After she became a county magistrate, she took the ghost to investigate the case

Xu Yingying, who was standing by, looked at Xu Ruohao and Li Siqi in confusion when she heard this.

"What are you two, master and servant, talking about? Why is it so confusing? Can't you just say what you want to say?" Xu Yingying asked puzzled.

"Nothing, it's just that my brother was jealous of my outstanding talent and my parents' love, so he wanted to fight for the family property and replace me, and then he sent a lot of people to assassinate me."

Li Siqi said in a very calm tone.

"Ah! There is such a thing." After hearing this, Xu Yingying looked at Li Siqi with an extremely sympathetic look.

Li Siqi looked calm, after all, this was a very normal thing for him.

In the next few days, Li Siqi was busy taking care of the sick Xu Ruohao and seemed to have forgotten his promise to Xu Yingying.

Xu Yingying also felt that the cases reported to the yamen in recent days were all extremely small matters, such as lost property, etc., so she handed over full responsibility to Lai Chahua, and she hid in the room to avoid any idleness.

Camellia seemed to be extremely interested in this kind of thing. She was busy helping people find their lost things every day and was very happy about it.

Seeing the teapot enjoying itself, Xu Yingying lay down with more peace of mind.

morning.

Xu Yingying was lying bored in the hammock she made in the yard, basking in the sun.

"Taohua, is my morning tea ready?" Xu Yingying urged with her eyes closed.

"Here it comes, sir, please try it. This is a new rose-flavored pastry I developed. It's delicious." Taohua looked at Xu Yingying expectantly.

"Really? Then I want to have a good taste."

After Xu Yingying finished speaking, she took a large piece and put it in her mouth. After tasting it carefully, she gave Taohua a thumbs up and praised: "It's delicious! Taohua, you are a genius!"

"Hehe, as long as you like it, I'll make it for you every day." Taohua was so happy to hear that that her mouth opened wide.

Just then Aunt Li came into the yard with a broom and started her daily chores - sweeping the floor.

Xu Yingying casually handed a piece of cake made by Taohua to Aunt Li and said, "Aunt Li, you have worked hard. Come and try the new cakes made in the kitchen."

"Oh, this is not a good idea, sir," Aunt Li said evasively.

"Oh, don't refuse. Come and eat!" Xu Yingying said and stuffed the pastry into Aunt Li's mouth.

Aunt Li couldn't refuse anymore. She took a bite of the pastry and was stunned.

When Xu Yingying saw Aunt Li again, she was already in tears.

"Sir, who is this cook? The cakes she makes taste exactly like those made by my deceased daughter. Would you like to meet her?"

Xu Yingying almost spit out the cake in her mouth when she heard this. She waved her hand and said, "This cook is a man in his forties, and he has a family. It doesn't seem right for you to meet him, Aunt Li."

Aunt Li nodded with some disappointment when she heard this and said, "Okay!"

After tasting the cakes carefully, Aunt Li picked up the broom and continued cleaning, but she became a little silent.

When Taohua saw this scene, she felt a little melancholy. She saw that her mother hadn't mentioned her for so many days and thought that she had forgotten her. However, she didn't expect that her mother still remembered her in her heart!

Taohua saw that she and her mother were in the same place but separated by life and death, and her mother would never see her again in this life.

When Taohua thought of this, she felt a little depressed.

Xu Yingying saw all of this.

Xu Yingying walked over to Taohua and comforted her, "It's okay. Although your mother can't see you now, you can still see her! You have been silently guarding your mother. Isn't this also a kind of companionship?"

Taohua nodded silently when she heard this, but didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Camellia, who was standing by, also followed Xu Yingying's example and comforted Taohua.

"Think positively. Life is only a few decades long. Maybe something unexpected will happen and your aunt will come down to accompany you. Then you and your daughter can continue to be ghosts and continue your relationship."

Camellia said to Peach Blossom seriously.

After Camellia finished speaking, the atmosphere, which had been somewhat relaxed, suddenly fell into a new awkwardness.

The corners of Xu Yingying's mouth couldn't help but twitch twice.

At this moment, she really wanted to ask Camellia, are you sure this is what you say to comfort someone?

Sure enough, Taohua's face turned red with anger after hearing this.

"Are you sick? Can you talk? My mother won't come down to accompany me! I want her to be healthy and live to be hundreds of years old!"

"You're crazy! I don't want to talk to you!" After saying that, Taohua left angrily.

"Hey! Taohua! She didn't mean it." Xu Yingying hurriedly stopped Taohua.

But all Taohua left her with was a back view.

After seeing Taohua completely disappear, Xu Yingying couldn't help but start scolding Camellia.

"Tell me, how did you talk? I really admire you. Do you think it was okay for you to say that in that situation?" Xu Yingying said, touching her temple with a headache.

"It's okay, she will come back when she calms down. She can't go far. Besides, where can she go in her current condition?" Camellia said indifferently.

She looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. Xu Yingying really didn't know what to say.

"Oh, by the way, why don't you help me find my feet?" Camellia asked Xu Yingying as if she remembered something.

Xu Yingying smiled bitterly when she heard this. "Do you know your name? Or where you live? Who killed you?"

Faced with Xu Yingying's questions, Camellia just shook her head and knew nothing about anything.

"You don't know anything and you don't have any clues. How can you ask me to help you investigate?" Xu Yingying said helplessly.

After hearing this, Camellia felt too embarrassed to say anything more.

"Wait a little longer! When the time is right, maybe you will find your feet." Xu Yingying comforted Camellia.

"Okay! Oh, by the way, sir, I can sing opera, so let me sing an opera for you!" Camellia said as if she remembered something.

"You can also sing opera! Great, great! I'm really bored right now." Xu Yingying agreed excitedly.

"Leaving home to save Li Lang."

"Who would have thought that he would be the top scorer in the imperial examination?"

"The top scholar wears a red robe."

……

When Xu Yingying heard this, she immediately became interested and listened with great interest.

Because Xu Yingying was so engrossed in listening, she didn't notice that there was a figure approaching her from behind.

"What are you doing?" Li Siqi quietly walked behind Xu Yingying, then leaned over and spoke suddenly in her ear.

Xu Yingying was so scared that she almost rolled off the hammock. Li Siqi was quick to catch her and prevent her from falling to the ground.

"Hey, what are you thinking about? You're so focused that you didn't even hear my footsteps." Li Siqi teased Xu Yingying.

Xu Yingying rolled her eyes silently after hearing this. "What do you think I'm thinking? I'm just tired so I'm taking a break here. I'm interrogating people during the day and ghosts at night. I'm really too busy and tired."

"Ghost? You can interrogate a ghost? What can you do?" Li Siqi couldn't help but teased when he saw Xu Yingying's nonchalant look.
