Li Qingyi got on the carriage with Princess Yuanheng and Wei Jin'er, and Mrs. Lin was also carried out from the Nanning Marquis Mansion.
Mrs. Lin tried her best to maintain her dignity, but she still couldn't help showing her timidity.
When Mrs. Zou saw the Wei family's carriage leaving, she thought a few times and said to Ruyuan, "Go back and pack your things. I want to go back to the Zou family!"
Ruyuan was startled, "What are you doing back at Zou's house, madam?"
Ms. Zou looked at her: "Are you stupid? This time Ms. Lin goes back, this matter will definitely be unsolvable. Even if the Wei family can't find me, the Li family may not be willing to give up! I'll go back to the Zou family to take shelter first. Let’s talk about it later!”
When Ru Yuan heard this, her heart beat like a drum, "Madam, is it possible that Aunt Wen's matter..."
Zou paused and frowned.
Although it was Lin who had the idea to kill Aunt Wen, it was Ru Yuan who did it. Ru Yuan was her maid, and Lin was forced. So will Wei Shiyuan come to settle accounts with her after knowing the truth? new
Mrs. Zou glanced at Ruyuan, quickly returned to the house, took out Ruyuan's deed of betrayal, and gave her another thirty taels of silver, saying: "You and I are masters and servants. Now that the Dong Chuang incident has happened, Mrs. Lin still I don’t know if I can protect myself, and I can’t protect you, so I will give you the deed of betrayal now, and you can run away quickly.”
Ruyuan took the sale deed and the money and said with trembling lips, "Madam, I have no home for a long time... Where should I go?"
Ms. Zou frowned, "If you stay in the Lin family, Wei Shiyuan will never let you go. By then you will not even be alive. How can you say that the family is not a family? Let's leave the capital first. After the limelight is over, we can come back." !」
When Ru Yuan heard this, she was extremely grateful, "Thank you grandma for taking care of me!"
Seeing her go back to pack her bags and prepare to run away, Zou felt relieved.
The murderer couldn't stay with her, lest Wei Shiyuan become angry later.
She is already unlucky enough. She still has not yet settled the more than seventeen thousand taels she owes to the gambling house!
She never wanted to use her selfishness unless absolutely necessary.
In this room, Ruyuan took the money given by Zou and counted the money she had saved in her daily life, which amounted to nearly forty taels. With this money, she could save it for a long time, but if it didn't work, she would not return to the capital. !
She was afraid of attracting attention, so she didn't even plan to bring the package. She quickly sewed the money into the pocket of her middle coat and put on three layers of clothes. Anyway, the weather was cold now, and others looked at her as just being fatter. Unexpectedly elsewhere.
She thought for a while and left the house directly through the small door that the shopping lady used to go through without saying goodbye to Mrs. Zou.
However, Ruyuan didn't know that someone had been watching everywhere in the Nanning Marquis Mansion.
As soon as she came out of the house, someone saw her.
Aye and his younger brother Shui Sheng had been sneaking around for a long time. They hid in a corner and waited dryly for a day. They were about to let Shui Sheng buy some food to fill their stomachs when they saw a girl with a big body and a small head, tiptoeing out of the corner door. .
A Ye suddenly became energetic and nudged the sleepy Shui Sheng with his elbow: "Let's go, keep up!"
Shuisheng's eyes widened, "Where is it? Where is it?"
Ah Ye kicked him angrily, "Be careful, don't let anyone find out!"
Shuisheng rubbed his butt and muttered: "Why don't you let Mr. Qin help arrest the person? If we let him go, wouldn't it be a big deal?"
"You kid, don't murmur. Even if Mr. Qin has a good relationship with our girl, you can't trouble him with everything. Just arresting a little girl and using people from Dongchang to take action? What's that? What's the point of killing a chicken? Awesome!"
Shui Sheng groaned: "Brother, have you been with the second master for a long time? You speak in a polite manner. It sounds very uncomfortable..."
"Cut the nonsense!"
The two of them followed the girl for a long distance and found that she seemed to be leaving the city.
The two of them immediately got on the carriage, and the boy from afar said: "Brother, the girl said that if you see anyone from the Lin Mansion leaving the city, you will stop them. If you don't obey, you will be knocked unconscious and taken away!"
The corner of Aye's mouth twitched: "You go!"
Shui Sheng grinned: "Brother, I don't have the power to tie a chicken..."
"Fuck you, uncle!" Aye gave Shuisheng a bang and chased him a few steps forward, "Follow me quickly, no one will be around in a while!"
Ruyuan didn't want people to notice her whereabouts, so she consciously avoided crowded places, which gave Aye the opportunity to jump out from the corner when she passed through the alley.
Ruyuan screamed in fright and fell to the ground. She was stunned for a while before she realized what she was doing. She got up and was about to run back. Unexpectedly, someone blocked the exit at the back of the alley.
Aye and Shuisheng blocked one end of the road and approached her. She couldn't help but panicked and shouted: "Who are you? Why are you blocking me?"
"Humph, I stopped you, so of course I have something to ask." Aye pretended, took another step forward, and asked, "Are you the maid of the Lin Mansion? Why are you leaving the city?!"
Ruyuan looked around at the two people blocking the road. She didn't want to answer but she didn't dare not. She forced herself to calm down and said, "I am the maid of the Lin Mansion. I went out of the city to work for my master."
Aye thought for a while and asked, "Which master do you work for?"
Ruyuan's heart skipped a beat, she paused and said, "I, I'm going to do something for the third wife in the mansion..."
Third wife? Isn't he the one who teamed up with Lin to deceive his master?
