My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Mrs. Gu fell silent after hearing this.

Then, he spoke calmly.

Are you sure your tongue is gone?

That's what Mrs. Feng said.

Sister-in-law Mrs. Liu answered, and when Du Jingyi heard Mrs. Gu speak like this, her eyes suddenly became sharp. Could it be...

Looking at each other with Mrs. Gu, they both understood what they were thinking.

The person who could make the fourth prince's concubine die speechless must have been caused by her breaking into some secret in the palace. She even did not hesitate to throw dirty water on her, that is, to divert everyone's attention.

Everyone's mind was focused on the speculation of whether she had a hidden disease or not, but the real cause of her death was ignored.

Isn't this what people in the palace love to do?

For some reason, Mrs. Gu suddenly remembered what Queen Guo once said, and she secretly guessed in her heart whether this matter might be related to the immortality elixir?

When she thought that Queen Guo might have sent someone to do it, Mrs. Gu's expression became much more complicated. She couldn't go back after all. The good child she was back then was now a person with bloody hands.

I sighed deeply in my heart.

Du Jingyi didn't know what Mrs. Gu was thinking, but she also had similar thoughts, such as whether she had bumped into something she shouldn't have bumped into, so she had to die.

But the inexplicable disappearance of the majestic princess would easily arouse people's suspicion, so she simply created such a thing without doing anything else, just to disturb everyone's attention.

In this way, they can fish in troubled waters.

What kind of water can be mixed with it? What kind of fish are you touching? Du Jingyi has no idea in his mind.

Sister-in-law Liu didn't expect this, but Amitabha said something.

Misfortunes and blessings are unpredictable. The living people who were lively and lively just a few days ago are now lying in that cold coffin. It is really sad.

After letting out a long sigh, Mrs. Gu had no intention of keeping the two of them any longer.

So he let them go back, and he turned on the lamp and went to sleep. However, he was tossing and turning on the bed, wondering if he should go to the palace?

In Xitang Courtyard, Du Jingyi did not collapse as soon as he returned. Instead, he called in the detective and asked about today's events.

What they said was exactly the same as what Madam Feng Shao said, which made Du Jingyi feel even more strange.

“Check carefully, check who the fourth prince had contact with in the month, no, three months before his death, what places he went, or what medicine he took, etc., check them all.

Yes, young lady.

The spy left to her by Shang Ji was originally responsible for investigating these shady things, so it was not a difficult task for them, it just took some time.

After Nai Tan left, Ying Tao went up to undress her, wash her, and then said something slightly worried.

Does the young lady have to wade through this muddy water? If there is really another reason for the death of the fourth prince, will our general's office be implicated in investigating this matter?

Cherry's words made Du Jingyi temporarily silent.

It is undeniable that this situation is possible, but when she thinks of the looks in the eyes of Wei Jialian and the fourth prince today, she can't help but feel that this matter has something to do with the Wei family.

The reason why she didn't let the internal detective investigate the relationship between the Wei family and the fourth prince's concubine was because she didn't want to make a conclusion right away, thus neglecting other things. Therefore, guessing was just a guess, and the final result had to be the basis.

On the surface, this matter has nothing to do with our General's Mansion, but without this princess, the fourth prince's house will definitely be in turmoil, and presumably there will be some cracks in the relationship with the Pingding Hou Mansion. In such a mess, who knows what will happen No one will aim a secret arrow at the East Palace. Since the general is the confidant of the East Palace, we all regard the prince as our respecter, so it’s better to be on guard.

Cherry didn't know much about these government affairs, so she could only listen to her young lady's arrangements. She didn't say anything more and waited for her to wash up before turning off the lights.

This night was destined to be an uneventful night.

The news of the death of the fourth prince's concubine was hotly discussed in the streets and alleys of Ancheng in the next few days, and the sound of mourning and wails could be heard in the fourth prince's residence every day, causing many passers-by to shout. Feeling.

The fourth prince and the fourth prince's concubine were once envied by everyone for their talents and looks. Now that they are separated forever, it is really a pity.

Just like when Princess Fu and Prince Fu's son passed away, Prince Fu also said that his love was as deep as the sea. Unfortunately, the real situation was that his love was as deep as grass.

On the second day after the fourth prince's concubine's first birthday, Du Jingyi was sitting at home and having fun with Brother Tai when he heard that Sanlang's wife came to see him.

Why is she here?

It's said that he went to Zhuangzi to visit someone from the fifth house, and he came here specifically to talk to the young lady.

Du Jingyi was a little impressed. She was so deft that she had already done what she just said, so she said to Cherry.

Go ahead and invite me.

Yes, ma'am!

When Sanlang's wife arrived, she happened to see Fu Fu taking brother Tai away. Du Jingyi smiled and explained.

The child is a bit fussy. I'll ask the wet nurse to take her down to sleep for a while. Third sister-in-law can just sit down. No need to be formal.

Young lady, you're too polite, but I'm not too formal.

Then he sat opposite Du Jingyi, his face a little serious, and then he talked about Zhuangzi.

Two days ago, I went to Zhuangzi to visit my second aunt. She is really not doing well now. She relies on the medicine and is unconscious for most of the day.

how come?

There is a little girl taking care of her. It seems to me that she has very hairy feet and hands. I guess the fifth room doesn't want to treat the second aunt properly. I heard that even the food is dealt with casually.

Hearing this, Du Jingyi further confirmed his previous thoughts.

I'm afraid that Mrs. Guo was too talkative to tell the story about Shang Qiniang, so she didn't even leave a way for her to survive.

Second Aunt is like this, so what about Seventh Sister? Isn't it the same?

This is very strange to say. The people in Zhuangzi said that the seventh sister was also dead. Now she can't even see anyone. I originally wanted to visit Yi Er, but who knew they blocked it so hard, so I didn't see her either. noodle.

oh?

I just said that I have a contagious disease, so I can't see people, but I saw that the people in Zhuangzi didn't take any protective measures. I really don't know if they are telling the truth or just trying to trick me!

Of course I'm tricking you, Du Jingyi said.

But he still put on a strange expression on his face and said.

Have you hired a doctor?

I said I was invited, but the doctor said I don't have many jobs left.
