Chapter Sixty-Nine: He Said His Last Name Was Zhou

"Third Miss."
While the Yu family and the Chen family were talking to a few ladies, Qi Ran walked to the empty seat next to Li Mingyun and sat down.
Li Mingyun responded with a smile.
The two sat on one side, their heads bowed, and the others looked as if they were whispering to each other.
"Third Miss, I have already found out the suspicious person who entered my second sister's house a few days ago." She said, her voice getting lower and lower, "Except for a few maids in my second sister's courtyard and two maids in the miscellaneous room, now I have sent people to ask them one by one, and I believe that there will be results in the near future." β
She said very firmly, and her face was firm, giving people confidence, if others would believe it, but Li Mingyun couldn't believe it.
As she expected, Miss Qi didn't put her suspicions on Qin Ruxin at all.
"Are only the maids in the second lady's house?" Li Mingyun blinked curiously, "Or is it that no one else is suspicious?" β
She asked cleverly, and Qi Ran didn't think about it, so she said, "There are two more, but they won't do such a thing." β
These two were her cousin and Miss Qin.
She had been with her cousin for a longer time, and knowing her cousin's temperament, it was naturally impossible to suspect her, but as for Miss Qin, the second sister concluded that she would never dare to do this.
She asked the reason, only to learn that Miss Qin was happy with the third brother. Since this is the case, then Miss Qin definitely has no intention of harming the second sister.
Li Mingyun said "oh".
"Miss, I have a question. If the hairpin was stolen by the maid next to the second lady, why was it in the hands of the killer? A maid wouldn't buy murder, would she? She followed the path and broke another possibility, "If someone asks her to do that, then shouldn't she consider the consequences of eating inside and out, she turned her back on the Qi family, and in Gwangju, how many families can compare with the Qi family."
Qi Ran was stunned for a moment and hung his head in thought.
"Third Miss, you mean ......" she hesitated.
The Qi family is a big family in Gwangju, and there are only a few households with a higher status than the Qi family, and the Qi family has a good relationship with them, so they can't do such a thing, so it is difficult for the maids to be driven by them to steal hairpins.
Except for the maid...... There are only cousins and Miss Qin.
She sighed.
"I don't want to doubt my cousin and Miss Qin, they have a good relationship with my second sister, if they find out what I think, it will definitely chill their hearts."
This is a kind person, but sometimes kindness is in the wrong place.
Li Mingyun looked at her moist eyes and took a slight compromise.
"You go back and let Miss Qi Er think about it, is it possible that she is disliked, or if there is something wrong in her words, that person will not be able to put this charge on her for no reason."
"Also, the person in that prison is a killer, you also know that hiring a killer requires both money and a way, Miss, think about it again."
Although the killer now bit herself to death because she was bought by Miss Qi Er's jewelry, she still decided to tell Qi Ran about it cryptically. If it's not a golden hairpin, it's silver, but these things.
She thought a little bit about that Zhou Gongzi, if he was there, he would definitely be able to find a way to get the words out of the killer's mouth.
Qi Ran nodded, and then fell silent.
Just when Li Mingyun thought she wouldn't speak again, she spoke up again.
"My third brother is afraid that he has found something, and in the past two days, he has sent people out of the house......"
It's just that I didn't tell her, and I think she was too naΓ―ve.
She hung her head, breathing frustrated.
"Miss, don't mind." Li Mingyun patted her hand and smiled comfortingly, "Things will eventually come to light, and I won't let that bad guy get away with it." β
"It's just that if the truth is unexpected by the eldest lady, I hope the eldest lady won't worry about this matter."
Don't worry......
Qi Ran raised his head and stared at her blankly for a moment.
"I see." She said.

