On this day, Chungui listened to the etiquette and elegance at Sergeant Ruan's place as usual, and rushed to visit the fourth lady and her third sister, who was born white and fat, but did not want to meet the third lady in person, which made Chungui feel flattered, and hurriedly wanted to salute politely, but his arm was supported and pulled, which made Chungui more and more confused.

The third lady has always been humble and gentle, but in addition to the fourth lady, she rarely shows such intimacy, and the sense of distance between contacts has been properly controlled, which makes it difficult for the close spring to return, worried that too obvious diligence will lead to the resistance of the third lady, but not being able to get the support of the third lady will obviously make her plan more difficult, and her heart is really inevitably anxious, but now there is a sudden turnaround, how not to make the spring return surprised and happy?

What she didn't expect was the third lady's next words: "Brother Ting's daughter-in-law, don't be polite to me, I have something to ask for today, and I hope that Brother Ting's daughter-in-law can help." ”

While speaking, he had already arrived in the fourth lady's room, and Chungui saw that there was no more idle here, and the third lady's henchman and maidservant were still standing outside the curtain to prevent ears and eyes from snooping, which was clearly a posture to talk secretly.

He also said that although the third lady was determined, but in the end, she felt that the next conversation was a little shallow and deep for the relationship between her and Chungui, and there was some hesitation in her expression, or the fourth lady was very frank and took the lead in breaking the theme: "It is a troublesome matter for the third sister-in-law's own family, and now it is only the third sister-in-law who secretly suspects that this matter is extremely important, but it can't be publicized to the outside world, it is because I think Chun'er, you are smart and meticulous, maybe you can solve this problem for the third sister-in-law." ”

Chungui understood and hurriedly said: "No matter whether I can help the third sister-in-law or not, my mouth will definitely be closed." ”

The third lady then talked about the family: "My family is three brothers and sisters, I do two, there is a brother above and a younger brother below, the eldest brother and sister-in-law are childhood sweethearts, and after marriage, they are naturally respectful to each other, but the children in front of them have all died one after another, no matter how carefully the brother and sister-in-law take care of them, none of them survived." Later, my sister-in-law easily gave birth to another son, that is, my nephew Kang Ge'er, who was picked up by me two days ago...... For this reason, my brother and sister-in-law invited many doctors to diagnose and treat Kang Ge'er, but strangely no one could determine what illness Kang Ge'er had. ”

Chungui originally wanted to ask if he had invited Qiao Zhuang to see it, but suddenly realized that the nephew of the third lady was now seven years old, and Qiao Zhuang was afraid that he had not learned medical skills seven years ago.

"But now I look at the situation of the cousin of the Wu family, and he is not weak." Spring Returns.

Later, I heard a monk say that the life of the sister-in-law turned out to be a child, if you want Kang Ge'er to be cured, either the brother divorces his wife and marries another person to let Kang Ge'er recognize others as his mother-in-law, or he can only pass Kang Ge'er to others, and he can't have the name of mother and son with his sister-in-law. Of course, my brother did not want to divorce his wife, and my father and my brother-in-law were also very friendly, my sister-in-law met the death of both parents when she was young, my father was invited by a friend to entrust the orphan, not only raised my sister-in-law, but also saw that my brother and sister-in-law had a similar temperament, so it contributed to this marriage, of course, my father did not want to be reluctant to abandon my sister-in-law with his friends, and he didn't want to listen to Fangshi's words, but seeing that Kang Ge'er's child was getting sicker, he finally decided to pass Kang Ge'er to my younger brother in a room. ”

The third lady sighed when she said this: "What my father originally thought was that Brother Kang passed on to his uncle in his own family, and his brother and sister-in-law are not unseen, so they can also comfort their reluctance, and they will end."

It is not that the flesh and blood are completely separated, but it is said that since Kang Ge'er's adoption, his body has indeed gradually improved, and by the time he was three or four years old, he had completely recovered. Brother and sister-in-law are the only son of Kang Ge'er who survives, of course my sister-in-law can't ignore Kang Ge'er, but Kang Ge'er doesn't know why, since the time of governor, he has hated his sister-in-law very much, can my sister-in-law not feel sad?

There is also my brother-in-law, who treats Kang Ge'er as if she were a parent, and even more loving than her parents, because her sister-in-law often approaches Kang Ge'er, she is extremely unhappy in her heart, and the two of them quarrel constantly, at first we all thought that the brother-in-law was afraid that Kang Ge'er would be offended by his sister-in-law again, in short, the brother-in-law was also for the sake of Kang Ge'er, so both my mother and I blindly persuaded my sister-in-law, but later, I ...... I became suspicious, and I always felt that my brother-in-law looked at my brother's eyes......"

The third lady paused when she said this, and felt that it was difficult to speak, but the words had reached such an extent, and there was no reason to hide her choking, so she took a deep breath and said: "I suspect that my brother-in-law has bad thoughts about my brother, and then I suspect it...... Maybe the children of my brother and sister-in-law who died young, including Kang Ge'er, who were seriously ill shortly after birth, were man-made. ”

Chungui was stunned: "The third uncle and aunt suspect that your nephews and nieces who died before they were poisoned?!" ”

The fourth lady said quickly: "The third sister-in-law does have such suspicions. ”

"But the brother and sister-in-law of the third uncle and mother have repeatedly suffered the pain of losing their son, are they completely unguarded? Even if it may be difficult for the doctor to be hired outside to diagnose whether it is poisoned, if the wife of the in-law takes care of it herself, it should not give others a chance. Chungui thought that the third lady's suspicion was a bit unreasonable.

