"Ever had a baby?!"
Huo Huaixin looked in amazement at the humanoid skeleton laid out by Qin Wan on the ground. He had no medical skills and no knowledge of autopsy, let alone how to tell from the traces of the bones whether a person had given birth, but he believed what Qin Wan said. However, he really couldn't believe that Second Aunt actually gave birth to a child.
Qin Wan also frowned tightly, "When a woman is pregnant, the pubic bone will start to open at eight or nine months, and when it is time to give birth, the joint of the pubic bone will be completely opened, and the inherent tough tendons at the joint will open up. It will be strained or embedded in the bone. After giving birth, the tendons will disappear. After disappearing, an irreversible indentation will be left on the back of the pubic bone. This indentation can represent whether a woman is healthy or not. Had a baby."
As Qin Wan said, she directly picked up the pelvis, she wiped off the mud on it little by little, and looked more carefully, after seeing it this way, Qin Wan frowned slightly, "Perhaps, she has not only given birth to one child. "
Huo Huaixin immediately widened his eyes, "Have more than one child?!"
Qin Wan shook her head, "I'm not sure, it's just that the scars left on her pubic bone are a little bit more than normal people's. Maybe it's because of her physical constitution, I don't know."
Yan Chi narrowed his eyes, "But you said just now that the people in the Qin family didn't even know she was pregnant, so how could she have given birth to a child?"
Qin Wan put down the pelvis in his hand, "It seems that she can't be buried early." Qin Wan looked at Huo Huaixin, "Master Zhifu, send someone to clean the bones, I want to take a good look, maybe there are other things clue."
After a pause, Qin Wan said again, "There should be no missing bones, let the people below come up."
Qin Wan has already figured out the general idea, because the second aunt died by throwing herself into a well, her bones were not broken, so her bones are complete, and there is still a small pile of broken bones on the felt blanket beside her , almost no shortage.
Huo Huaixin nodded quickly, "Okay, I'll let someone wash it out." After finishing speaking, he walked to the side and shouted down the well, "Come on, it's all done!"
There were a few muffled responses from below, and the people above pulled the servants below up.
Huo Huaixin directed a few more people, "Move these bones to the yard over there, clean them, and then find a neat place to store them. Be careful not to break them!"
Even the servants of the yamen did not see the bones of dead people every day. As soon as Huo Huaixin gave the order, several yamen servants bravely stepped forward, wrapped all the bones in felt blankets, and moved away without daring to lose any of them. .
Qin Wan stood up, her hands were covered with mud, Fu Ling hurriedly came up to wipe her.
Yan Chi's eyes darkened slightly, and he turned his eyes to look at the purple bamboo forest again, "The bones have been dug up, let's go see if there are any other clues in this forest."
Huo Huaixin responded, and personally led the people to look around.
After all, it was much cheaper during the day than at night, and soon, the entire forest was searched and cleared.
"Your Highness, there is nothing obvious. This place is piled up with dead branches and leaves, and even if there are any traces, the wind will cover them up." Huo Huaixin wiped the thin sweat from his forehead, his tone a little depressed.
Yan Chi shook his head, "No problem, let's go and have a look first."
Having said that, they all headed towards the west courtyard, Yan Chi said again, "Second Aunt didn't give birth to a child in the Qin Mansion, so it's possible that she gave birth to a child elsewhere before entering the mansion, it seems that you have to ask carefully about this The origin of the second aunt."
Huo Huaixin said, "Who are you asking? Ask the old lady?"
Yan Chi narrowed his eyes, "Ask Madam Qin, go and invite Madam Qin here."
Qin Wan, who was walking behind, took a look at Yan Chi. Compared with the old and deep Jiang, Lin was more likely to speak up. Thinking of this, Qin Wan couldn't help thinking that although Yan Chi had been in the field for a long time and was not familiar with criminal laws, But he has a pair of very clear and sharp eyes. Just like this, he can see many things that others cannot see.
In the Buddhist hall, Cai He walked in quickly with a servant.
"Old lady, He Xing is here."
