After a house full of cannon fodder read my voice, the whole family went crazy.

Qiao Jingchen looked at the man who was still struggling. Although his eyes were panicked, they were not cloudy.

Apart from things other than emotions, he was very keen on judging people, and he had an intuition that the person was not a rat who was either raping or stealing.

Look at the people gathered at the entrance of the thatched cottage, everyone is waiting to watch the excitement.

He patted Lin Yue'er's hand and comforted him: "Yue'er, don't worry, there might be some misunderstanding. Let's go in first and talk clearly."

Then he said to the man: "Do you want to speak clearly to us in private, or do you want to go to the government?"

Seeing that things were turning around, the man kept saying, "I won't go to the government, I won't go to the government!"

Qiao Jingchen ordered people to disperse the spectators and let the doctors and patients return to their respective places. Then he took Lin Yue'er and the man to the room behind the thatched cottage where the doctors and medicine boys rested.

"Tell me, where did your jade pendant come from?"

As soon as Qiao Jingchen opened her mouth, the man rushed to tell the difference for him.

"Sir, this jade pendant is really a small family heirloom, not stolen!"

"You are still being stubborn! Husband, don't say anything more to him, just send him to see the official!"

Lin Yue'er was furious and wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Qiao Jingchen.

"Yue'er, don't worry, you believe I have my own sense of discretion."

He looked at the man and said with a smile: "You and I both know whether this thing is yours or not. If you tell the truth, I can buy the jade pendant back with money. But..."

Qiao Jingchen changed the topic and her eyes became cold.

"If you continue to be stubborn, I don't mind sending you to see an official now. Not only will you lose your money and money, but you will also have to spend a while in jail. It's your choice."

The man was already very worried. After hearing this, he knelt down with a bang and begged for mercy: "I say, I say! Master, I say everything!"

It turned out that the man was poor and had some problems.

He really had no money for medical treatment, so he came up with the idea of ​​mass graves outside the city.

Although there are often corpses wrapped in straw mats and rags left there, many of them poor people, there are also often people who have been "disposed of" by wealthy families.

Whether it's the beads and flowers on your body or the silk and satin you're wearing, you can exchange them for some money to spend.

But he didn't expect that this jade pendant would be found from a person.

"Speaking of which, that person's attire and appearance are somewhat similar to this lady."

The man's final words angered Lin Yue'er again.

"What did you say? A dead person looks like me? Are you cursing me!"

The man waved his hands repeatedly and said he didn't dare.

Qiao Jingchen had been observing carefully and thought that the man was indeed not lying.

Dangzhi directly took out a banknote and handed it to the man: "Okay, take the money and leave quickly. Don't pick up random things again."

"Husband, why did you really give him money? This jade pendant was originally mine. Moreover, he cursed me..."

Lin Yue'er held the recovered jade pendant, but she still felt very uncomfortable.

She looked at the man's leaving figure and felt extremely unlucky.

"Okay, madam, that man is also poor and can't live anymore, so he went to the graves. I don't think he has any enmity against you, and he doesn't have any bad intentions, just to curse you."

Qiao Jingchen persuaded her softly, and Lin Yue'er's mood gradually improved.

"Husband, while you were in court, didn't you hear any news about my sister?"

Lin Yue'er's words made Qiao Wanshu prick up her ears immediately.

【Lin Tinger? Isn't she the beloved concubine of Uncle Guo? The nine clans of the Queen's family have all been executed. As a beloved concubine, she has naturally been executed long ago. What else is she looking for? 】

Qiao Jingchen glanced at Qiao Wanshu from the corner of her eyes and heard Lin Yue'er say: "This jade pendant was originally passed on to me by my father, but Lin Ting'er stole it before she left home to marry into her uncle's house.

I originally thought I had lost it accidentally, but who knew that at a flower viewing party, I saw this jade pendant hanging on her waist. Only then did I know that she had stolen it!

When I asked her for it, she relied on her uncle Guo's favor and said that I was really slandering her, because it was obviously a dowry given to her by her father himself. Later, I asked her many times, but to no avail.

I never expected that it would come back to me with such a result. "

When Qiao Wanshu heard this, her heart moved, why did Lin Yue'er feel uncomfortable.

I'm afraid it was the man who said that the jade pendant was found on a dead man, and that dead man looked somewhat similar to her.

Coupled with Lin Ting'er's sudden disappearance, Lin Yue'er had an ominous premonition.

But even if Lin Ting'er didn't die in a mass grave, her head would fall to the ground outside the Meridian Gate. She would not be able to escape the fate of a tragic death.

However, doesn’t Lin Yue’er hate Lin Ting’er?

Lin Yushi once said that Lin Ting'er had nothing to do with the Lin family and had been kicked out of the family long ago.

But now it seems that Lin Yue'er still cares about her half-sister and is not as indifferent as she seems to the outside world.

Not long after, Mr. Lin actually arrived.

He said to Lin Yue'er: "Yue'er, you take Shu'er to stay here for a while. Jingchen and I will go out for a while."

Qiao Wanshu subconsciously thought: [Could they have thought of something, so they went to the graveyard to check it out? 】

[If this is the case, then I really have to hide it from my sister-in-law for the time being. 】

Lin Yue'er was shocked and suddenly bit her lip.

"Grandpa, I'd better take Shu'er for a walk. Let's see what's delicious and fun, and make her happy."

Mr. Lin did not doubt his presence, but told the two of them to be careful and asked Lin Yue'er to take good care of Qiao Wanshu, and then left.

Qiao Jingchen, on the other hand, looked at Lin Yue'er with some worry, stood there hesitant to speak, hesitated for a moment, and finally turned around and left.

Lin Yuer quickly took Qiao Wanshu out of the door.

The thatched cottage has a good foundation, and the shop you want to visit is on this street.

Lin Yue'er also wanted to relax, so she didn't choose to take a carriage, but walked with Qiao Wanshu in her arms.

"Shu'er, you know. In fact, when Lin Ting'er was very young, she was a very cute child. She would chase after me and call her sister, sister, sister all the time.

But her mother hated herself so much for not having a son, so she blamed Lin Ting'er for her still not being favored by her father.

That's why her character later became more and more twisted, imitating her mother's greed for money and calculation. "

Lin Yue'er was completely immersed in her own thoughts, telling the past events of her childhood.

Suddenly, a carriage flashed around the corner, and the horse almost kicked Lin Ting'er.

Fortunately, Sangzhi who was following behind pulled him in time.

Instead of apologizing, the coachman started yelling and swearing.

Qiao Wanshu suddenly saw the car window move, and then a piercing scream came from the carriage.
