"Follow this prescription for three days. This prescription is to detoxify, and to curb the willow disease. However, the disease is difficult to cure, and I am not completely sure, so I don't know how many days it can be delayed."
After Qin Wan finished writing, he handed the prescription to Qin An's servant. The servant knew that Qin Wan had recovered from the accident, and couldn't help being grateful when he saw it. After thanking him several times, he went out to get the medicine. Qin Wan got up and went inside again. Shi Shi glanced at Qin An who was now tied to the bed, but there was no pity for other patients in his eyes.
Yan Chi stood behind Qin Wan, and said in a low voice after a while, "Let's go, I'll take you back."
Qin Wan nodded, turned around and left the yard.
After such a fuss, the sky outside is still still early. Qin Wan looked up, only to feel that the sky is a transparent blue, and the morning glow in the sky is looming, and there is a faint gold in the blue, as if stained with blue ink. His paintbrush swiped across the sky, and then sprinkled a layer of gold powder on it.
The coolness of the morning came with the breeze, and Qin Wan felt a little cold at this moment. She closed her skirt and looked down, but saw a layer of ice like frost and dew spreading on the green grass beside the path. Ning, exhaled lightly, and there was a faint white mist, Qin Wan couldn't help frowning, "The weather is really cold, and it's not even October yet."
Fu Ling waited by her side, even though Yan Chi was also there, she boldly said, "Miss, I forgot, this time of year is also so cold, but it's mostly damp and cold, and it doesn't snow much in the south."
Qin Wan said "Oh", "I see."
Yan Chi's gaze also slid across the blue sky that seemed to have been washed by water. Hearing this, his brows frowned slightly, "You hurt your head when you fell into the lake? What's wrong with you now?"
Qin Wan shook her head, "I just woke up with a headache, but it's all gone now, but I can't remember the past clearly."
Yan Chi's eyes were contemplative, and a trace of inquiring doubt floated on the glinting pupils, "I can't remember clearly what happened in the past... Amnesia? I'm afraid there is still an unknown injury in the brain. It is said that healers can't help themselves." Doctor, why don't you find another doctor to show you? If there are any hidden dangers left, it will definitely have a great impact in the future."
Although Yan Chi doesn't understand medical theory, he has fought in the battlefield all year round and has a good understanding of various internal and external injuries. There are also people on the battlefield who have not seen external injuries but have their internal organs and heads broken. The doctors in the army usually say that there is a disease in the brain. Congestion, or viscera ruptured by beating, nothing can be seen on the outside, but it needs to be treated with medicine.
Qin Wan shook his head, "I'm most afraid of hurting my bones or having blood in my brain, but I haven't had any headaches since then, so I don't think I need to see a doctor anymore. Maybe it hurt a vein in my brain. It's also possible that the veins are blocked and I forget the past. of."
Physicians agree with the meridians, Yan Chi understands, and as a doctor, Qin Wan is responsible for the bodies of other patients, and will not neglect himself. Yan Chi stopped talking, and then asked, "What happened that night?"
Qin Wan's eyes twitched, "Actually, I've forgotten the details, probably because of the dreary weather and my heart was a little depressed, so I planned to go for a walk by the Banyue Lake, but suddenly it rained heavily, and I slipped and fell into the lake. "
Yan Chi narrowed his eyes, "I went to see the Banyue Lake in your Qin Manor. Unless you have the intention of committing suicide, you wouldn't go to the edge. If you didn't go to the edge, how could you stumble into it?"
Qin Wan sighed, Yan Chi was already thoughtful, casual lies could not fool him.
"Maybe I was in a trance at that time, or I did have the idea of committing suicide. I don't remember clearly now, but it's all over. After that time, my mood suddenly became much better."
Yan Chi frowned and looked at Qin Wan beside him. If Qin Wan had such a temperament, would she have the idea of committing suicide
Or, as Bai Feng said, she changed her temperament after falling into the lake this time
A deep question appeared in Yan Chi's eyes, but he just kept the question in his heart and didn't ask further.
