Forced to be a villain, my righteousness comes first

Chapter 65 Ask
The butler's performance was a little impatient!
Li Xing couldn't help but glanced at him.

At this moment, the butler's tone was sharp and domineering, and it sounded vaguely threatening.

Li Xing hurriedly took over the conversation, waved his hand, and prevented the butler from continuing to speak, and walked to Xiaolan's side with a smile and asked kindly.

"Are you Xiaolan, Miss Liu Liu's personal maid?"

Xiaolan's eyes brightened, and she seemed to know that this was a good opportunity for her to get out of the sea of ​​suffering, so she forced herself to stand up straight by leaning on the armrest of the chair, with a flash of eagerness in her eyes.

Facing Li Xing's question, Xiaolan said with certainty: "Yes, I am Xiaolan!"

In order to strengthen her persuasion, she stretched out her hand to grab Li Xing's sleeve, but unfortunately she missed it.

"I grew up with Miss Six since I was a child, and I love sisters. This time, I came to the Zhang family as a dowry maid."

"Very good!" Li Xing adjusted his position without any trace, and at the same time nodded, giving Xiaolan affirmation and encouragement: "I heard from people in the Zhang family that Miss Six trusts you very much and will need you at any time." Be by her side, even when she abandons other servants on a few days a month, you are by her side..."

"Then please recall and tell me why you left Miss Liu's side that day?"

This question is not difficult to answer, but Xiaolan shook her head subconsciously, then raised her head eagerly and said, "I don't know too well..."

"I just remember that morning, the lady called me to the wing room, and told me to go home for her to get some of her possessions, and said that I haven't been home for a long time to be with my family, and let me stay at home for one night. Go back to Zhang's house the next day..."

It doesn't sound like a problem.

"Miss Liu asked you to go home?"

Li Xing emphasized again.

"Yes," Xiaolan nodded very positively: "I remember very clearly, this is the lady's order."

"So did you feel at that time that your lady is different from usual?"

Xiaolan thought hard, frowned, pursed her lips and shook her head.

"I didn't find any difference in Miss Tiantian!"

"Think about it again."

Li Xing moved closer to Xiaolan, stared into her eyes, smiled, but exerted real pressure.

"If there are no abnormalities that day... In the past few days, did Miss Liu show anything different from before?"

Xiaolan bit her lower lip, thought carefully, and finally shook her head.

"Okay," Li Xing straightened up, with a confident expression, took the opportunity to look around the room, caught the expressions of everyone present, then turned around and asked again.

"Then Miss Liu, every once in a while, you will abandon all the servants, leaving you alone to serve in the wing... What are you doing?"

This question made Xiaolan fall into deep thinking. From her frowning and timid expression, it can be seen that this should be something that Ms. Liu strictly prohibited her from speaking outside.

In the lobby, there was a moment of silence, and everyone saw that Li Xing's question was not answered.

The housekeeper on the side said eagerly: "You maidservant, if you tell me, just say it, what do you want to do by hiding it?"

Hearing such words from the housekeeper.

Xiaolan couldn't help showing fear on her face, and said coyly after struggling for a moment.

"That's because the lady has finished compiling a new song, and she wants to try to sing the opera she created. She is afraid that others will criticize her after hearing it, so she always abandons the servants and leaves me alone to serve."

Sing an opera written by yourself?
Li Xing expressed doubts about this, and asked, "If it's just because of this matter, there's no need to hide it so well, right?"

"My lord, you don't know something!"

Xiaolan blurted out: "My uncle doesn't agree with Miss's hobby. They have quarreled many times in private, and my uncle wants Miss to give up."

"When we first got married, the young lady shared her hobby with the uncle, but whenever the young lady happily created a new song and wanted to invite the uncle to taste it, she would be greeted with the contempt of the uncle. Over time, the young lady also Don't mention this matter in front of my uncle."

"Later, my uncle accidentally discovered that the young lady had been quietly composing, so he beat the young lady severely, and scolded the young lady for writing nonsense stuff! In the end, he burned the young lady's scores over the years..."

"Miss was sad for a long time, and she didn't even let my uncle get close."

This is a key point!

Li Xing nodded, believing what Xiaolan said, and then asked again.

"It is said that Miss Six has had close contacts with all the famous people in the city?"

Xiaolan didn't hesitate to ask this question, but after timidly looking at Mr. Liu and the housekeeper, she finally said while biting her lower lip.

"Miss often sponsors the famous people, praises them, and communicates with them cordially, but it is all done in public."

"Privately, through me, the lady also handed over the scripts she wrote to the masters, hoping that they can give me some comments, or collect their own scripts and sing them out."

"Unfortunately, even though a lot of money and energy have been spent, so far no one named Lian has fulfilled Miss's wish."

This makes sense, Li Xing nodded, at least it sounds like there is no big problem logically.

"Do you know Zhang San?"

The topic was a bit jumpy, but Xiaolan could still keep up, she nodded: "I know him, he is a son of the Zhang family."

"Proficient in martial arts, and very bold, plus he looks quite handsome..."

"There are many maids of the right age in the family who regard Zhang San as a good match."

"But Zhang San has always kept himself clean, and has never had any scandals with any maids, and he is very trusted by my uncle... Well, I often see my uncle talking with him at night by candlelight."

Proficient in martial arts?Talking at night by candlelight?

Li Xing subconsciously recalled certain eccentricities that he had heard about.

"If I ask you to recall carefully, Miss Six's various behaviors in the month before the incident happened, and find out any differences from the previous moments."

"Can you do it?" Li Xing looked directly into Xiaolan's eyes with an encouraging look, "If you remember, you can go to Mingjingzong to find me, or send the news to Changping Division."

"I promise, during this process, you will not suffer any harm because of this matter!"

After making this promise, Li Xing turned his attention to the butler of the Liu family and Mr. Liu.

Hearing this, Mr. Liu knew what he said, and immediately put on his crutches, and the clear and crisp sound of thumping resounded throughout the lobby.

"Did you hear Mr. Li's words? Remember, without my order, no one will allow Xiaolan to be tortured in private. And from now on, immediately restore Xiaolan's expenses at home!"

"Good sir!" The butler hurriedly bowed and agreed to this matter.

Li Xing nodded very satisfied with the understanding of the Liu family, and then turned his gaze to Mr. Liu.

When he came to Liu's house today, his goal was not just Xiaolan!
