Chapter 6: The Monosyllabic Girl
Xu Nian didn't expect to see the person who witnessed her murder that night, so she was a little flustered when she looked at him looking at her with a smile on his face.
So what's the point of smiling at her?
Why did he come with someone from the government, didn't he say that he didn't know anything, or that he was here to help her. Xu Nian thought quickly in his mind. Could it be that he is also an official? It's no wonder that when I saw him that day, he felt extraordinary, and he was definitely born in a family that was either rich or noble.
"Nian'er, come here." The main grandmother suddenly said in a calm voice, "Lord Chen has something to ask you." ”
Xu Nian stopped his thoughts, nodded slowly, walked slowly in front of Chen Renhe, and gave a quick salute: "The little girl asked Lord Chen." ”
Chen Renhe wanted to embarrass her, but it was because of this little girl that Xie Changan came to beg him.
But Xie Changan in the back looked at him with "burning" eyes, he was not good at this time.
"Get up, Miss Xu, I can ask you, you said that you went to the kitchen to get the medicine that night, right?" His tone was very stiff.
"Yes." The girl nodded obediently, her eyes bright, and she replied softly.
"Then you said it was before the unitary time, right?" Chen Renhe asked again.
"Yes." The girl still said in monosyllabics. Say too many mistakes, try not to say a few more words, maybe you will be found in the wrong place.
Xie Changan's eyes kept staring at her, which made Xu Nian a little depressed, why did this person keep looking at her, she didn't feel anything when she was looked at by others, but when she was looked at by him, she felt uncomfortable all over.
She's so good-looking today, Xie Changan smiled, she didn't seem to be so well-behaved when she first saw her, right? All he had on his mind was these things.
Xu Nian is very good-looking, in addition to the frightening white face, he also knows that Xu Nian seems to have been sentenced to death after birth, she can only live to be twenty-five years old, he feels very sorry for this girl, so there is a look of pity on his face.
"Xu Xin held his breath before the unitary time, and you said that you didn't have the time to commit the crime, because you said that you delivered pastries in the yard of your grandmother when you were you, and there were two witnesses, Xiao Wan and Xiao Yu and your personal maid Western Australia."
"That's what's suspicious. Why do you want to deliver pastries at the time of the unitary, I heard from the people of the temple that Mrs. Xu would take a break before the time of the company on weekdays, you won't know about it, right? What's more, you have never sent any pastries to Mrs. Xu before. Except for the daily greetings, you hardly go out. ”
"The second suspicion is that you seem to have been there in the kitchen. I asked the night watchman in the house, and he said that he had seen you in the kitchen with his own eyes, and you said that you were going to get medicine, but according to what he said, he did not see you holding medicine, and Miss Xu, you are also very motivated to commit the crime. After the death of your parents, the Xu family lived in the Xu family, which is called taking care of you when you are young, but in fact, getting up early is also occupying your home, don't you have any hatred? ”
This is very straightforward, the old lady next to her frowned, she is displeased, they are the authentic children of the Xu family, what's wrong with entering this house?
Xu Nian listened carefully to his analysis, and couldn't help but speak: "Lord Chen, there is something wrong with your analysis." She was not as anxious as the average person was identified as a murderer, but was calm.
"I really didn't know that the main grandmother had fallen asleep at that time, and besides, no one should know about this rule except for the people in the Divination Academy, right?"
"On weekdays, I was afraid of disturbing the purity of the old man's house, so I rarely went to the temple to ask for peace. Who would have thought that taking a box of self-made pastries and going to see the grandmother would be mistaken for impure motives? It's suspicious, could it be that I went there to make an alibi? In this way, people don't dare to do filial piety anymore, and I Xu Nian only deserves to stay in the Songnuan Pavilion, the door is not out, and the second door is not stepping, so that everyone will be satisfied? ”
Xu Nian coughed excitedly, and Western Australia hurriedly helped her tighten her clothes and smooth her back. Xu Nian's eyes were filled with tears, and his fawn-like pure eyes seemed to be frightened, which made people feel pity.
The tears of beauty are the most distressing if they don't fall.
"Miss Xu, don't worry, speak slowly." Xie Changan saw that her face was pale and her eyes were red, and he couldn't help but feel distressed in his heart. He glanced at Chen Renhe lightly and motioned for him to restrain himself, but Chen Renhe touched his nose and pretended not to see it. He had no choice but to look at Xu Nian helplessly.
Xu Nian's ability to open her eyes and tell nonsense is real...... Very good, the little girl is really interesting. Xie Changan couldn't help but think in his heart.
Xie Changan couldn't tell Chen Renhe the facts, he clearly knew the pedantry and justice in Chen Renhe's bones. If he knew that Xu Nian was the murderer of Xu Xin, he would not care why Xu Nian killed Xu Xin, and he would not spare her life in his face.
Although Chen Renhe loves him and cherishes him, in the final analysis, it is for his father's face. His father and Chen Renhe are very good friends, and Xie Changan will also call Uncle Chen in private.
