Xiang'er's eyes slightly lowered and she said after a long silence: "This morning, the madam and the young lady had a quarrel. Because the slaves were far away, they didn't dare to eavesdrop on what they were arguing about.
Later, the lady slammed the door and left, looking very ugly. I went to visit my wife, and she was very angry and broke a pot of flowers.
After that, the madam said that she was not feeling well and wanted to have some quiet time, so she asked the slave to leave. It was obvious that the madam was so angry with the young lady."
At the end of the sentence, the little girl puffed up her cheeks, obviously complaining about Lin Jiaoyue and feeling helpless for his wife.
It can be seen that this girl likes Madam very much on weekdays.
Li Nanke asked: "So you don't know why they quarreled, right?"
Xiang'er nodded vigorously, but then thought of something, pursed her lips and said: "Actually, this is not the first time the madam and the young lady have quarreled. On the night when the young lady was injured by a monster, they had a dispute in the room.
Although I don’t know the reason for the quarrel, when the madam left the young lady’s room, the servant seemed to hear the young lady saying something harsh like ‘he (she) but not me’.”
With him (her) or without me?
Li Nanke moved back and leaned against the doorpost, deep in thought.
It's him'?
Or 'her'?
After pondering for a long time, a flash of lightning suddenly passed through the man's brain.
Li Nanke's eyes suddenly shrank, and he stared at Xiang'er's fair face and asked, "Did they quarrel after He Qingyu's breach of the wall?"
"um, yes."
Xiang'er thought about it for a moment and gave an affirmative answer.
Li Nanke vaguely grasped an important point. He subconsciously touched his chest and stretched out his hand to Leng Xinnan: "Do you have a pen and paper? Please lend it to me."
"Give."
The girl handed over the charcoal pen and paper she carried in her special luggage.
Li Nanke scribbled two lines, lowered his head and thought for a while, wrote a few more words, then tore off the page and handed back the borrowed pen and paper.
"Give it to you."
Leng Xinnan did not pick him up.
The man was startled, but he was not polite. He put it away and asked Xiang'er, "Did Madam leave the house on the night of the fourth day of August?"
"No."
Xiang'er shook her little head firmly. "I remember that day very clearly. Although the madam and the young lady had a quarrel, the madam still went to the young lady's room to stay with her all night when she went to bed late at night.
In fact, the madam is really very fond of the young lady and rarely scolds her. I remember when I was a child, there was a fire in the courtyard, and the eldest lady was trapped in the warehouse for fun. It was the madam who risked life and death to save her.
It can be said that for the sake of the eldest lady, Madam is really willing to risk her life.
But sometimes the eldest lady just likes to make the madam angry, but there is nothing I can do about it. The master is busy on weekdays and has no time to discipline her. In addition, he often plays with people like Wan Yingying, so it is inevitable that he will become squeamish..."
The girl chattered non-stop like she was pouring beans. Although she was rude, she still had a straightforward temperament.
However, it is inappropriate to complain about one's eldest daughter behind her back.
Of course, the main reason is that Li Nanke is so handsome that it is easy for girls to let down their guard, otherwise Xiang'er would not be so enthusiastic about providing clues.
"You've never come out of the lady's room?" Li Nanke's tone was extremely serious.
"I think should not be."
This time, Xiang'er wasn't sure.
After all, as a maid, she couldn't stare at the eldest lady's room all night.
"Miss Xiang'er, I have another question. Who among Miss Lin, Wan Yingying and Wen Jin'er has the best relationship with whom?"
Realizing that he could get a lot of words out of the mouth of this innocent little maid in front of him, Li Nanke continued to use his handsome charm and curved his lips into a charming smile.
Xiang'er's cheeks turned red and she answered honestly without thinking too much.
"The relationship between the eldest lady and Miss Wen Jin'er is actually the best, because Miss Wen Jin'er is Wen Xiucai's sister and is quite talented, so the eldest daughter often asks her for advice, and the two of them often practice calligraphy in the study.
However, Miss Wan Yingying does not think highly of Wen Jin'er.
Although Wen Jin'er's brother was a scholar, her family situation was very ordinary. Wan Yingying was born into wealth and had distant relatives who were high officials, so she looked down upon the poor the most.
If it wasn't for the sake of the young lady, I probably wouldn't pay attention. And she often teases Wen Jin'er, even last time..."
Having said this, Xiang'er clenched her fists tightly and said angrily: "The culprit of the last incident involving Old Man Qin was Wan Yingying!"
"Tell me more specifically?" Li Nanke became interested.
Xiang'er's expression did not hide her disgust for Wan Yingying: "The three of them were practicing calligraphy in the study that day. Miss Wan Yingying felt bored and accidentally splashed ink on Miss Jin'er.
Seeing this, the eldest lady asked Jin'er to go to her room to change clothes.
At this time, Miss Wan suddenly had the idea of playing tricks on her, so she tricked Old Man Qin into telling him that there was a mouse in the eldest lady's room and asked him to go in and catch it quickly.
Old Man Qin entered the room without any suspicion, and the result..."
Xiang'er was furious, and her bulging chest was also rising and falling. "Girl Jin'er cried a lot after being looked at, and Lao Qin's head was also broken and her legs were broken... In short, everything is to blame on that Wan Yingying!"
After hearing this, Li Nanke already had a deep understanding of this 'Wan Yingying'.
Unruly, willful, bad...
Bad at heart!
But he was still confused and asked: "Why do you, the eldest lady, hang out with women like Wan Yingying? And Wen Jin'er, who is often teased, shouldn't she stay away?"
