Chapter 180: An Unsolvable Mystery

Zhong Xiaoshu has not been so angry for a long time, and when he thinks about it, it seems that when he was looking at the city, he was so angry with Zhong Xiaodi's mother and daughter who were dead-faced at first.

After that, when I basically didn't break the gong, I didn't expect that after such a long time, when I arrived in the capital, I was forced to lose my temper by a pair of strange mothers and daughters who were wearing a Buddhist system.

Is it really folded to the mother and daughter! Zhong Xiaoshu felt that it was fortunate that these two were not his mother, otherwise she might be so complicated that she couldn't eat.

Nian Wu followed Zhong Xiaoshu all the way, witnessed this thrilling and hearty scene throughout the whole process, and had to give a thumbs up to his wife's courage and eloquence, and comforted her at this time, "Madam, don't be angry anymore." The slaves and maids that the eldest princess said all know that it is not you, just like you said, since it is not your own business, why bother in your mind and add another trouble. ”

Zhong Xiaoshu smiled when he heard this, "We really learned the truth of reading Wu, and we can use it flexibly so quickly." And comfort her with her words.

"The slave also wants to be angry, madam, earlier. In fact, the eldest princess is also a poor person, and she spoiled the county lord of Anning excessively because she had no choice but to abandon her when she was a child, and she felt that she owed her daughter, so she doted on her so much, and many things should only be turned a blind eye. Nianwu didn't talk about the big truth, so he explained to Zhong Xiaoshu.

She had heard this before, but if a mother let her child go without a bottom line because of guilt, it was not something worthy of sympathy and pity.

Zhong Xiaoshu didn't think that the eldest princess who scolded her unceremoniously just now would be a little cute and respectable, snorted lightly, and whispered, "Fortunately, she is not my mother, if it were my mother, I would feel that there is such a strong mother on the outside, but very cowardly and timid on the inside, and she does not dare to feel ashamed of having the correct discipline and upbringing of her daughter." ”

Nian Wu knew that she was also really angry, so she decided not to mention this matter again, and instead talked about another matter, "By the way, madam, I seem to have found out the news of the two former ministers of the dynasty that you asked me to investigate with that piece of silk cloth a few days ago. ”

Zhong Xiaoshu didn't say much about the strange mother and daughter, and as soon as he heard about his life experience, he immediately put his mind down, "How is it?" Did you find out anything? ”

Nian Wu shook his head slightly, "Not yet, but there are already some eyebrows, and the slave and maid will be able to track it down for a few more days, and I believe that they will be able to find the matter in the family of the old prime minister and the adult who was executed before." ”

"Good, good. Then you don't have to be busy with anything else in the next two days, and concentrate on checking this side of things. Zhong Xiaoshu appropriately arranged things for Nianwu, so that she could have more energy to track down the two of them.

"I just hope that my relatives are good people who are sensible and reasonable." If there are too many strange things, the requirements for treatment will be lowered.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Xiaoshu remembered that one of the two families seemed to have been executed by the first emperor for bribery, so it didn't seem good if he was the widow of their family.

Their own relatives are greedy for money. Lustful people, this and this, it's better to be like the eldest princess!

At least people still have strength and aura in appearance and ability, but they are very hesitant about their daughter's problem.

Hey, I don't know what the outcome is, what I'm thinking about here. Zhong Xiaoshu took a few deep breaths, calmed himself down, and was provoked by a little thing, the whole person became irritable, the world is still very beautiful, that is not good.

Nianwu's mobility is really superb, but it has only been five or six days, and she has brought back two old servants from outside, one is from the old prime minister's family, and the other is from the family of the executed adult.

Zhong Xiaoshu sat in a small courtyard, looking at the two white-haired old servants in front of her, she actually had the illusion of seeing her grandmother, her nose was inexplicably sour, and she endured the churning in her heart, and she asked carefully.

"Old mamma, old man, you used to serve the old prime minister, and you used to work in the house of the executed adult, right?" Zhong Xiaoshu asked softly.

The old man was much more plain, dressed in coarse cloth clothes, and his expression was not very impatient, so he nodded, "That's right." ”

On the contrary, the old lady talked more, wearing a dark brocade plain clothes, she looked in good spirits, but her face was a little wrinkled, she smiled, she was more hearty, and said with a smile, "Yes, this lady, the old slave used to serve the prime minister, and he was also an old man in the prime minister's mansion for decades." Many nobles and old slaves have seen it! ”

The old man nagged, he liked to bring out a lot of side words, but Zhong Xiaoshu didn't urge her, just listened quietly.

"It's just that later, when the old prime minister was old, he resigned from the first emperor and returned to his hometown, and the prime minister remembered that my old slave had a lot of bones, so he returned the deed to the old slave and left a sum of money, so that the old slave could enjoy his old age in peace."

"Since both of them are old men, and they are indeed the right identity, then I want to ask the two of you, have you ever seen this kind of ice silk?" Zhong Xiaoshu handed out the small piece of fabric.

When my husband saw it, his eyes lit up, "Why haven't you seen it, this is very rare, and it's worth a lot of money!" ”

"The old slave has also seen it, and the old prime minister's horse was rewarded by the first emperor."

Zhong Xiaoshu nodded happily, and hurriedly asked again, "Have those two ever heard of, or know, that twenty years ago, did the two original masters lose or lose their children?" ”

This time, the old man and the old grandmother's answer was surprisingly unified, "No, I haven't heard of it." ”

"None of them?" Zhong Xiaoshu asked again with some reluctance.

"I've been in the prime minister's house for so many years, and I've never heard of an old prime minister losing a child."

"My first master should not have lost any children, and when he finally reported it to the first emperor's roster, he also checked it, and in the end, none of them escaped!"

The old man still felt a little scared when he thought about it, "Only we, the descendants of the outer court, may be released by the emperor, and the master's children all went with the first master!" I don't think there's a single one alive. ”

"I know......" said that he was not disappointed or false, thinking that he was about to solve the puzzle, but he fell back to the bottom of the puzzle in the blink of an eye.

Zhong Xiaoshu sighed, her life experience has become an unsolvable mystery again.
