The first thousand two hundred and forty-three chapters, looking for the mysterious rough woman
The collapse of the Xingguo Marquis' Mansion almost overnight. No one expected that the title of Xingguo Marquis' Shao Jing was stolen from his elder brother.
He killed his brother and sister-in-law, and he kept colluding with Jiang to plot against his niece and nephew.
Such a simple thing is terrifying.
There are many things happening in the Xingguo Marquis' Mansion. Before, Lingling's reputation was already very bad. Now that Shao Jing is taken to the Ministry of Justice again, many people don't think it is impossible for an outdoor girl to take on such a big thing and dig out a matter that has been buried deep many years ago.
The entire capital was in a panic, and the emperor was furious. Such a vicious mind made people feel outrageous. Shao Jing was sentenced to death and did not have to wait for the execution in the autumn. He was directly executed at Caishikou three days later.
The second house of the Xingguo Marquis Mansion was expelled from the Xingguo Marquis Mansion, and the title was taken away, and it fell on the young Shao Yuanhao. Shao Yuanhao became the youngest Marquis of Xingguo, and the second house and his lineage were expelled from the Xingguo Marquis Mansion.
The three houses were originally separated and the genealogy was decided, but this matter was not involved. The King of Chen pleaded with him. The three houses survived and hurriedly left the Xingguo Marquis' Mansion silently.
The Grandma did not know about this. She had a stroke in the bed and couldn't move. No one told her about this. Madam Yu still served the Grandma and ordered others to tell her about this.
The Madam's mind was no longer clear. One day, no one cared about her. It was her own way to take it to this point.
Shao Wanru was responsible for the fact that Madam Yu continued to raise the grandma and removed all the maids and the mother-in-law, and the grandma's yard was empty.
With two maids, Shao Wanru came to Shao Jing's yard again. This place should have been here last night, but Chu Liuchen was called into the palace yesterday. When he came back in the middle of the night, he told her that Shao Jing's matter had been settled and she asked her to have a good rest first and that she could come and check it out by herself today.
The door lock was opened, and Shao Wanru took Yujie and Qing'er up. The stairs looked very old, and everything here was different from the yard outside.
Although some places outside were dilapidated, they were all rebuilt. Only here can still see traces of dilapidation, and it seems that no one has ever repaired them.
As I climbed the stairs and walked slowly around the top, it was quite small, divided into two rooms inside and outside. One room outside had some debris by the window, but there was actually not many piles of them, and there was a couch on the other side.
"Princess, someone has slept on this couch recently." Qing'er stepped forward and looked carefully and said, "Look, there are still hair falling here."
She pinched a piece of hair, half gray and half white, looking like it was falling from an older person.
"If it was a long time ago, there should be dust on the hair, but there is nothing at the moment." Qing'er put her hair on a white silk squid and pressed the end of the hair, saying.
There was no dust on the veil, so I could see it very clearly.
Shao Wanru nodded, her watery eyes turned slightly, and fell to the door curtain in the inner room, where a thick door curtain was hung, which was very ordinary.
Although it looks a little old, it is not an old thing from more than ten years ago.
When he walked closer, Yujie stepped forward and lifted the curtain. There was no door behind the curtain, and there was no door panel on the door frame. Only the curtains separated the inner and outer rooms.
There is a bed inside, and the bed is very large. When you walk to the bed, Shao Wanru took a deep breath and lifted it up.
The gauze curtains that were lifted and fell were empty and there was nothing behind them.
Qing'er stepped forward and looked carefully. After reporting: "There are people living here recently. If it has been a wasteland house, there should be bad smell, but when you come in, it seems that people have been living in this house."
She said as she touched her from the pillow and took out a handkerchief.
It's a very simple veil, but it's very new. You can tell at a glance that it's something closest to you.
"Princess, I have lived here, just like the couch outside, and I have lived here. It must have been these days, but I am not here at the moment." Qing'er said that she was very professional about such things, which was why Shao Wanru brought her here specifically. A secret guard has always easily found clues.
Shao Wanru nodded and walked forward, walked to the window beside the bed, and reached out and pushed the window. The window was closed tightly. Even if he tried his best, he would just push out a small gap.
Yujie stepped forward to help her and pushed the window open some.
I looked out the window and saw not many places.
"Is it like I'm locked up here?" Shao Wanru's voice was hoarse.
"It's a bit like this, but who is Shao Jing going to lock up? Who asked him to lock up? The one who kept the outdoor room outside." Qing'er asked in confusion.
It’s not that Shao Jing can’t be locked up. He is a Marquis of Xingguo. Even if he wants to lock up a few people, it’s no big deal. But the problem is that he locks up people here. This is what he means to look at nearby.
