Princess, the lord has come to beg for marriage again!

Chapter 961 Sorry, I'm late.

Chapter 961 Sorry, I'm late.

Zhan Siqi suddenly pounced on Dugu Xuejiao, as if grasping at a life-saving straw, he firmly grasped the corner of her clothes.

"I, I stabbed someone with a dagger."

Dugu Xuejiao's heart tightened, and she and Madam Qian exchanged glances, both of them thought of Leng Qian at the same time.

But she had already guessed in her heart, and when she heard this, she was calmer than Mrs. Qian.

She reached out and stroked Zhan Siqi's hair, soothing her gently.

"It's okay, don't be afraid. I'm here, and my uncle and grandma are here. No one can hurt you. Tell me what happened before. Who is that person? Why are you stabbing someone with a dagger? Where did you stab him? "

Being comforted by her, Zhan Siqi's mood eased a little, but whether it was because of fear, the tears still kept flowing.

"I, I, it wasn't me, I didn't do it on purpose, it was, it was he who wanted to do something, I was too, too scared, so I had no choice but to stab him with a dagger.

Woooooo, I really didn't mean it, it was he, he wanted to touch me, woooooo, in a hurry, I stabbed his arm, and then ran away.

I don't know who he is, it seems a bit familiar, I was too scared for a moment, I just can't remember, it seems that I have seen him somewhere, I, I really can't remember. "

She finished talking intermittently, so frightened that she couldn't speak fluently, her small body trembled even more, like a poor bird that had been destroyed by a storm.

Dugu Xuejiao pressed her into her arms and frowned slightly. Even though she knew she was feeling uncomfortable, she still had to ask.

"You just stabbed him in the arm, didn't you? Didn't he die when you left?"

It stands to reason that if it was just stabbed in the arm, he would definitely not die.

But now that someone has seen Leng Qian's body, it's really hard to tell.

It's fine if no one sees the two arguing, but if anyone sees it, Zhan Siqi is the biggest suspect no matter whether she stabbed him to death or not.

Dugu Xuejiao wanted to ask the matter clearly before going to see the corpse, if the people from Dali Temple came, she would have no chance to intervene.

Madam Qian's expression was also serious, but she was more angry.

"Oh, how dare you act presumptuously in our house, or on the day of my birthday banquet, it's really going to die. It's good that such a wicked animal dies."

Although Mrs. Qian didn't know Leng Qian very well, she had heard about him to some extent. Every time he came to the house, the second room would not stop.

Once, Leng Qian had an affair with a little girl from the second room in a rockery, and was later found out that the girl was probably forced, and she threw herself into a well in shame and anger.

If it hadn't been for killing someone, this matter wouldn't have come to her. Aunt Leng of the second room still wanted to help cover it up.

Mrs. Qian didn't have a good impression of the people in the second room, except for the well-behaved Zhan Siqi, who was barely better.

Zhan Jin has no skills, and likes to cause trouble, so he wants to rely on his elder brother to be a rice bug, and he is unwilling to separate the family.

Mrs. Xun is greedy for petty gains, and she is also uninitiated. In addition, she gave birth to three daughters in a row, and Aunt Leng manipulated her back house. Who told Aunt Leng to give birth to a son?

Mrs. Xun, the mistress of the second room, is just a decoration, otherwise, Aunt Leng would not be so arrogant, knowing what kind of virtue her brother is, and still let him go around!
When Mrs. Qian thought of the smoky second room, she got angry and had a headache.

Dugu Xuejiao coaxed Zhan Siqi again, and asked the whole story.

It turned out that after Leng Qian's arm was broken by himself, he met Zhan Siqi, and then became lustful, and wanted to touch her, so he was stabbed.

But the question is, if Zhan Siqi didn't stab him to death, how would he die?
A group of three people had different thoughts, and their expressions were not very good-looking.

When they came to the gazebo, several people were already standing there.

Zhan Siqi firmly grasped Dugu Xuejiao's clothes with both hands, hiding behind her, not daring to show her head.

Madam Qian went straight to Zhan Shangshu's side, looked down at the corpse on the ground, and immediately turned her head away in disgust.

"Ask clearly, what's going on?"

Zhan Shangshu is tall, with cold facial features, and his face is dark now, making it even more difficult for people to approach.

When looking at Mrs. Qian's originally tense face, the line of the jaw softened a bit.

"People from Dali Temple will be here soon, and the government has blocked the news. No one dares to talk about it."

Madam Qian glanced at him, not in a very good mood.

"Today is my birthday party, but people were killed. Is there someone who is going to make things difficult for me?"

Zhan Shangshu saw dissatisfaction on his wife's face, but he didn't know how to comfort him. He knew very well that his wife was angry with him.

The person lying on the ground is Erfang Aunt Leng's younger brother, and it was Erfang who caused the trouble again.

Mrs. Qian had long proposed to separate the family. It was he who always kept in mind his father's confession before his death and asked him to take care of his younger brother. In addition, Zhan Yan always cried and made trouble and hanged himself.

As long as he mentions separation, he will force him to die, and he can't help it.

Zhan Shangshu didn't want to live with Erfang either, no matter if they were old or young, each one of them would not stop, knowing to cause trouble all day long.

Thinking of him being the Minister of the Ministry of War and having to wipe their butts all the time, how could he not be angry, let alone his wife.

He understood Madam Qian's feelings very well, and felt sorry for her, with guilt all over his face.

