Chapter 103

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Xie Tinglan was walking near the flower hall, and saw that many maids in the mansion gathered together to chew their tongues, and felt very strange.

When she walked to the corridor, she called one at random, and asked with a smile, "Did anything unusual happen in the house? I saw you guys chatting all the time."

All the servants in the mansion knew that she was easy-going, so they replied after saluting: "Early this morning, there was a woman sitting at the gate of our mansion, who said she was Miss Wang's family and wanted to come in to see Miss Wang. After the concierge told her, But Ms. Wang told them to drive them away, and then the woman made a fuss at the door, saying that Ms. Wang had no conscience..."

Xie Tinglan listened quietly, and the maid continued: "Later, the master and madam were alarmed, and the madam decided to invite the woman in, and she is still in the hall until now."

When something like this happened, it's no wonder that these little girls would get together and chat. Originally, Wang Rongyue was staying at the mansion, but there were ignorant gossips behind her back saying that she took advantage of Wei Pingsheng and his wife. Her relatives are always naughty when they come to the door, and these people have more topics to talk about.

Xie Tinglan was gentle towards the servants, but never indulged. After hearing this, she suppressed her smile and glanced at the maids standing in the courtyard.

It seemed that he was only talking to the people in front of him, but his voice was enough for those people to hear him clearly.

"Forget it this time. Next time, if you talk about foreigners in private again, you will have to deal with them according to family law." The light words easily shocked several maids.

Xie Tinglan diverted to the front hall, it seemed that she was late, and the result of the discussion had already been reached.

When Xie Tinglan arrived, Wang Rongyue was kneeling in front of Mrs. Shen, and said in a crying voice: "I am the one who caused trouble to my uncle and aunt. Thanks to my uncle and aunt, Yue'er will be a cow and a horse in the next life, so she must be good." Repay you."

Frightened, Shen got up from the chair and went to help her. Wei Pingsheng said dumbfounded, "It's not that serious, get up quickly."

Aunt Wang stood aside to help Wang Rongyue up, and thanked Wei Pingsheng and his wife with a smile on her face, "Don't worry, madam, I will definitely work hard in the house."

Xie Tinglan saw this scene under the corridor of the courtyard, she thought about it, went around the path to the side room and waited, called the maid to go to the front hall to watch, and specially told Wang Rongyue and Aunt Wang to leave , and then told Mrs. Shen about her stay in the ear room.

Not long after, there were footsteps outside, and Mrs. Shen walked in and said, "Xing Xing, when did you come? What are you doing here?"

Xie Tinglan stood up to meet her, sat down again after Shen was seated, and pushed the tea poured in advance.

He laughed and said, "I was afraid to disturb my uncle and aunt's work, so I went here first and waited. I saw it when I came here just now. Did my aunt leave Wang Rongyue's aunt behind?"

The smile on Shen's face was not very warm, and there was displeasure in her eyes, but it was not particularly strong.

She said: "Let's stay, what else can I do, I can't send her away, and I can't let her come and sit at the door of the house every day. Waiting for Rongyue and Ji, she will move out. I looked at her The mouth is sharp, this year I kept her by my side as a nanny, it was not in vain."

Xie Tinglan said: "There are really not many people in this world who are as emotional as uncle and aunt."

To some extent, Shen also felt that this behavior was useless, but to be honest, she also found it annoying.She also knew that Wei Pingsheng was also upset.

What can be done, Wang Rongyue is an orphan girl, her father and Wei Pingsheng are still good friends, if she doesn't help Wei Pingsheng, she will suffer in her heart.

The couple just wanted to bear with it, and when Wang Rongyue got married next year, the couple would find her a good home and go directly from one door to the other, and they would feel at ease.

As for Aunt Wang, Shen and Wei Pingsheng have their own way of dealing with reasonable people, but it is this kind of unreasonable and thick-skinned, the couple can't deal with cruelty, and they have nothing to do with her.

In the end, Aunt Wang herself has a bit of conscience, knowing that the Qingzhou Mansion is not doing kindness for nothing, and it is her own idea to propose to serve by Shen's side.

Only then did Shen and Wei Pingsheng compromise.

Shen took a big sip of tea, and let out a deep breath, it was obvious that Cai was really holding back just now.

Xie Tinglan covered her mouth and chuckled a few times, then changed the subject: "Is there any news from King Qi?"

Shen Shi said: "Your uncle received news from the post station today. King Qi's team will arrive at Qingzhou Mansion at noon tomorrow at the latest. The new relief food and supplies have arrived. What your uncle means is to send them directly to Rehe without wasting time. If King Qi arrives tomorrow morning, they will leave in the afternoon; if they arrive at noon, they will rest overnight."

As she spoke, a relaxed expression appeared on Shen's face. After so many days of trembling and trembling, this day is finally coming to an end.

"When your uncle hands over the evidence to King Qi tomorrow, he will have nothing to do, and I don't have to worry about someone breaking in all day long." Shen laughed at herself.

It was the first time King Qi received such a big errand, and he definitely didn't want to be upstaged by others. Wei Ping didn't have to hang the bunch of keys even when he slept. It was a thrilling time. She used to think that being with the king in Beijing Being with a tiger is the most dangerous thing, but this time, Shen felt that it would be better to accompany him in Beijing.

Xie Tinglan's eyes flashed, and he seemed to say unintentionally: "The mansion was stolen last time, but no evidence was lost. Could it be that they think that the current evidence is not enough for them to expose, so they didn't take anything Let's go... When I went to my uncle's study to look for books last time, I saw that his notebooks were all on the table, and I didn't take care of them."

There are relatives in front of him, and Shen has no defense at all, and said with a smile: "His things are half-truths, so as to prevent someone from stealing them. He locked up all the really useful ones, but he still holds the key in his hand when he sleeps." Well. I don’t know if his evidence can find the real murderer, but your uncle has been handling cases in Beijing for so many years and has solved many strange cases, but this time the real murderer is too cunning and ruthless.”

Xie Tinglan was absent-minded, she was a little anxious, because the evidence would be handed directly to King Qi tomorrow, but she had kept Shen Jiu staring at Wei Pingsheng for the past few days, but she couldn't steal the key from him. Uncle is very defensive, and the guards around him are also very capable.

Unless it can be taken away quietly, if it is found out and the people in the study take the box away, it is useless for her to have a key.

Tonight is the last night, I am afraid that Wei Pingsheng will be more vigilant tonight, and it is even more impossible to get the key.

That being the case, we can only wait for the evidence to reach King Qi.

At night, Xie Tinglan always felt a little flustered today, lying on the bed tossing and turning, still unable to fall asleep.

She simply got up and lit the lamp, and sat on the warm kang with a soft pillow to read idle books.

The book was a hardcover book that Yuxiu bought for her before she came out of the capital. Xie Tinglan didn't turn over a single page along the way, and this was the first time she read it tonight.

But within two pages, an evil wind blew out the candle in her hand.

The muffled sound of a landing made Xie Tinglan's heart skip a beat.
