Chapter 244 Homegrown
Qing Shu was so grateful to Gu Qiang in her heart that she wished she could yell "It's great that you came", but her face didn't show it, "Housekeeper, send someone to guard the door in the future, and don't let cats and dogs come in again." Running around in the mansion."

Gu Qiang responded seriously, "Yes, Miss."

Qing Shu nodded, "Very good." Turning around, took a step, and walked to the front yard, "Housekeeper, Mr. Yan has something to tell me, in order to avoid suspicion, you listen."

Gu Qiang answered in a full-fledged manner, "Yes, Miss."

Zhou Boyan stepped behind Qingshu, staring at Qingshu's heavy steps, the corners of his lips curled slightly, "Housekeeper, don't look at what you shouldn't, and don't care about what you shouldn't." After finally catching her, want to How could he be reconciled to being close to her but not wanting to be ruined by the housekeeper just like that!
Gu Qiang looked at the young figure walking one after the other, with a rare smile in his eyes.I have seen too many figures of women chasing after men, and I always feel that it is a matter of course.Today, he saw the young lady walking ahead in a childish manner, while the always cold and indifferent Mr. Yan was chasing after him. He thought this scene was very interesting.

However, he immediately restrained the smile in his eyes, and followed behind the two with a straight face.Men and women can't get married, no matter how much Mr. Yan likes Miss, it's not appropriate to behave intimately before getting married.He had to put up 120 points of energy, and he had to keep a close eye on Mr. Yan, so that Mr. Yan would not always do things that were out of bounds with the young lady.

When they arrived at the side hall of the front yard, Qing Shu didn't even greet Zhou Boyan, and just sat on the main seat.

Zhou Boyan came in behind her and sat on a chair that was neither far nor close to her.With the butler around, no matter how close you sit, you can't get close.

The butler came in at last and stood aside.

Seeing Qing Shu's lack of interest, Zhou Boyan didn't take it seriously, "There's bad news or good news, which one do you want to hear first?"

Qing Shu listened to his trickery, curled her lips unceremoniously, without giving any face, "You don't want to talk about it."

Gu Qiang immediately lowered his head.

Zhou Boyan was probably used to it, and he didn't have any temper at all, "Let's tell the bad news first, Li Haitang is dead."

Qing Shu was startled, "What?"

"After finding out Li Haitang's whereabouts, the officers and soldiers went to arrest her without delay. They never thought that when they found her hiding place, they found that she had been dead for a long time, and the house was ransacked." Zhou Boyan said with some reservations.The actual situation is that Li Haitang died a miserable death. He had obviously been humiliated before his death, and died naked on a bed with messy bedding, with bruises on his neck.Furthermore, there were more than a dozen corpses scattered about in the garden, both men and women, all of whom were Li Haitang's confidantes.Only a personal maid named A Yuan next to her disappeared.

Qing Shu was speechless for a long time.It was true that she hated Li Haitang, but she was shocked to hear that Li Haitang had died.A woman, from a helpless poor girl to a successful business, can be regarded as a heroine in the era of male supremacy.Putting aside personal grievances, she admired Li Haitang quite a bit.Now that Li Haitang is dead, the answer she wants has sunk into the bottom of the water and will remain a mystery forever.

Zhou Boyan said again, "Anything else is good news, the Xiao family and Concubine Xiao are down."

Qingshu was shocked once again, thinking of the whole family copying and beheading and harming the nine clans staged in the costume drama, "Xiaozhi County, he..."

Zhou Boyan looked at her with a smile, "You are his benefactor, and people with the surname Xiao in his lineage will be grateful to you for the rest of their lives."

Qing Shu couldn't understand what he was talking about at all, "If this is a joke, I would say it's not funny at all."

"To be exact, the winter wheat you successfully planted saved the lives of his lineage, and his fairness and strictness in Xiao Yuan's case allowed him to keep his official position." Xiao Zhixian's lineage Ren was originally a side branch of the Xiao family, not a direct lineage, plus the two things he said, the superiors did not convict him.

After hearing this, Qing Shu felt lucky for Xiaozhi County, but at the same time sighed, politics and officialdom were never separated from blood.She was a little scared, what would happen if her younger brother wanted to become an official when he grew up?Then he smiled wryly, as long as a person is alive, no matter what he does or where he is, he cannot do without fighting.If there is a fight, there will be blood, no matter whether you go to the official career or not.

With Gu Qiang around, Zhou Boyan naturally couldn't get close to Qing Shu, so he let Qing Shu go back and went out with his guards.As soon as he left, he didn't come back until dark, and the ten-man escort behind him returned to the original 11 people.

In Qing Shu's view, what had ended, in Zhou Boyan's view, it was just the beginning.If Li Haitang is alive, he can find out many old things from Li Haitang.But Li Haitang died, and some things became very difficult to investigate.Obviously, Li Haitang was not cautious enough, and was murdered early on.If he couldn't find the escaped maid named A Yuan, he could only search elsewhere.

Qingshu didn't know that Zhou Boyan was still investigating the matter about Li Haitang, she hid in the inner courtyard every day and wrote about ways to earn money.

"Miss, Ding's younger sister is asking to see you." Xiaoyu reported softly.

Qing Shu didn't speak, stared at the paper in his hand that only he could understand, stayed for a moment, then suddenly rolled it into a ball and threw it into the small bamboo basket, "Who wants to see you?"

Xiaoyu replied, "Miss, it's the younger sister of the Ding family who is asking to see you."

Qing Shu sat up straight, "Let her in."

Soon, Ding's younger sister who was waiting outside came in.After she saluted and greeted her, she said nervously, "I got the order from the young lady, so the servant girl told the servant girl's order to the elder brother of the servant girl. The elder brother didn't say anything at the time, but just now he found the servant girl and told the servant girl that he wanted to marry Xu Sanniang, the cook. "

Qing Shu's expression was indifferent, showing no emotion.

Ding's sister became even more nervous, her head drooped, and she dared not speak.

Qing Shu leaned her head, looked out the window, and said after a long time, "Let them come and talk to me. If they are in love, it doesn't matter." She would give them a chance to be together, it was from a young girl. Tong Yan and Tong Yuzhong realized that there was love between them, so he gave them a finishing touch.According to Xiaoya, Xu Sanniang sprained her ankle ten days ago. Ding Jiabao was present at the time. Ding Jiabao helped Xu Sanniang back to the house and rubbed Xu Sanniang's ankle.Xiaoya naturally doesn't understand the serious relationship, so she will tell Qingshu, but she just wants to express to Qingshu that Uncle Ding is very good to her and her mother.When Qingshu warned Xiaoya not to tell others, she guessed that there must be a relationship between Ding Jiabao and Xu Sanniang.

Ding's younger sister was stunned at the time, not knowing what the young lady meant by her words.

Seeing that Ding's younger sister couldn't react, Xiaoyu, who was standing aside, came over and pulled Ding's younger sister, and motioned for her to back down.

Ding's younger sister was stunned for a moment, and after resigning, she grabbed Xiaoyu and went outside the courtyard to ask for advice.

Xiaoyu tapped Ding's sister's forehead, "Silly girl, what Miss means is to ask your brother and the cook to come together to ask for favors from Miss. Don't stand around stupidly, tell your brother quickly."
