After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 319 Request to visit a patient

Haitang had no way of finding out what Mrs. Tang was thinking. She didn't have any evidence with Hai Jiao, so she couldn't rashly talk about her suspicions to her cousin Xie Wenzai or the people in the Zhenguo Palace. She had to investigate on her own.

Haitang felt like she didn't know what to do, but Haijiao was much calmer than her.

The whole thing was just a conjecture on his part, but his many years of experience as a secret agent in his previous life told him that this conjecture was by no means a fantasy. He intuitively felt that there was something wrong with the two nuns in the Tang family, and now he just needed to confirm this.

He said to Haitang: "I plan to find a way to find out first. Can these two nuns in the Tang family have access to news from the military? At worst, they can also get news from the Zhenguo Palace. Do they have any contact with Du Boqin's family? ? Are there any contacts with those Sun family spies, ears and eyes that have been identified? As long as one of them is confirmed, they will be suspected, and we can report it directly to the Zhenguo Duke's office, and let the Zhenguo Duke send someone to check the details. . With his old man taking action, the Tang family will also cooperate. Can the two housewives escape from such a strict investigation? "

Hai Jiao seemed confident. Seeing this, Hai Tang calmed down a bit: "Then what method is brother going to use to check these two nuns? We don't know the Tang family!" Although she had met Tang Hui once before, There's no such thing as friendship. At this time, if she proposed to Zhou Wenjun that she wanted to visit the Tang family, it would be very abrupt, and it could easily be misunderstood that she was just looking at someone else's joke.

Haitang thought for a moment: "Does my brother have a way to get close to the children of the Tang family? It is best to be Tang Hui's brother, the one who has a better relationship with her, not the one born to Mrs. Tang now."

Hai Jiao said: "She has a cousin named Tang Meng who has a good relationship with Zhou Yijun. He once went out to play with us in the city. It is said that his mother is the biological sister of Tang Hui's biological mother. He and Tang Hui are both cousins ​​and cousins. Siblings have always been close to each other. Recently, Tang Hui has been in trouble one after another, and he has no intention of having fun anymore, and he no longer plays with us. I asked Zhou Yijun to think of a way to ask him out. "

Haitang asked: "Then how are you going to ask him about the two nuns? There is no evidence. If you suddenly ask about this kind of thing, it will also arouse suspicion, right?"

Hai Jiao smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I'm the best at this kind of thing, just watch what I do."

Some things are little secrets between him and his friends, and it is not easy for him to mention them to his little sister for no reason. But he was quite confident about asking Tang Meng for information inside the Tang family. By the way, he can also sell favors to the new friends of the Zhou and Tang families. Even if they knew the truth in the future, they would only be grateful to him and not blame him for hiding it today.

Haijiao was going to sell things off, and although Haitang was annoyed, she couldn't say anything more, so she had to let him do it.

On the second day after the Lantern Festival, Hai Jiao went out early again. Today, not only was he going to Zhou Yijun to discuss the appointment with Tang Meng, but he also wanted to show the carpenter the blueprint of the wheelchair that his younger sister Haitang had given him to see if he could make it. As for the carriage that the carpenter had built, Jin Jiashu would arrange for someone to pick it up, so he didn't need to worry.

Hai Jiao went out like this. Hai Tang was at home and didn't know what his plans were. He could only speculate secretly. In addition, he had to pay attention to Zhou Yijun's movements. Once it was confirmed that Zhou Yijun had moved back to the third room of the Zhou family, she would encourage her grandmother Ma to find a time to visit her aunt Zhou Ma as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yijun was even more anxious than she was. As soon as she persuaded Mr. Ma to want to visit Mr. Zhou, the messenger from Ms. Zhou arrived.

