Chapter 292 News from the Wen Family
Qin Qixuan was restless, and even Xiao Xixi noticed it. On the fourth day of the Chinese New Year, she was in Qin Qixuan's room and saw him change several sets of clothes. Xixi couldn't help but feel strange.
[Big brother is not a person who pays so much attention to appearance on weekdays. Why is big brother changing so many clothes here! Who is he going to see? ]
Qin Qixuan's expression was very anxious. He was not satisfied with one set after another and wanted to get another set of clothes.
At this time, the second brother happened to come to Qin Qixuan's room to find him.
Because of his understanding of Qin Qixuan, the second brother saw that Qin Qixuan was not right at a glance. He looked at Qin Qixuan's flustered expression and asked with frowns.
"Why do I feel that you are a little uneasy, big brother?"
Xiao Xixi nodded vigorously beside her. She felt the same way.
"Today I am going to pick up Miss Wen to the Qin Mansion."
Qin Qixuan said this with some embarrassment, but his words made Qin Xixi understand everything.
[Oh! So you are going to pick up Sister Wen back to the Qin Mansion. No wonder big brother changed one set of clothes after another. What will Tangjie wear! ]
After knowing everything, Xiao Xixi instantly became motivated. Originally, she only looked at big brother's outfit from time to time, but now she cheered up and commented on each set in detail.
[Oh, the outfit that big brother just changed into is a bit too old-fashioned, like an old pedant! Sister Wen will definitely not like big brother like this. ]
Qin Qixuan heard what Xiao Xixi was thinking and immediately decided to change another set of clothes.
However, before he could change into this set of clothes, he was stopped by the second brother.
"Brother, wait a minute, I have something to tell you."
The second brother wanted to pull Qin Qixuan into the house, making it clear that he didn't want Xiao Xixi to hear it.
Xiao Xixi's eyes lit up immediately when he saw this. He didn't want her to hear about this, which meant it was a big deal! Great, she's finally alive!
These few days during the New Year were a little too comfortable, and Xiao Xixi was a little uncomfortable. Qin Qixuan
was helpless. Even if the second brother wanted to avoid talking to Xiao Xixi, Xixi would know it sooner or later.
"It doesn't matter, just talk here, anyway, Xixi will definitely know it in the future."
The second brother thought so too. Xixi knew the previous news earlier than them! So he didn't care and talked to Qin Qixuan directly.
"Brother, the beggar is dead."
Hearing this, Qin Qixuan's eyes widened unconsciously.
Since the beggar could die quietly in the Qin Mansion, the mastermind behind the scene must be quite powerful.
"What happened? Did the murderer leave any clues?"
The second brother nodded.
"It's the New Year period recently, there are fewer guards there, and the security force is insufficient, so the beggar was killed."
It is common for people to be distracted during the holidays. Qin Qixuan pursed his lips and decided to remind the guards in the mansion in the future.
"But it's not without gain. Although the beggar is dead, the mastermind behind the scene may have been found."
Qin Qixuan knew that the second brother said this, which must be because he found the key evidence.
Sure enough, the second brother took out a token from his pocket and handed it to Qin Qixuan.
The pattern on the token looked familiar. Qin Qixuan frowned, not knowing where this familiar feeling came from.
"This token is most likely dropped from the murderer, but it is not ruled out that the murderer did so in order to conceal his identity."
However, the second brother's intuition told him that as long as the owner of the token was found out, the identity of the murderer could be revealed.
[This is...]
Xiao Xixi suddenly spoke while looking at the token.
She just thought about it for a while, and an angry expression appeared on her face.
Qin Qixuan and the second brother looked at each other, and listened to Xiao Xixi's voice calmly. Could it be that Xiao Xixi recognized this token?
If that's the case, they would save the effort of investigating the token. After all, a token is a somewhat private thing, and it can't be investigated quickly in a short time.
[This is Zhou Fangyu's token! ]
Zhou Fangyu?
For Qin Qixuan, this is a name he hasn't heard of for a long time.
How could it be Zhou Fangyu, haven't they been exiled outside the capital?
Qin Qixuan didn't know that the Zhou siblings returned to the capital using the identities of the An siblings.
"Beggar?"
Xiao Xixi was still a little confused at this time. Although she knew the owner of the token, she didn't know what the brothers were talking about.
[Which beggar? Who died? Why would the beggar's death be related to Zhou Fangyu? ]
Qin Qixuan explained to her.
"That was the beggar that the little grandson and eldest brother interrogated that night. The eldest brother brought the beggar back to the mansion in order to lure the mastermind behind the scenes to reveal his true identity."
"Now the person behind the scenes can't hold back and takes action. This is our only chance to find him."
Little Xixi suddenly remembered that this beggar was the one who embarrassed her mother in the martial arts competition to recruit a bride. Unexpectedly, he was sent by Zhou Fangyu!
Xixi couldn't help but wonder why Zhou Fangyu's token was here? According to her personality, it makes sense to bribe the beggar to cause trouble for the Qin family. But Zhou Fangyu has been abroad all the time. When did he return to the capital?
Qin Xixi suddenly felt a headache.
In an instant, the memory of Zhou Fangyu and Zhou Fangze disguising themselves as the An family siblings flooded into her mind. Only then did she know that Anyueya was Zhou Fangyu. No wonder she had such great malice towards the Qin family!
Qin Xixi was extremely angry. Zhou Fangyu was so vicious that she wanted her mother to marry a beggar!
Moreover, she had carefully selected a beggar who knew martial arts. She was simply too vicious!
The more Xixi thought about it, the angrier she became. She was already thinking about how to make Anyueya like Zhou Fangyu before. Lose all face and never be allowed to set foot in the capital.
For her, the greatest shame is to lose to the same person, and still use the same tricks and methods to get the same ending!
Unexpectedly, before Xixi had time to tell her elder brother the news, a man suddenly came to the mansion on a horse.
The man looked very anxious, and almost rode straight to the Qin Mansion.
"I have something urgent to report, please let me see the head of the Qin family, or the eldest son of Qin!"
The guards at the gate saw that the man was so anxious, afraid that he had something urgent to tell, so they quickly sent someone to call Qin Qixuan and the others out.
"I have something urgent to tell you! I hope the eldest son of Qin will tell the head of the Qin family that there is news of a plague in the palace!"
The man spoke very cautiously, and his voice was not loud. Qin Qixuan's expression changed drastically after hearing it, and he quickly invited the man to enter the mansion first and then explain in detail.
"The plague came from the palace? Is it serious?"
Since ancient times, whenever there is a plague, many people will die. And it will also cause great panic. Qin Qixuan couldn't help but feel depressed.
