Chapter 437: Suspicion
Su Yiqing felt that this was the only reasonable explanation, maybe Dong Guifeng wanted to blackmail her with this secret, hoping to get some benefits, but she ignored it, and drove the rumored Qing Mama back to the Meng family, which was tantamount to suing Mrs. Meng in disguise.
Recently, she is too tired and in bad spirits, she doesn't know that this is inappropriate, but she just doesn't want to care about these things, and she thinks that Dong Guifeng is not a good person, so let them toss it themselves, I really didn't expect that Dong Guifeng would die like that.
According to Mrs. Meng, Dong Guifeng hanged herself, but her death was too much of a coincidence.
Also, Madame Monte came on a special trip to tell her what she meant by this, to test her, to see how much she knew, or to warn her not to be too troublesome?
In this regard, Su Yiqing suddenly felt displeased, the last time Dong Guifeng came to visit, she mentioned Miss Hu Qi's death, which made her dream of Miss Hu Qi for several days, and now Mrs. Meng came again and mentioned Dong Guifeng's death, maybe in the next few days, it should be dreamed of Dong Guifeng.
Su Yiqing is a person who doesn't like to hide her feelings very much, and the qiΔ on her face is easy to show, such a displeasure, in the eyes of Mrs. Meng, she is even more annoyed and angry.
Mrs. Meng regretted a little and was reckless, knowing that this matter was related to this concubine, she really shouldn't have come to the door like that, did she touch other people's hearts now?
Just when Mrs. Meng wanted to say something to make up for it, Su Yiqing spoke, and said in a very cold tone: "I have a relationship with Miss Dong Family, although it is a broken side. But it can still be seen that Miss Dong is not like a person who hangs herself when she is angry. β
Mrs. Meng was even more shocked, she didn't expect Su Yiqing to say her doubts so directly, this sentence sounded more like a temptation in her ears, she said cautiously: "This is also inaccurate, people with strong personalities are more likely to go to extremes in doing things, maybe Miss Dong is just angry, no matter how strong this girl's temperament is, in the face of two mothers-in-law, there are two sisters-in-law above." Life is also very sad. β
This is also the reason why Mrs. Dong tried her best to marry Dong Guifeng in the first place. The Liang family looks like a good family on the surface, but in fact, there are two mothers-in-law and two sisters-in-law. Being a little daughter-in-law is a good thing for some cowardly girls who don't want to take care of things. Don't worry too much. But it's very bad for a strong temperament, so it's a glamorous appearance, but in fact it's not a good family thing. Especially Liang Sangongzi himself is still very uncompetitive, and the whole Adou who can't be supported.
"Really?" Su Yiqing obviously didn't think so, she also knew some about the situation of the Liang family, for a period of time, Mrs. Quan Si often came to the door and told her about some entanglements in various powerful families in Yancheng, many times, people of the same class may not understand each other, but the bottom layer can see more accurately, Mrs. Quan Si eats this bowl of rice, naturally more detailed than anyone knows, some noblewomen are inconvenient to mention the privacy, some decent subordinates know more clearly, and the noblewomen with higher status disdain to deal with their subordinates, and Mrs. Quan Si does not take care of it, so she knows moreγ
Among the magnates in Yancheng, the Liang family is also a typical one, the people are prosperous, the four fathers and sons, except for the third son of Liang who is spoiled a lot and decadent, Master Liang and the other two sons are very capable people, with strong stamina and wide connections, and it is precisely because of this that Mrs. Hu Shilang, who was the original Mrs. Hu Shilang, can be so rampant in the Hu family.
It was Miss Hu who did the wrong thing, but it was Miss Hu San who finally married the Hong family's pervert, which shows how good Mrs. Hu's methods are.
It's just that if you walk too much at night, it's easy to meet ghosts, and you can count this and that all day long, there is always someone who can fight back, and now Mrs. Hu is said to be paralyzed on the bed, not dead or alive, Miss Hu has to wait in front of her, no one helps to handle the marriage, and seeing the eighteen-year-old girl, she will be delayed for life.
