Noble Lady Jing Zhao

Ye Jingzhao stepped forward and opened the study door, and saw Mrs. Wang outside with a worried look on her face.

"Mother Wang, something happened."

The third lady, Mrs. Xie, looked at Mama Wang at the door and asked hurriedly.

"I heard that Aunt Qiu's brother-in-law suddenly died in prison for some unknown reason."

Now an official came to visit, and he wanted to invite several gentlemen from the uncle's house to go to the Yamen to talk.

Mother Wang was worried about scaring the third lady, Mrs. Xie, so she changed her words.

The third wife, Mrs. Xie, did not notice anything strange about Mrs. Wang.

The third master frowned. He was in prison right now, why did he suddenly die?

"Don't worry, I'll go take a look and come back."

The third master stood up, gave a few instructions to the third wife, Mrs. Xie, and hurriedly left the uncle's house and went to the Yamen.

The third lady, Mrs. Xie, was very nervous.

Ye Jingzhao stepped forward, supported his mother, and went back to the main room to rest.

"Mom, don't worry, everything will be fine."

Although Ye Jingzhao comforted his mother, he secretly thought in his heart.

Now he suddenly died in prison, even though he had nothing to do with the third room.

But it was inevitable that he would arouse the emperor's anger and anger all the rooms in the uncle's mansion.

Aunt Qiu's mother-in-law's brother-in-law died in prison. In the afternoon of that day, word spread in the streets of Kyoto.

The people naturally pointed fingers at Chengen's Mansion.

The main gate of Chengen's residence was closed.

Additional servants were assigned to the front yard and back yard.

The current situation is extremely unfriendly to Uncle Chengen's Mansion.

The old lady was also anxious now.

He paced back and forth uneasily in the room, "Send someone to inquire again and see what the yamen says. By the way, what is being said outside now, you should also send someone to inquire carefully."

The old lady took Nanny Yuan's arm and warned her with an anxious expression.

"Old Madam, please be at ease, I have already ordered someone to inquire." Grandma Yuan persuaded the Old Madam.

Then he helped the old lady sit down and rest.

"Why did Hao Duanduan die so suddenly? That idiot Xue, although he is stupid, she couldn't do this even if she thought about it."

The old lady muttered secretly.

"Old Madam, would you like me to invite the Fourth Madam to come and talk."

"You go and call her."

Grandma Yuan took the old lady's signal and went to the fourth room in person to invite the fourth lady, Mrs. Xue, to come and talk.

Unexpectedly, the fourth lady, Mrs. Xue, went to see the fourth master in the prison today and has not returned home yet.

The old lady's heart sank, and she urged, "Send someone to see why we went to the Yamen to inquire about the news. No one has responded yet."

This time, Grandma Yuan sent three boys to the Yamen to inquire about the news.

This time, it was only half a cup of tea.

The boy replied.

He said that the case has been transferred to Dali Temple.

Several gentlemen from the uncle's house and Aunt Qiu's mother-in-law were now taken to Dali Temple.

The body of Aunt Qiu's brother-in-law has also been invited to do an autopsy.

Mr. Xue cannot return home yet.

Because she went to the prison today, but within half a quarter of an hour, Aunt Qiu's brother-in-law suddenly died.

In fact, this incident had already frightened the fourth lady, Mrs. Xue, to the point where she turned pale and collapsed to the ground.

Where is the previous calmness and composure.

Today, I was sent to prison by my mother-in-law.

Mr. Xue now suspected that the old lady had done something to put the blame on her.

After all, she just met Aunt Qiu's brother-in-law today.

In Zhiting Garden.

The third lady, Mrs. Xie, also ordered people to go out and inquire.

I heard that several of the uncle’s masters have now been taken to Dali Temple.

The third lady, Mrs. Xie, was heartbroken and almost lost her balance. Fortunately, she was standing beside the table and holding on to the edge, so she didn't fall down.

"Third Madam, I heard that the First Madam has sent people to take care of it. You don't have to worry. I think it's nothing important."

Mother Wang was advising from the side.The third lady Xie frowned deeply, feeling uneasy in her heart.

I could only hold Mama Wang's hand tightly, with worries in her eyes.

The death of Aunt Qiu and her brother-in-law became more and more serious in Kyoto.

Doubts among the public are fermenting toward an uncontrollable situation.

People were already surrounding the gate of Uncle Chengen's Mansion. In order to maintain public order, the officers patrolling the city from Kyoto today also added more manpower in front of the gate of Uncle Chengen's Mansion.

Fortunately, no one took the lead to make trouble in Uncle Chengen's Mansion.

Three days later, the results of the autopsy came out.

Aunt Qiu's brother-in-law did not die of poisoning, but died because of a sudden asthma attack and failure to rescue him in time.

Aunt Qiu's mother-in-law questioned the results of the autopsy.

Because my youngest son has never had asthma.

Dali Temple changed several more monks, but the results were the same.

The death of Aunt Qiu's brother-in-law was finally revealed by the government.

Now Aunt Qiu's mother-in-law has lost her youngest son.

Overnight, my head was covered with white hair.

The whole person is vicissitudes of life and lifeless.

How can I still think about suing the uncle's house?

Dali Temple came forward and asked the uncle's house to pay 100 taels for the funeral expenses of Aunt Qiu's family and the old lady's resettlement fee.

This matter has finally come to an end.

Several gentlemen from the uncle's house returned from prison.

The old lady specially ordered people to clean the main entrance of the uncle's house carefully, and then moved a brazier and placed it at the entrance of the gate.

The maid on the side was holding water in her hand.

The old lady and several of the uncle's daughters-in-law were at the door to greet her personally.

He also ordered people to set up a banquet in the main hall.

Everyone had eaten.

After this incident, the several gentlemen in the uncle's house became warmer among themselves.

During the dinner, cups and cups were constantly being pushed and replaced.

The wives of each room chatted and laughed with the old lady.

Only the fourth lady, Mrs. Xue, left the main hall while no one was paying attention.

Ye Jingzhao was suspicious of his fourth aunt's behavior.

He followed quietly with others.

After walking a few steps, I saw my fourth aunt Xue talking to a woman from a distance.

She turned around and made a gesture of silence towards the maids she brought behind her.

Gently, he leaned forward.

Fortunately, it was getting dark, and the lights on the corridor were dim.

Several people were hiding behind the pillars.

As he got closer, Ye Jingzhao realized that his fourth aunt Xue was talking to Aunt Qiu in the fourth room.

"Aunt Qiu, you are really good at it. Unexpectedly, you took advantage of me."

The fourth lady Xue’s voice was full of anger.

Aunt Qiu stood opposite the fourth lady Xue, her thin body swaying like duckweed in the cold wind.

"Fourth Madam, I can't understand what you mean."

"Heh, don't pretend to be here, put away your little thoughts. Although Fourth Master can protect you now, he may not be able to protect you one day. Let's wait and see."

"Fourth Madam, I have never dared to think any way of overstepping your bounds."

Aunt Qiu's voice was soft and weak, with a hint of fear and helplessness.

The fourth lady, Mrs. Xue, became furious when she saw her like this.

"Snapped."

A crisp sound.

The fourth lady, Mrs. Xue, raised her hand and slapped Aunt Qiu hard, her eyes full of bad luck.

The beating caught Aunt Qiu off guard.

His body swayed and he almost lost his balance.

She raised her eyes, her eyes full of innocence, and looked at the fourth lady Xue.
