The Lin family only discovered that Lin Shaoyang had fallen into the well at noon the next day.
Mrs. Lin's wail almost echoed throughout the entire street.
Mrs. Lin only had two sons, and as the youngest son, Lin Shaoyang had always been the most favored by her mother. But now, her favorite son had been soaked in the well for a whole day before he was discovered.
She cried and fainted several times, and everyone in the yard was beaten and sold out.
When Xu Qingmo heard the news, it was already in the evening. She happened to be called by Mrs. Xu to look at the account books, and she heard Qiu Chan talk about this matter.
"Dead?" Mrs. Xu's face was full of surprise, "How did you die?"
"He fell into the well and drowned!" Qiu Chan said with a bit of fear. "I heard that Mr. Lin has not been sleeping well at night recently. He went to bed early last night. Today, the maid has not seen him. When I got up, I found that he had drowned in the well!"
Mrs. Xu frowned slightly: "It's so strange to die in your own yard?"
"Who says it's not the case?" Qiu Chan sighed, "You can't die immediately if you fall in. The sound of crying can always be discovered by the people on night watch in the yard! Why did you die like this?"
The more Mrs. Xu thought about it, the more panic she felt. She subconsciously looked back and found that Xu Qingmo, who was sitting next to her, had no reaction at all: "Why aren't you afraid?"
"You can blame God for his evil, but you can't live if you do your own evil!" Xu Qingmo didn't even raise his head, "Besides, he died in his own home, not ours, so what is there to be afraid of?"
Mrs. Xu turned around and nodded slowly: "Yes, that big family is not a good thing. When something happened to our family earlier, Mrs. Lin was still making sarcastic remarks outside!"
"If you don't stab yourself with a knife, you won't know the pain!" Xu Qingmo said lightly.
Mrs. Xu nodded: "Who says it's not the case! If this happened to someone else, it would be a joke. Only if it happens to you, will you feel the pain!"
"Yes, so, they also felt the second uncle's pain!" Xu Qingmo smiled and said softly.
Mrs. Xu suddenly stopped flipping through the account books. She raised her eyes and looked at Xu Qingmo: "Mo Mo, this Lin family matter has nothing to do with you, right?"
Xu Qingmo raised his head and looked at Mrs. Xu with confusion on his face: "What does their family's affairs have to do with me?"
Madam Xu finally let out a long breath.
But after a long while, Xu Qingmo suddenly thought of something and said: "Mother, tell me, do Second Uncle and the others know that those horse thieves were found by Lin Shaoyang?"
"Of course they know..."
Mrs. Xu suddenly raised her head, her face full of shock: "You mean... you mean..."
Xu Qingmo didn't say anything, just put the account book in his hand in front of Mrs. Xu: "Mother, after reading the account book, I'm going back first!"
Mrs. Xu was stunned for a moment before she realized: "Ah, okay, you go back first!"
Xu Qingmo walked out of Mrs. Xu's yard and walked back slowly. On the way, he happened to meet Yan Junuo who was hurriedly walking out.
The moment Yan Junuo saw Xu Qingmo, his face turned pale with fright, he immediately stopped and stood aside without daring to say a word.
Since that day, when Yan Junuo stumbled back, she immediately sent the girl who had sent the message to the countryside, and then stayed in her yard obediently. Even on the day of Xu Qingling's funeral, she did not dare to leave the yard. .
"Oh? Why did my cousin come out of the yard today?" Xu Qingmo glanced at Yan Junuo lightly.
Yan Junuo's face was pale. After hesitating for a long time, he still said: "I heard, Lin Shaoyang, Mr. Lin is dead?"
"Yes! You look in such a hurry, could it be that you are going to express condolences to him?" Xu Qingmo looked at Yan Junuo and said softly.
Yan Junuo quickly shook his head: "How could it be? Mr. Lin and I have nothing to do with each other. I just feel that I have been living in the house for a long time. I am going to say goodbye to my aunt and it is time to go back."
Xu Qingmo understood that Yan Junuo did not dare to continue living in Ningyuan Houfu. Lin Shaoyang's death had already made her breathless.
"Oh? Madam Yan, aren't you going to embarrass me?" Xu Qingmo said with a smile, "You have to think clearly. You have everything I should have, including the popular food and spicy food in our house. When you go back to your own home, you can You may not get this kind of treatment anymore.”
How could Yan Junuo not understand this truth? He still had the opportunity to meet the Crown Prince at Ningyuan Hou's mansion. How could he have such a good opportunity when he returned to his own home?
But now that Lin Shaoyang has lost his life, how could such a good person fall into a well? And still in his own home.
Yan Junuo didn't believe it, it was just an accident!
"Although my house is nice, it is not my home after all!" Yan Junuo smiled, "I will always go back!"
Naturally, Xu Qingmo didn't say anything more and just nodded: "Okay, it's up to you!"
Just when Yan Junuo thought Xu Qingmo was leaving, he didn't expect that she suddenly stopped again: "Hey, Yan Junuo, take care of yourself!"
At that moment, a chill ran directly from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. Yan Junuo couldn't help but tremble all over her body, but she still forced a smile: "Thank you, sister, for reminding me!"
Xu Qingmo left very briskly, because she understood that this person would no longer be in the house tomorrow.
Although Yan Junuo temporarily lives in the house and has been relatively stable these days, he can't help but feel a little wary in his heart. Now that he is gone, he feels much more at ease.
Yan Junuo left overnight. When he came, he only brought some changes of clothes. When he returned, he took away many large and small bags.
When Xu Qingmo heard Hua Ying say this in the yard, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "His biological mother doesn't have much money either. She usually uses the little money given by her father-in-law as pocket money. The things she bought at our house these days , enough for him to use for a long time!”
Hua Ying couldn't help but shook her head: "How could such a good legitimate daughter live in such a miserable state?"
Xu Qingmo smiled and said nothing.
Not long after, Qu Lian came back from outside. As soon as she came in, she drank up a pot of cold water, and then said: "Girl, there are rumors in the community that the horse thief who killed the second girl has something to do with Lin Shaoyang!"
Xu Qingmo paused: "Oh? Who released the news?"
"It's the eldest son of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion!" Qu Lian said softly, "He was the one who came back with you, girl..."
"I know!" Xu Qingmo interrupted Qu Lian, "This guy is really a dog and a rat, meddling in other people's business!"
Hua Ying felt Xu Qingmo's anger and said cautiously: "Girl, what should we do next?"