After the banquet dispersed, the guests said goodbye to Chen.
"Mrs. Li, it's really my luck to come to your mansion......"
"Next month, the old lady in my house will have a birthday, and Mrs. Li will definitely bring the third lady here......"
"Mrs. Li is smart and capable, she deserves to be the head of the Li Mansion, and I still have to learn from Mrs. Li......"
It was another scene, and the banquet hall finally fell silent.
Only the people of the Wang family and the Qi family remained.
Su Shi and Chen Shi said a few words politely, and waved at Wang Yu, who was fighting with Li Mingwei on the other side.
"Eleven, it's time for us to go home." She said, her expression soft.
"Sister-in-law, can I play again?" Wang Yu lifted the movement in his hand and pleaded bitterly to the Su family, "I just came here, I didn't play anything......"
His pitiful appearance made Chen a little unbearable.
"Young lady, otherwise, I'll send someone to send Young Master Wang back to the house later?" She said, "The children are playing in the mood, where will they leave?" β
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Yu raised his mouth and looked at Chen obediently.
"Thank you, aunt!" He shouted, "You're so nice! You're as good-looking as Sister Mingyun! β
"The sycophants are here again."
Li Mingwei pursed his lips disdainfully, and whispered to Li Mingyao, "Why is Wang Yu such a person?" The sycophants are getting louder and louder every time......"
Wrong!
He reacted and hurriedly shut up.
Li Mingyao teasingly "heh".
"You said that the second aunt and Ming Yun are horses?" He chuckled, "Li Mingwei, you're looking for a fight." β
After that, he turned his head and shouted: "Second aunt, third sister, Mingwei said ......"
The mouth was tightly covered by Li Mingwei.
"Fourth brother, if you dare to say it, I will tell the fourth aunt that you are molesting women on the street!" He threatened and intimidated.
Of course, Li Mingyao didn't really flirt with the woman, but just after they left the house, a greased and powdered woman suddenly appeared in front of him on the street, startled him and immediately said that he had met a ghost, and the woman was crying angrily and covered her face and ran away.
"Yao'er, what's the matter with the second aunt?" Chen over there asked, and Li Mingyun also looked over.
Li Mingwei put his hand down, pulled his sleeve hard, pointed in one direction and said silently.
"It's fine." Li Mingyao coughed, "Mingwei said that he had eaten too much and was going to the garden to eliminate his food." β
I see.
Chen waved his hand: "Go ahead, don't go too fast." He also called Wang Yu together.
Li Mingwei nodded obediently, dragged Li Mingyao and ran out of the banquet hall with Wang Yuyi.
Seeing this, Su had no choice but to give up.
"Then thank you, Mrs. Lee." She gave a salute, and the maid behind her took her hand and left together.
Li Mingyun saw that Aunt Yu on the side seemed to be talking to her mother about something, so she casually found a reason to leave.
When their figures disappeared at the door, Yu stepped forward and spoke to Chen.
"Sister Chen." She said, apologetically.
Originally, a few days ago, she planned to come with her master on Yun'er's birthday to discuss the marriage with the Li family, but something like that happened.
At present, we have to wait for the killer and the matter of Zixian to be dealt with.
Chen didn't know what was going on, he just shook his head and smiled: "It's okay, now the matter in Zixian County has made several adults quite worried, Sister Yu should not apologize, and it is not too late to discuss it when the matter is resolved." β
She patted Yu's hand: "Sister Yu, no matter what, our hearts are the same in this matter, and you don't have to worry." β
These reassuring words warmed Yu's heart when he heard it.
"You can rest assured." She said with a smile, her eyes flashing with sincerity, "I like Yun'er very much, and I treat her as my own daughter, if she becomes my daughter-in-law, I will definitely treat her well." β
Chan nodded yes.

Li Mingyun took Qiuqing and Chunyu to the garden.
It's late April, and the flowers have changed from delicate to brilliant, no longer the same delicate as before.
Through the flowers, they came to the clear lake.
Li Mingyun paused, his eyes on the sparkling lake.
Before January, she had fished here, and although she only caught one, it was the credit of the fourth brother.
"Miss, someone's coming." Spring Rain tiptoed and looked at the grass.
As he spoke, a little guy came out of the green grass with his head down.
"Miss." He bowed down and said, "There's a man looking for you at the back door." β
After that, he looked up at Li Mingyun.
"He said his surname was Zhou."
