strange village

come.

Soon Dongyue had finished washing first, and walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a clean towel beside her.

He went to pour two glasses of water, then went to the closet to search for clean clothes, chose white clothes and pants, and changed into them.

The sound of the water in the bathroom was still rushing, but Dongyue's eyes were attracted by the black robe hanging on the hanger, and she couldn't help reaching out to touch the soft fabric again, sighing in her heart, it's really a good thing, it's cold and windproof to keep warm , sun protection and heat insulation when it is hot.Looking at that dress, Dongyue couldn't help thinking of Zhu Yao's body that she saw in the bathroom just now, her face was still a little red, thinking that Zhu Yao must be very suitable to wear this dress, thinking that she would be the first to see it The way he put it on made him feel inexplicably flattered.

He was staring at the dress in a daze, Zhu Yao came out of the bathroom, saw his idiot, and said, "Try it on."

"Ah? No, I think it suits you."

"This dress was originally bought for you." Zhu Yao said while wiping her hair.

"For me?" Dongyue asked holding the hem of her clothes.

"Put it on and have a look." As he spoke, he picked up the cup on the side and drank the water dry.

Dongyue obediently put on the robe, the cuffs were a little long, and it was just right when rolled up a little.

Zhu Yao went over and turned him around, looked at him directly, and said, "Not bad."

Dongyue was a little happy in her heart, but she also felt that this dress would look better if Zhu Yao wore it, and imagining that look couldn't help but move her heart.

After the trial, Dongyue took off the silk robe and hung it up, but heard footsteps outside the door, and then someone pushed the door and came in.

"Have you all finished taking a shower? It's really fast! Could it be," she said with suspicion on her face, "You two took a shower together?"

Both of them remained silent, and Dongyue stood there in a daze, not knowing how to react.

Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Mo Tan seemed to understand something, and said, "Isn't it true that they are washed together?" Then he burst out laughing.

"That's to save water!" Dongyue said.

Mo Tan saw that he was laughing until he couldn't straighten his waist: "Really? Thank you very much for thinking about the Chu family, but there is no need for this. There is a sandy lake and an underground river here. With the ability of the Chu family, this bathing Water, as much as you want."

"Oh, thank you so much for telling me." Dongyue was helpless, she had washed her heart, why didn't she say it earlier.

"Why didn't you knock on the door when you came in!?" Dongyue shouted when she was overwhelmed.

"What's the matter? Is there anything you don't want me to see?" Mo Tan asked.

"We, men, you, women." Dongyue pointed to herself, and then to Mo Tan.

"It's okay, I haven't seen anything, don't mind."

You don't mind, I mind, okay?

"Speaking of business, I'm here to tell you that there is a chance for you to meet Chu Xuan tonight, and then we'll discuss how to resolve her matter. I'll come to you at dinner time. Before that, you should have a good rest. Recharge your batteries." Then, he picked up a piece of snack from the table, turned around and went out.

After Mo Tan left, the house became quiet again.

Dongyue said: "Do you still have something to hide from me?"

I wish you nothing.

"I know you know a lot of things, about Huaixiu, are you still unwilling to talk about it?" Dongyue pointed out.

Zhu Yao sighed heavily, knowing that he would not give up easily this time, and said, "Huaixiu's prototype system is a paid diagnosis and treatment robot. The appearance is designed according to what you know about Huaiyi."

"Is he a woman?" Dongyue asked in surprise.

"It's not a robot for that purpose. He doesn't have obvious secondary sexual characteristics. He is a professional bionic human with medical functions." Zhu Yao said, as if he was talking about an extremely ordinary thing.

"What? Do you want to re-engrave anyone's face? Is this plausible?" Dongyue was a little indignant.

"Zhu Yao raised his eyebrows and remained silent.

"Isn't this illegal? Do you understand portrait rights?"

"We have related channels." Zhu Yao said ambiguously, "And it's not your girlfriend anymore, what are you worrying about?"

