Chapter 445: Asking for Clues

The smile on the steward's face stiffened for a moment, and then returned to its original state, he nodded and smiled: "Naturally, you can, please come with me." ”

Xie Junze didn't look at him, and took the lead in front, and Jiang Baizhu and Tang Min naturally followed.

The late Master Xu and his wife Yan had a very good feeling, but they still had a concubine.

Since Yan was kicked out of the house by Xu Chengyi, Master Xu's child was handed over to this concubine to take care of not long after he was born.

The steward took them to the door of the little concubine and explained the intention of Jiang Baizhu and the others, and the little concubine responded softly in the inner room (Jiaojiāo) (Jiaojiāo), and there seemed to be some choked in her voice, which sounded very sad.

Xie Junze had no expression (affection), and sat down on the side according to the housekeeper's guidance, Jiang Baizhu and Tang Min also found their own places, waiting to see the child.

Not long after, I saw a young and beautiful woman with a child in her arms, and a weak willow came over with a weak willow in the wind.

Her eyes were red, she hadn't applied any powder, and she looked like she had just cried.

The child was a little restless, crying with his mouth open in her arms, Jiang Baizhu leaned over to take a look, and saw that the child had a yellow face and thin muscles, unlike the white and chubby little babies he had usually seen, he was thin and small, and his crying voice was also very weak, as if he was going to cry at any time, very pitiful.

Jiang Baizhu's anger was high in his heart, and his tone unconsciously asked, "What's the matter with this child?" How did you get so thin? How do you take care of your children? ”

The little concubine was already a little nervous when she saw a few people, and she couldn't help but panic even more when she was scolded by Jiang Baizhu so loudly, her hand holding the child tightened, and then subconsciously glanced at the housekeeper standing next to her: "Don't blame the slave family, it's this child who refuses to eat (milk nǎi)!" Every day, the slave family is also very worried. ”

Xie Junze, who was sitting on the side, was noncommittal, and he asked casually: "The child doesn't eat (奶nǎi), probably because he is not used to (奶nǎi) Niang, but his previous (奶nǎi) Niang has been replaced?" ”

Seeing that he was born well, and Xie Junze's tone was quite gentle at this time, she relaxed slightly, nodded and said, "Yes, the former (milk nǎi) mother was sold." ”

Halfway through her words, she suddenly paused again, and glanced at the butler again at a loss.

The butler still lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Xie Junze took advantage of the (hot rè) iron to strike: "Yan's grievances, we are trying Yan's case, and we have to find the servants of the Yan family (身shēn) side to try it for trial, it stands to reason that this child was born to Yan's family, and (奶nǎi) Niang is naturally the closest person to Yan's (身shēn) side, so since (奶nǎi) Niang has been sold, what about the servants who served Yan's in the past?" ”

The little concubine glanced at the steward again, and the steward finally raised his head, and whispered with some shame: "Your adults also know that this Yan clan stole a man not long after our old master went to the fairy, and those people in her courtyard knew (qing) and did not report it, so they were naturally accomplices, and such evil servants would naturally have been dismissed long ago." And this kid. ”

Guan is said while giving the concubine a look, and the concubine received it and immediately cried: "Yes, Madame is really too much, when the master is here."

Madame is very good, even Madame can't have children, and the lord doesn't dislike Madame. ”

"Huh?" Jiang Baizhu interrupted the concubine's crying suspiciously, and pointed to the child in her arms: "You said that the Yan family can't have children, so where did this child come from?" ”

It's okay not to mention the child, but when the child is mentioned, the concubine's cry is eight degrees higher, as if she has been greatly wronged: "Back to the adult, this child, this child's biological mother is actually a slave!" ”

"The old man understands that his wife can't have children, so he recorded the child of the slave family in the name of the Yan family." She looked at the child with a gentle and sad gaze.

However, the news Jiang Baizhu got mentioned that Yan was the child's biological mother.

She asked this point, and the concubine immediately said: "Madame is the master mother, and in order to protect her, the master is naturally reluctant to tell this kind of secret to others." If a woman can't give birth, she will definitely be looked down upon by others, and the lord is so protective of his wife, so he naturally doesn't want her to be blamed by the world. ”

All the explanations are reasonable, if it weren't for the strange attitude of these two people, Jiang Baizhu might have really believed it.

But at this point, there is nothing more to ask, Jiang Baizhu and Xie Junze exchanged glances, and they both saw a trace of solemnity in each other's eyes.

After a brief exchange, they felt that they would not be able to ask for any useful information if they continued to ask, so they decided to take their leave.

The housekeeper immediately followed and sent them out of the door respectfully, but when he was leaving, he whispered again: "If you really don't have a clue, you can go to the grave keeper Cheng Ji, after the old man died, he has been looking at the old man's body, and he is the old servant of the family." ”

Jiang Baizhu's biggest problem now is that all the servants that Yan used before his madness have been dismissed, and no one can provide useful evidence for Yan.

But now, there is still an old servant here, which is a surprise for them.

Before leaving, Tang Min looked back at the housekeeper who was closing the door, suppressed the doubts in his heart, and quickly followed Jiang Baizhu's footsteps.

Without further ado, after getting the news, Jiang Baizhu and the others quickly found Cheng Qi in the housekeeper's mouth.

Hu Yufei and Wu Fu, who got the news, also perked up, followed Jiang Baizhu and Xie Junze, and the group gathered in front of Cheng Qi.

After all, he was just a grave watcher, and being looked at by so many people with heads and faces, Cheng Qi was slightly nervous.

However, when it came to Master Xu and Yan's family, he was immediately left with only grief and indignation: "Mrs. and the old man feel (qing) harmony, this is a well-known thing, how could Mrs. betray the master to steal the man?" This is simply nonsense! ”

"Xu Chengyi, that white-eyed wolf! The lord took good care of him when he was still alive, but I didn't expect that as soon as the lord left, he would do such a thing that was inferior to a beast (qing), and slandered Mrs. like this! ”

Seeing that his anger did not seem to be fake, Jiang Baizhu picked up a cup of tea on the table and handed it to him as a reassurance, and then asked, "Pan'er, that child, was born to the Yan family?" ”

Glancing at her a little strangely, Cheng Qi said as a matter of course: "Of course it is, madam."

When I was pregnant, the whole man was very happy, and there were more cases of us every month, which many people know! ”

Nodding, Jiang Baizhu patted him on the shoulder and promised: "Don't worry, we won't wronged any good person, nor will we let go of any bad person!" ”

Cheng Qi was grateful. Xie Junze stared at Jiang Baizhu's restless hand several times, looking a little unhappy.

On the way back, Tang Min and Hu Yufei hadn't been able to completely digest the news they got today.

However, after seeing Jiang Baizhu, Xie Junze and Wu Fu's thoughtful expression, they still wisely chose not to ask for the time being.