"Because she is the only one who can be friends with the eldest lady."
Xiang'er said helplessly. "In a place like Dongqi County, there are only a few wealthy families. The eldest lady has not had many friends since she was a child. Many of her peers who are with her are respectful or seeking benefits.
Only Wan Yingying can play with her. After all, they don't have any intentions and don't have too many worries about each other.
In addition, Wan Yingying has a relative who is a high-ranking official in her family, so the master acquiesces to the eldest daughter's relationship with her."
This sentence is the key point!
A trace of sarcasm flashed across Li Nanke's face.
From the perspective of family interests, Lin Yuanwai really hopes to see his daughter have a good relationship with the eldest daughter of the Wan family.
"As for Miss Jin'er..."
Xiang'er sighed. "Maybe it's because she was ostracized by her family. Except for her brother, the rest of the Wen family didn't treat her very well, and she was also introverted and inferior.
In fact, Miss Jin'er is a bit vain, trying hard to integrate into the circle of young ladies and make friends with some upper-class people. Although she didn't say it, anyone with a discerning eye can still see it.
This is also the reason why Miss Wan has always looked down upon her."
Li Nanke understood clearly.
Millionaires have their own circles, and billionaires have their own circles.
If you try hard to blend in when your identity does not match, the result will be teasing and discrimination from others in a clown manner.
The information extracted from Xiang'er made Li Nanke understand that this small group of three best friends had various problems and was far from as harmonious as it seemed.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]
Lin Jiaoyue has an arrogant personality.
Wan Yingying has a very unruly personality.
Wen Jiner has a low self-esteem.
Coupled with the fact that 'He Qingyu', a pretty boy, is mixing things up in the middle, the so-called sisterhood is simply nonsense.
"After Wen Jin'er died, did anyone from the Wen family come to find her?"
Li Nanke continued to talk.
Xiang'er was a little hesitant, not sure whether she should say it or not.
But facing the man's handsome face that he really couldn't refuse, he still said it out loud: "Yes, he is Miss Jin'er's brother, Wen Xiucai."
Without waiting for Li Nanke to ask, Xiang'er took the initiative to tell the story in detail:
"On the fifth day of August, Wen Xiucai came to see the eldest lady. The eldest lady said that she had something to do with Miss Jin'er and wanted to talk to Wen Xiucai alone, so she asked our servants to go out.
Later, for some reason, we heard Wen Xiucai yelling and the young lady's cry for help.
We rushed into the house and saw Wen Xiucai holding the eldest lady's neck and cursing: 'Why didn't you protect her?' and 'Both you and Wan Yingying deserve to die.'
The eldest lady just cried there and said sorry.
Later, the master rushed over and asked someone to pull Wen Xiucai out. When he left, Wen Xiucai was still shouting that he wanted to kill Wan Yingying and kill the young lady."
Leng Xinnan, who was listening on the sidelines, had a pretty face as cold as ice.
"This forest officer is really out of his mind! He has to hide something so important! Tieniu, go-"
Just as he shouted, he realized that Tieniu had already left. He stamped his jade feet angrily and said to Li Nanke, "Let's go to Wen's house!"
"good."
Li Nanke nodded.
The current new clues point to Wen Xiucai.
Although it has been initially determined that the monster Old Qin Tou was chasing Lin Jiaoyue and the others in Cuihong Mountain. However, Wan Yingying and Lin Jiaoyue were hit with a "red rain" afterwards, and the investigation had to continue.
After all, Lao Qintou wants to kill these two girls, so there is no need to rain "red rain".
Now this literary scholar has become the first suspect!
But just when Li Nanke stepped out of the room, he suddenly stopped, as if he noticed something, and took two steps back, looking towards the threshold.
There is a thin hemp rope at the gap in the threshold.
Because it is close to the color of the dilapidated threshold and the land, it is easily overlooked.
"Is there a problem?"
Leng Xinnan took out the hemp rope, put it between his nose and smelled it, frowning slightly. "It smells like a little bit of wine. It should be the rope used to seal the wine jar."
"Wine jar?"
After Li Nanke heard this, he checked inside the house again.
But after rummaging through the boxes and cabinets, I didn't find any wine jars or the paper used to seal them.
Li Nanke put away the hemp rope and didn't know what he was feeling. He sighed softly: "So, there is no perfect crime scene in the world."
"What's the meaning?"
Leng Xinnan realized what the man had discovered.
What's annoying is that the man deliberately kept it secret: "Nothing has been found so far. Mr. Leng, you go to the Wen family to investigate first. I want to go to the Lin family again."
"Say it or not, it's up to you!"
The female leader was unhappy and obviously had emotions.
Without waiting for the man to explain, he turned and walked towards the door. The soft hair that he flung up swept across the man's handsome cheeks and nose, causing a slight sting and a faint fragrance.
Li Nanke looked helpless
Seeing the strange expression on Xiang'er's side, the man coughed dryly and explained: "She's been a little bit tempered recently because of her recent illness. She's usually very gentle."
Xiang'er nodded to express understanding.
The two walked out of the alley, but Leng Xinnan, who had just left, turned back.
"What's wrong?"
Looking at the woman who left and returned, Li Nanke was very confused.
The girl bit her lip gently, her cold and charming face slightly raised, and she pretended to be calm and said: "It will be troublesome if the monster returns to the Lin family, so let's go together."
"Oh, that's okay too."
Li Nanke had no objection.
Xiang'er, who has a straightforward personality, stuck out her little head and said bluntly: "Master Leng, are you afraid that Brother Li is in danger?"
