Chapter 2334 Wei Qin was murdered to silence her.
However, despite her thoughts, Wei Qin couldn't suppress her desire to know the truth.
After the guest left, she subtly inquired with the mistress of the house about who the guest was.
But the young lady of the house didn't recognize him at all, only saying that he might be her older brother's friend.
Wei Qin dared not ask any further questions. If the young master's friend was a murderer, then what kind of person was the young master himself?
Fortunately, she never saw the guest again after that day, and the matter seemed to have passed.
Until a few days ago, that guest came again.
Wei Qin didn't want to focus her attention on him, but she couldn't control herself.
She even did something that almost cost her her life—she went to eavesdrop.
She wanted to know what the two were plotting. This was the closest she had ever come to the truth about the Song family massacre. If she missed it, she might never have another chance to find out who the real culprit was.
"What did you hear?" Meng Yunzheng asked.
Wei Qin smiled bitterly, "They spoke very softly, and at first I couldn't hear them at all. The less I could hear, the closer I got. I don't know what they said, but the guest suddenly said angrily, 'They've been here for two days and just wandered around the county town. When are they going to see that guy surnamed Qi?' That was all they said, and they got nothing else."
Meng Yunzheng, Shu Yu, and Zhao Xi were speechless.
Could the phrase "they were strolling around the county town" refer to them?
So the reason why the guests would come to Wei Qin's employer's young master again after two months was because they came but did not make contact with Qi Lie.
"And then what happened?"
Wei Qin said, "They said that suddenly, and I was startled. I accidentally bumped my hand on the window frame. It seemed like they heard it inside, so I ran away as fast as I could. The young master of the house opened the door to look, and I thought that because I ran so fast, he probably didn't see me, but who knew..."
Who knew that the young master of the house didn't say anything or make any noise during the day.
But at night, the young master of the house suddenly entered her room silently, covered her mouth, and tried to kill her to silence her.
If Wei Qin hadn't suffered a lot in the wealthy family a few years ago and developed a bad habit of sleeping poorly, she might have really died there.
It was during the deepest part of sleep, and the young master of the house thought she was fast asleep, but little did he know that Wei Qin was already half asleep and half awake.
Therefore, as soon as her mouth was covered, she suddenly woke up with a start.
When the young master of the house tried to slit her throat with his knife, she immediately struggled.
The young master of the house seemed not to have expected that she was awake. His first attack missed, and Wei Qin's hands were already across her neck. It was impossible to slit her neck, so he immediately stabbed her in the abdomen.
Wei Qin couldn't dodge this time and was stabbed directly.
But the stab wasn't fatal; she raised her hand and knocked over a bronze incense burner in the room.
The bronze incense burner clattered to the ground, and just then, the young lady of the house called out from the doorway, "Song Juanmei, what are you up to? Stealing in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
The sound was coming from outside; there was even a faint sound coming from the door, as if someone was about to push it open.
The young master of the house was startled, fearing that she would come in. Without saying a word, he stabbed Wei Qin again, then jumped out of the window he had come from and went around to the front door to stop the young lady of the house from pushing the door open.
"Little sister, why aren't you asleep in the middle of the night? What are you doing here?"
