He Tiantian said with a smile: "I bought this because I want you to help me make clothes. Summer is about to come, but I have gained a lot of weight and I can no longer wear the clothes I wore last year..."
"Let's make some clothes, done!" Aunt Jiang spread her hands towards Hong Lu, "Bring it here!"
But He Tiantian hadn't finished what he said, "Mom, how can I have two pieces of clothing? I am a general now, and I have many stylish clothes, so I have to make eight or ten pieces..."
Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Jiang's face already smelled bad.
But He Tiantian continued: "When you finish these ten or eight pieces, it will probably be autumn soon, and then you will arrange ten or eight pieces of autumn clothes for me..."
Aunt Jiang's face turned green. As she hurried out, she said: "You are so beautiful! You are not short of money now! Go and buy it!"
Looking at her hurried away figure, He Tiantian and Hong Lu looked at each other and smiled.
After pushing Aunt Jiang away, only Paopao was left in the room, and now the two of them could talk.
Hong Lu stepped forward and lowered his voice: "Madam, as you expected, those two people really went to visit Li's grave."
"Did you hear anything?"
"I heard Li Tianbao say, tell Mrs. Li not to blame Li Dabao."
He Tiantian suddenly became alert, "Is it really Li Dabao?"
Hong Lu frowned and said: "But he seems to have said something. If you want to blame it, blame yourself. Now that you are dead, some things are rotten in my stomach..."
He Tiantian's mouth twitched, "Is there something bloody going on in this family?"
"What? Bullshit?" Hong Lu looked at her blankly.
He Tiantian smiled awkwardly, "I wonder if their families have any strange relationships..."
"A strange relationship?" Hong Lu frowned and thought hard, "Could it be that Li is Li Tianbao's cousin? But that's not right. Isn't Li's name Yu Jiaoniang?"
This is probably the most outrageous thing that Hong Lu can think of.
He Tiantian quickly changed the subject, "Go on, what else?"
"There's nothing else." Hong Lu was successfully diverted by her, "Madam, I think there must be something wrong with Su Jiao!"
"Yes! There must be something wrong! If this matter is found out, I think Luo Ping, the prefect, will no longer be able to do his job." He Tiantian said with burning eyes.
"Thank you, madam!" Hong Lu looked at her gratefully, "otherwise, not only us, but many people would have been wronged!"
He Tiantian looked at her seriously and said, "No need to thank me, you can quietly follow the Li family and his son, especially Li Dabao. You will also be a great contributor to Luo Ping's defeat in the future!"
From that day on, Hong Lu went out all day long under the pretext of going to the embroidery shop to order summer clothes for He Tiantian.
Aunt Jiang is quite happy to not have to make clothes all year round.
Facts have proved that Hong Lu is indeed talented at inquiring about things, and he even found out about Li Dabao's blind date.
This time Li Dabao fell in love with a peasant girl whose family background was average, so when he heard that Li Dabao was willing to pay a betrothal gift of twenty taels of silver, he was very happy at first.
But on the day of meeting, the girl was not happy.
"That's because this girl asked someone to inquire about Li Dabao the day before. Guess what? There's something Su didn't tell you!" Hong Lu said with a gossipy face.
"Oh? What's the matter?" He Tiantian asked quickly.
Hong Lu laughed and said, "Ms. Li doesn't follow the rules of women. Almost every family in Tianyuan Lane has heard that Mrs. Li has a concubine! The girl said that her family's family tradition is not right, so she doesn't allow it!"
"Oh? Could it be a murder of love?" He Tiantian frowned and thought hard.
Hong Lu shook his head, "I also asked around, and everyone said that Mr. Li is usually gentle and virtuous. Apart from helping sell steamed buns, he never even leaves the house, and Li Tianbao and his son rarely go out."
"So, you think there's something wrong with this rumor?"
"No, not only are there problems with the rumors, but there is also a problem with Li Dabao's betrothal gift!"
He Tiantian seemed to have thought of something, but she said nothing and just listened to Hong Lu.
Hong Lu's analysis was clear: "The Li family sells steamed buns, which means they have enough to live on. Where did they get the twenty taels as a betrothal gift? Moreover, the Li family and his son knew about this, so they should be very angry, but they didn't say anything.
explain."
After she analyzed it, He Tiantian nodded, "Let's do this. I'll find someone to check the rumors here, and you can go find out how Li Dabao got this sum of money."
As for Li's concubine, He Tiantian can find out if he goes to Su and asks.
But the door of Su's house in Tianyuan Lane was locked, and Mrs. Su was not there.
He Tiantian asked his neighbors and found out that Su had collected a pig in the past two days and went to sell the meat early in the morning.
As long as you can do things, it means you have hope of living. He Tiantian had always been worried whether Su would die in depression.
Su set up a stall on the street. Although she didn't look very good, she was much more energetic than before.
It's a pity that her business is not very good. There are not many customers in front of the stall, but customers from the meat stall next to her come and go.
One pig only had some water left, but Su's had more than half of it left.
Come to think of it, Su Jiao was convicted of murder and was also involved in the business.
He Tiantian stepped forward and said with a smile: "Auntie, how much money do these meats cost in total?"
Mrs. Su raised her head and saw it was He Tiantian. A smile suddenly appeared on her slightly sad face, "It's you! If you want to eat meat, why are you so polite to me? I'll deliver it to your house right now! No need to pay for it!"
"
"No! If you don't accept the money, I won't want it." He Tiantian said with a smile, "There are many people in the academy, and they would have bought it. I want these, and I will charge as much as I need. I will buy them from you later."
"
"This...why is this so embarrassing?" Su's face was full of guilt, "I have already troubled you a lot..."
"I have something to ask you." He Tiantian changed the subject, "Let's talk while walking."
Mrs. Su hurriedly agreed, closed the stall and followed He Tiantian.
He Tiantian said bluntly: "Auntie, I want to ask you if there are any rumors about Mr. Li?"
Su Shi was startled for a moment, "She is already deceased. I didn't want to tell her right or wrong. But since you asked, I will tell you."
Mr. Li is timid and rarely talks much. She doesn't look like a thief.
There was no rumor that she had a concubine before. The rumors only came out a few days before her death.
"I heard it during a quarrel at his house. It seemed that the man was delivering noodles to his house. But I was quite puzzled. Every time his house had more than ten bags of noodles, men had to carry them. I saw
Yes, it was the father and son who moved every time, and Mrs. Li seemed to have never spoken to that person..."
After all, Mrs. Li's body had not recovered yet, and she was already out of breath after pushing the cart for a while.
He Tiantian helped her push the cart and said, "Do you know the noodle delivery guy?"
