When Chu Yunli and the two finished their breakfast, something happened to the Yuan family again.
When Zhang Huizhen died, the Yuan family sent someone to Gu's place to report the funeral.
Mrs. Gu didn't believe it at first, but when she saw her daughter's body, she was distraught and declared that her daughter would never seek death, and that someone must have killed her. Naturally, the Yuan family refused to admit it, and when asked the guards, they couldn't tell anything.
Mrs. Gu was so angry that she sent someone to the Yamen to file a complaint.
The Yuan family wanted to stop him, but unfortunately they couldn't. The son of the mother-in-law beside Gu just untied the horse from the carriage and went off to race.
Therefore, not long after Chu Yunli had eaten, an official from the Yuan family came to visit.
Something happened to the Yuan family, and Chu Yunli had to go back and take a look.
When she arrived, the officer had just been ushered in, along with Wu Zuo. Zhang Huizhen was different from the woman who was beaten to death yesterday. The one who had signed the deed of betrayal belonged to the Yuan family. And Zhang Huizhen was the daughter of the Zhang family.
Even if she doesn't admit it, she is still an ordinary person. As long as her death was in vain, if someone pursues the case, the Yamen will have to take over the case.
Yesterday, Zhang Huizhen's yard was a very remote yard. No one would come here at ordinary times. No one took care of it. The yard was overgrown with weeds and the house was dilapidated. At this time, she was placed on the ground, her eyes were closed, and her face was blue.
, a purple mark on the neck, very obvious.
Chu Yunli was about to take a closer look, but her eyes were covered by a pair of big hands, "Don't look, you will be scared if you look at it."
Chu Yunli pulled Qi Feng's hand away, "What does this mean? The one who was killed with a stick yesterday is still half covered with blood."
Qi Feng: "..." What should I do if my daughter-in-law is so courageous that she doesn't need comfort?
After getting married for a long time, he really found that his daughter-in-law did not need anyone's help, either physically or mentally. She could do anything, and she was not afraid at any time. After the initial relief, he felt distressed, not knowing that she had been there since she was a child.
You have to endure so many hardships to develop such courage.
Zuo Zuo was already doing the autopsy and stood up after a while. "It looked like suicide at first glance, but it was actually homicide." He picked up Zhang Huizhen's hand and said, "Generally, rich women have very well-maintained fingers and their nails are trimmed beautifully. But her nails are neatly trimmed."
She probably cut it off because she scratched something when she was struggling to death, and then the murderer had no choice but to cut it off in order to remove the flesh, blood or clothing contained in her nails. The nails were not well trimmed, it should be that the murderer was not good at trimming nails..."
"Let's look around here first to see if there are any nails of the deceased?"
This man is still Zhizhou's brother-in-law, so compared to other men, he can also instigate officials.
Seeing the government officials disperse, he looked at the grief-stricken Mrs. Gu, "Mrs. Zhang Gu, if you want to find the murderer of your daughter, we have to take her body to the government office."
Mrs. Gu gritted her teeth and said, "Take it!"
"Wait a minute!" Yuan Lizong looked not very good. If there is a murder case in a family like the Yuan family, no matter who the murderer is, even if it is just a servant, if the news spreads, it will only make people talk. It is not a good thing after all. They all talk about family ugliness.
Don't talk about it. If you can solve it yourself, you will never have to ask the Yamen. He looked at Gu and said, "Cousin, come here. I have something to ask you."
Mrs. Gu stared at him, stood up after a while, and walked not far away from the yard, "Say it!"
"Huizhen brought snacks here yesterday. I don't know who she wanted to poison, but she must have done it. And my mother hasn't woken up yet. The doctor said the poisoning was too deep and she would only have a few months to live at most...
What I want to say is, how could a little girl like Huizhen know these methods? If you insist on getting to the bottom of it, then the reason why the Yuan family sent the Tangtang young lady to the side courtyard will no longer be hidden, and she will be involved in it later.
You are already dead, but the living are still important..."
Chu Yunli was close enough to hear.
To put it simply, if the Gu family insists on pursuing the murderer, the Yuan family will also hold him accountable. By then, not only will the dead Zhang Huizhen have the reputation of poisoning his elders, but even the Gu family will not be able to escape.
The old lady who deliberately poisoned others and was also kind to their mother and daughter was poisoned. Whether it was human relations or legal reasons, the Gu family and her daughter would not be able to escape. By then, not only the dead Zhang Huizhen would be condemned, but also Gu
Gu will be imprisoned for at least more than ten years. If the Yuan family refuses to give up and find other charges, Gu will probably die.
Even if she doesn't die, with the Yuan family here, she will never get out of prison in this life.
Meeting Yuan Lizong's calm and indifferent eyes, Mrs. Gu shuddered. After her daughter's death, her mind, which had been in grief and chaos, finally came to her senses, lowered her head and said, "I listen to you!"
Yuan Lizong was quite satisfied. He smiled and sent away the widower and the cadre, "It's a matter of family secrets, and she didn't know the inside story just now. Now that I've told her, she already knows that her daughter died innocently, and she won't pursue it any further. Can you please make a trip?"
