Chapter 1243, Looking for the Mysterious Rough Envoy Woman
The collapse of the Marquis of Xingguo's mansion happened almost overnight, and no one thought that Shao Jing's title of Marquis of Xingguo was snatched from his elder brother.
Killed his own brother and sister-in-law, and has been working with Jiang to plot against his niece and nephew.
The simplicity of such a thing is appalling.
A lot of things have happened in Xingguohou's Mansion. The reputation of Zongling Zongzong has been badly damaged before. Now that Shao Jing has been brought to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, many people don't think so. No one thought that such a big thing could be brought about by an outsider girl. Come, dig out a thing that has been buried many years ago.
The entire capital was in a commotion, the emperor was furious, such viciousness was outrageous, Shao Jing decided to be executed by beheading, and he didn't have to wait for Qiu Hou to be executed, as he would be executed directly at Caishikou three days later.
The second wife of Xingguohou's mansion was kicked out of Xingguohou's mansion, the title was taken away, and it fell on the young Shao Yuanhao. Shao Yuanhao became the youngest Xingguohou, and the second wife and his family were kicked out of Xingguohou's mansion.
Sanfang originally split up and the family tree was settled, so this matter was not involved in it, and Prince Chen interceded, Sanfang survived the disaster, and hurriedly and quietly left Xingguohou's mansion.
Mrs. Tai didn't know about this. Now she had a stroke and was unable to move on the bed. No one told her about it. Nanny Yu still served Mrs. Tai and strictly ordered others to tell Mrs. Tai about this.
Mrs. Tai's sanity is no longer clear, day after day, no one cares about her, and she is the only one who has come to this point.
Shao Wanru took responsibility for Nanny Yu to continue to support Mrs. Tai, and removed all unnecessary maids and mothers-in-law, and Mrs. Tai's yard was also left empty.
With two maids, Shao Wanru came to Shao Jing's courtyard again. This place was supposed to come last night, but yesterday Chu Liuchen was called into the palace, and when he came back in the middle of the night, he told her that Shao Jing's matter has been settled, let her have a good rest first, and she can come and check by herself today.
The door lock was unlocked, Shao Wanru took Yujie and Qing'er up, the stairs looked very old, everything here was different from the yard outside.
Although the courtyard outside was dilapidated in some places, they were all repaired. Only here, the traces of dilapidation can still be seen, and it seems that no one has ever repaired it.
Climb up the stairs and walk around it slowly. It is actually not small. It is divided into two rooms, inside and outside. The outside room has some sundries by the window, which are actually not many piled up, and there is a couch on the other side.
"Princess, someone has slept on this bed recently." Qing'er stepped forward to inspect it carefully and said, "Look, there are still hairs that fell out here."
She pinched a strand of hair, half gray and half white, that looked as if it had fallen from an elderly person.
"If it was a long time ago, there should still be dust on this hair, but there is nothing right now." Qing'er put her hair on a piece of white silk handkerchief, pressed the ends of it, and said.
There is no dust on the veil, so it can be seen clearly.
Shao Wanru nodded, her watery eyes turned slightly, and landed on the door curtain in the inner room, where there was a rough door curtain hanging there, which was very unusual.
Although it looks a little old, it is not an old thing more than ten years ago.
Walking closer, Yu Jie stepped forward to lift the curtain, there was no door behind the curtain, and no door panel above the door frame, only the curtain separated the inner room from the outer room.
There is a bed in the inner room, the bed is very wide, walking to the bed, Shao Wanru took a deep breath, lifted the
The gauze curtain rises and falls, and there is nothing behind the gauze curtain.
Qing'er stepped forward, inspected it carefully, and reported: "There have been people living here recently. If it has always been a dilapidated house, it should still have a moldy smell, but when I came in, it seemed that people have been living in this house all the time." like."
As she spoke, she touched from the side of the pillow and took out a handkerchief.
It's a simple piece of veil, but it's very new, and you can tell it's the latest thing at a glance.
"Princess, people have lived here, just like the couch outside, they are all inhabited. It should be these few days, but they are not here now." Qing'er said, she is very professional about this kind of thing. It was also the reason why Shao Wanru brought her here on purpose. It was always easy for a hidden guard to find clues.
Shao Wanru nodded and stepped forward, walked to the window next to the bed, stretched out her hand and pushed the window, the window was closed tightly, even if she tried her best, she could only push out a small gap.
Yu Jie stepped forward to help her, and the window opened a little.
I looked out the window, but there wasn't much to see.
"Does it seem like someone is locked up here?" Shao Wanru's voice was hoarse.
"It's a bit similar, but who is Shao Jing going to lock up? Who made him lock him up, the outer room is kept outside." Qing'er asked puzzled.
It's not that Shao Jing can't imprison people, he is a Xingguo Marquis, even if he wants to imprison a few people, it's not a big deal, but if there is a problem, he will imprison people here, which means to watch closely.
"Did you keep an outer room?" Yujie looked at a dressing table next to her and said.
