Xu He waited anxiously at the gate of the Qin Mansion, and couldn't help asking the servants beside him, "Why haven't you come back after being gone for so long?"
Infected by Xu He's anxiety, the servants of the government office also looked towards the end of the long street, "I don't know, brother Xu, what is the matter that is so anxious? Something happened in the mansion?"
Naturally, Xu He couldn't say it directly, he pursed his lips and said, "It's a small matter."
The Yachai frowned in disapproval, "Why are you in such a hurry for such a trivial matter? The magistrate and His Royal Highness have so many people to take away this time. The Qingyuan Pawnshop does a big business and has good eyes and ears. If you are not careful, you will run away." gone."
Xu He naturally understood this truth, but the affairs within the Qin Mansion should not be underestimated, "Hey, it would be great if His Royal Highness came back, and there is no need for two people to come back together, but there is no news after so long."
Xu He said again, "I remember that Qingyuan Pawnshop is in the west of the city, right? Is it on East Fourth Street?"
Ya almost nodded, "Why, you want to find it yourself?"
Xu He agreed to Qin Wan, and thinking that perhaps Qin Wan had already opened the scroll, he couldn't help but feel even more anxious.
Looking left and right, Xu He planned to borrow a horse from the gatehouse of the Qin Mansion, but just as he turned around, there was a sound of hooves at the end of the long street, Xu He paused, and hurriedly looked where the hooves came from—
"Is it coming towards us?"
The night had already fallen heavily. Although there was no moon, there were sporadic cold stars dotted in the night sky. There were occasional lights on the long street, and the shadows of those Qingqi could be seen faintly.
"It seems to be heading towards us—"
The yamen on one side agreed, Xu He's eyes lit up slightly, and those fast horses were also riding fast, but in a few seconds, they arrived in front of the Qin Mansion, Xu He saw that it was not Yan Chi.
Yan Chi came quickly with Bai Feng and the Yamen messenger who was going to pass the message. Before reaching the gate of the mansion, he reined in the reins and turned down. Seeing Xu He still waiting at the gate of the mansion, he frowned, "What's wrong? What's the matter?"
Xu He clasped his fists in salute, then raised his hand to invite, "Your Highness, enter the mansion first—"
Yan Chi threw the horsewhip to the yamen's servant, and brought Bai Feng into the gate of the mansion.
As he walked towards Xu He, he said, "It was Miss Jiu who asked you to come back. Just now Miss Jiu found out who the person who poisoned Master Qin was. Besides, Miss Jiu also knew something else. Because it has a lot to do with the case, I want you to Come back and tell me."
Upon hearing this, Yan Chi quickened his pace and headed towards the inner courtyard, "Where is she?"
"In Tinglanyuan! Oh, by the way, Nine Girls also found a portrait that is suspected to be Second Aunt, but because it was too old to open, Nine Girls have probably already opened the picture scroll—"
Yan Chi's eyes lit up slightly, he turned his footsteps, and headed straight for Ting Lan Yuan.
Xu He followed closely behind Yan Chi, and Yan Chi's steps were windy between stops, he could only trot to keep up, Xu He was running out of breath, and after a while, he arrived in front of Ting Lan Yuan.
Bai Feng went up to call the door as usual, and knocked lightly twice, but a maidservant with a round face and big eyes opened the courtyard door.
"Hey, brother guard—"
It was Wan Tao who opened the door. She recognized Bai Feng, looked at Bai Feng, and passed Bai Feng to look at Yan Chi and Xu He who were standing behind. After blinking, Bai Feng said, "His Royal Highness wants to see Nine Girls." —”
Wan Tao opened her eyes, and looked back at the dark main room, "Our lady hasn't come back yet."
Bai Feng frowned, and saw the unlit main room at a glance. If Qin Wan was in the yard, it would be impossible for the main room to be unlit. Bai Feng turned back to look at Yan Chi, who frowned tightly when he heard the conversation. wrinkle.
He turned around and looked at Xu He, "Ninth Miss didn't come back, didn't you say she came back?"
Xu He was slightly surprised for a moment, "Your Majesty and Nine Girls were separated in the front yard. At that time, Nine Girls said that it is best to tell His Royal Highness or the prefect earlier about this matter, and the villain took on the task of spreading the word and waited at the gate of the mansion. When we parted, Nine Girls did say that she was going back to Tinglan Garden, and Fu Ling was holding the scroll."
Yan Chi's eyes darkened when he heard this, and for some reason, a bad premonition filled his heart.
