The maid looked extremely smart and walked up to the concubine and said, "The madam is gone, but I still have you, my aunt. I think the position of the mistress of the house will be yours sooner or later."
The concubine raised her eyes and looked at the maid, "You are a very clever girl."
The maid's face was full of smiles, "Anyone with a discerning eye can clearly see that the Marquis has only his only son, the Marquis. Auntie, you are very popular with the Marquis. Naturally, I would like to congratulate my aunt."
Unexpectedly, the concubine smiled slightly, shook her head slightly, and said: "I have a special status. I am afraid that I will not be able to take the position of the mistress of the house. But some of your words are reasonable. Mr. Hou only has an only son, Xu'er. , Mother is as valuable as son. Even if I am not the mistress, I will definitely be in charge of all the affairs of the back house from now on. It is not easy to control such a big back house, and it will naturally require a lot of manpower. I will step in from now on. You girl followed me when I got to the Marquis Mansion, and you are usually very clever in serving me. I will definitely not treat you badly from now on."
After receiving such a promise, the maid's face was full of joy and she said excitedly: "Don't worry, aunt, I will definitely live up to my trust from now on! I will die dedicated to my aunt!" The maid had no education and didn't know where she heard such a sentence. It is used here.
The concubine raised her hand and said: "Okay, okay, now that my wife is newly mourned, how can you be shouting here, how unbecoming it is? Besides, there are many official servants in the Hou Mansion, so be careful of someone taking advantage of her."
The maid immediately covered her mouth and nodded desperately.
The concubine then asked: "If you want to go out later, you must be sad..."
While the master and servant were talking, they saw a young man pushing open the door and entering.
The young man was none other than Zhang Ren.
A stranger broke in. Naturally, it was the time when the maid was acting out. She sternly shouted at Zhang Ren: "Who are you? You can break into the house of the Marquis of Pingliang at will?"
Zhang Ren raised his eyes and looked at the maid. This maid's skin was slightly dark and could not be called delicate, but her appearance was very pleasant. Then Zhang Ren tilted his head and looked at the concubine sitting peacefully, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Servant She's quite beautiful. You're prettier than the maid. With those big eyes, there's no one else! If I had a girlfriend as beautiful as you, my mother would probably be grinning from ear to ear." Zhang Ren said, thinking. Before Li Yajun traveled through time, he was always chatting beside him, worrying about his mother not being able to find a girlfriend, thinking that they would never see each other again.
Although today's Ming Dynasty is not as popular in literary style as the Song Dynasty, everyone is arty. Even military commanders have to say a few sentences in full for fear of being called a vulgar martial artist. Only those who are polite and military will be more respected by others.
So these days, when you compliment someone on how beautiful they are, you usually end up with two lines from a classic love poem. There is really no one like Zhang Ren who praises people so straightforwardly.
After hearing what Zhang Ren said, the concubine was naturally ashamed and angry. The maid next to her stood in front of the concubine with her hands on her hips, "Where did you come from? You are so shameless! If you dare to break into the back house of the Marquis Mansion privately, be careful not to save your life!"
Zhang Ren ignored the maid, but pulled up a chair and sat directly opposite the concubine.
"Jinyiwei is handling the case. I have something to ask this beautiful sister. I now suspect that the death of Mrs. Pingliang Hou is related to the beautiful sister." Zhang Ren said while showing the token.
The concubine frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she asked directly: "Did you hear what our master and servant said?"
Zhang Ren smiled slightly and said: "I have a good ear, and I can hear any whisper clearly."
As soon as Zhang Ren finished speaking, the maid beside him no longer had the same toughness as before, but slumped directly to the ground. These days, when official cases are handled, it depends on who the target is. This is the Pingliang Marquis Mansion, and it stands to reason that official officials should also report and knock on the door before entering, so just now the maid dared to speak so loudly and unscrupulously.
