Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 152
Chapter 152 Disadvantageous
In that kind of situation, what else could a man do besides drinking for fun?
Qiao Linzi continued, “However, at midnight, Rui Cheng left.”
“You left by yourself?”
Qiao Linzi’s expression was strange. “According to the people who saw him, that’s what they said. He left by himself.”
“Did anyone see where he went? Who was there?” Old Madame Qiao asked in detail. After all, it was related to her daughter.
Qiao Linzi shook her head. “There are no new discoveries so far. According to the official, he has been having his wife’s whereabouts monitored because he has always suspected that there is someone outside his wife.” Last night, it was his turn to be on duty. Who knew that his wife would leave home as soon as he left? After he received the news, he immediately called for his brother … to be arrested for adultery. “Qiao Linzi hesitated when she said these two words.” The one who gave him the news was his neighborhood. The two grew up together and had a very strong relationship, so when he wasn’t around, this brother would watch over him. ” When they arrive at the courtyard, they will see … ”
The fear in Qiao Linzi’s eyes was real, but Old Madame Qiao didn’t give her a chance to catch her breath. “Tell me, what did you see?”
“Seeing the man’s wife lying on the bed with her head away, Rui Cheng stood in the middle of the room covered in blood. They immediately reported to the officer. When the officer came, they found an axe in the corner of the room with blood stains on it and a palm print.”
“Is it uncle’s?”
Qiao Linzi shook her head, “The official didn’t say anything. Rui Cheng saw that the situation wasn’t good, so he used the money and had someone notify me.”
“Where’s Matriarch Li?”
“When my mother-in-law heard that Rui Cheng had been captured by the government and was still in a lawsuit of human life, her heart palpitated. She went to the government doctor and is still in bed. Her daughter is helpless, so she wants to discuss it with her brothers.” As she spoke, Qiao Linzi cried again.
On the other hand, Old Madam Qiao was exceptionally calm.
The whole thing happened naturally without any mistakes, but she always felt that something was wrong.
She was naturally clear about what men were doing in their social life, but it was just for fun. Like Qiao Linzi, she didn’t care about it.
If Li Ruicheng had a woman outside …
Old Madame Li had reservations.
If it’s just a toy, just put it in the room. Uncle won’t do anything stupid.
Outer room or something?
Li Ruicheng wasn’t that good.
Merchant, you don’t value face that much. You’re just a woman. Placing her in the courtyard, she remembered to play on the bed.
Qiao Linzi had taken care of the backyard all these years and was tolerant of those women. Even Old Madame Li was satisfied with this. Li Ruicheng was not going to do anything to slap her daughter in the face.
Especially now that Qiao Family and the noble had become acquainted, Li Ruicheng wouldn’t not even have such a small horizon.
Moreover, according to her daughter, the other party was still married?
Heh, this immortal jump is too clumsy.
But the woman was indeed dead, so what was going on?
Old Madam Qiao remained silent, and Qiao Linzi was also nervous.
The atmosphere in the room was somewhat gloomy.
“I will discuss this with your brother.”
Old Madam Qiao was naturally talking about Qiao Linzi’s older brother, Fourth Master Qiao.
The actions of the government were very fast. No matter when a murder was committed, it was a big matter. It was not only related to one’s own achievements, but also related to the well-being of the people on the other side.
Therefore, when Qiao Yunxi received the news from the government at the first possible moment, she was somewhat surprised. She was much faster than she thought.
Qiao Xi placed the letter in her hand on the stone table and took the cherry from Nanny Shen.
“This is made from the cherry trees in the courtyard. I picked a basket this morning and delivered a plate to the middle courtyard.”
Qiao Yunxi smiled and nodded.
She was already very unhappy to send a copy to the Intermediate Court, so there was no need to think about the other rooms.
“Little miss, what should we do next?” Mammy Shen asked tentatively.
Qiao Xi shook her head, “We won’t do anything.”
“But …”
“Isn’t there still Old hag?” Qiao Yunxi blinked at Mammy Shen. “She loves her daughter so much. She will definitely find out the truth faster than the government. I just don’t know if she will regret it when she finds out the truth.”
Nanny Shen also sneered, “Li Ruicheng has been in prison for three days. Old Madame Li has paid a lot of money to save him from the pain of his skin and flesh. Jincheng has been peaceful for so many years, and now that he can return to the capital to become a capital official, there is a lawsuit about his life. Old Master Guan is very big, so he has stepped up his investigation.”
Qiao Xi stretched lazily, “This is called the perfect time and place.”
Sensing a look of disapproval, she stuck out her tongue at Mammy Feng, who was far away, and hurriedly sat upright, trying her best to act like a lady.
“Authentication material evidence, Li Ruicheng’s death penalty is not escape. The rental woman had already identified him and the deceased’s house as rented by the deceased. She had already identified the deceased as paying the rent for half a year in one go. “But the deceased is just a housewife. Occasionally, she would do a few embroidery jobs to earn a little money. The husband of the deceased was a storekeeper. A few hundred coins a month. How could there be any money to rent a house?”
“That’s why the deceased had a lover outside.” Qiao Yunxi said quickly.