He took two steps forward and looked at Wan Tao, "Your lady hasn't come back, where is Fu Ling?"
Seeing Yan Chi's question, Wan Tao immediately lowered her head, not daring to look directly, and hurriedly said respectfully, "Sister Fu Ling has been serving the young lady with her. The young lady hasn't come back, and neither has Sister Fu Ling."
Yan Chi's heart sank again, he glanced at the dark and quiet courtyard, then turned around to look elsewhere in the mansion, the night had already fallen, it was getting late, where could Qin Wan go
Yan Chi walked a few steps forward, Bai Feng said to Wan Tao, "If Miss Jiu comes back later, tell her that His Highness came to look for her."
Wan Tao hurriedly responded respectfully, Bai Feng nodded and left, Wan Tao looked at Bai Feng and Yan Chi's back for a moment, and then gently closed the courtyard door.
On the other side, Xu He asked anxiously, "Could it be that Miss Nine has returned to the front yard again?"
Asking this question, Yan Chi also felt that it was possible, so he immediately headed towards the front yard, "Just now you said that Miss Jiu found the person who poisoned Qin An?"
Xu He's eyes lit up when he heard the words, "Exactly, at night, the villain collected the official documents and the letterhead and other files that His Highness brought back from Yang County a few days ago. He planned to bring them back to the government office, but His Highness said to ask Ask Nine Girls, the villain is waiting for Nine Girls at the door, and after a while, I see Nine Girls coming from the east... "
"Ninth girl said a few words to the villain, and nine girls suddenly saw something written on a piece of letter paper. It said that the second aunt's husband had an indiscriminate eye disease. I'm afraid His Highness and the prefect didn't Noticing this, Miss Nine didn't know what to think at that time, she suspected that a servant in the mansion was called Cai He..."
Hearing the word "Caihe", Yan Chi paused, "Caihe?"
Xu He nodded, "Exactly, it seems that Nine Girls discovered something before, but Nine Girls said that the disease is not certain, and then said that it is best to find the portrait, so we went to the front yard to ask about it. The two old servants asked if there was any second aunt's painting, but they saw that a little boy hadn't washed the medicine pot. Nine girls found something wrong and went to look at it. After a look, they found out that the person who poisoned was taking advantage of the little boy to clean it. I put the medicine in the medicine jar when it was in the medicine jar."
Yan Chi quickened his pace by two points, "Did Miss Nine say she wanted to arrest her immediately?"
Xu He shook his head hastily, "Never, Miss Nine was afraid of scaring the snake, and wanted to find more evidence. When we went to the front yard, the old servant took Miss Nine to another study in the front yard. Miss Nine found a painting , It seems that it has been a few years old, and it was pressed at the bottom, but the painting paper was stuck together for too long and could not be opened directly. At that time, the nine girls told the villain that she would go back and open the painting scroll, and then wait for His Royal Highness or the magistrate to come back Then go get someone."
Yan Chi's phoenix eyes are slightly narrowed, Qin Wan is naturally more considerate than others in doing things, and now that he and Huo Huaixin are not here, she has no position to take people, not to mention acting rashly, she will indeed scare the snake, she will not go to the Buddha by herself Tang, but this evening, if there were no other incidents, how could she not return to Ting Lanyuan as agreed and instead went elsewhere
The Qin Mansion is in an eventful autumn, and now it is night, when the night like a sea of ink covers the continuous pavilions of the Qin Mansion, although there are cold stars and clear lights above the sky, it can make people's hearts feel gloomy and heavy.
In any case, Qin Wan must not have an accident—
Thinking in this way, Yan Chi quickened his pace, and soon, the front yard was close at hand, and the two yamen servants were still guarding the gate of the front yard. The two were tired after guarding for a long time. It didn't come back for a while.
When Yan Chi came to the front, the two saluted one after another.
"Meet Your Royal Highness—"
Yan Chi only asked in a low voice, "Has Miss Nine come over?"
The two were taken aback, and one of them said, "Didn't Miss Jiu leave the front yard not long ago? The villain didn't see Miss Jiu come back."
Yan Chi's heart sank suddenly, he didn't want to say anything to the suspicious eyes of the Shang Yacha, turned around and headed towards the inner courtyard, Xu He hurriedly said when he saw him walking, "Where is your Highness going?"
"Go to Linfengyuan—"
Xu He blinked, and Yan Chi looked at Bai Feng again, "Go and contact her, and then ask the yamen servants everywhere in the house."
