After the two of them worked together, they finally found Xinlan, the henchman of the year, who was in a very dilapidated house on the outskirts of Beijing, and the house was also very old, I saw her dressed in coarse linen, wiping the table, and sweating on her forehead.

Li Qiuchi walked in slowly, and suddenly felt uncomfortable with something in his heart, "Aunt Xin......"

Xinlan turned her head, and when she saw her, she hurriedly threw down the rag and took two steps back with a very wary gaze, "Who are you?" Do I know you? ”

Li Qiuchi's eyes trembled, looking at Xinlan's rag linen clothes, his heart was even more sad, and he said with difficulty, "I'm Li Qiuchi, Second Miss Houfu." ”

As if hearing something terrifying, Xinlan suddenly froze in place, she slowly lowered her head, and happened to see the birthmark on Li Qiuchi's hand, her mood became more complicated, she looked at Li Qiuchi quietly, and suddenly burst into tears, slowly walked in front of Li Qiuchi, and held her hand.

She thought of the past again, and suddenly couldn't stop crying, "I didn't expect that after a few years, Miss has grown up." Seeing that the young lady is safe and sound, presumably the lady can rest in peace under the nine springs. ”

Li Qiuchi was also very uncomfortable, she held Xinlan's hand back, and her voice was solemn, "Aunt Xin, I came this time to find out the truth about my mother's death. ”

Xinlan listened to her words, her voice suddenly became excited, and her eyes were full of tears, "Okay! Good! Madame will be very pleased to have such a righteous daughter! ”

Li Qiuchi listened to her words, and felt even more guilty in his heart.

After Xinlan pulled her to sit down, she sighed and spoke slowly, "Back then, after my wife died, I was transferred to the Huanyi room to do some rough work, and on the night I was transferred, someone assassinated me. Luckily, I escaped, and I learned that it was someone from the Liu faction! The knife shone with a cold light, and I still can't forget it! The past is unbearable, and Xinlan was even more excited when she said this.

Li Qiuchi stroked her back, she was able to calm down, and continued to speak, "I became suspicious at this time, I escaped from the capital after all these years of avoiding pursuit, and I also began to investigate the events of the year, and found that there was really something wrong. Over the years, some eyebrows have also been found. If Miss wants to know the truth of the year, she can go to Wen Mu, the big housekeeper of the year, he should still be in the dim sum shop in the capital, my identity...... It's inconvenient to come forward. ”

She lowered her eyebrows, looking very lost, "After all, I am Madame's confidant and maidservant back then, if I come forward, it will inevitably be said to be a cover-up, and I will be even more speechless at that time." So I can only help Miss get here......"

Li Qiuchi clenched her hand, and his voice was sincere, "Aunt Xin, that's enough." ”

Xinlan hugged her tightly with relief, her eyes glistening with tears. Madam, your grievances are finally avenged by someone who is willing to avenge you.

Li Qiuchi hurriedly found the dim sum shop of the year, the market was noisy and prosperous, people came and went, and the sign on the dim sum shop in the center looked very old, she pushed the door open, a slight squeak sounded to push the door, the sun shone in, it seemed to be a long time away, the device still did not change, kept the original appearance, touched the door casually, it seemed that no one had taken care of it for a long time. It was even more empty.

This made her frown, and she turned around to find that there was indeed no one inside.

With contemplation, she walked out of the dim sum shop, and an old man with white hair and beard saw her wandering outside the dim sum shop, and couldn't help but come over and kindly remind her, "Girl, you don't have to go in again, this dim sum shop hasn't opened for a long time." ”

Li Qiuchi's heart moved, and he turned back and asked in confusion, "Uncle, why didn't this dim sum shop open?" ”

The old man shook his head, "I don't know the specific reason, I only know that back then, this shop was popular all over the town, but it was empty overnight." ”

Li Qiuchi couldn't help but frown, is this Liu family so cautious? She hurriedly asked, "Uncle, I came here this time to look for someone, have you ever heard of Wen Mu?" ”

The old man squinted his eyes and pondered, "Wen Mu...... But Wen Mu, the chief steward of the dim sum shop? He shook his head, "I haven't seen a single person from the dim sum shop since their figures dissipated." ”

Li Qiuchi was disappointed.

