Chapter 39: Clues Found
This little guy is white and pure, and at first glance it is not a mud leg like them who have lived in the countryside for a long time.
"May I ask who your wife is?"
Ye Hao, who came out of the crowd, was more conspicuous among the group of women, and she was also the most outstanding one among the people present by her appearance.
As soon as the little guy saw her, he instantly understood that the Mrs. Xie he was looking for was the very beautiful young woman in front of him, and he was stunned for a moment and then hurriedly bent down.
"My wife is the wife of the boss of the wine shop in the county, and I would like to ask you to come out and meet her."
Hearing the other party's explanation, Ye Hao reacted to who came to find her.
Could it be that Mrs. Wu found some clues and came to her to discuss?
Thinking of this, she hurriedly explained her unfinished work to the women beside her, and hurried through the crowd to the outside of the courtyard.
Now that there are too many people in the family, it is indeed not suitable to say those private words with Mrs. Wu, so it is better to go out and find a quiet and private place to talk.
And there are quite a few women who come to help, enough to complete the work of cooking, and it doesn't really make much difference with her or not.
Walking out of the courtyard, Ye Hao saw a rather luxurious blue curtain carriage parked at the door of his house, and there was no one sitting outside the carriage.
"My wife is in the carriage, please go up and talk about it."
While talking, the little servant took down the low stool from the car and helped Ye Hao to walk up.
While walking into the carriage, Ye Hao noticed that this time Mrs. Wu came to visit, and it seemed that she didn't bring anyone else except this little guy.
Maybe she found out something and became suspicious of the two maids beside her, so she didn't take it.
The last time she talked to the other party, the most suspicious people in Ye Hao's heart were Mrs. Wu's two personal maids, and only they met the conditions for the mastermind behind the scenes.
Lifting the curtain and walking into the carriage, Ye Hao saw Mrs. Wu sitting inside, looking a little tired and flustered.
"Mrs. Wu, what are you?"
As soon as her words came out of her mouth, the other party grabbed her and sat beside her.
"Junko, you keep an eye around and don't let people get near the carriage."
"Yes, ma'am."
The little servant who received the order quickly put down the curtain, turned over and got out of the carriage, and patrolled around.
Seeing that the other party is so cautious, it must be something that has been found!
Ye Hao quietly pressed the doubts in her heart, turned her eyes to Mrs. Wu, and quietly waited for her to take the initiative to tell herself.
It wasn't until she saw Ye Hao's figure that Mrs. Wu felt that she had met the backbone of the main heart, and the anxious mood in her heart calmed down a little.
She took a deep breath before she slowly spoke:
"Since the last time you told me about that, I asked Junzi to stare at Wu Dong, oh yes, Wu Dong is the son of the housekeeper of the Wu Mansion. I also started to pay attention to Ying'er and Yan'er on weekdays, and yesterday I really noticed something wrong! ”
The emotions on Mrs. Wu's face were extremely complicated, with anger and infighting, as well as pain and sorrow.
After all, those two maids have been with her for nearly ten years, and they usually exist as sisters, but now she finds that she has been betrayed by the people closest to her, and she must feel uncomfortable.
"There are two points, one is that after checking the whereabouts of Wu Dong that Junzi investigated, he found that he and Ying'er Yan'er often went to Jinquan Temple outside the city. Another point is that after checking the account books in the house, I found that the cloth for making handkerchiefs that Ying'er Yan'er received on weekdays was far more than the ones given to me! ”
For the housekeeping in the house, Mrs. Wu has always been more relaxed, and the people in the house occasionally received some more supplies, but she turned a blind eye and let them go.
Especially the two personal maids beside him, they have two things, and they don't ask at all.
It is precisely because of his own indulgence of them that the other party has a chance to take advantage of it!
Speaking of which, I still have to blame myself for this, I trust the people around me too much.
Coupled with the incident of Jinquan Temple found by Shunzi Shunteng, it can quickly be thought of who is behind the ghost.
In Mrs. Wu's impression, Ying'er Yan'er rarely interacted with Wu Dong on weekdays, at least these people had no contact in front of her.
And the two of them often go to Jinquan Temple to Mrs. Wu is clear, this is their habit for many years, every fifteenth day of the new year will go to worship the Buddha, saying that it is to pray for their family.
At that time, she thought that although the two maids were younger, they were quite filial, so she agreed to ask them for leave to worship the Buddha.
Now I look at it, where is filial piety, obviously it is a lover!
"Did Wu Dong and the two maids go to Jinquan Temple on the same day?"
After listening to Mrs. Wu's words, Ye Hao determined in her heart that the two maids must have a ghost guess, but for some details, they still have to carefully check it.
Her question made Mrs. Wu frown, and then shook her head.
"It doesn't seem to be all, Shunzi said that Wu Dong has only been going to Jinquan Temple often in the past year, and he is not like Ying'er and Yan'er who have a fixed time, but go when they are free, very often."
Such an answer made Ye Hao a little uncertain.
According to Mrs. Wu, the two maids went together, but the time did not coincide with Wu Dong, which means that they were not necessarily involved in this conspiracy.
This matter needs to be investigated in detail, and we can't make a conclusion too early.