Bai Feng nodded, and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye. Xu He didn't understand Yan Chi's order, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions, and just followed Yan Chi towards Linfengyuan.
"Linfeng Courtyard is the residence of her eldest brother and sister-in-law. Her sister-in-law is pregnant, and she has to rely on her to recuperate her body."
When Yan Chi said something, Xu He immediately understood, and then he bent his lips, "That's the reason, most likely Nine Girls was invited to see a doctor on this big night, otherwise, where else would she go?"
Xu He was not in a hurry at first, but looking at Yan Chi's appearance, he felt a little uneasy for no reason. He seemed to be comforting himself and Yan Chi with his words, but after he finished speaking, he felt even more uneasy.
Yan Chi came to Linfengyuan, and arrived at the gate of Linfengyuan after half a day.
The maid at the door didn't know Yan Chi, but she felt that Yan Chi was imposing, and then thought that the investigation of the case by the Qin family was presided over by a nobleman, so she knelt down on the ground carelessly, Yan Chi asked directly, " Is Miss Nine of the House here?"
The maid hurriedly shook her head, "I'm not here, I came here in the afternoon..."
Of course Yan Chi knew that Qin Wan had come in the afternoon, and he accompanied Qin Wan in the afternoon, but if Qin Wan wasn't in Linfengyuan, where would he be
Yan Chi didn't say much, turned around and left, the servant woman was stunned before she dared to raise her head.
"His Royal Highness, did the nine girls go to the gate of the mansion? Missed us?"
Yan Chi shook his head, and suddenly slowed down, "No, the road we're taking is already a short cut."
As soon as Yan Chi's footsteps slowed down, her mind turned very quickly. Qin Wan is not a person who messes around easily. She is holding a scroll. The scroll may be the portrait of Second Aunt. She should open the scroll at the first time. But why did she not go back to the yard? Thinking of this, Yan Chi turned his eyes and glanced around. Although the night was dark, there were guards from the government office in the Qin mansion, and Fu Ling was following her, so it didn't make sense that she would be taken away for nothing...
Yan Chi's face was gloomy, but the more anxious he became, the more calm and rational his thoughts became.
Suddenly, Yan Chi frowned. Qin Wan took the picture scroll to find out the most critical part of the case. The reason why she could leave must be related to the clues of the case. Her most urgent task is to find the portrait of Second Aunt. She opened the picture scroll halfway and found that it wasn't, and then went to another place to look for it
Yan Chi felt that this idea was very possible, so he walked in the direction of Tinglan Garden. After walking for another quarter of an hour, Bai Feng suddenly came over from the east, "Master, I haven't been in touch. The mission was withdrawn, and I asked other people, and they all said that they didn't see Nine Girls—"
"Not in Tinglan Court?!"
Yan Chi asked with dark eyes, Bai Feng nodded, "Not here."
Yan Chi's brows were furrowed together immediately. If even his most secret arrangement is useless at this moment, then maybe Qin Wan didn't leave by himself...
As soon as this idea came out, Yan Chi suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
"Your Highness, where will Miss Nine go?" Xu He was also startled by Bai Feng's words, breaking out in cold sweat.
Yan Chi's eyes were dark, and he was about to speak, when he suddenly saw a star rising slowly towards the east of the Qin Mansion, Yan Chi's eyes turned dark, and Bai Feng also let out a low voice, "Your Highness—"
…
…
Watching the door close, a chill came up from Qin Wan's feet.
Qin Chen stood at the door with a stern expression, and approached Qin Wan step by step. Qin Wan took a step back, but behind him was the high cabinet full of scrolls. She had no choice but to calm down.
"Brother, what are you doing..."
Qin Chen's warm eyes did not show any warmth. At this moment, he looked at Qin Wan coldly, as if looking at a dead object.
"Ninth younger sister hasn't answered me yet, why go to the concierge to ask?"
Qin Wan frowned, and glanced at Fu Ling lying on the ground with a pale complexion. He couldn't help but ask first, "What did brother do to Fu Ling? What is brother doing here? Did brother bring me here on purpose tonight?" "
Qin Chen stopped at a distance of five or six steps from Qin Guan. The location of the storehouse was remote, not to mention that the office servants in the mansion were transferred out, and Huo Huaixin and Yan Chi were not there, so he still had plenty of time.
"Ninth sister remembers that night?"
Qin Wan's heart tightened, but she didn't show it on her face, she just looked at Qin Chen in surprise, "What are you talking about? What night is your brother talking about?"
