She dressed as a concubine and was targeted by the powerful brother.

The remains in front of her turned out to be that of Aunt Rong, which really surprised Fu Jiao.

She is a fake and has no feelings for the original owner's biological mother, but knowing that she has been buried alone in the Fu family for ten years still makes her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Originally, the investigation into the cause of death of the Fu family's remains was incidental, but now that the identity is known, I am afraid that I have to break the casserole and get to the bottom of it.

"According to my speculation, Rong...well, my mother must have offended someone during her lifetime, otherwise she would not have had her life money transferred and her life would have been in vain."

Fu Jiao took the opportunity to explain to Fu Rudi the silver ingot mentioned by Aunt Rong.

Others may be skeptical, but Fu Rudi is convinced of this.

Now, not only do we have to find out who wanted to kidnap Fu Jiao, we also need to find out who killed Fu Jiao's mother.

After pondering for a moment, Fu Rudi said: "I will help you inquire about the blood sedimentation matter."

"There's no rush for this moment."

After Fu Jiao finished speaking, she looked at the window where the cold wind was beating, wrapped her cloak tightly around her body, and urged: "Brother, let's go back to sleep."

Fu Rudi: "..."

go to bed.

Mention sleep again.

She really didn't realize how dangerous this statement was.

Fu Rudi was helpless and sighed: "I'm sleeping in the wing room today, you can go to the next door."

"How do you sleep here?"

Fu Rudi was in trouble for a long time, and finally said what he was thinking: "I know that last time you tried every means to prevent me from staying here because you knew that Aunt Rong's remains were here. But now it's clear... Even though you and I are brothers and sisters, we still avoid taboos. Some."

Fu Jiao frowned.

She is not from this world, so she is not bound by the rules here. But Fu Rudi really wanted to avoid suspicion with her, and she felt unspeakably disappointed.

"Brother, there is a reason why I won't let you sleep here." Fu Jiao spoke calmly, without any fuss, "Although the remains have been dug out, the octagonal well and the surrounding area have accumulated the grievances of the remains for ten years. No matter how strong your body and bones are, it will still be affected to some extent."

Fu Jiao stepped forward and held Fu Rudi's arm. She blinked her watery eyes and prayed: "Brother, trust me once. There is no need to avoid anything between you and me."

After saying this, she wanted to take Fu Rudi back to her room.

But Fu Rudi's legs seemed to have roots and he stood still, "Fu Jiao. This is not good."

He could no longer resist the impulse in his heart and agreed to her once. This time, he must not...

"elder brother!"

Fu Jiao stamped her feet.

She burst into tears, "What are you afraid of? Those two maids have been sent away, and no one dares to gossip behind their backs! Besides, this is my own home. Can't the two brothers and sisters talk by candlelight at night?"

As long as she cries, there is nothing Fu Rudi can't agree to.

Just sleeping on a bed and on the floor under the bed like last time, Fu Rudi gritted his teeth and said, "I don't mean to be afraid. I am afraid that your reputation will spread in the future and it will be bad for you."

"My reputation is just to find my husband's family. I said I will never marry in this life, so whether I am famous or not, it doesn't matter to me."

Fu Jiao was angry and dragged Fu Rudi to the main room next door.

On the beam.

Yan Ji looked at Fu Rudi with alert eyes.

She was in a state of confusion, wondering if this "big brother" would secretly come to Fu Jiao's bedside in the middle of the night again? If Fu Rudi is so ambiguous again, she will definitely have to tell Fu Jiao...

The night is dark. Yan Ji watched Fu Rudi's every move carefully from the beam.

Fortunately, Fu Rudi restrained himself extremely this night. He turned his back to Fu Jiao's bed, not looking at her cute and attractive sleeping face, and finally suffered until early morning.

Before dawn, Fu Rudi was dressed neatly.

Before leaving the house, he came to Fu Jiao's bedside and stared at her for a long time, but he didn't move closer to make any transgressive move. After a long while, he reluctantly left Yurongyuan.

Yan Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

When Fu Jiao woke up, the bed on the floor had been tidied up and placed neatly in the cabinet. There was no trace of anyone staying overnight last night.

After a while, Spring Star and Qiuyue came to wait for her to wake up in the morning.

Qiuyue deliberately took a few glances into the room, but didn't see anything special. She couldn't help but ask: "Fourth Miss, did the eldest son rest in the wing or somewhere last night? I can help you clean it up."

"No more cleaning."

Fu Jiao changed into a sky-green dress and put on a light goose-yellow plush cloak. She was bright and youthful, and more delicate than flowers.

She changed the subject: "By the way, did my brother leave early this morning?"

"Yes, Miss Fourth."

Chunxing explained: "The Liu family invites the eldest son to attend the snow viewing banquet, and the eldest son does not dare to neglect."

When Fu Jiao heard this, she also remembered it, "Oh, that's what happened."

Before Chunxing had time to answer, Qiuyue hurriedly added, "Yes, yes, the Liu family invited the eldest son to a snow feast. The eldest son attaches great importance to it, otherwise he wouldn't have made preparations so early." Qiuyue deliberately stepped forward, "By the way, Fourth Miss, do you know why Liu Mansion held this snow viewing banquet?"

Fu Jiao picked up the beads on the dressing table and tested them on her temples. She curled her lips and asked, knowingly: "I don't know, Qiuyue, please tell me."

Qiu Yue was full of ambition, as if she was deliberately embarrassing Fu Jiao, "Of course it is for the marriage of the most talented woman in the capital. It is said to be a snow feast, but in fact it is to choose a husband for the daughter of the Minister of War. The eldest son will definitely stand out among others." "

"That's true."

Fu Jiao pinned a green peony butterfly hairpin in her hair, looked left and right, and was very satisfied.

She stood up and sneered at Qiu Yue without hesitation: "My brother is a good person among men, and he looks down on lowly maids, you know?"

Qiuyue's expression froze.

Didn't you say that the fourth lady is weak and incompetent?

How come after getting along with her these past few days, she found that this fourth lady was simply the most difficult person in the world to get along with!

She was very angry when Fu Jiao revealed her thoughts. When she raised her head, she seemed to see a flash of red in Fu Jiao's eyes.

Qiuyue was startled, and when she looked carefully, she couldn't see anything clearly.

Now Qiuyue didn't dare to talk too much.

She lowered her head and remained silent.

Fu Jiao was lying when she said she wasn't angry.

Of course she knew what Fu Rudi was doing, but she had no position to stop him and could only sulk.

On the surface, she didn't care about Qiuyue's words, but on the inside, she was almost furious. So she couldn't help but use a luck charm to make everything go wrong for Qiuyue these days, and her teeth felt like her teeth were stuck when she drank cold water.

Fu Jiao understood Fu Rudi.

She and the Fu family were in the same situation, but Fu Rudi was Fu Zhenqing's eldest son and the star of the whole family.

Comparing his feelings, no matter how much Fu Rudi loved her, he could not break up with the Fu family because of her. Moreover, the post under the Minister of War is related to Fu Zhenqing's official career, and there will be no missing pieces of meat if he goes there.

Fu Jiao comforted herself for a while, not knowing where she was going, and wandered aimlessly on the street alone.
