Chapter 443 The Truth in the Carriage
The madam hesitated and asked. Her eyes glanced at Princess Ruian who had returned to the room at some point. She wanted to chase people away. She and Princess Ruian were going back and forth just now, and she was at a disadvantage. , at this time, they were even more unwilling to have the eldest princess Ruian listen to the affairs of their house.
But looking at the eldest princess Ruian sitting there, she didn't look like she would leave as soon as she said it. She just mentioned Qin Yuru's false confession. Even if she wanted to force her to stay, she had a reason. Knowing what happened today, she He had to listen even if he didn't want to. His face was as gloomy as water, but he had to ask.
"Grandma, there are quilts in Qin Yuru's carriage, several quilts!" Shao Caihuan said through gritted teeth.
Everyone was stunned for a moment and didn't understand.
"What? Quilt?" Madam Tai asked casually. She suddenly understood and sat upright. "Do you see clearly?"
"If grandma doesn't believe it, you can send someone to check. Just when my fourth sister and I were going to see it, this woman stopped us from seeing it. Then we saw that there were more than one quilt in the carriage." Shao Caihuan said bitterly. road.
Are there quilts in the carriage?
This situation is almost impossible. Whether you are going to a banquet or traveling, who would put a few quilts in the car? He was not a patient. Qin Yuru went to Prince Cheng's Mansion before, and then to Yong-Kangbo Mansion. When he finally went back to the mansion, he bumped into the carriage of the third lady of Duke Xingguo's mansion who was leaving the mansion.
If a car crashes, the quilt will be useful. If a person hits the wall of the car, it is very likely that something will happen, but what if there are several quilts? When there is a car accident, the most you can do is hit the quilt and no one will be hurt!
"Grandma, if Qin Yuru hadn't planned to hit someone early, how could she have prepared several quilts?" Shao Cailing cried, "Grandma, Qin Yuru had planned to hit the carriage at our house, but who informed her mother? Traveling, and the coachman happened to be walking on that section of the road! I beg my grandmother to make the decision for my mother!"
Shao Cailing said and knelt down with a "plop", and Shao Caihuan on the side also knelt down.
"Please grandma find out the truth!"
Qin Yuru had prepared a quilt early, but the two places she traveled to before were not related to Duke Xingguo's mansion, so how could she happen to bump into the carriage of Duke Xingguo's mansion.
Qin Yuru had a fake orchid seal in her hand. Qin Yuru took it out and looked at it before, and gained the favor of Mrs. Tai. The incident in Prince Cheng's Mansion made her reputation worse, and she urgently needed this fake identity. By chance, she bumped into someone who happened to go out. The third lady's carriage, and later found out that she knew about it early.
Mrs. Tai's eyes turned to Mrs. Xingguo in shock. She was not really confused. Qin Yuru was just a young lady who had not left the cabinet, and it was impossible for her to reach out to Duke Xingguo's house. If there was anyone else who could inform her, Yes, the most suspicious person in this mansion is Mrs. Xingguo.
"Mother, do you also feel suspicious? My daughter-in-law feels the same way. Someone in this house is colluding with Miss Qin!" Mrs. Xingguo frowned and said.
With what she said so straightforwardly, Madam Tai felt that she had made a mistake, was it someone else in the house?
"Go and find out who dares to plot against our Duke Xingguo." The wife was silent for a moment and said. There were many doubts about this matter. She had to find out. Mrs. Xingguo was her daughter-in-law, and the third wife was also her daughter-in-law, and She is also a dear daughter-in-law, and in front of so many people, she cannot be biased.
There are actually five rooms in Duke Xingguo's mansion. The eldest, second and third rooms are all born to the concubine. The fourth and fourth rooms are from concubines. The concubine didn't want to see these rooms, so she found someone to blame early on. Their two rooms were separated, which made the entire Xingguo Duke's mansion her direct descendant.
Naturally, the third daughter-in-law was not as attractive to her as the second daughter-in-law, but she was still much better than Princess Qinghua in the past, not to mention that in front of the eldest princess Ruian, the queen's bowl of water had to be leveled.
"Yes, mother, my daughter-in-law is going to ask about the carriage driver now. This carriage driver came to the house not long ago. The daughter-in-law seemed to be a good man, so she asked him to drive the carriage of the daughter-in-law. Who I never imagined that such a thing would happen!" Mrs. Xingguo said to the dowager.
After saying that, he came over and personally stretched out his hand to pull up Sister Shao Caihuan, and said with great distress: "You two children, don't kneel down yet. Your mother is still lying on the bed, and you have to take care of her. She is in such an embarrassing situation. The three brothers and sisters will I feel sorry for you, go and see your mother first, my second aunt will handle this matter, and I will definitely find out the origins of that coachman and this woman, so that your mother will not be hit in vain!"
These words were said in an extremely gentle manner, as if he really cared about them. He did not show any shielding behavior towards the coachman and the mother-in-law, and was very calm.
Sisters Shao Caihuan and Shao Cailing looked at each other, hesitantly.
Could it be that this matter really has nothing to do with the second aunt?