Qin Chen narrowed his eyes, and a serious expression appeared on his elegant face, "Why should my younger sister pretend to be stupid? Didn't my younger sister remember what happened the night she fell into the lake?"
Qin Wan blinked her eyes, "I fell into the water by myself that night, what does brother mean by asking that?"
Qin Chen raised his hand, slenderly brushed the landscape screen next to him, and then straightened his clothes slowly, "Since the ninth sister thinks so, why do you go to the porter to ask? I want to ask if I left the Qin mansion that night. Yeah?"
Looking at Qin Chen's appearance, Qin Wan knew that Qin Chen had made up his mind to have a showdown with her, and this meant that he had murdered her. Qin Wan subconsciously clenched his cuffs tightly, and the cold moon in his sleeves Her palm hurt.
"Brother, how do you know?" Qin Wan knew that he couldn't pretend anymore. Qin Chen knocked Fu Ling unconscious. Since he started to strike, he would not think of stopping. The dangerous atmosphere approached Qin Wan. Qin Wan secretly sighed for being careless for a moment. .
There were twenty steps from her to the door, but Qin Chen stood in the way, so she couldn't escape at all.
Qin Chen listened to Qin Wan's words, and sighed softly, "Why did the ninth sister remember?"
There was deep melancholy in his tone, as if Qin Wan had ruined a very beautiful thing, "It would be great if Jiumei really couldn't remember anything."
Qin Wan lowered his eyes for a moment, his face showed a look of fear, "I... I just think of Zizhu Forest..."
The corners of Qin Chen's lips curved slightly, "No wonder... no wonder you always run east."
Qin Wan looked straight at Qin Chen, and after a while, his eyes showed pain and said, "So... so that night, the person I met was you?"
Seeing that Qin Wan was shocked and sad, Qin Chen was relieved, "It's me."
Qin Wan's heart trembled slightly when the word Qin Chen was settled. He admitted it. Before she actually asked the concierge, Qin Chen admitted it! It was him that night, he killed Miss Jiu, and the other person, there was no one else except Caihe!
Qin Wan has been thinking about why Miss Jiu was killed. After much deliberation, she guessed that Miss Jiu broke something that aroused other people's murderous intentions. She had suspected Liu Chun and Liu Shi before, but now, it was really Qin Chen. .
Qin Chen, the proud son of the Qin family, this young master with a gentle and elegant appearance, could actually kill someone for picking a lotus, Qin Wan looked at Qin Chen with a wry smile, "How can big brother come down?" Is this cruel?"
Qin Wan's face was full of pain and disappointment, as if he couldn't accept that Qin Chen had harmed him, and Qin Chen also sighed a little, "I pity you for being lonely, but you just followed me into the purple bamboo forest, Ninth Sister, you can't blame me .”
Qin Wan subconsciously leaned back a little bit, looking more and more weak and frightened, "Second brother likes picking lotus so much?"
When these words came out, Qin Chen was slightly stunned for a moment, but soon, his expression returned to calm indifference, "You don't understand these things, but you know what you shouldn't know, Ninth Sister, don't blame Big Brother."
As he was speaking, Qin Chen suddenly walked forward slowly. Qin Wan's heart skipped a beat, and the scroll in his hand fell to the ground with a "snap". The scroll fell to the ground, and the rolled scroll rolled along the ground. Immediately, it was opened, and when it was opened, a young woman in green clothes suddenly appeared on the drawing paper. The woman was in her twenties, with picturesque features, clear eyes, delicate features, black hair like clouds, and her green clothes were elegant Standing in the middle of the lake, like a lotus fairy coming out of the water, although the person is quiet, the painter has extraordinary skills, and the hair blown by the wind is like a cloud, as if it can move. Anyone who sees it will be frightened by it.
Qin Wan held his breath, the female temperament in the painting was clear and clear, but the pair of beautiful eyes were very familiar, and the contours of the facial features and cheeks were faintly familiar, Qin Wan's eyes widened slightly... Cai He... really is another picking lotus...
The second aunt is dressed in a thin blouse, and her eyebrows are clear but still elegant. In contrast, Caihe may be used to being a servant with low eyebrows and pleasing to the eye, and her dress is also very simple, so the temperament is inferior to the second aunt. There are many, but looking at the eyebrows and eyes of the woman in the painting, it is not difficult to imagine that Caihe will become more and more beautiful in a few years.
Caihe... Is Caihe really the second aunt's daughter? !
