Chapter 173: Mrs. Zhou
ο»Ώ
Zheng Cuiye, as the only daughter of Lu Guogong Zheng Eryan, her death is not a trivial matter.
Although the Zheng family does not have the background of the scholars, it is an upstart that cannot be ignored in the new dynasty. Her death will definitely be thoroughly investigated.
Even if the Zheng family can't invite Ji to get sick now, and they can't ask Duanmu Xinmiao to judge the cause of her death, but in this world, it is not only the divine doctors and apprentices who know how to treat medicine. To be able to be a physician, there are more or less hands.
Therefore, Zhao said that Zheng Cuiye died of intestinal disease, which means that the imperial doctor did not find out that Zheng Cuiye had traces of poisoning or being killed.
It is said that this girl is usually in very good health - if it is not poisoned or killed, how can it be said that it is gone?
Although Mrs. Duanmu, the second aunt of Wei Changying before intestinal disease, also claimed to have passed away due to intestinal carbuncles, Mrs. Duanmu did not find a doctor to carefully check the cause of death that time! Could it be that Zheng Cuiye's life is really so thin, and he will die if he says he will die?
"It is said that even if Miss Duanmu Ba did not happen to be bitten by a poisonous snake, she would not help Liu Ruoyu on this, after all, once it is leaked, if Miss Duanmu Ba does not say it herself, the eldest lady of the Duanmu family and Shen Gongzi will definitely be affected." Huang thought for a moment and said, "How did this Zheng Cuiye die, but the maid has no clue." β
"Is there a medicine that can cause intestinal problems?" Wei Changying said: "Maybe Liu Ruoyu collected it by accident over the years?" I heard Xin Miao say that many things in the market are infinitely useful. When Dr. Ji was in the community in his early years, he learned a lot. β
Huang explained: "At first glance, there are medicines similar to intestinal diseases. But just now Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Gao both said that when the imperial doctor arrived there, Miss Zheng was still alive, because the medicinal materials were not in order, so she didn't make it to take the medicine. After I went, the imperial doctor also probed repeatedly. That imperial doctor is no longer as good as Doctor Ji and Miss Duanmu Ba, he is always a imperial doctor. That kind of medicine, it is okay to deceive people who can't understand medical theory, but it is impossible to deceive the imperial doctor. β
"Liu Ruoyu's hand is very powerful." Wei Changying muttered, "Even if we know that she did it, we can't tell how she did it."
"I guess it was a trick I learned by chance during the years I was out." Huang speculated.
Because they have a clear conscience, although they discuss this matter, they just talk about it.
At about the same time, Liu's Mansion was overcast, so gloomy that it was almost cloudless and pouring rain against the sky!
Liu Ruowo's wife, Mrs. Zhou, dressed up in gorgeous clothes, sat in the hall, her apricot eyes were full of domineering, and she said lukewarmly: "Clan sister? Or did my husband personally send it over? It's just! Don't say that I haven't heard of this Liu Ye you are talking about, even if she is really the daughter of the Liu family's distant branch, if she needs to be placed, then I should send her over, right? How could it be that my husband sent it over! β
She glanced at the ugly faces of the Gao family and the Zhao family, "The two of you may not understand very well, people like us have rules for doing things." The so-called male protagonist outside the female protagonist, the placement of the female dependents in the clan, my husband has absolutely no possibility of interfering, I must be the presiding officer! I don't have any impression of this Liu Ye! I haven't even seen the Zhuangzi you mentioned! β
Gao Shi heard the contempt for the Shu clan in her tone, and felt very unhappy in his heart, and said, "Mrs. Zhou is saying that this Liu Ye is not the Liu family?" But why does she live in your family's Zhuangzi, and the subordinates in your family's Zhuangzi are all called Miss Liu? β
Mrs. Zhou didn't raise her eyelids and said, "How do I know this?" As I said, I haven't been to that place beforeβalthough the Zhuangzi belongs to the private property of our house, we have so many properties, where can we be invulnerable everywhere? There will always be times when there is negligence. Generally speaking, this kind of remote Zhuangzi, as long as there is no shortage of money and food handed over every year, we are all put to the subordinates to take care of, and there is no time to ask. It may be that some bold subordinate took a fancy to this and even took the name of our Liu family to deceive! β
Speaking of this, she said with a straight face, "Thanks to the two ladies who came to remind me today, otherwise I wouldn't have known, those things that are eaten inside and out!" Not to mention the private residence of our Zhuangzi, he actually pretended to be our Liu family! β
If the Gao family and the Zhao family came to the Liu Mansion first to confirm the identity of the "Liu Ye" reported by Liu Ruoye, perhaps Mrs. Zhou's words could still send them away. The problem is that after experiencing the atmosphere of the Shen Mansion, and then boarding the door of the Liu family, which is similar to the Shen family, these two people are no longer as restrained as when they first entered the Shen Mansion.
