Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Murder of the Lord

"Wronged...... The servant didn't kill Ah Lang......" Wutong said softly, his hands folded in front of his abdomen, trembling slightly, and looking very scared.

"Then why did you sneak around just now? Where did you come from? ”

Lu Qinghuan's tone was stern, and Wutong trembled, so he couldn't bear the fear in his heart, and cried bitterly: "Yes...... It's because the maid left something in Ah Lang's room...... So he climbed in through the courtyard wall and tried to find ......"

Hearing this, Lu Qinghuan motioned for Liu Ming to take out the earrings, "Let's see, is this such a thing?" ”

Wutong raised his head as he said, glanced at the green hibiscus in Liu Ming's palm, his face was instantly pale as paper, and he nodded lightly.

A pair of high-grade green hibiscus earrings, at least ten taels of silver, Wutong's monthly money is only more than one tael, she spent half a year's monthly money to buy a pair of earrings that are exactly the same as the master, it is really a little strange, and what is even stranger is that this earrings also fell on Xiao Dalang's couch.

"Why are your earrings here? Could it be Xiao Dalang...... "Lu Qinghuan saw what secret Wutong was hiding, so he deliberately didn't finish her words and forced her to confess herself.

Sure enough, Wutong couldn't stand the fear in his heart, so he hurriedly explained: "That earring was given to the maid by Ah Lang...... The slave ...... last night accidentally landed here......" said and worried about setting himself on fire, and said hurriedly: "The maid really didn't kill Ah Lang, the maid left the study last night and went back to sleep in the lady's room." ”

Regarding what Wutong said, Lu Qinghuan did not express his attitude, but looked at Liu Ming and wanted to hear his opinion.

Liu Chao nodded to Lu Qinghuan, and then asked, "You said you left last night, can someone prove it?" ”

Wutong was stunned, every time she came to the study, Xiao Dalang would retire in advance, and no one would be waiting in the courtyard, how to come to witness? Hearing what Liu Ming said, Wutong had to shake his head, his face as white as gold paper.

"You didn't have any witnesses last night, and there was also physical evidence in the study to prove your appearance, now that the evidence is conclusive, what else can you say?"

Lu Qinghuan frowned, Liu Ming had already concluded that Wutong was the murderer of Xiao Dalang? However, the cause of Xiao Dalang's death has yet to be verified, and it seems a bit arbitrary to determine that Wutong is the murderer just because she appeared in the study. It seems that it is related to the Xia family, which somewhat affects his judgment.

Looking at the appearance of the sycamore, although the peach eyes are autumnal, but the eyebrows are straight, the tip of the nose is round and blunt, it can be seen that its mind is not deep, and its timid like a mouse, has not been scolded and cried, how can such a person do cruel things to kill? What's more, as she said, if she and Xiao Dalang teach and receive it privately, why kill people?

It is true that physiognomy can only be used as a reference, but it cannot be used as the basis for judging a case, and what is needed for judging a case is evidence.

Wutong can't produce evidence to prove her innocence, so she can only be taken into custody as a suspect.

Lu Qinghuan looked at Wutong with a calm face, and said coldly: "Wutong, I'll give you one last chance, what are you hiding, if you say it, you may be able to prove your innocence." ”

Wutong's shoulders kept trembling, and the hands folded in front of his abdomen kept picking the handkerchief in his hand, and Sakura's lips were pursed, as if she was still struggling with whether to say it or not.

In the end, he couldn't resist the fear in his heart, bit his lip, and said, "The servant will never kill Ah Lang...... Because...... Because the servant broke Alang's child......"

"You're lying!"

A hoarse voice suddenly came in, Lu Qinghuan and Liu Ming looked up, but saw Xia standing in the backlight, there was no blood on his thin cheeks, his eyes were red and swollen, and the whole person seemed to be haggard as if a gust of wind could blow it away.

Seeing Lu Qinghuan and Liu Ming coming over, she saluted, "I've seen Lu Niangzi and Liu Mingcha ......"

"What is the so-called matter when Xia Niangzi came?" Lu Qinghuan remembered that there was a tolerance guard at the gate of the courtyard, and the sycamore just climbed over the wall to come in, but how did this Xia come in?

Xia took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it to Lu Qinghuan: "It was Helan Langjun who sent a letter to the lady, and I happened to come to look for Wutong, so I brought it for the lady......"

It turned out to be a messenger......

Lu Qinghuan took the letter, did not open it in a hurry, put it in his arms, and then saluted and said goodbye to the Xia family.

"Doesn't Mrs. Lu look at it?" Xia's throat had not yet healed, and she had some difficulty speaking, she gasped softly, and continued: "Looking at that Langjun's appearance, it seems that she is a little anxious, will there be any urgent matter that needs to be told to the lady?" ”

Lu Qinghuan was stunned, since the first day he saw Helan, he had never had any other expression except for his expressionless face, could it be that wooden face also anxious? Thinking of this, Lu Qinghuan pursed his lips and smiled: "It's okay, it must be Xiao Dalang's autopsy results, it's not too late for me to go back and see it!" ”

Hearing this, a trace of strange love flashed in Xia's eyes, but it was quickly covered by her lowering eyelashes.

After putting away the letter, Lu Qinghuan glanced at Liu Ming, and saw that his expression was a little stiff, his eyes were dodgy, and he was not as firm as before, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly: The word love is not shallow......

Knowing that Liu Ming was embarrassed and inconvenient to ask, Lu Qinghuan saluted Xia, and then asked her, "Why do you say that Wutong lied?" ”

Listening to Lu Qinghuan's question, Xia's eyebrows were furrowed, his stomach was full of sadness, and he struggled for a long time before he whispered in shame: "That's because Lang Jun is suffering from a stubborn illness and can't give birth to offspring......"

Yes? Lu Qinghuan couldn't help but open his mouth, wouldn't Xiao Lu ......?

As if seeing through what Lu Qinghuan was thinking, Xia Shi said with a slight choked up: "Xiao Langjun is inherited by Lang Jun from his uncle's room, no one in Xiao Mansion knows about this matter, even I only learned about it not long ago......"

In this way, the fact that Wutong was pregnant with Xiao Dalang's child is a lie......

"W-What?" Presumably Wutong didn't know that it would be like this, she seemed to suddenly understand something, a handsome face was like ashes, and she opened her mouth to say something, but suddenly her eyes rolled and she fainted completely.

Knowing that it was no longer suitable to interrogate Wutong at this time, Lu Qinghuan ordered Liu Ming to send someone to send him back to the room, ask a doctor to check it, and send someone to strictly guard him to prevent him from escaping.

After getting Lu Qinghuan's order, Liu Ming nodded silently and walked outside.

Lu Qinghuan observed the two carefully, but saw that when Liu Ming passed by Xia's, his whole body was stiff, and even his breathing was chaotic, while Xia's on the other hand, he saw his eyelashes drooping, his head bowed silently, and his cheeks were flushed with red clouds. is so different from the normal appearance, even she, an outsider, can see that the relationship between the two is unbroken, no wonder it will be misunderstood that there is a personal relationship.

Lu Qinghuan was most afraid of seeing the pitiful appearance of a lover who had no dependents, so he said: "Liu Gongcha will go back first after finishing this matter, and try Wutong again tomorrow!" ”

Liu Ming nodded immediately, and suddenly disappeared from the sight of the two.
