Chapter 164: Suspect
Looking at the two rooms that he hadn't noticed for a long time, Yongchangbo suppressed all kinds of emotions and said: "This is Lord Yin Zhen of Shuntian Mansion, what does Lord Zhen ask you, you must answer truthfully, do you know?" ”
Tongfang Chunmei, who has a gentle temperament, glanced at Yongchangbo greedily, and bent her knees to greet Zhen Shicheng and Yongchangbo, saying "I know", looking like she was in order.
Chaoyun didn't look at anyone, and saluted with Chunmei, his expression was blank, and he didn't say a word.
"Where do you live?" Zhen Shicheng asked.
"The concubine lives in the East Cross Courtyard." As if knowing that Chaoyun would not be silent, Chunmei took the initiative to say, "Chaoyun lives in the West Cross Courtyard. ”
"What time did you go to bed last night?"
"The concubine fell asleep at the beginning of the year." Chunmei's tone was a little self-deprecating, "It's okay left and right." ”
Day after day, long night, without children or men, what do you do without sleeping?
Chunmei thought so, and couldn't help but glance at Yongchangbo from the corner of her eye.
When Mrs. was pregnant, she almost couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard that she was going to pick a room for her uncle, even though her uncle and Mrs. had already made it clear that they were not allowed to give birth to an heir, she still let her parents push the family affairs that were originally under discussion and became the uncle's woman as she wished.
When I was young, I always refused to admit defeat, thinking that with a little beauty and empathetic temperament, I would warm my uncle's heart sooner or later, and there would be a man and a woman in the future, and her children would also be the masters.
But after a long time, I realized that the uncle collected the room completely because he had a warm bed when the lady was inconvenient, and in the uncle's heart, they were probably not much different from cats and dogs.
Year after year has passed, that bit of heart has long been worn out, unwilling or may have, regret is not.
At that time, those sisters who married a little girl were not more comfortable than her, and there were many people who were beaten by men every day or worried about their livelihoods, she lived quietly in the mansion at least without worrying about food and clothing, and her parents and brothers also had a lot of light......
"What about the maid who serves you?"
Soon, two maids stepped forward to give Zhen Shicheng a salute.
"You slept with your aunt last night?"
A maid in Tsing Yi said: "Last night, the maid was on duty, so I rested at my aunt's feet." ”
Uncle Yongchang has not given the two aunts in the room, but the sons have grown up, and the next people mention the uncle's two aunts, and no one is surprised.
"Did you make any noise?"
The girl in Tsing Yi said without thinking: "No." The maid sleeps lightly, and sleeps at the aunt's feet, if there is any movement, the maid will definitely know. The aunt didn't wake up until the morning, and it was the maid and the peach that gave the aunt a face wash. ”
The other maid immediately nodded yes.
Zhen Shicheng opened the roster and flipped through it, and knew that one of the two maids who served Aunt Mei was named Taohong and the other was named Liulu, and the two maids were transferred to the East Cross Courtyard three years ago to serve Aunt Mei.
Three years ago -
Zhen Shicheng couldn't help but look at Yongchangbo.
This time is the time when Chaoyun got pregnant and had an abortion, and it can be concluded from experience that this is no coincidence.
Yongchangbo glanced at Chaoyun and said in a low voice: "At that time, I felt that the hearts of the people in the back house were fluctuating, so I replaced all the maids and women who served them. ”
Chaoyun was inexplicably pregnant, and Yongchangbo suspected that she had bribed the maid and the maid to replace the child-avoiding soup, and in order to avoid this kind of thing in the future, she simply changed all the people who were waiting.
He no longer wanted to experience the heart plug that he had personally ordered to break the blood.
"The two maids were selected by Uchiko, and they are all born to the family, so their words should be credible."
Zhen Shicheng listened and nodded.
Since the two maids are the sons of the family selected by Mrs. Bo, their families must be useful in front of Mrs. Bo, so the possibility of them helping Aunt Mei to murder her mother, or concealing the crime for Aunt Mei, is extremely low.
Zhen Shicheng looked at Chaoyun and asked the same question: "What time did you fall asleep last night?" ”
Chaoyun was silent for a long time before he said, "Hey." ”
There are also two personal maids who serve Chaoyun, but these two maids can't help but look at each other when they hear Zhen Shicheng ask about serving his aunt to sleep.
Yongchangbo snorted coldly.
The two maids lowered their heads and said in unison: "My aunt slept alone last night." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's gaze at Chaoyun immediately became subtle, and even many people thought of Chaoyun's abortion three years ago.
The two of them have not moved for many years, and as soon as the news of Chaoyun's pregnancy came out, there was a lot of discussion in the house, thinking that Chaoyun had finally come out, and an aunt couldn't run, who knew that the lady was sick, and the uncle was afraid that the lady would be upset, so he did not hesitate to order someone to abort Chaoyun.
Tsk, after that, Chaoyun's cry came from time to time in the West Cross Courtyard, and she must have held a grudge, so she killed her wife.
Xie Qingqi was already very sensible three years ago, and when he thought of this now, he couldn't help it anymore, so he stepped forward and asked, "Aunt Yun, did you really kill my mother?" ”
Chaoyun looked at Xie Qingqi expressionlessly, without saying a word.
"You speak!" Xie Qingqi raised his voice, "My mother has never been kind to you, and now that she has died so miserably, don't you even want to say a word?" ”
"I didn't." I don't know if it was Xie Qingqi's words that touched Chaoyun, or if she knew that it was impossible to avoid the past in front of everyone's eyes, so she finally spoke.
Just three words fell into everyone's ears, and it seemed a little weak.
"Has my aunt been sleeping alone?" Zhen Shicheng was not affected in the slightest, and asked again.
A maid said: "My aunt has not slept well in the past two years, and she doesn't like us to accompany her." ”
Zhen Shicheng stroked his beard: "So, you don't know if your aunt has been sleeping in the house last night?" ”
The two maids glanced at each other, and the maid who replied just now shook her head: "The maid doesn't know, but I didn't hear any sound." ”
She had always slept soundly, and she couldn't hear thunder, let alone anything else.
The other maid hesitated.
"What, what did you hear?" Zhen Shicheng immediately asked.
"Servant-" The maid glanced at Chaoyun quickly.
Yongchangbo immediately shouted: "If you have anything, just say it, see what she does?" Could it be that Aunt Yun sent you moon silver? ”
The maid involuntarily knelt down and buried her head very low: "Auntie...... My aunt should burn paper at night......"
"What kind of paper to burn?" Yongchangbo listened with anger on his face.
The maid's head hung lower: "The paper burned for the unborn little boy ......"
It turns out that since Chaoyun lost his child, every year on the day of the abortion will burn paper for the unborn child, this maid bumped into it in the first year, although I didn't hear any movement last night, but this morning found a little ash left in the corner of the yard.
"When did you meet your aunt burning paper in the first year you went to Xicrossan Hospital?"
The maid recalled: "At the beginning of the day. ”
A mother-in-law exclaimed: "Oh, the old slave remembered that Aunt Yun's child was dropped every year today!" ”
