping Niang stood at the stairs with her cloak in her hands.

Seeing Shen Qingling going upstairs, she smiled and raised her hand to put on the cloak for Shen Qingling, jokingly said: "Second Lady is coming back so late, she really has to stay at home to be comfortable, otherwise Uncle Fu will help the inn every day The doorkeeper of the shopkeeper, I'm really sorry."

can not?

The inn should have been closed a long time ago, but it was Uncle Fu who had been pulling the door bolt and waiting in the hall, until he followed Shen Qingling upstairs before waking up the guy.The clerk, yawning, went sleepily and let down the latch, and the inn was closed.

"I have Lao Pingniang and Uncle Fu in the past few days, and with you, everything can be accomplished." Shen Qingling comforted the two of them with the most trustworthy words without hesitation, and the intimacy was evident in the conversation, "Wait until Kuang Yuxiang understands the case. , I should honestly prepare for our future livelihood and earn silver taels..."

It was late at night, after returning to the room, Shen Qingling washed up hastily, then hurriedly changed clothes and went to sleep.She didn't know it at this time, but what she was waiting for at dawn the next day was another shocking news.

"what?!"

Shen Qingling's eyes widened, she looked at Ren Shaochun in astonishment, and repeated in her mouth: "You said that the Du family took that Du yamen to the Yangzhou government office and made him kowtow to confess his crime?"

Ren Shaochun nodded, rolled up his sleeves and reached for the teapot, raised his head and drank a few sips, and said, "But it's not Du Chengye. Both my father and elder brother said that the Du family wanted to make big things into small things. Throw it out and condemn it."

Fang Lou is dead, and many details of the case are still incomplete, and the Du family threw out their sons to survive, making it clear that they want Ren Bingyi to turn a blind eye to this case and not to hold Du Chengye.

"What did Ren Zhizhou say?" Shen Qingling rubbed the corner of the table with her fingertips, her expression was gloomy, "He originally intended to clear up the old case, but now that the witnesses are dead, if he breaks the casserole and investigates to the end, then the Du family is afraid It's a mess."

These words are generally the same as what Ren Shaoyan said in the morning.

"Yes, my second brother said the same thing." Ren Shaochun stretched out his sleeves and wiped his mouth, and added: "It's just that the eldest brother thinks that Fang Lou was not harmed by the Du family, and he thinks there must be articles in it."

Bang Bang.

Ping Niang knocked on the door with breakfast in hand, interrupted and said, "Second Lady, Doctor Liu downstairs is here to greet you, do you want to see him?"

Hearing this, Shen Qingling stood up in a little surprise and went to open the door, asking Ping Niang: "Liu Xiuwen? What is he doing here? When he left that day, didn't he have an attitude of avoiding it? Why come here now to ask for a visit?" ..."

"The old slave didn't ask." Ping Niang saw Ren Shaochun inside the house, so she didn't step into the house, she just stood at the door and said, "Looking at Doctor Liu's face, he is very anxious, maybe there is something urgent."
