After all, Song Minzhi is still the daughter of the martial arts leader Song Peng. Even if this daughter has no martial arts talent, she is still valuable!
What's more, Song Minzhi is still the mistress of the Ling family, and Ling Xiao will never deal with her directly no matter how much he hates her.
But if this matter spreads, the Ling family will become the laughing stock of the entire martial arts world. The safest way to block news is to kill someone and silence them.
She was a dowry maid, so naturally she was dealt with as she was told.
The dowry maid lowered her head and buried her head in her chest, and the rapid heartbeat could be heard more clearly.
However, Qi Yuan didn't look at her at all. Without any pause, he took the wine jar and walked towards the front yard.
Qi Yuan's figure disappeared for a while before the maid came back to her senses. The door was opened wide, and the maid Song Minzhi couldn't help but get entangled when she saw Song Minzhi lying on the ground.
Finally, he chose to walk into the room and help Song Minzhi up.
Song Minzhi was helped up by the maid and lay down on the soft couch. The pain of soul tearing was too great, so Song Minzhi was in a coma for a whole day and didn't wake up until midnight.
There was only the dowry maid guarding Song Minzhi in the room, and the courtyard was eerily deserted.
The maids and wives were all taken away, but there were more and more domestic servants and guards on the three floors inside and outside.
It is conceivable that the maid was extremely frightened when Ling Xiao left and said something in the front yard. Seeing Song Minzhi wake up now was like grasping the last straw.
"Miss, you are awake. What happened? This servant could only hear the cry of the lady. When I came in, I found that you were unconscious."
The dowry maid supported Song Minzhi while she spoke.
Song Minzhi's memory of the time when her soul was stripped away was erased by Qi Yuan, but the feeling was so painful that even if she has no memory now, her body will still tremble with fear instinctively.
After a while, Song Minzhi returned to normal, took the maid's hand and started asking.
"Why did I faint? Where is Ling Xiao? How is the situation now?"
After Song Minzhi finished speaking, she looked at the closed door. It was already late at night, and she didn't know whether Ling Xiao believed what she said.
To be honest, Song Minzhi doesn't feel confident now.
"Miss, don't you remember how you passed out?" When the maid saw Song Minzhi shaking her head, her heart became heavier.
"I don't know what happened. I just saw Master Ling taking the wine jar to the front yard and never came back. Then all the maids and wives were transferred away, and there were many more servants and guards in the yard."
The words of the dowry maid made Song Minzhi frown.
Those maids and women who were transferred were probably dealt with by the old family head, and the additional guards proved that Ling Xiao must have believed her story and went around for her in front of the old family head.
As long as Ling Xiao believed it, she would make it impossible for him to find any evidence.
It's just that the old Patriarch Ling is not a fool. Why is this old guy not dead yet?
For the first time, Song Minzhi felt that the old family master was extremely obstructive. If the old head of the family is gone, Ling Xiao will be in charge of the Ling family. As long as Ling Xiao trusts her, this matter can be used as a bargaining chip for her to make Ling Xiao feel guilty about her.
But the deserted situation in the courtyard now shows that it is the arrangement of the old family owner, who is suspicious of her.
After all, the Ling family has many servants and their martial arts are very good. There is really no one in the entire martial arts world who has the strength to quietly enter the Ling family's inner courtyard and successfully drug them under the noses of the Ling family.
After succeeding, instead of killing Ling Xiao as the young master, he kidnapped Song Minzhi to insult the Ling family.
Let’s not talk about whether this person has such martial arts. If he didn’t kill Ling Xiao, but Song Min, he might not be stupid.
If there was a grudge against the Ling family, killing Ling Xiao under such circumstances would obviously make the Ling family extremely sad, but to attack Song Min, the Ling family would just have a new mistress.
The worst-case scenario is just a loss of reputation, which really won't hurt the Ling family.
Moreover, the details were really suspicious, so the old owner immediately started interrogating the people in the yard.
The client did not find out in that life, and the head of the old family was happy for the progress of the couple's relationship.
Later, she was even more happy when she learned that Song Minzhi was pregnant. However, before the child was born, the old family owner died of illness.
But if the timing changes, everything will be different.
"Miss, we..." Seeing Song Minzhi's silence, the dowry maid couldn't help but speak. After all, she was probably the next one to be transferred away.
Song Minzhi took the hand of the dowry maid and said, "Don't worry, I've put the blame on the culprit. Just say you didn't know anything after being knocked unconscious. Ling Xiao believes me.
As long as we bite to death without knowing anything, we can all live. "
Song Minzhi stared into the eyes of the dowry maid and said seriously.
The dowry maid felt a little relieved. After all, the head of the Ling family was Ling Xiao. As long as Miss Ling Xiaoxin trusted her, they would have a chance.
With this idea in mind, the master and servant discussed it for a while before Song Minzhi continued to fall asleep.
But Qi Yuan was sitting opposite the old master Ling, drinking tea calmly.
"Xiao'er, why are you still drinking tea? This Song Minzhi secretly communicated with others about the music, and even made you drunk with drugs to make you admit it. Do you know what this means?"
Patriarch Ling was so angry that he pulled out several of his beards when he saw the evidence from the investigation.
However, the person involved, his own son, looked calm and relaxed.
This made Patriarch Ling slap the table angrily, "Ling Xiao, did you listen to me? You couldn't have been tricked into losing your mind by Song Minzhi's few words!"
When the old Patriarch Ling thought about this situation, he became even more angry.
Qi Yuan put down his tea cup and looked at Patriarch Ling with clear and calm eyes.
"Father, I know what this means. Song Minzhi is doing things for others, and there are people behind her. Otherwise, she, a weak woman, would not be able to get out of the Ling family."
Qi Yuan's sensible words made Patriarch Ling slightly relieved. He was afraid that the son he had worked so hard to cultivate would really lose his mind because of this woman Song Minzhi, and he would be turned upside down.
"So what do you think about this?"
Patriarch Ling's voice softened.
"The kid has always respected her since he married her. Now that she has given an excuse for something like this to happen, the kid will just follow her wishes."
As soon as Qi Yuan said this, Patriarch Ling blew his beard and stared, raising his hand to slap the table again.
Qi Yuan quickly expressed relief and explained.
"Father, don't worry, the kid is not stupid, the kid just feels that since the people behind the scenes have intentions, instead of trying to scare the snake, we might as well go with the flow and find them all.
Otherwise we will be much more passive in the open. "
After hearing these words, Patriarch Ling's face softened. This was more or less the case, and he still had some sense of the overall situation of the Patriarch.
