Delicate Flower Chapter 40: Uncover

Unconsciously, the light in the room dimmed, and Yu Tang realized that the sun had already set to the west.

She stood up, rubbed her sore eyes, went out and called a boy to ask: "Have neither Mr. Yu nor Mr. Yu come back?"

"No!" the boy replied, and Yu Tang saw shopkeeper Tong Er walking in.

He is very similar to Shopkeeper Tong Da, not in facial features but in temperament, both of which make people feel very kind and easy to talk to.

The innkeeper is keeping accounts at the counter.

He asked the owner of the inn: "Is the landlady here? How is Miss Yu's family? I have been thinking about coming to ask, but the business today is too busy and I can't get away."

Men and women are different.

The owner of the inn was too embarrassed to visit Yu Tang and said, "You should be fine, right? I heard from the waiter in the store that Miss Yu went out to buy some things and came back - she can still go shopping, most likely Okay." But he didn't know whether it was okay or not. After saying this, he asked someone to call the boss's wife to come out.

The landlady smiled and said: "Okay, okay! I'm just not in good spirits. However, anyone who doesn't eat this day will lose energy!"

"That's good." Shopkeeper Tong Er breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Our third master already knows that I used his name card to hire a doctor for Miss Yu. If the third master asks about the Yu family, I also know how to answer it!" Then he asked about Yu Wen and Yu Yuan again. Knowing that they had left home early in the morning and had not come back, he said: "Then I won't visit Miss Yu. Now, Mr. Yu and Mr. Yu are back. Tell them for me and I will come to visit them tomorrow."

The boss and his wife said hello and sent shopkeeper Tong Er off.

Yu Tang was too embarrassed to go out to say hello and went back to his room.

When it was time to hold the lantern, Yu Wen came back first.

He looked tired, and his smile was a little forced when the boss greeted him. He said a few polite words to the boss before returning to the room.

When Yu Tang heard the noise, he went to his father's room.

"Sit down!" The tiredness in Yu Wen's eyes seemed to come from the bottom of his heart. He stroked his forehead and said, "If you don't come to me, I will go and see you. How is your stomach today? Does it still hurt? What were you doing alone in the inn while we were away?"

Yu Tang answered one by one, then helped his father pour a cup of hot tea, then sat next to his father and said, "Did something happen to you?"

Yu Wen nodded, holding the teacup but did not drink the tea. Instead, he stared blankly at Yu Tang, his eyes deep and solemn.

Yu Tang’s heart skipped a beat.

According to their previous plan, in order not to attract attention, her father went to check on Lu Xin to see if there was anything fishy about Lu Xin’s death, while Yu Yuan went to find the master named Qian to see if he could Help me uncover another layer of the "Picture of Fishing Hidden in Songxi River". Now that Yu Yuan has not come back, I wonder how the master named Qian will reply to Yu Yuan. There is definitely not good news here for Yu Wen.

She calmly held her breath, waiting for her father to figure out how to tell her about this.

As expected, Yu Wen was silent for a long time, and then said: "A Tang, you are right! The death of your Uncle Lu, I'm afraid it really fulfilled your guess!"

After receiving such information, Yu Tang felt at ease. She asked: "Did Uncle Lu be killed?"

"I don't know if he was killed by someone, but he shouldn't have died like this." Yu Wen told Yu Tang about what he found out in detail, "Before your uncle Lu died, he still owed The rent at the inn and the wine money at the small restaurant at the entrance of the alley, and he had just established a relationship with the newly appointed Censor Tixue. The owner of the inn said that he had received the recommendation from the Censor Tixue and would be there in two days. I’m going to study at the Imperial College in Beijing..."

Yu Tang frowned and said, "Is it Lu Xiucai who is bragging?"

"Whether it's bragging or not, it's true that he plans to go to the capital." Yu Wen said, "He also found several acquaintances to collect money and wanted to pay off the accommodation and wine money. The inn is okay, and the small restaurant The owner of the restaurant heard that he was leaving, and was afraid that he would run away secretly without paying for the drinks, so he sent his son to follow your Uncle Lu. The owner of the small restaurant said that that night, his son saw your Uncle Lu returning to the inn to rest. Afraid that your Uncle Lu would be called out to play in the middle of the night, the son of the owner of the small restaurant waited until the second watch of the drum and then went back when he couldn't hold on any longer.

"Who would have known that early the next morning, I would find that your Uncle Lu had drowned in the Taohua River not far from the inn.

"I also asked the innkeeper, and the innkeeper swore that he didn't notice your Uncle Lu going out."

Yu Tang shuddered.

Yu Wen also looked sad.

Both of them felt that the situation was not good. They neither dared to continue investigating and alert others, nor did they dare to pretend to be confused and wait until disaster struck.

For a while, both father and daughter had no idea.

Yu Wen had no choice but to comfort himself: "Maybe we think too complicatedly, let's wait until Ayuan comes back."

Those who do business like money masters are usually afraid of making faces. Today, Yu Yuan went over and didn't bring the painting with him. Instead, he asked a friend who had a very good personal relationship with Master Qian to act as an intermediary and tried to ask Master Qian to help him.

It remains to be seen whether it will work or not.

Seeing that his father was a little frustrated, Yu Tang had to say: "Dad, you haven't had dinner yet, have you? I asked the landlady to bring some food. There was fried fish in the store today, and I could smell the aroma while sitting in the room. ”

This inn can provide meals or order a la carte.

Yu Wen and the others didn’t know how things would go. Without a meal package, they could only order a la carte.

"Let's wait until A Yuan comes back!" Yu Wen said slowly, Yu Yuan is back.

He was in high spirits and said happily: "Uncle, Master Qian asked us to go there early tomorrow morning. Only after we have seen the painting can he give us an accurate picture."

This is good news.

Yu Wen cheered up, but Yu Yuan still saw the clues.

Yu Wen did not hide anything from him and told Yu Yuan everything that happened.

Yu Yuan looked serious and said: "Then we have to be more careful tomorrow."

Yu Wen sighed and said, "Let's eat! Do your best and obey fate. Let's talk about tomorrow's affairs tomorrow."

Yu Tang hurriedly went to order food.

After dinner, everyone who was originally scheduled to go to Xiaohe Yujie Night Market~IndoMTL.com~ also lost their mood and went back to their rooms early.

Yu Tang continued to do the hairdressing and did not fall asleep until he heard the midnight drum.

When she got up the next day, she heard Yu Wen talking to the shopkeeper. Yu Yuan had already gone out with the painting.

However, he came back quite early this time.

I came back before lunch and left the painting with Master Qian.

With bright eyes, he lowered his voice and said to Yu Wen and Yu Tang: "Master Qian has seen the painting and said that at least three layers of the painting can be peeled off. He asked us how many layers we need to peel off. I thought it would be better to trouble him. Once, he was not polite and asked him to peel off as many layers as he wanted. However, it would cost five taels more than what was said before, and he would not be able to get the painting until tomorrow afternoon."

Yu Wen has been in a low mood since he learned about Lu Xin yesterday. After hearing this, he simply said "OK" and directly gave the money to Yu Yuan.

Yu Yuan took the money and went out again.
