When asked about the wound, Xiaocui became visibly panicked and turned around frequently to look at Mrs. Han who was sitting in the inner room and sobbing softly.
Zhou Yu'an understood instantly and asked deliberately: "What do you think Mrs. Han is doing? Isn't this injury caused by Mrs. Han's beating?"
Xiaocui's face turned pale, she pursed her lips and said nothing.
"Have you ever heard of spiritualism?" Zhou Yu'an squatted in front of Xiao Cui, "I have learned some from my master, specializing in recruiting evil ghosts, ghosts who died unjustly. I think your lady died unjustly, and the murderer is missing. Otherwise, You discuss this with your wife and summon the lady’s ghost for questioning.”
"What are you asking?" Xiaocui raised his head and looked at Zhou Yu'an.
"Of course we have to ask the murderer. Only after we have asked him clearly can Master Shen capture him." Seeing Xiaocui breathe a sigh of relief, Zhou Yu'an added: "By the way, what happened to her wound? In addition to the murderer, there are also Who beat her? Is it Mr. Liao who beat her?"
Xiao Cui shook her head and saw Zhou Yu'an looking at her and hurriedly fell to the ground.
Zhou Yu'an patted her shoulder and said loudly: "Mrs. Han and your love had a dispute, right? Over the matter of breaking off the engagement."
In the inner room, Mrs. Han's sobbing stopped.
"Han Xiang is Madam's only daughter, so Madam must have loved her very much. She died miserably in the Chenghuang Temple before leaving the palace, and as a rule she was sent to Yizhuang. I asked Li Zheng on the way if there was anyone in Liulin Town. Yizhuang is not far from the City God's Temple. My wife chose to be far away and set up the mourning hall in the boudoir where she was alive. It can be seen that my wife regarded her as the flesh of her heart and had no taboos in her heart."
"Xiang'er is my daughter, how could I be willing to send her to Yizhuang?"
"Madam loves Han Xiang, why did she hurt him?" Zhou Yu'an looked around the room: "Most of the boudoirs in the daughter's house are similar. Madam loves her daughter, and the things in the room are also in pairs. Only this mandarin duck One vase is missing, and the missing one is still a female mandarin duck. The mandarin duck vase is red and does not match the elegant boudoir. It should be the dowry purchased by the madam and temporarily placed in the boudoir. I dare to ask madam, Where did the female go?"
"The servant accidentally dropped it when cleaning the room. It's just a vase. It doesn't matter."
"It fell, but it didn't fall when the servants were cleaning the room." Zhou Yu'an raised his eyebrows and picked up a fragment from the corner next to the coffin: "Maybe Miss Han refused to close her eyes and let me see this fragment."
Mrs. Han's expression changed, but she still kept her body straight and said, "Is this the room that the servant cleaned? Not even such a big piece of debris was found."
"This servant deserves to be punished." Zhou Yu'an turned over the fragment and found some blood stains inside the fragment.
Before Mrs. Han could speak, Zhou Yuan took off Han Xiang's shoes and socks. There was a wound on Han Xiang's right foot. The wound matched the porcelain piece in Zhou Yu'an's hand. The wound was slightly ulcerated. It should be because he did not apply any medicine for the wound before he was alive.
"Mrs. Han loves her daughter, there is no doubt about it, but under what circumstances would a mother who loves her daughter ignore her daughter's injury and not even apply medicine?" Zhou Yu'an placed the porcelain piece next to Han Xiang: "Two kinds of The first situation is that the mother will not take care of her daughter in anger. The second situation is that the mother does not know that her daughter is injured, or thinks that the injury is not serious and there is no need to apply medicine."
"I didn't know Xiang'er hurt her foot. She's so afraid of pain. She must be blaming me in her heart." Mrs. Han beat her heart: "It's all his fault. If it weren't for him, how could Xiang'er have a dispute with me? If it wasn't for him, Because of him, I won't send Xiang'er to... It's all his fault, he killed my Xiang'er, and I want him to pay for my Xiang'er's life."
