Jinxin

Chapter 336
Fangcao had already known the opportunity to withdraw, so Ruan Yunsi gently covered Su Mingxi's mouth, and sighed: "What's the point of saying this now? After all, this matter has nothing to do with you. Today's men, In a high position like you, who doesn't have three wives and four concubines? Speaking of which, you are considered good. It's just that what you just said is right, there is no limit to human greed. If men can stick to one Therefore, there will be no maids trying to climb onto the master's bed, and there will be no concubines who are concubines, but they are looking forward to having children, and when they have children, they are looking forward to power. Feeling that one's status is low and greedy, in the end, how can these battles have any good endings? Either a complete defeat, or both losers, think about it, what's the point?"

Su Mingxi nodded slightly, and had to admit that what Ruan Yunsi said was really wise.The husband and wife held hands and were speechless for a while.

After an unknown amount of time, Ruan Yunsi cheered up and said: "Yes, what happened in the mansion finally happened. The mother and the old lady are probably very angry, but Aunt Yuan... Although she was very wrong , after all... let her live. This is not a serious crime of adultery and murder, she is just a loser in the battle. What I want to tell you now is another thing..."

After repeating the letter that Zhong Nan sent over, Su Mingxi was shocked, and then he frowned, and said softly: "So, after the Chinese New Year in the capital, I have also heard of two The three women who committed suicide were all young. It is strange, why would such a person commit suicide? What happened? Let them commit suicide like this..."

Thinking of this, she said to Ruan Yunsi: "You are pregnant, and take a good rest. I will go out and let the Criminal Department investigate carefully. By the way, I am afraid that I still have to go to the palace to report this matter to the emperor. The doctor Chen has gone before. Prince Jing's Mansion, I have already left a message, and I can come over to give you a diagnosis and treatment if I want to come later. Yunsi, you just need to take good care of the baby, and you don't need to worry about anything else. Trust me, I will take care of it."

Ruan Yunsi nodded and smiled at Su Mingxi: "Well, I have always believed in you, always."

The husband and wife looked at each other, feeling extremely ironed in their hearts.After a while, Su Mingxi straightened up, strode out of the inner room, and saw Fangcao and a few little girls doing needlework outside, so he told them to take good care of grandma, and he went out again without stopping.

*********************************
"I've never lived in a house like this since I was born. It's dark, cold and damp." In the dark woodshed, Aunt Yuan sat on the ground with her arms around her knees, staring blankly at the skylight on the roof, and murmured muttering to himself.

Xiaoxi next to her was also looking at the skylight, but she was thinking differently from Aunt Yuan. For some reason, she thought of the little girl named Pin'er at this moment. I heard that she was in the juggling troupe She had practiced bone shrinking skill before she could escape from the firewood house. At that time, Xiaoxi thought it was unbelievable, thinking how could such a thing happen, but now she wished that she could also have that kind of magical skill, so that she could escape from the woodshed. Escaped here.

The master and servant stayed here for a long time, and no one came in to ask a question. At this moment, they were terribly afraid.

Aunt Yuan was more unwilling in fear, while Xiaoxi was completely afraid.It was only after she was locked up in the firewood room that she learned the details of the incident from her master. She couldn't help but feel terrified, knowing that this time the master will not be able to turn over without saying anything, and she is afraid that she will also be kicked out of the mansion No, it's okay to be kicked out of the house, I'm afraid that Mrs. Liu will anger Aunt Yuan, and even her personal maid will be beaten to death.

Now Xiaoxi can only keep praying in his heart, praying for God to protect Ruan Yunsi's mother and child, otherwise, once something happens to the fetus in the womb of the master, it is conceivable that he really has no way out.You say you don't know anything, who would believe it?I am the most trusted servant girl by Aunt Yuan's side, if I don't know about these bad things, is it possible?But the problem is, she really doesn't know.It's rare to see such a useless and caring maid like her in history, right?

Xiaoxi didn't know until this time that Aunt Yuan had never really trusted herself, no, not only herself, but in the heart of this master, she was probably the most trustworthy person.Xiaoxi didn't even know where she got that safflower musk from?Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it won't be a day or two to keep this thing in the room. Perhaps the master has already made preparations for this when Ruan Yunsi married in.

Just as he was thinking wildly, he heard footsteps outside the door, and then the door opened, and five or six strong servant women stood guard outside the door. Two women came in with food boxes, glanced at their master and servant, and threw the food boxes on the ground , sneered and said: "You guys are lucky today, I'm busy with big things, I don't have time to deal with you, and let you live a few more days."

