Gu Xin immediately knew what the Wang family mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had their eye on.
A housekeeper or manager who can control his younger brother shouldn't be considered a weak person.
And Fatty Wang needs someone like that.
Seeing that Gu Xin remained silent, Lord Xu guessed that she suspected the murderer was targeting Hao Ge'er's mother. He then added, "Princess, in my opinion, Hao Ge'er's mother shouldn't have offended anyone. She lost her mother at ten and then took over managing the household. Her maternal grandparents' family lived far away, and the Chen family itself was small and not from Tongzhou, so their family of four lived a very simple life. After Hao Ge'er's mother married Shou Cheng, the old lady and Madam Wang intentionally groomed her, letting her take over the household management. Except for the month before and six months after giving birth, she managed her own dowry and Madam Wang's dowry shops and estates. She has a strong drive and wants to do everything well. Everyone can see how good her relationship with Shou Cheng and his wife is; one is busy indulging in pleasure, the other busy managing the business and the children, they don't interfere with each other, their relationship isn't overly romantic, but it's very harmonious."
"Shoucheng spends most of the year playing at various relatives' homes, and when he comes back, he spends time with his wife and children. Haoge'er's mother knows he won't have a mistress or bring women home casually, so she doesn't say anything to him. My eldest daughter is still unmarried at nineteen because her fiancé is in mourning, and she happens to be on good terms with Haoge'er's mother. I once heard my wife sigh that Haoge'er's mother is a good person, teaching my daughter how to control her emotions and how to gain a foothold in her husband's family. My wife also said that if she were younger and the same age as them, she would also be willing to be this close friend."
"Hao-ge'er's mother has always been very clear-headed and knows what she wants. She won't get angry or do anything unwise just because Shoucheng is out partying. If Shoucheng ever bullies her or makes her feel wronged, I guarantee that Old Madam Wang and Madam Wang will definitely beat Shoucheng severely. Don't be fooled by how much they spoil Shoucheng; they are very satisfied with this daughter-in-law they personally chose. Sometimes it even gives people the feeling that she is their child, not their daughter-in-law."
"Haoge's mother is sensible and knows how to conduct herself. She knows what she should and shouldn't do. She doesn't act superior just because she is the daughter-in-law of the prefect. She is very good at winning people's hearts. In the circle of women in Tongzhou, almost no one has spoken ill of her. On the contrary, they secretly feel sorry for her, thinking that she is such a good woman, but her husband doesn't love his family. She is wronged."
"Therefore, I believe that it is very unlikely that Hao-ge'er's mother would attract the murderer."
After listening, Gu Xin did not comment.
After all, this is what outsiders see; we'll have to wait until Fatty Wang comes to his senses before asking him.
Although it was somewhat cruel, Fatty Wang, the only surviving member of the Wang family, still had to face it. He had to ask the questions he needed to ask and say the things he needed to say.
After inspecting the scene, Zheng Qiu was still not finished with her, so Gu Xin asked Lord Xu to bring over the interrogation records that had been made before her arrival, and also asked someone to bring over the two pilgrims who had stayed at Hongyuan Temple the night before.
This time, she simply waited in the yard.
