Chapter 46: The corpse in the bee house

Seeing that Sister Feng didn't want to say anything, Uncle Rong didn't ask any more questions. He rubbed his fingers that were stiff and red from holding the pen for the portrait.

Sister Feng saw this scene and handed over the copper hand warmer she carried. "Warm your hands. Please massage your shoulders. My neck has always been uncomfortable these days."

Uncle Rong knows that these are normal phenomena after pregnancy. Not only is the neck prone to fatigue, but the spirit may also be slightly sluggish, and even the whole body may feel weak.

Jia Rong smiled and said: "Good aunt, you are pregnant now, and it is difficult to press on your shoulders. You have to be careful even with your hands and feet. Don't ask Miss Ping to knock randomly when you are in the courtyard."

"How can you let them touch you on weekdays? Do you think your aunt is a non-significant person?" Sister Feng rolled her eyes at Jia Rong, "If you don't want to, just forget it and find many excuses."

Brother Rong put down the copper stove and sat down next to Sister Feng. He said sarcastically: "Rong'er, please rub your calves gently for Auntie. Auntie's feet are usually much more tired during this period and are prone to sore feet.

"

Wang Xifeng did feel a little weak in her legs these days, and she felt sore after being unable to walk even a few steps. She asked doubtfully: "This is what you learned in Lihentian? Is it possible that there are pregnant women in the sky?"

"I heard God mentioned a few taboos in this area!" Fortunately, the carriage drove very slowly to take care of the pregnant Sister Feng, so Uncle Rong squatted in the car without feeling the shaking. Brother Rong picked up Sister Feng's left foot and placed it on her.

On his own leg, rub it gently.

Although she was separated by her robe and trousers, Sister Feng felt her calf being held by Brother Rong, and her face flushed. Apart from Jia Lian, Ronger was the second person to hold her leg. This was different from Ronger's usual

The gentle tapping was very different. The slight force felt on the calf muscles made my face feel hot.

"Good aunt, are you comfortable?"

When Uncle Rong saw Wang Xifeng closing his eyes, he just nodded slightly and moved his hands a little more lightly. He was always on guard against the shaking of the carriage and was ready to support Sister Feng.

After a while, Brother Rong put down Wang Xifeng's left foot, went around to her right side and started rubbing it. He said, "Auntie, Rong'er, please rub your right leg again."

Jia Rong noticed that Sister Cheng Feng didn't make a sound or nod her head, as if she had fallen asleep leaning against the carriage.

She must be tired. She is pregnant and is always busy in the West Mansion. Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang don't care about the affairs of the inner house. They set rules every day and rely on Sister Feng to take care of everything.

well……

Uncle Rong gently put Sister Feng's right leg down and sat down with Sister Feng. Wang Xifeng seemed to feel Jia Rong beside her, and leaned her head slightly on Brother Rong's shoulder. Her white jade hand also came over and said softly:

"Rong'er, please rub your palms for me."

There are hundreds of people in a Rongguo Mansion, and there are many affairs in each house and courtyard, and they have to deal with everyone's little thoughts. It is indeed not easy for Sister Feng, who is only twenty years old, to worry about so many things.

Brother Rong carefully held this hand, but did not make any other movements. He only held it in his palm and hugged it.

Jia Rong was surprised to find that Wang Xifeng didn't say anything. He didn't even withdraw his hand, as if he had acquiesced in Brother Rong's move.

Minute by minute passes...

Time seemed to be slowed down, very slowly. Brother Rong felt that the little hand he was holding was getting hotter and hotter, and he squeezed it accidentally.

Very soft and warm.

Seeing that Sister Feng didn't resist, Brother Rong boldly intertwined the fingers of this hand and placed it on his thigh. He put his other hand against the back of her hand and covered their hands with a fur cloak.

Until the carriage stopped, Miss Ping outside shouted: "Grandma, Uncle Xiao Rong, it's time to enter the house."

At this time, Brother Rong saw Sister Feng on her shoulder suddenly opening her eyes, coughing, and pulling her hand back from Brother Rong's arms. She suddenly said: "We're here."

Brother Rong helped Sister Feng out of the car with some regret, and when he saw Sister Feng changed into a sedan chair and was carried into the Rongguo Mansion, he withdrew his gaze and continued to board the carriage to return to the East Mansion.

The next day, the heavy snow in Shenjing finally stopped. Brother Rong called Lai Sheng and asked him to arrange for people to clean up the burned-out Doufengxuan.

Later in the afternoon, Brother Rong was having dinner with Ke Qing at Youshi's place. Lai Sheng's family came over and said, "We found a secret room in Doofengxuan. Manager Lai is guarding the scene. Please come and take charge of it."

"It's just a secret room, why are your men making such a fuss?" You asked.

Laisheng's wife walked up and whispered in Youshi's ear: "The fire in the building should have started from the secret room. There were two corpses burned beyond recognition. The manager had already kept everyone who entered the secret room. On the spot, everyone else moved away."

Hearing this, everyone knew that the fire in Doufengxuan was strange. At first, everyone just thought it was because the weather was dry and the water accidentally escaped. Now that a body is found in the building, the nature of the matter is different.

Brother Rong frowned and talked to Keqing, Youshi said: "I'll go take a look first, and my wife will check first to see if anyone has been missing from the house recently."

…………

"how so?"

A group of young men were guarding outside the ruins of Dou Fengxuan. Uncle Rong followed Lai Sheng down to the secret room. It is better to say it is a secret room than a basement. The basement is very spacious. From the traces of burning, it can be seen that many things were stored here before. Few books.

Now the desk and bookshelf in the secret room were all burned down, and the two corpses were lying next to the desk. Fortunately, it was freezing cold, so the corpses did not emit a foul smell, but they still looked hideous and terrifying.

"Does the manager know about this place?" Uncle Rong asked with a dark face.

Lai Sheng shook his head repeatedly and said: "Doufengxuan is a place where the master uses to entertain distinguished guests. Only the master has the key here. No outsider can enter without the master's permission."

Jia Rong still felt something was wrong. She was teasing Jia Zhen when Fengxuan poured boiling water on her. Jia Zhen was sent to another yard. So the key here should be kept by the wife. How could others get in without the key?

Brother Rong and Lai Sheng looked at the secret room again. Everything inside was burned down and nothing of value was left. On the contrary, the appearance of the corpses was very strange. The corpses were a man and a woman. The woman was curled up as if she was struggling fiercely in the fire. Passed by, and although the man's body was also shrunken, it seemed as if it had been deformed by the high temperature.

"Find someone to carry it out and bury it." Brother Rong is neither a detective nor a policeman, and he doesn't have such powerful investigative abilities. He doesn't want to make the matter a fuss either. It is in his own interest to keep a low profile.

"What about here?"

Jia Rong said: "It was said to the outside world that the servant and the maid were having an affair in Doufengxuan. They accidentally pushed the candle, which not only harmed themselves but also burned down Doufengxuan."

Lai Sheng grinned and nodded, but he couldn't figure out why the fire in the secret room could burn down the entire Doufengxuan. The walls of this secret room were obviously made of stone slabs, so how could the fire reach the outside.

In the afternoon, the mansion finally found out which two people were missing. One was the concubine Jia Zhen bought last and was locked up in a remote courtyard of the mansion, and the other was the long follower who had just entered the mansion a few months ago.

After hearing the identities of the two people, Brother Rong felt more and more that the matter was not simple. Logically speaking, it was impossible for a long follower to come into contact with the imprisoned concubine Ji, so how could they come together? What made him even more annoyed was that the people in the yard were being