He Xing used to be Liu Chun's servant, and after running around with Liu Chun, he was equivalent to a small steward in the mansion. Now that Liu Chun had an accident, He Xing's position was raised, and now he seems to be the chief steward of the outer courtyard of the mansion.
"Let him come in and talk."
Jiang sat cross-legged on the couch with a serious face, still holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand.
A figure under the curtain flashed in, and He Xing rang his head three times when he entered the door, "He Xing pays respects to the old lady, pays respects to the madam."
Jiang's eyes were wide open, "Tell me, what did you see?"
He Xing straightened up, but he didn't dare to look at Mrs. Jiang. He only said in a low voice, "The villain sent someone to watch outside. It turned out that His Royal Highness asked Nine Girls to follow him, except to ask about the affairs of Nine Girls' house. , and because Nine Girls know medical skills, just now, the bones of Second Concubine Niang were dug up by the servants of the government office. Originally, it was dug up to see if the bones were complete and then buried, but now I feel that this is a bit strange, so I asked someone to clean the bones, as if I planned to let Jiu Niu take a closer look."
After a pause, He Xing glanced at Mrs. Lin, "In addition, His Royal Highness asked his wife to go to the west, probably to ask about this matter, and the villain has seen this now."
Jiang frowned slightly, and nodded after a while, "Got it."
He Xing glanced up and said, "Back off."
He Xing hurriedly kowtowed again, then got up and backed out.
As soon as He Xing went out, Mrs. Lin looked at Mrs. Jiang and said, "Mother, what should I do? That girl Guan'er saw it..."
In Lin's words, there was both Qin Wan's amazing medical skills and a bit of annoyance, but more of them were bewildered, and Jiang's face was still calm, "Why panic? Please go over, I just want to know that the second aunt is the aunt of the Qin family. No one else knows that she gave birth, so when did she give birth? Just say you know, and if you don’t know, just say you don’t know , An'er was confused back then, and for a while hired a person with an innocence, what can you do?"
As soon as Lin heard this, she knew what Jiang meant, so she was sure, "Okay, my wife understands."
Mrs. Jiang nodded, "Okay, you go, and by the way, ask the magistrate if you want to continue to investigate the well in Zizhulin. If you don't, we will seal it up."
Lin responded, and blessed Fu Fang again before leaving.
Jiang Shi sighed, and slowly closed her eyes, Xiang Caihe poured a cup of tea for Jiang Shi, and comforted her in a low voice, "Don't worry, Madam, Madam will take care of herself."
Jiang Shi opened her eyes and took the teacup in her hand, but she shook her head when she heard the words, "She is not so considerate, sometimes she is not as considerate as you. Fortunately, Chen'er is not bad, she is young, but she can hold her breath."
Cai He hurriedly shook her head, "Madam is the master, slaves are slaves, I dare not compare them, the young master is indeed good, the Qin family has a young master, and the future will surely bring good fortune and prosperity to the family."
Mrs. Jiang put down the teacup, a gleam of satisfaction appeared in her eyes, "Yes, there is Chen'er in the Qin family, I, an old woman, don't worry."
…
…
In another small courtyard not far from the west backyard, Qin Wan was splicing the bones of Second Aunt Niang.
All the excavated bones have been cleaned, the mud was washed away, revealing the original color of human bones, and the house is a mourning hall, and there are still the corpses of Liu Shi and Liu Chun, so Qin Wan simply stayed in the yard Stitch it together.
Two clerks brought out a long case from the utility room on the side, and brushed off the dust on it. Qin Wan placed Second Aunt's head on the long case. Then came the spine and sternum. Qin Wan gradually restored the human figure that had been placed just now, and was about to place the pelvis when Mrs. Lin flashed in from the gate of the courtyard.
Lin only knew that Yan Chi and Huo Huaixin were waiting for her in this courtyard, but she never expected to see Qin Wan playing with human bones as soon as she entered the courtyard. Qin Guan had already assumed the shape of a human at that time. Seeing that skeleton's legs soften, he was about to lose his composure, but fortunately, the servant behind him had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and supported Lin Shi.