When Yan Chi said to send Qin Wan, he presumed that Qin Wan was sent back to Tinglanyuan, "Two more skeletons were dug out last night, they should be the last two. I hope your medicine can make Qin An get better soon. What happened back then Although it is known that it was Qin An's handwriting, it is still unknown how, and he has to say it himself... "
Qin Wan nodded, "Okay, I'll go to the back to help later."
Yan Chi said "Mmm", "Don't worry, just go in."
Qin Wan turned around and entered the yard, but he was thinking about what happened to Qin An today. Qin An was poisoned, and after a few days of poisoning, the accumulation of poison caused him to go crazy. No matter how concealed it is, the person who poisoned him must also be related to the victim back then. To a large extent, he was the murderer who killed Liu Shi and Liu Chun.
As soon as she entered the room, Fu Ling couldn't help but gritted her teeth and said, "The third master is really outrageous. He even likes to raise children. Even the sixth lady can see it, but the old lady can't. The old lady is clearly trying to delay time." …”
"If my own child is treated like this by others, then I really want to kill him."
"For so many years, I haven't seen such... such a crazy person. If I have such a father, I might as well die. He is a sinner himself, and his family will not be able to live in peace."
Qin Wan went out early and hadn't had breakfast yet. Fu Ling knit her brows together tightly as she prepared the meal while talking. However, although she didn't have much knowledge, she didn't know how to swear, so she didn't say anything after thinking about it for a long time Come.
Qin Wan's face was also slightly gloomy, and he said as he sat down, "Everyone who commits heinous crimes in the world will die, but in between, some people are persecuted, some people do it out of necessity, and some people, But those who commit crimes on their children just because of their own greed are the ones I don't want to save."
"Will the medicine prescribed by the lady cure the third master?"
Qin Wan shook his head, "His illness is already much more serious than Qin Li's. In addition, he was poisoned, and he seemed to have one foot in the coffin, but this case still requires him to speak. My medicine is just to save his life. That's all."
After Qin Wan finished speaking, there was no ripple in her heart at all. If it hadn't been for the oath made by the family of the medicine king Gu, she would even have wanted to add something else to Qin Wan's medicine. The most painful death in the darkest corner is not enough to pay for the sin. Thinking of this, Qin Wan suddenly thought of the murderer who killed Liu Chun and the Liu family.
The Qin family has a great career, and for no reason, who would think of digging the deserted wells of the Qin family? Even if the second aunt's body was actually dug up, it would not be enough to explain anything. If it wasn't for Yan Chi being here, it was Huo Huaixin. I'm afraid she would have to fight with the Qin family. If it was her, she wouldn't guarantee herself No extreme measures will be taken to uncover this matter.
But killing someone is punishable, and the law and human feelings may be difficult to judge for ordinary people, but Qin Wan has followed his father for many years, and has long planted the seed that the law is more important than human feelings. It doesn't matter, after all, one tragedy caused another tragedy, she can sympathize, but Da Zhou's Xingtong can't.
After breakfast, Qin Wan went to the Purple Bamboo Forest again. Including the corpses dug out last night, a total of thirteen skeletons were dug out from the bottom this time. It was not until the afternoon that Qin Wan and Xu He cleaned the thirteen skeletons and put them together whole.
"Miss Jiu, the magistrate said it should be gone."
Xu He came from the direction of the purple bamboo forest, and now a very deep trench has been dug from the flower shed to the well in the purple bamboo forest. What came out, at this moment, all the mud underneath has been rummaged through, except for the phalanges and teeth, other bones have been rummaged out.
"It's not bad." Qin Wan is still packing up the long case. Although he still doesn't know the names of these bones, at least the bones will not be incomplete when they are buried in the future. Qin Wan doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, but there should be some grief And awe-inspiring but a little bit less.
