Chapter 038: Falling into the Well
Su Xue didn't understand why Shen Ergongzi would give her a jade bracelet with luminous powder, but because this host had been murdered to death, she had to be more careful.
After coming to Jingshi, she has been looking for an opportunity to secretly observe the second wife, but there is still no situation, just when she thought she was really worried, the second wife finally had an accident.
After the river lantern went out, it was dark all around, but if you wore the jade bracelet coated with luminous powder, it would be very light and locked......
In fact, when Su Xue heard those few cries for help, she already knew it in her heart.
After today's events, Su Xue has been convinced of her previous conjecture that Shen Er Gongzi does not want to marry her, not only does he not want to marry her, but he also wants to kill her.
In this way, the person who strangled the host to death before was most likely sent by Shen Ergongzi.
It's just that Su Xue still has a doubt, the person who kidnapped the second wife by following the luminous jade bracelet was sent by Shen Ergongzi, but how could these people know that there would be assassins who would break in and extinguish the river lantern at that time? The only explanation is that they are the same group at all, or that the second son of the Shen family is the leader of those assassins.
Murdered his fiancΓ©e and assassinated the crown prince of the dynasty. While Su Xue was frightened, she couldn't help but secretly think, this Shen Gongzi is really an extraordinary human being......
They waited in the lobby for news, and Su Xue still hoped that the second wife would come back safe and sound, not because of kindness. She can't be kind to this loving mother who can't wait to crush her bones and scatter ashes on the surface, but still pretends to be gentle and generous.
Besides, doesn't the second wife really want her to marry into the Shen family? Now the second wife has also tasted the power of this second son of Shen herself, and it is not wronged.
It's just that, after all, such an encounter belonged to her, and now she is married to the second wife, if the second wife is still alive, she will at least not be too frightened in her heart.
The night was getting darker, and when it was almost the middle of the night, a guard finally came to the Xiangyun Inn in a hurry.
As soon as the old lady heard the movement, she suddenly stood up, and Brother Hong and Miss Fourth hurriedly held the old lady and walked outside.
Su Xue also got up, and as soon as she took two steps, she heard an exclamation from the fourth lady, and then the old lady was also angry, knocking on her cane and yelling at the guards: "Who did this?" β
The guard was explaining, but Su Xue didn't have the heart to listen, she approached and poked her head to look at the second wife who was carried back, and was also taken aback.
The second wife was unconscious, her hair was almost all scattered, the red coral-colored comb grate was also broken into two sections, only half of it was still hanging on her hair, and the alizarin red veil she was wearing had been torn into strips, even the lining had been torn open, and a large piece of heart cuffs were exposed......
Su Xue couldn't imagine that the second wife was found by the guards in such a state and then carried back.
It's hard not to make people reverie about this appearance, and even Brother Hong was shocked when he saw it, and turned his head to avoid it.
The fourth lady Jingxuan hurriedly rushed to the second wife, wanting to help her cover her shame, the old lady roared and hurriedly took off the cloak on her body to cover the second lady, and bent down to pull the fourth lady up.
According to the guard's explanation, they found the second wife in an abandoned grass hut, and when they went, they only saw the second wife lying alone in the grass pile. The straw shed is dirty and messy, and there are many traces of struggle, it seems that the second wife is not in good spirits......
The guards just wanted to give an explanation to the people of Jiangfu, so they said it bluntly. The old lady was hindered by the presence of girls like Miss Fourth and Miss Six, so she hurriedly waved her hand to stop the guard.
But even if they stopped, Miss Four and Miss Six were still scared.
The eldest lady, who had already returned to the house, heard the movement, and also came over to take a look, and after just one glance, she was so frightened that she hurriedly covered her heart.
"This ...... This is which lewd thief is so bold that he dares to touch the wife of Jiang Mansion! The eldest lady pointed to the guard and began to question.
The fourth lady was already frightened when she heard the description of the guard, but when she heard the eldest lady say this, the last trace of hope in her heart was also shattered, and she couldn't help crying.
The eldest lady poked her head to see the wolf appearance of the second wife, and covered her mouth and nose with a silk silk to steal fun. This Cao Shuning, who has been riding on the head of the big house for more than ten years, has finally suffered retribution.
Imagine, as the wife of Jiang Mansion, but her reputation is not guaranteed, Rao is her Cao Shuning in the mansion No matter how popular she is, it will be a passing cloud after all.
The old lady will not value an unclean daughter-in-law, and if the second master is ruthless, he may abandon her, after all, Jiang Mansion cannot tolerate such filthy and unclean ugly things. As the pillar of the Jiang family, the second master will estimate the overall situation, and he will not let the entire second room be humiliated with her.
The more the eldest lady thinks about it, the happier she becomes, Cao Shuning will never be able to turn over now, so she has the hope of becoming the future housewife of the Jiang family. In fact, it was originally her thing, she was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Jiang family!
Their big house has been pressed by the second room, and now they can finally have a chance to fight back.
The eldest lady was overjoyed, but on the surface she looked frightened, and she stepped forward and pointed to the guards and asked, "What are you doing here?" What about the gang of prostitutes? Have you caught them? β
She deliberately said that she was a "gang" of prostitutes, so that the reputation of the second wife was even more damaged.
The guard did not even refute her, explaining: "The gangsters may have heard our footsteps and ran away in a hurry, so they didn't have time to put on their clothes. Looking at the clothes left in the hut, there is indeed more than one person. We have brought back all these clothes, and we will be able to identify them when Mrs. Jiang Er wakes up. β
Is there really more than one gangster?
The fourth lady Jingxuan couldn't listen to it anymore, and threw herself into the old lady's arms and cried bitterly.
The eldest lady held back her joy, let her subordinate take the clothes handed by the guard, and asked, "Identification?" What else is recognizable? Could it be that our second aunt will still know those gangsters? β
The eldest lady asked and smiled secretly, she just wanted to smear the second wife more and more black.
Although the guards did not agree with the eldest lady, they also said suspiciously: "At that time, the extinguishing of the river lantern was done by the assassins who murdered the prince, if the gangsters and the assassins were not a group, then how could they rush out and arrest the second wife Jiang in such a short period of time?" And there were so many people in Linxi River at that time, why wasn't it someone else, but just the second wife? β
After hearing this, the eldest lady thought for a while, and was suddenly shocked, looking at the old lady, but she wanted to speak again.
Su Xue watched silently as the eldest lady jumped up and down to mend the knife to the second wife, she only felt that the second lady's skill in hiding the knife in her smile was profound, and she never thought that the eldest lady's kung fu in falling into the well should not be underestimated.
The old lady naturally understood the meaning of the guards and the eldest lady's words, and looked at the second lady who was still unconscious, the old lady ** stroked Jingxuan in her arms, took a deep breath, and simply turned dark, and said, "Aren't you going to take it for questioning?" Okay, let's go with us! β
The current situation is so difficult to manage, how bad can it be? The old lady also let go.
The guard knew that the old lady was already angry, and frowned in embarrassment.
