"It's only been one day. It's hard to find out anything." Mrs. Dingguo sighed slightly and said, "Everyone, please go back and be careful. My eyelids have been twitching since last night.
I always feel that something is going to happen. We have been in the capital for so many years. We have many friends and enemies. We are jealous and anxious to see that there are many good people around us. Everyone should continue to investigate the bad ones.
You need to be more vigilant. Don’t let anything happen again.”
After listening to Mrs. Dingguo's words, several daughters-in-law fell into deep thought.
Altaxia and Cheng Xiuxiu both had children to care for, so they excused themselves after talking and left. Wu Yun'er, Xia Pingting and Fu Mingyu were the only ones left in the side hall.
"I realized today that I am not the only one who is in trouble." Wu Yun'er said, she looked at Fu Mingyu, "Even girls like the fifth younger siblings who grew up in the presence of the Queen Mother will encounter all kinds of rumors.
A princess who is like a jewel in the palace will encounter all kinds of troubles." She sighed, "I was too naive when I was a girl. My father was a military commander and a guard, so he didn't have time to teach me.
These."
"Good boy." Mrs. Dingguo Gong felt extremely uncomfortable. She felt very guilty. If she could have been more careful, Wu Yuner would not have fallen into this trap for such a long time.
"Although I didn't catch anyone's excuse today, it's not all without gain." Xia Pingting said with a smile, "At least my sister-in-law's mood has opened up."
"It's not all without gain." Fu Mingyu said with a smile, "The people my sister-in-law sent out haven't come back yet, so I think they should have gained something. Besides, I feel that although Mrs. An Dinghou poured dirty water on me today, originally
Her opponent was not me. Instead, she was instigated by Ding Wanxin after seeing me there, so she pointed the finger at me."
When Wu Yun'er heard this, she suddenly realized, "Yes." She said a little excitedly, "At first it was me who they were making noise in the yard outside the window! Later, when they saw the fifth younger sister coming out, they changed the direction. It was because they criticized the fifth younger sister.
The matter was so big that they ignored my matter."
"So you meet gossips almost every time you go out?" Xia Pingting also understood Fu Mingyu's intention of taking Wu Yuner out, and she asked a little surprised. Before, she only thought of those gossips behind her back.
Coincidentally, Fu Mingyu is very careful and thinks there is something fishy in this.
"Yes. Basically every time." Wu Yuner nodded and said.
At this moment, Cheng Yun asked for an audience outside, and Fu Mingyu asked him to come in. After entering, he handed a piece of paper to Fu Mingyu, "Princess, this is where the late wife went today. The people she came into contact with, all the things she did.
The sea of clouds has been sorted out and written on it."
"Thank you for your hard work." Fu Mingyu took the pieces of paper and asked Cheng Yun to go down.
She lowered her head and looked at it. I have to say that Qi Yunhai is indeed a careful person. The writing on these two pieces of paper is clear and clear, without any minutiae. The wife's itinerary is written in chronological order in a concise and comprehensive manner, making it clear at a glance.
"I have met a lot of people this evening," Fu Mingyu said with a smile, and then her smile paused slightly, "Since I believe in Buddhism, do you still like to gamble? She also went to the Golden Hair Gambling House. What a coincidence.
.”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Fu Mingyu handed the evening mother's itinerary to Mrs. Dingguo, "Mother, please take a look."
After reading it, Mrs. Ding Guogong also handed over the itinerary to Wu Yuner.
"I'm afraid this blond gambling house has some skills." Xia Pingting and Wu Yun'er were sitting together. When Wu Yun'er looked at it, she also raised her head and took a look. "In my memory, there are several big gambling houses in Beijing.
There is no place like this. It must be an inconspicuous little gambling house."
"You're right. This gambling shop is in an alley in the north of the city. It's not very big. If someone doesn't lead the way, or if you ask ordinary people from the capital to look for it, I'm afraid even those who don't live in that area won't be able to find it.
Which way does the door of the square open?" Mrs. Dingguo nodded.
"Mother said there was another boy who went to a teahouse?" Fu Mingyu remembered what Mrs. Dingguo said before, "That teahouse is also in the north of the city? Are the two of them together?"
"The tea house is just opposite the entrance of this alley." Mrs. Dingguo said, "That boy drinks tea in the tea house."
"Which of these two people arrived first and who arrived later?" Fu Mingyu asked, "Did the two of them meet?"
"According to the people I sent there, there is no such thing." Duke Dingguo said, "The boy who drank tea arrived first, and he didn't leave until the boy who went to the gambling house left."
Fu Mingyu and Xia Pingting looked at each other, and suddenly their eyes became a little bright.
"I'm afraid these two people..." The two of them spoke almost in unison, and then they both stopped talking when they heard the other person say the same thing as themselves.
"Second sister-in-law, let's talk first." Fu Mingyu made a gesture of invitation.
"What I want to say is that these two people are probably accomplices. One is a whistleblower and the other is a lookout to see if the other has been discovered!" Xia Pingting said.
"Yes, that's what I want to say!" Fu Mingyu said.
"No!" Mrs. Dingguo stood up suddenly, "You guys come with me!"
Although everyone didn't know what happened, the sudden change in the mother's face meant something must have happened.
Several people got up and followed Mrs. Dingguo out of the side hall. Cheng Yun was still standing outside waiting. Mrs. Dingguo saw him and said, "Ayu, call your guards and go with you."
"Yes, mother." Fu Mingyu had already guessed where Mrs. Dingguo was going, and she quickly asked Cheng Yun to follow her.
Not long after, Mrs. Ding Guogong took them to a large courtyard in the far corner of the front yard of the Duke's Mansion. Female family members seldom set foot here, and it was only used by servants who had signed a death contract.
The yard where men gathered was messy and the smell was not very good. Mrs. Dingguo went to a room on the far left and said, "Cheng Yun, go knock on the door and have a look."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yun took two steps forward and knocked hard on the door.
At this time, the housekeeper came over in a hurry and said, "Madam, why are you here all of a sudden?"
Mrs. Dingguo didn't say much, but looked at the closed door with an uneasy expression.
"Have the people who lived there come back?" Mrs. Dingguo asked.
The housekeeper didn't know either, so he could only look at the other servants who were standing far away.
One of the boys had the courage to say, "To tell you what to say to my wife, when I came back from work to rest, I saw that their front and back legs were back. But as soon as they came back, they stayed at home and didn't even come out to eat dinner."
