Chapter 2075 Knowing Someone but Not Knowing Them

"Were you doing embroidery all the time on the afternoon of the seventh day of the first lunar month? Didn't you hear anything?" Gu Xin asked.

"Not all the time. I need to move around after doing embroidery for a long time, otherwise my body and eyes will be damaged. When I rest, I just walk around in the yard. I really didn't hear anything." Mrs. Song said.

"Princess, please have some tea." At this time, Song Yi made tea and brought a cup of hot water to Mrs. Song.

After both of them drank, Song Yi said: "Princess, I heard you ask about the seventh day of the first lunar month. I know that the seventh day of the first lunar month is the time when the girl from the Xie family died. But I have a question. Did the girl from the Xie family die at the bottom of the well? Or did she die outside and was thrown to the bottom of the well by someone? If she died directly at the bottom of the well, there might be movement next to the seventh day of the first lunar month. If she died outside and was thrown to the bottom of the well by someone, no one can say for sure when she was thrown to the bottom of the well. We can't just focus on the seventh day of the first lunar month."

"Mr. Song, do you know Miss Xie?" Gu Xin asked suddenly.

"Hmm? I don't know her." Song Yi was stunned, then said.

"Then how do you know it's Miss Xie? Just now, no one told you that the deceased's surname was Xie, right?" Gu Xin looked at Song Yi's face and asked.

Mrs. Song also glanced at Song Yi.

"Oh, Princess, I don't know Miss Xie, but I know Mr. Xie." Song Yi scratched his head and said honestly, "Mr. Xie was once a classmate of mine, and Mr. Xie was often invited to the academy. Mr. Xie went to the Imperial Academy last year, and I haven't seen Mr. Xie much."

"Oh, so that's it! I thought you knew Miss Xie and deliberately said you didn't know her!" Gu Xin smiled.

"To be honest with you, my son is a taciturn person. He is very shy. He can't even tell the difference between girls from the same alley, let alone meeting girls from outside. When the Zhu family and the Xie family were talking about marriage, he saw Zhu, who was still a girl, and ran back to tell me that Xiaoru had changed! Isn't this a complete mistake? Cough cough cough cough..." Mrs. Song was going to laugh after she finished speaking, but she coughed again and hurriedly took the cup to drink water.

"Oh, so that's it! Mrs. Song, Mr. Song, from the seventh day of the first lunar month to yesterday when the Liang family decided to rent the yard next door, was there any movement next door?" Gu Xin asked again.

The mother and son looked at each other and shook their heads.

Seeing this, Gu Xin stopped asking and only asked them to tell the people in the government office if they remembered anything.

After giving instructions, she stood up and prepared to leave. Suddenly, she saw the flowers on the table and asked with a smile, "Mrs. Song is not in good health. These flowers seem to have been picked only three or four days ago. They must have been picked by Mr. Song! There seems to be no such wild flowers in the capital."

Song Yi said, "I don't know if there are any in the capital, but there are some in our academy. I saw that they looked good a few days ago. I remember that my mother liked them, so I picked them back."

Gu Xin nodded, glanced at the embroidery basket by the bed without leaving a trace, and then said goodbye and left.

Song Yi sent Gu Xin out. Mrs. Song looked at the flowers on the table, and then at the embroidery basket at the head of the bed. Her face changed slightly.

She started coughing again.

After hearing this in the yard, Gu Xin asked Song Yi not to send her off. It was only a few steps away anyway: "Mr. Song, remember to get the medicine tomorrow morning, and then boil it for Mrs. Song to drink, and bring the doctor by the way. After drinking the medicine, remember to ask the doctor to see Mrs. Song. Mrs. Song's illness is not an ordinary minor illness. It is necessary to add or subtract medicinal materials from time to time. Don't be careless."
