"Not long after the Rongguo Mansion was separated, Lin Sanye's family moved to the south of the city, and now they only have one room in the Rongguo Mansion. Moreover, Duchess Rongguo has moved to Zhuangzi outside the city to recuperate in the past few days, and there is no young grandmother in his family, only a ...... Aunt Wen, who is so pampered that she can't wait to kick Mrs. Zhengtou out of the house! ”

Everyone paused when they heard this, and Lan Zhou took a deep breath: "The slave maid has heard a lot of rumors about the Rongguo Mansion recently, one time it will be said that the Rongguo Duke favored the concubine and killed his wife, and drove the Rongguo Duchess to the Zhuangzi outside the city and ignored it, and the next time there was the news that the Rongguo Duchess was sick and was dying, and today, Aunt Wen loaded several carts of things and went to visit the Rongguo Duchess outside the city with great fanfare!" ”

Xiong Bao'er said "ah" and said: "It seems that this Aunt Wen can not only touch Rongguogong's side, but the entire Rongguo Mansion is about to become her world, and it is not uncommon to touch a note of Hongxian Castle, maybe she thought it was a good thing, so she went to pick it up, but when she saw that it was just a piece of paper, she couldn't recognize what it was, and she didn't dare to ask others, and she didn't know that she had taken the wrong thing!" ”

Qing Ruxu tapped her finger on the corner of the table and said, "There is indeed such a possibility. ”

Bao'er said: "Girl, the Rongguo Mansion is sparse, it is the time to investigate, the slave maid will go to inquire if Aunt Wen has left the house that morning!" ”

"Well, be careful, don't let anyone find out."

………………

Rong Guogong was drunk and unconscious last night, lying on the table in Aunt Wen's room and sleeping until dawn, seeing that no one in the house paid attention to him at all, he stood up angrily and wanted to call everyone in the house over for a lecture, after thinking about it, he felt that this matter was too troublesome, it was better to go out to listen to Xiaoqu and drink some wine, flick his sleeves, and go out again.

The little guy helped him into the carriage and asked, "Master, where are we going today!" ”

Rong Guogong's hangover was still gone, and he had a little headache, "Forget it, don't go to listen to the music, go to Chunshan Xiaoyue Tower to find a place to sleep comfortably for a while!" ”

The little guy was a little hesitant, if the third master happened to be there, they wouldn't have to be blasted out! Rong Guogong said impatiently: "Hurry up, hurry up!" The little guy couldn't do it, so he had to urge the coachman to go to the Xiaoyue Tower in Chunshan.

Early in the morning, there were few people in the Xiaoyue Building of Chunshan, and Rong Guogong went up to the second floor, and saw Shi Yan and Yang Cheng of the Ministry of Rites talking there, "Huh? Brother-in-law! ”

The two of them turned their heads to see that it was him, and they frowned in unison. Shi Yan stood up slowly, saluted him slowly, and reluctantly called his brother-in-law: "Why did my brother-in-law come here?" ”

"Oh, I'm fine, come and rest for a while."

It's really strange to come over early in the morning to rest for a while!

Yang Cheng glanced at Rong Guogong coldly, arched his hand perfunctorily and said hello, and asked: "I heard that Mrs. Zun is very sick, and she moved outside the city a few days ago to recuperate, and she also asked my grandmother to help recuperate, but now I don't know what to do?" ”

"Huh? Your grandmother? Rong Guogong was confused, obviously not knowing about this.

Shi Yan on the side raised his eyebrows, and explained slowly: "Oh, it was Neiko who invited Mrs. Yang's grandmother to recuperate for her aunt." ”

"Oh...... That's right! She didn't tell me! However, Aunt Wen went to visit Zhuangzi with several truckloads of medicinal herbs yesterday, and she should come back at noon. As he spoke, there was a faint look of honor on his face, as if to say: Look at it, the aunts in my house are so capable!

The expression on Yang Cheng's face almost froze, Shi Yan twisted his head to the side, looking left and right, as if he had just been distracted and didn't hear this.

Rong Guogong didn't notice anything, said goodbye to the two with a smile, and found a place to sleep!

Shi Yan sat down again and said embarrassedly: "I'm afraid Brother Yang doesn't know, my brother-in-law...... Alas......" When he said this, a small servant suddenly said back and forth: "Master, Mrs. sent a letter, saying that there was an accident in the Zhuangzi outside the city last night!" ”

Shi Yan stood up suddenly: "What's the matter?" ”

The little guy looked at Yang Cheng, and Shi Yan said: "You said that you are, Mama Wen of the Yang Yu Shi family is still on Zhuangzi!" ”

Only then did the little girl say: "Last night, Aunt Wen touched the room of the Duchess of Rongguo, put arsenic/frost in her teapot, and was caught red-handed!" In a fit of rage, Mrs. beat Aunt Wen to death! At this time, I don't know how to explain to Grandpa Guo, I am seriously ill again, and it is inconvenient for our wife to go out of the city because she is pregnant with Liujia, so I came to find the master and asked you to think of a way. ”

Yang Cheng on the side couldn't help but say: "A concubine, if you do something like poisoning the housemother, it is cheap to kill her, what else do you have to explain?" ”

Shi Yan explained on the side: "Brother Yang doesn't know, this Aunt Wen is a ...... my brother-in-law is very favored."

Yang Cheng is known as the iron-faced imperial history, and he is the least afraid of offending people, besides, the reputation of this Rongguo Gong has long been stinky, he has not participated in Rong Guogong in front of the emperor before, and he hates this person very much. "Hmph, it's just an aunt, no matter how much you pamper it, is it possible to spoil the concubine and kill the wife?"

