Lan Qi nodded, "Adultery and adultery are not tolerated by the world, but if the other person is the father of your child...at least when the second master knows the truth, he won't feel disgusted with his mother, right?"
The old lady sneered and said: "Humph, she and my son have never been married. They are a family of three, so they are innocent!" The old lady looked gloomy, "Could it be that she had a dark knot in her pregnancy back then, and I happened to let her After someone asked her to stay with Jingzhi, she became interested in seeking a title in the palace?"
"Who knows... a person like the princess, who thinks about everything very clearly, can actually allow herself to become pregnant out of wedlock. Could it be because the man has a special status and cannot give her and the child a legitimate identity? She promised the old lady , not only can I settle down in the palace, but also it is convenient to secretly communicate with the man in the name of the widow."
The old lady pondered deeply, her face gloomy.
Lan Qi sighed, "The matter has not been clearly investigated yet. Maybe we are overthinking it. Madam, please wait for the news."
"At this point, it's too much to think about. She and her servants in the house are obviously evil! Also, Zi Lian has been by her side for many years, and he is actually a dead soldier! She said she didn't know , but Zi Yan has been serving her all these years, how can she explain clearly even if she doesn’t know anything? And that person who pretends to be true! She also recruited him into the house, and every one of these things has to be doubted! "
Lan Qi hissed, "Speaking of Ziqi, Miss Lin is still living in our house. She is a serious member of the Lin family. Have you heard of some of the princess's old stories in the Lin family? Although the princess is still living in our house. She only stayed in the Lin family for four or five years, but in the past few years, she often interacts with people and what she does on weekdays. If you inquire carefully, you may be able to find some clues. "
The old lady had almost forgotten about Lin Mi. When Lan Qi mentioned her, she couldn't help but ask, "I haven't seen her recently. What does she do every day?"
"Miss Lin has rarely left her yard since the last time the old lady celebrated her birthday. Although it has been confirmed that the insect eggs in the cloak are not her fault, she seems to have a long memory and has been staying in her yard honestly. Here, I don’t want to get involved in things in the house easily. I just said that I would think about my mistakes in the yard."
The old lady's brows turned cold, "I'm afraid she also thought that Zi Yan was taking orders from the Lin family and used insect eggs to harm me to blame Brother Zhen's daughter-in-law, so she couldn't get out of her shell to avoid being taken advantage of again."
Lan Qi heard this and said, "Miss Lin is a person who knows how to advance and retreat. How about the old lady asking her to come over and talk?"
"Yeah, that's fine."
*****
In Huiyue Residence, Zhenbei Princess Lin was sitting by the window with deep eyes, having been thinking about it for a long time.
The heavy curtains in the house are made of fine silk yarn, and the ornaments on the Duobao Pavilion are all priceless. Looking at these things on weekdays, I just feel endlessly prosperous, but now it seems that they are so complicated that they are even more overwhelming. Feeling depressed.
The girls stood aside with their heads bowed, breathing softly.
It wasn't until Sun's mother came in and said that Lin Mi was called to Jingyuntang by the old lady that everyone reacted.
Nan Zhu's expression changed slightly. Could it be that the old lady was still doubting about the cloak and Zi Lian's identity, so she called Lin Mi over to ask?
She looked at Mrs. Lin and called softly: "Princess?"
Ms. Lin frowned and said, "Nan Zhuzijiang stays, the others can go down first."
Everyone should be.
Han Su followed Mother Sun out and pulled her aside, "Mother Sun, what should we do? This is the first time that the old lady has been so angry. She has not said that she will let the princess go out. Don’t you really believe that there is… some kind of adulterer?”
Mother Sun only thought that she and Han Su were close people to the princess, and did not shy away from her. She said: "The gatekeepers outside are people from the old lady's yard. Although people from Huiyue Ju are not allowed to go out, please ask a few questions. The words are not embarrassing. I heard that the old lady has sent people to Kudu Nunnery. Those wild lilies are really a scourge! But this matter cannot be false. If the old lady gets the right word, it should dispel some suspicions. All that's left is to find out the origin of the casing..."
At the mention of casings, Han Su's heart tightened for a while, and she forced herself to calm down and said: "Only a few people can enter the princess's house. We checked it last night and we don't have any suspicions. How else can we check it? "
"Everyone in our yard is of the same mind as the princess, and she talks to herself. The old lady doesn't believe it. If she uses the guard Xue to investigate Xian Ning's affairs, she must also investigate the origin of this casing. You have nothing to do at the moment. It's okay, why not go find Guard Xue and see how the investigation goes."
Mother Sun asked her to look at Xue Ping.
Han Su nodded, turned around and went down to the guest room, where Xue Ping was asking questions.
At this moment, Zijiang and Nanzhu came out of the house.
Zijiang turned around and walked straight away. Nanzhu stopped and said, "Mother Sun, I have other things to do at the moment. You should go to the princess and take orders first."
Mother Sun quickly agreed and entered the house.
Mrs. Lin was still sitting in front of the window, wondering what she was thinking.
Mother Sun made a cup of honey water and brought it to her, "Princess, take a few sips of something sweet and you will feel better."
Lin took it and took a sip.
Seeing her drinking, Mother Sun persuaded: "The old lady won't let the princess go out. The princess can also ask someone to send a message to the old lady. Such delay will not do the princess any good. Everyone in the house is watching. It's been a long time. , It loses the prestige of the princess."
"It's useless to say anything if we can't find out the matter clearly."
"Even so, wouldn't it be inappropriate for the princess to let Xue Ping go and investigate?"
Mrs. Lin shook her head when she heard this, "If I interfere, someone might think that I'm obstructing it. I simply don't care about anything and let Xue Ping investigate. If he has anything to ask, you can answer truthfully, he You can't find out something that doesn't exist. You can go down first and I'll stay by myself for a while."
Mother Sun thought she was in a bad mood, so after hearing this, she stopped trying to persuade her and retreated. When I went out, I met Han Su coming over, "Hey, you weren't following Guard Xue, why are you back now?"
There was a little panic on Han Su's face, "Mother Sun, just now someone came up from the village in the north to report that the tenants had drunk some wine and got into trouble and hurt someone. The concierge reported outside the princess's yard, and the person guarding outside said The princess is unable to handle the matter for the time being, so she went to report it to the old lady."
"Zhuangzi in the north?" Sun's mother asked worriedly: "Why are bad things happening one after another during this period!"
"It's better to report it to the princess. After all, it hurts someone. The princess usually takes care of these Zhuangzi matters. You can't know anything about it."
Sun's mother nodded when she heard this and said, "I will report it to the princess right away."
"Well, Mother Sun, go quickly. Guard Xue is still waiting for me over there."
Mother Sun nodded in agreement and turned back to report to Mrs. Lin.
Han Su looked at Mother Sun's back, her expression slowly calming down, "Mother Sun, you killed my sister for the princess, and now it's retaliation."
