As soon as Qi's voice fell, he heard the porter hurriedly come in and report: "Young lady, the official messenger of Jingzhao Mansion is here, saying that he wants the second young lady to go and ask for questions." ”

"Someone is coming so soon." Qi Shi looked at Qin Niang with a little worry, "Grandfather already knows about this matter, if Jingzhao Mansion embarrasses you, I will let my grandfather come forward." ”

Qin Niang's heart warmed, although she and Gu Chen had been in a separate house, and they didn't walk around with the Qi family very often on weekdays, but the Qi family could think about her so much, and it was fake that she was not moved in her heart.

"Sister-in-law, they have no evidence to prove that I was the murderer, at most they just asked me to go over and ask for a question, besides, Jingzhao Mansion Yin and I are also old acquaintances, he won't detain me for no reason." After Qin Niang appeased Qi for a few words, she put on her cloak again and went out.

Qi didn't want to come out for too long, and before leaving, he told Qin Niang to remember to inform her if she had something, and Qin Niang responded.

The concubines walked out of the gate of the Gu house one after the other, and the carriage went on both sides, one went back to the Gu family's old house, and the other went to Jingzhao Mansion.

As soon as Qin Niang entered the Jingzhao Mansion, she saw Ji Shilang turning his head to look at her with indignation on his face, pointing at her and saying, "What did you do to my daughter yesterday?" If it weren't for you, how could she have died! ”

Qin Niang glanced at him lightly, and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

"The women of the people meet Master Li." Qin Niang bowed to Li Mu, who was sitting on the top, "I don't know why Lord Li specially invited me to come?" ”

Li Mugan coughed twice and cleared his throat, and then began to explain the reason: "Ji Shilang's daughter was killed last night, I heard that you had some disputes with him in the Lingwang Mansion yesterday, and this official specially invites you to come and ask." ”

Qin Niang nodded and cooperated: "Yesterday I waited in the Lingwang Mansion, originally in the Lingwang's treasure pavilion to appreciate the celebrity calligraphy, paintings and antiques, but Miss Ji took a painting and asked me to comment, and then she knocked down the teacup, stained the painting, framed me, and then was kicked out by the princess Ling, as for the later things, the woman was in the palace at the time, and she didn't know anything else. ”

Qin Niang recounted what happened yesterday one by one, and Ji Shilang, who was listening to it, was angry and reddened, and pointed at her and said, "You are talking nonsense!" If you didn't do anything, why did she die? You said she was kicked out before the party, but why didn't she come home? Obviously, someone saw her come out after the banquet, how could you say this, she had already left the Lingwang Mansion. ”

Qin Niang glanced at him strangely: "Princess Ling personally kicked people out, if you don't believe it, you can ask Princess Ling to ask, so many pairs of eyes were seen at that time, is it necessary for me to lie?" As for why Ling Ai left the house after the banquet, you need to ask the person who reported to you, the women are only responsible for telling what they know, and the women are not in charge of the women. ”

"You ......" Ji Shilang choked and said indignantly, "sharp teeth and sharp mouth!" ”

Qin Niangli ignored him, just looked at Li Mudao: "My lord, only me and Miss Ji did have some unpleasantness yesterday, just because the folk woman and Miss Ji had an unpleasant encounter, so the folk woman is the most suspicious person, just imagine, if the folk woman offended Miss Ji and turned her head and killed her, isn't that the most suspicious person?" The women are not stupid, even if they want to kill someone, they will not kill at this time. ”

Li Mushen thought so, so he just made a show today and sent someone to call her over.

"Don't listen to this, sir

A demon girl quibbles, since everyone thinks so, so she did the opposite, my daughter has always been at odds with her, she is afraid that she has already had murderous intentions, just took advantage of such a good opportunity yesterday, and killed people, please adults must give the little girl a justice! Ji Shilang said with a sad face, almost like those women, sitting on the ground and rolling around.

Qin Niang secretly observed Ji Shilang for a long time, and found that although he accused her of killing his daughter with a sad and angry face as soon as he entered the door, but when he looked closely, this expression really didn't look like real sadness.

It's a bit of acting.

This is interesting.

His daughter had just died, and as a father, he was acting here.

Who is it for?

Go without saying.

It's just that he went to such great lengths to smear her as a merchant woman, what was his purpose?

If she was still the daughter of the Yang family to be married at this time, she could still understand that the other party was attacking political enemies, but if she married Gu Chen, the entire Gu family was far away from the court situation, was it too much trouble for him to deal with her like this, a businesswoman?

"Master Ji, you accused Second Young Lady Gu of killing Ling Aibi without evidence, besides, so many people have seen the fact that Ling Ai was kicked out of the Lingwang Mansion before the banquet, there is no doubt about this matter, and you don't have to forcibly put your hat on the head of Second Young Lady Gu, if you don't have real evidence, then the official can only let her go."

Li Mu really doesn't want to be entangled with Ji Shilang, he has been judging the case for so many years, this case is already clear at a glance, if Qin Niang just has some friction with the other party, and she has to blame her for the death of the person who turns around, then I don't know how many unjust cases will be added in this world.