In fact, he knew that if Mrs. Qian really wanted to separate the family, there would be a hundred ways to rectify Zhanfeng. The reason why she didn't take tough measures was not because of his face, because she didn't want him to bear the reputation of being unfilial.

But today, at Mrs. Qian's birthday banquet, another life was caused. It was supposed to be a happy day, but seeing blood is inauspicious.

Zhan Shangshu's forehead was throbbing with blue veins, wishing he could kick Zhan Yan to death.

It's useless to forget about this thing, but he spoils his concubine and destroys his wife. If it wasn't for Zhan Fan's blind favor for Aunt Leng, she would be so arrogant!

The last time someone was killed in the mansion, he clearly warned Zhan Fan, but now that this happened again, it was obvious that Zhan Fan ignored his words again.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, a layer of frost condensed on his already cold facial features, and he kicked the man beside him.

"You did a good job! You still have the face to cry!"

Since Madam Qian entered the gazebo, she hadn't looked at Zhan Jin, as usual, she treated him like nothing.

If she hadn't turned a blind eye, she was really afraid that she would lose her temper and cut him down with a knife.

Zhan Yi is not a good product at all, and he always hangs around the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion on weekdays, his body has been hollowed out long ago, how can he bear Zhan Shangshu's kick, he fell like a dog eating mud, and rolled on the ground Go away, yelling.

It is said that the upper beam is not upright and the lower beam is crooked, Zhan Jingwen was raised crookedly, and he is a good girl at a young age, most of which are influenced by him.

Dugu Xuejiao patted Zhan Siqi's hand, blocking her view so that she could not see the corpse on the ground.

Seeing Zhan Shangshu lift his foot to kick Zhanzhen, he narrowed his eyes.

Alas, it really is true that birds of a feather flock together and people form groups.

Both Zhan and his son and Leng Qian are the same piece of rubbish.

Thinking of the little one, he looked around without a trace, but there was no sign of Zhan Jingwen.

They used to hide together behind the rockery and hang out with the maids, so they could wear a pair of pants, but now that Leng Qian is dead, why is Zhan Jingwen gone?Could it be that Leng Qian's death had something to do with him?
The thought flashed away, and the sound of footsteps came from afar.

Dugu Xuejiao turned her head to look, and the first thing that caught her eyes was Zhan Jinghuan's stern face. Behind him were two people who were also acquaintances.

One is Shen Huaixi, and the other is exactly the person she just talked about, Zhan Jingwen.

It seems that they just came from the birthday banquet, because this birthday banquet is held on a big scale, and the male guests and female relatives are separated.

Before that, Dugu Xuejiao had been staying in the birthday hall where the female relatives lived, and had never been to the male guest's side. The closest time to that place was when she met Leng Qian.

When Zhan Siqi saw Shen Huaixi, her tears were like beads with a broken thread, she couldn't hold back anymore, she choked up crying, looking very pitiful.

Zhan Jinghuan approached, subconsciously stood beside Dugu Xuejiao, scanned her up and down, and looked away after making sure she was not injured.

Shen Huaixi saw Zhan Siqi whose eyes were swollen into walnuts at a glance, his eyes were full of pity and guilt.

He took her into his arms and stroked her back carefully.

"Sorry, I am late."

Shen Huaixi originally made an appointment with Zhan Siqi, and took advantage of his coming to the banquet to meet secretly.

But after he came, he was grabbed by a few acquaintances and poured wine one by one, making him reek of alcohol.

Afraid that Zhan Siqi would dislike him, he found a place to change his clothes, drank sober tea, and waited for a long time. Just as he walked out of the yard, he met Zhan Jinghuan who was walking in a hurry. He heard that something happened here.

It's fine if it's just an ordinary place, but when he heard that a corpse was found in the gazebo, he was so frightened that he quickly followed him.

Zhan Siqi burst into tears, unable to speak at all, but hugged him tightly.

Before Zhan Jingwen reached the gazebo, he saw his own father who was paralyzed on the ground and screamed, and ran over in three steps at a time.

Just about to bend down to help Zhan Jin up, when he saw Leng Qian's corpse on the ground, his legs became weak with fright, and he fell to the ground, lying with Zhan Jin.

When he saw Zhan Jinghuan hurriedly sending the guests away, he walked this way, guessing that something happened, so he followed him, but he never dreamed that Leng Qian died!
Obviously not long ago, the two were still molesting the little maid in the rockery, how long have they not seen each other, why did they die?
After all, Zhan Jingwen was young, his face turned pale with fright, and he didn't get up after crawling twice, hugging Zhan Jing, like an orphan and widow fleeing from a refugee.

Zhan Shangshu looked at the hopeless father and son, wishing he could kick him again.

He endured and endured, turning his head to look at Zhan Jinghuan.

"Has the people from Dali Temple come yet?"

Just as he asked for the exit, he heard the sound of chaotic footsteps not far away again.

Several people turned their heads to see that people from Dali Temple were coming in neat blue official uniforms.

Dugu Xuejiao saw Shen Huaicheng who was walking in the front at a glance. She met him once in Wen Guogong's mansion, and she was really impressed with this cousin.

Especially the well-known tortuous love between him and Liu Suying, she couldn't help but want to ask what was going on.

Shen Huaixi also saw him, his lips moved, and he wanted to say something, but when he saw people around him, he closed his mouth again.
