Chapter 154 Investigating the Case Together (Part [-])

The night is dark and the autumn wind is cold.

In the ancestral hall, although the old lady guarding the ancestral hall brought Xie Danting a thin cotton blanket, but after kneeling for so long, Xie Danting couldn't kneel anymore, her whole back was about to bend.

When Xie Lingqin led Zihe into the gate of the ancestral hall, he saw this scene.

"The old slave has seen the eldest lady."

The old lady on the side came out hurriedly, blessing her body and saluting.

Xie Lingqin glanced at her, nodded with a smile, and then walked in.

"You...what are you doing?"

Xie Dan listened to the sound and turned back, looking at Xie Lingqin, his whole back was straight again, with a complicated face, it seemed that he didn't know what expression or tone to face Xie Lingqin.

"I didn't do anything. I heard that you knelt in the ancestral hall, so I came here to see you. Here..." Xie Lingqin nodded to Zihe.

Zihe immediately brought up the food box and took the pastry out of the food box.

Xie Lingqin's starry eyes lighted up slightly, "Look, I am treating you well, and I even brought you some snacks."

Xie Dan listened and frowned, "Didn't poison it."

"Don't worry, with your physique and IQ, even if I poison you, you won't be able to detect it."

"you……"

"Okay, eat when you're hungry. If you're not hungry, you don't know how long you'll have to kneel for a long night. Keep it and eat when you're hungry."

While Xie Lingqin was talking lightly, he looked at the tablet directly in front of Xie Danling.

"The spirit seat of Zongzheng Shao, Xie's first wife."

Xie Lingqin murmured these words, and a sneer suddenly appeared on the corner of his lips, "Unfortunately, people die like a lamp going out, no matter how many rumors, no matter how many great achievements, in the end, it will be nothing but nothing."

"What are you talking about?" Xie Danling was unconvinced, and immediately made a gesture to stand up, but Xie Lingqin only gave him a look, and he knelt back obediently.

"Let me tell you, don't think that if you have the crown prince to back you up, I will be afraid of you." When Xie Danling said this, his face was gloomy and he had no confidence.

Xie Lingqin's eyes narrowed, "What does this have to do with the prince?"

"I already know..." Xie Danling suppressed his voice, his voice was resentful, "You sleep in the prince's mansion, and you are on good terms with the prince, hmph."

Xie Lingqin was even more puzzled, then looked at Xie Danting, his eyes turned into a smile, and his lips parted slightly, "Did the prince come to tell you in person?"

"of course."

Xie Danling nodded, thinking that Xie Lingqin had been stepped on to a painful point, from mouth to eyebrows, her confidence began to rub.

Xie Lingqin was slightly startled.

Not surprisingly, she just said that when she just came, someone asked her, and by the way, she found out that after she left Dong Lao's mansion, Xie Danling actually asked the coachman to drive the carriage to search for peach cakes all over the city.

She felt that although Xie Danling was young, he was raised by his second aunt before, but after going through so many things recently, he should not be a fool. After thinking about it, she felt that he was looking for her, but later on Suddenly no more.

Never thought that this Yu Wenyao was so eager to reveal their relationship in front of his brother-in-law, and, in front of his brother-in-law, Liwei?
"Come." Xie Lingqin suddenly hooked her fingers at Xie Danling.

With just this one movement, the confidence that Xie Danling was about to build up was wiped out in an instant, he frowned, instead of coming over, he backed away, "What do you want?"

Xie Lingqin pursed her lips, and smiled lightly, that smile was beautiful, a little creepy.

But Xie Danling realized that she just couldn't refuse this elder sister he didn't like, swallowed, and turned her head sideways, "You, say."

"The prince likes me very much, and you, as his future brother-in-law, can be a little brother-in-law. Of course, it depends on your ability."

"The prince really likes you?" Xie Danling couldn't believe it.

Although, the facts are somewhat in front of us.

"His eyesight is so poor." Xie Danling felt a little sorry for the prince.

