The wife of the power minister's family

Chapter 109 The Shady Lover ([-]st update)
These words had obviously been suppressed in Nian Xia's heart for a long time. She was like a volcano that had been suppressed for a long time and suddenly erupted, roaring out regardless of her.

Everyone couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Xiao Yi, Xiao He and Zhao Jingming's expressions were as usual. Which big family doesn't have these shady officials in their backyard?They had grown up in these places and were already tired of seeing them.

Xinghua seemed to be frightened. Nian Xia was usually very submissive, but she didn't dare to take a breath when she was bullied. Who would have thought that she would be so scary when she exploded.

She couldn't help but said: "I have been serving the old lady since I was a child. The old lady gave me this hairpin just because she loves me. How could I know that the madam is so petty..."

Unexpectedly, she even spoke ill of her own wife. Nian Xia became even more furious and almost cried with anger, "Madam, you are so petty? If your madam is so petty, how can you allow you to be a monster around me all the time? Madam, at the beginning, I don't like the madam, and I feel that the master loves and cares about the madam too much, but ignores her as a mother.

When she first sent you here, she changed your name to Xinghua. This was because she had Madam Geying's heart in mind. She wanted to remind Madam at all times who is the real hostess of Xinghua Inn!

Do you think Madam doesn’t know that you have been unconvinced since you were sent here, that you are in Cao Ying and your heart is in Han, and that you run to Madam whenever you have free time?The old lady has not been sleeping well these days. You go there early every morning, serving soup and giving back massages. The waiters at the inn in front of you all know what you are thinking!It's just that Madam is generous and doesn't want to worry about this with you. She just turns a blind eye every day!

Where do you think Madam's illness came from during this period?The doctor said that my wife's mood swings were too high, her liver was out of balance, her qi was stagnant and turned into fire, and she had a sore throat and cough. She was always bad! "

Xinghua felt unconvinced and guilty after what she said. She opened her mouth several times to refute, but she couldn't find any space to interrupt.

After finally waiting for Nian Xia to finish speaking, Wei Dadong's disbelieving and sad voice rang out, "Did Wan Niang think so all along? You... why didn't you tell me? When Wan Niang was in front of me, she always said She is so gentle, considerate and optimistic. Sometimes I am worried about things in the inn, and my wife will comfort me..."

Nian Xia looked at her husband, bit her lip and choked out: "My wife said that the master has been worrying about rebuilding the inn recently. He gets up before dawn every day, communicates with various foremen, and is also busy with the inn ahead. , so that the servants are not allowed to bother the master with these things.

But it’s not worth it for a slave to stand in for the madam!Madam has done so much, doing housework and serving the old lady every day, but she has been bullied by the old lady and this shameless little hoof.

Now...he is still dead in an unknown way.

I ask you! "

Nian Xia suddenly glared at Xinghua, gritted his teeth and said: "This morning, you were supposed to be by Madam's side, but where were you then! If you had been by Madam's side, how could Madam have encountered this? What kind of thing! Or... Madam's death is still related to you..."

"You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately!"

Xinghua, who had been holding back for a long time, immediately said anxiously: "I... I went to the old lady's place in the morning. The old lady has not been able to sleep well recently and has a bad appetite. I have been serving the old lady before, and I know the old lady better. Because of my taste habits, I thought of going over to help...

Who would have expected...who would have expected that when I came back from serving the old lady, I would see the master's room in a mess. The lady was lying on the bed, already... out of breath! "

The others had been listening quietly to what they said. After hearing this, Xiao Yi immediately called a county official and asked him to go to the old lady and ask if the matter was true.

Xu Jing's eyes moved around the people in front of her, and she said softly: "Just now you said that in order to save money for rebuilding the Xinghua Inn, a lot of servants were released. How many servants are there in this house now? Servant?" Wei Dadong was stunned and glanced at Xu Jing inexplicably, wondering how this question could come from this woman's mouth.

Isn't she just a liar?
But seeing that none of the other officials felt anything was wrong, they could only say: "No... there are not many left. My wife and I only have Nian Xia and Xinghua. My mother has two maids left, namely Chunxiao and Dongwu, as well as a cook and a rough girl in the back kitchen, and two rough girls in the front yard, so after all calculations, there are only eight people left."

Xu Jing said meaningfully: "So, there is no serious nursing home anymore?"

Wei Dadong said: "There used to be some, but later I discovered that it is not really necessary. Because our house is connected to the inn in front, with only two corridors and a small courtyard separated in the middle. The inn is protected. Of the hospital.

And we have a few big dogs at the back door, who can also play a role in protecting the house. "

Xiao Yi immediately understood what Xu Jing meant and said: "The murderer is an acquaintance of the deceased. He must know the current situation of your family. Therefore, he also knows that if he sneaks into your family to commit murder during this period, there are few people in your family. As long as he avoids With these few people, you can easily succeed."

Wei Dadong was startled, gritted his teeth and said, "So, the culprit is someone from outside..."

"No, I'm just talking about a hypothesis. The acquaintance of the deceased may be someone from outside, or he may be someone from this house."

Xiao Yi interrupted him calmly and said: "No matter what the situation was, he obviously knew this family very well, and even knew that the two maids around the deceased were not with the deceased in the morning.

Based on this incident, I think the murderer is more likely to be someone from the house. "

Wei Dadong and the two maids were all shocked when they saw the handsome and handsome man in front of them suddenly looked at Nian Xia and asked, "When did your wife ask you to get medicine this morning?"

Nian Xia was stunned and said: "Madam, after dinner last night, she found that she still had a bad cough. The servant persuaded Madam to grab two more pills and take them. Unfortunately, it was already very late at that time. Madam is kind. , I was worried that it wouldn’t be safe for me to go out so late at night, so I said it wouldn’t be too late to get some medicine tomorrow.”

Xiao Yi nodded and said: "That is to say, not many people know that you will grab medicine this morning."

"Yes!"

Nian Xia immediately nodded excitedly and said, "I know that the people who know about this matter are Xinghua and Master Lang!"

As he said that, he glanced at Xinghua with resentment.

Xinghua's face suddenly turned pale, as if she was afraid that she would really be regarded as a suspect, and she suddenly said sharply: "You said that the master and I are the only ones who know about this matter? Who knows if your wife has used this?" To win the sympathy of other men! Don’t forget, Sang Shaodong’s family from Tongfu Inn was also here last night!
The story about your wife and the young master of Tongfu Inn has already spread throughout Jingning County!Otherwise, does Mr. Nasang, who comes to our Xinghua Inn every day, really want to give money to our Xinghua Inn?Who knows if your wife had a private meeting with him last night, and by the way, she told him about asking you to pick up medicine today!
Speaking of which, if the murderer is an acquaintance of your wife, doesn’t your wife’s shady lover also meet this condition? "

Nian Xia was startled, and her face suddenly turned red, "You!"
