When Wang Xianyu saw Xie Suyu, her eyes immediately turned red, but she still held back her sadness and stood there with a stubborn look on her face: "I thought you didn't want to see me!"
"How could I not want to see you!" Xie Suyu looked at Wang Xianyu with heartache, "It's just that I can't come to see you, you understand..."
Wang Xianyu naturally understood, but she still felt aggrieved. She had no way to be like those sensible women who could never leave her husband even if they were abandoned.
Now she just wants to make trouble unreasonably, and wants Xie Suyu to coax her nicely.
But Wang Xianyu couldn't do it. No matter how sad or wronged she felt, she couldn't make trouble unreasonably. Her reason kept telling her that Xie Suyu was not at fault.
Xie Suyu naturally understood Wang Xianyu's grievances, especially when she looked at him with a stubborn face, his heart was almost sore.
If it weren't for etiquette and restraint, Xie Suyu would just want to take Wang Xianyu into his arms and let her cry and make trouble.
After the emotional turmoil, the two gradually calmed down.
They sat down on the stone benches in the courtyard and talked in detail.
Xu Qingmo glanced at it unintentionally and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Is your seventh prince quite tolerant?"
"Yeah!" Meng Hetong just nodded, and then thought, "What do you mean by the seventh prince of my family? He belongs to his family, and he will belong to other people's families in the future. There is no way he can belong to my family!"
Xu Qingmo glanced at Meng Hetong with a half-smile but said nothing.
Meng Hetong felt something was wrong at Xu Qingmo's sight. After a long time, he said, "What are your plans about Miss Wang?"
"Yan Junuo will never let a woman with a higher status and better appearance than her enter the prince's palace. We only need to be careful about her schemes against Wang Xianyu. Yan Junuo will take care of the rest!" Xu Qingmo said calmly. .
"Are you so sure that she can do it?" Meng Hetong frowned slightly.
"Are you sure?" Xu Qingmo smiled, "I'm not sure, but don't worry, since I agreed to help you with this matter, I won't fail!"
Meng Hetong took a deep breath: "You have said so, so of course we won't worry. However, if you have nothing to do today, why don't you take a good look at the Widow's Place with me?"
"If you want me to help investigate the case, this is the second thing." Xu Qingmo raised his eyes and looked at Meng Hetong.
Meng Hetong raised his eyebrows: "Then the purpose of your coming here today is simply to check the accounts and facilitate a meeting between the two?"
"Think of it as two things!" Xu Qingmo handed the account book in his hand to Hua Ying beside him, "Those who are capable work hard, remember to keep a credit book for me, and I can exchange it for money in the future!"
Meng Hetong paused, and then said helplessly: "That's all you have to offer? You just want to change money, and you don't want to buy other good things!"
"It's hard to move without money. Gold and silver are hard currency!" Xu Qingmo snorted, then took the lead and said, "I asked before. There are a total of nineteen people missing. They are all women who have just become widows. They are all old. Not very old, some are even isolated, ranging from teenagers to 20 years old, the oldest is only 25 years old."
"Nineteen people?" Meng Hetong frowned, "There are only twelve people in the case we saw. When did the other seven people disappear?" Meng Hetong frowned.
"It's just the past few days, but these seven people are not from here, and their household registration is not in the capital. Many of them came from other places to visit relatives. In the end, they came here because they could not find any relatives or their relatives had died. Here we come!" Xu Qingmo said as he walked forward, "The government has been here many times, and everything that can be searched in the yard has been searched!"
Meng Hetong nodded: "I know this. The government has classified this case as human trafficking, but even if it is human trafficking, it is impossible to concentrate in one place in a short period of time, and when everyone disappears, there is no sound. , you’re not a child, how could you make no sound at all?”
"This is what makes people feel weird." Xu Qingmo looked back at Meng Hetong, "All the courtyards in Widow's Square are connected. As long as one person shouts, people in other courtyards can definitely hear it, but from the first one Of the nineteen people who have disappeared so far, not a single one has heard a sound.”
"Do you suspect that the inside is in harmony with the outside?" Meng Hetong suddenly realized.
"And it was an acquaintance who committed the crime." Xu Qingmo concluded.
In fact, in the previous life, there had been trouble in the Widow's Square, but when it came to the main hall, it calmed down. However, this time, it was different from the previous life. There were still people committing crimes.
Almost subconsciously, Xu Qingmo felt that the incident at the Widow's Square might be inextricably related to Xie Suxian.
"Xu Qingmo, tell me, are the missing people still alive?" Meng Hetong suddenly asked.
"Who knows?"
The two went to find the manager first, and then she took them to the courtyard where the missing women were found: "The government officials have come in several batches, but there is no news at all. The courtyard has been turned upside down. Come and see." , I might not be able to find anything useful."
Xu Qingmo nodded: "We know, we just want to take a look."
The person in charge didn’t say anything more.
The first wing room they went to was the first room on the north side. The steward opened the door and the room was turned over. All the boxes were opened and the beds were opened: "The man who originally lived in this courtyard was called Chuntao is from the northern countryside. Because she has no children, she lives in the northern courtyard."
"She should be pretty good at embroidery, right?" Xu Qingmo said suddenly.
The manager was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Yes, Chuntao has been here for almost three years. Her embroidery patterns are vivid and her hands and feet are quick. Her monthly salary is the highest among their group!"
"So she definitely didn't leave on her own initiative, but was deceived into leaving." Xu Qingmo said coldly.
Meng Hetong looked around and didn't understand where Xu Qingmo found this out: "How do you know she is good at embroidery?"
"Look at that embroidery stand. It is made of the best, and the fabrics and needlework on it are also the most precious. If she doesn't have any great skills, who would dare to give her good things?" Xu Qingmo said softly.
"Then how do you know she didn't leave on her own initiative?" The person in charge was also a little strange.
"There are a lot of peach trees in her house. They should belong to a concubine. Naturally, there will be no one who is desperate to come to her, seduce her, or seek relatives. There won't be any acquaintances. They can earn more here. She is living comfortably again, why would she go with someone else?" Xu Qingmo looked up at Meng Hetong and said softly.
