Chapter 269: The Lonely and Arrogant Jade Pendant

Leng Qinghe immediately ordered all the people in the house to gather and interrogate them one by one, and at the time of the incident, everyone's whereabouts.

has been tossing until the change, still nothing, no suspicious person was found, it seems that every subordinate has their own alibi evidence.

Zhiqiu is no longer in the Prime Minister's Mansion now, even if there were any quarrels and festivals with the people in this mansion, it was a thing of the past, and he would not kill his life for this, right?

What was the man's motive for killing?

Zhiqiu said those inexplicable words when she came, did she already have a premonition that someone would want her life? So why did she take the initiative to come?

What did she do with Leng Qingjiao's jade pendant?

Leng Qinghuan decided to start with Leng Qingjiao to see if there were any valuable clues.

Before the person went, Leng Qingjiao's mother-in-law came back and forth, saying that Leng Qingjiao was sick and had a high fever.

Aunt Xue was timid, and she never dared to make up with her, and when she heard that Qingjiao was sick, she immediately muttered: "It can't be that it collided with something, right?" ”

Then he pulled Leng Xiang's sleeve and asked him if he needed to invite a few monks into the mansion to have a good time.

Leng Xiang was upset and reprimanded: "What do you do with those messy things?" ”

Leng Qinghuan went straight to the courtyard of Leng Qingjiao.

The fourth aunt was reprimanding the child in front of Leng Qingjiao: "Madame is not in the house, you slaves are bold, and you servants are not careful, so you left him alone in the courtyard and ran to see the excitement by yourself." It must have caught him a cold. ”

The scholar lowered his head and obediently listened to the training, not daring to raise his head: "It's the little young master who doesn't dare to look at it, but he is a little curious, so he sent the slave over to take a look, and came back to tell him to listen." But as soon as I came back, the young master was startled and began to have a fever, as if he was frightened, and he was talking nonsense. ”

"Nonsense, I'm lazy, but I still rely on these nonsensical things?"

The fourth aunt is from a low background, and she is well-known in the house for her good temper, and she is obedient, and she rarely gets angry like this. It seems that although the Jin family is not in the house, she is still good for Leng Qingjiao.

The scholar did not dare to speak again.

The fourth aunt raised her face and saw Leng Qinghuan, hurriedly stopped, greeted her, and then opened the curtain.

Leng Qingjiao was lying on the bed, hot and cold, his teeth chattered for a while, and he shouted hot for a while, and he hummed uncomfortably.

Leng Qinghuan originally hated Leng Qingjiao, just because of his arrogance and domineering, bullying the weak. Goodbye today, he curled up and became a ball, burned in a daze, his fat face was flushed, and he was a little pitiful.

A child is just a child, and the sins of adults should not be placed on him.

Leng Qinghuan sighed lightly, stepped forward to check his condition, and had a high fever of thirty-nine degrees and six, and he couldn't delay, so he immediately hung up the hanging bottle for him. and ordered someone to bring ice water to physically cool his forehead.

Leng Qingjiao was a little confused, half-opened his eyes, glanced at Leng Qinghuan, and cried "whining".

"Second sister, I miss my mother. Why hasn't my mother come back yet? ”

Leng Qinghuan's nose was sore, his heart was a little uncomfortable, he raised his hand to touch his forehead, and he didn't know what to comfort, so he could only say astringently: "Good, go to sleep, it's good to wake up." ”

Leng Qingjiao grabbed her hand and put it to her face: "Second sister doesn't want me anymore, does she?" I will be obedient, don't kill me. I'm so scared. ”

Leng Qinghuan, who is about to become a mother, is even more uncomfortable.

Because of the Jin family, he and Leng Qinglang's sister and brother are destined to be in a hostile position. Otherwise, she would love to hug the child and give him a little comfort.

She patted him gently and coaxed softly: "Good, when you get better, I will take you to your second sister." ”

Leng Qingjiao fell asleep with tears in his eyes.

