Chapter 40 Can’t think of a name

Senior sister Yuan Xi had heard the commotion a long time ago, and as soon as she walked out of the door, Lin Qi ran into her arms.

Yuan Xi thought Lin Qi was really frightened, so she touched the back of Lin Qi's head and held her in her arms.

Her jade-like face was stained with a cold look, and she asked the maid, "What happened?"

After shouting for so long, everyone around him had already been awakened.

The little maid's sanity also recovered slightly.

Her voice trembled as she said: "This morning I was fetching water in the yard next door to prepare for cooking, and suddenly I found a soaked corpse in the well... It looked like, like, Wei Chongfu."

"Wei Chongfu?" Yuan Xi asked subconsciously.

Lin Qi helplessly held her forehead.

The next second, I heard the maid say: "He is the husband's maid that the master of the house loves most recently... He, his face is still black, as if he has been poisoned."

The maid thought about it very seriously. After hearing this, Yuan Xi also realized that this matter might involve the secrets of the Luo family, and it was indeed not something she, an outsider, could hear.

Now that I have heard everything I shouldn't have heard, I can no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb.

"Let's go next door and have a look."

Yuan Xi lowered her head and looked at Lin Qi. Lin Qi snorted twice and continued to shout, "Senior sister, let's not go, okay? It sounds so scary."

Senior sister Yuan Xi put her hand on her forehead and acted like a coquettish Lin Qi. She really had no resistance.

She and Lin Qi had a spiritual connection, and she patted Lin Qi meaningfully.

"I'm afraid it won't work. I guess Master Luo will send someone to invite him soon."

As expected, it was as expected by Senior Sister Yuan Xi. As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Zhou came to invite someone with a polite face and took the maid away by the way.

Lin Qi and Yuan Xi were sipping tea and smelling the fragrance in the reception room, feeling a little helpless while relaxing.

A quarter of an hour ago, the Luo family sent someone to ask gently about what happened in the morning, which was regarded as recording the confessions of Lin Qi and Yuan Xi.

After asking, he left, leaving the two of them alone to rest here.

Not long after, the head of the Luo family came over with someone.

The smile on her face was as warm and kind as ever, and she apologized as soon as she came up, "I shocked the two little friends. What happened today was really an accident."

Senior Sister Yuan Xi stood up and returned the greeting, saying with a bit of embarrassment: "I can't say I was shocked, but I originally wanted to say goodbye to Aunt Luo, but now it's hard for us to say so."

It seemed like I had left on purpose at this time.

But if he continued to stay here, Yuan Xi was afraid that he would really get involved in other people's family affairs, so he took retreat as an advance and said these words.

The head of the Luo family was surprised: "Why are you leaving so soon? Is it possible that you are really frightened by what happened today?"

As he said this, the head of the Luo family showed a look of sadness and helplessness, "There is a beloved husband in my backyard who is very arrogant. I said a few words to him yesterday and he couldn't think of throwing himself into the well. I didn't expect that he would startle the two little friends.

.”

It doesn't matter what the truth is, as long as Lin Qi and Yuan Xi believe it.

Yuan Xi: "It's not because of this incident."

"We came to Mincheng to accept a mission. We need to go to the Mincheng Affairs Hall to get the seal stamped at the specified time, otherwise we will be punished. Yesterday, I and my junior sister had discussed that we would say goodbye today, but we didn't expect that this would happen to us.

"

Lin Qi pulled Yuan Xi's clothes and asked timidly: "Aunt Luo, if junior brother wants to stay at home for two more days, senior sister and I will go ahead and he can follow two days later."

The head of the Luo family did not force him to stay, he smiled grandly and waved his hand.

"The mission is important, so I can't force you to stay. Since Luo Ci is on the mission with you, he naturally wants to go with you. I will ask them to prepare a car today to take you safely to Mincheng."

The head of the Luo family is very capable of action. He agreed in the morning and arranged everything by noon.

When Luo Ci was stuffed into the carriage, he was still stunned.

After a while, he asked belatedly: "Are you leaving so soon?"

Lin Qi said gloomily, "What else? Do you still want to live in your house for another year and a half?"

"Third Junior Brother, you forgot about me and Senior Sister as soon as you got home, aren't you too happy?!"

Luo Ci was so frightened by Lin Qi's sinister tone that his hair stood on end. He completely lost his previous aura, "Second, Second Senior Sister, why are you like this?"

As he spoke, he moved closer to Senior Sister Yuan Xi.

"What's wrong with me?" Lin Qi asked quietly.

Before she was about to complain about Luo Ci, there was a knock on the car door.

The door opened, revealing a young man with a clear and gentle face. He looked about thirty years old and exuded a bookish air.

Luo Ci's eyes lit up and he jumped forward excitedly, "Dad! You are finally back!"

Feng Juan gently stroked Luo Ci's head with a loving smile on his face, "I heard that you are back. My father sent people on the road all night, and finally we caught up."

Luo Ci smiled stupidly at first, but after a while, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

"Dad, I'm going to Mucheng soon, but Aniang insists that I go now. I can obviously stay for two more days!"

He had a drooped face, "With my cultivation level, if you follow me, I'm sure I will hold back my senior sister. Why is Aniang so anxious to drive me away! Does she not like me anymore?!"

"How could that happen?!" Feng Jun chuckled and said, "Your mother-in-law likes you so much that she asked you to leave now. She doesn't want you to stay at home and waste your time."

Feng Jun coaxed him for a long time and finally coaxed Luo Ci.

He greeted Lin Qi and Yuan Xi with a smile, spoke politely and had a gentle and approachable attitude.

Before leaving, I quietly gave Luo Ci two bags, which smelled a little sweet.

"Don't let your grandma see it, otherwise I will definitely punish you again. Eat it after you leave Luo City, and remember to share it with your two senior sisters."

Luo Ci nodded obediently and suddenly said, "Dad, Uncle Wei is dead. He was found out this morning. Auntie said that she said a few words to him, and he jumped into a well and committed suicide in anger. What should the third brother do?

"

Feng Jun didn't even move his brows, and looked at Luo Ci with loving eyes, "Your third brother is your mother's biological child, so he will be fine."

Luo Ci still wanted to ask, but Feng Juan had already spoken in advance.

"Don't get involved in family affairs and concentrate on your cultivation. Dad is waiting for you to become stronger and come back to inherit the Luo family."

Luo Ci seemed to listen particularly to Feng Jun's words, and immediately shut up and stopped asking.

When the car flew into the air, Luo Ci opened the baggage, and inside were bags of delicate and sweet snacks.

He pinched a piece and gave it to Senior Sister Yuan Xi, and then gave another piece to Lin Qi. He took a piece and ate it himself. After taking two mouthfuls, big teardrops fell down.

Yuan Xi pinched the cake and touched his head gently.

Lin Qi took a bite of the pastry, and the sweet and soft texture spread in her mouth, but she couldn't help but think about the Luo family in her mind.

Commit suicide by throwing yourself into a well?

She clearly remembered that the maid said that Wei Chongfu's face turned black and he looked like he was poisoned.

Moreover, the row where Lin Qi and the others live is a guest room.

The family members of the Luo family went to the guest room and jumped into the well in the middle of the night to commit suicide. Is this too deliberate?

This chapter has 2,000 words. I will work harder later and try to add another 1,000 words, so that all the debts can be paid off.
