The daughter of the splendid good fortune is respected

Chapter 673 Han's Pregnant (3)
Xiao Mingxuan also came out, with a reserved look on his face, and he didn't like to talk to others.Xiao Mingyu didn't bother to talk to her, just talking to Xiao Mingpei.Xiao Mingpei is going to marry Song Zizhou in October this year, and now he is busy preparing the dowry.Looking at the shy smile on Xiao Mingpei's face, he knew that Xiao Mingpei was very satisfied with this marriage and was looking forward to the wedding.Xiao Mingyu had a conversation with Xiao Mingpei, and the two went to see Xiao Mingqi together, congratulating Xiao Mingqi on their marriage.

Xiao Mingqi's expression was indifferent, as if he couldn't lift his spirits.

Xiao Mingpei asked, "Is eldest sister unhappy? Isn't it good to get married?"

"What's good?" Xiao Mingqi said lazily, "You've all heard about that family. When I get married, do you think I'll have a good life?"

"Why not." Xiao Mingpei disagreed, "Although Ji's family background is relatively weak, it is still a decent family, and its ancestors also produced first-rank officials. Although it is lonely now, it is still a famous family that has been passed down for a hundred years. Sister married, she is a decent young mistress, and she has a large dowry in her hands, and she will give birth to a brother in a year or two, so what else will Big Sister worry about?"

Xiao Mingqi laughed at himself, "Just because you married into a good family doesn't mean everyone is blessed with you. I know exactly what the Ji family is like. Marrying in the past means worrying about trivial things all day long. Forget it, instead of being in Being an old girl at home is disgusting, so it's better to get married as soon as possible. At least it's out of sight and out of mind."

Xiao Mingyu could tell that Xiao Mingqi had a lot of resentment towards this marriage.But Xiao Mingqi didn't think about what was going on with her now.There is nothing wrong with this marriage except that Ji's family has a poor foundation.But Xiao Mingqi was not satisfied.It can only be said that everyone has their own fate.Xiao Mingzhen and Tan Shi have done everything they can, if they can't satisfy Xiao Mingqi, then there is nothing they can do.

Xiao Mingqi was not very interested in chatting, probably because he was bored about his marriage.So Xiao Mingyu bid farewell to Xiao Mingpei and left without disturbing Xiao Mingqi.

Xiao Mingxuan and Chai Zixiu came late, and the sisters got together, which was quite lively.Xiao Mingxuan said to Xiao Mingyu, "We decided to leave Beijing on the fifteenth day."

Xiao Mingyu was not surprised, "So it's only three or four days. If that's the case, let's get together in two days and let us see you off."

Xiao Mingxuan smiled and said, "Okay. I wasted a lot of time in coming to the capital this time, and it's time to go back. But when you get married, I will definitely come to the capital again."

Xiao Mingyu nodded and smiled, "Then we've made a deal, you must come."

"Well, of course it will."

The banquet begins, and everyone serves wine and dishes on the table.After the banquet, I moved to the theater to watch a play.Xiao Maolin likes to be lively, and in order to wish him a smooth career, he specially invited the opera troupe to sing.Xiao Mingyu was not very interested in watching theatre.But it's not good to leave here, I can only sit in the theater with everyone and listen to the play.

After listening to two plays, Xiao Mingyu felt tired and planned to go out for a walk.As soon as she got up, she saw a girl rushing in from outside, bowing her head and talking in Tan's ear.Tan was startled, and yelled, "What, the water is gone? What's going on?"

When they heard that the water was running, everyone panicked.After watching the play, they left the theater one after another.Sure enough, there was thick smoke coming from the direction of the backyard.

Mrs. Tan was in a panic, "Why don't you rush to put out the fire, what are you doing standing here?"

Xiao Mingyu looked in the direction of the fire, frowning.No matter how you look at that direction, it looks like the place where Xiao Mingxuan lives.Xiao Mingyu was worried, and followed the firefighters over there.The place where the fire started was indeed the yard that Xiao Mingxuan locked.

Xiao Mingzhen ran over, "I didn't see Mingxuan anywhere. I heard from the servants that Mingxuan went back to her room to rest at the beginning of the play. Sister Mingyu, I didn't expect a fire. In case Mingxuan is unlucky..."

Xiao Mingyu raised his hand and simply interrupted Xiao Mingzhen's words, "There is something strange about this matter. I suspect that Xiao Mingxuan is not in the room. You should send people to look around quickly, maybe she is hiding somewhere else. I will also send people to look around the capital. .Remember, no fanfare. We don't know exactly what calculations are going on here."

Xiao Mingzhen frowned, "Are you suspecting that Xiao Mingxuan set fire on purpose?"

"It's possible. The last time I saw her, I realized that something was wrong with her. Maybe she has been waiting for an opportunity, and today is the opportunity. Does third brother believe me?" Xiao Mingyu said solemnly.

Xiao Mingzhen frowned and thought for a while, "Okay, let's arrange it according to what you said. It's just that I don't understand why Xiao Mingxuan set fire to it? Don't you know that it is difficult for a girl's family to move outside without the protection of the family?"

The corner of Xiao Mingyu's mouth curled up, and he smiled mockingly, "The specific reason will not be known until we meet Xiao Mingxuan and ask him personally."

The fire was extinguished and the entire yard was reduced to ashes. Fortunately, the fire was extinguished in time and the fire did not spread.A female corpse was found in the ashes, and many people immediately showed grief. It seemed that everyone thought it was Xiao Mingxuan's corpse.Xiao Mingyu didn't believe it, and asked someone to invite someone to do it, and he must check out the characteristics of this female corpse.

As for the outside, Xiao Mingyu didn't relax. Instead, he asked people to search quickly to find Xiao Mingxuan.

Wu Zuo came, checked the female body, and came to a conclusion that the female body showed no signs of struggle.In other words, before the fire broke out, the female corpse was either dead or unconscious.The exact cause of death still needs further investigation.Wu Zuo means to send the corpse to the Yamen for careful inspection by the Yamen staff.

Xiao Maolin was the first to jump out to object. It was already uncomfortable for such a thing to happen on a good day.Xiao Maolin couldn't afford to lose face by sending the corpse to the yamen for the people in the yamen to spoil it.Regardless of whether this female corpse is Xiao Mingxuan or not, Xiao Maolin intends to treat her as Xiao Mingxuan, and announce to the public today that Xiao Mingxuan was buried in flames.

Xiao Mingxuan walked up to Xiao Mingyu's side, "That corpse is definitely not Xiao Mingxuan's. He knows a little bit of work as a self-study, so he went to see it himself. No matter in terms of height or shape, the corpse cannot be Xiao Mingxuan's."

Xiao Mingyu nodded, "I know. But uncle is the head of the clan, and Mingxuan happened in the eldest room. It's hard for us to object to uncle's decision."

"Should I invite my mother here and let my mother make the decision?"

Xiao Mingyu raised his hand to stop it, "No, since Xiao Mingxuan has figured out a way to get rid of the golden cicada's shell, then we might as well help her."

Xiao Mingxuan frowned, "Do you think she made such a plan because her marriage was unsatisfactory? But she left the Xiao family, what does she live on? Would it be better to be outside than at home? She is really stupid."

Xiao Mingyu laughed mockingly, "Fourth sister also forgot one person."
