Chapter 14 Peerless elegance

The moment he saw Shen Yichan's face clearly, Gu Huaiqing couldn't help holding his breath.

He has lived in the palace for a long time, and beauties of all colors are commonplace, but no one can match the woman in front of him.It is a kind of beauty that cannot be described in words, only its peerless elegance can be described.

Shen Yichan's beauty does not lie in her appearance, but in her charm and temperament.

Still recovering from her illness and suffering from the loss of her father, wearing white clothes made her look a little more delicate, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, her face was full of sorrow, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes.The first of the ten beauties of the capital city is indeed well-deserved!

Shen Yichan lightly moved her lotus steps, and greeted Gu Huaiqing with a blessing, and said softly, "I've met Mr. Gu."

Facing such a beauty, Gu Huaiqing couldn't help but soften his voice: "Miss Shen, please sit down."

It may be that the screen was torn off, and the incense burner in the bedroom overflowed, or it may be that Shen Yichan's clothes were incensed, Gu Huaiqing's nose lingered with a strong aroma, and he felt a little drowsy for a while.

Shen Yichan had a delicate mind and noticed that Gu Huaiqing seemed uncomfortable with the incense, so while asking Xia He to open the window to breathe, she took the initiative to explain: "I haven't been sleeping well recently, so I lighted some incense to soothe the nerves and help sleep."

Gu Huaiqing rubbed his nose and said, "Well, I heard that girls are good at mixing fragrances."

"The little girl has nothing to do, and the little things she fiddles with at will make adults laugh."

"Let's get down to business, I came here to ask you and your maid a few questions, and I hope I can tell you the truth."

"Sir, please speak, we will know everything."

"Please tell me where you were last night, where you were, and what you did."

Shen Yichan recalled it for a while, and said slowly: "Yesterday I was unwell and my mind was dizzy. I drank half a bowl of porridge for dinner, took the medicine prescribed by the doctor, and went to bed as soon as it got dark. I fell asleep in a daze for an unknown amount of time. My mouth was thirsty, I was sweating, and my whole body was sticky. I woke up Xia He, Xia He helped me up, fed me some water, and called hot water to wipe my body."

"After a good night's sleep, I didn't feel the headache anymore, and my spirits improved a lot. I didn't feel sleepy for a while, so I asked Xia He to help me get up, and I went for a walk in the yard to get some air. After about half an hour like this, When I got close to the house, I felt sleepy again and went back to bed to rest, but soon there was a commotion outside, and it turned out that... something happened to my father..."

Shen Yichan choked up as she spoke, and covered her face with a silk handkerchief, sobbing uncontrollably.

The tears of a woman are the most powerful, not to mention she is a peerless beauty. When she cries, the world is eclipsed.

Gu Huaiqing couldn't stand it no matter how good his martial arts were, he didn't expect to make Shen Meiren cry just by asking a question, he was stunned for a while, not knowing how to comfort her.

Fortunately, Xia He is a clever girl, and immediately patted Shen Yichan's fragrant shoulders, while wiping her tears, she persuaded: "Miss, don't cry, what should you do if you break your body from crying? The master has a spirit in heaven, I definitely don't want to see you so sad!"

Under Xia He's persuasion, Shen Yichan slowly stopped her tears, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and apologized with red eye circles: "I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, I lost my temper... Please continue."

Seeing that Shen Yichan was depressed and her eyes were swollen from crying, Gu Huaiqing turned to Xia He and asked, "Last night, were you the only one in the room to serve Miss?"

Xia He said: "Yes, because the lady's dowry uses the wrong embroidery thread and has to be redone. In order to rush to make the lady's dowry, the master asked all the maids who know how to sew to help in the embroidery room, and the lady only left me to wait on her." .”

"Miss was not feeling well, and she fell asleep after dinner, probably between Shen Shi and You Shi. After the servant waited on Miss to sleep, she also felt tired, so she took a nap on the outer couch. She fell asleep until three o'clock in the middle of the day. , Miss wakes up and asks me to take care of her."

Gu Huaiqing frowned and said, "Three quarters of the Hai hour? How can you determine such an accurate time?"

Xia He pointed to the western clock on the chest of drawers, and said: "When the young lady woke up, she asked me what time was it? The maidservant specially checked the clock, and the pointer on the dial was exactly pointing to three quarters of Hai. The moonlight was very bright that night. It's bright, and the servant girl's eyes are also very good, so I'm sure I can see it right."

Gu Huaiqing turned his head to look at the gilt lion western clock on the chest of drawers, the time on the dial was indeed quite accurate.

Xia He seemed to be very eloquent, and he was eloquent when he started talking: "After the servant fed the young lady water and helped her wash her body, the young lady became interested and insisted on getting out of bed when she saw the red plums blooming beautifully outside the window. Let's go and have a look. The servant girl has no choice but to put a fur cloak on the young lady, and accompany her to the courtyard to admire the plum blossoms."

