2075 Chapter 2075-saying no
“Have you been doing embroidery the whole afternoon on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year? You didn’t hear anything?” Gu Xin asked.....
“I’m not always here. I’ve been doing embroidery work for a long time and have to move around a little. Otherwise, my body will not be good and my eyes will be damaged. I just take a walk in the courtyard when I’m resting. I really didn’t hear anything.” Said Mrs. Song.
“Princess, please have some tea.” At this moment, Song Yi came over with some tea and also brought a cup of hot water for Mrs. Song.
After the two of them drank, Song Yi said,”Princess, I heard you ask about the seventh day of the new year. I know that the seventh day of the new year is the time when the young lady of the Xie family died. However, this student had a question. Did the young lady of the Xie family die at the bottom of the well? He had died outside and was thrown into the well. If he died at the bottom of the well, there might be some movement next to the well on the seventh day. If they died outside and were thrown into the well, no one could tell when they would be thrown into the well. You can’t just be obsessed with the seventh day.”
“Young master Song, do you know miss Xie?” Gu Xin suddenly asked.
“Eh? I don’t know him.” Song Yi was stunned for a moment before he said.
“Then how do you know it’s a girl from the Xie family? I don’t think anyone told you that the deceased’s surname was Xie?” Gu Xin looked at Song Yi’s face and asked.
Mrs. Song also looked at Song Yi.
“Oh, Your Highness, this student does not know the young lady of the Xie family, but this student knows the old master of the Xie family.” Song Yi scratched his head and said honestly, ” young master Xie used to be classmates with me, and old master Xie was often invited to the Academy. Young master Xie went to the Royal Academy last year, and I haven’t seen old master Xie since.”
“Oh, I see! I thought you knew miss Xie and deliberately said you didn’t know her!” Gu Xin laughed.
“To not hide from Princess, this one’s son is a taciturn person and very shy. Not to mention knowing the girls outside, he can’t even distinguish the girls in the same alley. In the past, when the Zhu family and the Xie family were talking about marriage, he saw the young lady Zhu and ran back to tell me that Xiao ru had changed! Wasn’t this a complete mistake? “Cough, cough, cough, cough!” Mrs. Song was about to laugh when she finished, but she coughed again and quickly took a cup of water.
“Oh, I see! Then, Mrs. Song, Mr. Song, from the seventh day of the new year to yesterday when the Liang family confirmed that they would rent the courtyard next door, did there be any movements?” Gu Xin asked again.
The mother and son looked at each other and then shook their heads.
Seeing this, Gu Xin did not ask any more questions. She only wanted them to tell the people from the government office if they remembered anything.
After giving his instructions, he stood up and was about to leave. Suddenly, he saw the flowers on the table and asked with a smile, ” “Mrs. Song’s health is not good, and these flowers seem to have been picked only three or four days ago. It must be young master Song who picked them! There doesn’t seem to be such wildflowers in the capital.”
Song Yi said, ” I don’t know if there are any in the capital, but we have them in the Academy. I saw them two days ago and remembered that mother liked them, so I picked them back.
Gu Xin nodded her head and took another glance at the embroidered basket by the bed before leaving.
Song Yi sent Gu Xin out the door. Mrs. Song looked at the flowers on the table, then at the basket at the head of the bed, and her expression changed.
She started coughing again.
When Gu Xin heard this from the courtyard, she told Song Yi not to send her off since it was only a few steps away, ” “Young master Song, remember to get the medicine tomorrow morning, then boil it for Mrs. Song to drink, and bring the doctor along. After you take the medicine, remember to call the doctor to check on Mrs. Song. Mrs. Song’s illness is not an ordinary minor illness, and she needs to change the medicinal herbs frequently. Don’t be careless.”
