Chapter 57: Suicide? Murdered?
bsp; Chapter 57: Suicide? Murdered?
After learning about the incident on the shore of Chuncao Lake, early the next morning, Song Zaishui rushed to the courtyard by the lake.
Min Yinuo, who hadn't slept all night, learned that her sister-in-law was back, and she forced herself out to greet her, and when her sister-in-law met, Song Zaishui saw her face, so she hurriedly took two steps forward to help: "Second sister-in-law, you are not in good health, what are you doing when you come out to greet me?" It's just a few steps horizontally and vertically, and I don't recognize it. β
Since Min Yinuo passed the door, he kept in mind his parents' advice: he was respectful to his sister-in-law Huo, and he cared for his sister-in-law Song Zaishui, and he was colorless and colorless, which was very recognized by her husband's family, and Song Zaishui's words really felt sorry for her.
Since my sister-in-law is close, she is being supported at this moment, and she is not hypocritical, she smiled weakly, and said, "I saw that scene with my own eyes yesterday...... Although you are accompanied by your second brother, you still haven't slept all night. It's hard to settle down at this time, and it's restless to stay in the house, so it's better to come out and take a few steps. β
"How so?" Song Zaishui asked in surprise, "Are people really ......?" β
"It's pitiful, I met it in time, in the middle of the night yesterday, there was news over there, and the Tao was rescued......" Min Yinuo still had a pale face at this moment, stopped talking again, and patted Song Zaishui's hand gently, "Let's go into the house and talk!" β
When he arrived in the house, he sent the idlers out, and ordered the henchmen of the two to guard the doors and windows, and Min Yinuo told the matter in one go: "Yesterday morning, your second brother went out to visit friends. I didn't have much to do when I was alone in the house, so I asked someone to make a snack and walked around. Counting that Chenguang is the time for your second brother to come back, he will rush back. Where did I think that when I arrived at the other courtyard, I saw Sister Wei Qi sitting under the embankment, with the handle of the umbrella leaning on her shoulders - I looked over from the turning embankment, and I only said that she was looking at the lake! When I got closer, I talked to her a few times and ignored her. I thought it strange that when I saw that there was no one on the left and right, I sent a maid down and pushed her umbrella to remind herβwho would have thought ......"
Min Yinuo's lips trembled slightly, and then he said, "Who would have thought that this push would see her sitting there looking at the lake?" She simply took a hairpin and stuck it into her chest, and some of the blood that came out dried up, and almost all of the light crimson collared narrow sleeves were dyed - not even breath! β
Song Zaishui heard this, although he didn't see it in person, he was surprised when he imagined it, and said, "Who did it?!" β
"The Wei family said that it was Hong'er, the ambassador daughter in front of Sister Wei Qi, who was punished by Sister Wei Qi for stealing things before. Later, because she begged bitterly, Sister Wei Qi was soft-hearted and spared her, but this maid actually held a grudge, and took advantage of the fact that Sister Wei Qi only took her out alone yesterday, and attacked the master! Although there were only two people in the room now, and there were still henchmen on the doors and windows, Min Yinuo still lowered his voice, "But I ...... I think that the hairpin, from the position and direction...... It's not like Hong'er murdered, but it's ...... It's very much like Sister Wei Qi's own hand! β
Song Zaishui was surprised, and said: "Sister-in-law, don't be surprised if I tell you the truth, I naturally believe in your eyesight." However, the temperament of the seventh lady of the Wei family, I have also heard it by chance, and it really doesn't look like a person who will commit suicide. β
If Wei Changjuan stabbed someone to death in a fit of anger, Song Zaishui believed it a little more......
Min Yinuo smiled bitterly and said: "Alas, sister, you are not familiar with Sister Wei Qi, Sister Wei Qi is actually not as unbearable as she says outside, she is just not sensible!" When it comes to the city, she really doesn't have anything, otherwise she wouldn't have treated Chang Ying's cousin like that in the first place. Everyone looked at her and seemed to be very powerful and difficult to mess with, but in fact, she was really not big enough to say that she was bold - listening to and watching her do all the daring things, it was because she didn't think about the consequences when she did it! β
Song Zaishui also believed this - Wei Changjuan did something after Wei Changying married into the imperial capital, which seemed to be aimed at Wei Changying, but in fact, it was Wei Shengyi's room that was the most bitter by her. This Miss Seven was so favored at home before, according to her original intention, she definitely wouldn't want to harm her family. However, almost everything she did was to go to the pit for the whole family...... If it weren't for ignorance, then there would only be one possibility that Wei Changjuan had a big enmity with Wei Shengyi's family in her previous life, and she would not be unhappy if she didn't kill her.
Song Zaishui groaned: "The meaning of the second sister-in-law is that Miss Wei Qi is really possible...... Commit suicide? β
"That's true." Min Yinuo and Wei Changjuan are distant cousins, and they grew up together, and they know this cousin's temperament very well, she nodded affirmatively, and said, "When my aunt died, I went to visit her, and her two sisters-in-law were in charge at that time, so it was inevitable that there were all kinds of inconsiderateness, and they also neglected the pain of Wei Qi's sister losing her mother...... She stood alone under the plum tree in the ice and snow and cried mournfully, which really made those who saw it ......"
