The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

Chapter 19: Letter from the Makeup Box

Qin Miaoxi walked towards the inner courtyard with familiarity and soon arrived at an exquisite courtyard.

At this time, the Qian family was in chaos and there was no one guarding the yard. She walked in smoothly. This was Miss Qian's boudoir.

Qin Miaoxi walked around the room and finally stopped in front of the dressing table. The makeup box, rouge box and comb on the table all showed the wealth of its owner.

But the lid of the makeup box was not closed tightly. Could it be that someone had touched it during the chaos?

When she opened it, she saw that it was filled with expensive and exquisite ornaments, and it could not be closed because of the interlayer inside the box.

There was a letter hidden in the interlayer of the makeup box with a line of words written on it: The matter has been done, you can send it.

This is a man's handwriting, and it was specially hidden in the interlayer, which shows that this letter is very important and secretive, and Miss Qian is plotting something with someone.

At this time, footsteps were heard outside the door. She hurriedly put the letter away, jumped onto the beam and hid.

After a while, the door was pushed open and two maids walked in.

"The master's family has been killed. What are we going to do in the future?"

"Let's find another way out! Are we going to wait until the Qian family's distant relatives have divided up everything and then sell us out?"

"Oh! Stop talking. I'm going to find the indenture contract right now."

"Don't worry, the indentures are in the hands of the housekeeper. Let's get some jewelry first. We can redeem ourselves when we have money!"

"Yes, there are all the good stuff in the lady's room. When those people come, there will be no share for us."

Soon they started rummaging through the drawers and took out all the gold and silver jewelry, clothes and other items inside and out.

Qin Miaoxi saw them carrying a box out of the closet.

"what?"

"I don't know, but every time the young lady gets a box she chases us away."

"That must be something good, open it quickly."

The two men opened the box and found a short jade stick inside, but they couldn't tell what it was used for.

Qin Miaoxi couldn't help but lower her head to take a look, but one of the maids screamed and threw the short stick away, wiping her hands and shouting bad luck.

Another maid frowned unhappily, picked up the short stick with a look of heartache, and complained, "What are you doing? This jade is obviously worth a lot of silver. What if you break it?"

"Do you know what this is? This is Mr. Jiao." The maid's face turned red with shame, and she looked embarrassed to speak.

When the maid heard this, she hurriedly threw the short stick away. No matter how good the quality of the jade was, it could not stop its use from being shameful, so it was better not to have it.

After this little episode, the two of them packed up what they had found and left in a hurry.

Qin Miaoxi jumped down, glanced at the short stick on the ground and left.

When she returned to the front hall, Lu Qingchen had already infiltrated the Qian family's servants, and seven or eight of them were sitting together eating melon seeds.

"Your master really has no enemies? I heard they died tragically, and the bodies were... Oh! It's scary to think about it now."

The servants were also horrified by what they heard. They rubbed their arms subconsciously and whispered, "No way! The master and the young lady do charity every year, how could they have enemies?"

"Could that be your uncle?"

"That's even more impossible. My son-in-law is polite and kind to his servants. How could he make enemies with others?" He waved to a few people and whispered mysteriously, "But I heard that it was those people inside who killed my family. They did it to steal my property."

Lu Qingchen's eyes rolled and he exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Is it true?"

"Of course it's true, otherwise they would have come right after the master died. They are not from Jingzhao."

"Come on! I heard the murderer is Marquis Xuanping, the young lady's adulterer."

"Ahem!" Lu Qingchen suddenly felt a melon seed stuck in his throat, and his face flushed and his neck thickened as he growled, "Who said that?"

"Everyone says so. The Dali Temple has already arrested someone."

Lu Qingchen was so angry that he was shaking all over. "Rumors, they are just rumors. The young marquis is investigating the case under orders."

How could he not know whether he was an adulterer?

"Really? I haven't heard of the emperor issuing an edict!" The other party looked at him suspiciously, half believing and half doubting.

Lu Qingchen: "..."

"How is the relationship between your young lady and your uncle?"

The sudden voice startled several people, and they asked cautiously: "Who are you?"

"Together, together." Lu Qingchen hurriedly pulled Qin Miaoxi to his side and asked in a low voice: "Where have you been?"

Qin Miaoxi smiled at them and asked softly, "I just heard a maid say that your young lady and her husband have a bad relationship and they even had a fight!"

"Nonsense!"
