The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 118 The key clue suddenly found

Qiao Jiuxiu understands the difference between Shu embroidery and Suhang embroidery. Thanks to Ye Duanyi, I will be able to do business in front of Su Xiuniang tomorrow. If I don’t know anything about it, Su Xiuniang will definitely feel that she is hopeless , At that time, there is no interest in teaching myself.Originally, Ye Duanyi planned to let Qiao Jiuxiu stay in the courtyard for a while, but Qiao Jiuxiu thought it was better not to disturb Ye Duanyi, so she found a reason to leave.

The curfew was completely over. After leaving Ye Duanyi's room, except for groups of patrolling soldiers, Qiao Jiuxiu saw no one else.While walking with his head buried, he saw a person hiding behind a rockery, as if he was doing something shady.She approached cautiously, and for the sake of safety, she even found a stone from the ground and held it in her hand.She should have stayed far away, but for some reason, she chose to get closer this time.

Looking at the back, it was a man, and he was dressed as a guard of Qiao's residence. This time they stayed at the Lin's house temporarily, and the maids and guards brought some of them over.However, all the guards live in the West Wing, and they are rarely seen on weekdays, and the curfew has passed, doesn't it mean that they can't move around?What is he doing here?

Qiao Jiuxiu approached, but found that he was burning money paper, there was already a mass of ashes in the basin in front of him, obviously it had been burned for some time.Is it a funeral?Just why is it today?Today is not an auspicious day, and it is not the time to worship ancestors.And it's not good to do such a thing in someone else's house.Now that she has figured out what is going on, Qiao Jiuxiu is ready to leave. One more thing is worse than one less thing. What does burning paper have to do with her?

However, just after taking two steps, he was stopped by someone.

"Miss Nine, you won't tell what happened tonight." Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, she neither gossips nor meddlesome, and who do you want her to talk to about this matter?But now that I have seen it, I feel that I still have to say a few words.

"You should be the guard of Qiao's mansion. I've seen you before, but I just remembered your name. But anyway, I still think it's inappropriate for you to burn paper money now. We're staying at Lin's house temporarily. It's not good for other people's place to be dirty, and it will make them feel bad luck, so in my opinion, you'd better pack it up and go back. If you have this intention, it won't be too late to burn it when you have a chance to leave the house someday. "

"Miss Jiu was joking. I haven't left the house for a year. How could I have such a good opportunity to go out. Besides, today is his birthday. I couldn't celebrate her birthday with her when she was alive. Now that she's gone, Do I still have to hide and not accompany her?" The man shook his head slightly, and sent some paper money into the basin.

"Wait, the she you mentioned is also from the Qiao Mansion?" Qiao Jiuxiu frowned slightly. The meaning of the man just now was very obvious. The woman he mentioned should be the maid of the Qiao Mansion, and the time they spent together was not long. Somewhat long.It should have been together for a while, and this man is still in love, she is dead, but he still remembers her birthday, remembers her kindness, even if it is risky, he still wants to worship her.

Wait, it seems that there are only two maids in Qiao Mansion who have died recently, one is Pearl and the other is Yuzhi.Pearl is pregnant with Qiao Shaolian's child, and she shamelessly climbs up the ladder. She is not worthy of a man with such a long-term affection.So the only possibility is Yuzhi, but isn't Yuzhi about to become the eldest brother's maid?What happened to this sudden man.

"Who are you, and who is that woman? Is it Yuzhi?" Qiao Jiuxiu suddenly became a little agitated. She hadn't had any clue about the investigation of Yuzhi all this time, but today it seems that God has treated her well and let her Such a major clue was found.Could that man be the one that Hongyu said was the one who sent the note to Yuzhi?
"My name is Lin An, and I'm the guard of the Qiao Mansion. I'm mainly responsible for patrolling the courtyard of the Young Master. I... Yuzhi and I do have a crush on each other, but we're all in love, even though we've been together for three years. , but nothing has been done. I made an agreement with Yuzhi that when she is 25 years old and can leave Qiao's house, I will marry her back home in a beautiful manner, and then live happily ever after. Then we will do something together Small business, and then have one or two children, teach them to write and be human.”

When Lin An said this, his eyes were full of longing. He had conceived this happiness for a long time. Although it sounded a bit ordinary, what they wanted was such a simple happiness.However, even such a simple happiness is unbearable after all.

Before Qiao Jiuxiu had time to sigh and sigh, Lin An continued, "But my wife planned to let Yuzhi fill in the house. I had an argument with her. After all, I was jealous. I felt that no matter where I came from, I was better than her." Not the young master, it is only natural for Yuzhi to follow the young master to wear gold and silver and eat hot and spicy food. She follows me and can only live a poor life, so I deliberately stay away from her."

