Chapter 41: The Flower Thief (13)
"Miss, do you really doubt the old couple?" Sanyuan saw that Jiang Mingzhu seemed to be very interested in the old Chen family, the east family sat down, the west family asked, and all the inquiries were about the old Chen family, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad and dissatisfied.
It's enough for Miss to mess around, why embarrass a pair of old people, others are already pitiful enough.
"Isn't this to see their pity and want to seek justice for you?" Jiang Mingzhu came out of the alley and went straight back to Prince Rui's mansion, fortunately, Prince Rui had already returned at this time.
"Dad, please help me with something." In the study, Jiang Mingzhu said to Prince Rui.
Prince Rui's eyelids moved, "When do you learn to be polite, you will say please." ”
"Hehe, isn't this my daughter growing up?" Jiang Mingzhu flattered and stepped forward to pinch Prince Rui's shoulder.
Her strength is greater than that of ordinary women, and with a little effort, she kneades it very well, and Prince Rui narrows his eyes in satisfaction.
"Tell me, what's the matter with you?" Prince Rui said slowly.
"I want you to check someone for me." Jiang Mingzhu told Prince Rui about the old Chen family.
"You want me to find out where the daughter-in-law of that family has gone?"
"If you don't say that my father is wise and martial, you can guess accurately."
"Okay, don't slap me on the back, I'll have someone check it for you tomorrow."
"Better today, I hope to get a little bit of news in the afternoon, whatever it is."
"In such a hurry?"
"No way, the flower thief won't give me time to think about it."
"What, do you think this family has something to do with flower thieves?"
"I don't know, I always feel that this family looks a little out of harmony, but I didn't understand it for a while."
"Okay, I'll try my best, don't go back at night, just eat at the house, I'll have someone stew ginseng chicken soup for you."
"Sure enough, it's still good to be a father, and a child with a father is like a treasure."
Not to mention that Jiang Mingzhu would be a sycophant, and the phone call made Prince Rui feel comfortable.
At dinner, I really found out a little bit of news, about the daughter-in-law of the Chen family, the other party's surname is Zheng, because the Zheng family has many children, and the Zheng family will not take a name, so they directly named the daughter-in-law of the Chen family Zheng Erya according to the birth order.
Zheng Erya's family is notoriously poor, how poor it is, most of the people can't open the pot all year round, all the children are wearing patched clothes, just such a family, Zheng Erya is so generous.
Because of her poverty, Zheng Erya cares a lot about money, she wants to make a lot of money, and she has a strong temperament.
Seeing that they have reached the age of marriage, some people are also ready to move, but the bride price offered by the Zheng family is too high, and they directly stop those people at the door.
The old Chen family was also anxious to marry a daughter-in-law at this time, and when they heard about Zheng Erya, they came to the door and took out their life savings to set up this family business.
The two families also talked about the day of marriage, but it seems that Zheng Erya doesn't like the Chen family's son very much, but because of money, she has to swallow her anger, but she usually has a bad temper in front of the Chen family's son, and often has a cold face......
These are exactly the same as the rhetoric of the Chen family's neighbors.
But Zheng Erya's mother said that although her daughter has a strong temperament, she will never elope with someone.
This is a bit interesting, the Chen family said that Zheng Erya eloped with a cloth merchant, but the Zheng family said that it would never be.
Which side is lying?
"If you really want to elope, the day after you don't get married, you will leave a letter." Prince Rui said as if he didn't care.
Jiang Mingzhu's eyes lit up, and he looked at Prince Rui very cutely, "Why?" ”
"Leaving a letter is leaving a handle for criticism, and if you really want to elope, you will run away on the day of marriage."
"Makes sense." Jiang Mingzhu nodded, thought for a while, and then planned to go out.
"Where are you going?" When Prince Rui saw Jiang Mingzhu talking, he was about to leave.
"I'll look for Luo Hengfei and them." Jiang Mingzhu left in a hurry.
……
It was almost the middle of the night, and the clouds were thick tonight, covering the moon and stars in the sky, and there was no light in sight.
"I'll go, why do I go over the wall again." I only heard a man complain.
"It's not that I haven't turned it over, hurry up." A woman's voice also whispered.
They are none other than Jiang Mingzhu.
Jiang Mingzhu gathered Luo Hengfei and the others, told her discovery again, and said that she would visit the Chen Mansion at night.
At that time, Zhuo Yuanlie and several people wanted to beat Jiang Mingzhu, you all found this, why didn't you say it earlier.
Thanks to them, they had the courage to come to their father, and asked about the flower thief with a shy face.
In short, the process was very cruel, they were reprimanded for more than an hour, hey, these years of good deeds, no one believes it, is it because their usual character is too bad, they even feel that they are messing around.
Qian Ningzhi was a little miserable, he was standing under the window of the study and eavesdropping on the conversation between his father and his second brother, and then he was caught by a guard, and then there was the mixed doubles between his father and his second brother, and the past was unbearable.
"What's the smell of this yard?" Zhuo Yuanlie was the first to come down and hurriedly covered his nose.
There seems to be something else mixed in with the stench, which is disgusting anyway.
"Isn't it Nightshade?" Sanyuan was the second to jump in, and she also smelled this smell, it was too bad.
"Vomit~" Qian Ningzhi directly regurgitated.
"I went, I didn't smell it during the day." Jiang Mingzhu covered her mouth and nose with her sleeve.
"Corpse stench." Luo Hengfei said suddenly.
"What's that?" Several people were puzzled and didn't understand the meaning.
"Smell it well, is it a corpse smell." Luo Hengfei said to Jiang Mingzhu.
Jiang Mingzhu lowered his sleeves and gently sniffed the smell in the air, it was really a smell of corpses.
How can there be a corpse smell here?
Without dwelling on them, they searched for the place with the strongest smell, and the smell seemed to come from a room on the east side.
"Do you want to go in?" Zhuo Yuanlie asked in a low voice.
"Enter." Jiang Mingzhu did not hesitate, since he came, of course he had to go in.
In order not to alarm the people of the Chen family, several people tiptoed the door open, and then tiptoed shut.
"Hey, I'll go, I can't stand it, I'll wait for you in the yard" Qian Ningzhi couldn't stand it and ran out as soon as he entered.
"I'll be waiting for you in the yard too." Zhuo Yuanlie and Xu Batian couldn't stand this strong pungent smell and ran out one after another.
"If you want to go out, you can wait for me outside." Jiang Mingzhu said it to Sanyuan.
"Thank you, miss." Sanyuan escaped out of the room.
"Mingzhu, it's up to you." Luo Hengfei couldn't stand it for a long time and withdrew from the door.
"None of them are reliable." Jiang Mingzhu said after all, opened the fire fold and wanted to see what the situation was.
As soon as she opened it, she almost screamed in fright.
A woman sat in a coffin, looking at her vacantly.
Judging from the clothes, the other party was wearing a red wedding dress, the corpse seemed to have used some secret method, and it was not particularly badly decomposed, her face was pale, her long hair was shawl, and her eyes were wide, as if she was frightened before she died, but the smell of decay emitted by her body made people nauseate.
"Zheng Erya?" Jiang Mingzhu blurted out a name.
