The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

The few people in the room, upon hearing this, all showed a more solemn expression.

Of course, they knew about that string of beads. When they first learned that the black market next to the Manor was the property of the Second Prince, it was due to that string of beads.

That string of beads was worn on the wrist of the former steward of the black market.

So, this former steward is now in Qingxuan County and was even bumped into by Wei Qin?

The people suddenly began to understand why Wei Qin encountered such an unexpected disaster. Being involved in the black market incident, it was already a blessing to keep her life.

However, to confirm, Shu Yu still asked, ”The person with the string of beads, does he look rather frail, about this tall, with slender eyes and fairly large ears?”

They had encountered each other once at the black market.

Wei Qin was astonished, how did she know?

”Yes, yes, it’s him, have you met?”

Meng Yunzheng asked in a low voice, ”Where did you see him?”

”In our shop.” Wei Qin immediately said, ”He has a close relationship with our boss’s Young Master.”

Boss’s Young Master? Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng exchanged a glance, so that shop is highly likely a... stronghold of the black market?

”Tell us in detail, when did you see him, what did he say to your boss’s Young Master at the time, and is your injury related to him?”

Meng Yunzheng walked back to the bedside.

Zhao Xi stood by and whispered, ”She needs to rest, otherwise...”

”It’s okay, I can do it.” Wei Qin actually already felt much better, aside from some dizziness, it didn’t affect her talking.

Zhao Xi, seeing her condition was still stable, ultimately did not stop her, as he was also eager to know what exactly happened.

Shu Yu saw her lips were chapped and immediately poured a cup of warm water, fed it to her, and then said softly, ”Take your time, there’s no rush. If you start to feel uncomfortable, we’ll stop and continue after you’ve rested enough.”

Wei Qin glanced at her gratefully, and after drinking the water, she began to speak, ”I first saw him more than two months ago, I thought he was just the Young Master’s guest at the time. That day, the Young Master’s attendant went out to buy something, and I happened to be free, so Miss asked me to bring tea and snacks to the Young Master’s study.”

Wei Qin knew they were discussing something important, and as soon as she entered the study, the two stopped speaking.

She was half-understood about business matters and didn’t intend to listen, so after placing the tea, she was planning to leave.

Unexpectedly, that guest had a bit long sleeves, making it inconvenient to hold the tea, so he pulled his sleeve forward a bit.

With this pull, it exposed the string of beads on his wrist.

At that moment, Wei Qin froze for a second, but Miss was calling her from outside, so she didn’t have time to think deeply and hurried out.

Thus, her demeanor and actions did not arouse the guest’s suspicion.

However, after she came out, the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and her fingers couldn’t stop trembling.

She was absolutely not mistaken, she had seen that string of beads before, it was the same as the beads Dazhuang used to carry.

Wei Qin knew all too well the significance of those beads on Dazhuang, they were left by the murderer who slaughtered the Song Family. Now seeing an identical string of beads on someone, does that mean... this person is related to that murderer from back then?

Wei Qin didn’t want to speculate like this, she was hoping both that it was and wasn’t true in her heart.

Of course, it would be great to find the murderer, but if this person truly was the murderer of the Song Family, what could she, a person trapped in such dire circumstances herself, do to him?

She feared that before she even reported him to the authorities, her own life would be at risk.
