Xiao Qiniang's face was pale, as if she had been greatly frightened. We hadn't seen her for a long time, and she looked haggard. Her eyes were filled with red bloodshot eyes, and she looked like she had stayed up all night.
Liu Ya was also shocked when she saw Xiao Qiniang's appearance. The person who was so dazzling in the morning was now like a withered flower, as if all the life in her body had been drained away.
"It's you, right?"
Li Man'er looked at Xiao Qiniang in confusion, "What is me? What does Miss Xiao Qiniang mean by this? I don't understand."
"It was you, it was you who harmed Xing'er."
Li Man'er opened her eyes wide, with an innocent look on her face, "What are you talking about, Miss Xing'er was killed? What on earth is going on?"
Liu Ya was also puzzled, this was the Xiao family, and that Xing'er was Miss Xiao Qi's personal maid, how could she have been killed in the Xiao family.
"Miss Qi, Miss Xing'er is like your right-hand man. I understand that you are sad if something happens to her. But you can't talk nonsense and bite randomly." Li Man'er leaned on the back of the chair with a very relaxed expression, "We will leave in the morning
At that time, Miss Xing'er was still fine. Now you say that I harmed her, where is the evidence? How did I harm her? Was it poisoning, or did I kill her?"
"You..." Miss Xiao Qi's eyes turned red, and her breath was stuck in her throat. She couldn't swallow it or spit it out, and almost choked her to death.
"You have no evidence, but I do." Li Man'er stood up suddenly, "After Liu Ya and I left Miss Xiao Qi's place in the morning, we went back to Xiaoquan Hospital to take care of my father, decoction, acupuncture, and...
Let’s have lunch. The guards and wives in the small courtyard can all testify for us, master and servant, that we have never left the small courtyard, so how can we harm your girl Xing’er.”
Miss Xiao Qi turned pale but remained silent.
"Of course, this is the government office, which means it is the territory of your Xiao family. If you insist on saying that I was the one who harmed Miss Xing'er, there will be someone to testify for you, and we won't be able to argue with you."
Miss Xiao Qi closed her eyes in pain, pointed to the door and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you. Miss Li, please go back! Since it was a misunderstanding, I will apologize someday."
Li Maner walked out with a straight face and said nothing. Although Liu Ya looked confused, she could only follow him out in a hurry.
"Girl, what does Miss Xiao Qi mean? Why don't you understand this?" From what she meant, it seemed that Xing'er had been harmed. Then Miss Xiao Qi suspected that they were the ones who did the harm, but she couldn't provide any evidence.
, and he didn’t really mean to frame him, he even said something about apologizing, but she was so confused!
Li Man'er said: "Never mind her, it has nothing to do with us anyway."
How could it have nothing to do with her!
Li Man'er knew clearly that she was the one who killed Xing'er. Although she didn't do it, she forced her will on Xiao Qiniang. She couldn't help herself and killed Xing'er with her own hands. How could she do it?
I don’t hate her!
But no one else knew about this matter. If Xiao Qiniang told her, no one would believe her!
"I told you before that she is about to die."
Liu Ya seemed to understand, but thought to herself that this might be retribution.
At the same time, Miss Xiao Qi was sitting on a chair, her face was pale, and her whole body was exuding a cold aura. The little girl behind her did not dare to look at her, her whole body was trembling slightly, and she could not control it at all.
At noon, everyone saw with their own eyes that after Miss Xiao Qi woke up, she went crazy and stabbed Xing'er to death with the short knife hanging on the wall. Xing'er never expected that her master would use this method.
She ended her life in such a way that she didn't even know what mistake she had made. She fell down before she even had time to ask why.
When Xing'er died, her whole body was covered in blood, her eyes were wide open, her facial features were distorted, and she could not rest in peace at all. But their mistress, Miss Xiao Qi, dropped the knife in her hand in panic and looked at Xing'er's body blankly, as if she didn't even look at her body.
It’s like I don’t know what happened…
Xiao Qiniang could clearly hear the chattering of the girl's teeth behind her. She was angry, but she would not take it out on her girl. She immediately said: "You go out, I will be alone."
As if she was about to receive an amnesty, the girl quickly bowed and ran out.
Xiao Qiniang sneered. Now in their eyes, she is probably no different from a murderous demon! She killed her closest maid in such a cruel way. Anyone would think she is disgusting!
But this was not her original intention at all, it was Li Maner who controlled her.
Who would believe it? Even if she told this matter now, who would believe it?
Xiao Qiniang took a deep breath, and her eyes returned to their former clarity, with firmness in them. She wanted to find out the secret of Li Man'er, and maybe this person would be used by her in the future. If she could get used to it,
It would be the best if she has the means to control people's hearts.
The greed of human nature was clearly revealed in Xiao Qiniang. She didn't even think about it. She had already guessed this. How could Li Man'er let her go? As long as the time was right, Xiao Qiniang would just be the next Xing'er.
That night, after Li Nian returned to the house after dinner, he suddenly found that there was a strange smell in the house. He took out the dagger hidden in his sleeve. Just when he wanted to strike first, two people suddenly walked out from behind the curtain.
.
The man walking in front was dressed in a blue brocade robe and had sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, as if he were a banished immortal who had stepped out of the palace.
Li Nian only glanced at it and felt a thump in his heart. He immediately put away the dagger in his hand and stepped forward to salute, "Your Majesty, Li Nian, I have met the prince."
If the person in front of me is not the Ninth Prince Qi Yihan, who is he?
"Master Li, there is no need to be polite. Don't reveal your identity when you go out."
Li Nian immediately said: "Young Master is right."
Qi Yihan glanced at Ah Qi, who said: "Li... Shopkeeper Li, your niece asked me to give you a message. Your brother will wake up in the next day or two, and she asked you to make plans in advance."
Everything has been planned by Li Maner for a long time. The Xiao family can trap her, but they cannot trap Qi Yihan and Ah Qi. The master and servant can come and go freely, and they can also plant spies in the government office to pass on her a message.
Of course it is not difficult to say.
Li Nian was overjoyed after hearing this. Although he murmured in his mind why the Ninth Prince would send a message for his niece, he did not dare to ask.
"Thank you, Master." Li Nian said bravely, "I would like to ask, Master, what is the important matter for you to come to Mobei? Do you need help?"
"It's best if you only know about this, and don't make it public." Qi Yihan then added: "As for Miss Li, it's better to send someone to take her back! In the middle of winter, the temperature in Mobei plummets, and it's too cold, not suitable for her.
"
Li Nian had no time to think of anything else, so he had to agree first. After Qi Yihan left, Li Nian frowned. This girl, Man'er, could actually instruct the Ninth Prince to pass a message for her. The two of them couldn't be the same.
