Back in the elegant room on the east side of the second floor, Lin Jinxiao and Hu Maoxi were sitting at the tea table talking, while Liu Shuyang was sitting on the small couch in the corner in silence, looking listless.
Seeing Chu Nanzhi's figure, the two gradually stopped talking. Hu Maoxi took a sip of tea and asked with concern: "How is it? What did Mrs. Chu gain from being in Zhu County Cheng's room?"
"Grandpa Hu, we found a lot of hair in Zhu County Cheng's room."
Si Baolin Ruijia took the lead to walk up to Hu Maoxi and replied in a very cordial manner.
"hair?"
Hu Maoxi looked confused: "What does this have to do with the murder of Zhu Xiancheng?"
"It doesn't matter."
Chu Nanzhi answered casually and walked to the two of them. Seeing that Hu Maoxi's expression had recovered a lot, he couldn't help but said happily: "It seems that Mr. Hu is recovering well."
"Thanks to Mrs. Chu, I drank two bowls of medicine and feel much better now."
Hu Maoxi beamed with joy, looking at this beautiful woman, the more he looked at her, the more admirable she became: "Ms. Chu is indeed a divine person. Not only is her ability to reason about the case amazing, but her medical skills are also so superb. I heard that our county's Hongwen
The old doctors at the hospital all worshiped you as their teacher."
"Ahem, it's just an old man and a peasant woman joking around. It can't be taken seriously."
Chu Nanzhi covered her mouth and spoke with embarrassment and humility.
At this time, the boys in the post house brought dinner in again and placed it on the table. Lin Jinxiao handed the chopsticks to several people and was about to pick up the food for the four treasures. Hu Maoxi frowned and quickly stopped him:
"Brother Lin Xian"
"It doesn't matter."
A slight smile appeared on Lin Jinxiao's lips: "Everyone can eat tonight's meal with confidence."
Hu Maoxi looked at the table of dishes with lingering fear but still couldn't work up his appetite.
Chu Nanzhi realized that he was scared out of his wits by the afternoon meal, and patiently explained: "Master Hu is an official of the imperial court. Even if they intend to harm you, they don't have the guts. What happened in the afternoon was just a misunderstanding."
When Hu Maoxi saw Lin Jinxiao putting the shredded vegetables into his mouth, he immediately felt relieved. He stood up and said, "Then I'd better go back to the guest house, so I won't disturb you and your wife."
"Okay, then I'll give it to you."
Chu Nanzhi also stood up.
"No need, no need."
Hu Maoxi stopped her and walked straight out of the house.
Si Bao's little eyes blinked, looking at the dishes that his father kept putting into the bowl, he turned his head and asked with fear on his face: "Mom, is this dish really edible?"
"Of course, your father"
Chu Nanzhi said enthusiastically, looking at the gentle face inadvertently, and suddenly felt that she was the same kind of person as him, and they maintained a tacit understanding in everything. It was a bit incredible.
She stopped what she was about to say and then said, "But we have to wash our hands first and then eat."
After saying this, he took Sibao to wash his hands in the wooden bucket filled with water, and helped Sibao scrub his wet little hands. The little guy ran up to Lin Jinxiao and sat down happily, and happily ate the delicious food in the bowl.
Chu Nanzhi sat back at the dining table, glanced at her little son-in-law who was dying on the couch, and said, "Shu Yang, you can come and eat too."
"Sister, I don't want to eat."
Liu Shuyang stood up resolutely, murmuring in his heart: I regretted not listening to the eldest sister this afternoon, ah, just because I listened to the eldest sister, I ate all the dishes on the table and paid a heavy price for it.
My stomach is still cramping to this day.
"Sister, I'm going back to my room to rest first."
After Liu Shuyang finished speaking, he looked at Lin Jinxiao silently and said in a somewhat unspeakable voice: "Brother-in-law, someone just died in this post house. I'm a little scared. You are here tonight."
Before he could finish expressing his intention, Lin Jinxiao gave him a cold look and said, "Get out."
Liu Shuyang closed his eyes boredly and immediately walked out of the house angrily.
Lin Jinxiao casually took a bite of vegetables into his mouth, and while chewing slowly, he secretly looked at the woman in front of him out of the corner of his eye.
When I saw her today, she looked haggard. At that time, I thought that it must be because she had not slept with him in her arms these past few days, so she was tossing and turning and unable to sleep.
It was really hard on her.
He was also afraid that she would be shy. Thinking of this, Lin Jinxiao slowly put down his chopsticks and said vaguely: "Tonight?"
"I will take Si Bao to sleep here tonight. You don't have to worry as long as I stay with her."
Chu Nanzhi replied without thinking.
"oh."
Lin Jinxiao picked up the chopsticks again and continued to pick up vegetables.
Si Bao turned to look at Chu Nanzhi and asked weakly: "Mom, don't we sleep with daddy?"
"Need not."
Lin Jinxiao was the first to answer: "Si Bao, you and your mother go to sleep in the back room, and my father will be watching you on the couch outside."
Si Bao blinked his small black eyes: "Aren't you afraid, Dad?"
"Daddy is not afraid of anything."
Just afraid. Momo murmured in his heart, Lin Jinxiao looked at the mother and daughter with warm eyes, and there was a warmth in his eyes: "Eat quickly, your mother will go to court tomorrow."
"Um."
Little Si Bao lay back on the table and ate seriously.
After that, the boys of the post house came in to clean up the house and changed the warm water. Chu Nanzhi scrubbed Si Bao's body and changed Lin Jinxiao's medicine. After washing, he took the little guy to the back bedroom to sleep.
Although the environment of the post house was much better than the conditions in Duanlong Mountain and Sunjiacun, she could not fall asleep as she tossed and turned while lying in bed thinking about things related to the case.
Listening to the even breathing coming from around her, she gently pushed away Si Bao's little hand on her shoulder. After confirming again that the little guy had fallen asleep peacefully, she quietly stood up and wanted to go out for some air.
Quietly, he opened the two-layer door curtains, and under the weak light beside his desk, a cold figure immediately came into view.
Hearing the commotion here, Lin Jinxiao calmly covered the things on his desk, then slowly raised his head and looked at her as if nothing had happened.
The moment the two people's eyes met, Lin Jinxiao smiled, patted his side gently, then moved to the side, signaling Chu Nanzhi to come over.
"Why don't you rest?"
Chu Nanzhi realized that he was writing something.
But since he didn't want him to know, he didn't ask for trouble and sat down next to him as if he didn't see anything.
Lin Jinxiao smiled calmly at her: "There are still some things to deal with. After that, we will rest."
After a pause, there was a faint look of pride in his eyes: "What about you?"
"I?"
Chu Nanzhi gradually showed a bitter look on his face.
Although the previous cases were complicated and confusing, they were very simple upon analysis.
But this time, she knew that Sun Wuji had been wronged, but she still had no clue about it, and there were still many confusions waiting for her to solve.
Lin Jinxiao saw that she had a sad face, which seemed to be different from what he expected. It seemed that she was not here to beg him to sleep with her.
After thinking about it, he immediately realized that she must be worried about the confrontation in court tomorrow, so he had to put aside the disappointment in his heart and comforted him: "Tomorrow is just the beginning, you don't have to worry, what should be anxious at this time is
