Chapter 471: Wife Killing
"Knowing that Mr. Xie and Vice General Qi are really good friends, I feel relieved." Old Master Gu said calmly, "After all, Vice General Qi is the savior of Quanzi. Although Quanzi has gone, this has nothing to do with Vice General Qi, and neither does I I hope that he will be treated kindly and kindly by Mr. Xie like the late Xie Jiangshi, and he will disappear inexplicably."
Monarchs and ministers of the temple: "......???!!!"
Many people didn't know who Xie Jiang was, and it was only after Mrs. Gu added a sentence that he realized: "Xie Jiang is Mr. Xie's first cousin and married wife, who married into Xie shortly after the imperial concubine entered the palace. Because she is the niece of Mrs. Jiang, the mistress of the Xie family, she is deeply loved by her elders and respected by her peers before and after marriage. The imperial physician was sent many times to ask for pulse..."
Old Master Gu turned his head and stared at Xie Xiaoyu, whose face was uncontrollably pale. The corners of his mouth were slightly curved, his eyes were malicious, and he said word by word, "It turns out that the two generations of Jiang's daughters have prosperous children, and there are few difficult births. Mrs. Jiang, during her pregnancy, she had a husband who cared and cared for her, and her servants served her with all her heart, and the imperial concubine sent people to inquire about her day and night... so comfortable, it is said that Mrs. Jiang is in good health, otherwise, with Mrs. Jiang's shrewdness, and The importance attached to one's own children, even if it is a direct niece and daughter, how can one be willing to wrong one's own flesh and blood for it? Why, shouldn't something happen?"
"Indeed, when my cousin was pregnant, no matter who it was, everyone felt that even though a woman gave birth with half her foot in the coffin, it is impossible for many people throughout the ages to encounter dangerous situations." Hearing that this was wrong, Xie Xiyu forced herself to calm down, and said in a deep voice, "Later, my cousin and children were gone, and the lower officials were also distraught. After keeping my wife's filial piety, the elders decided to marry Cui's daughter as the continuation... ...If Mrs. Gu thinks that the subordinate officials murdered Fa's wife from this, it would be too arbitrary!"
After all, he was not from a high family background, and his status has not always been high, so he didn't dare to say more.
It was his teacher, Cui Wan, who bluntly brought up Yin Qu at this moment: "If it is according to what the old lady said, could it be possible that Concubine Wen Huixian went to have other secrets?! Or old lady Gu felt that when Concubine Wen Huixian was pregnant, she received a lot of attention. Is her care not careful enough?"
Ignoring Yin Qu's anger, he reminded this colleague with a sneer, "Lord Yin, this is the empress's real grandfather! Now that you say this, it's hard to say, what do you know? After all, His Majesty was busy with government affairs at that time, and the harem The concubines are all taken care of by the empress!"
In fact, although the queen was born in a noble family, but because she has no successors, her reputation is far inferior to that of the Yin family.
In addition, Gu Zhen is not the kind of master who is very cunning, how can he suppress Yin Xuan and others who missed the successor?
Therefore, after several pregnancies, Yin Xuan was said to be taken care of by the empress, but in fact, the empress only occasionally sent someone to send something to show her condolences. Yin Xuan had her own dowry to serve her. He would jump up at the slightest sign of trouble, how could he tolerate the queen's dictating?
In general, Gu Zhen is just playing a role.
But she can't stand her as the middle palace, any concubine is pregnant, the queen needs to bear the title of "care".
Now Cui Wan brought up the matter of Yin Xuan's death. Even though Yin Qu was annoyed at him for revealing his sore spot in public, he thought that he was in the same camp, and asked coldly: "Dare to ask Mrs. Gu, what's wrong with my little girl in the palace back then?" Is it the right place?"
"There are indeed some people in this world who have nothing to do with their loved ones." Old Master Gu said slowly, with a gloomy expression on his face, "Since Mrs. Xie Jiang was highly valued but died in childbirth, it is indeed inappropriate to suspect that Mr. Xie murdered his wife. But , since the old man said so, he naturally has evidence!"
Hearing this, there was an uproar in the temple!
Cui Wan's pupils shrank suddenly, and she subconsciously looked at Xie Xiaoyu. Xie Xiaoyu lowered her head, unable to see her expression clearly, and said in a deep voice, "Ridiculous!"
Not far away, Yin Qu was careful, but noticed that his sleeves were trembling slightly, and he didn't know if it was because of extreme anger or guilty conscience?
Yin Qu turned around in his mind, and there was some anger in his eyes. He glanced left and right, and hurriedly winked at a small servant in the corner.
The little servant was very sensible, turned around and left immediately, presumably to inform Concubine Min in the harem.
