Chapter 17

"Are you angry?"

Li Nanke said he didn't understand.

Xiang'er's eyes drooped slightly, and she said after a long silence: "This morning, Ma'am and Miss had a quarrel, because the slaves are far away, and they dare not overhear what they are arguing about.

Later, the lady slammed the door and left with a very ugly expression on her face.I went to visit my wife, she was very angry and even smashed a pot of flowers.

Afterwards, the madam said that she was not feeling well and wanted to be quiet, so she let the maidservant leave.Obviously, the madam was pissed off by the young lady. "

At the end, the little girl puffed up her cheeks, obviously complaining about Lin Jiaoyue and feeling helpless for Madam.

It can be seen that on weekdays, this girl likes Madam very much.

Li Nanke asked: "So you don't know why they are arguing, right?"

Xiang'er nodded vigorously, but remembered something, pursed her lips and said: "Actually, this is not the first time Madam and Miss have quarreled, they had an argument in the room on the night Miss was injured by a monster.

Although I don't know the reason for the noise, but when the madam left the lady's room, the slave seemed to have heard the lady say something cruel like 'he (she) is not me'. "

With him (her) without me?
Li Nanke moved back, leaning on the doorpost thoughtfully.

It's him'?
Or 'she'?
After contemplating for a long time, suddenly a flash of lightning flashed across the man's brain.

Li Nanke's pupils shrank instantly, staring at Xiang'er's fair face and asked, "Did they quarrel after the incident of He Qingyu climbing over the wall?"

"um, yes."

After thinking about it for a moment, Xiang'er gave an affirmative answer.

Li Nanke faintly 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 me some."

"Give."

The girl handed over the carbon pen and paper of the special bag she carried with her.

Li Nanke scribbled two lines, bowed his head to think for a while, wrote a few more words, then tore off the page, and handed back the borrowed pen and paper.

"Send it to you."

Leng Xinnan didn't pick her 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 fourth night of August?"

"No."

Xiang'er shook her head firmly. "The servant girl remembers that day very clearly. Although the madam and the young lady quarreled, but when she was sleeping late at night, the madam went to the young lady's room to accompany her for the whole night.

In fact, Madam really dotes on Miss, and rarely scolds her.I remember that when I was a child, the courtyard caught fire, and the eldest lady was trapped in the warehouse because of her fun. It was the madam who rescued her out.

It can be said that for the sake of the eldest lady, the madam really does not even have to die.

But Missy sometimes likes to make Madam angry, but there is no way to do it, Master is busy on weekdays and has no time to discipline her.Plus, playing with people like Wan Yingying a lot, it's inevitable that I'll be squeamish..."

The girl chattered on and on as if pouring beans. Although her mouth was broken, she could also see her straightforward nature.

However, it is inappropriate to complain about your eldest lady behind her back.

Of course, the main reason is that Li Nanke is so handsome, it is easy for girls to let go of their guards, otherwise Xiang'er would not be so enthusiastic about providing clues.

"Have you never come out of Miss's room?" Li Nanke said in a very serious tone.

"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 still have a question, Miss Lin, Wan Yingying, and Wen Jin'er, which of them has the best relationship with whom?"

Realizing that he could get a lot of words out of the innocent little maid in front of him, Li Nanke continued to display his handsome charm, with a charming smile curled up at the corners of his lips.

Xiang'er blushed, and answered honestly without thinking too much.

"The relationship between Miss Wen Jin'er and Ms. Wen Jin'er is actually the best, because Ms. Wen Jin'er is Wen Xiucai's younger sister, she is quite talented, so the Ms. will often ask her for advice, and the two of them often practice calligraphy in the study.

But Miss Wan Yingying didn't think highly of Wen Jin'er.

Although Wen Jin'er's brother is a scholar, her family situation is very ordinary. Wan Yingying was born rich and powerful, and has distant relatives who are high officials, and she looks down on the poor the most.

If it wasn't for the sake of the lady, I probably wouldn't bother.And she often teases Wen Jin'er, even last time..."

Speaking of this, Xiang'er clenched her fists tightly and said angrily: "The last old man Qin's incident was caused by Wan Yingying!"

"Tell me specifically?" Li Nanke became interested.

Xiang'er's expression did not conceal her dislike for Wan Yingying: "The three of them were practicing calligraphy in the study that day, and Miss Wan Yingying felt bored and accidentally splashed ink on Miss Jin'er.

Seeing this, the eldest lady asked Miss Jin'er to go to her room to change clothes.

At this time, Miss Wan suddenly thought of playing tricks, so she coaxed old man Qin, saying 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 doubts, and it turned out..."

Xiang'er was so angry that it was hard to calm down, her chest was also heaving up and down even if she wasn't too bulging. "Miss Jin'er, whose body was inspected, cried a lot, and Lao Qin's head was also broken... In short, everything is to blame for that Wan Yingying!"

Hearing this, Li Nanke already had a deep understanding of this 'Wan Yingying'.

Unruly, capricious, bad...

Bad in the bones!
But he was still very puzzled, and asked again: "Why do you young lady hang out with a woman like Wan Yingying? And Wen Jin'er, who is often teased, shouldn't she stay away?"