Qin Wan turned around when she heard the movement, and blessed Lin with the bone in her hand, "Third Aunt—"
Lin looked at Qin Wan, then at the skeleton behind her, and pursed her lips, "Guan'er, why are you doing this..."
Qin Wan glanced back, "Oh, when Guan'er was studying medicine, he learned about human bones from medical books, and now it just comes in handy. It doesn't matter if he can help His Royal Highness and the prefect, and he can solve the case sooner. "
Lin wanted to laugh but couldn't. Yan Chi and Huo Huaixin came out from the main hall. He and Huo Huaixin were looking at Liu Chun's body. salute.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness, the prefect..."
Yan Chi's expression was indifferent, "Mrs. Qin doesn't need to be too polite."
Speaking of which, Yan Chi walked towards the long case in the yard, and continued to say in a low voice, "This is the skeleton of Second Aunt."
Lin's complexion changed slightly when he heard this, and he carefully glanced at the long case before looking any further, Yan Chi continued, "Ninth girl is good at medical skills, judging from the scar on this bone, this second aunt once I have given birth to a child, can there be such a thing?"
Lin pursed her lips, "The women don't know about this."
Yan Chi narrowed his eyes, his eyes suddenly became cold, Lin hurriedly said, "It's not an excuse for a woman, it's really back then... when the master brought her back from outside, we didn't even know her name. She was very beautiful, so the master loved her. Later, he only knew that her surname was Yang, and the master held her in his hands. After the quarrel, Yang lived separately from us, she has a small kitchen in the yard, and she doesn’t come out on weekdays, and I have never heard of her being pregnant or giving birth.”
After a slight pause, Mrs. Lin continued, "However... she was not a girl in her teens when she entered the door. Although she was born beautiful, she was at least in her twenties depending on her age. We asked the master about her worth, but the master Not to mention, later on, the peasant woman and her mother guessed, perhaps, she is not necessarily a widow somewhere, and later she threw herself into the well, and the peasant woman did not receive her gift."
Yan Chi frowned, "So, we can only ask Master Qin about the background of this second aunt?"
When Lin heard the words, she lowered her eyes bitterly, "Master is very ill, it would be great if His Royal Highness can ask."
Yan Chi raised his eyebrows, Qin An is terminally ill? Looking at Huo Huaixin thinking this way, Huo Huaixin sighed and nodded, "When I entered the mansion this morning, the officials went to see it. Master Qin was a little delirious, and seemed a little stupid."
Qin Wan was fighting on the sidelines, and was slightly taken aback when he heard that Hualiu disease would indeed make people stupid, but that would only happen after the bayberry sore was born, that is to say, it would take at least two months before it would be like this, but why did Qin An go crazy so quickly? Silly
Qin Wan has already spliced together the large main bones, and the rest of the phalanges, teeth and other small bones have not been moved. She looked carefully, but really did not find any traces of injury. Qin Wan straightened up, Once the corpse turns into white bones, it is really difficult to determine the cause of death unless it is poisoned or there are obvious signs of injury left on the bones.
Now that no new scars have been found, we can only accept the saying that Second Auntie threw herself into a well and died.
"Master Qin didn't invite a doctor?" Yan Chi stared, with some doubts in his tone.
Mrs. Lin sighed, "Of course I did, but this disease is difficult to cure, and I planned to invite Dr. Huang into the mansion, but Dr. Huang is not in Jinzhou City these days, and the women and mother are anxious, but there is nothing they can do. "
Lin's tone was sad, with a sense of grief, Yan Chi frowned, and glanced at Qin Wan. Qin Wan was in the mansion, but the people of the Qin mansion had no intention of letting her go to see a doctor for Qin An. Planning to let Qin An fend for himself like this
"In that case, let's wait for Master Qin to get better."
Yan Chi's tone was slightly relaxed, and Lin's tense back also relaxed quickly. After hesitating for a moment, Lin asked, "By the way, the bones in the well have been dug out now, what else do His Royal Highness and the prefect want to check? There is no need to check anything, the well... is a bit taboo after all, according to my mother's wishes, I still have to fill it in."