But Yin Qu was not optimistic about the consequences of this matter, mainly because Concubine Min probably didn't know about it at all!
Although he didn't like Yun Fenghuang very much, since he entrusted him to his grandson, of course he thought he had some understanding of the temperament of this noble concubine.
Yun Fenghuang was indeed cruel, but he was known to be kind to his own people.
In particular, Xie Jiang and Yun Fenghuang are not only direct cousins, they have been friends since they were young, and they have even become closer... This kind of relationship, unless Xie Jiang's sells Yun Fenghuang, Yun Fenghuang will never allow it Xie Xiaoyu murdered the Xie Jiang family!
It is very possible that Xie Xiaoyu did this without telling Yun Fenghuang!
The noble concubine didn't know anything about it, but the old man Gu came prepared, and the noble concubine didn't even have a reason to go to the palace so far, so how can this be done?
Sure enough, even though he categorically denied it, Xie Xiaoyu was still defeated in front of all kinds of evidence presented by Mrs. Gu, especially when the two curvaceous and earthy-faced young women were brought to the back of the palace, Xie Xiaoyu couldn't hold back any longer and collapsed on the ground. land!
Who doesn't know about his performance, is this undeniable?
Sure enough, after the two young women saluted tremblingly, when asked by Mrs. Gu, they cried and confessed in public: "The sisters of the slave family are all the daughters of Mrs. An..."
The so-called daughter is actually just a fake girl bought to be a prostitute.
Aunt An is naturally a madam. She was originally a prostitute. After she got old and faded, she lost her business, so she used her own eyesight to buy young girls-children, teach them to sing and dance, and cultivate their figure. Opened up to provide for the elderly.
Women from this kind of place know how to be low-key girls best. How dare they show off when they are in front of the imperial court? Directly explain everything about pouring beans from bamboo tubes:
It is said that there was a regular customer who reserved the courtyard to entertain distinguished guests, that is, Concubine Min's brother Xie Xiaoyu.
When Xie Xiaoyu was in Beidi, there were no rumors of a womanizer, but this was mainly because he was young, and the Jiang family watched him closely, not allowing him to mess around. After the wedding, he and his wife were in love, so they didn't think much about it. In fact, the young man who is full of vigor, was not very able to resist the temptation of beauty, but he has become a frequent visitor to their yard since then. It's just that Xie Xiaoyu didn't fancy the two sisters, but the fake girl who was adopted by Mrs. An together with them.
Of course, with Xie Xiaoyu's financial resources, he couldn't actually support the expenses of keeping a prostitute of this level, but who told him to have a powerful sister?
For Concubine Min's sake, many people were willing to pay the bill for him.
All in all, the prostitute has served Xie Xiaoyu for a few days, originally it was nothing if I wanted to, but Xie Jiangshi would have noticed the clue?
If the Xie's wives like Xiao Chen and Xiao Luo might make a fuss after realizing it, it's fine if they get sulking, and they might even take the initiative to help bring people in.
After all, the daughters of these families were rightly related to the Xie family at first, but since the Xie family gave birth to a concubine, they were inevitably compared, but how dare they continue to be equal to their husbands?
Especially the Xie Jiang family had no heirs at that time!
The problem is, she has no heirs, but she has a direct aunt, and a concubine and cousin who grew up with her, all of whom are on her side.
So Xie Jiangshi was not afraid of Xie Xiaoyu at all, and started making a fuss, and even Concubine Min heard about it afterwards, and she also stood by Xie Jiangshi's side, helping to teach Xie Xiaoyu a lesson... This matter ended up being a prostitute who was taken care of by Xie Xiaoyu, and Mrs. An was beaten to death, and the two women who came out to be witnesses escaped by luck thanks to some familiar customers!
Xie Xiaoyu herself was scolded by the imperial concubine, taught by Jiang's handwriting, and ridiculed by Xie Jiang's.
Of course, Xie Xiaoyu was very upset at such a result, but he also knew in his heart that he couldn't afford to offend either his own mother or his younger sister.
Furthermore, they are related by blood, and Xie Xiaoyu has not yet reached the point where she can't really recognize her relatives.
But Xie Jiang's is not the case. Although this is a cousin, she is also considered to be related by blood, but at this time the clan concept, the same surname is a family, and different surnames are outsiders after all. In addition, this outsider's ignorance and jealousy caused him to be so embarrassed. When Xie Xiaoyu was at home, he was not considered a favored child, but when he came to the imperial capital, even though he was not the best of Xie's children, he was not even the most supportive of the imperial concubine. Yes, but I can't stand him being the closest by blood to the imperial concubine!
Therefore, the flattery he received was even higher than that of Xie Wuzheng.
