Si Qiongzhi stood under the tree and held up an umbrella.

The passing women all had wheat-colored skin. They glanced at Si Qiongzhi curiously, as if they did not understand Si Qiongzhi's behavior. Si Qiongzhi put away the umbrella in embarrassment.

She is more afraid of the sun.

She is not like her sister-in-law. Her sister-in-law will peel off the skin after sun exposure, and then turn red, and it will take a long time to recover, and it will not be tanned.

She is afraid of the dark.

Even after being in Nanyang for so long, Si Qiongzhi still couldn't understand Nanyang women's standards for skin beauty.

They advocate health, and the sunshine all year round makes them look very energetic. Young, beautiful and dynamic is their new fashion.

They love sports, swimming, playing ball, horseback riding, which they love.

"Qiongzhi?" When she was thinking about something, Gu Qingzhou's car stopped in front of her. After getting in the car, Gu Qingzhou also asked her, "Why don't you hold an umbrella?"

Si Qiongzhi: ""

This is really hard to explain.

She changed the subject and asked about today's events, if the morning passed, and if there was any other news.

Gu Qingzhou told Si Qiongzhi what the White Guards said.

Si Qiongzhi was stunned: "I want you to be an official? Or is this a petty official who doesn't enter the bureaucracy?"

"He has his own plans." Gu Qingzhou said with a smile, "With the frequent wars in the past two years, many people have gone out, and there are more and more wealthy Chinese businessmen in Singapore.

These rich people can provide more industries for Singapore, and the colonial governor's palace is welcome, but it will be more troublesome to manage.

What Chief Bai means is that our family has a high reputation in the country, and your eldest brother's future is uncertain. Take me to the town house first, at least temporarily handle the affairs of the Pei family properly. "

Si Qiongzhi was a little worried: "Did I cause trouble?"

"No." Gu Qingzhou said, "Chief Bai also said that you and Hu Qiao'er separated and went home separately. There is proof." Si Qiongzhi breathed a sigh of relief. She doesn't ask anything anymore.

The car arrived at Pei's house, and as soon as they entered the door, they heard the sound of crying. is a young man. "

I didn't go to Malacca, and she became like this when I came back, what should I do? ' the man cried.

This is Hu Qiaoer's husband Pei Jie.

Hu Qiaoer and Pei Jie are a young couple, both of them are only twenty-five or six years old. They have been married for four years and have no children yet, and their relationship is very stable. When the husband went out and his wife was stabbed to death when he came back, how could he not be heartbroken? Some people persuaded him to mourn, and some people said that he was thinking of his grandmother, so as not to make the old man feel sad.

Gu Qingzhou and Si Qiongzhi were brought in by servants, and there were already other relatives and friends in the central hall, all of whom came to visit after receiving news.

"Don't cry, I will give your daughter-in-law justice." The old lady said.

Someone next to him helped him up.

One after another, there are always guests coming in.

Gu Qingzhou and Si Qiongzhi sat in the first place, comforted a few words, and then told the old lady to ask her to mourn. The third master of the Pei family said: "Mrs. Si, we handed over this matter to the Department of Guards. I listened to what Chief Bai said. They wanted to ask you to be the deputy Guard, just to give our family an explanation as soon as possible, right? ?" Everyone looked over.

Gu Qingzhou said: "Sir Bai asked me this morning, and indeed said so, but I haven't agreed. I have never held an important position, and I'm afraid I can't do it well." The third master of the Pei family said, "We talked to the guards at the Department of Guards. The relationship is not deep, but in fact, I don't trust them very much. You are close friends with our family, and please ask Mrs. Si for help, give an explanation as soon as possible to appease the dead. "

The old lady of the Pei family said, "Don't force Mrs. Si, Qiao'er's grievances can always be made clear." The others looked at Gu Qingzhou.

Gu Qingzhou glanced at the third master. Hu

Qiao'er is the young grandmother of the second room, and has nothing to do with the third room, and I heard that the Pei family is also arguing about the separation, and everyone is not on the same page.

The third master pointed out this matter in public, as if Gu Qingzhou deliberately did not help them. why?

Gu Qingzhou always felt that there was a hand stirring among them. She thought of all the possibilities, but she could only think of something related to Si Xingpei's politics, and she didn't know anything else.

"Old lady, I'm afraid that I can't do the job. If the Pei family trusts me, and Chief Bai also trusts me, I will consider it." Gu Qingzhou expressed her attitude.

The old lady of the Pei family only thought she came to the door on purpose to ask about the matter: Does the Pei family mind if she intervenes?

So, the experienced old lady took her attitude: "The Pei family trusts Mrs. Si, and I ask you to deal with this matter."

There is a misunderstanding.

The old lady thought she wanted to be an official, for fear that their family thought she was taking advantage of the Pei family's misfortune, so they came to report it first; while others seemed to be the Pei family and the chief Bai who both asked her to find someone for Hu Qiao'er's death statement. The third master inserted this foot in the middle, and it really had an excellent effect.

Gu Qingzhou looked at him again.

He didn't look at Gu Qingzhou, he just sat silently. Pei

The children at home are all there, and the room is full of people. Gu

When Qingzhou and Si Qiongzhi got up to leave, the eldest wife of the Pei family suddenly pushed her son Pei Cheng down: "Acheng, send Mrs. Si and Miss Si off."

Pei Cheng stood up expressionlessly: "Yes."

He is very restrained, the embarrassment in the morning can no longer be seen, but his attitude is cold. He sent Gu Qingzhou and Si Qiongzhi to the gate, and chatted with Gu Qingzhou along the way: "When are you going to investigate at the Guard Office?"

"I don't know yet."

"Then I hope it will be sooner." Pei Cheng said, "Mrs. Si, if you plan this matter, I can talk to you. I saw the second sibling that day, and I don't know if some details are useful or not."

Si Qiongzhi glanced at him. Pei

Cheng immediately felt her gaze and said, "Miss Si, don't worry, I didn't mean you." Si Qiongzhi withdrew his gaze.

"However, Miss Si seems to be very guilty." Pei Cheng added, "I know that Miss Si will not kill, because the four stabs in the stab are very deep. It takes a lot of strength to stab in and then pull it out. It's not you. Such a skinny girl can do it.

The second sibling showed no signs of struggle, indicating that the murderer was steadfast and precise when piercing, and with great strength, with a bone-eroding hatred, it should be a man. Miss Si has no personal enmity with her. As long as she is not blind, she will not doubt you, so there is no need to be so uneasy. "Si Qiongzhi:"

This should be a word of comfort, but it came out of his mouth with a bit of sarcasm, and it was not very comfortable to listen to.

Si Qiongzhi didn't know how to answer for a while.

She remembered that this morning, Pei Cheng asked her to go to the office and closed the door. Originally, he wanted to ask her something, but it became a big embarrassment. She got up and said goodbye, without having time to ask anything.

She was so choked by Pei Cheng's words that she didn't know how to speak, and after a while, she buzzed, "Thank you." After leaving Pei's house and getting into the car, Gu Qingzhou asked Si Qiongzhi, "Is he Pei Cheng?"

it's him. ""

It's that "Gu Qingzhou thought about his words.

Si Qiongzhi said, "Well, that's it. Sister-in-law, don't mention it any more."