"Did you keep an outdoor room?" Yujie looked at a dressing table next to her and said.
Shao Wanru's eyes also fell on the dressing table. Although it was a simple dressing table, there was just a bronze mirror on the table, it could still be seen that it was a dressing table.
The drawer was opened, and nothing was involved. Even though there was a hairpin before, it was now inserted into the head and taken away.
Pulling the stool, Shao Wanru sat in front of the dressing table, reached out to wipe the dressing table, and there was dust at the corners. It could be seen that the dressing table was not valued, so she just washed it casually. It could not be Shao Jing’s outdoor room.
It was not his outer room, but a woman was locked up here, and Dr. Qiu's fake death medicine was revealed. The woman's identity was about to emerge. She reached out and pressed her hand on her chest, suppressing the tremor in her heart. She remembered the stout and excessive woman, who came here at that time.
Such a strong woman must have strength. What kind of woman needs such an woman? Her head hangs slightly, and she breathes hard, feeling like she can't breathe.
Is that the person she identified?
"Go and check who the stout woman is?" Shao Wanru said.
Yujie ran away in a voice, Shao Wanru stood up, walked around in, and went downstairs.
The woman in charge has been called. The mansion is now the leader of the big house. Everyone knows it. Seeing Shao Wan coming down, she becomes more respectful.
Sitting on the chair among them, Shao Wanru looked at the woman in charge, looking smart, and asked straight to the point: "Last time I saw a very strong woman here, but I was not a rough woman. Who was going up to this idle attic? Where is it now?"
"Is the princess asking about Madam Xiu?" The manager knew who he was asking when he thought about it, and said hurriedly, "Madam Xiu left the night before."
“The night before yesterday?
"Shao Wanru's face changed slightly. At that time, it was time to prepare for the next day E Niang to record it into the genealogy. "Is it very late?"
"Yes, it's very late. I heard that something happened at Madam Xiu's house, and the Marquis allowed her to leave. I didn't see her when she left. The next day I heard the Marquis talk about it casually."
The nanny in charge said.
"Where is this Madam Xiu from? What did she do before?" Shao Wanru asked again.
"This... I really don't know." The nanny in charge said with a wry smile.
"What's going on?" Shao Wanru raised her eyes, her eyes were cold.
"Madam Xiu actually followed the Marquis for a long time... No, the second master is alone, and there is no one else at home. Later, she has been living outside. She rarely returns to the mansion. She has seen her for less than a few days a year. When she returns to the mansion, she only stays in this yard and basically never goes out. This time she has grown a lot when she comes back, so she lives on it. The Marquis said she asked her to clean up the things in the attic while staying there, so as not to find another place."
The nanny in charge said that she actually didn't know much about this nanny Xiu, and most of them heard from others. This nanny Xiu looked like she was strong and ignored people. If someone offended her, she would go to the marquis to complain, and no one in the yard dared to mess with her.
"Is there anything special about her?" Shao Wanru took a strong breath, and there was a bloody feeling in her throat.
"She actually has no place... she rarely leaves the attic. The Marquis of the Marquis does not allow others to go up there, but only lets her go up there. It can be seen that he is the Marquis of the Marquis of Xingguo Mansion. Everyone says that there are some family treasures from the Marquis of Xingguo Mansion on this attic. Madam Xiu specially sorted out these treasures. She ate and used them well, and it was almost the same as the masters. And the amount was very large, and there were special little maids who sent them here."
The nanny in charge thought about it and replied.
"Can you find this person?" Shao Wanru said.
"I may not be able to find it." The nanny in charge said in embarrassment.
Shao Wanru narrowed her watery eyes, her long eyelashes flashed twice, and waved her hand. The nanny in charge did not dare to stay, so she retreated with confidence.
The room became quiet, but Shao Wanru's breathing seemed too heavy, and her heart felt so depressed and uncomfortable. She finally adjusted her mind and stood up and ordered the two maids: "Go home!"
When she returned to the mansion, Shao Wanru went directly to Chu Liuchen's study.
Xiao Xuanzi saw Shao Wanru coming in the study, and laughed like a flower again. He immediately went up to report and asked Shao Wanru to go up.
Shao Wanru left the two maids below, followed Xiao Xuanzi to the second floor alone, and finally walked around 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, waved to her, and Shao Wanru bit his lip and walked over.
"What's wrong? But what happened?" When she got closer, Chu Liuchen pulled her over, and his handsome eyes swept over Shao Wanru's slightly white lips, and there was a feeling of pampering in his eyes.
"You...will you believe me?" Shao Wanru stared at Chu Liuchen in a daze, her eyes turning red inexplicably.
As she walked over, she only felt that she was weak when she arrived in front of Chu Liuchen and needed someone to protect her.
