Chapter 11 Clearing Suspicions

When Jiang Tan and his entourage went, they didn't know where Heshuijin had gone now, for fear of missing it, so they looked for it all the way, which was relatively slow. It was much faster to return to Beijing - they were originally more than one person out of the city, and this would change horses in turn to gallop, and they entered the city in only two days and one night!

rushed to the jewelry shop "Linlang Ji" that married with Shui Jin, and didn't care that the shopkeeper here was a delicate little daughter-in-law, so she rushed in like a wolf and dragged people, and returned to the mansion without stopping!

Jiang Yashuang and Qiu Yulan were waiting for their news, and they were surprised when they heard the words: "Then bring the people and hairpins up, and see what she says!" ”

After a while, the untidy and embarrassed female shopkeeper was brought up, crying and crying, and seeing Qiu Yulan crying even more sadly: "Nineteenth young lady doesn't recognize the slave family, the slave family is ......"

"Look at this!" How could Qiu Yulan and his wife be in the mood to listen to her verbosity? directly took out the hairpin that He Shuijin handed over to Jiang Tan - and then the female shopkeeper's crying stopped abruptly! In just two breaths, she not only quickly tidied up her skirt and smoothed her sideburns, but even her expression changed from a weak little daughter-in-law to a calm and calm professional shopkeeper in an instant.

"My young lady once told me, but someone came to see the slave family with this hairpin, and asked the slave family to treat it as a young lady! Now this hairpin is in the hands of the nineteenth young lady, and the young lady is also invited to command! Because "Linlang Ji" is a dowry industry, and it is a shop opened by Shui Jin with his own fat powder money before he left the cabinet, this female shopkeeper is not serving in the Guogong Mansion, and still calls Shui Jin as a young lady.

Qiu Yulan didn't say anything more, and said the cause and effect straightforwardly: "...... But I don't know what you have to say to clear all suspicions for your young lady? ”

The female shopkeeper was a little stunned when she heard this, but after pondering for a moment, her eyes suddenly lit up: "The slave family knows what the young lady means!" "This matter should not be in the ears of many people......

"It's all credible!" Qiu Yulan had already cleared the scene when she was brought up, and now in addition to the couple, Jiang Tan and Su He are all confidants, and even the errand of letting her taste the pain of losing a child again without giving a credible statement to Shui Jin can be done, what else can not be heard?

So he said lightly, "Just say it!" ”

The female shopkeeper bit her lip, but she didn't force it, but said: "The reason why the young lady avoided the Gyeonggi Antus is that the nineteenth young lady knows about it, and the slave family no longer talks much." After saying this, he replied, "Why doesn't Miss have her first child, and the nineteenth young lady wants to know the reason?" ”

Hearing this, Qiu Yulan's heart moved.

Sure enough, the female shopkeeper immediately said: "The pain of losing a child can only be experienced by parents!" Although it is said that the person is both an elder and a blood relative, she is in the front, and my young lady always thinks about the lost beloved son, after all, she can't help but seek justice for the innocent grandson! ”

…… He Shuijin used Mrs. Zhuang to achieve the goal of leaving Beijing before, and he was indeed planning to kill two birds with one stone, one was to avoid He's rest assured to prepare for childbirth; One is to avenge the miscarriage of the year and give a big gift to the He's!

is still the difficulty that has been mentioned repeatedly: in view of the relationship between the two aunts and nephews, this revenge must not only make the He family deserve it, but also not involve the He family or the children of the He family! You have to hide your means to prevent people from finding out!

Fortunately, when he and Shuijin settled the accounts of "Qingfeng Ji" before, they found a ray of light: a box of sleeping incense!

Without hesitation, she sent her henchmen to the place where the ledger was recorded to take the things away, and found a chance for no one to burn the ledger!

Anyway, there are so many account books in "Qingfeng Ji", even if they are more important, they can't be seen if one or two are missing. I really saw it, and Shui Jin had destroyed the corpse and wiped out the traces, and I said that I didn't see it, after all, she was working "sick" during that time, as long as she ensured that the accounts were not seriously wrong, no one would blame her - the thing was missing, of course, the people below didn't look good or didn't put it down, what does it matter to her?

