Wangfu little dumb wife

Chapter 878 Ending (4) Looking for Mother
When the Sanfa Division and Jin Yiwei were handling the case, they probably used inertial thinking to figure out the murderer's motives, so they couldn't find any flaws.

Wen Wan is different from them. Although she is not superstitious, what happened to herself and Song Wei made her a little more sensitive in this regard.

Wen Wan wanted to investigate further, but maybe her guess was in the wrong direction.

However, that night, another case of murder of a child occurred in the north of the city. The modus operandi was exactly the same as that of the previous one, and all of them were dug out.

Early the next morning, Xie Zheng came to the Marquis of Changning before going to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and told her about it.

Wen Wan was covered in cold sweat when she heard this, her fingers clenched tightly, and her brows were deeply frowned.

She didn't intend to hide it anymore, and wanted to tell Xie Zheng the suspect she had deduced, so that Xie Zheng and the others could focus on the investigation. However, just as she was about to speak, a feathered arrow suddenly flew into the courtyard wall. The window was broken open with lightning speed, and it was nailed to the pillar with a bang.

Xie Zheng was frightened, he did not forget to pull Wen Wan away while backing away.

There is a piece of paper attached to the tip of the feather arrow.

Wen Wan walked over to take the arrow out, and when she saw the content on the paper, all the hairs on her body stood on end.

What was written on it was Jin Bao's birth date.

Wen Wan vaguely remembered that Jin Bao was still in Ningzhou when he was born, and her mother-in-law asked someone to do the calculations. She forgot what the calculations were, and only remembered that Jin Bao seemed to be the five elements belonging to gold.

In an instant, Wen Wan's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and even her breathing was panting slightly.

Xie Zheng noticed her strangeness and hurriedly asked, "Is someone threatening the princess?"

Threat?

Isn't it a threat?
Wen Wan smiled wryly, then shook her head, and said to Xie Zheng: "I know about the case you are talking about, you go to the Yamen first, if there is anything, we will talk about it when you come back."

Xie Zheng looked at her suspiciously, "Are you all right?"

"It's just that I can't bear to think about the death of the children." Wen Wan lowered her long eyelashes, trying to hide the emotion in her eyes.

"Then I'll go to the yamen to get an appointment. Don't think too much, I will report the household registration check as soon as possible."

"Thank you." Wen Wan suddenly called him.

"what happened?"

"Those are just my personal conjectures. I can't be sure. If it is possible, can you not tell them? Otherwise, the Ministry of Household Affairs will be involved. If the truth is not the case, it will inevitably cause discord between the Ministry of Accounting and the Three Legal Departments, which is not good for the court. good."

Xie Zheng thought about it for a while, nodded, and said it's okay, so let's not report it.

……

After Xie Zheng left, Wen Wan could no longer take care of writing letters, so she called Wei Lin and asked him if he had seen any suspicious people wandering around the Hou Mansion before.

Wei Lin shook his head and said he didn't see it.

That seems to be the work of high-grade archers, no wonder Wei Lin and the others didn't notice it.

Wen Wan took a deep breath and said to him: "Go to Ningzhou quickly, inform the Song family, and protect several children, especially Jinbao."

Wei Lin was a little surprised that the princess still cared about Ningzhou's affairs, but thinking that it was her own, even if she reconciled with her husband, it was understandable for her to be nervous about her son, so she nodded and retreated.

Wen Wan looked at the crumpled paper in her hand, her face became paler.

The person behind wanted to warn her that if she had said those words to Xie Zheng just now, Jin Bao would be the next to be killed.

Jinbao...

Thinking of Yuxue's lovely son, Wen Wan could no longer calm down.

During these days of waiting for Wei Lin's return, Wen Wan was always in a state of anxiety, afraid of hearing news that she could not bear.

Zhao Xunyin saw that she was not feeling well recently, so she asked if she was sick and asked the government doctor to see her.

Wen Wan didn't dare to tell the truth, she only said that she was frightened by the case and it was nothing serious.

On this day, when Linglong came in, she was holding a bronzing invitation card, "Princess, this is a post from Prince Cheng's residence, saying that the son will formally choose a concubine in three days, and the concubine would like to ask you to come and help me."

……

When Wei Lin rushed to Ningzhou, he learned that Song Wei and Jin Bao, father and son, had been "missing" for a long time.

"We are also looking for it." Hearing that Wei Lin is from the Marquis of Changning, Song Yuanbao was somewhat displeased, "If you really have the heart, you can stay and look for it together. If not, I won't force you to stay."

Wei Lin: "..."

He silently looked at his trusted elder brother Wei Qian, and then looked at himself, feeling that the difference in treatment was really big.

People are naturally looking for, otherwise there is no way to explain to the princess, he immediately sent a letter to the capital with a pigeon.

……

In a certain inn in the capital, one big and one small sat and ate.

"Daddy, are you really going to find your mother?" The little guy gnawed on the drumstick, his eyes were black and bright.

Song Wei glanced at him, "Didn't you miss your mother?"

"No." The little guy curled his lips and snorted, "I don't want her anymore."

