Although first-rate journalists don't like to report on such personal matters, second- and third-rate reporters seize the opportunity to report it.
Therefore, not only the local residents are deeply interested in the inheritance of the Hongli family, but also who Zhu Shi will choose to be her husband has become the focus of everyone's attention, and some people even use it as a bet.
In short, this incident has become the focus of news, but Hongli's house located by Hongye Lake is so quiet that it is suffocating.
Although Hong Xiangzhu and Hong Xiangmei's family are still stranded here, they have almost no contact with Hong Xiangsong's mother and son. They all stay in their own rooms, speculating on each other's thoughts.
Now the Hong Li family is blowing four typhoons with mutual interests and entanglements; these include Hong Xiangsong, Hong Xiangzhu, Hong Xiangmei, and Zhu Shi.
In this situation, Zhu Shi's stance is more sympathetic. Although the three sisters Hong Xiangsong, Hong Xiangzhu, and Hong Xiangmei hated each other, they had the same mentality of hating Zhu Shi.
Still, none of them had hatred written on their faces. On the contrary, they all tried their best to show their courtesy to Zhu Shida.
Zhu Wenwu and Xin Youzhi were probably instigated by their parents. They came to Zhu Shi's place every day to talk to him. The arrogant and rebellious Zhu Wenwu seemed confident from the beginning, while the frivolous and slightly clever Xin Youzhi always circled around Zhu Shi, using all kinds of tricks such as flattery, flattery, flattery, fawning... Useful.
However, Zhu Shi is not a simple girl. It is not difficult for her to feel that she has become the object of hatred and curse from the Hongli family, but she is not timid at all; whether Zhu Wenwu, who is arrogant and confident, or Regardless of the frivolous and impetuous Xin Youzhi, she treats them all with a normal heart.
Whenever they come to his room, Zhu Shi never forgets to ask Yuan Zhuang to stand by in the next room.
Zhu Shi didn't even reject the masked Zuo Qing; since Zuo Qing never came to visit her, she often visited Zuo Qing's house.
Moreover, the circumstances under which these two men met were very strange. When Zhu Shi went to visit Zuo Qing, he never forgot to take Yuan Zhuang with him; when Zuo Qing and Zhu Shi met, Hong Xiangsong was always by his side. Because they always met in the company of Hong Xiangsong and Yuan Zhuang, the conversations between the two were often interrupted.
Zuo Qing, who was wearing a mask, almost never spoke because he was aware of his ugly appearance, so it was Zhu Shi who spoke when the two met. But when her conversation involves Zuo Qing's past, Hong Xiangsong will answer on his behalf and change the topic without any trace.
In addition, the reason why Zhu Shi was in such a dangerous situation and still remained safe was entirely because of Yuan Zhuang. Otherwise, Zhu Wenwu and Xin Youzhi would have resorted to violence and took Zhu Shi as their own.
Everyone knew that if Zhu Wenwu and Xin Youzhi dared to commit violence against Zhu Zhi, this ugly giant would definitely break their necks without hesitation.
Lawyer Gu Gong also explained to Tian Cunda about the character Yuan Zhuang.
"Yuan Zhuang has been an orphan since he was a child. Zhu Shi's mother adopted him because she sympathized with his plight and let him grow up with Zhu Shi. So when Zhu Shi's parents died and Mr. Hong Li took Zhu Shi home to take care of him, Yuan Zhuang Zhuang also came to Hongli's house with Zhu Shi. His loyalty to Zhu Shi was beyond doubt. He would listen no matter what Zhu Shi said. Even if Zhu Shi asked him to kill someone, Yuan Zhuang would kill that person without thinking. people."
Lawyer Gu Gong originally said this last sentence casually, but the moment he said this sentence, he was stunned for a long time.
After a while, lawyer Gu Gong and Tian Chunda couldn't help but glance at each other, as if they were trying to find out what was in each other's minds.
Finally, lawyer Gu Gong looked regretful and coughed dryly, while Tian Chunda also deliberately changed the topic: "By the way! Is Yuan Zhuang responsible for planting chrysanthemums at Hong Li's house?"
"Well, yes, you saw those chrysanthemums, right? Although his brain is not very flexible, he is a master at growing chrysanthemums! These gardening skills were taught by Zhu Shi's late father."
When lawyer Gu Gong said this, he couldn't help but frown subconsciously.
"By the way, is there any news about Qin Jing'an?"
"Oh, before we made the will public, we searched for his whereabouts across the country, but so far, there are still no clues. Alas!"
At this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through Tian Chunda's head - this matter was like a devil playing tricks on the world. He didn't understand why he had such thoughts, but he couldn't get rid of them.
"Mr. Gu Gong, you said Yuan Zhuang is an orphan, but do you know his origin?"
When lawyer Gu Gong heard this, he immediately showed a very surprised look on his face. He looked at Tian Chunda for a while, and said breathlessly: "What are you talking about? Mr. Tian Chunda. Do you suspect that Yuan Zhuang is Qin Jing'an? How could you do that? I have such an idea..."
"That's what I just thought of on the spur of the moment... Okay! I take back my question. Alas! What happened to me today? In fact, I was just wondering whether Mr. Hong Li would entrust his illegitimate son to Zhu Shi's mother to raise him. What? But if that’s the case, someone should have noticed it!”
"That's true. Besides, Mr. Hong Li is a handsome man, and Ms. Qin Ju - although I have never met her personally, but she can get Mr. Hong Li's love, I believe she must be a great beauty. So. , How could such two people give birth to a son like Yuan Zhuang? Yuan Zhuang is just an expert at growing chrysanthemums, and by the way, he is still keen on making chrysanthemum dolls! "
"Chrysanthemum doll?"
Tian Chunda frowned.
"Oh, Mr. Hong Li once taught Yuan Zhuang how to make chrysanthemum dolls. I wonder if he remembered this and recently started working hard to make chrysanthemum dolls. That man! As long as you don't make him angry, he is a calm man. But , I have never thought about his origin! Well, since you have this question, let’s investigate his background!”
Lawyer Gu Gong sighed.
*******
November 15th - it has been half a month since Zuo Qing came back, and a month since Tian Chunda arrived here.
This day was the first bloody incident in the Hongli family, and it was also the first step for the devil to take action. However, before describing this murder, there was an episode, which can be said to be the prelude to this murder.
"Mr. Tian Chunda, there are guests coming to see you!"
At about three o'clock in the afternoon on November 15th, Tian Chunda originally moved a chair and sat in the room to think about things as usual, but was later interrupted by the waitress's voice.
