Xu Zhihuan's face immediately sank, knowing that things were not so simple.

Then he asked the butler to summon him.

When I heard that it was Xufu who was invited, I agreed to the matter.

As a person who belongs to the county government, he first saw a salute.

Before Xu Zhihuan spoke, Xu Zhilan took a step forward and said, "Daddy, can you let me ask questions?" ”

After receiving the answer, she got up from her seat and asked the servant, "Dare to ask when you saw the deceased yesterday and what was the deceased's appearance?" ”

"Miss Hui's words, the villain arrived at three o'clock in Shen, and then I saw that the deceased was a man about fifty years old, about five feet three inches long, and he should be a Taoist priest in his attire."

Xu Zhilan nodded, her purpose was to test whether this was the person who the housekeeper had colluded with in advance.

She continued, "How did you find out the cause of the deceased's death?" Is there any physical evidence? ”

"The deceased's pupils on both sides were dilated, there was some bleeding in both eyes and face, cyanosis of the mouth, lips and ten nail beds, and edema in the lungs, so he died of poisoning."

He recalled for a moment and continued: "There are no other suspicious traces on the deceased's body, it should be poisoned in the diet, and the possibility of voluntary poisoning cannot be ruled out." ”

Nangong Qin's mother and daughter were a little nervous when they heard that the diet was poisonous, but their faces were calm and light.

"Right next to the deceased, a remnant of hook powder was found, wrapped in paper and apparently dropped on the ground after taking poison."

Leaving the paper bag at the scene of the crime was actually made by the old maid.

In this way, not only does there is no need to worry about the poison being found, but it can also confirm that Lao Dao died by suicide.

But from the words of the pretend, Xu Zhilan could not find any doubts, if modern technology is used, the fingerprints on the paper package can be compared, and the truth can be revealed immediately.

But Nangong Qin did a very clean job this time, so that people knew what was wrong, but there was no evidence to prove it.

Xu Zhilan sighed inwardly, and turned to Xu Zhihuan on the main throne and said, "Daddy, I've finished asking, and I haven't found anything suspicious." ”

As soon as Nangong Qin's mother and daughter heard this, they were overjoyed in their hearts-

You still want to catch our mistakes, you're still a little tender!

Xu Zhihuan didn't have anything to say, so he asked the housekeeper to send him away.

At this moment, someone came to report that Young Master Xu Feng had returned.

As soon as Xu Feng received the letter, he immediately hurried back home, thinking that he had made a special trip back to congratulate his father.

As soon as Xu Zhihuan heard that he was also back, it was good for everyone in the family to come to testify, so he asked his subordinates to summon him to the front hall.

Xu Feng only asked a few words about the situation with the subordinates in the mansion, and was called away by the subordinates.

As soon as he arrived in the antechamber, he found that the atmosphere was very wrong.

Didn't you say that my father won the battle? Why is there no celebration in the house, but the atmosphere is so solemn?

He looked at Nangong Qin standing in the hall in confusion, hoping to get some answer from her.

Nangong Qin glanced at him with relief and signaled him to be calm.

Now that her son is back, she has become full of confidence. Anyway, now that there is no evidence of death, there is nothing unusual about it, and Xu Zhihuan has no evidence, so he will not do anything to her.

"Since Feng'er is back, let's go to the study of the capital, and let's take care of the family affairs."

The people knew that this was to avoid them, and they all retreated with interest.

Coming to the study, there are Xu Zhihuan, Xu Zhilan, Nan Ke and Nangong Qin's mother and son, a total of six people, fortunately, the study is spacious enough to accommodate a few of them.

Xu Zhihuan glanced at his son, looked away again, and scolded: "Nothing else, I thought that after the expedition, it would be the most appropriate for you to hand over the affairs of the mansion to you, but I didn't expect you to be very confused!" actually made a good home, and it was a miasma! ”

Xu Zhihuan has rarely been so angry at her, Nangong Qin was uncomfortable, tears flowed loudly, while wiping tears, he couldn't help but misinterpret the facts, "It's the concubine who was confused for a while, and he would believe the old liar's nonsense, and now he has a ghost in his heart, and he feels that he can't escape a punishment, and it is more decent to choose to end it himself." ”

She sobbed a few times and continued: "It's useless to blame the concubine, since my sister left, it was the first time I took over the big and small affairs in the house, and I did something stupid for a while, I really ...... It's really shameless to see the old man......"

Nangong Qin cried very emotionally, as if she didn't say half a lie, anyway, no one debunked her lies, how innocent she described herself, it was not a matter of letting the upper and lower mouths touch.

Xu Zhilan coldly saw that Xu Zhihuan was about to be moved, and thought that he must not stop there.

remembered that yesterday Xu Zhihuan compared Nangong Qin with her mother, and had an idea for a while.

She said coldly, "The first time my aunt took over, everything was not done satisfactorily, and I don't know what to do in the future." When I think of my mother, everything in the house is very small, and it is also well managed, not to mention superstitious ghosts and gods, and not close to the family. ”

When Xu Zhihuan heard this, he understood that he was almost led astray by Nangong Qin, and immediately became angry, pointed at Nangong Qin and scolded: "In the past, I only thought that you were not sensible enough, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid!" If I hadn't arrived in time, wouldn't you have burned to death! ”

Nangong Qin paused and looked at him blankly.

Xu Ting couldn't wait to poke Xu Zhilan into hundreds of holes to vent her anger, obviously this matter was about to be opened, and the little slut just fell into the well at this time, it was really shameless!

When she thought about this, she didn't take the few things that hurt people's lives to heart at all, but blindly felt that Xu Zhilan was too hateful.

Subsequently, Xu Zhihuan announced that he would deprive Nangong Qin of his status as the housekeeper and mother, and let Nan Ke act on his behalf, and Xu Zhilan assisted.

Everyone was surprised, and Nangong Qin's eyes were about to fall.

Why let a hen that doesn't lay eggs take care of this?

Couldn't her son make Xu Zhihuan feel distressed?

Nangong Qin's heart was full of doubts and jealousy, if she wanted to say that she was not properly managed, the one who was not clean and the other was a yellow-haired girl who had not dried up.

Xufu is in the hands of the two of them, and sooner or later there will be no chaos!

Xu Zhilan looked at Nan Ke happily, her aunt is not fighting or grabbing, I don't know how much she has been oppressed secretly, and now she has finally come out.

Nan Ke was a little flustered, why did such a heavy burden fall on his shoulders?

She just wanted to excuse herself, but Xu Zhilan took the lead in speaking: "Third aunt, Daddy values you so much, don't let down Daddy's wishes." ”

She winked playfully at Nan Ke and said, "Besides, although I'm younger, I can let my aunt have someone to talk to in case of trouble, right?" I won't do anything bad, my aunt will be ordered with peace of mind. ”