Xie Lingqin's eyes froze, "What did you just say?"

"No, I didn't say anything."

Xie Dan turned his head to the side, facing the memorial tablet, and continued to make a gesture of devotion.

"Well, that's right. I thought I'd tell you not to kneel down. Anyway, I still have this bit of power. However, seeing how pious you are, then keep kneeling. Anyway, the father is only your son. It will always hurt."

After Xie Lingqin finished speaking, he raised his hand to Zihe, and walked away swaggeringly.

However, when passing by the old mother, she still nodded politely and said, "Thanks for your hard work."

"you you you……"

Xie Danling was trembling with anger, the young man's handsome face twitched, and a small fire was burning in his bright eyes, "You bad sister."

Of course Xie Lingqin heard it, and waved her hands without looking back, "Well, I like this title."

Xie Danling was completely defeated.

And the old nanny watched the interactive dialogue between Xie Lingqin and Xie Danling from beginning to end, and watched Xie Lingqin's figure disappear beside the black ancestral hall gate, and then she looked away.

There was a sense of relief in his eyes.

Xie Lingqin went out of the ancestral hall and did not go back to Qingshui Pavilion, but went to find Xie Yushu.

"Well, the yards of Second Miss and Second Auntie have already been cleared out, and I have ordered their things to be packed away. However, Eldest Miss, you really need to look at it, there may be dust on it."

Xie Yushu understood Xie Lingqin's intentions and hurriedly tried to persuade him.

Xie Lingqin waved his hand, "You're joking with me, I'm not afraid of death, I'm also afraid of dust."

Hearing this, Xie Yushu's delicate face was stained heavily, which was irrefutable.

Although he grew up in Yecheng and learned the ways of business management and family management, he is not unaware of the complicated relationships in the capital city and the undercurrents with all parties.

Therefore, others see that Xie Lingqin seems to have received a lot of life now, with an unlimited future, but only he knows that this is the real crisis for her, and if there is any mistake, her life is really at stake.

"I'll take you there." Xie Yushu thought for a while and walked ahead to lead the way.

There is no need to look at Second Aunt's things, Xie Lingqin cares about Xie Lingyu.

After she guessed the truth and confirmed the truth from Xie Lingyu and Xiao Gouzi, she kept thinking it.

There are still very few similar people in the world, it is impossible to take such a coincidence seriously.

Ten years ago, when the real Xie Lingyu went out, she met the little cat?
Therefore, it is also very possible that in those years, this was arranged by the person who gave advice to Xiao Gouzi and Xie Lingyu.

And after so many years, it is impossible not to have no contact with this fake Xie Lingyu.Even though Xie Lingyu didn't know, but secretly, the other party must have watched her, and now she and Li Junru died together again, with those scars on her body...

Xie Lingqin had some doubts. The one who killed Li Junru and Xie Lingyu was the one who arranged all this back then.

It was the person who warned her that day in the secret passage of General Xie's study.

Of course, she was not interested in who killed Li Junru, but the truth was that she was somewhat involved in this matter.

It directly put her on the opposite side with the Ministry of War Shangshufu.

Xie Lingqin spread out all of Xie Lingyu's things, but found nothing, and then looked around the room, not letting go of every corner, and finally, when she was disappointed, the corners of her eyes must be fixed.

Xie Lingqin suddenly looked at Xie Yushu, "These things have been put away, have they not been touched?"

Xie Lingyu heard that Xie Lingqin's tone was wrong, and immediately stepped forward, nodding very seriously, "Yes, since the second lady was imprisoned and imprisoned in Jingzhaoyin Prison, I ordered people to collect these things, and no one came during that time , Moreover, I counted these things at the time, and there is no shortage."

"But..." Xie Lingqin raised her eyes, motioning Xie Yushu to look at the corner of the mahogany table.

Xie Yushu followed the trend, his eyes froze, "This..."

