Mrs. Ye felt that this was really boring, so she reached out and patted the hand covering her mouth, signaling her to let go.

Zhuang Rou hesitated for a moment, then let her go, but kept staring at her vigilantly.

"A girl like you should be sent to the nunnery to study hard for a few years." Mrs. Ye held the Buddha beads in her hand and said expressionlessly, "My family has been clear for generations, Ding Lian'er eloped with her cousin on the day of her wedding, even if she explained that she was forced, but the elopement was indeed true." How can my family accommodate such a daughter-in-law, and the eight chastity arches given by the emperors will not agree. ”

"She died suddenly on the day of the wedding, which caused my grandson to rush over to see it, but it caused a horse to startle, and finally fell off the horse and was seriously injured. I didn't wake up when I got home, I waited for so long, Ding Lian'er didn't kill herself to show her innocence, but she still wanted to marry into my family. ”

"I was already kind-hearted that day, and I didn't ask the Ding family to sink her in the pond with the adulterer, but she didn't know how to reflect. She has already lost her innocence, and now it is her creation to add an archway to the Ye family. Old Lady Ye raised her eyelids and said indifferently.

Zhuang Rou stared at her and asked, "You killed her?" ”

Mrs. Ye raised her eyelids and said disdainfully: "It wasn't me who killed her, it was her own misconduct, and after realizing her mistakes, she hanged herself without face again." ”

"It's not her who is wrong, but you have forced her to death." Zhuang Rou said.

"So what? Going out to swim on a flower boat can also provoke a man, which shows how bad her character is, and she is willing to hang herself. Even if I admit this matter, the emperor will give the arch of chastity, and you may have to follow in her footsteps. Mrs. Ye said confidently.

"Flower boats?" Zhuang Rou suddenly realized, "You sent the person that day, just to give her a handle, and then use these words to humiliate her." You really worked hard to force her to death. ”

Mrs. Ye is rare at an ancient age, and she can also add a chastity archway to the Ye family, and she feels extremely proud. The ancestors of the Ye family know underground, and they will also feel gratified, she does not dishonor the ancestral teachings of the Ye family, and she can see the ancestors of the Ye family with peace of mind in the future.

Her eyes were half-open, and the Buddhist beads in her hand were still twisting, "This is a woman's life, and it is also her life, little girl, you can't catch me." ”

For Zhuang Rou, a woman who does not keep women's precepts, runs around like a man, and goes to be a woman who should be arrested, in her opinion, it is a big rebellion. She heard about it a few months ago, and thought that the emperor was really crazy that he would agree to a woman to be arrested.

It's really that the new emperor is too young, and he is not the queen mother's parent, so this concubine is not as good as his grandson. Now it's not to take advantage of this matter to gain a good reputation and the support of the clear stream.

When the time comes, strike while the iron is hot and drive this woman home, so that the women of the Dahao Dynasty can be safe, and take the Ye family as an example of women's conduct.

Zhuang Rou looked at her serious and dull face, looked at her unkind face and said, "I really didn't come to arrest you, no one will let me take care of this case." In order to protect my relatives and not cause trouble to him, I can't arrest you, not even let people know that I have come to you. ”

"So you're here to get the truth?" Old Mrs. Ye said indifferently, as soon as the words fell, she suddenly felt her neck click, and the scenery in front of her changed.

Zhuang Rou let go of the hands holding her head, and Mrs. Ye fell on the chair, her neck broken and breathless.

She whispered to herself: "I just came to kill you, if you hadn't confessed yourself, the evidence in my hand wouldn't have been able to convict you of a capital crime." ”

Mrs. Ye never expected that she would finish her life in this way.

Zhuang Rou glanced at her corpse and found that the Buddha beads had fallen to the ground, so she picked them up and put them in Mrs. Ye's hand. Since you can twist this Buddha bead for a lifetime, it's better to take it with you when you die, otherwise it will be boring to be empty-handed.

She looked around and then flashed into the darkness and jumped out of the window, and half an hour later, Yahuan came to serve Mrs. Ye to rest, only to find that she was dead. Suddenly, the entire Yejiazhuang became a pot of porridge, and Zhuang Rou had already left for a long time, and returned to Beijing before closing the city gate, and went home as if nothing happened.

There was no dream all night, she slept soundly, and she was woken up by Aunt Liu knocking on the door early in the morning, "Miss, I have to go to Hongzhou today, and if I sleep again, I will have to let the king of the county wait!" ”

"Then let him wait." Zhuang Rou slept lazily on the bed, stretched and said, not wanting to get up at all.

Aunt Liu said helplessly: "Miss, the eldest young master has been waiting for you for a long time, and wants to send you to the dock first and then go to Guozijian." ”

When Zhuang Rou heard this, she immediately sat up, rubbed her eyes sleepily and opened the door. Aunt Liu was carrying hot water, and when she saw her lazy appearance, she was anxious, and hurriedly dragged her to serve her clothes and wash.

After all the tossing was over, he urged her to hurry up and have breakfast, otherwise she would not be able to catch up.

After being tossed by her, Zhuang Rou woke up a long time ago, and walked to the shade of the tree in the front yard to eat porridge, she really couldn't eat anything in such a hot weather.

"Xiaorou, did you sleep well last night?" Zhuang Xuewen came out of the study in the side courtyard, walked to the stone table and sat down, looked at her turning radishes in the pickle saucer and said.

