"It's unreasonable! It's unreasonable..."
Standing beside Princess Taichang's bed, Jiang Shi was already trembling with anger. Looking at Yue Jia, who was magnificent and imposing beside him, Jiang Shi's eyes were almost red with hatred. She is also the daughter of a famous family, and she knew that Ruo Song Rou would The daughter is the biggest shame of the family, and her upbringing does not allow her to say vicious words, but she really hates the Song family.
Her son is so good, and she never wanted to marry a woman with a high family background. She just wanted to find a virtuous, virtuous and knowledgeable daughter-in-law, who could add fragrance to her son Qin Se and Ming Hongxiu, and then the family house prospered Just extend to descendants.
She didn't ask much, and when the Song family's marriage was brought down, she was not happy because of the Song family's family background. She only felt that the Song family was a prominent family in the capital, and their daughters must be well-bred.
Unexpectedly, the Song family actually gave such a shame to the Anyang Houfu—
"Master Hou, this matter must not be let go!"
Jiang shi gritted his teeth, but Yue Jia beside him frowned and looked calm.
Yue Qiong nodded and looked at Princess Taichang, "Mother, do you want to send someone to the capital immediately for this matter—"
The Taichang Princess sneered again, "The Song family is one of the famous families in the capital, but the more prosperous the capital, the more filthy and filthy it is beyond human resemblance." Said the Taichang Princess, her expression was certain, "This time Divide the matter into two, the entanglement with the Song family is our family matter, but Miss Song's death is a public matter, let's put the public first and then private."
Contrary to Yue Qiong's expectation, Princess Taichang was not furious, and he could let go of his worries about her health. He nodded, "I would like to follow my mother's order, and wait for the murder case to be finalized before talking about anything else."
Princess Taichang looked at Huo Huaixin, "Just handle your case, and you don't care about the private affairs of the Hou Mansion."
Huo Huai was a little nervous in his confidence, he wished he had to know about this private matter, so he coughed softly and said, "Princess Taichang, please don't worry, this official knows the seriousness, this matter is not small, I guess Mr. Wei must know about it The reason, therefore, I want to call Mr. Wei Jia over to ask, what do you think?"
The sickness on Princess Taichang's face is not gone yet, but at the moment, she has a look of killing and decisiveness, she nodded, "Okay, call me to ask, I also want to hear what will happen to this little nephew of the Wei family explain."
Huo Huaixin nodded, then turned to look at Yue Qiong, and Yue Qiong ordered the servants outside, "Go and invite Mr. Wei."
Huo Huaixin's eyeballs moved, and he walked up to Yue Qiong and whispered a few words to him. Yue Qiong raised his eyebrows, and nodded after pondering for a while, "Okay, you can do it."
As soon as the words were finished, Yang Xi said outside, "Master Hou, Mr. Zhifu, the arresters are here."
Huo Huaixin and Yue Qiong looked at each other and walked out, and returned after a while. The people in the room didn't know what arrangement Huo Huaixin had made, but Huo Huaixin had a determined look on his face. Soon, Wei Yanzhi arrived.
"Little nephew pays respects to His Royal Highness Taichang Princess, Mrs. Hou, madam, and Mrs. Zhifu!"
Wei Yanzhi made a round of salutations, and then bowed to Yan Chi and Yue Jia. Huo Huaixin and Yue Qiong sat on the open chairs on the left and right sides of the room. Yue Qiong remained silent, and Huo Huaixin spoke first, "Mr. Did you know that Yizhuang was on fire last night?"
Wei Yan was taken aback, "Fire? Yizhuang is on fire?"
Huo Huaixin didn't move in the face of Wei Yanzhi's surprise, but he had a half-smile expression on his face, "It seems that Mr. Wei doesn't know, Mr. Wei doesn't know about this matter, Mr. Wei must know about the other thing. "
Wei Yanzhi had already sensed the unkindness in Huo Huaixin's voice, he straightened his back with a calm expression on his face, "What is the magistrate talking about?"
Huo Huaixin pursed his lips, and his voice sank, "Ms. Song should have known about Miss Song's pregnancy, Mr. Wei?"
Wei Yanzhi's eyebrows twitched, and his eyes couldn't help flickering, "I was...pregnant..."