Dongyue is not convinced, I believe in your evil!This is clearly nonsense!

"Go on, why does he seem to have known me before?" Dongyue asked urgently.

"Perhaps there is something about you in the memory information he was implanted. This is also very common, and there is nothing strange about it." Zhu Yao said, turning his head and not looking at him anymore.

No, no, it's obviously suspicious.

"Then what's going on in this world? Have we traveled through? Or what?" Dongyue asked.

"Have you read too many novels?" Zhu Yao's tone was tinged with contempt.

"Then tell me what's going on?" Dongyue's tone was a little displeased.

"It's not a dream, it's not time travel. Look at you, then at me, what's the difference from before?" Zhu Yao said.

"I don't know at all." Dongyue answered quickly.

"You put it bluntly, there is no difference at all, so you don't have to worry, it's not a supernatural phenomenon." Zhu Yao said.

"Then what do you think I should do now?" Dongyue pressed.

"If you come, you will be safe. Anyway, you can't leave. Let's see what happens?"

"Okay." There was no other way.

Dongyue was diverted from the topic, and seeing that she didn't seem to be able to ask too much information, she quickly gave up. It's still early, and the future is long, so I don't believe that I can't get what he said.

Then he quickly rolled onto the bed, closed his eyes comfortably and went to rest.

There is only such a KingSize double bed in this room, so let's occupy a comfortable place first.

Apart from this double bed, there are actually quite a lot of places to sleep in this room, because not only is the space large, but all the furniture is also oversized. With a large sofa, sleeping a tall and strong man is not a problem.The floor is covered with thick velvet blankets, and the bedding is rolled up, so you can sleep on it.

But after a while, Dongyue felt a weight beside her on the bed.

"You sleep here too?" Dongyue said.

"What? You won't let me sleep?" Zhu Yao answered lightly, seemingly displeased.

"Isn't there no way to do it before? It's fine, then I can go to sleep on the sofa." As he said that, he was about to get up.

But Zhu Yao stretched out his hand to block him, saying: "It's not the first time to sleep together, now you know how shy?"

Outrageous!

"Don't say such misunderstandings, okay?" Dongyue called.

"Are you afraid that someone next to you can't sleep well? No, you slept like hell yesterday."

He was obviously thinking of him, but he was still being teased. He couldn't help but feel a little wronged, but he held back and simply closed his eyes and went to sleep.

"You want to drive me away when you recover from illness, you little heartless." The voice was inaudible, if there was nothing, Dongyue was already asleep and didn't hear it.

☆, choose you

When Dongyue woke up, it was already dark outside, and Zhu Yao had already got up and sat aside.

Dongyue thought for a while, took the black robe from the hanger, and was about to put it on, but was suddenly snatched away by Zhu Yao.

"Ah! What are you doing?"

"You don't need to wear that, this one is fine now." He said, smoothing out the wrinkles on his clothes.

"Okay." Dongyue didn't argue.

He thought to himself: You were the one who gave me the clothes, and you are the one who won't let me wear them now. Could it be that you are reluctant to part with them after sleeping?

Soon Shuang Ye and Mo Tan arrived, and they went to see Chu Xuan together.

Several people were brought into a room with complicated decorations. There were two rooms inside and outside the room, which were brightly lit. There were already many people sitting inside.

It was exactly Chu Qing who was sitting at the seat, and when he saw the two of them coming in, he stood up to greet them.

Several people greeted each other for a while, and then took their seats. The seats were filled up quickly, and it seemed that everyone had arrived.

"Let me introduce to you, this is my sister, Chu Xuan." Chu Qing pointed to the young woman beside her.

Sitting next to him was a woman with the same pale golden hair as him, wearing a layered apricot-colored long dress, covered with a water-red gauze, her soft and shiny hair was gathered, hanging on the On both sides of the cheeks, the skin is as white as snow, the eyebrows are picturesque, the lips are a little red, and the appearance is absolutely pure.

