Chapter 172: The Huang Clan
Chapter 172
Zhao Ben did things neatly, and gave Cui Ning a reply in less than two hours.
Mrs. Yu's maiden surname is Huang, not in Chang'an, but a scholarly family in Jiangnan Province, because the ancestors are still there, or a large family of people live together, the family is a family of six jinshi, father, uncle and brother are all talented and full of learning, have not served in official positions, but have a good reputation in the field, among which Huang's uncle is a big Confucian, peach and plum all over the world.
The Huang family is a clear stream of reputation, and Yu Shangshu took a lot of effort to marry the Huang family to fill the house.
Huang also had some talents when she was in Jiangnan Province, and her temperament was as gentle as water, and she was stepped on the threshold when she was to get married, and finally she chose to marry Yu Shangshu, which shocked many talents in Jiangnan Province for a while.
Yu Shangshu's identity is naturally more than enough for the Huang family, but the age gap between the two is a bit big, and the marriage is still a house-filling, which is really not a good marriage for the Huang family, who cherishes their reputation.
It is said that Mrs. Yu is the most favored by her parents in her mother's family, and the Huang family originally did not agree to this marriage, but because Mrs. Yu insisted, they compromised. Zhao Ben said.
Cui Ning nodded, "It's hard work Zhao catches the head." β
"It's a matter of subordination. Zhao Ben paused slightly, and then asked, "My lord, where should we check next?"
Cui Ning had long seen that Zhao Zhutou did not believe that she understood the prison, and she was indeed in charge of the case for the first time, and there were many things she didn't understand, so she wouldn't take everything on herself, "Zhao Zhutou is more experienced than me, let go of the check, I won't interfere, but if you have any problems or progress, you must tell me, after all, this is Shangshu Mansion." There must be no mistakes. β
Cui Ning has been in the Supervision Department for a long time, and when she speaks to her colleagues, she is a little tactful, although the meaning is still so direct, but it makes Zhao Ben listen very comfortably.
Zhao Ben went to find out the details, and Cui Ning went to the inner courtyard to see Mrs. Yu talking.
At the hairpin banquet that day, Cui Ning only saw Mrs. Yu, and then gathered with the little ladies and did not say a few words to her. At that time, Cui Ning was only gentle and generous to Mrs. Yu, but today when she looked at her appearance and response, she realized that she was such a fragile woman.
When Cui Ning arrived at the main courtyard of Yu Mansion. The yard was full of gloomy clouds and misty. When the maids beside Mrs. Yu came to greet her, they spoke a little tired, "Master Cui, Madame's body is not very good, and she can't greet her in person." Thank you for your understanding. β
"No problem. Cui Ning followed her in. A strong smell of medicine came to my nose. It's uncomfortable.
She got used to it a little and said, "Mrs. Yu is fine, right?"
The healer's words are over-frightened. The maid replied.
Mrs. Yu heard Cui Ning's voice. ordered someone to help himself up, and the whole person leaned on the edge of the couch and cried silently, "Master Cui will definitely find out the murderer and avenge Ru......niang! It was so miserable. β
The crying was sincere, and Cui Ning could hear that she really loved Yu Zhiru, not a lie.
"That's for sure. Cui Ning saw that she was heartbroken, and she didn't have time to sit down for a while, so she sat down on the embroidered pier in front of the couch, "The lower official can understand the grief of the lady, but if you want to find the murderer, please ask the lady to answer a few questions seriously." β
Mrs. Yu's voice urned, and she pressed a handkerchief to the corner of her eyes, "Okay." β
"What is the usual personality of Second Lady Yu?" Cui Ning planned to start with some daily questions to give Mrs. Yu a buffer process.
Mrs. Yu took a deep breath and said, "Ying Niang and Xin Niang have a calm temperament, but Ru Niang is very lively, she smiles when she sees people, and the three sisters in the family belong to her and will please people, it is impossible for such a child to offend people!"
Cui Ning didn't comment on this, what about the time when her teeth bit her tongue, not to mention between people? No matter how good a person is, he may not have conflicts with people, "Recently, does the house plan to say goodbye to Yu Erniang?"
After asking this sentence, Cui Ning obviously felt that the room was quiet for a while, and then Mrs. Yu said, "My husband values a descendant very much, and wants to give Ru'er to him, but I have already passed the letter in private." β
"Yu Sanniang is unwilling?" Cui Ning remembered that Mrs. Yu said before that Yu Zhiru had taken a fancy to Wei Qian, so what was her opinion on Yu Shangshu's optimistic family?
Mrs. Yu said, "She made a fuss, and was later reprimanded by her father, and finally agreed." β
"Which Lang Jun is it?"
"Do you suspect that Lang Jun did it?" Mrs. Yu's eyes widened.
Cui Ning saw her little daughter's innocence and ignorance from this expression, and couldn't help but be surprised, "I just asked routinely, and no one was suspicious before the matter was clarified." β
Mrs. Yu said, "That Lang Jun was born in the Yin family of Pingyuan, and he is the protΓ©gΓ© of his husband's classmate. β
"Plains Yin Clan?" Cui Ning has memorized the clan genealogy, and naturally understands that this Plains Yin clan is not an ordinary family, although it has been in decline for many years, but that nobility is still there, not to mention, the Plains Yin clan has its own way of making money, and there are fewer and fewer officials in the clan, but it has always been the rich party, "Is Yin Langjun a side branch of the Yin family?" or ......?"
Mrs. Yu replied, "It's not a side branch, he is the eldest son of the Yin family." β
Cui Ning was even more surprised, looking at Mrs. Yu's expression, she didn't seem to think there was anything wrong at all, "It is said that the Yin family's big house does not have an eldest son, but the eldest son is raised under the knees of the eldest lady. Could it be that this is the one you're talking about?"
Cui Ning didn't know much about the Yin family, but it was enough to know this.
Mrs. Yu nodded.
"Please forgive me for being blunt, did the Yin family really promise to marry the concubine of the house?" Cui Ning didn't believe it.
This Yin Langjun is more than enough even if he is matched with Yu Ying, and the Yin family has fallen so much that he wants to marry a concubine and go home to be a wife?
Mrs. Yu's body trembled slightly, and she lowered her eyes and said, "I don't know, this matter was decided by the husband." β
Cui Ning continued, "Can I understand that Yu Shangshu prefers the second lady?"
"Ru'er's child is likable, don't say it's a husband, I like it too. Mrs. Yu said, tears falling again.
Cui Ning was simply cried by this Mrs. Yu, "I don't know which aunt the second lady Yu is from?"
Mrs. Yu just cried, and the maid next to her saw that her master couldn't answer for a while, so she hurriedly said, "It's Aunt Sun." β
"Take me to her. Cui Ning felt that she couldn't ask anything from Mrs. Yu.
"This ......" The maid looked at Mrs. Yu and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Cui Ning said goodbye to Mrs. Yu, and by the way, she gave the maid a color and asked her to come out.
When the maid followed Cui Ning to the courtyard, he whispered, "My lord, our Lang Jun is at Aunt Sun's, the slave is afraid that she will make Mrs. sad if she says it, please forgive me." (To be continued......)