Aye touched his chin and winked at Shui Sheng behind Ru Yuan. Shui Sheng gestured hesitantly and slapped Ru Yuan on the back of her neck. Ru Yuan was stunned by her, but she had no intention of falling unconscious.
Aye jumped to his feet and cursed: "What's the point of bringing you here!"
As he said that, he raised his palm knife and struck Ru Yuan on the neck again. Ru Yuan trembled in pain and fell to the ground.
Shuisheng shrank his neck with guilt, quickly raised his thumbs up and complimented, "Big brother is mighty!"
Aye kicked him and said, "Hurry up, there must be something wrong with this girl, take her away!"
Wei Mansion.
Li Qingyi got off the carriage and told Princess Yuanheng to go back to Zhuoxiangyuan first.
As soon as she came back, Chang Ning stepped forward and said, "Girl, Aye has captured Ru Yuan and brought her here. Do you want me to bring her in for interrogation?"
Li Qingyi smiled: "Very good."
Chang Ning got the order, picked up his feet and left.
Aye was waiting in the alley outside Wei Mansion. When he heard that Chang Lan was going to take the person away, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "I guess she will wake up soon."
Chang Ning smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, the girl gave this to you!"
Aye has been in the house since he was a child and is very familiar with Li Qingyi. He accepted it generously and said with a smile: "Thank you for the reward, girl."
Chang Ning grabbed Ru Yuan's arm and flew up to the wall, then turned around and agreed, "Okay!"
Shui Sheng clicked his tongue and said, "This guy is stronger than me!"
Aye reached out and hit him on the back of the head, "You weakling, how dare you say that?"
Shuisheng chuckled, and when he saw Aye still looking at the wall, he laughed so hard, "Brother, no one is there anymore, are you still looking?"
Aye blushed, turned around and said, "Hurry and leave."
Shuisheng didn't spare him, "When Changning was recuperating in our house, my eldest brother would always talk to her. What's wrong? Do you have any thoughts about Changning?"
"Fuck you!" Aye grabbed Shuisheng's ears: "If your lies spread, won't they ruin their reputation! If you say one more word, I will tell the girl that you are not doing things well and I will deduct your money!" "
"Hey, brother, please forgive me, I won't talk anymore..."
On the other side of the wall, Chang Ning listened to all the conversation between the two and returned to Zhuoxiangyuan with a blushing face.
Li Qingyi looked at her and asked, "Has your old injury relapsed?"
Changlan was startled when he heard this, and Ye asked: "Why is your face so red?"
Chang Ning quickly covered his face, "Is there any? Maybe... it was blown by the wind just now."
Li Qingyi said: "Although your previous injury has healed, your body has regained its strength. You must not take it lightly. I asked Heng Wu to make some ginger soup and everyone drank some. It has just entered winter and it is most likely to catch wind and cold."
Chang Ning covered her face, "Yes... Miss, it's better to interrogate this Ru Yuan quickly."
Li Qingyi looked at Ru Yuan who had passed out and said, "Wake her up!"
Chang Ning dragged Ru Yuan into the yard and poured a basin of cold water into it, which woke her up.
Ruyuan ignored the cold chill that ran through her body and stared blankly at the situation in front of her for a moment before suddenly reacting, "Here, where is this?"
Li Qingyi came out of the house holding his hands, "What do you think?"
"Li, Miss Li..." Ruyuan laughed dryly, "Do you have anything to do with me?"
Silan moved a chair over, and Li Qingyi sat down leisurely, but the question in his mouth was unambiguous, "How did you kill Aunt Wen?"
When Ru Yuan suddenly heard this sentence, all the hairs on her body stood up. Her legs were so weak that she couldn't kneel down and could only fall to the ground. "What did Miss Li say? Why did this slave want to kill Aunt Wen..."
"Heh, that's a really good question."
Seeing her look like this, Ruyuan's face changed from red to white for a while. She looked around and found that this was the courtyard where Li Qingyi lived. There was no one else in the Wei family. The fear in her heart receded a little, and she quibbled: "Li Qingyi Big girl, stop joking. How could I be the one who killed this person? I am from the Lin family. Even though I stayed at the Wei family for a few days, I have never seen Aunt Wen. How could I kill her..."
Li Qingyi raised his eyebrows, "You are sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued. No wonder Mrs. Zou asked you to stare at Mrs. Wei. I'm afraid she will be very angry with your clever mouth. Otherwise, how could she set up a trap for you?" Go kill people. Since you are involved in this matter, you will definitely not be able to escape. When the incident comes out, you will be finished."
"What are you talking about? You mean, my aunt wanted me to do it from the beginning?"
"What do you think?"
Ruyuan's face turned pale, and she instantly realized that she had spilled the beans.
Li Qingyi said: "On the day of the accident, Mrs. Lin went to the palace and was not at home at all. You are Zou's girl. Of course you must obey your master's orders when you do anything. Is Mrs. Lin your master?"
Ruyuan looked ugly and heard Li Qingyi say again: "When Mrs. Wei asked, she could have said that you were ordered by Mrs. Zou to force her to take money. If she doesn't give you money, you won't leave. Later I heard He said that Aunt Wen was quite wealthy, so he took advantage of it and took the opportunity to kill Aunt Wen and steal her jewelry while she was not at home!"
"No, this..."
"If Mrs. Lin ordered you to do something, you would definitely explain it to her after it was done. But when you wrapped Aunt Wen's jewelry around your waist and left the Wei Mansion, Mrs. Lin hadn't come back yet, so she could have said this. This matter was ordered by Mr. Zou, or it was your own initiative."
