Qin Wan looked at Yue Ning dumbfounded, "What did the princess say..."
Yue Ning frowned, "Then why do you have the intention of protecting him? You have witnessed this incident, don't you think that the person who came to scare you has something to do with the murderer even if he is not the murderer? He is the only left-handed person in the entire Hou Mansion." What's more, when you did the autopsy for your second brother that day, he was watching from the sidelines, I'm afraid he knew your autopsy ability, so he threatened you."
Qin Wan exhaled, but there were old scars on Yan Chi's body floating in front of his eyes. Even though many clues pointed to him, Qin Wan did not want to doubt him from the bottom of his heart for a person who was covered in wounds for fighting in the battlefield. She collected herself and forced herself to calm down, regardless of whether it was Yan Chi's injury or Yue Ning's angry tone, she had to put it aside.
"Princess, the clues are still very single at the moment."
Qin Wan's voice was calm and inexplicably convincing.
"Master Zhifu sent people to interrogate other people in the mansion, Song Rou's maidservant, mother-in-law, and guards, and Lord Zhifu also sent people to Shili Temple, the princess can wait a moment, Lord Zhifu may have some new news, It’s not too late to mention it when the time comes.”
As he was talking, Qin Wan thought of another point. It was Yan Chi who took the initiative to help the Hou Mansion find out the news about the Guogong Mansion in the capital. If Yan Chi was really the murderer, he would kill Song Rou on the way and rush to the Hou Mansion first. , witnessed Song Rou's death with everyone, and then coldly intervened in the progress of the case as a bystander...
Qin Wan felt a chill down his back, "His Royal Highness Chi came down with hundreds of soldiers and horses, and he will not run away quietly." Qin Wan's eyes turned, "Five days, we can wait for five days at most. .”
Seeing Qin Wan's sincere expression, Yue Ning calmed down two points of anger, but stared at him and said, "Like me, you don't know much about His Highness Chi, and even I have a close relationship with him. But why do you trust him more than me?"
Qin Wan was at a loss for words, Yue Ning's words were not unreasonable, she thought for a moment, and decided to confess, "His Royal Highness Chi was injured last time, when I went to treat him, I saw many old injuries on his body, and those injuries were far away quickly. Ten years, within the past six months, most of them were stab wounds, if I guessed correctly, they should have been cut by military sabers, and I felt a little sad at that time."
Yue Ning also fell silent when she heard that, Yan Chi was about the same age as Yue Jia, but she had already been on the battlefield for twelve years, so it's fine to tell others, telling her is more convincing than any reason.
They have been in the army for generations in the Marquis of Anyang, and if she can let a woman enter the barracks, she even wants to go to the battlefield to see, although she has no chance to go to the battlefield, but to her, her father and the eldest and second brothers who will definitely join the army in the future are hers He is an extremely revered existence, so the suspicion of Yan Chi is a bit against the law.
Yue Ning was silent for a moment, "It turns out that's the case. I don't know if you don't tell me. I only know that he is very famous in the west. Considering his status as the eldest son, it is quite arrogant to regard him as the leader of the army."
Yue Ning exhaled, "Wait for five days and wait for five days. If it has nothing to do with him, I will apologize to him. If it has something to do with it, hmph, it doesn't matter that he is the son of Prince Rui."
Qin Wan smiled slyly, "Even if it's irrelevant, the Princess doesn't need to make amends. Anyway, His Highness Chi doesn't know that we are suspicious of him."
Yue Ning bent her lips, "That's true..."
As soon as the words fell, Yue Ning suddenly raised her eyes to look behind Qin Wan, "Mr. Wei."
Qin Wan turned around, and saw Wei Yanzhi walking over at a glance. He hadn't seen him for a few days. Wei Yanzhi's spirit was lifted a lot. He was dressed in a blue robe, and he looked like a jade tree facing the wind. Seeing that it was Yue Ning and Qin Wan, Wei Yanzhi hurriedly cupped his hands, "Princess, Nine Girls..."
Yue Ning smiled, "Where is this going?"
Wei Yanzhi bent his lips with a warm and polite expression, "Is the magistrate still in the front yard? Just now the magistrate said that all the guards will be interrogated again. Those who were not here just now have come. We just wait for the arresters to pass."
