Chapter 265: Zhang's Siege Lifted
Chapter 265 Zhang's Siege Cleared
"There is a sweeping girl in your mansion, named Hui Xian, can the eldest girl recognize her?"
Wei Yuan was stunned, obviously unfamiliar with this name.
She frowned slightly, subconsciously turned back to look at Wang Chuan, and pursed her lips slightly: "Uncle Chuan, who is that?" β
Wang Chuan's face changed, but it was only in the blink of an eye, and when Wei Yuan looked at it again, the expression on his face was the same as usual, as if she was just dazzled before.
She didn't think much about it, so naturally she didn't have time to think about it, and asked two more questions: "This girl's name sounds very unfamiliar, is it the girl who sprinkled and swept in our house?" Have I seen her? β
Wang Chuan only took a small half step forward at this time, and then took a step to the left-hand side, and when he bowed back to Wei Yuan's words, he was actually returning to Guo Min'an for her: "There is indeed such a girl in the house, who is responsible for sprinkling and sweeping in the garden, and she has been in the house for a few years." It's just that this girl can't see her masters on weekdays, and she is not worthy to serve in front of the girls, and the eldest girl doesn't recognize her. β
Wei Yuan sighed, and turned to look at Guo Min'an: "How does the prefect know about her?" β
Guo Min'an smiled meaningfully, and when the smile was raised, he straightened his expression: "Qi Yu said that after the loss of the jade pendant in the house, she remembered that before that, Qi Niang fell ill for no reason, but she quietly got up again, and saw a little girl with a raw face in private, this matter, the eldest girl always remembers, right?" β
Wei Yuan's face really changed.
This matter was specially told by her to Qiyu, and it was inevitable that there would be extraneous branches, so don't talk about it to anyone.
The girl Qi Niang saw at that time, they hadn't seen it, Qiyu was very popular in the house, and the little girls at the bottom screamed all day long, and she also loved to play with those young girls, and there were few girls who she felt was born.
At that time, Wei Yuan didn't think much about it, but after the accident, he felt that more things were better than less.
Although she was in front of Sun Xi, she had some arguments about Qingle Courtyard in her words, but if she really wanted to say that she would pour dirty water on the head of Qingle Courtyard for this kind of thing, she couldn't do it, and she didn't feel that there was no need to cause trouble, she really wanted to make the people in the yamen think that Qingle Yuan was a thief herself, and take the people in the courtyard back to the palace for interrogation one by one, and it was not their Wei family who was ashamed.
Besides, now that Wei Luan is not at home, she has moved the service in her room, and when she comes back, she will not make a fuss about it, Wei Yuan feels a headache when she thinks about it, so she repeatedly explained to Qiyu and did not mention it to anyone.
Now that Guo Min'an said this, it was obvious that Qi Yu had said everything in the lobby.
Wei Yuan didn't know what happened in the hall, but Qiyu has always been the most obedient girl, if it wasn't for the accident, she wouldn't have told Guo Min'an about it.
What she was afraid of that day was extraneous branches, and now that the person has been brought back to the prefect's yamen, Qiyu has pierced this matter, that is, she is causing trouble!
Wei Yuan gritted her teeth: "Why did she say this to the adults in a good manner?" Her face no longer has that pie and grace, her face is tight, her two hands are wrapped in a big bag, overlapping each other, pinching hard, "I know this, I also told her not to go outside and talk nonsense, Qi Niang is Luan'er's nurse, we have always respected her, Luan'er is especially, she walks around with the little girl below on weekdays, we don't care, but I just saw a girl in private, what's the big deal, it's also Qiyu because of the loss of jade pendants at home, recalling what I saw that day, I was too nervous, But today when I came to the church, I talked to the adults again. β
Guo Min'an sighed, and the end note was deliberately prolonged: "That little girl with a face, it's this Hui Xian, does the big girl really not recognize her?" β
Only then did Wei Yuan realize that something was wrong.
Guo Min'an asked again and again, as if she should know Hui Xian, what is this? Suspicious of her?
She grimaced: "What do you mean, should I recognize her?" β
"I shouldn't know it, the official doesn't know, but Qi Niang said that the girl was in some difficulties at home that day, but she didn't know how to take leave in front of the housekeeper's mother-in-law, crying, and just called Qi Niang, who got up to the yard to relax after being sick for two days, bumped into itββ"
Guo Min'an raised his legs, and his toes were facing the direction where Wei Yuan was standing, he raised his eyebrows and looked over, and continued to say: "Qi Niang said that she gave her five taels of silver, and sent her to her house, and also took leave for her in front of the housekeeper's mother-in-law." That's it, the official sent someone to Huixian's house to ask, it is true that the family is in trouble, and it is also true that Huixian brought five taels of silver home, but the problem is that Huixian's father and brother and sister-in-law all said that she had already returned to the Wei family on an errand, but Cao Lu brought someone to your house and asked......"
He paused for a moment, and called Wang Chuan again: "Cao Lu came before, don't you know?" β
Wang Chuan's face sank.
He really didn't know.
He's the chief manager...... No, maybe Cao Lu had the intention to avoid him, and found the housekeeper to inquire, now this mansion is surrounded by people in the yamen, Cao Lu has other thoughts, to ask something behind their backs, he can't stare at so many things with a pair of eyes, and Sun Xi wanted to send a letter to Huzhou before, he really didn't pay attention to it, Cao Lu went to the mansion again.
Seeing this, Guo Minan realized in his heart: "It seems that you don't know." Cao Lu has seen the housekeeper, according to her, Hui Xian has never come back since she left the house that day, this month's monthly silver, or she received it for Hui Xian first, and it was also Su Ri to see that the girl was honest and able to work, so she took care of her more. Big girl, this living person, just disappeared like this, the official thought why should he come and ask, what do you say? β
Someone is missing, ask her what to do?
Wei Yuan is not confused, Guo Minan clearly suspects what she has done, and Hui Xian is probably not missing, eighty percent of them were killed by someone.
According to what Guo Min'an said, Hui Xian may not have met Qi Niang like that because of any difficulties encountered at home, it is impossible to say that she has colluded with Qi Niang, but she just borrowed the excuse of the difficulties encountered at home.
But Guo Minan didn't interrogate Qi Niang properly in the mansion, but ran to their house to question her, where did this come from?
Wei Yuan's face flushed with anger for a while, but he didn't know how to distinguish for himself.
"What my lord said is like our girl made Huixian disappear." When Wei Yuan was at a loss, Zhang's voice floated in from the direction of the door.
Everyone in the room was taken aback for a while, and they all looked back, only to see Zhang Shi stepping into the door with small steps, neither humble nor arrogant.
