Xin Yi was stunned for a moment, and subtle emotions immediately appeared on his face.

Could it be that the letter was really put in by Linglong? That delicate man who has always been faithful to the Lord...... She still remembers that the third lady has a soft temperament, and is often bullied by the fourth lady and the sixth lady, Linglong has been severely punished several times in order to protect her own lady, and once she was locked in the firewood room for three days and three nights and could not eat a mouthful of food or drink a sip of water, and after coming out, she had a serious illness and was almost sent out of the house.

She always felt that she couldn't believe that such a delicate dragon could do something like a traitor!

Mo Xiaodie glanced at Xin Yi's face, tapped her index finger on the table, and said, "Have you ever checked that she or her family has encountered any difficulties recently?" ”

Qinglong said: "Linglong's father is addicted to gambling, she was sold into Nanping Houfu because of her father's debt, after that, her father has reined in a lot, but half a year ago he began to go in and out of the gambling house again, not to mention losing all the family's savings, but also owed money to the underground bank.

Linglong took out the savings she had saved for several years and it was not enough to pay off the debt, and now she would send her home as soon as she came down every month, and she couldn't even take out the shackles of her little brother going to school at home, so Linglong's parents had been arguing for more than half a year.

Just yesterday evening, Linglong's mother picked up a purse in her yard, which contained fifty taels of silver, just enough to pay off the remaining debts and some leftovers, but the whole family did not know where this purse came from. ”

Xin Yi's brows furrowed, Mo Xiaodie was silent for a while, but said, "There are two doubts about this matter. ”

Xin Yi, who had almost believed that this matter was really done by Linglong, was slightly stunned, and Qinglong couldn't help but glance up at the woman in front of him.

Will there be doubts? He thought that after checking this one, the matter of Linglong's betrayal was already very clear.

Mo Xiaodie glanced at Qinglong and said, "One, if Linglong really did things for the sake of the silver, why did she put down the silver and disappeared without a trace?" If she is said to be weak-hearted and dare not come back, but she has done this matter quite secretly, if we hadn't secretly intervened in the investigation, there is a high probability that she would not have been found out. ”

Xin Yi thought for a while, "The lady also said, the thief went around in such a big circle, he must have noticed that there was someone watching around the third lady, maybe he told Linglong, Linglong knew that he was very likely to be found out, so he naturally had to hide." ”

Mo Xiaodie nodded, "Your guess is reasonable, but if Linglong knows that there is such a big risk, why did she choose to use this way?" She used to pay off the remaining debt with every month's money, indicating that this debt was given time for them to pay off, if the underground money bank was suddenly very tight, Qinglong and they should be able to find out, but Qinglong didn't mention this.

Taking a step back, the underground bank did put pressure on them to pay off their debts, but it was done more secretively, and Qinglong didn't find out, so why didn't she try to ask the third sister for help? I just heard Qinglong say that their family doesn't owe much debt this time, although the third sister is just a concubine, but only fifty taels, can she still take it? ”

The monthly salary of the children of Nanping Houfu is two taels of silver per month, and the children of the concubine are halved, usually they spend most of their time in the house, if they are not infected with any vices, there is basically no place to spend money.

Coupled with the New Year's money given by the elders during the New Year's holidays or their own jewelry and clothes, even Wei Ziyi, who was often deducted by the Guo family, also had savings of almost three hundred taels when she married the eldest princess of Rongyang, and it should not be very difficult for Wei Ziling to take out fifty taels to help her personal maid who is in love with her sisters.

Not to mention, Wei Ziling has always had her own mother-in-law to help her in this mansion.

Xin Yi subconsciously said: "Perhaps, Linglong once tried to ask the third lady for help......" Before the words fell, she was shocked, blessed her body and said: "The lady forgives her sins, the slave maid said this without any meaning." ”

Didn't she say this clearly that the third lady was unwilling to help Linglong, so Linglong was cornered and chose another path?

