Chapter 626: Borrowing Manpower

"Fifth Miss, don't worry. Just say it clearly. I'm just recording it here. I won't make it difficult for you. This can be regarded as finding out the matter for you!" There was no movement behind the screen. Wen Xichi said in a low voice.

He actually didn't believe what he said, it was just an official discussion. As for how Shao Wanru would deal with himself from now on, it actually had nothing to do with him. Wen Xichi never felt that he was a soft-handed person, as if he knew After his cousin's malicious intent, he also acted very quickly and ruthlessly. It was discovered that his second brother and his cousin had a secret meeting at the rockery, and they were also very ambiguous. Now his parents are very angry.

The mother's intention was to let the second brother marry his cousin, but the father's intention was that such an unruly woman could not become the wife of the wife. It would be fine if she accepted it!

His father was in a dispute and asked him specifically what he meant. Although he didn't say anything explicitly, he also hinted that his cousin had repeatedly sent him things, and even came over at night to bring him food and some small knitting supplies. I don't know. What did he mean? After hearing what he said, my mother's face changed drastically, but my father still slapped the table and stood up.

The cousin then became the concubine of the second brother, because the second brother had not yet married his real wife, and even if it was just a concubine, it would not have a proper position. In other words, in order to show respect for the future second aunt, the two did not really consummate the marriage!

Only after the second sister-in-law comes in in the future and Gu Ximei has been formally greeted can she officially become the second brother's concubine.

He dealt with these matters quickly, and when he saw Gu Xishu looking at him with tears in his eyes, he felt extremely calm, as if the person in front of him was not his caring cousin before.

A cold-hearted person like him would naturally not care more about other people. What's more, he is now in the Criminal Department, and people in the Criminal Department cannot be emotional.

But inexplicably, the more he said such normal words, the more he felt uncomfortable, and even had an inexplicable feeling of guilt. Wen Xichi reached out and rubbed his eyebrows, and those discontinuous dreams appeared inexplicably in his mind.

Of course, the dreams are all fake, and they haven't bothered him for a while, but now there are more and more of them inexplicably. Is it possible that he has been under a lot of pressure lately? Lord Shangshu's intention is, of course, to find out something as soon as possible before reporting it to the emperor.

"Miss Fifth..."

"Master Wen..." The two voices sounded almost at the same time, and then stopped together.

"Miss Fifth, please go first!"

"Master Wen, please go first!" The two of them were silent for a while, and then said together,

"Lord Wen, I'm not being polite. I want to say that you have already checked it out very clearly. In fact, why do you need to ask me? I am a woman in a boudoir, and I can offend people in my boudoir. Fortunately, my life is still considered. Be tough, otherwise Mr. Wen may not be able to see me now!"

With a touch of mockery, he talked about his own affairs, even matters that were life-threatening. This feeling of indifference and indifference made Wen Xichi feel very uncomfortable, as if there was something pressing on his chest.

Suppressing this uncomfortable feeling, Wen Xichi quickly recovered: "Can't Miss Fifth really provide some clues?"

"I really don't have any clues. If I knew someone was harming me, I wouldn't have gone down the mountain at that time. As for the past, which woman would use her reputation to attack!" Shao Wanru said calmly. Although he was calm, there was something in his words. With a touch of aloofness.

This statement is extremely reasonable. The reputation of a woman in a boudoir is so precious. If she makes a slight mistake, she will be doomed. No young lady from aristocratic family dares to joke about her own reputation.

Thinking carefully about what he had found, Wen Xichi couldn't help but sigh for the bad fate of Miss Shao. This fifth Miss of Xingguo Duke's Palace was actually a poor person!

"Since Fifth Miss doesn't know about this, then Wen will leave!" Wen Xichi said decisively.

"Qu Le, send Mr. Wen off!" Shao Wanru was more decisive. Although his voice was weak, it had a bit of cold decisiveness, which seemed to make Wen Xichi leave early without even saying a polite word.

Wen Xichi remembered that when the two met for the first time, the girl was obviously very happy to see him. How could she be so indifferent to him now?

Although the person stood up, her footsteps stopped, and she spoke unconsciously: "Miss Fifth, do you know what happened at the door?"

As soon as he said these words, Wen Xichi regretted a little. He didn't want to interfere in this matter in the first place. He just wanted to watch the excitement. Before, Shao Yanru heard that he was going to go up the mountain to find Shao Wanru to find out what happened, so she specially sent someone to tell him. He helped bring a few people from the Xingguo Palace to Huaguang Temple to deliver some items to Shao Wanru.

This matter was not considered a big deal at first, so Wen Xichi agreed. Unexpectedly, the people coming to Xingguo Duke's Mansion were not only the woman in the manor, but also two nuns from Yuhui Nunnery, saying they were helping Shao Wanru. Although it was a bit strange for a nun to enter Huaguang Temple, it was not a big deal.

Naturally, they took them up the mountain together. As for other things, it had nothing to do with him. He was just taking a walk.

I just didn't expect that what I had planned very clearly before would be broken by my own words at this time.