But Zhang Ren in front of him did not follow the routine and listened to all the words of the master and servant. The concubine had the amulet of Pingliang Hou's only son, which would ensure her safety, but the maid made arrogant remarks about the master at the time of the new death of the mistress. If word spread about the back house, no one would say anything if the maid was beaten to death.
The more the maid thought about it, the more scared she became, and she cried loudly. While she was crying, she said to Zhang Ren, "Please forgive me, sir!"
The concubine glared at her maid, somewhat hating her for not arguing. She was so frightened by just one guard, and she thought she wouldn't be able to do anything big in the future. However, the concubine did not panic and asked Zhang Ren, "I wonder what Mr. Chai wants to ask?"
Zhang Ren asked: "I just heard you say that you have a special status? You can't become the mistress of the Hou Mansion? Can you explain to me why?"
Instead of answering, the concubine slapped the table and stood up with an angry look on her face, "I don't want to argue with you because you broke into the back house privately, but why did you humiliate me?"
Zhang Ren looked innocent and said: "Humiliation? I didn't..."
But the concubine's eyes widened with hatred, "Dang Jinyiwei, how can you not find out my identity? You asked me face to face and you said you didn't humiliate me?"
Zhang Ren didn't know why his concubine was so angry, so he could only spread his hands and said: "I really don't have any, beauty!"
The concubine was filled with hatred, but she did not intend to continue the topic. Instead, she changed the subject and said: "I am the concubine of the Marquis after all, and I have given birth to a son for the Marquis. If I shout 'indecent" at this moment ', I wonder what kind of situation Mr. Chai will face?"
Zhang Ren secretly thought that it was not good. He really didn’t expect that the beautiful woman in front of him would have such a killer move. If he really yelled an insult, it would be nothing more than hurting the enemy a thousand times and damaging himself eight hundred times. The concubine’s own reputation was damaged, and Zhang Ren dared to molest someone's concubine in Xungui Mansion, and he would probably be sentenced to exile even if he didn't say anything.
Fortunately, Zhang Ren's cultivation was very thick-skinned and he did not show any psychological changes at all.
I saw the corner of Zhang Ren's mouth raised, and he said to the concubine: "Do you think I'm stupid? I don't even bring a friend with me when I come to ask a question? Why don't you try shouting at me, beautiful sister?"
The concubine unleashed her killing move, but Zhang Ren turned around and led the entire army. The current situation could be described as a head-to-head situation. Both of them were on the verge of defeating the enemy, and what was competing now was their psychological quality.
The two were in a stalemate for a while, but in the end the concubine chose to compromise, because she didn't dare to gamble, couldn't afford to gamble, let alone gamble for the so-called humiliation, everything was not worth it.
The concubine bit her lip, feeling extremely aggrieved, "In the early years, something unexpected happened in my family. All my family members died, and I was the only one left. I was helpless and had no ability. I was deceived into a brothel and became a prostitute. I'm a coward, so I can't become the mistress of the Hou Mansion."
People in later generations also attached great importance to family status, let alone this era. Zhang Ren sighed, and the concubine in front of him was just a poor woman.
Zhang Ren stood up and put the chair back in its original position, then bowed to his concubine and said, "I'm sorry, I really don't know your identity. Now that I think about it, my question is indeed very rude. You can rest assured." , I will not tell anyone about the conversation between your master and servant."
After saying that, Zhang Ren turned around and walked out. For the murder of Mrs. Pingliang Hou, he had to figure out some issues, so although he felt very rude in his heart, he did not regret it. After all, human life was at stake.
Now, he can basically exclude his concubine from the list of suspects.
Mrs. Pingliang Hou died so miserably. All the concubine's family members were dead. The closest person in the house was the little maid who couldn't help but frighten her. She was a helpless and weak woman who was basically helpless without anyone to help her. It's possible to commit such a murder.
Of course, judging from my concubine's behavior just now, there is no way she is a white lotus. Within the high walls and deep houses, the white lotus is either assimilated by the mud, or completely buried deep in the mud...