What's more, whether Mrs. Zhou's identity in the Liu family or her mother's family situation, there is a big gap between her and Wei Changying.
So as soon as her voice fell, Zhao said: "Mrs. Zhou, you said so, but when my poor niece first stayed in that Zhuangzi, Liu Ye avoided it!" Later, because my niece's maid found that the house she let out had traces of burning famous incense, she became suspicious, so I searched for her! Although we are from a small family, we also know that famous incense is not something that ordinary people can use, right? β
Mrs. Zhou's eyelids twitched and said, "Oh, Mingxiang? It depends on what kind of incense it is, agarwood incense, Ruilin incense, etc., are commonly used by nobles, and the two ladies should be no strangers. This thing is famous, and it is not impossible for ordinary people outside to get their hands on it, and there are still some in the city that can be sold. But like the rare incense of ice, it is difficult to find out whether it is a famous family. β
Gao Shi was very displeased with her way of reminding the two sides of the difference between the two scholars, and said with a slightly sinking face: "Why does Mrs. Zhou bother to talk about other things? In short, we think that since Liu Ye keeps saying that he is the Liu family, and the Zhuangzi of the Liu family lives, I am afraid that he has a lot to do with the Liu family - you don't see anyone now and say that it has nothing to do with the Liu family, this is too child's play! β
"And what do you want?" Mrs. Zhou asked casually.
"At least a few more members of the Liu family should be invited to meet with that Liu Ye, and everyone should be sure if the Liu family is a good person, right?" The Gao family said with some patience - that Mrs. Wei from the Wei family in Fengzhou did not have such a crowd!
It's just that she didn't know that Mrs. Zhou was now holding a high shelf on the surface, but her heart was already in a mess: "Isn't this Liu Ruoyemo a disaster star?" In the early years, he restrained his mother, and now he is here to harm his husband? Zheng Cuiye's uncle Zheng Sanyan is so rude, but he is His Majesty's cousin, and his identity is transcendent! Now that the husband has risked his life to seal the prince of the country, he can suppress Liu Shili's faction, and this disaster star will come out! β
Almost the moment she knew that Zheng Cuiye died on the Zhuangzi who placed Liu Ruoye, she made up her mind not to admit this sister-in-law!
"Even if you don't mention Zheng Cuiye's death, let's just say that once her identity is exposed, the experience of the previous years will be spread, how will the girls in the family see people in the future?" Mrs. Zhou gritted her teeth secretly, "I have two sons under my knees now, can I have no other children in the future?" This unassuming thing! If she was sincere to her husband, she shouldn't have come back to meet us after that experience! Is it bad to die out silently? Even if she is thinking about her husband, after seeing her husband, why is she still unwilling to die?! As a result, he has lived to harm people until now! β
"I can't recognize it anyway! Fortunately, the imperial capital fell at the beginning, and almost all the old servants who watched her husband grow up with her died. Mrs. Zhou pondered, "And after so many years, it is not necessarily that people who have seen her before will definitely be able to recognize her." Even if I recognize it, can I resist the speculation of outsiders to be more accurate than the admission of our room? β
In short, Mrs. Zhou sent the Gao family and the Zhao family out of the house in a noble and cold manner, the more the two thought about Mrs. Zhou's impatient and perfunctory face, the more angry they became, thinking that they couldn't explain to the Wang family when they went back like this, so they simply didn't go to the Lu Guogong Mansion, turned around and entered the palace!
Queen Qiu was not surprised by their arrival - as early as when the queen received the news of Zheng Cuiye's death, Qiu Baoniang asserted that Queen Qiu couldn't get out of this matter.
To be honest, Queen Qiu liked her cousin Zheng Cuiye very much in the past, but after the Wang family entered the palace and poured out Zheng Cuiye's admiration for Shen Zangfeng, Qiu Baoniang understated: "Why is this Miss Zheng like this?" Relying on her young beauty to rob other people's husbands, not to mention the love between Lord Shen and Mrs. Wei, she may not be able to grab it. Even if she can grab it, Mrs. Wei is so dignified and didn't offend her, but she was made desolate by her youth, which is really pitiful! β
These words suddenly aroused the sadness of Queen Qiu - wasn't she, the wife, overwhelmed by a group of young and beautiful concubines, and even her own children suffered from it?
