The development of things greatly exceeded Xiaoman's expectations, she thought it was just a small friction and contradiction in the embroidery, but when she asked, she knew that there was another thing hidden inside, and when she wanted to find out about this matter, another thing came out......

She felt as if she had fallen into a trap, after all, it had all come by coincidence.

"Qian Xiaoshan, apart from Wei Qi, what else did you see? Or is there anyone else who can prove that what you just said is true? Xiaoman asked.

Qian Xiaoshan thought for a moment, then shook his head, "No." ”

Xiao Man coughed lightly, and was about to say something, when Jia Meng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, she said: "Madam, no matter what, I don't believe that Wei Qi would do such a thing, this must be a misunderstanding!" ”

This time, Qian Xiaoshan did not refute excitedly as before, but said lightly: "Have you ever done such a thing, Wei Qi knows it in his heart, if you don't believe it, just ask her." ”

"Just ask!" Jia Meng said hatefully.

The two who were still close to each other seemed to be on the same page at this time for the sake of Wei Qi, who was not there at all.

Xiao Man felt more and more headaches, she took a sip of the tea that was already a little cold, and said: "In the end, Wei Qi still has to come out to testify about this matter, but she has something to do with this matter, presumably if she really does it, she will not admit it so easily." ”

As he spoke, Xiao Man raised his head and looked at Qian Xiaoshan and Jia Meng, and frowned, "Where is Wei Qi's house, I want to go and see it myself." ”

Hearing this, Jia Meng was a little surprised, she was stunned for a moment, and then hesitated: "Madam, this... That doesn't seem like a good idea, right? You're a daughter after all, and the Wei Qi family—"

Without waiting for Jia Meng to finish speaking, Qian Xiaoshan interrupted majestically and asked in an impatient tone: "What's wrong?" Jia Meng, you shouldn't be weak-hearted and don't want your wife to know the truth, right? Are you afraid that Wei Qi really has a private deal with Xiaoxue? ”

"Nope!" Jia Meng's face turned red with anger, and he clenched his fists and retorted: "I didn't!" Madame, you must believe me, I absolutely did not mean that! ”

"Alright, alright." Xiao Man raised his hand to interrupt the quarrel between the two and said, "Listening to your tone, you should all know this Wei Qi family, right?" In this case, you two will come with me, so that we can ask you what is going on in person. ”

"If Wei Qi really colludes with Xiaoxue, then I will punish him severely, but if someone deliberately frames ......"

As he spoke, Xiao Man's gaze swept over Qian Xiaoshan's eyes, suggesting that it was full of meaning.

And after Qian Xiaoshan came into contact with Xiaoman's gaze, he still raised his head with his chest straight, looking very confident, without any weakness.

Seeing this, Xiao Man coughed lightly, "Let's go." ”

instructed his subordinates to prepare a carriage, Xiaoman specially called for pearls, and under the guidance of Qian Xiaoshan and Jia Meng, the group walked to Wei Qi's house.

The Wei family business is very large, and there are countless maids in the house, but at the same time, there are a lot of rules that people have to abide by.

For example, Wei Qi, after she entered the Wei Mansion, because of her outstanding performance, hard work, and very cleverness, she was very appreciated by her master, and she was given a surname in less than half a year, which is very different from other rough maids.

Rao is a favored maid like Wei Qi, and after she gets sick, she is forced to leave the mansion and return to her home to recuperate.

The group walked for about half an hour, and the carriage stopped under the guidance of Qian Xiaoshan, she pointed to a narrow alley in front of her, and said, "Madam, Wei Qi's house is at the end of this alley. ”

Sold to a large family to be a maid, although the food and clothing will be much better than before, and the monthly money can also subsidize the family, but after all, it is a job to be sent by others, but any family that can support their children will never sell their daughters.

Therefore, when he saw the narrow alley that couldn't even be crossed by a carriage, Xiao Man just frowned, and there was no obvious surprise on his face.

She got out of the carriage with the help of Pearl, carefully lifted the corners of her skirt, avoided the frozen muddy water on the ground, and under the leadership of Qian Xiaoshan, entered the alley and walked towards Wei Qi's house.

As soon as they entered the slightly dark and cramped alley, everyone heard the sound of whining and crying not far away.

When I looked up again, I saw a white cloth hanging at the door of a family at the end of the alley, and a piece of white paper was posted at the door, and there was a faint sound of men and women crying in the door, which made the alley more and more weird.

Xiao Man didn't have time to shudder, she subconsciously wrapped the robe on her body, frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Jia Meng was also a little puzzled, she took two steps forward, looked on tiptoe, and then turned around and said, "It seems that someone is doing a funeral." ”

"I'll take a look!" Qian Xiaoshan volunteered to go.

Xiaoman, Pearl and Jia Meng waited in place, seeing Qian Xiaoshan trotting forward and entering the door again, but they didn't come back for a long time, they couldn't help but be a little anxious.

