Fangcao had already withdrawn knowing the opportunity, so Ruan Yunsi gently covered Su Mingxi's mouth and sighed: "What's the point of talking about this now?" In the final analysis, this matter actually has nothing to do with you, today's men, who are in a high position like you, who does not have three wives and four concubines? Speaking of which, you're good. It's just that you are right, people's greed is endless, if men can start from the beginning, there will be no girls who try to climb into the master's bed, there will be no those who have been concubines, but they are looking forward to having children and daughters, having children, and looking forward to being in power, holding power, and feeling that their status is low, and so on, in the end, where can these struggles have a good ending?Chinese It's either a lose-or-lose, and when you think about it, what's the point? ”

Su Mingxi nodded lightly, and had to admit that what Ruan Yunsi said was really reasonable. The husband and wife held each other's hands, and they were speechless for a while.

It didn't take long for Ruan Yunsi to cheer up and say: "Yes, things in the house have happened after all, and my mother and the old lady are only afraid that they will be angry, but Aunt Yuan is ...... Although she was very wrong, she ...... after all Or let her live. It's not a great sin of adultery, she's just a loser in a fight. But what I'm going to tell you now is something else......"

Because he told Zhong Nan about the letter he came over, Su Mingxi was shocked, and then he frowned, and said softly: "In this way, since the Chinese New Year in the capital, I have also heard of two or three women who committed suicide. They are all young, wondering, why would such a person commit suicide? What's going on? Let them be so suicidal......"

Thinking of this, he said to Ruan Yunsi: "You have a body, and you have a good rest, I'll go out." Let the Criminal Department investigate well, and by the way, I am afraid that I will still enter the palace to report this matter to the emperor. Imperial Physician Chen went to King Jing's Mansion before, and I have already left a message, I want to come and wait a while to come and treat you. Yunsi, you just take care of the fetus. You don't have to worry about anything else. Trust me, I'll take care of it. ”

Ruan Yunsi nodded and smiled at Su Mingxi: "Well, I've always believed in you, always be." ”

The husband and wife looked at each other, and they felt that their hearts were ironed. It's been a long time. Su Mingxi straightened up, strode out of the inner room, and saw Fangcao and a few little girls doing needlework outside, so he told them to take good care of his grandmother, and he went out again without stopping.

*********************************

"I haven't lived in a house like this since I was born, it's dark, cold and damp." In the dark firewood room, Aunt Yuan sat on the ground with her hands and knees, staring blankly at the skylight on the roof, muttering to herself.

The creek next to her was also looking at the skylight. But what she thought was different from Aunt Yuan, for some reason, at this time she thought of the little girl named Pin'er, I heard that she was able to escape from this firewood room because she had practiced bone shrinking skills in the juggling team, Xiaoxi only felt incredible at that time, and thought to herself how could there be such a thing. Now she wishes that she could have that kind of magical kung fu, so she can escape from here.

The master and servant stayed here for most of the day, and no one came in to ask, and they were all scared to death at this time.

Aunt Yuan was more unwilling in fear. The brook was utterly afraid. It was only after she was locked up in the firewood room that she knew the specific process of the matter from the master's mouth, and she couldn't help but feel terrified, knowing that this master couldn't turn over by saying anything this time, but she was afraid that she would be kicked out of the house, no, it was okay to be driven out of the house, but she was afraid that Mrs. Liu would be angry with Aunt Yuan, and even she, the personal maid, would be beaten to death.

Now Xiaoxi can only keep praying in her heart, praying that God will protect Ruan Yunsi's mother and son safely, otherwise, once something happens to the fetus in the womb of that master, it is conceivable that she really has no way to live at all. Remember that you said that you didn't know at all, who would believe it? She is the most powerful and confidant maid by Aunt Yuan's side, if you don't know about these bad things, is this possible? But the problem is, she really just doesn't know it. It's rare in history to have a close-fitting maid like her?

Xiaoxi didn't know until this time that Aunt Yuan had never really trusted herself, no, not only herself, but in the heart of this master, I am afraid that only she herself is the most trustworthy person. Even that safflower musk, Xiaoxi didn't know where she got it? Now that I think about it, I am afraid that this thing has not been stored in the room for a day or two, maybe the master has already been prepared for this when Ruan Yunsi married in.

