During half a cup of tea, Xia Boran looked at Aunt Zhao:
"What grievances do you have with Ziqi?"
In his memory, Xia Boran couldn't remember when Yun Qiuqin plotted against Aunt Zhao and Xia Ziqi.
Aunt Zhao looked at Xia Boran bitterly:
"Do you still remember, Mr. Xiang, that more than half a year ago, the second young master contracted smallpox and died?" [
Thinking of the dying Xia Ziqi in her arms at that time, Aunt Zhao's heart ached so much that she was speechless.
"If it hadn't been for the Second Young Lady's clever suggestions, the Second Young Master might have..."
As she spoke, Aunt Zhao's tears gathered on her eyelashes, and when reflected by the sunlight, a layer of three-color halo appeared, which was particularly delicate.
"I have never been able to figure out why the second young master caught smallpox while he was staying at home."
Aunt Zhao calmed down and continued.
"At that time, there was already a smallpox outbreak in the border town of Kyoto. I thought that before the second young master was infected with smallpox, the Qiu family once gave the second young master a cloth tiger."
Thinking of the cloth tiger that almost killed her son, Aunt Zhao felt the urge to grind her teeth.
"The second young master is young, and the cloth tiger was made in bright colors, so he was particularly pleased with it. The strange thing is that after the second young master's smallpox was over, the cloth tiger could not be found no matter how hard he looked."
"Then I thought about it carefully and found out that the cloth used to cover the tiger's four hooves was from the same batch as the cloth bought by Aunt Zheng for Appreciating Flowers and Poems."
"So, so many things are related to Jinxia Pavilion?"
Xia Boran didn't believe that Yun Qiuqin was so brave.
How dare you ruin the reputation of a concubine and take the life of a concubine.
If this is really the case and was tricked by Yun Qiuqin.
The fact that he has kept such a poisonous woman to this day and still treated her with all kinds of favors before does not mean that he is blind and has been fooled by a housewife.
"Dad, please don't rush to conclusions. Do you still remember Mrs. Zhang who went to the other village with Qiu's family and eldest sister?"
Xia Chiwan reminded softly.
The conceited Xia Boran was of course unwilling to admit that Yun Qiuqin had done so many things under his nose.
"Let her in."
Although Xia Boran didn't want to believe it, he still wanted to find out about it.[
Since Xia Chiwan had already mentioned this Mrs. Zhang, Xia Boran knew that Mrs. Zhang should also know something.
"Old slave, please see the Prime Minister."
As soon as Yun Qiuqin and Xia Furong returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mrs. Zhang naturally followed them.
Even if Yun Qiuqin and Xia Furong wanted to settle the score with Mrs. Zhang afterwards.
Unfortunately, after Granny Zhang returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she disappeared.
Xia Chiwan knew that there were experts behind Yun Qiuqin, so how could he put Mrs. Zhang in danger?
"Did you discover anything during those days in Biezhuang?"
Mrs. Zhang was sent by Xia Boran himself to monitor Yun Qiuqin and Xia Furong.
For this reason, Xia Boran still believed in Mrs. Zhang's words.
"When I return to the prime minister's house, I have already told the prime minister word for word what happened in the villa."
Mrs. Zhang did not answer directly, but said that she had already said it once before.
Xia Boran frowned and recalled it.
As soon as Mrs. Zhang returned home, the first thing she did was to report to him what had happened in the village.