"It's such a huge job. In the past two days and two nights, the brothers in the yamen have been exhausted. If it's work, I'm afraid that a house will be built. The magistrate just said that this month's salary An extra one or two per person will be counted as the hard work of everyone in this case and the previous case of the Hou Mansion..."
As Xu He spoke, a smile appeared in his eyes, as if he was very satisfied. Qin Wan also bent his lips. Huo Huaixin, the magistrate's official voice was not for nothing. It also makes people unable to pick the wrong place.
"Write these down today, and tomorrow we can send all the bones to the Yamen." Xu He said, picking up the pen and paper on the table, "Among these people, the oldest is twelve years old, and the youngest is only 12 years old." Eight years old, hey, it's really embarrassing... I don't know where they are from, where their families are, and whether there is anyone in their families."
Although Xu He is a lowly servant in the eyes of everyone, he has read books after all, and he is also bookish, and he can't stop sighing like Poria cocos, "It's all my daughter's family. There are other brothers and sisters, that’s all. If not, their parents are now in their forties. The family lost their daughter in the early years, and now the old couple live alone. If they have some money, it’s fine. …”
Qin Wan looked at Xu He, "Is there anyone else among Xu Wu's writers?"
Xu He was suddenly asked, and couldn't help saying, "No, the only old father in the family passed away five years ago. The old father also studied in the early years, and later worked as a teacher in the village for a few days, but he got sick and stayed in bed. I'm sorry, it's useless for me to just drag and drag people away like this."
Qin Wan's eyes darkened slightly, "No wonder you can read and write, then how did you become a writer?"
Xu He sighed, and there was no resentment on his face, "I spent all my family's money on my father's medical treatment. Fortunately, a cousin helped me to take care of my father's funeral. But after that, I have no idea. I have to do something in the future." What to support myself, but I have no way to go, said that I have never entered an academy, it is still that cousin, he is a teacher in Xishui County in the west of Jinzhou, he said he has nothing to teach, so I asked if I want to enter Doing business."
"I thought, no matter what kind of job you do, it's always good to make a living, so I learned from my cousin for a while, first helping out in Xishui County, and then the magistrate saw that I was young and down-to-earth, and happened to be short of a job in the magistrate's yamen, so he went Let me come here, in fact, this seat should belong to my cousin, but my cousin said that he is old, and it is meaningless to come here, let me come to experience more, so now I have no words to say who else is in my family , but this uncle has the kindness to rebuild me, and he can be regarded as my only relative... "
Xu He's tone was relaxed, and he didn't have any regrets about entering the Wuzuo business at a young age. Qin Wan listened and thought for a while, "How old is Xu Wuzuo this year?"
Xu He was a little embarrassed when he heard the words, "I'm already twenty-three."
twenty-three? ! Qin Wan's hand holding the pen couldn't help shaking... She turned her eyes and glanced at Xu He. Perhaps she was exhausted the past few days. It was about thirty, and thinking of the first time he saw Xu He, Qin Wan's first feeling was that Xu He must be at least twenty-nine, but he was only twenty-three.
Qin Wan withdrew his gaze, feeling a little dumbfounded in his heart, and then straightened his voice, "It seems that Xu Wuzuo is still young, Xu Wuzuo is not a lowly slave, and he has read books. Master Huo sees that he will reuse Xu Wuzuo, and wait for the future. If there is a chance, Xu Wuzuo can find a position in the Inspectorate, and in the future, he may be able to help the common people get their grievances resolved."
Xu He's eyes lit up, but those people who were originally lowly were different. He was at least from a good family background, and in addition to the scientific examination, Da Zhou also practiced the examination system and the official system. As long as he is hardworking, Huo Huaixin will give him more One or two chances, the road that Qin Wan said is not impossible, he has thought about it before, but he has no idea in his heart, now that Qin Wan has said this, he can't help but have infinite hope in his heart.