Leng Qinghe also looked a little uncomfortable on the side: "I will spend a little more time with him in the future." ”

Both siblings had experienced the pain of losing a loved one suddenly, and they were more empathetic.

Leng Qinghuan asked the scholar softly: "What is the use of Zhiqiu coming to the little young master today to ask for that jade pendant?" ”

The scholar shook his head: "She only said that the second lady ordered her to come, and she didn't say what it was for." Because she is the girl in front of the second lady and has been with her for many years, none of us have ever suspected anything. Besides, it was just a jade pendant, and the little master immediately took it off and handed it to her. ”

"Isn't there any special use for the jade pendant?"

The scholar shook his head again: "The jade pendant is made of excellent material, and the appearance is also novel, carved with the name of the little young master, I heard that it is a full moon gift given by the Jin family when the little young master is full moon, and the Jin family likes it very much, so he let the little young master wear it since he was a child." ”

"When Zhiqiu left, was there anything wrong, such as emotions and behavior?"

The scholar thought for a moment: "It's obviously very happy, as if he has obtained a treasure, as soon as he got it in his hand, he didn't say much, and immediately turned around and left." ”

If you get a treasure? Leng Qinghuan frowned slightly, but after Zhiqiu's corpse was salvaged, he didn't see the jade pendant, was it taken away by the murderer? Or did you fall into the lake when you fell into the water?

Could it be that someone is interested in getting rich? After all, the jade pendant that can make the Jin family look at it must be worth a lot of money.

Also, she once asked about the housekeeper, but Zhiqiu didn't look for him today, and he never said that he wanted to help her find a place to do things, and he hadn't seen him for some time.

Then, Zhiqiu mentioned going back to the Prime Minister's Mansion today, obviously for this jade pendant. Why did she ask Leng Qingjiao for an ordinary jade pendant? is still under the banner of Leng Qinglang, does this matter have anything to do with Leng Qinglang?

But Leng Qinglang is now grounded in Zhuangzi, so far, how did she communicate with Zhiqiu? How did she know that Zhiqiu would come to the Prime Minister's Mansion today?

After some questioning, there were no other clues. This kind of thing will definitely not be reported to the official, so it can only be done in private.

Murong Qi gave an order, handed it over to the governor of the Prime Minister's Mansion to negotiate with the people of the palace, bought a coffin overnight, and carried it out directly from the Prime Minister's Mansion for burial.

Leng Qinghuan waited for a while, Leng Qingjiao's condition improved slightly, the fever gradually subsided, he opened his eyes in a daze, and saw that Leng Qinghuan was staying in front of him, closed his eyes again, did not speak, and still pretended to be asleep.

Leng Qinghuan raised his hand and touched his forehead: "Is it still uncomfortable?" ”

Leng Qingjiao pursed his lips and twisted his face to the side.

Leng Qinghuan smiled, took the cup from the hand of the maid behind him, scooped it with a spoon, and carefully handed it to his lips: "Sweaty, thirsty, right?" Have a drink? ”

Leng Qingjiao didn't open his mouth.

Leng Qinghuan took back the spoon: "Such a delicious bubble tea, if you don't like it, I'll drink it myself." ”

Leng Qingjiao pursed his lips quietly, feeling sweet and silky, with a fragrant milky fragrance, and quietly lifted his eyelids.

Leng Qing smiled and laughed, and sure enough, for this child, the temptation of food is always the greatest.

She handed the milk tea to Leng Qingjiao: "Do you have anything to say to the eldest sister?" ”

Leng Qingjiao half leaned on the brocade cushion behind him, drank milk in small sips, and didn't say a word.

"Do you know what your second sister wants your jade pendant for?"

Leng Qingjiao raised his face and looked at her with a hostile gaze, like a little wolf cub: "I don't know anything." Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you. ”

Leng Qinghuan didn't ask any more questions, and stood up: "Then you remember to take medicine obediently for a while, and when you get better, I'll take you to your second sister." ”
