Chapter 324 Interrogating Qing'er



The western side room of the main house of Haitangju is arranged as a study, which is simply furnished and neat and tidy.

It was still early in the morning, and thin sunlight filtered in through the window, outlining the slender and soft figure of the girl sitting by the window.

When Qing'er walked in, this was the beautiful scene she saw.

But in her eyes, the slender and beautiful girl was like the snow on the mountains and the ice on the lake. Although she was beautiful, she made her feel uneasy for no reason.

Qing'er was brought in front of Jiang Si, and Ah Man shouted, "Girl, someone is coming."

Jiang Si nodded slightly, signaling Ah Man to leave.

Ah Man retreated to the door and stood there.

Qing Er bowed to Jiang Si under inexplicable pressure and said, "I have seen you, young lady."

Jiang Si held his chin and looked at Qing'er.

Really like.

People said that she looked very much like Saint Asan, but she had never seen Asan. She had only seen the portrait hidden in Yu Qi's study, so the feeling she had was far less intense than it was now.

Qing'er and Yu'er are really like two peas in a pod. Perhaps the only difference is their temperaments.

Jiang Si thought of Yu'er in the civilian house. Although she was wearing a muslin skirt, she still revealed a bit of coquettishness when she walked. However, Qing'er in front of him behaved like an ordinary maid.

Since Jiang Si didn't say anything, Qing'er didn't dare to move. Soon she felt her legs go weak and sweat started to form on the tip of her nose.

There was a charcoal fire in the study, which was separated from the cold outside by a wall and a window, but it became two different worlds.

In this silence, Jiang Si finally spoke: "Should I call you Qing'er or Yu'er?"

Qing'er, who was nervous but still calm, suddenly raised her head and looked at Jiang Si in surprise.

Jiang Si smiled slightly: "I'll still call you Qing'er. I think people can be changed, but a name doesn't need to be changed. Don't you think so?"

The color drained away from Qing'er's face almost instantly, and her whole body began to tremble.

Jiang leaned lazily on the back of the chair, his hands, as white as jade, placed on the table, tapping on the table from time to time, making a regular "dong dong" sound.

Every time the sound was heard, Qing'er's heart tightened a little.

"Tell me, now that Zhu Ziyu has found you sisters, what are you going to do with my eldest sister?" Having put enough pressure on her, Jiang Si asked casually.

Qing Er subconsciously took a half step back and shook her head repeatedly to deny: "I don't know what the young lady said..."

Jiang Si smiled.

The girl's smile was very gentle, and as clean as if it had been washed by spring water, but that spring was icy.

The girl's eyes were colder than her laughter, like a pond of thick ice, which could freeze you to death just by looking at you.

"Come here." Jiang Si waved to Qing'er who was retreating continuously.

Her hands were soft, like swaying water plants, making people feel frightened but unable to hide, and could only be held tightly.

Qing'er stood in front of Jiang Si tremblingly.

Jiang Si smiled and said, "Qing'er, since I can call out Yu'er's name, you don't think I don't know where she is, right?"

Qing'er stared at Jiang Si, with a mixture of surprise, fear and other emotions flashing through her eyes.

Jiang Si stared at Qing Er with a cold smile on his lips: "I will kill her!"

Qing'er shuddered suddenly.

That smile turned into a gorgeous and charming flower: "Since you sisters were originally planning to share the same identity in public, I will oblige you. If your answer does not satisfy me, I promise that I will kill her."

At this point, the gentle and cold voice paused slightly, making people feel even colder: "I will also cut off her head and let you see what a face that looks exactly like yours looks like with its eyes closed -"

"Stop talking!" Qing'er finally broke down and screamed while covering her ears.

The gatekeeper poked his head into the house and curled his lips.

This is really scary. What a loser.

To be honest, it was she, the maid, who did her job well. What did she say when she saw the girl killing people and setting fires?

I just hate that the girl never brings her along recently!

Jiang Si stopped talking and just watched Qing'er's reaction quietly.

After a long while, Qing'er put down her hand. Fear remained on her snow-white face, and her eyes were dim, with a look of resignation.

"I said..." As soon as she opened her mouth, tears fell.

Jiang Si knocked on the table and said impatiently: "If crying is useful, why would I kill people?"

Qing'er stopped crying and lowered her head, saying, "Yu'er is my twin sister. Our parents passed away one after another on the way to Beijing, leaving only my brother and my sisters to depend on each other. In order to survive, my brother sold my sister to a brothel, but who knew that my brother became addicted to gambling before long, and not only did he lose all the money he earned from selling his sister, he also owed a lot of debts..."

The following story is almost the same as that of all people addicted to gambling. After losing all his money and getting into debt, Qing'er's brother set his sights on his sisters.

First, he frequently went to Yanchun class to ask Yu'er for money. After squeezing Yu'er dry, he prepared to sell Qing'er to pay off his gambling debts.

"I was unwilling to be sold into a brothel, so I ran to the street, and that's when Master Zhu showed up. He gave my brother some money, told him not to sell me, and left. I knew my brother too well. He would definitely target me after he spent all the money Master Zhu gave him. I had planned to find a chance to sneak away, but my brother threatened me that if I didn't behave myself and dared to run away, he would kill my sister. I had no choice but to accept my fate and wait for the day when I would end up in a brothel like my sister. Who knew..."

Qing Er glanced at Jiang Si timidly, and then continued, "Mr. Zhu actually found me secretly again and asked me to act out such a play. He promised me that after the matter was accomplished, not only would I be able to live a stable life, but he would also redeem my sister..."

The temptation is indeed great.

Jiang Si curled his lips and asked again: "Then how does he want you to harm my elder sister?"

Qing'er bit her lip. She knew she couldn't get away with it under the other person's clear gaze, so she confessed honestly, "Mr. Zhu asked me to work hard to gain the trust of the grandmother. When the time is right, I will let my sister sneak into the mansion and pretend to be me. I will use the excuse of being a message from Mr. Zhu to coax the grandmother out. By then, there will be another man waiting for her there—"

A sound interrupted Qing'er's words. It was Jiang Si who broke the pen in his hand.

"Go on." Jiang Si threw the broken pen aside and took another pen from the pen holder.

"I will go to the kitchen or any place where many people can prove my presence. After my sister leads Grandma there, I will leave the Zhu Mansion. When Grandma's affair with the man arranged by Mr. Zhu is discovered, she will say that she was called there by my sister, and everyone will think she is lying..."

Jiang Si waved his hand, indicating Qing'er that she didn't need to continue.

Qing'er stopped talking and looked at Jiang Si anxiously.

She didn't know how this scary ginger girl would deal with her.

Jiang Si pointed at the papers on the desk and said, "Come on, sign your name here."