"Yes, the best way I can think of is the same, thank you Nine Girls for your kind words!"
Qin Wan laughed a little when he heard the words, "Xu Wuzuo is open-minded and hard-working, so it must be possible."
Xu He almost wanted to bow to Qin Wan, and he was inexplicably convinced of Qin Wan in his heart. As soon as Qin Wan opened his mouth, he really had a lot of confidence in himself, "Thank you for your kind words, thank you..."
It was not too early to sort out all the bones. At this time, Huo Huaixin came striding from the front yard. Perhaps it was difficult to talk outside, so Huo Huaixin invited Yan Chi and Qin Wan to the side hall.
"Master Zhifu, what's the matter?"
Xu He asked cautiously, and Huo Huaixin snorted angrily, "We can't find out about the poisoning, Qian Bairen prescribes the medicine, two slaves take the medicine, and his own people in the courtyard cook the medicine. It is possible that the two slaves and the medicine cooker were involved, but after a whole day of interrogation, these four people insisted on not opening their mouths, and they were hit thirty!"
Yan Chi frowned, "If it's really harmful to others, it's impossible to say so easily, but what motive do these people have?"
Huo Huaixin said with a wry smile, "It's very strange here. Today, the two servants, His Royal Highness and Nine Girls, both saw it. They said that they had been in Qin'an's courtyard since they were young. They had been in Qin'an's courtyard for many years. The Qin family has children, both parents are in the Qin family, logically speaking, the more children are born in the family, the less they dare to murder the master, but Qian Bairen has no reason to poison him."
Huo Huaixin gasped for breath, Yan Chi pondered for a moment, "Maybe there are other clues we haven't found, I always feel that this matter has something to do with Second Aunt, tomorrow my people will bring back news from Yang County, when the time comes See if there are any clues."
After a pause, Yan Chi asked Huo Huaixin again, "Where's Qin An?"
Huo Huaixin smiled wryly, "He's still going crazy, the commotion was so loud that he coughed up blood just now."
Qin Wan frowned, he coughed up blood and had severe symptoms, which showed that the poisoning was deep, but Qin Wan didn't plan to see Qin An again, and said, "My medicine will take at least one day to be effective."
Huo Huaixin hurriedly said, "It's nothing. Anyway, I've been waiting for a long time. It's all right, but the person behind the scenes always has no idea. I don't know what she will do next."
Qin Wan nodded and said nothing, Huo Huaixin exhaled and wiped his face, "In that case, the group of people who were on duty at the beginning will be withdrawn tonight, and His Royal Highness should go back to the Hou's Mansion to rest. For two days and nights, let alone the officials, the guards in the mansion must not relax, let's take it easy."
All the clerks have been busy for two days and two nights, but they kept changing people. Huo Huaixin and Yan Chi have never left the Qin Mansion. Huo Huaixin is also unshaven and tired. There were a few bloodshots.
Yan Chi nodded, "That's exactly what it should be, don't rush this moment."
All the bones had been sorted out, and they were all piled up in the west yard. Seeing the night fall, Huo Huaixin and Yan Chi left the Qin Mansion one after another. Even so, the Qin Mansion was still full of yamen.
Qin Wan went back to Tinglan Garden, just after dinner, Yao Xinlan went outside the gate of the courtyard.
Yao Xinlan had never been to Tinglan Garden for many days, Qin Wan was a little surprised by this sudden visit, Yao Xinlan smiled as she came in, "The mansion has been too chaotic these past two days, I can't go out and walk around, I heard that the magistrate and the prince I didn't dare to come around until His Highness left, it was getting late and I didn't know where to go, so I came to sit with you."
Qin Wan helped Yao Xinlan to sit down, "Sister-in-law should walk around more every day. I have freshly picked sweet-scented osmanthus flowers to make tea for my sister-in-law?"
Yao Xinlan clapped her hands, "That's a good relationship."
Mo Shu also said, "Miss feels much better after seeing Miss Jiu."
