Chapter 66 Spend money to find out the truth
Old Man Li recalled for a moment and said in a solemn tone, "That person is Sun Dianshi! Widow Wang's daughter Wang Wan'er married Sun Dianshi's nephew. Sun Dianshi only has two daughters and no sons, and he values ​​Sun Youcai, who passed the Tongsheng examination this year."

"Ah?" Li Xiaoyue exclaimed, her eyes filled with confusion, "Could this incident today have something to do with Sun Dianshi?"

Old Man Li did not answer, but thought carefully about Sun Dianshi's usual cautiousness, and he had still done his duty in these years.

If you want to embarrass Li Xiaoyue, it may be possible, but you will definitely not kill anyone.

"I feel that the death of the deceased Madam Xu was not caused by Sun Dianshi. After all, the deceased was not worthy of Sun Dianshi's risk of being involved in a human life lawsuit."

When Li Xiaoyue heard her father's answer, she pondered for a moment, "Dad, you are right. Dayan Kingdom has always insisted on killing people to pay for their lives. If Sun Dianshi or the Sun family wants to trip me up, they will find an opportunity to crush me to death." Rather than such a clumsy means."

"Just because the Shinie stove is in the house, saying that Shinie briquettes poison people is too arbitrary and untenable. I guess there is someone behind the scenes who wants to discredit our Li's shop, just to cause trouble for us."

"This thing doesn't look like it was done by a man, but it looks like it was done by a petty backstage man."

Old Man Li nodded and thought for a moment, "That makes sense. Do you think Wang Waner did this?"

"It's Wang Waner, or maybe Widow Wang." Li Xiaoyue replied, "After you left with the villagers at noon, I went to the spice store to buy things. I saw Widow Wang. The child in her belly was gone. She said that I drugged her. , harming her child."

"Someone is setting the blame on you!" Old Man Li replied without hesitation. His daughter wanted to break up with Liu Yunde. She didn't care who Liu Yunde married or had children with. Why did she bother to get rid of Widow Wang's belly? 's child?

Li Xiaoyue nodded, "Yes, at that time I felt that it was a big blame. I would not bear the blame. I patiently explained to her that I would set up a female household and my children would have my surname. I would leave the Liu clan and have nothing to do with Liu Yunde."

Old Man Li touched his beard, which was like a steel needle, "Widow Wang's child is gone, and the one who benefits the most is... Wang Waner. Could it be that Wang Waner did it?"

Li Xiaoyue nodded, "Except for her and the Sun family, I don't think anyone else has the motive or ability to take action. Put the blame on me and make Widow Wang hate me. Wang Waner and Sun Youcai are still the good daughters and good sons-in-law."

"Fortunately, after I explained it, Widow Wang is not really stupid. She will probably soon understand that there is no need for me to attack her child."

Old Man Li touched his beard and said, "That's right, let them dog eat dog. From now on, when we do business, we must do our duty. Not everyone can slander us!"

"The fox's tail will eventually show up. Don't worry, take your time. I'll let your nephew inquire quietly to be prepared."

Li Xiaoyue smiled and said: "Compared with Wang Waner and the Sun family, I am actually more annoyed by Liu Yunde. Widow Wang will not respond to Liu Yunde's requests. She has no children. She probably won't be able to have children at this age, and she will not continue to provide Liu Yunde with education in the future."

"When the time comes, Liu Yunde will come back and there will be trouble again. Then he may cause trouble and implicate us."

Old man Li smiled. The more his daughter annoyed Liu Yunde, the happier he would be.

"Don't be afraid. There is nothing that I can't solve in Lanshan County. In the past, I didn't want to use my connections to pave the way for Liu Yunde because he didn't deserve it."

"We can't keep a low profile now, so we'll keep a high profile. As for the Sun family, wait until I find out more about it before we think of countermeasures."

Li Xiaoyue smiled and reached out to support Old Man Li, "Dad, you are so kind. With you and my brothers here, I feel at ease."

Old Man Li was very pleased, "If I live for one day, I can take care of you for one day. When I'm gone, I will still have your eldest brother and nephew. Xiaoyue, don't be afraid, and don't worry. There is no obstacle that you can't overcome."

