"Of course it's true..." Chan'er replied, "Cousin, let's finish the meal first, and we'll talk about those things later."
After saying that, Chan'er concentrated on eating the food and did not say another word to Qu Ran'er.
Qu Ran'er wanted to ask but didn't dare, so she had to speed up, put rice and vegetables on it, and started eating at an unprecedented speed.
While eating, Qu Raner thought happily in her heart that since Zhu Haoran had been captured, her money would probably have been recovered as well, and the crisis in the restaurant would be over safely!
Suddenly, Chan'er put down her bowl and chopsticks, looked at Qu Ran'er with an unhappy face, and said accusingly: "Cousin, can you stop eating so voraciously, as if you were a starving ghost reincarnated?"
Upon hearing this, Qu Raner was stunned with her bulging cheeks. She felt that it was neither chewing nor chewing...
After forcibly swallowing the food in his mouth, Qu Ran'er carefully apologized: "Sister, don't be angry. It's my cousin's fault that has affected you..."
"Slower!"
Chan'er glanced at Qu Ran'er unhappily, then picked up the bowl and chopsticks again and started eating slowly.
After this, Qu Raner no longer dared to eat rudely, and took every bite with special care and gentleness.
It took Chan'er a full two-quarters of an hour to finish her dinner, while Qu Raner had finished eating a quarter of an hour ago. The rest of the time passed in a seemingly patient but actually anxious time.
Seeing Chan'er take out a handkerchief and wipe her mouth, Qu Raner asked: "Sister, where is Zhu Haoran being held? Can you take me to see him quickly?"
Chan'er looked at Qu Ran'er and said calmly: "Cousin, we just had dinner and it's not advisable to move around too much. I'll ask someone to carry him here..."
Carry it over?
Qu Ran'er was startled, and immediately thought that he probably caught Zhu Haoran and beat him up, so he was seriously injured and could no longer walk.
At this time, Chan'er said to the outside: "Here, go and carry Zhu Haoran to the yard."
"Yes, ma'am." A male servant agreed and did as he was told.
Then, Chan'er stood up and said to Qu Ran'er: "Cousin, let's go out and wait, just in time to get some fresh air."
"Okay, okay." Qu Raner agreed immediately, stood up and walked out of the dining room.
At this time, lanterns had been hung on the corridor outside, illuminating the courtyard very brightly.
Although the styles of these lanterns are the same, the patterns on them are not the same. Some are landscapes, some are flowers and birds, all of them are diverse and full of charm.
Qu Ran'er stood on the edge of the corridor, waiting and looking at the patterns on the lanterns. She couldn't help but said with envy: "Sister, the life you are living now is a real life."
After hearing this, Chan'er said, "If my cousin likes it, you can move here to live with me..."
Qu Raner was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Sister, stop joking, how can I be so lucky, haha..."
Chan'er smiled slightly, nodded slowly and said, "Well, that's true!"
Qu Raner felt embarrassed again for a moment, feeling annoyed but not daring to complain.
After waiting for a short while, the two male servants who had been in charge of the maid just appeared. They carried a wooden board, and a person lay on the wooden board, but this person was covered from head to toe by white cloth.
"This...this is...sister...how..."
Qu Ran'er was frightened when she saw the person covered with white cloth, and she even lost her temper.
The two male servants placed the body in the center of the yard, then bowed and left.
Chan'er looked at the human-shaped white cloth and said to Qu Ran'er unusually calmly: "Cousin, go and have a look to see if this person is the Zhu Haoran you mentioned. Don't make a mistake."
"He... is he dead?" Qu Ran'er asked fearfully.
Chan'er nodded matter-of-factly and said, "Of course he's dead, otherwise why would he be brought up like this?"
After saying that, Chan'er urged again: "Cousin, you'd better go and see this person first to see if it's Zhu Haoran you're looking for."
Qu Ran'er was anxious to get his money and belongings back, so he had to bravely step forward, stretched out his trembling hands, and slowly pulled off the white cloth covering the body's head.
When the pale face under the white cloth was revealed, Qu Raner was so frightened that she covered her mouth with both hands, looking horrified.
Chan'er walked over slowly and asked, "Cousin, is this the right person?"
Qu Ran'er nodded quickly several times, then turned around and asked: "Sister, why is this happening? How...how could someone die? How could you..."
Chan'er looked at Qu Ran'er with a serious face and said seriously: "Cousin, you don't think it was our people who killed him, do you?"
"No...isn't it?" Qu Ran'er was very surprised and even stuttered.
Chan'er shook her head and said: "Cousin, Zhu Haoran's death has nothing to do with us. When they found Zhu Haoran, he was already dead in a forest outside the city. Judging from the death condition, he should have been strangled.
of!"
"Strangled to death?" Qu Ran'er asked in surprise.
Chan'er nodded and said, "Yes! Take a closer look at his neck. There is a very obvious strangulation mark."
Qu Ran'er immediately looked at Zhu Haoran's neck, and there was an obvious strangulation mark.
After being stunned for a moment, Qu Ran'er's expression suddenly changed and she asked urgently: "Cousin, where is my money? Have you seen my money?"
Chan'er silently took out something wrapped in a cloth handkerchief from her sleeve, handed it to Qu Ran'er and said, "I searched all over my body and only found these."
Qu Raner nervously took the cloth and opened it with a slight trembling. It was full of jewelry that Zhu Haoran had swept away, but there were no silver notes or silver ingots.
"Where's the banknote? Where's my money? Sister, where's my money? Why is this all I have left?"
Qu Ran'er suddenly became excited, grabbed Chan'er's wrist and asked urgently.
"Cousin, please let me go, it hurts!" Chan'er immediately wanted to break away, but the emotional Qu Ran'er hurt her.
But Qu Ran'er, who was a little out of control, couldn't hear Chan'er's words at all, and continued to hold Chan'er's hand tightly, chasing after his money repeatedly.
When the two male servants in the distance saw this, they immediately rushed over and separated Qu Ran'er and Chan'er after a tug.
Chan'er frowned and rubbed her wrist, and said unhappily: "Cousin, I really don't know where your banknote is. When they found Zhu Haoran's body, they only found a bag of jewelry, no silver, and even more
No banknote!"
But in Qu Ran'er's mind, she thought that the people who found Zhu Haoran had embezzled the money, leaving only some insignificant jewelry for business purposes.
The next moment, Qu Ran'er suddenly knelt in front of Chan'er, crying and begging to Chan'er: "Sister, I beg you, out of the love between our sisters, please help me get the money."
Come back, you don’t have to come back, you don’t have to come back, just enough money to save the restaurant is enough! Otherwise, I, I, I...
