Chapter 41: The murderer is finally locked on the clues
Zi Miaotang saw the back of Wei Qinghuan leaving, and after staring at it for a few seconds, she turned around and entered the guest hall, and said to Zi Xiangzhi, "Dad, do you already know about Brother Wei and the two named Fang You?" ”
Zi Xiangzhi sat on the chair and was still immersed in the grief of Xue's death, Zi Miaotang's voice made him stand up quickly, he touched his beard awkwardly, and said, "What did you say?" And with whom? ”
"Dad, I want to marry Brother Wei as soon as possible." Zi Miaotang did not answer her father's question, but directly stated the purpose of her coming to him. But to her surprise, Zi Xiangzhi didn't scold her, looked at him distressedly and said, "Are you sure you want to do this, Tang'er?" ”
Zi Miaotang was stunned for a moment, then nodded firmly, she looked at her father suspiciously, and asked, "But, Dad, what should you do because of Uncle Wei's promise?" ”
Zi Xiangzhi seemed to have already thought about it, and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I'll go back to the Wei family to make it clear, it's not a matter for the two of you to drag it out like this." ”
Zi Miaotang smiled and looked happy, but when she saw Zi Xiangzhi, she was worried: "But I'm afraid that someone will say that my father is not good behind my back because of this incident." ”
Zi Xiangzhi touched her daughter's head rarely, and said, "Good boy, it's hard for you to think about me at this time." When I said that, I thought you would hold a grudge against me...... Don't worry, in a few days, I will set your wedding date with the people of the Wei family. ”
"Brother Nawei...... Will he agree? Zi Miaotang's eyes were pale.
Zi Xiangzhi frowned slightly, looked into the distance, sighed and said, "This matter, I can't help him......"
Zi Miaotang knew that what his father said was probably above the court, but he was already very satisfied with his father's words, so he saluted Zixiang and withdrew. She had just walked two steps when she heard a sudden sound of something breaking in the living room, so she hurriedly lifted her skirt and went back, and saw Zixiangzhi drop the teacup to the ground, the tea flowed all over the ground, and the tea leaves were scattered everywhere.
She didn't dare to be alarmed, and after a while, she watched Zi Xiangzhi slowly sit on the chair before she went in and whispered, "Daddy......"
Zi Xiangzhi looked up and saw that her daughter was back again, so she hurriedly covered her reddish eyes, but she was still seen by Zi Miaotang.
"Daddy...... What's wrong with you? Zi Miaotang has never seen her father like this, he has always been so dignified and dignified in her eyes, and he has never had a gaffe.
Zi Xiangzhi didn't want her daughter to see her like this, so she said, "An old man has passed away......
Old friend? What kind of old man can make his father like this, even when Uncle Wei died, he never saw his father cry. She suddenly opened her mouth as if she thought of something, Xue Shi ......
Looking at Zi Xiangzhi's sad appearance, Zi Miaotang also felt heartache, and her father's appearance was also caused by herself. In addition, remembering Zi Xiangzhi's kindness to her before, she stepped forward and wanted to tell her father the reason for this incident, but when she thought of her mother, she stopped and just comforted: "Father...... Mourning, people cannot be resurrected after death. ”
"Go back to your room, I want to be alone for a while." Zi Xiangzhi glanced at Zi Miaotang and said. When Zi Miaotang heard this, he left obediently.
Fang You returned home with swollen eyes, and saw Xue Qi sitting there stupidly, and Shi Nian was also guarding Xue Qi on the side. She thought that Xue Qi had calmed down, so she beckoned to Shi Nian and called Shi Nian out.
"What's wrong, Ayu?" Shi Nian asked.
"You said before that Master Zi killed his aunt out of love and hatred?" Fang You asked.
Shi Nian nodded, and said with great certainty: "That's right, I heard what the maid in their house said. ”
"How did you get to the Purple Mansion?" Fang You asked what he had been very curious about.
I saw Shi Nian say with some twist: "I used to weave cloth and sell it in the cloth village, but I met the eldest lady of the Purple Mansion......"
"Zi Miaotang?" Fang You asked.
Shi Nian nodded when she heard this, thinking that this Zi Miaotang really didn't lie to her, she really knew the third sister, so she asked Fang You bluntly: "That Miss Zi also said that she knew you, and asked me to report your situation to her often." After finishing speaking, he realized that he seemed to have said something that he shouldn't say, and hurriedly covered his mouth and explained: "Third sister, don't think about it, I will always be on your side!" ”
"What do you want to report me to her?" Fang You didn't listen to her explanation, and continued.
Shi Nian tugged at the corner of his clothes, feeling that he couldn't hide, so he whispered: "She asked me to bring people who have come to you every day...... Tell her. ”
"Can you say that?" Fang You sneered and then asked, it seems that this Zi Miaotang really likes Wei Qinghuan very much, and even asked the people around her to spy on her.
"I ......," Shi Nian said.
"Did you say that?" Fang You said, "Don't worry, I won't blame you." ”
"Really?" Shi Nian raised his head, "Third sister, don't you really blame me?" Because of that incident six years ago, I've been afraid that you have a grudge against me for the past few years......"