Huo Huaixin stared at Wei Yanzhi, and everyone in the room stared at Wei Yanzhi. Wei Yanzhi stood in the room with nowhere to hide. Looking at everyone's eyes, he finally showed bitterness, "Master Zhifu, This matter... my nephew doesn't know about this matter... my nephew... "
"You don't know? The Duke's Mansion is closely connected with your Wei Mansion. Otherwise, you wouldn't be allowed to marry me off." Huo Huaixin leaned forward, his eyes and tone were compelling, "Before Miss Song got married, Have you ever been seriously ill? You don’t even know about these? Miss Song is pregnant, who is the father of the child? Miss Song is raised in a boudoir, and the people who can get in touch with her must be close to the Duke’s mansion, Wei Mansion is one of them, could it be Mr. Wei you..."
Huo Huaixin pointed directly at Wei Yanzhi, and Wei Yanzhi's expression suddenly turned cold, "No!"
Wei Yanzhi clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves, and he stood like a dead tree, "It's not me, of course it's not me, my nephew is a concubine, how could he enter the eyes of the princess of the Duke's Mansion..."
While talking, Wei Yanzhi lowered his head, and there was a little pain in his voice, "This matter... my nephew, my nephew really doesn't know, it's just... it's just that Xiaorou was seriously ill for half a month before she got married, that is, that is About a month before the wedding, she was grounded in the name of waiting to be married, but my nephew heard that she was seeing a doctor to take medicine... "
After a slight pause, Wei Yanzhi said again, "At that time, my brother's leg was broken. I was a little hesitant to be a nephew. My brother has always liked to train horses. He is very skilled. How could he break his leg? , when my nephew went to visit, I only saw people from the Duke's Mansion, but the people in the Duke's Mansion looked very unfriendly. At that time, my nephew didn't know why, but my brother was locked up after breaking his leg , and then the person who gave the marriage was replaced by the next..."
Huo Huaixin frowned, "That is to say, the person who had an affair with Miss Song is your direct brother?"
Wei Yanzhi shook his head, "My nephew is not sure, but when my lord asked here, the only person my nephew can think of is my brother. He grew up with Xiao Rou since he was a child, and he cared for Xiao Rou very much. Some people have joked that the Wei Mansion and the Duke's Mansion will get married, but... but the Wei Manor is sparsely populated, and although the Duke's Mansion loves his grandson, they don't want to facilitate this marriage."
"That's right!" Wei Yanzhi suddenly raised his head, "My first brother is left-handed."
After the words were settled, Huo Huaixin stared, "What did you say?!"
Wei Yanzhi smiled wryly, "Actually, my nephew wanted to say it that night when I heard adults mention left-handed people for the first time, but, after the wedding team set off, they went all the way south, and my first brother was in the capital, so... so my little nephew My nephew didn't explain."
Huo Huaixin and Yue Qiong looked at each other, Huo Huaixin said in disbelief, "Is your brother really left-handed?"
Wei Yanzhi nodded, "Many of Song's guardians know this. Some people in the world are left-handed, and they are considered different because of their small number. Later, my brother can also write with his right hand, but it's just acquired. practiced."
Huo Huaixin fell silent. They had been looking for a left-handed man for a long time, and even suspected that they found Yan Chi, but Wei Yanzhi suddenly said that his direct brother was actually a left-handed man. Could it be that his direct brother and Song Rou's affection was deep and righteous, so he got Knowing that Song Rouyuan was unwilling to marry, she followed? And then killed Song Rou because of love and hatred
Jinzhou is thousands of miles away from the capital. For this, we only need to send someone to check whether Wei Yanzhi's direct brother is in the capital. Huo Huaixin frowned tightly. Jinzhou is too far away from the capital. It would take a lot of time to go, not to mention two wealthy families were involved, it was really difficult for him.
"What did Mr. Wei do after you came back last night?"
Huo Huaixin suddenly asked, Wei Yanzhi frowned and said, "I came back too late last night, my nephew went directly back to Dongyuan to wash and sleep, and did nothing else. Everyone in Dongyuan can testify for my nephew."
Huo Huaixin frowned suddenly, Wei Yanzhi looked at Huo Huaixin, "Could it be that the magistrate is suspicious of my nephew?"
