Chapter 237: Young Master Jin (5)
Early the next morning, Xiao Ze and Du Heng came to Baopu Garden early to pay their respects, but they heard a piece of news that they both expected.Last night, Nanny Liu, who specialized in making dim sum in the small kitchen of Baopu Garden, hanged herself from the beam in her own residence, and the plum blossom yam cake was made by Nanny Liu.With her death, it will be difficult to find out who is behind the scenes.

The news of Liu Mama's suicide did not reach Princess Ning's ears. Naturally, Prince Ning would not let his beloved wife know such news, so as not to frighten her.But regarding the third son and third daughter-in-law, Prince Ning did not hide it.

Calling Xiao Ze and Du Heng into the study room, Prince Ning told about Nanny Liu's suicide, Xiao Ze immediately said: "There has never been a single servant in the palace, this Nanny Liu can serve as an errand in the father's garden. Presumably she is an old man of several lifetimes, even though she is dead, we can start an investigation from her family."

Prince Ning nodded and said, "I've already thought of this as a father. I sent someone to search Mother Liu's house an hour ago."

Xiao Ze shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's already too late. There are all reliable people in the father's garden, especially those who can be selected to work as cooks, and even more reliable people among the reliable ones. If there is no great temptation or No matter what the situation is, when Liu mama harms mother, she will definitely arrange all the funeral affairs of her family."

Prince Ning frowned and did not speak. At this time, the voice of the little eunuch reporting came from outside, "Return to the prince, guard He is back."

Hearing this, Du Heng bowed quickly and said, "Father, daughter-in-law, go and see mother first."

Prince Ning nodded his head, and waited for Du Heng to walk out of the small gate before calling out: "He Wu, come in..."

A guard with a medium build and not impressive appearance came out, and after saluting Prince Ning and Xiao Ze, he said: "Go back to the prince, Mother Liu's house is already empty, and I heard from the neighbors that yesterday their family said they were going to the countryside Visiting the girl who just gave birth, she left in the car early in the morning, carrying a lot of baggage, big and small, and the neighbors thought it was a gift for the girl of the Liu family, so they didn't care too much. Today's subordinates I broke into Liu's house and found that there were all clothes in the house, but there was nothing left, and the house was so clean that I couldn't even find a penny."

Prince Ning was furious, and shouted: "Hurry up and hunt it down!"

He Wu hurriedly replied: "Go back to the lord, the subordinates have already sent people to chase after him."

Xiao Ze interjected and asked, "Did you chase in the direction of Liu's daughter-in-law's house?"

He Wu hurriedly replied, "Exactly."

Xiao Ze said coldly: "If you can catch it, you will be damned. Who has ever seen someone who is about to run away and told them the direction to run away?"

He Wu was stunned, when he was at Nanny Liu's house just now, he was a little confused, so he sent someone to chase him without thinking too much, at this moment, he woke up when he heard what the third young master said, that he had been fooled.

Prince Ning knew what was going on when he saw He Wu's face, and immediately shouted: "Hurry up and send more people to search around!" He Wu responded and hurried out to make arrangements.Xiao Ze secretly said in his heart: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to find the whereabouts of Madam Liu's family with the help of He Wu and the people of the palace alone, and we have to use other people to do it."

"Father, do you have to pass the sign into the palace today?" Xiao Ze asked with a bow.

"Yes, the sign was handed to my father yesterday, even if there is a big matter today, I have to go to the palace first." Prince Ning said in a deep voice.

Xiao Ze had nothing to say, he could only say in a muffled voice: "Yes, son and your daughter-in-law will go back and change their clothes, and enter the palace with their father."

Prince Ning nodded and said: "Go, Ze'er, don't panic when things happen, the sky won't fall."

Xiao Ze nodded and said: "Yes, my son will follow the teachings of his father."

They asked Du Heng to go back to Jiaotai Garden to change clothes. Originally they thought that something like this happened in the mansion and they would not enter the palace today, so they only wore homely clothes, and Du Heng never combed that complicated hair bun.

About three quarters of an hour later, Xiao Ze and Du Heng packed themselves up, hurried to the second gate, boarded two sedan chairs and went to the main gate.

The one-by-eight-carrying large sedan chair and the two-by-four-carrying warm sedan chair had already stopped at the main entrance. The eldest son Xiao You and the second son Xiao Xi were already waiting at the door.

I saw the sedan chairs of the third brother and younger siblings being carried out.The eldest son Xiao Yu stepped forward and said with a smile: "The third younger brother and younger sister are here, we have to wait for a while, the father has not come out yet."

This is the gate of Prince Ning's Mansion, Du Heng, as a female family member, cannot show her face, so she boarded the last warm sedan chair and waited.And Xiao Ze stood outside with his two older brothers waiting for his father to arrive.

While waiting, Xiao Xi asked tentatively, "Third brother, the mansion is quite uneasy this morning, do you know what happened?"

Xiao Ze opened his eyes wide and wondered: "Is there anything? Why didn't I know? I didn't feel any uneasiness. Did Second Brother hear anything?"

Xiao Xi waved his hands and said, "I just heard chaotic voices, nothing else."

Xiao Ze looked at Xiao Yu again and asked, "Brother, did you hear that?"

Xiao Nuo naturally shook his head and smiled, "No, I've always been a deep sleeper, and I got up late today, so I didn't hear anything."

The three brothers are deliberately pretending to be confused, but in fact, all of them are like mirrors in their hearts.At this time, Prince Ning, who was wearing court clothes, walked out slowly, and the three brothers hurried forward to salute. Prince Ning didn't have any special expression on his face, he just ordered lightly: "Ze'er get on the sedan chair, Xi'er , you go back to have a baby, how can you do it with a pale face in the new year. Xiaoer, if there is anything in the mansion, you can handle it according to your discretion."

The three brothers all bowed and accepted, Prince Ning walked down the steps and got into the sedan chair, Xiao Ze bowed his hands to the two elder brothers and got into the warm sedan chair.Xiao Yu and Xiao Xi also cupped hands with him, there was a smile on his face, but there was a faint coldness in his eyes.

Seeing the sedan chair go away, Xiao Xi whispered to Xiao Yu: "Brother, there must be something wrong in the house, you have to check it out quickly, I always have a bad feeling!"

Xiao Yu nodded and said: "I know, you will take care of your health when you go back soon, it's important to take care of your body earlier."

The two brothers walked back to the palace side by side, Xiao Xi went back to Bohang Garden to rest, and Xiao Yu also went back to Zhongyu Garden to talk with his wife Cheng Shi.

Walking into the upper room, Xiao Yu saw that his wife Cheng's face was not very good-looking, and he seemed to have something on his mind, so he asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong with you, are you feeling unwell?"