In the fire that year, the daughter of the second aunt's family did not die? !
Qin Wan's heart was full of shock, and when she turned her eyes, Qin Chen walked up to her. Qin Wan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly pointed to the scroll on the ground, "Brother... look... you must have seen Second Aunt before, this portrait Is it the second aunt? But elder brother, take a closer look, isn’t the person in this portrait very similar to someone who lives in the mansion?"
Qin Wan's tone was urgent, but Qin Chen didn't seem to want to say more to her. He took another step closer and stepped on the scroll mercilessly. Seeing that he ignored him, Qin Wan hurriedly said, "Brother, it's Caihe Ah! Caihe is the second aunt's daughter! Look—"
When he said this, Qin Chen's eyes flickered, and seeing that he listened, Qin Wan continued, "Brother, wake up, picking lotus into the mansion has another purpose, the death of Liu Chun and Liu's is very likely to be related to her Related, even... even the elder brother, are all pawns she uses, and the sister-in-law's anti-abortion medicine has been drugged by others, and it is made of lotus... "
Qin Chen's eyes flickered, "What is Jiumei saying? At this moment, Jiumei still wants to say these things to influence me?"
As he spoke, Qin Chen's fists clenched. Seeing him gradually becoming aggressive, Qin Wan really had no intention of fighting him, so he hurriedly pointed at the scroll, "I didn't lie to elder brother, elder brother, take a look at this portrait." What happened to Second Aunt was so tragic back then, how could Cai He really love Eldest Brother? She was using Eldest Brother—”
"you shut up-"
Two steps away from Qin Wan, Qin Chen let out a soft shout, and suddenly his figure rose violently. The clenched fists around him suddenly came towards Qin Wan, turned into claws, and grabbed Qin Wan's neck.
Qin Wan only felt a pain in his neck, and in the next moment, his body was firmly nailed to the high cabinet by Qin Chen. Qin Chen's finger movements made Qin Wan's eyes darken in pain. Miss Nine's fear in the middle of the night on the 21st of the month was a kind of fear of confronting the murderer head-on, and her life was firmly in his hands.
Cold sweat overflowed from Qin Wan's forehead. Qin Wan struggled, holding Qin Chen's hand with both hands, "Ahem...why... did I lie to elder brother... Liu's... Liu Chun...'s death... is... for... bringing back the past..."
Qin Wan had a sharp pain in his throat, and his face turned red from being suppressed, but he was still struggling to speak. As his eyes met, the murderous intent in Qin Chen's eyes was replaced by hesitation, and his eyes looked from top to bottom to the scroll on the ground. look up.
At the same time, Qin Chen's hand was slightly loosened, and Qin Wan felt sure, and continued to say, "She... came... for revenge... Big Brother... was cheated by her..."
Qin Chen's brows were suddenly frowned tightly. While pinching Qin Wan, he stared at the picture scroll on the ground. He fell into extreme shock and struggle. At this moment, Qin Wan clutched his sleeve The cold moon in the middle suddenly stabbed towards Qin Chen's wrist...
Qin Chen is tall, with long arms and legs, and not weak in strength. With one hand pinching Qin Wan, Qin Wan has no strength to struggle. He is concentrating on looking at the portrait, trying to distinguish whether Qin Wan's words are true or false in his mind. , he never expected that Qin Wan, who had been showing weakness and struggling, would attack him. With a "stab", his robe would be cut, and there was a heart-rending pain on his wrist. In an instant, Qin Chen His right hand went numb and soft, and he retracted subconsciously. In just a moment, Qin Wan slipped out like a fish. Qin Chen wanted to grab his injured hand, but he couldn't use his strength. Let Qin Wan move towards the door. run away.
Although one hand was injured, how could Qin Chen stop after moving his hand? Seeing Qin Wan running towards the door, Qin Chen grabbed the painting scroll with his uninjured hand and threw it at Qin Wan. Qin Wan's half body was strangled earlier. Losing strength, she was hit on the bend of her leg unexpectedly, and she immediately fell forward. With a "bang", Qin Wan's knees were in severe pain, and what was even more frightening was that Han Yue slipped out of her hands.
Qin Wan immediately got up. However, her skirt was complicated and her knees were in severe pain. The speed of getting up was not as fast as expected. At this very moment, a hand grabbed her ankle and threw her violently. After dragging back, Qin Wan was caught off guard and fell to the ground again, while Qin Chen jumped forward with one step. When Qin Wan raised his eyes again, Han Yue was held in his hands.