Huo Huaixin's brows stretched, and the corners of his lips slightly curved into a smile, "Of course I can't, I'm just asking." He stretched his body as he spoke, "Okay, that's all for asking, Mr. Wei can speak I am very grateful for the inexhaustible officials.”
Wei Yanzhi bowed hurriedly, "I dare not do it, it's what I should do." The words settled down, and he said rather awkwardly, "Master Zhifu, this matter... my nephew is not absolutely sure about this matter, please sir..."
"Don't worry, we will investigate these matters naturally, and we know what should be said and what should not be said." Huo Huaixin exhaled, "Okay, that's all there are to ask, you go back, we already have this case There are many clues, and there will be a conclusion soon.”
Wei Yanzhi nodded, and then turned to look at Yue Qiong, "Master Hou, this matter is that the Duke's Mansion is ashamed of the Marquis Mansion of Anyang, my nephew... my nephew is ashamed of the Marquis Mansion, why don't I let my nephew take the Song family with me?" Hu Cong live out, lest..."
Yue Qiong looked at Wei Yanzhi's eyes no longer with the familiarity of the past, but this matter has nothing to do with Wei Yanzhi, Wei Yanzhi is not from the Duke's mansion, he can't decide anything, Yue Qiong shook his head, "You shouldn't say these words, This matter has nothing to do with you, you can just tell the magistrate what you know, go back and rest."
Wei Yanzhi hesitated to speak for a few moments, but faced with the cold faces of Princess Taichang and Yue Qiong, he didn't dare to say more, and after another salute, he turned around and left. As soon as he left, Princess Taichang felt a burst of anger in his chest. ups and downs!
However, Huo Huaixin looked at Yan Chi who had been standing aside, "Your Highness Chi, Lord Hou asked His Highness Chi to send someone back to the capital, and I don't know when the news from the capital will be sent to Jinzhou?"
Yan Chi said solemnly, "I will arrive tomorrow at the latest."
Huo Huaixin nodded, and turned to look at Princess Taichang, "You heard it too. Could the left-handed man we've been investigating be Mr. Wei's direct brother? And the person who had an affair with Miss Song, could he also be his direct brother?" Brother?"
The princess Taichang exhaled, "My old woman shouldn't ask about these things. You are the magistrate, so go and check it out. I just need to know the result." She waved her hands wearily, "Go, I will Talk to Jing Shu and Qiong Er."
As soon as these words came out, everyone understood that this was to tell Yue Qiong and the Jiang family what to do.
After all, this matter was a secret of the Hou Mansion, Huo Huaixin immediately stood up and resigned, and Qin Wan and Yan Chi also withdrew.
As soon as they went out, Yue Qing and Yue Ning were already waiting. They also received the news that the Yizhuang was on fire in the morning. They thought it was because the autopsy failed, but they didn't expect Qin Wan to go to Yizhuang anyway. Yue Ning grabbed Qin Wan's hand hand, pulled her to the side, "how? How about the autopsy results? Why did you call Mr. Wei over to ask questions? Mr. Wei's face was very ugly. I asked what happened just now and said sorry to me. , What did you find out?"
Qin Wan pursed her lips, seeing that Yan Chi and Huo Huaixin were a little bit troubled, Yue Jia said to Huo Huaixin and Yan Chi, "Master Zhifu, Your Highness Chi, Qing'er, let's sit in the flower hall in front. "
Yue Jia's attitude is upright, but he doesn't mind if Yue Ning knows about this matter. These things are dirty things in the inner house, and ordinary people will definitely not let the juniors know about them, but the family style of Anyang Marquis Mansion is different, and there are no strict rules.
As soon as Yan Chi and the others left, Qin Wan briefly told Yue Ning what he knew and heard today.
Yue Ning opened her eyes wide, and didn't come back to her senses for a long time, "This... the Duke's Mansion is really courageous..."
She gritted her teeth angrily, but she couldn't say anything bad, she just clenched her fists and was angry, Qin Wan gave her a hand, "This matter will be handled by Princess Taichang and Mrs. Hou Ye, as long as you know , don’t talk too much.”
Yue Ning slapped the pillar next to her, "It's strange that Mr. Wei just said I'm sorry, I'm still thinking about what I'm sorry for, after all, the Song family and him are the ones who are most sad..."
