【One more chapter】

After Aunt Zhao seized the position and seized power, in order to show that she had successfully ascended to the top position, she deliberately urged Jia Zheng to move a lot of decorations from the main room to the side room. Even the candlesticks in the living room were reduced by half.

Under the dim light, Mrs. Wang looked at the burly and tall Jiao Shun in front of her, and somehow felt a strange sense of oppression, so she was not in a hurry to let Caixia Caiyun back out, but pointed to her head and said, "Sit down and talk—" —Caixia, serve tea."

After Jiao Shun sat down and Caixia offered another cup of tea, Mrs. Wang calmed down the emotional fluctuations in her heart, slightly raised her head and said, "You guys go down too."

Said to have calmed down, after Caixia Caiyun bowed and retreated outside the door, Mrs. Wang still couldn't help being a little embarrassed, thinking over and over again about the scene of that day - what did she do when she lost her mind? I don't have many impressions, and most of them are based on the retellings of the maids and women.

But the most fearful thing in everything is brain supplementation!

Especially during this time alone, all kinds of absurd thoughts kept coming out. In order to divert attention, Mrs. Wang explained the root cause of the Shijia brothers' quarrel before Jiao Shun opened her mouth: "If we really want to talk about this matter, it would be better You can’t blame Zhong Jinghou [Shi Ding] for being greedy, because when the old Baolinghou was still alive, he had already planted the root of his brother’s discord.”

"At that time, the previous Marquis Zhongjing died young. While supporting his adoptive son Xijue, the old Marquis took the opportunity to extort a lot of property from the Marquis Zhongjing's mansion. After the old Marquis passed away, Marquis Zhongjing came to ask for it. Bao Linghou resolutely refused, and the two brothers had a rift."

"Marquis Zhongjing is making a fuss now, firstly because of the half-baked stake in Yun girl, and secondly, most likely because he wants to take the opportunity to turn over old debts."

Jiao Shun was a bit strange at first, but after all, Shi Xiangyun grew up in Hou Baoling's mansion since he was a child, no matter how shameless Zhong Jinghou was, how could he have the confidence to compete with Hou Baoling?

It is only now that I understand that there is such a reason inside.

But these are not important. What Jiao Shun cares most now is to cooperate with Mrs. Wang internally and externally to find out the real evidence of Aunt Zhao's murder!
"I see."

As soon as Mrs. Wang finished speaking, he nodded slightly, then stood up solemnly and said, "Thank you, Auntie, for explaining the confusion, but my nephew's reason for asking to see Auntie this time is actually..."

"Mrs!"

Suddenly someone outside the door said loudly: "My master is awake, and I am in a hurry to ask Brother Jiao to talk, I don't know if there is something important!"

The voice was wheezing and panting, but it was Jia Tanchun who flew back at this critical moment!

Jia Zheng is sober, what else is important to tell him?

Jiao Shun frowned when he heard this, feeling that something was a little strange.

Besides, there are rumors that you have your own maid, so why send your unmarried daughter here?What's more, running so out of breath?

But Mrs. Wang felt as if she had been pardoned after hearing this, she hurriedly got up to see the guests off and said, "Since the master is in a hurry to invite you over, it's the same if you ask him about the historian's affairs in person."

"This……"

Jiao Shun looked outside the door suspiciously, and decided to make a quick cut, regardless of the three sevens and twenty ones, first reveal Aunt Zhao's suspicion to Mrs. Wang, and then say: "Actually..."

However, just as he raised his voice, Tanchun opened the door and walked in, urging repeatedly: "The master is really urgent, please don't delay, Brother Jiao."

But now Jiao Shun was in trouble.

He suspected that Tanchun had guessed something, otherwise he wouldn't be so reckless.

Ordinarily, the more this is the case, the sooner the matter should be revealed, so as not to delay it and become an accident.

But the problem is that Jiao Shun has no real evidence in his hands, and the reason why he is determined to be the murderer of Aunt Zhao is based on his vague impression of the plot of the Red Chamber.

And this reason cannot be stated clearly.

Just as he was hesitating, Tanchun walked quickly to Mrs. Wang's side and whispered a few words in his ear.

Seeing Mrs. Wang's complexion suddenly changed, she bit her lower lip fiercely, stomped her feet and rushed into the room.

This……

It's not easy for Jiao Shun to follow in, right?
Forget it, if this road fails, we can only find another way.

Looking at Tanchun not far away with a smirk on his face, Jiao Shun arched his hands heavily, and said, "Please ask the third younger sister to lead the way."

Just now he was only skeptical, but now it is basically confirmed that Jia Tanchun sensed something, so he came back to stop him.

But how could this girl see her intentions?
Could it be that she was also involved in the assassination of Mrs. Wang?

How else could it be...

But Jiao Shun thought too much this time, Tanchun had nothing to do with this matter, it was because he noticed Aunt Zhao's abnormal behavior before and after the incident, he had doubts in his heart, so he quickly figured everything out .

