pungent peasant girl

Chapter 208 He's gone

The room is extremely quiet, so quiet that you can hear your own heartbeat.

It was already dawn, and Meng Qianyan sat on a chair with his knees hugged, raising his eyes to look at Luo Ziyan from time to time.

Luo Ziyan was sitting opposite her, his eyes were full of pain and regret.

He found out that the key was missing early in the morning, and found out that someone had entered the warehouse early in the morning, but why didn't he rush to work overnight and replace all the goods?
Maybe in that way, today's accident will not happen?

He closed his eyes, breathing deeply.

There were slight footsteps outside, Meng Qianyan looked sideways and looked out through the window.I saw Dong'er standing there, hesitating, as if he didn't know whether to come in or not.

Meng Qianyan got off the chair and opened the door.

Dong'er was carrying two porridges and a side dish, "Young Madam, the servant has prepared some food. Look, do you and the Second Young Master want to eat?"

"Okay, sorry to trouble you, I'll bring it in."

"Ah."

"What's going on with mother?"

Dong'er frowned, "Hey, Second Young Madam, what happened last night scared everyone in the family. This porridge was boiled by servants and maidservants, and women were sent to deliver it to each room, but everyone They don’t even have much appetite. Especially at the place of the second wife and young master Ziming, the light is still on, and they haven’t slept all night... According to the servants...Miss Zixian has been crying all night..."

After Meng Qianyan heard it, he felt uncomfortable for a while.

The incident happened suddenly, and the second uncle was arrested just like that.

The second uncle is the pillar of the second room. Once he is arrested like this, the sky of the second room will collapse.

She thought for a while, and said to Dong'er: "If you're like this, go to your mother first and tell her about the situation of the second room. She will go to comfort her. I'll give Ziyan something to eat first."

"Yes, the servant knows."

Dong'er stepped back quickly, and Meng Qianyan came to Luo Ziyan's side with porridge and side dishes, "Come on, let's eat something together."

Luo Ziyan's eyes were dazed, and his eyes were dark blue.

"If you don't eat, what's the matter? Could it be that if our family doesn't eat or drink, this matter will be solved? Will the second uncle come back? Can the family business continue?"

Meng Qianyan sighed, "Luo Ziyan, if you are responsible, you have to get up immediately, fill your stomach, and find out who is harming us. Such a dirty trick is definitely not done by a small person .”

"I see." Luo Ziyan raised his head, took the bowl and chopsticks, and drank a bowl of porridge in one go.

He finished his porridge and said to Meng Qianyan: "Qianyan, you are right, I have been thinking about it all night. The matter has come to this point, no matter what, we should not waste time on our emotions anymore, I have to The investigation is clear. Let the second uncle give our Luo family an innocence."

Luo Ziyan's tone was so calm.

This night, he was not just blaming himself and worrying, he was also thinking about how to go next.

"Go." Meng Qianyan nodded to him.

Luo Ziyan came to Luo Ziming's bedroom, and he was leaning against the head of the bed, with snot and tears.

His eyes were red from crying, and he was choking.

Luo Ziyan knelt down and wiped his tears with his sleeve, "Okay, Ziming, you've been crying for so long, enough is enough, you can't continue crying."

Luo Ziming's face was full of tears, and the tears were like broken beads, "Second brother, I, my father... all blame me, it must be because I lost the key... The person who should be arrested is me... "

"Don't say that, someone is deliberately harming us. The other party has already thought of a way to deal with us. Even if you have every defense, you may not be able to prevent it."

"Then what should we do?" Luo Ziming's arms were trembling, "Second Brother, if my father is real...I...I will never have the face to face my mother and Zixian again..."

"Ziming, you must calm down. I am the same as you. The Luo family was thrown into my hands, and Wei Luo was destroyed in my hands. How can I face my parents and my ancestors face to face. So, Ziming, I thought about it, we must, we must investigate this matter clearly! Who is murdering our Luo family!"

Looking at the determination in Luo Ziyan's eyes, Luo Ziming slowly stopped crying.

He nodded heavily, "Second brother, I listen to you, we must find out the truth and give my father and the Luo family a clean slate."

Luo Ziyan patted Luo Ziming's arm, "Then get up with me, eat something, and let's reminisce about it. During these days, what mistakes did we not notice?"

Under Luo Ziyan's persuasion, Luo Ziming ate.

The two recalled what they were doing almost every day during these days.

Luo Ziyan even got a pen, ink, paper and inkstone to record all the details that Luo Ziming said.

Standing outside the window, Meng Qianyan looked at the serious expressions of the two people inside. She became more at ease. She went to the second room, Mrs. Xue, and Mrs. Wu continued to comfort Mrs. Xue and Luo Zixian.

"I remember that at the end of July, our goods were almost finished. At that time, I was very happy and gave rewards to the tailors. By the way, there is also Shi Hongyi. I drank wine with him a few times, Come home drunk every time."

Luo Ziyan recorded and analyzed seriously, "Then what about the beginning of August? What are you doing?"

"On the first day of August, I remember very clearly. At that time, our goods had been loaded into the warehouse, and I made the last inspection. I still remember that I locked the locks myself."

Luo Ziyan nodded, "What about the second and third grades?"

"The second day of junior high..." Luo Ziming thought for a while, "I remember the second day of junior high. We completed a batch of orders in Huaiyang and delivered the goods. The third day of junior high... On the third day of junior high, there were very few things, and I was in a special mood Good. Master Shi asked me to drink, and I returned drunk again. On this day, when I woke up, my second sister-in-law found out that someone had entered the warehouse. Go back to the tailor shop, and I I found out I lost my key..."

"Wait a moment!"

A look of inquiry flashed across Luo Ziyan's cold eyes, "You were with Young Master Shi that day?"

"Yeah, he asked me to drink..." Luo Ziming pondered, "Second Brother, don't you suspect it's Young Master Shi?"

"Of course I doubt it, I doubt everyone. So, Ziming, think about it again, did you still have the key with you before you drank?"

"Yes!" Luo Ziming said with certainty: "On the third day of August, I locked the door of the warehouse. I remember it very clearly, because you told me to be cautious."

"Shi Hongyi..." Luo Ziyan repeated Shi Hongyi's name, "That's not right, Zi Ming, think about it, have we not seen Shi Hongyi for some time?"

Luo Ziming recalled it for a while, then stood up suddenly, "Yeah, it seems, it seems that I only ran into him once on the road a few days ago."

"Ziming, let's go find sister!"

"You ask me what Young Master Shi has been up to lately?" Luo Ziting spread his hands, his eyes full of sentimentality, "How do I know..."

"Sister, you and Master Shi are rushing to get married, how come you don't know what he is doing, don't you two often get together?" Luo Ziming asked.

Luo Ziting shook his head, "No, speaking of it, I haven't seen him for five or six days."

"Why? There is a conflict between you?"

Luo Ziting had a grievance on his face, "He's gone."