"Ninth sister, you actually carry such a sharp knife with you?"
Qin Chen's right hand was bleeding, and the blood spattered on his blue brocade robe, which became a deep black for a while. He held Hanyue in his left hand, and his right hand was hanging weakly. There was a sarcasm on his lips, and his eyes He stared at Qin Wan all the time.
"Ninth younger sister that night could only cry, but this time is different."
It was used to pretend to be stupid, and it was used to show weakness. Facing Qin Chen, who was several times stronger than himself and still holding a sharp blade, Qin Wan's heart sank secretly, but his face calmed down for a moment. Qin Chen continued to stare at her, suddenly Squinting his eyes, he seemed a little puzzled, "Ninth younger sister was clearly dead that night, and I kept guarding the corpse for so long, and then the body sank into the lake, and even if she didn't die, she would be drowned, but later, ninth younger sister died. And resurrected..."
Qin Chen tightly held the Hanyue in his hands, and then slowly walked up to Qin Wan who was still on the ground, and slowly landed Hanyue on Qin Wan's neck. Qin Wan's counterattack was futile, and now she was done counterattacking , and even lost his best weapon, Qin Chen felt that Qin Wan could no longer use any tricks, so he was not in a hurry to kill Qin Wan.
"Ninth sister? You have changed too much..."
The dagger was on Qin Wan's neck, but she just lowered her eyes slightly, she didn't cry or cry, and she didn't even tremble. Apart from her tight breathing, Qin Wan's calmness was beyond Qin Chen's expectations.
He looked deeply at Qin Wan, and expressed his doubts for so long as if no one else was around.
"If you are injured and lose your memory, there will be no major change in temperament. Sometimes, I even feel that you are not the former Ninth Sister. You used to be weak and deceitful, and people disgusted you when you looked at it. Now you are different. Knowing the superb medical skills, you have such a calm and calm temperament, Jiumei, who are you?"
Qin Wan's heart skipped a beat, but her tone was calm, "What do you think, brother?"
Qin Wan didn't look into Qin Chen's eyes, but answered like this, she wanted to arouse Qin Chen's interest to delay the time, but she couldn't figure out what's the use of delaying time, but she still had a faint feeling in her heart. With one thought and one hope.
Qin Chen narrowed his eyes, "You really are not Jiumei—"
Perhaps because there is no need to hide it anymore, Qin Chen's words were full of crazy paranoia. He stared at Qin Wan, forgetting that killing her is the most important thing, and continued, "Aren't you the ninth sister? Then who are you?" !"
This was indeed a shocking and incomprehensible thing, Qin Chen pushed the dagger two points closer, "Who are you?!"
Qin Wan raised her head and looked at Qin Chen with eyes as clear as streams. She was really not afraid. If Qin Chen stabbed the dagger into her neck, she would just treat these days as a dream. She was the one who deserved to die. Qin Wan didn't have any regrets except that she couldn't help her father to get justice after living so long with Miss Jiu's body.
Looking at each other, Qin Chen was intimidated by the coldness in Qin Wan's eyes. For a moment, he suddenly felt that he didn't know the person with the same face in front of him, and he didn't hide anymore, so did Qin Wan. Her eyes seemed to be watching A strange murderer spoke in a cold and scary tone, "Brother, can he escape if he kills me today? Cai He wants the Qin Mansion to be destroyed. Brother is a member of the Qin Mansion, so how can he escape? She did everything one by one, she won't kill you, she just needs to destroy you."
Qin Chen's hands trembled, and the sharp knife tip pierced Qin Wan's skin immediately. A blush overflowed from her neck, like a red plum blossoming into snow. Qin Chen heard Qin Wan If the Ninth Sister in front of him is still the Ninth Sister, then she would laugh at his words as whimsical, but she didn't, her demeanor and tone took off her usual soft and warm disguise, At this moment, it's like a stranger at all.
Qin Chen seemed to have been stabbed by Qin Wan's clear eyes. He suddenly felt that the Ninth Sister in front of him was not the real Ninth Sister, compared to picking lotus and entering the Qin Mansion for revenge. After a while, almost piercing Qin Wan's neck again, he asked in a dark voice, "Who are you, who are you... You are not Jiumei, why did you become Jiumei?!"
The corners of Qin Wan's lips curled up, his smile was slightly cold, and he sighed a little.
