It has been a long time since people in Fengxiang County were so panic-stricken.
Nursing homes were set up in front of the houses of wealthy families, and there were not many women coming and going in the market.
Cao Ruwan died, and the delicate eldest lady Didi was kidnapped by thieves in her own yard, and lost her life in the blink of an eye.
The official of Fengxiang County led people to search the whole city, and finally found something strange in an abandoned alley not far from Cao's house. There were faint dark red blood stains on the old blue bricks, and what caught his eye over the low wall was a few pieces of blood.
A piece of oil paper cloth, everyone was shocked when they opened the oil paper cloth.
A strong smell of blood hit my face, and the scene that followed made me feel like I was in the Palace of Hell.
The sharp weapon was scratched from Cao Ruwan's throat to her lower abdomen. The long wound was like a gaping mouth, laughing at the world.
Her eyes were staring desperately, full of frightened expressions, and her expressions were distorted, as if people could see the pain, struggling, pleading, and crying, but it was of no use. In the end, all of them stayed at the place where she lost her life.
that moment.
Anyone who sees this feels a chill down their spine, as if there is a ghost following them, waiting for the opportunity to raise a knife and drop it.
"It's too awful."
After being frightened, some people began to vomit, and for a while no one dared to touch the body.
The Cao family was the first to receive the news. The uncle of the Cao family was worried about his sister and came over regardless. After just one look, his knees went weak and he fell to the ground. He has not come back to his senses until now.
The coffin in the Cao family compound was loud, and the coffin had been parked in the garden for a long time, but no one knew how to bury Miss Cao.
As soon as Ms. Cao entered the door, she saw Mrs. Cao being held tightly by someone.
"I want to see it no matter what, don't stop me, my sister Wan."
Seeing this, Cao Ruzhen hurriedly stepped forward to help: "Madam, you..."
Before she could finish her words, Mrs. Cao pushed Cao Ruzhen away. Cao Ruzhen staggered and fell to the ground. None of the servants next to her dared to step forward to help her.
Mrs. Cao looked ferocious, pointed at Cao Ruzhen and said sternly: "What happened that day? You were supposed to go to the garden, why did you go to Sister Wan instead?"
Cao Ruzhen's lips trembled as she explained: "That morning it happened that the curtains were being changed in the grandmother's room. The second wife asked me to go with the steward to avoid anything inappropriate. The second sister was afraid that I would be too busy, so she helped me pick flower branches in the garden."
She looked at Mrs. Cao Er beside her for help.
Mrs. Cao's second wife's eyes flashed. Now Mrs. Cao's heart was filled with anger. Anyone who went there would be set on fire. Although Ruzhen was usually good, it was not convenient for her to stand up for Ruzhen now, lest Cao Cao
The eldest lady holds a grudge.
The death of girl Wan was so tragic, no wonder the sister-in-law is like this.
Mrs. Cao Er shook her head, and the current situation would pass if Zhenrenren could do it.
Cao Ruzhen pursed her lips and stopped struggling.
Mrs. Cao was furious: "Sister Wan was killed by you. If I had known, I shouldn't have left you in the house. It doesn't count that you killed my fourth uncle. Now you've come to harm us again. I raised you like this."
For many years, you have been unwilling to say a word to you, but Sister Wan has saved your life for you."
Mrs. Cao's eyes turned red when she thought of her daughter's tragic situation. She wished it was a nightmare. Now standing in front of her was Ruwan: "Why are you so blind? My sister Wan is dead."
, others are living well."
Cao Ruzhen couldn't help but feel sad in her heart, tears streaming down her face.
Mrs. Cao couldn't see this even more. She stretched out her hand and hit Cao Ruzhen on the face: "I've already cried myself to death, and you won't give up."
Cao Ruzhen closed her eyes. Acceptance would make her situation better. This had been her habit for a long time. However, the familiar pain did not come, and she couldn't help but be surprised.
A fat hand held Mrs. Cao's wrist firmly.
Then there was a soft voice: "Madam, your hands are so white..."
The soft and waxy touch, something flashed through Feng Chu's mind, causing her to swallow involuntarily.
Mrs. Cao tried hard to pull her hand out, and the steward's mother next to her stepped forward to help. Unexpectedly, as soon as Fengxiao's hand was loosened, Mrs. Cao fell backwards while mixing garlic at her feet.
It immediately caused panic.