Besides, last night the prince led the forbidden army near the Lingwang Mansion, when did Ji Baochun come out of the palace this time, just ask someone to know, there are many witnesses, you can't buy so many people to cover up the facts, right?

Besides, the person was personally driven out by Princess Ling, could it be that this Ji Shilang is saying that Princess Ling is also related to this matter?

It's hilarious, too.

What is there to murder a mere daughter of a ministry servant?

"The official has a certificate, and the little girl was still holding a handkerchief in her hand before she died, and Miss Yang should recognize it." After Ji Shilang glared at Qin Niang angrily, he took out a handkerchief from his arms.

The yacha took the square handkerchief and presented it to Li Mu.

Li Mu took the handkerchief and looked at it carefully, then his pupils shrank, and he ordered someone to hand the handkerchief to Qin Niang, and asked, "Second Young Lady Gu, please take a closer look, is this your handkerchief?" ”

Qin Niang took the handkerchief, which was faintly stained with blood, but she could still clearly see that the corner of the handkerchief was embroidered with the word "Qin".

It does look like her veil.

But

Qin Niang hooked her lips, handed it back to the yacha, and said lightly: "Lord Ji's dirty methods are inevitably too unpopular, and if you want to plant dirt, you won't embroider this word decently, it's so ugly, and I'm embarrassed to take it out and splash my dirty water." ”

When Ji Shilang heard this, his face turned blue with anger, he pointed at her, and roared angrily: "Don't think that you can clear your suspicion with your tongue, your name is embroidered on this handkerchief, you are still denying it here, do you have to find someone to see you kill with your own eyes?" ”

As he spoke, he knelt down with a puff and looked like he was in pain

Li Mu on the throne howled: "Master Li, I hope you will give the official a fair sentence and bring this woman to justice." ”

Qin Niang didn't say anything, she lightly took out another handkerchief from her sleeve pocket, handed it to the yacha on the side and said: "My lord, this is the handkerchief of the people's women, and I also ask Lord Li to take a look at it for himself, what is the difference between the two handkerchiefs." ”

Li Mu nodded and ordered someone to present the veil.

He took the two handkerchiefs and compared them, the material of the handkerchief used by Qin Niang was obviously much better than the one that Ji Shilang took out, and even the lace embroidered on the handkerchief was much more delicate than the one taken out by Ji Shilang, and the stitching method was unique, and others could not easily imitate it.

Qin Niang has always disliked embroidering her name on the items she uses, just in case, if something is lost, she accidentally lets an irrelevant person pick it up, and then she will be charged with a private confession, and she can't afford it.

She thinks that it is the stupidest way to embroider her name directly on her personal belongings, but she doesn't want others to take the opportunity to splash dirty water on her, so whenever she uses something, the stitching method must be unique, and it is different from the popular embroidery methods on the market.

Therefore, the square handkerchief that Ji Shilang took out just now, she only glanced at it and sneered.

Such an inferior method of planting dirt is even embarrassed to be used in front of her.

And also in front of Jingzhao Mansion Yin!

I wonder if he thinks everyone is stupid? I still think he's very smart.

"Ji Shilang, such a clumsy embroiderer, you are embarrassed to take it out and frame Second Young Lady Gu!" Li Mu's face was dark and gloomy, even if he didn't need to ask again, he understood almost at the moment.

If he just felt that Ji Shilang was too sad at the beginning, and he was anxious to avenge his daughter, so he grabbed Qin Niang, then at this moment, he was almost certain that Ji Shilang had already prepared, that is, he wanted to put Qin Niang to death.

A little woman, why would a waiter from the Ministry of Four-Rank put her to death so hard?

It's worth digging into.

"Master Li, I know that you had a very good personal relationship with Mrs. Gu Er in the past, and because of your daughter-in-law, you also want to be biased with her, but you can't open your eyes and tell nonsense? There is obviously her name on the veil, how can it be called a dirt? Ji Shilang stood up unconvinced and said excitedly.

"Since Ji Shilang doesn't give up, then he will bother Master Li to get some needles and threads, and the woman will personally embroider the word 'Qin' for everyone to see, and you will know where the difference is." Compared with Ji Shilang's jumping up and down, Qin Niang seemed much more indifferent.

Since someone doesn't shed tears when she doesn't see the coffin, she doesn't mind letting the other party die.

Li Mu didn't say much, and ordered someone to go to the back hall to find his wife and get some tools for embroidery.

Qin Niang was in the hall and embroidered in front of everyone.

Ji Shilang on the side looked at her flying needle and walking the line, and suddenly felt a little up and down in his heart, saying that the eldest lady of the Yang family is a well-known talented woman, no matter what she does, she is different from others and has very personal characteristics.

So, she is so confident now, shouldn't she really embroider any tricks?

As time passed little by little, a little sweat gradually oozed from Ji Shilang's forehead, and he panicked inexplicably for a moment.

"Alright, my lord, the woman has finished embroidering."
