Chapter 1168: Trouble Caused by Competing for Favor
"Huh?"
Gu Yu felt that she and Lin Xin were not talking about a thing at all, what did this matter have to do with competing for favor?
Lin Xin touched his chin and said with a smile: "Oh, I just forgot to say it." The current wife of this family is the continuation of the later marriage, and the previous daughter was born to the first wife, but then she died, so she married the current wife again. ”
"Wait, how do you know about this?"
When they moved from Daliang, they didn't have many servants with them, and even if they did, they were loyal to their masters, how could they tell Lin Xin these things to an outsider?
Lin Xin glanced at Gu Yu with a little disgust, and said, "Do you still need them to tell me?" It's an inference, and it's just confirmed from them. ”
"Huh?"
Gu Yu felt that his IQ had been insulted, and said, "Then you can tell me how you argue." ”
"It's very simple, I just need to ask a few questions from the side, don't you? For example, Mrs. is really blessed, she gave birth to three children, she still looks so young, is the eldest lady and the second lady marrying well, does Madame plan to take the capital of the Celestial Empire together......"
"Wait, none of this proves anything."
"Why can't you prove it? It is enough to prove that the eldest lady and the second lady are not born to this lady? And they don't need to answer, I can tell just by looking at their faces. ”
Lin Xin crossed Erlang's legs and took out a plate of pastries from the dark compartment of the carriage, and this skillful appearance was also seen by others, and they thought that the carriage was his.
"Then how do you know that this is a later marriage, not raised by your aunt?"
"Alas, Gu Da, you are really lacking in this aspect. You must know that most men marry wives for the sake of their family's family lineage. After all, if he doesn't like to marry a wife, he can still find a concubine.
But this family is different, or marrying a poor woman as a wife, not only will it not help your career, but you will be poor together.
If he finds a rich girl as his wife, in addition to bringing a rich dowry, his wife will also bring her family's connections and resources, even if you are a dou, you can support your family. If this wife is shrewd and capable, maybe she doesn't have to do anything, and she can soar. ”
The corners of Lin Xin's mouth hooked when he said this, obviously a little mocking, and then added: "But Gu Da, you don't need to know this, after all, your family affairs are already prominent enough, and no matter how good your wife's family background is, it is just icing on the cake for you." ”
"Huh."
Gu Yu naturally heard the other meanings in Lin Xin's words, and he didn't care about him in general, after all, Lin Xin's articulate was famous, and having a verbal battle with him was no different from looking for death.
"So you mean to say that this is actually the competition between the housewife and the concubine? If you can compete for favor, how can you use such poison? ”
"Naturally, it's not just to compete for favor, it's to kill the other party."
The smile on the corner of Lin Xin's mouth widened more and more, and he said: "This matter is actually very simple, no matter which of the two of them dies, this housewife can be left alone, and it has nothing to do with her." ”
Gu Yu also immediately understood what Lin Xin meant, no wonder the housewife had always wanted to return her husband's body just because she had this intention.
"Well, the motive is there now, but how did she poison her? The little girl who tested the poison that day showed no signs of poisoning at all, which seemed to judge that there was no problem with the food that day, and the only person who accompanied the family to eat that day was the concubine. ”
"That's not right." Lin Xin stretched out another finger, shook it at Gu Yu and said, "That's why I said that this case is a little interesting?" The most interesting thing is that the poisoner has a clever mind. said that if it weren't for Uncle Ben's discerning and discerning eyes, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to think of it for a while. ”
The corners of Gu Yu's mouth twitched, Lin Xin's brazenness seemed to have reached another realm, and he didn't know if he would be beaten in Dali Temple with such a demeanor?
"What the hell is going on?"
"I asked carefully about the recipe of the day, and one of them was called fish tart."
Gu Yu nodded and said, "That's right, it is recorded in the dossier that the concubine loves to eat this dish the most, almost every once in a while, the cook will get a fresh fish belly, and this method is still learned from the Japanese people......"
Gu Yu knew this matter very clearly, so he also said it carefully, Lin Xin nodded and said, "It's in this dish." ”
"But...... How do you explain it? ”
Lin Xin glared at Gu Yu and said, "What are you panicking about!" The main event hasn't started yet! I've got to figure it out carefully. ”
"Okay, please."
Gu Yu said with a suppressed anger.
Seeing that Gu Yu seemed to be on fire, Lin Xin sped up and said: "The method of this fish is very particular, I once saw it in Kui's shop, no matter what time of year, ice is needed when eating fish belly, so you only need to smear poison on the plate before the fish is loaded with ice, so you can."
The earth dragon is burning in the house, and it will not be long before the ice will melt, and the poison mixed with the water will soak into the fish, and it can achieve the effect of killing. ”
"Huh?"
deliberately opened his eyes wide, and felt that although Lin Xin was understating, it was really difficult to implement this matter, not to mention, there was more than one person in the kitchen, how could he step on the right time and poison the plate?
"If you follow the modus operandi you said, many people can do it, but it is a little too difficult to implement."
Lin Xin hooked the corners of his mouth, smiled and said: "What Gu Da said is indeed right, but ah, this matter is really difficult for you and me, but it is easy for women who live in the civil war all day long, just find a reason to pull the people in the kitchen to the courtyard to lecture, it's okay."
As for why Madame did this, it was not just for the sake of favor. She had a sense of crisis, so she desperately wanted to get rid of this woman, but she never thought that it was her husband who died in the end, and things became a little tricky. ”
"Why did she get rid of this woman?"
"The concubine is already pregnant, if one day she gives birth to a son, I am afraid that she will fly up the branch and become a phoenix. Now the woman is pressing her wife in everything, if she gives birth to a son, won't she go to heaven?
The lady naturally wanted to get rid of her, and she used very clever methods. As long as this woman is dead, no one can do anything to her. And even if her husband complains in his heart at that time, he has to take care of his face and cover up for himself, which is what she relies on.
never thought that this fate would make people, but it was her own husband who died in the end, and things became off track. ”
"Then why did the owner die?"
"That little concubine is pregnant, and she can't smell the smell of meat. I used to love eating fish jelly, but now I want to vomit when I smell it. Presumably, the owner of this house tasted it himself to see if the fish was fresh or not, so that it was poisoned in the end. ”