Qin Wan smiled and went to make tea, Fu Ling took the ink book and went out to talk, when Qin Wan came back with a cup of tea, but saw Yao Xinlan sitting in a daze, Qin Wan came forward, "What's wrong, sister-in-law?"
As he said, he handed over the tea, "Sister-in-law, try it..."
Yao Xinlan took the teacup and took a sip casually, "Mmm... it really is sweet..."
Having said that, Yao Xinlan put down the teacup, Qin Wan glanced at the full teacup, and knew that Yao Xinlan probably had something to say when she came here.
"Ninth Sister, I heard that my father... the bones dug from the bottom of the well in Zizhu Forest are all related to my father?"
Qin Wan's eyes turned slightly, "What did the elder brother say?"
At this point, Yao Xinlan's eyes dimmed, "Your elder brother didn't say anything, he just told me not to worry so much, take good care of your body and give birth to the child..."
Qin Wan bent her lips, "Brother is right, sister-in-law doesn't need to worry about the affairs of the house."
Yao Xinlan smiled wryly, "I'm not a child. If something happens, I always need to know. Ninth Sister, tell me, are the bones of those childish children his father..."
Yao Xinlan stared right into Qin Wan's eyes, and Qin Wan nodded.
Yao Xinlan gave a wry smile with a complicated expression, "This is really... I thought the Qin Mansion was an elegant and upright family, but... it's really... even thinking about it makes me feel scared..."
Obviously, this matter was beyond Yao Xinlan's imagination, and she couldn't think of words to describe it.
Qin Wan sighed, if this matter had been exposed long ago, then Yao Xinlan would not have married anyway, but the deal is done, there is nothing Yao Xinlan can do if she minds, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, this matter...may be a little bit to the Qin family. However, as long as the eldest brother is here, the Qin family will not fall, and the sister-in-law will be wronged."
Yao Xinlan was indeed aggrieved, she shook her head, "Actually, this matter is nothing, even if you marry into someone else's family, you may encounter such a thing, the prosperity or failure of a family is not controlled by one person, and what I plan is not controlled by one person. The wealth and splendor of the non-Qin family is just for someone like your eldest brother, but..."
"Huh?" Qin Wan looked at Yao Xinlan, "But what?"
Yao Xinlan pursed her lips tightly for a few moments, "But I think your elder brother has someone else in his heart."
Qin Wan opened his eyes, "Is it because of that dream?"
Yao Xinlan looked at Qin Wan steadfastly, as if making up her mind whether to tell her or not. After a while, Yao Xinlan leaned over and said in a low voice, "The last time I met Hong on the way back was not because I had a hard time traveling, but because ...but I heard her call a person's name in a dream, and I felt depressed, so I... "
Qin Wan's heart skipped a beat, "Did you call someone else's name? What was it called?"
Yao Xinlan smiled bitterly, "I didn't hear clearly, really, but do you believe in women's feelings? His tone is gentle, it must be a woman's name, but he is not calling me..."
Qin Wan clenched her hands on her knees slightly, feeling very suspicious in her heart for a moment. Qin Chen said that several people in Yao Xinlan's family had suffered from madness, so she often had dreams, and she was in a trance and couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality. However, that time " The "Yao" jade tablet was picked up by herself, so this time, is what she said true
"Maybe... Maybe it's just random ramblings, sister-in-law, don't think too much..."
Qin Wan felt a little powerless in her heart, and she didn't like what she said. She just didn't want to get involved in the entanglement between the couple, but Yao Xinlan seemed to regard her as someone she trusted. If what Yao Xinlan said was true, and she But it seems a little cruel to just blindly persuade Yao Xinlan not to think too much.
Yao Xinlan's eyes really showed two points of disappointment, she looked at Qin Wan for a moment, Yao Xinlan sighed, "Forget it, Ninth Sister is still young, I don't know how it will feel after two people have love, maybe I am suspicious, but many Everything..." Saying that, Yao Xinlan turned to say, "Ninth Sister, let me ask you this way, what kind of husband do you want to find?"
