Chapter 40 Qiu Ju Was Stabbed
Shangguan Ruoli nodded to show that he heard it. His jade hand that was playing the piano carelessly exerted force, and the sound suddenly rose.
Xiao Yunqing was so frightened that she staggered on the threshold and almost fell down. Fortunately, Liu'er had quick eyesight and quick hands to catch her.
Shangguan Ruoli had murderous intent in his heart, and his inner energy involuntarily penetrated his hands. The music played by the piano was also murderous, and the sound captured people's hearts.
Xiao Yunqing and several maids all had fearful expressions on their faces. They were trembling involuntarily and their legs and feet were weak.
"Zheng!" The sound of the piano suddenly stopped. Shangguan Ruoli put his hand on the strings, lowered his eyebrows and asked lightly: "What's the matter?"
Xiao Yunqing felt her ears ringing, so she forced herself to hold on to her limp body and staggered to sit on the chair.
After a while, she regained her composure, put on the air of being the mistress of the house, and said: "When your father comes back, he will discuss the wedding date between you and Xian'er. You will also be Princess Xuan in the future, so you should learn to be a housekeeper."
He signaled Liu'er, who was shivering, to put a box in his hand on the table, "These are the dowry left by your mother. Inside are the dowry list, the shop, and the title deeds of the fields."
Shangguan Ruoli didn't even look at the box and said calmly: "Is mother going to keep the income and interest over the years for herself?"
Xiao Yunluo definitely didn't give her all the dowry. These were definitely the dowries originally intended for her. However, she took her time, she was in no rush.
Xiao Yunqing's face was stern, with murderous intent in his eyes, but he still said in a gentle voice: "It will take a few days to calculate it. After all, it is fifteen years. Mother will have someone bring it to you as soon as it is calculated."
Shangguan Ruoliyun said calmly: "Do you think I'm stupid? The accounts are settled every year and the accounts are collected every month, so why do I need a few days?"
Xiao Yunqing looked at Shangguan Ruoli as if he were a strange enemy. When did this bitch understand this?
He gritted his teeth and said, "The shop and the property are not in the same place. It's a little far away. The steward can't get there in a day or two."
He motioned the four maids to come forward and said: "You are blind and cannot do everything yourself. These maids are all literate, some know how to collect accounts, and some know how to run a business. They will be your assistants. In the future, you will marry
Princess Jinxuan also needs her own people to help her, right?"
So it's waiting here? What's the difference between this and still holding it in her hands?
The original owner knew nothing about these things and was blind. Whether or not she made money and how much she made was not their business. To put it bluntly, it was still all in her hands, but there was just an extra procedure in the middle.
What a good calculation!
"No need, I have my own plan." Shangguan Ruoli looked indifferent and didn't even look at Xiao Yunqing.
Xiao Yunqing looked at her contemptuously and said angrily: "Okay! Don't look for me when you lose everything!"
Shangguan Ruoli said coldly: "Don't make a fuss about those account books and ignore the income. I will ask my father or the prince to ask an experienced accountant to check the accounts."
Xiao Yunqing was struck in her mind, and she stood up suddenly, like an irritated female cat, and mouthed silently: You are seeking death!
He turned around and gave Liu'er, whose face was swollen like a pig's head, a look, and then walked out the door aggressively.
The four maids also followed behind, but Liu'er stayed in the house.
Seeing that the last maid had left the house, Liu'er turned her back to Shangguan Ruoli, took out a small porcelain bottle from her arms, pulled off the lid, poured it on the dessert plate on the table as if no one was around, and walked away Shiran.
If Shangguan Ruoli held his forehead, if they had known that they were not blind, would they have vomited blood and died?
Since they like drugging so much, let them try it themselves.
Shangguan Ruoli waited until dark so she could move, but what made her uneasy was that Qiu Ju didn't come back even at dinner time.
The capital city is not that big, and the houses of the powerful are all gathered together. Prince Xuan's Mansion is only four streets away from the General's Mansion, so it's easy to walk there and still not come back at this point.
Qiu Ju is the only person she still trusts. Xiao Yunqing should be suspicious of her. Could he have done something outside the house?
Suddenly he heard a tense noise in the courtyard. Shangguan Ruoli looked out of the window and saw Bai Qingyan and two detectives carrying a stretcher in. There was a person lying on the stretcher. Look at the clothes, it was Qiu Ju!
The servants of Mei Xiangyuan all ran out to check, with solemn expressions on their faces.
Anger rose in Shangguan Ruoli's heart, but she still had to pretend to be blind. She took a few deep breaths and regained her composure. She walked to the door, held on to the threshold, and asked, "Is it Qiu Ju who's back?"
"Miss... wuwu..." Qiu Ju whimpered weakly.
"Qiu Ju? What happened?" Shangguan Ruoli groped his way out of the room, holding on to the pillar under the eaves and pretending to listen carefully.
Bai Qingyan came over and knew that she couldn't see her, so he still cupped his fists and saluted, saying: "She was beaten on the road and was stabbed in the abdomen."
"Ah?! Who is it? What's going on?" Shangguan Ruoli's face was very ugly, and he was holding on to the pillar and was shaking.
Bai Qingyan said: "Those people are very skilled. They ran away when they saw someone coming. When our officers arrived after receiving the report, this girl was the only one lying there."
"Is the injury serious?" Shangguan Ruoli frowned, with a look of nervousness and fear on his face.
Bai Qingyan looked at her with compassion in his eyes and sighed: "Fortunately, it's not life-threatening. I've already asked the doctor from Huichun Medical Center to treat the wound."
Shangguan Ruoli leaned on the pillar and breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good! Could you please carry her to the wing."
He said to the servant who was whispering in a low voice: "Mother Sun, please take care of Qiu Ju."
"Yes!" Grandma Sun hurriedly came out and led the two officials to Qiu Ju's room.
Shangguan Ruoli said to Bai Qingyan: "Please let Mr. Bai go to the small flower hall to talk over tea."
Bai Qingyan smiled faintly: "Thank you, Miss. This is the inner courtyard. We have already exceeded the rules and will not enter the house. It was Qiu Ju who begged us to send her to Zhilan Xiaozhu."
Shangguan Ruoli understood that Qiu Ju would not survive if she passed through Xiao Yunqing's hands, and asked: "What happened?"
Bai Qingyan said: "According to Qiu Ju's oral account, she was blocked in a remote alleyway by four burly men who wanted to snatch the baggage in her hand. She tried her best to protect her. They beat and kicked her and stabbed the baggage with daggers.
, the baggage was in her abdomen, so she was stabbed as well. She shouted for help, and someone happened to be passing by. A few gangsters probably ran away because they were afraid that people would recognize their appearance. Some kind-hearted people reported it to the police..."
"Where are the things in the bag?" Those people didn't dare to openly kill people in broad daylight. It turned out that it was Python Robe's idea.
Bai Qingyan looked at Shangguan Ruoli worriedly and said: "It was punctured and stained with blood. We didn't dare to deal with it privately. We reported it to Prince Xuan's Mansion, and Eunuch Mo Wen from Prince Xuan's Mansion took it away."
At this moment, Mo Wen turned around the hanging flower door and walked in.
Bai Qingyan looked stern, frowned, and reminded softly: "Mo Wen from King Xuan's side is here!"
The responsibility for damaging the python robe can be large or small. If King Xuan were charged with contempt for the royal family, it would be reasonable to have everyone beheaded!
