Being trusted by the magistrate is a good thing, but it is also a troublesome thing.

She was just a coroner, Chen Yuan wailed in her heart, wanting to say that I don’t know, but she answered cautiously, “Didn’t we catch some concubines from Yu’s mansion and come back? Let’s see what they say later.”

Yu Bantou said, "I had interrogated these aunts when you were taking the autopsy just now, but they said no one was instructed."

In the Yu Mansion interrogation, there were so many old mothers and servants staring outside. Do these concubines dare to tell the truth?

He was whispering in his heart, but Chen Yuan also knew about the interrogation. Yu Bantou was more capable than her. "There is strange things about these aunts who are making funerals."

"Everyone with eyes knows that their appearance is strange." Wei County Magistrate interrupted Chen Yuan's speech with a sneer.

All of them are used to his fault, Chen Yuan is not annoyed and smiles, "I don't know much about the situation in the Yu family. I always feel that the concubines of the Yu family seem to be divided into two gangs. The first wave I see is going to look for the big ones.

The young master's troublesome aunt seems to have children and daughters. The second wave of aunts in the funeral hall, I wonder if they didn't take care of their children when they were causing trouble, or if they really had children?"

Who can clearly understand the matter about others’ back home?

"Jin Lucai made a good autopsy. If you care who has children and who has no children, what does this have to do with Yu Shouqian's death?"

County Magistrate Wei pulled his sleeves impatiently, "The murder case is nothing more than love, money, power and hatred. Yu Shouqian is a businessman and the possibility of making enemies due to business is the greatest. Even if it is due to emotional reasons, it has nothing to do with whether these concubines have children.

”

She didn't say that other aspects were not important, Chen Yuandao, "What the county magistrate said is reasonable. We should start from all aspects of investigation. But I really don't understand the situation of Yu's mansion, so I want to understand the interpersonal relationships of Yu's mansion.

.”

The county magistrate Guan said, "Do you have asked about the interpersonal relationships of Yu's house clearly?"

Yu Quan had to do a lot of things when he was in Yu's mansion. As soon as he returned to the county government, he had to ask questions. How could he remember the many things about the concubines? "Returning to the magistrate, Yu Shouqian has too many concubines, so his subordinates can't remember them.

I asked an aunt to come in and ask the masters to ask questions."

The county magistrate Guan nodded, "It's feasible."

"yes."

Yu Bantou went out and gave an order, not long after, Ma Li brought a mourning concubine over.

This aunt is a solid figure, with a wide body and fat body, and looks honest and honest. She does not have the charm of the concubines of the Yu Mansion, and she seems to be older and has wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

Maybe I have never seen so many adults wearing official robes and serious faces. As soon as I entered the door, I knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, "I'm a villain Feng Chun'er, I've seen all the adults!"

Now it is not in the court, so there is no need to worry about the magistrate’s question. Wei County Chief felt that it had nothing to do with these concubines, so Yu Bantu went on his own, "Empress Feng, who are you Yu Shouqian's concubines?"

Feng Chuner answered frankly, "The concubine is the fourth concubine given to Mr. Yu by Mr. Sheng."

"Do you have children?"

Feng Chuner showed sadness, "I have never."

Yu Quan looked at Chen Yuan. He didn't know what Chen Yuan wanted to ask about this. Their yamen runners directly asked how to kill people and whether you killed them.

Chen Yuan was not sure what Mr. Yu's death had to do with it. She just had questions about this, so Yu Quan handed over the question to her, and she still had to cherish it. "Auntie Feng, how many young Yu Shouqian have?

concubine?"

"The master has twenty-three concubines."

An envy and jealous breath sounded in the room.

Nanli Kingdom was strict with officials taking concubines. There were 10 concubines including the prince, 8 concubines of the second-rank official concubines, 6 concubines of the third-rank prince and the state, 4 concubines of the fourth-rank prince and the fifth-rank concubines.

The status of a concubine is not as good as a wife, but the concubine is more like a maid in a wife's house, and the outer room is justified.

Although it is impossible to be so strict in actual operation that you can secretly keep an outdoor room or a girl in a house, officials on the surface still dare not take concubines at home to blatantly exceed the national law.

Who will ruin his future because of a woman?

As for the private businessmen, the court could not control them, nor could it be controlled by them.

Chen Yuan sighed, "The twenty-three concubines were given to Yu Shouqian by Mr. Sheng?"

"No."

Aunt Feng shook his head, "At the beginning, Mr. Sheng gave it to the master, from the second aunt Qian Shulian, third aunt Rong Qingmei and me, until the ninth aunt He Juan, they were all bought by Mr. Sheng and gave it to the master. From the tenth sister, sister

At the beginning, Mr. Yu took it home by himself, but he would occasionally get into the concubines given by Mr. Sheng…”

After listening to Aunt Feng's talk for a long time, she also clarified that Old Master Sheng gave him a total of fifteen, and Yu Shouqian brought back eight by himself.

Chen Yuan, "You entered the mansion very early. Every time Old Master Sheng gave his aunt to Yu Shouqian, what expressions did they have? How happy are they?"

"At the beginning, Mr. Yu was unhappy. At that time, Mr. Yu was thin and haggard. He couldn't forget Mr. Sheng, and he even asked Mr. Sheng for our contract to sell our body, hoping to give us money to let us go home and live our own life."

Recalling the past, Aunt Feng showed a faint smile on her face, "Mr. Yu is a good person. It is rare for him to be like a affectionate man. It is our blessing to be able to follow him. We are unwilling to leave, so please stay in Yu's mansion.

”

"Old Master Sheng gave it to Mr. Yu's concubine, can anyone give birth to a child?"

“…”

Aunt Feng bit her lip, her eyes revealed unpredictable pain, and when she lowered her head, she hid a flash of hatred and shook her head, "No one."

Now, everyone finally knew what Chen Yuan meant.

In fact, Chen Yuan just found that the aunts who were in the funeral hall seemed to be a little older, while the aunts who were carrying children were generally younger. Of course, this did not mean anything, but she felt that she should pay attention.

However, when asked, she still didn't know what the specific connection was.

County Magistrate Guan asked bluntly, "Why didn't you give birth to a man and a half woman for Mr. Yu? Is Mr. Yu unforgettable love and unwilling to touch you, or is he not satisfied that you are the woman given by Mr. Sheng and unwilling to give birth to his child.

?”

Aunt Feng shook her head repeatedly, very safeguarding Yu Shouqian, "No, no, Master Yu is a good person, he should care about his wife in his heart, Mrs. Sheng deserves Master Yu's deep love and longevity, it's us... It's us who have a bad reputation for Master Yu.

It was a delusion that Mr. Yu wanted to forget his wife. It was not a big deal that Mr. Yu was unable to give birth to a son and half of his daughter. It was... when Mr. Sheng bought us, he let us drink the medicine of tigers and wolfs.

,We...we will never be able to give birth to a child for Mr. Yu in our entire lives."

This answer is really surprising.

But in a reasonable way, how could a father be so generous that he gave his daughter more than ten cuckolds and didn't take precautions?

Old Master Sheng is also a smart businessman. When Sheng Dongyue died, Yu Enming was young. He was worried that Yu Shouqian would not think about it and so he gave his son-in-law a concubine who looked like his daughter.

He was also afraid that his concubines' children would threaten Yu Enming's status in the future, so he fed these women the medicine to stop the future.
