Chapter 67: Dowry (2)

Due to the murder, the patrol room quickly sent someone to do a simple autopsy, which confirmed that the old housekeeper Wang did die by suicide.

This is exactly what Qu Ning thinks they think.

Since it was confirmed that it was a suicide, and the status of the two of them was different, naturally no one stepped forward to disturb them, but Qu Ning saw a very well hidden dark in Tang Zhong's eyes.

Looking at the direction of the wing where Steward Wang committed suicide from a distance, Tang Shaoshuai said abruptly: "I have promised him, if there is a slight damage, he will not be investigated." His voice was slightly hoarse, and his emotions were very low, "What is he going to shut up with death, and for whom!" ”

Qu Ning could feel the endless anger in his broad chest at this time, and when he first saw the emaciated and shriveled corpse, his sadness and shock were probably because he had figured it out at this time, and all of them turned into hatred for the mastermind behind the real suicide of Steward Wang.

She silently put her hand on his shoulder, and stood silently beside him in a comforting gesture: Yes, before they came, the old housekeeper Wang was still working in the field with his son.

If the old housekeeper Wang coveted Mrs. Tang's dowry for his own glory and wealth, he would not be willing to be poor and work in the countryside himself, staying for several years.

Tang Zhong's depression was only for a moment, and then he regained his spirit and stood up: "Let's go and see how much of my mother's dowry is left." ”

The room where Mrs. Tang's Zou dowry was stored had a rusty lock on it, and it had been locked for many years.

Wang's old housekeeper's son went to the side to find the key to the unlock for a long time, and then fiddled with it for a long time before he opened the lock a little clumsily, the tears on his face were not dry, Xu was because he knew that their arrival, which led to his father's death, although his words at this time were still a little polite to the master's family, but the speed of speech was very fast, obviously he didn't want to talk to them too much, obviously he was still a little dissatisfied in his heart: "Several boxes in this room, since they were brought in, are all locked by the old father to lock the door for safekeeping." The people in our family never entered this room, and only my father and I knew where to put this lock and key. Since my father is gone, our family can't afford to manage these trouble-taking goods, so please take it back with the young marshal today! ”

As soon as Qu Ning walked in, he looked around, and saw that there were some beautifully carved sandalwood products in this utility room—that should be one of Mrs. Tang's dowries.

Her nose fluttered slightly, and then she frowned tightly, glanced thoughtfully at Wang Jiazi who was waiting beside her, and glanced at Young Marshal Tang.

Tang finally understood, so he nodded to the sturdy man and said, "You leave the list, and the young lady and I will finish counting, and then we will ask someone to carry it away." ”

The man nodded, turned around and closed the door and went out.

As soon as the door closed, the light in the room immediately dimmed, and the room was silent, Qu Ning glanced around the room, and whispered to Tang Shaoshuai: "Carefully, something is wrong." ”

Tang Quan's body tensed instantly, Qu Ning sighed secretly, but still took his hand and led him to a chair: "Carefully, look at this chair, the appearance is black, and it is still very heavy when you put it in your hand...... It is said that the heavier the mahogany chair, the better, but this one, you sniff it......"

Tang finally didn't come up to sniff it, but stretched out his hand with a dark face, and made a few white marks on the chair, then he closed his eyes and nodded: "Steal beams and change pillars." ”

This is not the original small-leaved red sandalwood. It is a material that is cheaper than the small leaf red sandalwood, I don't know how many times, deliberately old, made into the original appearance, but the value is no longer the same.

Qu Ning knew that the number of mahogany furniture in this room alone, the original material, was already priceless in this era and in later generations.

In a woman's dowry, the furniture is a large piece, if the original materials of those furniture are precious woods such as small leaf red sandalwood, then when the Zou family got married, it can really be described as ten miles of red makeup, and it may even be more generous than her princess, the dowry.

No wonder the Zou family has a foothold in the Tang family and has the confidence to send her only son abroad, at that time, she never thought that she might be killed, and she couldn't even keep the things and daughter behind her, right?

Even the dowry she brought from her mother's family and wanted to pass on to her daughter is now only an empty shelf.

Qu Ning looked at the man beside him with some embarrassment - these things may not be so precious to him today, but this is the memories and nostalgia left by his biological mother to these children, and he may not be able to find them back now, how sad does he have to be?

Tang Shaoshuai had already opened the boxes one by one without saying a word, and carefully picked up the jewelry inside one by one to check it in the sun, the sound of opening and closing the lid became heavier and heavier, and obviously his mood was getting worse and worse.

After reading the last box, he turned from anger to calm, and there was only a cold silence like ice on his face: "No wonder he is going to die, he can't carry such a number alone." ”

After a pause, he smiled coldly, "Even if he dies now, he can only protect his children from this incident, and I will definitely investigate this matter to the end!" ”

Qu Ning was silent, and gently patted his hand to show her support, to be honest, today's ups and downs also made a mess of her mood.

There are some things that she didn't prepare to say now, but when she forced Liangshan, things have come to this point, and it is not okay not to tell him.