Mo Xiaodie glanced at her appreciatively, "Forgive what the crime, you have done a good job, and the investigation of the case should abandon all personal feelings, think about the problem from the most objective and closest to human perspective, and question everything, even questioning the seemingly impeccable truth, is the first step in the investigation of the case." ”

Xin Yi was stunned for a moment, Rao was used to the difference of the lady, and her heart couldn't help but move slightly at this time.

Such a lady really shouldn't just be trapped in the back house deep in the courtyard and waste her life.

Qinglong looked at Mo Xiaodie, and his eyes were full of admiration, worthy of Wei Niangzi, even the maidservants around her were so smart and clear!

When will he change his name to Mrs. Wei Niangzi? Anyway, Mrs. Wei was originally their wife! Damn the letter of resignation!

Qinglong's resentful gaze couldn't help but shoot towards Wei Niangzi's desk, as an excellent secret guard of Feiyan Pavilion, he naturally figured out all the important things on the first day he came, for example, where was the resignation book that sealed a thousand swords......

Mo Xiaodie looked at Qinglong's bitter and hateful eyes, and suddenly felt an inexplicable chill in her heart, did she say anything strange just now? No, right......

He frowned and thought for a while before he said, "Now that there are six days left before August 16, we don't need to worry, let's see what the thief is doing on August 16." ”

If the lewd thief is under the close gaze of her and Xiao Churui, and has the ability to get close to Wei Ziling, then she and Xiao Churui don't have to mix, oh no, I almost forgot that she is just a backhouse woman who is nothing now, and she can't mix if she wants to, it should be Xiao Churui and his people who don't need to mix.

"Qinglong, you continue to check down the line of Linglong, focusing on what actions the underground bank where their family owes money recently, or whether she has any other abnormalities during this time, and see if you can find any clues."

"Yes!"

"And ......" After a pause, Mo Xiaodie slowly opened her lips, "You go and check, my third sister has gone out to pawn things recently." ”

At this moment, Qinglong and Xin Yi were stunned, but Mo Xiaodie didn't say anything on this topic, and after ordering Qinglong, he took Xin Yi to visit Wei Chengxuan.

……

Finally, the three-day exam was over, and on August 15, Mo Xiaodie and Wei Ziqing went to the Gongyuan to pick up Wei Chengxuan home.

Seeing Wei Chengxuan walking out with a look of spirit, Mo Xiaodie's mind was completely put down, and he greeted him with a smile and asked, "How is it?" ”

Wei Chengxuan touched his head, and said with a smile: "I've done my best, if I can't pass the exam, I can only do what the second sister said, and study obediently for another three years!" ”

So good, so good~ Mo Xiaodie couldn't help but touch Wei Chengxuan's head with satisfaction, and Wei Chengxuan blushed and avoided it.

I don't know if it's the bad taste of the Ministry of Etiquette, the last day of this autumn festival is actually set on August 15, which is intended to make the candidates who are not good at psychological quality not have a good holiday!

No matter how much Mo Xiaodie's sisters and brothers want to celebrate the holiday with Wei Ziqing and his wife, they also have to go back to Nanping Houfu first, such a big day, is how many whirlpools are hidden in Houfu on weekdays, and they also want to get together for a meal with a happy face.

Wei Ziqing held a younger brother and sister in one hand, and said reluctantly: "Later, the eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law will come to pick you up and go out for a walk, I have already told the Guo family." ”

Mo Xiaodie was stunned, "Guo agreed?" ”

Wei Ziqing nodded and smiled soothingly: "This time, I haven't said much, and Guo Shi agreed." Don't worry, no matter what, Guo will also give your brother-in-law some face. ”

Mo Xiaodie frowned slightly, that's the case, Yuan Hongjie is just a small editor of the Hanlin Academy, Guo has already given Wei Ziqing a lot of face because of this, but if she will keep backing down because of this, it is not Guo's anymore.

No matter what, in front of the huge Guo family, Yuan Hongjie is really nothing, not to mention that now that Wei Chengye has finished the Qiu Yu exam, the Guo family can also free up his hands to deal with her.

This time, Mo Xiaodie couldn't be as optimistic as Wei Ziqing.