Shao Wanru's gaze also fell on the dressing table. Although it was a simple dressing table with a bronze mirror on it, it could still be seen that it was a dressing table.
The drawer was opened, and there was nothing, even if there was a hairpin before, it was now inserted into the head and taken away.
Pulling back the stool, Shao Wanru sat in front of the dressing table, reached out to wipe the dressing table, there was dust on the corners, it could be seen that this dressing table was not taken seriously, it was just a casual grooming, it couldn't be Shao Jing's outer room.
It's not his outer room, but a woman is imprisoned here, and there is doctor Qiu's fake death medicine. The identity of the woman is ready to be revealed, and she stretches out her hand to press her chest, suppressing the trembling in her heart. She thinks of that thick and excessive woman, That old woman came here at that time.
Such a thick woman must be strong, what kind of woman needs such a woman? With his head lowered slightly, he took a deep breath, feeling suddenly out of breath.
Was that who she identified?
"Go and find out who that burly woman is?" Shao Wanru said.
Yu Jie ran down in response, Shao Wanru stood up, walked around inside again, and went downstairs.
The woman in charge has already been called, and at the moment the masters in this mansion are from the Dafang lineage, and everyone in the servants knows that, seeing Shao Wanru come down, they become more respectful.
Sitting down on the chair in the middle, Shao Wanru looked at the woman in charge, she looked smart, and asked straight to the point: "Last time I saw a very strong woman here, but she was not a rough woman. , who went to this unused attic, and where is it now?"
"Is the princess asking about Nanny Xiu?" The woman in charge knew who she was asking after thinking about it, and hurriedly flattered her, "Mommy Xiu left the night before yesterday."
"Last night?
"Shao Wanru's face changed slightly. It was when E Niang was preparing to enter the genealogy the next day, "Is it very late?" "
"Yes, it was very late. I heard that something happened at Madam Xiu's house. Master Hou allowed her to leave. The slaves didn't see her when she left. I heard Master Hou casually mention it the next day."
The steward said.
"Where is this Nurse Xiu from, and what did she do before?" Shao Wanru asked again.
"This... this servant really doesn't know." The nurse in charge smiled wryly.
"What's going on?" Shao Wanru raised her eyes, her eyes were cold.
"Mother Xiu actually followed Lord Hou very early... No, the second master, she was alone, and there was no one else in the family. Later, she lived outside and rarely returned to the mansion. She didn't see each other for a year. After a few days, when I went back to the mansion, I just stayed in this yard, and basically never went out. This time when I came back, I grew up a lot and lived here. Lord Hou said to let her pack the things in the attic. Living on one side saves me from having to find another place.”
The nun in charge said that she actually didn't know much about this nun, and most of them were told by others. This nun seemed to have strength, and she usually ignored people. If someone offended her, they would go to Lord Hou to sue, and no one else in the yard dared to offend her.
"Is there anything special about her?" Shao Wanru took a deep breath with a fishy taste in his throat.
"In fact, she doesn't have much place... but she seldom goes out of the attic. The Marquis doesn't let anyone else go up there, but only her. It can be seen that she is a confidant of the Marquis. Everyone says that there are some family heirlooms from the Marquis of Xingguo's mansion on the attic. , Mother Xiu specially organizes these treasures, and she eats and uses them well, which are almost the same as those of the masters, and the quantity is particularly large, and a special little maid sent them over."
The nurse in charge thought for a while and replied.
"Can you find this person?" Shao Wanru asked.
"The slave may not be found." The nurse in charge said in a difficult way.
Shao Wanru narrowed her eyes, fluttered her long eyelashes twice, and waved her hand. The nurse in charge didn't dare to stay, so she retreated resolutely.
The room became quiet, except for Shao Wanru who seemed to be breathing too heavily, and felt stuffy in his heart, and finally adjusted himself, stood up and told the two maids: "Go back to the house!"
When he returned to the mansion, Shao Wanru went straight to Chu Liuchen's study.
When Xiao Xuanzi saw Shao Wanru coming over in the study, he laughed like a flower again, and immediately went up to report, and then invited Shao Wanru to go up.
Shao Wanru left the two maids below, and followed Xiao Xuanzi up to the second floor, and finally went around to the third floor.
In the study on the third floor, Chu Liuchen sat on a large chair, looked at Shao Wanru with a smile on his lips, and waved to her, Shao Wanru bit his lip and walked over.
"What's the matter, but what happened?" When she got close, Chu Liuchen pulled her over, his handsome eyes swept across Shao Wanru's slightly pale lips, and his eyes were filled with doting.
"You...will you believe my words?" Shao Wanru stared at Chu Liuchen in a daze, her eyes blushing inexplicably.
Along the way, she only felt that she was weak when she was in front of Chu Liuchen, and she also needed someone to protect her.
"I believe you!" Chu Liuchen said softly, making room for her to sit on a large chair, "Tell me, what do you need from me?"
