After checking this time, it was found that in addition to the previous three people, the entire Dingguo Duke's mansion was missing three more people. Two of them were from Qingfeng Garden, a maid, a servant, and a maid from the front yard was missing.
And the house that Mrs. Dingguo asked about happened to belong to the missing maid.
Basically, the clues are now somewhat clear. The missing maid should be together with the late wife.
After the head count was completed, Mrs. Dingguo went to the front yard and warned everyone present that today's events were not allowed to be discussed again. No matter what rumors were outside, there was no need to pay attention to it, let alone argue with others.
What unnecessary talk? Even if asked outside, they can only tell clearly. If Mrs. Dingguo hears any rumors coming from the family, she will not take it lightly.
Lu Peiyuan was still leading people to carefully search the entire mansion. The Dingguo Duke's mansion was so big that it would not be possible to search it all in a while, for fear that there might be spies among these people, so after counting the number of people, Dingguo Gong's wife did not go there.
let them leave
, but asked the deputy chief of guards to find a few reliable guards to seal off the front yard, and asked the pantry to boil some hot tea and distribute it, and let these subordinates stay in the front yard until General Lu Peiyuan
Until the entire mansion is searched.
After Mrs. Dingguo finished doing this, she returned to her Wisteria Garden with Xia Pingting.
Fu Chunlai was really embarrassed to stay with the whole house of female relatives in this courtyard, so he went to Qingfeng Garden to help with the autopsy.
Now only Mrs. Dingguo and several daughters-in-law are left in the courtyard. Altasha and Cheng Xiuxiu have taken their children to rest. They are not here for the time being, but it does not affect the overall situation.
"Now it seems that the safest place is Ayu's yard." Mrs. Dingguo also felt a headache even after all the hard work. She couldn't help but raise her hand and press her eyebrows, "I'm afraid other people's yards must be well maintained.
If we go through it one by one several times, our Duke Dingguo’s Mansion is being targeted, and they won’t give up until their goal is achieved.”
"Who have we offended?" Wu Yun'er was a little annoyed and stamped her feet.
Fortunately, the whole family trusted her, otherwise a man's corpse was burned in her small kitchen, and this corpse was probably the late mother-in-law. If this matter were brought up in other people's homes, the temple would be blown up!
Now that Qi Yunhai came to help her testify, proving that the body was not that of the late mother, this really made her feel relieved.
But I'm afraid this matter has already spread.
Wu Yoona knew that there would probably be another storm in the city tomorrow.
People's opinions make gold, but accumulation destroys bones!
"Sister-in-law, please be patient." Fu Mingyu knew the anxiety in her heart, so she quickly comforted her, "Right and wrong will come to the surface one day. We just want to have a clear conscience."
"That's right, boss wife, you don't have to think too much." Mrs. Ding Guogong was also comforting Wu Yun'er, knowing that she was easy to get into trouble. People said before that she was not good enough for her eldest son, but others didn't think anything of it, even her.
This mother-in-law didn't think so, but her eldest daughter-in-law took it to heart. "I'll leave it at that. No matter what nonsense is said outside, you are my good daughter-in-law!"
Wu Yun'er's eyes couldn't help but turn red again. She blessed Mrs. Dingguo, "My daughter-in-law knows. Thank you mother for caring." In fact, she understood what Mrs. Dingguo meant by saying this, "My daughter-in-law has come out.
I will never confine myself and make a cage for myself as before."
"Okay, okay. It's great if you think so. You'd better live with Ayu these days. Your yard is also burned to ashes!" Mrs. Dingguo Gongfu said to Wu Yun'er, "Ayu, like this
Are you willing to make arrangements?" After saying that, she looked at Fu Mingyu again.
Fu Mingyu quickly smiled and said, "I wish I could have asked for it!" She also understood that Mrs. Dingguo had gone to great lengths to let her live with her elder sister-in-law. If her elder sister-in-law made any deviations, it would be easier for her to keep an eye on her.
"Mom, I think we can find some veterans from the farm who know how to be masons to repair this house." Xia Pingting thought for a moment and said. "We know those veterans well, so we don't want to hire outsiders like before.
Here comes a man who builds the plank road openly and spends time in Chen Cang secretly."
"Yes, you have to go to Zhuangzi tomorrow for this matter and choose someone reliable." Mrs. Dingguo thought it was reasonable. She looked at her second daughter-in-law with great appreciation, and then smiled and said, "You will learn from each other."
Zhi, our Princess Anhua is also careful now."
"Mom really loves to tease people," Xia Pingting said with a slight blush on her face.
"Mother, sisters-in-law, I have some thoughts and I don't know whether I should say it or not." Fu Mingyu hesitated and said.
"That's all you say, we are all one family, why do you want to do so much?" Mrs. Dingguo said.
"I always feel that the person behind this matter is very powerful." Fu Mingyu frowned. "If I don't talk about anything else, let's just talk about the second sister-in-law's body."
Everyone focused their attention on Xia Pingting. When Xia Pingting heard Fu Mingyu mentioning herself, she immediately became very energetic.
"According to Dr. Hong's diagnosis, the second sister-in-law was poisoned as early as ten years ago," Fu Mingyu said, "and the second sister-in-law was not married into the Dingguo Palace ten years ago."
"Ten years ago!" Mrs. Dingguo was startled, then looked at her daughter-in-law.
"I have been busy with a lot of things before, so I haven't had time to tell my mother about this matter yet." Xia Pingting's face darkened slightly and her voice became suppressed.
Fu Mingyu told Dr. Hong's diagnosis to Mrs. Dingguo, and Mrs. Dingguo frowned tightly.
When Fu Mingyu finished speaking, the room fell into a long silence.
"Ten years ago you were only fourteen years old." Mrs. Dingguo was obviously deep in thought. After a long time, she slowly said, "It was your father who asked for your title, and then he fell in love with our second son.
, please ask Your Majesty to marry you to the second son of our family."
"Mom still remembers it." Xia Pingting's expression softened when she mentioned this, remembering that it was ten years ago when she met her husband. It was during a hunting trip, and she was so sultry when she learned how to ride a horse.
She was coaxed into competing with others, but she got lost and fell off her horse again. However, the second master of the Qin family who was passing by during the hunt rescued her.
Because of this, King Jing'an also took a fancy to the second eldest son of the Qin family, so he discussed it with Duke Dingguo's wife and they all formed a family.
"Why don't you remember?" Mrs. Dingguo patted Xia Pingting's hand and said, "You will marry into our Qin family three years later. You have worked hard and uncomplaining all these years. Thank you for your hard work!"
Seeing that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking a little too far, Fu Mingyu coughed quickly and said, "Mom, second sister-in-law, you have been poisoned ten years ago. I think it happened after the second sister-in-law and the second brother got engaged. Otherwise, the second sister-in-law was poisoned ten years ago. Otherwise, the second sister-in-law and the second brother were engaged."
Why wasn’t my sister-in-law poisoned before?”
Only then did the two of them come back to their senses. Both of their expressions were stunned. Yes! She was fourteen years old at the time. Why wasn't she poisoned before she got engaged? She was poisoned just the year she got engaged!