Qin Wan looked a bit stunned, "I haven't thought about this..."
Yao Xinlan smiled wryly, lowered her eyes and sighed, "In the past, many young talents in Jianzhou came to beg me, but I didn't want to, just because I don't think they are dedicated people, but your elder brother, he is begging I said at the time that I would never take a concubine, and that I was the only one in my heart for the rest of my life. I didn't believe it at the time, but he said that he saw his mother being neglected by his father when he was young, and his father was looking for flowers and flowers all day long. First, he kept his confidante outside Then he openly joined the mansion, and then started to take concubines, one after another, he said that he had had enough, and he would never be like his father in the future, at that time my heart was greatly moved, so I believed him."
"Now sister-in-law doesn't believe in elder brother?"
Qin Wan asked tentatively, and Yao Xinlan's eyes sparkled, "From believing to not believing, I..."
Yao Xinlan choked up all of a sudden, and at this moment, Qin Wan's heart seemed to be hit by something, and she also ached. Yao Xinlan was born in a scholarly family, with a kind heart, and her appearance was more like a porcelain doll. But right now, the pain in her eyes The pain is so obvious, her tears will not flow, but they are full in the eyes, Qin Wan suddenly feels that Qin Chen may have changed his mind as Yao Xinlan said, but who will Qin Chen like? Yao Xinlan is such a good person, but he gave her so much pain...
"Forget it." Yao Xinlan lowered her eyes, "I love him, so I will trust him, as long as he treats me well, I will trust him, even if I don't believe him later, as long as he treats me well again, coax me to pet me, I will trust him again..."
Qin Wan felt chills running down his spine, and felt more pity for Yao Xinlan in his heart. Yao Xinlan wiped the corners of her eyes and looked up at Qin Wan, "Aren't you very spineless? I used to be an arrogant person, but now I am like this , But... but there is something stuck in my heart, I get stabbed from time to time, Jiumei, I hope you won't be like me in the future."
Yao Xinlan finally shed tears, Qin Wan's throat tightened for a moment, she really didn't know what to say, and Yao Xinlan looked at her in pain, like someone floating on the sea who was about to drown.
She looked at her desperately, hoping that she could hand her a pole or an oar to pull her ashore, but Qin Wan had nothing in his hands, so he could only watch her helpless in the deep sea. Struggling, sinking, and finally being submerged.
Maybe it's the exhaustion of the past few days that makes Qin Wan's mood depressed, or maybe it's because of the sadness of this case, or maybe it's because of Yao Xinlan's tears again and again that make her feel sorry for her. At this moment, Qin Wan's heart is wet, sour and desolate .
Would a woman in love be so painful
Qin Wan has not yet experienced love, but has deep doubts about this thing that is often chanted in poems and songs.
"Sister-in-law, what do you want to do? Want me to do something for you?"
Qin Wan suddenly said that she didn't want to get involved in the muddy waters of the Qin Mansion, and she just wanted to be a doctor to cure Yao Xinlan's physical injuries. She couldn't take responsibility for the sadness in her heart, but at this moment, her heart softened. , unable to continue the rational persuasion of staying out of the matter, she has made a decision, if Yao Xinlan asks her to help with something, she will help her!
But when she asked this question, Yao Xinlan was stunned, "What to do? I don't know what to do..."
Qin Wan became ruthless, "Since sister-in-law suspects elder brother, she either believes in elder brother, or goes to find out if elder brother really likes someone else, and if so, who is that person."
After Qin Wan finished speaking, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he continued, "Sister-in-law is blindly jealous, and it is useless to put herself in grief. Sister-in-law is the eldest brother's wife and has absolute power. Find that person, or let eldest brother take over the house. Either send that person out of the mansion, so that he will never see that person again. Instead of being so suspicious and uncertain, why don't you be a little bit less, or, if the sister-in-law feels extremely sad, you can get back together... Of course, this is the worst plan Yes, maybe big brother didn’t.”