“…… According to the instructions of the young lady, after the New Year, she used the reason that there was a big problem in the accounts to lead the third lady out of the house, and sat in the most important shops for a few days, and then quietly lit this box of incense beside her! The female shopkeeper said truthfully, "The reason why I want to order it again at that time is because the young lady's delivery period is in the first month, and she will naturally return to Beijing after giving birth. ”

"The second is that you need to go to relatives in the first month, and the sixth young lady in the third room is a widow, and it is not appropriate to go out or go to the shop in the first month; The young lady is not in Beijing; If the third lady has to check the accounts, it is impossible to bring the only seventh young lady who can go to each house to pay New Year's greetings on behalf of the third room! It is also impossible to bring the eighth lady...... In this way, accidental injuries can be avoided! ”

The female shopkeeper sighed and said solemnly: "Miss, she has even considered the eighth lady and the seventh young lady, how can it be unfavorable to the two beloved sons?" And he spoke of the incense of sleep, and prepared the account book of his hands and feet, and prepared the house of the reckoning and the clan...... said that Jiang Yashuang and his wife could check and confront each other casually.

These are all in Beijing, and with the guidance and cooperation of the female shopkeeper, all of them were checked in one afternoon.

Not to mention the others, just to say that those who went to the account book in the shop in order to defraud the He's family, it was a foot high, and it seemed to be done, Qiu Yulan, a housewife of ordinary people's level, took a copy and read it in person, and suddenly felt that the problem was serious, if it was true, then she would definitely rush to the shop to discuss the solution with the stewards!

None of this can be done in just a few days.

After all, even if he produces in the first month of the year, he will return to Beijing at most in the full moon, and he will personally take over these account books at that time. But according to the problems listed in these accounts, will the rest of the Jiang family not pay attention to such a big matter?

These fake accounts and the aftermath of the accounts need to be completely matched, and the intermediate operation must be reasonable in order to erase the flaws in Heshuijin's hands, which requires worry, Qiu Yulan feels that even if Heshuijin is good at accounts, the effort will not be less than participating in this calculation Jiang Jinglang.

Originally, Qiu Yulan suspected that He Shui Jin was involved in the murder of her son, but she thought that she wanted to use the hands of her husband and wife to deal with He's family. Now the revenge method of confessing to Shui Jin - the effect of the sleeping incense, Qiu Yulan is too clear!

Think about the days before General Ruan's death, it is not too much to describe life as death!

With such a means, wouldn't it be superfluous to borrow the knife of the fourth room?

Therefore, it was confirmed that the female shopkeeper was indeed hiding the sleeping incense, and planned to let the quiet room used during the first month of the He's New Year start a new decoration not long ago, and all the decorative things were in duplicate, one for use now, and one for replacement afterwards, so as to avoid people from noticing the traces of sleeping incense burning in the room, Qiu Yulan and his wife recognized the innocence of He Shuijin: "We are also in a hurry, which offended the fourteenth sister-in-law." Now I can't get out, and when the fourteenth sister-in-law comes back, I will go to her and ask for her guilt! ”

Let Jiang Tan run another leg, which means that the two of them will go to calm down Xia and Shui Jin's anger first.

As for He Shuijin's calculation of the He family, the two of them returned the sleeping incense to the female shopkeeper as if nothing happened, and asked her to send some jewelry in two days: "I said to the outside world that because my uncle went, in order to prevent people from wearing bright things, I will buy some silver hairpins and silver rings from you." Because I want to buy it for the courtyard, the quantity is relatively large, so I called you to come over in person. ”

The female shopkeeper tacitly put away the sleeping incense carefully, and said respectfully: "The son and the young lady are pure filial piety, and they are so considerate of their subordinates, they are really good people who can no longer be found in the world......"

After a few words of compliment, he calmly retired.

The remaining couple sighed for a long time: "It's not the fourteenth sister-in-law...... Who's that? Who the hell is it? ”

You can't make a big deal of investigations, and you can't threaten and intimidate them one by one in private, right? And the water and gold are also repaid, and the others must not immediately sue Qin Guogong? What's the difference between that and not agreeing to Jiang Bo's request!