If there is any difference from the imagination, it is because it is rumored that Chu Xuan is a stunning beauty. In Dongyue's imagination, she is always glamorous and seductive, with an extremely charming appearance.But the woman in front of her, how should I put it, with her muscles and face, she was very pure. Although she was beautiful, her temperament was like that of a girl next door.

"I've met you all, please take care of me in the future." Chu Xuan saluted generously, her voice was exquisite and clear.

Then Chu Xuan pointed to the right side: "These are my old friends, Chang Ziran, this is Lu Song, Xiao Yiran, Tong Maosong."

Several people raised their hands and bowed as a salute.

Then he looked at Mo Tan: "This is Mo Tan, a descendant of the Mo family who lives in the desert. These two are her friends Dongyue and Zhu Yao."

The two nodded slightly and raised their hands in salute.

"Okay, we're all our own people, let's be more casual." Chu Qing said, snapping his fingers at Shuangye at the door.

Some young girls came in outside to help them prepare vegetables.

Dongyue was watching Chu Xuan in a daze, not paying attention to others, Zhu Yao put two slices of duck breast into his bowl, and said in a volume that only two people could hear: "Don't look, eat."

It was only then that Dongyue realized that what she had done just now was a bit inappropriate, so she hurriedly picked up her chopsticks, turned her eyes away, and covered it up by eating, but fortunately, no one else seemed to notice him.

"What exactly is Master Chu planning?" the blue-clothed youth named Lu Song asked.

"The key now is to know yourself and the enemy. Who did old man Chu find to hide it so well that I couldn't find out at all?" Chu Qing said, with a more worried look on his handsome face.

"Then how do we prepare?" Lu Song came again, and several other people also nodded.

"If there is really no other way, why don't you just keep doing it, find a suitable time, and run away with Ah Xuan!" Chu Qing said.

Mo Tan hurriedly said: "What nonsense are you talking about? Is this something that can be done easily? Besides, you forgot? Didn't you mean to ask Ah Xuan's thoughts?"

Several people were talking enthusiastically, as if they wanted to make a big event, and only then did they seem to remember that something like this had come out.

"Ah Xuan, what do you think? Do you have a sweetheart?" Mo Tan asked.

"I grew up in this house since I was a child, and I have no chance to meet outsiders. How can I have a sweetheart? Let my uncle arrange everything."

To be ignorant of one's own destiny, to have no opinion, is too resigned to it.

"Ah Xuan, you have to think about it. You don't know what kind of people uncle finds, do you? My brother hopes that you can choose someone you like and live your own life." Chu Qing said.

The blond woman was silent for a moment, and said: "Since brother said so, then I..." Chu Xuan looked around at the people present and sized them up for a while.

Xiao Yiran was wearing a dark green silk shirt with an embroidered gray coat. He looked like a peacock with oily hair and pink face. Seeing Chu Xuan hesitate, he said: "Sister Xuan, do you still remember me?"When you were young, we often met, and you also said that I was good-looking. "

The sweet tone made Dongyue get goosebumps all over her body, and she knew where to find such a talent.

Among these few people, in terms of appearance and physique, apart from Chu Qing, Zhu Yao should be the most outstanding. Feel.

"That is to say, everyone here, I can choose whoever I like?" Chu Xuan smiled, and the people in the room were stunned.

Chu Qing was also stunned, unable to speak, and then just nodded her head, being obedient to her sister.

"Then I'll choose him!" Chu Xuanyu waved her hand and pointed straight ahead, and the position she was pointing at was Dongyue.

Everyone was stunned.

All of you here, aside from your speech and behavior, are all considered talents.Although Dongyue is not bad-looking, and her figure can be considered flexible and well-proportioned, but if compared among these people, it can be said that her virtues are not outstanding, and her appearance is not exquisite, but Chu Xuan chose him.

