Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 58

"No, I wasn't scared..." Gu Sixiao whispered, and after a while, she asked, "How did she die?"

Zhang Wu hesitated, seeing Sun Tiancang nodding at him, he licked his lips and said, "By the time I went upstairs, it was already too late, I can't save him, I heard..."

Seeing that the Chinese New Year was about to come, a murder case suddenly occurred, and the Yamen was also very angry. The head arrester on duty didn't go out, and directly sent Zhang Wu over to arrest him.

When Zhang Wu arrived at the place, he saw that the murderer was actually a delicate little girl, so he felt contemptuous at first.When Chunhua saw the police, she didn't make any noise, her madness seemed to be overdone, she just begged to let her go back to her room and change her clothes.

Seeing her disheveled clothes, Zhang Wu thought of her as a little girl, so he agreed.Who knew Chunhua went back to her room and didn't come down for a long time.He was afraid that the prisoner would run away like this, and he couldn't go into the room himself, so he had to send Mama Bai to see, but he heard Mama Bai's screams within half a cup of tea.

When he broke into the room, he saw a dead body dangling in the air.Mother Bai was paralyzed on the ground in shock, unable to even move...

Zhang Wu pounded his fist, and said the matter in a few words. He didn't want to elaborate on how to describe Chunhua, but he didn't want Gu Sixiao to suddenly ask: "She died a terrible death? Are her eyes closed?"

"Hanging, it hurts so much, and you can still close your eyes!" Zhang Wushun said, when Sun Tiancang coughed, he hurriedly changed his voice, "Well, I let that mother Bai grow up and bury her, although It’s a human crime, but death is the most important thing. It can’t really be thrown into a mass grave—ah, yes, I remember that she closed her eyes, and she closed her eyes as soon as she touched it.”

Gu Sixiao was silent.

This way of death is already considered, right?In prison, it will only be worse than this.On the day when the elder brother was put in prison, they tried their best to find out the news. The gossip that Gu Fu brought back frightened the entire family into nightmares.

"She still remembers it!" That's why she chose such a tragic way to leave, right?

Gu Sixiao lowered her eyes and stopped talking.Zhang Wu couldn't help but wink at Sun Tiancang, Sun Tiancang understood and followed him to the side.

"Tiancang, what is the relationship between our sister and that Chunhua? Give me a promise, can this matter stick to her?"

Although this case is not a big one, in the final analysis, when the prisoner died, it was his dereliction of duty, and he had to explain something when he returned to the yamen.Originally, Zhang Wu wanted to catch the last woman who had close contact with Chunhua to find out what happened, but now he can't really catch the younger sister's sister and go back to the yamen, can he?

Blinking his eyes, he looked at Sun Tiancang, although he couldn't feel any abnormality in this little junior brother's expression, but there was always a strange feeling in his heart.

Turning his face away, Sun Tiancang glanced at Gu Sixiao from a distance, and said without hesitation: "Of course it doesn't matter."

How could it not matter?If it wasn't for the gambling shop's debt collection, Wang Fu wouldn't have lured people to sell him, and he wouldn't have bumped into Lu Zhai, Chunhua's friend.

But such a thought just flashed through my mind.Sun Tiancang immediately thought in his heart: that bastard is to blame for himself!I have never seen a man as disgusting as him, and now that he is dead, he deserves it.

"Second senior brother, I just went shopping with my younger sister and saw a lot of people making noise from a distance, so I went to watch the excitement. It really has nothing to do with us."

"Look at the excitement! You too, what place is not good to take my little sister for a stroll, and you actually go to that kind of place! Let me tell you, you really..."

Shaking his head, Zhang Wu didn't even bother to scold, "Since it's okay, then hurry up and send the little girl back, it's getting dark, don't make any other troubles."

Sun Tiancang nodded, thought for a while and said: "The one inside is also a girl from the Gu family..."

"Yeah..." Zhang Wu frowned, "What's the matter this year, the person surnamed Gu violated Tai Sui? No matter whether it's Xi Gu or Dong Gu, as long as he sticks to their side, nothing good will happen! Forget it, let's go first, the one inside , if I asked, it really has nothing to do with her, then let her go."

"Thank you, Second Brother," Sun Tiancang thanked with a smile, turned around and pulled Gu Sixiao, and took her out without waiting for her to speak.

"Green radish..."

"You still care about her at this time?!" Sun Tiancang glared at her, and then said after a while: "My second senior brother is not a vicious person, and besides, there were so many people watching at that time! It wouldn't be wrong for Luluo, you just Go back with peace of mind, I will tell you if there is anything."

Knowing that this is the best way, Gu Sixiao didn't speak, and walked slowly into the shadows with her head down.

In the distance, a firework blooms in the sky, gorgeous and dazzling, but fleeting.

Gu Sixiao raised her head and watched silently for a while, then lowered her eyes, but a tear fell and fell into the dust.

Human life is like this firework, no matter how dazzling it is, it will disappear without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Pitiful?sad?Maybe both!But it was because her life was so fragile that she wanted to live a better life.

Back at Gu's house, it was already late.

Fortunately, after Caiyi became pregnant, Gu Yong no longer lived in the back study, so Gu Sixiao sneaked into the back garden without anyone noticing.