"Don't say anything else, I have to go to my grandmother and ask for something for my fourteenth sister-in-law!" Qiu Yulan stood up in a daze, "She has to come back to mourn this time, maybe she will be calculated by the He family!" For the sake of the family's reputation, it can't be promoted...... I'm going to beg my grandmother to see if I can let her not go back to the third room, and use the excuse to help the Hou Mansion stay in the Hou Mansion! So I hope she doesn't bother us a little. ”

Even if he is a little busy in the Hou Mansion, he will not be able to cope with it with his ability to deal with Shui Jin. In particular, the busiest and most chaotic time of the funeral has passed. It's better than going back to the third room with the reputation of "you can finally rest assured that you can raise a baby", but you are walking on thin ice to prevent He's family, okay?

Who would have thought that when he arrived at the door of Old Madam Tao's house, he saw Chu Yitong come out with red eyes, and saw that she seemed to be a little embarrassed, and reluctantly pulled out a smile: "How is Lang'er?" ”

"It's already good, sister-in-law Xie cares!" Qiu Yulan said, she and Chu Yitong are not very familiar with each other, although she saw that the other party's expression was different at the moment, but she didn't want to ask too much, just pretended not to know, after a few words of greeting, Chu Yitong said that there was something in the room, and left.

Qiu Yulan watched her go away, then turned her head and entered the house, and before she entered, the old lady Tao, who was sitting at the top, split her head and said: "You came just in time, walk around your eighth sister-in-law a few times in the past two days, and bring some small things with you when you go, so that the outside knows that there is no gap between your concubines!" ”

"But somebody says that? What a grievance! How many days has it been since the eighth sister-in-law entered the door? Although I haven't gotten familiar with it yet, I don't have any resentment! Qiu Yulan said confusedly.

Mrs. Tao sighed: "She didn't finish the tea until she passed the door, your little uncle is not good, and then Lang'er had an accident, and some people talked about her life being bad, and these things in our family were brought by her when she entered the door - you also know that your starling's backyard, even if your mother has cleaned it, it is still not clean!" ”

"So that's what happened!" Qiu Yulan felt speechless, but also assured, "Granddaughter-in-law will ask someone to make some snacks in a while, and take it to visit the eighth sister-in-law." She is deeply sympathetic to the previous eighth sister-in-law, Xiao Tao, but Xiao Tao's tragedy has nothing to do with Chu Yitong, so she has no opinion on the new eighth sister-in-law, and she will not think that her son's poisoning was caused by the new eighth sister-in-law.

This will listen to Mrs. Tao's explanation, thinking that Jiang Yadan's wife is really not made by people, so she will be arranged by someone when she enters the door, and how lively it will be in the future!

Old Madam Tao said: "I know that you are an understanding person, and I also told the child not to take it to heart, you will not blame her." Then he asked, "Is there something wrong with you not guarding Lang'er to come to me?" ”

"I'm begging grandmother!" Qiu Yulan pondered the wording, because it was not good to publicize what the He family had done, and he wanted to persuade the old lady Tao to go and communicate with the old lady Ou, and leave He Shuijin at the Hou Mansion to avoid the He family, which was really difficult to say - just thought of a sentence, and when it came to his mouth, a subordinate hurriedly rushed in and said: "The fourth old man heard that the Hou master was gone, so he left the army and returned to Beijing to condole in person, leaving the fourth lady behind!" ”

Old Madam Tao was taken aback, but immediately said: "He is not the only one in charge of the Zhenbei Army, isn't there still Jing Bo in charge?" This child is filial piety...... "I feel that this person is too blind, everyone is on the way, what if this news is later?" As for being scary to rush in like this?

As a result, the man hurriedly said, "But the old lady! The news that the fourth master personally returned to Beijing to offer condolences somehow told Beihu on the day the fourth master left! The news sent by Xinying said that in ten days at most, Beihu would inevitably attack - but the messenger intercepted the fourth master on the road and asked him to return to the army to preside over the overall situation, but the fourth master said...... Say...... said that he would take it back after he was gone, but he must come back to see the Hou Ye for the last time! Old gentleman...... The old lady was fainted by anger! ”
