"So he still has a problem?" Mo Hua was a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, the characteristics were indeed consistent. The window was narrow, and wasn't the boy just short in stature as well? If it were him, it would be impossible to get through the window.
It's impossible. Besides, the lady said that there were skin flakes in the fingernails of the old lady's body, which means that the old lady most likely scratched the person. As a result, the person was burned by such a coincidence.
Jiang Wu did not deny it, just said: "He has been working in the kitchen for more than a day or two. No matter how stupid he is, he still knows to avoid it when carrying water. But if the wound just now is more serious, he will
I haven’t been able to use my arms for ten days and a half, so scars are inevitable.”
Mo Hua quickly reacted: "The man next to him just now said that he had been burned several times a year, but the other times did not leave any serious scars."
Jiang Wu nodded - this is unreasonable.
"Also, check to see if this person has had contact with the old lady before. If not... check if he knew anyone in this mansion when he was in his previous hometown."
Generally speaking, if this person risks losing his arm, there are only two possibilities. The first is that he is the murderer and he killed the person. He covered the scratches on his arm just to cover up his murderous act.
; Second, he wanted to take the blame or cover up.
This young man is young, he looks to be in his twenties, so he is most likely to take the blame for love.
Being in your twenties is a wonderful age. When I was in the police station, the most common cases I came across were mostly beautiful women killing for love, and young men who wanted to take the blame for others, mostly for love.
…
Bai Guo and the other three quickly came back with inquiries, but the results came out that surprised Jiang Wu.
"Miss, I heard from a fellow countryman that his wife has worked in this house for more than ten years. I heard that more than ten years ago, the old lady did treat a maid harshly, but in fact she was not a maid.
It’s Aunt Fang from the mansion.”
"Fang... Aunt Fang?" Why does this name seem familiar?
Bai Guo said, "Aunt Fang is the aunt who was expelled from the mansion because something happened to the original wife. No one in the mansion dares to mention her anymore. It is precisely because of Aunt Fang that you and the second lady were replaced in the first place."
."
Oh yes, it turns out there is this layer of story.
Bai Guo continued: "Actually, Aunt Fang was originally the slave of the original wife. Later, the wife fell ill and her health became worse and worse, so Aunt Fang was promoted to aunt. That was in that year, because of some trivial matters, Aunt Fang became an aunt.
This angered the old lady, and she said she wanted to use Aunt Fang to fill the well, but it was the lady who was pregnant at the time who stopped her."
"How much do you know about Aunt Fang's affairs in the house?"
As soon as these words came out, several maids showed embarrassment, but the Zhishu, who knew more about Granny Jia, said at this time: "That Aunt Fang was originally Madam's maid, but because of her good looks, Madam took the initiative to recommend her to her.
Mr. Hou became an aunt, and she seemed to have the best relationship with Aunt Duan when she was in the house."
"Aunt Duan?" Jiang Wu was confused for a moment when she heard the name mentioned. After all, she hardly knew Aunt Duan. She still remembered that on the first day back home, she actually noticed Aunt Duan. She looked tall.
She was indeed very good-looking, but then she gradually forgot about this person - because her character was too silent.
In the past few months, she had never seen Aunt Duan talk to her every time she had dinner on the first or fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. The yard she lived in was also very remote. She was alone with her sick brother Guan, so it was difficult to see her go out.
Anyway, Jiang Wu rarely saw her.
…
The place where Aunt Duan lives is called Jiangjiayuan. Although the name is good, the location is actually very remote. It is located in the southeast corner of the mansion. As soon as Jiang Wu entered the door, he felt a sense of moisture.
Jiangjiayuan is not a big place, but it is kept clean. The servants in the yard are a little lazy, and when she comes, they feel like a mouse meets a cat.
After being informed by the servants, Jiang Wu finally saw Aunt Duan in the yard - the four words "weak Liu Fufeng" are the most suitable to describe her. Her skin was very white, her eyes were slender and upturned, and she had a cherry-like shape.
Her little lips are well-dressed. After all, she is in the Marquis Mansion, so there is no mistress who treats her harshly. And to be serious, she and Aunt Chen are evenly matched, and neither one is favored much, so no one dares to deduct the quota or anything like that.
.
"Hello, Miss." Aunt Duan saluted Shiran.
Jiang Wu said calmly: "No courtesy, I came today mainly because I wanted to ask... about Aunt Fang."
Aunt Duan nodded without much expression on her face. She said calmly: "Miss, please sit down first. I'll ask someone to come over for tea."
After the two sat down, a rather smart-looking maid served tea to them. The tea was naturally not as good as the one she had in Fuqu Pavilion, but it was pretty good. After Jiang Wu took a sip of tea, he asked: "
I'm here today. You must know the reason. I've never met my mother, but I heard that there used to be Aunt Fang in this house. She was my mother's maid at the beginning, and Aunt Fang had a good relationship with you, so I wanted to come.
Let me ask you."
Aunt Duan's face was still calm, and she said: "I was indeed a good friend with her. Aunt Fang has a soft temper and can get along with anyone. Isn't it natural for me to become good friends with her? Then something happened to her.
, and I never contacted her again.”
Jiang Wu had already guessed that she would say this. The reason why she didn't directly ask her if she and the old lady had any holidays was just to lower her guard.
Jiang Wu said: "Do you know that Aunt Fang was harshly scolded by the old lady and even threatened to sink a well?"
When she said this, Aunt Duan touched her nose and said with a smile on her face: "I know this, but I don't remember it very clearly now. At that time, Aunt Fang was recognized as a slave by the old lady.
The old lady asked her to serve tea, but she refused, so the old lady said something to her, and the two of them had a little quarrel, it was nothing serious."
"Really? But if it was just a squabble, how could it be spread for more than ten years?" Jiang Wu could see at a glance that this was simply avoiding the important and trivial. If it was just a squabble, it would be impossible for it to be spread for more than ten years. At least this happened.
There was a physical conflict. Although the old lady was indeed relying on her elders and being arrogant and domineering, it was unlikely that she would really sink someone into a well because of such a trivial matter.
There must be something hidden in this.
However, at this moment, Jiang Wu suddenly discovered that there was a faint scratch mark on Aunt Duan's neck.
She paused and asked casually: "Auntie, what's this on your neck? I'm afraid you need some medicine."
Aunt Duan subconsciously covered her neck and said, "I was just scratched by Brother Guan."
