As a medical concubine

Chapter 52 Interrogation
Doesn't Liao Zicheng like to be alone?Why did you call two helpers this time?Huazhu raised her eyes, looked at Liao Zicheng, and smiled faintly, "Congratulations, you have become the son-in-law of the Wang family, and with the backing of the Wang family, you will definitely be able to skyrocket in the future..."

Liao Zicheng glanced at Hua Zhu, and said lightly, "Thank you."

Hua Zhu was stunned, Yan Bo cleared his throat, and changed the topic decisively, "Well... I checked all the pharmacies in the city according to the time when Mrs. Dong bought musk, and it turned out that she had indeed bought large quantities of ice flakes, rushes and woody incense! And I also asked the servants in Mrs. Dong's shop, she doesn't use musk, and she has never had any kind of disease that needs woody incense, rushes or borneol for treatment. So, there is only one possibility, she bought it for others ! Who is that person? It must be her master Liu Zhaozhao! Therefore, the deceased is Liu Zhaozhao!"

He Liancheng shook his head and index finger, and said solemnly: "Liu Zhaozhao died six years ago!"

Yan Bo said: "It's possible that she faked her death, and then she has been living in a certain place with anonymity, and she didn't really die until recently."

He Liancheng shook his finger again, "If Liu Zhaozhao was still alive, he would have kept in touch with Mrs. Dong, but according to the results of my investigation, Mrs. Dong has been single for the past few years, without marriage, and without handkerchiefs."

Yan Bo frowned, "Then how do you explain what Madam Dong bought? She doesn't use it herself!"

He Liancheng's phoenix eyes stared, "Of course she doesn't need it! She bought it six years ago and it will expire! Although the deceased also happened to use musk or something, it can't be the batch bought by Mrs. Dong! The deceased It has nothing to do with Mrs. Dong!"

"Stop arguing." Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Hua Zhu interrupted them, and then asked the calm Liao Zicheng, "What do you think?"

"The deceased knew Mrs. Dong as you mentioned. The musk, borneol, woody incense, and rushes used were from the batch Mrs. Dong bought six years ago, but whether the deceased is Liu Zhaozhao remains to be verified." Finished the analysis expressionlessly. , Liao Zicheng opened the curtain to look around, and said, "Get out of the car, that Mrs. Dong should give us the answer."

Hua Zhu hurried to Liao Zicheng's side, looked out from the gap in the curtain, and found that the carriage stopped at the gate of a very secluded courtyard, "Oh, the action is so fast, it seems that someone can't wait to hug the beauty back !"

After finishing speaking with a sneer, he didn't notice that his hair fell gently on Liao Zicheng's exquisite fingers. Liao Zicheng rubbed her soft hair in a mysterious way, a faint softness flickered in his eyes, but he was listening After finishing her words, her eyelashes trembled, leaving only endless indifference.

Hua Zhu opened the curtain and went out, jumped off the ground, looked at Yan Bo with a surprised face and said, "What's wrong, brother-in-law? Do you know this place?"

Yan Bo looked left and right, dumbfounded, "Liyun Street, this... this is my third brother's yard!"

"You didn't find the wrong place, did you? Why did Mrs. Dong live in my third brother's little courtyard?" Yan Bo asked Liao Zicheng beside him as if struck by lightning.

Not only Yan Bo, but also Hua Zhu and He Liancheng were very surprised.Calculated according to the time, Liu Zhaozhao and Mrs. Dong came to Langya seven years ago. At that time, Sanye Yan was not dead yet. Could it be... How many of them knew each other?
Liao Zicheng knocked on the door and said, "You will see Mrs. Dong."

After a while, a short and fat middle-aged woman opened the door for them. When she saw a group of young men in brocade clothes and a pretty girl, she asked in surprise, "Who are you?"

Hua Zhu stepped forward and said with a smile: "We are Mrs. Dong's regular customers. We have something to visit. Please pass it on for us."

The maid touched the ribbon around Hua Zhu's waist, nodded and said, "That's right, it's her stitches, everyone, please wait a moment."

After the maidservant entered the room to communicate, Mrs. Dong met them in the outer room.Mrs. Dong wears a pleated skirt with pinched gold silk pipa, embroidered with agate buttons, and a white gauze pleated skirt with a red background. The skirt is embellished with pearls. The red gold colorful phoenix in the middle of the house is shaking, Huazhu almost thought that she saw a daughter from some family.

Mrs. Dong invited them to sit down on the chairs beside her, "Masters please sit down, Miss Nian please sit down."

She didn't know Liao Zicheng and others yet, so Hua Zhu introduced them one by one, "My brother-in-law, Mr. Yan, Mr. Liao."

Mrs. Dong hastily bowed to everyone, "I don't know that the honored guest is coming, and I am far away from welcoming you, and I am disrespectful."

Yan Bo smiled angrily and said: "We were abrupt and didn't say hello to Mrs. Dong in advance." Even so, he sat down without hesitation, "By the way, why did you live with me for three... three years? Don’t know where to go shopping once? It’s too far away, isn’t it convenient to go to the store at ordinary times?”

Mrs. Dong said: "This is the yard my lady left me. When I was desperate, I thought about selling it, but I couldn't bear it."

Hua Zhu and others took their seats one after another, and Mrs. Dong began to make tea.

There were eight teacups on the tray on the table, all of which were covered face down on a soft red silk cloth. On the corner of the silk cloth, there was a drop of dark color stained by water stains.

Liao Zicheng tapped the bottom of the teacups one by one with his fingers intentionally or unintentionally, and tapped a few more times at the two rightmost teacups.

Huazhu noticed Liao Zicheng's movements, and when Mrs. Dong turned to take the tea, she swiftly opened the two teacups and found that they were still hot, and there was a faint lip balm on the rim of one of them.It is very likely that Mrs. Dong had just greeted a certain guest before they entered the door.Huazhu withdrew her hand and asked with a smile, "Did we disturb your rest?"

Mrs. Dong brought the brewed tea, and picked five more teacups from the tray, seemingly casually, but avoided the two used ones: "No, I just embroidered in the back room."

"Are you alone?" Hua Zhu asked.

"Yes, I don't have any friends." Mrs. Dong replied with a smile.

Hua Zhu gestured to He Liancheng, He Liancheng understood, touched his chest and said, "Oh no, my jade pendant is gone! It's a birthday present from the emperor's grandmother! What should I do?"

Hua Zhu asked, "Did you fall into the Li residence?"

"It's possible! I have to go back and look for it!" Saying that, he walked away without looking back.

Hua Zhu and Yan Bo took a few sips from their teacups, but Liao Zicheng didn't drink from other people's cups, so he didn't move.

Madam Dong looked at Huazhu's dress and said with a smile, "I chose several colors when I made it, and finally I chose red and white, which match Miss Nian very well."
