Nan Zhu looked at the old lady's face and said carefully: "The princess was resting in the room, and the servants left. Mother Sun said she had chest pain and wanted to go back to the room to take a nap. Just now the old lady came, and everyone gathered over, but there was no Seeing the shadow of Mother Sun, I went to the room to look for her, only to find...she was already dead!"
The third wife, Mrs. Yuan, whispered, and the old lady also looked ugly.
Li Qingyi held the old lady's arm and asked: "How did you die?"
Nan Zhu heard Li Qingyi's question and felt that she had no good intentions, so she reluctantly replied: "Mother Sun was vomiting blood and sitting on the ground with her back against the bedpost. She was still warm and her body was not stiff. She must have died not long ago. "
The old lady glanced at Mrs. Lin and said with a sullen face, "Go and have a look."
When everyone arrived at Mama Sun's room, they saw that Mama Sun was dead. Xue Ping stepped forward to check and said, "Mother Sun's chest was slightly sunken and her mouth and nose were bleeding. Her ribs were broken and penetrated her internal organs, causing her death."
Mrs. Lin frowned when she heard this and looked at her son.
Gongsun Yi looked surprised and hurriedly stepped forward to check. Sure enough, as Xue Ping said, Mama Sun's ribs were broken and pierced into the heart.
Li Qingyi glanced at the dead mother Sun, and his eyes passed over Han Su's face.
Han Su reacted immediately and said: "Mother Sun has been complaining about chest pain all day today. She reaches out and rubs it from time to time. I don't know what's going on..."
There was no publicity about Gongsun Yi's visit last night, so the servants didn't know that Sun's mother was kicked by Gongsun Yi last night. Therefore, Han Su deliberately said this, and several girls followed her.
The old lady noticed something was wrong and asked suspiciously, "What's going on?"
Gongsun Yi stood up from Mama Sun's body and pursed his lips, "I wanted to enter Huiyue Residence last night, but Mama Sun blocked me. I was angry and kicked her in the chest, but with the force of that kick, I could never Might have left her dead.”
He wanted to explain that his kick would not be the cause of Mother Sun's death, but the old lady heard something else from his words, "Mama Sun blocked you from entering Huiyue Residence, and you kicked her in anger, haha... You’re not kicking her, you’re kicking me!!”
No one could fail to hear the rage in the old lady's voice.
Indeed, it was not Mama Sun who prevented people from entering Huiyue Residence, but the old lady. Knowing this, Gongsun Yi not only went against the wishes of the old lady, but also kicked Mama Sun who blocked her.
Although this anger was directed at Mama Sun, it was actually dissatisfaction with the old lady.
"Grandma, I never meant this!"
"You've done it, it doesn't matter whether you meant it or not."
Gongsun Yi's breath was stagnant.
The old lady's eyes were full of disappointment, and underneath the disappointment there were also indescribable complex emotions. She moved her eyes away from Gongsun Yi and said with a cold face: "Mother Sun was kicked in the chest last night, but she didn't immediately She had an attack and was able to move freely all day today, which means that her injuries were not fatal. Could it be that she accidentally fell when she returned to the room and broke her already injured ribs? "
She insisted on the word "accidentally", clearly saying that someone deliberately created this "accidentally" in order to take the opportunity to kill Mama Sun!
Lin's face froze.
Gongsun Yi also changed his expression. He kicked Mama Sun angrily last night. The kick was indeed a bit hard for Mama Sun, but at most it only caused a slight crack in the ribs. It will heal after a period of cultivation and it will never break easily. Now she was stabbed into the heart by a broken rib. Someone must have deliberately committed the murder and secretly added another blow to Mama Sun.
Even the old lady saw the clues, and everyone else must also understand.
The most important thing is that the death of Sun's mother is more like a deliberate collaboration between mother and son.
You hit me, I hit you, and the person died. It looked like an accident, but it was actually a deliberate murder.
The third wife, Yuanshi, and the second wife, Mrs. Hong, originally didn’t know what happened last night, but now they were catching thieves, lying and silencing them. They vaguely guessed that it was evidence that Princess Lin was caught having an affair by the old lady. .
The two looked at each other in shock, as if they had discovered some secret.
At this time, Feng He hurried into Huiyue Residence and reported to the old lady: "Old lady, Meng Da has returned from Zhuangzi."
Apparently when the old lady saw that Steward Qi was still not coming back, she also sent someone else to check on Zhuangzi.
"How's it going?"
Feng He glanced at the old lady and said hesitantly: "Meng Da said that everything was fine at Zhuangzi. No one was drunk and causing trouble, and there were no casualties. Even Manager Qi didn't show up..."
"Is there nothing wrong with Zhuangzi? Mother Sun clearly said..."
When Mrs. Lin said this, she suddenly reacted and was shocked. Someone had tricked her into it again!
The old lady hated these dirty things the most. At this moment, her eyes were as sharp as a knife when she looked at Mrs. Lin, "Mother Sun said? No matter what Mother Sun said or didn't say, there is no proof now!"
She pointed to the indigo bundle on the table in the room through the door leaf, "Don't tell me, the money in this bundle is all for Mother Sun to return to her hometown for retirement!"
Lin choked.
But that’s the truth!