This dream was really long, not only long, but also thrilling. She actually inherited her father's behest, and really started the business of prosecuting cases, but I don't know if she can still see her parents now that she is under the Nine Springs
Qin Wan still fell to the ground, her knees and elbows were hurt, she sat up slowly with one hand on the ground, her gaze was a little light and she looked at the window behind her. In this ocean of ups and downs, if he dies like this, he will not be indebted or owed to anyone. Thinking of this, Qin Wan glanced back at Fu Ling who was lying at the door.
There was a flash of distress in his eyes, and Qin Wan understood that if she died, Qin Chen probably would not leave Fu Ling behind.
Qin Wan's heart was slightly sour. If he said he owed it, he owed Fu Ling——
"Say it or not—" Qin Chen looked at Qin Wan's exceptionally calm face and suddenly became anxious. The calmer Qin Guan became, the more flustered he became. This man who came back from the dead, this man with superb medical skills, where did he come from? ? What is the purpose
The unknown made Qin Chen feel terrified, and he suddenly felt a sudden panic, "If you don't tell me, don't blame me!"
As he said that, Qin Chen gritted his teeth, "No matter who you are, if you know what you shouldn't know, there is only one dead—"
Saying this, Qin Chen held Hanyue and swung—
Qin Wan suddenly closed her eyes. She could almost imagine that Qin Chen's gesture would cause Hanyue to cut across her. Her trachea and the blood vessels on the side of her neck would be cut off, and the sharpness of Hanyue would cut off her neck bone. It's all possible. As for the cause of her death, it was either suffocation or excessive blood loss... I don't know if there have been too many autopsies recently, but she even determined the cause of death for herself.
Thinking of this, a shadow suddenly flashed in Qin Wan's mind—
In the blink of an eye, that's all Qin Wan could think of, but just when the cold moon was about to cut into her neck, a low piercing sound suddenly sounded out of nowhere, followed by a muffled groan, followed by a "bang", it was What fell on the ground, and then, a gust of wind suddenly swept into the room with lightning speed, Qin Wan opened his eyes subconsciously, only felt a shadow flashing in front of him, and the next moment he was pulled up from the ground, and a generous embrace wrapped him around She grabbed her, and when she stood still, Qin Chen stood seven or eight steps away, the cold moon in his hand fell to the ground, and she was half-supported and stood in the direction of the door...
Qin Wan turned her head, Yan Chi's phoenix eyes were dark as far as she could see, but the gleam in her eyes shone like a cold star on a winter night.
Yan Chi...
Qin Wan looked into Yan Chi's eyes, and was stunned as if he didn't realize it for a moment.
Yan Chi held Qin Wan's waist tightly, and his eyes fell on Qin Chen, who was also a little unresponsive. The moment Qin Chen saw Yan Chi, his complexion turned pale. He looked down at his empty palm, and his lips The corner hooked a bit bitterly, and when he raised his eyes, the unwillingness in his eyes could not be concealed...
"The eldest young master killed people with my knife, and he didn't seem to have asked my opinion." Yan Chi's voice was cold, and there was a cool breeze while speaking. It was clearly autumn, but it seemed that it was the middle of winter in Lajiu.
Qin Chen lowered his eyes, glanced at Hanyue, and behind him, a laurel branch with golden stamens pierced into the wooden door of the high cabinet, Qin Chen smiled wryly, "It turned out to be His Royal Highness's knife—"
As he said that, Qin Chen looked at Qin Wan who was standing in Yan Chi's arms, his eyes were very mixed, but still mixed with doubts.
There was a sneer on the corner of Yan Chi's lips, "The Qin Mansion has suffered a complete defeat and the building is about to collapse. The Eldest Young Master doesn't want to clean up the mess, but kills his own sister here. Could it be that the Ninth Girl has discovered some secret that is related to the Eldest Young Master?"
While talking, Yan Chi saw the picture scroll behind Qin Chen's feet, he turned to look at Qin Wan, Qin Wan said, "Caihe...it should be the daughter of Second Auntie, maybe she ordered Qin An to be poisoned."
As he said that, Qin Wan looked at Qin Chen again, "He has an affair with Caihe... The painting we saw in the library that day, the person on it was Caihe..."
Yan Chi's eyes became a bit dazed, and when he lowered his eyes, Yan Chi's eyes suddenly changed slightly. Just now, he rushed in too fast, and he didn't even see the blood on Qin Wan's neck, "You are injured."
Qin Wan raised his hand and touched the side of his neck, and was about to say it's okay, when Yan Chi said, "Come here—"
Once the words were settled, Bai Feng came in from the outside immediately, Yan Chi didn't even look at Qin Chen, "Take him out! Detain him in the front yard and wait for his punishment!"
