Chapter 73 Poor Liu Rong
It turned out that Liu Rong was more beautiful than Liu Ying, even though he was a concubine, he was favored by many people, especially those sons who were also concubines.Although Liu Ying looked down on the concubine, she was not happy to see Liu Rong in demand.

Marrying a daughter-in-law and marrying a daughter in the market is commonly known as the order of teeth, but it doesn't need to be the case for engagement.But Liu Ying refused, saying that her younger sister was engaged but her older sister wasn't. Where would she put her face?He was in a daze to prevent Liu Rong from finalizing the marriage.

Liu Ying's mother is the mistress of the house, so of course she prefers her daughter.Liu Rong's mother and daughter had no choice but to watch helplessly as many outstanding young men of the right age missed them.

For this reason, Liu Rong shed many tears in private.

"This matter started after Liu Rong was 13 years old, and it has been more than two years or almost three years now. Liu Ying's pick and choose can't be settled, and Liu Rong can only delay. Seeing Men of the appropriate age in the capital who rely on the spectrum are all available, but she was originally a concubine, and her choices are getting narrower and narrower."

After hearing this, Jiang Xiyuan wiped his lower lip with his fingers, and sneered with disdain: "Liu Rong is dull, and Liu Ying is arrogant. Let me just say that the girls in the capital are nothing more than that, boring."

Xia Chu looked at Jiang Xiyuan and blinked, and muttered in a low voice, "Didn't you say that you have broken sleeves?"

Jiang Xiyuan turned his head and raised his eyebrows, "Do you have an opinion?"

"What can I say?" Xia Chu moved his mouth and said something vaguely. Seeing that Jiang Xiyuan took a breath, as if he was going to make a long speech, he rushed ahead of him and said, "Dongmei also gave a clue. !"

Jiang Xiyuan's words were choked back, and his heart stopped, "Say it!"

"Listen to Xu Lu, I didn't finish listening just now, my lord, you came in." After Xia Chu finished speaking, he glanced at Jiang Xiyuan's expression, "I don't mean anything else!"

Xu Lu took over the conversation: "I asked Dongmei if there was anything unusual about Liu Rong these days. Dongmei said that Liu Rong was in a bad mood. This Liu Rong always looked depressed. If Dongmei said she was in a bad mood , I think it should be very bad."

"Since when have you been in a bad mood?"

"It's been a long time, and she can't remember it. If she has to say it, it may have started years ago. She said that Liu Rong didn't like to go out, and sometimes she didn't even leave the house for a day. She saw it several times. Liu Rong cried secretly by herself. What Dongmei meant was that Liu Ying bullied her hard."

"How cruel?" Jiang Xiyuan and Xia Chu asked in unison.

Xu Lu was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Oh, she often heard Liu Ying say to Liu Rong, 'My marriage is settled, and yours will be soon, what's the hurry?', or 'A concubine is a concubine. , This is fate, who do you blame?', probably these words."

"What's the point?" Xia Chu was puzzled, "According to Liu Ying's behavior of letting Liu Rong serve her as her maid, I guess Liu Rong should have gotten used to hearing these words."

"Dongmei said the same thing. But she said that Liu Rong was in a bad mood for a while, and she was so angry after hearing these words that she once smashed a tea set in the house. But Dongmei also defended her daughter, saying She has always been weak-tempered, she has been bullied by her sister for so many years without saying a word, and she will not kill anyone."

"Of course Dongmei talks to her own girl." Xia Chu didn't take it seriously, and reached out to ask for Xu Lu's transcript, holding the paper in one hand to read, and holding the teacup in the other hand, sipping sips, frowning slightly.

Seeing that she was almost done drinking, Jiang Xiyuan grabbed the teacup from her hand, poured more than half of it, and stuffed it back into her hand.The movements are smooth and natural, and Xia Chu's pick-up is also very natural.Xu Lu, who was on one side, looked at him slightly sideways.

"You said..." Xia Chu nodded the paper in his hand, "Did anything special happen between the years and now? Why is Liu Rong in a bad mood?"

Jiang Xiyuan lowered his head and thought for a moment, and the corner of his lips twitched: "It's about Liu Ying's engagement."

"That's right!" Xu Lu nodded, "The marriage between Liu Ying and Fang Yi fell through, so Liu Rong's marriage will be delayed again."

Xia Chu shook his head slowly, "That happened last month, years ago..."

"I told you. About Liu Ying's engagement." Jiang Xiyuan looked at Xia Chu, his smile remained the same, but there was a hint of complacency in it.

Xia Chu suddenly laughed too, and snapped his fingers, "Yes!"

Xu Lu looked at his two leaders blankly, and suddenly felt particularly frustrated, "What do you mean?"

"Think about it again." Xia Chu didn't answer Xu Lu directly, and took out the letter about Fang Yi's engagement from his sleeve, and handed it to Jiang Xiyuan.

After Jiang Xiyuan unfolded it and read it, he was surprised and said, "Where did you find out? I asked Liu Qi to ask, but he still hasn't replied to me. You... are you accurate?"

Xia Chu chuckled, "Of course I have my way. The name is so detailed, it should be indistinguishable. My lord, you used to work in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. If it is a murder case, will the files go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice in the end?"

