Li Qingyi secretly looked at the crowd. Except for the second wife who was ill and did not come, most of the people here were the wives and aunts of various hospitals, and there were no juniors included.
From this, we can also see that Mrs. Wei is rigorous in running the family.
In such a sudden situation, it can still ensure that the loss of posture does not become chaotic, and the places that should be controlled are firmly controlled.
The sky had completely darkened, and night covered the sky and earth. The steward led Cui Chun, the young minister of Dali Temple, through the hanging flower gate and into the inner courtyard.
Cui Chun's expression was condensed. The steward had just briefly explained the whole story.
But he really didn't know what the truth was.
The Wei family was showing signs of prosperity, so he had to be cautious.
However, he found that none of the three masters of the Wei family showed up at this time.
Did he not pay enough attention to Miss Li who fell from the sky, or did he know the situation so well that there was no need to spend a lot of time?
But these doubts were all dismissed the moment he saw Li Qingyi.
As the young minister of Dali Temple, all criminal and prison cases in the capital were under his jurisdiction, so what he saw and heard was naturally not something that ordinary people could compare to.
The man who was in the limelight in front of him showed no sign of being a newbie. He stood among the crowd, and his aura was no weaker than that of Mrs. Wei and Princess Yuanheng who were present. It was not comparable to that of ordinary nobles.
How confident is this?
Are the ignorant fearless?
Certainly not.
Otherwise, the people of the Wei family would not pay so much attention to it.
He has heard that today Li Qingyi's second uncle, the newly appointed Marquis Xuande, followed Qin Zeng into the palace to meet the emperor.
The emperor promoted Li Yong to an official position on the spot and ordered him to become the prince's young master!
Considering the importance the emperor attaches to the prince, it is already extraordinary to be placed beside the prince, and it is even more extraordinary for someone who can teach/teach the prince!
The Xuandehou Mansion, which has been dormant for many years, is about to emerge again!
Moreover, there is another thing that cannot be ignored.
Mr. Qin, the admiral of the East Factory, seems to be very familiar with the Li family!
Mr. Qin was involved in a scandal with Miss Li some time ago!
Although it is nonsense, if anyone dares to spread the rumors about Qin Zeng's scandal and has not been investigated, it is really an unprecedented and strange thing!
So Cui Chun is very panicked now!
If possible, he really wants to push the matter to the Ministry of Justice!
"Cui has met the old lady."
Cui Chunke politely saluted Mrs. Wei and said hello. The old lady just nodded and said: "The justice of the king is naturally insurmountable. The four girls will not die in vain."
She waved her servants to take Aunt Jiang aside and said to Cui Chun, "Master Cui, let me do the autopsy!"
Aunt Jiang was pulled aside and was still agitated, her chest heaving violently as she stared at Li Qingyi.
Cui Chun thought to himself that no matter what kind of family he was, he would inevitably have such right and wrong. He nodded in agreement and ordered his assistant to step forward and take a closer look at Wei Xueying's body.
Because the matter was so important, Zuo Zuo did not dare to be careless at all, and carefully took the black blood from Wei Xueying's mouth to verify it carefully.
In the Haoyue Pavilion, Wei Jin'er was sitting at the table, her brows furrowed and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Luoxue ran into the door with her skirt in hand, looking so frightened that she even forgot to salute: "Girl, something happened to the fourth girl!"
"problem occurs?"
Wei Jin'er frowned even more tightly.
There was sudden chaos in the mansion just now, saying that something happened at Zhuoxiangyuan. But the old lady quickly suppressed the matter and called Princess Yuanheng and the third lady to go to Zhuoxiangyuan together. He also specifically ordered that the juniors like them were not allowed to leave their own courtyard without permission.
Therefore, she could only let Luo Xue go out quietly to inquire.
Luoxue said: "Yes, the fourth girl died in Zhuoxiangyuan! I heard that people from Dali Temple are here! The old lady means that this matter seems to be handled publicly..."
"Wei Xueying is dead?"
Wei Jin'er's calm face slowly revealed a look of horror: "What do you mean? How did she die?"
"I don't know... the old lady said something. Everyone was very tight-lipped and didn't dare to say anything more. But some people heard that Xiao Tao, who was next to the fourth girl, ran out of Zhuoxiangyuan and said, 'Miss Li killed someone!'"
