In the past few days, the Chen family can be said to be trembling, although their daughter Mrs. Su is already married, but if the emperor wants to blame, he will not care so much.

What's more important is that although the things at the banquet have not been spread, they are well known, and those officials and eunuchs do not want to have anything to do with them.

"Oh no, master, the eldest lady died of illness, and the Su family is preparing for the funeral!" The housekeeper hurriedly ran into the study and reported the news he heard this morning to Master Chen, who was still reading.

Old Man Chen stood up suddenly, "What did you say?" He walked out of the table and came to the butler, "Didn't the emperor let her go back to the house a few days ago?" ”

"That's right, but today the Su family is going on a funeral, and as soon as I inquire, the eldest lady has passed away!" The housekeeper is also anxious, he is the old man of the Chen family, this eldest lady died suddenly, if the Chen family is implicated, he will not be pleased.

Master Chen paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and his panicked expression was overflowing, "What about my niece Yin'er?" ”

"Miss Yin'er is fine, she is probably in the Su family at this time." The housekeeper reassured: "Besides, Miss Yin'er is protected by King Xin, and she is all right after all." ”

Master Chen nodded in response, "That's right, I see that His Royal Highness King Xin is also really fond of Yin'er" As if he had thought of something, he hurriedly said to the housekeeper: "Quick, go and invite Madame." ”

The housekeeper also suddenly realized that the old lady was much calmer than the old man, and he retreated, "Yes, the villain will go." ”

At this time, Mrs. Chen was in the Buddhist hall, and older people inevitably saw the world more lightly, and her daughter did evil a few days ago, so she always had to pray for her blessings.

But for some reason, the Buddha beads in her hand suddenly broke, and Mrs. Chen hurriedly ordered the maid to pick it up.

"Knock knock!" The housekeeper guessed that Mrs. Chen was in the Buddhist hall and knocked on the door outside.

This knock on the door really startled Mrs. Chen, she covered her beating heart, and said to the maid who wanted to get up and open the door: "You go and pick it up, I'll open the door." ”

"What's going on, butler?" Old Madam Chen opened the door and walked out and turned around to close the door, she couldn't let the housekeeper disturb the quiet place of Buddhism.

The housekeeper didn't even bother to salute, "Old lady, the eldest lady has an accident, and the master asked you to go to the study to discuss countermeasures!" ”

"Don't worry, you can tell me about this matter in detail." Old Madam Chen subconsciously wanted to clench the Buddha beads in her hand, but remembered that the Buddha beads had been broken just now.

The housekeeper also understood that he was in a hurry at this time, so he calmed down and said: "I went out to run errands this morning, passing by Su Mansion, and the door of the house was full of white flags. ”

"Something happened." Old Mrs. Chen couldn't stand anymore, and the stricken ones were about to fall, but fortunately they were supported by the housekeeper.

Fortunately, Old Madam Chen has also experienced ups and downs, and she was not devastated by this incident, and soon realized the importance of the matter, "Butler, you go to Su Mansion now, talk to Xiaohuai, and then come back and tell me what happened."

Xiaohuai is the dowry maid who married into the Su Mansion of Mrs. Su, and is guarding the spirit of Mrs. Su in the mourning hall at this time.

"Madame...... Woo woo...... "Xiaohuai didn't dare to cry loudly, just sobbed a little in the corner.

The housekeeper came to the Su Mansion to take Xiaohuai out of the mourning hall, and only when he went to a secluded place did he ask: "The news of the eldest lady's death has been transmitted back to the mansion, you tell me what has happened in the past few days." ”

Coincidentally, after Mrs. Su died, there happened to be Xiaohuai among the people who changed her clothes, and when the housekeeper asked, she couldn't hold back her crying, "Madame didn't die of illness, she was strangled to death!" ”

"Don't cry yet, do you know the truth of the matter?" Although the housekeeper is not a woman, he is also used to carrying a towel with him, taking it out of his arms and handing it to Xiaohuai.

Xiaohuai didn't actually know anything, but the housekeeper asked, and she told everything she knew, "I only know that Mrs. was confined after being put back in the house, and the old man talked for a long time in Madame's room that day, and when he came out, he said that Madame died of illness and asked us to prepare for the funeral, but I went in and saw that Madame had obvious strangulation marks on her neck, and she ......"

"Alright, you can go back." The housekeeper saw that Xiaohuai was about to cry again, so he asked her to go back to the mourning hall to continue the vigil, while he went back to report the news.

Master Chen took the case, "Su Dingyuan, this bastard brute!" You despise my daughter so much! ”

"What's the use of being angry with you?" Mrs. Chen sat upright on the chair next to her, and the result was as she expected, dialing the re-tied Buddha beads, which made people unable to see the joy and sorrow.

Old Man Chen sat down on the chair angrily, "Then what do you say I should do?" ”

"You can't do anything." Old Madam Chen waved her hand to let the housekeeper step back, and only after the person left: "Su Dingyuan is just the most direct murderer, and the person who instructed him to attack is the real murderer!" ”

Master Chen actually felt that he and Mrs. Chen's identities should be exchanged, and this strategic bearing was completely incomparable, "What do you say about Madame?" ”

"The most direct victim of the birthday banquet that day was the three princes, but who did the three princes stop the disaster for?" Mrs. Chen was not stingy to explain to Master Chen, "If it was the emperor who ate the pastries at that time, then let alone the Su family, even my Chen family might not be able to keep it!" ”

Master Chen was shocked, "Is it Su Dingyuan instructed by the emperor?!" He frantically got up from his chair and paced back and forth, "How is this good?" ”

"You don't have to panic now, our daughter has already saved us from the crime." Old Madam Chen sighed, "But not only can't we blame Su Dingyuan, but we also have to get along with him." ”

In the end, it is a woman's family, and some things can't be done endlessly.

Old Man Chen looked at Old Madam Chen in surprise, "Could it be that we still have to send him a continuation?" ”

"Exactly."

Old Man Chen wanted to go forward to investigate and see if Old Mrs. Chen was sick, "How can we have a girl for him." ”

"I remember that our daughter had a cousin who is still in the boudoir." Mrs. Chen is old, but her ability to remember things is not bad.

Master Chen also remembered it, but he didn't agree, "That girl killed her fiancé when she was just in time, and she was divorced again when she was eighteen years old, and she couldn't marry Lone Star for a day!" ”

"Just because she can't get married at the age of twenty-five now, she is the best candidate to continue." Old Madam Chen said: "Who is a good girl who would be willing to marry someone like Su Dingyuan." ”

When Master Chen heard it, he said, "Then let's do it according to Madame's wishes." ”