Xie Lingqin's face was cold, and his voice was deep, "It's just that it hasn't been cleaned for a few days, so the room is somewhat dusty, but this corner of the table is so clean, what does that mean?"

"It means that someone has been here, and there are no footprints in the surrounding area, which means that the opponent's martial arts are very good, and this trace, judging from the location, it should be accidentally dropped."

It was Zihe who answered this question.

Xie Lingqin nodded, "It seems that the other party is really afraid that there will be some evidence, so he came here to investigate. However, there are many things, so I don't know what the other party's purpose is." After speaking, Xie Lingqin looked again. To Xie Yushu, "Don't startle the snake, and don't tell anyone about it."

"I know." Xie Yushu nodded.

After leaving Xie Lingyu's courtyard, Xie Lingqin calmed down, exchanged casual greetings with Xie Yushu, and then took Zihe to Aunt Wan's courtyard.

Since the child's miscarriage that day, Aunt Wan has been resting in bed and has never left the yard.

When Xie Lingqin arrived, Aunt Wan hurriedly got up from the bed.

"It's fine for Aunt Wan to lie down." Xie Lingqin raised her hand to stop her.

Aunt Wan hurriedly called a servant girl to go down to fetch tea, and then waved back a little, leaving only two very close servant girls by her side.

"Aunt Wan's heart, you can rest and recuperate." Xie Lingqin took the tea from the servant girl's hand and spoke in a warm voice.

Aunt Wan heard the words and gave a wry smile, "If my heart is hurt, it will be hard to recover for a while, but fortunately, the general didn't blame me. These days, he took good care of me in every possible way. Get better, don't worry the general."

"That's great. After something happened to my second aunt, now the mansion is going to point at you, Aunt Wan. I have to be busy investigating the case and looking for the whereabouts of my second sister, so I don't have time to take care of the mansion, so everything is up to you." I am sorry for my aunt, please ask my aunt to care more about my father."

"No matter what the eldest lady said, I took it as my own."

"Well, it's getting late, so I'll go back first."

"Well, miss, go slowly."

"No need to deliver." Seeing that Aunt Wan was about to stand up, Xie Lingqin quickly put down the tea in her hand, walked forward slowly, pressed her lightly, and took her pulse with her hand, and then said softly, "It's okay It will be better if you rest more, but the man who betrayed you has not made any movement recently, what do you want me to do?"

Aunt Wan secretly looked outside the window, and lightly pressed Xie Lingqin's hand, "No, from the moment the child lost, I have already decided that I will be myself in the future, and I hope to help the eldest lady in the future." .”

"En." Xie Lingqin suddenly backed away, her voice slightly higher, "Then, you have a good rest."

The maid in the house immediately sent Xie Lingqin out of the house under the orders of Aunt Wan.

In a dark corner of the courtyard, under the night, a figure flashed, and a figure disappeared quickly.

After a while, a figure landed silently in the study of the General's Mansion.

"General, my subordinates have seen that there is nothing unusual about the eldest lady. After coming out of the ancestral hall, I just went to look at the yard of the second lady, and then went to see Aunt Wan, but didn't say anything special."

"Hmm." General Xie frowned, and asked again, "So, there was nothing unusual about the conversation with Aunt Wan?"

"Back to the general, Aunt Wan seems to be very grateful to the eldest lady, there is nothing else other than that."

General Xie just got up from his seat, paced back and forth for a while, and then waved to the person who came, "Okay, you step back."

"General, it seems that your doubts are superfluous. The situation was so urgent that day. The eldest lady and Dr. Qin came to the rescue together. It was too late to say anything. Besides, Aunt Wan might be pregnant with you, General." Heir, what an honor, how could he not want it."

General Xie nodded, seemingly relieved, but there seemed to be a gloomy look between his brows.

When Xie Lingqin returned to Qingshui Pavilion, he called Tridacna and Zihe to bring water, washed up and went to bed.

Today, as soon as she came out of the ancestral hall, she noticed that someone was watching her all the time, so when she entered Aunt Wan's room, she gave her a look with her eyes. Fortunately, she was smart and quick to respond.

