My Entire Family's Gone Haywire!

2332 The door is locked

“Where did wifey come from? Where to? When do you want to enter the shop?” Gu Xin started asking in the corridor.

Dong Xue brought a cup of hot tea over and let the woman drink it to ease her mood.

“Replying to Princess, this commoner’s husband’s family is surnamed Fang, and my paternal family is surnamed Liu. Princess can call this commoner Fang Liushi. The woman’s family was in the prefecture city of tai state and her husband’s family was in the capital. The day before yesterday, the woman had taken a carriage from the capital to visit her parents in tai Zhou and returned to the capital this morning. Tonight, when she arrived at Qi ‘an town, it was already night. The woman was worried that it was not safe, so she got off the carriage and checked into the inn, planning to return to the capital the next morning. In the past, when a commoner’s wife returned to her mother’s home, she would also have such a schedule.” After Fang Liushi drank a cup of hot tea, she was indeed much calmer, and her answers were clear and organized.

“Did you find a broken arm in the room after you entered the shop?” Gu Xin asked.

Fang Liushi’s face paled when she heard that she had lost an arm, and her hands trembled a little.

“Don’t be afraid, there are so many people here, nothing will happen. You can take a break first.” Gu Xin gently patted Fang Liushi’s shoulder and said softly.

“Thank you, Princess. I’m fine, I’m fine.” Fang Liushi looked at Gu Xin’s calm eyes. For some reason, the fear in her heart seemed to have been sucked away and disappeared without a trace.

“That’s good.” Gu Xin laughed.

“Because this commoner will return to my Maiden Home once a month, and every time I return to the capital from my Maiden Home, I will stay at Qi ‘an Inn. I am also familiar with Lady Du and the shop’s waiter, so after this commoner booked a room, this commoner didn’t need the waiter to guide me. This commoner took the key and went upstairs to open the door.” At this point, Fang Liushi paused.

“After opening the door, this commoner’s wife took a lighter and lit a lamp. She planned to put away her luggage and sit down, then wait for the waiter to bring hot water and food. After eating, they would wash up and go to sleep. Who knew, who knew that the moment the woman lit the oil lamp, she would discover the thing beside the oil lamp. At first, the woman did not see it clearly, but upon closer inspection, Fang Liushi swallowed her saliva, her eyes widening as if the broken arm was right in front of her.

Gu Xin gently patted her back, silently encouraging her.

“Then I was so scared that I lost all my strength. But I was so scared that I could only scream and crawl out.” Fang Liushi finished her last sentence.

“Yes, I know. Don’t be afraid, it’s all packed. The things are gone. I’ll ask Mr. Du to find you a room that’s the furthest away from this room. If you’re still afraid, I’ll get my maidservant to accompany you to sleep. Don’t worry.” Gu Xin comforted her softly.

“Thank you, Princess.” Fang Liushi looked at Gu Xin gratefully.

“It’s fine, it’s fine,” Gu Xin smiled at her and asked softly, ” you just said that the door was locked when you came in, right? ”

Fang Liushi nodded.

“Then, did you notice the window in the room? Are the windows open or closed?” Gu Xin asked again.

Fang Liushi was taken aback, and then shook her head.

“I didn’t pay attention and didn’t look at the window.” Fang Liushi answered, somewhat anxious and somewhat vexed.

“It’s fine, it’s fine, don’t panic, I was just asking. Actually, it doesn’t really matter.” Gu Xin said hurriedly.

“After you came out, did anyone enter or leave this room?” Gu Xin asked again.

“No, I didn’t,” Fang Liushi shook her head. after I came out, a second brother came over. It’s Xiao Jin. He came over to ask me what’s wrong? Then, I couldn’t say anything and he went in.”
