The useless daughter-in-law is going to turn the world upside down

Chapter 1518 Episode 43 Who is the murderer
"Ah!" Meng Wanzhou woke up from the dream and sat up suddenly.

Cai Yun, who was watching the night outside, heard the voice and rushed in, "Miss, what's the matter?"

Meng Wanzhou wiped the cold sweat off her forehead, and said, "It's okay, I'm having a nightmare, and I'm panicked."

Caiyun poured a glass of warm water over, "Miss, drink some water."

Meng Wanzhou pressed her beating heart, and just took a sip from the cup when she heard a knock on the courtyard door.

There was a quick knock on the door, as if something urgent had happened.

The gatekeeper woman put on her clothes and opened the door, "It's midnight, what's wrong?"

"Hurry up and inform Ms. Wanzhou, madam...something happened!"

"Bang!" The teacup in Meng Wanzhou's hand fell to the ground, and she said in confusion, "What happened?"

The mothers and maids in the palace were sleeping next door, and when they heard the sound, they all came over.

The nanny said: "Miss Meng, don't panic, change clothes and go take a look."

The four court ladies have already brought clothes in a busy and unhurried manner, and put them on for Meng Wanzhou.

Caiyun was a little flustered, and hurriedly found a comb to comb Meng Wanzhou's hair.

The maid who reported the letter was brought up, she knelt on the ground and cried: "Miss, go and see Madam, Madam is drowning!"

"How are you? How can you drown?" Meng Wanzhou's eyes were terrified, and she stretched out her arms to ask the maid to tie her belt.

The water lake of Meng Mansion is in the garden, and the location is very remote. It is impossible for Mrs. Meng to go to the garden at night.

The servant girl said: "I drowned in the bathtub. I have already called a doctor, but I don't know..." Life and death.

The palace maid's hands were quick, and within the time the maid answered, the clothes had already been changed, and Caiyun tremblingly tied a simple bun for her.

Meng Wanzhou didn't care about the etiquette taught by the mother in the palace, and trotted all the way to Mrs. Meng's main courtyard.

Before reaching the door, I heard tragic crying from inside.

Meng Wanzhou's blood rushed to her brain, she staggered and almost fell.

Caiyun and a court lady supported her one by one, almost half-supporting her, whose legs were already weak, into the courtyard.

All the servants in the yard knelt at the door, no matter whether it was true or false, they all cried mournfully: "Madam...Madam..."

"Ah!" Meng Wanzhou screamed, opened Caiyun and the maid's support, and ran into the house stumbling.

Master Meng sat there in a daze, as if he had aged more than ten years, with tears glistening in his cloudy eyes, he opened his mouth and said, "Zhou'er, your mother... has gone!"

Meng Wanzhou's mind went blank for a moment, and then she let out a scream, and rushed towards the inner room, tripped over the threshold under her feet, and fell to the ground.

Looking up, she saw that the mother-in-law was dressing and changing Mrs. Meng on the couch.

Mrs. Meng's hand was hanging limply on the edge of the cave, the Dan Kou on it was very red.

"Mother! Mother!" Meng Wanzhou knelt and crawled to the edge of the collapse, holding Mrs. Meng's hand.

This hand has lovingly stroked her hair countless times. Over the years, it has personally sewed clothes and made pastries for her.

However, now this hand has lost its warmth and vitality.

"Ah! Mother!" Meng Wanzhou cried out in pain and passed out.

The doctor was outside, and hurriedly carried it out for the doctor to treat.

The nuns in the palace sensed that something was unusual, and immediately suggested that someone be kept in the main courtyard. No one or anything could leave the main courtyard.

The woman who picked up Mrs. Meng for first aid said: "Master not only let people look at the courtyard, but the whole Meng Mansion is sealed off, and let people check it out after Madam changes clothes."

Mrs. Meng had an accident in the bathtub, she was not wearing clothes, she had to put on her clothes, put her on the coffin, and then let someone come in for an investigation.

Nanny nodded in satisfaction, and sent a maid to deliver a letter to Jing Xi.

Meng Wanzhou woke up leisurely, confused at first, and then burst into tears.

Master Meng also lowered his head, weeping silently and sighing.

One reason is the sadness of losing his old wife, and the other reason is that Mrs. Meng passed away, and Meng Wanzhou has to observe mourning for three years.

Meng Wanzhou is 16 years old, and she will be [-] in three years. Can the royal family wait?
Although Jing Xi was talented at that time, would the royal family accept a 19-year-old "old girl"?

Meng Wanzhou didn't think about that at this time, she knelt beside Mrs. Meng, holding her increasingly cold hand, she cried and passed out again and again.

Caiyun also cried along with her, not to mention Miss Nursing, she fainted twice herself.

She grew up with the young lady, and they are closer than her own sisters, and the lady treats her very well. In her private heart, she also secretly regards Mrs. Meng as her own mother. She always fantasizes that her own mother may be so gentle, loving and caring. calf.

Just after dawn, Jing Xi brought people here.

Meng Wanzhou woke up slowly from the coma, and when she saw Jing Xi, tears rolled down her cheeks, "Greetings to the lord...cough cough..."

Because of crying, her voice was hoarse and she couldn't speak.

Jing Xi was very distressed, and pressed her shoulder, "There is no need to be too polite, and my condolences will change."

Meng Wanzhou was dying and heartbroken at the moment, and was unable to deal with Jing Xi.

Jing Xi held his hand and said softly: "Don't worry, this king will send someone to find out the cause of Mrs. Meng's death. Whether it's a human or a ghost, he will be dug out!"

Master Meng saw that Jing Xi was so gentle and considerate to his daughter, he was slightly relieved, and said: "Thank you, my lord."

Jing Xi said to the guards following behind, "Go and check the main courtyard to see if there are any traces of outsiders entering or leaving."

"Yes!" Several guards dispersed to investigate.

Jing Xi said to a woman behind her again: "Go and investigate Mrs. Meng's body and the situation of the clean house."

In order to avoid suspicion, it is not convenient for men to check Mrs. Meng's body, as well as the bedroom and clean room.

The woman took a step forward, bowed her knees and saluted, "Yes!"

When Meng Wanzhou saw the woman, her swollen peach-like eyes narrowed. This was the woman in the small courtyard.

She suspected that it was Jing Xi's concubine, but she felt that it didn't look like it.

After all, with Jing Xi's status, if she falls in love with a woman, she can be taken to the palace.Even if it is raised outside, it will not be raised in such a simple small courtyard, and it has to be set up in a separate courtyard, a big house or something.

However, even if she is really someone Jing Xi raised outside, after what happened with Mu Yanheng and Yin Wenxiu, she will not be too surprised.

There must be some sadness, but I don't think it's a big deal.

Besides, it's not certain whether the marriage can continue after the mother's affairs. Why should she think so much?

Three years is enough to change a lot of things.

Jing Xi saw what she was thinking when she saw the woman's eyes flickering. He stroked her hair with his big hand and said, "Don't think about it, this is the king's subordinate, named Mo Bai, who knows medicine and poison, and is good at autopsy." , happy to investigate the case."

"I didn't think about anything." She lowered her eyes guiltyly, her throat hurt every time she said a word, and her brows frowned slightly.

Jing Xi knew she wasn't telling the truth, and didn't expose it, so he held her hand to comfort her.

After a while, Mo Bai came back to report: "My lord, I found out the situation."