"Well, if the government government didn't seize it privately or make omissions, it should be in the Ministry of Punishment." Jiang Xiyuan glanced at the letter, "It was a homicide case last October, so it should be submitted. If it wasn't a homicide case, there is nothing we can do about it. "

"Here, although the time is not very detailed, there is an approximate range. Please look for it, sir? See if you can find the file."

"Then what are you doing?"

"I'm going to meet Liu Rong for a while!"

When I saw Liu Rong again at the beginning of Xia, she was much more haggard and thinner than when she was at Wanfo Temple.The cautious look in his expression deepened.

Liu Rong was a little surprised when he saw Xia Chu and Xu Lu. Under Mrs. Liu's scrutinizing eyes, he bent his knees and bowed to the ceremony, "I don't know what the two officials want from me?"

Xia Chu asked her to get up and sit down, thought for a while, then turned to Madam Liu and said, "Madam Liu, can I have a private talk with Liu Rong?"

Mrs. Liu looked at Liu Rong, the hostility in her eyes flashed, and she said to Xia Chu: "Master, is there any clue about Xiaoying's death?"

"I'm ashamed, the matter is still under investigation. But Madam Liu, don't worry, we will definitely give Liu Ying justice."

"I can't trust the officials." Mrs. Liu picked up the tea and didn't drink it. She just squeezed the tea lid and scraped it. From the corner of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of Liu Rong looking at her carefully, and put the tea cup heavily on the table. one put.

Liu Rong seemed to tremble subconsciously, lowered her head in panic, her face was red, as if she was about to cry.

Xia Chu frowned slightly, and asked Madam Liu again: "Madam Liu? Is it convenient for me to talk to Liu Rong alone?"

Mrs. Liu stood up, "It's convenient. You can talk about it, sir." She walked up to Liu Rong, stretched out her hand and stroked Liu Rong's hair heavily. Liu Rong was obviously in pain, but she didn't dare to make a sound.

"What did the official ask you, you have to answer it properly! Your sister hasn't closed her eyes yet, and Xiao Ying must be watching you!" The end of the sentence was a little choked up, and after finishing speaking, Mrs. Liu turned around and strode away. It fell with a bang.

Xia Chu looked puzzled at the direction Mrs. Liu left, and pulled her gaze back with a low sob.

"Has Mrs. Liu always treated you like this?" Xia Chu asked Liu Rong.

Liu Rong covered her face with a handkerchief, shrugged her shoulders and cried silently for a while, then raised her head and said, "Mother used to..., although it wasn't kind, it wasn't like that."

"Is that after Liu Ying died?"

Liu Rong nodded, "After my sister's funeral is over, my mother seems to dislike me. Sometimes when she sees me in a daze, she suddenly gets angry and asks me why I am alive, but my sister is dead."

Xia Chu sighed silently, and comforted him: "The pain of losing a daughter is inevitable."

"But what does that have to do with me! I'm not the one who urged her to divorce the Fang family!" Liu Rong said in a low voice, tears streaming down her face, but she didn't dare to cry out, so she hurriedly used a handkerchief The son covered his mouth.

She has had a hard time these past few days. She wanted to avoid Mrs. Liu, but Mrs. Liu always looked for her.After calling her over, he picked her nose and eyes, said how unbearable she was, how sensible and polite Liu Ying was, and cried as she spoke.After crying, he insulted her with all kinds of verbal guns and sticks. He was simply a lunatic.Liu Rong felt that she was driving her crazy too.

"What does this have to do with the Fang family's divorce?" Xia Chu asked.

Liu Rong's sobs paused for a moment, then she wiped her eyes and said, "Mother said, if I get engaged to Fang's family, my sister won't be able to go to Wanfo Temple this time, and she has to prepare her own dowry at home. If you don't go Wanfo Temple, my sister will not die. Lord, what kind of reason do you think this is?"

"Then do you know why Liu Ying and Fang Yi's marriage has not been settled?" Xia Chu asked, and after asking, he pushed the tea in front of her, Liu Rong raised his head to thank him, but his eyes did not meet Xia Chu , then lowered his head again.

"Mother heard that Mr. Fang's life is hard. The girl who was betrothed before died before she got married, so she had to let her father reject this marriage, and now she regrets it..." Liu Rong muttered dissatisfiedly, "The marriage is not settled, isn't my sister still dead? Fate is coming, what does it have to do with Mr. Fang?"

"Mr. Fang's life is hard?" When Xia Chu heard this, he guessed that Mrs. Liu probably knew about Fang Yi's previous engagement. "Who did Mrs. Liu listen to?"

"Then who knows." Liu Rong picked the tablecloth on the tea table with his fingers, with a look of resentment on his face, "Before I saw Mr. Fang was a good-looking talent, I decided to marry him. After hearing the rumors and rumors, I will do the same to the other family... Now, Who knows if it's retribution."

Xia Chu looked at her for a while, and asked straight to the point: "Liu Rong, you don't seem to feel sorry for your sister's death at all."

"I..." Liu Rong raised his eyes, his fingers were a little tense, and he looked at Xia Chu with a complicated expression.

"Last time when I asked you, you said that your relationship with Liu Ying was okay, but in fact, according to our investigation, it doesn't seem to be the case. I'll ask you again now, what do you say?"
