Chapter 66: The First Intimate Encounter
Chu Yunfei didn't have any score in his heart. Since Green Peony hadn't done anything since he left the letter, he wasn't sure if someone was copying the crime or if it was just a prank. The relationship between the Li family is complicated, and one by one they are afraid of becoming the object of suspicion, so they try their best to clear themselves. Unexpectedly, the investigation had not yet ended, and the second lady and the fifth lady had a conflict. Woman
If you quarrel, nothing will happen. The two of them quickly quarreled, and then several shocking news broke out: when the fifth lady accused the second lady of often pestering her husband, the second lady completely denied it, and said that at the third watch on the night of Li Dashanren's disappearance, she saw Ping'er enter the study.
Chu Yunfei noticed that when the second lady said this, Ping'er's face changed. then denied the second lady's statement.
"You still don't admit it? Although I am old, my eyes are not dazzling! You have the ability to make the master happy, but you don't have the ability to make us all believe in you. On the fifteenth of last month, in the woods outside the gate of Xiangguo Temple, I saw you and a young man with my own eyes. The second lady said with a bad face.
The fifth lady, who was arguing with her, also stopped, and looked at Ping'er who was at a loss with a bit of schadenfreude. The eldest prince simply avoided it as if he was avoiding suspicion.
"I ...... I...... Not really, I just ......"
Ping'er was anxious to explain, but where would the second lady give her room to fight back, "It must be you, you even talk about your identity, one moment you say that your family has received the favor of the master, and the next time you say that there is no one in the family." I see that you came to the Li family for a purpose. Committed to the master, just to calculate the Li family's wealth! Otherwise, just by your face, what kind of man do you want you can't find? ”
Ping'er's face turned red, and then she looked at the eldest prince who was hiding to the side with tears in her eyes, and then at Chu Yunfei, and burst into tears. This is the situation that Chu Yunfei can't bear to see the most, you must know that he is famous for his pity and pity, how can he bear to let such a beautiful woman be so helpless? However, he has a spectrum in his heart, at least the second lady's words don't sound like they were fabricated out of thin air, and Ping'er will definitely not be as simple as he thinks.
Just when Chu Yunfei asked Homer to take the others to another room and wanted to ask Ping'er in detail, Ping'er made a request to go back to her room to change clothes. Chu Yunfei would never refuse a request for a beautiful woman, let alone an emotionally unstable woman. He readily agreed.
Ping'er changed her clothes and didn't come back for half an hour. The fifth lady felt that something was wrong, and sent someone over to check, only to find that she had packed up and left.
"She's gone? No way...... When pigs fly! The fifth lady almost screamed, her face full of disbelief, "Since my lord was kidnapped, I have been very careful, and the back door has long been locked by someone, and two locks have been added to it, which are kept by the second sister and me separately." Isn't the front door always guarded? How could it be possible to watch her leave? ”
The janitor who was found had an inexplicable expression on his face, obviously a little dissatisfied. Facing Chu Yunfei's questioning, he said with great certainty that since Chu Yunfei and He Ma came here, no one has ever left the courtyard again. However, about half an hour ago, a beggar with ragged clothes, unkempt hair, and a burden on his back stood at the door and tried to come in, but he beat him out.
"Could it be that she will fly off the wall?" Qiao'er interjected on the side. But obviously, the slight frown indicates that she does not believe such a conclusion.
Chu Yunfei hesitated for a moment and sighed loudly: "It's really cunning!" She walked out through the gate! The ragged beggar was the Sixth Lady. When you see her, is she already in the yard with her back to the gate? ”
The janitor nodded suspiciously, the expression on his face seemed to be surprised, how did Chu Yunfei know? Could it be that he was there too?
"That's right. She takes advantage of people's habitual thinking. Think about it, when a beggar appears at the gate, people will naturally think that the person came in from the outside, and it is impossible to come out from the inside, let alone someone pretending to be a beggar! That's why she was able to swagger out of the Li family! Chu Yunfei explained.
Homer is a little discouraged! This person slipped away from Chu Yunfei's hand, but why did he look anxious at all, but his face was relaxed? Without waiting for He Ma to speak, who expected Chu Yunfei to say easily: "Now do you want to check the background of this Ping girl first?" There's no way she's not going to leave a clue. ”
He pretended to be relaxed, but he already felt that something seemed to be wrong, since the sixth lady was able to escape with all her might, it means that she must have a ghost in her heart, so how did she enter the Li family? How did he win the trust of the Jia family? As soon as he finished speaking, the fifth lady explained that she had been sent by her aunt. Before and after, everyone, including the second lady who had been in the Li family for the longest time, had not seen Ping'er's family, and Li Dashan didn't seem to remember it. The woman who Ping'er called her aunt only appeared once on the day Ping'er was accepted as a concubine.
It seems that Ping'er is not only scheming, but also designed a retreat for herself early on.
He Ma searched for the address of Ping'er's house given by the Li family, and found that the address and the person did not match at all, the family didn't know Ping'er at all, and they didn't know Ping'er's aunt, and what was even more ridiculous was that the family didn't even know the name of Li Dashanren, until He Ma mentioned the richest man in the city, they nodded as if they didn't understand. The neighbors also confirmed that they did not know Ping'er.
"That's how you guys investigated?" The fifth lady was obviously very dissatisfied, Chu Yunfei and He Ma's investigation was a complete joke in her opinion. Such an important person, and a powerless woman, actually slipped away from under his Chu Yunfei's nose, which really made people laugh out of their big teeth. She shouted almost with all her might, "What should I do? What are you invited to do? We might as well handle it ourselves. Also, what the hell is going on with Ping'er? Could it be that she was an accomplice of the kidnappers? Also the people of Green Peony? They're really willing to spend their money. ”
Chu Yunfei looked calm, everything was still under his control at the moment, and there was no need to explain the mystery of the kidnapping letter to the Li family for the time being, "Since she took the initiative to jump out, she must have left a lot of clues." Fifth lady, may you show us around her bedroom? Also, didn't the second lady say that the sixth lady once met someone in Xiangguo Temple? You might as well tell me what that person looks like, and maybe we'll find out something too. ”
Out of the gate of Li's house, Ping'er found a secluded corner and ripped off the dirty clothes that were put on the outside, and checked the burden in her hand with satisfaction, with a smug smile on her face. What about one of the best arrests in the capital, she still escaped from under his nose? Thinking of this, she secretly thought to herself that it would be more appropriate to see where it would be appropriate to escape. Just when she was secretly calculating,
A cold sword rested on her neck, and then a few words that were so cold that she shivered reached her ears: "Miss Ping, it's really made me wait for a long time!"
