Chapter 210: Likeness

Li Qingyi thought for a moment and asked first, "Has the noble man ever mentioned to you about the affairs in the palace?"

Tan shook his head and choked up, "Rong'er has been in the palace for a short time, and her position is not high. So I haven't seen her since she entered the palace. On weekdays, letters can't say much about things in the palace, only some parents are short. I didn't expect to meet again, but she ...... ended up like this......

The real name of the good nobleman is Pan Yuerong, and he got the title "Liang" after he became pregnant.

"So, did a good person express any special emotions in his letters, such as being unaccustomed to something, or being dissatisfied with the subordinates who served him, etc.?"

Tan didn't know what the use of these questions was for the case, but because Qin Zeng was staring at her with a cold face on the side, he didn't dare to show an impatient look, and replied in a 1510 way: "Although she has not been in the palace for a long time, because she was successfully pregnant, the emperor has a lot of favor to her, and everything is exquisite and thoughtful, presumably there will be nothing unaccustomed, and she did not mention it in the letter......

She thought for a moment and said, "It's just that when I first entered the palace, I often said that I missed her father and me. He also said that it was too difficult to see each other in the future...... You also know that even if I can go to the palace to visit in the future, I can't say anything more."

There are many eyeliners in the palace, especially between concubines and concubines, and there are endless means of competing for favor, where can you talk at will or even complain.

Li Qingyi expressed her understanding and listened to Tan's words: "Fortunately, the two girls around Rong'er have grown up with her since childhood, and they can talk to her on weekdays. It's just that there was a letter, she said that the jade comb was going to leave the palace at twenty-five, although Linglong was safe, but she was too timid and afraid, and she was not suitable for being in the palace, and she might have to leave when she was old. She was very distressed and mentioned it to me twice......

"It seems that the good nobleman is very considerate of his maidservant, and Yucomb said that she wanted to leave the palace, and she actually agreed."

"yes...... Rong'er has a very good temper, and she never treats the people around her harshly."

Li Qingyi is noncommittal, the mother looks at her daughter, and she is naturally good everywhere.

She asked, "Can Madame explain to me in detail about the marriage contract between the noble man and the Yu family?"

Tan Shi was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect that she already knew about it, and her expression was a little strange.

Li Qingyi said: "I already know about the general matter, but I am afraid of missing some subtleties, so please don't hide it from my wife."

"This, this thing...... Is it related to Rong'er's death?" Tan's face gradually turned pale, and she sneered, "What do you mean, this matter is the revenge of the Yu family......

Li Qingyi looked at her with some surprise.

Tan directly said the sentence "revenge of the Yu family", indicating that she knew in her heart that about Pan Yuerong's family affairs, their Pan Mansion was sorry for the Yu family.

But the matter of retiring from relatives is not because Yu Gongzi is sick and stupid?

Even if Pan Fu took the initiative to withdraw from his family, it is understandable.

After all, no one would marry a good daughter to a fool.

Presumably, the party who was dismissed will not say anything to blame even if he complains and is sad.

In that case, why is Tan so uneasy in his heart? Why does she feel indebted to the point that she thinks the other person is likely to retaliate?

Li Qingyi looked directly into her eyes, and did not say through this joint, but said, "This possibility is not ruled out, but before the matter is decided, everything is just a possibility, Mrs. Pan should not think too much about it first."

Tan Shi was silent, knowing that he couldn't hide, so he had to say, "Rong'er did have a family affair before that he was married. Because Pan's house and the Yu family are old friends, they have always had contacts. But the Yu family brother suddenly fell ill and became stupid and stupid. The Yu family tried many ways but couldn't cure it. We...... I can't watch my daughter marry a fool, so I can only choose to quit my family......

"Yu Gongzi suddenly fell ill, was it before or after Pan Fu learned the emperor's intentions?"

Tan was taken aback, and immediately said, "I can't remember."

But then a look of remorse appeared on her face, as if she knew that her lie could be easily exposed, so she changed her tone and said, "It seems to be later...... Originally, Rong'er didn't want to enter the palace, but who knew that Yu Gongzi would

At this time, Rong'er has no other choice......

Even so, when Pan Yuerong was sick and entered the palace, she turned her face and entered the palace, which was a little colder, after all, they were a couple who had known each other since childhood and had a marriage contract.

But Li Qingyi did not refute her defense, but just followed her words and asked, "Can Mrs. Pan take me to the courtyard where the noble man lived before?" Are the people in her courtyard still in the house?"

Seeing that she no longer asked about the Yu family, Tan nodded happily and guided her out of the flower hall. While taking her to the courtyard where Pan Yuerong lived before leaving the pavilion, he said, "She only brought Jade Comb and Linglong with her when she entered the palace, and the others, some of them are still there, and some of them have been assigned to other places."

Basho Pavilion has been uninhabited for a long time, but it is clean, and no one feels empty.

It can also be seen from this that Pan Yushi and his wife love their daughter very much.

When a few little girls in the courtyard saw outsiders coming, they all stood in the corner curiously and looked around.

Tan said, "This is Miss Li, who was personally appointed by the emperor to investigate the case, and you all came over."

Li Qingyi nodded at them and said to the Tan family, "Madame, can you call the sister of the good nobleman to come, I still have something to ask her."

