Chapter 53: Let Her Go
Ran Qiunian suddenly had a bold guess, if there was anyone in the women's school who could possibly sell themselves into the mansion like this, just to poison themselves, thinking about it, there would be only one person.
"Who does Nian'er think?"
Xiao Yin followed Ran Qiunian's meaning and asked, and Ran Qiunian reported the name with some uncertainty: "Ran Susu." ”
Without waiting for Xiao Yin to continue to speak, Ran Qiunian continued to talk to himself.
"Su Niang, Ran Susu, if you say so, maybe the two of them are really a little involved. Besides, Ran Susu was not hurriedly married to the village village that day, maybe the third aunt was moved by compassion and didn't drive people too far......"
The more Ran Qiu Nian talked, the more she felt that her guess was correct, if anyone hated her the most, Ran Susu would definitely be on the list. It's ridiculous that she hadn't thought about it before.
"Big brother, we'll send someone back to the house now to find Ran Susu's handwriting for comparison."
After asking the steward Dagui and the cook, Ran Qiunian and Xiao Yin began to send more people, and the soldiers were divided into two ways, on the one hand, they rushed back to Ran's mansion to find Ran Susu's handwriting for comparison, and on the other hand, they went to the village at the foot of the mountain to search for Su Niang's traces.
What Ran Qiunian didn't expect was that the traces of Ran Susu were really wiped out in the third room, and not even a word was left, and this clue was broken.
Fortunately, I found out where Ran Susu got married, which was not much different from what Ran Qiunian expected, in a village not far from the summer resort.
Ran Qiunian didn't hesitate, pulled Xiao Yin and rushed directly to the place he heard about. When they walked to this village and looked at the simple and dilapidated thatched hut in front of them, Ran Qiunian couldn't help but be a little suspicious.
"Does Ran Susu really live in this place?"
Thinking of Ran Susu's above-the-top temperament, Ran Qiunian could hardly imagine what it would be like for her to live in such a place.
"Big brother, why is the door of this courtyard locked, it's really unfortunate, it's just in time for people to be away."
Ran Qiunian fiddled with the door lock twice, and let go of his hand with some chagrin.
"Ask the surrounding residents first."
Xiao Yin glanced inside from the outside of the locked fence, a sealed well, a door that was also shackled, and the chaos of overgrown weeds in the yard, obviously, there had been no one living here for some time.
Ran Qiunian nodded, turned around and saw a lady who had just come back from digging wild vegetables outside, and hurriedly went up to stop someone, pointing to the thatched house behind her and asked.
"Auntie, let me ask you, are the people living in this house named Wang Mazi and Ran Susu? Where have they all gone? ”
The eldest lady glanced at Ran Qiunian and Xiao Yin, who had an extraordinary bearing behind her, and saw that both of them were well-dressed, so she immediately put away the impatience on her face and changed it to a courteous appearance.
"That family, some days no one lives, the man in that family is called Wang Mazi, the woman doesn't know what it's called, they, it's a well-known lazy thing in the village. Miss, what are you looking for them? ”
"Just ask casually, do you know when no one has been here?"
When Ran Qiunian heard that there was no one, his heart suddenly sank, could it be that the clue that he had found so hard to find was about to be broken again?
"Oops, I can't remember this, let me think about it......"
The eldest lady said that she couldn't remember, but her eyes glanced at Xiao Yin behind Ran Qiunian.
Ran Qiunian looked at her eyes, and immediately understood what she meant, it turned out that she was going to pay for the opening, so she turned around and walked in front of Xiao Yin with a funny smile, and stretched out her hand.
"Big brother, borrow some silver and use it."
Xiao Yin naturally saw what the eldest lady meant, he untied his money bag, gave it all to Ran Qiunian, and let her dispose of it. Ran Qiunian smiled and flipped the money bag in his hand: "I don't need so much." ”
As she spoke, she opened the money bag, picked out a tael of silver from it, returned the money bag to Xiao Yin, turned back to the eldest mother, and put the two pieces of silver in her hand in the expectant eyes of the eldest mother.
"Auntie, this is a little bit of our heart, please bother us to think about it carefully."
"Ah, I remember! I remember. The eldest lady stared at the silver in her hand and couldn't take her eyes off.
"That family has been gone for almost a month, and I heard that the woman of that family couldn't stand Wang Mazi's beating, so she secretly took the money and ran away while she was not at home. Wang Mazi must have gone to arrest someone, and no one had seen him anyway. ”
"Who knew that after so many days, neither of them ever came back."
Ran Qiunian nodded thoughtfully, thanked the eldest lady, and was about to leave here with Xiao Yin to take a look elsewhere, when he paused, turned back to the eldest lady who was still standing in place holding the silver and looking at it carefully.
"Auntie, I have to ask you to help us pay attention to the movements of this family, once someone comes back, go to the villa in front of us to report a message, we will be grateful."
After Ran Qiunian finished speaking, the eldest lady took her eyes off the silver, and looked at Ran Qiunian's eyes as if she was looking at the God of Wealth in the temple, and nodded again and again.
"Miss, just rest assured, I'll keep an eye on this for you."
