Chapter 42: The Fire Serpent Spits Out the Letter

Ancestral hall fire?

She just came back from the ancestral hall and the ancestral hall caught fire, how could it be so coincidental that Yan Jasper and Yan Makeup were in it?

Wrong!

This is the second trap of Yan Makeup, which came so quickly!

Qin Huai instantly figured it out, there was no difference between Yan Xiangcheng's injury this time and Yan Biyu's fall injury before, and he couldn't let himself completely lose his position. But if this incident is used as an introduction, Qin Huai will burn down the Yan family ancestral hall in a fit of anger, and then murder people......

She didn't dare to think about what the ultimate purpose of makeup was, but if she wanted to prepare for such a thing, it would be impossible to complete it without internal makeup.

Qin Huai immediately became vigilant, grabbed Mingyue and asked, "What about the jade slave?" ”

"Yunu said to boil hot water, but he hasn't come back yet."

Mingyue replied in a daze, she didn't expect this to have anything to do with the jade slave.

How could it take so long to boil water, from the beginning to the present, Yunu has always been by his side, if you want to talk about fine work, who else is more suitable besides her?

"That's not right! Hurry up and find out if there's anything more in our house, or see if there's anything missing!" ”

"Princess...... You mean......"

"Go!"

Qin Huai understood that the disappearance of the jade slave at this time must represent a catastrophe in the future, and she had to find an object that could cure her sin as soon as possible, otherwise the initiative would fall into the hands of others.

Mingyue went for a while before turning back, saying that there was a piece of clothing missing from her closet, and that some flint and steel were found in the stove in the small kitchen.

In this way, even a fool can see that he is to blame.

Mingyue angrily smashed the thing on the ground and gritted her teeth, "Princess, we treat her well, why would she do this!" ”

"What if she is not thin, I am afraid that her master has someone else." Qin Huai waved his hand, as if he had expected it.

Now that they have all obtained the evidence of the crime, it is up to the princess to prepare first.

"So what are we going to do now?"

Qin Huai moved her legs and feet, and after kneading her, she was already able to walk normally, but she was still a little soft.

"Put these things away, we'll take them to identify them, and see how she will act in a while."

At this time, Steward Qian had already arrived outside the door without passing the word, hesitated for a while, and walked in with his head down.

"Miss Table, this ...... You already know about the fire in the ancestral hall. ”

Qin Huai was almost ready, she combed her messy bun, and couldn't help but smile and ask, "What's the matter, Steward Qian, is this suspicious of me again?" ”

Steward Qian immediately bowed his body lower, but replied truthfully: "The old slave doesn't dare to make a mistake, it's just to send a message for the master, and the master invites you and your maid to go to the ancestral hall now." ”

"We're about to pass here, I don't know what happened to the two younger sisters."

"The door of the ancestral hall was locked from the outside, fortunately, the fire was not big, although it had been extinguished, but the two young ladies had inhaled a lot of smoke, and the situation was not easy to say."

No matter how difficult the situation is, Yan Cheng will be fine anyway, she still has to identify Qin Huai in front of everyone.

On the way, Qin Huai almost walked unsteadily several times, but she didn't want to lose her prestige in front of the Bai family, so she still insisted on making herself walk as smoothly as possible.

In front of the ancestral hall, Qin Huai could see that the eaves of the entire ancestral hall had been eroded by fire, although the internal flames had been extinguished, but the beams of the house were seriously damaged, and it seemed that the fire was not small.

Yan Biyu and Yan Cheng were lying unconscious on the ground, their faces invariably stained with some gray-black marks, but they were generally fine. Bai sat on his knees in disheveled clothes and sobbed, calling the names of the two without saying a word.

After looking around for a week, Qin Huai pulled the corners of his mouth, Yan Xiangcheng really worked hard, and he did not hesitate to burn down the ancestral hall in person in order to rectify himself, and he was not afraid of retribution, and the gains outweighed the losses.

Seeing Qin Huai stepping in, all the family members gasped, holding their snorts and not daring to respond, except for the sound of still putting out the fire and moving the equipment inside, there was no other sound.

"Qin Huai, do you know what's going on?"

The uncle had a gloomy face, as if he was holding back the anger in his heart, and even Huai'er stopped calling Huai'er, and called Qin Huai's name.

Qin Huai still looked calm and calm, and repeated the situation.

"Back to my uncle's words, I was in my yard just now, and when I heard a noise outside, I asked Mingyue to come out to see, and then I knew that the ancestral hall was on fire, so I hurriedly cleaned up and rushed here."

Seeing that Qin Huai was still so indifferent, Bai Shi endured his crying, and wanted to talk to her in a dumb voice.

"Didn't you kneel in the ancestral hall! How did it become jasper and makeup in it, why did this ancestral hall go out of the water! ”

"A girl just came to pass the word, saying that Cheng Cheng had woken up, let me go back first, and deal with this matter tomorrow, and I don't know what happened in the ancestral hall after that."

The moment Qin Huai answered, he realized that he had been calculated from that moment on, how could he inform her girl, it was just a means to lure her away.

"I've been with the makeup, who's going to inform you? Can anyone testify? Bai immediately took a bite back, which proved Qin's guess.

At this time, Yan Biyu's maid also came to bite, and she couldn't stop wiping her tears, as if Yan Biyu was dead at this time.

