Dongli drinks wine after dusk

Chapter 44
Compared to Qiu Ju's father who wanted his daughter to die quickly, Qiu Ju's mother still felt a little bit sorry for her daughter.

The daughter withered away at a speed visible to the naked eye. The meat, eggs and other things she bought cruelly were made for her daughter in different ways, but her daughter couldn't eat them anyway.

The age like a flower is about to wither. After all, it is the flesh that fell from her body. She has been guarding the side of her daughter's bed day and night, and has not closed her eyes for several days.

Wang Huairen didn't expect that Qiu Ju had lost all her shape in just a few days, and her dying appearance was really pitiful, she was no longer as lively as before.

"Fourth son." Qiu Ju couldn't get out of bed anymore, so she could only nod feebly as a salute.

"Hmph!" Wang Huairen hardened his heart, and snorted coldly: "Lady Jiang asks a question later, you must answer truthfully, if you lie, I will sell your family immediately!"

The faces of the four members of Qiu Ju's family turned pale and they fell silent.

It was Qiu Ju who reacted the fastest, struggling to stand up half of her body and begging for mercy: "Fourth son, it's all the fault of this servant who didn't take good care of the girl. You can punish this servant no matter what you want, I just ask you to see that this servant has always been loyal. For the sake of this, spare the servant’s family.”

It took several breaths intermittently to finish the sentence. Qiu Ju's beautiful eyes were filled with tears, but Wang Huairen ignored them all: "Are you trying to make a deal with me? If I refuse to agree, you won't be telling the truth? "

"The slaves dare not!"

"Hmph, I think you're very brave!" The anger in Wang Huairen's heart has been suppressed for a long time, and he has nowhere to let it go. Now when he saw Qiu Ju, after the initial shock and sympathy faded away, his anger rushed straight at her.

Jiang Chengxuan dragged him out, and winked at Jiang Jiuying before leaving.

"The three of you go out first." Jiang Jiuying dismissed Qiu Ju's family and began to ask questions.

"Qiu Ju, how old were you when you came to be with your girls?" Seeing that Qiu Ju was very nervous, with a small pale face huddled in the old quilt, she was very pitiful, Jiang Jiuying didn't go straight to the point, and chatted a few words first to let her relax. slow.

Interrogation skills vary from person to person, the most important thing is to get what you want from the other party.

"I was bought back to the Wang family with my parents when I was eight years old, and then I was assigned to Miss Seven. It's been almost eight years." Qiu Ju always felt that she was very lucky.

She has been in slavery as long as she can remember, and the former head of the family fell into poverty, so he sold their family, which not only reduced food consumption, but also made some income.

Generally like their family, two adults bring a half-grown girl and a nursing child, it is difficult to sell.There are only two who can work, but they have to raise four more mouths.

Several times, the host family wanted to split them up and sell them. If it hadn't been for the kindness of the Wang family, the four members of their family would have been separated long ago, and they would never see each other again in this life.

She is also lucky. She is the same age as the youngest seventh girl of the Wang family. When she enters the mansion, she will be assigned to the girl's side. Starting from a small girl, she will climb to the position of second-class envoy step by step.

If there is no accident, she will marry with the girl in the future, marry a promising boy, and be a managing mother in the future is her entire goal.

"Then you have grown up with your girl. How is your girl treating you well?" Jiang Jiuying smiled and pointed to the two female envoys behind her: "This is your sister Lonicera, sister Kikyo. They are also from childhood Follow me."

Like the sons and daughters of a high-ranking family, most of the servants around them grew up together from childhood, they can cultivate a deeper relationship, and they are handy in serving them. Moreover, the lives of the family members are all in the hands of the master, so they are not afraid of betraying the master in the future.

"The girl is very easy-going with the slaves." Qiu Ju missed Wang Huaiqi's kindness, and was a little dazed for a while.

"Where is Lamei? How is she treating you?"

"Sister Lamei has taken good care of me since I was eight years old. She saw that I dozed off during the night watch when I was young, and she always stayed on watch for me." Qiu Ju's intermittent narration became more and more subdued, and finally turned into sobbing. .

"Is Sister Lamei really gone?" The death of the person who got along day and night, no one can accept it for a while.

"Yeah, I heard that she died so badly that her head was smashed. The person who was looking for recognized her through the clothes on her body." Jiang Jiuying sighed quietly: "Your girl, her life and death are uncertain now."

The two were not far or close, Jiang Jiuying sat two steps away from Qiuju's bed, only Lonicera felt close, for fear that the girl would be overly ill.

This distance allows Jiang Jiuying to see clearly the micro-expression on Qiu Ju's face, and then judge how much moisture is in her words.

Because Qiu Ju's illness itself was a weird coincidence.Jiang Jiuying has never believed that there are so-called coincidences in this world. Facts have proved that many coincidences are man-made.

In Wang Huaiqi's courtyard, Jiang Jiuying briefly questioned the imprisoned maidservant, focusing on Qiu Ju's eating habits. From the beginning, she never ruled out the possibility that Qiu Ju was pretending to be ill.

He is usually in good health, and has never had a single illness in the past eight years. How could a person who loves to eat ice in the summer suddenly suffer from diarrhea after eating ice, and he is still sick? It's almost gone.

Although it is said that illness comes like a mountain falling, there are always traces to follow when the mountain is about to fall, and the fall is too fast, which is against common sense.

Now Jiang Jiuying asks questions that Qiu Ju can answer, and there is no need to lie and deceive others. She needs to determine the baseline of Qiu Ju's micro-expressions first.

There is obvious guilt on Qiu Ju's face, which is not surprising in itself, because of the slave's loyalty to the master, and because of the living's debt to the deceased.

But her performance is intriguing
I have been guilty for too long, so long that it looks like a disguise.

Human expression is the reaction of people's subconscious psychological activities. Generally, the same expression does not last long, and there will always be slight differences.A few seconds are enough for true emotional expression.Exceeding this length of time is deliberate.

"It's the maidservant who is sorry for the girl and sister Lamei." Jiang Jiuying believes that this sentence comes from Qiu Ju's sincerity, but it is not certain what is wrong with them.

"Your girl's bedside conversation book, have you ever read it?"

"The slaves are illiterate. But the girl loves to read, and she often tells the slaves that she will marry a promising, gentle and considerate husband like the one in the book."

Which girl does not have a spring, Jiang Jiuying smiled clearly, and responded: "The Wang family is looking for her. It must be a combination of talent and appearance, a match made in heaven."

This is what Jiang Jiuying said casually, neither she nor Qiu Ju should know what kind of husband's family the Wang family will choose for the youngest and most favored daughter.

Qiu Ju's eyes suddenly became a little erratic, her eyes rolled, and she subconsciously glanced to the lower right.

This is a typical trait of being ready to lie!