Dongyue couldn't hide her astonishment, and looked back to see if she had misunderstood, who was she actually referring to behind her?

Zhu Yao's face is also pale.

Dongyue asked doubtfully, "Me?"

"That's right, it's you." Chu Xuan smiled brighter.

Hua Peacock looked unbelievable, and hurriedly said: "Ah Xuan, did you make a mistake, who is this person, do you know him?"

Lu Song also echoed: "That's right, the origin of this benevolence is unknown. It's better that we all know the basics. This guy came out of nowhere. Maybe it's a spy sent by that old thief Chu Yunfan!"

"You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately." Dongyue was not too polite.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing, these two are my friends, I guarantee that they are definitely not spies, they didn't even recognize the Chu family before they came." Mo Tan said.

Chu Qing said: "It's because I didn't think carefully, everyone is my friend, Lu Song, don't say such things in the future"

Lu Song wanted to speak, but was stopped by Xiao Yiran.

At this time, Chu Xuan spoke up: "Since I am asked to choose, don't I have a right to speak?"

Everyone turned their heads to look at her. Chu Xuan stretched out her hand and lightly brushed her long hair, tossing her side hair to the back of her head, and said, "This brother looks good, we must get along."

Dongyue's face was a little embarrassed, and she hurriedly said: "To tell you the truth, my friend and I came here to find a friend, and we didn't intend to. We have to leave after the matter is over. , I really can't take good care of you."

Chu Xuan didn't seem to expect to be rejected by Dongyue. After a moment of silence, she smiled again and said, "It's okay, I won't cause you any trouble. At least you can help me when I'm here."

Dongyue thought in her heart: I am not familiar with the place of life, I have neither talent nor talent, what can I do for you?This was clearly weird, but since the girl had already said that, it would be too embarrassing for Chu Qing to evade her refusal. He looked at Zhu Yao, who was keeping a dark face and did not speak, so he had no choice but to look at Chu Qing again.

Chu Qing seemed to have received Dongyue's gaze, and said: "You are guests from afar, and I want to trouble you to do such a thing, although I am sorry to trouble you, but since Ah Xuan trusts you, I have to ask you to do something like this. You are doing us a favor, it is just a show, you don't have to take it seriously, as long as you let Ah Xuan get away from Chu Yunfan's mercy, it will be done, and afterwards, you will definitely not delay the two of you."

Chu Xuan's eyes were joyful and enthusiastic, but she didn't seem to object to Chu Qing's words.

Now that the words have come to an end, the rest of the people are inconvenient to refute, so they have become cannon fodder. Even if they are unwilling to reconcile and cannot refute the face of their brothers and sisters, they have no choice but to give up.

Seeing that there was no room for change, Dongyue said: "Since you said so, if Miss Chu has no objection, I will try my best to cooperate with you."

Afterwards, the chat at the dinner table was temporarily put on hold.

After a meal, a young guard sent Dongyue and Zhu Yao back to the house.The house was too big and the road was difficult to recognize, the guards walked in front with the lights on, Zhu Yao and Dongyue walked behind side by side.As he walked, he passed a courtyard wall, but there was noisy movement from the other side of the wall, accompanied by bursts of shrill gunshots.

"What's that sound?" Dongyue asked suspiciously.

The little guard had a clever face, and lowered his voice and whispered: "The two guests don't know, this courtyard is remote, and it is the residence of our fourth wife."

"Oh? It's Chu Yunfan's wife?" Dongyue suddenly realized.

"Exactly, our Young Master Qing is still young and hasn't married yet." The guard said.

Still young?If I remember correctly, Chu Qing is also 24 years old. Dongyue didn't want to comment on the word "young", but she was curious and learned to lower her voice, whispering: "Fourth madam is just for fun this evening. What kind of trick?"

"Hey, this guest is young and knows a lot." The guard said with a wicked smile.