"Mrs. Xingguo said at this time, it is better to catch the carriage driver quickly, lest he get the news and run away!" Princess Ruian said coldly.
"I'll send someone to arrest her right away!" Mrs. Xingguo said with a smile, and then ordered a woman behind her, who hurried away.
"Madam, you have to explain this to me. The eldest lady of the Qin family has actually been in contact with people from your family for a long time. One carriage driver is obviously not enough. A small carriage driver will never interact with the eldest daughter of Qin. Is there any connection between them, and then he helped Miss Qin scheme against Duke Xingguo's palace and pretended to be my son's daughter?"
Princess Ruian raised her eyes to look at the Dowager Madam, her eyes cold and majestic.
The person pretending to be the daughter of Shao Jiang, but the orchid seal clearly belongs to Princess Qinghua. She is not wrong in saying so. But if the discussion is only about the daughter of Shao Jiang, the wife can also shirk the fact that the matter has nothing to do with the eldest princess Ruian, but If she is the daughter of Princess Qinghua, then she is related to Princess Ruian.
"Don't worry, eldest princess, we will give the eldest princess an explanation." Madam Tai's face became increasingly ugly.
"Then hurry up, come and take this woman away!" Princess Ruian stood up and said.
The two women behind her went over and pulled the woman who had been pushed in earlier.
"What do you mean, eldest princess?" Madam Tai sneered.
"It's not interesting. Since there is a carriage driver in the house, this woman who is guarding the carriage, I naturally have to ask, this matter has something to do with Qing Hua and his wife. It should be reasonable for me to be a suspect in your house! Princess Ruian said unconcernedly.
The lady was trembling with anger. She found him at the Xingguo Duke's Mansion. Before the people from the Xingguo Duke's Mansion could ask, he was intercepted by Princess Ruian. She said that there was one person on each side, which clearly meant that she didn't trust the Xingguo Duke's Mansion.
But what the eldest princess of Ruian is saying is right. Qin Yuru pretended to be the daughter of Princess Shao Jiang and Qinghua.
"The eldest princess does what she wants!" She said this almost through gritted teeth.
"Then I'll take my leave. Tomorrow, I'll ask the Madam to open the ancestral hall and record Zhuo Zhuo into the family tree. If the Madam feels that Zhuo Zhuo's identity is still suspicious, I can actually bring Zhuo Zhuo back to the princess's mansion." The eldest princess He looked at the Madam with sharp eyes, as if he didn't see the anger on the Madam's face.
After that, take the people and leave.
The captured wife of Duke Xingguo wanted to ask for help, but she had already had a handkerchief stuffed in her mouth, and was later driven out by the two wives.
The madam's face was livid, and she slapped the table with her hand. The shock caused an apple in the fruit bowl above to fall from inside, and rolled to the corner of the table, and then fell heavily to the ground.
"Go and investigate this matter. You must find out who wants to harm our Duke Xingguo." These words were almost squeezed out from the teeth of Mrs. Xingguo. Although the words were said to Mrs. Xingguo, her eyes were He stared at the departing figure of Princess Ruian in front of him with increasing annoyance.
This is her Xingguo Duke's Mansion, not the Grand Princess's Mansion. The Grand Princess Ruian actually ignores her existence, but it seems that this matter is really related to the Xingguo Duke's Mansion.
"Don't worry, mother, my daughter-in-law will go and investigate now!" Mrs. Xingguo also looked at the back of the eldest princess Ruian, feeling fearful and secretly wiping a cold sweat.
Fortunately, I listened to my daughter's words and hired new people for those who might be involved. And when I ordered them to do things, I didn't directly send my own people, because I was afraid that this kind of thing would be involved. Besides, what these two people did Everything is reasonable.
The old woman who was kidnapped by the eldest princess Ruian was really just a woman who took care of the carriage and did not let anyone get close to it. The incident happened so suddenly that Mrs. Xingguo couldn't let go for a while.
Although she also guessed that Qin Yuru should take some measures, otherwise it would be impossible for the third lady to be so seriously injured, but she just twisted her neck, but she had no time to check Qin Yuru's carriage at that time, and things happened one after another, and she had no time to check, so she He sent a woman to find the new woman who had arrived in the mansion and asked her to guard the carriage. She only said that no one could check the Qin Mansion's carriage casually.
The reason is of course because it is a carriage from Beppu.
From this point of view, what I did was right.
After thinking about this clearly, Mrs. Xingguo breathed a sigh of relief, said goodbye to Mrs. Tai, and hurriedly went to find the coachman. She had already dealt with the coachman, and believed that she should leave the capital early at this time. Then the purpose of giving him a large amount of money was to make him hit the Qin Mansion's carriage.
This was something she had taken care of. She had arranged an escape route early and would not leave any clues. But even so, she still had to inquire and find people in a serious manner.
"Madam, madam, it's not good. The coachman ran away and the people disappeared early. My servant went to ask and said that he disappeared after coming back yesterday." Duke Xingguo just arrived at the door of the house and saw her before The woman who was sent out ran over with a changed expression, panting and reported to her.