Su Yiqing's disapproval looked at Mrs. Meng in the eyes of another understanding, she didn't dare to test it, only vaguely said: "I accompanied your aunt of the Dong family to see Dong Guifeng, it really doesn't look like she was killed, Master Liang said it was also tough, saying that he really wanted to be suspicious, he could ask for an autopsy, and Dong Guifeng's companion room could also testify, Dong Guifeng was in a bad mood at that time, and the maid and wife beside her were also worried, and they didn't dare to leave, and they couldn't fake it. β
"Sometimes killing doesn't have to be done directly. Su Yiqing said lightly,
"Little Blessing...... What are you talking about. Mrs. Meng was holding a cup of tea, wanting to moisten her throat, and when she heard Su Yiqing's words, her hand couldn't help shaking, and a few drops of tea came out.
"Nothing, just kidding. Su Yiqing smiled a little.
Mrs. Meng didn't know how to answer, after all, it was human life, was this the time to joke? She didn't think that Xiaofu was a person who liked to make such jokes, so she could only reluctantly say, "I think Dong Guifeng, a boudoir lady, will not provoke people to kill her." β
"Maybe, but if you want to die alone, it may not be because she offended you. Su Yiqing said this with a pun.
Mrs. Meng only felt a chill spreading on her back, and her face instantly turned a little pale, she remembered what happened before, Meng also wanted to kill her own daughter, and she was used to listening to Meng Ye's orders at that time, so she carried it out...... After that, Xiaofu expressed his feelings, and he didn't seem to mind too much, and what he did in the future seemed to be for the good of the Meng family.
But now that I think about it, how can there be such a broad-minded person, but a smart person knows that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and Meng Xiaofu will not take ten years at all, and it will take more than ten months to lay out, so that the Meng family will fall into a place of no return.
Thinking about it again, Dong Guifeng seems to have nothing to do with Xiaofu on the surface, but recalling that at the beginning, it was Xiaofu who reminded Dong Guifeng that Dong Guifeng had a close relationship with Miss Hu, and she paid attention to Dong Guifeng.
At that time, she didn't think much about it, and thought that Xiaofu had the ability and his own way, but now that she thinks about it, maybe she has been eyeing Dong Guifeng for a long time, and there must be some entanglement between the two.
With a chill in her heart, Mrs. Meng didn't dare to stay in the Dingwang Mansion for a long time, which became more and more gloomy the more she looked at it, and reluctantly said a few more words. I hurriedly took my leave.
Back at Meng's house, Meng Ye had just sent away a few colleagues, and when he saw Mrs. Meng coming back, he knew earlier that she had gone to Dingwang's Mansion, so he casually asked a few times, as if he cared about his own daughter.
As soon as she asked like this, Mrs. Meng couldn't hold back the hidden things in her heart, and she really couldn't afford such a big thing alone, so she told Meng Ye.
Of course, she didn't tell it all. It's only partial. is suspected of Dong Guifeng's death.
Meng also began to see that Mrs. Meng was nervous, but when she said such a thing, she was suddenly a little displeased, and said, "What should I do?" A bunch of things in my own house. You don't care. What do you care about other people so much? This Dong Guifeng is not your sister's biological daughter, it has nothing to do with you and you can say, and we have no contact with the Liang family. Do you care how she died? Are there still few ghosts who died unjustly in Yancheng? If you have that spare time, you might as well put more thought into the banquet for me, today's banquet is not very good, and the dishes are not elegant enough......"
"It's just a few dishes, what's the matter?" Mrs. Meng's heart suddenly became angry, their military general's house, used to feast guests, as long as the wine was good, who was picky about the dishes and the like? Men like to drink wine in large gulps and eat meat in large bowls, making it too delicate, and people don't like it.
"I told you you don't understand either. Meng also obviously didn't want to quarrel, and was about to leave as soon as he threw off his robe.
Mrs. Meng was in a hurry, so she quickly grabbed him and said, "I'm talking about business...... I suspect that Dong Guifeng's death is related to the Dingwang Mansion. β
"How is that possible?" Meng Ye's first reaction was first disbelief, and then he felt that Mrs. Meng was not a person who was a man of his own words, so he immediately became nervous and asked, "Who did you listen to, did Xiao Fu tell you about it just now, did Xiaofu tell you?"
Meng also asked several questions in a row.
Mrs. Meng thought about it: "Xiao Fu didn't say anything, but the meaning of his words seemed to be as simple as suspecting that Dong Guifeng was not hanging...... In addition, you don't know yet, Dong Guifeng looked for Xiaofu before he died, Xiaofu didn't see her, and drove the rumored Qing Mama back. β
"There is such a thing, why didn't you say it earlier?" Meng also became nervous, even if there was a trivial matter in the Dingwang Mansion, it could be related to the Meng family, but it could not lower its vigilance, and the current Meng family relied on the Dingwang Mansion.
