The wife of the power minister's family

Chef Sun shook her head, "No, from the perspective of a civilian woman, Sister-in-law Wu devotes her whole body and soul to her son, let alone the theater troupe. She rarely pays attention to things other than her son.

But her son has a lot of potential. He was admitted as a scholar. My son is not as promising as her son. What she has often mentioned recently is that her son will attend the Spring Festival next year and will soon marry a wife. Sister-in-law Wu is not as big-hearted as a civilian woman, and she will often get into trouble and make herself feel very bad. However, the civilian woman looks at her. She was in a good mood, but the news of her suicide suddenly came out, and the woman was still a little unbelievable..."

"The day Sister-in-law Wu died, she also came to Qinghui Garden to deliver tofu. Did she talk to you that day?"

"Yes, she told me that day that it would soon be the day when her son would come back from his next bathing break. She planned to kill an old hen at home to feed her son, but because I was busy that day, I didn't talk to her. Say as much as you want.”

Xu Jing frowned slightly and secretly exchanged a look with Yao Shaoyin.

When asked this way, it seems that Sister-in-law Wu and the Qinghui Garden troupe really have nothing to do with each other.

It's more clear that Sister-in-law Wu really couldn't have committed suicide.

It seems far-fetched to insist that Sister-in-law Wu had interactions with members of the troupe when no one else knew about it. There is currently no direct evidence to prove it.

Yao Shaoyin could only say: "We have finished asking our questions. If you still think of anything related to Sister-in-law Wu, please report to the Xijing government office immediately."

Chef Sun responded immediately and squatted down slightly to salute them and say goodbye. As soon as she lowered her body a little, her face changed slightly and her whole body seemed to freeze. Then she finished saluting them with this strange movement. About to leave.

Xu Jing stared at her closely when her expression changed, and then said: "Wait a minute, Chef Sun, I remember that the work of the kitchen is busy and trivial. Sometimes when it gets busy, one person can't wait to divide it into three parts." It’s for personal use, so people who work in the kitchen usually try to choose slightly looser clothes, because this will make it easier to move. However, I see that you are wearing a set of clothes that obviously don’t fit you today. Is there any reason for this? "

Her saluting movements when she came in and when she left were very weird, but at first, Xu Jing thought she was like this just because she was too nervous and reserved when seeing them, but her saluting movements when she left were even weirder than when she came in. Combined with the slightly tight clothes on her body, Xu Jing immediately realized the problem.

It's okay to wear tight-fitting clothes, but it's very abnormal for a cook to be so tight that it affects your activities.

Yao Shaoyin glanced at Xu Jing in surprise. Although he also noticed something wrong with Chef Sun, he didn't think much about it. Most people would be nervous and reserved when they saw them. He was used to it, so he ignored it for a while. got this detail.

Chef Sun was stunned for a moment and said a little uneasily: "The son of a civilian woman has been doing business abroad all year round. There was an avalanche in the place where he went some time ago. Many business travelers who went earlier than him have returned, but he has not come back yet. The civilian woman's heart She was very uneasy, so she went to worship the Bodhisattva outside the city. A few days ago, he finally came back safely. The woman thought that she must thank the Bodhisattva for blessing her son. The woman usually... likes brightly colored clothes. I thought it would be bad to wear such clothes to worship the Bodhisattva, so I had to put on this old clothes that didn’t fit well.”

She rarely went to worship Bodhisattvas and Buddhas on weekdays. She was young and widowed, and raised her son by herself. She never believed in heaven and earth, only her own hands.

If it hadn't been for the fact that her son hadn't returned for a long time some time ago, and she was so panicked, she wouldn't have followed others in worshiping the Bodhisattva.

Worship the Bodhisattva? Xu Jing was stunned for a moment, a sudden flash occurred in her mind, she took a breath and said, "The place where you went to worship the Bodhisattva is Jingyuan Temple?"

Chef Sun was startled and looked at her in surprise, "How do you know?!"

Xu Jing's mind suddenly became clear. She exhaled slowly and said, "That place was recommended to you by Sister-in-law Wu?"

Chef Sun couldn't close her mouth at all. It took her a long time to say, "Madam, you... you are the Bodhisattva!" How come she knows everything!

After Yao Shaoyin heard Chef Sun's words, he already guessed this in his heart, and said with a serious expression: "Sister-in-law Wu often goes to Jingyuan Nunnery on weekdays?"

Unexpectedly, at the intersection of Jiang Sanniang and Sister-in-law Wu, there is a Jingyuan Nunnery!

Chef Sun looked at Yao Shaoyin unconsciously, then at Xu Jing, and then said: "Yes, Sister-in-law Wu's temperament is completely different from that of a civilian woman. She believes in Buddha and Bodhisattva very much. She will go to Jingyuan Temple from time to time. She also I often talk about Jingyuan Nunnery to the peasant woman, saying that the Bodhisattva there is very spiritual. When her son was taking the provincial examination, she went to worship her, and then her son really entered high school! Therefore, when the peasant woman was anxious and uneasy some time ago, , then I thought of going to Jingyuan Temple to pay my respects."

Yao Shaoyin asked: "Do you know how long Sister-in-law Wu has been going to Jingyuan Nunnery?"

Chef Sun thought for a while and said, "It should be less than three years ago. The civilian woman remembered that she said that she used to go to Famen Temple in the north of Xijing."

Yao Shaoyin was stunned, "Then why did she suddenly change her place?"

This kind of thing requires sincerity. Many people usually choose to go to a certain temple to worship, and they rarely suddenly change to another one.

Of course, there are also some people who visit other temples at specific times because they heard that a certain temple is very spiritual in a certain way. But according to Chef Sun, Sister-in-law Wu seems to have completely abandoned Famen Temple and went to Jingjing Temple instead. Yuan'an.

But Chef Sun hesitated, and after a while she said: "Actually, the woman is just guessing about this matter. If she is wrong, I hope the official will not blame her. The woman has always felt that Sister-in-law Wu has probably encountered some people before. This is not a good thing. Therefore, she is very repulsive to men. Although she has never said this explicitly, the woman can tell that whenever she gets along with our men, she will be particularly nervous and uneasy. We ordered a lot of tofu back here. Zhang Gui wanted to help Sister-in-law Wu move the tofu, but his hand was still a long way away from Sister-in-law Wu's. Sister-in-law Wu was so frightened that the whole plate of tofu fell to the ground...

But this kind of thing only happened once. Sister-in-law Wu never said personally that she didn't like men. It was just a civilian woman who felt this way. "

Yao Shaoyin never expected to ask such a thing, so he couldn't help but glance at Xu Jing.

Xu Jing pursed her lips and said, "Do you think Sister-in-law Wu suddenly changed her place of worship from Famen Temple to Jingyuan Temple because of that incident?"

"People's women, people's women feel this way."

"According to you, Sister-in-law Wu shouldn't have been so repulsive to men before?"

Sister-in-law Wu must have changed significantly before and after, so that Chef Sun would have such thoughts.

Chef Sun nodded and said uneasily: "Yes, Sister-in-law Wu has been delivering tofu here for more than three years, and the woman has known her for more than three years. Although she was very taciturn in the beginning, at that time she When facing Guanshi Su and Zhang Gui, they were far less nervous than later.

No, but this is the civilian woman’s own feeling. Others don’t seem to notice this. It’s also possible that the civilian woman feels wrong…”

Perhaps she was worried about what kind of responsibility she would take, so she quickly added the last sentence.
