"It's just that, why haven't you been in touch for more than 20 years?" According to Master Qiao's conduct, how could he bear the heart of his own daughter to marry far away and not miss it.

"It's because Ayue made an irreparable mistake. I unintentionally helped the evildoer, and my father was so angry that he swung his sword and cut off the father-daughter relationship between us. You are not allowed to enter the gate of Qiao's house." At this point, Mrs. Zongzheng was emotional and made her feel unwell, so Qiu Zhu poured a cup of tea for her to calm her mind, "For the sake of your health, madam, it's better not to say anything."

"Sure enough, I entered the gate of Qiao's house, but after he died, I secretly set up a memorial tablet for my father, younger brother, and Yu Fei." Tears rolled down her cheeks, making Mrs. Zongzheng look even more haggard." I have been useless all my life, but I am still alive, and the Qiao family has accumulated virtues for many years, but I will not die well."

"Ma'am, although Mrs. Qiao has not had time to forgive you until his death, he has learned that the Qiao family still has blood left behind, and the spirit in heaven can rest in peace." Qiu Zhu pointed to the wooden box, but Mrs. Zongzheng did not pay attention to it. , can only go with her, "Madam is pregnant with toad poison, and suffers from this torture. If you are not born like this, don't blame yourself so much."

"I just let it torture me like this. Life is worse than death. As long as I live, it will hurt as long as I live. Even if my father and brother can forgive me, I can't forgive myself."

Mrs. Zongzheng's words aroused Qiu Zhu's suspicion. Did Mrs. Zongzheng know that her toad poison was getting worse day by day, maybe she did it on purpose.

But at this time, he didn't want to pursue the toad poison, what he was thinking about was what the poison in Xun Fei's body was.

"Ma'am, Qiuzhu has something to ask. Do you know if the Qiao family has any treasures." Things that can be placed in such a hidden compartment must be very precious, and Mr. Qiao has been keeping them secret.

"Something?" Mrs. Zongzheng suppressed the emotions she had accidentally released just now, "What is it?"

"I don't know about this. I only know that Master Qiao took his grandson to the ancestral hall on the night when the Qiao family was destroyed. He behaved strangely. There is a hidden compartment in the ancestral hall. What must have been taken away?" Qiu Zhu revealed little by little what she had investigated. In order to observe Mrs. Zongzheng's expression and reaction.

Mrs. Zongzheng was really trying to recall, but she didn't seem to have the slightest clue.After a while, he seemed to think of something, but he looked unsure again.

"Zongzheng's house is heavily guarded, you can't stay longer, please come again at this time tomorrow night, I have something to ask you for advice." She seemed to have sensed something, and hurriedly asked Qiu Zhu to leave through the back window.

Before leaving, Qiu Zhu thought for a while, then turned around and said to Mrs. Zongzheng, "Take care, madam."

Qiu Zhu jumped over the bushes in the back room, turned over and jumped onto the nearby wall, and disappeared after a few strokes.

"Treading Xue Feiyan..." A figure flashed not far away, staring motionlessly at the direction where Qiu Zhu was going away.

As soon as he returned to the inn, as soon as he entered the room, a golden light shot from behind, brushed Qiu Zhu's arm and passed, leaving a bloodstain.Zongzhengmu opened the window to enter, and the golden hook hit the wall behind Qiu Zhu, "I treat you as a friend in the world, but you come to Zongzheng's house again and again to disturb trouble."

"Troubleshooting? This hat is too big, and Qiuzhu has no luck to bear it." The two were deadlocked in the small room.

Zongzheng's heart became ruthless, and he pulled back the golden hook against Qiu Zhu's neck. Qiu Zhu pulled the gauze and twisted it into a rope several times, wrapping around the golden hook like a long snake. Fang entangled each other in a stalemate, "You are willing to accommodate me tonight and take me to see Yin Jiaosuo. Qiu Zhu will be grateful, but I won't leave until the matter is cleared up."