Zhu Yao's brows trembled and he refused to comment.

Dongyue obviously didn't understand what the guard meant, and said, "Are you still massaging in the middle of the night?"

"Hey, look at what you said, how can a massage be so dynamic?"

"What is that? Hitting someone in the middle of the night?" Dongyue guessed jokingly.

"[-]% yes." The guard said.

"Is that punishing the maid?" Although the voice was weak, it was indeed a woman's voice.

"Oh, no, it's the eldest wife. The maid of our eldest wife is punishing the fourth lady." The guard said.

Dongyue and Zhu Yao looked at each other, and realized that it was a rivalry between women!

Just as he was talking, he heard cursing inside again, and the sounds of cursing, beating, and crying came and went one after another.

That's horrible!

The guard quickened his pace and quickly led the two away.

After a distance, the sound gradually disappeared.

"Did the fourth lady do something wrong? Why did you still do it?" Dongyue asked, feeling pity for the woman's experience.

"You don't know that the fourth wife is different from the others. She was born in a poor family, but she has read some books. She is a talented woman with a beautiful appearance. Later, by chance, she met Master Chu, and they fell in love with each other. Master Chu loved her very much. They soon talked about marriage, and they were very beautiful for a while. But the four wives were a bit aloof and lofty. After marrying into the Chu family, they were not very popular with the eldest wife. Master Chu loves her, no one dares to do anything to her. But within two months, for some reason, the master became indifferent to the Fourth Madam, and did not go to her courtyard, and gradually acted as if there was no such person. Soon after marrying a new wife, the other wives would find trouble with the fourth lady from time to time. It was all trivial things, and it was difficult enough.

"Isn't this finding fault? Your master is really capable of making troubles. Marrying so many wives is too troublesome." Dongyue said.

Having said that, he knew in his heart that even if the outside world is already a highly developed civilized society, the situation of polygamy or polygamy has never disappeared. These situations have always existed under different cloaks of civilization.

"You're right, but a person like the master is naturally different. Later, when other wives picked out some of her faults, they said she violated this family rule and that family rule, so they were punished. I thought the master would not stand it, If it goes on like this, I will always take care of it, but the master acted as if he didn't know about it at all, so he ignored it, and then let them mess around."

"It's a lady anyway, so the maid can beat and scold at will?" Dongyue said, thinking that the rules here are really confusing.

"Of course it's all ordered by the eldest wife. Anyway, no one intercedes for her. Even if she can't, what can she do?"

"So popular? Did she really make so many mistakes?"

"If you want to commit a crime, there is nothing to say." The guard laughed.

"You don't seem to agree with this matter." Dongyue laughed.

The guard laughed at himself: "So what if you don't agree? People like us can't protect ourselves. It's good to take care of ourselves and live. How can we take care of others?"

It's not hard to understand. It's not easy for them to survive in a barren area. Who would stand up for others in such a thing.

While talking, they also walked to their residence, and the guard saluted and left.

After a while, another maid knocked on the door and brought tea and snacks.Tea is a kind of hojicha, which is baked with ancient methods. It will not be bitter at all and has a refreshing taste. It is especially suitable for drinking before going to bed. There are four kinds of desserts, crispy bacon cake, date palm roll, pine nut crystal cake and so on. There is the same Xiangfei crisp.

After the girl left, Dongyue sat down on a chair and said, "Hey, this meal is really uncomfortable, I'm not full yet, and I haven't had enough of Dongpo elbow."

As he spoke, he quickly picked up a piece of crispy bacon cake and put it in his mouth.

"Eat slowly, no one will grab yours." Seeing him eating vigorously, the corners of Zhu Yao's mouth twitched imperceptibly.

"Did you laugh just now?" Dongyue stopped eating.

Zhu Yao hurriedly turned his head away for a while, and said, "It's evening, don't eat too much, be careful not to fall asleep."

