Chu Tao was also a little scared, she said: "This is just my guess, Sister Sakura, there are a few reliable family members around my father, all of whom are good seedlings of martial arts personally selected by my grandfather before, although they don't have any ambitions now - they act as guards for my mother!" After you get into the carriage, I will let these people follow you and keep you safe, you go back to the palace first, and I will explain the rest for you. ”

As Hatsu Tao envisioned, Hatsuzakura has been eating fish and shrimp that are still slightly poisonous, and the toxins slowly accumulate in the body, and when the time comes, the poison will occur, who can find out, even if there is speculation, it can't be proven.

Hatsuzakura smiled self-deprecatingly: "I thought that our family would come to a savior, but I didn't expect a disaster star to come." Let me think about it, what is Zeng Yuxin going to do? I have to find out how her father and brother died, and also, Chu Tao, you reminded me, Grandmother Wu's death must not be so nervous, you were not at home when she died, and now that she has been in the coffin, it is difficult to thoroughly investigate what happened at that time. ”

"It's not that I can't fight her, it's just that I have to take care of my children now." Chu Ying said firmly: "Sister Peach, you can go back to the palace with me." ”

Chu Tao hesitated: "I wanted to ask my grandmother last time why Grandmother Wushu passed away suddenly, but I forgot about it when the words came to my lips. How strange this is, why didn't anyone check it, so the funeral was held in such a hurry. And - why can't Zeng Yuxin get along with Grandmother Wu? ”

Hatsu Sakura stopped what she was doing and muttered: "I heard my mother say that Grandma Wushu was arrogant and domineering when she was young, and she offended others a lot, relying on her young beauty and grandfather's favor to walk sideways in the house, and even my grandmother was not less angry with her, so I privately felt that no one cared about how she died." There is no trace of poisoning or murder on her body, she always pushes pai gow all night with her subordinates, but everyone knows it, in recent years, there have been too many people who have died suddenly because of pai gow, and everyone thought it was overwork at that time and didn't think about other places at all. ”

Hatsu Sakura said: "To put it bluntly, grandmother is unwilling to explore this matter, otherwise how could she be so sloppy." I'm thinking about the second question you asked, and now my mind is a mess and I can't figure anything out. ”

Chu Tao smacked her tongue, Wushu's grandmother was the biological mother of Uncle Duan and the third aunt, how could even they be so indifferent to the death of their biological mother, she really couldn't understand it. So she told the doubts in her heart to Hatsu Sakura.

Chu Ying said helplessly: "The third aunt was estranged from the Jiang family when she married far away, and now she is only on her son, where do you still remember her biological mother." As for my father and mother, alas, they just took the opportunity to mention the separation, and they didn't care how my grandmother died. ”

Chu Tao sighed: "It's not a secret, I knew that Uncle Duan had the intention of separating the family, and because of this, I also felt cold, although there were some contradictions between my grandmother and my grandmother, but my grandmother didn't treat her children badly!" When my grandfather was alive, he had already divided the family property, and the elders of the family also testified, and Uncle Duan was in a hurry to divide the family because he was afraid that my father and Uncle Kai would occupy his share of the family business. ”

When Chu Sakura heard Chu Tao say this about her father, instead of being angry, she admired Chu Tao's appearance: "Others say you are stupid, I think you are wise and stupid, you are not stupid at all." Okay, Sister Peach, you go to the palace with me, and I feel at ease if you accompany me. ”

Chu Tao really wanted to go, and he was not free at all when he was managed by the Liu family at home every day, so he agreed to come down. Chu Tao asked, "Sister Sakura, do you want to tell my mother about this, and let her help us come up with an idea." ”

Hatsu Sakura said: "We don't have conclusive evidence, everything is just our conjecture, let's not let my aunt come in yet." ”

The two went to say goodbye to Liu, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw Liu's hand holding a feather duster and waiting for Chu Tao to come back, Chu Tao was used to it, either she stole half a roast chicken last night and was found by her, or she wrote a letter to Xue Congjia and was caught by her mother, or she was nosy and caused her mother's dissatisfaction, in short, there are thousands of reasons for her mother to beat herself, just hit a few times, that feather duster looks thick, in fact, they are all fluffy chicken feathers, and it doesn't hurt to beat people.

Chu Tao walked over and stretched out his hand nonchalantly, the dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, and said, "Mother, if you want to beat it, hurry up and beat it, I will go back to the palace with Sister Sakura in a while." ”

Liu's eyes widened, and he didn't care if Chu Ying was beside him, he picked up the feather duster and pumped it on Chu Tao: "You dare to come back!" You're me off! ”

Chu Taodong jumped down, holding his head and shouting: "Mother! I won't dare next time! Don't dare anymore! ”

Liu grabbed Chu Tao, slapped her on the ass a few times, and said angrily: "Say! What's wrong, don't you dare next time! ”

Chu Sakura went up to stop it or not, who knows what sister Peach made again, I can only see the mother and daughter jumping in the house, very funny. Chu Tao cried and mourned as she ran: "I shouldn't have stolen that half of the roast chicken last night, and I shouldn't have secretly taken away the palace flower that was awarded to Sister Orange, I was wrong, I don't dare anymore!" ”

"Am I talking about this? Well? Okay, you, I told you to lose weight, and you steal it, right! Liu brushed the first peach a few more times.