He didn't dare to bet on Xu Nian's affairs, and besides, he promised her what to say and what not to say. The little girl is so small and so cute, of course you can't leave her alone.
Xu Nian is a good girl, at least in his eyes, they are the same kind of people.
Xu Nian lowered his voice and said, "Thank you." She didn't know who he was or who his last name was, so she didn't bring a title.
The grandmother looked at the handsome young man as if she was familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was for a while.
"Miss Xu, what do you say about the little guy's testimony?" Chen Renhe still looks serious and indifferent in handling cases. Regardless of Xie Changan's reminder to him.
Stinky boy, don't be soft-hearted when you see women, you don't know what they think in their hearts, maybe this little girl is a femme fatale, beauty fragrance, hero mound, maybe Xie Changan will be injured by this little girl in the future, and the injured body is incomplete, so you will know to turn back...... Chen Renhe thought of this in his heart and sighed helplessly.
"That little guy was already panicking, how did he know that I didn't really go to get the medicine? I was sick at that time, and I didn't have much time to deal with a subordinate, so I told him to go down. Could it be that I, a boudoir lady, still want to share a room with him, let him take a closer look at whether I am decocting medicine? ”
"Grandma, grandson is wronged."
Xu Nian's words are prickly but reasonable, and with her pitiful appearance, I really feel pity.
The main grandmother couldn't get used to her, so she snorted coldly: "Nian'er, cooperate well with Master Chen, don't play tricks." ”
Xu Nian expected her to say this, but she didn't react much, and continued to cough lightly with her head down.
Chen Renhe looked at the attitude of this grandmother towards Xu Nian, and he also knew it in his heart.
He didn't suspect Xu Nian, the little girl was powerless, and she was so soft and weak, at most, she would poison and harm herself, how could she dare to really use the knife?
However, this old lady Xu sent someone to stuff a note to him, which listed all kinds of evidence that Xu Nian might be the murderer of Xu Xin.
This gave him an extra slap in the face. But this time, this old lady is afraid that she just wants her granddaughter in the outer room to be convicted and die in order to find a way out for her own grandchildren, right?
He was annoyed when he thought about these pickled things. So the tone was even worse: "Miss Xu, let me ask you again, did you have a complaint against Xu Xin's family in your heart, and you killed Xu Xin in your heart?" ”
Xu Nian smiled miserably: "Lord Chen, the little girl has been lonely since she was a child, and she is fortunate to be taken care of by her uncle's family, otherwise I don't know where I am at this time, how can I complain and kill my eldest uncle who is usually very good to me?" ”
Seeing the little girl's very sad appearance, he was a little touched in his heart, and he couldn't help nodding and comforting: "You don't have to worry too much, this is just a routine inquiry, and you are only one of the suspects, since you can say these things clearly, then you can reduce some suspicions." ”
Seeing that things were not going as she thought, the main grandmother's face suddenly darkened.
She couldn't guess wrong, could it be that Xu Nian was really not the murderer of my son?
"Lord Chen, you don't have to comfort me, since I am suspicious, I will also ask myself to be grounded in Songnuan Pavilion, and the truth will be revealed when the matter is revealed." Xu Nian said softly.
She thought very clearly, the main grandmother would not let her go. She has already suspected her, she can't do anything today, and there will be thousands of plans in the future, and being grounded at this time is the best choice.
She never regretted killing Xu Xin, that man was not worthy of life, thinking of this, there was a moment of disgust in Xu Nian's eyes.
This emotion turned so fast that Xie Changan, who had been staring at her, didn't notice it.
Lord Chen glanced at Xie Changan, who had been silent, and Xie Changan nodded slightly, with a small margin.
"That's fine, you can stay in Songnuan Pavilion all the time."
After Xu Nian saluted, he was helped back by Western Australia. The pace is light, and it staggers as if it can fall down at any moment.
In the past, she just wanted to live, but Xu Xin's family didn't want her to live well, so you don't blame me for going against you.
I would have turned my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shone on the ditch.
"Master Chen, do you have any ideas? It's been two days. Old Madam Xu couldn't help but urge.
"Mrs. Xu, handling the case is not a trick, you can end it when you want, I also know that you are thoughtful, but you can't do things in a foolish way, if you don't trust me, you can find someone again." Chen Renhe couldn't get used to her style, so he said bluntly.
Mrs. Xu was anxious: "My lord, the old body doesn't mean that, since Lord Chen doesn't have an idea yet, I'll wait a few more days." ”
Xiao Wan puffed out his cheeks beside him and whispered to Xiao Yu: "Look at how this Lord Chen speaks, the old lady just urged and then had a lot to say, he can." ”
Xiao Yu replied disapprovingly: "Xiao Yun, there is no matter what is right and wrong, Lord Chen has his own considerations, and the old lady is also excusable, you just know this." ”
Their voices were not loud, but Chen Renhe, who had been practicing martial arts, could hear it clearly, and he admired this little gardenia very much.
Although he was serious, he would not grab the little girl's pigtails. After saying goodbye to the old lady, he took a group of people back to the mansion.
