Nongmen Shenjue

That night, Qing Ge entered Shen's house again, stood in the secret passage, and listened to the movement in the secret room separated by a door.

During the day, when Shen Youyun got the news, she was beside her, so she naturally knew about it.It's just that her status is not visible, so she can't come to Shen's house with her, and because of Qu's accident, Shen Youyun has to stay at home, so she can come here quietly tonight.She didn't know the inside story of Qu's miscarriage, she just thought that maybe she could hear a little bit from the mouth of the secret room person.Who knows, not only heard the inside story, but also "follow-up".

Shen Zhanjie was in an irritable mood, and while drinking, he couldn't help blaming Wu Yutong: "It's good that my brother didn't beat me up when something like this happened, but he forbids me to continue using Lefeng Xiaozhu."

"Third Cousin, are you going to send me away? I won't go!" Wu Yutong doesn't like living in a secret room either, but it's very good to be here. After all, it can be regarded as being in the Shen family. The important thing is to spend more time with Shen Zhanjie , and very hidden.She didn't dare to confront Xu's head-on, and only thought that if she was pregnant, she could use the old lady's help to live in Shen's house.

This is what Shen Zhanjie told her from the very beginning. She has no intelligence and is soft-tempered. The goal she set for herself is to become Shen Zhanjie's aunt.

Wu Yutong cried: "My wife's miscarriage was just an accident, and I didn't mean it. Why did the old man come to embarrass you and me? You are his own brother. This old man usually only cares about outside and never cares about things. The third cousin is taking care of it, if you ask me, this Shen family should belong to the third cousin."

Shen Zhanjie sneered: "Who told him to be the boss?"

Also, the old lady is eccentric, even if she doesn't do anything, she is more favored than their younger brothers.

Wu Yutong wiped away tears, and said again: "I heard that this time the eldest wife has hurt her foundation? It's a pity that the eldest son already has brother Chong, otherwise if she can't give birth, the family will definitely not be in the hands of the elder."

Wu Yutong is not stupid, and he often listens to Shen Zhanjie talking about it, so he is very clear about the internal affairs of the Shen family.

Although the Qu family is very capable, if there is no son, the old lady will definitely give Shen Youyun a concubine.Taking a concubine is not feasible in the Qu family, and it will cause the big house and the couple to split up. Shen Youyun can't continue to travel far, but he doesn't have the ability and patience to take care of general affairs. Coupled with the rift between husband and wife, it is easy for others to find a way to deal with it , planning step by step, there is a certain possibility of taking the Shen family into his pocket.

"Brother Chong's child is only five years old, and he has a headache every now and then, so many of them died young." Shen Zhanjie's words are common sense, but it feels weird to say it now.

"Third cousin, you..."

"Clean up, find a chance in two days, and I'll take you out."

"Then, that third cousin will stay with me tonight." Wu Yutong knew that he couldn't change his decision, so he could only settle for the next best thing.

Qing Ge stood for a while before leaving.

An hour later, Qing Ge left and returned.

She squatted down, took out a dozen pieces of charcoal one by one from the clay pot with a big belly, stuffed them in along the rotten gap in the corner of the wooden door, and then blocked all the gaps in the wooden door.She waited motionlessly for an hour, and then she put her hand on the wooden door and knocked a few times.

no respond.

She increased her strength and knocked on the door directly, and the wooden door made a loud knock.If there is someone in the secret room, even if they are asleep, they will be woken up.

However, still no response.

Only then did Qing Ge move the wooden door little by little, let the air flow through the secret room for a while, and then light the fire and go in.

The space of the secret room is the size of the entire Leafing House, so it naturally looks empty to live in.Out of psychological needs, the sleeping place was specially surrounded by a screen.Going around the screen, there was a pink and white bed curtain, and a beautiful woman was wrapped in the quilt. She was motionless at this moment, as if she was sleeping soundly.

Qing Ge was taken aback: Where's Shen Zhanjie?

Frowning, she stretched out her hand to Wu Yutong and breathed, dead.

It's a pity that Shen Zhanjie is not here.

It was getting late at this time, she took away the burnt charcoal and left the Shen family.

It turned out that the murderer who caused the bones of the secret room was actually Qing Ge!

The previous question was answered: Qing Ge didn't die, it was Wu Yutong who died.

Qing Ge didn't know about it, but Mu Qingyan recalled that after Wu Yutong fell asleep that night, Shen Zhanjie left the secret room.Although there is warm and fragrant nephrite in the secret room, the air circulation is not good and there is a lot of humidity. Shen Zhanjie doesn't like to sleep here.In the past, he would bring Wu Yutong to live in the upper room, but Qu's just had an accident, so many accidents happened, so he could only stay in the secret room.

Probably because he was sleepy in the middle of the night, Shen Zhanjie left first, but escaped unharmed.

Shen Zhanjie lied about the time of Wu Yutong's death, but the reason why he didn't report the matter to the authorities was true.He didn't dare to tell Xu Shi about Wu Yutong's existence, for fear that Xu Shi would make trouble, but there was a more important reason, that he was afraid that Qu Shi would take advantage of this situation to make trouble.

