My Entire Family's Gone Haywire!



He didn't notice anything special about the grass. After all, someone must have helped him get the body up to the well.

However, there seemed to be something different at the edge of the well. It was as if something had knocked into it.

Gu Xin reached out her hand to feel around before squatting down and searching the grass carefully. Other than a few pebbles, there was nothing else on the ground.

She stood up and looked around the courtyard wall. The walls on the left and right were not as old as the wall at the gate. It seemed that the wall on these two sides had been built a long time after the wall at the gate was built. The walls were covered with vines that had already sprouted.

"This is miss Xie!" Suddenly, a trembling female voice from the central room brought Gu Xin back to her senses.

It seemed that someone had recognized the deceased.

Gu Xin came to the central room again.

The one who spoke was an 18-year-old woman. From the way she dressed, she should be a young wife.

"Third miss, this is the daughter-in-law of the house across the street, Madam Zhu." Zhang Bing whispered to Gu Xin as he stood beside her.

Gu Xin nodded her head.

"Zhu niangzi, did you see clearly? Is this person really the Miss Xie You mentioned?" Constable Gao asked.

"Big brother Constable, this humble woman has seen clearly. This humble woman has seen miss Xie several times." Madam Zhu looked at it carefully a few more times, then pointed to the jade pendant on the deceased's waist. the veins on that jade pendant were beaten by a commoner. A commoner's wife would usually do embroidery work and bring the silk to the Xie family's embroidery workshop to sell. They sold the silk once in the first month of the year, one of each style. At that time, miss Xie was in the shop and liked it, so she took it away. Later, this commoner saw young lady Xie wearing this on the street."

Gu Xin then realized that the victim was wearing men's clothing. It seemed like she was also a fan of cross-dressing, but she did not notice this when she was watching Zheng Qiu's autopsy.

"Are you a girl from the Xie embroidery workshop in the south of the city?" Constable Gao asked with a frown.

"Yes, you're right. This commoner's wife and younger aunt would often go to their house to buy thread, and the embroidered things would also be sold to his house. This common woman has seen young lady Xie a few times." Madam Zhu said.

Constable Gao frowned even more.

This young lady from the Xie family had gone missing. On the second day of the second month, she had been reprimanded by old master Xie at home. She was unhappy and went out shopping. After that, she had not returned home.

Old master Xie had already reported to the authorities early in the morning on the third day of the Lunar New Year. This old master Xie was the brother-in-law of the Prefectural magistrate.

"Zhu niangzi, then do you know which family in this XI MA alley this miss Xie is acquainted with?" Seeing that Constable Gao didn't say anything, Gu Xin asked.

Zhu niangzi looked at Gu Xin in fear.

this is Princess Xinxin. The Emperor has specially issued an imperial edict for Princess Xinxin to assist in the investigation at the Yamen. Constable Gao came back to his senses and introduced them to Lady Zhu.

ah, ah, ah! Lady Zhu's eyes lit up. Princess Xinxin, she's alive! She's not even afraid of the dead person lying next to her now.

"Yes, please answer the question I just asked." Gu Xin said in a friendly manner.

"Oh, okay, Princess. This commoner didn't know whether miss Xie or the people of the fine MA alley knew her. Moreover, miss Xie is a pampered girl who is doted on by master Xie and Madam Xie. She probably doesn't know where xima alley is, so she shouldn't be able to recognize the people here. She might have an impression of my sister-in-law and I because she likes our sister-in-law's embroidery." Zhu niangzi said everything she knew.

Gu Xin nodded her head and looked at Constable Gao. He understood what she meant and asked the bailiff to call the others in. The next one was Zhu niangzi's sister-in-law, ye cuiru.
