Chapter 102 Found the news
After hearing this, the eldest lady frowned: "A Qingye came to my place to intercede for the eldest young master. After checking, she was asked by Aunt Wang from the sewing room. Later, Jingtai also came and said that she was the second wife.
Brother asked him to come."
She rubbed her brows: "Jing'an and Jing Li have always had a good relationship. He is from the second wife. It is not convenient for him to come to me to plead for mercy. It is understandable that Jing Tai comes. But is there a problem with Qingye? Aunt Wang
Grandma and Grandma Li from the second room have always been close. If the people from the second room don’t come out to pass on Wei’s orders, how can Grandma Wang dare to act without authorization?”
She let out a long sigh: "Wait and see. Nai Die should be back soon."
After a while, Cai Die came back and reported: "Over there at the ancestral hall, only the second young master and the third young master went to see the eldest young master; the other one was Qingye, but he didn't enter the ancestral hall and only stood outside for a while.
Just left." She raised her head and said, "No one is going to the main courtyard either."
The eldest lady and Aunt Zhou looked at each other.
"Madam, it's late at night, I need you to wait for me to rest," said Grandma Zhou.
Pingwenhou Zhao Yuanxun was in poor health. Not only did he often have trouble sleeping, but he also sometimes coughed. In order not to disturb Zhu's rest, he spent most of the month resting in the front yard.
When he was young, for the sake of his children, he would occasionally go to his aunt's room to rest. Later, when Zhao Jingtai was born, he stopped going to his aunt's room. In addition to resting in the main room, he would rest in the front yard.
Caidi could tell that Nanny Zhou had something to say to the eldest lady, so she did not go into the inner room and only stayed outside to guard.
Aunt Zhou also noticed that the eldest lady was a little depressed, so she racked her brains to comfort her. After all, this opportunity was rare and it was a good opportunity to test Wei's reaction. Who knew that Wei could be so calm and stunned?
But they didn't find any flaws.
Of course, this is because the eldest lady is not ruthless enough. If the eldest young master is allowed to kneel for a whole night, if he is really the son of the Wei family, the Wei family will not be able to sit still.
However, if this is the case, the first ones who will be unable to sit still will definitely be the old lady and the Marquis. When the time comes and the old lady and the Marquis intervene, the eldest lady will have to give up this plan until there is no movement from the Wei family.
Did the Wei family just think of this and did not take any action?
"Madam, in fact, it is not without gain." Grandma Zhou said in a low voice while helping the eldest lady take off the hairpin ring on her head.
"Are you talking about Grandma Wang?" the eldest lady asked listlessly.
"No." Aunt Zhou said, "Second Madam is usually very concerned about Second Young Master. She has to send her mother-in-law to deliver late-night snacks to Second Young Master every night and watch him eat and sleep before leaving. But.
Not tonight. It’s already this hour, and according to previous times, the people delivering late-night snacks from the Second Madam would have gone to the front yard long ago, but as Cai Die said just now, no one has gone to the main yard.”
The eldest lady paused while taking out the earrings, and looked at Aunt Zhou in the mirror through the bronze mirror.
Did Wei's actions tonight show a guilty conscience and go too far?
After a long time, when Aunt Zhou helped her take off all the jewelry, she sighed and said dejectedly: "It's useless, it's still useless. This is still our guess, we can't be sure."
Aunt Zhou also sighed.
Isn't it? Even if the second lady didn't deliver midnight snacks to the front yard tonight, what does it matter? At most, it would only make their suspicions a little more serious. It still can't really prove that the eldest young master is not the son of the first lady, but the second lady.
Born.
The eldest lady's painful struggle is still not over.
Xu Xi returned to Pinming Residence and asked Dian Jiang to light the lamp. She sat at the table and designed two jewelry pictures before falling asleep.
I don’t know how long it took, but the voice of the system suddenly sounded in her head, and the voice was very excited: "Host host..."
Xu Xi opened his eyes and saw darkness in front of him.
The ancient nights are different from modern ones. As long as you live in the city, the night sky will be polluted by various light sources, and the windows will always be lit. But in ancient times, if it was not a full moon, there would be almost no light outside the windows.
"Have you found out Po Wen's whereabouts?" she asked.
In the middle of the night, the system woke her up so excitedly. Apart from this good news, there was nothing else.
Sure enough, the system said: "Yes, the host has been found. After she was bribed by the Wei family and exchanged you and Zhao Jingli, she was worried that the Wei family would kill her, so she went to a strange place overnight after returning home. Because the Wei family gave
After paying her a large sum of money, she bribed the local policeman to create a false identity. After staying there for a month, she felt unsafe and repeated her old tricks. She changed her identity twice and moved several times in the past ten years. The Wei family and
The old lady and the others can't find out her whereabouts now."
"You are so awesome." Xu Xi immediately praised the system and praised it, and then asked, "Then where is she now?"
"In Gusu City in the south of the Yangtze River. After she left the capital, she no longer worked as a stable woman, but opened a grain and rice shop to do business. Now she is an old lady with servants at home."
No wonder it couldn't be found. Her identity had changed twice, her occupation had changed, and her class was different. The Wei family and the old lady probably looked around for the stable ladies in various places, but of course they couldn't find her.
"How much money did the Wei family give her back then?" Xu Xi wondered, "Didn't it mean that the Wei family was relatively poor when the Wei family married in?" How much money would allow someone to take such a big risk?
"Wait a minute, I'll go check it out." The system said and then became silent again.
Xu Xi couldn't sleep, but she didn't get up. Instead, she lay on the bed and waited quietly.
When she was about to fall asleep again after waiting, the system's voice rang again: "Host, the Wei family gave Po Wen two thousand taels of silver; Wei's wet nurse and the dead nanny also received five hundred taels each.
Two. These three thousand taels of silver were given to her by Zhao Yuanliang for safekeeping."
"Why does Zhao Yuanliang have so much money?"
"The deceased Duke was worried that after his death, the old lady would divide the family, and the two concubines would not be able to live on with the small amount of property they received, so he gave them three thousand taels of silver respectively. Zhao Yuanliang was fascinated by the Wei family at that time.
Wudao. After Mr. Wei coaxed him, he gave the money to Ms. Wei for safekeeping."
"..."
Men are indeed big pigs. In order to treat the disease of the Duke of Guo, the old lady almost spent all her family wealth, but it turned out that the son of the Concubine was the son of the concubine before she died.
"Thank you for your hard work, honey. You should have a good rest. I want to think about how to reveal the news about Po Wen to the old lady and the eldest lady."
Xu Xi was very satisfied with the performance of the system and decided not to criticize it in the future. Not only did they only charge 150 points to find out such difficult-to-find information, but they also gave her several incidental information for free.
information.
