"Angry?"
Li Nanke said he didn't understand.
Xiang'er's eyes slightly lowered, and after a long silence, she said: "This morning, the madam and the young lady had a quarrel, because the slaves were far away and did not dare to eavesdrop on what they were arguing about.
Later, the young lady slammed the door and left, looking very ugly. I went to visit my wife. She was very angry and smashed a pot of flowers.
After that, the lady 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 why there was a quarrel, when the madam left the young lady's room, the slave seemed to hear the young lady saying something harsh like, "He (she) does not have me". "
With him (her) or without me?
Li Nanke moved back and leaned against the doorpost in deep thought.
It's him'?
Or 'she'?
After pondering for a long time, suddenly a flash of lightning passed through the man's brain.
Li Nanke's pupils shrank instantly, and he stared at Xiang'er's fair face and asked, "Did they quarrel after the incident of He Qingyu climbing over the wall?"
"um, yes."
Xiang'er thought about it for a moment and answered in the affirmative.
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 pen and paper that 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 it 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. "My slave remembers that day very clearly. Although the madam and the young lady had a quarrel, when she was sleeping late at night, the madam still went to the young lady's room to stay with her and stayed with her all night.
In fact, the madam really doted on the young lady and rarely scolded her. I remember when I was a child, there was a fire in the courtyard, and the eldest daughter was trapped in the warehouse for fun. It was the madam who risked life and death to save her.
It can be said that Madam is willing to risk her life for the sake of the eldest lady.
But the eldest lady sometimes likes to make the madam angry, but there is nothing she can do about it. The master is usually busy and has no time to discipline her. Plus, playing with people like Wan Yingying a lot, it’s hard to avoid becoming squeamish..."
The girl chattered non-stop like she was pouring beans. Although she was rude, she still had a straightforward nature.
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 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 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 last incident involving Old Man Qin was caused by 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 became interested in playing tricks, so she tricked Old Man Qin into telling him that there was a mouse in the eldest daughter's room and asked him to go in and catch it.
Old Man Qin entered the room without any suspicion, but..."
Xiang'er was furious, and her chest was heaving even if it wasn't too bulging. "Girl Jin'er cried a lot after being looked at, and Lao Qin's head was also broken... In short, it's all the fault of 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 had a relative who was a high-ranking official in her family, so the master tacitly allowed the eldest daughter to associate 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 had low self-esteem.
In fact, Miss Jin'er is a bit vain, trying hard to fit into the circle of ladies 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 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's way.
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.
Lin Jiaoyue has an arrogant personality.
Wan Yingying has an 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 talk 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 'You and Wan Yingying both deserve to die.'
The eldest lady just cried there and said sorry.
Later, the master rushed over and asked people to pull Wen Xiucai out. When leaving, Wen Xiucai was still shouting that he wanted to kill Wan Yingying and 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 such an important thing! 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 is chasing Lin Jiaoyue and the others in Cuihong Mountain. However, the investigation into the "Red Rain" case involving Wan Yingying and Lin Jiaoyue had to continue.
After all, Lao Qintou wanted to kill these two girls, so there was no need to rain 'red rain'.
Now this literary scholar has become the number one suspect!
But just when Li Nanke stepped out of the door, he suddenly stopped, as if he noticed something, and took two steps back, looking towards the threshold.
There is a thin linen 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 hearing this, Li Nanke checked in 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: "We haven't found anything yet. Master Leng, you go to Wen's house to investigate first. I want to go to Lin's house again."
“It’s up to you to talk or not, whatever!”
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 Xiang'er's strange expression next to him, the man coughed dryly and explained: "She has been here recently, so she has a bit of a temper. She is 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 confused.
The girl bit her lip gently, her cold yet heroic 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 fine 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?"
