Chapter 986: They Are All Objects of Suspicion
Chapter 986: They Are All Objects of Suspicion
Ru Lin is more capable in his work, and is a very capable "old" person next to the original owner.
In the memory of the original owner, the relationship between the original owner and Ru Lin was very good. Before she and Cheng were about to get married, she wanted to betroth Ru Lin to someone else. After all, according to the customs of this time and space, women should marry early and have children.
Moreover, the original owner also found a few with better conditions, and let Rulin choose by himself.
Ru Lin said that she didn't want to get married, and instead of marrying into another family to serve someone else's family, it would be more free to be with "Miss".
Now that the other party has already said this, the original owner will not force it.
In fact, in rich families, there are also some of the master's personal maids who follow the master all their lives without getting married.
The two are a community of interests in the back house, hugging each other for warmth, closer than real sisters.
Now Rulin and the original owner have not developed to the extent that they are like sisters, mainly because of Cheng Zhanghe.
Those who are "as close as sisters" are mostly related to their husbands taking concubines, jealousy in the back house, competition for favor, competition for family property and so on.
Now the original owner is not only the main wife, but also holds the power in the back house, her husband respects her very much, and there are no other women to covet her status and wealth...
Relatively speaking, the relationship between master and servant reporting to the group for warmth is weaker.
However, I have to say that among the servants, the original owner treated Rulin the best.
Juaner is on duty at noon today.
Qingu quickly sorted out the people around the original owner. Apart from the maid who served her personally, the closest person to the original owner was her husband, the current fourth-rank Taichang Temple Shaoqing, Cheng Zhanghe.
Cheng Zhanghe is twenty-seven years old, and the two have been married for five years, probably because the original owner's body is relatively weak, and nothing has happened.
From the memory of the original owner, Cheng Zhanghe was very elegant and considerate, and occasionally brought some gadgets to the original owner to relieve his boredom. He didn't shake her face because she didn't have children yet.
Even if the elders in the family were quite critical of this, Cheng Zhanghe was very protective.
Even in Qingu's body world, such a husband can be regarded as a model.
In fact, according to the customs of this hour and space, people are divided into three, six, and nine classes.
People value literature over business, and feel that businessmen are untouchables even lower than ordinary civilians.
It is very difficult for the daughter of a merchant to marry into an official family, not to mention that the other party is a fourth-rank court official and the wife.
Speaking of it, this is all due to the relationship between Cheng Zhanghe and the Ou family:
It is said that although Cheng Zhanghe was born in a family that was passed down by scholars, he was born in a partial house and was not taken seriously.
However, it was such an unknown ordinary boy who won the top spot at the age of nineteen, and also won the top spot at the youth poetry meeting that year, standing out from the crowd of young people.
In the eyes of outsiders, this is definitely a good thing for starting a family.
But as the family grows, there are also biased interests and intrigues in it.
Originally, with Cheng Zhanghe's talent and prestige, he was already able to become an official, but unexpectedly, he was replaced by an older brother of the Cheng family.
But this kind of thing can't be exposed yet, after all, it's a sympathy, once it is revealed, all direct and collateral families will suffer.
Just when Cheng Zhanghe was about to be hidden away by the family on the grounds of "family future", he met Ou Huasheng, the grandfather of the Ou family at the time.
Although Ou Huasheng was a merchant, he traveled all over the world when he was young and met countless people.
If it weren't for his knowledge and means, he wouldn't be able to save that huge family business.
Ou Huasheng saw that Cheng Zhanghe knew forbearance and benefit at a young age, and he knew how to repay his kindness; he was talented and able to bend and stretch. If he could help him overcome this hurdle, he would definitely make great achievements in the future.
Of course, he also wanted to find a powerful backer for the Ou family.
Don’t even think about those ready-made ones, they won’t talk to this kind of ordinary businessman at all, even if they talk to you, they want to scrape off a layer of skin from you.
But this "big tree" who has not fully grown up is different. He sees that the other party is a person who values love and righteousness. If he helps him now, he may become the "backer" of the Ou family in the future.
In fact, this move is also a helpless strategy. If there are people who can study among his descendants, and how many of them can enter official careers, why should they rely on others?
His business talents have been inherited by his descendants. Even if he hires the best husband, at most he can only eliminate illiteracy. Simply give up.
Let's say that Ou Huasheng used the huge wealth he had accumulated to clear up various contacts for Cheng Zhanghe, and then used his own connections and means to create a chance for him to meet the prince.
Cheng Zhanghe was also very competitive, and he did not disappoint Ou Huasheng's good intentions at all. Just that one time, he was appreciated by the crown prince.
Chengzhanghe first entered the inner courtyard to study, and two years later was recommended as a fifth-rank attendant, a bachelor, and a year ago was appointed as the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple.
All the way to promotion, it can be said that it is a smooth rise.
After Qingu finished washing up, he felt a lot refreshed. The original owner's memory was rearranged again, but there was still no suspicious discovery.
In any case, the original owner died strangely, not suicide. And it was so strange that even she didn't figure it out for a while, which meant that the other party was very subtle.
Those who can achieve this level must have been done by the people around the original owner!
Even though no one has any signs or motives to harm the original owner, Qingu is not a person who only looks at the superficial evidence, but everyone related to the original owner is now included in the object of suspicion by her - including her personal girl, And... Cheng Zhanghe.
Qingu thought, this is probably the reason why she entered this body - to help the original owner find out the cause of death, and to seek revenge? !
However, Qingu still couldn't sense the original owner's soul, which made her feel that something was wrong.
Let's talk about Qingu calmly, still following the original owner's previous habits, living step by step.
In order to observe the situation, Qingu did not completely subvert the original owner's usual image and style, and began to practice martial arts, exercise and other big movements.
Instead, directly practice innate qi refining technique, nourish and temper the body through spiritual power, and still achieve the purpose of improving physical fitness and increasing attribute values.
…………
Juan'er waited for Qingu to take a lunch break, then took out the basin, and when the veranda turned a corner, she met Ru Lin who was coming.
Juan'er called out sweetly: "Sister Rulin, you've come so early, Miss has already woken up, and today it's almost time for a cup of tea earlier than usual."
The original owner has always been very kind to the girls around her, and no one else competes with them. The relationship between the two is very good.
As soon as Juan'er met, she told the whole situation.
Ru Lin paused for a moment, then recovered his habitual gentle smile in an instant, and replied: "Oh, so it is like this. I happened to come over to tell Miss that my uncle is coming back tonight."
