When Mrs. Lin walked to Suochun Pavilion, Wei Shicheng had already entered the mansion. Princess Yuanheng had just changed out of her formal dress. When she saw him coming back, she asked, "Have you heard about Aunt Wen's death?"
"heard."
Wei Shicheng's tone was light, and there was no hint of emotion or anger.
Princess Yuanheng kicked the girl out, helped Wei Shicheng change into his regular clothes, and said, "I heard that Mother Sun next to Aunt Song was caught, but I haven't had time to inquire about the matter in detail, so I can't jump to conclusions, sir. Do you want to come with me now?"
Wei Shicheng said "Yeah" and said, "Let's go together."
When the couple arrived at Suochun Pavilion, except for Mrs. Wei who did not come, the third lady and other masters in the mansion rushed over.
When Li Qingyi saw Princess Yuanheng coming, he automatically stood behind her.
Princess Yuanheng asked a few questions in a low voice with concern, and Li Qingyi answered them one by one.
Lin's side had already asked Mother Sun to come over, and Song Qian was also present, her face full of anger.
However, Mrs. Lin was the main wife, and something happened to her aunt in the backyard of the second bedroom. She came to take care of it and there was nothing wrong with it.
Facing a group of people in the yard, Mrs. Lin calmly said, "Aunt Song insisted that she did not instruct Mother Sun, and I believe this. However, Mother Sun could not explain why she went to Suochun Pavilion and why she went to Suochun Pavilion. With much cinnabar."
The implication is that neither the master nor the servant has any evidence to prove their innocence.
Aunt Song gritted her teeth. The other party was clearly implying that she asked Mother Sun to kill people, but he still said that he believed her. She couldn't defend herself, so she could only say: "Princess, please be more careful and give Mother Sun justice."
Although Aunt Wen was a concubine, she was clearly murdered. Even if the Wen family didn't dare to do anything, she still had a son. For Brother Ran, this matter had to be investigated.
The servants brought chairs over, Wei Shicheng and Princess Yuanheng sat down, and Mother Sun was brought in front of them.
Princess Yuanheng is the matron of the family, so she naturally has to take charge of this matter. Wei Shicheng sat next to her and did not say anything, but listened quietly to everyone talking.
Princess Yuanheng had been with him for many years, so she naturally knew his position. If he didn't want to protect Song Qian, let alone the death of one aunt, even if ten aunts died, he would not interfere with this person's business.
He sits here and keeps everyone from messing around without speaking.
Princess Yuanheng looked at the people in the yard and asked Huilan first, "Did you discover what Mother Sun did in Suochun Pavilion?"
"You are a slave." Huilan stepped forward, knelt down and kowtowed to Princess Yuanheng: "Princess, please seek justice for our aunt!"
"Please tell me clearly from beginning to end."
Huilan did not hesitate and said: "Back to the princess, today after you and the second lady and the master left the house, the monthly routines were distributed in various places in the house. The second lady was away because of something to do today, so she handed over the matter of distributing the monthly routines. Aunt Song took care of it. Aunt Song said she wanted to bring blessings to the old lady, so she gave the servants an extra three months of regular money. Most of the masters in the house were away, and the maids and women were very happy, so they gathered in Qianyun Pavilion to talk. , delayed for a long time. The servant was afraid that there would be no one to serve her aunt, so she went back before she could collect the money. Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the door, she saw Mother Sun sitting at the door of the room, and the soup pot in the small kitchen had also been tampered with. .”
She spoke very objectively and did not mix her personal emotions, so everyone understood her clearly.
"I don't know what Mother Sun is doing there, and I have a bad feeling in my heart." Hui Lan couldn't help but choked up after saying this. "I rushed into the house and saw that my aunt was already...already..."
Princess Yuanheng asked in a deep voice, "Besides the fact that she was present at the time, are there any other doubts?"
Hui Lan burst into tears, "The servant was frightened by the appearance of my aunt, and the screams attracted other people. The servants of Suochun Pavilion also came back later. From the beginning to the end, Mother Sun was the only one who stayed in the house during that time. People in my aunt’s yard. Then, the matter was reported to the old lady. After the old lady and the third lady came over, they asked the doctor to come and check."
Princess Yuanheng frowned: "What did the doctor say?"
"The doctor said that my aunt was forced to drink a lot of cinnabar, but the cause was not the cinnabar, but that my aunt struggled too much.
It was so bad that she suffocated to death after inhaling a foreign object in her lungs. Mother Sun, who was lying on the ground in front of the door, had a lot of cinnabar scattered on the ground. "
After asking Huilan, Princess Yuanheng asked Mother Sun, "Mother Sun, do you have anything to argue with? It is said that you have a lot of cinnabar in your hand. Where did it come from and what is it used for?"
Mother Sun's forehead was covered in cold sweat. She could say that the cinnabar was used by Song Qian for painting, but she could not explain why she took so much cinnabar to Suochun Pavilion.
Wei Shiyuan, who came back late due to some delays, entered the courtyard angrily at this time.
He had already heard the news about Wen Yuniang's disappearance on the way, and when he saw Mama Sun, he kicked her hard!
Song Qian's face turned pale when he saw this, "Master..."
Wei Shiyuan glanced at her, his brows serious, and walked past her towards the coffin placed in the yard.
When he saw Aunt Wen's horrific death, he stumbled and fell to the ground.
Everyone rushed over to help him.
Wei Shiyuan was so stunned that he couldn't recover, "Yu Niang...what happened to her? Why did she die so miserably?"