Qin Wan finally regained her sanity, and she didn't like procrastination, so she put these three paths in front of Yao Xinlan.
She thought Yao Xinlan would think about it, but she lowered her eyes, "I won't accept someone for him..."
Qin Wan thought of this possibility, and said without any surprise, "Then send that person out."
Yao Xinlan shook her head, "That way... he will hate me... and he won't treat me as well as he is now... and I... I have her child, and I never thought of getting divorced, and I can't feel better without him..."
Qin Wan was at a loss for words for a while, she thought she was a person with a clear mind, but looking at Yao Xinlan, she didn't know what she was thinking, and even if she wanted to help her, she had to know what she wanted to do.
"Ninth Sister... Thank you Ninth Sister... it's just..."
Yao Xinlan spoke intermittently, but couldn't make a sentence. Qin Wan suddenly understood that Yao Xinlan was too jealous. Qin Chen's kindness to her was extremely important and should not be easily damaged, so she could only hesitate. What to do for her is nothing more than expressing the suspicion and distress in my heart.
If she doesn't know what it's like, she doesn't know Yao Xinlan's thoughts, so she can see what she's thinking.
Qin Wan sighed. Yao Xinlan was born like a fragile porcelain doll, and her heart was not strong enough. Qin Wan couldn't bear to say that she was weak, and only had deep worries about her. If the relationship between her and Qin Chen was compared to a beautiful Porcelain, there are obviously cracks in the inside, Yao Xinlan is so self-deceiving and still keeps the porcelain as a treasure in her heart...
Qin Wan was afraid that if the porcelain broke one day, it would cut her bloody heart.
"I know, sister-in-law doesn't have to choose. If she feels bored, she can come to talk to me. It's just that sister-in-law has to protect herself. Even if she loves elder brother, she should think more about herself."
Yao Xinlan sobbed, wiped her tears, and slightly curved her lips, "Thank you Jiumei, in this house, Jiumei is probably the only one who really cares about me..."
Qin Wan's heart was slightly cold, what about Qin Chen
Thinking like this in his heart, Qin Wan didn't ask, thinking that he had two miscellaneous notes here, so he went to look for them and gave them to Yao Xinlan, "This is about the landscape of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there are many folk customs about raising children, which are very interesting. , Sister-in-law can take a look, but don’t look at it too much every day, and light a lamp when you look at it, so as not to hurt your eyes.”
Yao Xinlan was not interested in anything else at first, so it can be seen that Qin Wan was so sincerely concerned, he took it with great energy, and promised, "Okay, I will definitely read it, I have been to too few places, so this is just right."
After saying a few more words, seeing that it was getting late, Yao Xinlan took the initiative to say goodbye. Qin Wan sent their master and servant to the gate of the courtyard, and turned around after watching the backs of Yao Xinlan and Mo Shu disappear.
Fu Ling said with some pity, "Young Madam's eyes are red again, did she quarrel with Eldest Young Master again?"
Qin Wan shook her head, "There is no quarrel today, but my medicine can heal her pain and injury, but it can't heal the wound in her heart. She came to me just to find some comfort."
Fu Ling's tone was also low and deep, "It's a bit distressing to see."
Qin Wan exhaled, and stopped in the yard to look at the sky tonight. He thought he could see a few stars, but when he looked closely, it turned out to be a cloudy sky with no stars and no moon tonight, and he could faintly see a few dark clouds floating around. Just like Yao Xinlan's tears, it makes people feel depressed and heavy, "Yes, it makes people feel distressed, the word love really hurts..."
After Qin Wan finished speaking, she lowered her head and exhaled again, as if she wanted to exhale the heaviness in her heart. After a while, she shrugged, "The morals of the world are harsh on women. If you still fall into love and cannot extricate yourself, then It's really... the lucky ones find their lovers, and the unlucky ones can only feel a little bit cold in this deep house."