Zhou Ma sent the daughter and son-in-law of Ma Li and his wife to the Hai family to deliver a message, inviting his younger sister Ma to be a guest. As for the reason, Ma Li's daughter Xiuju was under Ma's nose and "privately" told her mother Aunt Ma: "My wife has been very troubled recently. Mrs. Tang sent people several times to say that she wanted to visit the old lady." My wife has dismissed the illness. According to common sense, Mrs. Tang should have known what she was doing. But for some reason, she seemed not to understand her hint and still wanted to visit her. My wife didn’t know what to do. "Ask Master, I just told my wife not to offend the Tang family, and not to let the old lady see outsiders. There is nothing else to say. But what can my wife do? Neither Mrs. Tang could be allowed to visit the doctor nor the Tang family could be offended, so he asked the Duke of Zhen’s wife to come forward and say hello to Mrs. Tang. The master also said that there was no need to alarm the elder for such a trivial matter. The wife had no choice but to say that she was sick. If she was sick, she wouldn't have to receive visitors. I specially brought Sister Yi back to deceive people outside, saying that I wanted my granddaughter to go home to take care of her illness! "

However, pretending to be sick is not a long-term solution. After the beginning of spring, Mr. Zhou Ma still had many things to be busy with. He couldn't keep pretending, so he had to excuse his illness and invite his sister over to discuss how to deal with it.

Ma was speechless: "The Zhou and Tang families are related by marriage. You don't need to ask the Tang family for anything. If you don't want Mrs. Tang to see Mrs. Ma, just say so. Why should the eldest sister be so secretive? Now she still wants to rely on her. If you pretend to be sick to drive away guests, wouldn't it be embarrassing if someone exposes you in the future?!"

Ma Xiuju smiled helplessly: "Madam, I want to speak directly, but the master is always worried about the reputation of our third wife, and doesn't want people outside to know that there is such a rebellious old lady in the family, and his son even gave his stepmother to Locked up..."

Although the Tang family is an in-law of the Zhou family, Mr. Zhou Shigong, the Friday master, has a moderate relationship with his family and is very respectable, so he did not inform the Tang family of what Madam Ma and Zhou Shuyi had done. If the Zhenguo government revealed the inside story to his in-laws, he would not stop it, but he would not take the initiative to speak to the Tang family either. Now he didn't even dare to ask Zhen Guogong and his wife if they had ever mentioned Mrs. Ma's crime to Mrs. Tang? If Mrs. Tang knew about it, there would be no reason why she would insist on visiting the doctor...

Madam Ma was a little curious: "Do Madam Tang and Madam Ma have a good relationship? Haven't you heard the eldest sister mention it before?"

Xiuju couldn't explain clearly: "The old lady had a good relationship with the old lady of the Tang family in the early years, but since the old lady left, the two parties have become less frequent. During the holidays, they would send each other gifts and send people to say hello, but they would not meet each other when they met. Many. The Tang family no longer invites the old lady to banquets in the past few years. However, the Tang family does not invite the old ladies and old lords of various families in Chang'an City, as long as they are widowed. The old lady I complained several times at home, saying that the Tang family was snobbish and so on... But then I started to interact with the Tang family again. In the past few years, Mrs. Tang and Miss Tang have always been required to attend banquets at home. "

Because of the presence of a top lady in Chang'an's elite circle like Mrs. Tang, even if the third brother of the Zhou family had an estranged relationship with the Zhenguo government, and Zhou Shigong had no prominent official position, outsiders always believed that Mrs. Ma was a nobleman with great hands, eyes, and wide connections. woman. Mrs. Ma obviously had resentment towards the Tang family, but she still maintained this "friendship". I wonder if it was related to this.

However, after the news of the privately built glass workshop spread, Mrs. Ma quickly reported that she was sick at home. Then the three rooms of the Zhou family closed their doors to thank guests, and the Tang family never came to visit again. They probably also guessed that Mrs. Ma was hiding deliberately. Logically speaking, the Tang family should also cooperate with the actions of the third roommate of the Zhou family. They only need to pretend to be concerned and say hello, and then knowingly stop coming to the door. It's really weird that Mrs. Tang is so persistent in coming to visit her.

Could it be that the Tang family heard about Mrs. Ma's collusion with Zhou Shuyi and the Sun family?

But even so, there is no need for Mrs. Tang to come to the door, right? Is there some unknown inside story here?

Haitang secretly guessed next to her, and then advised her grandmother Ma: "Grandma, just go and see your aunt. Even if it wasn't for this matter, you haven't seen your aunt for several days, right? Can I go with you?"

Ma thought about it and said, "Okay, I originally planned to go see my eldest brother tomorrow. Since eldest sister wants to see me, I'll go to her place first."