Just thinking wildly, he heard the sound of footsteps outside the door, and then the door opened, and five or six sturdy servants stood guard outside the door, and the two mothers-in-law walked in with food boxes, and after a glance at their master and servant, they threw the food boxes to the ground, and sneered and said: "You are lucky today, the master is busy with big things, and I have no time to deal with you, and let you live a few more days." ”

The creek's tears fell as soon as they brushed it. Aunt Yuan straightened her waist at this time, still posing as an aunt in the past, only glanced at the food box on the ground, turned her eyes to her mother-in-law's face, and sneered: "What could be more important than dealing with me, a poisonous woman with a heart like a snake and scorpion?" Isn't Ye the most nervous vixen? ”

The mother-in-law looked at her, her face was filled with disgust, and she snorted coldly: "Don't think that you are very much like a dish, the death of a dozen young daughters-in-law outside is much more important than that of you, a slut." Keeping you is just a few days to survive, don't you know that the most uncomfortable thing is not death, but the time spent waiting for death? ”

This mother-in-law had visited a nephew who had committed a serious crime, and she had heard her nephew weep bitterly and say that it was better to let him die at once, than to be terrified every day when the day of execution was near. In the end, the nephew committed suicide by hitting the wall in prison, which shows that this kind of death is really uncomfortable.

Sure enough, as soon as she heard this, the calmness on Aunt Yuan's face disappeared, and Xiaoxi's whole body trembled. The two mothers-in-law ignored them, put down the food box and turned to walk out, only to hear one of them ask: "Old sister, I also heard about this, but I didn't hear about it, what is the reason?" Why do you still care about this kind of thing? ”

The previous mother-in-law sighed and said: "Evil, it was Brother Nan who came back and said that it was under the city and countryside of Lushui, somehow, more than a dozen young daughters-in-law died in the past two or three months, two or three of them were pregnant, even in the capital, during this time, there were two women from rich and noble families who hanged themselves and swallowed gold, remember that the fastest latest text version update of Niu Butt Academy said that this thing is normal?" No, the master will go to tell the emperor, maybe he will have to ...... with the criminal department."

At this point, the voice faded away, and finally it was not heard.

Aunt Yuan sat there in a daze, her whole body seemed to stiffen.

Xiaoxi was a little hungry, but the master didn't eat, and she didn't dare to eat first, so she had to eat and said, "Master, you ...... You'd better get something in...... You have worked hard in this house for so many years, as the saying goes, a husband and wife are a hundred nights, maybe ...... Maybe the master will open up the ......"

Before the words fell, I saw two lines of tears rolling down Aunt Yuan's face, and suddenly laughed miserably: "I'm afraid it's ...... Can you spare me, this time...... But I can't spare ......."

Xiaoxi saw that her face was pale, and she was so frightened that she was about to go forward to check, but she saw Aunt Yuan straighten up again, slowly picked up the bowl of rice, and said with a miserable smile: "Eat, even if you die, you have to be a full ghost." Hehe...... Hehehe......"

Xiaoxi only felt that this master's behavior was really weird, and then looked at the surroundings of the house, it was all dark, it was not dark at this time, I really don't know how to get through it when it gets dark, and I don't know if there will be rats here? Thinking of this, she felt that her stomach was not as hungry as it was just now, and instead it was full of fear that could not be expressed.

Su Mingxi's busyness is five days later.

After he reported the matter to the emperor that day, sure enough, the emperor was very shocked, and immediately ordered him to go to the criminal department to investigate the matter, and be sure to get to the bottom as soon as possible.

The officials of the Criminal Department are not Zhen Yan's team, but most of them are a group of people close to Su Mingxi, which is naturally very efficient. And those experienced criminal investigators who visited the places within a radius of 200 miles in the capital were much more efficient than the little monkeys sent out by Ruan Yunsi. However, in five days, all kinds of clues were gathered.

However, in the past three months, in the urban and rural areas within a radius of 200 miles of the capital, the number of young women who committed suicide or lost their footing or even disappeared has reached 39, and even three months ago, there were sporadic cases of women committing suicide, but although everyone thought it was strange, no one cared. If it weren't for Zhong Nan noticing something strange this time, coming to Ruan Yunsi, and alarming the emperor through Su Mingxi, these women would really have to die in vain.

Such an abnormal situation, remember that the fastest and latest text version update of Niu Butt Academy can determine that there must be a reason behind it. It's just that it's not even close for a while, because there are too many clues and it's too messy.

In the past few days, she has been going out early and returning late, Su Mingxi feels sorry for Ruan Yunsi, obviously her beloved wife has experienced such a shocking event before, and she should be by her side to comfort and take care of her. But she was entangled in business, so she had to comfort herself: Yunsi is a kind woman, she knows that I am dedicated to the public, and she will definitely not blame me, not to mention, now that Yun Niang is taking care of her, there is finally someone to talk to, and she will not be too lonely.

Even so, it was like this for five days in a row, and Su Mingxi felt a little guilty. Because of this day, he came back an hour early to accompany Ruan Yunsi to talk and eat.