Don't look at Qu's doing nothing during the miscarriage, but losing a child is no small matter for a woman, who believes that she doesn't hold grudges?What's more, Shen Zhanjie has been fighting with the Qu family.Only the eldest son inherits the ancestral property inherited from the Shen family, and the others only get a share of dividends every year, which is far from enough for Shen Zhanjie.The two parties have conflicts of interest and personal grievances. If they learn that Wu Yutong died in a secret room, Qu will do nothing but expose the matter, and Shen Zhanjie will be hard to get rid of.

If you do an inspection, you can find out that the cause of Wu Yutong's death was asphyxiation.

However, Shen Zhanjie couldn't let this matter be exposed, otherwise all the benefits he was eager for would be wiped out.

In view of this, he concealed the news of Wu Yutong's death, pretended to send Wu Yutong away, and then created an accident to collapse the entrance of the secret room, eliminating the possibility of other people entering to check.

For the couple who knew the existence of the secret room, they would notice something abnormal when they heard that the secret room collapsed, but they would never think that there was someone dead inside. They would only think that Shen Zhanjie was cautious, and worried that Xu would find out or be pierced by the big room in the future. , This is "destruction of corpses and traces".

Then, the old lady may have really followed the advice of an "expert" to fill the well, but there is Shen Zhanjie behind this expert.

Mu Qingyan discussed with Wen Jixue, but he was still a little worried.

Knowing that Qing Ge is the murderer is useless, the important thing is to find Qing Ge, otherwise there will be no evidence, even Qing Ge is unknown to the outside world, how to settle the case?And because it is suspected that the second son raised by the Qu family was born to Qing Ge, and it is suspected that Qing Ge is dead, the matter is even more troublesome.

but……

"Back then, Mrs. Qu was vague about this matter, and we guessed that she was an insider, but she was not. Then, she was so self-conscious because she realized that the real identity of the bones in the secret room was Shen Zhanjie? Or? , she actually knows the identity of the bones, and knows that the murderer is Qing Ge, but she had concerns and no opportunity in the past, now that the bones are exposed, she wants to use this to deal with Shen Zhanjie?"

After all, these are the two possibilities.

The first possibility means that Qing Ge did not tell Qu Shi about this matter, and the second possibility is that Qing Ge told Qu Shi the truth.The difference between the two possibilities lies in the depth of the relationship between the long-lost sisters.

"I prefer the second one." Mu Qingyan said: "According to common sense, the relationship between the two sisters is not deep, and there is even a gap because of Shen Youyun, but Qing Ge attaches great importance to Qu Shi. She secretly violated the previous The three of them made an agreement to remain with Shen Youyun, but after discovering that Wu Yutong had hurt Qu's and Shen Zhanjie attacked her brother, in order to protect Qu's interests, she murdered her very decisively."

There are several rooms in the Shen family, the eldest room is in charge, the second room is in charge of technology, the third room is in charge of export sales, and the fourth room is in charge of eating and drinking.Every house has a small abacus, and the strength of the third house can compete with the big house. If there is no third house, the big house is even more secure.

Wen Jixue said: "Looking at her swift and straightforward actions, this is by no means the first time she has killed someone."

It's not too difficult to guess.Qing Ge lived in a complex and sinister environment since childhood. She may have killed someone for self-protection or profit.As for Qing Ge, who looks soft and gentle, but in fact he is very similar to Qu Shi, and because of the influence of the environment, he is more ruthless.

Mu Qingyan thought of Qing Ge's strange attachment to Qu's, and suddenly asked: "You said, if that child was born by Qing Ge, is she really dead?"

Wen Jixue raised her eyebrows: "If she is not dead, is she willing to send her son away?"

"Maybe she doesn't want to give it to someone else, but to give it to Qu Shi..." He thought it was possible, his eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Tell me, if she is really alive, where will she be? Will she still be with Shen Youyun?" ?”

"Shen Youyun is willing to take her?" No one knows that Shen Youyun is a romantic nature, traveling everywhere, landscape customs account for part of it, and the other part is beauty.Wouldn't it be an eyesore if there were Qing songs to follow all the time?

Mu Qingyan nodded: "That's true."

Wen Jixue gave him an idea: "Actually, you don't have to think so much. Didn't you cheat Qu Shi before? Then cheat her again. Ask her directly about Qing Ge! When Shen Youyun lived in another courtyard outside the city for a long time, Qing Ge is with him, no matter how well hidden, someone will always see, even if there is no one, it can be said that there is."

Mu Qingyan smiled and said, "Then my elder brother asked me where the identity card is, what should I say?"

"Witness? Shen Zhanjie isn't it! Didn't he see Qing Ge in the garden with his own eyes, and told Qu Shi, if she refuses to cooperate, we will ask Shen Zhanjie."

Mu Qingyan was stunned for a while, and finally realized: "This threat is serious enough."

Originally, the scene in the garden aroused Shen Zhanjie's suspicion. If it wasn't for this, he wouldn't have searched around and found the secret room.If Shen Zhanjie was asked again if he had seen a woman similar to Qu's, Shen Zhanjie must have thought of the scene at the beginning, and immediately realized that it was not Qu's that night, which triggered a series of follow-ups.For Qu, she was most afraid of Qing Ge's identity being exposed, because it would not only affect her, but also her two sons, especially the son Qing Ge left behind.

Since she was willing to raise the child, she must have feelings for her younger sister, and since she has raised her for five years, it is absolutely impossible for Qing Ge's birth to threaten the child's future.
