At this time, the subordinate who was standing behind the rockery with Mama Xue was indeed Wang Qi.

Coincidentally, that day, Mama Xue listened to Xu Ziqi's words, and immediately sent people along the road where Wang Qi left to kill him, but she didn't want Wang Qi to sneak back to the shogunate again.

He was also lucky, this time he came back, just escaped the pursuit of those killers and saved his life.

This Wang Qi is mediocre, no father, no mother, no wife and no children, typical one person eats enough for the whole family and is not hungry, he has no other hobbies on weekdays, he just likes to gamble with others.

He is a person, as soon as he gets the monthly money, he must go to the gambling workshop to play, but he is a very bad luck, almost all lost, but he is still an unbeliever, thinking that feng shui takes turns, and it will always be his turn to win money, so he often loses a fine light, and is kicked out of the gambling workshop by thugs.

It just so happened that on the morning of the poisoning, he had just gambled and lost this month's monthly money, and he was depressed, so after Mama Xue gave him the silver, his hand itched again, and he just walked out of ten miles with the silver, he really couldn't resist the temptation of gambling, so he gritted his teeth, and then folded back and entered the gambling workshop.

Mama Xue gave him a lot of silver, as much as five hundred taels, so his gamble was half a month, until the money in hand was lost cleanly, and he was kicked out by the gambler-fang thugs, he stood at the door and scolded, angry and depressed, and then remembered Mama Xue, and as soon as his eyes rolled, he had an idea.

-- He thought that he could not do this for more than five hundred taels, so he pondered to ask for more silver.

Returning to the shogunate, Wang Qi knew that he couldn't be bumped into him, so he lowered his head all the way, and went around to the place where the girls in the backyard lived, he helped Mama Xue do things for the past two months, and he would come over several times a month, so he was very familiar.

Avoiding the others and coming to the house where Mama Xue lived, Wang Qi raised his hand and was about to knock on the door, when he heard the sound of footsteps behind him, he turned his head in shock, and saw Mama Xue looking at him in surprise, with a very strange expression.

patted his chest, Wang Qi breathed a sigh of relief: "Mama, why didn't you make a sound, you almost scared the little one to death." "If it were anyone else, he'd be finished.

"Why are you back again?" Answering the question, Mama Xue suppressed the panic in her heart, looked left and right, and saw that a few maids came not far away, and hurriedly signaled to Wang Qi, "Lower your head and follow me." ”

Wang Qi naturally saw the maid who was coming, so he temporarily swallowed the words he was about to say into his stomach, buried his head down, and walked out behind Mama Xue with a hunched body.

Mama Xue came with Xu Ziqi, it has been more than ten years in a blink of an eye, she is an old man in the house, and she is fierce and difficult to get along with on weekdays, so when the maids saw that it was Mama Xue who was coming towards her, they all stopped talking, stepped aside, and let the two of them go first.

Bringing people all the way to the garden, Mama Xue saw that there was no one around, so she led Wang Qi into the corner, and asked sharply with the help of the rockery, "Didn't you leave the capital overnight?" ”

Mu Ziling almost died of poison, Mu Jiyan was furious, and he gave an order that night, this matter must be strictly investigated and thoroughly investigated, and at least Miss Ye in the house, down to the little maid, must be questioned and investigated, and would rather kill by mistake than let go.

As soon as this order was given, the housekeeper summoned all the subordinates in the mansion on the second day, inquired one by one, and soon found a few subordinates who were on duty for Mu Ziling last night, but there was still one person missing, and this person was Wang Qi.

Except for Wang Qi, none of these subordinates were poisoners, and none of them had ever touched the incense burner—all of them could testify to each other.

In this way, Wang Qi has the biggest suspicion.

Wang Qi absconded in fear of crime, and Mu Jiyan began to order someone to look for him as soon as he heard the housekeeper's report, but after looking for half a month, there was no trace of him, if the people in the house saw Wang Qi at this moment, it would be terrible.

At this time, they didn't know that in the pavilion opposite, Mu Ziling had already seen them, and Ah Lin was rushing towards them with someone.