Hatsu Sakura hurriedly said, "Hey, auntie, why are you beating Sister Peach!" "You can't just slap her a few times if she doesn't like her!

Chu Tao held her head and stuck her head out of the inner room and said, "Yes, mother, why are you beating me!" ”

Liu was panting with his waist in his waist, thinking that he was really old, he used to chase the first peach all over the yard without panting, but now he is too tired to run half a lap in the house. She gasped and said, "Let me ask you, you have two taels of silver a month, and you are at home for food and clothing, where is there a place to use silver?" What do you do as jewelry? ”

Chu Tao thought, I'll go, why did I sell jewelry by my mother to know, my mother has clairvoyance and ears, so her eyes closed and quickly begged for mercy: "Mother, I was wrong, I was greedy for money, for a while I couldn't see the silver I was uncomfortable, so I sold the jewelry and replaced it with silver to sleep." I feel safe when I sleep like that! ”

"Really?" Liu raised his eyebrows.

Chu Tao nodded hurriedly: "Really." ”

"I believe you're a ghost!" Liu took the opportunity to catch Chu Tao and beat him again, and only after beating Chu Tao did he react, no, didn't his jewelry hide under a tree in Jichang Garden? She didn't take it out in exchange for money, after all, she didn't use that money when she ran away from home!

Chu Tao, who was beaten in white, cried and said: "No, mother, I didn't sell jewelry!" ”

Liu's braincase was buzzing with anger: "I don't admit it yet!" I said how you've been dressed so plainly lately! It turns out that the jewelry has been taken to the pawn shop for money! You're not ashamed, I'm ashamed if you're not ashamed! What did you say you did with the money? ”

Chu Tao knelt down all of a sudden, and said aggrievedly: "Mother, I'll be honest." A lot of my jewelry is buried in Jichang Garden, if you don't believe it, I'll go to Jichang Garden to dig up for you now. I thought about using this money as a runaway entanglement, who told you to force me to marry Sun Yihao in the first place! However, but then my marriage with Sun Yihao blew up, and I didn't need to run away from home again, I really didn't exchange jewelry for money. ”

Liu sat down, panting and serving the hot tea beside her, she knew her daughter, she would not kneel easily, it seemed that what she said was still somewhat credible, and thinking that she was going to run away from home, she felt angry and funny.

Liu took the consistent hairpin and handed it to Chu Tao, saying, "This is your hairpin, right?" ”

People who don't know the goods will never think that it is something valuable when they see this hairpin, the sour jujube wood is the main body of this hairpin, and the silver tray is embedded with a huge black pearl, exuding a faint luster. Just look at the hairpin itself is not valuable, although such a large black pearl is not common, but in recent years, Dongyi and South have left the country to exchange trade, black pearls have long been not a rare thing, the only thing that adds a little value, is that it is relatively large.

But this is not a pearl, but black jade, after the top jade master after tens of thousands of polishing, a small piece of its precious black jade polished like a natural pearl. Such a black jade does not need other gems to match at all, so the craftsman who made this hairpin deliberately chose two materials, silver and sour jujube wood, in order to highlight the beauty of this black jade. This is something that was given by the royal family decades ago, and most people would never have such a thing.

Hatsu Tao said, "Oops! I've found this hairpin! I lost it a while ago, and I didn't dare to tell my mother, how could I be here. ”

It turned out that a pawnshop in Jinling received this hairpin, the apprentice is still shallow, did not see the material of this hairpin, and waited until the shopkeeper counted the property to find this unusual hairpin, fortunately at the bottom of the hairpin wrote a small "Jiang" word, the apprentice recalled that the pawn was an ordinary maid, and the shopkeeper was careful that the Jiang family had a thief, so he quickly sent the hairpin back.

"You tell your mother the truth, it's really not you who do it?" Liu's tone was serious.

Chu Tao shook her head and said: "My mother also said just now, this hairpin has been exchanged for a little money, don't I know how precious Moyu is, I will sell it for a few pennies, I am not a fool." ”

Liu slapped the table: "It's really the other way around, it must be you, the little rabbit cub, wearing a hairpin to show off everywhere!" I accidentally lost it and was picked up by someone! ”

Chu Tao frowned, because the hairpin was precious, he almost didn't wear it, and he kept it in the cabinet, which ruled out the possibility of losing the jewelry and being sold by the servant. So what's going on? Chu Tao explained: "I don't have it, this hairpin is dark in color, and the thief is not good at wearing clothes, so why should I wear it out to show off." Last time Sister Sakura got married, alas? Have I worn it once? It seems to be worn by Xiao Zi? I don't even remember. ”

Liu threw the feather duster and said, "You fool! I'm so angry with you and vomiting blood! Can I let you go to the Three Kings' Mansion like this, don't embarrass me outside. ”

Chu Tao sprinkled on the ground: "I'm going, I'm going, if you don't let me go, I'll run away from home." ”e8