Bai Feng responded, and immediately walked to Qin Chen's side. At this point, Qin Chen knew that he had no room to resist. He smiled bitterly, dragged his injured hand, and walked outside in a bit of desperation.
"Your Highness, don't be nervous, I'm fine—"
Qin Wan took out the handkerchief from his cuff and wiped the injured area himself. Yan Chi looked at Qin Wan with a serious expression for a while, before he could speak, Qin Chen who walked up to the two of them suddenly looked at Qin Wan and said, "What the hell are you doing?" who is it?"
As soon as these words came out, Yan Chi turned his eyes, but saw that Qin Chen's face became crazy, and he looked at Qin Wan unwillingly as he walked out, "Nine sisters have been killed by me a long time ago, who are you... you You lied to us by pretending to be the ninth younger sister...you are not her!"
Qin Wan wiped his neck while looking at Qin Chen, and said calmly, "Brother is crazy—"
Bai Feng pushed Qin Chen, Qin Chen staggered out of the door, Qin Wan pressed the wound with a handkerchief, glanced at Yan Chi, then turned to look at Fu Ling on the ground, there was a small bump on the back of Fu Ling's head, Breathing was still steady, Qin Wan explored a few times and his heart relaxed slightly, but Yan Chi came up behind her, "How is it?"
"It's okay, it's just that I was knocked out, and it will be fine after a while."
"I'm asking you." Yan Chi's tone was somewhat dissatisfied.
Qin Wan regained his composure, and then turned around, "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving me, I'm fine with a little scratch."
Yan Chi was looking at Qin Wan with a complicated expression, and was about to speak, but Xu He ran over out of breath, "What's going on! Why is it the young master of the Qin family... Ah, Miss Nine is here, Nine How did the girl get hurt..."
Xu He was surprised for a while, and saw Fu Ling again, "God, what's wrong with Miss Fu Ling!"
Yan Chi looked at Qin Wan, but said to Xu He, "Xu Wuzuo, send Poria back."
Xu He froze for a moment, nodded hurriedly, went forward again, leaned over and hugged Fu Ling, Qin Wan looked at it, then went to pick up Han Yue who fell on the ground, and from the beginning to the end, Yan Chi's eyes kept falling on her body .
"You go back too, don't be careless even if it's a minor injury."
Two moments later, Yan Chi gave the order, Qin Wan responded, Xu He walked out first with Fuling in his arms, and said as he walked, "Fortunately, Ninth Miss is fine, why did Ninth Miss come here? Also, Eldest Young Master... "
Xu He talked while walking, and several people walked towards Tinglan Garden along the way they came from, but after walking a few more steps, they saw a figure walking in front of them not far away, and Xu He softly shouted, "Yes!" who-"
This drink scared the figure in front of him to a halt. When the man turned around, Qin Wan was surprised to find that it was Mo Shu.
Mo Shu also saw Qin Wan at a glance, and hurried over to salute. She first saw the fainted Fu Ling, then glanced at the blood on Qin Wan's neck, and said in surprise, "Miss Nine, this is...Fu Ling..."
Qin Wan couldn't say a word, "It's nothing, why are you here?"
After asking this question, Mo Shu said helplessly, "I don't know why, tonight the old lady wants the young lady to go over and talk with her, and the servant sent the young lady there, but the old lady asked the young lady to come back and let the young lady stay."
Qin Wan's eyes changed slightly, "The old lady asked your lady to come and talk? What did the old lady tell you?"
Mo Shu himself was also a little puzzled, "It was a little girl who came to pass the message. We only saw sister Caihe in the past..."
Qin Wan thought it was strange that Mrs. Jiang asked Yao Xinlan to go to the Buddhist hall so late, but when she heard this, she immediately felt bad, "I only saw Caihe?! Caihe is the second... Your lady is in danger—"
Qin Wan was in a hurry and didn't know where to start. At the end, he only said the last sentence affirmatively. When Mo Shu heard this, his face turned pale, "What? How could there be danger? The servants came back after they were delivered to the door..."
Qin Wan didn't want to explain so much, she grabbed Mo Shu and was about to go to the Buddhist hall, but when she turned around, Qin Wan froze for the moment.
Under the dark night sky, in the direction of the Buddhist hall where Mrs. Jiang lived, at this moment, there was a flash of bright fire accompanied by black smoke that lit half of the sky red...