Yue Ning raised her eyebrows slightly, "Could it be that the eldest son of the Wei family really came to Jinzhou?"
Qin Wan shook his head, "I don't know about it, it's not impossible, and if it's really the eldest son of the Wei family who came to Jinzhou, then the previous things can be explained clearly."
"If it was him, how did he kill him? Was he also the one who pretended to be a ghost?"
Qin Wan tilted his head, "Tingwei, the eldest son of the Wei family, is also a man of great martial arts, it is possible for him to escape from the house, and it is very likely that he has planted cronies among these guards to inform him."
Yue Ning frowned tightly, "This matter is getting more and more complicated."
Qin Wan also felt heavy in his heart, this matter is indeed getting more and more complicated, but just like the darkest night must be experienced before dawn, the more complicated things are, the closer the truth may be.
"Hey, catch the head together—"
Yue Ning suddenly made a sound, Qin Wan raised his eyes to look, and sure enough, he saw Qi Tuotou coming from the east, asked the little maid outside, and went straight to the flower hall.
Qin Wan and Yue Ning looked at each other and hurriedly followed.
As soon as he walked to the entrance of the hall, he heard Qi Butou say, "It was true that he was in Dongyuan last night. He wrote for half the night. Many people saw the shadow of his writing cast on the window. This morning was the same as usual when he got up. …”
It dawned on Qin Wan's heart that Huo Huaixin had asked Qi Lin to investigate Wei Yanzhi.
It seemed that he also began to doubt Wei Yanzhi.
…
…
Qin Wan talked to Yue Ning for a while, and when Jiang Shi and Yue Qiong came out of the inner room, he went in again to ask for a pulse for the Taichang Princess. The Taichang Princess was so angry that she was a little restless , Qin Wan changed another prescription, and then offered his farewell. The eldest princess took pity on Qin Wan's hard work in getting up early for the autopsy, so she let her go. Yue Ning sent her to the gate of the mansion, watching Bai Feng drive Qin Wan in a carriage He returned to the mansion just after leaving, but Yan Chi didn't show up.
"Miss, are you tired? Let's take a rest..."
Qin Wan was indeed a little tired, so he leaned against the wall of the car and closed his eyes. Fu Ling closed the cloak for her, and sat obediently by the side so as not to disturb her with her eyes closed. Bai Feng drove very steadily, unconsciously Qin Wan really confused her sleeping consciousness, but just when she was about to fall asleep, the carriage suddenly stopped and then stopped abruptly.
Qin Wan swayed, his back bumped against the wall of the car, and he suddenly woke up. Outside the carriage, Bai Feng's horse neighed shrilly, and the market was full of noise and noise, with people mixed in faintly Scolding!
"Miss, are you all right?"
Qin Wan shook her head, "What's the matter? Why did it stop?"
Before the words were finished, Qin Wan suddenly heard someone shouting outside——
"Stop! Stop for me! Catch the thief, help catch the thief—"
It was a man's cry. Because he shouted too hard, his voice was shrill and sharp and split into branches. But when Qin Wan heard it, he felt a little familiar. At this moment, Bai Feng outside said, "Nine Girl, someone has stolen something ahead, and a few people are chasing after it, and the street is a bit chaotic."
Qin Wan said "Yes", "It's okay, you can leave later."
Bai Feng was outside, and Qin Wan moved his stiff neck. At this moment, the voice from outside sounded again, "That's the man! Stop! Catch the thief—"
The person who shouted was out of breath, and his voice was not as loud as before. Although he was still shouting, his tone was filled with frustration. It was obvious that the thief had run away and could not be caught. , and because of this, the man's voice became normal instead, Qin Wan's heart moved, and he lifted the curtain.
In the market four or five feet away in front of the carriage, a man in a brown robe was panting with his hands on his knees. Although Qin Wan only saw a figure from the back, how could she know who he had just seen in the morning? don't know.
"Bai Feng, it's Xu Wuzuo who lost something in front?!"
"It seems... yes, it's Xu Yu's work." Bai Feng probably took a look twice and recognized Xu He. He saw Xu He very rarely, so he didn't recognize it at first sight just now.
Qin Wan quickly said, "Drive the carriage to the front—"
Bai Feng moved after hearing the order, and the carriage moved slowly. Soon, the carriage arrived at Xu He's side.