She had just entered the room, and before she could calm down, a dim light came on in the room.

Caiyi, who was sitting on the bed, stared at her bitterly, and cursed in a low voice: "Hua'er, you're getting bolder! Didn't you mean you just went out for a stroll with your brother and then came back? It's so late I just came back, what if someone finds out! I won’t help you bear such a crime..."

Looking at Caiyi, Gu Sixiao was a little dazed.

Although I only went out for one day, it seemed as long as a year.

"Dead, dead..." She whispered, vaguely remembering the day they entered Gu's house.

How long has it been? Things have changed.

"What are you talking about? Who's dead?" Caiyi stopped and looked at Gu Sixiao strangely.

Wiping the corners of her eyes, Gu Sixiao said lightly: "I ran into Luluo outside today."

"Oh," Caiyi raised her eyebrows and raised her voice, "Luluo is dead?! What happened? How could she die so well!"

"It's not Luluo, it's Wang Fu—it's Steward Fu, and Chunhua is dead."

Cutting the matter from the beginning to the end, and giving a general idea, naturally many details were not mentioned, Gu Sixiao pursed her lips and said in a hoarse voice: "I was scared to death..."

"Really," Caiyi squeezed her hands, not knowing what to say.

"How could such a thing happen? Steward Fu is really ruthless. Before, I thought that Chunhua would be dragged out, and I didn't know where she was reduced to, but I didn't expect that she would be sold to such a dirty place. So is Luluo. , she is still pregnant with his child! How could he be so ruthless, this man is more ruthless than a wolf..."

Wiping the corners of her eyes, Caiyi also felt hurt, "Although I have been beaten and scolded in the past, but now when I think of Luluo, the child who was shed, I feel like there is a piece missing in my heart..."

Staring at Caiyi, Gu Sixiao didn't say anything, just leaned softly on the bed.

She didn't feel it before, but now she feels tired, and her whole body is so soft that she has no strength at all.

Fortunately, Caiyi was just complaining, and she didn't expect her to respond, she just muttered there alone, saying that Luluo's life was miserable, and then saying that it's good that she has eyes and didn't like Steward Fu.

Gu Sixiao first listened indifferently, and when Caiyi mentioned that the official is a good man for the fifth time, she finally couldn't help but hum.

"Sister Caiyi, I'm so scared!"

She whispered, with tears in her eyes, and said softly: "Is it true that all men are so ruthless? When Steward Fu took Sister Luluo away, he was fine. But it's only been a long time, and he wants to take people away." It was sold, and the child in Sister Luluo’s belly was knocked out. It was really scary, so much blood was shed..."

Speaking of this, she grabbed Caiyi's hand violently, startled Caiyi who was listening engrossed.

"Sister Caiyi, what if officials treat you like this?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Caiyi's face sank, she pushed her hand away, her face changed, and the eyes staring at Gu Sixiao were also cold.

"I, I'm not saying that the official is bad, but the official is not alone in the family! Now the official doesn't sleep here, if you listen to other people's words, will it be bad for you, sister?"

With a gloomy face, Caiyi looked unhappy, but did not refute.

Gu Yong doesn't sleep in the back study because she has a big belly and can't serve her.

Originally, she thought that the officials were sympathetic, but now that she thought about it, she felt that it was really dangerous.Who knows if officials will be believed in slander elsewhere?
"Butler Fu said that even if there is no sister Luluo, he will still have someone to give him a son!"

It seemed to be talking to himself, but such low and hoarse whispers were like the last straw, overwhelming Caiyi's tense mind.

Standing up suddenly, she protected her stomach, "I won't let those people harm my child!"

The officials don't care, he has other women, and there are other women who can bear children for him, but she only has this child, and this child is not only her flesh and blood, but also her lifelong guarantee.

Staring at Caiyi, she knew that she would be more wary of the people in the main courtyard in the future. It's nothing right now, but the Gu family's back house will be more lively in the future.

It's not that she is good at talking, but that she just said what Caiyi is most worried about.

However, at this moment, Gu Sixiao didn't feel half happy.

This night, Gu Sixiao didn't sleep well, and he had a nightmare after a while, either he dreamed of Chunhua's face with elongated tongue, or he dreamed of Luluo's blood all over his body.

Struggling, wanting to wake up from the dream, but unable to wake up, finally woke up, only to find out that Caiyi came to push her awake.

"Sleeping? Get up quickly! I heard that the police are coming..."

Frightened by Caiyi's words, Gu Sixiao woke up completely, and hurriedly got up.

Although the back study is now running alone, Gu Sixiao still sneaked into the big kitchen by using the excuse of a green onion.

"Hey, don't you even want to buy an onion? It's not that you can't borrow it, but if you turn around and say that our onion is spoiled, our big kitchen can't afford it—"

Aunt Cheng stared at them, spoke sourly, and scolded the little girl who was working in the kitchen, "Little hooves, what are you talking about if you don't work!"

"Mom, it's terrible." The little girl hurriedly replied: "I just heard that the police came from the yamen, saying, it was Steward Fu who asked Chunhua to kill him!"
