Chapter 189 Mrs. Xun's Plea for Help

"Oh, that's right, when Lord Huo Xi and Lord Xiao Jue came over just now, I was in the back cooking room, boiling soup for adults. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info "Qing Ji smiled, and after listening to Mrs. Xun explain this, she walked over to us and said. "Just now, when I went to send the decoction over, I happened to meet Lord Xiao Jue, and I realized that Lord Huo Xi had also come to the mansion, so I thought that I would not disturb Lord Xiao Jue's diagnosis and treatment first, so I hereby came over and saluted Lord Huo Xi."

Qing Ji still calls me Lord Huo Xi.

Did Xiao Jue tell her, I'm here? Then Xiao Jue must know that after Qing Ji heard that I came here, she would come to see me in person. This is equivalent to Xiao Jue deliberately arranging for Qing Ji to come over.

Why? What is it that makes Xiao Jue think that it is necessary to see Qing Ji now?

I have clearly told Xiao Jue that this time I am here to ask Mrs. Xun about the details of the case of Yuanyi, Xiao Jue knows that the appearance of other people will disrupt our questioning, so it is impossible for him to let Qing Ji come over for no reason. Unless there is a specific reason......

"It's nothing, I heard a report this morning, saying that Lord Yu Yin was abandoned in front of the mansion gate at night and was unconscious. So I thought that with Xiao Jue's medical skills, maybe I could help something, so I rushed with him. "I didn't tell her, in fact we got the news in the middle of the night, but it was inconvenient to come at night. Seeing that their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked a little more relaxed, I asked, "By the way......

"Mother......" Before she finished speaking, Qing Ji seemed to be unconscious, and spoke at the same time as me, we were both stunned for a moment, and then Qing Ji nodded to me before continuing to Mrs. Xun, "Mother, you should be tired, otherwise, go back and rest first." ”

Mrs. Xun lowered her head and sighed, "Yes, it's old...... " She looked at me, and said to Qing Ji, "Then it's up to you to entertain Mrs. Xiao, and don't neglect the Lord Xiao Jue who treats Yu'er." ”

"Yes, Mother. Qing Ji knows......" Qing Ji responded.

They didn't seem to give me a chance at all, let me ask anything more, and Qing Ji sent Mrs. Xun away. After a short time, Qing Ji returned to the hall, as if to explain, "Mother didn't rest well last night, and I ask Lord Huo Xi to forgive me." ”

"Last night, was it because of Lord Yin?" I asked, as she meant.

Aohime nodded, "Yes." I heard that it was late at night last night, and the whole house was probably resting, but suddenly someone knocked on the door. The doorkeeper went to open the door to see, but there was no one outside the door, so he thought that whose child was messing around, but when he returned to the room, not long after he fell asleep, the voice came again, and the doorkeeper was in a hurry, so he went with a stick, and opened the door, but there was still no one outside the door. But this time the doorkeeper did not go back directly, but stayed at the door, he closed the door, hid in the doorway and listened, trying to catch the foolish child......"

However, after closing the door, the more the man thought about it, the more wrong it became, for in the middle of the night, the adults were asleep, and it was impossible for any children to wander outside on the street, knocking on the door and playing pranks. The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became, so at this time, the man guarding the door was also scared in his heart, and later, he really heard the movement outside, but he didn't dare to open the door directly to see what was going on outside, so he scared himself, thinking that it was a ghost. Even if it was only through a door, he didn't dare to take the liberty of looking at it. Until there was no movement outside, the man guarding the door mustered up the courage to open the door, and then found Lord Yu Yin who had fallen into a coma outside the door......

"I see." After listening to Aohime's description, I actually had some understanding in my heart. I know who the person who kidnapped Lord Yu Yin is, so the person who sent him back with a trick can naturally think of who it is.

"Just now, before I came in, I seemed to hear that Lord Huo Xi was talking to his mother about Iris, I wonder if there is progress in the case of Iris, can Lord Huo Xi find out who killed Iris?" Aohime asked anxiously.

"Yuanyi's case is under investigation, so I need to add some clues before I come to ask Mrs. Xun about what happened that day." I slowly calmed down. "At that time, Mrs. Qingji was locked up in the side garden, so I shouldn't be very clear about the things in the mansion."