Xu He was still bent over, with his hands resting on his knees. His yelling just now alarmed many people around him, but two people helped him chase him a few steps. Then he ran away, and finally, the crowd only gave him sympathetic looks, and Xu He looked at the busy street in front of him with a bitter face. The thief ran away, and his box was also lost. Not to mention, there are two taels of silver in the box, which is for him to chew for half a year!
Xu He was immersed in the grief of losing his wealth and life, and he didn't notice a carriage stopped beside him at all. He took a few more breaths, and he straightened up after he recovered a little. Let me give you a soft call.
"Xu Wuzuo—"
Xu He froze for a moment, turned around and saw Qin Wan's face in the car window, Xu He opened his eyes wide in disbelief, and hurriedly bowed to salute, "Ninth Miss—"
After finishing the sentence, thinking that Qin Wan must have seen what he did just now, his face flushed immediately!
Seeing his embarrassed look, Qin Wan's lips curled up, "Bai Feng, drive the carriage to the corner of the street, and I will have a word with Xu Wuzuo."
Bai Feng followed the order, and Xu He followed.
After Xu He left Yizhuang in the morning, he didn't go to the Hou's Mansion. Qin Wan came out after going to the Hou's Mansion. Naturally, he didn't expect to meet Xu He here. "The things Xu Wu made are lost?"
Xu He's face was bitter, but he didn't hide it, "Yes, Miss Jiu, look, I lost my suitcase. I said I lost it, but I might say I robbed it. Just now, the villain was eating noodles at the noodle stall in front of me. Before the bowl of Yangchun noodles was finished, the box next to him was taken off by one person, and the villain had already reacted very quickly to chase after him, but the man ran like a rabbit, and the villain did not catch up after chasing for half a street .”
Qin Wan looked at him frowning and crying, showing sympathy and wanting to laugh, "Is there an autopsy artifact in the box?"
"Yeah!" Xu He didn't have the nerve to say that he still had money, but continued, "That set of things is used by the villain to make a living. Although it is worthless, he has been with the villain for a long time. Now that he has lost it, the villain still has money." I really don't know what to do, fortunately the yamen doesn't need the villain's autopsy for the time being, otherwise the magistrate might just let the villain pack up and leave."
"Only one set of utensils?"
Xu He shook his head, "No, there is Quhui incense, paper and pen for inspection, and... a little bit of personal money from a villain, and some official documents from the government office. They are all miscellaneous, not worth much, but The villain is distressed, those official documents and today's inspection report, the villain has to re-transcribe when I go back, fortunately the villain has a good memory."
Qin Wan sighed, and glanced at Fu Ling, who immediately took out three liang of silver and handed it out.
Seeing this, Xu He hurriedly waved his hands, "Impossible, that's not what a villain means, a villain..."
"Take it, I understand that's not what you mean. If you think it's inappropriate, you can treat it as a temporary loan from me. When you pay your salary, I'll just return it to you." Qin Wan's voice was soft, and Xu He's was Can't even refuse.
"Ninth girl is really a bodhisattva with a heart...then... that villain will accept it, and when the salary is paid, he will definitely return it to the girl." Xu He took three taels of silver, his eyes full of sincere gratitude.
Qin Wan nodded, "Don't worry about this, just be careful next time you eat in the street."
Xu He nodded vigorously, "Nine girls, don't worry, the villain must be more careful in the future." He said with a wry smile, "Speaking of which, the villain is only afraid of bad luck recently, and I only lost it once four or five days ago. The package, I lost all the boxes today, I just feel that those little thieves don't know how to look at people, and the villain doesn't look like a rich man... "
Xu He teased himself, and Qin Wan couldn't laugh or cry, "Why did you lose things all the time?"
"That's right, the package that I lost that time was the package that the villain usually used to hold the official documents of the yamen. On the way to the yamen, when the villain went to buy medicine, he lost it. Fortunately, it was only filled with There is no money for the two official documents and inspection certificates."
"Buy medicine?" Qin Wan noticed Xu He's words.
Xu He shook his head, "It's not the villain, it's the old man who rented the yard to the villain who fell ill, and he's cured now."