"Smile more, you're fine with everything, but you're too unkind"

Dongyue felt that Zhu Yao was thinking a lot, but she didn't dare to ask Zhu Yao what she thought about Chu Xuan at the moment.

Zhu Yao's eyes flickered, but he didn't answer. He changed his clothes and got on the bed.

Dongyue swallowed a mouthful of meatloaf, took another sip of tea, and said, "I don't know what Miss Chu was thinking, but she chose me."

Zhu Yao who was on the bed felt his blood surge up for a moment, his chest stagnated, and he lost all sleepiness. He turned over and said, "I've fallen in love with you, what's wrong?"

"Leaving aside the peacock, there are so many others. If I were her, I would definitely choose you."

Dongyue's words were not modest or flattering, he really thought so.

Under the dim light, Zhu Yao's eyes sparkled, and after a while, he said, "You really think so?"

Dongyue clapped her hands and brushed off the dim sum scum on her hands and body, poured herself another cup of tea, and said, "Of course it's true, when have I ever lied to you?"

In terms of appearance and physique, Zhu Yao is naturally first-class. Although he talks less and looks cold, he knows that he is actually quite reliable when he gets along with him. Naturally, he doesn't need to hesitate in this choice.

At night, thick fog gradually rises in the dark night, and the red moon hangs high.

On the bed, Dongyue had fallen asleep peacefully, and a soft and deep sigh sounded from her side in the darkness: "What shall I do with you?"

☆, deep house

Early the next morning, Dongyue was called by Zhu Yao early, and the maid also brought morning tea. The two of them ate face to face. Pine nut milk pie, two bowls of hot green vegetables, some pickled side dishes, some egg yolk floss porridge and a light winter melon soup.Soft glutinous rice porridge, golden meat floss, and crispy dim sum are especially appetizing.

The two were eating when there was a noise outside.Then came the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer, approaching them, Zhu Yao became alert, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and stood by the door.

The footsteps in the courtyard became scattered, and then someone walked to the door and knocked a few times.

"Is anyone there? I'm coming in." It was Chu Qing who pushed the door in, and then Mo Tan followed.

"So early? It's so lively here early in the morning." Dongyue still sat still, still eating.

"Something went wrong!" Chu Qing's face was very ugly.

Dongyue noticed something strange, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said, "Tell me, what's wrong?"

Mo Tan opened his mouth first, and said, "The eldest lady is dead!"

Dongyue was startled, and her body tensed up, "What?"

Zhu Yao was also taken aback.

Ma'am, this name sounds familiar, is it the one who beats people up at night?

"How did you die?" Zhu Yao asked.

"The cause of death is still unclear, it looks like poisoning!" Chu Qing said.

"That's okay too? Then call the police quickly, ah no, report to the officer quickly." Dongyue hesitated for a moment, wondering if this place should say that.

"Chu Yunfan doesn't know what to be afraid of. He said it was a family scandal, and he was not allowed to spread it to outsiders. He had to investigate by himself, so now he has to gather the people who were at the Chu family yesterday and meet in the lobby." Mo Tan wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Now?" Dongyue put down her chopsticks reluctantly.

"Well, right now, many people have already gone." Chu Qing said.

"Let's go." Zhu Yao turned around and called him, and then he stood up slowly, and reluctantly looked away from the dining table.

Along the way, Chu Qing and Mo Tan walked in front, Zhu Yao and Dongyue followed behind.

Zhu Yao whispered: "I didn't realize you were so greedy before."

"Food is the most important thing for the people, and good food is not available every day." Dongyue retorted dissatisfied.

"You stayed at our house because the food was good, right?" Zhu Yao chuckled.

"That's not it!" Dongyue turned her head to the other side, and let out a soft snort.

In the arrival hall, compared with other places, the decoration here is more luxurious and gorgeous, with carved beams and pillars, resplendent and resplendent, it seems that it is the place where the Chu family entertains distinguished guests on weekdays.