However, she still had something to say to Aunt Wan...

The night passed.

The next day, early in the morning, a news came from the palace, and then, it quickly reached Qingshui Pavilion, Xie Lingqin's ears.

It is said that the emperor was grateful to Li Shangshu for sending a white-haired man to a black-haired man, and his daughter Li Qingyu, both civil and military, was determined to find the real culprit for her brother. Therefore, with a special purpose, Li Qingyu followed Jing Zhaoyin's death to investigate the case together.

However, there are still words, not the will, but they flow out faintly.

That is, when investigating the case, if there is any disagreement with Miss Xie, the two need to discuss with each other and discuss it peacefully.

This is clearly a distinction between primary and secondary, and no primary and secondary.

"Miss, it is said that Miss Li entered the palace before dawn. It seems that she went to ask for this order."

Xie Lingqin was not surprised at all, as if she knew about it a long time ago, she drank the porridge calmly.

"Right now, it's rumored that you and Ms. Li are being compared without knowing it, and..."

Seeing that Zihe's voice was getting weaker and weaker, Xie Lingqin put down the bowl, her starry eyes were clear and cold, and she said, "Isn't it true that in front of Li Qingyu, your young lady is inferior in every way, and suddenly she became her foil?" ?”

Zihe's complexion is not very good, "That is, these people know nothing about it, they just know to talk nonsense, miss, you are amazing."

"Yeah, your lady is amazing, but you haven't thought about it, is there a problem with this?"

"something wrong?"

"This news just came out of the palace. As usual, it is a special case for the emperor to let me, a mere woman, investigate the case. Now that Li Qingyu has been added, shouldn't normal people talk about this strange thing first, and then start to deal with it?" Let's make a comparison, but, you see, the words from the people's mouths came to Qingshui Pavilion almost at the same time as this news, so what does it represent?"

"It must be the hands and feet of the good Li Qingyu." Tridacna walked in unwillingly, with a small face full of anger, "It's really self-righteous."

Xie Lingqin glanced at Zihe and Tridacna, and smiled slightly, "Whether it's her, the entire Shangshu Mansion, or the emperor, we should act upright and straight, just don't mess up the propriety." .”

"Yes."

After breakfast, Xie Lingqin left the mansion in a carriage, and soon arrived at the gate of Jing Zhaoyin's mansion.

At the gate of Jingzhao Yin's Mansion, another extremely large and exquisite carriage has already parked.

The autumn wind passed by, and the golden tassels were extraordinarily dazzling in the morning sun.

"Lord Huo, let me think about it today. The corpse you brought back in a yard that day." Walking into Jing Zhaoyin's mansion, Xie Lingqin went straight to the point.

This corpse was the same day that Miaoqiao's corpse appeared at the gate of the General's Mansion. She looked at Zihe secretly, and finally met Xuanyuandu and found the man's corpse.

Of course, it was she who secretly informed Jing Zhaoyin to bring the body back.

Now, if you want to investigate the case, you have to look at the corpse to see what you can find.

"I happen to have the same idea, how about, let's go together."

Before Jing Zhaoyin could answer, a woman's voice sounded like beads falling on a jade plate, which was extremely pleasant.

It was Li Qingyu who came over with the maid.

Dressed in taupe-coloured clothes and lightly covered with smoky gauze, it not only reflects the beauty of women, but also does not make people feel artificial. With light makeup and powder, and walking step by step, it is a ladylike demeanor of everyone, and the country is beautiful and heavenly.

"Hi, Miss Xie."

Xie Lingqin met Li Qingyu's gaze and nodded slightly, "Hello, Miss Li."

All four look at each other.

One has a beautiful appearance and a beautiful face, and the other is an outstanding Tsinghua student with a beautiful face.

But, comparatively speaking, Xie Lingqin was calmer than Li Qingyu.

In the end, Li Qingyu felt a thorn in her heart because of yesterday's release.

