Ning Shu and Huimo immediately got on the horse under the warm sun and rode in the direction of E 'er's house. When they reached the entrance of the alley, their backs were soaked with sweat. They didn't expect to find nothing.
The woman who was washing at the door said, "You are late. If you came earlier yesterday, you might have seen them. Yesterday at noon, the family of three had packed up and went back to their hometown. "
Ning Shu and Huimo looked at each other and asked, "Went back to their hometown? Why did they suddenly leave the capital? "
The woman said with relish, "She can't stay here any longer. Ever since E 'er's accident, everyone in the neighborhood knows about it. Don't mention how unpleasant the words are behind E' er's back. E 'er's mother wants to protect her daughter, so she can only take her back to her hometown. In my opinion, even if they go back, they can't pretend that it didn't happen. A girl's innocence is the most important thing. When she gets married in the future, will her husband not notice it? E 'er's life is ruined. "
After the woman finished chatting, she looked at them with vigilance, "Who are you two? Why do you want to know about her family?"
Ning Shu clapped her hands and sighed. "Sigh, we're from Sanliqiao Jewelry Shop. Her family had ordered a few pieces of jewelry from our shop, saying that they were preparing for their wedding. Originally, we agreed to pay the deposit first, and they would pay the rest when the jewelry was ready. But several days have passed since the agreed day to pick up the jewelry, and we haven't seen them. The boss was very anxious, so he asked us to hurry them. You see, this jewelry was originally ordered for each person. It took a lot of effort to finish it. But her family suddenly doesn't want it. Who do you want us to sell it to? Don't you think it makes sense? "
The woman nodded, "That's right. But E 'er's father and mother are honest people. They didn't do it on purpose. I'm afraid that they were confused by the recent events, so they forgot about it. But even if they remember, the marriage has been canceled, so there is no place to use the jewelry. "
Ning Shu said vividly, "Whether they want it or not, they have to give us a definite answer. We rely on our reputation to do business. If they don't want it, we can just melt the jewelry and make a new style for them. Does Elder Sister know where their hometown is? My shop has a few branches. Maybe I can find her place. "
"This …"
The woman rolled her eyes, obviously hiding something. Ning Shu understood and took out a few copper coins from her bosom: "Good sister, then tell me. I just started working in the shop a few days ago. This is the first task the boss gave me. If I don't do it well, the boss will definitely scold me to death."
The woman hurriedly put the five copper coins into her pocket and said with a smile, "Oh my, sister can't see people suffering. Let me think. I heard about it when I was chatting with Er E 'er's mother. Her hometown is in Chong County. It's less than thirty miles away from the capital."
Ning Shu said sweetly: "Thank you, Elder Sister."
Ning Shu walked out of the alley and took the tied horse away. She touched her forehead and found that it was full of sweat.
Hui Mo said dejectedly: "It's such a hot day. I came here for nothing. It's so hot." He used his hand as a fan and fanned himself a few times, but he didn't feel cold. He saw that there was a shop selling lotus leaves on the side of the road, so he quickly ran to buy two. He gave one to Ning Shu and put the other on his head. Then he felt better.
He said: "But, does this mean that we are wrong? Her family left the capital at noon yesterday. The envoy died at night. They didn't have time to commit the crime. Maybe this is just a coincidence. It has nothing to do with her family. "
