Koi adopted daughter jumps over the farm gate

Xiao Fuyuan sat next to Mrs. Zhen obediently.

Hearing Lin Shaofang's words, he couldn't help but prick up his ears.

Could it be someone else’s big gossip?

"What are you talking about?"

Zhen saw that Lin Shaofang seemed to have made a lot of determination, and felt that this matter was probably not a trivial matter.

"Cousin, a few days ago I happened to hear Zhuangzi's old servants who came up to pay New Year's greetings chatting in the kitchen. They said that when my mother-in-law was buried, there was no one in the coffin..."

When Lin Shaofang heard the news, he asked the servant. But the servant didn't say much. He just said that he was deliberately trying to scare people, and left in a hurry.

She suspected that there was a secret behind her mother-in-law's death. Although she had never met her mother-in-law, she heard people occasionally talk about her mother-in-law, who was a beautiful, kind and weak person. When she married into the Zhong family, she was tortured in every possible way. Regardless of the fact that she had given birth to a son, he still tortured her day and night.

Later she hanged herself.

Because she committed suicide, even the Queen Mother had no way to seek justice for her. She could only deprive Mr. Zhong of his position in the military as punishment.

Lin Shaofang didn't dare to inquire at the Zhong family. All her former servants had been sold or driven to the village. Even if she inquired, she probably wouldn't be able to find out.

Because the father-in-law is a cruel person, everyone is afraid of the father-in-law. When the father-in-law gets angry, he will beat people to pieces without caring.

She knew that her men were unreliable, and her step-mother-in-law was even more untrustworthy. Her uncle and aunt in the Zhen family were even more indifferent to her mother-in-law's death. She couldn't find anyone to discuss it with.

The only people who were concerned about her mother-in-law's death were the Queen Mother and Zhen's cousin. The Queen Mother did not want to see the Zhong family and prohibited the Zhong family from entering the palace. Naturally, she could not see the Queen Mother.

After much deliberation, only cousin Zhen could discuss it.

So after finishing the New Year matters these days, I came to Bai's house to discuss with Zhen.

"What does it mean that there is no one in the coffin?" Before Zhen could speak, the old lady Bai on the side looked confused.

She had met the second young lady of the Zhen family, a very honest and beautiful girl. She heard that the Zhong family treated her badly and was beaten on the night they got married.

Could it be that the master of the Zhong family believed in some unscrupulous way and did something so that the second daughter of the Zhen family would not be able to live in peace even if she died?

This was not unusual. When she was in Shenshu Village, she had heard of some scoundrels who tortured their daughters-in-law to death and sold them to others for secret marriages.

Lin Shaofang shook her head and said, "I'm also confused. What does it mean that there is no one in the coffin? I sent my personal maid to inquire about the old servants in the village, but she couldn't find out. I was afraid of alerting others, so I came to consult with my cousin."

"Cousin, do you think it's possible that my father-in-law destroyed or hid my mother-in-law's body instead of allowing her to be buried peacefully?" Lin Shaofang couldn't figure it out even if she thought about it.

Zhen shook her head, she felt that things were not that simple.

"Mom, I thought of something." Xiao Fuyuan said casually while sitting next to her.

"What are you thinking about?" Zhen asked her daughter with a smile.

Maybe my daughter's words can provide some clues.

If she can find out that her second aunt died at the hands of the Zhong family master, Zhen will definitely avenge her second aunt.

"Mom, do you still remember that Sister Qiu always thought her mother was dead, but Sister Qingya went to Rongguo Palace to find out that Sister Qiu's mother had been imprisoned in the palace..." Xiao Fuyuan opened her big eyes, Mention the matter of Qiu Niangniang.

Lin Shaofang didn't understand what it meant.

But fire crackled in Zhen's mind.

Have they all lost their minds? Is it possible that the second aunt was not dead at all, but was imprisoned by the Zhong family?
Thinking of this, Zhen's hair stood up.

If this is the case, the master of the Zhong family is so cruel that he imprisoned a living person for nearly thirty years.

Mrs. Bai was thinking the same thing as Mrs. Zhen, and she looked at her granddaughter.

I already believed it in my heart.

"In that case, it's possible that your second aunt is still alive." Mrs. Bai said to Mrs. Zhen. Zhen nodded slightly.

She would rather believe that her second aunt is still alive.

"Second aunt, grandma, may still be alive." Xiao Fuyuan said.

Lin Shaofang was not stupid. He immediately figured out the story told by Xiao Fuyuan and said excitedly: "What the cousin and the old lady mean is that my mother-in-law may still be alive, and may be... imprisoned by my father-in-law? "

Lin Shaofang frowned and said, "But why is he imprisoning a living person?"

Zhen said with a heartbroken look: "Sometimes living is more painful than dying."

Mr. Zhong is such a perverted person. He is thinking of ways to torture his second aunt. Maybe making her want to die but not live will satisfy his perverted thoughts.

"Then where will my mother-in-law be imprisoned?" Lin Shaofang asked tremblingly.

The first thing she thought of might be Zhuangzi.

"Is it possible that it's Zhuangzi?"

Of course Zhen didn't know, but she felt that it was unlikely to be Zhuangzi. There was no place in Zhuangzi that was safer right under his nose.

"Maybe in your garden?" Zhen said.

Lin Shaofang's eyes widened.

It's not impossible.

But do my step-mother-in-law and husband know about this?

Should she tell her husband? After all, she is his biological mother.

Mrs. Zhen seemed to see Lin Shaofang's thoughts and said: "I think you should keep this matter a secret for the time being. After all, the matter is still uncertain. The less people know about it, the better. You can explore it quietly at home first. I can't help it either." Close. If my second aunt is really imprisoned, we must release her as soon as possible."

Mrs. Zhen didn't quite believe in her cousin Zhong He's character. Even if he knew that his mother was imprisoned, he would probably side with his father.

"Don't alert the enemy yet. I will also inform the Queen Mother. Her own sister cannot just sit idly by."

In order to confirm her suspicion, Zhen's next plan was to ask her fourth son to find someone to open the second aunt's coffin to see if there were any remains inside.

Lin Shaofang could not suppress her trembling. She understood what Zhen meant.

At the same time, he decided to pretend that nothing happened after returning home and secretly explore the house.

"I was just talking to you, but I forgot that Master Su Yu is waiting for you in the backyard." Zhen said.

So Lin Shaofang got up and went to the backyard to talk to Su Yu.

"Mom, grandma, sister, the theater troupe is about to start..."

Tian Maimiao walked in and invited Zhen, Xiao Fuyuan and others to watch the show.

Feng Zhiheng followed behind and said to Xiao Fuyuan with great interest: "Sister, I just went backstage to watch the shadow puppet show. Let's go quickly."

"Okay, let's take a good look today." Xiao Fuyuan stood up.

"Do you want to tell the Queen Mother about your second aunt?" Old Mrs. Bai asked.

Zhen thought for a while and said, "The Queen Mother has a lot of things going on these days, so I won't tell you for now. I will tell you when I find out the whereabouts of my second aunt."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came to the stage and saw the fourth son of the Bai family peeling grapes for the princess, so they asked the fourth son to tell the fourth son about the second aunt.

The princess said she could send her secret guards to sneak into Zhong's house to check.

Zhen was relieved, this was more reliable than Lin Shaofang secretly checking. (End of chapter)