"Why haven't you come back yet, I'm almost freezing to death." Jia Meng muttered quietly, opened her hand and sighed a few times into her palm, then rubbed her hands, frowned and looked at her sleeves.

Xiaoman is also a little anxious, today's weather is very bad, the weather is gloomy, the north wind is blowing hard, this alley is narrow and dark, as if all the wind has blown into this alley.

"Pearl, go and see what's going on." She urged.

Pearl was too busy to respond, and then trotted forward, but before she could get closer, Qian Xiaoshan happened to come out.

She stepped forward and asked, "What the hell is going on, what is going on in front of you?" ”

"Wei Qi is dead."

The alley was very quiet, except for the whistling north wind was the sound of the funeral at the end of the alley, so Qian Xiaoshan's voice floated over without hindrance and reached the ears of Xiaoman and Jia Meng.

Jia Meng's eyes widened, and she murmured in disbelief: "What ......"

Seeing this, Qian Xiaoshan sighed, walked back with his head slumped, looked at Xiao Man, and said: "Wei Qi was sick a few days ago, and the Wei Mansion asked her to go home to recuperate, but since Wei Qi went home, the situation has been getting worse day by day, plus the two days have been getting colder and colder, and in just two or three days, she has no ......."

"How is it possible..."Jia Meng was still in shock in disbelief, she whispered vigorously: "I saw her a few days ago, she was just typhoid fever, even if her face was worse, but it didn't come to this point after all......

The Wei family was quite lenient to Wei Qi, and when they learned that she had typhoid fever, although they let her go home to recuperate, in order not to let her family treat her harshly, they specially gave her half a month's monthly money in advance, so that she could use the money to see a doctor.

Even if the weather is colder these days, it won't be a few days before you die!

The more Jia Meng thought about it, the more strange she felt, so she didn't care about the obstruction of Xiaoman and others, she ran forward with a horizontal heart, and went straight to the door of the funeral.

"Jia Meng!" Qian Xiaoshan hurriedly drank: "Their family is holding a funeral, what are you going to do as an outsider?" If you really don't give up, let's go to the cemetery in a few days to worship! ”

But Jia Mengquan didn't hear it, and he didn't even stop his footsteps for a moment.

Seeing this, Xiao Man, who stayed in place, sighed: "Forget it, this news came suddenly, it's normal for her to not dare to believe it, besides, they were still friends when they were alive, go and take a look at it at this time, presumably Wei Qi's family won't say anything." ”

It's just that things have developed here, and the only clue is broken again.

"Madame, it's cold outside, go and sit in the carriage." Pearl said.

Xiao Man nodded, returned to the carriage with Pearl's support, and let Pearl and Qian Xiaoshan also sit in, so that they could learn more about Wei Qi.

According to Qian Xiaoshan, Wei Qi's family background is very bad, there are a lot of sisters and brothers in the family, and his father died early, leaving only an old mother to pull a few children. Because the family was too poor, Wei Qi's sisters got married early, and she was sent to Wei Mansion to be a maid.

Since going to the Wei Mansion, Wei Qi has to give two-thirds of her monthly money to her family, but even so, she still saved a small amount of silver from between her teeth in case of emergency.

But who would have thought that such a little girl who worked hard to live would be killed by a typhoid fever.

After hearing this, Xiao Man couldn't help but sigh a little, she said: "The world is impermanent, no one can think of such a thing, without Wei Qi, I don't know what their family will do in the future." ”

"Wei Qi's mother is a shrewd lord, when Wei Qi didn't go to Wei Mansion before, she had a lot of ways to get money, so even if Wei Qi is not here now, she can support this family." Qian Xiaoshan said.

"Listen to what you mean, this Wei Qi's mother seems to be quite powerful?" Pearl asked.

Xiao Man, who was in a trance, was attracted by this sentence, and couldn't help but set his eyes on Qian Xiaoshan with Pearl, waiting for the other party's answer.

Qian Xiaoshan's afterglow glanced at Xiao Man and looked at herself, she smiled proudly in her heart, but she still pretended to be very sorry on her face, and said: "Wei Qi's mother is really very powerful, as early as after Wei Qi's biological father died, she has successively found several men, otherwise she is a woman, and there is not much money in the family, how can she pull so many children." ”

As he spoke, Qian Xiaoshan raised his eyelids, secretly glanced at the thoughtful Xiao Man, and continued: "Wei Qi is also pitiful enough, she was sent to a big family to be a maid at a young age, if it weren't for her own struggle, I'm afraid she would have died a long time ago." ”

"Huh? Why? Pearl continued.

"Her mother stipulated that she had to give the family money every month, if she gave less, or delayed for a few days, then her mother would go directly to the Wei Mansion to make trouble, so that Wei Qi could not come to the stage. I heard from the people of the Wei Mansion that Wei Qi had committed suicide several times! ”

Qian Xiaoshan's description made Xiaoman and Pearl goosebumps in the warm carriage.