She heard her voice open her mouth bitterly: "Sincerely, have you ever thought that there may be another hidden reason for your mother's death?" ”

Tang Shaoshuai's eyebrows were raised, even in the dark room at this time, the scorching light in his eyes seemed to burn Qu Ning's face: "What does Madam mean by this?" ”

The words were out, Qu Ning didn't plan to take it back, she simply told the things she knew honestly, including Miss Tang Er's "confession" and so on, plus her own analysis, Tang Shaoshuai's face became more and more iron-blue the more she listened, and in the end, Qu Ning said faster and faster, and she was almost frightened to finish speaking. As soon as she looked up at him, she suddenly felt that she must have been dazzled—she seemed to see a faint water in Tang Zhong's slender eyes.

"Flesh and blood cannibalism, even so ......" he turned his back and looked out the window at the withered autumn colors of the grass and trees, and only spat out these eight words between his thin lips.

I don't know why, at this time, Qu Ning seemed to see the loneliness of autumn outside the window on the back of this majestic mountain.

It was the first time she felt emotions other than deep and confident in this man. And this kind of loneliness, in her opinion, is not suitable for him at all.

She suddenly reached out from behind to wrap her arms around his waist, and said to him in a soft voice: "Be careful, let's ask someone to find the things that have been lost, as long as you are willing to pay a high price, you may still have a chance to find them back." The most important thing now is to find out where the flow of these things went, and to find out the roots, maybe ......"

Tang finally closed his eyes, and his voice was cold and silent: "I can't find it back." It's just that these are things outside of my body, and I am most distressed......"

He let out a long sigh, turned to look at the woman who was a head shorter than him, and was hugging him with her face up, in a posture like a puppy rubbing up, and her eyes darkened, "I shouldn't be married." I was the one who mistook you. ”

"......" Qu Ning was silent for a moment, and suddenly his expression turned angry, and the action of rubbing on his chest turned into a push to push him away, "Tang Jinzhi!" She pointed at him and said angrily, "You should be glad that you marry me, you also know how things are going on around you, married into your Tang family, I am busy not only making your face but also taking care of making money to support your family and having to win over personnel for you, how can I have a day off!" You just said that you mistook me now, and you are not ashamed! ”

Tang was finally burned by her anger, and his expression at this moment was almost like an expression of hugging his head, and the sadness of Fang Cai had been burned at this time.

Qu Ning was unrelenting: "The possibilities I can think of, the clues I can find, I don't believe it, you didn't even suspect it at all!" I don't believe it, you didn't think about it at the beginning, the person promised you to deal with those people so happily and promised, is it just to cut the grass and erase the last traces! I don't believe it, you are such a dignified young marshal, you are such an easily deceived person, if this is the case, you will not live today! ”

"......" Tang Shaoshuai showed a little wry smile on his face, and spread his hands at Qu Ning, "Madame is so smart, let Madame finish your words, and I don't know what to say for my husband." ”

He paused slightly, and his tone gradually changed to firmness: "Don't hide it from you, Madame, I have indeed thought about what you said. But he had no motive. I never thought of what it was to make my father do something to a weak woman like my mother. She has already conceived two children for him, and there is nothing wrong with her husband and children on weekdays, what kind of unbearable things he has done, so that he will be so ruthless and ruthless! In fact, when the lab came to report that I had been poisoned, I was both relieved and angry...... But now, it's another human life, and I don't think I can make a fool of myself anymore. The only one who has the ability to replace his mother's dowry, and does the same thing, is his father. ”

He sighed deeply, "After so many years, my father has changed. ”

Looking at the rare fragile appearance on his handsome face, Qu Ning really felt depressed in his heart, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and looked up at him very seriously: "Hey, do you dare to give me a reassuring pill, they all say that father and son are similar...... What I'm most afraid of now shouldn't be you as a son, but me as a daughter-in-law! You say you're not going to kill me one day because I'm angry, are you? Qu Ning made a "afraid" posture as he spoke, the man opposite was dumbfounded, and suddenly smiled, leaned down and kissed her lightly on the cheek, and said with extra gentleness: "Madame's words are wrong, generally sons are like mothers, and daughters are like fathers...... That's why I'm the one to be afraid of. ”

"......" is such a strong word, young marshal, don't you blush, don't you blush? Even if you're like your mother, I won't be like your father, okay, young and young? This thing must have learned very badly in logic before.

Qu Ning was thinking upside down in her heart, and was kissed by him, her cheeks were faintly pink, just seeing that his mood was better, she still muttered about the gag and sold cuteness: "...... I've beaten you, it's weird, okay, the force value of killing a husband or something is really not enough......"

"......" Tang Shaoshuai laughed again at this time, with a handsome face, and he no longer saw the previous haze.

Qu Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the villain was kneeling with tears on his face: What kind of bloody family dispute is this, is it just exhausting to comfort him? But comforting him and comforting him, in her heart, almost at the same time, an indescribable sense of vigilance rose towards her father-in-law, who always had a low sense of existence.

A man who is willing to kill his wife who has been with him for half his life, what she thinks is, the cliff is not as simple as she thought before.

And Tang Shaoshuai now seems that he will inevitably be with him in the future - the Chinese people pay the most attention to the father and son of the monarch and the minister, and pay attention to the word filial piety.

This also leads to the fact that if they go toe-to-toe in the future, Tang Shaoshuai will naturally be at a disadvantage.

How could she help him?

She can't watch her father-in-law suffer in the future, right?

Qu Ning blinked his eyes, looking at the room full of things, suddenly his eyes rolled, and an idea instantly came to his mind.