Yue Ning nodded, "I'm still there, but I'm asking the servants of the Marquis Mansion, Mr. Wei, don't worry."
Wei Yanzhi nodded, then turned to look at Qin Wan and said, "Ninth girl is here to see a doctor for Princess Taichang?"
"Yes, the Taichang Princess needs to take good care of her body."
Wei Yanzhi sighed, "Girl Nine has such medical skills at such a young age, it's really amazing, I'm grateful."
Qin Wan bent her lips, "Don't dare, Jinzhou is a small place, if it were placed in the capital, Qin Wan's medical skills would be very ordinary."
Wei Yanzhi sighed, "After all, there is no doctor who can bring people back to life..."
Qin Wan and Yue Ning looked at each other, knowing that he was thinking about the dead Song Rou, Qin Wan's eyes flickered slightly, and then said, "My condolences, Mr. Wei, Miss Song has been gone for many days, this is a tragedy, It's not your fault, you don't have to worry too much and blame yourself." After a slight pause, Qin Wan said again, "Mr. Wei must have had a very good relationship with Miss Song in the past."
Wei Yanzhi smiled wryly, and glanced at Yue Ning, "After all, she is my cousin, although... In short, I can't absolve myself of the blame for what happened this time. Xiaorou is still so young, and it's because I didn't protect her well. If... If the person who came to marry me was the eldest brother, I am afraid that such troubles would not have happened..."
Qin Wan sighed, and the tone became real, "The murderer wants to harm people, so it is impossible to guard against it. Mr. Wei, don't blame yourself. The magistrate is currently investigating, and I believe there will be an answer soon. When the truth comes out, the murderer can be caught. Miss Izumi is quite relieved to know."
Wei Yanzhi had a bit of bitterness on his face, "How long will it take for the magistrate to find out... It's been seven days, and Xiao Rou doesn't know what she's like in Yizhuang. Just now I asked, the magistrate has no famous words, I'm afraid it's far away..."
"Young Master Wei, don't worry, everything is fine for Ms. Song. The magistrate handles a lot of cases. Give him some time to find the murderer..."
After Qin Wan finished speaking, Wei Yanzhi only looked at her in surprise, "Miss Jiu went to Yizhuang?"
Qin Wan's heart tightened, and she shook her head without moving, "That's not true. Just now at Princess Taichang's place, the magistrate said that he just went to Yizhuang yesterday, and he will not neglect Miss Song's side."
Wei Yanzhi's eyes were filled with grief again, "I really want to go to Yizhuang, but the magistrate said that it's best not to go for the relatives of the Song family, and now I just wait for someone from the Duke's mansion to make decisions for Xiaorou. I'm an outsider after all."
As she spoke, her voice had dropped, and Yue Ning said briskly, "Mr. Wei, don't think too much about it. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this matter has nothing to do with you. People from the Duke's Mansion won't be here for a while. Song's The guards and servants still depend on you to control them.”
Wei Yanzhi smiled wryly, "It's natural."
As he spoke, he glanced at the direction of the front yard, "I'll go and report to the magistrate."
Yue Ning nodded, Wei Yanzhi cupped his hands towards the two and walked towards the front yard.
Watching Wei Yanzhi walk away, Yue Ning said, "What? You still don't believe him?"
Qin Wan squinted her eyes and said jokingly, "It's not that I don't believe it, but if I have to doubt His Highness Chi and Mr. Wei, I'd rather doubt Mr. Wei..."
Yue Ning raised her eyebrows, looking at Qin Wan with thoughtful eyes.
…
…
Qin Wan was still thinking about Yan Chi's writing with his left hand even after returning to the Qin Mansion.
Fu Ling walked and said, "It turns out that Miss's ointment is for His Highness Chi, but this servant thought it was for Princess Taichang."
"Is there any difference?"
Qin Wan didn't notice the deep meaning of Fu Ling's words.
Fu Ling said urgently, "It's right to make medicine for the Taichang Princess, but His Highness Chi is a man."
Qin Wan's mind was pulled back, "What's wrong with the man?"
Fu Ling smiled wryly, "Miss is all focused on making medicine, so you didn't realize that the Second Young Master of the Hou's Mansion is very enthusiastic about you? Enthusiasm is fine, the servant girl's eyes are shining when he looks at you."
