Chapter three hundred and thirty fourth birthday
Mrs. Lin couldn't sleep when she heard what happened in Anjiyuan. How could she have thought that Marquis and Zhuzhu would bring back such news when they went out.
"Mr. Tan San is really the murderer?" Mrs. Lin couldn't help but say.
Gu Chongyi said: "Now he was just taking Mr. Tan to the yamen for questioning. The coroner has not had an autopsy yet. The yamen needs to investigate carefully. Just a child's words are not considered evidence. What's more, the child just heard some words and did not see Tan Zigeng killing people."
Mrs. Lin felt a little cold when she heard this, and hugged the warmer in her hand tightly: "What do you think of the Marquis?"
Gu Chongyi was silent for a while before saying, "It's hard to say, so wait for the court to find out." Feng Anping heard news that Tan Zigeng said that the Tan family was framed. When Tan Zigeng went to the yamen, he told Tan Dingfang to be careful everywhere and not fall into other people's traps. Therefore, he couldn't understand whether the Tan family was black or white.
"Go to sleep," Gu Chongyi hugged Mrs. Lin, "There are still many things to deal with tomorrow. You can't go to the Wei family banquet with a haggard face."
Mrs. Lin nodded, turned around and closed her eyes.
"I know you are afraid that Hehua Hutong will blame me," Gu Chongyi said. "Tan Zigeng's own affairs have nothing to do with others. If he really wants to be able to explain it clearly, he is indeed open and honest. I will go to the Tan family to take this trip to Hehua Hutong. Although the door is important, the character of a person should not be careless."
Since she said this, Gu Chongyi mentioned Cui Wei: "I rejected Cui Wei, not only because of Zhuzhu's illness, but also because Mrs. Lin is too calculating. Cui Wei is humble on the surface, but always has a sense of ruthlessness in secret. This ruthlessness will definitely make him do something in the future. I am afraid that he will use it on other things."
When Mrs. Lin heard this, she looked up at Gu Chongyi in surprise: "Mr. Marquis thinks Cui Wei has a bad temperament?"
Gu Chongyi said: "When the old marquis passed away, Cui Wei was not old, but he should have known everything. He has not mentioned it in recent years. Lin Sizhen's affairs were exposed. You said Cui Zhen was uneasy and came to talk to you. What was Cui Wei at that time? I met a rebel on the way back to Beijing from Taiyuan Prefecture. It was Mrs. Lin's idea to get rid of you? How could Cui Wei blindly obey his mother for so many years?
These two brothers are not as good as Cui Zhen in terms of big disputes. If Cui Zhen had not supported everything in the Cui family, how could such a situation be? When Cui Wei entered the door, he was full of resentment towards his elder brother? Although Cui Wei said it was because of this marriage, I felt that there was a rift between their brothers? It was more than that simple."
Mrs. Lin didn't expect that the Marquis could see so many strange things at once: "The Marquis really thought about it carefully."
"What?"
"Zhuzhu's marriage!" said Mrs. Lin? "Zhuzhu is really a big girl. Will one day I and the Marquis really worry about these things?"
"Mrs. I'm already worried now?" said Huaiyuan Hou, "Even if I want to marry Zhuzhu out one day, I still have to find someone who is good at character? I can treat Zhuzhu wholeheartedly."
Mrs. Lin couldn't help but say, "Why did the Marquis suddenly think like this?"
"Zhuzhu has grown up," Gu Chongyi said, "Zhuzhu is not the only thing we can do." Zhuzhu was not panicked when he saw the body? It can be seen that Baoer was afraid of Tan Zigeng? It can be seen that Zhuzhu had already thought about his own thoughts in his heart, not that child who could only be manipulated by others.
...
When it was dawn, the heavy rain stopped.
The carriage from Hehua Hutong rushed to the gate of Huaiyuan Marquis' Mansion, and the manager immediately came out.
Gu Mingwan lifted the curtain and looked out anxiously.
"Old lady? Our wife and the eldest lady went to the Wei family banquet and were not at home today."
Old Mrs. Gu continued, "Where is the Marquis?"
The manager said: "Has the Marquis gone to the yamen? He was not at home either."
Gu Mingwan clenched his hand.
Old Mrs. Gu said sadly: "Then we will come again tomorrow."
Gu Mingwan put down the curtain and his eyes suddenly turned red: "Grandma? What should I do?" My father went out early in the morning and happened to run into Mr. Tan San walked out of the Shuntian Prefecture yamen? Only then did he realize that something happened last night.
A woman died in Anjiyuan? It was just the blame for Mr. Tan San? How could Mr. Tan be that kind of person? The Tan family took care of Anjiyuan all day long, but why did he cause such trouble?
Gu Mingwan thought about being wronged for Mr. Tan. He heard that his uncle was also in Anjiyuan yesterday, so she and her grandmother came to listen to the news, but they didn't know that they were useless.
"I have long said that they are going to the Wei family banquet today, and this is not a waste of time," Mrs. Gu comforted Gu Mingwan, "Don't worry too much. If there is real evidence, why would the yamen let Mr. Tan come out? These small things will be solved soon after Tan Shangshu comes forward."
What my grandmother said makes sense, but Gu Mingwan is still worried. If it is so relaxed, Mr. Tan would not say those things to his father. He must be cautious when asking his father to go out for business and it is best not to move first.
Mr. Tan is taciturn in daily life and has never said so much to his father. If it weren't for the emergency, he would never speak.
The more Gu Mingwan thought about it, the more he felt that things were not simple.
Gu Mingwan said: "Grandmother, let my father listen to Mr. Tan and don't pick up those goods first."
Old Mrs. Gu said, "I don't understand these things either. Your father is responsible for the business in our family. However, our family is just doing some rice and grain business, so there must be nothing big. Besides, how can I not take the food transported to Beijing? Just be careful when I go to the south to collect rice."
Gu Mingwan nodded, and she clenched the handkerchief. It would be great if she could meet Mr. Tan San. She believed that Mr. Tan would not kill anyone, so there must be some misunderstanding.
She just hated that she was anxious but couldn't help.
...
Wei family.
Mrs. Li has not held a birthday party seriously for two or three years, and today the Wei family is particularly lively.
Mrs. Lin looked into the flower hall, but there were not many guests outside, most of them were in-laws of the Wei family.
"Look at the screen embroidery is so beautiful," Mrs. Li smiled, "Thank you so hard, people with both bodies have to prepare these for me."
Mrs. Lin said: "It's good that the lady likes it."
"I like it," said Mrs. Li, "I also had this skill when I was young. It's a pity that I didn't have good eyes and couldn't get any needlework after all."
Mrs. Lin smiled and said, "You embroidered the peacock screen in the Grandma's house by yourself?"
Mrs. Li's eyes lit up: "How do you know, Mrs.?"
Mrs. Lin said: "I looked at the croaker screen for a long time. It was made of double-sided embroidery that was popular twenty years ago. There was also the word Li under the screen." That's why she thought about embroidering the screen to the lady.
Mrs. Li nodded repeatedly: "It can be seen that the lady is a meticulous person."
