Chapter 241: An Unacceptable Concubine

I thought that this case should be very simple, and if you enter the Kang Mansion to check it, you can reveal the truth, who knew that the Kang family turned out to be wonderful, the uncle was infertile and turned to self-cultivation and fasting and chanting Buddha, the cousin is a taciturn autism, and the third uncle is an old and indecent pervert!

Li Mi discussed with Xiong Tingbi Suo Changsheng, but he couldn't come to a conclusion, so he could only continue to interrogate other people in the mansion.

Everyone's statement is also very consistent, the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet of the Kang family is actually very simple, so simple that there is no doubt.

Because they are on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, all the heirs of the Kang family must fast!

The cooks were in full swing, and all the people who ran on the ground and swam in the sky and in the water were served on the table, but in fact they were only used as sacrifices, and the whole Kang family abstained from drinking and fasting, in order to commemorate Kang Maocai, the prince of Qiguo.

It is said that Kang Maocai followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight in the south and the north, and when he attacked Chen Youliang, the two armies confronted each other and fell into a stalemate.

Kang Maocai gave all the remaining food to the soldiers, and he starved for several days, and the soldiers were encouraged to finally win the battle.

After Zhu Yuanzhang learned about it, he was very appreciative of Kang Maocai, so he set the rules, and Kang Maocai's Mid-Autumn Festival fasting was based on the merits of Kang Maocai.

Later, Kang Mao died on the battlefield, and Zhu Yuanzhang wept a lot, so he wrote this rule into the family rules of the Kang family, and the descendants of the Kang family must abide by it.

But more than a hundred years have passed, and the rules are gradually no longer kept, and the Kang family's fasting is just a superficial effort, in fact, after getting off the dinner table, they can still eat and drink when they return to their respective courtyards.

In other words, Kang Chunxia did not eat at the family banquet, because everyone was not eating, but was performing the ritual of fasting.

After the ceremony, they went back to their respective courtyards before they began to eat and drink, and Kang Chunxia's Mid-Autumn Festival Gu should also be the Gu in his own yard!

Kang Chunxia's father died early, and this room was managed by his mother, in addition, it was a concubine of his father, that is, Kang Chunxia's second aunt, although the second aunt gave birth to a daughter, but the eldest lady regarded it as her own, but it was also harmonious, not as noisy as other courtyards.

Mrs. Kang is in charge of the big business, and she is most afraid of making trouble at home, the uncle and the third uncle are making the old lady hurt her brain, like Kang Chunxia Courtyard is so peaceful, how can you not be happy?

Kang Chunxia's mother, Shen, has been taking care of Kang Chunxia, knowing that Suo Changsheng is the benefactor who saves his life, and he welcomes the arrival of Li Mi and others.

Li Mi did not hide it, after all, this is Kang Chunxia's biological mother, tiger poison does not eat children, even if Kang Chunxia is not in every way, he is also an extremely filial person, Shen can be excluded, Li Mi told all the inside story to Shen, and naturally hoped to get her support.

When Shen heard this, she was filled with grief and indignation, because her husband died young, she could only be a person with her tail between her legs in the Kang family, she was kind everywhere, she had no quarrel with others, and she was very tolerant of the people in the hospital, who would have thought that someone would give her son a trick!

Looking at Kang Chunxia now, the Shen family was even more angry, and immediately gathered the people in the entire courtyard.

Li Mi also hurriedly told her not to be too anxious, to avoid startling the snake, just provide a list of people who had contact with Kang Chunxia at that time, and Li Mi and others would investigate.

Shen was trustworthy to Li Mi, so he said to Li Mi: "On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, there was a fasting in the house, because my uncle secretly took medicine, and the old lady was thunderous, so the fasting was longer than in previous years, and I didn't return to my respective courtyards until the second half of the night. ”

"The concubine has a habit, she won't eat again after the meal, she only drank a bowl of osmanthus dew before going to bed, and then fell asleep, Chunxia, the child loves to be lively, but the house doesn't go out to mess around, so he set up a banquet in the courtyard, and invited Chunyun and uncle, because it is his own family, he didn't shy away too much, and Lihua's sister and several concubines from her uncle's family also participated......"

"The wine and food are all prepared in my yard, and the concubine has already fallen asleep at that time, and she is too lazy to care, it should be Lihua's sister who is in charge of ......"

Shen also remembers it clearly, after all, it was just two or three months ago, although she has no quarrel with the world, but she lives in the mansion compound, all these years, if she doesn't keep an eye on everything, how can she live?

This Lihua's sister should be Kang Chunxia's second aunt Zhang Lihua, if in the future life, it is normal for the family to have a lively dinner, but it was different at that time.

Although it is a family, it is also necessary to avoid suspicion, it was already the second half of the night, Zhang Lihua was a concubine, her husband died early, and his uncle Kang Zongtuo was a mouse-like person, who drilled when he saw a hole, no matter what, it was a little inappropriate to make a table after all, and it was not good to spread the reputation.

However, the information provided by the Shen family also made the three of Li Mi feel a little excited, because they thought they were eating in their own yard, but they didn't expect Kang Chunyun and Kang Zongyu to be there!

In this way, almost all of these suspects got together!

But when Li Mi asked Kang Zongtuo, Kang Chunyun and others, they didn't say that they had a banquet with Kang Chunxia, let alone the courtyard of the second room!

Maybe they are also avoiding suspicion, knowing that this kind of thing can't be publicized to the outside world, but it's hard to guarantee that they are not using this excuse to clear themselves!