"Because the only one who can be friends with the eldest lady is her."

Xiang'er said helplessly. "In a place like Dongqi County, there are only a few rich and powerful families. The eldest lady has no friends since she was a child. Many people of the same age who are with her are respectful or seek benefits.

Only Wan Yingying can play with her. After all, they don't want anything, and they don't have too many scruples about each other.

In addition, Wan Yingying has relatives who are high officials behind her family, so the master acquiesced in allowing the eldest lady to associate with her. "

This sentence is the point!
A sarcasm crossed Li Nanke's face.

From the perspective of family interests, Yuanwai Lin really hoped to see his daughter befriend Miss Wan.

"As for Miss Jin'er..."

Xiang'er sighed. "Maybe it's because she was excluded by her family. Except for her brother, the rest of the Wen family didn't like her very much, and she was more introverted and inferior.

In fact, Miss Jin'er is somewhat vain, trying her best to fit into the circle of Miss and the others, and make friends with some upper-class people.Although she didn't say it, anyone with a discerning eye could still see it.

This is why Miss Wan has always looked down on her. "

Li Nanke could understand.

Millionaires have their circles, and billionaires have their own circles.

In the case of mismatched identities, trying to forcefully blend in, the result is being teased and discriminated against by others in the way of a clown.

The information extracted from Xianger's mouth made Li Nanke understand that this small group of three girlfriends had various problems, and it was far from being as harmonious as it appeared on the surface.

Lin Jiaoyue has an arrogant personality.

Wan Yingying has a savage personality.

Wen Jin'er has a low self-esteem.

Coupled with the fact that 'He Qingyu', a little boy, is mixing in the middle, the so-called sisterhood is simply nonsense.

"After Wen Jin'er died, did people from the Wen family come over?"

Li Nanke continued to talk.

Xiang'er hesitated a little, not knowing whether to speak or not.

But facing the man's handsome face that he couldn't refuse, he still said it all at once: "Yes, it's 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 about Miss Jin'er, and she wanted to talk to Wen Xiucai alone, so she sent us 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 pinching the young lady's neck, cursing: 'Why didn't you protect her well', 'You and Wan Yingying are both damned' and the like.

The eldest lady just cried there, saying sorry.

Later, the master rushed over and asked someone to drag Wen Xiucai out.When they left, Wen Xiucai was still yelling, saying that she was going to kill Wan Yingying and miss. "

Leng Xinnan, who was listening at the side, had a pretty face as cold as ice.

"This member of the forest is really out of his mind! Such an important matter must be concealed! Tie Niu, you go—"

Just as he shouted, he realized that Tieniu had left, stomped his jade feet angrily, and said to Li Nanke, "Let's go to Wen's house!"

"it is good."

Li Nanke nodded.

The current new clue points to Wen Xiucai.

Although it has been preliminarily determined that it was the monster Lao Qintou who was chasing and killing Lin Jiaoyue and the others in Cuihong Mountain.However, the case of Wan Yingying and Lin Jiaoyue being sent to "Red Rain" has to continue to be investigated.

After all, if the old Qin wanted to kill these two girls, there was no need to make a 'red rain'.

Now this Wen Xiucai has become the number one suspect!
However, when Li Nanke stepped out of the door, he suddenly stopped, as if he had noticed something, he took two steps back and looked at the threshold.

There is a fine hemp rope in the crack of the threshold.

Because it is close to the color of the dilapidated threshold and the land, it is easy to be overlooked.

"Is there a problem?"

Leng Xinnan took out the hemp rope, put it between her nose and smelled it, her eyebrows frowned slightly. "It smells like a little wine, it should be the rope used to seal the wine jar."

"Wine jar?"

Upon hearing this, Li Nanke checked the house again.

But after searching through boxes and cabinets, they didn't find any wine jars and paper cloth for sealing.

Li Nanke put away the hemp rope, not knowing what he was feeling, and sighed softly: "So, there is no perfect crime scene in the world."

"What do you mean?"

Leng Xinnan realized what the man had discovered.

What's annoying is that the man deliberately played tricks: "There is still nothing to find out. Mr. Leng, you should go to Wen's house to investigate first. I want to go to Lin's mansion again."

"Say it or not, whatever you want!"

The female leader was unhappy and obviously emotional.

Before the man could explain, he turned his head and walked towards the door. The soft hair tip brushed the man's handsome cheek and nose, and there was a delicate fragrance in the slight prickly pain.

Li Nanke looked helpless
Seeing Xiang'er's strange expression next to him, the man coughed dryly, and explained: "She came here recently, so she has a bit of a temper, but she is usually very gentle."

Xiang'er nodded, expressing her understanding.

The two walked out of the alley, but Leng Xinnan, who had just left, came back again.

"What's wrong?"

Looking at the woman who had gone and returned, Li Nanke was puzzled.

The girl bit her lips lightly with her white teeth, and slightly raised her cold and beautiful face with a touch of heroism, pretending to be flat and said: "If the monster returns to the Lin family, it will be troublesome, let's go together."

"Oh, that's fine too."

Li Nanke has no opinion.

Xiang'er, who has a straightforward personality, poked her head out and said bluntly: "Master Leng, you are afraid that Brother Li will be in danger."
