Lu Qinghuan looked up and saw Xia Jinhua standing beside Liu Ming, her face was as calm as water, but there was a trace of compassion in her eyes.

"Sister?" Xia Yinhua's face changed slightly, didn't my sister say that she couldn't say it?

"Yinhua, Sister can't stand you...... Sister shouldn't let you lie......" Xia Jinhua sighed, followed behind Liu Ming, and walked in.

Seeing Lu Qinghuan looking at him, Liu Ming's face was full of shame, although he didn't do anything favoritism, but appearing here with the Xia family in such a grand manner always made him feel a little weak.

Under Lu Qinghuan's clear eyes, Liu Ming said stiffly: "Lu Niangzi, Xia Niangzi has something to confess, so I brought her over!" ”

While he was talking, Xia knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Lin County Ling and said, "The concubine didn't deliberately conceal this matter, please ask Lin County Ling to be tolerant." ”

Lin Xianling didn't ask about Xiao Dalang's case, and he didn't know much about the situation at this time, so he glanced at Lu Qinghuan, saw her nodding at him, and said, "Say it!" ”

Xia Shi kowtowed again, and said in a hoarse voice: "The concubine did not go back to her parents' house yesterday, but lived in the Guanyin Temple of Sending Children. ”

"What?" Liu Ming was shocked, he had obviously seen the Xia family yesterday, why did she say that she hadn't returned to her parents' house at all?

Xia Shi glanced up at Liu Ming next to him, lowered his neck, revealing a large patch of white skin on the back of his neck, and she smiled bitterly, "What Liu Lang saw yesterday must be the concubine's sister Yinhua." Not daring to look at Liu Ming's expression again, Xia said lightly: "Yesterday I wanted to go to the Guanyin Temple to pray for blessings, at the gate of the Guanyin Temple, I poured a bowl of medicine into the coachman, and when he woke up, there was only Yinhua in the car, and then Yinhua pretended to be with me, and let the coachman send out of the city." Later, I was worried about revealing a flaw, so I asked Yinhua to drive the coachman back halfway, so that no one would suspect that I had not returned to my parents' house but had gone to the temple of Guanyin. ”

Hearing this, Lu Qinghuan frowned slightly, and sure enough, she felt strange before, why she heard someone talking in the carriage of Xiao Mansion at the city gate, but no one responded, it was because Xia Yinhua was the only one in the car, and then Xia Yinhua pretended that Xia Jinhua instructed the coachman to return to the city, went home alone, and then pretended to be Xia Jinhua and let Liu Ming see it as an alibi.

What Xia said was similar to what Lu Qinghuan guessed, but Lu Qinghuan didn't believe her statement that she stayed in Guanyin Temple for one night.

"You said you stayed in the Guanyin Temple for one night, but can someone prove it?"

Xia nodded, "I made an appointment with Master Huiming of Guanyin Temple yesterday, and she can testify for me." ”

"Guanyin Temple is not very far from Xiao Mansion, why don't you go back to Xiao Mansion but live in Guanyin Temple? Why do you have to lie and say that you went back to your parents' house? Lu Qinghuan stared at Xia Jinhua, wanting to see the flaws in the expression on her face.

I don't know if Xia Shi is calm and fearless, there is not the slightest expression of weakness on his face, but he just shows a kind of self-pity sadness, "Because...... Because I want to ask Guanyin to give me a child......"

Isn't Xiao Dalang infertile? Why did Xia still ask for a son? This argument is so counterintuitive!

Xia Jinhua obviously knew that she was a little reluctant, so she said: "That's because Da Lang has been taking medicine to regulate the body these days, so I want to ask Guanyin, hoping that the medicine can have some effect......"

Before Lu Qinghuan could speak, Xia Yinhua on the side hurriedly said, "Sister didn't lie!" She told me that I wanted to go to the temple to pray for a night, and I didn't want others to know about it, so as not to be laughed at, so I pretended to go back to the village with her......"

Xia Jinhua took out the clay doll in her sleeve and presented it to Lu Qinghuan, "This is a gift from Master Huiming yesterday, if you don't believe it, just check it!" ”

This clay doll is the one that Lu Qinghuan picked up before, and later learned from the nun of the Guanyin Temple that it was only distributed yesterday, and she suspected that Xia Jinhua went to the Guanyin Temple yesterday.

As for the alibi she said, Lu Qinghuan was not in a hurry, because she sent someone to the Guanyin Temple early in the morning, and waited for someone to come back to tell her.

Lu Qinghuan smiled and glanced at Liu Ming quietly, "I sent someone to ask a long time ago, but I learned from Master Huiming that she went to your room to check last night and found that you were not in the room." ”

Her tone was a little cold, and even her eyes were a little stern, which made Xia Jinhua, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly frightened, she bit her lip, "Maybe I happened to go to the toilet at that time, so I didn't see me......"

"But I heard," Lu Qinghuan raised his eyebrows, and looked at Xia Jinhua with a suspicious look, "The thatched toilet of the Guanyin Temple was sent to the Zi Guanyin Temple that night because the roof beams and pillars suddenly collapsed and needed to be repaired, so it was not used at all, I don't know which thatched toilet Xia Niangzi went to?" ”

"No...... It's impossible to ......" The expression on Xia Jinhua's face finally changed a little, a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes, and her throat was hoarse, "Impossible, I obviously ......"

"Obviously stayed at the Guanyin Temple all night, right?" Lu Qinghuan interrupted Xia's words and said coldly: "But I obviously found out that you were not in the Guanyin Temple at all, you must have been in Xiao Dalang's study at that time, right?" ”

"You ......" Xia Jinhua looked at Lu Qinghuan angrily, her chest rose and fell violently, and the hatred in her eyes seemed to burn her through.

Liu Ming and Xia Yinhua, who had not spoken all this time, were also full of shock, and they didn't believe what Lu Qinghuan said, because according to what she said, it could only be Xia Jinhua who killed Xiao Dalang.

After being silent for a long time, Xia Jinhua suddenly asked Lu Qinghuan: "Why do you think that I am the murderer of Xiao Dalang?" ”

Lu Qinghuan shook his head and smiled lightly, "From the beginning, I was full of doubts about you. ”

Seeing that several people in the room seemed to have cast their eyes, Lu Qinghuan's smile widened a little, "Yesterday I saw you and Xia Yinhua in the verandah, Xia Yinhua's soles were stained with mud, and there was still dew on the uppers, but your shoes were clean and spotless, and then I asked Xia Yinhua, did she go back to her parents' house with you, do you remember her answer?" Seeing that Xia was stunned, Lu Qinghuan continued: "What she said is that you are going home with her, not her going home with you. Although there seems to be no difference between the two, except that the subject is changed, it is usually the result of a person lying in order to emphasize something. ”

Lu Qinghuan is not nonsense, psychologically speaking, this situation is indeed the case, presumably Xia Yinhua had already thought of the question about whether the two of them went home together in advance, but the answer she kept in mind did not match Lu Qinghuan's question, and she didn't realize it herself.