Just as he was thinking wildly, Tanchun returned a salute neither humble nor overbearing: "Brother Jiao, come with me."

It was obviously only a few steps away, and Jiao Shun had just come out of the wing, but she still tacitly agreed to lead the way.

Seeing that Tanchun walked around him without looking sideways, he walked out of the main room first.

Jiao Shun also hurriedly followed, walking around the veranda step by step under the probing gazes of the gatekeeper and Caixia Caiyun.

When they reached the corner, the two slowed down in unison.

Jiao Shun whispered: "I know all about what your mother, daughter and Ma Daopo are doing, and I've prepared my backup. If something goes wrong with me, I will keep it and spread it all over the capital within a day!"

He focused on "mother and daughter" just to test whether Tanchun knew about it long ago.

Not wanting to step forward, he paused first, then started walking again, without turning his head, he said: "The master is annoyed because the wife is secretly indiscreet, so he found out about the bewitching, and most likely he won't let the wife take power again. Since the wife can't regain power, what's the benefit of finding out about Brother Jiao?!"

Because of the impression left by the original book, Jiao Shun already knew that this little girl was not a good match, but this is the first time he has seen her for the first time!
She didn't make a distinction for herself at all, instead she analyzed the pros and cons for Jiao Shun.

And these words can be said to point directly to the core, and it was precisely based on this judgment that Jiao Shun had no interest in getting involved in this matter at all.

only……

Just as Jiao Shun was about to say something more, someone suddenly poked his head out from the side room and saw the two walking in the veranda one after the other, he came up to him and scolded: "You damn girl, you just came to the end..."

"shut up!"

Tanchun interrupted his mother unceremoniously, and said through gritted teeth, "If Auntie doesn't want us, mother and son, to die without a place to bury, then shut up first!"

Aunt Zhao was taken aback when she heard the words, then she put her hands on her hips and shook off her handkerchief and shouted: "Okay, you threaten your mother..."

"Ma Daopo."

Seeing that Aunt Zhao didn't understand the situation up to this time, she only cared about pissing off her daughter, Jiao Shun said the key words while slandering her heart, this mother and daughter are really good bamboo shoots!

Aunt Zhao was stunned for a moment, and asked in a panic, "What, what Ma Daopo?"

Before Jiao Shun could speak again, Tan Chun added in a deep voice: "Master Jiao already knows about the good deeds my mother and Mrs. Ma Daopo have done!"

Aunt Zhao was completely stunned, her legs gave way and she sat on the ground.

Fortunately, Tanchun quickly supported her, and said calmly: "If Auntie doesn't want to make a scene known to everyone, you'd better restrain yourself."

As he said that, he glanced at the side room not far away, then turned his head and said to Jiao Jiao: "This is not a place to talk at this time, mother and I will explain to Brother Jiao tomorrow, okay?"

Jiao Shun's eyes turned around on the mother and daughter, knowing that even if he wanted to give up now, they probably wouldn't trust him.

Either turn your face directly, or you can only accept this so-called confession.

And the opportunity to turn around has just been missed...

At that moment, he asked concisely: "When will we meet? Where will we meet?"

Jia Tanchun keenly caught the sudden rise in temperature in his eyes, and when he thought about it carefully, a look of shame and indignation suddenly appeared on his face.

But although she gritted her silver teeth, she still gave a reply after a long while: "My uncle Zhao Guoji was ill two days ago, and my mother and I will visit tomorrow afternoon. Brother Jiao can enter through the back door to discuss in detail!"

Jiao Shun nodded, then said loudly: "Uncle Shi is drunk again? Come on, let's go, then I'll come back another day."

Saying that, he gave a slight salute to the two of them, turned around and walked away.

It wasn't until Jiao Shun walked away that Aunt Zhao regained her composure, pulled her daughter and hurriedly asked, "What's going on, why..."

"Shh!"

Tanchun made a silent gesture, pointed to the west chamber and said, "Make sure the master is settled first, then let's find a quiet place to talk."

Aunt Zhao was so frightened that she had no idea what to do, so it was natural that her daughter would do whatever she wanted.

Not to mention how the two of them returned to the wing room and how to arrange Jia Zheng who was drunk.

Turn around and talk about Mrs. Wang.

She rushed into the bedroom and flung herself on the bed howling and crying, but it turned out that what Tanchun had said in her ear just now was that Jia Zheng heard Jiao Shun came to the main room after waking up from the drunkenness. Shun back.

Although Mrs. Wang thought it was wrong before, she never thought that Jia Zheng would suspect herself and Jiao Shun!
It is said that it is a one-day couple and a hundred days of grace, but this half-life couple does not even have the slightest trust!
Moreover, the root cause of the disturbance was that Jia Zheng blindly favored his concubine, and he begged for those things from his sister in order to restore the old relationship.

Now that he doesn't listen to his own excuses, he just puts himself under house arrest all day long, and even treats himself as a playful slut!

The couple...

Really don't do it!