Even though Mama Xue looked fierce, Wang Qi was not afraid of her, he was young and strong, how could an old woman tolerate him: "Mama Xue, the little one came back this time to ask you for silver again." ”

Mama Xue looked at him, frowned, and said in her heart that this person was insatiable, if it wasn't for the fact that no one was available for a while, she would definitely not find him: "Even if you don't do anything in the future, five hundred taels is enough for you to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life." The implication is that no more money will be given.

Wang Qi ignored her, rubbed his hands, smiled, and his eyes narrowed, "You also know that I am a good gambler, and five hundred taels of silver is enough for me to gamble in the gambling house for a month...... And, Mama Xue, you probably don't know, in addition to being a good gambler, I also have a small problem, that is, once there is no silver in my pocket, my mouth can't be closed, and I like to say something when I see people, if I accidentally shake it out one day......"

Although his words were not completely spoken, the meaning was already very clear, and there were threats in and out of his words.

"What are you going to shake out, say?!" When Ah Lin rushed over, he happened to hear what Wang Qi said, and he hadn't finished it later, so he immediately jumped out and asked with round eyes.

The sudden insertion sound made Wang Qi and Mama Xue startled at the same time, and cold sweat broke out.

Wang Qi happened to be facing Ah Lin, he was also serving Mu Ziling, naturally he knew Ah Lin, he saw Ah Lin glaring at him, he knew that the other party had recognized him, his face changed greatly, and he subconsciously turned around and was about to run, but he just ran out not far before he was kicked down by the guards who caught up later and grabbed him.

Mama Xue saw that she was found out when she met Wang Qi, and her heart trembled, but she knew that she couldn't mess with herself, so she quickly turned around and saw Ah Lin squinting at herself, thoughtful, so she glanced at him as usual, her eyes were sharp, and she hid the uneasiness in her heart.

At the same time that Wang Qi was caught, a guard went directly to report to Mu Jiyan, while another guard grabbed Wang Qi and wanted to take him to the main hall.

Mu Ziling walked over from the pavilion, and saw Wang Qi being escorted by the guards, when he saw himself, there was obvious shock in his eyes, seeing such a look, Mu Ziling knew that this subordinate named Wang Qi must be the one who poisoned him.

Expressionlessly, he walked past Wang Qi and walked in front of Mama Xue, and Mu Ziling asked, "Mama Xue, you are not waiting by your mother's side, what are you doing in this garden rockery?" ”

Mama Xue was frightened, cold sweat broke out, but her face was still meticulous, and she lowered her eyebrows: "The old slave was about to serve his wife, but when he passed by here, this person suddenly appeared, grabbed the old slave and asked the old slave to give him silver, and the old slave didn't know this person." ”

Ah Lin listened, rolled his eyes, pursed his lips, and whispered: "Lied, obviously I know." ”

Although the voice was small, Mu Ziling stood close to Ah Lin and could hear it clearly, he looked at Mama Xue and said nothing, after a while, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and he shouted: "Mama Xue, let me ask you again, what are you doing here?" Why are you with this Wang Qi who is afraid of crime and absconding? ”

Mama Xue's face turned pale, pursed her lips, and buried her head lower, "The old slave still replied like that, please Gongzi Mingjian." ”

"Huh!" Glancing at Mama Xue's trembling hands, Mu Ziling sneered, "Since that's the case, Mama Xue will go to the main hall with me again, and explain to my father why you are here and why you are with Wang Qi!" After speaking, he asked the waiter on the side to grab Mama Xue.

"Childe, Madame is unwell, and the old slave still has to serve Madame." Her eyes flashed, and Mama Xue looked at Mu Ziling's back and lifted Xu Ziqi out.

She thought that Mu Ziling still respected Xu Ziqi very much, and loved Xu Ziqi as her biological mother, knowing that Xu Ziqi was unwell, she would definitely let herself go for this-

She needed to inform Madame first, so that she could prepare.

Hearing this, Mu Ziling didn't look back, but said indifferently: "Mother is unwell, naturally the doctor in the house is taking care of her, and it's not too late for Mama Xue to go with me to see my father before going back to take care of her." ”

Seeing this, Mama Xue's face turned completely white.
