Opening Six Maids

In the small courtyard, Shi Liang has been busy chopping wood, cooking pots, and boiling water.

Gurulu...

Steam was already coming out of the old iron kettle.

Seeing that the water was already boiling, Shi Liang quickly evacuated the firewood from the stove and poured a scoop of cold water to put it out.

"call···"

"It's hot!"

Shi Liang tentatively touched the handle of the kettle, and then grinned as he was scalded.

After waiting for a few breaths, Shi Liang estimated that the temperature of the kettle was not so hot anymore.

He quickly picked up the handle of the kettle with his hand, and ran to the front of Chuci.

boom!

Putting the kettle on the ground, Shi Liang pinched his earlobe with his hand and jumped up.

"Why are you so anxious?"

Chu Ci smiled and looked at Shi Liang.

"Hey-hey···"

Shi Liang scratched his head with a dry smile, and said, "I'm afraid you have been waiting for a long time."

"By the way, I'll get the bowl."

Shi Liang turned around and went back to the room and took out a water bowl.

Wow!

Pour the steaming water into the bowl, Shi Liang's face was slightly embarrassed.

A guest comes to drink tea at someone else’s house, but I can only drink water at home.

"Master Chu, the family is impoverished. If you are wronged, drink something to quench your thirst?"

Shi Liang carefully placed the bowl in front of Chuci.

Chu Ci chuckled lightly, and took a sip of the bowl indifferently.

Shi Liang stood quietly, looking at Chuci with a serious expression, for fear that there would be some dissatisfaction.

Chu Ci put down the water bowl and said with a smile, "Shi Liang, sit down too."

"This is your house, why are you so nervous?"

"Yeah." Shi Guangming nodded, and then found a stone pier to sit down.

Di Gongming had been looking at Shi Liang silently, and seeing Shi Liang's expression relaxed, his eyes flashed.

"Shi Liang, can I ask you some questions?"

Shi Liang looked at Di Gongming in surprise, nodded subconsciously and said, "Of course, what do you want to ask?"

Di Gongming stroked his beard and said, "Tell me about your family's situation."

Shi Liang scratched his head, wondering why Di Gongming cared about this.

"My father and my mother left when my sister and I were very young. My sister and I grew up eating the next-door meal..."

"When I get older, I will go to the city to find a odd job to change some rice and noodles to eat, while my younger sister is doing laundry and cooking at home..."

"The condition of my family is much better now, and I can earn money outside, and I will buy something to give to the neighbors on weekdays, which can be regarded as a reward for my nurturing."

Shi Liang sat on the stone bench with half of his butt, his waist stiff and straight.

Looking at Di Gongming, he stated his life in the past word by word.

Di Gongming didn't interrupt, but from time to time he nodded slightly.

After Shi Liang finished speaking, Di Gongming spoke slowly.

"Shi Liang, your relationship with your sister must be very good, right?"

"Of course!"

Shi Liang replied with bright eyes, "Sister is my closest relative!"

Di Gongming stroked his beard and said, "Then you should know your sister very well?"

Shi Liang nodded heavily, his face filled with pride.

"Since I was a child, my sister and I have depended on each other for life, so naturally they are very familiar with each other."

"Then..." Di Gongming said in a deep voice, "Then have you noticed something unusual about your sister after returning from the capital?"

"I···"

Shi Liang opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

The light in the eyes and the smile on his face also all converged.

After a while, the voice squeezed out of Shi Liang's throat.

"No!"

"My sister has nothing unusual!"

Di Gongming's movement paused.

It can be seen that Shi Liang absolutely lied.

"Shi Liang."

Di Gongming looked at Shi Liang deeply, and said in a deep voice, "I hope you can tell the truth!"

"This is not only good for you, but also good for your sister!"

Shi Liang's small face instantly turned pale after hearing this.

"I." Shi Liang opened his mouth, his face full of embarrassment.

Shi Liang lowered his head slightly, clenched his fists, his body trembling slightly because of excessive force.

Di Gongming frowned slightly when he saw this.

Looking at Shi Liang's situation, I'm afraid he won't tell the truth.

"Shi Liang."

The voice of Chuci sounded.

Chu Ci's words are still very powerful for Shi Liang, Shi Liang's body trembled, and slowly raised his head.

"My lord, I..."

Shi Liang still hesitated, didn't want to, or said he didn't want to tell the truth.

Chu Ci looked at Shi Liang's eyes and said in a deep voice, "Shi Liang, if you really treat Shi Yue as a younger sister, tell the truth!"

"Otherwise, in the end, you can only regret yourself!"

Chu Ci's words fell on Shi Liang's head like a bang.

"I see."

Shi Liang took a deep breath and glanced into the room.

"In the embroidered building in the backyard of the Metropolitan Government, I found something wrong with my sister!"

"On weekdays, as long as I call my sister, my sister will come over."

"But my sister didn't hear my shout before, and didn't even see my brother in her eyes!"

While speaking, Shi Liang's face was full of loss.

Looking at the people in Chuci, Shi Liang gave a wry smile, "Do you know, my heart felt cold at the time!"

"At that moment I didn't seem to see my sister, but another person!"

After a moment of silence, Shi Liang continued, "After returning home, my sister became even more weird."

"My sister used to do most of the work at home."

"The home is poor, so naturally it won't be very clean, and my sister never cares about it."

"But when I came back this time, my sister was a bit disgusted with the mess at home."

"And the first time after returning is not a good night's sleep, but thinking about taking a bath, washing clothes, and washing quilts!"

Shi Liang shook his head and chuckled lightly, "I was a poor peasant girl, so she brought so many ways?"

After hearing the words of Chu Ci, his eyes flashed, and he said aloud, "So now Shi Yue is still your former sister?"

Shi Liang thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know!"

Shi Liang looked at the room and said in a deep voice, "But she is my sister, no matter what she looks like, she will always be!"

Chu Ci sighed lightly, got up and said, "I'm afraid this matter is a bit troublesome."

"Master Di." Chu Ci looked at Di Gongming and said, "The Shi Family still needs someone to stare at. I'm afraid the Dutong Mansion will not let it go!"

Di Gongming nodded slightly, stroked his beard and said, "I will let Chongming stare here."

After pondering for a moment, Di Gongming continued, "Master Chu, don't you need to ask Shi Yue himself?"

Chu Ci thought for a while, "Forget it."

"Even if you ask her, I'm afraid I won't be able to ask anything."

"I will investigate this matter in another direction!"

At this moment, Chuci thought of the immigrant from the country of Xianzhu who auctioned employment rights at the underground auction.

Pei Lan sunny day.

Speaking of it, she seems to be related to the young lady of the Metropolitan Mansion.

Di Gongming stood up and said, "Since Master Chu has ideas, then this matter will trouble Master Chu to investigate."

"I'll go back and look at the literature about Gu Xianguo."

Di Gongming looked at Li Chongming and ordered, "Chongming, you should stay here first to prevent the culprits from coming again!"

Li Chongming took his orders, "Yes, my lord!"