Hearing this, Li Xiaoyue was deeply moved. It felt so good and happy to have her father's love.

Compared with Li Xiaoyue's family, who was enjoying themselves happily, Widow Wang, who hurriedly returned home, locked herself in the house and saw no one.

She reached out and touched the clothes she had made for her children, and burst into tears.

The child she had been looking forward to for so long was just gone!
She never doubted Butler Wang, and never thought that Butler Wang might betray her.

She had some doubts before. Li Xiaoyue took the initiative to divorce and gave up on Liu Yunde. Moreover, she was still a country girl and had no ability to hurt her.But Butler Wang personally interrogated and found out the mastermind. Moreover, the maid committed suicide out of fear of the crime. She was in a sad and angry state and could not think calmly.

Today's conversation with Li Xiaoyue, whether it was Li Xiaoyue's sarcasm or his subsequent explanation, made Widow Wang panic and hesitate.

She couldn't give birth to a child and couldn't bind Liu Yunde forever, so she could only return to Lanshan County to be closer to her daughter Wang Waner.

She will not be with Liu Yunde as wholeheartedly as before. She will only find ways to restrain Liu Yunde so that he cannot live outside and can only return to her.

Widow Wang raised her hand and was about to ask someone to continue the investigation, but she thought that even Butler Wang might have been bribed. What about the others?
So Widow Wang counted the silver and found out 100 taels.

Early the next morning, I came to an ordinary teahouse with an unusual name: "Sitong Teahouse".

Her husband, who died young, once told her that she could pay people to get information here.

She went out shopping, sent the maid and mother-in-law to buy things, and went in alone.

Widow Wang put the tea bowl on the table in front of the waiter, "I'm not thirsty."

"You must be hungry. There is a private room inside. Madam, please invite me." The waiter in the shop respectfully invited Widow Wang to the private room.

Soon a chubby man came in, and he recognized Widow Wang from the Wang Family Silk Shop at a glance, and asked, "Madam, do you have any orders?"

Widow Wang put 100 taels of silver on the table, "I want to investigate who drugged me and caused me to miscarry. Here's what happened..."

The fat shopkeeper Wu took the money and replied: "I will give you the answer within ten days."

"Thank you." Widow Wang replied. No matter what, she just wanted to know an answer.

After drinking tea from the teahouse, Widow Wang just walked out. Mrs. Wang looked surprised and said, "Madam, why are you here at the teahouse? You are just a street away from home. I will make tea for you."

Widow Wang glanced at Mrs. Wang and pretended to smile, "My mouth is dry and I feel uncomfortable. Okay, no more shopping. Have you bought all the things you bought for Wan'er?"

Mrs. Wang was originally worried that her master would be instigated by Li Xiaoyue and become suspicious of the eldest lady. If the investigation went deeper, she might also be found out.

"I've bought everything. The eldest lady has been looking forward to my wife!" Mrs. Wang took the opportunity to say good things about Wang Waner, trying her best to hide her guilt.

"Then you can send it to Wan'er. I'm feeling a little uncomfortable today, so I'm going back first." Widow Wang rubbed her brows, not wanting to visit her daughter.

"Yes, Madam!" Mrs. Wang was stunned, but she did not dare to refute. She had been with Widow Wang for the longest time, and she always felt that something was wrong with Madam.

At this time, Wang Wan'er listened to the servant's report with a bad look on her face, "Trash!"

The servant lay on the ground shivering, "Young madam, please atone for your sins. Boss Xu's methods are clumsy, so you will fall short."

Wang Waner narrowed her eyes, "Go down, don't mention this matter again, it has nothing to do with our Sun family. If Zhang Wuzuo comes again, he will handle it impartially, and the uncle will definitely find out the real culprit."

"Yes!" the servant agreed and stepped back.

Sun Youcai waited until the person left and then said in a disapproving tone: "I have already said that this matter has nothing to do with the Li family, but you just blame the Li family."

"This Zhang Wuzuo promised to do everything and not to bring trouble in front of my uncle, but please don't do such a thankless thing again in the future."
