Chapter 190: Finding Out the Truth

Ziyan arranged her sister's adoptive parents, picked out some clothes and women's supplies in the warehouse, and came to the Qingyun with her sister Zixin and met Chen Qing.

Chen Qing was very happy to see Zi Yan, and after hearing that Zi Yan was next to her own sister, she greeted Zi Xin warmly.

Ziyan invited Chen Qing to live at her house, and Chen Qing said that it was okay to go to her house to see, and if she wanted to live, she would live on the Qingyun if she wanted to, and wait for the boss to arrange things for her.

Zi Yan couldn't say anything more when she heard her say this, and handed over the bag of clothes and supplies to Chen Qing.

Chen Qing was very moved when she saw that Ziyan had given her so many things, and thanked her again and again.

The three of them talked and laughed together for a while before the two sisters left.

After a few days of investigation, Qu Wu has basically sorted out the clues, and it is very likely that Sang Zhi wronged the concubine who was divorced by him.

However, this is only speculation, and no convincing evidence has been found.

Qu Wu thought that the concubine Yang who complained to Sang was the key, and Wang said that the woman was dead and there was no proof of death, but Qu Wu was unwilling to give up this clue, and still got the address of the woman's maiden home through a relationship.

Qu Wu came to Yang's mother's house accompanied by Li Qianmo.

Unexpectedly, the Yang family's mother's house was unusually deserted, and when she knocked on the door of her small courtyard, a woman with a majority of fifty opened the door and asked Qu Wu and Li Qianmo who they were looking for, and Qu Wu said that she was sent by Sang Zhi to visit.

When the old woman heard Sang Zhi's name, she hesitated for a moment and said, "It's been five years since my daughters died, and now Sang Zhi only thinks of her, isn't it too late?" Come in. ”

After Qu Wu and Li Qianmo put away some of the grain and oil they bought, the Yang family's mother welcomed them into the lobby.

"Guest officer, I'm really sorry, I don't even have tea at home alone, you sit down for a while, I'll make tea." And the woman said.

"No, we're just going to take a look, sit down and leave." Qu Wu said.

"Oh, I thought Sang had forgotten about us, alas." As she spoke, tears fell from the woman's eyes.

"Your daughter is still young, why did she die young?" Qu Wu asked.

"Alas, I don't know what to say when I talk about her, since I took the leave of Lord Sang, she washed her face with tears all day long, regretting not being at the beginning." The woman said.

"Oh, why regret it?" Qu Wu asked.

"Now that so many years have passed, I can't live long, these past events are also a stone on my heart, my daughter made a big mistake at the beginning, but she really had no choice." The woman said.

"Are you saying that the other two ladies she reported to Lord Sang about their affair with Lang Zhong are false accusations?" Qu Wu asked.

"Originally, I wanted to bring this secret into the coffin, but when I think about it, this is too unfair to the three biological children of Lord Sang, and besides, I am so old and alone, there is nothing to be afraid of, so I will tell you about it." The woman said.

When Qu Wu heard this, he knew that it was not simple for the Yang family to frame the two concubines of Sangzhi.

"When my daughter and Lord Sang's concubine were arranged for Xue Tao to be treated, Lord Sang was in the post of Young Sima, Lord Sang was young and talented, and Lord Sima at that time was dying, and many people thought that Sang Zhi was the natural successor." The woman said.

"Master Sang married three concubines in a row because he wanted an heir, my daughter is the most beautiful of the three concubines and has the most no background, one of those two concubines is Sima's daughter, and the other is Taiwei's niece." And the woman said.

"My daughter is good in everything, the only bad thing is that she is jealous and very unassertive. The two concubines both gave birth to children after Xue Tao's treatment, but my daughter did not give birth, so she became jealous, and the two concubines often excluded her, which made her resentful. ”

"Later, someone gave my daughter an idea, asking her to put the birthdays of the two concubines on the little doll, prick the doll with a needle and bury it in the corner of the outer wall of the two concubines' rooms, saying that the two women could die early, and my daughter actually believed it and did it." And the woman said.

"Nightmare Town?" Qu Wu asked, secretly surprised in his heart, because this was a taboo in ancient times.

"Well, yes. Later, someone else came to tell my daughter, saying that he saw her release Nightmare Town, and that he would report her to San-sama, and my daughter immediately lost her opinion, because if she reported this matter to San-sama, she would definitely die. The woman said.

"The man threatened her to listen to him, and asked her to frame the two concubines, saying that they had adultery with Xue Tao and had children, and my daughter had no choice but to do so, and you should know what happened next." And the woman said.

"Since it's a false accusation, it's just your daughter's side of the story, why would Mulberry believe it?" Qu Wu asked.

"Lord Sang wanted to find evidence, but Xue Tao had already left Yingdu, and my daughter, under the instruction of others, made a poisonous oath in order to make Lord Sang believe, which made it difficult for Sang Zhi to suspect, so all three concubines were issued letters of resignation." And the woman said.

"Oh, I see. But who is the person behind the bad work? Why? Qu Wu said.

"According to my daughter, this behind-the-scenes figure is Master Sang's brother-in-law, who is now Da Sima Fanshan." The woman said.

"Huh? Why did Fan Shan frame his own brother-in-law? Qu Wu was taken aback.

"Because the Great Sima Fan Wei at that time intended to recommend Sang Zhi to take over the position of the Great Sima in the future, he promoted his son-in-law Sang Zhi to be the young secretary, which made Fan Shan angry." And the woman said.

"Understood, Fan Shan used this trick to get Sang Zhi to take a leave of absence from Fan's family, in order to separate the relationship between his father and Sang Zhi." Qu Wu said.

"Yes. Later, Sang Zhi had to leave the Sima Mansion, and King Chu Cheng transferred him to the rank of Shao Sitian, and King Chu Mu only promoted him to Sitian two years ago. The woman said.

"Oh, I see. It turned out to be an elaborate conspiracy. Qu Wu said, thinking that Fan Shan was merciful and did not put his brother-in-law to death.

"My daughter wrote down how she was deceived and how she was framed, but who instructed her behind the scenes did not write, she confessed before she died, and said let me decide whether to tell the truth to Sang Zhi, since you are the person sent by Lord Sang, I will leave it to you." As she spoke, the woman went to the back room and brought out a wooden box.

"In addition to the silk book written by my daughter, there are also jade bracelets, hostas, jade pendants, and some other jewelry that Lord Sang gave her back then, please give them to Lord Sang together." And the woman said.

"Good. Madam, why didn't you tell the truth sooner? Maybe your daughter won't die. Qu Wu said.

"My daughter's mistake in letting go of the town and framing others is two wrongs, these are not ordinary small things, but big crimes, even if they are instructed by others, it is absolutely difficult for Sang to forgive her. Besides, if the truth is revealed, how will Lord Fan Shan let her go? It's just that she thought about the problem too simply, and fell for someone else's trick. The woman said.

"Well, too." Qu Wu sighed, knowing the sinister nature of this power struggle.

"I heard that Lord Sang later adopted his adopted son, but his biological children can't recognize each other, and it's too unsympathetic." The woman said.

"Well, maybe Mulberry-sama will change when he finds out what happened." Qu Wu said.

"Those two nightmare towns are probably still in the Mulberry Mansion, please dig them out and burn them." And the woman said.

"Okay. Take care of yourself, we'll go first. Qu Wu said, took out another ingot of gold from his bosom and put it in the woman's hand, the woman took the gold, wiped her tears, and got up to send Qu Wu and Li Qianmo out of the door.
