Dayong Nu sentenced to death

A woman was placed in an inverted room in the outer courtyard of the Golden House.

Her slightly silver hair was polished with sweet-scented osmanthus oil, combed back, wrapped in a square scarf, and wearing a brown-blue coarse cloth skirt, her whole body was well-groomed.

Seeing someone coming, he quickly stood up.

The servant said: "This is Miss Su, you should answer truthfully when I ask you later, don't hide and lie, and the Jin family will thank you very much after the matter is settled."

"Yes."

The woman turned her knees to Su Rao and said, "Miss, you are polite."

Su Rao bowed her head in return, made a gesture, and the two sat down, the servant saw this and walked out, guarding the door not to let anyone approach.

Inside the room, Su Rao looked at her and asked with a smile, "I don't know what to call her?"

"My concubine's husband's family name is Xu."

The old woman looked cautious, her butt only touched half of the chair, and she quickly replied.

"Madam Xu."

Su Rao called out: "You must have guessed my purpose of coming to some extent, so I won't say much about the polite words. I want to know everything about Huo Zheng."

She had a hunch that if she solved this mystery, she might find corresponding answers to many confusing doubts.

"Huo Zheng..."

The woman said the name, and smiled uncomfortably: "Speaking of which, this is the first time I know that girl's name."

"Mrs. Xu specializes in midwifery. You should have seen many women. Judging by your expression, you seem to have a deep impression on her."

When this matter was brought up, the old woman's face was full of nostalgia and complexity.

"To tell you the truth, Miss Huo... No, Mrs. Huo, the concubine has delivered babies for so many years, and she is the only master who has been with the concubine for a long time."

"About four years ago, someone promised a lot of money to have a concubine come to the house to deliver the baby. Only then did I find out that she had a month to give birth, so the concubine had to stay first."

"Have you met her husband?"

Su Rao asked.

The old woman shook her head, "It's a remote courtyard. There are two maids who take care of Mrs. Huo's daily life. She spends a lot of money on food and clothing, but until the baby fell to the ground, the concubine has never seen anyone else."

Having been in this industry for a long time, I naturally developed a pair of sharp eyes.

In her situation, most of them are women raised by wealthy nobles outside, not even a concubine.

"However, Mrs. Huo is a very good-natured person. She speaks kindly and gently. She also cares about her husband. Even though she is pregnant with Liujia, she does all the trivial things like sewing clothes and shoes by herself, and never pretends to others."

The old woman thought of all those days, and couldn't bear to sigh: "She always said that they were in love with each other, how considerate and caring that man was to her, but if he was really the one in his heart, how could he be willing to let her have no name or share?" Outside, I didn’t even show up when I was giving birth.”

It can be heard that Mrs. Xu is very aggrieved for Huo Zheng.

The so-called authorities are obsessed, but bystanders are clear. It is useless for outsiders to see clearly. Huo Zheng is deeply in love and has long been obsessed.

Seeing Su Rao's silence, Mrs. Xu shut her mouth uneasy, and said cautiously: "Is it because I gossip too much?"

"No."

Su Rao said with a smile: "Madam Xu, just say whatever comes to your mind, it's better if there are no details."

"Let me think about it."

Mrs. Xu began to carefully recall the details of their relationship. After more than four years, even the deepest memories will fade. What she said was very messy, but Su Rao still got some useful information from the things that were pieced together.

Huo Zheng doesn't drink tea, but there are always Junshan silver needles in the house. She sews footwear and innerwear for men with fine cotton, and her outerwear is all embroidered.

There are a set of utensils for making incense and burning incense in her room, but she told Mrs. Xu that she is not good at it, so these are for her 'husband'.

"there's one more thing."

Mrs. Xu suddenly said, "Mrs. Huo said in the chat with me that her husband hoped that the baby would be a boy so that he could carry on the family line for him and continue the incense. .”

Passing down the lineage...

The boy's words are still in my ears, the third family has a weak heir, and they adopted an abandoned baby, Jin Jin's age is right, and Huo Zheng's body was found in the back garden of the Jin Mansion...

It all started four years ago.

Four years ago... Su Rao looked at the old woman and asked, "Have you ever heard Huo Zheng mention the situation at home?"

"I remember saying so."

The old woman frowned and thought for a while, then slowly said: "Mrs. Huo's mother seems to have died early, and her father doesn't care about her much, and the father and daughter are not in harmony."

"When did Mrs. Huo give birth to the child?"

"After the Mid-Autumn Festival four years ago."

The old woman said without thinking: "Because Mrs. Huo is about to give birth, I didn't spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with my family that year, but stayed with her, so I remember it very clearly."

Afterwards, Su Rao asked a few more scattered questions, except for a few with blurred memories, Mrs. Xu still answered most of the things straightforwardly.

In the end, she stood up and said with a smile: "I probably understand the situation, thank you madam for clarifying."

"You're welcome, ma'am."

The old woman got up immediately and didn't ask any other questions. In fact, when the Jin family came to her suddenly, she had some guesses in her mind. After asking this question, she became more certain about her thoughts.

Heart sighed.

How could the outer room of a wealthy family be so easy to be? The master of the Jin family and the master of the second house had long since passed away, and the son, Jin Xu, had not been in Yunzhou all year round.

Mr. Kim...

Could it be that the husband Huo Zheng was talking about was him?
Thinking of this, the old woman suddenly shivered.

Su Rao saw that her complexion was turning blue and white, showing a hint of uneasiness, and asked with a light smile, "What did Mrs. Xu think of?"

"No, nothing."

The old woman was shocked and lost her composure, and quickly corrected her expression.

But all her reactions fell in Su Rao's eyes, and Su Rao sighed secretly, she was quick-witted.

"Madam Xu."

When Su Rao called her, the old woman met her gaze anxiously, "I'm here, what do you want me to do?"

"What I told you today..."

Before she could finish her sentence, the old woman hurriedly said: "My concubine has a bad memory due to her age, and when she leaves this door, she doesn't know anything."

People in this line of work have seen too many secrets in the deep house, what can be said can't be said, her heart is like a mirror, and she never dares to be taboo.

Su Rao laughed and said: "Then Mrs. Xu sit down for a while, I have other things to do, so I won't be with you."

"Miss, please."

The old woman sent her to stop in front of the house and watched her and the servant leave. Not long after, someone came to see her out of the mansion, "This is the wish of our mansion, please accept it."

Putting the shiny silver ingot into her sleeve, the old woman bowed to him, looked left and right, and left the golden house quickly.

"Does the girl want to go back to the guest garden?"

The servant asked her while leading the way, Su Rao thought for a moment, then softly replied: "No, go to the Old Master's Shouyan Hall."

Yan Yun was discussing the Xiaoyao Pill. At this moment, there must be a lot of excitement over there!
They went their separate ways, doing their own things, but they finally came to the same goal by different routes, Mr. Jin!