"Did Li Qingyi kill her?" Wei Jin'er was even more unbelievable.
Shen Shuang said in horror: "Miss Li, is she really so cruel?"
Wei Jin'er shook her head subconsciously: "This... this is impossible, this is unreasonable! A person like Li Qingyi is an absolutely powerful character and would never do such stupid things for no reason. What good would killing Wei Xueying do to her?! Even if it is necessary, If you want to kill, you have to set up a seamless situation, so what is this! Asking for trouble?"
Luoxue said in surprise: "What the girl means is that there is another mystery to this matter. Didn't Miss Li do it?"
Wei Jin'er didn't refute, which meant she acquiesced.
Luoxue said hesitantly: "Miss Li is not very young, so it's not impossible to be impulsive, right? Didn't Miss Li step on the fourth girl hard in the morning... She said there was a spider, I'm afraid she was bluffing …”
Shen Shuang thought for a moment and said, "Even if Miss Li really did it, the family would find a way to cover it up, right? Why would they invite people from Dali Temple?"
Wei Jin'er thought deeper and said: "Since my grandmother handed this matter over to Dali Temple, she made it clear that she wanted to protect Li Qingyi and restore her innocence. Therefore, I am even more sure that this matter was definitely not caused by Li Qingyi! "
Shen Shuang said worriedly at this time: "Girl, this matter suddenly involves Dali Temple, will it..."
Wei Jin'er raised her head and glanced at her, knowing what she was talking about.
Wei Xueying went to Zhuoxiangyuan to provoke her because she had people tell those rumors deliberately in front of Wei Xueying! Suggesting that she should challenge Li Qingyi to try it out! As a result, someone used this incident to kill Wei Xueying and blame Li Qingyi!
Will anyone doubt her about this?
If someone suspects her, even if it turns out to be not directly related to her, she will be implicated!
She is now guilty! If something bad happens again, no one will want to protect her!
The Wei family would not be willing to help a fool over and over again!
"This Li Qingyi must be my nemesis. Ever since she came, everything has gone wrong for me!"
Luoxue and Shen Shuang looked at each other, but neither of them thought of any good ideas for the time being.
After a while, Shen Shuang said: "Even if the old lady wants to find out who instigated the fourth girl to find Miss Li, I'm afraid it won't be that fast. After they are over, it won't be too late for the girl to ask Xiao Tao to find out. "
Wei Jin'er muttered: "If it doesn't work, we can only find a scapegoat."
At this time in Zhuoxiangyuan, the work has come to fruition.
The results were beyond expectations.
Wu Zuang glanced at Cui Chun in confusion, and everyone looked confused when they saw this.
Cui Chun couldn't pull Wu Zuo aside to whisper in front of everyone, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "If you have anything to say, you can't hide it in front of Mrs. Wei."
"Yes, sir."
Wu Zuo took the paper he had just recorded and read: "The deceased woman was five feet five inches long. She had no external injuries or signs of struggle. Black blood overflowed from her seven orifices. She must have died of poisoning. The blood stains on the body were taken for verification and it was found that the poison was... The poison of the red-backed tarantula..."
"Red-backed tarantula?"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.
Mrs. Wei frowned and asked, "What is a red-backed wolf spider?"
Wu Zuo turned around slightly, as if he wanted to take a look at Li Qingyi's expression, but he stopped halfway, as if he didn't dare to look at this person's face.
He bowed and said carefully: "The red-backed wolf spider is a highly venomous spider. It is characterized by its small size, like floating dust, which is easily detectable. Even if it bites a wound on a human body, it is almost impossible to find it. Where. Once a person is bitten, there is no chance of survival... Normally, this kind of spider will not appear in crowded places."
Will not appear in crowded places.
When everyone heard this, they first shouted in low voices, and then there was an uproar.
Doesn't this mean that the spider's appearance here must be man-made!
Li Qingyi narrowed his eyes slightly, red-backed tarantula? Haha... The person who did this was really good at taking advantage of loopholes. She had just scared Wei Xueying with a spider in the morning, and Wei Xueying died at the hands of a poisonous spider in the evening!
Moreover, she slapped Wei Xueying just now, and now her cheeks are still red and swollen. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that they had a conflict.
Mrs. Wei couldn't help but look at Li Qingyi.