"Madam, have you found the murderer?" Xu Qinghuan glanced at Cao Ruzhen on the ground.
Before Mrs. Cao could say anything, several women had already surrounded Cao Ruzhen.
"These people I have are all good at questioning," Xu Qinghuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "The eldest lady is too embarrassed to force her to tell the truth out of favour, so why not leave her to me. This is also related to the reputation of our Xu family.
, I will find out carefully."
The woman next to her was ready to drag Cao Ruzhen away when she saw it.
"Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings," Mrs. Cao's second wife hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Ruzhen, this girl, did something wrong with her hands and feet. The eldest wife is also worried. She is just trying to scare her. How could she really do it?" If Ruzhen was attacked by Xu Qinghuan,
Interrogated as traitors, where do they want to put the Cao family's face?
"If you can't help me, don't make the eldest lady angry here," Mrs. Cao's second wife looked at Cao Ruzhen, "go over and accompany your grandmother!"
After Mrs. Cao's second wife spoke, the maid dared to step forward and help Cao Ruzhen up.
Cao Ruzhen saluted everyone, lowered her head and left quickly.
"Miss Xu," Mrs. Cao felt like she had been punched hard in the heart. She took a long time to catch her breath. This Xu Qinghuan didn't make enough trouble in the Xu family and even came over again. "The house is in a mess. Today
From now on...the Cao family...will not entertain guests for a while...I hope the eldest lady will understand...my...feelings of being a mother."
"Sister Wan is really sad," Xu Qinghuan raised his head slightly, "I brought people over as soon as I got the news. Now we should work with the Yamen to complete the official documents, properly handle Sister Wan's death, and let her rest in peace."
Mrs. Cao gritted her teeth and was about to refuse, when the steward came to report: "Madam, Mrs. Chang has disposed of the body of the eldest lady. The Yamen's marriage still needs to be written, and the body must be stored in the Yi Zhuang first.
Let our family get some incense burners and paper money, and go to the charity village to pay homage to the eldest lady first."
"Ms. Chang?"
Mrs. Cao followed the steward's gaze and saw that the crowd not far away slowly dispersed, and a woman in her thirties wearing a blue dress and a coarse cloth coat walked in quickly.
Everyone avoided her like a plague, but she didn't care as if it was commonplace. She walked straight to Xu Qinghuan and saluted: "It's ready, you can go and have a look."
Xu Qinghuan nodded and walked out.
Mrs. Cao's face changed drastically: "What are you going to do?"
"Go take a look in the alley," Xu Qinghuan's gaze passed across everyone's faces, "Is there anyone else with you?"
Seeing Xu Qinghuan leading the people away, Mrs. Cao's pale lips opened and closed and finally uttered two words: "Crazy, crazy, she is here to see a joke, did you see it?"
Her voice became shriller, but she was suddenly interrupted.
"Okay," Mr. Cao stood there with a gloomy face, "There are still many things waiting for you to take care of at home. What are you going to do with the children?"
Seeing her husband who was still in good spirits, Mrs. Cao's heart ached even more: "You don't love Sister Wan, do you?... She's dead... Sister Wan... You still have a concubine... You... You...
Of course I won’t be sad.”
"That's enough." Mr. Cao's eyes were full of anger and he grabbed Mrs. Cao's shoulders, "I don't know what the so-called woman is."
Seeing Mr. Cao leaving, Mrs. Cao was not willing to give up, so she immediately had someone help her and chased after him.
"Please explain to me clearly... Is it possible that... I am the only one who is sad for... Sister Wan..."
Following Mr. Cao all the way into the study room in the backyard, Mrs. Cao wanted to continue to curse, but found that the room was already full of people.
Mrs. Cao, Mr. Cao, and Mr. Cao all looked at her coldly with gloomy expressions.
Mrs. Cao suddenly panicked.
The servants retreated and the door was closed. Mr. Cao Er said in panic: "Did you see Sister Wan's appearance...it's him...it's him who's back."
…
In an alley not far from Cao's house.
Although Cao Ruwan's body has been removed, the blood stains on the ground are still there.
Xu Qinghuan walked all the way, and then squatted down not far away. There were a few ants on the ground moving things. What they were moving was a kind of white fine debris on the ground.
Like snack crumbs.
This situation seems familiar, because the chicks like to squat in the corner and steal food, which will attract a few ants.
But here it is surprising.
Could it be possible that someone was eating here while watching the tragic killing of Cao Ruwan.
