My Entire Family’s Gone Haywire!

"Have you been doing embroidery work on the afternoon of the seventh day of the lunar month? Didn't you hear anything?" Gu Xin asked.

"It's not always there. I've been doing embroidery for a long time. I need to move a little, otherwise my body will be weak and my eyes will be damaged. When I rest, I just walk in the yard. I really don't hear anything." Mrs. Song road.

"Princess, please have tea." At this time, Song Yi made tea and brought a cup of hot water to Mrs. Song.

After both of them drank, Song Yi said: "Princess, student, listen to your question on the seventh day of the lunar month. The student knows that the seventh day of the lunar month is the time when the Xie family girl died. But the student has a question, the Xie family girl died at the bottom of the well. Or he died outside and was thrown into the well. If he died directly at the bottom of the well, then there might be something happening next door to Chu Qi. If he died outside and was thrown into the well, then who? You can’t tell which day you were thrown into the well. You can’t just stick to Chu Qi.”

"Mr. Song, do you know Miss Xie?" Gu Xin suddenly asked.

"Huh? I don't know him." Song Yi was stunned and then said.

"Then how do you know it's a girl from the Xie family? It seems like no one told you that the deceased's surname was Xie just now, right?" Gu Xin looked at Song Yi's face and asked.

Mrs. Song also glanced at Song Yi.

"Oh, Your Highness, the student doesn't know the girl from the Xie family, but the student knows the master of the Xie family." Song Yi scratched his head and said honestly, "Mr. Xie was once a classmate of the student, and the master of the Xie family was often invited to the academy. Thank you The young master went to the Royal Academy last year, and the students didn’t see much of Mr. Xie.”

"Oh, that's it! I thought you knew Miss Xie and deliberately said you didn't know her!" Gu Xin smiled.

"To be fair to the princess, this son of a commoner's wife is just a boring gourd. He is very shy. He can't even tell a girl apart from a girl in an alley, let alone acquaintance with girls outside. In the past, when the Zhu family and the Xie family wanted to marry each other, When he saw Madam Zhu, who was still a girl, she ran back to me and told me that Xiao Ru’s appearance had changed! Isn’t this a complete misidentification of the person? Cough cough cough cough…” After Mrs. Song finished speaking, she planned to laugh, but she coughed again. Quickly drink from the cup.

"Oh, that's it! Then Mrs. Song, Master Song, in the past few days from the seventh day of the Lunar New Year to yesterday when the Liang family decided to rent the yard next door, was there anything going on next door?" Gu Xin asked again.

Mother and son looked at each other, then shook their heads.

Seeing this, Gu Xin stopped asking any more questions and just reminded them to tell the people in the Yamen if they remembered anything.

After giving instructions, he stood up and prepared to leave. Suddenly he saw the flowers on the table again and asked with a smile: "Mrs. Song is not in good health. It seems that these flowers were picked only three or four days ago. They must have been picked by Mr. Song! Capital City There don’t seem to be any wild flowers like this.”

Song Yi said: "Students don't know if they are available in the capital, but they are in our academy. The students looked at them two days ago and they looked good. I remembered that my mother liked them, so I picked them back."

Gu Xin nodded, glanced at the embroidery basket beside the bed without leaving any trace, then said goodbye and left.

Song Yi sent Gu Xin out. Mrs. Song looked at the flowers on the table and then at the embroidery basket on the bedside, her expression slightly changed.

She coughed again.

After Gu Xin heard this in the yard, she asked Song Yi not to see her off. It was only a few steps away anyway: "Master Song, remember to take the medicine tomorrow morning, and then boil it for Mrs. Song to drink, and bring the doctor with her by the way. After drinking, After taking the medicine, you must remember to ask the doctor to check on Mrs. Song. Mrs. Song’s illness is not an ordinary ailment. She needs to increase or decrease the medicine from time to time, so don’t be careless.”
