Chapter 313 Who Killed the Wife
312
Sima Lantai woke up in the room opposite, and Su Haoyi got up, and she didn't even wear any coats.
"Can it be my aunt..." Su Haoyi looked at Sima Lantai and said halfway.
"It shouldn't be," Sima Lantai said while putting her on her coat, "I went to check her pulse last night at Hai Hai, but it was weak but not dangerous."
In fact, it is not my aunt, but Mrs. Zhao.
She hung herself in her house.
The maid who got up early and went out tonight went in and took a look when she heard that her wife had not yet gotten up.
As soon as I entered, I saw the eldest lady hanging on the beam of the house and had been dead for a long time.
The maid screamed, just the scream that Su Haoyi and the others heard.
I have to say that the Zhao family has been very lively these days. The little aunt made a fuss and the old lady made a fuss, and now she is a wife again.
The old man guarding the gate said, "I am worthy of being a wife, and the most disturbing thing happened."
The Zhao family’s wife is dead, and this is a big deal.
Everyone kept it from the old lady, not daring to let her hear any movement.
After all, the old lady is sick and can't stand any fright.
Fortunately, the old lady slept heavily last night and didn't hear any movement.
Mr. Zhao was mourning, and the joy of having a child in his old age could not resist the sadness of his wife committing suicide.
He felt guilty in his heart, and he quarreled with his wife last night.
Because Mrs. Zhao said that the child would be kept in her house and kept, the aunt could only be a wet nurse. When the child stopped breastfeeding, she asked her to move to the farm.
Master Zhao couldn't bear it, so he said that it was not easy for his aunt to give birth to the child because he suffered such danger. Yu Zhao's family was also considered a contribution.
Besides, even if she was left in the Zhao family, it would not be a threat to the eldest wife. Although the child was born by a little aunt, he still wanted to call his wife a mother.
But Mrs. Zhao didn't know what was wrong, but she just refused to give in.
The two of them quarreled until midnight, and Mr. Zhao was exhausted both physically and mentally, so he simply went to the study to sleep.
I never expected that Mrs. Zhao was so arrogant that she actually committed suicide.
When Sima Lantai and Su Haoyi arrived there, Mrs. Zhao had already been put down. They were invited by Mr. Zhao, and they insisted that they see if Mrs. Zhao was saved.
"My doctor, do you think my wife can still be saved?" Mr. Zhao begged: "You have excellent medical skills, maybe there is still a way."
"Master Zhao, although I know some medical skills, I can't recover from the dead," Sima Lantai said that he could not help: "Mrs. I have died, please feel sorry for me."
Mrs. Zhao's parents' home is in the next town, and her two daughters are not far away.
The Zhao family sent people to deliver letters, and before noon, people who attended the funeral came to their door one after another.
Mrs. Zhao went suddenly, and everyone couldn't accept it.
Especially the two daughters.
Mrs. Zhao's brothers in her parents questioned her brother-in-law in a hurry, after all, his sister had a short opinion of her.
A woman must be wronged when she seeks death. As a family member, she naturally wants to seek justice for her.
Naturally, there were Zhao's family members helping to persuade him, and the room was so messy that it didn't look like it.
Su Haoyi and the others had already come out and diagnosed the pulse of the aunt and the old lady separately.
"Senior brother, are we still going to the Grand Lady's Court?" Su asked Sima Lantai with kindness: "Just just now, the housekeeper said that his second lady was pregnant, afraid that she would get angry after being sad, so she wanted us to take care of her."
"Then go over!" Sima Lantai did not refuse.
The two returned to the main courtyard. At that time, Mrs. Zhao was placed on the bed like they did when they first came, and a group of people gathered around to cry.
Su was so scared that he didn't dare to look at Mrs. Zhao's face, and his eyes stopped on Mrs. Zhao's feet. Mrs. Zhao was originally covered with a quilt, but her two daughters rushed to caress the body and cried. Then she tore the green silk quilt, revealing Mrs. Zhao's feet.
Su Haoyi saw it, immediately exclaimed, blurted out, and said, "Didn't Mrs. Zhao commit suicide?"
Although her voice was not loud, it was like a stone throwing towards the lake, causing ripples.
"Who are you? What do you mean by saying this?" Mrs. Zhao's brother rushed over and questioned Su Haoyi: "How do you know that my sister didn't commit suicide?"
His aggressive look was very terrifying. Sima Lantai stretched out his hand to block Su Haoyi behind him and spoke to him: "You are kind of polite, we are not the ones we killed."
"These two are miraculous doctors from Xianyuan Mountain, so you must not be rude," Mr. Zhao stepped forward and said, "If you have something to do, please ask."
Sima Lantai turned his face and asked Su Haoyi: "Did you see her feet?"
Because the quilt on Mrs. Zhao was covered with it again at this time, it was not easy to see clearly what happened to her feet.
Su nodded kindly: "Mrs. Zhao's feet are flat."
"Is there anything wrong with this?" Everyone was confused.
"Although it's wrong," Su said kindly: "Mrs. Zhao was hanged, right?"
"Yes, it was discovered by the maid Yanzi." Mr. Zhao said: "She was so scared that she couldn't get up at all. Xiaohong ran to find me. When I came in, I saw that she was hanging on the beam of the house, and the embroidered dorm was lying on the ground. The person... was no longer able to do it."
"What was the wife's feet at that time?" Su asked him kindly: "I'm asking about the toes."
"What can that happen? The person is dead and naturally becomes stiff." Mr. Zhao said.
"Mrs. The first thing you see when you come in must be her feet, right?" Su said kindly: "Then I ask if her toes were facing people or facing the ground?"
"This..." Zhao Yuanwai thought for a while and said, "It's against people, just like now."
Mrs. Zhao had been dead for a long time and the body was stiff, so even if the body was removed and laid flat, the posture did not change.
"The suspicion is here," Su said kindly: "If it is someone who committed suicide, even if she is determined to die, her body will struggle uncontrollably when she is angry. After she dies from exhaustion, her hands and feet will naturally hang down, so the toes should be downward. It's like a person who died of water will hold water plants or mud and sand after being caught up. But if someone is thrown into the water after death, his hands will be very clean. Mrs. Zhao's toes are flat, which means she was hung up after death."
"This... how is this possible? Who harmed her?" Mr. Zhao couldn't accept it for a moment.
"Human life is at stake, so Master Zhao should report it to the official! The coroner in the yamen must understand better than me." Su said with good intentions.
The reason she knew this was because she had been in the Baiya Guard for a few days, and accidentally heard the guards there discussing these things, so she heard it a few times.
As for Sima Lantai, he is a miracle doctor himself, and of course some of the human body's reactions are much clearer than ordinary people.
Mr. Zhao did not dare to neglect, so he quickly sent the butler to report to the official.
This incident was extraordinary, and everyone present didn't even care about crying.
