Chapter 164： Suspect

Looking at the two common rooms that he hadn't noticed for a long time, Uncle Yong Chang suppressed various emotions and said: "This is Lord Yin Zhen from Shuntian Mansion. What is Lord Zhen asking you? You must answer truthfully, do you know?"

Tong Fang Chunmei, with a gentle temperament, greedily glanced at Uncle Yong Chang, bowed her knees to bow to Zhen Shicheng and Uncle Yong Chang, and said "I know", with a proper look.

Chaoyun didn't look at anyone, and followed Chunmei to salute, with a dull expression, without saying a word.

"Where do the two live?" Zhen Shicheng asked.

"The cheap concubine lives in the Dongkua Yard." As if knowing that Chaoyun would not say anything, Chunmei took the initiative, "Chaoyun lives in the Xikua Yard."

"When did you fall asleep last night?"

"The cheap concubine fell asleep as soon as he arrived at the beginning of the sea." Chunmei's tone was a bit self-deprecating, "Nothing left or right."

Day after day, long nights, without children and men, what do you do without sleeping?

Thinking like this, Chunmei couldn't help but glance at Uncle Yong Chang from the corner of her eye.

When the wife was pregnant, she was almost overjoyed when she heard that she was going to choose a room for my uncle. Even though my uncle and his wife had clearly stated that the room was not allowed to give birth to an heir, she still asked her parents to push off the marriage that was originally discussed. Wish to become the uncle's woman.

When I was young, I always refused to admit defeat, thinking that with his somewhat beautiful and understanding temperament, my uncle would be warmed up sooner or later. In the future, there will be a man and a half daughter, and her children will also be the masters.

However, it took a long time to realize that the uncle’s reception room was nothing more than a bed warmer when the wife was inconvenient. In his uncle’s mind, they were not much different from the cats and dogs.

Year after year passed, the sorrow was long gone, unwilling may be, but regret.

Those sisters who married Xiaosi did not feel more comfortable than her. There were a lot of people who were beaten by men every day or worried about their livelihood. She lived quietly in the big house, at least without worry about food and clothing, and her parents and brothers also had a lot of light...

"Where's the maid who serves you?"

Soon the two maids stepped forward to give Zhen Shicheng a courtesy.

"Did you wait for your aunt to sleep last night?"

A Tsing Yi maid said: "Last night, the maidservant was watching the night, so she rested at her aunt's feet."

Uncle Yong Chang never carried his aunts to the two common rooms, but his sons have grown up. When people mentioned the two common rooms of his uncle, they called them aunts. No one was surprised.

"Was there any movement in the middle?"

The maidservant in Tsing Yi said without hesitation: "No. The maid slept lightly and slept at the feet of the aunt. If there is any movement, the maid would know. The maid woke up in the morning. It was the facial cleanser that the maid and Tao Hong gave to the aunt."

The other maid nodded and said yes.

Zhen Shicheng opened the roster and flipped through it, and he knew that the two maids serving Aunt Mei were Tao Hong and Liu Lu, both of which were transferred to Dongkuayuan to serve Aunt Mei three years ago.

three years ago--

Zhen Shicheng couldn't help looking at Uncle Yongchang.

This time is exactly when Chaoyun got pregnant and then had an abortion. From experience, it can be concluded that this is no coincidence.

Uncle Yong Chang glanced at Chaoyun and whispered: "At that time, I felt that the people in the back house were floating, so I changed all the maids who served them."

Chaoyun became pregnant inexplicably, and Uncle Yong Chang suspected that she had bought the maid-in-law to replace the avoidance soup. In order to avoid this kind of thing in the future, she simply changed all the servants who were waiting.

He no longer wanted to experience the heart-stamp of personally ordering the bloodline to be removed.

"The two maids were chosen by my wife, and they were all born to the family. Their words should be trusted."

Zhen Shicheng nodded.

Since the two maids were chosen by Mrs. Bo to give birth to their children, their family must be useful in front of Mrs. Mei. The possibility of them helping Aunt Mei murder her mistress or concealing a crime for Aunt Mei is extremely low.

Zhen Shicheng looked at Chaoyun and asked the same question: "When did you fall asleep last night?"

Chaoyun was silent for a long time before saying: "Hai Shi."

There were also two personal servants serving Chaoyun, but these two servants looked at each other when they heard Zhen Shicheng asked about serving his aunt to sleep.

Uncle Yong Chang snorted coldly.

The two maids lowered their heads and said in unison: "My aunt slept alone last night."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's gaze at Chaoyun immediately became subtle, and many people even thought of Chaoyun's abortion three years ago.

The two rooms have not been moving for many years. As soon as the news came out that Chaoyun was pregnant, there was a lot of discussion in the palace, thinking that Chaoyun had finally survived, and an aunt could not run away. Who knew that the lady was sick, uncle Fearing that his wife would be upset, she ordered Chaoyun to have an abortion without hesitation.

Tsk tsk, after hitting that, Chaoyun's cry from time to time came from the West Crossing Yard. She must have a grudge in her heart, so she killed her.

Xie Qingyao was already very sensible three years ago. At this moment, he couldn't help thinking of this anymore. He stepped forward and asked: "Auntie Yun, did you really kill my mother?"

Chaoyun looked at Xie Qingyao expressionlessly, without saying a word.

"You speak!" Xie Qingyao raised his voice, "My mother has never treated you badly, and now she has died so miserably, don't you even want to say a word?"

"I haven't." I don't know if Xie Qingyao's words touched Chaoyun, or she knew that it was impossible to avoid it under the eyes of everyone, and finally spoke.

Just three words fell into the ears of everyone, seeming a little weak.

"Does the auntie always sleep alone?" Zhen Shicheng asked again without being affected.

A maid said: "My aunt hasn't slept well for the past two years, and she doesn't like our company."

Zhen Shicheng stroked his beard: "That said, you didn't know if your aunt had been sleeping in the house last night?"

The two maids glanced at each other, and the maid who had just responded shook her head: "The maid doesn't know, but she didn't hear any noise."

She was always asleep, and she couldn't hear the thunder, let alone anything else.

The other maid hesitated.

"Why, what did you hear?" Zhen Shicheng asked momentarily.

"The maid—" The maid gave Chaoyun a quick glance.

Uncle Yong Chang immediately yelled: "If you have anything to say, let's see what she does? Could it be that Aunt Yun will send you monthly silver?"

The maid knelt down involuntarily, with her head buried extremely low: "Auntie... Auntie should burn paper at night..."

"What kind of paper to burn?" Uncle Yong Chang was full of anger.

The maid's head hangs lower: "Paper burned for the unborn little boy..."

Originally from Cong Chaoyun who lost her child. Every year on the day of abortion, she would burn paper for her unborn child. This maid met in the first year. Although she heard no movement last night, she found something left in the corner of the courtyard this morning ash.

"The first year you went to Xikuayuan and saw your aunt burning paper, when did you come?"

The maid recalled: "Mao Chu Shifen."

A woman exclaimed: "Oh, the old slave remembered that the child Aunt Yun was born in Maoshi today!"