Fu Ling sighed, "I don't even want to get married anymore."
Qin Wan turned to look at Fuling, "Huh? Our Fuling wants to marry someone?"
Fu Ling was stunned for a moment, her face flushed immediately, she quickly shook her head and said, "No, this servant is talking about young lady, and this servant originally hoped that young lady would get married earlier, but now she is worried, afraid that young lady is like the young lady..."
Qin Wan patted the back of Fuling's hand, and then exhaled, "It's okay, don't say I'm not in a hurry to get married, even if I do, I've already thought about it."
Fu Ling opened her eyes, "Miss, what are you thinking about?"
The corners of Qin Wan's lips curled up, "Think about it... how not to let yourself be so sad as my sister-in-law..."
"Huh?" Fu Ling's eyes lit up, "What can I do?"
Qin Wan blinked, "I'll tell you when Fu Ling has a sweetheart in our family. Now, I won't tell you this secret..."
Fuling's cheeks turned red for a while, and she blamed Qin Wan to rest. Qin Wan was amused by Fuling's shyness, and lay down without saying a word when he was physically and mentally exhausted. This sleep was a dreamless night. In the early morning of the second day, Qin Wan got up as usual and walked slowly in the courtyard for a while. After breakfast, Yan Chi arrived at the mansion with the news from Yang County.
When Qin Wan rushed to the west backyard, Huo Huaixin and Xu He were also there. As soon as Yan Chi saw her, he said, "It was sent by Yang County. Let's take a look at the file of this case..."
Qin Wan Fu Fu came forward, and Yan Chi handed her the file.
"In addition to the dossiers, there are also the testimonies they got from visiting nearby people, all here." Yan Chi put out another stack of letterheads, all of which were the testimonies of the people interviewed in Yang County.
Qin Wan nodded, while Huo Huaixin also took the stack of letterheads to read. After a few glances, Huo Huaixin suddenly frowned, "Hey, why did their daughter get lost..."
Qin Wan frowned suddenly, and Yan Chi also looked at the letter in Huo Huaixin's hand.
Huo Huaixin handed it to Yan Chi, "His Royal Highness, some old people around said that there was a young daughter who disappeared with his wife back then. There were rumors at the time that it was the wife who left with the child."
If the husband and wife are at odds, some wives will leave with their children, but since the male master has reported to the official, it should not be the case.
"The record in this file is very simple, and it only records the disappearance of a 12-year-old woman, presumably the second aunt, but there is no mention of the missing daughter at home..." Qin Wan waved the file, and then spoke softly. Shen, "At the end of the year, I'm afraid that the government office was too busy and didn't pay attention to this kind of lost people.

Qin Wan didn't expect this, it's just that she walked with her father in the north and was used to seeing many small local government affairs, so she knew a lot. She didn't answer for a while, and only looked at the letter in Yan Chi's hand .
Yan Chi was watching intently, and suddenly frowned, "It is said that his daughter was only eight or nine years old at that time."
Qin Wan's eyebrows twitched, and Yan Chi looked at the other letterheads very quickly. Compared with the inactive government, the words of these ordinary people brought out huge clues intentionally or unintentionally.
Huo Huaixin was also busy looking at other testimonial letterheads. Seeing this, Qin Wan also put down the file and took some letterheads. The three of them looked at what was said above, and Qin Wan said, "Someone here also said that rumor, and that A big fire."
"Here!" Yan Chihu's voice was sure, "Some people say that his lost daughter is a lucky person, because she was born with six fingers! Six fingers... I remember the bones dug up earlier..."
"There is a skeleton with six fingers!"
Qin Wan answered quickly, and then tightly knit his brows together, "So, the second aunt's mother and daughter ended up in the Qin residence? The second aunt threw herself into the well because she knew her daughter was..."
