The violent prince's wife as a small wife

Chapter 8 8, Mrs.
Mr. Chen was taken aback, and just about to say something, he was dragged away by officers and soldiers covering his mouth.

After Master Chen left his sight, Luo Shenyan took two steps forward, and just as he was about to say something, Shang Xingchuan tilted his head, "Come out."

Jiang Ci paused and walked over.

Luo Shenyan looked at Jiang Ci, and immediately saw that her clothes didn't fit her well, and her hair was a little messy, as for this person, he didn't know her.

Jiang Ci thought for a while, then saluted crookedly, "I've seen Mr. Luo."

Luo Shenyan raised his eyebrows, "Miss Jiang?"

His eyes turned around between the two, then the corners of his lips curled slightly, and he said, "Cheng Zhi, it seems... are you hiding something from me?"

Chengzhi, the small characters of Shangxingchuan.

Jiang Ci reckoned that these two people looked familiar, but it didn't matter, she asked Shang Xingchuan, "Your Highness, is it true what Lord Chen said just now, that Chen Rui died in the ice cellar of the Hou Mansion?"

To die in the ice cellar seems to be the most reasonable place, after all, it is not yet the season where people can freeze to death.

Shang Xingchuan didn't say much, he just nodded.

Jiang Ci's eyes moved slightly, "Can I go and see?"

……

Half an hour later, Jiang Ci, wearing a long black veiled hat and a black skirt, followed behind Shang Xingchuan like a ghost.

Dingnanhou's mansion is still closed today, and there are heavy guards inside and out. After all, Jianghou has been an official for dozens of years, this matter will not be frightened, but the female family members are different. When eating breakfast, One by one tasted the same, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out.

Speaking of the Jiang family’s backyard, it’s simple. Jiang Houfa’s wife only gave birth to Jiang Ci, and because of her poor health, she rarely came out in recent years. It is a typical married couple. Jiang Hou also has three concubines. He bore two sons and three daughters.

The most favored among them is Aunt Qing, who used to be the concubine of a small official family. Because of her beauty, she became an aunt, and soon gave birth to three children, Jiang Yuyao, Jiang Huaisheng, and Jiang You, two daughters and one son. .

In addition to them, there are Jiang Mingxu and Jiang Jinwei in the mansion. Jiang Mingxu has been away for a long time and only came back last month. Jiang Jinwei has a withdrawn personality, so even Jiang Ci has no impression of these two people.

Because of Aunt Qing's favor, Jiang You and Jiang Yuyao's status in the mansion is actually no worse than Jiang Ci's. They are both girls who have been pampered and brought up, and have never suffered. Jiang You originally made an appointment today. I handed over my handkerchief and went to buy jewelry, but was blocked by officers and soldiers, and I was still unhappy during breakfast.

"Daddy... If the elder sister doesn't come back for a day, our house will always be closed like this?" Jiang You looked at the officers and soldiers holding armors outside, always feeling apprehensive in his heart.

Lord Jiang Hou said lightly: "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask." Jiang You curled his lips and said, "How did that person die in our house? It can't be Zhenhe eldest sister..."

"Stop talking." Jiang Yuyao glared at her, "Eat your food well, and if you don't want to eat, go back to your room and stay."

Although the two are siblings of the same mother, Jiang Yuyao is usually not very close to her, and puts on airs like a sister at every turn. Jiang You is very dissatisfied, but she still doesn't say anything because her father is here.

At the end of breakfast, Shang Xingchuan and the others arrived.Jiang Hou stepped forward to salute, but he saw that besides the guards behind Shang Xingchuan, there was a man in black following him. He thought he looked like a woman.

Jiang Hou said: "I've seen His Royal Highness King Yu, but this..." He looked at the dark man.

Jiang Ci originally thought that Shang Xingchuan would say a few words to prevaricate, but he didn't expect that this guy didn't seem to intend to speak!She was silent for a moment, then said calmly: "How to do it."

Jiang Hou: "?"

Everyone behind him also:?

Jiang Ci's voice was low, a little hoarse when listening carefully, she didn't dare to speak long sentences for fear of being exposed, so every word popped out suddenly, "Exceeding, dead."

"Extra, that, the dead."

Everyone: "..."

Is this too urgent?
Looking at Jiang Hou's expression, he seems to want to say something, but after all, this is King Yu, let alone bring someone over for some reason, even if he just wants to light a bonfire and dance around the scene of the crime right now. It's not easy to stop.

Shang Xingchuan swaggered and took Jiang Ci to the ice cellar where the deceased's clothes were found. It was strange to say that this was the Jiang family, and Jiang Ci who had inherited the memory of the original owner should be more familiar than him, but it turned out that he was more familiar with the road.

The two soon arrived at the ice cellar. The ice cellar was built underground to isolate sunlight and air. The place was not big.

Several boxes and cages were placed on the ground, filled with fresh sweet potatoes and fruits, and against the wall were layers of thick ice, and there was about a square inch of space in the middle, where the clothes of the deceased were, and there was a Hairpin.

It seems that the people who discovered this place were quite smart and did not act recklessly.

Jiang Ci stood on the last step, lifted up the black veil on the veil with great effort, and turned to talk to Shang Xingchuan, "Don't come down first, who is the first to find this place?"

The entrance of the ice cellar is relatively narrow, and when Shang Xingchuan and Jiang Ci came in, the entrance was almost completely blocked. The guard behind him handed over an oil lamp, Jiang Ci held it in his hand, and instead of stepping in, I looked at it with an oil lamp.

"Bring that servant here." Shang Xingchuan said.

The first person who found this place was the servant who usually took care of the ice cellar. He was over fifty years old, with a thin body, hunched back, and a cowardly look.

Shang Xingchuan asked, "When did you find out?"

The man said: "Just this morning, the servant was ordered by the eldest lady to open the storeroom, saying that he wanted to eat... ice crisps, but when he opened it, he saw a pile of clothes here."

Carefully ignoring Shang Xingchuan's expression, he said: "The slave also heard about that young master last night, and felt that there might be something wrong, so he immediately reported it to the eldest wife."

The eldest lady is not referring to Mrs. Hou Ye, but Aunt Qing.

Although she is just an aunt, since Mrs. Hou basically hasn't been out in these years, she is completely in charge of the backyard of the mansion.

Jiang Ci put down the black veil on the veiled hat again, lowered his voice and asked, "Why did you report it to the eldest wife instead of Lord Hou?"

That person noticed that there was a dark figure here, and he was stunned for a moment before subconsciously saying: "That's what the eldest lady told us last night."

"what?"

The man said: "The eldest lady gave orders last night, saying that if you find anything wrong, you should tell her immediately."

Jiang Ci moved his fingers slightly, but his mouth remained the same, "And then?"

"Then the eldest lady said, tell me to wait for the people from the government to come, and tell me not to go into the ice cellar. It's quite serious. I haven't touched anything in here..."

"This morning, when did you find out?"

"Qing... early in the morning, Yin time... about two quarters?"

At the second quarter of Yin time, how could the eldest wife get up earlier than the chicken.
