Chapter 116: Discovering the Clues
readx;? Qin E and Qiu Ju returned to Lanwan Garden in silence. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
By this time, it was getting late, and all the courtyards were lit up. As soon as Qin Efu entered, Qin Yan jumped out and shouted, "Sister!"
Qin E raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "How do you know I'm back?"
Qin Yan winked playfully and said, "I'm guarding the door, and I'll hear it as soon as the door shaft rings." ”
Qin E showed a doting smile. "It's a great ear. ”
Qin E took Qin Yan's hand and walked slowly into the room. Suddenly, her feet slammed, and the corners of her slightly upturned mouth gradually fell.
Qin Yan whispered "sister" for some reason.
Qin E didn't hear it, all her thoughts were occupied by the discovery just now.
She turned back to the courtyard gate and tugged on the door.
The axle is well lubricated, but it still makes a soft "squeak". In the small courtyard that is not very quiet, the sound is crisp and clear.
Qin E remembered the gate of the Shen family's former residence.
Mottled door panels, lined with weeds. As Eleven said, I am afraid that there will be a sound when I touch it, so they have to go to great lengths to climb over the wall and enter.
But what if the old lady and He went there?
They don't have the ability to climb over the wall!
However, they drove straight in, and no one noticed.
In the mother's yard, there is obviously an old woman who guards the door and lives at the door. Didn't she hear a sound?
Or they heard it, but deliberately pretended not to hear it.
Qin E rubbed the silver bracelet on her left hand, and the place that she had always felt was wrong became clearer and clearer.
It is true that the old lady and He stole their mother's dowry, but it is not the same thing as being haunted.
The haunted thing spread from the small mountain house, and it was Mama Wei who said it. According to Qiu Ju, Mama Wei should have been frightened and said nonsense in her dream.
Qin E remembered the traces of someone falling that Eleven had found.
At that time, she didn't care, but now that she thinks about it, it should be the old lady and her party, and when they saw the so-called ghosts, some people fell down in fright, leaving those messy traces.
The old lady stole her mother's dowry, and she would never want people to know, let alone let out a rumor to make everyone pay attention to that place.
The haunting thing was caused by other people, which frightened the old lady and made everyone talk about it.
In other words, let yourself find the clues, to verify, to investigate, to retaliate!
Qin E paced back and forth in the room, unable to hide the fluctuations in her heart.
Who is it? Who is going to do this, and what is the purpose?
The more anxious Qin E became, the more she couldn't figure it out, her head was buzzing, and her two temples were jumping.
Qin E took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and slowly re-sorted out the ins and outs of the whole thing from beginning to end.
The source of this incident was that Ho's loan shark was defrauded of money. And the person who helped her match her was Chen Yongcai, the housekeeper in the front yard.
She sat down again, her bracelet slamming against the table with a crunch.
Qin E's gaze fell on it again, and she couldn't help but think of Meng Jingke.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and something that she almost forgot came out.
In Liaodong Mansion, Meng Jingke rescued them from the hands of the big housekeeper, and when he returned to the capital, he told her one thing. The reason why the big housekeeper dared to embarrass them like this was because he was instructed by a housekeeper surnamed Chen from the Qin family in the capital.
After she returned to Beijing, she also secretly investigated, and there were many descendants of the Qin family surnamed Chen, and it was impossible to determine who it was based on this information alone. But she has a deep memory of Chen Yongcai. There is no other reason, Chen Yongcai has the highest status among these people, he is in charge of the account room in the outer courtyard, and he is a person who is very trusted by his father and has great power.
These two people, will they be the same person?
Qin E remembered the last time she bumped into Li Lu in the mansion, and it was also this Chen Yongcai who jumped out and spoke with a gun and a stick, alluding to her and Li Lu's ambiguity and disobedience.
At that time, she was still very strange why Chen Yongcai was climbing herself like this.
The people who wanted to let them never come back in Liaodong Mansion were none other than the Fang family and the old lady. The matter of instigating Ho's usury is a trick no matter how you look at it. If Chen Yongcai is the old lady's person, this matter does not make sense.
If Chen Yongcai was Fang's person, it would all be explained.
In order to deal with their mother, the two of them reached a tacit understanding and formed an alliance. After her mother left, the old lady lost her suppression and became big by herself. The He family never treated his aunt and took care of the house, and Fang's life under them was not easy.
Fang Clan, a very hot character, will definitely seize every opportunity to bring down the two. Her return has become her perfect opportunity, and she has become her knife against the old lady and the He family.
Qin E's eyes became deeper and deeper, and the resentment of her past and present lives was intensely painted all over her eyes.
Fang's unscrupulous plan to force himself to break with the old lady was really well-intentioned.
I have to pay a good tribute to her.
A plan quickly formed in her mind, and Qin E called Cui'er: "You go and find me the little cicada in Fangfeiyuan, if she doesn't come, you can tell her that if you want to live, come over, this is her only chance." Then he commanded: "Be quick, and be sure to bring her over before anyone else calls her away." ”
Cui'er didn't know what to do, and when she saw that what Qin E said was serious, she hurriedly ran to call someone.
At Fangfei Garden, Mama Xu panicked and broke into Fang's house.
The Fang clan was dressing up Qin Ting, Qin Ting's body was already well, but her spirit was still a little cowardly. In her eleven years of life, she has never been so wronged and frightened.
Fang felt sorry for his daughter and tried his best to make her happy.
When Mama Xu broke in, Qin Ting just smiled at the new jewelry that Fang Shi gave her. "Uncle is so kind to us, the jewel on this hairpin is so beautiful. ”
Mama Xu stood at the door, with a smile on her face, her eyes glaring at Fang's frequently.
Fang coaxed Qin Ting to play in the house by herself, came out to stand outside with Mama Xu, frowned, and said, "What's the matter, are you panicking?"
Mama Xu said: "It's the master...... there"
The Fang clan came to his senses and asked, "What did Qin E say when he went to find the old man, is the old man going to find the old lady and the He family?"
Mama Xu couldn't bear the excitement in her eyes, shook her head and said, "It's not this, the eldest lady did go to the master's study, but she didn't go in when she stood at the door, and left after a salute." ”
"Huh, left without saying anything?" This time Fang was puzzled.
Mama Xu said anxiously: "Auntie, this matter is not important, there are more troublesome things at the moment." The old man went out to drink at noon today, got drunk, and slept in the study. ”
Fang Shi was puzzled: "Is there anything wrong with this, doesn't the master often sleep in the study?"
Mama Xu said: "There's nothing wrong with it, the key is the little cicada, that cheap maid just went to the master's study." ”
Fang's psychology was faintly a little bad, she raised her voice and said loudly, "And then, what's wrong with her?"
"She and the master were in the study, closed the door and stayed for most of the hour, the voice inside was ambiguous, very unusual, eighty percent of them were already the master's people!"
Fang smashed the tea bowl in his hand violently.
"Where's that, bring it to me right now!" (To be continued.) )
