Chapter 1074 Inquiry
Sister Yin glared at him and asked, "What are you thinking?"
Brother-in-law Yin swallowed his saliva and stammered, "Yuan Niang, I was thinking that you and my younger brother are siblings from the same mother, and we...ah——"
Brother-in-law Yin really screamed at this moment.
Sister Yin tried her luck, gritted her teeth, and said, "I'm telling you, don't think about it. Grandmother is looking for a wife for me. Even if I can't marry a woman from a wealthy family, I can still marry a woman from a small family. Don't try to trick me!"
"How is this a perverse idea? Yuanniang, do you really agree to let Fourth Sister and the others marry into the family? You know, they are all illegitimate children, and they are a level higher than me."
Sister Yin snorted, stood up, unbuttoned her coat, and threw it directly onto the shelf. "Don't talk nonsense to me. You are just taking advantage of my father's absence from the capital, so all the dirty and smelly people come to me. Even you are planning to take advantage of our family."
After saying that, her eyes turned red, especially when she thought about the fact that there was always someone hanging around her these past two days. She sent people to investigate but couldn't find the source, which made her feel even more aggrieved.
Seeing this, Yin's brother-in-law immediately put his arm around her shoulders and comforted her, "Yuan Niang, you know that's not what I meant. A son-in-law is half my son. Isn't your home my home?" He said, "I'm just worried about my aunt's family. My cousins are always keeping an eye on our home. I stabbed myself now. The clan won't know about it for three or five days, but they will find out after a while. When they come to our house and bring up the adoption, won't it be you and grandmother who are angry?"
"If you know I'm mad at you, just help me sort things out and stop annoying me like them."
"Yes, yes, I will help you. I will help you, but what can I do for you? Last time I went to Jishitang to cause trouble for you, and I just got back to my original position now."
Sister Yin frowned and said, "I always feel something is strange. Can you help me check on that Doctor Zhou and her two fellow apprentices?"
Brother-in-law Yin moved his butt back and said, "You, you are still causing trouble for them. Didn't you say that my brother's current doctor has changed to her?"
Sister Yin glanced at him and said, "I didn't ask you to cause trouble for them. I just wanted to check their background to see if they had offended anyone or if they were sincere towards me."
"Didn't they just provoke the Third Prince? Didn't you say that the Third Prince and the Crown Prince were fighting, and the young master of the Duke of Pi's Mansion was affected. But she intervened and saved the young master... Was I wrong?"
Sister Yin tapped his forehead with a look of disappointment and said, "Can you please stop believing everything I say and use your brain? Forget it, just check what they usually do with me and see if they are sincere to me. Don't bother with anything else."
Manbao and the others knew nothing about this and still went to school and work on time every day. However, Daji no longer drove them alone, but brought two servants with him every day.
After Mrs. Liu learned from Daji that someone was watching them, she came here specially. After sitting in the carriage and strolling around the street, she secretly contacted Lord Wei and Lord Tang.
When Old Lady Liu went to the capital this time, she had a handwritten note from Lord Tang in her hand.
The capital city was still bustling with activity. The young master's downfall was like a stone falling into a river, splashing a little water but sinking into obscurity before even getting the stone wet.
Except for Minister Feng who is still investigating the case, no one in the court mentioned this matter anymore.
But even though he was Minister Feng, he didn't just investigate this one case. He had a lot of cases to review or investigate every day.
For example, the case of the miscarriage of a concubine in the Eastern Palace is now being handled jointly by him, the Dali Temple and the royal family.
This case is the most difficult one.
Although the case has now become cold and the prince doesn't seem to ask too much about it, it doesn't mean that they can stop investigating.
He didn't know about others, but the emperor was still waiting for a result.
But the more Shangshu Feng investigated, the more alarmed he became. His already thin hair began to fall out in clumps. He often thought in his sleep that he was getting old enough to retire and return home to farm.
Life is full of disappointments, but no matter how disappointing it is, life still has to go on. After Shangshu Feng discussed with the Dali Temple and the royal family, they all agreed that the longer they could delay, the better.
Especially when the queen's health is getting worse.
Manbao in Jishidiang also feels this deeply. Since she became famous, the patients who come to see her have become more diverse. Although most of them are still women, there are also more patients of other types.
As a result, she saw and heard more stories every day. Life was indeed full of disappointments, but no matter how disappointing it was, everyone still had to grit their teeth and get on with their lives.
Manbao felt very satisfied every day when she returned home from the pharmacy or went to Yin's house to see Yin, and felt that life was pretty good for her.
She felt that it was good for Yin Huo, so she particularly liked to tell Yin Huo about the various tragic stories she heard in the pharmacy. Of course, she would hide the patient's name, and only sigh, "I have a patient..."
Yin Huo was stunned every time he heard it.
Manbao said, "Well, after hearing that there are so many miserable people in this world, do you feel less miserable?"
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang also looked at Yin Huo curiously.
Yin Huomu shook his head blankly, "I've never felt miserable..."
Bai Erlang scratched his head and asked, "Then why did you commit suicide?"
This was the first time the three of them had discussed this topic so directly and asked about the reasons.
Yin Huo lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment before saying, "I just feel that there isn't much difference between being alive and being dead."
He smiled and said, "I always feel that my grandmother wanted to kill Changshou at that time. If someone really had to die, it would be better for me to die."
There was no use or fun in his living anyway.
The three of them opened their mouths wide and shuddered in unison, then lowered their voices and asked in a low voice, "Was your grandmother really going to beat Changshou to death? Has she ever beaten anyone to death before?"
Yin Huo thought about it seriously and nodded, "There have been cases of people being beaten to death in the mansion. I remember two. Actually, our family is considered good. My grandmother and sisters are very lenient with the servants because of my health. In other families, the death of one or two servants is normal."
Seeing the three of them open their mouths wide, Yin Huo smiled and said, "Are you surprised?"
The three of them nodded together.
Yin Huo said, "Let's not talk about the distant past. In the case of the young master of the Duke of Pi's mansion, one servant committed suicide, and the Duke of Pi's mansion had to deal with quite a few servants themselves. In addition to those sent to the manor, I heard that there were three who were thrown into the charity cemetery."
The three of them swallowed their saliva, all a little scared, "You, how did you know?"
Changshou, who brought tea and snacks to the three of them, said, "The young master asked me to find out."
The three of them felt Yin Huo's thoughtfulness and expressed their gratitude, "Thank you very much."
Yin Huo smiled and lowered his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