Although Wen Yuniang had not been in the family for a long time, she had actually been with Wei Shiyuan for many years.
Wen Yuniang is different from ordinary women who stay at home. She followed her grandfather and father on business trips since she was a child. She was raised as a half-son. There is a sense of heroism in her actions. Although she lacks the softness of a woman, there is much in her actions that Wei Shiyuan appreciates. place. What's more, Wen Yuniang gave birth to a son for her!
"Second Master, please get up first!"
The mother-in-law grabbed her arm and tried her best to pull the stunned Wei Shiyuan up.
Wei Shiyuan turned around to see Mama Sun.
Just now he was still rational and wanted to give Song Qian face, but when he saw Wen Yuniang's miserable appearance, he couldn't help but couldn't help it, "Did you kill Yuniang?"
Mother Sun looked at him with trembling lips, "Old, old slave..."
Seeing his hesitant look, Wei Shiyuan knew there was something fishy about her, so he raised his foot and kicked Sun's mother in the face.
Sun's mother rolled out all the way, her nose was kicked and her face was covered with blood.
"master!"
Song Qian exclaimed and quickly went to help Sun's mother.
"The matter hasn't been investigated yet. How could I do this to Mother Sun?"
Wei Shiyuan said angrily: "Then you should let the old man explain clearly why he went to Yuniang with cinnabar!"
Song Qian was very angry, but couldn't say anything to defend herself. She could only look at Sun's mother.
"Mama Sun! What's going on? You..."
Huilan looked at Mother Sun bitterly, "I asked the concierge that no one in Aunt Song's courtyard has left the house in the past few days except for a girl named Qiu Chan."
Qiu Chan was lifted up and was glanced at by Princess Yuanheng's cold eyes. She softened and said, "Slave... This slave has been out of the house. She just went back to the Song family. Here, get it for our aunt." thing……"
"What did you take? Whose hands did it pass through? Is there anyone who can testify about it?"
Qiu Chan pursed her lips and turned pale.
Princess Yuanheng said coldly: "First hit me ten times. If you don't tell me, you will suffer a lot!"
The mother-in-law carried the spring stool over with neat movements, and pressed the autumn cicada down with a crackling sound.
Mother Sun gritted her teeth and looked at Qiu Chan, tightening her hands in her sleeves.
Princess Yuanheng narrowed her eyes and said, "Let someone go to the Song family and ask who this girl named Qiu Chan has met since she returned home, what she has done, and what she has taken. If she doesn't match up..."
"No need to ask! I said!" Sun's mother knelt straight.
Princess Yuanheng's expression softened, but Song Qian was stunned, "Mother Sun?"
Mother Sun said truthfully: "I tricked Qiu Chan into going back to Song's house to get cinnabar. I said that my aunt wanted to use cinnabar for painting and the cinnabar bought outside was not good, so I asked her to go back to Song's house to get it. I did. I wanted to add cinnabar to Aunt Wen's soup, but I didn't want to kill her. I just wanted to make her lose her mind and get rid of this serious problem for Aunt Wen."
Of course she
He wouldn't say it was to frame Mrs. Lin, but only told the matter in front of him.
Song Qian was completely stunned.
She was still distributing monthly reports in Qianyun Pavilion when she heard that Mama Sun went to Suochun Pavilion to kill Aunt Wen. She was so shocked that she almost fainted.
She had indeed said before that she wanted to use Aunt Wen to frame Mrs. Lin and speed up the process of Ms. Lin being divorced.
But why did Sun’s mother make her own decision without consulting her?
Wei Shiyuan was furious. He took a few steps forward and wanted to take action again, but Wei Shicheng stopped him.
His veins bulged with anger and he asked sternly: "Did you make the decision on your own, or was someone instigating you?"...
Song Qian's complexion changed drastically: "What do you mean, Master!"
Wei Shiyuan raised his head and looked at her, the anger in his eyes glaring.
Mother Sun never thought that things would turn out like this. She continued: "But Aunt Wen is not..."
She was only halfway through her words when Wei Shicheng spoke, "Second brother, Mother Sun has already admitted her crime, why are you still making trouble?"
Mother Sun was startled and choked back the second half of the sentence she was about to say.
Mr. Wei, what does this mean?
Don't let her speak again?
Should she just bear the responsibility for the murder, without involving more people?
What if she said it? Will it hurt their girls?
The girl married into the Wei family as a concubine. If she loses the heart of her husband's family because of this incident, can she still be able to right her?
Mother Sun gritted her teeth and remained silent.
Wei Shiyuan stared at Sun's mother. Seeing her silence, he said to Wei Shiyuan: "It's just a concubine, and you want to turn the house upside down for him? Don't you think it's embarrassing?"
Wei Shiyuan's breath was stagnant. His elder brother was warning him.
It's best for Sun's mother to admit it herself, but it would be troublesome if Song Qian was really involved.
He looked past Song Qian and towards Sun's mother, "Come here! Kill this old guy with a stick!"
Song Qian took a step forward and wanted to speak, but the girl next to her grabbed her tightly. Even Mama Sun, who was pressed on the spring stool, shook her head slightly at her.
In fact, this matter cannot be explained clearly.
Mother Sun is the person closest to Song Qian. She wants to harm Wen Yanniang. Who believes that she did not obey the instructions and acted on her own initiative?
Even if this thing is true, no one will believe it!
The only reason is that she is so smart that she thinks the other people in the Wei Mansion are too simple!