Qin Wan frowned slightly, "So what?"
Fu Ling sighed, and the old god said, "The servants have already done it for the young lady. The young lady is helpless now. It may be difficult to go to Prince Rui's son, not to mention how troublesome the Prince's mansion is, young lady. Even entering the mansion is very difficult, it is better to go to the Hou's mansion, the status of the Hou's mansion is not low, and the family is also rich and noble, the maidservant sees that both Princess Taichang and Mrs. Hou Ye like you, and will definitely treat you sincerely, and the second son is warm-hearted Lively, and it's very interesting to be with him, not being a concubine, and not having to work hard as a family, it's really good, and the most important point, the second son, if he likes you, he will value you, and the most important thing is The most important point is that the Marquis Manor has no rules about taking concubines—"
The more Fuling talked, the more excited she became. She almost felt that she had already thought out the best way out for Qin Wan. Qin Wan listened quietly, and she nodded, "You are right, these benefits are not available in other families."
Fu Ling's eyes brightened, "So Miss understands the meaning of this servant?"
Qin Wan nodded, "You are saying that the second son of the Hou family is an excellent husband-in-law."
Fu Ling kept nodding her head, and Qin Wan said, "Yes, the Second Young Master is very good. I don't know who will marry the Second Young Master in the future. He must be very lucky..."
Fu Ling was taken aback, "Miss, this servant is talking about you!"
Qin Wan said "Oh", Fu Ling was in a hurry, but Qin Wan sighed again, "Don't think about it, your miss is not in Jinzhou, even if you want to marry, you have to go to the capital, right..."
Fuling took a breath, and looked at Qin Wan walking towards Linfengyuan in a little surprise. She hoped that her young lady would be more ambitious and not ask for anything like she used to be, but is the change too big now?
"Miss... Second Young Master may also return to the capital in the future!"
Qin Wan paused, and felt that it was necessary to explain this problem to Fu Ling, so he said, "The princess Taichang and his wife like it because they are grateful, but if I rely on other people's gratitude to enter the house, it will not be beautiful, let alone your family now The young lady has no intention of talking about marriage yet, and since then you have gone to the Hou's mansion, no matter what the second young master says or does, you must remain calm."
Fu Ling looked stunned, "It turns out that Miss has a feeling. The servant thought that Miss didn't know anything. What does Miss mean by this? Are we going to pretend to be stupid from now on?"
It was getting late, and the layers of yellow clouds piled up in the sky, just like the dead leaves in the autumn, Qin Wan took a deep breath, "Of course not, although the second son is warm to me, he doesn't care about me." What to express, let’s wait and see for a few days, if it’s true, you have to think of a way.”
Fu Ling still wanted to make a final struggle, "Miss, don't you think the second son of the Hou family is really nice?"
Qin Wan shook her head, "No matter how nice a person is, this is not the time for children to love each other."
Fu Ling smiled wryly, "Then when will it be? Second Young Master is such a good candidate, if he misses it, he might not be there."
The corners of Qin Wan's lips were slightly pursed. She didn't know when it was time for her children to love each other. Perhaps, she would never have it in her life. "The matter of love between children and marriage depends on fate. In short, , you remember my order."
Fu Ling suddenly felt that Qin Wan's calm voice had added a bit of sternness, her heart shuddered, and she hurriedly responded.
Qin Wan came to Linfeng Courtyard according to the instructions given in Mo Shu. Just as he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he met Qin Chen who was striding out. His face was cold and angry, and his footsteps were windy, as if he was being rushed by someone!
Qin Chen walked in a hurry and almost bumped into Qin Wan. He paused before asking, "Ninth sister is back?"
Qin Wan nodded and glanced at the main room, "What's wrong, big brother?"
Qin Chen took a deep breath, and suppressed the anger on his face, "It's nothing, I was going to the outer study, there was news from the capital, it's important, I have to discuss something with my father, your sister-in-law is inside, Go see her."
Qin Wan nodded, and Qin Chen immediately strode away from Linfeng Courtyard.