Xie Xiaoyu couldn't help feeling resentment in her heart, and gradually developed a dislike for Xie Jiangshi.
The two prostitutes prostrated themselves on the ground, tremblingly talking: "...At that time, I heard Sister Mei'er accidentally mentioned it, saying yes...it was Mr. Xie who said in private, if it wasn't...if it wasn't for marrying the Xie Jiang family This broom star, as long as he is not married, how can the son-in-law of His Royal Highness Sui An have the part to thank the son-in-law today?!"
After saying this, Chunjia on the throne was furious: "You bastard!"
It's just that the emperor was able to control his emotions freely after all, and after the attack, he changed his usual voice, "Speak on!"
"...Yes!" The two prostitutes continued with cold sweat on their foreheads, "Sister Mei'er wanted to be a good man at that time, so... she persuaded Mr. Xie to discuss with Xie Jiang's family and redeem her body! And... also told Xie Jiang Young Master said a lot of things about Mr. Xie's status is not what it used to be, Mr. Xie... Mr. Xie seems to have listened..."
According to common sense, Xie Xiaoyu could actually listen.
He was originally just one of the many legitimate sons of a squire's family, and his situation was of course much better than that of the common sons.
But if you want to talk about the scenery, it's really not your turn.
Even though his biological mother, Mrs. Jiang, has strong wrists, there are three elder brothers on top of him, and two younger sisters on the bottom.
Among them, the concubine sister Xie Fenghuan was fine, and the younger sister Yun Fenghuang went to school with him and shared the same teacher, but kept pushing him down again and again, which made him even more incompetent.
It's just that there are many descendants of the Xie family, although he is inconspicuous among them, but no one pleases him, so he didn't feel anything.
After coming to the Imperial Capital, the people and things that come into contact with are more and more complicated. Don't you want to change your mind?
Especially for a period of time in the middle, the major sects tried to alienate the Xie family's disciples, and even made Yun Fenghuang angry.
There are some talents in the market, even the sons of decent and famous families can be dragged into the water to become a dude, so how difficult is it to persuade him, a concubine brother with narrow vision and poor qualifications?
All the ministers exchanged glances, knowing that Xie Xiaoyu must have murdered his wife.
However, if it is said that all of this is his responsibility, it should not be.
He must have been led into a pit by someone.
Even Meier and the others who aroused his thoughts at the beginning and were taken care of by the imperial concubine and the Xie Jiang family were probably pawns behind the scenes.
After all, although Xie Xiaoyu is relatively easy to deal with due to his background and aptitude, it is also because of his background and aptitude that it is impossible to easily be as decisive as Yun Fenghuang and Xie Wuzheng.
He lamented that his fate was bad, he married his cousin in advance, so that he missed the position of son-in-law; he also resented that Xie Jiang's strict control over him, and that he was not as obedient and gentle as others outside...but he might not be willing to give up easily Violent hands.
For the vast majority of ordinary people, even without considering the consequences of violating the law, it is often impossible for them to kill a living person, especially a cousin who grew up together and a bedside person.
So Xie Jiangshi is obviously pregnant, so it should be a part of his energy, and he didn't usually find out the existence of Mei'er and the others, so why did he find out then?
Obviously, the real murderer behind the scenes deliberately let her find out, and calculated her reaction and the attitude of the noble concubine, so as to stimulate Xie Xiaoyu to make up his mind!
Think about it, Xie Xiaoyu may have been jealous of Xie Wuzheng before, and began to dislike Xie Jiangshi. After this incident, his resentment towards Xie Jiangshi reached a peak, but what about Xie Jiangshi? This master is also favored among Jiang's daughters. The mother-in-law is a real aunt, and the sister-in-law is a cousin who grew up together and has a good relationship. Will she hold Xie Xiaoyu? Will she settle down and ask for perfection? That's impossible.
Now someone reminded Xie Xiaoyu that as long as Xie Jiangshi is around for a day, no matter how majestic he is outside, he must be honest in front of Xie Jiangshi when he returns home... Can Xie Xiaoyu take it?
If he put it so nicely, he might still be able to bear it.
If there are two more people fighting against each other, if Xie Xiaoyu can bear it, with this city, Yun Fenghuang doesn't need to worry about his brother's future!
...Although everyone knows that Xie Xiaoyu was tricked.
But the fact is that he murdered his wife.
If he didn't nod himself, it would be impossible for those people to sneak into his house and let Xie Jiangshi die in childbirth.
All the ministers whispered, looking at him with contempt.
Today's father-in-law Cui Wan is even more pale!
Even Yin Qu, who was allied with the imperial concubine, turned away blankly, obviously not wanting to make any more efforts for him.