Zhuang Rou didn't raise her head, her eyes stared at the pickle saucer and replied casually: "Brother, I slept well, and I didn't dream." ”

"Really?" Zhuang Xuewen looked at her, watched her every move, and then said, "The old lady of the Ye family passed away last night. ”

Zhuang Rou took a bite of the pickled radish and watched him respond while eating, "In such a hot weather, it is normal for an old man of her age to die of heat." Anyway, his family happened to be doing a funeral, so it would be better to add more coffins. ”

There is no abnormality, there is something different, with Zhuang Xuewen's understanding of Zhuang Rou, she has just been prevented from investigating the case of the Ye family, and knowing that the old lady of the Ye family has passed away, she must say something gloating.

However, now she does not ......

Zhuang Xuewen said very casually: "She was killed by someone who broke her neck, and now the Jingmen Mansion has taken over the case, but the Ye family is reluctant to make a noise, so few people know." ”

"Chen Long's mouth is really idle, he must have come to find his brother." Zhuang Rou raised her eyebrows, Lord Yin Chen of the Jingmen Mansion has such a big-mouthed son, what kind of secret can be kept.

"Why is the Ye family silent, it's not that they have done anything wrong, and they are afraid that others will know." Zhuang Rou chatted as if nothing happened, but she knew in her heart that her brother at the table was suspicious of her.

In this world, there is only one person who can suspect that Mrs. Ye is the one she killed.

There was no one in the courtyard at this time, Aunt Liu was already busy, Liu Mi was preparing horses and loading carts outside, and waited to send Zhuang Rou to the dock to meet Xiaojun Wang.

Zhuang Xuewen asked lightly: "Didn't you kill it?" ”

"Why does my brother ask that?" Zhuang Rou raised her head and looked at him and asked, neither denying nor admitting it.

"Xiaorou, now that you don't have to live that kind of life, I just hope you don't get involved in these things. I just want to see you in peace, not licking on the tip of the knife, there's no need. Zhuang Xuewen frowned and said earnestly.

Zhuang Rou stared at him for a while, then suddenly put down the chopsticks, stood up and pounced on him, "Brother, Xiaorou can't go home every day when she goes to Hongzhou, she will miss you very much, let me hug me now." ”

Again......

Zhuang Xuewen wanted to refuse her, but Zhuang Rou had already pounced, rubbed his head on his chest and smiled: "My brother is really fragrant, where did this incense come from, it smells like it's very expensive." ”

"Dog nose, go over and sit down and eat your breakfast, when you get to the place where Hongzhou has a small county king, you are welcome, just be a dog." Zhuang Xuewen pushed her away and said seriously.

Zhuang Rou burst out laughing, "Brother, if you want to use it, you have to use it as a cow." ”

"Alright, just remember to be careful. When it's okay here, I'll go to Hongzhou to see you. Zhuang Xuewen told him, if he really couldn't take care of her, he was 10,000 unwilling to let Xiaorou leave.

After Zhuang Rou finished breakfast, he took the collected softness, sat in the carriage driven by Liu Mi, and went to the Jingmen Wharf not far from Beimen County accompanied by Zhuang Xuewen. This wharf was only provided for officials to dock, and the people were not allowed to come, and a large road led directly to the capital, which was specially built for officials to enter Beijing.

When they came, the ship of the little king was loading, and it was clear that there were only two hours of waterway, so it was really not far away. And although it is the poorest state in the surrounding area, it is only compared with the rich next side, and if you want to compare it with the whole country, it is already a very rich state.

If you want something, you can buy it with money, and you don't need to bring too many things.

But Zhuang Rou got out of the carriage and saw seven or eight people moving a beautiful big bed to the boat, and there were still a lot of furniture and large and small boxes on the dock, and even a fragrant wood basin for bathing.

Thinking that he was so shabby, he only brought two boxes, one of which was full of hidden weapons and armor, and he felt that the little county king was simply too idle.

She looked to the side and saw that there were still a dozen boxes, but they were guarded by a few men in other clothes, and it looked as if they were waiting for the little king to finish moving before getting on the boat.

Anyone else on a boat?

This is the boat of the little county king, how can it be possible to solicit customers, Zhuang Rou looked over curiously, and found that there were three gorgeous carriages parked next to it. Suddenly, a man jumped out of one of the carriages and said impatiently: "Mother, I know, you have said it a hundred times!" ”

Zhuang Rou's eyes lit up, isn't this Chen Mufeng, the ninth son of the Chen family, who actually persuaded Chen Shangshu to come to Hongzhou with Xiaojun Wang?

In order to verify the guess in her heart, she beckoned to Chen Mufeng and shouted, "Apprentice, why are you here, come here!" ”

Chen Mufeng didn't expect Zhuang Rou to go too, so he was stunned at the time, didn't he hear that she was suspended and went home to wait for marriage, why was she here. watched Liu Mi remove the two boxes from the carriage, and looked like he was going to go together.

He ran over in a daze, and asked with a blank look: "Sister Zhuang, are you here to see Your Highness or do you want to go together?" ”

"If I don't go, who will teach you to handle the case, of course you will go together." I didn't expect the little follower to go too, Zhuang Rou crossed her waist and smiled.

Chen Mufeng reacted suddenly, glanced back with palpitations, and saw that Mrs. Chen Shangshu had already gotten off the carriage, and the person was supported by the maid, and her whole face was pale and blue with shock.

Zhuang Rou looked at her and said to Chen Mufeng: "Your mother seems to be afraid of me? ”

"It's not that I'm afraid, I just don't want to get married......" Chen Mufeng said embarrassedly, his mother just thought too much.

"Cut, your family thinks so beautifully, don't marry high or low, haven't you heard this sentence?" Zhuang Rou gave him a blank look and said.

Chen Mufeng nodded, "The door is right, my mother also means this, huh?" After saying that, he reacted, do you want to marry high or low?

This is saying that Shangshu Mansion is still low!