"Xunfei didn't even investigate who caused the murder in their family. Why are you an outsider so concerned?" Zongzhengmu's unscrupulous words made Qiuzhu a little angry, "What a second young master Zongzheng, you told me back then Xun Fei's origin and life experience, I thought you were concerned about Xun Fei's little old friend, but it turned out that it was just a good show."

Zongzheng was at a loss for words. In terms of feelings, he didn't think about Xunfei like Qiuzhu did. Maybe he wanted to take Xunfei back home because of pity and sympathy. What Qiuzhu said was right. People don't care.

"How is Xun Fei doing now?" He took the initiative to take back the golden hook, and Qiu Zhu sneered, "Very good, don't worry about it, I met Mrs. Zongzheng today, and Qiu Zhu really admires her courage and wisdom. As for What did you say, Second Young Master Zongzheng can go and ask Madam."

"You!" Lin Qiuzhu knew that he couldn't expose this matter, and couldn't go against his mother's wishes, but he provoked him so much.

"Don't send..." The move was against the guest, and Zongzheng was speechless, and he couldn't even warn him.

On the second day, Qiu Zhu came to see Mrs. Zongzheng as scheduled. In the past, when she saw her, she always looked up to the sky and wore plain gauze, but today she was much more energetic, without any trace of complaint.

"My lord, I asked you to come back today because I have something I want to pass on to you." Mrs. Zongzheng took out a big bag, and when she opened it, it was filled with all kinds of clothes made of high-quality brocade. ..."

"Although I don't know who you are, but after thinking about it, it's useless to keep these things with me. It's best for you." Mrs. Zongzheng picked up a piece of clothing and gently stroked it. I want to give it to Yufei. I have been making clothes for him since he was born. That child is the only grandson of the Qiao family. As an aunt, I can’t help thinking about him. He made more and more, but he didn't wear them even once, because none of these clothes had been sent out."

Qiu Zhu took the clothes and took a closer look. The fabric was comfortable and soft, and the stitches on it were exquisite. I didn't see a single stitch, and they were all hidden very carefully. It seemed that I was afraid that the child would not feel comfortable wearing it, so I didn't dare to show it more. .

But he was very surprised, how could Mrs. Zongzheng specially take out Xun Fei's clothes for him to take away, her behavior was too abnormal to arouse suspicion.

He remembered what Mrs. Zongzheng said just now that Xun Fei had been making clothes since he was born, but after a rough search, those small clothes from the past were not in the bag, and the smallest one was about the same size as Xun Fei's current figure.

Suddenly, he realized something, Mrs. Zongzheng was lowering her head and caressing these clothes at this moment, but Qiu Zhu understood that Mrs. Zongzheng knew that Xun Fei was still alive, and he asked him to take these clothes back for Xun Fei to wear. It was prepared for Xun Fei's 13-year-old age.

When did he slip up without knowing it?Thinking back carefully, the conversation last night continued without mentioning anything that happened after the murder of the Qiao family, except...

Could it be that he mentioned the secret room of the relevant agency and inadvertently told Mrs. Zongzheng this secret.

Indeed, in the murder case of Qiao's family, everyone died in the front yard and side yard. Only Master Qiao and the "grandson of Qiao's family" died in the ancestral hall at the back, and no one else died.Mrs. Qiao took Xun Fei to the ancestral hall to find something, and he knew that the thing was most likely taken away by Xun Fei because Xun Fei was still alive, but how could Mrs. Zongzheng confirm this matter.

The only people who knew that Xiaolu was hiding in the ancestral hall were him, Xun Fei and the late Master Qiao.Mr. Qiao's death was a fact, only the "grandson of the Qiao family" who rarely showed up and was difficult to identify, and the murderer remained.

That night, the only people who could take that thing away were Xunfei and the murderer who killed the Qiao family. If Mrs. Zongzheng thought the same as him, then she was certain that the murderer didn't take this thing away, and that's why she guessed the Qiao family. Someone survived and left with something.This person is Xun Fei who is also in the ancestral hall, whose identity is difficult to distinguish.

Thinking of it this way, Qiu Zhu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for Mrs. Zongzheng's thoughtfulness. This lady seemed fragile, but she was able to catch clues everywhere.