"Oh, when the lady was walking in the courtyard, she accidentally stepped on a small puddle and almost slipped. Fortunately, the servants helped her in time. Even so, the muddy water still stained the lady's embroidered shoes. Those shoes are very beautiful I like it, and it hurts so much.”

Shen Yichan blushed, coughed softly and said, "There's no need to talk about these details."

"Okay, okay! This servant is talking too much!" Xia He covered her mouth in embarrassment.

Gu Huaiqing smiled and said, "It's okay, please continue."

Xia He continued: "Miss was very interested, admiring the red plums in the courtyard, and even broke a few branches by herself and put them in the plum vase. She didn't go back to her room to rest until the end of Haishi."

"Did you accompany Miss during the whole process?"

"Yes, the maidservant follows Miss every step of the way."

When Gu Huaiqing asked here, he felt that he had finished asking all the questions, so he got up and said goodbye.Shen Yichan ordered her maid Xia He to send him out.

Xia He silently sent Gu Huaiqing to the door, and suddenly stopped him: "My lord, please stay!"

Gu Huaiqing looked back and looked at Xia He with doubts.

Xia He suddenly knelt down in front of Gu Huaiqing.

Gu Huaiqing frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Xia He raised her head, her eyes were filled with tears, and said: "Master Gu, slave... this slave is complaining for the young lady's grievance."

Xia He knelt on the cold ground, her snow-white skirt was stained with mud, but she didn't realize it, she only looked at Gu Huaiqing with pleading eyes.

Gu Huaiqing gave her a hand, and said, "If you have something to say, you don't need to kneel down."

Xia He thanked Gu Huaiqing, stood up and replied: "My lord doesn't know something. Miss lost her mother since she was young. Although she is called Miss, life is not easy. The master is busy with official duties and treats his children very strictly. Miss has a strong personality. Sometimes when I feel wronged, I just feel bored in my heart and don’t complain to others.”

"It's not easy for the lady to reach the age of Ji, and she talked about a good marriage, but on the eve of her wedding, she encountered such a disaster! Maybe it's the heart of a servant, I always feel that the master's departure is too strange, as if... It seems that some people don't want the young lady to get married smoothly..."

Gu Huaiqing suddenly lowered his face: "You are just a servant, don't you think it's too presumptuous to say such a thing?"

"My servant came from a lowly background and was sold into Shen's house since I was a child. Fortunately, there is a young lady who takes care of me. The young lady treats people generously and never treats me as a servant. Now seeing the young lady suffering from the pain of bereavement, the good marriage is about to be lost, the servant feels in her heart It’s like cooking oil in a raging fire, it’s extremely uncomfortable. Although I’m just a servant, I also want to try my best to help my young lady, I just hope that the lord can find out the murderer behind it as soon as possible, and give my young lady justice!”

"This officer will try my best to investigate the case. This is my duty." Gu Huaiqing stared at Xia He's face and asked forcefully, "You said someone was going to kill your lady, what evidence do you have?"

Xia He lowered her head and said, "I have no evidence, but I think Aunt Jiang and the young master are more suspicious. During the day, the master beat and scolded the young master, saying that he would never pass on the property to the young master, and also declared that he would Aunt Jiang rushed to the Zhuangzi, and at night, something happened to the master. Think about it, my lord, once the master passes away, who is most likely to benefit from it?"

Gu Huaiqing couldn't help but look at Xia He twice, this girl is not only loyal to Shen Yichan, but also quite intelligent.

Gu Huaiqing said flatly: "This is just your guess, it is useless without evidence."

"Your servant knows, I'm just speaking out what's in my heart for your reference. Maybe you can find clues based on this and find the murderer."

"Okay, I've made a note of it."

Gu Huaiqing walked out of Shen Yichan's courtyard, a silver moon rose over the treetops, and the cool evening wind brushed over his face, dispelling the lingering incense from his nose, and he immediately felt much more refreshed.

Along the path paved with cobblestones, red plum trees are planted on both sides, full of flowers and fragrant.

Gu Huaiqing walked slowly while bowing his head in thought.Suddenly looked up, but saw a piece of white paper fluttering on the plum branch not far away.

He quickly walked over, only to find that it was not white paper, but a piece of white clothes. The cloth was soft to the touch, and it was high-quality hang silk. This kind of cloth was expensive, and only wealthy families could afford it.

This piece of rag seemed to be left behind by someone who hurried through the Merlin and was scratched by a branch.

Gu Huaiqing tossed and turned suspiciously, inspected carefully, but found nothing, so he stuffed the piece of cloth into his arms and walked towards the kitchen.