Qin Wan was stunned for a moment, and Fu Ling let out a deep breath, "Is the eldest young master angry? Oh my god, it's really frightening for a person who is always kind and smiling to be angry!"
Qin Wan didn't say much, and went directly to the main room. As soon as he reached the door, Mo Shu came out and saw Qin Wan busy, "I knew it was Nine Girls, come in quickly..."
Qin Wan nodded, and Fu Ling followed into the room, bypassing a screen, and Qin Wan went directly to the inner room. As soon as she entered, she saw Yao Xinlan's reddish eyes. When she saw Qin Wan coming, she wiped the corners of her eyes and looked eagerly Qin Wan stretched out his hand.
Qin Wan walked over and saw everything, so she had to ask, "What's wrong with sister-in-law? My sister-in-law is not recovering, so don't cry, it will affect the child..."
When Yao Xinlan heard Qin Wan's concern, tears rolled down again, and they fell more and more. She wiped her face again, looked at Qin Wan's clear eyes and sighed, "Ninth sister, I haven't tasted tears yet. Taste it..."
Qin Wan was a little puzzled, but Yao Xinlan smiled, "I just hope that Ninth Sister will never know the taste of tears. Once she knows, it will be the beginning of sadness and suffering."
After finishing speaking, seeing that Qin Wan didn't seem to understand, Yao Xinlan choked up again and said, "Forget it, I'd rather Jiumei meet the person she loves, but if she does, she will always cry, right?"
Qin Wan was confused by Yao Xinlan's words, so he simply said, "I'll check my sister-in-law's pulse."
As she said that, when she really asked for her pulse, Yao Xinlan looked at her and smiled, and her tears gradually stopped, "I really envy Ninth Sister, who is still free and has superb medical skills."
Qin Wan seemed to understand this time, and lowered her eyes, "I'm so envious, I'm just alone."
Yao Xinlan shook her head, "Sometimes, it's better to be alone. You don't have anything. If he likes you, he really likes you. Otherwise, you don't even know why he loves you. Ninth Sister, don't give up your sincerity easily. Even if you lose your sincerity one day, you have to leave yourself a way out."
Yao Xinlan's words were so clear that Qin Wan couldn't understand, it was nothing more than a quarrel between the husband and wife.
"Guan'er will remember these words, sister-in-law, don't worry too much."
The corners of Yao Xinlan's eyes were wet and red, but there was a vague smile on her face. She was lost in thought, not knowing what she was thinking. Qin Wan frowned slightly, but Yao Xinlan turned to look at her again, "It's getting late, I know Jiumei just came back from the Hou Mansion, Jiumei should go back and have a rest, and then come and talk with me when she is free."
Previously, it was Yao Xinlan who was reluctant to give up on Qin Wan and had to talk until she was tired before stopping, but today she didn't seem to want to talk too much, and she even took the initiative to ask Qin Wan to go back and rest, Qin Wan naturally would not refuse.
After leaving the house, Qin Wan fell silent, and Fu Ling also had a rare gloomy expression.
"You still think that the young master and the young lady are deeply in love, but when the servant saw the young lady just now, she only felt that she was in great pain, and the young master was angry. Could it be... the young master doesn't love the young lady anymore?"
Qin Wan sighed helplessly, "Love is the most illusory thing in the world, but if it is truly profound love, how can it disappear so easily."
"Then what happened to the young master and young lady?"
Qin Wan smiled wryly, "I didn't know that husbands and wives would naturally quarrel."
Having said that, Qin Wan's heart was as cool as autumn.
In the Qin Mansion, she was dealing with herself as an outsider after all, and no matter what Miss Nine's experience in the past or her own character, she would not intervene in these messy things before she figured out what was right and what was wrong.
Fu Ling curled her lips, "This servant thought that finding a husband like Eldest Young Master would be all right."
Qin Wan only said that Fu Ling was pure-hearted, but when he looked up, Qin Wan saw that the people in the mansion were changing new lanterns.
The newly replaced lanterns were painted with the pattern of the new moon on the West Tower, which was quite elegant, and Fu Ling saw it from behind, and immediately said, "It's coming to the Autumn Festival, and the house also needs to be decorated. "
Qin Wan nodded slightly, thinking of going to the garden party with Yue Ning in the future, he couldn't help but quicken his pace.