Xiaoxi's tears fell down after a brush.At this time, Aunt Yuan straightened her waist, still showing the appearance of an aunt in the past, only glanced at the food box on the ground, then turned her eyes to the mother-in-law's face, and said with a sneer: "Is there anything else that can compare Is it more important to deal with a poisonous woman like a snake like a scorpion like me? Isn’t your master the vixen who is most nervous?”

The mother-in-law looked at her with disgust on her face, and snorted coldly: "Don't think that you are like a dish, the death of a dozen young daughters-in-law outside is far more important than you bitch. Looking at you, it’s just a few days to live, don’t you know that the most uncomfortable thing is not death, but the time waiting for death?”

This old woman had a nephew who committed a felony, and she visited once, and she heard the nephew weeping bitterly, saying that it is better to let him die immediately, than to count every day that the execution day is approaching, and be terrified.In the end, the nephew hit the wall and committed suicide in prison, which shows that the feeling of waiting to die is really uncomfortable.

Sure enough, upon hearing these words, the calmness on Aunt Yuan's face disappeared, and Xiaoxi's whole body trembled.The two women ignored them, put down the food box and turned to go out, only to hear one of them ask: "Old sister, I also heard about this, but I didn't hear it really bright, what's the reason? Why do you still care about this kind of thing?"

The mother-in-law sighed and said, "It's a crime, Brother Nan told me that it was in the countryside of Lushui City. For some reason, more than a dozen young daughters-in-law died in the past two or three months, and two or three of them died. They were all pregnant. Even in the capital, two women from wealthy families hanged themselves and swallowed gold during this period. Do you think this is normal? No, I will report to the emperor. ..."

Speaking of this, the voice gradually faded away, and finally it was not heard.

Aunt Yuan sat there blankly, her whole body seemed to be stiff.

Xiaoxi was a little hungry, but she didn't dare to eat first if the master didn't eat, so she ate it and said: "Master, you...you should get something...you have worked so hard in this mansion. Over the years, as the saying goes, a one-night couple, a hundred nights of grace, maybe... maybe the master will be lenient..."

Before she finished speaking, she saw two lines of tears rolling down Aunt Yuan's face, and she suddenly laughed bitterly and said, "I'm afraid...you can forgive me, but this time...but you can't..."

Seeing that her face was pale, Xiaoxi was so frightened that she was scared out of her wits, and was about to step forward to check, but saw Aunt Yuan straightened up again, slowly picked up the bowl of rice, and said with a sad smile: "Eat, eat, even if you die, you will die." I want to be a full-bodied ghost. Hehe...hehehe..."

Xiaoxi only felt that the master was acting strangely. Looking around the house, it was completely dark. It was not dark yet. Will there be mice?Thinking of this, she felt that her stomach was not as hungry as before, and it was replaced by fear that could not be expressed.

Five days have passed since Su Mingxi was so busy.

After he reported this matter to the emperor that day, the emperor was really shocked, and immediately ordered him to go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to assist in the investigation of the matter, and he must find out the truth as soon as possible.

The officials of the Ministry of Punishment are not Zhen Yan's team, but most of them are people who are close to Su Mingxi, so the work efficiency is naturally extremely fast.And the headhunters with rich experience in criminal investigations are much more efficient than the little monkeys sent by Ruan Yunsi to visit within a radius of [-] miles of the capital.In just five days, all kinds of clues came together.

But it turned out that in the past three months, in the urban and rural areas with a radius of 39 miles from the capital, the number of young women who committed suicide, stumbled, or even disappeared has reached [-]. Even before three months, there were sporadic cases of women committing suicide. , but although everyone felt strange, no one cared.If Zhong Nan hadn't noticed something strange this time, came to find Ruan Yunsi, and alerted the emperor through Su Mingxi, these women would have died in vain.

In such an abnormal situation, it can be determined that there must be a reason behind it.It's just that it's not enough for a while, because there are too many and messy clues.

In the past few days, Su Mingxi felt sorry for Ruan Yunsi because she went out early and returned late. She had clearly experienced such a shocking event before her beloved wife, and he should be by her side to comfort and take care of her.However, because of the entanglement in business affairs, Yin could only comfort herself and said: Yunsi is a kind-hearted woman, she knows that I am dedicated to serving the public, so she will definitely not blame me, not to mention, Yunniang is by her side to take care of her, so she finally has something to say people, not too lonely.

Even so, it has been like this for five days in a row, and Su Mingxi feels a little guilty.Because of this day, he deliberately came back an hour early to talk and eat with Ruan Yunsi.