At this time, Suo Changsheng asked the Shen family: "It's a banquet set up by Mrs. Lihua, I don't know if you prepared osmanthus wine at that time?" ”

"How do you know!" When Suo Changsheng asked like this, the Shen family couldn't help but be taken aback, and replied to Li Mi and the others.

"Sister Lihua is still young, my short-lived husband died early, and I also wronged this little sister, she has nothing to do horizontally, she likes to tidy up some things by herself, this osmanthus wine and osmanthus dew are made by Lihua's sister, in addition to osmanthus, there are other patterns, as long as it is something related to flowers, flower cakes, flower cakes, flower wine, she will make ......"

"Sir, are you saying that there is a problem with the osmanthus wine? But they all drank it, why did Dujing Pure Xia fall for the Gu? Although Lihua sister is greedy for fun, but I really cherish my mother and son, after the husband leaves, I have to keep a funeral day and night, she is taking care of Chunxia for three or four years, and Chunxia also relies on her, sometimes closer than me, how will she not hurt Chunxia! ”

Shen Shi was inevitably a little excited, and Li Mi also hurriedly explained: "Don't be impatient, the eldest lady, let's just talk about the matter, and we haven't targeted anyone, let alone made a conclusion, the truth has not yet been revealed, everyone is suspected, but no one is guilty, Madame doesn't have to be so nervous......"

Although he was so comforting, Li Mi inevitably had some doubts, although Suo Changsheng told Shen that Kang Chunxia had fallen for Gu, he didn't tell her more details, she didn't know that osmanthus wine could cause Gu poison.

As soon as Suo Changsheng asked about the osmanthus wine, she immediately excused Zhang Lihua, saying that Zhang Lihua would not harm Kang Chunxia, which is also unavoidable that there are no three hundred taels of silver here, and some want to cover it up, can it be said that this Zhang Lihua really has a problem?

Li Mi thought about it, so he asked Shen to stay outside, and walked into the inner room by himself, at this time Kang Chunxia was leaning against the head of the bed, and his improvement was much better.

Li Mi did not shy away from it, and said to Kang Chunxia: "You heard the conversation between me and the eldest lady, right?" ”

Kang Chunxia looked a little weak-hearted, and didn't dare to look at Li Mi, but he still nodded slightly, and Li Mi asked directly: "I asked you earlier in the guild hall, and now I ask you again, if someone in the mansion wants to harm you, who do you think of first, and who is most likely?" ”

Kang Chunxia was a little excited, suddenly raised his head, and said to Li Mi: "It will definitely not be the second aunt, she will not treat me like this!" ”

Xu is he also realized his gaffe, hurriedly turned his head again, and after a while, he said softly: "It won't be the second aunt......"

Li Mi nodded, but said lightly: "I know." ”

Li Mi didn't ask any more questions, turned around and was about to leave, and after a few steps, he turned around and asked Kang Chunxia.

"I suddenly thought of changing the way, let me ask you, who is the least likely to harm you in this house?"

Kang Chunxia didn't think about it, so he said to Li Mi: "Naturally, it's the second aunt!" ”

Li Mi sighed lightly, and Chao Kang Chunxia continued to ask, "What about the eldest lady and the old lady?" Aren't they as good as the second aunt? ”

If it is said that Kang Chunxia is a brainless person, eager to excuse the second aunt, he blurted out, and now Li Mi has put the old lady and the eldest lady on the table, but Kang Chunxia shook his head and said.

"It's different...... The second aunt and their ...... It's different......"

Li Mi walked to the side of the bed and looked directly at Kang Chunxia, but Kang Chunxia didn't dare to look up at people, just buried his head deeply, with shame on his face, but tears fell on the quilt.

Li Mi also knew it in his heart, and he didn't lift the last veil, if this kind of thing is broken, it will not be good for anyone, but it is really a little difficult to accept.

Only then did she turn around and was about to leave, Li Mi was also shocked, because the eldest lady Shen was standing behind the curtain in the inner room, her face was blue at this time, but the two tears were rolling down silently, she must have heard it, and she also knew what it meant!

"Big lady......" Li Mi was just about to explain, Kang Chunxia on the bed also raised his head suddenly, his face turned pale instantly, and he rolled out of bed, crawled over in pain, hugged the eldest lady's leg and cried.

"Mother, things are not as unbearable as you think, the second aunt is also suffering, the child is also in love, and the situation at that time is also involuntarily, mother!"

Although Kang Chunxia tried his best to defend himself, this is tantamount to admitting this ugly matter, no matter what the inside story is, such a chaotic thing is actually done by a righteous man and a gentleman, it is simply something that a beast does!

The eldest lady was kind to people everywhere and never got angry, but at this time, she kicked her son away, walked outside, and ordered the slaves and maids outside: "Come on, go and detain Zhang Lihua's cheap maid for me!" ”

The slaves and maids had never seen the eldest lady so angry, and how could they dare to hesitate, even when they arrived in the courtyard, they invited the second lady over.

Li Mi looked at it, but saw that the two ladies were also less than thirty, it is said that Kang Chunxia's father only accepted this concubine room shortly before his death, and Kang Chunxia was already eleven or twelve years old at that time, according to the age calculation, the age difference between the two is not very big, so things are not very clear.

This Lihua is also really amazing, no wonder there are legends in the house that the second young man of the Kang family died suddenly because he was obsessed with Zhang Lihua's beauty, and it is no wonder that everyone admires the mind of the eldest lady.

Zhang Lihua didn't figure out the situation even after thinking about it, but when she saw Shen's angry face, she stepped forward and saluted Shen: "Which one didn't annoy my sister for a long time?" ”

Shen Shi trembled all over, still crying expressionlessly, and raising his hand was a slap!

"Smack!"
