Chapter 478 Unknown man
Zhou Xian couldn't help but raise his eyes and looked at Chi Shi's head.
Fortunately, Ashi is a girl, otherwise, the marriage will be done and Xu Wuniang married into the Chi family. Wouldn’t Chi Shi get married today and become a father tomorrow?
Although death is the most important thing for people to think like this, I can’t help but get stuck in my head with such thoughts.
If today's incident is spread, it will most likely become the only ridiculous point in the wise Shenwu Master Chi Jiu.
Zhou Xian's thoughts drifted away, but Chi Shi stared at Miss Xu Wu's mother, Aunt Zhang.
"Since you don't refute, you're accusation. There were so many people here before, Xu Wuyunying was not married, I said she was pregnant. If you don't know, you should jump up and scold me for slandering her innocence."
"Or breathed a sigh of relief, because the pregnant female deceased could not be your daughter. But you didn't have it, you were just crying sadly. So, Xu Wuniang is indeed pregnant, right?"
Aunt Zhang looked at the British Duke, then at her husband Xu Guangqing, and was scared. She glanced at the burnt charred body with her outlook, and nodded heavily.
"That's right! Wu Niang is pregnant and is almost seven months old."
As soon as she finished speaking, the British Duke standing beside him raised his hand and slapped her in the face.
"How did you say such shameless words?"
As if I thought about the fact that I had said I would be betrothed to Chi before, the British Duke turned his head with guilt, "My granddaughters are all ladies from famous families. Although the fifth sister doesn't like to talk on weekdays, she knows the rules the most. You are her mother, how can you slander her? In my opinion, this is not my granddaughter at all."
Chi Shi listened and sneered, "When the Duke of the Kingdom looks in the mirror, do you often say that the British Duke is extremely smart and a real gentleman. This stupid villain must not be a British Duke."
Aunt Zhang was a little dazed. After a while, she covered her face as if she had woken up from a dream.
"Although I also hope that she is a lady from a famous family, she is my daughter first. I can't even recognize my daughter when she dies, and I won't find the murderer who killed her. It was because of me that she gave birth to her different from ordinary people..."
She said, her eyes firmer. She adjusted her posture and looked at Chi, "This is my daughter Xu Wuniang. She just turned seventeen and was embarrassed to meet people because she had a red birthmark on her face."
"There is no wall in the aristocratic family. She is a concubine daughter and has no good color. She has never been able to talk about marriage, so she has been delayed until now. Even the sixth and seventh ladies behind her have been engaged, and she has not yet settled down."
"I've been anxious to get angry. Last year, when I was in the imperial examination, I even saw the people who failed, but I didn't find any good marriage. I had no requirements, just want to find someone who would not look down on her."
Aunt Zhang said, taking out a veil and wiping her tears.
"Just when I was anxious and worried that she would become an old girl, I suddenly realized that her menstruation had not come for a long time. When I asked her, she was four months pregnant. When I asked who the man was, she would not tell me!"
Aunt Zhang sniffed, and her voice became more and more sad, "I secretly bought medicine and wanted to remove this evil seed. But Wu Niang said that if the child is gone, she will hit her head to death. I gave birth to three sons, and she had no choice but to have a daughter."
"I didn't give her a good background, nor did I give her a good appearance. How could I bear to force her to death with such a poor daughter? She always stays in the attic on weekdays, and she doesn't need to go out except when the whole family has to be there for dinner and needs to meet people."
"There is no girl in the mansion who is close to her. She always lowers her head and doesn't speak. She wears looser clothes and no one will notice it. Moreover, she said she wants to go, but in fact, there are so many people who may not all go..."
Chi Shi nodded, "You said she has been worried recently, but what is wrong with it?"
"Yes!" Aunt Zhang's handkerchief was soaked. She simply threw the handkerchief and wiped it with her sleeves. "She didn't like to leave the attic before, and she became even more pregnant. But recently, she always leaves every now and then, without taking a single person."
"I thought she might go to see the child's father, so I followed Madam Hong beside me, wanting to see which bastard it was. If I could tell who it was, I would give up my old face and let that person marry my daughter and be responsible to her."
"But she walked through the wheat fields and walked northward to the corner of the wall, where there was a row of peony flowers. Because of her average appearance and far apart, almost no one would go there. She sat in the flowers with her legs in her arms, without saying a word, and sat for a whole day. I followed her twice, but I didn't see anyone, so I stopped following her."
"When the Duke led someone to harvest wheat, she didn't go. I woke up today and didn't see her. I thought that it wasn't that the wheat was finished, and there were fewer people here, so she went to relax again, so she didn't care about her... I didn't expect... my miserable daughter!"
Chi Shi listened and sighed softly.
There were no fatal scars in Xu Wuniang's body, but with a rough autopsy, there was no way to infer the cause of her death.
Chi Shi thought, and looked at the male corpse over there again.
"The male deceased is normal in height. His head...has a big hole in his skull. It looks very unnatural at the back of his head, as if he was injured by a blunt object."
Chi Shi said, his eyes lit up, he picked up tweezers and gently clamped it, and a small circle was clipped out from the skull. Although it was already burning black, the shape of this circle was obviously artificial.
She took out a piece of oil paper, wrapped the ring, and handed it to Zhou Xian, "It may be on the weapon, but what kind of weapon will there be such a small metal ring?"
Zhou Xian frowned, "Blunt weapon, and rings, staff? I have seen some masters who like to use staff, but the rings hanging on the staff are rarely so small. It may be a certain ornament or bronze ware?"
"What you said is possible," Chi Shi said, and stood up. "The body was burnt so badly, and neither of them was complete. I wanted to find out more things, so I needed to carry them to the Chu Prince's Mansion and spend some time."
She didn't say anything completely. Daliang's people may not be able to accept her way to test her bones. Some things, it's better not to say them.
