After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 457 The handle
Mrs. Jin Liu was very upset.

She didn't expect that she guessed wrong. Xu Qiuniang actually had a long-lost biological sister. Jin Jiashu caught her when she made a mistake earlier. I'm afraid she won't be fooled so easily this time. If you are not careful, you may reveal your true secret...

She bit her lip, wondering how to answer Jin Jiashu's question. Jin Jiashu watched the change in expression on her face and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, he made up a story about his mother and "aunt", closing the loopholes in his "aunt's" life experience in front of the second room of the Jin family. Judging from Jin Liu's expression, she was at least seven points convinced. With the remaining three points, he would slowly think of a solution.

With this in mind, he continued to stare closely at Jin Liu: "Why didn't you say anything? Are you still doubting my statement? If you don't believe that my maternal grandfather and maternal grandmother gave birth to a second daughter back then, just go back to Zunhua Prefecture, Zhizhou Check the records in the government office! My aunt had a household registration after she was born. After she was missing, my grandfather also reported the case to the government. These records are enough to prove that what I said is definitely not true, my mother. She didn’t die, but she stayed in the palace and became a female official, and she had to hide from the world that she had been married and had a son! If you threaten me with such illusory things, you will only make people laugh! "

Jin Jiashu is really not afraid that Jin Liu will go back to his hometown to investigate. When he wrote to his "aunt" Xu Xianfei before, he had already hinted at letting her tamper with the government files in his hometown. If Jin Liu goes to investigate, he should also find the deleted records.

Even if "aunt" didn't understand the hint in his letter and didn't do anything in her hometown, that's okay. Anyway, the Zhenguo Government has already discussed with Magistrate Huang and will keep the Jin family's second wife in the northwest as much as possible, and will not let them return to Zhili to cause trouble. Chang'an is more than two thousand miles away from Zunhua Prefecture. Since the Jinliu family cannot go back, how can they check the archives in the Zhizhou Yamen? Jin Jiashu said this just to scare Jin Liushi into believing that what he said was true.

As expected, Mrs. Jin Liu believed it. She beat the ground and sighed bitterly. She put on a remorseful expression and cried to Jin Jiashu: "My uncle was wrong. My uncle should not have come to scare you at will without finding out the facts. My aunt actually has no ill intentions, but she is too anxious. She is afraid that the old lady and your uncle will suffer if the government opens a court. In fact, my aunt just wants you to show your respect and not be like our family. But you have always been different from our family. Get close, my aunt is afraid that you won’t agree, so she will say random and scary things..."

"Are you just scaring me?" Jin Jiashu smiled coldly, "Okay, then I'll believe you for now. But I should answer my question just now. How come it's been so long, and you're still there You have to think about it, but you just don’t want to tell me frankly, where is my mother?”

Mrs. Jin Liu stopped crying, and the handkerchief in her hand was almost torn: "I...didn't I say that I was trying to scare you? Those words just now cannot be taken seriously. Of course your mother died in In Beijing, our family buried her with our own hands..."

Jin Jiashu smiled: "One moment you said that my mother was not dead and stayed in the palace to serve the nobles, and the next moment you said that she had died in the capital, or your family buried her, isn't this contradictory? Is my mother dead? Is it alive?”

Jin Liu raised her head and wanted to answer, but was interrupted by Jin Jiashu: "Mother, it's best to think clearly before answering. Don't say that my mother is dead now, and then run out and yell around tomorrow that she is still alive. If you dare to do this, I will report everything you said today and let him hold you accountable for spreading rumors and slander! My aunt is not someone who can be slandered. The queen mother and the emperor are in front of each other. My mother is her only relative. If she knows that my mother-in-law is making fun of my mother's life and death, she will definitely not let you go!"

Jin Liushi struggled for a long time, but was finally frightened by Jin Jiashu's words about the power of the holy aunt and gave in. She told Jin Jiashu honestly: "When we were in the capital, we really didn't see your mother coming out of the palace! We always thought that she had died in the fire in the palace! Your father didn't dare to look for her, let alone People are making inquiries because they are afraid that if people find out that he has a relationship with the Wu family, the Sun family will come to look for trouble! "

Jin Jiashu knew it in his heart, but he didn't show any strange expression on his face: "Impossible! My aunt made it clear in the letter. She personally sent my mother to the palace gate and watched her leave the palace. If my mother didn't reply, When she got home, where else could she go?" He looked suspicious, "Actually, you killed her, right? She was killed, and on the pretext that she died of a sudden illness, she was buried in a hurry and the family fled the capital. Otherwise, you just need to tell the truth that you didn't see her come home. Why lie and say that she had arrived home because of illness. Died?"

Jin Liu said anxiously: "I'm telling the truth! We really haven't seen her! If she really returned home, how dare I come to you today and say that she is still in the palace? That's why I I didn’t see her die, so I thought she might still be alive. If she hasn’t come back to reunite with you, there must be something wrong with her!”

She was so anxious that she cried, and once again regretted that she should not have come to see Jin Jiashu today. I thought I had caught his handle, but I didn't expect that my handle would be exposed soon.

Sure enough, Jin Jiashu asked the question she was most afraid of in the next second: "If you haven't seen my mother and don't know whether she is dead or alive, then who are you burying in Beijing? Don't tell me that it is Gu Kong." The coffin. Isn’t it because the third uncle is not afraid of the magistrate digging the grave?” He paused, “And it must be a woman about the same age as my mother!”

Jin Liushi sobbed softly and refused to answer, but Jin Jiashu saw the twinkling in her eyes and knew that she was feeling guilty.

He sat upright and took a deep breath: "It doesn't matter if my mother-in-law refuses to answer. Anyway, I can write to my aunt now and ask my aunt to ask for the Queen Mother's grace and send officers and soldiers to dig the grave and take a look. I have the address. I have heard it from my father a long time ago. As long as the officers and soldiers dug up the body in the grave, and combined with what my mother-in-law said now, she never saw my mother coming home, it can be proved that maybe you did not see my mother returning back then. , you didn’t bury her, but you must have killed someone and you buried her in my mother’s name! Neither you nor my third uncle can escape the serious crime of murder!”

Mrs. Jin Liu was immediately shocked: "No, no, no! We didn't kill anyone! She died of illness on her own!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Mrs. Jin Liu was discouraged and could no longer hide it. She cried: "That is my natal sister, your stepmother's sister, who happened to come to Beijing to seek refuge with me. She was originally very ill, but she never recovered, and the medicine didn't work. She just happened to have swallowed her stomach in those few days. After getting angry, your father said that no one in the capital had ever seen my sister, and she was about the same age and stature as your mother, so he buried my sister as your mother and only told the public that she suddenly fell ill. They were not sent to the palace by the Wu family. Once we bury the person, we can leave the capital as soon as possible. Even if the Sun family knows that someone from our family has done something for the Wu family, it won’t matter..."

She would agree to such a thing back then because she had no choice but to do so. The Sun family is really terrible. At that time, the families of two of the wet nurses sent to the palace by the Wu family had already suffered disaster. She doesn't want to be implicated!
Jin Liushi whimpered. Not only did she fail to grasp Jin Jiashu's handle, but she gave her own handle to him. This time she returns home, how will she explain to her husband and son? !
She was crying sadly, but she was frightened and froze by the question Jin Jiashu asked again: "Auntie's other sister... wasn't she beaten to death by her husband? You went to the government to accuse your brother-in-law of murder! "