Mammy Shen laughed gloatingly, “Let’s not talk about whether that person is Li Rui Cheng. When he was in the Hua Lou that day, under everyone’s gaze, he did enter the room with Hua Niang. When he left, someone saw him in front of the Hua Lou. However, he did not board the Li family’s carriage, but instead called for another carriage.” There was a woman in charge of cleaning the rented house. The government had asked her. She was invited by the deceased to clean the house. She didn’t care about anything else. She had never seen Li Ruicheng before. However, every time Li Ruicheng stayed overnight, she would clean the room and house the next day. ”
Yoho!
Qiao Yunxi raised his eyebrows with interest.
Mammy Shen scratched her nose before continuing, “On the night of the incident, someone proved to have heard the sounds of quarrels and beating and cursing. Because they were unfamiliar with the people in the house, and in the middle of the night, no one paid any attention to it. Then the sound disappeared by itself, and everyone took it as a quarrel between the two of them. After the quarrel, they fell asleep.”
“Couples? The divine dragon sees the beginning and the end, but the divine dragon sees the end.” Qiao Yunxi chuckled.
“It can’t be said to be rape, husband, lust, and quarrel between women, right?” Mammy Shen’s exaggerated statement made Qiao Yunxi laugh loudly.
The line from the day of the incident had already started to run.
“How’s Qiao Lao Si doing?”
This was what Qiao Yunxi was concerned about, so Mammy Shen’s expression became somewhat grave. “What Fourth Qiao found is similar to what the government found. We …”
Qiao Xi nodded her head in a thieving manner and said, “Release some flaws.”
“Yes, young miss.”
What to do next depended entirely on Fourth Master Qiao’s IQ.
After the afternoon nap, Little Maid said that Qiao Jinwen and Qiao Ningdai had come.
This surprised Qiao Yunxi.
At this time, shouldn’t the Qiao Family be running around for Qiao Linzi and Li Ruicheng?
“Qiao Qiao.” Qiao Xi trembled when she kindly addressed Qiao Jinwen.
She had always thought that the ancients were reserved, especially Qiao Jinwen, a young lady who was committed to marrying into a wealthy family. Pride was a must.
Because of his pride, he cared about his face.
Since he had already tore his face apart, was it really good to greet him in such a familiar manner?
Or was it that because they ignored their designs over and over again, they shamelessly assumed that her “carelessness” was tolerance, carelessness, and indifference, so they could continue to play the role of bosom sisters and ponder over the next design?
Qiao Yunxi sneered.
She clearly remembered the two identical poems at the poem conference. If she didn’t say it, it wasn’t that she didn’t care, let alone that she didn’t dare.
Just how confident were these people?
“Is something the matter?” Qiao Jinwen and Qiao Ningdai were slightly stunned by this dry sentence.
“Is Qiao Qiao angry with Third Sister?” Qiao Jinwen probed and tilted her head to look at Qiao Yunxi’s expression.
Qiao Yunxi smiled sweetly. “How dare I be angry? I’m afraid that Third Sister and Fifth Sister will come to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. I wonder what they want this time in the Eastern Campus?”
“Qiao Qiao” The mist in Qiao Jinwen’s eyes rose. She twisted her handkerchief with her fingers and stood awkwardly on the spot. She wanted to explain, but she was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to explain it clearly.
“Qiao Qiao, you misunderstood.” Qiao Ningdai, the cannon fodder, gave full play to her role at this time. “Those two poems were indeed bought from the Headmaster. However, for some reason, the Headmaster gave us the poems that he sold to Wang Min and Sun Xian. We were also surprised that we went to the Headmaster afterwards and the Headmaster said that we were mistaken. Fortunately, you’re smart. Those two poems came from Young Master Zhong and Young Master Jin. Otherwise … ”
“Otherwise what?” Qiao Yunxi laughed furiously.
Qiao Ningdai smiled embarrassedly and explained, “Wang Min and Sun Xian have always been at odds with you. If those two poems were written by you, then the two of them would probably cause a scene.”
“Then shouldn’t I thank Third Sister and Fifth Sister who gave me those two poems? After all, they have solved my urgent need.”
“Qiao Qiao” Qiao Jinwen made up her mind to take two steps forward and grab Qiao Yunxi’s hand. “Third Sister knows that no matter what Third Sister says now, you still believe that Third Sister did it. Third Sister doesn’t explain it meaninglessly. “You know what Third Sister has done to you all these years. Third Sister doesn’t know what other people’s siblings are like, but Third Sister has always known that our sisters in Qiao Family are the most united and our rooms are the most united.”
What righteous words!
Qiao Xi couldn’t help but clap her hands and cheer for Qiao Jinwen.
The atmosphere was not good, and Astragalus membranaceus hurriedly served tea.
Only when the three of them sat under the sycamore tree did Qiao Jinwen breathe a sigh of relief and finally managed to coax Qiao Yunxi back.
“Is Qiao Qiao cured of rubella?”
Seeing Qiao Xi nod her head, Qiao Ningdai said with confidence, “Originally, your third sister and I wanted to visit you a few days ago. Grandmother said that you can’t see the wind, so she said that she was afraid that we would disturb your rest, so she delayed until now. These few days, I’ve been asking the maidservant to ask about your condition. After knowing that you’re fully recovered, your third sister and I feel completely relieved.”
Qiao Yunxi exaggerated, “Thank you Third Sister and Fifth Sister for your concern.”
Without any sincerity, she said it in peace, and the two of them did not feel embarrassed to hear it.
