The Forensic Doctor's Daughter-in-law

Chapter 143 Conditions for choosing a husband, sending flowers in the middle of the night (1)
As for what happened to this Zihan girl tonight?I just waited to take the opportunity to inquire later, and immediately bid farewell to Cui Lanchi and the others, and went back home.

On the way back, Dou Zihan didn't want to say anything, but he couldn't help but still feel a little worried. God knows, what else will Third Young Master Li do?And what happened tonight, do you want to tell ancestor Cui?
It's really a wave of ups and downs, and another wave.In the end, Dou Zihan still did not tell Ancestor Cui what happened that night.

On the other hand, Miss Cui Si went to her mother's yard after she entered the door, after freshening up, and told Mrs. Cui everything that happened at the Qixi Temple Fair tonight.

"You said that wild girl got lost and was met by you later?" Mrs. Cui asked after hearing what had happened.

"Yes, mother, it's all because of my daughter's carelessness. She didn't take good care of cousin Zihan." Miss Cui said hypocritically. Even in front of her own mother, she would never say that she deliberately left Dou Zihan behind.

"Since the person has returned safely, it's fine, and the ancestors can't say anything. As for the nineteenth son of the Pei family who suddenly appeared, you don't have to worry about it. That wild girl can't make any trouble, the Pei family? Let mother think about it, in about half a month, it will be the birthday of the old lady of the Pei family. When the time comes, the old ancestor will probably take you and that wild girl there, so you should be more careful. "

"Mother, I know."

On the second day, among the new rumors in the capital, there was nothing about Dou Zihan and Li Sangongzi, which made Dou Zihan feel relieved, but the biggest rumor was another one, which caught Dou Zihan's attention.

This rumor has something to do with Mr. Li, that is, last night, Mr. Li's cousin, who made things difficult for Dou Zihan at the lotus meeting, and the one who Dou Zihan drew a portrait of her later. The girl, before going out to visit the temple fair, was killed in her boudoir. The murder weapon was a silver hairpin worn by this girl Li.

This is already the third lady from the family who died after the lotus meeting. Before these people died, they all received a letter with lotus printed on it. After their death, the letter was also left on the spot.

Compared with other gossip in the capital, this bloody tragedy spread throughout the capital in a very short period of time.

If it was said that a famous lady died at the beginning, everyone didn't take it to heart, but the people who died one after another seemed to be related to the lotus society.

This morning, when Dou Zihan was having breakfast with ancestor Cui, ancestor Cui specifically mentioned this matter.

Dou Zihan believes that since the same evidence appeared at the scene of these three murders, it means that the deaths of the three daughters may be committed by the same murderer, but what is particularly disturbing is that the three daughters have already died. , who is the fourth?Will the next one fall on his head?What is the murderer's motive for killing?

The old habits developed in her previous career made Dou Zihan pay some attention to such matters, but even if she cares about such matters, her current identity is no longer an excellent forensic doctor, but a fake lady. No matter how many people died in the capital, nothing would happen to her.

Dou Zihan was silent again. Although she was very unwilling to become an ordinary housewife in this era, and could do nothing but intrigue with the people in the house every day, but now she really has no The right opportunity allows her to give full play to her strengths in this era.

Should she be more active and create an opportunity for herself?

Perhaps for her, the most ideal marriage partner is not those idle sons of princes like Mr. Li San who are doing nothing, nor is it the self-righteous and capable aristocratic talent like Mr. Wang Hao.

Instead, it is more appropriate to find a son from a humble family, or an official's son from an ordinary background. This year is the year of the big exam. After the big exam, some of the people who passed the exam will be sent down to be local officials. If you can marry such a person as your wife, According to the ancient system of government and criminal law that does not separate families, she can rely on her own ability to play along with the husband and give full play to her strengths.

But how difficult is it to find such a person?

Scholars in this era read too many books, most of them are pedantic, and they like to talk about the principles of Confucius and Mencius, emphasizing the principle that a woman's lack of talent is virtue, and I'm afraid I won't allow my wife to have an autopsy!

What's more, many ancient people thought that dead bodies were filthy and unlucky, not to mention those dead bodies that died abnormally, which looked terrible. Many people thought that the people who performed autopsies were monsters, which is the case in modern times. In the era of enlightenment, the marriage of many female forensic doctors is difficult, let alone the acceptance of people in this era.

But no matter how difficult it is, this is a road after all, and she still wants to give it a try.Maybe there will really be something to gain, it's better than sitting and waiting for death like this.

Now that she has this idea, most of her current marriages are left to the old ancestor Cui. No matter what happens, she needs the cooperation and help of this grandmother.

Thinking of this, Dou Zihan watched the maidservants in Cui's ancestor's room finish collecting the dishes they had eaten earlier, and said, "Grandmother, Zihan has a few words to say to my grandmother."

As soon as Dou Zihan's voice fell, the other people in the room automatically backed out.

"What do you want to say, girl? Or what do these dead girls remind you of?" Because the matter of the few daughters who died recently who participated in the lotus meeting was mentioned earlier, the old ancestor Cui mistakenly thought that what Dou Zihan wanted to say was also about this aspect. She was afraid that there might be something hidden about these murders and that Dou Zihan would be involved, so she looked a little dignified.

"No, grandma, what Zihan wants to talk about is my marriage, it has nothing to do with these dead girls, and Zihan doesn't know why the murderer killed the three girls, but Zihan himself will still be careful. "

Dou Zihan hurriedly explained that in fact, most of the information dissemination in this era is word of mouth. Although the rumors are like this, the specific circumstances of the case may only be known to those who have handled the case, and she can only make a preliminary conclusion based on these rumors. It's just a judgment, and I don't know the cause, motive, etc. of this case.

"When something like this happened, no matter whether the rumors are true or not, you should pay more attention on weekdays. By the way, what do you think about the marriage you mentioned just now? Tell me that your grandmother helped you as a staff member!" Cui ancestor heard Seeing Dou Zihan's explanation, he knew that he had misunderstood, and the expression on his face eased a lot.

"If you go back to your grandmother, although Zihan is your granddaughter, Zihan's background is very humble in the eyes of others, and his family can only be regarded as a merchant at best. It is difficult to get married with the children of officials, let alone those I'm a son of a duke, even if it's in their eyes, these sons of the duke's mansion won't give me the title of regular wife at all, at best I'll be an ordinary wife. Jinshi has to raise a son, or a small official who can be released as a regular wife. It is best that this person is not of high family background. In that case, after Zihan gets married, for the sake of the Cui family, he will not dare to treat Zihan badly. "Dou Zihan truthfully said what he said in his heart.