Right now, the room is full of people, and there are some familiar faces underneath. They are Xiao Yiran, Lu Song and others who I met yesterday. Xiao Yiran is still dressed in colorful clothes, shining brightly, and is particularly conspicuous in the crowd. Those people nodded slightly at them , It's a greeting.

The person sitting right now is Chu Yunfan. He looks quite young, he looks about 40 years old, he is imposing and elegant, and his clothes are mainly black, with gold as decoration. , too expensive.The seat next to him is roughly where his wife usually sits, and it is now vacant.

The next seats were all filled, and on the right was a large group of female relatives. I don't know how many wives this Chu Yunfan married, and all of them were outstanding, with fat rings, swallows and thin, each with their own charm.Behind the ladies followed their respective maids, so densely stood a row of people.

The one on the left is full of male guests, most of whom are invited guests.

"Is everyone here?" Chu Yunfan's voice was thick and majestic.

"It's all here." A man who looked like a butler beside him replied respectfully.

"Thank you for your compliments. You came to stay in the house for a short while, but such a tragedy happened at home. I am really ashamed, but this matter is strange, and I hope you will cooperate..."

This Chu Yunfan was eloquent on it, stopping from time to time, choked up for a while, and everyone present couldn't bear it.

As Chu Yunfan was talking, the woman below started to sob, "She treats us kindly, like a real sister, why did she leave like this?"

Mo Tan whispered in their ears: "This is the fifth wife, who is best at hugging the eldest wife's thigh."

Immediately afterward, someone followed suit, crying one after another, "Sister, you died so badly, who is so vicious who suffered a thousand knives?"

Dongyue's eyes were sharp, and she saw a shivering woman sitting at the end, who never raised her head. Compared with the other women in the seat, her clothes were too simple, and there was no maid behind her.

Master Chu was talking at the top, while Mo Tan was muttering at the bottom.It turned out that Chu Yunfan and the eldest wife Jiang Qiaofeng were a young couple, but they had nothing to do, so they married a few more after that. Therefore, the eldest wife and other wives included a total of six people, but the third wife a few years ago An accident occurred during childbirth, and both mother and child died.Then go to the dead wife, so that there are only four people left in front of me.

The second wife didn't speak, just wiped her tears with a tissue, while the three maids around her were handing tea and patting their backs.

The first wife is tricky and harsh, the second wife is obedient, the fourth wife is muffled and doesn't even raise her head, the fifth wife is crying pear blossoms with rain, and the sixth wife is a new favorite. She is not very old, and she looks shy and timid. shed tears.

Among the guests, those seated near the front must be Chu Yunfan's distinguished guests.This is different from what was agreed. Didn't Master Chu choose some playboys and careerists for Chu Xuan?What's going on with these old, weak, sick, disabled and big and three rough!

This place is unexpectedly uncoordinated, and it seems to have a certain level of scientific and technological production, but the Chu family is so feudal.

Not long after, someone came to report, whispered in Chu Yunfan's ear for a while, and then withdrew again.

This also touched the key point. It turned out that the eldest lady's body was discovered by her maid, Peng Hua.The eldest wife lived a very regular life. She got up at [-]:[-] every morning. The maid Peng Hua woke up early in the morning and found that she couldn't wake up no matter how much she screamed. When she got closer, she realized that she was out of breath.

"Ms. Penghua, she is quite pretty." Dongyue whispered to Mo Tan.

"Look at the girls here, how many are not good-looking?" Mo Tan fished a handful of melon seeds from the table.

As she said, the female family members from the wife to the maids are all well-groomed, and after dressing up, they are all refreshing and pleasant. In comparison, Peng Hua looks older, not as good-looking as those young ones. Go up to the water spirit.

"However, the Penghua girl looks more reliable, and her temperament is different, she is mature and beautiful."

Mo Tan nodded, and the words of the two reached Zhu Yao's ears, and his face turned blue.