"There was a grudge," Fang said, "but not now." ”
Shi Nian nodded inexplicably, although she didn't know what Fang You meant, she was still very happy to hear her say this. Then he took Fang You's hand and said, "Doesn't the third sister want to know how I entered the Purple Mansion?" ”
"Hmm," Fang You was almost taken away by her, so he asked, "How did you get in?" How did you hear that? ”
"On the second day of Aunt Xue's death, Zi Miaotang sent someone to find me, saying that she and her mother admired the cloth I weaved and wanted to invite me to their house for a meal, but I refused, but then she said that she had something to tell me about the cause of Aunt Xue's death, and as soon as I heard it, I followed her to the house."
"And after that? She told you about it? Fang You asked.
"After that, we all sat at the table, and when the food came up, Mrs. Meng called Zi Miaotang ......out as if something was wrong," Shi Nian said, and it seemed that there was no suspicion at all now.
"Mrs. Meng?" Fang You asked.
"It's the eldest lady of Zifu, Zi Miaotang's mother." Shi Nian explained, "After the two of them went out, I heard the conversation between the two maids outside the room, saying that Master Zi sent someone to kill Aunt Xue. When I heard this, I was really anxious and angry, so I hurried back and told you. ”
Fang You thought for a moment when he heard this, then frowned and said, "They are deliberately telling you this." ”
"What do you mean? Why did those two maids do this? Shi Nian was still puzzled, she didn't know the two maids, why did the two maids tell her about it?
"That's what Zi Miaotang and Mrs. Meng deliberately told you about those two maids." Fang You looked at her somewhat stupid appearance, but still patiently explained.
Shi Nian came to his senses, "Ah, exactly, so that's the case." But Master Zi and them are close relatives, why should they tell me the truth? ”
"That's where the confusion lies." Fang You said, "Just now...... Master Wei, told me, he was sure that this matter was not done by Master Zi. ”
"Lord Wei......" Shi Nian felt uncomfortable when he heard the word "Wei".
The sadness in Fang You's eyes flashed, "Don't worry, I have nothing to do with him anymore." ”
Shi Nian hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I didn't mean that, third sister, I just felt uncomfortable when I heard the word 'Wei'...... Besides, he might have nothing to do with that Guardforce? ”
"He's Guard's son." When Fang You said this, he felt a cramp in his heart.
"Huh?" Shi Nian didn't expect it to be like this, and she was at a loss for a while, should she comfort Fang You, or persuade her to leave Wei Qinghuan? Fang You pretended to smile lightly: "I have nothing to do with him in the first place, you don't have to think about comforting me." ”
"But ......" The third sister told a lie this time, even she could see it, she must be very sad and sad, Shi Nian didn't know what it was like in her heart, could this be the creation of people?
"It's nothing, don't worry about me. Now that my aunt is gone, we have to appease Ah Qi and take care of him first. Fang You took Shi Nian's hand and said.
Fang You's actions and words made Shi Nian feel that the three of them were dependent on each other, and he couldn't help but feel moved and sad, so he forgot about what he wanted to comfort Fang You just now, and then said: "Third sister, you are right, the main thing for us now is to take care of Ah Qi, and then find out the murderer of Aunt Xue. ”
"My aunt told me before she left that Ah Qi is her and Master Zi's child." Fang You whispered in Shi Nian's ear. Shi Nian almost exclaimed when she heard this, there were really too many things that shocked her this day.
Fang You hurriedly covered Shi Nian's mouth, "Shh, this matter can't be known by Ah Yan, my aunt hasn't told him before, I think there must be her reason, I guess I'm afraid that Ah Qi will suffer an accident." ”
"What do you mean by the third sister?" Shi Nian glanced at the room and asked.
"Aunt Xue and Master Zi once fell in love with each other, and Ah Qi is their child again, and Meng and Zi Miaotang deliberately let the maid say those words to you, so that we think that Master Zi killed Aunt Xue......" Fang You said while combing through the clues.
"Why is it so messy?" Shi Nian scratched his head and said with a distressed expression, "Then what should we do now?" ”
"Go find Mrs. Meng." Fang You said coldly.
"Why?" Shi Nian still didn't understand what she meant.
Fang You sighed, and then explained: "Because, it may be that Mrs. Meng is looking for someone to kill Aunt Xue and Ah Qi. ”
"Mrs. Meng!" Shi Nian reflected on this, thought about it carefully, patted his head and said, "No wonder Mrs. Meng has been asking me about Aunt Xue before!" ”
Fang You hurriedly covered Shi Nian's mouth again: "Shh, be quiet, now we are not sure, we can't let Ah Qi know, otherwise he won't know what he will do on impulse." ”
Shi Nian was busy when he heard this, and then he blamed himself very much, and said: "Third sister, I feel that I hurt Aunt Xue, if I don't talk too much, Aunt Xue won't die......"
"Don't say that...... It's not your fault, it's just that some people are too scheming......" Fang Yu squinted his eyes and said in the distance.