Thinking of this, she held the other party's hand, conveyed some warmth to the other party, and comforted:
"Mrs. Wu, we have found the clues now, you just need to investigate carefully, send reliable people to keep an eye on them, and try to catch the evidence."
Grabbing Ye Hao's hand, Mrs. Wu suddenly felt that she was not as flustered and helpless as before she came, so she calmed down slightly and nodded.
But she was inevitably still a little lost and scared in her heart, and said hesitantly:
"But I'm afraid ...... in case"
In case this matter is suddenly punctured, how can you justify it? With just these few doubts, can people believe that they didn't have an affair with Wu Dong?
She knew very well that this was impossible, after all, Wu Dong did have his own personal handkerchief, which was an ironclad fact!
"Don't be afraid, don't worry, I will be on your side in this matter. Even if something happens along the way, I'll do my best to help you! ”
Saying with an oath, Ye Hao looked at Mrs. Wu with a firm look in her eyes, increasing her confidence in the other party.
Although she is not from this era, she also understands the consequences of such a thing happening to a married woman.
Even if the other party didn't help her, Ye Hao couldn't watch a woman being hurt by someone.
With her cheering, Mrs. Wu stabilized her mind and nodded no longer afraid.
Seeing that her expression was better, Ye Hao smiled slightly and continued to comfort.
"We've already checked here, I believe it will come out soon, you don't have to worry too much, as long as you can catch the evidence, any conspiracy will be self-defeating."
After the two chatted for a while, Ye Hao got up and left the carriage.
Mrs. Wu never got out of the carriage, not because she hated the countryside, but because what she said today was too secretive, and she was unwilling to reveal her whereabouts.
Junzi is the only subordinate who came with her, because the other party was a little girl who had followed Boss Wu since she was a child, and she was only arranged to be by her side after Mrs. Wu got married.
But usually Mrs. Wu has two personal maids by her side, Ying'er and Yan'er, so Shunzi actually followed Boss Wu until this time.
When Mrs. Wu no longer trusted the two personal maids, the first thing she thought of was Shunzi, the other party was Boss Wu's henchman, and there would definitely be no problem.
And this matter is too difficult to talk about, she didn't reveal too much to the other party, only said that he should stare at Wu Dong.
After watching the carriage kick up dust and leave, Ye Hao turned around and returned to the courtyard this time and continued to be busy cooking.
As soon as she sat down to work, a familiar figure approached her.
"Fang just seems to be a lady from the county, right?"
Aunt Huang asked her curiously, gossip written all over her face.
Everyone knows that Ye Hao and Xie Yunshu are the same as them, they were all exiled here, and they should not be acquaintances in the local area.
can let a lady in the county go to a remote village to find her, no matter how you look at it, this matter has deep meaning, and Aunt Huang also took advantage of her good relationship with Ye Hao, so she came to gossip.
There is something about Mrs. Wu, Ye Hao didn't mention it to anyone, after all, if one person knows about this kind of thing, there is less risk.
can know that she has a relationship with Mrs. Wu, and only Huang Chuan, who was once blocked by Song An with her.
But Huang Chuan is a clever person, who has been a small trader for many years, often deals with people, and knows how to look at eyes very well.
When he came back from that day, he saw that there had been no news of the incident, and he did not say a word about it.
Even his aunt Aunt Huang didn't reveal half a word.
This also led to Aunt Huang not knowing who was coming at all, and asked about it with some curiosity.
Hearing her words, many women around them turned their eyes and looked at Ye Hao curiously.
Ye Hao didn't want to tell Mrs. Wu about it, so she casually found a reason to perfunctory it.
"The one who used to eat the yellow eel and snails I made came and asked if I could teach her. Didn't I sell the recipe to Mochizuki? I had to refuse her, so I talked a little more. ”
There was nothing wrong with these words, especially in the eyes of the woman in the village with solid eyes, and no one doubted what she said.
They had tasted those two dishes, and they were so delicious that it was not uncommon for people to come to their door for them.
And Mochizuki Tower also takes good care of their entire village, so everyone naturally won't complain about it.
Seeing that everyone dispelled their curiosity, Ye Hao breathed a sigh of relief.
She was busy for a while, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she pretended to ask Aunt Huang beside her casually:
"Aunt Huang, do you know what temples we have near here? I've been here for so long, and I've always encountered some troubles, and I want to worship the Buddha. ”
As soon as these words came out, Aunt Huang frowned slightly, and immediately replied:
"It's time to say goodbye, look at this brick thief! If you want to talk about the temple, there is only one in our entire county, called Jinquan Temple, the incense is good on weekdays, if you are interested, I will take you to worship another day? ”
She didn't have the slightest suspicion about Ye Hao's question.
In the context of such an era, it is very common to worship the Buddha and worship the Buddha, so Ye Hao dared to ask directly.
And things are as she guessed, this place is so remote and desolate, there is only one temple, and that is the one that the two maids and Wu Dong often go to.
In this matter, Ye Hao finally has a place to use, and she is ready to contribute to the other party.
"That's good! When you have a free day, take me there." ”
The two hit it off and immediately set a time for the matter.
Now I'm busy building a new house, and I can only do it after it's built.