Qing Ji naturally understood the meaning of my words, she smiled lightly, and then replied, "After the accident with Yuanyi, my mother was worried that I wouldn't be able to think about it, so I looked for a short time, and since then, she has often come to see me, and talked to me for a long or short time. In this way, it can be regarded as because of the care that I received, which made me suddenly understand that in fact, my mother is just a helpless poor person like me. We talked a lot, even what my mother knew, about Kite. ”

"Really?" If you say this...... "However, Mrs. Qingji also knows that when Yuan Yi entered this mansion, she once concealed herself and her mother from everyone, is it a matter of a female slave in Lord Huaining's mansion?" Mrs. Xun said just now that she only found out about this later, when she adopted Yuanyi, Yuanyi's mother passed away in the village, and it was Yuanyi's aunt who asked Mrs. Xun for help and told Yuanyi's pity, so Mrs. Xun would take Yuanyi in. It's just that since Yuan Yi and her mother are both female slaves in Lord Huaining's mansion, how could they return to the village? ”

"Lord Huo Xi, I don't know if you have gone to my house to check, if you have been, you will know, about five years ago, my grandmother passed away due to a serious illness, my father was very sad, he also obeyed his grandmother's wish before she died, and will take care of her grandmother until her grandmother's death...... When her grandmother was seriously ill, she had been taking care of her bedside, and after her husband passed away, her own health was not good, so when her grandmother was dying, she asked her father to give them a sum of money and send them back to their hometown in the countryside to live a peaceful life. Aohime seemed to remember it suddenly.

Therefore, Yuan Yi and her mother-in-law were able to be freed from the status of slave girls in the mansion because of their meritorious work in taking care of Lord Huaining's mother?

"As for why Kite Yi didn't mention it to anyone, I don't know, I don't even know that Kite Yi's mother has passed away." Although Aohime deliberately guarded against me, her tone still unconsciously revealed confusion. "Since they left their father's mansion, I haven't heard from their mother and daughter, and my father just said that they should return to the countryside with a good life, thinking that under the care of Yuanyi, her mother's illness may have a chance to improve."

After Yuanyi's mother and daughter left Lord Huaining's mansion, they lost contact with Qingji.

Here, something is not right.

Even if there is a difference between dignity and inferiority, they belong to the mansion that left with merit and perfection, and it was at the behest of the deceased old lady that they got a sum of money and left the mansion to live a good life. It's not the mansion that escaped, and the relationship with the mansion should be good, so even if their mother and daughter leave the mansion, even occasionally, it's reasonable to go back and see. What's more, the relationship between Iris Yi and Qingji grew up together since childhood, and they are like sisters...... Why did their relationship with Lord Huaining's mansion seem to have suddenly broken off after they left?

Moreover, after the death of her mother, because of her depressed situation, she was begged by her aunt to be taken in by Mrs. Xun...... There seems to be a big discrepancy between what Qing Ji said about getting a large sum of money to return to the countryside to recuperate.

"Oh?" As soon as I looked up, I suddenly noticed the wrong strap on Aohime's placket.

"I was busy guarding the Lord today, but I didn't notice that this strap was tied incorrectly." Qing Ji lowered her head in a voice, and also found this mistake, laughing a little embarrassedly, while untying the wrong strap and re-tying it, she said with something in her words, "This strap is tied wrong, you can still untie it and retie it, but if you are wrong in life, will you still have a chance to return to your original position?" ”

There was something subtle in my heart.

But when she raised her head again, the strange tone just now seemed to be gone.

"The relationship between Mrs. Qingji and Lord Yuyin seems to be good." I say.

Qing Ji was slightly stunned, and then calmed down, "Although I came here as a marriage and became the wife of an adult. But as soon as I arrived in Xinguo, there was such a thing, and in this year or so, thanks to the care of adults, I was lucky to live to this day. ”

……

"Mrs. Xiao." When I pushed Xiao Jue and was about to leave the mansion, I chased a maid out of the mansion, I stopped when I heard the sound, and looked back at the girl, her appearance was very unfamiliar, from my memory alone, it seemed that I had no impression of her.

She chased her out of the courtyard, holding a silk handkerchief in her hand. "Mrs. Xiao, your things have fallen."

At first glance, I knew that it was not mine, and I was about to open my mouth to deny what the maid had handed me, when I suddenly felt that her expression was different, as if to remind me to pay attention to the people around me. I hesitated for a moment, touched my body, and said, "It seems that my handkerchief is indeed missing, and the ...... in your hand"

The maidservant was able to avoid the gaze of the gatekeeper, chased after her, and whispered a word as she handed her the veil. "Mrs. Xiao, help."

I was about to take the veil when I was startled at first hearing her say this.

When I looked up again, the maidservant had her back to the people in the mansion and stared at me with a pair of pleading eyes, as if she were conveying some kind of message.

"Huo Xi, why are you so careless, you actually dropped your veil. Why don't you say thank you? When you can't find the veil when you go back, you should lose your temper with me again. Xiao Jue turned his head sideways, although his expression was as indifferent as usual, but his breath was not quite right.

The maid's gaze was clearly begging me to take the veil.

But...... There was a strange smell, as if it had come from the handkerchief she had handed her. I took the handkerchief, "Then thank you, girl, fortunately she sent it." ”