When he got to the gate of Ting Lan Yuan, Qin Wan was taken aback. Cai He led the four maidservants standing outside the gate, just waiting for her.
"Miss Jiu is back—"
Cai He stepped forward warmly and politely, smiling brightly.
Qin Wan nodded, and glanced at the four maidservants with beautiful faces.
Caihe said, "Miss Nine, the young master called his wife and the old lady early this morning, and said that there is a shortage of manpower for the young lady. come over."
Turning around, "This is Wantang, Wantao, Wanxing, Wanli."
These four people are all younger generations, and Qin Wan remembers that Qin Shuang and Qin Xiang's maidservants are also younger generations, obviously they are big girls prepared for her. The maidservants are all beautiful women with beautiful appearance and tall stature. Looking at their age, they are all around fourteen or fifteen years old. However, upon closer inspection, each of them is slightly different.
Wan Tang was well-mannered, calm and steady, and stood with her eyes closed at this moment, treating Qin Wan very respectfully, Wan Tao had a round face and cheeks, although her head was lowered, her eyes were somewhat lively, and she glanced at Qin Wan the first time she came over At a glance, Wan Xing's shoulders shrunk slightly and her body was slightly tense. Although she stood with her eyes downcast according to the rules, she didn't have the slightest sense of existence among the four people. Wan Li also looked respectful, but the strange thing was that Qin Wan looked In the past, for some reason, I felt that there was a slight coldness in her body...
"They are all good-looking and well-behaved, thank you Miss Caihe."
Cai He's smile deepened, "Miss Nine should thank you as well as the old lady. These people are all children raised outside the mansion, and they are all trained. Any young master or lady who needs it will be transferred in. Miss Nine Use it first, if you feel dissatisfied, come to me and tell me to send it out immediately and then bring in a new one."
Cai He said this in front of the four of them, and sure enough, the expressions of the four of them became more respectful.
Qin Wan nodded, "Okay, you should worry about it."
"I don't dare to be a servant." Cai He blessed Fushen, "Then the servant will retire first."
Qin Wan nodded, and Cai He nodded to Fu Ling again and left. As soon as Cai He left, Qin Wan watched the four of them stepping into the yard, and Fu Ling also looked at the four of them curiously outside. In her opinion, the four of them The appearance of a person is a symbol of Qin Wan's identity. She just felt curious and excited, but when she turned around and saw Qin Wan leaving by herself, Fu Ling's eyes moved, and she said with a smile, "Come in."
Qin Wan walked in front, pursed her lips, and walked into the main room.
Qin Wan sat down, Fu Ling came in to serve, and the next four "wans" walked in, bowed to Qin Wan, Qin Wan drank the hot tea Fu Ling handed over, secretly looked at the four "wans".
Right now she suddenly changed the yard, and often went to the Anyang Marquis Mansion, she was the most attention-grabbing existence in this mansion, did any of these four people come over from others? Or, is there anyone related to the murderer...
Sending four maidservants, it seems that she has become a decent young lady in the mansion, but among these four "evenings", there must be some people who don't think so. The cold treatment and harsh treatment of the past four years made everyone feel that She is an unlucky person and a person who is easy to bully, and among all the servants, it is absolutely impossible to eliminate it in such a short time.
Qin Wan raised his chin, "I only have two people here, and I don't have much to do. You four go and clean up the side room, and settle down first."
Qin Wan was like an orphan girl who had just been favored, she didn't even know how to arrange for her servants, she gave orders casually, it seemed that she didn't have the pretensions of Qin Shuang and Qin Xiang.
"yes."
The four of them didn't show any expressions this time, and stood up with a promise.
Qin Wan took a look at Fu Ling, and Fu Ling happily said to the four of them, "Come with me."
Although the four "nights" are all from the generation of big girls, Fuling is the closest person to Qin Wan. Now that there are four "nights", it is impossible to surpass her. With the feeling of being a big girl.
"You four, come with me!"
Fu Ling puffed out her small chest, and walked out first, and the four of them blessed Qin Wan, and then followed out.
After a few people left, Qin Wan got up and stood by the window. Through the half-opened window lattice, he could see a group of five people.
Whether these people can stay or not will be known soon.
