It’s not that she doesn’t believe her daughter-in-law, it’s just that this is so unexpected!
Wu Yun'er was so anxious that she suddenly sweated on her forehead. She was just about to continue asking questions, but Fu Mingyu grabbed her sleeve.
She looked back at Fu Mingyu in confusion. Fu Mingyu gave her a look and told her to be silent.
Wu Yun'er now has a natural belief in Fu Mingyu. Since Fu Mingyu told her to stop talking, she swallowed the words that were already on her lips.
"It's not surprising that the boy at home was burned to death. I think he happened to be in the kitchen just now and didn't know what he was busy with, so he didn't run away." Fu Mingyu said lightly.
When Jing Zhaoyin heard this, he nodded.
"Did you count the number of people in the house just now? I heard from Princess Anhua that there is a servant missing and a cook." Jing Zhaoyin asked, "There should be this servant."
"It is true that one boy is missing." Fu Mingyu said, "I will report it to you later." In fact, there are two boys missing, but Fu Mingyu and Xia Pingting had a tacit understanding and did not say anything.
After all, a life was lost, so Jing Zhaoyin still had to go through the formalities and procedures.
"There's no rush, no rush. It won't be too late to report back once everything in the house is settled." Jing Zhaoyin said quickly.
Fu Mingyu herself was sweating. If Wu Yun'er continued to ask about the situation just now, someone might find out something. So Fu Mingyu stopped Wu Yun'er in time, and she moved the dead man's body to her home.
As for the young man, we can only change things for now. After all, if the late wife turns into a man, if this matter spreads out, I am afraid it will really damage Wu Yun'er's reputation.
A young boy in the house was just poisoned to death. I simply made a mistake and reported the boy's death here. In any case, I should save Wu Yun'er's reputation first.
Preserving Wu Yuner's reputation means preserving the stability of Duke Dingguo's palace.
If Wu Yun'er suffered such injustice in Dingguo Palace, it is estimated that his father far away in Jiangnan would not let it go.
Taking a step back, if this night mother is really a man, pretending to be a woman and lurking in the mansion for so many years without being discovered, then Wu Yun'er will be unable to argue in the future. Even if Dingguo Gongfu won't say anything, these two families
There will always be lumps.
Wait, an idea suddenly came to Fu Mingyu's swollen mind.
The Zi Han who appeared before, the unexplained child, and Wu Yun'er's wife now, as well as Wu Yun'er's body, there seems to be a big hand in the dark that is trying to push the Qin family and the Jiangnan Wu family to disintegration.
edge.
If Wu Yun'er turns against the Qin family's eldest husband and his wife, it will be a rift between the Qin family and the Wu family.
And I am afraid that this gap cannot be repaired no matter how hard I try!
Fu Mingyu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when she thought of this.
She quickly and quietly stretched out her hand to hold Wu Yun'er's hand. Their hands touched each other, and they both felt that the other's palm was cold.
Mrs. Dingguo's face was still as calm as water, which made Fu Mingyu feel a little calmer after seeing it.
In any case, the identity of this male corpse has not yet been confirmed, and my mother will not be unreasonable...
"Sir, my subordinates have inspected the fire scene. It should be that some rapeseed oil stored in the kitchen caught fire when it encountered sparks." The Yamen who went to inspect the fire scene also came to report. "It's just that my subordinates still lack a woman named Wan Niang.
The cook's confession. So come here and ask your Excellency to talk to Mrs. Dingguo, and let the cook give a confession and the case can be closed."
"Oh. If someone didn't set the fire deliberately, the case would be easy to handle." Jing Zhaoyin turned to Mrs. Ding Guogong and said, "Madam, please let the cook named Wan Niang come out to prove it."
Mrs. Dingguo replied calmly, "How did you know that the fire was caused by vegetable oil?" She looked at the government servant who came.
"Back to madam, I asked the maid in the house. The maid said that the cook in the courtyard, a woman named Wan Niang, went shopping in the afternoon and bought a large amount of vegetable oil. The maid also felt strange and asked
Mouth, why did you buy so much? When will you eat this? What is that called?
The cook of Wan Niang said that she happened to meet a shopkeeper and thought the oil was very good and cheap, so she sold it. However, her subordinates could not ask the cook personally. After asking several people, they all said they did not see Wan Niang. That Wan Niang should be
In this courtyard, after all, no one will see her go out again after she comes back."
Everyone...
Everyone was away from the house in the afternoon, but they didn't know that the late wife actually came back with vegetable oil... and she did so many tricks!
The fire in the small kitchen was indeed so big because of the oil! But was it vegetable oil or other flammable oil that the late wife bought?
But the crux of the problem now is that the yamen servant of the Jingzhao Yin Mansion wants to find Wan Niang to give a confession.
Fu Mingyu just said that the boy who died in the kitchen was a boy. What about Wan Niang?
"To tell you the truth, Wan Niang is missing." Mrs. Dingguo Gong said, "My second daughter-in-law said before that there are missing people, and one of them is Wan Niang."
"Ah? Then it is possible that the fire was caused by Wan Niang?" Jing Zhaoyin was surprised and said.
"It may be a coincidence. Or it may be intentional." Mrs. Ding Guogong said, "I will try my best to trace the whereabouts of Wan Niang. When I find her, I will definitely give an explanation to Jing Zhaoyin."
"Madam, if Wan Niang disappears and no confession can be obtained, the case will not be settled. I'm afraid it's because of man-made factors, and Wan Niang is the most suspicious. Please tell me the origin of this person," Jing Zhaoyin said with his hand.
.
Before Mrs. Dingguo could speak, she heard something like an explosion outside, "It's not good! Someone is dead! Someone has been killed!"
Everyone present was stunned.
Mrs. Dingguo’s face finally became a little unsteady!
"What's going on?" Mrs. Dingguo asked sharply.
"Perhaps he was frightened by the fire and was gibbering." Xia Pingting reacted quickly. "It was a mess just now when fighting the fire. Maybe someone was frightened when they saw the burnt corpse." She finished.
He quickly said to his maid, "Go and take that person away, don't cause trouble here."
"I was not frightened by the fire." Xia Pingting finished her words. The man just now managed to escape outside the tent for some unknown reason. He was held down by Lu Peiyuan.
"Help! Mr. Qingtian! This Duke of Ding's mansion is full of filth and evil! I really can't stand it anymore! The burnt one is the cook named Wan Niang. He is a man. He has been with the eldest mistress for so many years. I don't know.
What kind of deeds did he do? The sky has eyes and he was burned to death! He deserves it!" The man was held down and still struggling desperately, "
These dignitaries, bah, the boy they were talking about died somewhere else. Mr. Qingtian, don’t believe me, that boy and I were childhood friends! I am willing to die to show my will, and I will not let him die to repay the debt.
Being used to stop scandals!" After saying that, he actually bit his tongue hard, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he passed away!
