Chapter 304 If you say so, then it is.
"Little sister, it's very simple to find out who the murderer is."
Xiao Qi beckoned Lin Yuesha closer and whispered a few words in her ear.
Lin Yuesha's eyes lit up, and she gave Xiao Qi a thumbs up. Don't let her honest and kind appearance fool you, her older brother is a smart man.
That's true. If someone is stupid, they wouldn't be so talented and praised by their teachers.
Xiao Qi secretly wiped a bead of sweat from his brow. He had only offered advice because he didn't want the case to delay his important business. Seeing that his younger sister didn't suspect anything and his persona hadn't crumbled, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Yuesha found the official and repeated her stepbrother's words, which the official then reported to Prefect Bai.
"My lord, I have just remembered something."
Following Xiao Qi's suggestion, Doctor Qin cried out twice, clutching his buttocks.
He was beaten twenty times outside, and his buttocks swelled up so badly that he couldn't stand steadily and had to be supported by others.
"explain."
Bai Zhi stroked his beard and said seriously.
“My son holds grudges. He once mentioned that he kept a notebook to record the people he had conflicts with.”
Qin Langzhong groaned and mumbled, doubting whether this method would actually work, but he dared not offend Prefect Bai, so he could only cooperate and say, "With the notebook, I believe we can find the murderer."
Poisoning someone's food to their death—the murderer and the man with the beady eyes are no ordinary enemies.
Lin Yuesha agreed with this point. Poisoning Changqing Academy was clearly a risky act, especially since the case involved Bai Dingfeng, the son of the prefect.
"Dr. Qin, you really know how to speak fluently."
Once the clues are drawn, we can wait for the murderer to take the bait and then trap them like a turtle in a jar.
Prefect Bai pretended not to take Doctor Qin's words to heart, adjourned the court, and scheduled another hearing for another day.
All the students at Changqing Academy were suspects, so they had to return to the academy to wait for news. Lin Yuesha sighed. If she didn't send food to her elder brother, she would be out of a job.
"Little sister, the culprit behind Qin Shusheng's death is the murderer, not you."
Xiao Qi was worried that his younger sister might be overthinking things, so he made a point of comforting her before leaving.
Lin Yuesha was embarrassed. Her stepbrother was too kind. Which eye of his saw her blaming herself for the death of the beady-eyed girl? What did that have to do with her?
What upset her was that not only was the food she had given to her stepbrother was ruined, but she was also unlucky enough to be involved in a murder case for no reason.
As for her beady eyes, she didn't care whether they lived or died.
Human nature is treacherous, but Xiao Qi always thinks of people in a positive light, no matter how many times he is hurt.
Lin Yuesha took a deep breath. It seemed that until she found her powerful sister-in-law, she had no choice but to step forward and protect her stepbrother to prevent him from being tricked.
Back home, Lin Yuesha washed up and lay on the bed, too lazy to move. She opened the red silk purse and examined the jade pendant that the pockmarked man had given her by the light of the oil lamp.
In court, it was thanks to Xiao Qi's reminder that she was able to tell the truth and implicate the pockmarked man.
The jade pendant was cool and smooth. Lin Yuesha pressed it against her face, feeling as if she were intimately touching the pockmarked face, which made her blush.
Sure enough, she likes pockmarked faces.
Qingxing, standing to the side, noticed her young mistress's little actions, her eyelids twitched, and she exchanged a glance with Qi'er.
Qi'er stuck out her tongue. The master had assigned tasks to the two of them, and it was time to urge them on.
“Miss, today when I went out, I saw a peddler from the south and bought a lot of embroidery thread from the south.”
The embroidery thread from the south is more accurate in color than that from the north; even the same color can be distinguished into at least several different shades.
Qi'er opened a small package and pushed it in front of Lin Yuesha.
"That's good."
Lin Yuesha glanced at it twice and casually replied, "Are you looking to embroider a sachet?"
"Yes, some purses and handkerchiefs also need to be embroidered."
Qi'er realized that Lin Yuesha wasn't taking the bait, so she had to say directly, "There's only about a month left until the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. I'd like to embroider a few more sachets and fill them with herbs to repel mosquitoes."
Now that things have been said to this extent, our young lady should understand, right?
"Then embroider a few more and hang them on the bed curtains."
Lin Yuesha turned over, and only then did she realize that the fifth day of the fifth lunar month was her stepbrother's birthday.
Oh right, she was chatting with the pockmarked-faced girl this afternoon and they were talking about the gift for her stepbrother. But she almost forgot about it because of the green-eyed girl's interruption!
Since it would be inconvenient to make shoes and socks for men when they entered the girls' school on the first day of April, Lin Yuesha had to rush to make them in advance.
Yes, making shoes and socks!
"Qingxing, go find Baicha and ask her to get some fine cotton cloth from my little storeroom. I need to make a few pairs of socks for my older brother!"
Lin Yuesha sprang up from the bed and sat up, ready to get out.
Seeing this, Qi'er exchanged glances with Qingxing, urging her to complete the task.
It has to be said, the master is really fussy. It's just socks, you can just buy them casually, but he has to make a fuss over the young ladies. Not only that, he also specifically instructed the two of them to find a way to secretly remind them.
Being maids was so tough for the two of them!
After Lin Yuesha gave the order, Qingxing acted quickly and soon brought the fabric.
Lin Yuesha went to her stepbrother's room, found his shoes, measured their size, and then found a large pair of scissors to cut them.
Making socks is relatively simple, all thanks to Hong Liu. Without her hard work during her time at the temporary residence of the Prince of Zhenbei, Lin Yuesha wouldn't even be able to hold a needle and thread properly.
"Miss, should the stockings be embroidered as well?"
Qi'er pushed the embroidery thread over and asked.
Even though the socks are hidden inside, it would be nice to have some flirty patterns embroidered on them.
Since their lord was always so cold, they wanted to know what his expression would be when he saw socks with provocative patterns, and whether he would wear them or not.
"pattern?"
Lin Yuesha rubbed her chin. Her stepbrother preferred simplicity, and everything in the house was kept neat and orderly. He probably didn't like complicated patterns.