"Master Wen, do you know what happened?" Shao Wanru was stunned for a moment, and she didn't expect Wen Xichi to talk about it. From the moment Wen Xichi spoke, she knew that he was trying to distance himself from the outside world. He said that the matter had nothing to do with him, so he would not ask anything about it.

Unexpectedly, when I was about to leave at the end, I would say something like this. It was really surprising.

But since he asked, of course Shao Wanru would not let go of such an opportunity!

"Master Wen must have been listening for a while. I wonder what you can tell?"

"What's in the box?" Since Wen Xichi asked, he simply intervened directly. After thinking for a while, he discovered the key point.

"I don't know!" Shao Wanru said calmly, then retorted, "What box?"

She just woke up, and naturally she didn't know why there was a noise outside.

Wen Xichi was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "It was said that there was a box. Your maid said it was not yours, but Yu Hui'an said it was yours. It was found in your quiet room. It was because of this that there was a quarrel." of!"

"My quiet room?" Shao Wanru repeated in surprise.

"It is indeed your quiet room. I heard that you were in the quiet room before." Wen Xichi said in a deep voice.

"That quiet room is not mine, it belongs to my eldest sister. When I was going up the mountain, she was going down the mountain. Seeing that this quiet room had a good view and the location was well chosen, she specially borrowed this quiet room for use." Shao Wanru thought. After thinking about it, he said.

"Even though it wasn't originally yours, you still borrowed that quiet room for so long." Wen Xichi told the truth. From this aspect, it is most likely that Shao Wanru left the box inside.

"Lord Wen, can I use the people from the Criminal Department you brought with me?" Shao Wanru thought for a while and said, "I heard that everyone in the Criminal Department has a sharp point of view!"

"Yes!" Wen Xichi said simply. He also became interested at this time and wanted to know how Shao Wanru solved this problem.

"Qule, come in!" Shao Wanru said.

Qu Le responded and went in. The next voice was very low, but it could be heard that it was Shao Wanru's instructions to Qu Le. Qu Le responded repeatedly and then came out from inside.

"Master Wen, please go out with Qu Le first, and ask Master Wen to be a witness!" Shao Wanru's gentle voice came from inside. Although it sounded a little weak, it inexplicably made Wen Xichi very interested. He really wants to see how this matter is going to be resolved now.

Just now, he stood aside and witnessed the whole thing. The father-in-law said that the father-in-law was right, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was right. The people from the Xingguo Palace wanted to send the box in, but the maid guarding the door refused to let them send it. One person pushed two people. , unexpectedly did not fall behind, and even pushed the two women outside the courtyard gate.

The two nuns at Yuhui Nunnery also proved time and again that the box was in the quiet room where Miss Shao Wu rested. Most of the fifth Miss Shao had been in Yuhui Nunnery for more than two years, and most of them were in this quiet room. This box was not Miss Wu's but Whose is it? But the maid didn’t recognize it and insisted that the box did not belong to their lady.

It was said that there were some debris piled in the corner of the quiet room. Because the quiet room belonged to the eldest lady, they couldn't look through it. No one knew what was piled there, and of course they didn't know about the box. One thing is for sure, this box definitely does not belong to their lady.

Everyone was wasting it like this, and it was still wasted until now. It was a completely confusing account. Wen Xichi felt that even if he had to do the calculation himself, it would be difficult to argue.

Wen Xichi said goodbye and followed Qu Le out, arriving at the courtyard gate. Shao Wanru's maid was still standing at the door, acting like one man was in charge and no one could stop her.

In front of so many people, the nun from Yuhui Temple could only persuade her in a good voice, but she could not openly help the two women in the Xingguo Palace. The two women were blocked here. After such a long time, I feel angry and want to curse. Fortunately, I still have some sense, so I can only grit my teeth and act reasonable.

The two people from the Criminal Department who followed Wen Xichi in were watching the excitement at the edge of the courtyard with their arms folded. The adults didn't say anything about this kind of thing, so they just took it as a show.

Outside the gate of the outer courtyard, many people gathered around, pointing and pointing. Most of those who had been watching for a long time knew what was going on.

Whatever you say!

Qu Le came out and whispered something into Yu Jie's ear. Yu Jie turned around and looked at Wen Xichi in the corridor suspiciously, and nodded reluctantly after a while.

Qu Le walked over and said to the two people from the Ministry of Justice who were looking at each other excitedly: "You two, Mr. Wen, please do us a favor!"

The two people from the Criminal Department were looking at it happily. They didn't expect that they would also go on the court. They looked up at Wen Xichi in the corridor and saw that he nodded towards them. Knowing that he agreed to their intervention, they could only stand up straight. , put down his half-clasped arms, "Tell me, what do you want us two to do?"

"Did you see that box?" Qu Le said with a smile.

The two people from the Criminal Department nodded. They had also watched the entire audience. How could they not know about the box where the incident occurred.

"Can you tell anything from the appearance of this box? I heard that the personnel of the Criminal Department are very experienced. I wonder if you two... can do it?" Qu Le smiled and said with a hint.
