Abandoned Wife and Marry Only: Daughter of Houmen

Chapter 159

However, Zhu Ming kowtowed respectfully, and said calmly: "The lady who served in front of me back then, now there is only a servant girl. The servant girl was trusted and loved by the lady, and she was able to save her life. She has earned her life until now. I thought about this The matter will be taken to the coffin by the servant. I didn’t expect that the servant dared not lie when the girl asked about it, but if the girl gave an order, the servant would not say anything, and she could go to accompany the wife immediately, so that this matter would be completely sealed in the world. "

Hui'an had calmed down slowly, sat down with Nanny Fang's hand, panted for a while, and then continued: "Tell me about the situation at that time carefully, and don't miss any clues."

Zhu Ming kowtowed, and then replied with a reminiscing expression: "At that time, Madam had just left the cabinet not long ago, and it happened to be the birthday of the old man. Welcoming and seeing off in the mansion, there were about two hundred tables set up in the front yard alone, the master and the uncle greeted the guests at the front, most of the people who came were military generals who had good friends with the old master, they were good at drinking, and they made a lot of noise. It was fierce, so the masters were all drunk by the end of the night. Because the female relatives in the backyard had left early, and the wife had eaten a lot of wine, she was supported by Mei Ying and lay down early. The master returned to the Xihe courtyard to see the wife was sleeping Fearing being disturbed, she only glanced at it and went to the outer study. Since the wife has not asked the servants to stay on duty at night since the marriage, the slaves also went back to their rooms as soon as the master left. Unexpectedly, the master came out of the study the next day. After returning to the house, I saw the uncle lying on the bed..."

Seeing Hui An's gloomy expression, Mother Fang couldn't help asking, "What happened next?"

"The master was so angry that he didn't listen to his wife's judgment, so he went to the room to find the old man. At first, the old man didn't believe that the old man would do such a thing, but in front of everyone, the old man was lying next to his wife. Lord Hou was so furious that even if he closed the Xihe Courtyard, the maids and wives questioned them one by one, almost all of them were severely punished, but it is a pity that nothing was found in the end."

"Nothing was found?" Mother Fang frowned upon hearing this.

Hui An took a deep breath and asked, "Let me ask you, did your grandfather question the thief at that time, and what did he answer?"

Zhu Ming nodded, with an ugly expression on his face: "The uncle said...he said that he ate a lot of wine, and only vaguely knew that he had sex with a woman... about Dunlun, but he only regarded it as a girl. I don't know..."

Hui'an closed his eyes when he heard the words, and said, "How does that man treat my mother?"

"Back to the girl, the uncle and the wife have always been like biological brothers and sisters." Zhu Ming replied.

Then Hui An asked again: "How could a big living person appear in the house out of thin air, even if there is no girl on duty outside, could it be that he didn't hear anything?"

Zhu Ming sighed, with some confusion on his face, and said: "On the birthday of the old Marquis, Madam also rewarded all the courts with wine and vegetables, and the servants also ate wine. Perhaps it was because of this, but the one who slept that night It was heavier than usual, and I really didn't hear anything. It was only when the master returned to the courtyard the next day that the servants were awakened."

Hui An frowned even more when she heard this, and Mother Fang couldn't help asking: "Did the old Hou check the wine and vegetables you used that day?"

Zhu Ming nodded and said: "I checked, not only the wine and vegetables, but also the wife's house and the whole yard were almost turned over, but nothing was found."

Hui'an was even more puzzled when he heard the words, and his mind was spinning for a while before asking: "Think about it carefully, did any strange things happen that night? It is impossible for people to appear in the room out of thin air, let alone that person that night After eating wine, someone must have helped her into the mother's courtyard, didn't the gatekeeper woman see anything? Or forgot to lock it?"

Zhu Ming thought for a while when he heard the words, and then his expression changed, and he replied: "What the girl said is that there were two women who guarded the gate that day, and the Hou Ye also checked them carefully, and only let the Hou Ye beat the two wives. All the women said that the sleeping Shen had never heard anything, but one thing was strange, none of them remembered that they had locked up that night, only that Mrs. Wei had woken up once during the second watch, and she was in a daze. I remember forgetting to lock it, but when she went to look at it, the courtyard door was unlocked, she thought it was Mrs. Zhou who got up to close the door, but Mrs. Zhou never woke up."

Hui'an narrowed his eyes, and then asked again: "Where did that person live back then, and he didn't return all night, did the servants in the courtyard never find out?"

Zhu Ming shook his head, and said: "Uncle returned to Beijing to report on his duties back then, and would not stay in Beijing for a long time, so Madam arranged him in the Rongxi Courtyard in the inner courtyard, so that it would be convenient for Uncle and the old Hou Ye to get together. Furthermore, since Old Ming Wang personally presided over and witnessed that Old Hou Ye accepted the uncle as his adopted son and opened the ancestral temple, that is his own family, and there are not so many taboos. Living in the inner house seems to be close. Only the old man has a lot of entertainment, so he does not go back to the mansion It's not uncommon. That day, it was the Ermen who passed the word, saying that the uncle will rest outside the mansion at night and will not return to the mansion. Therefore, the maids of Rongxiyuan did not look for it. Master Hou asked the woman who passed the message. , but said that it was sent by the concierge. And the door said that it was the boy from Changchun Tower who came to the mansion to deliver the message, saying that the uncle was going to spend the night in the building, so he was sent to report a letter, so as not to worry the mansion. Because that day There were quite a lot of guests, and the people at the concierge were busy going around, they didn't even notice whether the uncle was out of the mansion, and the uncle was a frequent visitor of Changchun Building, so they didn't suspect him when they heard it, so they reported it immediately The second door. Only the old Hou Ye sent someone to look for the young man, but the old bustard in Changchun Tower said that the man had quit two days ago and had disappeared without a trace."

Hui'an heard that his grandfather's adopted son had passed the genealogy, he couldn't help being startled, his eyes flickered, and he was speechless for a while, thinking about Zhu Ming's words carefully, but he couldn't make out the slightest clue.

She only felt that there was something strange about this matter, both her mother and that person had practiced martial arts, how could they not be vigilant that night, it was obvious that they were tampered with.But this matter is obviously aimed at the adopted son of the mother and grandfather, so we can spy on who will benefit after this incident happens.

Thinking about it, Hui'an couldn't help staring at Zhu Ming, and asked in a deep voice: "Did the master have any abnormalities that day? You said that Master Xi went back to the yard after we left. Is it your mother who accompanied him into the room, or He went in by himself? What was the relationship between the master and mother at that time? How did the master change his mother after this incident?"
