Spring Forest Evening

Fortunately, a few people came in after that, the one in front, Zhou Heng recognized at a glance, was the third lady whom he met in Tianxiang Tower before, but the dress he was wearing was changed from rose red to red. I got a dark green one.

Afraid of being recognized by the other party, Zhou Heng hurriedly moved behind Chun Yu to prevent her from noticing.

Fortunately, the other party was wearing a handkerchief and looked like weeping. After entering, he went directly to Mrs. Zhou Tai, and didn't pay attention to the people dressed by their two maids.

In contrast, there is a young woman wearing a sky blue dress who is about the same age as the third lady behind. Called "grandmother" and "mother", she must also be a daughter of the Zhou family, but I don't know where she ranks.

Zhou Heng watched quietly from behind Chun Yu. Mrs. Zhou treated the two granddaughters with a good attitude and a pleasant face, while Mrs. Xie was obviously a bit colder. It seems that the attitude of Madam Huang and others was also influenced by her.

But whether it was the two Mrs. Zhou or the two Miss Zhou, the four of them obviously knew each other's attitudes well, so the third lady was still crying after that, and the other one who looked stable still didn't speak. Mrs. Zhou sighed and began to drink a bowl of medicinal soup on the table, but Mrs. Xie finally couldn't bear it and drank: "Okay, what does it look like to cry!"

Miss San seemed to be waiting for her words, and immediately stopped crying as soon as she heard it, and then apologized to her in a sobbing way: "I also hope that Mother's Day is sad, sister Heng went too badly, and grandma , please take care of yourself, old man, I think Sister Heng—"

"Shut up!" Now that her daughter is still alive and standing in front of her eyes, Mrs. Xie naturally couldn't hear her provocative words: "I didn't find Ah Heng in Liuhu at all, you curse your sister here !"

That is, what Mrs. Xie said made Zhou Heng nod secretly. It seems that this third young lady really has no good intentions. After all, she is also a half-sister, so how could she rush to hurt her heart in front of her aunt.

He sighed again, it seems that there is no family relationship between the concubine and concubine of the Zhou family this time, no wonder the original Zhou Heng wanted the future husband-in-law to promise not to accept the side concubine.

However, when Mrs. Xie said this, the other concubine lady who had been hanging her head in silence raised her head in surprise, looked at the two above, and then asked with some hesitation: "Mother, don't blame the third sister." , she too...and grandma...couldn't you hear from father yet?"

"Oh? What news?" Mrs. Zhou put down the soup bowl, looking a little surprised.

The young lady hesitated again, then glanced at the third young lady, and finally rushed to say to the convenient and fast person:

"Grandmother, forgive me. My granddaughter has been sending people to wait by the Liuhu Lake for this accident. An hour ago, I got the news from there that two more were salvaged... one of them seems to be Sister Heng. ...The granddaughter is also worried about you and mother, so she hurried back with her second sister..."

Having said that, she seemed very sad, and began to cry and wipe away her tears again.

After hearing this, Mrs. Xie reacted quickly. First, she glanced at Zhou Heng, and then asked the second lady in shock, "Is this really true?!" Then she looked shaky and unbelievable.

The second lady still didn't cry, she just nodded silently, and looked up at Mrs. Zhou who was also silent in surprise.

Oops, I hope you don't reveal your secrets. The two ladies, please cooperate and express your grief by shedding two tears or something. The third lady feels like she came here specially to watch you cry!Zhou Heng felt that at this time, he should not be stubborn, which aroused suspicion.

But Mrs. Xie still didn't cry, and just sat down with her head bowed. After a moment of silence, Mrs. Zhou asked the second lady, "Are you sure it's... Ah Heng? Your father...?"

The second lady was about to say something when the third lady who was crying next to her snatched her words again, sobbing but said with certainty:

"The steward said that the two of them were fished together at the time, not to mention the circumstances of the fish... Sister Heng... was barefoot, but fortunately the dress was still there... The other man was wearing a boatman's clothes,... Father passed out at that time, grandma, Sister Heng died too badly!"

He said "Woooooooooooooooooooooo" and cried.

With a "boom", Xie had a bigger reaction this time, but he dropped a teacup in his hand. Seeing her chest heaving violently, he was very angry, and then sat down He covered his face and cried.

Zhou Heng looked at it coldly, and the third lady really had a micro expression of "hehe, I finally made you cry", but the other second lady still had a dull face, and even got up specially to comfort Mrs. , was thrown away by her hand.

Zhou Heng actually didn't quite understand what Ms. Zhou said just now. I don't know why Mrs. Xie finally cried, but one thing is understandable: it is obvious that the other party wants everyone to know that Ms. Zhou is dead. In Liuhu, as a mother, Mrs. Xie was naturally angry.

However, there is no time to take care of Mrs. Xie at the moment, Zhou Heng is concerned about another point: According to the third lady, the boatman also died later?

Or was it the real boatman who died, not the murderer who wanted to kill him later?

Such words are clean and neat, and completely cut off the clues.

It seems that the people behind this scene are very vicious, and I don't know if Shen Fu has received the news...

Thinking of this, Zhou Heng felt that he really wanted to see who the person who caught it was. Right now, he was the only one who could identify it. Although he was a little scared, he still worked hard to muster up his courage when he thought of Mother Huang and the others, so he whispered: Discuss with Chunyu in front:

"Should we also hurry back to the mansion and tell the prince?" Anyway, the third lady's identity has been confirmed, so I have to tell Shen Fu quickly about this, and ask him to send someone to investigate the relationship between the third lady and others. .

Chun Yu naturally listened to her, and immediately nodded her head without any trace, and then saluted to express the same meaning to Mrs. Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou seemed to have finally come to her senses, and hurriedly said: "Go back and tell the prince, alas, the prince is affectionate and righteous, the old man is in a mess now, and some etiquette can't be taken care of now. In this way, I will trouble you both." If you go back, if the prince is in the mansion, please tell him about the situation here, and let him go to the Liuhu Lake as soon as possible, Ah Heng's father must be very bad now... Oh, how could this happen!" Saying that, he patted the table heavily.