Song Wei hummed, "No, then I won't look for it."

Seeing his serious appearance, Jinbao waited for a long time without opening his mouth. He was in a hurry, and he was arrogant again. He refused to admit it directly, so he lowered his head and tugged at the skirt on his body, "Just look for it, why did you make me become a little boy?" Sister? I'm obviously a little brother."

Song Wei took his oily hand and wiped it with a handkerchief, and said softly, "Put on the skirt and you can find your mother."

Hearing this, the little guy was immediately discouraged, and seemed a little unwilling. After a while, he asked, "What if you find her and she doesn't come home with you?"

"It may be that your skirt is not properly worn."

"..."

After dinner, Song Wei took his son out.

The little guy changed into a fine cotton skirt today, with two little knots tied on his head and velvet flowers, as soon as he walked out of the inn, two women turned their heads in surprise, "Ah, this little girl is so beautiful. "

Jin Bao hums.

The father and son walked to Chengwang Mansion.

Jin Bao looked at the majestic vermilion lacquered gate of the palace, then at Song Wei, "Daddy, is mother inside?"

Song Wei shook his head, and replied, "Maybe."

"Then why doesn't she go to grandma's house? Mother, does she not want you and pass it on to someone else?"

Song Wei moved his eyes to the direction of the corner door, "Let's go."

Jin Bao reluctantly followed behind him.

When they got outside the corner gate, the young servants of Chengwang Mansion saw Jin Bao, their eyes lit up, "Little Hua, come and give Big Brother a hug."

Yesterday Song Wei came to apply for the job as a lecturer in Chengwangfu, and he has already "used" Jinbao to build a good relationship with people inside and outside.

When Concubine Cheng saw Jinbao, whose alias was "Xiaohua", she wished that it was her own.

Jin Bao was kissed and hugged by a few wretched servants, and he rolled his eyes in disgust, and even more disgusted by the new name his father gave him, he wanted to cry.

Seeing that Song Wei was still standing aside, one of the boys greeted him with a smile, "Mr. Wen is here?"

Song Wei nodded lightly.

When he came to apply for the job, he disguised himself, saying that his surname was Wen, his mother died of illness, and his wife's whereabouts were unknown. Forced to make ends meet, he brought his little daughter to the palace to find a job to support the family.

Originally, it was not that simple to enter the palace, and the manager had to check his household registration and family background, but Jinbao was too beautiful in women's clothes, even though he was wearing cotton cloth that the servants of the palace would not wear, it was still easy for Princess Cheng to put it down. Song Wei passed the test with King Cheng, and the Four Books and Five Classics are really good, so many complicated procedures were avoided, and he was directly asked to come today.

The Imperial Academy had an attendant who read and lectured on the scriptures for the emperor. The reason Cheng Wangfu followed suit was because the eldest son Zhao Shuo lived in seclusion all the year round. Instead, I invited Mr. to teach at home.

Zhao Shuo found it boring to listen to a gentleman's lectures for several years, and recently asked Cheng Wang to recruit a gentleman who could teach the Four Books and Five Classics for him.

For some reason, King Cheng didn't make plans for the great Confucians of the time, but aimed at the common people, and it was precisely because of this that Song Wei was hired so smoothly.

At the moment, several servants stayed outside the side door, and one of them went in to report.

Princess Cheng found out that it was Mr. Wen who came, and the pretty girl's white and tender face unexpectedly appeared in her mind. She only had Zhao Shuo as a son in her life, and she had no daughter under her knees. She couldn't tell "Xiao Hua" like.

Ask someone to take Song Wei to see the crown prince, and Princess Cheng personally takes Jinbao to her courtyard, saying that there is something delicious to eat.

Seeing this, the nanny next to Princess Cheng was very worried.

The palace has strict rules, when did such an unknown person come in?
She frowned, looked at the "little girl" sitting on the armchair with her calves slumped, and picked up a piece of soft cake, "Xiaohua, where did you come from? If you answered correctly, this piece of cake will belong to you."

In fact, Jinbao has eaten more delicious cakes than this, but he has to cooperate with his father to be a poor man, so he can only pretend to be drooling and his eyes are shining. He raised his head, his big eyes were wet, "I asked I passed my father, he said I came from my mother's womb."

Mammy: "..."

Princess Cheng couldn't help laughing, and gave Mammy a bad look, "Don't tease her, the little girl is afraid of life, I won't be able to coax you if she makes you cry."

Mammy had no choice but to pass the pastries to Jinbao.

Jin Bao put it on the coffee table beside him without eating.

Mammy frowned again, "Why don't you eat?"

Jin Bao's voice was soft, sounding like a little sister, "I have never eaten such a delicious pastry, I want to take it back and eat it with Daddy."

Humming in my heart, who knows if there is poison.

……

When Wei Lin sent the letter back, Wen Wan was debating whether to go to Cheng Wang's Mansion.

When she saw the note saying that Song Wei and Jin Bao disappeared together, Wen Wan thought of the tragic situation when those children were found, and felt that the sky was falling, her heart was hurting, and her face was unreasonably pale.