Qiao Jiuxiu shook his head lightly. It is true that Lin An likes Yuzhi, but it is also true that he does not understand Yuzhi. Yuzhi is definitely not the kind of woman who does not want true love for the sake of wealth and money.Sure enough, she heard Lin An continue to say, "It's just that Yuzhi soon found me and said that as long as I was willing to marry her, she would ask the young master and wife to tell her not to fill in his house. This is a big deal The young master also knew that he expressed his support for us to be together, thinking that in two days, when he was in a good mood, he would tell her not to force him to marry Yuzhi. However, something happened to Yuzhi before the young master had time to speak. gone."

When Lin An said this, he couldn't help crying, "It's all my fault, I should have taken Yu Zhiyuan to fly high in the first place. In this way, she won't have to die, and we can live the life we ​​dreamed of earlier." Lin An sighed I took a deep breath, but there is no if in this world, and I didn't know it earlier.

Qiao Jiuxiu shook her head slightly, squatted down, and helped him burn some paper money, "I am also very sad about Yuzhi's death, Yuzhi is a very good person, she helped me a lot, but in all fairness, you Don't you think Yuzhi's death is strange?"

"That's natural." There seemed to be some light in Lin An's eyes, "Miss Nine, you know that Yuzhi can't use water, right? She always stays away from water, even when washing her face, she only takes a little There is no water, so she will definitely not go to the river, but in Qiao's mansion, everyone is very good to her, I really can't think of who will harm her."

"Do you want to know the truth?" Qiao Jiuxiu knew that it would be cruel for her to do so. Lin An should have slowly forgotten about Yuzhi and started her new life, but she made him face that wound again.It would be a bit unkind to do so.But seeing Lin An nodded without hesitation, "I want to know the truth, even if my wife doesn't allow it, no matter how much the resistance is, even if I don't have any clues now, I still have to find out the truth. power."

Lin An looked at Qiao Jiuxiu and spoke very seriously.Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, sure enough, Yuzhi fell in love with a pretty good man. "To tell you the truth, I'm also investigating Yuzhi, one is because Yuzhi helped me, I can't let her die for no reason, and the other is, brother and sister Duanyi please I'm investigating this matter, don't worry, we will investigate the truth together, and the bad guys will be punished by then."

When Qiao Jiuxiu said this, she was suddenly taken aback.No, since elder brother already knew of Lin An's existence, why didn't he tell himself?This is a very important clue. If I didn't happen to pass by tonight, I'm afraid I won't be able to know this matter for a long time.The eldest brother hides such important information on purpose, is it because he intends to investigate Yuzhi himself?Or did he not intend to let himself intervene in this matter?
Qiao Jiuxiu sighed, now it is impossible for her to stay out of the matter.Once she starts something, there is no reason to end it if she fails to do it well. Therefore, she must find out exactly how Yuzhi died and who it was related to.

Lin An looked at Qiao Jiuxiu very excitedly, "Miss Nine, you are really a bodhisattva, if you can really help me find that villain, you will be my benefactor, Lin An, and I will repay you even if I am a cow and a horse .”

"Lin An, you don't need to do this." Qiao Jiuxiu quickly pulled Lin An who was about to kneel down, "I just want to clarify the matter. By the way, I really have something to ask you."

Lin An nodded, and looked at Qiao Jiuxiu very seriously, as long as she wanted to know, he would say it without reservation.

"I heard Hongyu who lived with Yuzhi say that she went out with a note on the morning of the accident. Then she went to the lake. I want to ask, you wrote the note to Yuzhi. Is it?"

"A note?" Lin An shook his head, "I've never written a note to Yuzhi." He said while scratching his head in embarrassment, "Actually, I don't know how to write at all, I'm afraid Yuzhi disliked me, so I didn't tell her about it. But I'm working hard to learn how to write, thinking that I won't let Yuzhi dislike me."

"You can't write?" Qiao Jiuxiu's eyes widened. Well, who wrote this note to Yuzhi?She really wanted to call all the guards who patrolled that night to ask, they must have seen some strangers passing by, but this would alarm the wife, and being reprimanded by the wife is a trivial matter, if the wife does not let herself continue to investigate This matter is troublesome. "By the way, are you familiar with the guards patrolling the Young Master's courtyard?"

"It's okay. What's the matter?" Lin An gave Qiao Jiuxiu a strange look. Qiao Jiuxiu bit her lip lightly and whispered something in Lin An's ear. Lin An nodded and thanked Qiao Jiuxiu.