Huo Huaixin looked at Yan Chi, and Yanchi looked at Huo Huaixin, "Master Huo, have you checked everything below?"
Huo Huaixin nodded, "Yes, I've searched every corner."
"Well, the Qin government can deal with it as they wish."
Hearing what Yan Chi said, the corners of Lin's lips curved slightly, "Yes, thank you Your Highness, the prefect has also worked hard."
Huo Huaixin waved his hand, "For an official, this should be done."
Lin looked at the two of them for a moment, "If His Royal Highness and the magistrate don't have any orders, the women will leave."
Huo Huaixin let out a "hmm", Lin Fu turned around and walked out.
Yan Chi walked up to Qin Wan, "Did you find anything?"
Even though Qin Wan had doubts, there was no evidence at the moment, but he could only say calmly, "No, it was the same as before. I can only see that the second aunt had given birth to a child, but I can't tell whether she died by throwing herself into a well. Right now, I can only think that She did die by throwing herself into a well.”
Huo Huaixin also came over, "It's a pity that Master Qin is a little delirious, otherwise you can ask about the origin of this second aunt. In addition, the person who moved away Zhen Yaoshi and killed Liu Chun must be a man of great strength. Why don't you come here?" Do some investigation among the men in the mansion?"
Yan Chi nodded, "It's possible, no matter what, the people who killed Liu and Liu Chun must be from the Qin family."
Since the investigation of the man in the mansion is to be started, it means that the progress of the case will be slowed down. Qin Wan sighed softly in his heart, and turned to the house. There was an ice basin in the house, but it was so. The bodies of both Liu Shi and Liu Chun Already exuding a rancid smell, Qin Wan looked carefully at the corpses of Liu Shi and Liu Chun, and suddenly looked at Liu Chun's hand.
Another day later, the injured part of Liu Chun's finger had begun to dry, crack and peel off the skin. What Qin Wan saw at the moment was the debris in the crevices of his nails. Under the light of the torch last night, it looked like dead leaves and dust. Today, Qin Wan Wan looked at it again, but something was different.
Qin Wan frowned, looked left and right, and then saw the white paper money scattered on the ground not far away. She walked over, picked up a piece of paper money, and returned to Liu Chun. Qin Wan took out the needle bag from his sleeve, He chose the smallest needle, and then carefully flicked out the crumbs from Liu Chun's nails. After flicking a few fingers, a small ball was piled up on the white paper money. Qin Wan held it The paper money walked under the skylight at the door, and then pushed the crumbs away with the tip of a needle.
Seeing her acting cautiously and not daring to disturb her, Yan Chi only asked softly, "What's the matter?"
Qin Wan frowned and said, "When I looked at it last night, I thought it was just dust, but looking at it now, it's not..."
"What's that?" Yan Chi took a step forward, still not daring to make too much noise.
The paper money was a small piece, and the scraps on it couldn't help breathing. Qin Wan held the paper money in front of his eyes and looked at it, and suddenly said, "It seems to be... some kind of pastry..."
Qin Wan had only eaten Mrs. Liu's sweet-scented osmanthus cake in the morning, and now looking at these pieces, the more they looked like it.
Yan Chi reacted very quickly, "Could it be that Liu Chun ate something before he died?"
Qin Wan frowned, "It's very possible, but even though he was hiding in the mansion at that time, he never dared to walk around casually. Could it be that he was so bold that he went to the kitchen to throw in pastries?"
"It shouldn't be possible." Yan Chi shook his head, "He should have been hiding in the purple bamboo forest at the time, and there were quite a lot of servants stationed in the mansion that whole day, and afterward the magistrate led people to search him, so he had no reason to dare Get out and run around."
The phoenix eyes were narrow, and Yan Chi's tone became deep, "So... could it be that someone brought him food?"