Ran Qiunian and Xiao Yin left, and halfway, Ran Qiunian couldn't help but discuss with Xiao Yin: "Big brother, if it is according to what the eldest lady said, the time when Ran Susu left the village coincides with the time when the Su Niang mixed into the villa." ”
"I don't believe there are so many coincidences in the world, Ran Susu must be that Su Niang."
But I can't find anyone, no matter how much evidence there is, it's useless, Ran Qiunian is a little frustrated, she is really at odds with the Ran family, the two sisters are in discord, and they are all in trouble.
After returning to the villa, my grandmother asked about Ran Qiunian's harvest for a day, thinking of Ran Yinyin, who had just disappeared a few days ago, and didn't want to make my grandmother feel worse, so Ran Qiunian could only hide the speculation in her heart for the time being.
I thought that I would have to wait for many days to get Ran Susu's whereabouts, but who knew that this was the next day, and I received a report from my subordinates, saying that a lady in the village under the mountain wanted to see her, and she also brought news of Ran Susu.
"Miss, what I see is really the woman you are looking for, Wang Mazi's mother-in-law, what is her name, she secretly returned to the village this morning, and I have already asked my daughter to follow her secretly and watch people. No, I'm going to report to you quickly, it's too late, and people will run away. ”
When Ran Qiu heard this, she suddenly came to her senses, she hurriedly sent someone to report to Xiao Yin, and she hurriedly took Qingxi and a few nurses to follow the eldest lady to the village under the mountain.
When the group arrived, they saw Ran Susu pulling and pushing with the eldest lady's daughter, one wanted to run, the other dragged people to prevent them from leaving, and attracted many women from the village to watch.
To say that Ran Susu's popularity in the village is really bad enough, no one stood up to help her at this time, and all of them helped the eldest lady and girl to stop people together, so that Ran Qiunian could leave people in time.
"Go and tie that woman up for me."
Ran Qiunian led people over, and as soon as he gave an order, the nursing home stepped forward and grabbed Ran Susu and tied him up with his hands and feet.
As soon as Ran Susu looked up, she saw that it was Ran Qiunian who had tied her, and suddenly shouted in disbelief: "Impossible, Ran Qiunian, how can you still be alive!" ”
This sentence directly made Ran Qiunian believe that his guess was correct, Ran Susu was indeed the murderer who poisoned and assassinated him.
She sneered, looking at the embarrassed Ran Susu from a distance, the life of hiding for many days made her look haggard and sloppy, if it weren't for the familiar scolding in her head, I'm afraid Ran Qiunian would still be a little afraid to recognize it for a while.
"Are you disappointed that I wasn't poisoned by you?" Ran Qiu Nian saw that Ran Susu still didn't have the slightest repentance, and she was extremely impatient with her.
She automatically filtered out the ugly words that Ran Susu said to herself like crazy when she saw that the matter was revealed: "It's a pity that I can't die, but you are dead." Come on, send her directly to me. ”
Ran Qiunian was not ready to use lynching, just these things that Ran Susu did, and the deed of sale that did not yet expire, was enough for Ran Susu, oh no, it was Su Niang, and she was sentenced to a heavy sentence.
"You dare? You dare to send me to the official, Ran Qiunian, are you crazy? I want to see my father, I want to see my grandmother! ”
When Ran Susu saw that those nursing homes were really going to send herself to the official mansion, her face suddenly changed, she struggled, kicking and scolding at the same time, which made Ran Qiunian frown impatiently.
"Shut her mouth for me."
"Wait!" A familiar voice suddenly came from not far away, Ran Qiunian was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked in the direction where the sound came from, a sedan chair slowly lowered on the side of the road, the door curtain was opened, and a rich woman dressed in plain clothes walked out.
Ran Qiunian and Ran Susu looked at the man at the same time, but one was shocked and the other was ecstatic.
"Mother!" Ran Susu was overjoyed.
"The ...... of the Third Aunt"
Ran Qiunian shouted in a deep voice, watching the third aunt walk to her side step by step, standing still in front of Ran Susu, and firmly protecting the person behind her.
"What does this mean, Third Aunt?"
Ran Qiunian's tone was a little bad, but the third aunt didn't seem to feel it, and showed a smile full of apology to Ran Qiunian.
"Nian'er, good child, the third aunt can't stand you, she came here to make amends to you, Su Su is just ignorant for a while, please let me, a mother, take her back to be disciplined, and tell her to think about it behind closed doors and correct it."
"It's a good sentence of ignorance, not to mention that Ran Susu has been exiled by the Ran family, but the third aunt still remembers why she was exiled in the first place, and what mistakes did she make today?"
Ran Qiunian's face was a little ugly, and she was not deceived by the third aunt's coy posture at all.
"You just think about the fact that I only have this one child left now, for the sake of a mother's heart, Yin Yin has only been gone for a short time, not to mention me, even the old lady can't bear the pain of losing another child."
The third aunt seems to be very good at grasping people's weaknesses, if she only talks about herself, Ran Qiunian will definitely not have the slightest soft-heartedness, but with her grandmother, Ran Qiunian has to listen to her patiently.
"Besides, Nian'er, aren't you okay this time? Su Su is wrong, but the sin is not death, you are all sisters of the same clan, you grew up together since childhood, you raise your noble hand, why not let her go? Why bother to fight like this, make everyone sad......"