Min Yinuo is very pitiful to Wei Changjuan, a distant cousin who grew up since childhood, Song Zaishui also loves his cousin very much, and has no good impression of Wei Changjuan, who has always been against her cousin Wei Changhuan, she is too lazy to listen to how pitiful Wei Changjuan is, so she interrupted: "The second sister-in-law knows Miss Wei Qi very well, and the sister-in-law said that she is a person who may commit suicide, and she can't be wrong." It's just that I think that even if Miss Wei Qi is not as spicy as the legend outside, she is the kind of person who will only force others to die and will never be able to kill herself, but she is not the one who can make her go to a dead end in a few words, right? But I don't know what brought her to this point? β
"How do I know?" Min Yinuo smiled bitterly and said, "I was scared yesterday...... There are not many people in the Biwei family who accompany her to the courtyard by Chuncao Lake, and I still have to ask the maids to help carry her back for treatment. However, those servants said that the seventh sister of the Dudao Wei was a little worried a few days ago, and she suddenly brought it up when she came to the Chuncao Lake Courtyard in the past two days. After coming, he didn't pay much attention to his subordinates...... You also know that when I left the cabinet, she hadn't been filial piety, so it was not easy to get along. It's been a little strange these days, but I don't know what's wrong with her? β
Having said that, Min Yinuo still guessed, "When my aunt died, Sister Wei Qi was sad and seemed to ...... Seems to have quarreled with her two sisters-in-law? Is it because of this? β
Song Zaishui said: "Being a sister-in-law is not sensible, and it is natural to teach a few lessons to be a sister-in-law." I think Miss Wei Qi's mother is full of filial piety, so it is impossible for her to think of more than two years ago now and be angry like this, right? If you say that you have been told by your sister-in-law recently, it is not the first time that you are horizontal and vertical, how can you be so angry that you are at a dead end? β
It's just that she asked and asked, and Min Yinuo couldn't say why-Song Zaishui proposed: "Why don't we go over and see her?" β
Of course, Min Yinuo knew that Song Zaishui didn't like Wei Changjuan, so he came over to inquire about this matter, and it was definitely not because he cared about Wei Changjuan, he must have good intentions. It's just that a married woman gets along well with her husband and her husband's family, and she is unwilling to offend her husband's family easily, so although she was suspicious, she still didn't say anything to ask Song Zaishui's true purpose, and only said euphemistically: "There is not even a presiding steward in the courtyard over there, and it is very chaotic now." And although Sister Wei Qi was fortunately rescued, the hairpin was pierced into the flesh, and she shed a lot of blood. I think the Wei family should take her back to the imperial capital for treatment now, right? β
Song Zaishui said: "It's still early!" Besides, if it wasn't for the second sister-in-law yesterday, Miss Wei Qi wouldn't have been able to save her. Since there is not even a steward in the Wei family's courtyard, why don't the second sister-in-law do it to the end and help the handle? β
Min Yinuo glanced at her with some surprise - she has also figured out her sister-in-law's temperament after passing through the door, Song Zaishui's vision is very high, and it is difficult for ordinary people to enter her eyes, but this does not mean that she is difficult to get along with. In fact, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to provoke her or get in her way, Song Zaishui is a very good person to get along with.
β¦β¦ How to say it, it is also compared to the standard of the lord of the seventy-two concubines of the three palaces and six courtyards, and he is so broad-minded that it is beyond the reach of ordinary women.
It is said that since Min Yinuo, the sister-in-law, has expressed her unwillingness to "visit" Wei Changjuan, according to Song's consistent temperament in Shui, she should stop here.
But now Song Zaishui has some unrelenting intentions......
Min Yinuo hesitated for a moment, leaned closer to her and asked in a low voice, "Sister, don't blame me for being too talkative, it's just ...... Isn't it Sister Wei Qi, what do you know? β
"I don't hide it from my sister-in-law." Song Zaishui sighed, but he didn't avoid it, and said cautiously, "If it weren't for the fact that she was afraid that she would be involved in a big event now, I wouldn't have hurried here this morning with the opening of the city gate......
Min Yinuo was taken aback when she heard her say a big thing, Song Zaishui is not a person who can't hold her breath, even she talks about big things, it's not a small plan! The two of them are now relatives of their sister-in-law, the so-called prosperity and loss, she didn't dare to slack off, and sat up straight: "What's wrong?" β
"It's hard for me to say this now." Song Zaishui gestured to her, and said, "Sister-in-law, don't blame me, this is not what I meant, it was the person I promised to give me the news, and I didn't even tell my father!" I only ask my sister-in-law to help me, and be sure to introduce me to Miss Shangwei Qi! β
Min Yinuo bit her lower lip and said, "Then you have to tell me what you are going to do after you see her, right?" That's how I can help you! And it's useless for you to go now, Sister Wei Qi, she probably won't wake up now! β
"I don't want to talk to her, I just want to see her." Song Zaishui shook his head and said, "It would be better if I could interrogate the ambassador girl who has been following her all these days." β
"Her original ambassador trusted Hong'er the most, but Hong'er was killed yesterday." Min Yinuo muttered, "This thing ......"
Song Zaishui frowned slightly, and said, "Didn't my sister-in-law think it was strange at that time?" That Hong'er is Miss Wei Qi's henchman and ambassador's daughter, and there is not even a decent steward in the other courtyard, but who would have the courage to kill that Hong'er? β
Min Yinuo's whole body was shocked when he heard this, and said: "Yes, I just thought that something was wrong yesterday - yesterday I was scared because I saw that Sister Wei Qi's whole body was covered in blood...... It's going to be restless! Now that I think about it, those servants who came out yesterday and said that it was Hong'er who murdered Wei Qi's sister and had been killed, I had never seen them when I went to Wei's house before! And later, when the doctor was invited to come over to treat Wei Qi's sister, I didn't see those people anymore as soon as I turned around! β