Qin Wan nodded, and Xu He saw that Bai Feng was driving the carriage, and he was heading east of the city. He knew that Qin Wan was going back to the Qin Mansion, so he took a step back and said, "Ninth Miss must be going back to the mansion." Yes, the villain dare not delay the girl, the girl's generosity Xu He will definitely remember in his heart, please return the girl, the villain will send the girl respectfully."
Seeing that he was so grateful for the favor, Qin Wan felt relieved, and then she smiled and put down the curtain. With a whip of Bai Feng's whip, the carriage slowly drove out of the street, heading towards the Qin Mansion in the east of the city. go.
…
…
Today's Qin Mansion has been refurbished, but when Qin Wan returned home, it was not as lively and festive as imagined. Qin Wan didn't care about these things, and went to Linfeng Courtyard to ask for Yao Xinlan's pulse. It was rare, but Yao Xinlan's mood improved a lot.
"Did my sister go to the Lantern Festival on the Spring Festival Eve last night?"
Yao Xinlan leaned on the pillow behind her. Even though she was still looking sick in new clothes, Qin Wan unconsciously lowered her voice to talk to her with her pitiful and delicate eyebrows.
"Yeah, I've gone, it's really lively." Qin Wan took it over in a few words, the excitement was lively, but she was also shocked and almost died.
"Unfortunately, I don't have this blessing. I heard that the Qiuxi Festival in Jinzhou City is the most lively. It is much more lively than Jianzhou Mansion. I don't know if I can still have this blessing to see it."
"What is the sister-in-law saying? I will definitely be able to go. After the baby is born, I will be able to go next year."
The corners of Yao Xinlan's lips curved slightly, "I hope so. The child kicked me this morning. Is this a sign of the child's health?"
Seeing Qin Wan nodding, Yao Xinlan rubbed her belly contentedly, "As long as the child is healthy, I will be satisfied. Things in this world are really reincarnated. I asked someone to donate fifty shi for relief food." Mi, it's all about praying for my child, Ninth Sister, my child will be born safely, right?"
"That's natural." Qin Wan carefully looked at Yao Xinlan's eyebrows, but saw that there was no dazed look between her eyebrows, as if she asked the question twice that day was just her illusion, "Sister-in-law is in good health." If there are too many, the baby will be born smoothly, and in two days, the sister-in-law will have to get up and walk more, the weather is cold, and the cold air will enter the body after lying down for a long time, it is advisable to move in an appropriate amount to unblock the blood."
Yao Xinlan nodded, "I will definitely listen to what Ninth Sister said, Ninth Sister, don't worry."
Qin Wan nodded, "There is no need to change the prescription for the time being. If the pills are not enough, I will make some for sister-in-law."
Yao Xinlan was very grateful, and hurriedly asked Mo Shu to bring out two jade hairpins, "It's the festival, this is a little favor from sister-in-law, sister-in-law, don't be disgusted, she must be subordinate."
Qin Wan wanted to refuse, but Yao Xinlan's eyes turned red all of a sudden, "Could it be that the ninth sister hates it?"
Seeing this, Qin Wan couldn't say anything more, so she nodded and accepted it immediately, and said a few more words before leaving Linfengyuan and returning to Tinglanyuan. After walking a few steps, Fuling whispered, "Miss, the mansion Somewhat uneven."
"Huh? Not peaceful?"
Fu Ling nodded, "That's right, for this year's Qiuxi Festival, the Qin family also chartered a boat as usual. They originally wanted the whole family to enjoy the lanterns and swim around the lake, but yesterday the master and wife didn't go out. Not only that, last night the lady also The master from the Lingyin Temple outside the city was invited to do the deed, and they said that there was a seductive goblin in the mansion, which caused the master to fall ill."
Just now when Qin Wan was talking to Yao Xinlan, Fu Ling chatted outside with the little girls in Linfengyuan. Now that Qin Wan's status is different, the little girls didn't dare to be disrespectful when they saw Fu Ling, and even wanted to get close to her.
"Master is sick? Did you invite a doctor into the mansion?"
Fu Ling shook her head, "No, it's just that the master's yard has been sealed right now, and someone is strictly guarding it. I only asked Dr. Qian to visit it last night, and then performed rituals. I'm afraid that the old lady and his wife think that the master's illness is a coquettish thing." Spirits are at work."
