Chapter 238: The Nightingale
At the last moment, Qin E instinctively ducked back and raised her hand to greet Li Lu's face.
But before she could raise her hand, a dark shadow tumbled down from the wall, separating Li Lu from her.
This was the second time Qin E had seen Eleven draw his sword, and the sword light in the dark shadows was like a white line wrapped around Li Lu's body.
Li Lu had no weapons in his hands, dodging left and right, and looked very embarrassed at first glance. But Qin E saw that he looked calm and fought empty-handed, but Eleven couldn't get close to him, so he knew that Li Lu didn't say anything big just now, and Eleven really couldn't deal with him.
Qin E was afraid that Eleven would suffer a loss, so she shouted loudly: "Eleven, don't fight." ”
Eleven seemed to know that he couldn't beat Li Lu, his face turned red, and he retreated to Qin E's side, glaring at Li Lu with fierce eyes.
Li Lu frowned and said: "Boy, you have good qualifications, but unfortunately you have too little experience, go back and study hard, and come back to fight me in ten years." ”
Eleven is young and vigorous, where can he resist such stimulation, "You dare to belittle our future Overseer's wife, even if I can't kill you, but you can't take advantage of this life." "Speaking of lifting the sword, I have to fight with Li Lu.
Qin E knew that things were going to be bad when she heard Li Lu speak, and as soon as Eleven was about to move, she firmly held her arm. She frightened both Eleven and Li Lu with this pounce, and Li Lu said loudly: "The tip of the knife is not long-eyed, you don't want to die!"
Qin E glared at him angrily, "Who is to blame for this?" I always thought that you didn't look serious, but in fact, you are a decent gentleman in your bones, but who knows that you are looking at the wrong eye. ”
Li Lu's expression was secretive, "You really miss me like that?"
Qin E said angrily: "I will never think so in the future." ”
Li Lu snorted and turned his hand behind his back, "Actually, I just teased you, and I didn't take advantage of you at all." ”
Qin E didn't know if what he said was true or not, everything just now was too fast, she vaguely felt a little cool on her cheeks, but she couldn't say it accurately, maybe she was really mistaken.
Li Lu said: "What, it's a pity that I didn't kiss me?"
"It's a pity. Qin E grabbed Eleven, who was about to step forward and fight hard with Li Lu, "Let's go back!"
Eleven glared at Li Lu fiercely, and raised his sword to escort Qin E from Hui'an Medicine Shop. This time Li Lu didn't stop again, Qin E looked back and saw Li Lu leaning against the door with his arms crossed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After tossing all night, Qin E slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up.
The first thing he did when he got up was to ask about Fang's condition, and Gray Wen said, "Aunt Fang hasn't woken up yet, but she's much better." ”
Fang Shi took Wan Lao's medicine and had a miscarriage that night. Although the child is gone, he finally saved his life.
Qin E had just finished eating, and the second grandmother came in to say goodbye. Since knowing that Qin E was married to Meng Jingke, the second grandmother's illness has been cured. After Mrs. Li learned the news, she sent a few people to ask, Qin E couldn't pull away, so she sent the second grandmother over to say hello, and by the way, she comforted Mrs. Li, the second grandmother only came back from the Li Mansion yesterday.
Qin E looked at the second grandmother who was smiling from ear to ear, and quipped, "Are you relieved this time?"
The second grandmother was angry for Qin E not telling her the truth, which made her anxious for so long. At this moment, Wen Yan glanced at Qin E with some disgust, endured it for a long time, didn't hold back, and laughed out loud, "Madame praised Lord Meng when she was alive, you married Lord Meng, what else is the old slave worried about." Hmph, isn't Mrs. Wei unwilling? Let her see this time, without Wei Changqing, let's find a better one. ”
Qin E didn't want to listen to the Wei family's affairs, so she interrupted: "How is Mrs. Li, how are you doing?" Are the Li family's uncles, aunts, and eighth cousins all okay?"