Mother Sun is getting older and her health has become worse in recent years. She has long wanted to resign from the Lin family and return to her hometown to take care of her grandson. Logically speaking, Mrs. Lin would not let the people around her leave easily, but Mama Sun’s youngest son Qi Cheng was still in the house, and she was not afraid of Mama Sun’s betrayal. She also wanted Mama Sun to help her go to Shengzhou to do something, so she agreed. With this request, Zijiang planned to send her back to Shengzhou in person and cooperate with her to complete the task.
Half of the contents in this bag were to be given to Sun’s mother as money for her return to her hometown, and the other half were for Zijiang’s errands. Nan Zhu packed her things, but before she had time to explain, the old lady suddenly arrived at Huiyue Ju and was still there. Sheep casings were found under her mattress, and Huiyueju was put under guard.
After such a big incident, Sun's mother's return to Shengzhou was naturally put on hold, and the burden was left there for the time being.
Unexpectedly, when the old lady saw this baggage, she would think of an adulterer, and it happened to coincide with the murder of Sun’s mother!
This is the first time that Mr. Lin has eaten Coptis chinensis as a mute. The reason is obviously true, but he can’t explain it at all!
She looked at Li Qingyi.
Could it be that Li Qingyi used Beauty Rong to kill her in a series of revenge schemes?
She asked Wei Shicheng to use his dead soldiers to intercept and kill Li Qingyi. It was just to prevent Li Qingyi from exposing her evidence so that she could continue to act as the Princess of Zhenbei.
It seems that Li Qingyi couldn't expose her, so he turned from defense to offense!
This little girl is really amazing, she can actually make her suffer the loss of being dumb!
Li Qingyi felt her gaze and looked back calmly.
That expression seemed to say, the war has begun...
Mrs. Lin clenched her palms and sneered secretly, I want to see how capable you are and how capable you are of killing me!
Seeing that Mrs. Lin was silent, the old lady thought she was speechless, and the chill in her heart became even worse.
She glanced at the dimly lit courtyard and said coldly: "On weekdays, your courtyard is brightly lit, but today it is like this. Isn't it just for convenience? It seems that because of the Dong Chuang incident yesterday, you feel uneasy, so today you lied about Zhuangzi going out. To end the trouble, divert everyone's attention, and even lure your son out of the city in order to express your love for the adulterer, Mrs. Lin, this is what you do!"
Once people become suspicious and there are many coincidences in front of them, they will become more and more convinced of their guesses.
Han Su opened her mouth and explained for Mrs. Lin: "Old madam, I felt that the princess was in a bad mood, so I asked others to go back to the room early and not to disturb the princess, so I didn't light so many lanterns..."
The old lady glanced at her without comment.
Mrs. Lin had a lump of breath in her chest, and she forced herself to explain, "Old Madam, it was indeed Mother Sun who came to report to me that there were tenants in Zhuangzi in the north who were drunk, causing trouble and hurting people, but I just heard that Old Madam had assigned all the people to do it. The steward went to deal with it and did not let Brother Yi go to Zhuangzi!"
Gongsun Yi turned to look at Xue Ping, "Xue Ping, it was you who came to tell me that my mother-in-law asked me to go to Zhuangzi to have a look."
Lin was confused: "Xue Ping, when did I ask you to find Brother Yi?"
Xue Ping looked calm, "I was about to leave Huiyueju to go to the old lady to report the progress of today's investigation, but Sun's mother stopped me and said that Manager Qi had been away for a day and hadn't come back, and she was worried that something had happened. At least the second master can walk quickly. , it only takes an hour to come and go, let me go and inform the second master that it is the princess's order, Han Su was also listening at the time."
Han Su nodded quickly, "That's indeed what Mother Sun and Guard Xue said. There should be other people in the yard who saw the three of us standing together talking."
The old lady looked at the people below, and two girls stood up and confirmed Han Su's statement.
"How is it possible..." Ms. Lin didn't think that Mother Sun would have the guts to lie to her. "Mama Sun did come over to me in the morning and told me that something happened at Zhuangzi, and she had already reported it to the old lady, saying that the old lady had assigned all the Just go ahead and I won’t have anything to do with it after that!”
Gongsun Yi couldn't help but look at his mother, "Mother, concubine, I just asked the guard at the city gate and said that I didn't see the palace's carriage leaving the city today, so I rushed back immediately."
The old lady sneered, "Why did you rush back immediately? Maybe you thought someone was deliberately trying to transfer you away? As everyone knows, the person who deliberately transferred you away was your mother!"
Gongsun Yi looked embarrassed and asked his mother with his eyes.
Mrs. Lin had no way to answer him, but asked Han Su and others, "Who told Mama Sun about this in the first place?"
Everyone looked at each other, unable to say anything.
Mrs. Lin asked: "Then who reported it to the old lady?"
The old lady looked at her sarcastically, "It's Manager Qi."
Qi Cheng is Sun's mother's son. Although he works in the outer courtyard, the mother and son are colluding.
Now that Sun's mother is dead, Qi Cheng is nowhere to be seen. He might have died somewhere long ago. There is no evidence of his death.
Ms. Lin felt her chest was tight and short of breath, "Get the concierge!"
"No need." The old lady looked at her sarcastically, "Before I came to your place, I asked someone to ask, and there was no one at Zhuangzi today."