"Murderer?" Qin Wan reacted faster and looked at Yan Chi. When his eyes met, Yan Chi's eyes lit up. Without him saying a word, Qin Wan knew that he had confirmed his thoughts, so his expression lifted, "Liu Chunchen knew that Mrs. Liu was killed and hid, maybe the one who helped him hide was the murderer, and then the murderer took the opportunity of giving him food to kill him!"
When Qin Wan pushed the case, she was focused and cold, but now she figured out a new clue, and the thin light in her eyes became more intense due to excitement. At this moment, her eyes are clear and clear, black and white like a deer, and the shape is like a spot of paint. Yan Chi couldn't look away.
"If that's the case, the murderer didn't want to blame him from the very beginning. The murderer knew that Liu's death would definitely involve Steward Liu, but he wasn't satisfied with this. He still wanted to let Steward Liu die. The murderer either hated Steward Liu very much, Or, they want to use his death to implicate something."
When Yan Chi said this, the light in his eyes brightened, and almost at the same time, Qin Wan's eyes also widened.
"Second Aunt—"
"Second Aunt—"
The two said these three words in unison. Qin Wan looked up at Yan Chi, and the corners of his lips curled unconsciously, "This is the second hypothesis, but at present, this hypothesis is the most likely. Liu Chun has been in the mansion for many years. Sitting in the position of housekeeper, although there are many domineering things on weekdays, he has never murdered anyone. In addition, the prefect has asked him that no one in the house has a deep hatred against him, so the possibility of killing people because of hatred is very high. Little, and the most sinful thing he did was having an affair with Aunt Liu..."
Yan Chi continued, "But Qin An didn't know that Butler Liu was having an affair with Aunt Liu. When the magistrate told Mr. Qin about this the other day, Mr. Qin was so angry that he almost fainted. The magistrate said that he doesn't look like a fake."
Qin Wan also nodded, "If the third uncle knows about this, based on his status as the head of the family, there are a hundred ways to kill Aunt Liu and Liu Chun, and Liu Chun is a house slave who has signed a death contract. You can directly deal with his family law."
"Although Mrs. Liu is very flamboyant in the mansion, she has never had a bad relationship with anyone. The person who dislikes her the most is Madam Qin, but I heard from the servants below that although Mrs. Liu is very flamboyant, she is very good at being a person. I know that Mrs. Qin Be respectful in front of her, at least on the surface, no one has an enmity with her enough to kill her."
Yan Chi followed Qin Wan's words, Qin Wan nodded and said, "And the murderer is going to kill Liu Shi and Liu Butler one after another, if there is only hatred, it will be unreasonable."
Having said that, Qin Wan's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Mrs. Liu died under the flower shed for the first time, and there was originally a well under the flower shed. Could it be that the murderer wanted to take this well for the first time? Take it out of the well?"
Yan Chi stared and thought, sure enough, both Liu's death and Liu Chun's death were by the well. Could it be that the murderer really wanted to involve this murderous well
"It's possible that if he died by the well, the old man in the mansion might mention that it was the murderous well that killed the man, and thus lead to the old story of Second Aunt..."
After Qin Wan finished speaking, he carefully wrapped the scraps in the piece of paper money, and then handed it over to a government servant not far away. Yan Chi followed her and said, "Now we have to wait for Master Qin to wake up. Ask Second Aunt about her background back then."
Qin Wan paused, and then said in a low voice, "Flower willow disease does make people stupid, but it won't be like this at the beginning, at least, it will not happen until two months later, if the third uncle's physique It's already weak, so it will be at least a month later, it doesn't make sense to be stupid now... "
Yan Chi narrowed his eyes, "You mean he's pretending to be stupid?"
Qin Wan pursed her lips, "From the doctor's point of view, it's true."
The corners of Yan Chi's lips curved slightly, and he sneered slightly.
As soon as the sneer came out, Qin Wan immediately felt that the wind around him was cold for a moment, then Yan Chi looked at Qin Wan and said, "You go back first, I will visit Master Qin in person."
Qin Wan blinked, Yan Chi looked at her with warm eyes, but she did not forget Yan Chi's sneer just now.
"His Royal Highness... you..."
Yan Chi glanced at her reassuringly, "Don't worry, I have my sense of proportion."