Looking at it today, the woman in front of her is calm and calm, and she doesn't see the absurd appearance of yesterday, so, yesterday, she really was cheated.

"My lord, please lead the way." Xie Lingqin turned his eyes and looked at Master Jing Zhaoyin.

Jing Zhaoyin glanced at the two of them respectively, smiled immediately, and led the people there in person.

Li Qingyu quickened her pace unconsciously, and walked in front of Xie Lingqin in an instant.

Xie Lingqin was not annoyed, but just looked at Zihe suddenly.

"Zihe, you have to understand the rules for a while, don't talk too much, let alone say something that has nothing to do with the case to affect Miss Li and me."

The voice was neither high nor low, neither blame nor anger, just for everyone to hear.

Li Qingyu, who was walking in front of Xie Lingqin, narrowed her beautiful eyes and didn't say much.

For a while, the atmosphere was strangely depressing.

All the way to the door of the morgue.

"I heard that Ms. Xie is incompetent, unable to understand words, and bad at playing chess. I never thought about it, but she has the ability to investigate cases. Then, if my brother dies, please ask Ms. Xie to help me."

Finally, Li Qingyu spoke in a gentle voice.

Xie Lingqin pursed her lips and smiled, "Miss Li is serious. Speaking of which, Miss Li came to look for me in my courtyard yesterday. She didn't say a few words and left because she was unwell. All right?"

Hearing this, Li Qingyu's eyes darkened, but her face was calm, "It's okay to worry about Miss Xie."

"That's good. As for me, I'm most afraid of bloody scenes. I heard that Ms. Li is not only proficient in poetry and calligraphy, but also in martial arts. If I am afraid for a while, I will ask Ms. Li to help me." It's gone." Xie Lingqin said, her face seemed to be genuinely frightened.

"Where are you talking?" Li Qingyu's eyes were stained with a smile, but it was not leaking.

However, the maid on the side couldn’t stand it anymore, and wanted to make arrangements for her young lady, hmph, she took a step forward and said, “Miss Xie is really modest, my young lady used to boast in front of servants and others, saying that Miss Xie used to be a beautiful mother.” Tianxia, ​​now I have to be valued by the emperor. I started to investigate the case, and within a day, I broke one of them. It should be very powerful. Even if I see bloody scenes, I should be as stable as Mount Tai. Why did I come to my house today? In front of the lady, I'm afraid of going up."

Li Qingyu is not simple, the maid next to her speaks without haste or impatience, although every word is thorny, but this gesture is extremely respectful.

It's really impossible to pick out the slightest mistake.

On the side, Zihe raised his eyebrows and remained silent.

"Miss Li, this maid speaks very well. As expected, Miss Li is outstanding in writing, and so are the maids around her. They are eloquent, right?" Xie Lingqin looked at Li Qingyu while speaking.

Li Qingyu's eyes moved slightly when she heard the words, her brows trembled slightly, but she still kept smiling. As for the maid, she took a step back somewhat complacently.

"Zihe."

Xie Lingqin suddenly looked sideways and called out.

Zihe stepped forward immediately, "What are your orders, Miss?"

"What did I say when I entered here just now?"

"Ms. Hui, the lady said, when you get here, don't talk too much, don't talk about things that have nothing to do with this case and affect you and Miss Li."

"So?" Xie Lingqin raised an eyebrow slightly.

Zihe took the order, kept his face down, and immediately went to the maid next to Li Qingyu, raised his hand...

"stop."

Seeing this, Li Qingyu immediately said, "Miss Xie..."

"Could it be that Ms. Li is afraid that the servant girl next to me will be stingy, so she wants to do it herself." Xie Lingqin interrupted Li Qingyu's words directly, frowning slightly, with a look of understanding, "This... Miss Li, it's all about you Treating servants harshly, this is too harsh."

"I meant to say..."

"Miss Li actually wants to intercede?"

Xie Lingqin looked at her in surprise.

 The second watch is coming
