Xu Ruoshui turned her head away to cover up her gaffe and said, "When a person dies, besides the bones that won't rot, there will always be other things that won't rot. Have you checked everything in the well?"
If Meng Tianqi can get it, if other things can be found in the well to prove that the skeleton is Bai Meilan's, the matter will come to light. As for whether Bai Meilan committed suicide by jumping into the well or committed suicide, they will definitely find out clearly.
Meng Tianbo stared at Xu Ruoshui blankly. With a simple question, she could find the key point. When a person dies, his clothes will be eaten away by insects. As long as he is a woman, he will wear jewelry, gold, silver and gems on his body or on his bun or even around his neck.
Unless something like this is cast by fire, it will still maintain its original appearance. She is indeed not a simple woman. Whether this kind of intelligence is good or bad, he was blinded for a while and couldn't tell clearly.
"Are there flowers on my face?" It was her turn to ask.
"I will check what you said." He said simply.
The water was already boiling on the small stove, and the two of them reached out to lift the pot at the same time. Unexpectedly, the boiling water rushed out from the spout, and a shot of boiling water spilled on the back of Xu Ruoshui's hand. In the blink of an eye, it turned red.
A big chunk.
"Why are you so careless? It doesn't matter what water you bring when I make tea. Does it hurt?" Meng Tianbo picked up her hand, took a few breaths, looked at the back of her hand which was getting redder and redder, and shouted outside the curtain.
He said, "Yan'er, go to Mrs. Hu and ask for some snow lotus cooling ointment. Go quickly~~~" The anxious look was clearly revealed.
Xu Ruoshui did feel a burning pain. He was indeed in a hurry and didn't see the boiling water coming out. However, his hand was pinched like this, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart. He pumped his hand twice and did not pull it back.
"You've been permed like this and you're still so dishonest. What if it's your face or other parts?" He put on a face that looked a bit smelly.
"Come, come, young master, the snow lotus cooling ointment you want," Yan'er ran in with a purple sand porcelain bottle in her hand. When she saw the two holding hands, she laughed twice, put down the porcelain bottle, and said "chirp"
He ran out of the inner room again.
"I can do it myself." Xu Ruoshui blushed and took the first step to take the porcelain bottle, but his hand was still held and he didn't know how to open it.
Meng Tianbo showed her embarrassment, took the porcelain bottle over effortlessly, bit off the wooden stopper neatly, put his thumb on the mouth of the bottle and shook it twice, and then gently applied it on the back of Xu Ruoshui's hand. She suddenly felt
There was a burst of coolness and the burning sensation subsided a lot.
"Much better," she withdrew her hand and changed the subject, "Let's talk about the skeleton again."
The originally warm scene suddenly turned into a heavy atmosphere.
Meng Tianbo suddenly felt irritated. Her hand was so soft and boneless. He really wanted to rub it for a while, but she had already pulled away her hand and was unwilling to be so close to him. "I'll go check it out when it gets dark. I'll wait for any news."
I will naturally tell you."
Xu Ruoshui whispered "Yeah", but in fact her mind was not on the bones at all. The feeling of being held by his hand was really completely different from that of Meng Tianqi. Although it was cold, she did not dislike or resent it at all. On the contrary, because
Her heart beat wildly at her touch.
What's going on? Her thoughts were confused and she didn't know where to turn her eyes.
"Let's have tea." The two said at the same time and looked at each other.
The water in the purple gauze teapot had been boiled countless times. Meng Tianbo threw a few pieces of black tea into the tea cup and poured water into it until the transparent water slowly turned reddish brown. Needless to say, its fragrance
, the smoke curled up and the aroma lingered on the tip of the nose, "This tea is really fresh, the color is so special."
"This is the favorite black tea of our Hu people. It is a tea tree watered with snow water. After the tea leaves are picked, snow lotus flowers are added to it, steamed in a pot, kneaded ninety-nine and eighty-one times, and then put into a sealed box.
It has been hidden underground for a year before it can be brewed." Meng Tianbo explained.
Xu Ruoshui picked it up and took a sip. The tea was rich in fragrance and sweet and mellow in the mouth. The tea in Lincheng was really not comparable to it.
"It can also beautify the skin. My mother loves to drink this tea." He spoke a little more today than usual, "If you like it, I can ask Mother Hu to give you some."
Xu Ruoshui was stunned for a moment. Was he reminding himself that this face needed to be taken good care of? "No, no, it's actually quite good now." She was a little sad. Even after drinking this black tea, she probably looked like this.
It's hard to compare to his ex-wife Bai Meilan, "You drink slowly, I'll go out and take a look."
She avoided it, feeling a twinge of pain in her heart. Yan'er saw her expression was different and asked, "Young mistress, are your hands okay?"
"It's okay..." Xu Ruoshui looked at the red back of her hand and gently touched it with her other hand. She no longer felt the pain. She sat in the Nuange empty room for a while to calm down the strange and strange feeling in her heart.
As night fell, while having dinner, Yan'er said that Manager Wang was here to ask for a meeting. Xu Ruoshui looked at Meng Tianbo and saw that he was hiding the shrewdness in his eyes before letting Yan'er invite Manager Wang in.
"Mr. Wang, please sit down." Xu Ruoshui stood up and greeted with a smile, "Did dad have any orders?"
"Young Mistress, I said that Zi Yan will be able to enter the house tomorrow, so I asked the younger one to come over and talk to you." Mr. Wang bent down and bowed, and did not ask the elder to sit down. Instead, he was humble and polite, which was exactly the same as his wife Wang.
Mom is a little different.
"I'm really sorry that I bother you to go there in person for such a small matter." Xu Ruoshui thanked him politely.
"This is a small duty." Mr. Meng's words have been brought, and Manager Wang is going back.
"Yan'er delivers to Mr. Wang for me." Xu Ruoshui ordered, but as soon as he finished speaking, he heard him say, "Stay here, young lady, you don't have to be so polite." The people below all acted based on their faces, and Master Meng said to
This eldest son is partial to others, and everyone sees it. Even if the eldest young master is a fool, he doesn't dare to neglect it.
"Dad is here this afternoon, so I didn't ask any questions. Why did you ask Zi Yan to come back?" Meng Tianbo put down his chopsticks and asked seriously.
"We haven't seen each other for a few days. We, master and servant, have a chat," Xu Ruoshui replied succinctly.
"So simple?" His deep magnetic voice was full of doubt.
Xu Ruoshui picked up her rice bowl and gave him a silent reply. Now was not the time to tell him. She had to ask Zi Yan first, maybe she knew something.
After dinner, Meng Tianqi took Xiao Shunzi out, but did not come back until she took a rest. She only felt that in her sleep, someone was giving her hand medicine, with the same gentle gesture as Meng Tianbo before, but she suddenly waved and said,
"It's useless. No matter how beautiful your hands are, your face will still look like this."
