Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 301 She Hanged herself!

Xiao Huai quickly asked someone to give her a bunch of school sites for Su Yan to recruit.

Pearls counted them roughly, and there were about twenty or thirty places. Fortunately, Shen Xi was very familiar with the capital, so it didn't seem like much effort.

When Shen Yan heard about it, she happily gave her some advice: "The atmosphere near Shuntian Mansion School is good, and there are many dignitaries nearby, so it's a good place.

"However, Zhongmingfang in Beicheng is close to the Wangfu, and the location is good, so I think it's okay. But if you want a quiet and elegant environment, you have to count Qionglin Hutong in the Hanlin Academy."

She is also very precious to everyone.

While talking, she couldn't help but invite Shen Xin back. Shen Xin was the first beneficiary under Shen Xi, and she was very supportive of this: "I will come too at that time! Although I am not talented, I have studied for a few years after all. Books, teaching little girls to read and write shouldn't be a problem!"

Because Shen Xi only intends to do small things, so there is no problem with Shen Xin's words.

The three sisters did not leave until before dinner.

At night, Shen Xi fell asleep in the dripping snowmelt water under the eaves.

She didn't know how long she slept, when she suddenly felt that someone lifted the curtain, and called her eagerly: "Miss, are you asleep?"

She opened her eyes in a daze, and looked at Pearl in front of the bed. The moment she saw her wake up, her solemn expression suddenly relaxed: "Girl, something happened to Mrs. Ji!"

Hearing the word Ji, Shen Xi suddenly sat up: "What happened?!"

"She's dead!" Pearl's voice was a little tense, and she said, "Wang'er just received the news from the person sent to watch over Mrs. Ji, half an hour ago, Mrs. Ji hanged herself to death!
"After finding out, the mother-in-law next to her immediately yelled and went to Shuntian Mansion to report the crime! When our people heard the news, they rushed back and told the police!"

Shen Xi's whole body was awake!

How could the Ji family hang himself all of a sudden?

Under such a heavy blow at the beginning, she didn't seek death. Although she was retired now, she still has food, clothing, and a house and shop, and it is impossible for Shen Qu brothers to really ignore her when they grow up. She has no reason Suddenly can't think about it!

She kicked off her shoes, walked towards the dressing table and said, "Call Wang'er and Nanny Qi over here!"

Pearl went immediately.

Dangkou Yuanbei and Pingshuang who combed their hair also came in.

Shen Xi took the time to look at the missing engraving on the table, it was only the fourth watch, half an hour ago it would be after midnight.

This time should be the time when everyone is sleeping peacefully, why did Ji choose to seek death at this time?
She hanged herself... what does that mean?Why did she die at this time?
Also, since he was hanged, why did he report to the police in such a hurry?Shouldn't you report to the Shen family first?After all, she has children...

Although she was a divorced daughter-in-law, she couldn't ignore the death of this second-in-law with the background of what happened a few days ago!
Qi Jiu and Wang'er entered the front hall one after another, where she simply combed her hair in a bun, inserted a few hairpins, and then came out wearing a white butterfly wearing a cloud brocade jacket.

Wang'er recounted the previous incident again. She thought about it and said, "Have you ever reported to the third master?"

"There is morning court today, and the third master and the old master have already gone to court!" Wang'er said.

The little emperor was still young, so in autumn and winter, the palace would go to court every three days and early in the morning.

The five watch drums are beating, and all the officials should be waiting outside the Meridian Gate right now!

Shen Xi was stunned again, it was such a coincidence that something happened just as they were going to the palace?

She frowned here for a moment, got up and said: "Yuanbei hurry up and inform the second master, the third master and the third girl, I will wait for them under the hanging flower gate!
"Pearl bring me the cloak, you guys go and get ready, we'll take a few people to Ji's house to have a look! ——Oh, that's right!"

Speaking of this, she said to Wang'er: "Hurry up and send a letter to the prince's mansion, and ask him to come over!"

The Shen family's father and son went out as usual, and arrived outside the Meridian Gate before the fifth watch.

It was neither early nor late, and there were only seven or eight people who came to chat.

After exchanging greetings with each other, after a while Han Dun arrived, and not long after, King Yan and his son also arrived, and the scene became lively in an instant.

The military generals still clustered around King Yan and his son, while the civil servants were headed by Han Dun. Only the father and son of the Shen family were on either side, and they simply stood there without moving.

But soon both sides became quiet again, because someone discovered that Hu Wei, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, appeared in the crowd of officials wearing a scarlet robe...

According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, whenever the imperial censor has a report, he will go to the court in austere clothes. The appearance of Hu Wei undoubtedly descended on this small area like frost.

A sense of ominous premonition rose in Shen Ruopu's heart, he looked at his two sons, put his hands together and stood under the tree again.

Shen Chongguang frowned tightly, but he remained calm.

Some officials also began to discuss privately, but the volume was low and there was a hint of nervousness.

Xiao Huai paused for a while with his head held high, then suddenly walked past Du Jia and Liu He to Shen Ruopu, and saluted deeply: "Grandfather."

This call sounded like thunder on the ground, and everyone who was discussing around fell silent!
Who in the civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty has ever seen him, the son of Prince Yan, be so obedient to whom?
Shen Chongyi hurriedly cupped his hands: "Your Majesty can't do it!"

Even if they are married, it is acceptable to call him an official position in his capacity, how can he be called according to Shen Xi's generation?

Xiao Huai bowed again: "Uncle."

Shen Chongyi also fell silent immediately!
Xiao Huai looked at Shen Chongguang warmly again: "Third Uncle's job is going well?"

The court was full of civil and military uproar!

King Yan's son praised Shen's family so much, could it be true that the rumor that he favored the concubine who had not yet passed the family history was true?
Behind them, Du Jia and his noble generals looked at each other very much, and immediately surrounded them with smiles, holding the junior ceremony with Shen Ruopu and his son one after another.

In an instant, the generals also divided into two factions, the older generation stayed by King Yan's side, and the younger generation were all brought to the side of Shen's father and son by Xiao Huai.

Wu Ningbo smiled slightly and sighed with King Yan: "This child has always loved his weaknesses since he was a child."

King Yan glanced at the other side when he heard the words, curled his lips and smiled, then withdrew his eyes and looked at the tower with his hands behind his back. The palace lights were bright all around, but his pupils were reflected a little dark.

Shen Yan and the others moved very quickly, but within a quarter of an hour, the brothers and sisters had arrived at the Chuihua Gate one after another!

Shen Yan didn't apply makeup and powder, and although her hair was combed neatly, she couldn't hide her paleness.

Shen Qu was still putting on his shoes while running, and shouting while putting on his shoes, "Who sent back the news? Is it true or not? Who dares to tease me carefully? I will kill him!"

It wasn't until he saw Shen Xi in neat attire and standing with a heavy face under the porch that he gritted his teeth and got on the horse led by the boy!

Shen Mao is still young, so it's useless to go there.

Shen Xi didn't say anything here, and immediately brought Shen Yan into the carriage!

The Liu'er Hutong where Mrs. Ji lived was not close to Shen's house. After all, Shen Chongguang hated her so much that he didn't want her to have the opportunity to show up often.

In the carriage, Shen Xi explained the reason, and Shen Yan who was sitting next to her trembled a little.
