Chapter 286: Rumors Spread

Min's funeral was carried out in an orderly manner under the auspices of the eldest daughter-in-law Yan, and there was no need for Wang's help at all, the only thing that gave Yan a headache was that there was always an uninteresting long-tongued woman who secretly inquired about the cause of death of her mother-in-law Min during the mourning. After all, the Min family went too suddenly, there was no sign at all, and her death belonged to the family scandal and could not be publicized, so the Yue Guo Mansion announced that the Min family was dying of a sudden illness, but this statement deceived the three-year-old child at most, and those who have a little brain know that there must be something greasy in this!

It's just that most people are either embarrassed or afraid of Wang Jin's power, and they pretend to be confused, but it is inevitable that a few ignorant and fearless people will uphold the spirit of inquiring to the end and persistently pursue the cause of Min's death.

But no matter how these people inquired, there was only one answer from the top to the bottom of the Yue Guo Mansion, "Mrs. is sick urgently." ”

The more secretive it is, the more it arouses people's curiosity.

As a result, after Min's funeral, various rumors about the cause of her death were rampant.

Li Shuning sorted it out, and it can be roughly divided into revenge theory, favor theory, domestic violence theory and abandoned son theory.

The theory of revenge was mainly spread among the courtiers, saying that Wang Jin was used to being a double agent, and when the king of Wei was plotting rebellion, he openly stood with the king of Wei, and turned around and sold the king of Wei in front of the first emperor! The same is true when the puppet emperor was in power. This time, I don't know which one holds a grudge and settles accounts with him, Wang Jin's fate did not die, but Mrs. Wang was unlucky to become a substitute for the dead.

The competition for favor is popular among the seven aunts and eight aunts, mainly around the women in Wang Jin's inner house, in a word, Mrs. Wang's competition for favor failed, and Lord Wang favored his concubine and killed his wife.

The domestic violence theory is similar to the competition for favor, the biggest difference is whether Wang Jin is the mastermind or an accomplice, and those who are keen on this version are mainly those scum who look at the daughter-in-law in the family and have the intention to change one.

These three versions are pure nonsense, Li Shuning admired the ability of these people to spread nonsense, and fiercely sympathized with his uncle Wang Jinyi, his wife had just died, and the sadness had not passed, and the image of a virtuous minister and a famous man who had been pretending to be for decades was broken because of a few rumors, and even the good reputation of the Wang family was implicated, and I don't know if he would count this account on his cousin Wang Wenshao?

was the last abandoned son, which made Li Shuning feel very strange. Because this version is actually five points true! It is rumored that Wang Wenshao, the seventh son of Wang, was convicted of following the puppet emperor, and then abandoned the secret and returned home to seek refuge, Wang Jin specially came to the door to ask for refuge in order to protect his young son, but Li Jiayi, who was a junior, bullied others, and forced Wang Jin to dispose of Wang Wenshao, otherwise he would have to connect with the Wang family, Wang Jin was forced to be helpless, and he could only sacrifice his youngest son in order to protect the clan, and his wife Min was reluctant to take the young son, so he committed suicide by replacing him!

"My cousin sneaked into Chang'an City secretly, and not many people know about it, that is, the people from the Yue Guo Mansion and our house, plus the reason for my uncle's death is very few people know, this rumor is true or false, and the spearhead is directly aimed at her brother, and even provokes the relationship between the Anguo Mansion and the Yue Guo Mansion, I don't know if it's a coincidence or don't care? In any case, the source of this rumor should be investigated!" It's just that Li Shuning is a little embarrassed, and she is still good at handling military affairs, but she really hasn't done this kind of brain-consuming thing like investigating a case. But the sister-in-law is now unconscious, the mother is unreliable, the third brother is still in Yanmenguan, and the only one who can share the worries of the second brother in the family is himself.

"Mama, you see ......" Li Shuning asked Mama Lin for advice: "Where should this matter be investigated?"

Although Mama Lin is not Mama Su, she has a group of secret agents under her, but rumors have long been used to this kind of trick, and she has her own way to deal with it. I can't wait for Li Shuning to inquire, so as to show his ability.

However, she was not in a hurry to answer, but frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "Third Miss, the old slave thinks that this matter should be investigated from the lady's courtyard first. ”

Li Shuning didn't quite understand, "Why?"

Mama Lin confidently analyzed: "According to what Miss Fang Caisan said, there are very few people who know the cause of the death of the in-laws' wife, either from the Yue Guo Mansion or from our house, but the Yue Guo Gong came to the door to ask for guilt...... Miss San thinks who is more likely to leak out?"

Li Shuning pondered for a moment before suddenly realized: "Mama means that the people around my mother should be sorted out!" Without waiting for Mama Lin to reply, she had already said to herself: "Yes, my uncle went directly to my mother's yard, according to the rules, foreign men are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard, so he entered Jufangyuan alone, so nine times out of ten, this matter was spread out of our house!" Speaking of this, Li Shuning looked at Mama Lin and said tentatively: "Does Mama have a direction?"

Mama Lin smiled slightly, deliberately betrayed it, and asked, "Miss Yisan's cleverness, why not guess it?"

Li Shuning, like Li Jiazhi, is the most impatient with this way of speaking, "guess what you guess, guess guess", if she had changed to someone else, she would have rolled her eyes a long time ago! But Mama Lin is different, first, she is the person her sister-in-law gave herself, and even if she looks at her sister-in-law's face, she also has to respect it! Second, Mama Lin is well-informed and is a good helper in managing the inner house, and she has many places to rely on her. Therefore, he didn't dare to be contemptuous, so he could only guess patiently: "I remember that the only people who were waiting in the house at that time were the two big maids beside my mother, Caifeng and Lingxi, and Mama Qi, and there were two second-class maids guarding the door......" Li Shuning recalled carefully for a moment, "It's the spring silkworm and the blue bird!"

"Mama Qi is unlikely, the four maids of Caifeng, Lingxi, Spring Silkworm, and Blue Bird can focus on checking. Li Shuning guessed and guessed that his train of thought was opened, "They are all maids in the inner courtyard, and they can't go out of the house normally, if they want to get the wind out, someone must answer them!" Thinking of this, Li Shuning couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, "In this way, the people in the house should also be cleaned up!"

"What the third lady said is not unreasonable. Mama Lin didn't want to dampen Li Shuning's enthusiasm, so she had to say euphemistically: "But the old slave thinks that the scope of the investigation doesn't need to be so large, just keep an eye on Aunt Wan." ”

"Aunt Wan?" Li Shuning didn't believe it, "Aunt Wan has been keeping to herself all these years, and she has never dared to cross the thunder pool by half a step, even if she competes with other concubines for favor, how dare she do such a thing?"

"Third Miss, don't underestimate Aunt Wan. Mama Lin sighed silently, Li Shuning has a good brain, but unfortunately she is too young after all, and she has a little less experience, "She entered the house earlier than her wife, and she is a noble concubine, although she is not obvious on weekdays, but she must have her own connections in the house over the years, and you can get a glimpse of it from the time when Mrs. chose the room for the eldest lady." ”
