Qu Lian, who had always been carefree, was very strict with her words this time. She refused to let Xu Qingmo and Hua Ying say anything. She just let the two of them tease her with a red face, pretending that she didn't hear them.
Xu Qingmo didn't take it too seriously. After all, this was Qu Lian's own matter. She didn't want to talk about it. No matter how much others said, it was of no use!
Xu Qingmo slept until noon of the next day, when the sun came out. Hua Ying and Qu Lian both got up early and took out all the damp clothes to expose them to the sun.
So when Xu Qingmo went out, she saw clothes hanging all over the yard. She stood leaning against the door for a while, and then said helplessly: "We are going to set up a stall to sell clothes!"
"The city of Hangzhou is too humid, and the house is all sticky. It's rare to get sunshine, so hurry up and get some sunshine!" Hua Ying passed by Xu Qingmo holding the quilt, "Everything is damp, it's so uncomfortable! "
Xu Qingmo looked at the two busy people and silently walked to the railing and sat down: "We won't stay here for a long time. We can go back after staying for a few days!"
"We can make do with it. The girl hasn't been in good health lately. It'll be annoying if she gets too wet. You'd better be careful!" Qu Lian said while holding a bamboo pole and patting the quilt.
Xu Qingmo leaned against the pillar, looked at the two people working hard, and smiled softly: "Oh, you two are both big girls. You haven't done such work in many years!"
"What did the girl say?" Hua Ying looked back at Xu Qingmo, "I have done these jobs since I was a child. Even if I haven't done them in the past few years, I can't forget them!"
When Xu Qingmo was about to speak, Yu Sheng suddenly ran over in a hurry: "Miss Xu!"
Xu Qingmo looked at Yu Sheng, who had an anxious face, frowned slightly, and then stood up: "What's wrong?"
"The Marquis asked me to invite you over. He said there are a few people who need you to meet them!" Yu Sheng looked at Xu Qingmo and said softly.
Xu Qingmo was a little surprised: "Who do you think I have to go to see?"
Yusheng looked up at Xu Qingmo and said with some embarrassment: "Girl, just come with me!"
Xu Qingmo thought for a while and finally followed Yusheng, but he was worried that something would happen, so he finally took Qu Lian with him.
Xu Qingmo originally thought she was going somewhere, but he didn't expect that he would eventually take her to Yizhuang. In Yizhuang, besides Meng Hetong, there was also He Anye.
He Anye was wearing an official uniform and looked like he was handling a case. He was also very surprised when he saw Xu Qingmo, and then looked at Meng Hetong with some annoyance: "Why did you call Mo Mo here? She is a little girl. See Shouldn’t we be afraid of these?”
Meng Hetong glanced at Xu Qingmo, and then sighed softly: "She killed the one in the coffin, what can she not see?"
He Anye was stunned: "What?"
Xu Qingmo stood there, suddenly looking a little embarrassed, as if a child had done something bad and was discovered by an elder in the family. Standing there, he felt uncomfortable all over.
After hearing Meng Hetong's words, He Anye fell into a state of shock. He looked straight at Xu Qingmo with disbelief on his face: "Why, how is this possible?"
Of course He Anye knew about Xu Qingmo's game with the water pirates in order to save the people on the boat, but when Meng Hetong pointed at a corpse with a horrific death appearance, he said that the little girl standing there with his head lowered in front of him was the murderer. Yes, He Anye couldn't believe it.
Standing there, Xu Qingmo could naturally feel He Anye's shock. She tried to talk away his eyes: "Well... why did you suddenly call me here?"
Meng Hetong glanced at Xu Qingmo, then opened the coffin on the side: "Look, do you have any impression of the people here?"
Xu Qingmo turned his head to look inside the coffin. Probably in order to prevent rot, he smeared a large amount of white wine on the body. As soon as he opened the coffin board, a pungent smell of wine came out.
Xu Qingmo waved his hand, and after the smell dissipated a bit, he leaned over and took a closer look. The body in the coffin had been packed away, and the damaged wounds had been stitched up.
But Xu Qingmo still recognized him at a glance. He was the water thief who was lurking in the crew that day. After his throat was cut by Xu Qingmo, his blood spurted all over her body, so she had a very deep impression of this water thief: "I You know, I killed him!"
"You, you killed my father?" Suddenly a voice came from the door not far away.
Xu Qingmo slowly turned around and saw a mother and daughter in mourning clothes. They were the same mother and daughter who took her home to bake socks that day.
Xu Qingmo looked at Yueyue, who had red eyes and a face full of disbelief. Her face was still cold. She was not afraid to admit what she had done: "Yes, I killed him!"
Yueyue paused, then rushed forward and tried to headbutt Xu Qingmo, but was caught by Qu Lian: "You killed my father, I want to kill you, I want to kill you!"
"Do you know what your father was doing when I killed him?" Xu Qingmo looked at Yueyue, who was caught by Qu Lian, with eyes as cold as those from the abyss.
Yueyue was probably frightened. She looked at Xu Qingmo with fear on her face.
"Your father is killing people and setting fires. He wants to kill others in exchange for your glory and wealth! Do you know how the killed crew members, their children, and their wives live?" Xu Qingmo looked over the moon. Looking at the woman standing not far away.
The woman looked at Xu Qingmo with a pale face. Of course she knew that her man was engaged in murder and robbery, so when the government came to the door, she knew that her man had probably been caught.
Originally, the woman thought she could see the last side of him, but she didn't expect that he was already a corpse.
"Impossible, my father is a good man, he is a knight, the best good man, my father will not kill people, you are lying, you are lying!" Yueyue could not accept the fact that her father was a water thief, and began to fight desperately struggle.
Qu Lian was accidentally bitten by Yueyue. As soon as she let go, Yueyue rushed in front of Xu Qingmo like crazy. Just when everyone was worried that Yueyue would hurt Xu Qingmo, Xu Qingmo grabbed her. Month after month.
And he twisted the child to the coffin and pressed her face in front of her father: "Open your eyes and see, this is your father. Look at your appearance, look at the amiable father in front of you. How many innocent people have been killed!"