Although the children of large families are generally mainly taken care of by the nursing mother when they are infants, how can the mother ignore them? Not to mention that the third lady's brother and sister-in-law have died so many children one after another, how can you not be careful in the selection of nursing mothers and servants? If the third lady's brother-in-law is really vicious, how can she avoid so many ears and eyes to commit murder?

The third lady knew that Chungui was not questioning for no reason, and hurriedly explained: "Although my father said that the official worships Shangshu, but my family is not an official eunuch family, and the family was originally poor...... They are all children taken care of by the sister-in-law, but they still can't avoid the children dying one after another.

Sister-in-law because she has always been unguarded against her brother-in-law, and she is really unable to take care of the child alone, she will rarely let her brother-in-law occasionally help, and when her sister-in-law gave birth to Brother Kang, she was nearly forty years old, although she had entered Beijing at that time, and her family situation had greatly improved compared with before, but her sister-in-law still did not worry about handing over Brother Kang to the servant to take care of, but her sister-in-law's own body was not as good as before, and many times she had to worry about her brother-in-law staring at the nursing mother, for fear that people would be negligent. ”

That is to say, the younger sister-in-law of the third lady did have the opportunity to commit murder.

But the point is that it's all based on Mio's suspicions.

Chungui asked again: "Is it only because of the current conflict between the two uncles and wives of the in-law that the third uncle and mother have such suspicions?" ”

"Nope." The third lady flatly denied: "Over the years, I have really noticed the younger sister-in-law's ambition towards the eldest brother. ”

After she said this categorically, she frowned tightly, as if she was a little difficult how to explain such determination, and seemed to have a little more inexplicable complex emotions, so that Chungui actually tasted it

There was an inexplicable sense of shame.

"In short, I can almost confirm that my brother-in-law has intentions for my brother, and it is not in the past few years, when I think about it, my brother-in-law has just entered the door, and it seems that my brother's gaze is unusual."

The fourth lady waited for the third lady to finish speaking, and then explained to Chungui: "When the third sister-in-law's younger brother married a wife, although the third sister-in-law had already decided to marry, but because Wu Shibo was still released, the third sister-in-law and the third uncle did not get married, so the third sister-in-law and her brother-in-law lived under the same roof for a period of time, and the third sister-in-law was not suspicious and jealous, and I always felt that the third sister-in-law's suspicion was not unreasonable." ”

"Before the brother-in-law entered the door, the eldest brother and sister-in-law already had a pair of children under their knees, at that time Brother Yuan was three or four years old, Sister Hui was still babbling, it was Sister Hui who was infected with the disease first, brother and sister-in-law were anxious, and for a while there was some carelessness about Brother Yuan, at that time, in addition to Brother Yuan's nursing mother, there were only two old servants, one was a janitor, one was responsible for sweeping and washing, three meals a day were cooked by my mother, I would also help to lay a hand, my brother-in-law entered the door, and my mother asked my brother-in-law to help her cook and eat, let me help my brother and sister-in-law take care of Brother Yuan first." The third lady turned red as she spoke: "Brother Yuan was in the age of playfulness at that time, and she pestered me to hide and seek, but I didn't expect the door in the backyard to be open that day, and I didn't know when Brother Yuan ran out...... Later, although I found Brother Yuan back in time, my mother blamed me for being too negligent, so she didn't let me take care of Brother Yuan anymore, but my brother-in-law took care of Brother Yuan for a while. ”

The fourth lady had obviously heard the third lady talk about these causes and consequences, and when she saw that the third lady was so sad when she recalled the past, she helped and said: "Sister Hui'er's condition is getting worse, and Brother Yuan'er actually began to have a high fever, burning so much that she was unconscious, and then she couldn't eat and drink, vomited and discharged, and it didn't take long for her to ......."

"Brother Yuan died a few days earlier than Sister Hui." The third lady could no longer hold back her tears when she said this.

Chungui didn't rush to speak, and only after the third lady's mood calmed down a little did he hear her continue: "The symptoms of Brother Yuan and Sister Hui's children are still different, only Brother Yuan has a high fever and is delirious, I have been suspicious in the past few years, so I secretly speculated...... Brother and sister-in-law's children, only Brother Yuan was raised to the age of three or four and knew some personnel, could it be that the younger brother and sister-in-law were afraid that he would say something unfavorable, so he deliberately caused Brother Yuan'er to have a high fever and become delirious? ”

Chungui felt that the idea of the third lady was really ...... Bizarre and paradoxical.

"In my cognition, it seems that I have never heard of a poison that can make people feel unclear about high fever, so I said that in the case of the Wang family in Fenyang, the mother of the Wang family was confirmed to be a chronic poison after Qiao Zhuang's inspection, and the poison is said to be a secret thing from the inner court of the previous dynasty, but it did not cause confusion and inability to speak, and I don't know if the wife of the in-law can obtain such a strange poison?" Chun Gui actually wanted to inquire about the origin of the third lady's younger sister-in-law.

"At that time, my father served as the general judge of Pingliang Mansion, and coincidentally became a colleague with an old man, that is, my brother-in-law's uncle, who was in Pingliangfu at that time, and it was even more coincidental that my brother-in-law's biological mother also had a handkerchief with my mother in the past, and the two families could be regarded as poor friends. My brother-in-law's surname is He, although my father is also a hard worker, but after winning the show, there is no inch, so I have to follow my brother-in-law to make a living, but my father very much agrees with He Shi's father's character, so He Shi's father revealed the meaning of marriage, and his father agreed to it, and his mother was even more happy that the daughter who could make a handkerchief was her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the question of Brother Ting's daughter-in-law was ...... Indeed, I do not understand that my brother-in-law came from a poor background, and there is indeed no way to obtain such a kind of evil that can kill people in the invisible. ”

But the third lady obviously won't dispel her suspicions because of this.
