When Qingshu finished taking a bath and eating, Wu Zhengxiao's personal length came over with Dapeng.

After listening to his return, Qing Shu frowned and said, "Those two maids said that Xiao Yuan's family has not been in contact with Chu Yun alone?" ”

Dapeng nodded and said, "Yes, those two maids said that Xiao Yuan's family had not been in contact with Chu Yun alone. However, from May last year to last month, Xiao Yuan went out five times, and he didn't bring them with him on those five times. ”

In addition, they also confessed that in March last year, Shangshu Mansion held a flower-viewing banquet, and Xiao Yuan's family also went. When she went, she was fine, but when she went back, her face was gloomy and terrible, and the two maids had always been afraid of her and didn't dare to ask more. ”

Qingshu was a little puzzled: "Afraid of her?" ”

Dapeng nodded and said: ", this little Yuan has a very bad temper, and he scolds the maids lightly and beats them heavily. Although the two personal maids have not been beaten, they will be scolded by her for the slightest mistake, so the two maids don't dare to ask more about anything. ”

Don't blame Xiao Yu for saying that this little Yuan is stupid and useless, and the personal maids around you are not good enough to be loyal to you. It is estimated that it depends on Mrs. Wu's face, otherwise Duan Yan would have reconciled with her a long time ago.

However, Duan Yan's favored concubine will also suffer retribution for killing his wife, and the Wu family will definitely not let him go. He, as an official, has also come to an end.

Qingshu thought for a while and said: "It is impossible for Xiao Yuan to go out alone, and he will definitely let the coachman send it, but have you asked the coachman where she has gone five times?" ”

Dapeng nodded and said, "Yes." According to the explanation of the Duan family's coachman, the three places that Xiao Yuan's five times went to were Qinxiang Garden, silk shop, and jewelry shop. However, the coachman said that although Xiao Yuan would stay in the shop for a long time, he had never seen the Gao family's carriage. ”

"I also checked yesterday, and the second grandmother of the Gao family went to the banquet three times in those five days, and two times she didn't go out in the house."

So Wu Zhengxiao felt that Qingshu's judgment might be wrong, but he didn't say it bluntly, he just asked Dapeng to tell Qingshu everything he found.

Qingshu shook his head and said, "You have worked hard in the past two days, go down and have a cup of tea!" ”

Dapeng bowed and withdrew.

Qing Shu thought about it for a while, and called the eighth and twelfth to come over. After Fu Jingene came back, he asked Twelve to live in the mansion.

told the two of them about this in detail, and after speaking, he said, "You go to check whether Chu Yun has appeared in these places in Qinxiangyuan in those five days." ”

"Yes, ma'am."

When the sun went down, the old eight and the twelve returned. Lao Ba told Qingshu the news he had found: "Madam, when Xiao Yuan's family goes to Qinxiangyuan and silk shops, they will pass by a teahouse. We went to ask the coachman of the Duan family, and he said that Xiao Yuan did go in to drink tea five times when he went out alone, but each time he came out in about half an hour. ”

"The five times Xiao Yuan went to the teahouse, the Chu family appeared three times, and her personal maid Shuanghua appeared twice. The five times they met in the private room, so Xiao Er had an impression. ”

Avoid everyone meeting in the box of the teahouse, it is not normal to hear it, so what Xiao Yuan did is definitely inseparable from the second grandmother of the Gao family.

Qingshu nodded and said, "I know, you guys go down!"

Her speculation was indeed not wrong, the real mastermind behind this matter was Chu Yun, and this woman was still as vicious as in her previous life.

"Mother, mother......"

Qing Shu, who was deep in thought, was awakened by Fu Ge'er's cry.

At this time, Chun Tao walked in quickly and said, "Madam, someone from the Fu Mansion just now said that Mr. is back." ”

Qingshu was very happy, she was very worried about Fu Ran's departure these days.

Chun Tao also liked Fu Ran very much, and said with a smile: "Madam, Mr. brought Mrs. Fu here, and his eldest nephew's family also came." ”

Qingshu knew something was wrong when he heard it. You must know that people are generally reluctant to leave their hometowns when they are old, and Mrs. Fu is in her seventies and still brings her eldest grandson to Beijing, it must be something big that happened to the Fu family.

"I know, you told the visitor that I was going to visit the old lady tomorrow."

Now that it is getting late, Qingshu is reluctant to walk at night.

On this day, Fu Jingene only came back when it was getting dark, and as soon as he returned, he asked, "Is there any useful news today?" ”

Qing Shu said everything he knew: "I am now sure that the mastermind behind this matter is Chu Yun." It's just that Xiao Yuan is dead, and there is no one to testify against her. ”

Fu Jingene said: "Didn't Lao Jiu say that two of them were her personal maid who went to see Xiao Yuan, and tied up the maid. ”

Qing Shu shook his head and said, "It's useless, Chu Yun dares to hand over this kind of thing to her, which proves that she believes that this woman will not betray her." “

"If you haven't tried it, how do you know it's useless?"

As soon as Qing Shu heard it, he knew that he had made up his mind and would not change it, so he had to ask, "Then how do you want to tie up that maid?" ”

"There's always a way to figure it out."

What Fu Jingene didn't expect was that this maid had no father, no mother, no brothers and sisters, she was a complete orphan, and she didn't want to marry so she served Chu Yun wholeheartedly.

Qing Shu said: "Chu Yun must have firmly controlled this shuanghua's maid, and it is impossible to open the gap through her. ”

Fu Jingene smiled and said, "It's okay, then let's wait a few more days." ”

Seeing Qingshu looking at him, Fu Jingene said: "Once Gao Buyong's crime is implemented, all the people in the Gao family will be imprisoned." Even if this person named Shuanghua doesn't confess, the evil things done by the Chu family can be found out. ”

No matter how powerful Chu Yun is, she needs helpers to do things, and those servants who were afraid of her identity before would be tight-lipped about what she did. But when they went into prison, they were allowed to pour out all that they knew like beans.

Qingshu nodded and said, "It doesn't matter how late it is, as long as you can bring her to justice." ”

Fu Jingene nodded and said, "Don't worry, when she goes to prison, she won't want to come out in this life." ”

Qingshu hummed and told him that Fu Ran was back.

Fu Jingene was very happy to hear the news: "So old lady Fu is in good health?" ”

Qingshu nodded and said, "Old Lady Fu has already come to Beijing with the teacher, and he also brought his eldest grandson's family with him." ”

"It seems that Old Lady Fu is seriously ill this time, not because of her age."

There is no need to guess that his unsuccessful son must have done something to make Mrs. Fu angry, so the child is here to collect debts if he is not taught well. Well, in order to enjoy his old age with Qingshu, he also has to teach Brother Fu well.

Qingshu asked, "Didn't you send Lao Jiu to Pingzhou?" Why is it that the teacher is back and he is still nowhere to be seen? ”

Fu Jingene said with a smile: "He went to Fuzhou. ”

"Then he didn't write to tell you about Pingzhou?"

Fu Jingene shook his head and said: "I don't know, maybe it's just that the letter was lost, maybe Lao Jiu thinks it's just some trivial things and doesn't need to write back a letter." ”

Qingshu was speechless, and there was no one to explain it.

Fu Jingene said with a smile: "I want to know what's going on, if I see Mr. tomorrow, I'll know." Okay, I'm hungry, let's eat together!
