C44 (2/2)

Yun Qianliang shook her head, ”No.”

Come on, that's a subtle word.

After Gu San left, Yun Qianliang slowly strolled into the Qing Hu Tong to wait.

The interior was cool like water, making people feel as if the interior of the Qing Hu Tong was cold and secluded. The sunlight that shone in from outside brought with it a sense of warmth, and the room was so cold and overbearing that it seemed to want to disperse the warmth, in order to prevent anyone from feeling deep and quiet.

Wen Meng walked over with a zither in her arms. After buying the zither, her footsteps paused for a moment, and then she walked in warily.

When Yun Qianliang looked over, the happiness was still on her face, and there was only hostility in her eyes.

Gu Yicheng would occasionally go to Hibiscus Courtyard to listen to music when he was in a good mood. He was a little lacking the mood to choose a courtyard or other places with a wide field of vision, so he had never invited the Singer Dancer s of his manor to the Green Pine Academy.

Today, he had sent his close servant, Gu San, to invite him in, and it was also the Green Pine Academy who entered. Wen Meng could not help but misunderstand.

”Greetings Madam.” Wen Meng hugged her zither and bowed.

Yun Qianliang quietly stared at her, his eyes that were like frost staring at the beautiful and delicate face, capturing the expression that flashed past.

Not long later, Wen Meng was already tired, her calves trembled, her heart was filled with grievances, but she stubbornly refused to make a sound.

”Rise.” Yun Qianliang opened her mouth and shifted her gaze away from Wen Meng, ”Gu San, ask Chun Hua to brew a pot of tea here.”

Wen Meng stood up, held onto the guqin tightly and stood in the center of the hall.

Yun Qianliang raised her chin and pointed to the right, ”Sit.”

”Wen Meng would not dare.” Wen Meng's warm and delicate cowardice was completely different from what it used to be.

Yun Qianliang sneered in her heart, her expression did not change at all.

”Xiao Cui is dead.”

Following that, the good guqin in Wen Meng's arms landed on the ground. A muffled sound came out from the corner of the guqin as the guqin vibrated with a few ear-piercing notes, causing Wen Meng to freeze on the spot as if she was struck by lightning.

”How could that be?” Wen Meng's body softened and fell to the ground.

Just then, footsteps came from within the Qing Hu Tong, Yun Qianliang heard the light footsteps coming from inside the house, but the person inside did not come out, he only stood at a place where he could hear the two clearly, and did not move after stopping.

Yun Qianliang sighed, the outcome of this matter was probably already decided.

After a long while, Wen Meng finally snapped back to reality. She tearfully kneeled on the ground and pleaded, ”Madam, please be the judge for Xiao Cui and ensure that her murderer is found. I can't let her die so randomly.”

Yun Qianliang smirked, ”I only said that Xiao Cui died. How do you know that Xiao Cui didn't commit suicide but was killed by someone?”

Wen Meng shivered and quickly shook her head, ”Xiao Cui is cheerful and lively, she will definitely not commit suicide.”

”The meaning behind your words is that she has a clear conscience regarding the matter of poisoning me?” Yun Qianliang asked.

No matter if it was because he felt guilty about the matter of her death or because he had nowhere else to go, Xiao Cui had the chance to commit suicide.

”This matter …” Wen Meng was speechless.

”You're right, Xiao Cui died by his hands.” Yun Qianliang gave people a breather to catch their breath, it was only a breather, ”But this news hasn't spread yet, you in Gu Xiangfu only heard one sentence and you already know that Xiao Cui died a violent death. Seems like Jing Zhao Fu Yin has come to ask for your help to solve this case.”

”I'm only guessing based on my understanding of Xiao Cui over the years.” Wen Meng blinked his eyes quickly and beads of perspiration trickled down his forehead.

Although she had bought a murder victim and her hands were not stained with blood, this was the first time she had done such a malicious thing. It was hard to avoid a guilty conscience.

Yun Qianliang stood up and walked in front of Wen Meng, then bent down to help him up, ”Don't worry, even if Xiao Cui is no longer Gu Xiangfu's servant, taking into consideration the past, I will still get the culprit to bring him to justice.”

Wen Meng heard the clear words, and her entire body shivered, she felt as if her hands were shackled, locking her tightly, causing Wen Meng to stand up and quickly withdraw her hand, and Blessed Body thanked him.

”Did you hear about yesterday's matter?” Yun Qianliang unconcernedly retracted his hand.

”Madam, what might you be talking about?” Wen Meng was smart this time.

”I gave Xiao Cui 10 taels of silver for her to take care of. After she died, the silver was no longer in her sight.” Yun Qianliang could clearly see that Wen Meng had trembled all of a sudden, and her smile became even sweeter and friendlier, and she kindly provided information related to the case. ”Since that silver ingot is my private money, I like to mark it to prevent others from stealing it. I have already reported to the Jing Zhao Mansion to check the silver ingot. I believe that they will soon find the person who took the ingot to buy something. ”

”I hope so.” Wen Meng replied fearfully.

”Go back.” Yun Qianliang benevolently let them go.

Wen Meng turned and picked up the guqin, who fell to the ground, and slowly walked out.

Yun Qianliang stared at her stiff back, and said with a raised voice. ”Wen Meng, you must be careful.”

A bold and careful person would definitely not be willing to be a petty person who buried himself in the dust and live on.