After that, Queen Qiu was not very pleasing to Zheng Cuiye, and now that she heard that she was dead, there was a faint happiness in her heart, as if symbolizing that this kind of woman who wants to rob someone else's husband will not die well.
But in the end, Zheng Cuiye grew up with her, no matter how bad the impression is, there is still some affection, and now I hear Gao and Zhao crying that Zheng Eryan's only bone and blood are gone at a young age, but he can't even find out who the murderer is, and he feels uncomfortable.
The queen asked about Wang's body, and said to the Gao family and the Zhao family with some regret: "Originally, Aunt Qiu in front of this palace is the most shrewd and capable, if she comes forward, she may be able to see something." Unfortunately, she was fine in the morning, but when she went down the steps just now, she fell down and hit her head, and she was still unconscious, so she couldn't help. β
The Gao family and the Zhao family also knew that Queen Qiu's status in the palace recently was not comparable to that of the past, and most of it was due to the merit of her aunt with the same surname as the queen. The queen needs to sit in the sixth palace, and she will definitely not go out of the palace to investigate Zheng Cuiye's death in person, they originally expected this Aunt Qiu to be able to preside over the overall situation on behalf of the queen - whether it is the Gao family, the Zhao family, or the Wang family, their background and talent are not very good, and they can deal with it if they usually learn to preside over the middle feed, but the matter of Zheng Cuiye's death has been dealt with in a mess.
Seeing that the queen couldn't count on leaving the palace here, the Gao family and the Zhao family had no choice but to say: "Then ask Niangniang to try this matter in Weiyang Palace?" β
"You bring people to the palace, and the palace will ask." Queen Qiu muttered in her heart, "But I hope Aunt Qiu will wake up soon." "She doesn't know what to do with this kind of thing? Now Wang's meaning is to suspect that someone has killed Zheng Cuiye and wants to find out the real culprit.
But the queen has never been a Qiu Qingtian
In any case, since the queen wants to inquire in person, Wei Changying and Mrs. Zhou, the two people involved, have to pack up and enter the palace and go to the Changle Hall to defend themselves.
"Liu Ruoye and Mrs. Gao reported the name of 'Liu Ye', and said that it was the far branch of the Liu family, but the aunt knew her details. When the time comes, I will pierce her on the spot, what will I do if she sees her? "At this time, it was the following year, Shen Shuyan and Ji Yiren returned to the Shen Mansion a year ago, and they were waiting for the chief of the guard these days. At this moment, one chose the hairpin ring to wear when entering the palace for Wei Changying, and the other picked up a shawl with a dress for Wei Changying, Shen Shuyan smiled and said, "I don't know what Mrs. Zhou will say at that time?" It seems that Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Gao denied that she was from the Liu family. β
Wei Changying looked at her makeup in the mirror, and said with a smile when she heard the words: "This thing tells you that it is for you to have a heart, but Yan'er still hasn't passed." β
Shen Shuyan was stunned: "Huh? β
"The last time I sent Mrs. Gao and them, I reminded them that our family had only made a marriage with the Liu family, and it is said that the Liu family would not dismantle our family's platform at this joint, especially the person surnamed Liu came out to dismantle it in person." Wei Changying smiled and said, "Otherwise, the Liu family will be too unkind." If I, the Shen family, now expose Liu Ruoye's identity, do you say that others don't talk about the Shen family's unkindness? β
Seeing that Shen Shuyan and Ji Yiren were thoughtful, Wei Changying said: "Don't underestimate Liu Ruoye too much!" She was involved in such a big event, and she dared to fabricate a fake identity, do you think she didn't think about it? She was determined that it was not easy to disclose the places where Zheng Cuiye's thoughts were not right during her lifetime, so the female dependents who were not involved would not be summoned to the scene even if the queen tried them in person; Second, except for Mrs. Zhou, it is possible that I will recognize her, and I am hindered by Shen Liu from getting married, so it is not good to openly tell her identity. Even if others tell her true identity, maybe I will have to help Mrs. Zhou deny it together."
"Then let her go?" Ji Yi people said in confusion.
"How is that possible?" Wei Changying smiled: "She's struggling now, and it's almost now." β