Tan was a little hesitant, Li Qingyi seemed to want to ask these girls separately, but the other party wanted to ask her little daughter for questioning, and she, a mother, had to go and tell her in person, and after thinking about it, she had to walk out of the yard quickly.

Li Qingyi looked at the handmaidens in front of him and asked, "What were you all doing in the courtyard before?"

These three people were all people who were not very effective in the Basho Pavilion before, otherwise they would not have been able to stay in the courtyard after the master left the pavilion.

After listening to Li Qingyi's questioning, they all answered honestly.

The two third-class maidservants, Qing'er and Guo'er, do some things like boiling water and sprinkling the house, and basically don't serve in front of Pan Yuerong. And the rough girl Xiao Tang specializes in laundry.

Li Qingyi looked at them gently, smiled and comforted, "Don't be nervous, it's just a routine question, it's not a big deal."

Several people glanced at each other, and they all nodded and looked at Li Qingyi, waiting for her to ask.

Li Qingyi gave Chang Yan a look, asked her to guard at the gate of the courtyard, and reminded her if she saw Tan coming back, and then asked, "Although you don't serve in front of good nobles, you will definitely pay attention to your master's itinerary on weekdays, right?"

"Yes, when the master is here, we must be ready to wait, boil water when we bathe, and make tea when we are thirsty."

"Do you walk around the house and Yu at home a lot?"

"Quite a lot." Qing'er nodded in agreement, "Because Lord Yu let go of his foreign duties, only his wife and children were left at home. And Pan's house and the Yu family are old friends, so the lady often takes the two girls to the Yu family as guests, and they move around very often."

"So that's the case, then do you remember that before the good nobles entered the palace, the last time they went to the Yu Mansion was before or after Gongzi's illness?"

"It's before."

Xiao Tang seemed to be impressed by this matter, and before the other two people could react, he immediately said.

"That time the girl went to Yu's mansion because Yu Gongzi was infected with a cold, so Mrs. took the girl to visit, and then the girl also fed Yu Gongzi medicine with her own hands, because she accidentally spilled the medicine on her dress. I wasted a lot of effort in washing that garment, so I remember it very clearly."

Li Qingyi pondered, "Did Yu Gongzi become stupid after that?"

"Well, I heard that Yu Gongzi's cold worsened, and after the high fever, he became demented, and even Mrs. Yu didn't recognize it." Qing'er said in a regretful tone, "I heard that Yu Gongzi's life is good, and his temperament is also warm, but it's a pity that his life is not good."

"Mrs. Pan and you girls, even the other party has to go over to visit, why didn't Yu Gongzi go over after he was seriously ill and stupid?"

Qing'er and Xiaocheng glanced at each other and shook their heads.

At this time, Guo'er, who had not spoken, spoke: "At that time, the girl already knew the emperor's intentions, and she had the heart to enter the palace, where would she go to see other men, what if the emperor changed his mind after knowing about it? What's more, Yu Gongzi is stupid

The news of the incurable has come back, and the Pan Mansion is busy withdrawing from his relatives at the moment, and how will he face the family when he goes to the door again?"

There seemed to be a lot of resentment in her tone, and she didn't know if it was for Yu Gongzi's injustice.

Li Qingyi looked at her and asked in a low voice, "You girl and Yu Gongzi have known each other since childhood, not to mention the relationship between men and women, the friendship between friends should be good, right?"

"How can there be no love between men and women?" Guo'er shook her head, frowned, and said, "Yu Gongzi is a talent, and the girl has always been very satisfied with this family business. The two are married on their fingers, so when they walk around each other, there are fewer taboos. Growing up together, even kittens and dogs should have feelings, right?"

However, no matter how emotional, which is more important, glory and wealth and a childhood sweetheart who has become stupid?

A few people were silent for a moment, and Li Qingyi turned to other topics: "After Yucomb and Linglong accompanied the good nobles into the palace, there were only a few of you left in this courtyard?" Where did everyone else go?"

Qing'er said, "Naturally, it will be merged into other courtyards."

"Did any of these people have an accident?"

"Huh? How do you know? Someone had an accident, and the red bean fell into the well and drowned......" Qing'er's face was a little strange, for fear of disturbing the soul of the dead, and whispered, "Not long before the girl entered the palace, someone found the body one morning......

"Red beans?"

"Well, it's the second-class maid next to the girl."

Li Qingyi's heart moved, and just as he was about to ask again, the Tan family brought Pan Yuejiao, the sister of the good nobleman, in. She had no choice but to shut up, stood up and greeted, "Mrs. Pan, Second Miss Pan."

Pan Yuejiao is the same age as Li Qingyi, and her appearance is very similar to that of a good nobleman, but her facial features are more delicate and lovely than that of a good nobleman, and she is sweet and a little childish: "Miss Li is polite."

Li Qingyi looked at her, remembered what the county lord of Yuanheng said, and couldn't help nodding secretly.

This sister of the good nobleman does look more like Ruying, so the emperor saw the good lady at the palace banquet, didn't he see her sister?

The three of them sat down, and Li Qingyi motioned for Qing'er to retreat, and then said, "Second Miss Pan is very similar to a good nobleman."