Qin Wan listened to these words in his heart, but didn't say much. Qin An was greedy, and his body had been injured long ago. It's embarrassing to let her, a junior, watch it. It just so happens that she doesn't want to get involved in the muddy waters of the Qin Mansion. Yao Xinlan is enough for her to worry about.
"Also, the second young master is also ill." Fu Ling suddenly said again.
Qin Wan's heart trembled, "What's going on over there?"
Fu Ling sighed a little, "The maids in the mansion used to envy those around the second young master the most. Although the second young master has a romantic temper, he treats servants very well, and the people around him are all good-looking. The Second Young Master has never been short of them, they are like half masters, but just yesterday, the Second Young Master suddenly sent two of them out..."
Qin Wan frowned, did her speculation come true
"This matter made the girls in the mansion relieve their anger for a while. They said that it was those two people who didn't take good care of them that made the second young master fall ill. The gate of the second young master's yard was closed yesterday, and it seems that the second young master is quite sick."
Qin Wan's thoughts moved slightly, thinking about what he saw that day, he became more and more sure of his thoughts, "Did you invite a doctor?"
"No." Fu Ling shook her head, "Master is sick, Madam and Madam are both worried about Master, the Second Young Master has never been liked by the Old Madam, and Madam is not the Second Young Master's own mother, the Second Young Master shuts the yard himself, so no one else will Ask."
Qin Wan naturally understood the way of doing this, and after returning to Tinglan Garden, he also ordered Wantang to close the courtyard door.
The four "nights" met outside. Qin Wan only brought Fu Ling into the room. Fu Ling took off Qin Wan's cloak. Qin Wan just turned to go to the warm pavilion.
Fuling hung up her cloak, turned around and asked hurriedly, "Miss, what's wrong?"
"Someone came in—"
Fu Ling frowned, "What?!"
As soon as this thought came out, Fu Ling immediately looked outside the door, but Qin Wan raised her hand, "Don't make a sound."
As he spoke, he walked slowly towards the Nuan Pavilion, and when he entered the Nuan Pavilion, Qin Wan glanced inside, then the corners of his lips curved slightly, then Qin Wan turned around, and walked to the inner room again, while walking, Qin Wan casually looked around, while Fu Ling He walked towards the black sandalwood box on the high cabinet very quickly. Inside the box was a sapphire head from Qin Chen, and two sets of jade jewelry from Jiang. They were Qin Wan's most valuable things at the moment. When the box was opened, Poria grew He let out a long sigh of relief, "Fortunately, I didn't lose it."
Qin Wan didn't look at the ebony box, but instead walked to the side desk.
She doesn't have a study room, but only set up a moon cave door on one side of the inner room. Behind the moon cave door, there are desks, pens, ink, paper and inkstones in the side cabinet, and a small bookshelf. She is not Qin Chen. As far as she is concerned, these things are enough in the boudoir of her daughter's house. She looked at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, narrowing her eyes slightly.
"Miss, is the person who came in here?"
Qin Wan nodded slowly, "They definitely don't dare to steal things anymore. If I find out that they have stolen things, I will definitely investigate. When one is unhappy, all four of them can be kicked out."
"Then what are they doing here?" Fu Ling tilted her head, looking left and right, "How did the miss find out that this person came here? This servant doesn't seem to have changed?"
Qin Wan stepped forward, "My post was pressed by the paperweight. I'm used to the paperweight being on top of the manuscript and sticking to the edge, but now, she is also on the top, but the edge is exposed. "
As he said that, Qin Wan pointed to the bookshelf again, "I'm used to putting the books neatly. The outside of the books must be in a line, neither exceeding nor indenting. But look, what's wrong now?"
Fuling looked over, but didn't see any difference the first time, she rubbed her eyes, and looked again, this time, Fuling could see it, "The upper left, the upper left corner, there are three books recessed! "
Qin Wan nodded, "Ordinary people's books can be arranged neatly, but my habit is very strict, a line must be a line, that person probably noticed that my books are neatly arranged, afraid of these three things. The book was protruding and conspicuous, so she tried to put it inside, but she obviously ignored the details, even if it was only a little bit recessed, I could still see it."
As he said that, Qin Wan walked towards the bed, and when he came to the front, Qin Wan couldn't help but sneered.