"Wen Mu, I've seen it!" Suddenly, a woman came over and said with a smile, Li Qiuchi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly grabbed the woman's hand, her face excited, "Sister, have you really seen Wen Mu?" ”

The woman looked at Li Qiuchi suspiciously, and saw that she was dressed extraordinarily, she must have come from a rich and noble family, and her appearance was even better, so she suddenly became cautious, "What are you looking for Wen Mu for?" ”

Li Qiuchi didn't know where her caution came from, but she was very anxious in her heart, and hurriedly spoke, "This matter is a long story, I have an urgent matter with him, since my sister has seen him, can you reveal his whereabouts?" ”

The woman shook her head, her voice cold, "I don't know, he stayed at my house for a day and left." ”

Li Qiuchi's heart suddenly fell to the bottom, and after thanking the two, he returned to the hotel where he was temporarily staying.

Chu Jinrong was looking at the book, and when he saw her disappointed look, he couldn't help laughing out loud, and got Li Qiuchi's glare.

"I just went out, and I sent people to inquire around, and they all said that they hadn't seen Wen Mu, but" Chu Jinrong paused, and when he saw Li Qiuchi's questioning gaze, he continued to smile: "You are lucky, the eldest sister you met in the morning is Wen Mu's cousin." ”

Li Qiuchi was not very surprised, and asked him rhetorically, "Everyone else said that they hadn't seen it, but she said that she did, should it-"

Chu Jinrong smiled and shook his head, "That Wen Mu left a long time ago, as for why others don't know, it's probably because he left quietly, no one knows." However, I did find it in her room. He took out a letter in his sleeve and handed it to her, but saw Li Qiuchi looking at him with a strange expression, "Not only did you follow me, but you also ran to the woman's house?" ”

Chu Jinrong coughed dryly twice, and twitched the corners of his mouth violently, "In extraordinary times, you have to use extraordinary means." ”

Li Qiuchi took it and looked at it, his face changed slightly, "This is ......"

Chu Jinrong smiled slightly: "I think, he is also looking for us." He lazily found a chair and sat down, his voice nonchalant, "Let's wait and see." ”

Li Qiuchi twisted his eyebrows, carefully looked at the letter in his hand, and didn't say anything.

Sure enough, the next morning, someone came to the door.

When Li Qiuchi pushed open the door, he saw a man, his whole body was tightly wrapped in black cloth, his body was very thin, and his face was covered with a gauze hat on his head.

"Is it the second lady of the Hou Mansion?" His voice was beautiful, like beads rolling down on a jade plate, warm and easy-going.

Li Qiuchi was surprised, but still nodded, "Yes." ”

He laughed and was about to speak, when Chu Jinrong inside suddenly walked out excitedly, "Wen Mu, you're finally here." ”

Wen Mu?

Li Qiuchi was stunned for a moment, looking at the man in front of him who was wrapped so that he couldn't see his face clearly, and was surprised in his heart, why was it so tightly packaged?

Wen Mu gave Chu Jinrong a salute, "I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Chu Jinrong smiled lightly and helped him up, "You don't have to be so polite, go to the door first, and get down to business." ”

Hearing this, Wen Mu was no longer polite, and went straight into the door, until the door was closed, Wen Mu knelt straight down in front of Li Qiuchi.

"Second Miss, I'm sorry for you." His voice was still gentle, but there was a heavy breath in his life.

Li Qiuchi was surprised and frowned, "What is this for?" The man has gold under his knees, and he is not yet hazy. ”

Wen Mu didn't move, "Second Miss, back then, it was the Liu family who asked me to poison my wife." ”

Chu Jinrong frowned, subconsciously glanced at Li Qiuchi, and was secretly relieved when he saw that she didn't react.