After finishing speaking, Yan Chi called Bai Feng and a few yamen servants, turned around and left the yard.
Qin Wan looked at the back of Yan Chi striding away, and somehow became worried for Qin An.
Seeing that Yan Chi had left, Fu Ling stepped forward, "Miss, do we want to go back?"
Qin Wan glanced at the bone frame on the long case, and nodded when thinking of the medicine to be given to Qin Li tonight, "Go back, wait for the news from His Royal Highness..."
…
…
Qin Wan can cure Qin Li, so naturally she can also rule Qin An, but she is in such a situation in the Qin Mansion, so naturally she will not rush to treat people. Jiang and Lin know her existence but they don't open their mouths. Of course she understands how to care about it.
Qin An is an elder, and he suffers from such an embarrassing disease. It is conceivable that it would be nothing if Jiang could put his face aside and face her, but Jiang just couldn't. Since the sick person is the closest Everyone in the family thinks that face is more important. Qin Wan only has the original wish of curing diseases and saving lives, but he has not yet reached the point of meddling in other people's housework and telling others the truth that fate is greater than heaven.
Back in Tinglan Garden, Qin Wan carefully thought about how he asked Qin Li for his pulse last night, and after a while, he drew up another set of prescriptions for external use, "Fu Ling, go to the medicine store again... take more of these medicines Some… "
Fu Ling got the order to leave, and Qin Wan grinded the almonds alone with a pestle.
The most important thing to cure Hualiu disease is to remove heat, dehumidify and strangle poison. However, this disease is poisonous and stubborn. It is one of the incurable diseases that Qin Wan knew from the beginning of his practice. If she can cure Qin Li this time, it will be a medical skill great progress.
Qin Wan has always liked to study medicine, and with this thought, she puts more effort into it. Both internal and external medicines are made by herself, but among the external medicines she prescribed today, there is a medicine that induces But it made her a little bit troubled.
"Human milk..." Qin Wan looked at Fang Zi and frowned. Where could she find human milk for Qin Li? He prescribed this prescription, so he had to find this medicine by himself.
Thinking of this, Qin Wan wrote down the method of medicine in detail under the prescription: take a cup of human milk, boil it to half the cup, add the premedication, boil it dry, smash it and put it on.
After writing this line, Qin Wan looked outside the door. Fu Ling had already gone for two cups of tea, and she should have come back long ago on weekdays. Could something have happened
Thinking of this, Qin Wan couldn't let it go. Qin's residence was in troubled times. Although it was broad daylight, Fuling was not a playful person. Could it be that something happened that delayed his time
Qin Wan folded the prescription and was about to get up and go out to have a look, but the courtyard door was pushed open!
There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and when the door opened, Fu Ling walked in with two packs of medicine.
"Miss, the third master is alright..."
Fu Ling ran in a hurry, her forehead was covered with thin sweat, Qin Wan raised her eyebrows when she heard this, "His Royal Highness is coming?"
Fu Ling shook her head, put down the medicine bag, and smiled, "His Royal Highness hasn't come yet. Just now when I came back, I met two slaves in the front yard. Those two slaves were responsible for guarding the courtyard of the third master. They said that the third master There was an accident over there and I wanted to invite the old lady, so the servants stopped them and asked, only to find out after asking, it turned out that His Royal Highness passed by..."
Seeing Fu Ling suppressing a smile, Qin Wan was a little curious, "How?"
Fu Ling took a breath and said, "His Royal Highness first asked Mr. Qin about the origins of his second aunt. Mr. Qin was lying on the bed, unable to speak or move, so he rolled his eyes and panted for a while. The servant who was waiting on the side said, The third master has been like this for two days, saying that he is too sick, and I'm afraid he won't be able to reply."
"His Royal Highness heard the words and said, just right, he is here to treat the third master!"
Fu Ling's eyes brightened, and she said with joy, "The person in charge of serving is a steward in the front yard. When he heard this, he didn't realize it immediately, and then His Royal Highness said that when he was in Shuoxi, he learned about a method of the barbarians. To cure the disease of a stupid person, it is said that one only needs to pierce an iron needle as thick as a little finger into the person's head, and do not pull it out within seven days. The disease of stupidity will be cured."