"Mrs. Han, until now, do you still think this is Mr. Liao's fault?"
Zhou Yu'an turned around, put on Han Xiang's shoes and socks, and asked Xiao Cui to bring a needle and thread to help her sew up her head carefully. When the needle and thread passed through Han Xiang's punctured skin, Mrs. Han finally collapsed.
Shopkeeper Han came out of the inner room, hugged Mrs. Han and sighed repeatedly, blaming himself: "It's my fault, I don't blame Mrs. Han!"
The war in Shuozhou and the epidemic in Suizhou, although Liulin Town was not affected, was still in a state of shock. The Liao family was closely connected with the government, and seeing the benefits, they falsely accused Shopkeeper Han of being related to the Beidi people. Shopkeeper Han was arrested and imprisoned, where he was tortured and had a broken leg.
There is no simple-minded person in business. After being released from prison, shopkeeper Han made some inquiries and found out that the matter was related to the Liao family. In addition, the Liao family robbed him of most of his business, so he became jealous and fell in love with the Liao family.
Knowing that his daughter and Liao Wenbin were in love, he still canceled the marriage with the Liao family. Knowing that his daughter was unwilling to marry anyone else, he still took it upon himself to arrange another marriage for Han Xiang. Although the other party was just a headhunter, he was the real deal. As a member of the government, Shopkeeper Han wants to have a relationship with the government, and then use this relationship to bring down the Liao family. It would be best to put Shopkeeper Liao in jail.
Poor Han Xiang and Liao Wenbin became victims of the competing interests of the two families for no reason.
Since the Han and Liao families broke off their engagement, Mrs. Han locked Han Xiang in her room. The innocent Han Xiang thought that as long as some time passed, her parents would calm down and her marriage to Liao Wenbin could be renegotiated. When she learned that her parents had married her to someone else, she and her mother broke out in a fierce quarrel.
There was a quarrel, and Mrs. Han pushed Han Xiang. Han Xiang hit the wall and fell into a coma.
Mrs. Han thought Han Xiang was dead and saw the letter written by Han Xiang, thinking that she was going to abandon her parents and elope with Liao Wenbin. Furious and extremely disappointed, she made the choice she regretted most in her life.
She asked Xiaocui to deliver the letter written by Han Xiang to the Liao family, and then carried Han Xiang, who was in a coma, downstairs, put him on a carriage through the back door, and drove him through the alley in the town to the City God's Temple.
Knowing that Han Xiang loved to be clean, Mrs. Han specially spread straw under her body and placed her on the leeward side of the City God's Temple. After all the calculations, she failed to calculate that her daughter was still alive and woke up in the City God's Temple.
"If Han Xiang had not met the murderer, she could have gone home on her own. If Xiaocui had given the letter to Laifu or Mr. Liao himself, she would not have been killed. It happened that Xiaocui met the murderer by mistake. The murderer thought he was a servant of the Liao family. Not only did she give the letter and jade pendant to the murderer, she also told him what happened to Han Xiang at the Chenghuang Temple." Zhou Yu'an walked to Mrs. Han: "Madam didn't expect this to happen either. Result?"
Mrs. Han burst into tears and fainted while crying.
Liao Wenbin glanced at Mrs. Han and said, "The murderer took the jade pendant to put the blame on me. From the moment he met Xiaocui, he had no intention of letting Han Xiang go, and he had planned to use Han Xiang's death to gain revenge." Talk about the Liao family, who is this person, why did he do this, and what grudge does he have against our Liao family?"
"Young Master Liao should ask your father about this question, or the steward who came to the Han family with you." Zhou Yu'an motioned to Liao Wenbin to look outside: "Xiao Cui said that when she went to the Han family to deliver a letter, the Han family's The back door is ajar. That person most likely sneaked into the Liao family, but if he has no relationship with the Liao family, how can he come and go freely in the Liao family? Mr. Liao's yard is not something ordinary people can enter and exit at will. Right? Even if the young master is locked up in the ancestral hall, where is the boy next to the young master?"
