What the?! Wang Meiru is not dead?!

All the Xie family members who heard Xie Xianzhi read this sentence were taken aback.

Even Xie Xianzhi himself was stunned, and after reading this sentence, he didn't read the letter any further. He looked at his family a little helplessly, and then looked at Xie Jinzhi: "Second brother...... You have also been to the Wang family, and you have seen the situation after the fire in the Wang family, and the people of the Wang family all said that Wang Angui's wife and daughter died in the fire, and the corpses are all there, so it can't be fake, isn't it? ”

Xie Jinzhi frowned: "We did hear what the onlookers said, and the people in the government also said that Wang Angui's family had died in the fire, but since what was found in the fire was a scorched corpse, it is difficult to say whether it is Wang Angui's wife and daughter." ”

Xie Mulin also said: "From this point of view, it may not be without a reason. Wang Angui's wife heard that it was before the fire, so she dismissed all the members of the family. After the fire, few of these subordinates went back. But because few people went back, no one could tell if there were any original descendants of the Wang family in those scorched corpses. It is not impossible to say that Wang Angui's wife and daughter took the girl and mother-in-law to pretend to be themselves, burned to death in the fire, and then took the opportunity to escape. But they must have a helper for this kind of thing, otherwise how can two weak women escape under the noses of the Wang family? How can you find a safe place to hide after escaping? Besides, the government will always keep someone watching, right? The Wang family was a family member of the criminal official at that time, and they had already been sentenced to exile and were about to be escorted on the road. Aren't the people in the government worried that they will escape? ”

Xie Huizhi thought for a while: "So...... During that time, Wang Angui's sister was Cheng Er's grandmother in Ningguohou's Mansion, and Cheng Du's aunt seemed to have gone to Pingnanbo's Mansion several times. Originally, because Wang Angui died in prison for unknown reasons, she had a quarrel with Cheng Erye, and she made a big fuss in Nanbo's Mansion in Pingping, and was also confined by her mother-in-law's family. But later, she didn't see what Ping Nanbo's Mansion did, so she reconciled with Mrs. Ping Nanbo, and the aunt and sister-in-law were like sisters. After Ping Nanbo's death, it was rumored that Mrs. Ning Guohou turned her face and didn't recognize anyone, and she didn't even care about her daughter and grandson, and the family was not allowed to have any more dealings with Pingnanbo's mansion, but Cheng's second grandmother actually disobeyed her mother-in-law's order, and still ran to Pingnanbo's mansion again and again, saying that she was to comfort Mrs. Pingnanbo...... Could it be that there is something greasy here? ”

Xie Mulin opened his mind: "Could it be that Grandma Cheng Er begged Mrs. Ping Nanbo to rescue Wang Angui's wife and daughter, so she didn't hold a grudge against the eldest sister for Wang Angui's death?" I remember that Mrs. Ping Nanbo used to hold the Wang family very much, because Wang Meiru was pleasing to the prince, and she even did not hesitate to be ruthless to our Xie family for Wang Meiru's father. It's not surprising that they are already a gang and will continue to collude. But Ping Nanbo and his wife were able to kill Wang Angui at the beginning, so why did they want to save Wang Meiru? ”

Xie Huizhi blinked, looked at Xie Xianzhi, and then lowered his voice and said, "Because Wang Meiru is very pleasing to the prince?" ”

At this time, Wanqin, who has always only stood on the side and pretended to be wallflowers, spoke: "The eldest girl of the Wang family is a rare beauty, and when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw her, he fell in love with her and was determined to marry her back to the East Palace." Miss Wang wants a high position, but the position of the crown princess, the Cao family will not give it no matter what. On the side of the Chengenhou Mansion, I am afraid that I don't want the prince to favor a woman who is not surnamed Cao, and it is very likely that the eldest girl will not like the eyes, and even the position of Liangdi will be reluctant to give it away. But Pingnanbo is different. Ping Nanbo and Mrs. Bo both felt that the Wang family was their in-laws, and they could handle Miss Wang. If the eldest girl Wang gains power in the East Palace and can let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince get closer to the Pingnan Bo Mansion, then even if the position of the crown princess falls to the head of the Chengenhou Mansion, it will not matter. ”

Xie Yingfen looked at Wanqin: "But Wang Angui died with the reputation of committing suicide in fear of crime, and Wang Meiru was also sentenced to exile, can she still enter the palace?" ”

Wanqin smiled slightly, her face was unfathomable, but she didn't answer.