Fu Ling laughed, "Miss, you said, this method sounds scary but not scary. At that time, the old slave was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, but he didn't dare to disobey His Royal Highness. His Royal Highness said that he came to give people Healing the disease, how could it be misunderstood as harming others, and then ordered the white guard to find a needle, can you believe it, the white guard actually found an iron nail!"
Qin Wan smiled when he heard this, and Fu Ling continued, "The old slave was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he said that he would die. His Royal Highness said that the third master can't speak, he can't move his hands and feet, and he is almost dead. The case requires him to speak. Although this method looks scary, he still has to try it. As he spoke, he asked the white guard to stab his head. At this moment, the third master was able to move suddenly. Not only could he move, but he could even sit up on the bed stand up… "
Qin Wan's smile grew wider, she sighed and shook her head, this is not Shuoxi, although Yan Chi has been a little cold and arrogant for a long time, he did not do anything out of line, even Qin Wan forgot for a moment that he still has the "devil king" name! Qin An installs his stupidity like crazy, others dare not do anything to him, but Yan Chi has no scruples, this scare cured Qin An's stupidity!
If Qin An dared to continue pretending, Qin Wan had no doubt that Yan Chi would really put a nail into Qin An's head, and maybe even try the punishment that Shuoxi used against the barbarians!
"Miss! His Royal Highness is really amazing! The third master thought he could hide by pretending to be stupid, but he didn't expect that His Royal Highness would really dare to be tough. The little slave said that the third master was very frightened. He Is the illness really true? After I sat up, I was interrogated by His Royal Highness, and now I feel a little bad... "
Qin Wan shook his head, "Although the Hualiu disease is stubborn and evil, it comes on slowly, and it is basically impossible to die suddenly. Watching yourself gradually become ugly and rotten to death, this is the terrible thing about this disease."
Fu Ling nodded, "The little slave said that when they came out, His Royal Highness Shizi hadn't left yet, presumably they asked something."
Qin Wan's heart was at ease, "Of course you can ask. His Royal Highness is in Shuoxi, and even the barbarians know everything under his command, let alone the third uncle."
After finishing speaking, Qin Wan went to get the medicine bag on the table, and then went to grind the medicine himself.
After another two cups of tea, there was a soft knock at the courtyard door, and after a while Wan Tang said from outside, "Miss, we have a visitor."
Qin Wan's expression brightened, and he immediately got up and walked out. Outside the courtyard gate, Bai Feng was standing. Qin Wan quickened his pace by two minutes. As soon as he went out, he saw Yan Chi standing not far away, "His Royal Highness—"
Qin Wan walked up to him and blessed him, "What did your Highness ask?"
Yan Chi said casually, "Your third uncle is inexperienced. Although his stupidity has healed, Shicai really fainted. He said that he actually bought Second Aunt from a kidnapper back then, and she raised her in a foreign house for a few days first. , and then saw that she was beautiful and very docile, so she took her into the mansion as an aunt, and said that when she bought her, she knew that she had been married before, but because of her appearance, she never minded this. I'm afraid the child was born before, and she has not been pregnant since entering the Qin residence."
Qin Wan frowned slightly when he heard this, "Could it be that the second aunt missed her child after being brought into the Qin Mansion, and then threw herself into the well? The third uncle knew she was abducted, but he didn't let her go back? The third uncle didn't know about her family either. Who else is there?"
Yan Chi sighed, "Most likely he didn't let her go. He also said that he really didn't know about Second Aunt's family background, and he only coveted her appearance and wanted to keep her by his side..."
"I've seen a lot of cases of coveting beauty and taking it by force. Could it be that someone in the mansion felt sorry for Ba Yiniang's experience and used murder to expose this matter?"