"Okay, all right. Mrs. Li missed you and said that you must go to see her in a few days. The second master of the Li family asked the old slave to tell you that he had made a few new paintings, waiting for your comments. ”
Qin E wondered, she had never commented on Li Qiong's paintings, why did she suddenly let her comment on her paintings? Thinking of Li Qiong, Qin E couldn't help but think of Hui Niang. For a while, she was busy investigating the real cause of Qin Yu's death, and she hadn't seen Huiniang for a long time. She wants to be a matchmaker for Hui Niang and Li Qiong, and she doesn't know how long it will be delayed.
Qin E sighed slightly, and said to the second grandmother: "There is one thing you can help me check out." ”
"What's the matter?"
"You help me find out the girl named Nightingale who used to serve Qin Yu and later hanged herself. ”
The second mother was a little puzzled, but seeing that Qin E didn't mean to say it, she didn't ask again. In her heart, the eldest lady is no longer a little girl who doesn't know anything, she is the master who can take charge of the house and be the master like the Shen family. Let them do what they want, and do it as slaves.
Within a day, the second grandmother found out the nightingale clearly.
The nightingale is not the son of the Qin Mansion, his father and mother are farmers, and he has an elder brother. Because the family couldn't go on, he was sold into the house by his father and mother to become a maid when he was ten years old. As soon as the nightingale entered the mansion, she was on duty in Qin Yu's courtyard, first as a third-class maid for sprinkling and sweeping, and later when the Fang family saw that she was clever and careful, he promoted her to the second class and asked her to serve Qin Yu's daily life. After Qin Yu's eldest maid got married, the nightingale became the first-class maid by Qin Yu's side.
When asked about Nightingale's loyalty to Qin Yu, no one doubted it. Although Nightingale is young, she and the nurse Hu take care of Qin Yu's affairs in an orderly manner, and Qin Yan is also very close to her. Some people joked that Nightingale was going to be an aunt in the future.
For a maid, the future is bright.
If Qin Yu doesn't have an accident.
After Qin Yu's accident, the nightingale insisted that it was Shen who pushed Qin Hao into the water.
Climbing the housewife to kill people, this is a big deal. When everyone was about to interrogate them, the nightingale hanged herself in her room, and Hu disappeared.
"Where is her family?"
The second grandmother said: "Moved away." ”
Qin E was surprised: "Moved away, where did you move to?"
"Nobody knows, it was said that they moved out overnight. When the Chinese New Year's Eve Ying died, the government gave them ten taels of silver to bring the corpse back, and the family moved away within a few days. ”
Qin E's heart sank.
Nightingale can be said to be a little unclear about his death, and his family is afraid that the forces of the Qin Mansion will not dare to say anything, which may be reasonable. But it was unusual, just a few days after receiving the body, to move in a hurry, and not to tell anyone. I'm afraid I learned some secrets and moved away to avoid trouble.
According to Xia Zhu, the nightingale and Granny Hu saw Qin Yan's fall into the water clearly, but the nightingale deliberately said that it was her mother who pushed Qin Hao into the water. At first, Qin E thought that maybe it was because the nightingale was afraid of being held accountable for her carelessness, so she climbed indiscriminately. Later, he blamed himself or was afraid, and committed suicide in fear of sin.
But when Natsutake recalls that Nightingale was the only one who had ever seen a purchase order, she completely disproved the idea.
The nightingale must have premeditated to kill Qin Yu and blame her mother!
Although it is still uncertain, Qin E believes that the poison of the 'Water Lotus' was also given to Qin Yan by the nightingale! The nightingale is Qin Hui's side, and Qin Yan's diet and medicine are all under her control, and it is too easy to poison it unknowingly.
But according to what the second grandmother heard, the nightingale not only had no enmity with the Fang clan, but was also very loyal to Qin Yu. What was it that made her so ruthless that she was bent on killing a child?
Who is behind her?
All of Qin E's inferences came to an impasse, and at this moment, Wenchang sent a letter, and Granny Hu, who had been missing for many years, was found!