As soon as these words came out, Li Qiuchi's face did not change, and he was very calm, "I know." ”

Wen Mu raised his head in surprise, but saw Li Qiuchi continue to speak, "I have long been aware of the viciousness of the Liu family, and now, I am asking you to be a witness to uncover the truth about my mother's death back then, and also make the Liu family pay the price." Remembering the old events, she lowered her eyes and cast a shadow.

He lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Second Miss, don't worry, I'm here to testify to you this time." He was silent for a while, "Three days, three days later, we will meet at the City God Temple, and I will bring evidence at that time, and I must make that Liu clan ruined!" ”

At the end, he was emotionally charged and angry, with great resentment.

Li Qiuchi and Chu Jinrong faced each other in surprise, but finally didn't say anything.

Three days later, Li Qiuchi arrived as promised, and in the City God Temple, a Wen Mu inside stood in place, reflecting the light of the great shore, and seemed to have been waiting for a long time. After seeing Li Qiuchi, he bowed, lowered his eyebrows, and said, "I've seen Miss Xiao." ”

Li Qiuchi smiled gently, now, his mother's revenge can finally be avenged. She was relieved in her eyes, and took Wen Mu's hand, "Hurry up, since you know the truth back then......"

Suddenly, there was a dull pain in the back of her neck, and before she could turn around, her eyes went black and fell into endless darkness.

When she woke up, she saw herself lying in Chu Jinrong's arms, Chu Jinrong's eyes were full of worry, and her heart suddenly warmed. Surrounded by Li Xingzhao and Liu, Li Xingzhao looked at her with a disappointed face, and Liu's eyes hid schadenfreude.

She was stunned for a moment, broke free from Chu Jinrong's embrace, and glanced at a circle of people with different expressions, "What's wrong?" ”

Liu Shi was the first to sneer, "Yo, Qiu'er is really cold-blooded, have you even forgotten what you have done?" The Fuyang Marquis Mansion has never produced a cold-hearted person like you! ”

Li Qiuchi was instinctively disgusted by Liu's yin and yang weird tone, and she frowned, "What did I do?" ”

The mockery in Liu's eyes was even worse, "I don't know? That's right, if you do such an ugly thing, you really should cover it up......" Her words stopped at Chu Jinrong's cold eyes.

Li Qiuchi's anger was also forced out by her inexplicable words, and his voice was cold, "Speak well!" ”

The Liu clan sneered and turned his head to look at Chu Jinrong, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the facts are obvious, Li Qiuchi bought it." Bad. Kill. People, this is clearly to cover up! How can such a vicious woman be worthy of being the crown princess? ”

Chu Jinrong's voice was low, and he spoke slowly, "Before the matter is settled, the eldest lady is too anxious to make such a conclusion." What is Madame trying to cover up? ”

Only then did Li Qiuchi see that Wen Mu in front of him had fallen to the ground, foaming at the mouth. She was startled, and hurriedly ran to Wen Mu's side, trembling her hand probed his snort, and suddenly retracted her hand as if it was burning, and the mist spread in her eyes because of fear, she hurriedly looked at the three people behind her, "I didn't kill it!" As soon as I entered the City God Temple, I was beaten unconscious, how could I kill someone? And I have no reason to kill. ”

Liu sneered, "You didn't kill it?" If you didn't kill you, how could you be here? You say that someone else stunned you, but where is the person who stunned you? Who can see it? You must know that I want to invite this Wen Mu to be a witness back then, for fear that you will lose the handle to frame me, so you killed him, the ultimate goal is to make me have fewer people to refute and be ruined, right? ”

"Li Qiuchi, I usually know that you don't have any good intentions, but I don't know that you really dare to do it in order to frame me!"

Liu's sentences were aggressive and sharp, which made Li Qiuchi speechless, and her heart was even more chaotic. Now there is no witness, and this Wen Mu died next to her, which is really difficult to refute.

Li Qiuchi shook his head in a panic, spoke helplessly, and his voice became choked, "I didn't ......"

"You didn't? Can you explain why you're here? ”