"Miss, what's the matter? Has it been touched here?"
Fu Ling asked and looked over, and saw that both the brocade quilt and the pillows on the bed were neatly arranged, and it didn't look like someone had turned them over at all...
"Miss's habit, the pillow should be facing upwards, and it is indeed facing upwards at the moment. Miss is used to leaving a gap of three fingers between the brocade quilt and the pillow, and it is indeed three fingers at the moment."
Fu Ling didn't notice Qin Wan's little habits in front of her eyes, and Qin Wan didn't tell her about it. It was she who took care of Qin Wan's daily life because she found out several times that Qin Wan would sleep again after she made the bed. Do it again, come and go, and you will know what Qin Wan likes the most. In contrast, Qin Wan is used to tidying up desks and bookshelves by herself, so she is not so familiar with it.
Qin Wan didn't answer Fu Ling's words, but leaned over and lifted the pillow up.
With this lift, Fu Ling immediately saw the folds of the brocade mattress under the pillow—
Fuling let out an "ah", "The maidservant clearly tidied up neatly!"
Qin Wan raised his hand and stroked the creases on it. Soon, the brocade mattress became smooth. Qin Wan put down the pillow, "This person must be very good at making beds, and he must be very careful in this regard. But she came in secretly, in a panic, and in a panic, it is inevitable that there will be omissions, and these invisible places will be missed by her."
"Miss, who do you think it is? She didn't steal anything when she came in, she just went to the warm pavilion, turned over the bed, and went to your study. What is she going to do?"
Qin Wan turned around and walked out, this time directly into the Nuan Pavilion, "Maybe it's because of curiosity, there are my daily interests in the Nuan Pavilion, there may be some secrets hidden on the bed, and in the study, there are what I have learned and thought, my The brushwork and fonts, the ordinary and beloved words and writings, these are all me, she just wants to explore."
Fu Ling exhaled, "That's fine. Fortunately, she didn't have any malicious intentions. It doesn't matter if she doesn't find out who it is for a while. Otherwise, this servant is really scared to death..."
Qin Wan paused slightly for the hand that was holding the teacup.
Fu Ling was wrong, exploring her is the greatest malice.
In the entire Qin family, the person who wants to investigate her the most is the murderer who killed Miss Jiu.
Qin Wan didn't say this, because she was really not sure who had entered her main room, so she just pretended nothing happened and stayed behind closed doors, drying the dregs brought out from Yizhuang at night, and She asked Fuling to reward Siwan with some silver taels. She believed that the person must have been nervous when Fuling approached the concubine, but when Fuling explained her intentions, the person must have breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, slipped into her study again...
Qin Wan was indifferent, and Fu Ling seemed to be enlightened, vaguely understood Qin Wan's intentions, and slept soundly all night, and early the next morning, Qin Wan finished his breakfast and left the house as usual.
As expected, Bai Feng was waiting outside, and Qin Wan got into the carriage and went straight to Anyang Marquis Mansion.
Today is the day when Yan Chi's people sent news from the capital. Although Qin Wan is not the person handling the case, he is also a little curious about where the case is going. Princess yard.
Qin Wan was still thinking about when he would receive the news today, but he didn't want to see Huo Huaixin striding out with Qi Lin as soon as he walked to the gate of the courtyard. Huo Huaixin also stopped when he saw Qin Wan.
Qin Wan Fu saluted, "I pay my respects to the magistrate."
Huo Huaixin raised his hand, "Excuse me, Miss Jiu, this case is about to be solved!"
Qin Wan raised her eyebrows, "How do you say?"
Huo Huaixin raised his chest, "His Royal Highness Chi sent the news that the eldest son of the Wei family didn't break his leg while riding a horse, but was interrupted by the people of the Duke's Mansion. He was the one who had an affair with Song Rou, and the Wei family On the surface, it was said that the eldest son of his family was recuperating, but His Highness Chi's people went to check, and there was no sign of the eldest son of the Wei family at all in the Wei family courtyard! Even the Wei family was secretly looking for the eldest son!"
After a slight pause, Huo Huaixin said with high spirits, "So now Huo has reason to believe it! The eldest son of the Wei family has probably arrived in Jinzhou Mansion right now! He is the one who killed Song Rou!"
