Chapter 505 Can't report to the official
Xia Li is younger and is close to Chuntao, and he always follows Chuntao's lead.
At this moment, she quickly echoed Chuntao's words, "Yes, that's what sister Chuntao said." Chuntao had just told her not to say anything about falling asleep last night.
She also knows that these masters always like to find scapegoats. If one of them is not good, she and Chuntao will be beaten to death.
The other two who were not on duty last night were also interrogated. Naturally, they knew nothing about anything. They only talked about the circumstances in which they discovered the news of the master's death in the morning.
Mrs. Su was crying while interrogating the person. At this moment, she "forced to hold back her grief" and said, "Mommy, I think it's better to report to the official."
"Madam, this... According to my opinion, the way I died was not very honorable. It would be bad if I reported it to the official and spread it. How about reporting it to the clan leader and uncle first and letting them make the decision?" Sun
Grandma suggested.
Mr. Su has always given people the impression of being incompetent, weak and without any opinion.
While crying, she nodded dumbly and said, "Okay."
As soon as the people she sent left, the housekeeper hurried in.
Before the family was separated, Zhao Yuankun was afraid that the steward assigned to him in the mansion was from the old lady and the Zhu family, so he tried to get hold of Mrs. Su and asked her to make trouble with the old lady and the Zhu family, even if he wanted to bring up one of her companions.
Be the steward. After the separation of the family, that person will directly become the steward.
As soon as the family was separated, Zhao Yuankun was busy running for an official position. After becoming an official, he was busy climbing up the ladder and had no time to take care of his family. Therefore, he did not have time to change housekeepers.
When Zhao Yuankun was beaten and Su went to make trouble at the entrance of the alley, the housekeeper was Su's roommate.
Later, Zhao Yuankun was lying in bed recovering from his injuries, thinking about his own way out, and immediately changed the housekeeper.
Now this housekeeper is Zhao Yuankun's original attendant, and he is still very loyal to him.
He was about the same age as Zhao Yuankun, and had already married and had children. Last night, his son was seriously ill. After receiving the news, he hurried back to the servant's room at the back to watch over his son. At dawn, his son's fever subsided, and he fell asleep in a daze.
When he received the news, he rushed over.
"Madam, what's going on? Why did I hear the boy say that the master..." He asked hurriedly before even taking a breath.
Mrs. Su's eyes were swollen from crying and her voice was so hoarse that she couldn't speak. She just pointed towards the house.
The butler looked back and motioned to the boy who followed him, "You come in with me." This was to be brave, and to be a witness.
The two entered the house together.
Mrs. Su and Grandma Sun were worried, fearing that they would see something.
Although they asked the Su family's nursing home to erase all traces, they were still worried that something might go wrong.
In fact, they didn't know that after the traces were wiped off in Su's nursing home, Mrs. Zhu sent her confidants to wipe them off for her.
Because she was worried that Zhao Yuanxun still had brotherly feelings for Zhao Yuankun, Zhu didn't tell anyone except Zhao Ruxi about this matter. Even the old lady didn't know.
The confidants she sent were also her companions.
The three butlers went in for a while and then came out, their faces extremely ugly.
Zhao Yuankun's body was not wearing anything, and it was still lying there in an embarrassing posture. The same was true for Aunt Wu. Their bodies were already cold.
"Madam, what's going on?" the housekeeper looked at Su and asked.
Mrs. Su pointed in the direction of several maids while crying.
The four maids were still kneeling on the ground at this time.
Aunt Sun then said for her, "Chuntao said that Aunt Wu once asked her to go to a brothel to buy aphrodisiacs for her."
housekeeper"……"
When asked, he couldn't say a word.
He knew that Aunt Wu's own mother was born in a brothel; the master was not very fond of women, and for some reason during this period he still doted on Aunt Wu, which made Aunt Wu's heart grow bigger and bigger, and he also knew that.
It would make sense if Aunt Wu used such despicable means to maintain her favor, but in the end there was a mistake in the medication, causing the master to suffer a stroke and die as a woman.
It seemed inappropriate if he questioned his wife again.
He was silent for a while and asked, "Madam, what should I do next?"
Su finally stopped crying and said in a hoarse voice, "I have sent someone to report to the clan leader and uncle."
The butler's brows furrowed.
"Madam, we can't let the master go in such an undignified manner. Why don't you let someone go in and clean up?" said the housekeeper.
"This..." Mrs. Su hesitated for a moment and shook her head, "No. The master went so unclearly. Maybe the clan leader and uncle will report to the official. Although I am a woman, I also understand that it is best to report to the official.
Don't move anything."
She raised her red and swollen eyes and looked at the housekeeper, "You don't want your master to die inexplicably, do you?"
Although the housekeeper sent people in to clean up the traces, the traces would be wiped away again, but when the clan leader and Zhao Yuanxun came, their attention might be focused on suspecting the cause of Zhao Yuankun's death and insisting on reporting it to the official.
But if you leave it as it is and wait for them to see this scene, their first reaction will be to cover it up to prevent the family scandal from being exposed. Instead, they will try their best to suppress the matter and not want to report it to the official.
Therefore, the scene cannot be moved under any circumstances.
When the housekeeper was asked by Su Shi, it was hard to say anything else. The last doubt about Su Shi was also dissipated.
If the old man died strangely, Su Shi would have something in her heart and she would definitely want them to deal with him. Now that she insists on reporting it to the official, it seems that the old man's death was indeed an accident and had nothing to do with the wife.
Several people waited patiently for a while, then the clan leader and Zhao Yuanxun hurried over.
The patriarch lives in a house not far across from Zhao Yuankun, and it is not a deep house. It is convenient to call him, so he came first.
Zhao Yuanxun had gone to the Yamen early. The servant had to go to Suiping Bo's Mansion to report the news and ask Suiping Bo's Mansion to send someone to the Yamen to call him back. The delay was long.
When Mrs. Zhu heard about this, she went to the third room in advance. But naturally it was not convenient for her to see the deceased, so she sat on the porch with Mrs. Su and comforted her.
When the clan leader came, he found out that Zhao Yuankun was dead, and that he had died immediately, and his face was very ugly.
He didn't want to take responsibility, so he didn't go in first. He waited until Zhao Yuanxun arrived before following him in and taking a look.
Soon he came out and scolded Su, "That's outrageous. Why didn't you send someone in to deal with it? Do you want this scandal to be known to everyone?"
Mrs. Su said what she said to the housekeeper again.
The patriarch was always afraid of trouble and did not take responsibility. He turned to Zhao Yuanxun and asked, "Yuanxun, what do you think?"
Before Zhao Yuanxun could speak, he added, "If we report it to the official and spread the word, our entire Zhao family will be embarrassed to go out for a walk. You will have to go to the Yamen tomorrow. If this matter about Yuan Kun is spread, you, the official
I'm afraid it might be affected."
After saying this, he made a firm decision: "No, I can't report to the official."