"Just now, the cause of death has been found out. My wife died of poisoning." As soon as Chu Yunfan said this, there was a burst of noise below, and after the voice gradually died down, he added: "I was put down by the wolf." poison."

"There are wolves?" Dongyue muttered.

"Cough, there are no wolves. This so-called wolf's poison is a kind of plant, which is poisonous, so some people call it heartbroken grass. Once ingested by mistake, it will cause vomiting, heartburn, abdominal pain, severe respiratory paralysis, difficulty breathing, until die."

"Where did this thing come from?" Dongyue continued to ask.

"This thing is not rare. It usually grows on the edge of the oasis, close to the desert. Most people don't touch it lightly. But this thing can also be used for medicine. After its roots are processed, it can clear away heat and detoxify, and can reduce swelling and inflammation. For ailments like ulcers, but use it with caution."

"Who examined the corpse?" Dongyue asked.

"There is a doctor who lives in their family. There is a large population in the first place, and the first wife and second wife are not in good health, so he is always needed, so why not?" Mo Tan said.

At this time, Master Chu was also talking about the key point: "So, I invite everyone to come, firstly, to explain the situation to everyone, and secondly, I want to ask everyone to cooperate. Until the matter is clarified, don't leave the Chu residence for the time being."

Then some people quit. A young man in blue with a popular face said loudly: "Why don't you let us go? Your wife is dead. What does it have to do with us? You are under house arrest!"

Chu Qing hurriedly shouted to stop: "Zi Ran!"

The young man looked at him, and Chu Qing shook his head at the man with a very serious expression, signaling him not to say any more.

"Want to leave? Something happened when you came here. I think the eldest lady's matter has something to do with you outsiders!" The fifth wife had wiped away her tears, and raised her voice calmly.

The attack scope of these words is too wide, except for the four friends Chu Qing found here, Mo Tan and the others, and Chu Yunfan's guests, there are roughly [-] people. The guests were also taken aback, but because of face, they couldn't open their mouths, their expressions were slightly distorted, and they couldn't sit still.

The young man in blue whispered again: "We were invited by your family members. What motive do we have to harm your eldest wife? We don't even know where the eldest wife lives, but you are your own people. Is the possibility of coaxing high?"

Although the voice was low, many people actually heard it, and there was another burst of noise.

I don't know who said it: "That's right, our feet are not afraid of crooked shoes, you guys made it up yourself, you should be clear about it."

"Shut up!" Chu Yunfan shouted, and the hall fell silent instantly.

"Don't say a few words, I'm sorry for everyone, but now please stay calm and stay at the house for a few more days. After the matter is clarified, Chu will not make things difficult for you. During this period, is there any inconvenience? Yes, there is no need to be scruples, just talk to Chu."

"You don't know the joint. The eldest wife has a background. She died suddenly. We can't explain it to my mother's house. Besides, the family ugliness should not be publicized. If something should not be known to outsiders, the Chu family will definitely not I would like to see it." Mo Tan replied in a low voice.

"If you don't have any clues, please go back to your own courtyard to rest first, and Ah Qing and housekeeper Changgui will go to each courtyard later."

After Chu Yunfan finished speaking, he ordered people to disperse, family members and guests left the banquet one after another.

Chu Qing walked with them, Zhu Yao asked, "Why don't you see Miss Chu Xuan?"

Chu Qing turned her head and said, "Ah Xuan, I have to go to class today, I went out early in the morning."

"So hardworking? It's not easy to get up early and stay late." Dongyue said.

"That's right, all kinds of courses are fully scheduled, there is no free time at all, and I don't know where she got the free time to breathe. However, she can't afford to miss class because of this matter, and it has nothing to do with her." Chu Qing said.

"Does Master Chu have any objections?" Dongyue asked.

"That's right, I can't call someone back halfway. It's inevitable that outsiders won't see anything with such an announcement," Chu Qing said.