"It's clear that the maid next to you came to call our miss, and our miss is here to meet you, I didn't expect you to have such a vicious mind, and you want to put Miss to death!"

Qin Huai settled down, turned around again and didn't see the shadow of the jade slave, so he directly created an opportunity for her. "Speak to the evidence, who went to invite your young lady."

"Naturally, it's her, it's called Mingyue." The maid was determined and pointed to the bright moon.

Mingyue also wondered, she had been by Qin Huai's side, when had she seen this person.

"When did I go and invite your young lady?"

"It's just now!"

Things got weird, Qin Huai turned his head to look at the maid who was made up, and asked, "What about you, she also invited you?" ”

The maid glared at Qin Huai as if she was ready to swallow her, but she still suppressed her nature in front of Madame.

"No, we are invited by the jade slave, my young lady just woke up, obviously the jade slave said that you were going to apologize to her and made an appointment in the ancestral hall, but when you came, there was no trace, only the eldest lady was present. Before we could react, we were locked up outside, and then smoke was going to jump inside, and if you hadn't done it, who would have such a big grudge against the two young ladies. ”

Qin Huai nodded, feeling that what the maid said was not unreasonable, so he asked again: "Yes, you also know that if something happens, the first person to be suspected is me, how could I be so stupid to do such a thing." ”

"That's because you know that even if you do such a thing, you won't be punished, so you dare to murder our young lady openly."

This maid began to speak thoughtlessly when she got the words, and Qin Huai was also happy to see it, and after she finished speaking, she was slowly correcting her mistakes.

"Even if I do it, you will directly suspect me, and there is no way to take me, so I can admit it generously, why do you want to cover it up here?"

This time, the little girl couldn't answer.

Seeing that this matter was about to take a turn for the better, Bai Shi hurriedly pinched Yan Luji and reminded: "Did she do a search of her house to know that there must be tools to set fire in such a short period of time." ”

"Auntie, don't bother, the evidence you want is here, flint, sulfur, fire and salt, there are so many and so many things, not to mention that I set fire to an ancestral hall, even if I have to make some gunpowder overnight, it is not difficult."

Mingyue threw the things she brought in front of everyone, full of a package, thinking that she was a woman who didn't leave the door and didn't step out, how could she get these things.

Bai Shi took a deep breath to calm himself, "What do you mean by this, is it possible that we have wronged you!" You've always been scheming, and it's not hard to entrust someone to buy something. ”

Qin Huai didn't deny it, looking at her like she was sitting on pins and needles.

"My aunt is also from a famous family, and she has learned a lot and knows a lot, but now why has she become so stupid after marrying a woman?"

"You!"

Qin Huai looked up at the place where the fire had started, and once again opened his mouth to ask everyone.

"Look at the place where the fire is burning, one is a real window, the other is on the eaves, these two places are very easy to let the smoke disperse and not easy to burn people, if I really want to kill my two sisters, why do I do so publicly, for fear that the family will not see and come to fight the fire?"

She is right, but even if it is like this, who would dare to agree with the people standing around now.

"And since you said it wasn't you, who else would it be? Jasper was injured in a fall before, and today she is made up as an arrow, you are afraid that we are asking for you, and you actually coaxed my two daughters to come to the ancestral hall in a fit of anger, not what is it with a grudge! It's no secret that you behave unpredictably, and you only care about your own pleasure, so how do we know what your purpose is! ”

The Bai family is sure that Qin Huai has no evidence to prove his innocence today, and he will give her this charge no matter what.

"I want to ask my aunt, you know that your sister is injured, and you also said that you have been by your side, why did you let her come out to the appointment in the middle of the night? You didn't even know she was going to the appointment, so how would you know what she had done behind your back? ”

At this time, Bai Shi was speechless and couldn't continue to argue, but Yan Cheng on the side was sober and timely.

"Mother...... What's wrong with me? ”

Seeing that Yan Cheng woke up, the doctor stepped forward to check again, and Bai also came over to inquire about the situation.

"Hey, my makeup, you've woken up, tell me how the hell you got here! Who harmed you? ”

Yan Xiangcheng endured the sharp pain on his shoulder and coughed twice, his eyes wandered around, and the next moment he moved to Qin Huai.

"My cousin invited me and my eldest sister to come, but ...... Why did it suddenly catch fire, and we couldn't get out......"

"Look, is it possible that we will deliberately use this kind of bitter trick to frame you?" Bai couldn't wait to repeat it, for fear that Qin Huai would run away.

"Mother...... I have witnesses. ”

Yan Xiangcheng got up with a slight tremble, and pointed weakly to the distance.

Even if Yan Cheng didn't say it, Qin Huai had been looking forward to it for a long time, she just wanted to know how she would turn this matter upside down after the appearance of the jade slave, and then splash a puddle of muddy water on herself.

Sure enough, the person who was brought up was Yu Nu, and her hands were tied with ropes, just like when Qin Huai treated Cui Ming.

"When she came to invite my young lady, my young lady was puzzled and deliberately left her behind, but I didn't expect it to be a problem!" Seeing that the old man was suspicious, the maid who made up her face immediately knelt down and explained.

"Yunu has seen the lord and the lady."

The jade slave leaned over to salute, her expression was very unnatural, and she seemed to have been greatly wronged, which made Qin Huai a little incomprehensible.