." He raised his hand, and the steward next to him handed over a box. He took it and handed it to the leader, "I'll treat this brother to a cup of tea. Thank you all for taking this trip."
The yamen officer didn't answer and looked at the man over there.
Wuzuo frowned and walked slowly to Mrs. Gu, "Madam, are you really not going to pursue the matter?"
Mrs. Gu squeezed her hands tightly by her side for a long time before letting out a sigh.
If Zhang Huizhen died violently outside, and the Yuan family and the Gu family did not pursue the case, the Yamen should also find the murderer. But if something happened at home, and she was a woman, it would be difficult for the Yamen to intervene if no one complained.
Just like the adulterous woman Shen Tang, a lieutenant in some clans with strict rules, it is difficult for the yamen to pursue her.
Wu Zuo was a little disappointed, but he still went back to pack his things and left with the box.
Before leaving, the official took the box.
As soon as they left, the courtyard, which had been a little crowded just now, suddenly became empty and the atmosphere relaxed.
After the officer left, Gu fell to the ground, tears streaming down her face, "It's okay if I don't pursue it, I want to know who killed Hui Xun!"
The courtyard was quiet. Yuan Lizong frowned and said, "I will help you ask."
Yuan Yibin turned around and wanted to leave.
Seeing this, Mrs. Gu yelled, "Yibin, is that you?"
Yuan Yibin did not answer, and left without even looking back.
Such an attitude toward his mother-in-law speaks volumes. Even if he wasn't the one who killed her, at least he was impatient and even bored with the Gu family and her daughter.
Mrs. Gu stared at the door of the courtyard, "Today I want to know how many people have come to the courtyard since Hui Xun entered the door yesterday. Cousin, I have nothing. If you don't help me, I will fight for my life."
I must seek justice for Huizhen!"
Yuan Lizong didn't look good, "Bring the guard's wife here and beat her until she's ready!"
Someone was beaten to death in Ronghe Garden yesterday, and the blood stains on the ground are still there. The mother-in-law was so frightened that her legs were weak, and she was dragged here. As soon as she arrived in front of Yuan Lizong, she kowtowed, "I know this, but I dare not tell you."
ah!"
Yuan Lizong closed his eyes.
Everyone was a little surprised, and the only one the servants dared not say anything about was the master.
Rong Piao felt happy and hurriedly lowered her head to hide the expression on her face.
The murderer of her daughter could be seen clearly with only a layer of window paper left. Gu's eyes were red and she was already going crazy. "If you don't tell me, I will have you beaten to death!"
The mother-in-law ignored her and pursed her lips.
If she had told her, she wouldn't have survived!
Gu looked at Yuan Lizong and said fiercely, "Cousin, are you sure you want to deal with me?"
It is said that those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. At this moment, Mrs. Gu is the one who is barefoot. The Yuan family has many concerns. Yuan Lizong waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."
The mother-in-law kowtowed and whispered, "From yesterday to now, apart from the mother-in-law delivering food, the only one who has come to this side courtyard is...only the eldest young master!" After the words fell, she lay flat on the ground, not daring to raise her head.
You know this is not a good job, if you don't do it right, you will lose your life!
Mrs. Gu was paralyzed on the ground, but she burst out laughing when she heard this. She ran over and lay on her daughter, crying loudly, "I told you he was not a good person, but you didn't believe it... you didn't believe it... you didn't believe it..."
Weeping blood every word!
The next step is the funeral. According to Yuan Yibin and Hu's wishes, Zhang Huizhen poisoned the old lady and they had divorced her. This funeral should not be left in the Yuan family and sent away.
Finally, the Gu family threatened to go to the Yamen to file a complaint if the Yuan family drove them away. The Yuan family had no choice but to arrange a funeral hall and plan to bury the young lady of the Yuan family.
She really responded to what Zhang Huizhen shouted, even if she dies, she will still be the ghost of the Yuan family!
However, the Yuan family didn't have much trouble. First of all, Zhang Huizhen was a junior, and although she was a young lady, she didn't know other wives in the past month, so most of the people who came to express their condolences were the stewards of each family just going through the motions.
Mrs. Gu stayed at the mourning hall and stayed awake for several days. As soon as her daughter was buried, she fell ill.
Except when Chu Yunli went back on the day of the accident, she went back again when Zhang Huizhen was buried, and she didn't usually stay there.
Zhang Huizhen, relying on the old lady's love, bullied Liu Yuehe openly and secretly. Her death was a pity, but she was not sad.
Yuan Yibin is a man, and it seems that any woman who marries him will not end well.
Gu fell ill and had to stay at Yuan's house to remain ill. Zhang Huizhen was buried there, and the old lady finally woke up.
When Chu Yunli went to visit the old lady, Mrs. Gu was kneeling in front of her bed to repent, crying with regret on her face, "Aunt, I'm so miserable!"
She went to hold the old lady's hand, but the old lady raised her hand to avoid it, looked away, and said weakly, "Get out of here!"
Gu was dragged away, but she still shouted unwillingly, "Aunt, I don't want to harm you... you believe me..."