Mrs. Meng sighed, "Master, you are busy all day long, before the accident, how did I know that things would be so strict? β
Meng Ye was speechless for a moment, as if he had really said such a thing, and then said vaguely: "This ...... There are so many things that I couldn't have expected for a while...... Did Xiaofu say that she had anything to do with Dong Guifeng?"
"Xiao Fu didn't say......," Madame Meng shook her head at first, and then added, "But after talking about it, she suddenly said that sometimes killing people doesn't necessarily need to be done by themselves." β
Killing people does not necessarily need to be done by themselves, Meng also passed this sentence in his heart, and suddenly his face turned pale, and the husband and wife glanced at each other.
Mrs. Meng could see that Meng Ye was obviously also sick, and they both had the same understanding of this sentence.
Meng Ye only felt that his mouth was dry, and it took a long time before he asked, "Did Xiaofu say anything?" Did you say anything about the Dong family or the Liang family?"
Mrs. Meng said: "She didn't say, master, I can't ask too much about this kind of thing, but I always have a pimple in my heart, in case this matter is really related to Xiaofu, do we have to plan as soon as possible?"
"What can we do?" Meng also had a headache, the last thing he was good at was dealing with the filth of the inner house.
Mrs. Meng thought about it carefully again and said, "You can check it privately...... What is so strange about Dong Guifeng's death, and is there any connection between her and Xiaofu...... I mean, is there anything that affects Xiaofu, you know Xiaofu has been separated from us for so long, what is in her heart, sometimes it is inconvenient to say. β
"Okay, you can check it out privately. Meng also felt that it was nothing to check.
Mrs. Meng said again: "The first step is to send someone to Thorn Town to investigate. β
"What are you doing in Thorntown?" Meng couldn't figure it out again.
Mrs. Meng said: "Xiaofu has lived in Thorn Town for so many years...... If there's anything we don't even know about, most of it happened in Thorntown, and if you look it up, you might be able to find out something. β
"Confused, you just said that you want to investigate Dong Guifeng's death, why do you want to find out about Xiaofu?" Meng Ye was alarmed in his heart, as a man, he was more sensitive to some things than Mrs. Meng.
How can this kind of thing be investigated? If something is found, then it is bad, is it difficult to expose his daughter's shortcomings? To let Xiaofu know that they are investigating her, it is terrible.
If Xiaofu wants to have something that he doesn't want people to know, and they find out, can they still have good fruits to eat? Thorn Town is a small place, and if you really want people to check, it is difficult to leave no clues, which is equivalent to looking for trouble.
Mrs. Meng was reprimanded by Meng Ye, and said a little aggrieved: "Isn't this for Xiaofu?"
"You are good for Xiaofu, why do I think you want to blackmail Xiaofu?" Meng Ye had no scruples about talking to Mrs. Meng, and said whatever he wanted.
Mrs. Meng first felt weak, and then said confidently: "I'm just worried about Xiaofu, if there is really anything we can find out, others will definitely be able to." β
"What do you want to do if you find out?" Meng Ye sneered, "I see that you have been in a panic recently, and you want to have nothing to do, sue you, this matter is over, and you are not allowed to meddle in the affairs of the Dong family or the Liang family, you just take care of your own affairs, and then take care of your baby daughter and son-in-law, and others will not care." β
Madame Monte was silent.
Meng also changed the topic at the right time to ease the atmosphere: "Speaking of which, your son-in-law is really not angry, originally I found a gap for him in the Ministry of Officials, and asked him to be a junior official to learn, but he didn't know how, he actually refused, probably because he felt that the official position was too small and not worthy of her as a great talent, how could it be unreasonable, and he didn't look at his own virtues, could he really expect to be the champion?" Although this official position is small, it is an important department, do things first, participate in the scientific examination tomorrow, if you can go further, in a jinshi or something, it will be easier to take a step up, I don't understand this truth, really, Yan'er too, will not persuade his husband well, one by one does not grow. β
"The affairs of the two of them are still up to them, and the Zhou family is also a big family in other places, and if the two of them really want to live a leisurely life, they can do it. "Mrs. Meng agrees with her daughter and son-in-law's idea, it is better to go less to the muddy water in Yancheng officialdom, so as not to know how to die that day. (To be continued......)