Xie Mulin said to his sister: "If you can't enter the palace openly, it doesn't mean that you can't change your name and surname to enter the palace." When the time comes, it will only be said that people are similar, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will love her more, and it can also be explained that he is empathetic because of that face. ”

However, this method can only deceive ordinary people, and anyone who is smarter can see what is going on. Wang Meiru is already a young girl who has reached the end of her life, her behavior and habits have been formed, and there are many people who have seen her, how can she become another person so easily? The Cao family and the Cheng family have a grudge against her for killing her father, if she really enters the East Palace and is favored, what benefits can she bring to the Cao family? At that time, I am afraid that if she doesn't make a move, Queen Cao will kill her first.

Wen pressed his chest, his face pale: "Can this kind of thing be faked?" The fire in the Wang family really burned more than one person! If the wives and daughters of the Wang family really used this method to escape, how cruel would the means be? ! She couldn't help but look at Xie Xianzhi, "If Pingnanbo Mansion really did such a thing, what was it for?!" ”

Xie Xianzhi was speechless, in fact, he couldn't understand his uncle's thoughts. He is a serious reader, and although he has experienced many blows and sufferings, he is still a little naïve. In any case, he could not agree with the Cao family's practice of harming and killing people at every turn in order to compete for power and profit. The true face of his uncle's family was too different from what he once thought, and he only wanted to doubt life now.

Xie Jinzhi saw that his face was pale, so he whispered: "Big brother, what did the big sister say later?" Is this news true or false? ”

Xie Xianzhi came back to his senses, let out an "oh", sat up straight a little uncomfortably, and looked down at the letter again.

Xie Yinghui also said in the letter that it is rumored that Wang Meiru is not dead, and the crown prince refuses to obey the orders of Empress Cao and chooses the crown princess who suits her heart, which is probably because of this. He has now selected three candidates for the crown princess, either from a civil official family with no real power, or from an old noble family with a slightly depressed background, and one of them has a very unlikable temperament to the queen mother. In short, these three ladies, no matter which one ends up on the throne of the crown princess, will never be loved by the queen mother and the queen, the two giants of the harem. Their mother's family does not have enough power and strength, and they only have one identity left. If the prince is not favored in the future, then the position of the crown princess will be unstable. Even if she doesn't like which prince's favorite concubine at that time, it is estimated that she will not be able to set off the storm.

Rumor has it that the reason why the prince took such pains was to prepare for Wang Meiru to enter the East Palace. His infatuation with Wang Meiru seems to be more than before, and he is already a little dizzy. Xie Yinghui said that when she and Ma Yurong discussed in private, they all felt that if the rumors were true, the prince was really a fool!

However, Xie Yinghui is also very curious, where did this rumor come from? seems to be worthy of the prince's actions, but this kind of confidential matter, the reasoning should not be known to everyone.

She wanted to go to Pingnanbo's Mansion to find out, so she handed a post to Pingnanbo's Mansion under the pretext of sending a Mid-Autumn Festival gift.

The echo from Pingnanbo's mansion was that Mrs. Pingnanbo suddenly fell ill because of the wind and cold, and it was inconvenient to see the guests. Xie Yinghui, as a niece, asked to visit the patient, but was also categorically rejected by the other side.

Xie Yinghui had to ask the housekeeper of the Yongning Eldest Princess's Mansion to help, and asked the Tai Hospital which imperial doctor went to Pingnanbo's Mansion to see a doctor, and asked Mrs. Pingnanbo how her condition was, which was full of a good niece who was obedient and courteous.

However, the news from the Tai Hospital was that the Tai Nan Bo Mansion did not invite the Tai Doctor to come to the door, but some Tai Doctor got the news that Mrs. Ping Nanbo had invited another private doctor to see her, as if she was too frightened and couldn't sleep at night, but she was not seriously ill.

Xie Yinghui suspected that the rumor was true, but the news leaked out, and it didn't benefit Pingnanbofu at all, so Pingnanbofu was sick.