Qin Wan had doubts in his eyes, and Yan Chi said, "The magistrate's investigation of the men in the mansion has not been successful for the time being. Besides, there are only two young masters and Qin An himself in the mansion. Qin An is seriously ill, and so is Qin Li. Although Qin Chen is an adult , is not good at martial arts, and his strength is not ordinary, so it seems that he is not the person he is looking for, this is a problem."
After a slight pause, Yan Chi said, "I plan to go to the government office to see if there is any missing person recorded in the Jinzhou government office ten years ago. If there is, maybe I can find out the exact identity of the second aunt."
Qin Wan just thought of this, so he nodded slightly, "Your Highness is very thoughtful."
As he spoke, he frowned slightly, thinking of something and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, a moment later—"
Saying that, Qin Wan turned around and walked quickly towards the courtyard. Yan Chi watched Qin Wan's back disappear behind the courtyard gate but didn't know what she was going to do. Soon, Qin Wan came out.
She held a piece of letterhead in her hand, "This is the bibliography His Highness wants."
Qin Wan walked up to Yan Chi, and handed over the letterhead. Yan Chi glanced down, and saw a brilliant wave of light on the already glittering pupils, like a galaxy in the cold night, bursting out, which made Qin Wan amazed. Mingguang comes.
Yan Chi reached out to take it, "This time, you haven't forgotten."
Qin Wan saw that Yan Chi was silent, Yan Chi put the letter into his cuff, "Go back."
Qin Wan looked at Yan Chi for another moment before turning around and entering the yard. Although her back was turned to Yan Chi, she could feel Yan Chi's gaze on her back, and it disappeared only after entering the courtyard gate.
Qin Wan's footsteps stopped, and he suddenly turned around to look. As far as he could see, Yan Chi was striding away, and his clothes were fluttering around his legs, as if the wind would blow up when he moved...
Qin Wan stood for a while before turning around. Before reaching the door of the house, a gust of cold wind blew in from outside the courtyard.
Qin Wan frowned and looked at the swaying lanterns under the eaves, and then looked at the cloudy sky. Is it going to rain
Fu Ling urged Qin Wan to enter the house, "Miss, go in quickly, it looks like it's going to rain, one layer of autumn rain and one layer of coolness, the weather is going to be even colder."
Qin Wan took two steps forward, and suddenly stared, "The bones in the yard haven't been confiscated yet."
As soon as the words fell, Qin Wan turned around and walked out, "Take the umbrella, let's go and have a look."
Fu Ling smiled wryly, "My miss, why do you still remember that pile of bones..."
Having said that, Fu Ling went back to the house to take the umbrella, and then trotted all the way to catch up with Qin Wan. A cool rain fell.
Fuling held an umbrella, and as soon as she and Qin Wan walked to the gate of the morgue, she saw two yamen servants cleaning up the bones on the long case. Fuling breathed a sigh of relief, "Miss, take a look, the big brother yamen here will take care of it. You almost got caught in the rain!"
Qin Wan shook her head, everyone came, so she stepped forward to help, the servants knew Qin Wan, and seeing that Huo Huaixin treated her with respect, they didn't dare to neglect her, "Ninth Miss, don't do anything, just watch from the sidelines." yes… "
As they spoke, the two yamen servants directly lifted the long case and walked into the mourning hall. The two were one in front of the other, but one was taller and the other was short. A few bones, big and small, were unstable and fell to the ground with a grunt. Qin Wan smiled and stepped forward, "I'll pick it up, you guys carry it in..."
The two clerks hurriedly adjusted their positions, and then carefully carried the bones of a long case in. The long case was put down in the room. Fortunately, Qin Wan's figure was not too scattered. On the other side, Qin Wan was holding a piece of leg A bone and four or five small bones came in, but when they were about to put them on the case, their eyes were fixed.
That's all the leg bones. The four or five small bones in her palm are broken bones from the joints of the human body, which cannot be fixed, so Qin Wan put them aside and did not fit into the human skeleton. But at this moment, she was staring at the smallest bone. Doubtful eyes.
It's because she can tell where the other bones are from Second Aunt at a glance, but this small piece, she can't see where it comes from. Could it be that this is not on Second Aunt
