Chapter 875: Second Aunt
Xiao Fuyuan sat beside Zhen obediently.
Hearing Lin Shaofang's words, he couldn't help but prick up his ears.
Could it be that it is a big gossip about whose family.
"What did you say?"
Zhen saw that Lin Shaofang seemed to have made a lot of determination, but he felt that this matter was probably not trivial.
"Cousin, a few days ago, I happened to hear Zhuangzi's old servant who came to the house to pay New Year's greetings gossip in the kitchen. said that when my mother-in-law came out of the funeral, there was no one in the coffin......
When Lin Shaofang heard the news, he asked the servant at that time. But the servant said nothing more, but said that he had deliberately frightened people, and hurried away.
She suspected that her mother-in-law's death was only afraid that there was a hidden secret, although she had never seen her mother-in-law, but she heard people occasionally talk about her mother-in-law as a beautiful, kind and weak person, when she married into the Zhong family, she was tortured in every way, and after the defeat of Zhen's mansion, her father-in-law still tortured her day and night regardless of the fact that she had given birth to a son.
Then she hanged herself.
Because she committed suicide, even the Queen Mother couldn't get justice for her, so she could only take away the post of the Zhong family master in the army as a punishment.
Lin Shaofang didn't dare to inquire in the Zhong family, the former servants were all sold or sent to Zhuangzi, even if she inquired, she probably wouldn't be able to find out.
Because my father-in-law is a ruthless person, everyone is afraid of my father-in-law, and my father-in-law's temper will be beaten to the flesh regardless of it.
She knew that her man was unreliable, her step-mother-in-law was even more unreliable, and the uncle and aunt of the Zhen family were even more indifferent to her mother-in-law's death, and she couldn't find someone to discuss.
The only people who are concerned about the death of her mother-in-law are the Queen Mother and the Zhen cousin, and the Queen Mother does not wait to see the Zhong family and forbids the Zhong family to enter the palace, so she naturally can't see the Queen Mother.
After thinking about it, only the cousin of the Zhen family can discuss.
Therefore, after finishing the New Year's celebration these days, he came to the Bai family to discuss with Zhen.
"What does it mean that there is no one in the coffin?" Without waiting for Zhen to speak, the old lady Bai on the side looked puzzled.
The second lady of the Zhen family she has seen, a very honest and beautiful girl, I heard that the Zhong family treats her badly, and she was beaten on the night she got married.
Could it be that the old man of the Zhong family believed in some wild three ways and what methods he did, so that the second miss of the Zhen family would not be able to live in peace when she died?
This is not unusual, when she was in Shenshu Village, she heard that some people were subordinates, tortured their daughters-in-law to death, and sold their daughters-in-law to others for marriage.
Lin Shaofang shook his head and said, "I'm also confused, what does it mean that there is no one in the coffin? I sent my personal grandmother to inquire about the old servants in Zhuangzi, but I didn't find out. I'm afraid of startling the snake, so I've come to talk to my cousin."
"Cousin, do you say that it is possible that my father-in-law will not let my mother-in-law live in the ground, and destroy or hide my mother-in-law's body." Lin Shaofang couldn't figure it out if he wanted to break his head.
Zhen shook her head, she felt that things were not that simple.
"Mother, I have one thing in mind." Xiao Fuyuan sat next to him and said casually.
"What do you think?" Zhen asked his daughter with a smile.
Maybe there can be a clue to my daughter's words.
If he can find his second aunt who died at the hands of the Zhong family, Zhen will inevitably avenge the second aunt.
"Mother, do you remember that Sister Qiu always thought that her mother was dead, but Sister Qingya killed in the Rongguo Palace and found out that Sister Qiu's mother had been imprisoned in the palace......" Xiao Fuyuan opened a pair of big eyes and mentioned the matter of Qiu Niang's mother.
Lin Shaofang didn't understand what it meant.
Zhen's mind crackled and fires flashed.
Is it possible that the second aunt did not die at all, but was imprisoned by the Zhong family?
Thinking of this, Zhen's hairs stood up.
If this is the case, the master of the Zhong family is really cruel, and he actually imprisoned a big living person alive for nearly thirty years.
Mrs. Bai thought the same as Zhen, and she looked at her little granddaughter.
I have believed ten points in my heart.
"In that case, it's possible that your second aunt is still alive." Old Lady Bai said to Zhen.
Zhen nodded slightly.
She prefers to believe that the second aunt is still alive
Make move.
"Second aunt and grandmother may still be alive." Xiao Fuyuan said.
Lin Shaofang is not stupid, she figured out the story told by Xiao Fuyuan at once, and said excitedly: "Cousin and the old lady mean that my mother-in-law may still be alive and may be ...... Imprisoned by my father-in-law?"
Lin Shaofang wrinkled his eyebrows and said, "But what is he doing when he imprisons a big living person?"
Zhen said with a sad face, "Sometimes it is more painful to live than to die."
The old man of the Zhong family is such a perverted person, thinking of a way to torture the second aunt, maybe let the second aunt beg for death but not for life can satisfy his perverted thoughts more.
"And where will my mother-in-law be imprisoned?" Lin Shaofang said in a trembling voice.
Her first thought may have been Zhuangzishang.
"Is it possible that Zhuangzi is on the top?"
Zhen naturally didn't know, but she felt that it was unlikely to be Zhuangzi, how could Zhuangzi be safer under his nose.
"Maybe in your garden?" Zhen said.
Lin Shaofang's eyes widened.
It's not out of the question.
But do your stepmother-in-law and husband know about this?
Do she want to tell her husband, after all, she is her husband's biological mother.
Zhen seemed to see Lin Shaofang's thoughts, and said, "I think you keep this matter a secret for the time being, after all, the matter is still uncertain, and the less people know, the better. You can sneak around at home first, and it's impossible for me not to close it. If my second aunt is really imprisoned, I have to release her as soon as possible."
Zhen didn't believe in his cousin Zhong He's character, even if he knew that his mother was imprisoned, he was afraid that he would be on his father's side.
"Don't startle the snake first, I will also report to the Queen Mother here, her own sister can't sit idly by."
In order to confirm the speculation, Zhen's next plan was to ask his fourth child to find someone to open the coffin of the second aunt to see if there were any remains inside.
Lin Shaofang couldn't hold back her trembling, she understood what Zhen meant.
At the same time, he decided to go home and act as if nothing had happened, and secretly inquired into the house.
"I just cared about talking to you, but I forgot that Master Su Yu was waiting for you in the backyard." Zhen said.
So Lin Shaofang got up and went to the backyard to talk to Su Yu.
"Mother, grandma, sister, the troupe is about to start......
Tian Maimiao walked in and invited Zhen and Xiao Fuyuan and others to watch the play.
Feng Zhiheng followed behind and said to Xiao Fuyuan with great interest: "Sister, I just went backstage to see a shadow puppet show, let's go quickly."
"Okay, let's take a good look today." Xiao Fuyuan stood up.
"Do you want to tell the Queen Mother about your second aunt?" Old Lady Bai asked.
Zhen thought for a while and said, "The Queen Mother has had a lot of things in the past few days, so I won't tell you first, and I will find out the whereabouts of the second aunt and tell her."
When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came to the stage, they saw that the fourth child of the Bai family was peeling grapes for the princess, and invited the fourth child to tell the fourth aunt about the second aunt.
The princess said she could send her secret guard to infiltrate Zhong's house to take a look.
Zhen put his mind at ease, this is always more reliable than Lin Shaofang secretly checking.