Shi Yan sighed: "Who said no, otherwise, my aunt would not be sick like this, I heard that this disease comes from qi, who has such a concubine in the backyard, can it save worry?" Look at it, everyone has hid outside the city to recuperate, and this aunt is chasing her out of the city to murder! Speaking of which, it's not my brother-in-law's indulgence! ”

"This Rong Guogong, it's really unbelievable!"

………………

Qingru Xu thought about it, went to her father to tell her about it, and went to Songhe Hall to accompany her grandmother to lunch, and Bao'er came back.

"How did you come back so quickly?"

Xiong Bao'er's face was covered with sweat, she took the handkerchief handed to her by Lan Zhou and wiped it indiscriminately, and then said, "Good news, bad news...... The good news is that around the morning of that day, Aunt Wen did leave the house, and she also returned to the Rongguo Mansion when we estimated, because Aunt Wen asked her subordinates to pack all the medicinal materials in the mansion before going out that day, and prepared to go out of the city to see the Duchess Rongguo in Zhuangzi, so the subordinates remembered it more clearly, and said that Aunt Wen was wearing a goose yellow dress that day. ”

Qing Ruxu hurriedly asked, "What about the bad news?" ”

Xiong Bao'er's face showed a strange expression: "She is dead." ”

"Dead?!"

Qing Ruxu and Lan Zhou asked in unison!

The three of them looked at Xiong Bao'er in surprise, Xiong Bao'er waved her hand and said, "Don't look at me like that, I'm also surprised!" ”

"Why did you die, but I inquired about the reason?"

Bao'er said: "I don't need to inquire, the whole city has spread, saying that Aunt Wen is bold, and then the Duchess of Rongguo is seriously ill, pretending to visit, in fact, she wants to poison the Duchess of Rongguo, and she was caught by the Duchess of Rongguo herself, and she was killed with a cane on the spot!" ”

"What!" It took Lan Zhou a while to react from the shock? "Aunt Wen poisoned the Duchess of Rongguo?"

"Yes, it was said that I put arsenic/frost in the teapot, and I still carried an empty medicine seal containing arsenic/frost in my arms, and the evidence is conclusive."

Qing Ruxu sighed, "It's really unfortunate to rush at this opportunity." ”

Xiong Bao'er was stunned, "What time did the girl say?" ”

Qing Ruxu knew that she had grown up with Xiong Yishan since she was a child and knew very little about the affairs of the back house, so she explained: "Aunt Wen made trouble in the mansion, and the Duchess of Rongguo became ill. After that, she moved out of the house and went to live in Zhuangzi outside the city. Coupled with the rumors since this period of time, it is clear that the Xie family helped the Duchess Rongguo come up with an idea to set up a bureau to clean up this Aunt Wen! But Aunt Wen didn't know it, and she proudly got into someone's trap. ”

"Huh? Is this a deliberate trap by the Duchess of Rongguo? Xiong Bao'er was smart in the end, and she thought of it at once: "I said, under arsenic/frost poisoning, isn't it obvious to tell others that the Duchess of Rongguo was poisoned!" People with a little longer brains will not choose to go under arsenic/cream. ”

Qing Ruxu thought carefully about the cause and effect, and said: "Of course, Aunt Wen herself also has a thought, otherwise what would she do when she went to Zhuangzi to put a hot face on her cold ass?" Presumably, the Duchess of Rongguo is going to do what she wants. Besides, no one cares if an aunt has brains, as long as the stolen goods are obtained and killed directly, there is no proof of death, and Rong Guogong is helpless, not to mention, Yang Yushi's family is present, this matter is confirmed......"

She thought for a moment and raised her eyebrows: "In my opinion, this matter is going to make a big fuss." ”

Shizhou was surprised: "What do you say? ”

"If Duchess Rongguo is willing to let the Xie family help, if she wants to clean up Aunt Wen, she doesn't need to spend so much Zhou Zhang, just rely on Aunt Wen to do it in the mansion, as long as the Xie family comes forward to speak, Aunt Wen is a sold life, and Rong Guogong and Ben dare not refute. But the Xie family didn't do this, they went around in such a big circle, and they also found someone from the Yang Yushi family to 'witness', which shows that the Xie family has a bigger plan. ”

Lan Zhou didn't understand: "What's the picture? Rongguo Gong is full of mansions, except for the name of Rongguo Gong, I'm afraid it's nothing, right? ”

Qing Ruxu smiled lightly: "Xie Jiatu's, isn't it a title!" ”

"Uh...... In this way, the Xie family wants to make a big deal through Aunt Wen's matter, force Duke Rongguo to give up the title, and then let Lin Yi, the eldest son of Duchess Rongguo, attack the title early? ”

"That's right, I think that's what they were going to do." Qing Ruxu admired the Xie family's neatness in handling affairs, and said: "Duchess Rongguo has endured Rongguo Gong for so many years, and has been fighting with the concubines in the mansion for so long, in order to let the good-for-nothing eldest son Lin Yi be able to attack the lord smoothly, and she will have a settlement in the second half of her life, and she will be stable in her old age as a mother, but she still loses to Rongguogong's muddy temperament. This time, the Xie family made a move, just to give Rong Guogong a good look, without the title, Rong Guogong is a complete mud! ”

Xiong Bao'er suddenly scratched her head on the side, and said in her heart: Huh? Isn't that what Childe is for? Yesterday, a big brother told her that Rong Guogong was going to be unlucky, it turned out that it was because of this?
